Xia Chen watched coldly, really hoping that the pu fan in his hand could become a banana fan, and directly fanned the rat-eyed man to outer space.

Uncle Li cried with a sad face, and squeezed out a sentence from between his teeth. "Okay, sixty is sixty." When you meet such a customer, you can only admit that you are unlucky, but beg him to send him away quickly.

The rat-eyed man patted the dust on his hands, untied the money bag on his waist: "One, two, three......" counted sixty coins very carefully and handed it to Uncle Li.

Uncle Li accepted the money, turned around and pulled over the two bags made of straw ropes, and prepared to load the melons.

The rat-eyed man stretched out his hand: "Wait a minute." As he spoke, he stepped over the melon basket and rummaged through the stack of bags.

Old Master Li was stunned for a moment and said, "This young master, what are you doing here?" ”

The rat-eyed man said: "I have to pick a few sturdy ones, otherwise I will break halfway, and you will pay if you break the melon?" ”

Uncle Li almost wanted to cry without tears: "This young master, although our bag is simple, it is strong enough." ”

The rat-eyed man snorted lightly and picked out four bags: "Just these are a few, divide them evenly and pack them with me." ”

"Ahem! Cough. Xia Chen was angry for a while, thinking that this rat-eyed man's heart and eyes were not as big as ants.

Finally sent the two away, Uncle Li shook his head with a wry smile: "The person who wears it looks like a dog, how can he have such a face, obviously the two bags are properly packed." ”

Xia Chen shook his fan and said lazily: "Mu Monkey and crown, calculated to such an extent!" As the saying goes, taking advantage of a small advantage will suffer a big loss, and this person will not wait sooner or later. "If I am with such a person, I can't stand it for a minute.

Uncle Li scratched his head: "Chen'er, what kind of monkey did you say?" What is the meaning? ”

Xia Chen said with a smile: "That is to say, although the monkey is shrewd, even if it is dressed and crowned, it is still a monkey, not a human being!" ”

"Hahaha." Uncle Li laughed a few times: "Chen'er is better." ”

As soon as Xia Chen thought of the appearance of the rat-eyed man, he really looked like a monkey in a juggling class, and laughed out loud: "Grandpa Li, this is what the book says." ”

The melons were sold out just after noon, and there were only four or five cracked ones left. Uncle Li smiled and reached into the money bag and touched it again: "Your grandfather should come over, let's pack up and wait for him to come over for dinner." ”

"Hmm." Xia Chen got up to sort out the remaining straw rope bags, which had just been messed up by the rat-eyed man, she lifted the two bags and shook them off, and a palm-sized blue satin pocket fell out. It looked very much like the rat-eyed man's money bag, and he bent down to pick it up and felt heavy.

Xia Chen opened it and saw that there was a large handful of copper coins in her pocket, as well as a small ingot of silver and a few pieces of broken silver, and she unconsciously exclaimed: "Ah! ”

When Uncle Li heard her shouting, he hurriedly turned his head and asked, "Piercing your hands?" Seeing Xia Chen's pocket, he leaned over and asked, "Chen'er, where did this come from?" ”

Xia Chen whispered: "Just pick it up in the pile of bags, Grandpa Li, there are a lot of copper coins and silver here!" "Under the conditions of my grandmother's house, a child like her usually rarely even has copper coins, let alone silver, not to mention ingots.

Uncle Li looked surprised, took the money bag and counted it: "Forty-five cents, one ingot and two taels of silver, plus these broken silver, almost three and a half, must have been dropped by a rich man." ”

Xia Chen just wanted to ask him why he was so accurate, but suddenly someone asked: "Dare to ask the two, how to go to Wenxing Academy?" ”

Uncle Li hurriedly stuffed the money bag into Xia Chen's hand and turned around, and saw a middle-aged man in a dark blue wide-sleeved robe, standing in front of the melon basket and bowing to him.

Xia Chen turned his hand behind his back and glanced around, just a dozen steps behind the middle-aged man, a carriage was parked, and a young man with a white jade hair crown on his head and a white collared soft brocade swallow dress was standing next to the car, looking at this side.

Xia Chen thought to himself that he was probably with this middle-aged man, and this young man was tall, handsome, and extremely pleasing to the eye with a white suit of Saixue, so he couldn't help but take a few more looks.

The young man found that she was looking at herself, nodded and smiled slightly, suddenly like a warm jade fragrance, Langyue was in her arms, like a beautiful boy who was fake, Xia Chen also smiled politely back.

Mr. Li pointed to Xiaoliu Street and said to the middle-aged man: "Go in from this street and keep walking, turn east at the first intersection, and look at it when you reach the end." ”

The middle-aged man thanked him, turned around and walked towards the white-clothed young man, stepped forward and said a few words, the young man nodded and got into the carriage, and the middle-aged man drove away.

Xia Chen watched the carriage leave: "They should be outsiders, otherwise Wenxing Academy is so famous, how could they not find it." ”

"Hmm." Uncle Li also retracted his gaze as he spoke, and while dropping the melon baskets together, he sighed: "This is called a person with status, who speaks so politely." ”

Xia Chen smiled: "It's much stronger than the one who is dressed like a flower pheasant." ”

Uncle Li laughed: "Yes, yes." ”

At this time, Han Yi walked over quickly: "The melons are all sold?" After unloading the forage, he helped the county government repair the back door before sending the horse to the blacksmith shop, and there were many people and it was delayed for a while. Let's find a place to eat. ”

As if he suddenly remembered something, Uncle Li pulled Han Yi to his side: "Brother Han, Chen'er picked up a money bag, you said it ......"

Han Yi saw the blue satin and silver-rimmed pocket in Xia Chen's hand: "How much money is in it?" ”

Uncle Li whispered: "But it's a lot, dozens of dollars and three or four taels of silver." ”

Han Yi thought for a moment: "The person who lost the money must be in a hurry, why don't we wait here for a while?" If no one comes to look for us after half an hour, we will go again. ”

Xia Chen thought of the rat-eyed man's calculating appearance, and he really didn't want to pay him back, and besides, the money could make his grandmother's family live a comfortable life for a long time.

"Grandfather, Chen'er feels that waiting is in vain, if the person who lost the money wants to find it, he should have come a long time ago." Han Yi is an honest and honest person, if she tells her true thoughts, she will only get a bunch of preaching.

Han Yi said: "The owner may not have found out yet, Chen'er, we can't take this ill-gotten wealth lightly." Do you think that if this money bag is yours, will you be in a hurry if you lose it? Maybe it's life-saving money. ”

Xia Chen sat down on the brick: "Then wait." "If you don't steal or rob, how can it be counted as ill-gotten gain? If this money bag is really the rat-eyed man's, this money is definitely not used to save lives.

Uncle Li said: "Brother Han, you and Chen'er are waiting here first, I'll go over there to buy some sugar cubes for Chen'er, there are still two melons left, you eat to quench your thirst first." ”

Han Yi said: "Brother Li, what kind of candy to buy, just eat melons here." ”

was polite, the rat-eyed man came here with a few people before, only to see him look anxious, and kept instructing a few of his subordinates to rummage around, and asked what people were asking.

Xia Chen scolded secretly: "He really found it!" In other words, ordinary people can only admit that they are unlucky if they lose money, and there are a few like Han Yi who pick up money and don't carry it out of their own pockets.

Han Yi also noticed the commotion not far away, looked at it for a while and said, "Why is this money bag his?" ”

Mr. Li said: "He has come to buy melons before, and he has also picked bags from the bag pile. ”

Han Yi said: "Chen'er, put away the money bag, I'll go over and ask." ”

It just so happened that the rat-eyed man had arrived at a stall selling fans next to him, he had seen fans before, but he didn't buy the last one after a while.

As soon as the rat-eyed man waved his hand, several of his subordinates began to flip around without saying a word, and the woman who was so anxious that the fan seller burst into tears.

Han Yi walked over and asked, "What did this young master lose?" ”

When the servant who came with the rat-eyed man heard this, he grabbed Han Yi's wrist: "My young master lost the money bag, you must have picked it up, hand it over quickly." ”

Han Yi's face sank: "I came up to ask when I saw that you seemed to be looking for something." ”

The rat-eyed man glared at the servant: "Don't be rude. Then he smiled and said to Han Yi: "Uncle, I just came home and found that the money bag was missing." I've seen a fan here before, and I've bought melons over there, so it must have fallen near here, I don't know if my husband has ever seen it? ”

Han Yi saw that his attitude was quite polite, and said, "I don't know what kind of money bag you dropped?" ”

The rat-eyed man hurriedly said: "The blue satin is sewn, and the mouth of the bag is embroidered with silver edges, which I bought in Xiuchun Cloth Village half a month ago." If the old man picks it up, he will be grateful. ”

Han Yidao: "How much money is in it?" ”

The rat-eyed man thought for a moment: "There are about five taels of silver, and more than forty copper coins." ”

Han Yi listened to it almost: "My grandson picked up a similar one, you come with me to take a look, but you lost it?" ”

was made a fuss by this rat-eyed man, and many people who were good believers came over to watch. Seeing that Han Yi took the initiative to ask, and wanted to return the money bag, he said, "But I have met a good person." ”

"If you get your money bag back, you can get some points and reward this old man."

"I think it should be divided in half."

The rat-eyed man said, "That's, that's." While following Han Yi to Xia Chen's side.

Xia Chen also listened to it, stood up and took out the money bag, and said lightly: "Let's see if you lost it?" ”

The rat-eyed man snatched it: "It's my money bag." ”

Xia Chen couldn't bear it anymore, and secretly clenched his fists, thinking that if this rat-eyed man didn't thank him, he would make him look good.

At this time, another person said: "What a sensible child, this young master is not quick to thank him for some money to buy candy with him." ”

"Yes, yes."

The rat-eyed man was very happy to find the money bag, and the audience kept urging him to give money and thank him, his face gradually became unhappy, and he opened the money bag and counted it: "I obviously have more than five taels of silver, why is there only more than three taels left, you must have hidden it privately." ”
