Chapter 3 Watches for Gold

Entering the county seat of Yixian, Zhao Qian looked curious, after all, this is the real ancient county seat, which is much more real than on TV. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

However, it is precisely because of the truth that the county town does not look so beautiful, full of low houses, and the arrangement is not very neat, some high and some low.

There were people coming and going on the street, but most of them were dressed in rags, and they didn't look very energetic, and they looked weak.

Seeing this, Zhao Qian knew that this Yi County should be a small county town, and in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, eunuchs and relatives took turns to dictate, which led to the people's misery, which can be seen from the people of Yi County.

After some inquiry, Zhao Qian finally knew where he was, this Yi County was located at the junction of Jizhou and Youzhou in the Han Dynasty, and administratively belonged to Jizhou.

And Zhao Qian also inquired that it is now the sixth year of Guanghe, if it is another year name, Zhao Qian may not know it, but he still knows about this Guanghe, because in the seventh year of Guanghe, the Yellow Turban Rebellion broke out.

Looking at it this way, there is still almost a year left before the Yellow Turban Uprising.

Originally, Zhao Qian was worried that his clothes would look weird in ancient times, but when he saw a lot of people in strange clothes, he dispelled this concern.

It turned out that this place was not far from the Xianbei tribe in the north and the Qianghu tribe in the northwest, and many people were selling horses and horses, and Zhao Qian was nothing unusual compared to them.

Besides, in this age when you can't get enough to eat, who cares what you wear?

Before he knew it, it was almost noon, and Zhao Qian felt hungry in his belly, and it seemed that the top priority was to buy some food.

But Zhao Qian didn't have the coins of the Han Dynasty at all, how could this be good?

Walking and walking, Zhao Qian came to an inn-like place, so he walked in, and as soon as he entered, a guy came forward.

"Guest officer, do you want to eat or stay in a hotel?"

Zhao Qian's eyes rolled, and he suddenly saw the watch he was carrying on his wrist, so he said with a smile: "Little brother, when I first came to Yi County, I didn't want to lose the money on my body, I didn't know if there was a place in this county that could be used as items, and there were still some things on my body, and I wanted to exchange it for money." ”

The man was simple-minded, and didn't think about anything else, and replied directly: "The Su Mansion in this county is a family of doing business, if you have anything good, you can go to them to have a look." ”

Zhao Qian was overjoyed and asked, "I don't know how to go to this Su Mansion?" ”

The man put the towel in his hand on his shoulder, walked to the door of the inn and stretched out his finger: "You follow this road all the way forward, go to the intersection in front of you and go left, and you will see." ”

Zhao Qian clasped his hands into fists and saluted, and said, "Thank you little brother for the road, and I will say goodbye." ”

The innkeeper was busy returning the salute, a little flattered, in his opinion, although Zhao Qian was dressed strangely, he must be a famous family, and it was the first time that such a noble person actually saluted him.

By the time the guy straightened up, Zhao Qian had already left the inn, looking at Zhao Qian's back, the guy muttered to himself: "Whose son is this?" It's really approachable. ”

At this time, Zhao Qian was walking towards Su Mansion according to the instructions of the guy, and sure enough, as the guy said, after turning left at the intersection, he saw the Su Mansion not far away.

Bang! Bang!

Zhao Qian stretched out his hand and slapped the door twice.

It didn't take long for the wooden door to creak open, and an old man came out of it, looked Zhao Qian up and down, and asked, "What does this son do?" ”

Zhao Qian Shili said: "In Xia Zhao Qian, there are some things that I want to pawn, I don't know if they will be accepted here?" ”

"Oh? What is it? Can you let the old man take a look? The old man said with a smile.

"Absolutely." Zhao Qian nodded, rolled up his sleeves, revealed the watch on his wrist, and handed it to the old man.

The old man looked at it intently, but he didn't see any doorway after looking at it for a long time, after all, the watch of the future world was not something he could understand.

"Dare I ask what this is?" The old man asked.

Zhao Qian thought about it, and probably told him that it was a watch, but he didn't know, so he replied: "Uncle, this is called a timer, you see that it has twelve grids on it, when this short needle completes one circle, it is exactly six hours have passed, and after two circles, it is twelve hours." ”

"Oops! What a curiosity! The old man sighed, "The old man can't see how much this object is worth, so it's better to invite the son into the house and let the head of my family see it." ”

Zhao Qian followed the old man to the lobby of the Su Mansion to sit down, and the old man went to the back house to find the head of the house.

After sitting for a while, a middle-aged man came to the lobby, and after seeing Zhao Qian, he was a little surprised, so he gave a deep salute and said: "In Xia Suquan, the words are Qi, and he is the head of the Su Mansion in Yi County, and I don't know the name of the son?" ”

Hearing that it was the head of the Su family, Zhao Qian hurriedly got up and said: "In Xia Zhao Qian, the words are far away, passing by Yi County, the money is lost, so I came here to bother and ask for help." ”

Zhao Qian hurriedly replied in the other party's tone, and also chose a word for himself.

Su Quan nodded, knowing that Zhao Qian had a lot to say, and he didn't ask much, this was his duty as a businessman.

"I heard the old servant in the family say that the son has a timer that is very wonderful, I wonder if I can let me watch it next?" Su Quan didn't talk nonsense and asked directly.

Zhao Qian hurriedly took the watch on his wrist, handed it over, and said, "This is the timer below, the master of the Su family, look at it, how much is it worth?" ”

Su Quan took the watch and looked at it carefully, Zhao Qian was on the side, and briefly introduced the function of the watch, so that Su Quan couldn't stop nodding.

"I can't imagine that there is such a strange thing in this world, it's really wonderful!" Su Quan couldn't help but applaud after hearing this.

"Then how much is this thing worth by the head of the Su family?" Zhao Qian asked, this was what he cared about the most.

Su Quanrong said: "This thing is very rare, it is worth a lot of money, I am willing to pay two thousand gold, I don't know if Ziyuan can cut his love?" ”

The first time he heard someone call him Ziyuan, Zhao Qianleng reacted after a while, and when he heard Su Quan say that he could give two thousand gold, he couldn't help but be overjoyed.

However, Zhao Qian did not show it, but frowned slightly, his eyes were fixed on his watch, and he was very reluctant.

Su Quan was really fooled, and hurriedly said: "I will add another five hundred gold, a total of two thousand five hundred gold, this price, I can conclude that not only in Yi County, but even in the entire Jizhou, there are few people who can come out." ”

After Zhao Qian heard this, he nodded slowly and said, "Okay, if it weren't for the despondency at this time, this thing would never be sold." ”

Su Quan was overjoyed, and hurriedly asked someone to take the two thousand five hundred gold and put it in front of Zhao Qian.

When the box was opened, Zhao Qian couldn't help but be stunned, a whole box of gold! This is something he has never seen before, but he didn't expect a broken watch of two hundred yuan to be exchanged for a box of gold!

Looking at this box full of gold, Zhao Qian was also a little worried, he couldn't carry a big box with him.

"Master Su, there is still a reluctant request below." Zhao Qian said.
