Chapter 10: Buying a Donkey

Xu Qingzheng and the maid Xiao Wu turned over the clouds and rain, and suddenly broke out with a tenor, and the little five girl became the big man last night, which scared Xu Qingyi, "Huh~".

Xu Qing got up with a depressed face, he knew that the big man was going crazy yesterday, and he didn't know why there were so many people in Zhichong Mansion who didn't uphold justice. At this time, the sky is already bright, and at this time, everyone in Zhichong Mansion should have already taken their places, drinking tea and chatting.

Therefore, Xu Qing is not afraid of the big man, he doesn't believe that a Bai Ding can beat the court officials in public! Xu Qing Mariel changed into the official uniform she had just sent over yesterday, opened the door and walked out.

"Grandson Turtle, it's finally out, see how I ......" No matter how the big man is in the second middle school, he always recognizes the official uniform, and he was dumbfounded for a while, and stammered and asked, "You ...... Who are you, my lord? ”

"Misunderstanding, misunderstanding, Lord Xu, it's all a misunderstanding." A clever person had already seen the ins and outs and ran in to report to the owner's book.

"Misunderstanding? Blocked me in the door last night, I'm afraid this misunderstanding is difficult to explain, right? Xu Qing said with a straight face, you can't be a good person at this time.

"My lord, I didn't block you......" Dahan knelt down in a panic and said, "It's you who can't come out by yourself......"

"Huh?"

"Bastard, admit your mistake to Lord Xu!" The master of the official room patted the head of the big man, the big man immediately kowtowed, and then the tears and snot flowed out, even if the actor crossed over to this place, he was ashamed, and the master book then said to Xu Qing: "Lord Xu, look?"

To tell the truth, although the main book is not a small official, there is an acre and three points of land here, but Xu Qingzheng's eight-rank official is a loose official, without any real power, to put it bluntly, only the name is scary. The owner of the house is not afraid of Xu Qing, and intends to protect his hometown.

Xu Qing didn't want to make a big fuss, so he got off the donkey down the slope, waved his hand, and Dahan thanked Dade for going out. Then he turned around and asked the chief bookkeeper: "I don't know how many days will it take for the horses and vehicles rewarded by the emperor to arrive?" The little brother can't help but bother again......"

The master bookkeeper looked at Xu Qing as if he had discovered a new continent: "Lord Xu, this carriage and servants were sent directly to your mansion......

"Your house? Ah, send Lonan! I should be ......" Xu Qing slapped his forehead and made a big red face.

Hearing that the carriage servants had already been sent to Luonan, Xu Qing didn't want to delay in Boxing, so he immediately packed up his things and went to the county seat, thought about it for a while, and decided to buy something to travel. Although he didn't know where Luonan was, at least in Henan Province in later generations, and he was now in Shandong, he was far away across the province, and he was afraid that he could only die before he could get out of the school.

And I have more than ten pieces of cloth, which I can't bring alone, but fortunately, the cloth can be used as currency. So Xu Qing went to the street to inquire about the place of mules and horses, but fortunately, Boxing is still a big county, and there are really mules and horses.

According to the guide, Xu Qing held a silk cloth, which was worth more than cotton, but it was definitely not worth a horse, but it could be used as a deposit.

The mule and horse shop is relatively deserted, seeing a guest come in, busy is a warm greeting, a small guy led Xu Qing through a courtyard, the yard squatted a lot of ragged people, grass on their heads, there are men and women, there are big and small, this is "inserting the label to sell the head".

Among these people are poor people who have suffered natural and man-made disasters, prisoners of war who have been captured without permission, and there are also some liars whose household names are all fake, and they have fled without paying attention. However, there are no children and daughters, and there have been few natural disasters in recent years.

Xu Qing glanced at it slowly, and just now he was still feeling relieved to sell his sons and daughters, when he saw an old man at the gate, skinny as wood, holding a little girl in his hand, timidly probing around, about seven or eight years old, also thin.

Xu Qing just glanced at it, and the little servant took him to the backyard, five or six horses, more than a dozen donkeys, and seven or eight mules, and a foul smell filled the place.

In the early days of the Tang Dynasty, there were frequent wars, horses were very expensive, a little better were more than ten taels, donkeys and mules were slightly cheaper, Xu Qing thought about it slightly, and decided to buy donkeys.

"Eight taels! Fixed price! ”

"Four taels, I won't buy any more!"

"Seven taels! One point less won't work! ”

"Forget it, five taels of silver, it can't be higher."

"Young man, we also have to eat, in this way, 6 taels of silver."

"Two silk cloth and one cotton cloth ......"

"Hiss ~ deal!"

Xu Qing will not bargain, but he is brave enough to respond to other people's prices in a bold way...... He didn't know what the price of silk cloth was, but he still had more.

led the donkey to the front yard, made a deposit for the silk cloth, and the shopkeeper asked a little maid and Xu Qing to go to the balance, and was about to leave, when he saw a woman in the house viciously pumping people with wicker, the woman was a professional slave trainer, and it was the little girl who was just seen, the little girl was crying, and it was called a dark sky.

Xu Qing's heart ached, so he asked the shopkeeper: "Slightly, what's the origin of that."

The shopkeeper returned: "The tooth brought it over, and the family is sick......

Xu Qing groaned, hey, forget it, who told me to be so kind?

"Shopkeeper, how about buying me a piece of silk cloth?"

"One...... A piece of silk? All right! It's just that I haven't trained it yet, and I'm afraid of colliding with the guest officer...... "In the early Tang Dynasty, an adult man was cheaper than a horse, and a female doll that had just been brought in changed to silk cloth, not to mention how beautiful the shopkeeper was."

"Little sister, where is your home?" Xu Qing walked next to the little girl.

"Bad guys! Woowoo...... It's all bad guys...... Nobody cares about Kiki...... Whoop......"

"Eh, your name is Kiki, is this good, looking for your mother with your brother?" Xu Qing is harmless to humans and animals.

"Mom? Mom is dead...... Woo woo ......"

"Alas~" Xu Qing instructed the little girl to buy some things and handed them to the girl named Qiqi. Kiki hesitated for a moment, then suddenly made up her mind again, and gobbled it up. Xu Qing stopped her several times, for fear of hurting her stomach.

Qiqi suddenly said: "My mother just ate this and died, I also ate it, I can go to my mother." Xu Qing was distressed again, and exerted his speech ability extraordinarily, telling a story about a tadpole looking for his mother, and he didn't know if Qiqi understood, but he saw her lying on the table and falling asleep. It seems that this Kiki's life experience still needs to be considered.

Xu Qing went back to the inn with Qiqi in his arms, settled the bill, and reported a piece of cloth to the innkeeper and said that he would cut a few clothes for Qiqi, and bought a little pastry and other snacks on the street, found a piece of paper, folded a small windmill, fixed it on the chopsticks, inserted it on the window, and flew around.

After doing this, he said hello to the innkeeper, and then planned to take out the cloth as a pawn, which was a familiar way, he had been with Zhang Zhong before. Five pieces of silk cloth, four pieces of cotton cloth, one piece of cotton cloth nine coins of silver, two taels of silk cloth and four coins of silk cloth, a total of 15 taels and 6 coins.

There are still two silk cloths left Xu Qing doesn't plan to be, and he can keep them for his own use, or he can give them out as gifts. Xu Qing checked the money bag, the silver was about more than twenty taels, and there were some loose coins, and there were ten copper coins at home, which were packed in baskets, sixty-four catties!
