The spring of Tiandu is still cold, but it is only a moment before people are unprepared, and it is far from the point where people wear a thick cotton jacket to defend, but Ning Du is wrapped in a heavy leather jacket, even if this leather jacket is expensive, it looks extremely funny.

Not long after Ning Du, who had just come out of the ravine, ordered almost all the dishes of "Liuxian Ju", and folded them into a tower on a table of eight immortals, coupled with his out-of-place outfit, which undoubtedly attracted everyone's secret ridicule. Anyone with a little insight can guess that Ning Du must be a newcomer to the Northwest, and there are countless stupid heads who have been deceived in the sky. It is not surprising that all kinds of people in Tiandu have seen a lot, and people snickered and went on to discuss other things.

"Have you heard about Zeng Mingkai, a big merchant in Guanzhong?"

"What's going on?"

"Hey, don't you know? It's spread all over Guanzhong, and Zeng Mingkai has sent a reward, 10,000 taels for that kid's head!"

"Ten thousand taels, good fellow, tell me what's going on?"

"Just a few days ago, a young man walked into Zeng Mingkai's mansion and said that he was the young housekeeper of Zhengde Qianzhuang and came to Zeng Mingkai's mansion to propose marriage. Zeng Mingkai heard that Zhengde Qianzhuang was exactly the object he wanted to encircle. After sending someone to Zhengde Qianzhuang to check that it was correct, he immediately agreed. The next day, this young man took the seventh lady of Zeng Mingkai's family and 30,000 taels and ran away!"

The problem is that he went to Zhengde Qianzhuang in advance and said that he was Zeng Mingkai's son-in-law and came to Zhengde Qianzhuang to seek a position. When Zhengde Qianzhuang heard that it was the son-in-law of Zeng Mingkai's family, whether it was true or not, he accepted it first. After he took the token, he immediately went to Zeng Mingkai's house to lie, saying that he was the young housekeeper of Zhengde Qianzhuang. ”

This kid lied at both ends, and he didn't miss either, not only took away 30,000 taels but also abducted Zeng Mingkai's Seventh Miss. You say, if it were you, would you not kill this kid?"

"The key to this is the time difference, and neither party can confirm it, so this kid has taken advantage of the loophole!"

Ning Du listened to people discussing his various deeds along the way, and couldn't help frowning, and said to himself: "With false rumors, who kidnapped the seventh lady of his family? 30,000 taels? Lao Tzu obviously only took 3,000 taels! Among them, I am afraid that someone will deduct the basin on Lao Tzu's head. ”

After listening to the words of the people around him, Ning Du knew that it would be good if there was a point in the words of these people. Losing interest, Ning Du looked out the window.

Even if you can't see the Qinglou at a glance, it's not bad to see the scenery of Tiandu. I don't know if I've read too many healthy albums, Ning Du now feels that all the living beings below are just a bunch of bones and a bunch of flesh put together skins, which is really nothing to look at.

Suddenly, Ning Du looked at a group of little beggars at the corner of the long street, as if he had found a pearl in the thousands of sands.

Ning Du looked at it for a while, thinking in his heart, and a smile suddenly appeared on the corner of his mouth. He packed the rest of the roast chicken, settled the bill, went downstairs, and walked through the crowd towards the little beggar.

Squatting next to the little beggar, Ning Du opened the oil paper, revealing the roast chicken inside, sniffed it hard, and bit it hard. The little beggar on the side stole a glance, and then swallowed his saliva.

There was not the slightest open space in his stomach, but Ning Du looked hungry, and the sound of his mouth became louder and louder.

"Yes...... Will you share it with me......" The little beggar couldn't help but ask.

Ning Du smiled and said, "Roast chicken for you, you will be my person." ”

"Do you want to eat?"

"Tube full. ”

"Okay!" the little beggar immediately snatched the roast chicken in Ning Du's hand and ate it in a big gulp.

"What's your name?"

"Uh-yes-"

"Suddenly?"

"Hu Ran!"

"Hu Ran Hu Ran - why don't you call cumin?"

Hu Ran stopped eating roast chicken and glared at Ning Du.

Ning Du was unconscious, and said with a smile: "You will be my person in the future, Hu Ran, my name is Ning Du, but you have to call me Young Master in the future." ”

Hu Ran continued to eat roast chicken, glanced at Ning Du, and agreed. Anyway, she doesn't have much to do, and it's not bad to have a young master who can manage her fill.

After Hu Ran finished eating the roast chicken, Ning Du said: "I will buy you new clothes first, and then we will find a place to stay." ”

Tiandu, the center of the Ming Dynasty, is the first royal city in the world in any way.

Nine horizontal and five vertical, fourteen main streets, each wide and ten zhang, which is 100 miles long, 170 miles long, a total of 16 city gates. There are no less than 10,000 streets and alleys of other sizes, criss-crossing and dense, and the pavilions and buildings are even more row upon row. The flow of people is like weaving, rubbing shoulders and sweating like rain.

Generally speaking, the heavenly capital is divided into three parts, the Daming Palace is in the middle, the north is the eighteen religions and sacrifices, and the remaining three sides are the Minfang District. Among them, the east and west sides are each a large people's square, and the south side is divided into two people's squares.

Recommended by the shopkeeper of Liuxianju, Ning Du found a middleman, took Hu Ran to Chaomingfang in Dongcheng District, walked into Gualiu Hutong, fell in love with one of the courtyards, and paid five hundred taels, which was rented for one year.

"Although the sky is big, it is not easy to be a snail. Ning Du thought that Guanzhong could buy a fertile soil for five taels of silver, and couldn't help but sigh.

Hu Ran held several packets of snacks bought from "Chen Tangji" and looked around at his new residence.

Ning Du lay down on the chair, closed his eyes, and said, "Hu Ran, clean up, we will live here in the future." ”

Hu Ran put down a few bags of snacks, touched his belly, and said, "Young master, can you have dinner first?"

"We'll go eat when we're done. ”

"That's fine......"

After Hu Ran smashed the vase, kicked over the table, and broke her knee, Ning Du finally asked her to stop, and then took her to the wonton stall at the mouth of the alley to have dinner.

"Young Master, are you from the northwest alone?"

"That's right. ”

"Then young master, what are you doing here?"

Ning Du raised his head and glanced outside the shop, but he couldn't see the Qinglou he wanted to go to the most, smiled mysteriously, and said, "The little master is here to win the good name." ”

——

It's late at night, but Liuxianju is still busy. The kitchen is dealing with tomorrow's ingredients, the miscellaneous is cleaning the corners and corners, the account room is settling today's accounts, and the shopkeeper is counting the money.

"Eight taels, come here. The shopkeeper suddenly shouted.

"Hey, shopkeeper, you call me?" the shopkeeper immediately ran over.

"Look. The shopkeeper put a silver ticket in front of the shopkeeper, and when he saw the shopkeeper reaching out to take it, he immediately pulled it back and said, "Let you see, it's not for you, your hand is long enough!"

The shopkeeper withdrew his hand stupidly and said, "What's the matter, the shopkeeper? This silver ticket is not fake." ”

"Do you remember who gave this silver ticket?"

"Yo, shopkeeper, let's stay in Xianju every day so many people, where do I remember who gave it. ”

"If you think about it, this silver ticket is yours. ”

The shopkeeper looked at the silver ticket of ten taels, and immediately remembered who had given him a ticket of ten taels today. Ten taels of tickets is enough for a big meal, except for those sons and brothers who often keep accounts, who else is so generous today?

Suddenly, the shopkeeper thought about it and hurriedly said, "The shopkeeper, I remember, is a fifteen or sixteen-year-old young man. ”

"Fifteen or sixteen-year-old?"

"It's about that tall and thin. By the way, that kid is wearing a leather jacket, and at first glance he is from the northwest. ”

"Remember where he went?"

"The boy wanted to find a house to live in, so I introduced him to Old Joe. ”

The shopkeeper re-examined the Zhengde firm on the silver ticket, showed an imperceptible smile on his mouth, and said, "Call Lao Qiao tomorrow, and this silver ticket is yours." ”

The shopkeeper was taken aback, and quickly nodded: "Thank you shopkeeper, thank you shopkeeper." ”
