That was the official story, but in reality, Fang Yue just wanted to save some silver coins.
He didn't have much money on him, and he needed to stay in Xiahe County Town for about two months. He had no way of earning a living here, so he had to be frugal.
Therefore, renting a woodshed was a good option. It came with daily meals, and the rent was cheap.
However, when some of the surrounding diners heard that Fang Yue had passed the Martial Scholar examination last year and was now a Martial Scholar entitled to 300 mu of tax-exempt land, things changed.
This was Xiahe County Town, after all. People who could afford to eat in a restaurant weren't going to be overly intimidated by a mere Martial Scholar.
