Chapter 4: One Hundred Taels of Gold
Hearing Yang Wenhua say that he wanted to find a rich man to sell things, the two brothers of the Yang family first brought Yang Wenhua to the chief's house.
Looking at the cave in front of him, Yang Wenhua almost laughed angrily, how much money do people who live in such a place, and his small mirror is a treasure in this era, at least according to gold,.
The lieutenant here, who may be rich to Yang Da and the others, is still a question of whether they have seen gold or not.
If it is sold for silver, Yang Wenhua will have to cry to death, although silver is very valuable in this era, but it is not good on Yang Wenhua's side.
The price of more than three dollars and one gram of silver, carrying a bag of silver back, only a few dollars, is simply a shame for the public.
After being reprimanded by Yang Wenhua, the two brothers of Yang Da whispered for a while before Yang Da hesitated and said: "I heard that there is a Cui family more than ten miles away, and their family lives in a big house, so they should be quite rich." ”
"Heard? Should? You haven't been?"
Facing Yang Wenhua's question, Yang Da shook his head and said: "The farthest place we have been to is where to catch wild boars in the back mountain. ”
Thinking that this is an era when chickens and dogs hear each other and die and don't get along, Yang Wenhua nodded, "It's okay, today my brother will take you out to see and see."
Rest assured, more than ten miles away, it is only a matter of half an hour, and now the sun is still in the middle of the sky, and it is still very early to run two round-trips. ”
After asking pedestrians a few times, Yang Wenhua saw a real rich family as he wished.
It is indeed quite rich, it can be seen from the two-meter-high, two-hundred-meter-long blue brick and black tile wall, such a house is placed in Yang Wenhua's era, and it is not something that ordinary people can have, and few people can handle this thousands of square meters of foundation.
Although the two stone lions at the door are indistinguishable, they are tall and mighty, and on the tall lintel, a plaque is written with the word Cui Fu of the vigor, all of which shows that the family is not only rich, but also has an ordinary status at the moment.
Are such people unreasonable?
Yang Wenhua hesitated for a while, but after all, the pain of poverty prevailed.
"Yang Da, go and knock on the door."
"Brother, I don't dare."
In a society with clear classes, there are really not many people at the bottom who dare to overstep it.
"It's okay, I'm here, you just tap the door twice and run back."
In order to give Yang Da courage, Yang Wenhua continued to walk forward and came to the steps in front of the door.
After Yang Da knocked on the door, an old man stuck his head out of the door.
The old man looked back and forth on Yang Wenhua and the three of them, and he was a little unsure of where the three of them came from, the Yang brothers looked like children from poor families, and Yang Wenhua had short hair and strange clothes, but he looked like a monk.
I'm afraid that these three people didn't come to the wrong place, so the old man said with some doubts: "Who are you looking for?" If you are looking for ordinary people, it is more convenient to ask at the back door. ”
Yang Wenhua didn't say anything, but took out a cigarette, lit it with a lighter, took a puff, swallowed the clouds and spit out the fog, and then said: "I heard that the master of this family, Gao Yi, the poor monk returned from a foreign land, and specially sent a heavy treasure to your master." ”
After speaking, Yang Wenhua handed the lighter with the trademark on his hand to Yang Da, "Take it." ”
The old man cautiously took the lighter handed by Yang Da, looked at it carefully, and looked at Yang Wenhua again for a while, with caution in his eyes.
"Click on the red one." Looking at the grinding old man, Yang Wenhua couldn't help but remind.
The old man pressed the lighter, and when the flame appeared, the whole person trembled, and quickly let go, waited for a while, and pressed it a few times in a row, and said with a smile: "Hey, this fire fold is good, you can wait a while." ”
"Bang"
After the old man finished speaking, he closed the door and ran away, making Yang Wenhua, who was holding a cigarette, stunned for a while.
Fortunately, Yang Wenhua didn't wait long, and when a cigarette was finished, the old man reopened the door.
"My young master invites the three of you to come in and talk in detail."
Entering the courtyard, it shows the grandeur of this family, the flowers, trees, rocks, pavilions in the courtyard, and the layout of one step and one scene, not to mention the two Yang brothers who are not easy to walk, that is, Yang Wenhua is a little dizzying.
I can only sigh that poverty limits my imagination.
Passing by the courtyard of a thousand square meters, the old man led Yang Wenhua and the three into a lobby.
A five- or six-year-old boy, with two Jian slaves, took two steps towards Yang Wenhua, stood three meters away, hugged his fists and saluted: "Boy Cui Cha, there is a courtesy here, my father has not returned from going out, and he can't personally receive the monks. ”
"You're welcome, oh, the little donor doesn't need to be polite, it's the poor monk who disturbed you."
Yang Wenhua first learned to hug the child's fists, felt inappropriate, and folded his hands together to salute.
Cui Cha smiled at Yang Wenhua's hurry, and didn't care, and asked Yang Wenhua to sit down behind a low table, and then knelt behind a low table.
"Haven't consulted the Master yet?"
The law number, this is simple, Yang Wenhua opened his mouth and said: "Sanzang." ”
"Oh"
Cui Cha nodded, and then asked, "Can Master Sanzang talk about foreign things, the kid has always been curious about the Western Regions. ”
Yang Wenhua felt a little brain pain, there are so many problems with little children, heavy treasures, why don't you ask what kind of heavy treasures it is, thinking that what others give is not good, what you ask for is the truth of the baby, Yang Wenhua endured it.
"Not the Western Regions, but the Eastern Regions, take a boat to the sea and go east, pass Goguryeo, cross Fusang, and then go east for 20,000 miles, and you will reach a place called Indian, where there are many strange things."
Yang Wenhua didn't dare to say anything about the Western Regions, he couldn't remember a few names of countries and places, maybe he wasn't as proficient as the child in front of him, so in order not to be exposed, he had to take the east as an example, and he didn't believe that your child still knew about the Americas.
"Oh?"
Cui Cha showed a curious expression and asked, "It's actually the Eastern Regions, what is there in that place called Indian?" Master, can you tell me?"
"There are many things in the Indians that are different from Middle-earth, such as a large turtle with a sharp mouth that is square to a square foot, a large snake that is the thickness of a bucket five or six feet long, and the most important thing is that there is a glass mirror that can clearly reflect everything."
Yang Wenhua said and took out the small mirror with all the handwriting removed, asked Yang Da to send it over, and quickly got down to business, this little kid has so many problems, it's so annoying, I really want to him.
Cui Cha took the small mirror handed by the servant next to him and looked at it a few times, and when his little pink face was reflected in the mirror, he suddenly exclaimed.
"There is such a glass in the world that reflects things so clearly, it turns out that I look like this, and I am so good-looking."
"Ahem"
Money, money, Yang Wenhua had to interrupt the narcissistic little kid.
"What does the little donor think such a treasure mirror can be worth?"
"Priceless."
"Then, is the little donor willing to pay a hundred taels of gold to buy this treasure mirror?"
