On the fifteenth day of the second lunar month in winter, Jindou Inn in Zhouzhong County
"Why isn't this child talking?" Zhang Erhan wandered around Niu Qing, who had accepted that he had become an orphan. Since he returned to the county government office the day before yesterday, Fang Luochen had accompanied Niu Qing into the government office. He didn't hear anything he said until it got dark. Seeing that Fang Luochen was still stranded in the county office, Wu Captou asked him to come back. This morning, Niu Qing was brought back by Wu Captou again and told everyone that they could Continuing on their way, the Qingshui Village massacre case had nothing to do with anyone, but Niu Qing, the kid, had never spoken since morning, which gave Zhang Erhan a big headache.
According to Wu Baotou, Niu Qing should be eight or nine years old. The reason why Wu Baotou recognized a child from the village under his jurisdiction was because Niu Qing had a double pupil in his right eye. According to folklore, double pupil is a born noble person, and he will definitely have it when he grows up. A great achievement, but Niu Qing was born and his mother died in childbirth. Niu Qing’s father was a coachman in Qingshui Village, and he raised his son alone. There were some rumors about Niu Qing, saying that Niu Qing killed his mother. After entering private school at the age of five, Niu Qing was often bullied by the students, but the teacher took care of him in every possible way. Niu Qing was talented and willing to endure hardships, so he excelled in the school, which made his father proud. But due to an unfortunate fate, something unexpected happened, and Niu Qing became completely an orphan at this time. If it hadn't been for the fishing thieves, he would have died of freezing in Qingshui Village and gone with his parents.
"Don't be an eyesore here. Go out and think about how to support me as an apprentice. Your examination documents are in this kid's hands." Fang Luochen looked outside with narrow eyes. Zhang Erhan let out a laugh but went out obediently. , he also came from a poor background, and this big exam was the best chance to turn around, but he also had very little money. He touched his big head and squatted down leaning against the door, with a sad look on his face.
It was noon, and everyone decided to let Niu Qing rest for a while, and agreed to set off the next day. Cui Wenhai and Si Longjun were both studying in their rooms, while Mu Mu stayed in the hall and was the only one to go out. It was Han Buyao. She didn't come back until noon with the medicine bag. Fang Luochen took the medicine bag with a happy face, smelled it and nodded to express his satisfaction. Naturally, he wanted to prepare the medicinal materials for his apprentice. Although Niu Qing The basics are okay, but he has been ruined by being in the haystack for so many days. He should have rested, but the road was bumpy. As a master, he can only worry more. As for the cost of buying medicine, naturally It will fall on Zhang Erhan.
Originally, Niu Qing was supposed to call Fang Luochen senior when he accepted a disciple as his master, but the boy just shook his head. In the end, Fang Luochen accepted Niu Qing as his apprentice, and Niu Qing just nodded and shook his head. Where is the examination document? Only he and Diao Thief knew about it, and it was probably still in Diao Thief's hands.
Fang Luochen kicked Zhang Erhan to tell him to look after the child, while he borrowed the inn's stove to boil medicine for his apprentice. Han Buyao sat next to Mu Mu when he had nothing to do, and Mu Mu poured her a cup of tea and said He said nothing and stopped talking. At this moment, Han Buyao still disguised himself as a mountain village woman, but the agility in his eyes could not be concealed occasionally. He warmed his hands with a tea cup, blew on the tea and let out a comfortable breath. Then he turned around and asked, "Tell me, is this fishing thief still staring at us?"
Mu Mu put down his teacup and thought for a while, shaking his head and saying, "I can't say for sure. He is so good at Qinggong that we are the only ones who can't catch him. It's a good thing he doesn't have any ill intentions towards us. Otherwise, would he be able to get out?" In this county, thousands of sects... are not even included in the ten sects. There are three sects, six sects and ten sects..." Before he finished speaking, Mu Mu sighed, while Han Buyao tilted his head and looked at this appearance. The unspectacular "husband" poured Mu Mu a cup of tea without saying a word, and patted the back of Mu Mu's hand to indicate that he was there.
"The world is like this. There are experts like clouds and novices like bamboo shoots. They act according to the opportunity and get away with it." After saying this, Han Bu shook his eyes and went back to the house with a smile. Mu Mu smiled calmly and drank slowly. Tea, looking around, he heard several escorts discussing the murder case in the hanging forest. The noise in the hall prevented Mu Mu from hearing everything clearly. He could only infer from a few words that this lacquerware merchant named Zhou Bu It should be that he got some kind of treasure or treasure map. Huaibi was convicted of his crime and his family was wiped out. I heard that someone from Bianyuan Tower has intervened in this case. If there is really any treasure, it will eventually be captured by Bianyuan Tower.
Biuanlou's actions can neither be said to be high-profile nor low-key. His wings are spread all over the world. It is not too surprising to meet him in Zhouzhong County. Thinking of this, Mu Mu suddenly had a guess. Could this fishing robber be a member of Biuanlou? ?
Thinking that he would leave Zhouzhong County tomorrow, Mu Mu began to plan the next journey. The Yuyu Dynasty had a vast territory. After the implementation of the county system, there were ninety-six counties and more than a thousand counties. Although the group traveled It hasn't been long, but they still haven't left Sesshu South County, and this South County is not considered the frontier of the Yuyu Dynasty. Calculating, they still have to pass through twelve counties. As for the number of counties they have to pass, I am afraid it will be over a hundred, and the journey is indescribable. It's not that far away, and then think about the students from all over the world gathered in Yuyu Royal City. The number of people is probably hundreds of thousands. The size of the royal city is naturally unimaginable. Then think about the vastness of Yuyu's land, and there is an almost infinite. Cognition.
"Well, I have just left home and encountered so many things. The road ahead will be difficult. How about you continue, and I will go back and continue to be a doctor?" While Mu Mu was still thinking about the route, Fang Luochen had already asked Niu Qing After taking the medicine and sitting across from him, Mu Mu said leisurely after listening to this person's words: "I don't mind, but I don't know what Brother Hai is like."
"I'm not as threatening as you. Although I've never seen Brother Hai take action, what do you think they can do to me with my general skills? It's just a matter of saving face." Fang Luochen tried to show off, but in the end The tone of his words still weakened. Mu Mu smiled and said nothing. He just poured a cup of tea for the doctor opposite. Fang Luochen's face was proud at first and then fell down. Mu Mu looked at it and found that his sleeves were thicker than usual. Be relaxed and couldn't help but joke: "I give it to you at such a young age. What if you grow up to be a white-eyed wolf?"
The thing naturally refers to the mechanism on Fang Luochen's arm that can shoot silver needles. Mu Mu had encountered this thing when he first met Fang Luochen. To say that close-range self-defense is indeed the best choice, but Mu Mu was very surprised. Why would Fang Luochen be so generous? Niu Qing had only met Fang Luochen three times and only spent half a day together. Could it be that Niu Qing was really a medical genius? But how could Fang Luochen tell if this child didn't speak? of?
The two chatted for a while and then went back to their houses. They spent the night without talking until the next day.
Zhang Erhan got up early, occupied a table and ordered a meal. After everyone ate, they left the county town. Niu Qing was placed in the carriage, Mu Mu rode in front, Han Buyao and Zhang Erhan followed behind the carriage, and when they passed the fork, No one said anything, and asked Niu Qing to get out of the car and kowtow in the direction of Qingshui Village. Niu Qing's father died in Qingshui Village, so Qingshui Village naturally became a burial place, and the coffins and tombs were all filled with black heads. So Fang Luochen told Niu Qing to remember this kindness and repay his kindness if he achieves anything in the future. After Niu Qing kowtowed, everyone continued eastward and slept in the open for two days before finally arriving at Zhouzhong County and Linzhou County. It is the junction of Sichuan County and Sichuan County.
The days in winter are always very short. Seeing that it was getting late and there was an inn in the distance, Mu Mu asked everyone to hurry up and get to the inn early so as to get a good position. There were official inns on the official roads of the Yuyu Dynasty. Except for the manager of the post house, the rest are not part of the establishment, that is, they are long-term workers. The purpose of the post house is mainly to deliver military reports, but half of them can be opened to live in. It just requires some money, the environment is worse than that of an inn, and the accommodation fee is generally not much. This is almost the only income of the post house besides the county government's monthly money, because the stay is linked to the salary, so most of the post houses Not as bad as imagined.
When they arrived at the post house, they asked about the price, which was charged per head. It was ten copper coins per person, and Mu Mu gave him seventy copper coins. The man took the money, took the horses, and led everyone into the compound in a familiar manner, facing the gate. It is a two-story wooden building. The east and west wing rooms are about ten steps long. The east wing room is connected to the main room. There is a gap between the west wing room and the main room. Going inside should be the stables and toilets. According to the rules, the east wing room must be The postman stayed behind, and now the lamp is lit. The lights elsewhere are bright, and only the east wing is dark and silent. There are people talking in the west wing. Most of them should be traveling businessmen. They enter the main building. There are not many empty seats. Come on. Most of the people staying in the hotel are young people, many of whom are dressed as scholars, and some are tall and round. It seems that this room should be full of candidates taking the college entrance examination. Seeing everyone coming in, a few scholars near the door just raised their heads and nodded. For etiquette, it was more about eating the meals provided by the inn. It was already dark and it was dinner time.
But seeing that the food they ate was just pickled wild vegetables and porridge, but these people ate it with gusto, Han Bu couldn't help but shake his head, can this be enough?
The seven of them occupied two tables. When the people from the post house brought the food to them, Mu Mu found that there was meat in his food. The vegetables were fried and there was some minced meat. He turned around and was about to ask, but he heard The person who served the food said that if you pay enough for the accommodation fee, you can get some meat. Then everyone realized that they didn't have to pay ten cents to stay in the inn, but their specialness immediately attracted a lot of attention. Of course, the most common sound was the sound of Adam's apple swallowing, but they also knew that poor candidates like them could never afford to offend someone who could afford a guard, so they just watched for a while and everyone continued their own affairs.
"According to the law, candidates taking the major examination can stay in the post house, but why can the merchants in the west wing also come in?" The person who asked the question was Si Longjun. Mu Mu sneered and said nothing, but Cui Wenhai pointed to the porridge in Si Longjun's hand. Said: "You can eat meaty dishes because they paid for it. In the Taiping years, the post house was not very useful, but the necessary preparations were still necessary. Horses' food and accommodation did not require money. Maintenance, if there are officials moving in now, we have to let them out. No matter how much money is spent, it will be in vain. The people in the post house also have to make a living, so they will naturally find ways to make more money."
"Then this is not for public and private use?" Si Longjun still asked without giving up. Cui Wenhai continued to shake his head and explain with a smile: "It doesn't count, it doesn't count. It's hard to define this kind of thing. It can be big or small, as long as Without delaying the transmission of normal information, most of the county offices in charge will not ask too much. The barren mountains and wild mountains are already harsh. If you can live a better life, who wants to live a worse life?" After saying that, Si Longjun wanted to ask again and asked slightly. Shaking his head and making a silent gesture, Mu Mu looked around for a week and asked the person who delivered the food in the post house where he could stay. When he learned that there was only one room left, he stopped talking. There was nothing to choose from at this time, so he just whispered After telling him to take good care of the horses, he stopped talking.
After everyone finished eating, some went into the house, while others slept on the spot. It was the middle of winter, and it was a barren mountain. It was considered lucky to have a shelter from the wind. Therefore, when the lights were turned off in the post house, the whole post house was empty. Outside of the wind, it was difficult to hear any movement. The full moon hung on the branches, and the branches did not move. A black shadow suddenly fell outside the inn. When they arrived next to Mu Mu and his carriage, they were about to lean down when they heard the sound of wind. The black shadow The body paused slightly, and in a blink of an eye, there was already a person standing in front of him.
He has thick eyebrows and narrow eyes, a high nose, sideburns, an animal skin robe, a hatchet in his left hand, and a short bow on his waist. He is none other than Mu Mu!
Others were sleeping, but he didn't sleep. He even expected that someone would visit tonight, so he entered the house early, climbed out the window when the lights were turned off, and hid in a tree outside the inn, waiting until the moon rose. Until someone actually came.
"Good boy, you are very patient. I hid for half the night, but I didn't find you." The shadow was not tall, with his chest hunched over less than five feet. He was dressed in black night clothes, with a mask on his face, and his voice was slightly shrill. Only the three claws on his hands glowed with cold light. He followed him all the way, confident that he would not be discovered with his lightness. He was very confident about this, but the young man in front of him seemed to have expected it. He had been dormant for such a long time. After all, I met myself.
As for catching him, this kid probably doesn't have that ability yet. The distance between the two of them is more than ten steps. If he wants to leave, no one can stop him.
"You are Senior Diao Pi?" Mu Mu really couldn't see anything. Seeing that the other party spoke first, he asked softly. It was not windy at night, so there was no need to worry about the other party not being able to hear. Diao Dao nodded slightly and asked with narrowed eyes: "How do you do? Did you guess that I would come tonight?" I didn't find this kid so smart along the way. Mu Mu raised his hands and replied: "Senior holding Zhang Erhan's examination certificate is like a piece of paper. Niu Qing has been resettled, and senior can be regarded as a gift. The classmate has avenged himself, so the test documents will naturally have to be sent back. The senior is very skilled in martial arts, but the officials in Zhouzhong County cannot catch the senior, but they cannot escape the confrontation between officials and thieves. Today, the boy came here to gamble, and he is very lucky. Senior is here."
"You know that I come from a thousand families, yet I dare to speak provocatively. It's a bit brave. This document..." Before he finished speaking, he didn't see any movement in his hand, but there was an extra piece of paper folded in half. Mu Mu took a closer look. Squinting, his movements froze slightly, then he tilted his head and asked, "Senior, are you trying to amuse me?" After saying that, he raised his sword and put it on his right arm. The hatchet in Mu Mu's hand had a flat tip. , two punches longer than the ordinary hook-head hatchet with an ordinary reverse blade, an ordinary ironwood handle, and a long and narrow blade. Under the full moon, it can be considered cold.
The fishing thief was stunned and asked: "Why are you saying that I am entertaining you and you are still trying to test me, but you are not afraid that I will destroy this document?"
"Senior, to be honest, the martial arts test documents of that bastard Zhang Erhan are different in size from the literary test documents. What you are holding in your hands must be fake!" Mu Mu did not dare to act easily and could only be on full alert. Seeing the fishing thief today was already It's not easy. If a conflict really breaks out, Zhang Erhan's documents may not come back at all, and they will have to take a detour. Not having such an unexpected thing is the best option.
The fishing robber opposite him froze slightly when he heard this, and couldn't help but look at the document. This document was of course genuine, but the one that wasn't Zhang Erhan's was also genuine. The boy opposite didn't look like he was faking it. He sighed in his heart and shook the document in his hand and said: "Boy, you have a careful eye and a careful heart. This document is definitely true, but it is not that silly one. Since you have seen through it, there is a person named Qi... Wenyuan in it. "? You return it to him tomorrow morning and tell him that this is just a small punishment, so that he can calm down." After speaking, his hand shook, and the document shot towards Mu Mu like an arrow from the string. Mu Mu was surprised when he heard this. He stepped back violently, and the document was filled with inner energy. He immediately caught it, fearing that he would be injured. But when he took three or four steps back to receive the document, there was still a fishing robber on the opposite side, and only the lingering sound was left in the wilderness. .
"Punch that fool twice in the eyes, and someone will tell you."
After hearing this, Mu Mu looked at the documents in his hand, and then quietly returned to the post house room. No more accidents happened in the second half of the night. The next morning, everyone came out of the house and went to the post house courtyard, preparing to line up to light a fire and cook. However, Zhang Erhan went straight to the carriage at the entrance of the post house with two black and red eyes. After groping for a long time, he finally found the examination document that he had been longing for in the mezzanine of the roof.
"Apprentice, so if Zhang Erhan doesn't get beaten, you won't say anything?" Fang Luochen looked at Zhang Erhan who was laughing and dancing like a fool in the courtyard, then looked down at his apprentice and asked, Niu Qing nodded and used his The still childish voice replied: "This is the order of the gods. The disciples dare not disobey it, otherwise they will not be able to take revenge." After hearing this, Fang Luochen let out a laugh and rubbed Niu Qing's head and asked: "What about the gods?" What else did you say?"
"Follow senior brother, no, you are the master now. If you follow the master, you can get revenge!" After saying this, Niu Qing's eyes ignited a trace of revenge, and his expression became a little gloomy. Fang Luochen saw this and patted his apprentice on the back. He just said yes and asked him to help Si Longjun cut firewood outside the courtyard. Cui Wenhai took Mu Mu in the courtyard to ask who was Qi Wenyuan, but the real owner had just come back holding a dead branch. Qi Wenyuan was tall and thin, with a head Wearing a light blue scarf and a light gray cotton-padded jacket, he has a slender face, narrow eyes, splayed eyebrows, a flat nose and a narrow mouth, and his face is slightly pale. When he sees someone asking him, his eyebrows stand up, and his face Duixiao hurriedly said that he was the one.
Mu Mu didn't waste any time and just said what he wanted to convey to the thief with the examination document. Qi Wenyuan bowed excitedly to thank him, carefully took the document and opened it for confirmation. The joy on his face could no longer be suppressed, and his body began to tremble slightly. Trembling, without taking a moment to calm down, he breathed a sigh of relief and bowed deeply to the two of them. Cui Wenhai returned to his people with a somewhat curious Mu Mu. As for why Qi Wenyuan was punished by the fishing robbers, that was not what they should care about. of.
Since the documents had been recovered, everyone did not need to take a detour, and passed through the three counties of southern Sichuan, Wuding, and Hongzhong. They walked for more than ten days. Apart from many merchants and candidates who were going to the royal city, they saw no one along the way. The big incident didn't happen until the morning of the second day after leaving Hongzhong County, which was the ninth day of the second lunar month in winter. When I walked to an official road near Shuangxi Village, I was stopped by several villagers.
Mu Mu saw that the villagers were all beaming with joy and apparently had no weapons, so he dismounted and asked. Only then did he learn that someone was getting married in Shuangxi Village, which was only one mile away from the official road. They were invited to have a wedding banquet.
Cui Wenhai originally planned not to go when he heard that, but Fang Luochen saw that the sun was not far from noon, so he clamored to take Niu Qing with him. He could also have something good to eat before setting off, but he had just entered Chakou Fangluo. Chen felt a little regretful, because he heard Si Longjun say that most of these blocked weddings require gifts, and wedding banquets are not free of charge. But Fang Luochen thought that he, his precious disciple, should live in the open for more than ten days. Bubu turned his belt and saw a goose-yellow porcelain vase. He took out the needle bag from his chest and said, "Don't worry, my roommate will treat everyone to this wedding banquet."
The next day, Fang Luochen regretted even more when he looked at the carriage following him! Because the newlyweds actually moved their family the next day after the wedding banquet and followed everyone.
The groom was a woodcutter from Shuangxi Village, and the wife he married was a prostitute he redeemed from a brothel. The people in Shuangxi Village who were traveling with him at the time were both regretful and jealous. Unfortunately, it was the prostitute who was young and beautiful, but she ruined her appearance and was jealous. But the woodcutter was so infatuated that he actually hugged the beauty back.
The woodcutter's name is Qian Zhong, an orphan from Shuangxi Village, and the girl who is about to cross the family's door is named Qin Xiao'e, but she is a prostitute.
From the mouths of the fellow villagers, everyone learned that although Qian Zhong was a woodcutter, he was infatuated with Qin Xiao'e. Although Qin Xiao'e was not a courtesan, she was good at playing the piano and dancing. The amount of money paid for whoring was not as good as that of the courtesan, but it was also worse. There are not many, and the oiran can get ten golds a night. Qin Xiao'e's beauty can't be among the top five in the brothel, but she can get three golds a night with her talent. However, Qin Xiao'e is mostly a performer, and basically everyone who orders her It's very little, but the reward after performing her performance satisfies the old madam, so she can be considered a first-class prostitute.
However, the two of them met when Qian Zhong was delivering firewood to Mingque Tower in this county. When he saw Qin Xiao'e, he was so shocked that he said that even if they sleep with each other for a night, this life will not be in vain. After all, he is just a woodcutter. Although his expenses are not large, he makes money slowly. Therefore, he is often laughed at for this, and they laugh at him as a toad and as a frog in the well.
I never thought that he would be a powerful person despite having so much money. From then on, he saved every penny he had left. He managed to save three gold coins in two years. When he came to Mingque Tower, he caught up with Qin Xiao'e who came out of the building to perform a dance for others. , just kept guarding the opposite side, just not wanting this person to go out in the afternoon and be fine, but when he came back in the evening, he was beaten all over by the guests. The old madam also knew who the money was for, so she took the opportunity to collect the price of two gold. After the doctor saw the doctor, he let Qian go back to Qin Xiao'e's room.
Qin Xiao'e was unconscious at that time, so Qian Zhong followed the doctor's instructions to apply medicine and feed Qin Xiao'e. Qin Xiao'e didn't wake up until dawn the next day. After seeing Qian Zhong, he learned that the old madam had taken the opportunity to trick her. After getting Qian Zhong, he thought about using his own private money to repay Qian Zhong, but Qin Zhong confiscated the money. He only said that he had figured it out within two years and was still satisfied if he could see her. After that, they met again and left in a hurry. Qin Xiao'e fell into the world. , high and low are commonplace, but this money makes her feel passionate.
The injured Qin Xiao'e was raised for more than a month, but her health was so bad that she was no longer able to dance. Because she received fewer customers, the madam lost her favor and lowered Qin Xiao'e's prostitution money. Unfortunately, not long after, the one who took action last time The prostitute actually ordered Qin Xiao'e again, and Qin Xiao'e refused and threw herself into the river in front of the old madam and the prostitute.
On a cold autumn night, the rescued Qin Xiao'e fell seriously ill again, and was scratched on the face by a branch in the river when she threw herself into the river. The old madam spent another handful of money on this, and she said nice words, but her heart had already begun. After seeing this loser, Qin Xiao'e stopped accepting guests. She wore a hat and veil and poured tea and water for the guests. She only played the piano occasionally. The bounty became less and less. Naturally, there was no place for her to stand in this Mingque Tower. land.
When the two met again, another year had passed. On the road where the woodcutter was selling firewood, he met Qin Niang, who was ordered to come out to buy snacks for the girl in the building. Things had changed, but Qian Zhong's eyes when he looked at Qin Xiao'e were still the same as before. She was so stunning that she was not affected by the scars on her face at all. At that time, Qin Xiao'e mustered up the courage to ask Qian Zhong if he still liked her, but he despised her, and if he was willing to redeem himself or marry him, Qian Zhong didn't say anything and was just stunned for a moment. , and nodded heavily four times.
Afterwards, the two of them made a plan, Qin Xiao'e provided money, and Qian Zhong came forward to redeem her life. In the end, the prostitute was freed, and the simple woodcutter returned home with the beauty in his arms.
Yesterday was the day when the two got married. Fang Luochen naturally succeeded in getting everyone to eat at the wedding banquet with the pills in his medicine bottle. It was just that Mu Mu whispered a few words in the groom's ear and took everyone with him. He left, and now Qian Zhong drove the carriage carrying all his belongings and followed behind the group of people.
"But what if Qian Zhong takes the money and runs away? That's thirty gold!" Niu Qing opened his mouth when he heard that he wanted thirty gold for redemption, but he was more concerned about Qin Xiao'e's boldness. The two of them had just met each other before they made a private decision. According to what the master taught them, they should be careful. How could Qin Xiao'e dare to bet her life on one person's kindness.
"Silly apprentice, why did you forget the last sentence I taught you?" Fang Luochen whipped the carriage with a horsewhip, and Niu Qing curled his lips and said, "Everyone in the world can be cured..."
"Yes, people in the world are even on guard against themselves, but as a doctor, you should only have patients and diseases in your eyes. If there is anything else, it is called a quack doctor..." Fang Luochen successfully changed the subject of his apprentice and stretched his head to look at the people following him. The carriage couldn't help but turn and shout forward: "How did you convince him to abandon his home and follow us?"
Mu Mu's body rose and fell with the horse's body, and he stared at the road ahead and said, "Wealth should not be exposed in a barren land. People's hearts are sinister. You can still hide when you can, just these few words." Seeing Mu Mu not hiding, Fang Luochen hehehe He smiled and said, "Then how much money does he plan to give you?"
"Based on the distance, it costs one gold per county."
Fang Luochen exclaimed and couldn't help but look back at the man driving the car. He said something heroic and hurried on. Suddenly he remembered that there were still pills in his medicine bottle. He turned around and looked at the money behind him with a playful smile. . At that time, he was able to enjoy the banquet with a muscle-building pill and a solid-yuan pill. There is no woman who doesn't like beauty. The muscle-building pill in his hand should be able to exchange for some money and give his apprentice a supplement.
"Master Si Long, how much food can this gold be exchanged for?" Hearing the master's heroic words, Niu Qing in the car couldn't help but ask in a low voice. He didn't look at Cui Wenhai, who was closing his eyes to rest, and pushed the question to Cui Wenhai who was in the car. Si Longjun reading a book.
Si Longjun closed the book and said with a smile: "According to Yu Yu's order, the most basic food for the people is ears. Ten ears of corn are a bunch, and fifteen ears of wheat and rice are a bunch. This bunch is about one pound, three The price of growing rice is different. Taking corn as an example, one kilogram is about nine to thirteen cents. Take the number you can easily calculate, ten cents. Now one tael of silver is exchanged for one thousand copper coins. The ratio of gold to broken silver is about one to ten. This gold is equivalent to ten thousand copper coins, so it can be exchanged for one thousand catties of corn."
Niu Qing opened his mouth and was so surprised that he didn't make a sound. Before he met his master, he had only seen copper coins, but never gold or silver. One gold was equivalent to a thousand kilograms of corn. Can Uncle Shu Ren eat it all?
"Niu Qing, when you become a doctor, you will know how to treat people and make money quickly!" Fang Luochen's leisurely voice was filled with pride, but Cui Wenhai couldn't help but smile bitterly and shake his head after hearing this. , naturally he recalled his incompetent brother. Thinking of this, he naturally felt homesick.
Si Longjun smiled bitterly and shook his head and asked: "Master Fang, this is how you teach Niu Qing. If Niu Qing grows up to be greedy for profit, I'm afraid he will become a quack doctor."
Fang Luochen snorted disdainfully and said: "A doctor is unkind and a quack. If you meet a high-ranking family, the medical fee will be less. They are also afraid of being laughed at, so they will ask for more if they are not rich." Wouldn't it be enough to prescribe him some substitute medicine? You can naturally control this standard yourself. Besides, how is Niu Qing's character? How can my disciple be any different?"
"So when my brother Wu Hai's legs were broken, the housekeepers robbed the rich and gave to the poor?" Cui Wenhai opened his eyes and joked with a smile. Fang Luochen said with a smile: "Your family is the richest man in Shanyang County, and Cui Da has such a small amount of money." The young master should be willing to spend money for his brother, right? The medicine I use is genuine. Besides, it was not me who broke your second brother's legs."
Si Longjun didn't know the inside story, but he could hear the meaning in the words of the house master, so he and Niu Qing cast their eyes on Cui Wenhai's face. After listening to the driver's words, Cui Wenhai looked helpless and could only sigh: "It's amazing how wonderful the world is." .
"After passing the Dingyuan Mountain in front, we will leave Nanjun. The road may not be easy to walk, so be careful." Mu Mu's words came from the front, and everyone was shocked to realize that the group walked for many days before leaving the county, and they had to sigh again. Yuyu's territory was vast, and Niu Qing stared at the snowy scenery in the distance through the gaps in the curtains, feeling a little curious and a little depressed.
When everyone was sighing, they heard Qian Zhong who was following behind suddenly shout, "Brother Shu, you have passed the county!"
