Chapter 27: Unreasonable
He patted Li Gui on the shoulder, making Li Gui turn into a wolf face, and yelled at the king merchant and the evil servant, frightening the chickens and dogs over there. The merchant Wang gave up his hand to him, shouting again and again that he was not mentioning it, and wanted to lead them in, but when he saw Baoyu laughing, he walked over without looking back.
After a delay, the victims had already entered the store, and he didn't bother to waste time with the profiteers. It's so stubborn, and there will be time to be stubborn in the future.
Li Gui and Mingyan followed behind.
Mingyan, the monkey with a fox face, turned his head and grinned, so frightened that Merchant Wang ran in with his head in his hands, not daring to take it at the door of the store. Turning the corner, Baoyu looked at the thin brocade coats of the two, afraid of freezing them, and wanted to go back.
Mingyan's little face twisted and shouted, "Master, we haven't gone to the Xiangxiang Building yet." β
"You're not cold?"
As soon as Li Gui wanted to speak, he was kicked in the calf. Mingyan smiled with a shy face: "Not cold, not cold, master, we are monsters, it's okay to be cold for a few teas." Let's take a few quick steps, and it will be warm when we enter the marriage hall. β
Baoyu scolded with a smile: "You monkey, no wonder you are reading the good of the Xianglou under my ears, you are bored and want to be naughty, right?"
"Master, your eyes are like torches. "The smoke is small, and the inside and outside can be skinny.
Baoyu thought for a while, and when she looked around, her eyes were full of desolation. He has never seen such a big miserable scene, hundreds of dollars, and how can he help a lot?
[If I am a lifter, then I can protect a three-mile radius. How many people can survive within a three-mile radius?]
Baoyu thought to herself, and suddenly asked, "Is there a person in the Xiangxiang Building?"
Mingyan hurriedly said: "Back to my grandfather, there is." That's the elegant place where the peony garden in Dongcheng has been pressed by the recent sudden uprising, not to mention lifting people before, even the Jinshi officials have it, but now the disaster is overflowing, it is estimated that there is no Jinshi in it, but lifting people, there are always those who are not willing to contribute. β
Baoyu squinted his eyes and sneered, "Lead the way." β
...
...
It stands to reason that the peony garden in the east city is the leader of the green building industry, and the marriage hall should not get up, and when it arrives at the place, Baoyu knows that this is really an excellent place.
I saw that the red silk was wrapped in the ground, and the gold wire was wrapped around the beam, and the luxury alone had reached the extreme. The marriage incense building is surrounded by pavilions, and a square fountain in the middle hall symbolizes the literati from all directions, and each structure is unique. The fat powder is not as strong as the literati, and it has a sense of magnificence, which makes people step into it as if they are in a dreamland.
The literati who come and go are all scarves and robes, as well as a Peugeot long skirt that does not show flesh, and is more like a beautiful maid in the Qinglou than the women of the Qinglou. The literati mostly wore gray and plain robes, symbolizing the literary position of the students and talents, and there were also those who were dressed in rich and colorful clothes, which were obviously not treated well.
As soon as Baoyu entered the door, there was a grandmother to greet her.
If it sounds good, it's Mama, and if it's ugly, it's the old bustard. Baoyu saw that this grandmother was not very old, no more than thirty at most, with a pink face and a goose egg face and a smile, she was actually a little more beautiful than the stars in her previous life.
"Master, upstairs?" Ning Yue'er looked at Baoyu's finch and golden fur, and her eyes lit up.
Baoyu waved his hand and said, "No need, I'll just take a look." β
The upstairs seat asked for five taels of silver, and he had already prepared it, but when he saw the desolation of the city, he was suddenly reluctant. Ning Yue'er's smile froze, and after Li Gui and Mingyan's thin clothes, her goose egg face collapsed.
[Look at this dress is a foundation, and he is reluctant to add a thick dress to his subordinates, so he has two brocade coats to support the faΓ§ade. A miser, can't squeeze oil and water. γ
Ning Yue'er thought like this, her attitude turned cold, and she greeted casually: "Then please please, this is the day when our white girl is invited to the curtain, don't look at the national affairs are busy, even the master of the big man is here." But you have to be knowledgeable. β
This is a bit of a contemptible, Mingyan snorted out a fox mouth, which startled Ning Yue'er to take a step back, covered her mouth and smiled: "It turns out that there is also a foundation, don't mind, put away your face." Our marriage Xianglou is a place where literati and scholars chant poems, and there are often big men who hold beauties, and they are going to be seen by them, and they will cause trouble. β
Baoyu asked Mingyan to restrain her a little, and asked with a smile: "There are so many disaster victims, and there are still people who raise people?"
"No, that's our white girl, who is very charming. Ning Yue'er smiled proudly.
Baoyu didn't bother to pay attention to her, and wanted to go inside, but Li Gui pulled her clothes. "Master," Li Gui said worriedly: "Look at these four-sided Accords, it is obvious that the hall has been pressed, and you are staying in the hall as you, this is unreasonable, and the lord will blame it." β
Baoyu tilted her head and thought about it, it was really.
In these days in Jiafu, he can see clearly: don't look at the fox demons in Jiafu, but he is the most Confucian. Confucianism pays attention to etiquette, and as the concubine of the state government, he must have his own identity when he goes out.
That is to say: eat, eat well, drink, drink well, even if it is a seat, it must be high, and cannot be overwhelmed by low status.
He looked at the people in the pavilion around him, most of them were plain-clothed talents, and there were also gray-robed students. Just because of the civil status of the student, he is not lower than others, not to mention that Jiafu is a double prince, belonging to the list of founding ministers, and cannot be inferior to others.
Baoyu sighed, took out the silver from his bosom, and handed it over.
Ning Yue'er's eyes lit up again, and she said with a smile: "Yo, I'll just say that you are a well-grounded person, how can you fool around with the poor students below?" Don't worry about these five taels of silver, you must know that the ring pavilion of our marriage hall, if you don't have a literary position, you can't go up, I look at your bearing, not an ordinary person......
Stretched out the tune, his face was full of flattery, and he hurried to grab the white and clear silver.
One grab, it didn't move, and another grab, it still didn't move. She looked at Baoyu, saw Baoyu looking at her with a smile, and asked, "Ye doesn't participate in trivial matters on weekdays, and he can't tell the grain clearly." You want silver, how big a thing, but you have to reply to your grandfather. β
Ning Yue'er didn't let go and said, "Master, you say, just ask." "His eyes are still on the silver.
Baoyu smiled at the corner of his mouth, his voice was gloomy, and said, "How much can you buy grain for these five taels of silver?"
Ning Yue'er sneered, and said angrily: "Master, you are joking, who doesn't know that the unified grain price of our Great Zhou Kingdom is one tael of silver and five quintals of rice, five taels of silver, and naturally it is twenty-five quintals." β
"What about old rice?"
"New rice is expensive, old rice is cheap, if it is old rice, you can buy thirty-five quintals. β
"If it's mixed with chaff, it's the kind that can live. β
Mingyan began to grind his teeth, Li Gui raised his eyes to look around the pavilion, but he didn't see the familiar big people, and his teeth were puffed up. He was afraid of causing trouble for Baoyu, but with the status of the Guogong Mansion, it was really not much trouble outside.
Ning Yue'er felt that something was wrong, her eyes were withdrawn from the silver, she raised her eyes to look at Baoyu, and her expression turned cold and said: "This master, if you mix it with chaff and just want to be able to live people's lives, then you will change more." You let the slave calculate it for you, and the slave family will calculate it for you, but if you are looking for trouble, please change to a soft bump. β
Baoyu laughed and said, "I'm not looking for trouble, it doesn't matter if you're soft or hard." β
"That's good, the slave family will do the math for you. Ning Yue'er's face was like the sky in June, and she changed when she said it, and she pretended to be angry and said: "It's really hard for you to be a slave, how can you not live if you're hungry to death? I think you're so curious, I'll bother to do the math for you. β
The bright green nails stained with cranberry grass juice were pinched back and forth, and after a while, he smiled: "If you just want to live, 100 taels are indispensable." Master, can you be considered satisfied?"
"How many people are enough?"
This time, he calculated quickly, and said with a smile: "It's enough for 10,000 people to eat a full meal." β
Baoyu nodded, quite satisfied. One load of grain in the 21st century is 59,200 grams, or 59.2 kilograms, and 100 quintals, or 5,920 kilograms. This is rice mixed with bran, more than 10,000 catties of grain, just enough for 10,000 people to eat a full meal.
He threw the silver over and laughed deeply: "Put it away, this is the life of 10,000 victims." β
Over there, Ning Yue'er couldn't wait to take the silver, and this sentence came from her ears, she trembled, her face turned blue, and her fingers unconsciously used a little strength.
Baoyu glanced at him and said with a smile: "It's really a hard one, what a big skill." β
Li Gui and Mingyan hurriedly stepped forward and protected Baoyu behind them, and Ning Yue'er's expression was uncertain for a while, and she pulled up a smile and greeted: "Ink, Yanmo, Xiumo, the three of you come together to greet this master upstairs in the Ring Pavilion." Remember, if you want to Liuyun Hall, everything must be good!"
The four halls of the Great Day, the Warm Moon, the Flying Lake, and the Liuyun are the four best halls in the Xiangxiang Building, and it costs one hundred taels of silver to enter, but I don't know why, Ning Yue'er didn't ask for any more silver.
Baoyu didn't know this, so he passed, and Mingyan was a step slower in the back and stayed at the end. He waited for Baoyu to step onto the spiral staircase, turned around and bared his teeth at Ning Yue'er, revealing a rebellious green jade fox face.
"If you are good to my grandfather, my master will be good to you, and when my master grows up, he will rob you and fill the house!"
muttered, laughed, and went up with Baoyu.
...
...
On the top floor of the marriage incense building, sandalwood smoke curls up, such as jade warm incense.
There was a person sitting next to the mandala purple gauze curtain, his posture was as ethereal as smoke, and the long skirt of plain gauze like flowing clouds slid down, unable to cover the graceful waist and enchanting eyes. The snow-white slender fingers played on the zither on one side, and a song was popped, and a small song could not be heard.
"Miss, give it!" Ning Yue'er rushed in angrily and spread her hands.
Bai Nanyan's head turned slightly, like a silk green silk slowly sprinkled down, and the mist sideburns were windy, revealing a beautiful face that was enough to suffocate people.
Wen Yu's face, phoenix eyes, Qiong nose, green eyebrows like Dai, and teeth like Liebei, its exquisite shape and size matching, make people forget who they are. She twisted her slender waist, and her lotus-like tender arms slipped out of the plain gauze long skirt, pointing at the silver coin and scolding with a smile: "It's just a silver coar, what do you do to me?"
The sound is also extremely beautiful, like the yellow oriole in spring.
Ning Yue'er threw down the silver bill, and said angrily: "It's not that there is a difficult one to serve, five taels of silver, I will arrange him to Liuyun Hall." β
Bai Nanyan's eyes wandered, looking at her, waiting for her to speak.
Ning Yue'er stomped her feet and said angrily, "Miss, don't you ask?"
"Ask what? You're here, you're going to say. β
Ning Yue'er was angry and said, "You, you can see everything clearly, I really don't know whether to be happy or angry." Let me tell you, the one who just came was difficult to serve, he looked very handsome, and he was also well-dressed and had a foundation, but he was very stingy, five taels of silver, and he let me take it well, saying that it was the life of 10,000 victims.
If you think, five taels of silver is worth 100 quintals of miscellaneous grain mixed with bran, which is enough for 10,000 people to eat a full meal, but after this meal, they will still starve to death and freeze to death, how can they say that they are 10,000 lives? β
