Fortunately, I wore thicker clothes in this winter, so I felt better when I was beaten before, and there were no injuries on Zhang Su’s face, so there was no need to worry about being seen by his family.
Seeing that Zhang Su’s footsteps became much brisker, he sped up and left. The two gambling thugs following him also looked at each other.
“This guy looked so wretched just now. How could he suddenly become energetic now? Is he going to report the case to Secretary Dazhen?”
“No, no, it’s not in that direction. I should go home to raise money. Besides, Dazhen’s laws also prohibit gambling houses. Zhang led his people and gained the stolen goods. Many people can testify. Even if you sue, you won’t win.”
The other person nodded.
“Then you should really go home. After all, the Zhang family is in a decent financial situation. In order to save your son, you should be willing to give up a hundred taels.”
“You’ll know if you follow him and see. I’m sorry he can’t play any tricks.”
The two of them kept up at a suitable distance from behind, and Zhang Sue’s footsteps became faster and faster. He knew that there was someone behind him, so he just followed, he couldn’t get away.
Not long after, he returned to the door of his house, rubbed his bruised legs, and then walked into the yard pretending that nothing happened.
“Hey, what have you been doing all day? I can’t even see you. I didn’t know how to clean and dust the house before the New Year. I’ll have dinner later.”
The old mother in the family, who was almost seventy years old, was still in good health and had dark hair. When she saw her youngest son running back, she scolded him, but the latter just replied hastily, “I know,” and ran quickly to his house.
“This child, the boss is not very good now. Which girl would be willing to marry him, hey!”
Mother Zhang muttered and sighed, but she didn’t think her younger son was that bad. After all, her son didn’t have any girls willing to marry.
Zhang Sui hurriedly walked to his house. After opening the door, he looked around on the ground and soon found the folded word “福” in the corner. At this moment, the word “福” was still wrinkled.
Zhang Sui was overjoyed. As long as he sold the word “福”, he would be rich. He took a few steps over and was about to reach out to pick it up, but he accidentally kicked the foot of a stool beside the table in the room.
“Bang…” “Ouch!”
Zhang Li lost his balance and fell. The wind caused by him lying on the ground accidentally blew the word “福” under the bed.
“Hiss… Ouch, you are so unlucky that you even fall down when walking on flat ground. This **** word…”
Zhang Sui looked under the bed. It was a little dark inside and he couldn’t see clearly. He removed the footboard in front of the bed and groped inside, but couldn’t find the “Fu” despite a lot of dust.
“Damn it.”
After cursing, Zhang Sui stood up, found a broom, then reached under the bed and swept it. After a while, he finally brought out the word “福”.
Zhang Su, who picked up the word “福”, had it all over his body and kept patting it, but he didn’t notice that the word “福” in his hand was not stained with any dust, and he thought he had shaken it off.
At this moment, Zhang Sue’s mother also walked to the front of his house. As soon as she reached the door, the dust was choking her nose.
“Ahem…son, what are you doing? How can you make a house full of dust?”
“Uh, Mom, didn’t you say you wanted to clean it? I’m dusting…”
“Ahem, cough, cough… Are you dusting like this? I don’t know what you are messing around with all day long. Come out, wash up and eat.”
The mother scolded her, turned around and left first.
“Hey, come right away, come right away.”
Zhang Sui put the word “福” into his arms again with a guilty conscience, and then went out to clean up.
At home, his father and elder brother were away, and his sister had already married. Only Zhang Su, his sister and mother were left. Zhang Su seemed a little guilty during the meal. He was usually talkative. He just picked up vegetables for dinner today and had no words. A few words.
After finishing eating, Zhang Sui hurriedly left the table and returned to the room where the dust had just fallen. He covered his chest with one hand and lay on the bed feeling a little upset.
During this period, Zhang Su’s mother came into the house with a mop and helped Zhang Su sweep the dust in the house and mop it to the floor. Zhang Su rarely helped clean up together. After his mother left, he became even more upset. .
It was getting dark, but Zhang Sue had never been sleepy. He was lying on the bed and thinking wildly. He even considered the possibility of telling his mother everything, but after thinking about the consequences, he couldn’t help but shudder and gave up.
‘I’ll go to the market early tomorrow morning to set up a stall. It’s best if the sergeant from Dazhen can come…’
The next day, Zhang Li got up early. After breakfast, he picked up a pole and a basket, and hurried outside with his remaining personal money.
Before leaving the courtyard, I tripped over the threshold of the courtyard gate and fell flat on my face. The thick winter clothes made me feel sore for a while.
Zhang Su did not go directly to the market. Like many times in the past, he went to Uncle Yu, who was a close friend of his father, and bought a batch of jewelry, combs and other items at a low price before carrying baskets to the market. Walk.
Choose an empty corner of the market, Zhang Sui arranged the baskets, spread out the word “福”, and started shouting loudly.
……
Chen Shou has not come today yet, because Zhang Shu said that he would not show up until noon at the earliest, and maybe in the afternoon later. But it is not long after dawn, and the market is full of vendors rushing to get there early. There isn’t much passenger traffic.
Zhang Su shouted loudly, and soon discovered that there were not many guests coming and going, which was a waste of emotion, so he could only wait, and shout from time to time to prevent missing people.
However, Chen Shou didn’t come, but Qi Yuantian came today. He didn’t have any strong purpose. He just wanted to go out for a walk and buy something on the way. He had been staying in the military camp for a long time.
Looking around all the way, Qi Yuantian kept a smile on his face. Of course, the market in Haiping City was far worse than the Gyeonggi Prefecture he remembered, but it also had its own characteristics. One of them was that it was extremely Plenty of seafood.
“Come and see, fresh conger eels.” “There are good crabs here, all alive!”
“Sea bass, sea bass, fifteen pounds of fresh sea bass~~” “Tiger fish, you’ll get milk after eating it~~~”
Those big fish, prawns, and crabs were packed in wooden boxes with seawater. Some were dead, and some were still alive and kicking. It was particularly strange for people like Qi Yuantian who had never seen the sea before.
When Qi Yuantian walked by, the people at the stalls were shouting harder. This was not only because Qi Yuantian looked like a scholar at first glance, but the bigger reason was that this scholar had a sword on his waist and had such a scholar’s face. With such a curious look on his face, there is a high probability that there is only one possibility: this person is a scholar from Dazhen.
“Sell the word “福”, it’s a work of a famous artist, it has been blessed by an expert, please go home and have good luck in the coming year, all you need is ten taels of gold~~~~”
Not far away, Zhang Sui also shouted, attracting Qi Yuantian’s attention. How dare he ask for ten taels when selling the word “福”? Could it be that the calligraphers wrote “Blessed Blessing Stickers” or something like that, with the word “福” written in a hundred different styles?
Of course scholars are interested in such things, and Qi Yuantian was no exception. He followed the sound and found that there were two or three people at Zhang Sui’s booth looking at something, but they were only looking at the hairpins and combs on the ground.
Qi Yuantian walked closer, and when he glanced a little further away, he saw that it was just a big square blessing, the kind posted on the door. His interest suddenly dropped, and he smiled as he walked.
“As a stall owner, your price is too bluffing. You dare to ask for ten taels of gold for the word “福”, which is too much…”
The word “wishful thinking” could not come out of Qi Yuantian’s mouth. When he saw the word “福” in the distance, he was stunned.
“That’s right, this guy is crazy about money. He has come here to sell before.” “Yeah, no one takes him seriously hahaha…”
“Go, what do you know? Of course someone will buy it.”
As Zhang Sui said this, he looked up and saw that the scholar who came was looking blankly at the words on the stall, and he immediately laughed.
“How about this, is this character written well?”
Qi Yuantian looked away from the words with difficulty, looked at Zhang Su and nodded.
“It’s more than good…this word…this word is simply…”
Qi Yuantian did not continue speaking. Although buying a word for ten taels of gold was a bit ridiculous, and the word had no signature at all, there was an indescribable feeling about this word.
“Where did this word come from? Who wrote it? Are there other calligraphy and paintings?”
Zhang Sui became more energetic now. The scholar in front of him, who was obviously Dazhen, actually seemed to be really interested in this word. Did he want to buy it?
‘Do the people of Dazhen really think differently? ’
Throwing away the thoughts in his mind, Zhang Sui said quickly.
“When my father was young, he wrote it by an expert. Let me tell you, this word is very mysterious. The ink has been as good as new after so many years. I only have this one in my house. How can there be more? Twelve The price is definitely not an exaggeration. If you really want to buy it, I can make it a little cheaper…”
Zhang Sui used the same rhetoric again, but Qi Yuantian had already begun to calculate his own money and asked casually.
“How much cheaper?”
Zhang Shu was slightly startled when he heard this.
“Do you really want to buy it? Uh, ahem, I mean, if you really want to buy it, I think you should be a scholar from Dazhen. I always admire you the most for men who go to war with swords. If you want to buy it, Nine taels of gold, nine taels of gold, I’ll sell it to you, it’s a full discount of one tael of gold!”
“Nine taels, nine taels…”
Qi Yuantian silently calculated in his heart, gritted his teeth and took out the money bag from his arms.
“There are about twelve taels of silver, forty taels of gold, and a hundred and ten copper coins in it. I still have Dazhen’s official salary certificate that I haven’t received. There are fifty taels of silver. The total price may be less than nine taels of gold. A little, but not too much. If you are willing, come with me to the nearest clerk’s office now, and you should be able to exchange it there!”
Zhang Sui stood up immediately, took Qi Yuantian’s money bag and grabbed a handful inside. Feeling the touch of the gold, silver and copper coins inside, he even took out a gold ingot and bit it hard, feeling excited. More and more excited.
“You can’t go back on your word! Uh, I mean, it’s settled! Close the stall, close the stall, let’s leave now!”
These Dazhen scholars are quite trustworthy, and now they have a heavy bag of money in their hands.
Qi Yuantian and Zhang Shu, both with excitement on their faces, went to the place where the secretary was sitting, which was actually the original Yamen. The two people who had been following Zhang Shu felt a little uneasy when Qi Yuantian appeared. After that, I didn’t dare to get too close, but I still knew that they had entered the Yamen.
“What to do? They’re in!” “Wait a minute, they are scholars from Dazhen. They are probably serving in the army and cannot be offended…”
Qi Yuantian is a member of the military. After showing his waist card, he walked without any hindrance and exchanged it for silver very smoothly. At the location of the yamen warehouse, after checking the authenticity of the official ticket, the clerk personally transferred five 10-tael silver ingots. Leave it to Qi Yuantian. You must know that Qi Yuantian can be regarded as the secretary’s immediate boss.
“Mr. Qi, your money.”
“Okay, thank you.”
Qi Yuantian thanked him and walked out of the warehouse, and then directly handed the unheated silver to Zhang Sui, who was waiting eagerly. The latter took the silver and was very happy.
“Hahahaha, I can’t die now!”
“Huh? Zhang Su, are you selling words to save lives?”
Qi Yuantian asked curiously while unfolding the word “福”. Strangely enough, the paper was not wrinkled at all at this moment.
“Hey, gambling went wrong. I thought I was lucky and good at cards, but I was tricked. They said I was cheating and I owed a huge debt of 100 taels. Hey, now I have raised money. They You should be able to let me go…”
“What? Designed to harm you?”
Qi Yuantian raised his eyebrows and looked at Zhang Sue seriously.
“Are you serious? You really didn’t do anything, and it was really they who harmed you?”
Zhang Sui was startled. Why did the scholar next to him suddenly become fierce?
“I, everything is true… I just learned the horse tag not long ago, and I am a local commoner. I can run away from the monks but not the temple. How can I dare to make a fortune in a gambling shop or find a bookstore www.zhaｏｈｈｕｕ. comAren’t you looking for death?”
Qi Yuantian nodded.
“That makes sense, huh, you dare to violate my laws of chastity, this gambling shop is too rampant, you are looking for death!”
Zhengchou couldn’t find a way to establish his authority and win the hearts of the people in the Haiping City area. This was just coming to his doorstep. With such an angry remark, he suddenly thought of something.
“Uh, by the way, Brother Zhang, in my purse… I still have two one-penny coins, which are of great significance to me. They were gifts from my elders. I was in a hurry to buy some words and didn’t take them out in my excitement. Look. It’s inconvenient…”
“Hey, it’s only two cents. If you have any kind words, Mr. Qi can find it himself.”
Zhang Su opened the money bag directly and generously.
Qi Yuantian was overjoyed and hurriedly rummaged around. He saw the two special copper coins at a glance and took them out.
“Just these two, okay, okay, it’s okay!”
Qi Yuan only got these two coins, that is, he rubbed the word “福” in his hand. He felt that the word “福” was a little loose and almost fell off, so he tightened it, but the copper coins in his hand were loose.
Huh…huh…
A cold wind blew by, and the copper coin in his hand was about to fall. Qi Yuantian subconsciously grabbed it with both hands and grabbed the copper coin, but the word “Fu” in his hand fell off and was blown up by the wind.
Huh…wu…wu…
The cold wind suddenly became stronger, and instead of falling to the ground, the word “Fu” rose with the wind.
“My words! My words!”
Qi Yuantian was so anxious that he chased and shouted when he saw the word “福” unfolding in the wind, rising directly into the sky with the wind…
……
Thousands of mountains and rivers away, in the guest house inside the body of the Sky-Swallowing Beast, Ji Yuan paused slightly with his hand holding the pen, raised the corner of his mouth, and then continued writing.
“Hey…”
……
