Chapter 3 How should gold fingers be used?

Gray cement pillars, messy weeds, old bicycles, colorful garbage......

All of this shows that-

Filth from the XXI century!

Zhao Rui was so happy that his whole body was trembling!

If there really was a crate, which could connect two worlds, what would you do with it?

Zhao Rui closed the left door as soon as possible, and then pushed open the right door.

He saw the familiar and unfamiliar courtyard again.

Immediately, he closed the right door again, opened the left door, and he saw again garbage from the twenty-first century......

After opening and closing the door several times in a row, Zhao Rui finally determined one fact-

The cargo box and the ancestral hall coincide in space!

Open the right door, it is the antique Great Song!

Open the left door, and you will see the devastated 21st century!

"Hahaha......"

A few pounds of crazy laughter came out of Zhao Rui's mouth.

He fell to his knees laughing.

Problem solved!

Now that we have space to connect to two worlds, what problems can't be solved?

"Pretty woman?"

"The riches of the country?"

"The supreme right?"

Zhao Rui's eyes suddenly burst out with an incomparable essence.

At this moment, he felt like he had become a god! Unstoppable gods! No problem can stump yourself!

"With this overlapping space, everything will not be too simple!"

With extreme confidence on his face, he stood up, pushed open the left door, and stepped forward, "My path to rise will start from this moment!" ”

Bang!

An invisible transparent wall blocked Zhao Rui's way.

The body bounced straight back.

Zhao Rui covered his head and staggered, took a few steps back, and almost fell to the ground.

The expression on his face froze.

From excited, arrogant, confident, to confused!

"What's the situation?"

He hurriedly stepped forward and touched it with his hand, obviously he couldn't see anything in front of him, but his hands seemed to touch the water, and there were faint ripples in the air, and the touch was like touching hard glass, and there was an obvious sense of obstruction coming from his hand.

He pushed forward hard, and it was clear that there was nothing in front of him, but he seemed to be pushing an iron wall weighing a thousand pounds, and his face was red, but his hands did not move.

"Can't get by! How can you not get by! ”

At this moment, Zhao Rui panicked, if he couldn't get by, what woman, money, and power ......

It's going to be a mirror!

will all be nothing!

Nothing will be possible!

"Don't!!"

Zhao Rui frantically bumped forward, but after working hard for a long time, he almost used the strength to eat, but he still couldn't take that step.

He sat panting in front of the door, his eyes full of despair.

"How can this be ......"

However, the years of wandering have shaped his tenacious nerves, and he feels that since this space exists, it can't be useless, haven't you read those novels, but any gold finger must play a role, otherwise what else is it called?

"That's not right! Wrong! Wrong! ”

"Since I can see the other side, it means that I can definitely pass...... Do I have to pay some price? But at what cost? ”

He thought about what he could have—

"Is it money?"

He touched his body, there was nothing, not a dime, well, this option can be said later.

Then, he stretched out his fingers, knelt on the ground, pointed to the sky, and said with a solemn expression: "I will sacrifice my life for a year in exchange for my freedom to go out!" ”

With that, he stood up and touched forward with his hands again, but was quickly stopped by the transparent wall.

"It doesn't seem to be a ...... of life"

Zhao Rui thought for a while, "Is it health?" ”

He blinked and shouted to the heavens, "I'm going to trade a finger for my freedom to go out!" ”

This time, however, he failed again.

"It's not life, it's not health, what's that?"

Zhao Rui looked at himself, and it seemed that there was nothing else to give.

"Is it money?"

"Well, you can give it a try......"

He hurriedly ran back to the left wing, looked at the carpet, and then looked at the mirror, and said in his heart: According to historical records, during the Song Dynasty, China's textile technology was already very developed, and generally large families had carpets spread on the ground......

He eventually picked up the mirror and walked out the right door.

According to historical records, the glass mirror was first introduced to China in the Ming and Qing dynasties in Europe, and it was only in the Song Dynasty at this time, that is to say, the glass mirror has not yet been made in Europe.

As the saying goes, scarcity is expensive.

Zhao Rui thinks that this mirror should be able to sell for a good price.

The housekeeper was an idle man, and he was cleaning the yard at this time.

Originally, these jobs were all done by some subordinates, but since the fall of the Zhao family, those subordinates and maids have been dismissed, and he is the only one left.

These rough jobs can't be done by the young master, so he took over all the chores.

Seeing his young master walking out of the backyard with something he couldn't tell what it was, the housekeeper hurriedly greeted him, "Young master, what are you going to do?" ”

Zhao Rui instructed: "You hurry up and take the money to the yamen to take care of it, just say that the Zhao family has only one son, and has not yet married a wife and had children, and the task of inheriting the family has not yet been completed, so I am really unable to dedicate myself to the Great Song Dynasty, and I implore the county lord to raise his hand and let me complete my obligation as a son of man......"

In ancient times, there were many wealthy families who used money to take care of them in order to evade military service, and he thought to himself that now the Great Song Dynasty has not yet reached the time when the country is ruined and the family is in chaos, and the problem of military service should be solved with money.

But the housekeeper was startled, shook his head and said, "Young master, in order to prevent his family from being caught, the Li Mansion was exempted from military service after paying a hundred taels of silver to himself. There are only 100 taels left in our house, if all that money is used to take care of the government, how can there be money to live in the future......

Young master, you better bear with it, although our Zhao family is broken, there are still some thresholds, and those officers and soldiers generally won't easily offend big families if they don't know the specific situation......"

Zhao Rui saw the problem much more accurately than him, and said: "Now the county lord didn't bring anyone to arrest people, that's because he is waiting for all the big families in the county to go to him to spend money to buy exemptions, if he hasn't paid him all the time, do you think he can spare our Zhao family?" The Zhao family doesn't have such a big face, not to mention that the Zhao family is now a broken settlement, where can they get the face? Or is it safer to spend money to buy a waiver......"

The housekeeper said with a bitter face: "What should I do with my life after that?" ”

"You don't have to worry about money,"

He patted the mirror in his arms, "With this mirror, everything is not a problem." ”

"Mirrors? So it's a mirror......"

The housekeeper looked at it twice, but because he looked at the back, he didn't see anything famous, he only felt that the workmanship of the wooden frame was not bad, and the patterns carved on it were more vivid, but it was limited to that, with his many years of experience as a housekeeper, he could conclude at a glance that wood was not a good wood.

Shaking his head, he said: "Young master, mirrors are not unusual, even those small families have them, and they can't sell a few...... Well? ”

Without waiting for him to finish, Zhao Rui flipped the mirror over.

The butler's eyes widened suddenly.

He could see himself clearly in the mirror, even his hair!

The clarity is simply not comparable to those bronze mirrors!

"This, this, this ......"

The butler was so shocked that he couldn't speak.

Zhao Rui was amused in his heart, but he still maintained a faint look on his face, and said: "This mirror was turned out of the ancestral hall by me, and it should have been brought back by my father when he was doing business. Guess what price the pawnshop will pay me if I sell it to a pawnshop? “

The housekeeper threw down the broom and ran, "Young master, I'll go to the yamen, you wait at home for the old slave to come back......"

He has been a housekeeper in the Zhao family for many years, although he doesn't know the specific value of this mirror, he can guess that such a mirror can definitely be sold for a sky-high price in the Great Song Dynasty!

As the saying goes, money can make ghosts grind, and with the money to offer, the butler quickly ran back with a exempt card.

At this time, Zhao Rui, who was waiting at home, also wiped the mirror clean, took the exemption card, hung it on his waist, and then asked the old housekeeper to find a wooden box, package the mirror, put it in, and wrap it in three layers inside and three layers outside, and then Shi Shiran went out.

Go to the pawnshop.

Pawnshop is an institution that collects movable and immovable property as collateral and lends money to the other party. It is called a pawn shop.

Similar to a loan company in the twenty-first century.

The commerce of the Great Song Dynasty has been very developed, and you can see a lot of shops on the streets.

It's just because of the relationship between catching strong men, most of the people wandering on the street are the elderly, women and children, some are in a hurry, and some are leisurely.

After Zhao Rui asked a few people on the road, he finally knew the location of the pawnshop, and walked for about a quarter of an hour before he arrived.

It is a three-story shop called Yamato Pawnshop.

Because of the cold business, the guy in the store was bored sitting on the stool behind the counter to practice the abacus, Zhao Rui didn't notice when he walked in, until Zhao Rui knocked on the table, the guy in the store was shocked, quickly stood up, and arched his hand: "This master, you are a pawn?" ”

Zhao Rui nodded and asked, "Is the shopkeeper there?" ”

The shopkeeper's eyes lit up when he heard this, generally only when pawning valuables the guest will choose to trouble the shopkeeper, but he was a little uneasy, although the young man in front of him looked very expensive, but he was not sure if the other party's items were really qualified to invite the shopkeeper to come.

He said, "Can you make the little one grow long eyes?" ”

Zhao Rui pretended to be dissatisfied and frowned, but still put the wooden box in his hand on the counter, carefully unwrapped the black cloth wrapped around the box, and then lifted a corner of the black cloth covering the mirror, revealing a small corner on the front of the mirror.

But it was just this little gap, the shopkeeper's pupils shrank suddenly, and he hurriedly pressed his hand on Zhao Rui's wrist, "This master, there are a lot of hands outside, let's talk above!" ”

A cold sweat broke out on his forehead, and he was frightened by what was revealed!
