Just like Xiaomi observed, once you get familiar, Xiaocao is very warm-hearted.
She only asked the first question, and Xiaocao explained everything in detail, leaving nothing out.
It turns out that entering the city requires a ticket fee, one copper coin per person, in exchange for a pass to enter and exit the city.
And people from the city also have separate proof that they need to return to the guard when going back.
If it's a wealthy family with a horse-drawn carriage, generally they only need one proof, and the checks aren't particularly thorough.
After all, wealthy families living in the city pay no small amount of taxes each year, so they don't mind the one or two copper coins for entering and exiting the city gate.
Don't be fooled by Xiaocao's young age; she's already familiar with these procedures from frequently going to the city to buy groceries with her mother.
As for the news about wealthy families, they were overheard from passersby at the market.
