Chapter Eighty-Five: The Truth
Zheng Shaoqiu took it in his hand, then took off his shirt, put the silver dollar on it, and carefully sharpened it, and soon, the silver coin revealed the true face of Lushan.
"Zhangzhou military salary?" Lin Cen Yue turned her little head over and read word by word.
The front and back of the silver coin have Chinese characters in regular script, no pattern, the front horizontal script "Zhangzhou military salary" words, under the cursive script "seventy-four", the reverse horizontal script "foot pattern", straight book "pass".
Zhangzhou military salary!
Foot pattern passes!
"What does that mean?"
Lin Cen Yue asked a little puzzled.
That's what it means literally. Zheng Shaoqiu explained: "This kind of silver coin is mainly used to provide military salaries. ”
He frowned imperceptibly: "But this kind of silver coin shouldn't appear in Pingjing." ”
"What?"
Lin Cen Yue was stunned for a moment and didn't react.
"Zhangzhou's military salary should appear in southern Fujian. ”
Zheng Shaoqiu explained casually, then took out the copper coins in the cauldron and gently wiped them with a toothbrush.
Time passed minute by minute, and it was almost late at night when he was busy.
And Lin Cen Yue had already cleaned up the other room, and the bed was made meticulously.
"Rest early. ”
Lin Cen Yue put a towel on her shoulder and wiped the sweat on her forehead: "I will entrust my uncle's affairs to you, you know, he has a strong temper, and he has not asked me for a penny for so many years." ”
Zheng Shaoqiu squatted at the door, holding a toothbrush, his mouth was full of foam, nodded, and said vaguely: "Don't worry." ”
Lin Cen Yue wanted to speak and stopped: "Also, I'm going to start busy with the contract these days, and I may only come over in the evening." ”
"Yes. ”
Zheng Shaoqiu answered, poured a sip of water, and spit it out again.
Soon, everything was silent, except for a few dog barks faintly coming from the end of the alley.
In the narrow room, Lin Cen Yue was lying on the bed with beautiful eyes, and in the dark, her eyes were extremely clear.
She could hear her own heartbeat clearly.
Puff ......
Puff ......
Zheng Shaoqiu was next to him, his posture was a little uncomfortable, and as soon as he turned over, there was a soft touch.
The bed was a little small, and both of them were a little embarrassed.
A touch of red suddenly appeared on Lin Cen Yueqiao's face, and then she leaned her head gently and lay down in a warm arm.
Zheng Shaoqiu was slightly stunned, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
A short time later, there was a slight snoring from the next room.
"It's time for you to shave......"
"Really, I'm going to buy a razor tomorrow. ”
"What style of house do we buy, I prefer duplexes. ”
"Whatever you want, I'll do it......"
The two of them had a ride, and they chatted without a match, and all they talked about were some unnutritious words.
A wisp of clear light spread down obliquely, and Lin Cenyue's delicate face had a dusty temperament.
The corners of her mouth curled slightly, and she arched into Zheng Shaoqiu's arms again.
"I miss my mother......"
"And my dad......"
"I want to go back to ...... when I was a kid"
"It would be nice if they were all here. ”
Lin Cenyue's murmuring lingered, getting lower and lower.
Zheng Shaoqiu listened quietly, never spoke, just hugged her arm and tightened it again.
Soon, there was silence in the room.
The two embraced each other in the quiet of the night, on a crumbling little bed, warming each other.
Early the next morning.
When Zheng Shaoqiu woke up, there was no one next to him, only the residual fragrance on the bed, as if he was silently telling something.
"She left at six o'clock, and told me not to disturb you. Xu Xu squatted at the door and took a cigarette roll in his mouth: "Get one?"
As he spoke, he took out a crumpled cigarette from his pocket and grinned: "Hongmei, don't dislike it." ”
Zheng Shaoqiu touched his nose, took two steps forward directly, and took it in his hand.
He took a deep breath and slowly exhaled wisps of white smoke.
"Be kind to her, this child has been miserable since childhood. He patted him on the shoulder and stood up.
He walked to the door, pushed a breakfast cart, and said without looking back: "I left two buns for you on the table, eat them while they are hot." ”
With that, he disappeared into the alley.
After smoking, Zheng Shaoqiu picked up two buns and ate them as he walked.
The alley was already bustling, shoulder to shoulder, and the small merchants and vendors on both sides opened their throats and shouted.
He didn't stay too long and walked straight through the crowd.
An hour later, Liulichang Street.
The "Liulichang" was originally named "Haiwang Village".
During the Yuan Dynasty, Kublai Khan, the ancestor of the Yuan dynasty, set the capital in Beijing, because the construction of the palace required a large number of glazed products, the imperial court opened a glazed kiln factory in the "Haiwang Village".
The small village has gradually developed into a lively town.
During the Ming Dynasty, because of the construction of the outer city wall, the kiln factory was relocated to another place, and the steaming kiln fire was extinguished in the changes of the world, but the place name "Liulichang" was retained.
During the reign of Shunzhi in the Qing Dynasty, Pingjing implemented the system of "Manchu and Han divided and lived", and Han officials could not live in the inner city.
As a result, people built mansions in the area of Liulichang, not far from the Forbidden City.
Most of the Han officials like to be accompanied by poetry and books, and in order to meet their daily needs, some shops have been opened here one after another, specializing in selling the four treasures of the study, books, calligraphy and paintings.
Because it is located in the only way of Jincheng, scholars who rush to take the exam usually stay here to buy stationery supplies and books for the imperial examination, and a large-scale bookstore is slowly formed in the old street, precipitating the long cultural charm of this thousand-year-old capital.
It's just that the long street in front of you is obviously a little different from Zheng Shaoqiu's memory, and it seems that it has been renovated on a large scale.
The green tile gray wall, the brick carving and painting, and the antique shops are built according to the natural curve of the street, and the crowd is not much, but there are many of them.
There are in and out, elegant and handsome.
Surrounded by shade trees on both sides, the branches and leaves are densely layered, and the black lacquer gold hidden in it can be faintly seen, which is a strong and powerful plaque.
Standing in the middle of the road, Zheng Shaoqiu couldn't help but lose his mind slightly.
This is the real prosperity and prosperity that he never imagined, Guotai and Min'an!
I have never seen it even in my dreams.
He took a deep breath, took a solemn step, and walked slowly along the long street.
There are many shops, neatly and uniformly, and the decoration inside is also very exquisite, antique.
After a while, he walked into an antique shop called Xue Baozhai.
The store is not small, there are more than 80 square meters, two floors up and down, a layer of goose yellow floor is laid on the ground, the decoration has an obvious Qing Dynasty style, the screen, the furniture layout is also very elegant.
As soon as I stepped inside, a cold air rushed into my face.
On the left, a pot of pine pine, and on the right, a pot of cyclamen.
Both kinds of flowers have the meaning of wealth and fortune!
Looking around, rows of exquisite porcelain are in full view, and on the left and right sides, there is a couplet.
Shanglian: Sell the new and sell the old elsewhere, and the older the better.
Downlink: Yiren buy the old and buy the real The more true the more precious.
Side-by-side: genuine.
