Chapter 274 Impersonation
The scholar was stunned for a moment, then sneered: "You dare to talk nonsense like this! Do you believe that we are suing you for slander? You are uttering arrogant words at such a young age. How can I, a great scholar, be slandered by a lowly businessman like you?"
Aunt Xiao and Yan Ru were furious, but they didn't dare to scold them. They could only stamp their feet angrily: "What a scoundrel! A scoundrel!"
When Ying Bao heard this person's accent, she couldn't help but squint her eyes, turned around and asked Aunt Xiao: "Auntie, can I see the registration book of their hotel?"
Aunt Xiao nodded, walked into the counter with Yingbao, took out the registration book and showed it to her. "Look, they registered at the end of April and didn't pay a penny. It's already the twelfth lunar month and they still haven't left."
Yingbao didn't pay attention to the date, but carefully checked their place of origin and age.
Both of them are native to Qinchuan County, but they live in different towns.
The information about one of them is very strange. He is only seventeen years old.
Ying Bao raised her head and looked carefully at the people sitting in the lobby. Why didn't any of them look like they were seventeen years old?
The youngest one, although his beard was shaved off and his face was covered with thick powder, it could not conceal his age of almost thirty years old.
In addition, this man's accent was from Zhouhe County, so Yingbao guessed that his identity was different.
He is probably a scholar who came to this county to take the exam under the false identity of someone else.
Yingbao closed the registration book, ran to the opposite side of the two of them, put her hands on her hips and said, "I advise you to leave quickly! Otherwise, I will go to the county government to sue you for taking someone else's household registration to take the exam!"
In fact, the scientific examination of occupancy occurs in every county, and it is not unusual at all, but it cannot be made public, otherwise it will be against the law.
These candidates are firstly because their families are poor and cannot afford to hire caterers from time to time. Second, they may be descendants of low-income people and cannot take the scientific examination, so they spend money to occupy other people's household registrations.
As for families with occupied registration, if within three generations there is a Linshan scholar or scholar, their descendants do not need to ask Linshan students as guarantees to participate in the scientific examination.
As long as other students buy the household registration of such a family and take the scientific examination by impersonating the name and household registration of their descendants, they can save a lot of money.
After all, not everyone can guarantee that they will pass the exam on the first try.
The two of them were startled, with unpredictable expressions on their faces.
Yingbao said again: "You must move out of the hotel as soon as possible tomorrow. If you still don't leave, I will go to the county government to sue you for pretending to use someone else's household registration!"
Then he pointed at the man with a Zhouhe County accent and said, "You are from Zhouhe County, right? You even pretended to have a household registration in Shilipu. I advise you to leave as soon as possible, otherwise... hum!"
The face of the man wearing powder turned even paler, and he stammered and quibbled: "You, you, you are talking nonsense! You are pretending...I, I am..."
Ying Bao didn't listen to his nagging, pulled Yan Ru and turned around to leave.
"Hey, hey, hey! Where are you going?" The man was anxious. He suddenly stood up and looked around. Seeing that there was no one else in the lobby, he quickly said: "Let's leave now! Let's leave now! Don't go..." Reporter .
After saying that, he picked up the corner of his robe and ran back to the guest room to start packing his things.
Ying Bao and Yan Ru looked at each other and stood waiting at the door of the inn.
These two people probably didn't come from a good background. When one of them saw his companion packing his things, he didn't dare to stay. He quickly packed his luggage and left, running faster than anyone else.
It's not that they don't have money, but they just want to eat and drink here for free. Sometimes they go to the shops to order food and drink, and they also keep the accounts on the inn's head, saying that they will be written off together.
Seeing that both of them were gone, Aunt Xiao breathed a sigh of relief and said to Ying Bao, "Thank you so much, Ying Bao."
The scoundrel didn't give him any money in the end, but this was the best result.
As a merchant, I would never dare to offend these scholars. After all, no one knows whether they will be admitted to the scholar examination or something and come back to take revenge on me.
Moreover, these scholars are staying in hotels and the government is supporting them to deal with the aftermath, which inadvertently causes trouble to the merchants.
Scholars with good character will certainly not do this, but those with bad character will take advantage of the merchants and make them suffer.
Yingbao also knew their concerns, so she didn't say anything and took Yanru home.
The next day, the Jiang family returned to their hometown with their purchases to prepare for the wedding.
Because Jiang Cheng's wedding must be held in the countryside.
That is, a sedan chair is sent from the hometown to welcome the bride to the hometown for the wedding. After the wedding is over, the couple returns to the county town to live.
Yingbao and Erni did not go back, so the two sisters lived in the backyard of the shop, while Jiang Cheng and Jiang Quan were still taking care of the shop.
Dani also wanted to stay for a few days, but her aunt wouldn't allow it, saying that she was engaged and couldn't let her mind wander.
Er Ni watched Dani board the carriage unhappily, and whispered to Ying Bao, "I must not get engaged early."
"Yeah!" Ying Bao nodded heavily: "It's true that you can't get engaged early, it's not free."
After the New Year, Erni will be eleven years old, and Dani will be fourteen. It is estimated that Dani will get married in a year or two.
She looked at Jiang Quan again.
The second cousin is also sixteen, almost as tall as the first cousin.
I saw him wearing a black gauze bun, a silk flower in his ear, a black cross-collar short robe, and a blue cloth belt around his waist, with seven things hanging on the belt, and a small money bag.
On his feet was a pair of brand-new moccasin boots. Although his face was not as fair and handsome as that of his cousin, he was still handsome and upright. His eyes were shrewd, and at first glance he was a smart and capable person.
Such a second cousin should be able to become a big businessman in the future.
Because he has a more flexible mind than his elder cousin, is more courageous, and is very good at making troubles.
In just over a year, he had already gotten to know many people from all walks of life in the county, and he became brothers with Detective Jin Wu and others, and they fought fiercely.
That's why Zhang Jia and his concubine's father and brother didn't dare to offend their aunt Jiang Yunniang, let alone have any bad intentions towards the specialty shop.
Jiang Quan turned around, met his little cousin's eyes, and said with a smile: "Why are you staring at me? Do you think your second brother Feng Shen is so handsome that no one can match him?"
Ying Bao nodded seriously and said, "You would be more handsome if you didn't smile."
Jiang Quan's face twitched and he said angrily: "I have to laugh!" He grinned into a square shape.
Yingbao and Erni:...
"Brother Jiang Quan..." A delicate female voice sounded. "Do you still have your chestnut cake?"
Jiang Quan immediately calmed down his expression and turned around to look over.
I saw two girls of fourteen or fifteen years old walking into the shop.
Jiang Quan immediately had a professional smile on his face, "There are still some more. I wonder how many boxes Ms. Pan wants?"
The girl in green looked at him shyly and raised a finger: "One box. My mother especially likes to eat your chestnut cake."
Jiang Quan took a box of chestnut cakes from the shelf and handed it over: "Chenghui, four hundred coins."
The girl in green paid the money and didn't carry the box. She just walked around the shop and glanced at the counting room from time to time.
Jiang Cheng was sitting in the accounting room, planning to settle accounts. He had no idea that someone was spying on him.
Ying Bao saw the truth, so she deliberately said to her second cousin: "Second brother, my first cousin is getting married in a while, how many gifts are you going to give me?"
Jiang Quan's eyes widened when he heard this: "Why should I follow the ceremony? Grandma said that people who are not married don't have to follow the ceremony."
