Sitting in front of the stall, chatting casually with the old man opposite, this is a bamboo taker who sells bamboo baskets and bamboo cages.

Lu Ning led the topic to Qi Ren, but the old man was at a loss, obviously for him, it was a very distant thing that had nothing to do with his life, he only hoped that this time he would come all the way to Omiya Town to sell the bamboo baskets that his family had cut bamboo and had been weaving for a long time, etc., which could be sold out quickly and sold at a good price.

Lu Ning bowed slightly, many of the people of the lower classes are like this.

In the distance, the cheers one after another, far away, Lu Ning also saw that on the high bamboo pole, a woman wearing a tall white hat and a snow-white wide-sleeved kimono, holding a golden folding fan, was dancing on the bamboo pole, as the bamboo pole swayed, she sometimes bounced slightly, looking thrilling, but it could always land steadily on the bamboo pole, the cheers of the onlookers were getting louder and louder, and the people watching the excitement were gathering more and more.

The integration of acrobatics into dance is extremely rare for today's white pai female artists, and it is no wonder that the applause is earth-shattering, and even attracts half of the town's people to watch.

Lu Ning took out the usual banknotes and said to the old man: "I have covered you with these." ”

The old man was immediately at a loss, and Lu Ning smiled: "You send these bamboo cages and bamboo baskets to the security station, and these banknotes can be exchanged for copper coins from there." ”

As in history, the Central Plains copper coin is also a legal currency in Dongying, but Lu Ning doesn't think this is a good thing, at least not at this stage, if the banknotes can circulate unimpeded in Dongying.

The old man was speechless, he didn't know whether what Lu Ning said was true or not, watching Lu Ning get up and leave, pondering for a while, he decided to go to the security station to try his luck, feeling that this young man should not be so boring to play tricks on himself.

……

When Lu Ning squeezed to the front of the crowd, the white beat had just jumped off the bamboo pole, and the old man who should have been her father in the field knocked on the bangzi and shouted loudly: "Mingsha Shibu, Mingsha Shibu from He Mei, is about to go to Kyoto to perform, please ask the nobles of Omiya to help a lot!" Aligado's Daddy! Aligado's Daddy! He bowed repeatedly.

The two strong men carrying bamboo poles also bowed to the lively crowd in all directions at this time to say thank you.

Obviously, this is a family combination, and the white patron who has been painstakingly cultivated is going to Kyoto to make a name for himself.

Then the old man held a wooden plate and asked for a reward, which was similar to the rules of the street performers in the Central Plains.

When the old man walked in front of Lu Ning, Lu Ning casually threw two copper coins into the plate, and he always had not many copper coins on his body, these were the only two left.

"Hey, old man! Your daughter's name is Meisha Shikibu, and you are Shikibu-sama? Or is it your loved one who has Shikibe-sama? There was a brutal shout, and from the other side, two tall Dongying warriors squeezed in, walking staggeringly, looking drunk.

Those who can get drunk today are people of great status.

The onlookers immediately coaxed less than half, obviously afraid of these two warriors.

Listen to people I know talking about on the side.,Sure enough,These two,It's the ronin who was taken in by the Takesashi family of the Omiya Shrine.,It's rumored that they killed people in their own country and fled.,Wandered here.,One of the two is called Lisaburo.,One is called Mamoto.,Especially good at fighting.,Just two months ago,Two people teamed up.,Knockdown more than a dozen trouble-making foreign warriors in Honmachi.,And cut off a few of them.,Those foreign warriors.,It's in response to the righteous order to go to Kashima to see if there is a chance to develop.。

The two of them shouted and drank, and when they arrived in front of the old man, their faces were full of unkindness, just to ask the old man's ancestor if he had ever obtained the position of the Shibu Department? Why is her daughter called Mingsha Shibu?

What the two said is reasonable, from the right reason, even if I don't have an official position, I also need a closer relative to have an official position, so that I can add an official title after my name to elevate my status, but generally speaking, this kind of indiscriminate addition of official honorific titles is all the names, and no one has to be more serious.

The two of them obviously drank too much and had nothing to do.

The old man bowed and apologized, and even divided more than half of the reward just now to the two of them, and the two of them gave up and turned to leave.

Looking at the backs of the two of them, the old man sighed, greeted his two sons dejectedly, cleaned up the stall and prepared to leave.

Lu Ning picked up a copper coin on the ground and handed it to the old man, who thanked him again and again: "Thank you, thank you!" He sighed again and said, "It seems that we are not welcome here, we have to leave as soon as possible." ”

In fact, Lu Ning just had a thought, if he disguised himself as a servant and followed the old man's family to Kyoto, maybe he could catch Ono Haogu, or even Emperor Dongying, it would be fun.

Of course, if you think about it casually, of course you won't really go, and it won't help your strategic intentions at all, and it doesn't make much sense.

Listening to the old man's words, Lu Ning smiled: "No, if you go to the street closest to the shrine, there will be no blackmail from these bullies." ”

The old man was slightly stunned, "Why?" ”

Lu Ning said: "There is a street controlled by Qi people, and the law and order are very good, and no one will make trouble." ”

The old man was a little suspicious, looked Lu Ning up and down, and didn't speak, obviously worried that Lu Ning would deceive their family of strangers, get out of the tiger's den, and enter the wolf's den.

His family wants to go to Beijing to make a name for themselves, which is naturally not an ambition that ordinary farmers in the countryside can have, nor is it something that ordinary farmers can put into action.

Ordinary peasant families can't cultivate excellent dancing girls, and those excellent dancing girls who were born in ordinary peasant families were sold to opera troupes and the like in childhood.

The old man's family even had an ox cart with a trailer, and the girl named Mingsha hid in the carriage after jumping off the bamboo pole.

At this time, the crisp voice of the woman in the carriage was "Father".

The old man walked over and talked with his daughter through the window.

The old man walked back, looked at Lu Ning twice, and said with a smile: "My name is the president, dare to ask Xiao Langjun's name?" ”

Lu Ning said: "Call me Da Lang." ”

The old man was a little surprised, so he took out a few Wen stuff from the plate and gave it to Lu Ning, "Da Langjun, please lead the way,"

Lu Ning didn't take the copper coin, but thinking that he was also about to go to the palace, he bowed slightly, "Okay, you come with me." ”

The old man's two sons put away the small drum, bamboo flute and other musical instruments, and then led the ox cart and walked forward with Lu Ning.

Although Lu Ning was tall, he didn't show his muscles, and he was close, the old man looked at his back and shook his head repeatedly, muttering something, it was a dialect, and Lu Ning didn't understand.

A crisp woman's low voice sounded in the carriage, "Father, don't say that, Hercules is performing, we can find it all the way." The voice was very low, it was instructed by his father, but Lu Ning's ears were sensitive and he could hear clearly.

Lu Ning pondered as he walked, he naturally wouldn't go to Kyoto with them, but they were looking for Hercules? It is not bad to choose a few of the samurai to go with them, and if you encounter particularly important news, you can send someone back to report the news.

Before Kyoto decided to expel the "Qi Kou", Qi merchants in Kyushu and other places had long ceased to go, and every time there was a major change, one of the few small works that had been buried in Kyoto had to find a way to leave and pass on the news.
