Liu Ximing and Li Biao stood at the entrance of the long street behind the government office with a basket on their backs, looking at the long street that was more prosperous than the market square and was a little surprised, thinking that it was close to the yamen and the residential area of the rich, and this street was mostly selling luxury goods such as silk and satin, clothes and hats, and calligraphy and paintings.

Most of the pedestrians on the street are also dressed gorgeously, and the worst is fine cloth clothes, and Liu Ximing and the two look out of place in this dress.

"Poor ghost dodge!"

An abrupt voice came from behind him, and then a heavy pair of hands pushed Liu Ximing away from the side of the street, and Liu Ximing stumbled and almost fell.

You! Liu Ximing turned his head and glared angrily at the visitor.

The person behind him was dressed in blue-black family clothes, raised his head and snorted, turned his head and nodded behind his back: "Master, please." ”

A short middle-aged man in red silk and yarn didn't look at Liu Ximing and walked straight forward.

Liu Ximing stood up and was about to theorize, but he heard the sound of horses' hooves behind him, and a whip sounded in the air. Liu Ximing had a thrill in his heart, and subconsciously dodged to the side, only to see a horsewhip thrown straight past him, a horse and a cyan figure trotting past him, but the two masters and servants in front of him did not dodge, and were knocked down on the side of the street with a scream.

Liu Ximing escaped the catastrophe, and he was terrified, but he also burst into flames. If it weren't for the fact that I have been drinking spiritual water recently, my body's reaction speed has increased greatly, and I would have either been whipped or hit by a horse just now.

Grass your mother, Liu Ximing just wanted to scold, but saw the knight look back, and when Liu Ximing saw the big red mandarin duck jacket on the man, he was immediately frightened, and he was just about to take it back, I don't know where this is the soldiers and horses, what's the urgency?

The knight neither stopped nor slowed down his horse, still running forward with a straight glare, obviously not taking Liu Ximing and the pair of master and servant seriously.

The bustling long street suddenly became chaotic, and the screams of women and children were everywhere, and it was not until the knight was gone that they all calmed down, and a few pedestrians dared not speak in anger when they were knocked down.

Li Biao was lucky, Xu has a long-term sense of wealth and poverty, and as soon as he went to the street, he stood on the side of the street, just escaped a catastrophe. Liu Ximing was still laughing at him in his heart before, how do you know that people are so special to have a sense of crisis.

The pair of master and servant were even more miserable, lying on the ground and screaming, both of them were hit and covered in blood, seeing Liu Ximing silently and darkly, half of the original anger was gone. Seeing that they were all victims, Liu Ximing thought about it and was kind enough to pull the rich man along, but the middle-aged man glanced at it with difficulty and turned his head and scolded: "Poor ghost, stay away, Kong Bo, you don't come to help me quickly!" ”

Liu Ximing was a dog in his heart, and said angrily: "Those who insult others will be humiliated, old ghost, today is a lesson from God!" Regardless of him continuing to scold there, he turned around and pulled Li Biao away.

But my heart is very sad, what's wrong with this world?

The powerful bully the unpowered, the rich bully the poor, the poor bully the poorer, and the whole society has no sense of security, so the only thing to do is to climb up desperately and occupy more resources, resulting in a vicious circle.

The point is that these people are still enjoying it, and everyone takes it for granted, and they really don't know the smell of being in the dung pit for a long time.

Just like this pair of master and servant, Liu Ximing can be sure that they will not feel that it is a big deal to be bullied by the powerful, but if they are scolded by him, they may be regarded as a great shame!

This is so different from the big cute in my heart!

After such a fuss, Liu Ximing didn't have too much mind to wander around, thinking that he had made a lot of money today, and he had negotiated a big customer in a restaurant, and the debt crisis should be solved, and Liu Chen, Liu Xixian, and Liu Xi'an appeared in front of him with patched clothes.

"Brother Biao, let's go buy a few pieces of cloth and bring some food for Aunt Wu." Liu Ximing said to Li Biao.

Since there are sellers of silk and satin on this street, there must also be shops selling cloth. Liu Ximing and the others didn't go far, and sure enough, they saw a cloth shop called Yiqinghe.

The shopkeeper of this store didn't look down on them because of what the two of them were wearing, and said to Liu Ximing with a smile: "What do the two little brothers want?" ”

Li Biao saw that all the fine muslin cloths were bought in this store, and he stood behind Liu Ximing without saying a word, and the shopkeeper didn't know who the real buyer was.

Liu Ximing arched his hand and said: "The shopkeeper's business is prosperous, dare to ask how all kinds of cloth are sold?" ”

"Hehe, thank you Ji Yan, the fine white cloth sold in the small shop is one dollar and six cents a horse, and the woven and dyed cloth is two dollars a horse, like this most delicate five dollars a horse, what kind of guest officer wants?"

Rub, the fine cloth is really much more expensive than the coarse cloth, before listening to the market sales, the coarse cloth is only seven or eight cents.

But at this time, Liu Ximing had money in his pocket and could buy it, and after thinking about the four people in the family, the three brothers were not yet adults, and it didn't cost too much to make clothes, so he said: "In this case, the red, blue, and cyan muslin will each have a horse." ”

The Ming Dynasty was actually a dynasty with a very strict hierarchy, Zhu Yuanzhang not only set up the social strata clearly when he founded the country, but also made it clear what clothes and what colors each stratum worn, like this kind of clothing made of red fabric, in the early Ming Dynasty, the common people were never allowed to wear it, but with the development of the commodity economy, these regulations were gradually abolished in the middle of the Ming Dynasty.

"Yo, Chenghui, six coins of silver!" The shopkeeper smiled all of a sudden, thinking that he was a mere teenager, at most he was instructed by his family to buy a few feet of cloth to the sky, who knew that it was still a big business.

Liu Ximing snorted his teeth, even if he thought about it before deciding to buy it, he still felt that the back tooth socket was bitten, and waved his hand to let Li Biao count six hundred wen from the back basket.

Shopkeeper!!! ，？？？

Liu Ximing,!!! ，？？？

The shopkeeper and Liu Ximing stared at each other for a while, understanding that most of this kid didn't understand the market, so he couldn't help but laugh and said: "Guest officer, now the market price is 1,500 wen to exchange for one tael of silver, you are still bad, let me see, 300 wen." ”

Liu Ximing had 10,000 grass and mud horses running over in his heart, and there was this kind of operation! I've been selling food for a day, and I'm not going to be exploited by your inflation yet! Mori!

But no matter how angry he was, thinking about his family, Liu Ximing still gritted his teeth and counted three hundred more texts, this time Li Biao went back easily, and the copper coins in the back basket were less than half!

But the money was spent, but there was nothing to say about the service purchased, the shopkeeper beckoned them to rest and drink tea, and asked Xiao Er to quickly wrap the cloth carefully with coarse paper layer by layer.

With just a cup of tea, Liu Ximing looked at the neat package in his hand and was very satisfied, and he and Li Biao packed up and walked out.

"Thank you for your patronage!"

Well, this cute store has a bit of a modern service feeling!

Liu Ximing looked on the street, thinking about the silk market in the Ming Dynasty, but as soon as he arrived at the door, the little two in the silk shop waved his hand impatiently: "Go out, go out, can you buy anything here?" ”

"Hey, I'm so grumpy, you dare to look down on people." Liu Xi said angrily.

"Hehe, we have the cheapest silk cloth here, you can come in at will!"

MMP, who specializes in dogs, hates you stuff the most, and I really want to buy it. Liu Ximing said stiffly: "What's the matter if you don't have money today, when you have money when you turn around, you won't buy it here!" ”

"Hehe, the poor ghost still wants to put on a façade!" Before the second child could speak, another voice came from behind him, accompanied by a woman's chuckle.

Liu Ximing turned his head to see that a pot-bellied old man was wearing a square scarf, a red and blue cross-collared silk robe, and a gorgeous woman in his hand. As soon as Xiao Er saw this person hurriedly walked out of the counter, he bent down and said with a smile: "Master Huang, please, today is really an auspicious day for the zodiac, rare and rare!" ”

The man didn't look at Liu Ximing, and before he entered the door, he waved his big hand arrogantly: "Today, Master Ben is happy, and the little lady will wrap up everything that the little lady likes later!" The gorgeous woman suddenly smiled.

"Ouch, Master Huang, this is not a joke for me, how can you come to my small shop to buy silk cloth from your old man." Before Xiao Er could say a word, a short and fat middle-aged man came out of the store, smiling at this old man Huang while making a fuss.

This old man Huang was about to reply, but at this time, a discordant voice came: "Old man, poor and pitiful, let's send it away!" A little girl in ragged clothes and unkempt hair came up at some point, and looked at the man pitifully.

As soon as the old man surnamed Huang saw this beggar, he immediately changed color, and he dodged to the side not very sensitively, for fear that his hands would touch him, and kicked the little girl to the ground.

The gorgeous woman also shouted next to her: "Where did you come from, called Hanako, do you have to pay for such expensive clothes?" ”

Seeing the man surnamed Huang scolding angrily, the shopkeeper hurriedly rushed out and poked the girl with his foot, and yelled in a vicious tone: "Who told you to come to my store, hurry up, you can't afford to pay for your cheap life if you collide with the nobleman!" ”

"Bastard"

Liu Ximing listened to the man surnamed Huang sneering before, originally thinking that more things are better than less, but now seeing this scene, where can he bear it, he threw the package in his hand into Li Biao's arms, kicked him down with a flying kick, and immediately attached himself to pick up the little girl and ran away.

Li Biao was clever at this time, and when he came to his senses, he ran forward, leaving only the three people who didn't react to stay there, and after a while, scolding and moaning continued to come from behind Liu Ximing.

Liu Ximing ran out of the street with the little girl in his arms before stopping, and when he looked back and saw Li Biao following tightly, he couldn't help laughing.

It's really refreshing, and a lot of the evil qi from before seems to be emitted.

Seeing that no one was chasing after him, Liu Ximing put the girl down. The girl was estimated to be about ten years old, and although she was dirty and unkempt, she was very sensible, and even though she was kicked, she was not seen crying.

Liu Ximing's heart softened, and he took out ten yuan from his arms: "Oh, this is for you, take it to buy some food." ”

"Thank you, young master" The girl saw that Liu Ximing was not a bad person, and accepted the money and thanked him timidly.

"Hehe, I'm not a young master, now my family is poor, I can only help you so much. You can do it yourself, don't go there again these days. Liu Ximing rubbed her hair and beckoned Li Biao to get up and leave.

The girl silently watched Liu Ximing and the two walk away, and suddenly heard someone calling for herself, turned around and ran towards a group of teenagers dressed as beggars like her.

"Qiaoman, what were those two going to do to you just now?" A boy who seemed to be the leader of the teenager asked vigilantly, originally a group of beggars they often begged together, but who knew that just now on the long street he had just finished begging for a scholar, and when he turned his head, he saw Liu Ximing running out with Qiaoman in his arms, and then beckoned all the beggars to hurry up.

The girl named Qiaoman had a smile on her face: "They are good people, oh, that young master also rewarded me with ten cents, we can buy food!" ”

Although the boy still had doubts, the other beggars cheered, and the boy had no choice but to follow the group of them to the bun shop.
