"Well, yes, how much a day?" Rong Yuanhang asked.

The little guy bowed down and said, "This ......, the little one is not very clear, the ...... Wait a minute, wait for the small call shop account to come out, please sit down first. ”

led Rong Yuanhang's master and servant into the inn hall to settle down, and the shopkeeper hurriedly ran to the backyard and summoned a middle-aged man with a Taoist robe and hair. As soon as the man stepped through the door, he clasped his fists and smiled: "Welcome to our store, the two nobles have been waiting for a long time." ”

Rong Yuanhang thought to himself that this person was probably the bookkeeper in the store, and it should be called the hotel front desk in modern times, right? I also learned to come back and salute and asked, "How much money is more than this house?" ”

The bookkeeper said, "What kind of room do you want to rent for the guest officer?" …… What about the upper room, the ordinary room or the bunk? ”

"It's also divided into grades, so how much is such an upper room or ordinary room, tell me about it?" Rong Yuanhang asked interestingly.

"The upper room is five cents to five cents of silver a day, the room is one dollar and five cents of silver, and the whole shop is twelve copper plates."

"Copper? How many copper plates can this tael of silver be exchanged for? "It's okay to say silver, but Rong Yuanhang is not clear about the conversion between copper coins and silver, so he asked.

The bookkeeper couldn't help but look at him in surprise, he didn't even understand this most basic common sense? This master and servant are really a mess! But he thought that maybe they were guests from a remote place or a foreign country, so he replied with relief: "Guest officer, according to the conversion rules of the government, one or two pieces of silver is exchanged for 400 large coins." …… It's just that in our local people, there is more than that, and one tael of silver can be exchanged for five or six hundred coppers. ”

"Oh...... I see. Rong Yuanhang nodded. In fact, he didn't understand that the confusion in the conversion between copper coins and silver was due to the crude imitation of the people, and the use of bad coins instead of good coins caused the gradual depreciation of Dayin copper coins.

"Then I want two upper rooms." Rong Yuanhang thought that the price of living in the room was acceptable, and it was converted into RMB according to the local one tael of silver and 37 grams, which was 72 yuan.

"Two rooms?" The bookkeeper couldn't help but ask, "How many people does the guest officer want to stay?" It can be seen that Cailong is standing behind him respectfully, and he should be Rong Yuanhang's servant.

"Just the two of us." Rong Yuanhang replied.

"Yo ......, this is Zunji, right?" The bookkeeper asked, pointing to the colorful dragon behind him.

"Yes, what's the problem?"

The bookkeeper said, "Then you master and servant, it's too wasteful to have two rooms." There is a master bedroom with two rooms, an ear room, and a living room, which can be used as a subordinate. You can live three people at the same time. ”

Rong Yuanhang glanced at Cailong, thinking that it shouldn't matter where he lived, so he nodded and said, "Okay, let's have an upper room." ”

"Great!" The bookkeeper wrapped himself in the cashier counter and said, "Your Excellency, please move, do you have any charms?" ”

"What runes? No. Rong Yuanhang frowned.

"Didn't you?" The bookkeeper said, "It's the same with the letter card or the road guide belt." ”

Rong Yuanhang's heart sank, and he said, "You won't tell me that you can't live without these things, right?" ”

"Really...... Which household always brings it with you, right? The bookkeeper frowned.

Rong Yuanhang deliberately touched his body and said, "I forgot to bring these things......

"Huh? This ......" said the bookkeeper in amazement: "This ...... I'm sorry. Without these contemptible people do not dare to rent a house to you, the official uncle from time to time to check on the store, if it is found that there is an unknown person living in the store, it will be unlucky. ”

Rong Yuanhang and Cailong glanced at each other, thinking to themselves, why is it so troublesome, and they still need identity certificates? Where am I, an otherworldly, going to ask for these things? When he went out, Rong Yuanhang's face was a little hot, as if the bookkeeper and the shopkeeper behind him were watching his master and servant leave, and there was always a feeling of gray and even embarrassing.

But after renting a house this time, it also reminded him again that if you want to gain a foothold in this other world and live a legitimate life, you must have a proper identity.

"Master, where are we going now?" Cailong asked.

Rong Yuanhang was stunned and said, "Find a snack bar first and eat some breakfast to fill your stomach." Then go to the jade shop, buy the jade first, and then ...... Tsk, it's so troublesome, why can't I rent a house? ”

……

At nine o'clock in the morning, Rong Yuanhang and Cailong patronized Fuxiang Road again and directly entered the store where they had taken a fancy to Yu Pei last time.

"Shopkeeper, morning!" Rong Yuanhang broke into the store and glanced at the old man sitting in the corner, he was holding a porcelain bowl and eating something.

"Welcome," the shopkeeper put down the dishes and chopsticks and stood up with a smile.

"Is that jade pendant still there last time? I'd like to see again. Rong Yuanhang still remembered the mutton fat jade pendant, but unexpectedly the shopkeeper said: "Yo, I'm sorry, Childe, you are a step late, you were just bought yesterday, but the quality of the jade, I still have a lot of this, Childe want to take a look?" ”

The shopkeeper's surname is Wu, who is both the owner and the shopkeeper of the jade shop. His shop is not very large, with two shops; The furnishings inside are all wooden shelves, and the display cabinets are placed with jade objects of different shapes. The use of jade in this world is very extensive, and the activities of the social, humanistic and common people are inseparable from jade, so it can be said that jade is the center! Such as the seal of the state, court meetings, sacrifices, oaths, recruitment, musical instruments, legal instruments, etc. There are also men's and women's hair accessories, clothing, crown ornaments, belt ornaments, earrings, wrist ornaments, and study utensils, wine vessels, wat boards, and even houses, carriages and horses, travel equipment, etc., all without jade!

There are countless items made of jade. The shopkeeper Wu mainly sells small items here, such as the '琫' used on the saber, the '璂' on the crown hat, the 'hammer' used for the crown pendant, the 'wrench' used for the archer's thumb hook string, the 'pei' used on the clothing, and the jade belt hook used on the belt, the bracelet worn on the wrist, etc., all kinds of varieties are very complete.

Rong Yuanhang can't distinguish between good and bad jade, he only picks those that look pleasing to the eye, have no flaws in the jade, or are exquisite and attractive to carve. I picked three pieces of mutton fat jade with hooks, four pairs of white jade bracelets, another pair of jade bracelets that are dripping green, and three jade pendants with delicate carving. I even bought a jade statue of a longevity fairy holding a peach. In the end, a total of 400 taels of silver was paid!

"Let's take these to test the water first, I thought of another store to have a look, but I didn't have enough silver." Rong Yuanhang was satisfied, thinking that these jade-looking jade artifacts that looked very beautiful could be sold for millions of dollars, right? I still have a hundred taels of silver left on my body for self-defense, and I may be able to encounter more exciting items, but I will have no money to buy them.

"Cailong, let's go, let's go to Uncle Zhou's house." Rong Yuanhang completed the procurement task, thinking that he had to find a clean place to travel back, the Zhou family was a local, and he might be able to help him find a rented house.

……

Zhou Kaishan's home is near a horizontal alley called Baofeng Street, with memory, Rong Yuanhang took the colorful dragon to the entrance of a memorial arch, on which were written 'Baofeng Street' three big characters.

Rong Yuanhang doesn't know what allusions there are to this street, and he wants to set up this solemn archway. However, he knew that on this street, the Guanglong Dart Bureau, which had a close relationship with the Zhou family, was established in this place. This Guanglong dart game, occupying the entire street, is thirty or forty meters open, and at the gate of the extraordinary magnificence, there are two stone statues of strange beasts with teeth and claws. On the left is a visible compound enclosed with beech wood, and the walls are lined with colorful flags, flying in the wind and showing great grandeur.

The depth of the compound covers a large area, with many buildings and tall trees. In the courtyard, several large carriages were parked. At this moment, some handymen and executioners are sweating like rain to carry boxes of heavy goods onto the frame, and there are a few men dressed as officials next to them as if they are monitoring the loading process.

Rong Yuanhang saw at a glance a young man standing on the roof of the truck. He shouted, "Messenger brother! ”

"Brother Rong!" The young man was really Zhou Chuanxin, he smiled happily when he saw Rong Yuanhang, wiped the sweat on his face and shouted: "Brother Rong, you wait a while, I'll come down after getting on this truck!" ”

"It's okay if you're busy." Rong Yuanhang walked into the courtyard with a smile. As soon as the two of them talked, many people paid attention. But Rong Yuanhang didn't care at all, and greeted these rough men generously. And a few officials with waist knives next to him, that gaze also fell on him, one of them wanted to go over for interrogation, but was stopped by another official, he shook his head and said: "No, there are acquaintances here." The messenger who wanted to go up and interrogate him ignored it.

As soon as I entered the courtyard, my vision widened up and I could see the situation inside more clearly. Rong Yuanhang realized that more than 20 meters away, several men and women were gathering together, standing under the eaves and talking.

One of them, a twenty-seven or eighteen-year-old woman, is as eye-catching as standing out from the crowd: she is wearing a light purple large-sleeved gauze skirt, a plain white pin-pleated skirt underneath, combed a cloud bun, bright eyes and bright teeth, pink makeup, and she is simply a stunning beauty who has captivated the country and the city!

In Rong Yuanhang's life, he has never really seen such a beautiful woman up close, she smiles, she looks well-mannered, enchanting and moving!

"Look at what you see, and then look at gouging out your eyeballs!" Suddenly, a voice in my ear burst into applause. Rong Yuanhang was fascinated, and this sudden scolding was really startled! Turning his head suddenly, he saw a man in brocade clothes glaring at him with an annoyed face, and he couldn't help but be angry, and said, "What do I think people have to do with you?" Eyes are on me, don't you allow me to look at it, what? ”

"Y-It's not right for you to stare at her!" The man in brocade took a step forward and said, "Get out of here, this is not where you came!" ”
