Qin Shaochu returned to the village, and three days passed. Early in the morning, I took Da Hanzi and went to Zhang Tianming's rice shop again. As soon as he arrived at the rice shop, Qin Shaochu asked Zhang Tianming if he had time.

Zhang Tianming explained some things to the shopkeeper and got on the ox cart. The three of them rushed to Jiangnan together. The ox cart drove for more than two hours, and Qin Shaochu and the three of them finally came to this Jiangnan town.

Qin Shaochu looked at this Jiangnan, and remembered that he had read about Jiangnan in textbooks before. Jiangnan, literally means south of the Yangtze River, and in the concept of human geography, it specifically refers to the south of the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River.

From ancient times to the present, "Jiangnan" has always been an ever-changing and flexible regional concept. In different historical periods, the literary imagery of Jiangnan is not the same.

The three of them walked down the street, and the shouts of vendors could be seen everywhere. Qin Shaochu nodded, this Jiangnan is indeed very good, the mountains and rivers are beautiful. The three of them walked for a long time, and Qin Shaochu found that the shops here rarely sold fruits.

Suddenly, Qin Shaochu had an idea in his heart, instead of selling it to others, why not sell it himself? , the more Qin Shaochu thought about it, the more feasible he felt. Just talk to Zhang Tianming about this.

Zhang Tianming listened to Qin Shaochu's words and thought for a while, "Hmm." Brother. That's a good idea. I just don't know, would you like to let me help you? ”

"Brother Zhang, don't worry, let's see if there is a shop first, when the time comes, if I don't have enough money, I will definitely let you help me." Qin Shaochu said euphemistically. I was still a little reluctant to let Zhang Tianming help me.

Zhang Tianming heard Qin Shaochu's euphemistic words, and there was a little hope in his heart.

The three of them began to look in this town, this is where Qin Shaochu saw and found that there was a house, and in front of the house stood an old man arguing with a middle-aged man. Qin Shaochu was a little curious, so he walked over.

"Old guy, I have increased the rent of this shop today, if you can't get the money, then you can get out of me," the middle-aged man looked at the old man in front of him and scolded him loudly.

The old man heard the middle-aged man's words. Shaking his head, "Hey, I really can't come up with so much money, can you please wait for a while." When I have the money, I'll give it to you right away, can you? ”

The middle-aged man spat on his saliva. "Phew, if you can't get the money, just get out of here, or I'll ask someone to clean you up, old fellow."

The old man saw that the middle-aged man did not let go, so he was very anxious and wanted to kneel down and beg him. But at this time, Qin Shaochu came over and helped the old man up. "Grandpa, this kind of person, don't kneel, as soon as you kneel, the more arrogant he becomes."

The middle-aged man saw Qin Shaochu helping the old man up, and he was very unhappy, "Hey, boy, what are you going to do, let me tell you, don't worry about things that shouldn't be taken care of, beware of your own bad luck." ”

The middle-aged man said, looked at the few people behind him, and nodded at a few people. A few people stepped forward.

At this time, Da Hanzi saw it, and walked directly to the front of Qin Shaochu, looking at a few people quietly.

Seeing that the big man was so tall, these people swallowed their saliva and didn't dare to step forward. The middle-aged man also saw the big man's size, and his heart began to hesitate.

At this time, the old man saw that the atmosphere was not right, and hurriedly stepped forward. "Hey, hey, don't make any noise, there is something to discuss, something to say."

"Hehe, say it well, old thing, as long as you can take out the copper coin, then of course we will talk about it."

"This, this," the old man said by the middle-aged man, and he didn't know what to say for a while.

Qin Shaochu saw the old man's anxiety, "Old man, don't worry, I'll help you." ”

When the old man heard Qin Shaochu's words, he hurriedly shook his head, "No, no." This son, how can I ask you to help. ”

When the middle-aged man heard Qin Shaochu's words, his eyes lit up, "Hehe." If you want to help him, then you can get twenty copper coins, and I'll leave immediately. ”

Hearing Twenty Wen, the old man pointed to the middle-aged man, "You." You, used to be ten wen, but now it has risen to twenty wen, you this, this. The old man was very anxious, looked at Qin Shaochu again, and pulled his clothes.

"This son, you better go, these twenty wen are not something that ordinary people can afford. It's too late for you to go. '

"Grandpa, don't worry, I said I would help you, don't worry, I can still get these twenty articles." Qin Shaochu comforted the old man.

called Hanzi, Hanzi came to Qin Shaochu, took out the bag containing the money, and handed it to Qin Shaochu. Qin Shaochu immediately took out twenty copper coins and gave them to the middle-aged man.

Sure enough, as a result, the middle-aged man's face suddenly smiled, "Haha, this son, if you have money, you should give it early, why waste your tongue with us people." After saying that, he left here with a few people.

The old man watched the middle-aged man leave and breathed a sigh of relief, but when he thought of Qin Shaochu giving so many copper plates. immediately knelt in front of Qin Shaochu.

Qin Shaochu hurriedly supported the old man; "Old man, what are you doing, you are not able to let the younger generation die."

"No, no, Childe, I didn't think so, I just didn't know how to repay you, so I had to kneel down for you" The old man shook his head and explained to Qin Shaochu.

After a while, the old man Qin Shaochu and the three of them brought into the house and brought three glasses of water to the three of them, Qin Shaochu took the cups, and while drinking water, he looked at the house. "Well, yes, it's a nice house."

Zhang Tianming looked at Qin Shaochu's eyes, and probably guessed Qin Shaochu's inner thoughts, and moved closer to Qin Shaochu's side, "How about it, Brother Qin, I plan to rent this shop." ”

Qin Shaochu nodded, "Well, Brother Zhang, I just looked around the house outside, and then came in and looked inside the house, and found that this hut is really good." I think I can rent it. ”

Qin Shaochu called the old man at this time, and when the old man came to his side, he said to the old man. "Old man, why don't I rent this house, what do you think."

The old man stood very hesitant

Qin Shaochu saw the old man's hesitation and continued to speak, "Old man, although you rent this house, I don't see anything in your house, why is this?" ”

The old man looked at Qin Shaochu and said, "Hey, originally, I brought my children to this town together, and at that time I had a little spare money in my hand, so I started a business.

But I didn't expect that last year, my children went to a distant place to transport goods to people, and they didn't come back. Later, I inquired everywhere, and only found out that my child had been killed by the mountain bandits," and as soon as he finished speaking, the old man left tears in his eyes.

When Qin Shaochu and the others heard the old man's past, they fell silent all of a sudden, "Hey. Old man, I am also saddened by what you said, hey. ’

It took a while for the old man to calm down from his sadness. Seeing that the old man's mood had stabilized, Qin Shaochu continued to speak.
