Chapter 10 Wang Jin and Gao Yu

The next day, Zhang San slept until dawn, and sat on the bed with some surprise, why didn't they call themselves stealing vegetables?

Just thinking about it, Li Si walked in and said, "Third brother is up?" ”

"Oh. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info up. Zhang San responded.

When he came to the courtyard, Li Si had already walked in. Zhang San was a little strange, so he asked, "Didn't you go to pick up vegetables today?" ”

Li Siyi was a little shy when he heard Zhang San mention picking up words: "How can you steal it every day, how can you afford it in the vegetable field of Daxiangguo Temple." You just go once when you don't have the money to spend. Did the third brother's money run out yesterday? ”

"No, it's just that I thought I was going every day."

Li Si smiled and didn't speak, pulled Zhang San and walked out, Zhang San asked strangely, "Where are we going." ”

"Go to the intersection to eat."

Zhang San originally wanted to eat the cake that Shuang'er brought for him, but since Li Si had invited, it was difficult to refuse and went together.

When they came to the intersection, two brothers were already eating, and when they saw Zhang San and Li Si coming, they beckoned to sit together.

Zhang San asked for two buns and a bowl of porridge, Li Si ate cooking cakes and pickles from the store, and Zhang San didn't know what to do after eating. The first thing that came to mind was that I wanted to go out for a walk, but I was afraid that I wouldn't know the way and wouldn't be able to come back.

After a while, the two people said hello and left, and Zhang San and Li Si sat in the shed for a while. Li Si said: "The third brother will go around the neighborhood first, and I'll go to the monkey to inquire if there is anyone named Wang Jin." ”

After Zhang San was left, he felt bored, so Zhang San staggered and walked back, and returned to the courtyard to take a closer look.

I didn't have time to take a good look at the day before yesterday and yesterday, and now I rarely have time to visit, and it's my only house now.

The whole courtyard sits in the north and faces south, the courtyard gate is open on the left, the courtyard wall is a shoulder-length low wall made of wooden sticks, and when you reach the door, a simple courtyard gate house made of adobe is used, and the top is covered with cattails.

When I entered the courtyard, I saw two main houses, one kitchen, and a thatched house in the southeast corner of the courtyard.

There was a broken wheelbarrow in the yard, and there was the stone tablet, and there was nothing else, and the yard was full of weeds, which looked a little dilapidated.

When I entered the kitchen, there was a simple pot stove on the left near the door, and there was no pot on the stove. The place where firewood should have been placed next to the stove is now empty. Directly to the right of the door was a seating table, which was also covered with a thick layer of dust. Zhang San blew lightly and almost lost his eyes.

There was a small water tank inside the table, which could hold three or four buckets of water, but now there was no water in the tank, and it was also covered with thick dust and cobwebs. Find an intact wooden barrel next to the water tank, and a broken scoop with a lid split in half.

There are no dishes and chopsticks in the house, and there are no knife seasonings, and it does not have the ability to cook on the fire. Before going out, he glanced at the gray nest in the stove and probed with his hands, well, his money was still there.

When I came to the main house, there was nothing in the main house. The beams were covered with ash on the ground, and a layer of cobwebs hung from the corners of the roof. The house is adobe and the roof is a straw tile structure. It's not like the kitchen and yard door are just covered with grass. So the house looked like there was no rain leakage, and there was no air leakage in the adobe on the walls.

Then there is Zhang San's bedroom, I didn't pay attention to it at night, and now I look at it during the day and find that the quilts on the beds in the house are almost black. After opening the broken box and rummaging through the clothes inside, there were only four or five sets of thin and thick ones, and a bed of burlap quilts. There are some rag clothes below, it may be Zhang San's father's clothes, Zhang San rummaged through the clothes, and found that there was a gray cloth bag at the bottom, Zhang San immediately took out the cloth bag.

I opened the cloth bag and looked through the inside, there was a set of wedding clothes and a set of fine linen blue clothes, and when I took it out, the wedding dress was seven or eight percent new.

Zhang San thought about it carefully, and felt that it might be Zhang San's mother's wedding dress back then. When I went to get the blue clothes again, a pair of silver bracelets shook out of the clothes.

Zhang San picked up the bracelet, thinking that there were two eggs, and looked at the bracelet, each carved with a peony.

Zhang San put the clothes and bracelets back in his bag, and after thinking about it, he didn't feel at ease, so he took out the bracelets again and buried them in the gray nest in the kitchen. It's not reassuring to think about it, as the saying goes, you can't put all your eggs in the same basket! So I buried it in another place.

With this discovery, Zhang San immediately came to his senses and began to rummage in the house, behind the corner door and on the beam. Nothing came of it.

Zhang San was a little unwilling, and turned over the cracks in the walls of the kitchen of the main house, because there was a plot on TV to hide the money in the cracks of the walls, and in the end he still found nothing.

After turning around, Zhang San saw that there was no place to turn over, and Zhang San began to move the bed, wanting to see if it was possible to hide money in the bed. Still not found.

Zhang San looked at the ground everywhere in the room and thought for a while, thinking about it, forget it, the workload is too much, even if it is buried, I don't know where it is, and it may not be necessary to turn it over.

However, Zhang San is still very happy about the harvest of the two bracelets. In this way, even if he has more living security, calculate, the copper coin is more than 1,000 yuan, and the silver bracelet has 80 grams, and 50 grams is one tael, that is, there are one and a half of it. That's 1,500 Wen, which is enough to eat yourself for another month.

In fact, Zhang San still doesn't know that the two in the Song Dynasty are different from the modern ones, the modern one or two is fifty grams and the Song Dynasty is forty grams, so this pair of bracelets is made of two taels of silver, and the dowry of the Song Dynasty is generally very rich. So a pair of silver bracelets is not surprising.

There is also the fact that the Song Dynasty was not consistent with 1,000 wen, but with 770 wen, and one tael of silver was equal to two pieces of money.

So this pair of bracelets is enough for Zhang for three or four months.

Zhang San is now thinking about whether to buy a set of pots and pans, buy some firewood, rice, oil and salt, and cook by himself. But thinking about the price of a set of things is also abandoned, but eating can be solved outside at will, and drinking water is indeed a trouble.

Although Zhang San didn't pay attention to the need to drink pure water, you always have to boil it before drinking river water, and he didn't want to be the first traverser to die of parasites.

Thinking of it, Zhang San first moved the water tank carefully to the yard, and then carried the bucket to prepare to fetch a bucket of water to brush the water tank first.

Coming to the outside of the courtyard, Zhang San was indeed at a loss, not knowing where to go to fetch water, standing for a while, and did not see other people who went to fetch water, Zhang San had to pull a passing old man and asked: "Hello, please ask, where to fetch water?" ”

The man looked at the bucket in Zhang San's hand and said: "Third brother has really forgotten the past, I am from Dachun's family in the west, Dachun's father, come to my house to sit and sit when he has time, fetch water and go to the Jinshui River in the south, go from here to there, cross an alley, and go to the river." ”

Zhang San hurriedly thanked him, went with a bucket, and after walking a short distance, he saw a big river. There are some people on the river who are fetching water, and there are no fishing boats and merchant ships on the river, Zhang San is very strange, doesn't it say that water transportation in the Song Dynasty was particularly developed? How is it that there is not a single boat in such a big river?

In fact, this Jinshui River is the main river for drinking water supply in the capital of the Northern Song Dynasty, and it flows all the way into the palace, so naturally everyone is not allowed to row. It's just that Zhang San doesn't know.

I brushed the cylinder twice and cleaned the board again. Simply clean the kitchen. I carried two more buckets of water into the tank, and brushed the water ladle and the lid of the tank, and with this half of the tank of water, you can make tea.

Zhang San was about to go out to buy a pot to boil water when he saw Li Si coming over, and when he saw Zhang San, Li Si said: "The third brother has already heard the news of Wang Jin and the second year of high school." ”
