Chapter 6 There is a way to make money
"This guy wants to go to Qingyang College to study Chen Xiu!" Yuewei sighed extremely elegantly.
"What? Xuechenxiu? He has no foundation, how can he be selected? And...what about the money? Oh, my God, doesn't he know that Chen Xiu is a very expensive job?
"This is a very self-respecting guy. I can't persuade him." Yuewei shrugged his shoulders and said, "On the way, we have sold everything we can sell, and this is the only one left." She sighed faintly and took out a dark green square crystal from her arms.
Miss, are you going to sell this simple stone? No, I firmly disagree!" Xiuer shouted, "Most of the Shangguan family's heart refining methods are here, and they must not be sold. Otherwise, there is no hope for the revival of the Shangguan family! Moreover, this guy is not worthy of you at all!"
Xiaoxiuer lowered her voice: "He is no longer the son of a family, but a fool who knows nothing about the world at the age of 16! It's good for you to follow him and have a life of food and clothing. How can you save the master and wife? Are you willing to do it?"
Yue bit her lips slightly and didn't say anything for a while. Although her eyes were foggy, tears never fell.
"Alas, my father was too obsessed with refining, which delayed Chen Xiu, and I didn't have a chance to practice... However, my father once said that people can't be trustworthy. Since we have a marriage contract, I can't leave him!"
"Well, he just looks okay. If he is a crippled, blind and madman, do you still agree or disagree?"
"Dead girl, don't curse him, go to bed quickly!" Yue Wei patted Xiuer's face and turned to the bed.
"Alas..." Xiuer looked at Yuewei's eyes and was determined to be heartbroken, and her eyes could not help but be a little red.
In addition to the imperial capital Shangjing and Qingyang on the coast of the East China Sea, Qingchuan City is the third largest city of the Central Xia Empire, located by the Longyun River, with a large population and access in all directions. The main roads in the city are paved with blue strips of stone, which are very flat, with many shops, many hawkers, a variety of goods, and very developed commerce. Occasionally, people riding tigers and lions pass by, and people dodge one after another, which is the legendary practitioners. In the center of the city stands a majestic building with seven stories high, carved beams and painted buildings, which are majestic. It is the main government office of the city, and the front is a large square comparable to the * square.
"Have you found any way to make money after such a long time? There are only more than ten taels of sister Yuewei's silver left! The bucket asked you to buy a breakfast, but it actually cost a taels of silver!" The good impression accumulated by smashing bricks to Ximen Guang has basically disappeared, and it is easy to be ridiculed by sleeves all the way last week.
"Well, except for Chen Xiu, looking at the customs, it is not much different from the Ming and Qing Dynasties..."
Zhou Yi hummed and looked around. He only looked at the scenery of the alien world and didn't hear a word at all.
"Good! One more!"
A sound of play came from afar. Zhou Yi fixed his eyes and found that there was a large pavement in front of it, with a blue cloth cover and four big words embroidered with the words "Drunken Master's Restaurant".
"Where is the wine shop? Let's go and have a look!"
"Dine?" Xiuer looked at the lady in embarrassment and slowed down. The winery is a place where people and rough and wild men vent their fatigue for a day. There are food and drink in it. There are even some fireworks women singing with you upstairs. There are all-inclusive words, singing and gags, and whether there are martial arts fighting and a live broadcast.
On the way from Dijing to Qingchuan, Yuewei and Xiuer are both dressed as men. This kind of place is even more fearful. How dare they take a look at it?
"Let's not go there, shall we?" Yue Wei also had a wry smile on her face.
"It's okay. What are you afraid of? Let's go!" Zhou Yi was used to eating big stalls and thought it was a similar place. He didn't remember the different rules of the world at all, so he took two good girls into the restaurant.
In the restaurant hall, the atmosphere of wine was smoky, and the sound of punching was endless. More than 20 tables of naked men, hugged the laughing sister, and drank happily. In the middle, a very obscene storyteller, wearing a shabby gown, knocked hard on the table and talking hoarsely about the storytelling.
Yue Wei stepped into the hall door, and the sound in the restaurant immediately dined by half. She obviously felt that countless eyes fell on her face, and as her footsteps shifted, she was reluctant to move away.
Zhou Yi didn't pay attention to these at all. He didn't know who to say hello to, ordered a pot of wine and four dishes, and sat down in the corner with Yue Weixiu.
The two girls often live in the deep courtyard. They have never seen such a scene. Their bodies are almost frozen there, and their faces are so red that they are about to drip water.
Seeing such a beautiful woman coming in, the obscene storyteller was obviously excited: "...The little widow seems to be as pure as jade and cold, but you know what she thinks at night?"
"What do you think, say it, say it!"
"What can you think of, a man's guy..."
"Haha, that's it!"
As soon as I heard my favorite theme, there was a chaos in the restaurant. Some people even patted the table and urged the storyteller to speak down quickly.
"What is she thinking? The dead ghost who thinks of himself, since he married her, why did he die early? Since he died early, why did he let her taste the ecstasy? The taste, like silk, made her heart tremble, her bones were soft, and her flesh was numb. I really want to have the wild bee butterfly, gnawing under the heart of the flower..."
"Bah, ah, ah!"
Shou'er was shy and angry. She wanted to drag Zhou Yi, who shook his head, and slap her twice. Then she looked at her young lady and buried her head deeply. She didn't listen to the scene in front of her, but the rouge-like cheek exposed her embarrassment and helplessness.
"Okay, okay!"
The crowd shouted again.
"I want to explain the psychology of the little widow, or this jade-faced scholar. He quietly got up in the middle of the night, smeared his face with mud, and followed the ladder to the next door. The cat leaned to the window and saw the little widow leaning against the bed. Her temples were slightly messy, her breasts were half exposed, and she was sighing alone. When the jade-faced scholar arrived, it was really thundering and causing fire. Let's talk about whether this little widow's chastity can be preserved - let's continue next time.
"Fuck, why did you stop?"
"Hurry up, hurry up!"
When the storyteller came down, everyone was extremely dissatisfied and shouted.
After the storyteller finished speaking, he wanted to take a sip of water. Just past Zhou Yi, he grabbed his neck and pulled him and took him to his seat.
"This prince is polite and polite..." As soon as he arrived at Zhou Yi's side, the storyteller immediately felt fragrant and quiet. When he looked up again, the two beauties were in front of him and couldn't help crying excitedly.
Zhou Yi stuffed a piece of broken silver into the hand of Mr. storyteller, and then asked with a smile, "I said, how many paragraphs do you have in this book?"
The storyteller's eyes lit up and said, "There are two similar paragraphs. Uncle, if you like to listen, as long as the price is right, I can tell you separately.
"Go, who wants to listen to such a dirty thing!" Xiuer scolded.
Seeing Xiuer's coquettish appearance, the storyteller looked stunned and hurriedly said, "Yes, yes!" But he curled his lips and said, "How can there be a good woman who can come here? You girl is just pretending to be innocent to please this prince..."
"Are there many people who like to listen to this book?" Zhou Yi asked.
After listening to the joke just now, he had an idea and had already thought of a way to make money.
Although I don't understand why the prince asked this question, the storyteller still dared not neglect: "There are many, how can there be less. Not only do these mountain villagers like to listen, but also those noble brothers and practitioners secretly find young people to talk about it. And those who are literate also ask the small ones to write down and buy them with a lot of money!"
"Oh? What are the more famous books circulating? Can I have a look?"
"This..." The storyteller looked embarrassed, but with another silver coin, he immediately nodded like pounding garlic, "Yes! Yes!"
With that, he took out two oily books from his arms. On the simple cover, one wrote "Ask the Flowers" and the other with "Jade Cage", with two poor strokes of chungong paintings.
As soon as she saw these two books, Yuewei couldn't help it anymore. She suddenly stood up, and her eyebrows were full of anger, "Zhou... Mr., my maidservant is a little uncomfortable. Let's leave first!" With that, he wanted to leave.
"Don't worry, don't worry." Zhou Yi blinked slightly to Yue, pressed her slightly trembling hand, pulled her back to her seat, and then turned over a few pages casually.
Looking at Zhou Yi's disdainful appearance, the storyteller smiled bitterly, "This gentleman, even if it is a big restaurant, there is no good joke. What is circulating in the world is still a little widow, talented and beautiful, in fact, everyone likes to watch..."
"Everyone likes to read all about familiar scenes, preferably those mysterious large families, preferably young ladies fall in love with domestic servants, one man against two women."
"The son is talented, the son is talented!"
"I dare not do it, I dare not do it!"
After listening to the conversation between the two people, Xiuer was so angry that he didn't vomit blood.
"What's your last name, sir?"
"My surname is Xue, you just need to call me Xue San. I don't know..."
"I have a big deal to give you," Zhou Yi pulled Xue San and put his ear to his mouth. "A good book with illustrations, the content is the wild history of the Ximen family. Do you want it?"
