Chapter 15: Listening to the Book
The two parted ways at the intersection, Mu Xiang found a place where no one was, stuffed most of the silver into her shirt, and clinged to her underwear, so that it was safe, and the rest of the broken silver was in her small purse and put on her chest. She doesn't worry about tying money to her belt, doesn't she often act on TV? As soon as the thief touches it, as soon as he stretches out his hand, the money on his belt falls into the hands of others, which is too unsafe, this is all her belongings, and it is also her capital, and there must be no mistakes.
At noon, the sun was shining overhead, walking on the street, there was no place to block the sun, Mu Xiang was a little dizzy from the sun, thinking that he had run all morning, he hadn't eaten, in case he was hungry and fainted, and fell on the road, then he would suffer.
I saw a steamed bun shop on the side of the street, and the newly baked steamed buns were steaming hot and full. Thinking that Mu Lang and Caiyun hadn't eaten white bread for a long time, they gritted their teeth and bought twenty, nearly thirty Wen, if they had been put aside, they would have been worth all of Mu Xiang's deposits, but now it is different. Money is earned, not saved by saving alone.
After buying the buns, I saw a grocery store not far away, Mu Xiang put away the buns, took one in his hand and ate while walking, and went to the grocery store.
This store is quite complete, farm tools, daily necessities, everything is available, and even the comb and copper mirror used by the girl are also sold.
Mu Xiang picked up the bronze mirror and looked at it carefully. The clarity of the copper mirror is much worse than that of glass, and the sight of people is also blurry, and it is not as clear as seeing the reflection in the water, but even if it is a rough copper mirror, it is not something that ordinary people can buy. The price of wood incense is actually a tael of silver, it is too expensive, she can do a lot of things for a tael of silver!
After a pillar of incense, when Mu Xiang came out of the grocery store, there was an extra bamboo basket on his back, which was stuffed full, and the salt, soy sauce, and vinegar on the top were all the cheapest things, and it didn't cost 20 wen in total. Jin Ju knew that she had got a tael of silver, and buying these things shouldn't make her suspicious. Under the bamboo basket, there are all good things, the most urgent good things in the house.
Mu Xiang turned the bamboo basket, put it on his back steadily, looked at a few pork stalls in front of him and confiscated them, and picked some fat lard, now the market is about to be boycotted, and the weather is hot and sultry, the owner of the meat stall is anxious to deal with the meat, otherwise there is a peculiar smell, it will be difficult to sell at a high price. Therefore, when she saw that Mu Xiang wanted to buy lard, the boss strongly recommended her to buy pork belly, and she was about to boast that the pork was about to become dragon meat, and gave her a discount, which originally cost forty yuan a catty, and sold it to her for only thirty-five yuan.
Mu Xiang went up and smelled the meat, and made sure that it was fresh, so he took out the money and bought a pound of pork belly. The weather is hot and humid, and it's not time to pickle salty goods, so you can't buy too much, and it's enough to eat a meal.
This will make her a little annoyed that she doesn't have a car, and the ones on her back alone are already very heavy, but she still wants to be able to make the staple food of soybeans and white noodles, otherwise it is difficult to eat cornmeal three times a day? She could, but she didn't want Mu Lang and Caiyun to eat badly.
After thinking about it, she saw that the time was almost up, and she happened to walk to the teahouse where Jin Ju was listening to books, so she was about to go to Jin Ju, and asked her to go home together, and it was a big deal that Ming'er would come again.
At noon, there are not many people who come to listen to books, usually in the evening, and at this time, there are more than a dozen listeners in the teahouse.
Mu Xiang quickly found Jin Ju, pulled her and was about to leave, but instead she was dragged and sat down, she pointed to the white-robed man in a long robe who was spitting on the stage, and said excitedly: "I was about to talk about General Lei's surprise attack on the Canglan White Tiger Clan at the border pass, this paragraph is exciting, let's leave after listening." ”
Jin Ju stared at the storyteller with bright eyes, nervously grabbed Mu Xiang's hand, and Mu Xiang was really surprised, although he knew that this was a little girl who simply worshipped a powerful idol, but Jin Ju was too addicted, right? I haven't even seen a real person, not even a portrait, maybe that person has a fat head and big ears, a voice like a bell, and eyes like a brass bell! Otherwise, how could Canglan's group of nomads have to flee just by hearing his name.
A man who is like a god must have a great appearance like a god.
On the stage, the storyteller was like a river, and the waking wood was clapping.
One will say how heroic and resourceful Helian Sheng is, and another will say that he is outstanding in martial arts, but he is never arrogant and indifferent, but he is loyal and courageous.
Mu Xiang is in a high position, does he dare to be proud? The emperor is not a decoration, under the imperial power, it is all rabbits and dead dogs, who dares to be proud?
As for resourcefulness, I don't know where they see it. The nomadic Cangrun, in the border of the Southern Jin Dynasty for many years, if he was really resourceful, he should have subdued the Canglan people, how could he be wars and wars, rest and fight, labor and money, gains outweigh losses.
No matter what others think, anyway, Mu Xiang is disdainful of this General Lei, but this has nothing to do with her, as long as she guards her one-third of an acre of land, lives a good life, and can have enough food and clothing, it is enough.
In her previous life, she worked hard and pinned her head to her waist, but in this life, she can finally live a stable and steady life, and she hasn't had enough!
Jin Ju was fascinated by what he heard, and his eyes lit up, as if Helian Sheng himself was on the stage. Mu Xiang wanted to go home early, so she had to remind her loudly, "If you don't leave, then I will go back alone, you can watch slowly here!" ”
She stood up to leave, Jin Ju panicked, and saw that today's book was almost finished, so she had to stand up stupidly, "Forget it, that's all it sounds like, I'll listen to it in a few days." ”
Mu Xiang is speechless about her obsession, since these are the words over and over again, what else is there to hear, and if you listen to it again, you can still hear the flowers?
Jin Ju took her hand, and the two walked side by side to the outside of the teahouse, she sighed as she walked, "If I can meet General Lei in my lifetime, it will be worth my death." ”
"What can be seen, you don't even know what he looks like, if according to Mr. Storyteller, General Lei is in his forties, and there must be a lot of wives and concubines in the house, such a man ......" Mu Xiang shook her head. No matter how attractive he is, he is at most a middle-aged uncle. It's not as famous as meeting, if it's really called Jin Ju to see, I'm afraid that I will beat my chest and regret it!
Jin Ju was anxious, stood still, and refused to leave, she decided to give Mu Xiang a good lesson, "Don't talk nonsense, General Lei is only twenty-two years old today, he is the youngest general in our Southern Jin Kingdom, and he is also the youngest first-rank official, in a year, he spends half of his time at the border, so, not to mention his wife and concubine, he doesn't even have a maid in the connecting room, isn't such a man good?" You, I don't know what you're thinking all day long, you go out and ask, a girl of our age, which one is not General Lei, oh yes, I'll tell you quietly......"
