CHAPTER 11 I was bullied
Huang Yue thanked her and said goodbye to the peasant woman's family who took her in for the night last night, because she had no money at all, so she wanted to give the hairpin on her head to others. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info people don't want to take it: "This jewelry is still relatively valuable, we farmers can't find so much money to exchange with you." We don't need it. ”
"But I really don't have any money with me."
"Well, forget it if you don't have any money. Our family is simple, and if you think about it, you didn't sleep well last night, so you don't have to pay for it. But how can you go out without money? What kind of noble family are you, how can you travel alone at night? Half a day's walk to the county seat, don't tell your mother that you were in a hurry yesterday when you go back to your mother's house, don't let the old man be afraid. ”
Leaving the farmhouse and going to the official road, Huang Yue walked all the way and began to think about how to live in the future, came to this unfamiliar world, and there was no copper plate on his body, fortunately, the Zhuge family and the Huang family were not ordinary farmers after all, and now there is a golden hairpin on his head, and there is a pair of earrings on his ears, and the clothes on his body should also be worth some money, and when the time comes, he can also sell them and change them into coarse cloth clothes to save some money, right! I have to change my clothes, so that I don't want to be recognized by the Huang family and the Zhuge family.
After entering the county seat, Huang Yue looked around on the street, and couldn't find any money houses, pawnshops, etc., so he had no choice but to talk to those women who looked clean and brightly dressed: "Sister, I lost the coil on the way back to my mother's house, and now I have no money to eat, there is a golden hairpin here, sister see if you can buy it for some travel money for me?" ”
The fat eldest sister took the golden hairpin and looked at it, her eyes lit up with excitement, and in a blink of an eye, she restrained her joy, and asked expressionlessly: "How much do you want to sell?" ”
How does Huang Yue know how much this is worth, even in the 21st century, she has never worn gold jewelry, it looks relatively big, thinking that it should still be okay to sell it for tens of thousands of yuan, but now it is in the Three Kingdoms at the end of the Han Dynasty, it is definitely not the use of RMB here, it seems that it should be used copper plates, so how much copper coins should be exchanged? Why don't you ask someone to quote a price?
The fat eldest sister looked at Huang Yue's hesitant appearance for a long time, and began to evaluate with confidence: "Look at your hairpin, the appearance looks acceptable, but this gold seems to be a little lacking." In my opinion, maybe it can be exchanged for a thousand or eight hundred, maybe it's not worth so much. Seeing that you are in such a hurry to use the money, I can help you buy it, but my man is now out of the house to do business, and there is no cash at home, or I will pay 500 yuan to buy it, do you think it will work? ”
Huang Yue was already so hungry that her stomach growled, and when she saw that the eldest sister was analyzing, she quickly nodded and agreed: "Five hundred is five hundred." "I would also like to say a few words of thanks for their kind help.
The fat eldest sister was full of joy: "I don't have so much money on me, you can follow me to my house to get it." ”
Huang Yue waited outside the door for a while, and the fat eldest sister came out of it with apologies: "Oh, sister, I'm really embarrassed, I just now, I rummaged through all the boxes and cabinets in the house, why can't I get together enough five hundred dollars, and there are only four hundred and fifty to look for, what do you think?" ”
What else can I do, I finally found a place where I could exchange money, four hundred and five is four hundred and five, Huang Yue handed the golden hairpin to the fat woman, turned around and hurriedly went to find a place to eat and drink.
The fat woman closed the courtyard door and entered the hall, jumping with joy, and the windows crackled: "Old man, old man, I got rich today, and I met a fool and picked up a big bargain." ”
Her man and brother-in-law ran out: "What's wrong, what's wrong?" Listening to the fat woman's story, the little uncle asked anxiously, "Does she have any other jewelry she wants to sell?" ”
The fat woman thought for a moment, "Yes, yes, yes, as if there are a pair of gold earrings on her ears." ”
Huang Yue took the money and found a steamed bun shop on the street, ordered a few steamed buns and a bowl of green vegetable soup and devoured it, although it was not comparable to the mushroom stewed chicken yesterday, but it was tired and hungry and everything was delicious.
The tall and short men who came in sat down next to Huang Yue, and also ordered steamed buns and vegetable soup to eat, chatting while eating: "Second son, when will you marry your daughter-in-law?" ”
The second son was still quite happy: "I finally saved up enough five hundred dollars, and the goldsmith who will go in a while will make a pair of earrings as a dowry." ”
"Then you are going to invite me to a wedding wine, you are almost thirty years old, and you can finally marry a daughter-in-law. How big do you want to wear earrings? ”
"Alas, I don't have too much money in my hands, and I'm afraid that I don't have enough money if I want to play the key point of the deputy noble. Hey, look at the pair that this eldest sister wears is very good. ”
Huang Yue saw that people were pointing to his earrings, and he couldn't help but reach out and touch his ears. The man took the opportunity to suggest to the second son: "Otherwise, you can simply ask this eldest sister to sell you these earrings, and send the dowry over as soon as possible, lest people think you are poor and become a stranger." "The tall man is worried about the marriage of his second son.
The second son was embarrassed: "How can it be good, this eldest sister's earrings should be more than five hundred yuan, and besides, people wear them themselves, how can they take them off and sell them to me." ”
Huang Yue thought that this pair of earrings was lighter than the golden hairpin, and if it could still be sold for five hundred yuan, wouldn't it be much more cost-effective than just now? As soon as his mind moved, he couldn't help but say: "Actually, ......"
The tall man hurriedly took over the conversation: "This eldest sister seems to be a kind person, maybe she is willing to do you a favor with the second son." Eldest sister, you see if it's okay, although your earrings may be more than this money, but after all, after wearing them for so long, the second son still has to spend some money to renovate them, and five hundred dollars is not too much, and the second son will thank you for a lifetime. ”
Huang Yue thought that he would sell it anyway, and he could do a good deed to help others, so he agreed very simply: "I'll sell it to this big brother." ”
The two men paid and even said thank you, and they were going to renovate the earrings without eating the buns.
Huang Yue got up to settle the bill. The boss stretched out his hand: "Four buns and a bowl of soup, a total of eight yuan." Huang Yue paid the money, and silently calculated in his heart, the money from the sale of the golden hairpin and earrings added up to the money, even if it was just for food, it would not take two months.
Turning the corner, the second son was still unwilling: "If it weren't for the fact that she already had a little money on her, I would have liked to change these earrings for her for only a hundred dollars." ”
The tall man didn't bother to think so much: "You might as well say that if you weren't in the city, you would have robbed her halfway." She's a single woman, and she can't do anything to you. ”
It was dark again, Huang Yue found an inn to live in, thinking about how to live in the future, even with food and accommodation, the money for a month would be spent, and he calculated back and forth until the second watch fell asleep.
When he woke up in the morning, Huang Yue got up to leave, and when he touched his side, he wanted to carry the package he bought yesterday, but he found that he couldn't find it, and all the money he got from selling jewelry yesterday was there.
Other travelers were also shouting there, it must have been a thief last night, clamoring to find the shopkeeper to reason for losing money.
The shopkeeper didn't dare to face so many angry travelers, so he hurriedly called Xiao Er to report to the official.
As soon as he heard the report, Huang Yue no longer reported his hopes, not to mention whether the money could be recovered, but when the government asked, what identity should he register? I had to turn around and walk away.
