4. Mulberry paper

On a foggy day, the silk spring rain was densely collected in the air, and it was invisible, but the delicate and silent moisture washed the blue bricks and stone slabs, and Miao Fan felt that his collar and back were also wet. Miss Huang was only a foot wide from him, she opened her arms, and the green sleeves of her coat spilled down, like the green willow in the wall, and the graceful willow branches hung out of the wall, swaying and swaying with the breeze, like a beautiful woman beckoning.

Miss Huang chuckled, her eyes full of mockery of "you don't dare", and beckoned to him: "If you want a purse, come and get it." ”

Miao Fan froze, lowered his eyes and lips, whispered a scripture, and suddenly stretched out his hand and grabbed her chest. She didn't expect this little monk to dare to make a move, she was stunned for a while, and when she reacted, she quickly retracted her arms to protect her chest, but it was too late, and he opened her clothes.

She was ashamed: "You ......"

Miao Fan's movements were indecent, but his face still maintained a desireless expression, his hand didn't know how to pity the fragrance and cherish the jade, and he felt her softness when he pounced, and he stopped for a moment. But soon, he found the purse, grabbed it and pulled it out.

"Ahh

Miss Huang screamed, hurriedly clasped her arms the moment he let go, and squatted down in embarrassment. It happened so suddenly, and the scene just now flashed like a flash of lightning, and her mind was still buzzing, asking herself repeatedly in disbelief.

- Did he do it? Really hands-on? Did he touch her?

Really touched her!

She blushed angrily, like a pear blossom dyed with rouge, three points more delicate than a peach blossom, and a pair of beautiful eyes sprayed with anger, which could burn Miao Fan. Everyone's beautiful style was gone, and she rubbed the ground and yelled at him, her fingertips pointing to his nose: "You bald ruffian!" ”

Scolding was not enough, she raised her slap and threw it over, leaving red finger prints on Miao Fan's white face.

Miao Fan was slapped, still sullen and stunned, he put the purse back on his body, and then gave her a light salute, not angry or angry: "How offended, farewell." "I don't seem to be apologetic. Also, she snatched his purse first, teased him later, even if he did something that didn't seem appropriate, it wasn't his original intention. The monk is not close to women, and his body will not have evil thoughts when he touches his body, he only has the Buddha and the Bodhisattva in his heart, so what do you mind about it, although he is honest and willing to let people, but he is not a loss to eat.

But Miss Huang was dizzy, her chest rose and fell, her throat and eyes were bubbling out, and thousands of ways to break him into pieces flashed in her heart. This monk looks serious, how can he be like this Meng Lang! Bah! Sanctimonious scoundrel, see if she doesn't abolish him!

She pounced angrily, but she pounced, Miao Fan had already walked out of the alley along the way with her purse, she didn't even grab a point from the corner of his clothes, but fell to the ground because she pounced too quickly. She didn't have time to get up, and all she looked up and fell into her eyes was the Luohan shoes under Miao Fan's feet, stepping on the cold bricks and stones, and there were a few drops of mud on the soles of the sloppy shoes, as if it was a small face with smiling eyebrows, grinning at her. She was so angry that she threw her reserve behind him and scolded the stinky monk and threatened, "Dirty embryo!" Grandma, I want you to look good! You kind of don't go! Don't go—"

Miao Fan walked out of the alley, and disappeared with a flick of his fingers, and after a while, Xiaohe walked in and saw Miss Huang standing up with her legs propped up, her face calm and her teeth gritted, looking very angry, and her clothes were dirty. She hurried over to help her pat the mud off her body, "What's wrong with the girl?" Stumbled? ”

Miss Huang gritted her teeth and looked at the direction where Miao Fan disappeared, and spit out a few words hatefully: "Count me in!" ”

Xiaohe didn't know about the thrilling scene here just now, and smiled to help her tidy up her dress, "What can't be planted, isn't it just a fall!" What's the big deal, okay girl, let's go back quickly, Uncle Lu and they are all in a hurry. ”

An ordinary inn in Jianing County is inhabited by three or four groups of people from other places, one of whom is a young lady from a large family in Yongzhou, who said that she was going to Beijing to visit relatives, accompanied by a maid, a groom, and an old housekeeper. In the evening, the kitchen cooked the food, and the shopkeeper personally brought it to the lady's room, and found that the old housekeeper was also there, sitting face to face with the lady. The maid took the meal and gave the money, smiled sweetly and sent the shopkeeper out of the house, and quickly closed the door.

Miss is naturally Miss Huang, the maid is a little lotus like a dumpling rice ball, and as for the old housekeeper, it is Uncle Lu in their mouths.

When there were only three of them left in the room, Miss Huang took out the paper under the bag, one foot long and six inches wide, the paper was a thick mulberry paper, on which the number was printed with the ticket number, and the edge was painted with auspicious patterns. It turned out to be a Jiaozi coin. She held Jiaozi close to the candle, and through the candlelight, some other patterns appeared faintly on the mulberry paper, as if they were the marks of the money bank, and once she left the candle, these marks were gone. She smiled: "Uncle Lu's craftsmanship is really amazing, this Jiaozi is more real than the real thing." ”

Master Lu waved his hand modestly: "That is to fool the layman, once it is brought to the money bank to exchange, it will definitely be exposed." ”

Xiaohe was surprised when she heard this: "What is the truth of this?" Isn't the money bank redeeming money when it sees a friend? ”

"Of course not." Master Lu said, "Jiaozi first rose in the people, and it was inconvenient for people who went out to do business to walk around with silver taels, so a method arose in Shuzhong, where they exchanged silver for Jiaozi in the local bank, and then took Jiaozi to other places, as long as they met the same business name of the bank, they could redeem the cash. Although the method is good, but there are also inappropriate, if someone imitates Jiaozi to exchange money, the shopkeeper can't recognize the money to that person, what can I do? ”

Xiaohe shook his head: "This is not good, I also want to get these, but Jiaozi uses special mulberry paper, which cannot be bought outside, and the ink for writing is also boiled with a secret recipe, which does not melt when exposed to water, and it is also printed with dark flowers, where is it so easy to imitate!" Only Uncle Lu's skillful hands can do it, and I can't think of a second person. ”

Master Lu smiled: "You also think too highly of me, as the saying goes, there are people outside the mountain, I have done it, others have done it, it is not enough to rely on paper and dark flowers to identify recognition, Qian Zhuang has another set of methods." Look here. He pointed to a line of words on the Jiaozi for Xiaohe to see, Xiaohe struggled to recognize it for a long time, and wondered, "Shouxi Fulu Caijiwang Xiangrui...... It's nothing, isn't it just an ordinary auspicious word! ”

Master Lu shook his head, "This is not an ordinary good word to please the lottery, but a code word between the shopkeepers of the money bank." Do you think, I'm going to exchange the Jiaozi, the shopkeepers in different places are different, and they can't meet and greet each other immediately, how can I know the authenticity of the Jiaozi in my hand? So he marked the face of the ticket and told the other party some news, which is the code as the saying goes. For example, my Jiaozi went to Qianzhuang on the eighth day of the second month of the year of the Emperor's year, and the ticket wrote the eighth day of the second month, so the order of the words Fulu Suxi should be symmetrical on the corresponding day, if it is not right, it is a fake Jiaozi. Another example is the Jiaozi of two hundred taels of silver, and the mark should also correspond to this number. First of all, the number corresponds to the code, if it is a cross poem 'the bright moon and pine shine, the clear spring stone is upstream', from one to ten are in order to correspond to the words in the poem, and one hundred million corresponds to A, B, C, D, and E respectively, and the combination should be printed in the 'month, C' two words as a mark, the number and the mark match, is a genuine Jiaozi. Anyway, the money village has its own rules and methods, and the code is also changed frequently, in case outsiders snoop on, and no one else can know it. ”

"My goodness!" Xiaohe smacked his tongue, "This is too tightly guarded, how can others take advantage of loopholes......"

Master Lu couldn't help laughing, "What you want is that others can't take advantage of loopholes." ”

Xiaohe was worried for a moment, and said to Miss Huang: "Girl, you gave that handover to the son of the county order family today, if he takes it to the money bank to redeem, won't we be exposed?" The money will be wasted! ”

"Not necessarily." Miss Huang raised her head and eyes, her slender jade fingers twisted the mulberry paper, hooked her lips and smiled beautifully, "We are not deceived this time, but it is not Qian Zhuang." ”

Master Lu also laughed: "Yes, we don't cheat Qianzhuang." ”

Xiaohe blinked dumbfounded-don't cheat Qianzhuang? Where does the money come from?

At this moment, there was a knock on the door outside, Xiaohe vigilantly asked who it was, and the person who came replied in a low voice: "I'm Ah Piao, open the door quickly!" ”

Xiaohe hurriedly opened the door and let him in, only to see that Ah Piao was a young man in his twenties, dressed as a groom, but he couldn't hide his shrewdness. He is not tall, thin, and has a mediocre appearance, but his eyes are extraordinarily bright, and his eyes are turned up, which is called a smart one. Ah Piao took off the cloth towel on his head when he entered the door, grabbed the teapot on the table, bit the spout and drank a fine drink, wiped his mouth before laughing, "As we expected, that kid came out of the prison and went straight to the Wynn Money Village in the city." ”

Xiaohe exclaimed loudly: "He went to redeem the money?!" ”

Ah Piao smiled and shook his head: "He came out in a quarter of an hour, empty-handed, I saw him thoughtful, walking with his head down, eighty percent thinking about something, and then he rode back to the county office, and I came back." ”

Hearing this, Master Lu and Miss Huang both breathed a sigh of relief and smiled at each other.

Ah Piao was very excited: "I think this matter is already eight to nine, girl, let's prepare for the next step?" ”

Xiaohe still didn't know why: "Didn't the shopkeeper of the money village tell him that the Jiaozi was fake?" Brother Piao, what do you say next, what is the next step? ”

The three of them didn't answer Xiaohe, but waited for her to think about it herself. Some things are too clear, it will lose interest, since Xiaohe has entered this industry, he must figure out the middle doorway, but many things can be stopped immediately, tell her too much and she will have no understanding, the so-called master leads the door, and the practice is in the individual.
