Chapter 158: Coming to Liujiju Again
In recent days, Liujiju has been very lively. As the spring examination of Bailu Academy is approaching, many scholars are buying clothes here, wanting to make themselves look more decent, and it will be more pleasing to the eye in front of the examiner when the time comes. Even some ragged and sour-smelling readers, who had not washed their bodies for a long time, happily ran to Liujiju to buy clothes, as if they already knew the list. The others had to cover their mouths and noses, their faces full of disgust.
This coke spoiled the young man of Liujiju, whether he was a rich kid dressed up gracefully and luxuriously, or a declining scholar who was so poor and penniless, as long as he took out real money, it was Liujiju's food and clothing. When I saw them, those guys were very hospitable, and they were more diligent than the chores in the restaurant.
Even some girls dressed up in flamboyant clothes also came to Liujiju when they were free, customizing clothes for their husbands or lovers, often with poems or patterns tattooed on the back of the clothes, hoping that he could carp and jump into the dragon gate and win the first place in the spring examination of Bailu Academy.
When it was so busy, even some guys who were visiting relatives outside came back non-stop, but they didn't want others to share the soup, after all, it was easier to earn money at this time of year, otherwise they could only watch others eat meat, and they could only drink soup.
At this moment, there is a lot of people in Liujiju, and there is even some noise inside, if you want to go inside, you have to work hard.
Many guys shouted at the top of their voices: "Dongcheng Hu Ji Yanxing eldest prince customized moire green shirt set! Liujiju congratulates Hu eldest son on choosing a day to choose high school!"
Another guy was not to be outdone: "The little boy of the blacksmith shop in Maji, Xicheng, customizes a set of Suzhou embroidered shirts." Liujiju congratulates Ma Gongzi to take the lead and Sanyang Kaitai!"
This kind of sound comes and goes, so festive. Originally, some people who looked at the excitement were attracted, and they couldn't help but rush towards Liujiju, wanting to see what good clothes were sold, coupled with the encouragement of the young man next to him, Liujiju at this moment was as lively as an open vegetable market.
Compared with other clothing shops, it is a little depressed, after all, Liujiju has been hovering in Qingzhou City for a long time, and the precious clothes of several nearby state cities can be found here. For the people of Qingzhou, it is not how good the things of Liujiju are, but the three characters of Liujiju tattooed on the outside of their clothes, just like April Qing is a symbol of status for people who are good at wine.
And when Qin Chuan and Guan Lang came out of the old book stall, the two of them found a path and crossed the street, in front of everyone, even if the evergreen gang found the two of them, they didn't dare to do anything to them, they could only find an opportunity to start in the dark.
As the days got warmer, the two of them were still wearing winter cotton jackets, and many holes were leaking, and the cotton inside also took the opportunity to pop up, making them look very shabby.
Qin Chuan thought that the spring test of Bailu Academy was about to be held, so it was better to go to Liujiju to buy a suit for the two of them, although most of the teachers in Bailu Academy were not people who hated the poor and loved the rich, but it was always right to dress decently. After thinking about it, Qin Chuan felt that Liujiju was the most suitable, there were many clothes here, and the size of the guys who measured the clothes was accurate, but the price was a little more expensive.
Guan Lang naturally didn't have any money in his hand, Qin Chuan walked to the door of Liujiju to explain his intentions, Guan Lang looked at the full-eyed scholar and retreated: "Hey, Qin Chuan, the clothes of these Liujiju are very expensive, and they cost a lot of silver." Why don't we go to Pingyangfang and have a look, I have a few familiar tailor shops, saying that the two of us will go together, and we have to pay some money on credit. ”
Qin Chuan shook his head with a smile, signaling Guan Lang not to be nervous: "When my master left, he left some savings for me, not too much, but enough, if he doesn't come back, I will definitely not stay long in Qingzhou City, it is better to go to other state cities while I am young." Money is something outside of the body, so you don't need to take it too seriously. I asked for your clothes this time. But you have to promise me that you will be reading books in Tongfu Inn these days, otherwise you won't be able to pass the spring exam of Bailu Academy, and you will have to return the money to me. ”
When Guan Lang heard this, he was still muttering in his heart, feeling that he couldn't understand Qin Chuan more and more. The friendship in the world is nothing more than this, thinking that he is a fellow person, and in the end he feels that he has long been a stranger. Guan Lang and Qin Chuan were friends before, because Qin Chuan was born poor, but he was a little poor about eating, and the two of them had a similar smell. Until today, at the second-hand bookstall , I saw that Qin Chuan was extraordinary, and now he had some spare money, which is obviously not something that Guan Lang can climb today.
As the saying goes, the rich have distant relatives in the mountains, and the poor in the downtown no one asks. Guan Lang was worried that Qin Chuan was a rich son who traveled the world, and he just walked around Qingzhou City casually. Now that he has poured out his heart to him, he may end up saying goodbye. Rather than this, it is better to say goodbye, so as not to have deep feelings and be reluctant to give up when the time comes.
Qin Chuan saw Guan Lang stunned and didn't speak, and couldn't help but say in surprise: "Guan Lang, what's wrong? I'm afraid I'm not stupid by the Evergreen Gang, right?"
Guan Lang asked with a serious face: "Qin Chuan, are you from a poor background?" I don't want you to lie to me!"
Qin Chuan was confused, and didn't know what Guan Lang was worried about: "My parents were not there since I was a child, and I was taken in by my master and taken to the Taoist temple in Mataling to practice. I'm not from a poor background, so how can I be?"
Guan Lang still didn't believe it: "If you are from a poor background, why did you enter the martial arts and still be able to afford to visit Liujiju?"
Hearing this, Qin Chuan knew the meaning of Guan Lang's words: "Everyone has some secrets, sometimes it is a good thing not to say that they are buried in their hearts, after all, not everyone can empathize." I was born in Daomen, so I naturally know some divination and fortune-telling, and I used to fool some rich businessmen and magnates in the outer streets of Baiyun Temple, so I earned some money. It's not a robbery of the rich to help the poor, but it's not ill-gotten gains. Moreover, I didn't like you because I was in a relationship with you, I just thought you were like-minded. Don't think too much about it, you don't have anything of value on you, what is there to worry about?"
After Guan Lang listened, he showed a smile, Qin Chuan said well, the so-called poetry and wine take advantage of the youth, care about him poor and rich, just eat and drink enough, how can there be so much exquisiteness.
Patting the dust behind him, Guan Lang borrowed a pen and paper from the shop next to him, and after writing a few lines, he handed it to Qin Chuan to sign and draw.
When I picked it up, it turned out that Guan Lang borrowed Qin Chuan's silver money to buy clothes in Liujiju today, and when he had money, he must return the silver money to Qin Chuan, otherwise he could report to the temple for a lawsuit.
Qin Chuan glanced at it and knew that Guan Lang was poor and ambitious, so he didn't shirk it, and after writing his name on a piece of paper, Guan Langfang and Qin Chuan stepped into the store.
At this moment, the Liujiju people are full of people, men, women and children come in and out, and many rich and noble families have slaves waiting, served by special people, and those poor people are dozens of steps away. Some dignitaries and nobles from Qingzhou City came here, showing their famous posts, and walked directly to the backyard, and they didn't have to wait in the crowd.
Qin Chuan and Guan Lang finally squeezed in, and more than a dozen guys were busy, seeing that the two of them didn't look like rich and noble families, so they were busy with the things at hand, ignoring the two of them at all.
Qin Chuan asked a few times but no one answered, and in desperation, seeing a guy next to him writing a purchase list, Qin Chuan bowed and asked, "Little brother, do we have scholar's clothes here?"
The guy raised his head and looked at Qin Chuan, and the two of them whispered at the same time, "It's you?"
