Chapter 52: Silver Owed (918 Plus Don't Forget the National Shame)
Rongcheng is the most prosperous city in Shu, because it is located in the hub, all the way to or out of Shu must pass through this city, and over time, the prosperity of Rongcheng is the sin of Shu.
Liu Xuan and Qian Tong arrived shortly in the afternoon, Liu Xuan silently looked at the prosperity of Rongcheng and was silent, here and Yizhou are no longer the same, let alone the capital? People are valuable in self-knowledge, she always felt that she was self-aware, although she often said that she had a small property, but her heart was inevitably satisfied, but today she saw the prosperity of Rongcheng, and suddenly felt that she was still not self-aware enough.
She lives too comfortably and comfortably, and she is easy to be satisfied with her ambitions, so she will have yesterday's catastrophe, this is what he wants to tell her......
She wanted to say that since Hong's death, she understands that she is in the world and blindly avoids a corner of the world, although she can be comfortable for a while, she can't really avoid the troubles of this world, and she really doesn't need him to be so 'well-intentioned'.
Liu Xuan was actually very confused, he had never seen a woman with such an identity, and his shortcomings even disliked him in some aspects, why did he fall in love with him? She had always thought that he was just a whim, but after seeing his tenderness and seeing his intentions for her, she realized that he really took himself to heart.
She couldn't figure it out when she thought about it, so she didn't want to at all, she was very good at judging the situation and making full use of it, and since she understood it, she was much more casual, and from the time she began to let the dark guard do things with peace of mind.
He showed her his noble heart, and wouldn't it be foolish for her to cower and hide in Tibet any longer? She knew that there would be no life-threatening thing along the way, but according to his temperament, he would not interfere unless his life was at stake, so she disguised herself all the way in order to avoid trouble.
The wealth is not exposed, Qian Tong found an inn that matched their identity at this time to stay, there are many people dressed like them, and the two of them are not conspicuous. Liu Xuan didn't plan to stay in Rongcheng for a long time, and after bathing and changing clothes and taking a short rest, she went to buy items with Qian Tong.
The first thing to buy is some condiments, these two days she found that even if it is sleeping, it is completely possible to eat and sleep well, there is really no need to eat dry food every day, the general dishes will not be bad at all for three or five days, and they will pass through the town to stop and purchase every three or five days, they can buy some dishes, so that they can eat better at night.
Although Liu Xuan doesn't care much about her appearance, it is normal for women to love pretty, and she doesn't want to go all the way to the capital to see him, and she really becomes a little girl with yellow face and thin muscles.
Liu Xuan purchased all the condiments, and wanted to buy some dishes to bring back today, but was told by Qian Tong that the vegetable market is the freshest in the morning, and they don't rush to the early road, so they can come back tomorrow when they set off.
Liu Xuan felt that it was reasonable, so she and Qian Tong purchased some other items and went back.
On the way back to the inn, it was getting late, and when passing by a green building, the red lanterns had been hung high, and a number of scantily clad women were scratching their heads and smiling at the railing on the second floor.
After looking at it a lot, I saw an acquaintance, who was actually Liu Jing, a disciple of the Liu family.
It turned out that the uncle's family had moved to Rongcheng, and she told Qian Tong to slow down the carriage and look at Liu Jing through the window.
Liu Jing was still dressed in a brocade robe as before, he was being surrounded by a group of women and walked towards the Qinglou, with a smug smile on his face, holding a woman's waist with one hand, but his face was leaning towards the red lips of another woman, that look like a womanizer.
Liu Xuan sighed in her heart, the Liu family is dilapidated and divided into houses, but these people don't want to live in chaos and chaos, and the wine is the most hurtful, now looking at Liu Jing's appearance, she must be a frequent visitor to this green building, she has long lost confidence in each room, so she suggested that her grandfather split up as soon as possible, and each room can also take some money and silver to live in peace, and now looking at Liu Jing's appearance, it must not take long for this money and silver to be squandered.
The carriage gradually drove away from the Qinglou, Liu Xuan took his eyes and told Qian Tong to go back to the inn quickly, some people will never be able to support the mud on the wall, and if you look at it, you will only be upset, your grandfather is such a hard-working person, but he has not taught a good son or grandchild.
Qian Tong didn't like Liu Xuan to stay in this dirty place for a long time, and he wanted to speed up when he heard the command, but as soon as he raised the whip, he heard a scream behind him.
Liu Xuan heard the screams and immediately looked back, but saw that Liu Jing, who was originally proud of the spring breeze, was spitting blood and being trampled under the feet of a man at this moment, the man was about twenty years old, tall and strong, and he was condescendingly looking at Liu Jing at his feet with a look of disdain: "Liu Gongzi, the money you owe us to the gambling house has not been repaid, why do you have the money to look for flowers and ask Liu?" ”
Liu Jing was trampled under the man's feet, but he didn't dare to resist, so he blindly begged for mercy: "Uncle Wang, the little one stole his mother's jewelry and sold it because he was in a panic, and the little one who owes you the silver will definitely be given in a few days." ”
Liu Xuan frowned when she heard this, and she instructed Qian Tong to drive the carriage to the side of the street to take a look.
The man surnamed Wang snorted coldly when he heard Liu Jing begging for mercy: "Didn't Liu Gongzi forget that he promised me to return the silver two days ago?" I have never seen you come to return it, but I met you in this merry land, how do you make Uncle Ben believe that you will return the silver? ”
He said that there was a hard blow under his feet, and Liu Jing screamed in pain: "Uncle Wang, Uncle Wang, you spare the small, the small ones here have some money and silver bento to pay the interest first." ”
Liu Jing hurriedly took out a silver ingot from his sleeve and held it high, and the man surnamed Wang snorted coldly and took it, only then did he move his foot away from Liu Jing's body, he shook the silver in his hand and said: "Count your boy acquaintance, I will laugh at this silver uncle first, and then give you three days, if you can't get together the silver within three days, don't blame me for killing the gate of your Liu family!" ”
After he finished speaking, he glared at Liu Jing viciously, and only after getting Liu Jing's repeated assurances did his face turn slightly pale, and reflexively hugged a woman in the Qinglou and walked towards the gate of the Qinglou.
When he was halfway through, he suddenly turned around and smiled at Liu Jing: "Liu Gongzi, I know that your family property has been sold for you, and it will not be possible to ask you to make up the silver within three days, so you might as well show you a clear way, if you take the initiative to dedicate your sister to my master, maybe the lord will be happy and exempt you from the debt, of course, if you are reluctant to make up the money owed by your sister, you will wait for the family to be ruined." ”
After he finished speaking, he laughed proudly and left, and Liu Jing, who was smiling, turned pale.
Liu Jing didn't have any money, so the women in the Qinglou didn't look at him, and continued to laugh and solicit guests, leaving him alone lying on the ground.
Liu Xuan watched quietly in the carriage, and saw Liu Jing lying down for a while, then slowly got up, and staggered away step by step.
When Liu Jing could no longer be seen, Liu Xuan looked into the Qinglou, and then instructed Qian Tong to continue to drive back to the inn.
