The maple leaves in front of Aki-giin have been bright red for decades.

On a moonlit night, more than a dozen maple crown branches and leaves are like red brocade embellished with gold, spread out on the white-gray low walls on both sides of the courtyard gate.

At the opening of the courtyard gate, a group of mermaids entered.

She went directly to the porch in front of the big house, sat down, and looked directly at Ah Chi.

He was not verbose, and sat down on the verandah.

He pulled out a thin piece of bamboo paper from his sleeve and handed it to her.

Before she could see the dense accounts on the paper, she listened to him speak as a matter of course, and said:

"Saburo recently bought a large quantity of knives and armor from me, a total of 2,100 Hiraizumi coins. You know I don't take Hiraizumi coins. Use Song money to make 240 yuan, and use gold sand for 26 taels - he is tight on money, and I am an old friend with him, so it's not easy to urge, you pay for him. ”

Ji Mo, who was standing with a knife under the corridor, was already vigilant when he heard that San Lang had purchased weapons privately.

Hearing this Ah Chi Ming and San Lang are wearing a pair of pants, and now they don't want Fusang currency Pingquan coins, but ask the eldest lady for gold sand to stuff the account.

Ji Mo looked at Ah Chi's eyes, and couldn't help but be stunned with "how can this be reasonable".

"San Lang and your private account, why did you open your mouth to me-"

She smiled slightly, her eyes falling on the slips, and she looked down in rows.

Ah Chi's manifest was also learned from Tang Fang, and it was all written in Chinese characters and Arabic numerals, and these knives and armor were enough for nearly 2,000 private soldiers under San Lang to change their equipment.

Of course, Ah Chi wouldn't let her know how many private soldiers outside the square Saburo still had in his hands.

I only heard Ah Chi say again:

"San Lang is left hand in and right hand out, where do I dare to do serious business with him? It was he who said that he had no account and asked his sister, and I was right when I thought about it. He wears a snack. Which one didn't you give? Even those village boys who gathered around him when he was a teenager, and their parents and family, which of the food, use, and use was not given by you? He was annoyed, as long as he reached out when he entered the temple, he could get it all by calling Sister A? ”

The corners of his mouth curled. His eyes were cold but he pretended to smile coolly,

"I thought, even if he wants your position as the owner of the workshop now, you are willing."

When Ji Mo heard that this Fusang Temple slave had sinister intentions and blatantly sowed discord, he naturally glared angrily.

He is a witch and a slave. It was one of the captives who was looted by Ji Chenhu from southern Kyushu. Although he also has hatred and love for Ji Saburo, he will not ask himself like this.

She didn't lift her eyelids, just counted the accounts on the paper.

After doing the math, it is doubtful that there are still three or four hundred sets of paper armor.

The shelf life of Song-made paper armor is only two years, and it is more susceptible to moisture at the seaside. But the paper armor is equipped for free in the workshop. As long as it doesn't break, you don't need to replace it with a new one within two years.

Last month, Nanfang just had 400 square Ding rotated a batch of new paper armor, Ah Chi should not know.

In this way, the private soldiers that San Lang raised outside the workshop are three or four hundred.

She flicked the slip with her fingertips, looked up and smiled:

"If he really likes the position of this owner, why do he secretly do some small business with broken knives and armor, and he wants me to fill the account for him." Speaking of which. She also smiled and asked,

"I heard that the Lao owner recently bought a new Zhuangzi in the interior of Fusang? I haven't said hello to the lord yet. ”

Whether there is San Lang's private soldier hiding in the new Zhuangzi, she doesn't know. But she knew. Ah Chi is now living as comfortably as the monks.

In addition to eating refreshments and wearing silk clothes, he would go back to the village of Yazhu Mountain from time to time, and come and go with three or four women at the same time.

One of them is also a Tangfang woman.

"Why, someone is crying in front of you again?"

Ah Chi didn't need her to mention it, so he naturally knew the meaning of her words, and his eyes only looked at the bill of goods waiting to be paid.

"I know that you Tang Fang are not allowed to get married. But I made it clear to you when I was friendly with the girl of your neighborhood that it was impossible to marry her. I don't care if she wants to be on good terms with your fellow at the same time. Come to think of it - you won't deny it for this little thing? ”

Because he didn't even look at her. So she couldn't see his look clearly.

In order to do the temple slave thing together, she really couldn't ask more about his male and female private affairs. Just nodded and said:

"It's a girl who talked about it. I want the matchmaker in the nursery to propose to you. It's up to you. ”

She knew it was impossible.

Ah Chi is handsome. Although it is a little more feminine, but because of his indifferent temperament, coupled with the fact that he has eaten black goods business over the years, his subordinates have called three or four hundred large and small temple slaves. He looks at people like a knife.

Even among the mountain thieves and water thieves, no one dares to joke with him now.

There must be many women who like him.

It's just that since Mrs. Wang has talked to her about this matter, she has to have an explanation.

"It turns out that the owner still has the intention of marrying me......"

He chuckled, his eyes falling oddly to her face.

She's at ease.

"It's not just me, Saburo should have mentioned it to you?"

“…… Of course, it was mentioned. He also said that in addition to his sister, his wife, and Erlang's wife, I can pick and choose the other girls in the workshop......"

The ridicule of laughter made Ji Mo's eyes appear angry.

Sitting on the porch, she secretly scolded San Lang, but only rejoiced in her heart:

The six Kudin who had come with her were now standing far away at the gate of the courtyard, unable to hear him.

There were two of them, and she remembered that there were good girls in the workshop.

“…… Although this is not the case, the owner of the liao may wish to think about this marriage. ”

Her younger brother Ji Chenhu is not a good waiter.

He even had to point fingers at her marriage, let alone Ah Chi.

He wants to gain Ji Chenhu's trust as an outsider, and it is necessary to really join forces with San Lang and marry a girl.

Otherwise, Ji Chenhu would never take him seriously.

Ten years ago.

Ah Chi and his parents lived in a mountain village on the edge of Mt. Amazuki, and worked with the people of Fuso to cultivate land for a living.

They hoped to marry the local Fuso people and blend into the local community.

Only in this way can they keep the land and grain they have worked so hard to reclaim and obtain the household registration of Fuso.

It's like the lower pass of Kitakyushu. In that area, there are still five or six fishing villages of the remnants of Middle-earth who are unwilling to move into Tangfang to do business.

She still remembered that the reason why Ah Chi was sent to the temple by his parents was to be selected by the monk to be a beautiful waiter.

Although he himself did not know.

The poor rural mountain people have no room to rise at all.

They had no choice but to send their youngest son into the monastery to be a waiter. It is possible to give the people in the family the opportunity to read and read the Bible. Only then will you have the opportunity to take the exam and obtain the monk's degree.

In a remote place like Tsukushi, far away from the capital of Heian, the children of poor families were able to obtain legal monk qualifications in large monasteries, which was almost comparable to that of the Great Song Dynasty.

"Aji, I have a girl I like."

She still remembered that Ah Chi had said such things to her in earnest.

Shy.

He's not like his parents. He had no hope of becoming a monk. He also did not want to qualify as an ascetic Mahayana Buddhist monk.

He just wanted to learn to read and write, recite scriptures, learn a little bit of monk's medical skills, and then go back to the village to be a wild monk who could marry a wife and have children.

He dreamed of being able to survive the dead for the villagers, treat diseases, and be worshiped by the villagers so that he could be fed, clothed, and clothed.

That's his greatest wish.

As for him speaking to her suddenly. A girl he liked in the village. It was an interesting accident.

Ten years ago, before she entered the temple, she knew that the monks in the temple would buy beautiful little boys outside.

Therefore, she has always been curious about whether Ah Chi understands the special purpose of being a waiter.

She talked to him from time to time, knocking on the side, but was misunderstood by this precocious but still simple boy:

He thought she secretly liked him.

"Aji, I'm sorry, although you're fine too. But I have people I like. When I learn to recite the scriptures, I will go back to the village and marry her. ”

At that time, she was ten years old. In the face of this kind of loyal confession he shyly said, he really couldn't react other than being speechless.

So, she also felt in her heart:

If she could, she should try to help him once.

His wish is only to learn to recite scriptures, just to be with his favorite girls.

So she risked being misunderstood by him and stalked him, and from time to time she gathered around him to remind him. ：

The slab house she lived in was very dilapidated and leaned against the temple wall. So there's a tanuki earthen wall hole behind the slab house that you can drill out of. Just jump out of her window. I could see the hole where I had escaped.

And the four little female temple slaves who live in the same house always go out in the middle of the night to steal food. Not at all.

So, she can play with him if she wants to.

They can sneak out of the temple in the middle of the night and play in the woods outside, and they can build a treehouse to hide and hide.

At the age of ten, of course, he insisted on refusing this kind of "female temptation".

He didn't go to her house once. Although usually he often speaks Song with her and plays with her.

And that night, she saw that the then lord of the liao suddenly returned, and he summoned Ah Chi and three other handsome little temple slaves.

He called the four of them into the courtyard and told them to get ready to take a bath. The owner of the liao actually boiled a large bucket of hot water for them, and arranged for Bolai Dasong soap made of Buddha incense.

That's when she knew:

A steward monk fell in love with Ah Chi.

He will come to her for the girl he likes.

But that night, she didn't open the door.

Although she was protected by the old monk Kongming, the lord would not come to search her house for no reason.

The four little female temple slaves who live together, they will also take advantage of this convenience to eat secretly every day, in case they are discovered, they will all push it on her. Anyway, the owner won't do anything to her.

But something big happened at the time.

The four small temple slaves selected by the liao master to take a bath and change clothes are gone.

He had been preparing for a long time to send them into the monk's house as attendants, and the four beautiful boys all fled.

Angry and frustrated, and worried that he would not be able to explain to the monks, the lord secretly found the leader of the monks. So, hundreds of monks surrounded and rummaged through the entire back temple, and they began to look for people in front of the house and behind the house.

And in her house, there is San Lang Ji Chenhu hidden.

That night, nine-year-old Ji Chenhu once again walked twenty miles of mountain road and came to Zhuma Temple in the middle of the night. He came to see her from a tanuki hole outside the temple.

He was always worried about whether she had been cursed by the monk. After a few days of inspection, he was relieved.

So no matter how Ah Chi hid outside the window on the other side and cried, she covered Saburo's mouth and didn't make a sound.

She knows too well:

The four boys in Achi were the most beautiful in the temple at that time. If he can't find it, the owner will definitely find another boy to replace him.

She couldn't take that risk.

You must know that although Ji Chenhu is a big man when he grows up, what impresses people since he was a child is his fierce look.

But as long as he keeps his mouth shut, doesn't play drunkenness and doesn't fight, others will know when they look at his face:

He and her Ji Qingchen were really born by the same mother.

As long as he wears a crown in his hair and wears a robe and jade, even if he stands with Xu Shuqing, the best-looking girl in Tang Fang, the Song merchants will praise them for being a natural pair.

She still remembered that Saburo's mouth was stuffed with the oil-faced Buddha fruit she had stolen, and she covered him so that he could barely breathe, and he was so suffocated that he glared at her.

She remembered the beating sound of Ah Chi in the corner of the wall that was gradually despairing and finally disappeared.

Also, his cries.

Ten years later, with the favor of the steward monk he received when he was young, although he could not shave the seat and become a monk, he also became the steward of the temple slave liao.

His parents and family also found shelter in the village.

I just don't know, is the girl he liked back then still waiting for him in the village? Did she follow the agreement with him at the beginning, and when he got three bags of corn in the Zhuma Temple, he would learn chanting and medicine, he

You can carry corn to her house during the day, and go to her house at night to get married and spend the night...... (To be continued)
