084 A pengot of silver
From Nanyang to Canaan, all the way is mountainous, almost no people, the carriage is not very smooth, fortunately the weather is good, if it encounters heavy rain, it is estimated that the carriage can not be pushed, Qi Shangyi and the pillar of the two, stop and go, hungry to eat some dry food brought by themselves, tired, Qi Shangyi will sleep in the car for a while, the pillar will sleep on the ground outside the carriage.
"Pillar, how long will it take to enter the city?" Qi Shangyi poked his head out to look at the mountains around him and said, I haven't seen cities and people for too long, and I feel like I'm about to become a savage.
Zhu drove the carriage, picked up the horsewhip and pointed ahead, and said with a smile: "Out of this mountain is the county seat of Nanfu, and we can get there before the sun sets." ”
Qi Shangyi looked at the sky in front of him, which was half occupied by the mountain peaks, as if he saw hope.
As the pillar said, before the sun went down, Qi Shangyi and the pillar arrived at Nanfu County, which is also a border city, and the size is about the same as Nanyang City.
Qi Shangyi stretched, "Hey, I can finally find a hotel to eat something good, take a shower, and then get a good night's sleep." Qi Shangyi patted his waist as he spoke, and then the whole person was stunned, he was in such a hurry to go out that he forgot to bring his money bag.
"What's wrong with Miss Qi?" Zhuzi saw that Qi Shangyi was stunned for a moment, and he didn't smile anymore, so he asked anxiously.
"Pillars...... You...... Body...... Above...... Yes...... Silver taels? Qi Shangyi was stunned and said this sentence word by word.
The pillar immediately shook his head, Qi Shangyi's heart was cold, and he really couldn't expect a guy with two taels of silver a month to have how many taels of silver could have, but the pillar suddenly reached out and touched it in his sleeve, "I remember, when I went out of the city gate, the general gave me a piece of silver." ”
Looking at the silver ingot in the pillar's hand, Qi Shangyi suddenly felt that the whole world was lit up, and sure enough, when God closed a door, a window would be opened.
Qi Shangyi took the silver ingot in the pillar's hand, this ingot of silver is ten taels, ten taels of silver for the rich can't buy a dish, but for the poor, you can eat for a year.
The two found an inn with ordinary decoration and parked the carriage, thinking that it should be cheaper here, so they got out of the car and walked in.
The shopkeeper saw that someone came in, and hurriedly came out to greet the guest, "Miss, do you want to stay in the hotel?" ”
Qi Shangyi leaned closer to the counter, looked at the people eating in the hall, and said to the shopkeeper with some embarrassment: "Shopkeeper, how much is your stay in the hotel for a night?" ”
"It's not expensive, five taels of silver a night!" The shopkeeper smiled and stretched out five fingers and said.
"So expensive!" Qi Shangyi was shocked, according to him, the silver ingot in his hand would soon be enough for her and the pillar to stay for one night?
When the shopkeeper saw that she was too expensive, he immediately knew that she was a master who had no money, and the smile on his face faded, and he took a rag and wiped the counter while saying: "I'm talking about the general guest room, if the girl is too expensive, there is also a low-class room, as long as one or two silver a night." ”
One tael of silver for one night, only two taels of silver for one night, and there is still some silver left for later use, Qi Shangyi thought about it, and looked at the shopkeeper again, "What is the inferior room like?" ”
"What?" The shopkeeper stopped what he was doing and smiled, "Has the girl ever seen the firewood room?" Just put a bed in the demolition room, and ask your groom, he must have slept with him. The shopkeeper said and gestured with his eyes to the pillar behind Qi Shangyi.
Qi Shangyi glanced at the pillar, and the pillar lowered his head a little embarrassed, as if he had done something bad and was discovered, so he looked at the shopkeeper with an unhappy face, and slapped the silver ingot on the counter, "I'm just looking for a price from you, it's not that I can't afford to live in the store, and I'm talking a little bit of morality!" ”
When the shopkeeper saw Qi Shangyi take out such a big silver ingot, his eyes lit up, he didn't know that Qi Shangyi only had such a silver ingot, and besides, ordinary people couldn't take out such a big silver ingot at once, it was mostly broken silver. "Oh, girl, you have a silver ingot, you said it earlier, you look at my mouth, it's just underpumping!" The shopkeeper immediately changed his face, raised his hand and pretended to slap himself twice, and then reached over to get the silver ingot.
Qi Shangyi's hand was much faster than him, and he immediately took the silver ingot back, and smiled lightly, "I see that your shop is in tatters, and there are no good rooms, this girl will go to another house to see, pillar, let's go!" ”
Zhu Zi smiled, and hurriedly followed Qi Shangyi out of the inn, leaving the shopkeeper alone standing at the threshold with a regretful face and shouting: "Girl, girl, our family really has a good room~"
But Qi Shangyi won't pay attention to him, he hates this kind of person who looks down on people the most.
"Zhuzi, let's go find a shop again, and ask for two inferior rooms, and the remaining silver taels can buy some food and dry food." Qi Shangyi said with a smile to the pillar on the side.
The pillar led the horse, and when he heard Qi Shangyi say this, he hurriedly shook his head, "By all means, the girl doesn't know, the inferior room is broken and trendy, and the girl can't sleep at all, so she still wants a first-class room, I'll just get together for one night in this carriage." ”
Qi Shangyi stopped, looked at the pillar in front of him in a daze, to be honest, the silver ingot in this hand was given to the pillar by Mo Qi, and she was already embarrassed to use it herself, but the pillar still wanted to let herself live in a first-class room, and she was willing to sleep in a carriage, so moved that she wanted to cry.
The cool evening breeze blew Qi Shangyi's bangs swayed left and right, the two of them pulled the carriage and walked on the street, asked several rooms that were not cheaper, there were a lot fewer pedestrians on the street, Qi Shangyi suddenly smelled a fragrant smell, stopped, it turned out to be a noodle stall.
"Girl, do you want a bowl of noodles?" The noodle seller saw Qi Shangyi standing in front of the noodle stall in a daze, so she straightened up and asked with a smile.
Qi Shangyi was stunned, he hadn't eaten since he entered the city, and he was really hungry, but he still asked weakly, "Auntie, how much is this noodle a night?" ”
"Fifty wen, it's not expensive, how many bowls does the girl want?" The eldest lady said with a smile.
Fifty Wen, Qi Shangyi hurriedly calculated in his heart, one tael of silver for one thousand Wen, you can eat twenty bowls of noodles, it is really cheap, so he hurriedly turned around and beckoned the pillar to come over, "Zhuzi, come and eat noodles, fifty Wen a bowl, very cheap." ”
The pillar agreed, tied the horse rope to the pillar on the side, and then came and sat down with a smile, and after a while, the eldest lady brought two bowls of noodles up, and I don't know if I was hungry for too long, Qi Shangyi felt that this noodles were unusually delicious, and the pillar was even more snorting and ate a bowl of noodles with soup and water, Qi Shangyi saw that the pillar was so clean, and quickly asked for a bowl for him, and waited until he ate and ran, and then took out the silver ingot to settle the bill, but the lady was embarrassed with the silver ingot.
