Chapter 8 Those Things in the Qin Dynasty

Isn't it interesting?

Liu Kan is afraid that he will never feel funny at this time, because he is receiving the reprimand of his mother Kan Yuan, and he is reprimanded mercilessly.

"Ah Kan, why are you so stupid? Why don't you discuss with me and exchange all the money for Qin coins? ”

Judging the food and sending the Qin coins over early in the morning, Liu Kan didn't even come to explain the situation to Kan Yuan, which provoked Kan Yuan to be furious.

Kan Yuan didn't understand, what did Liu Kan do with exchanging all the money in his hand for Qin coins?

As mentioned earlier, the location of this place is very interesting. As early as the early Warring States period, the state of Wu in the south had included this place under their territory. Later, Wu perished and declined, and the state of Chu rose again, bringing the Surabaya valley, including Pei, under the rule of Chu. People living in Pei say that Pei is the southern edge of the Central Plains and the northern border of the Chu State.

Qilu culture, Chuyue civilization, intertwined here.

While living in peace, they also retain their own unique customs. Among them, especially the Chu style in the south of Pei County is obvious.

Although Chu has three households, the death of Qin will be Chu.

The hatred between the Chu and Qin people can be said to be unforgettable. Especially the last King of Chu, that is, King Huai of Chu, is an honest man. was first deceived by the Qin State, and later detained by the Qin State, and then later, the King of Chu Huai died at the hands of the Qin State.

For the Chu people, who have a strong temperament and still have the style of Southern Barbarians, this is simply a great shame.

Although the state of Chu has perished, the people of Chu living in Pei County have not changed their attitude towards the state of Qin.

Don't look at the more than 50,000 Qin coins that have been exchanged back, the number has increased, but in fact, it has become more ineffective. When she first arrived, Kan Yuan still thought that she could use the money to reclaim the land, and it was best to buy a ploughing cow, and after buying the property, she would set up a family affair for Liu Kan.

As a mother, nothing is more important than the start of a family for her son.

Can ...... now

Liu Kan actually made such a big decision and didn't discuss it with himself. However, although Kan Yuan was angry, in order to save Liu Kan's face, she still exchanged the money and goods in her hand for Qin coins. For a man, Cigna is sometimes more important than life.

Even if Kan Yuan starved to death, she didn't want her son to be said to be a villain with no credit.

This was also a very prosperous fashion at the time.

However, behind closed doors, Kan Yuan naturally had to count Liu Kan. But Liu Kan couldn't explain...... Do you say to your mother: Your son I know that Qin Wangzheng will ascend the throne and become the first emperor, and he will also unify weights and measures, unify currency, and Qin coins will appreciate?

Therefore, Liu Kan could only lower his head and listen to Kan Yuan's reprimand.

Fortunately, Kan Yuan was only angry for a while, and when this anger passed, she would no longer blame.

"Ah Kan, since the matter has been done, let's not talk about it anymore. Although I don't know why you did this, I guess you have a reason. But for now, we need to plan for the future...... You can't live here all the time, don't you? ”

Liu Kan said: "Mother, I have already told the eldest brother that we can live here temporarily, and we don't need money to eat and live." ”

Kan Yuan's face turned cold, "Why?" It's not that we don't have money, so why do we send people to the fence? Besides, why should the food trial family be so good to us? Didn't you say that you should support yourself and no longer send people under the fence? Why did you change your mind now? Male husbands, since they have set ambitions, don't change them easily, otherwise they will be underestimated. ”

Liu Kan's mouth opened, but he was distressed, this is another question that cannot be explained clearly.

If Kan Yuan knew that he had accepted other people's money and was ordered to monitor their mother and son, Kan Yuan's first reaction was to flee immediately. Even if Kan Yuan doesn't leave, she will be frightened because of this, let alone continue to live here.

"Ah Kan, let's go find someone now and settle down at home."

Liu Kan was in a hurry, and grabbed Kan Yuan's clothes, "Mother, please listen to the child's explanation." ”

Kan Yuan looked at Liu Kan in surprise, groaned for a while, and said softly: "Okay, then you say, I'll listen...... Ah Kan, don't deceive as a mother. ”

Liu Kan said: "Mother, we are new to this place, and we don't know anything about this place. As you know, Pei County is a place where Chu people and Central Plains people live together. Which places are suitable for us to live in, those things that need our attention, we must always understand. What are the living habits of the Chu people, and what customs do the Central Plains people who live here, if they don't figure it out, they will definitely be troublesome in the future. ”

Kan Yuan was surprised and said, "Kan, who taught you these words?" ”

Liu Kan secretly screamed badly, presumably the owner of this body would not be able to say such words.

Hurriedly said: "The child chatted with the eldest brother last night, and he gave me a lot of advice. He also said that settling the family business is a big event in a lifetime, and it should not be taken lightly. The child also thinks that what the eldest brother said is good, so he wants to inquire before making a decision. ”

"Well...... this"

Kan Yuan frowned and was silent.

She didn't have a good impression of it. Even in Kan Yuan's opinion, the reason why Liu Kan did such a stupid thing and exchanged Qin coins may be out of the idea of judging it. He must have done this because he wanted us to stay a little longer, so that we could earn money from my mother and son.

However, what he said is not without reason.

As a newcomer, I don't know anything about Pei County. Especially when Liu Kan was growing his body, if he lived in a place with a bad environment, he was afraid that it would affect him. Kan Yuan is not very literate, and she has also heard the story of Meng's mother's three migrations, and knows the importance of this environment.

"In that case, let's stay at this inn for two days...... But you said to the judge, we don't live in vain, what to do, just do it. Ah Kan, the world is sinister, and you need to be cautious. The judge looked oily and slippery, not like a good person. You cannot fail to listen to his words, nor do you listen to them all. Don't owe him a favor, when you repay it in the future, you will be very tired. ”

Kan Yuan said this, and she also felt it.

Think about her husband Liu Fu, isn't it because he received the favor of the Lu family that he ended up paying it back with his life?

She doesn't want her only son to follow the old path of Liu Fu again. In particular, Liu Kan is also a martial arts practitioner and is more likely to be used.

Liu Kan nodded again and again, indicating that he remembered his mother's advice.

But in my heart, I said: I can't help it. Someone has to come to this black cauldron, and the dead friends don't die in the poor way, I have wronged you!

Kan Yuan told Liu Kan to turn over him, and then released him.

Liu Kan walked out of the door and couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief. When I was with Kan Yuan, the sin I suffered was really uncomfortable.

Outside the house, Liu Kanzheng met the judge.

At this time, he had changed his dress, took off the long coat and big jacket that the Central Plains people were used to, and put on a short coat and small jacket of the Chu people, looking very energetic. Wearing a certain bamboo crown on his head and carrying a bamboo cane in his hand, he smiled coquettishly when he saw Liu Kan.

"Little brother, have you finished being reprimanded?"

Judging Shiqi walked over with a smile, "I'll just say, if you replace the knife cloth and ant nose with Qin coins for no reason, the old man will definitely be angry." ”

"Then you won't persuade me?"

He was surprised and said, "Why should I persuade you? Anyway, I don't have to lose...... Hehe, but for the sake of you making me a profit, when I collect money, I will calculate with you according to the price on the market. Don't stare at me, I don't believe that the Lingtang will agree to eat and live for nothing. ”

This is a ......

Liu Kan really didn't know what to say about him!

Who said that the ancients were stupid and simple? This guy is like a mirror in his heart, he can see it better than anyone else, and he knows it clearly.

No wonder when I delivered the money in the morning, I smiled as if I had eaten candy. It turned out that he had already seen Kan Yuan's attitude!

Think about it, too, if you use your original way of thinking to measure the minds of the ancients, I'm afraid you can't calculate.

Liu Kan gritted his teeth and said, "My mother said let me see the environment here...... Since you took advantage of it, why don't you introduce it to me again? ”

Judging the food, he couldn't help but wonder: "What's so nice about this?" This place belongs to the three regardless of the three, and there is not even a county government. Well, if you want to buy a family business, remember to report it to the pavilion chief here. But it's not a problem, I'll take you to them now. ”

Pei County does not have an official office, and it is a more formal official institution called Ting.

Liu Kan was stunned and said, "Pavilion Chief? ”

"Yes, it's the pavilion chief. Let's have it here, five households are called neighbors, five neighbors are called li, and there is a pavilion in ten miles. The pavilion chief is the person who is usually responsible for maintaining law and order and is responsible for some daily sundries. Our pavilion chief's surname is Cao, he is very good, you don't need to be afraid. ”

After speaking, he was surprised and said: "Actually, it's not just us here, isn't it all done here?" Don't you know? ”

Liu Kan sighed, and hurriedly covered up: "Why don't I know!" I just forgot about it for a while. ”

"Hey, you're not very old, this doesn't seem to have a good memory."

Liu Kan said: "Don't talk nonsense, if you don't want to introduce me, then I'll find someone to inquire." ”

"Forget it, since you live in my house, I'll make it difficult for me. This is not charged, but counts as my reward to you. ”

Repay?

Of course, it was to repay Liu Kan and make him a small profit!

Judging the food and no longer talking nonsense with Liu Kan, the two of them walked out of the inn and strolled on the streets of Pei County.

The so-called main street is actually just a dirt road. It's just a little more spacious, and it runs through the north and south gates of Pei County. In fact, there is only such a decent street in the entire Pei County. On both sides of the road, there are a few vendors and a few liquor shops.

He said, "Little brother, you are new to the city, I invite you to drink!" ”

"Aren't you going to introduce me to the situation in Pei County?"

"It's very good to introduce, and you can see this place in Peixian at a glance. We sat down and drank while I told you. ”

Judging Shiqi pulled Liu Kan and walked to the door of a wine shop in the south of the city.

Outside the wine shop, there was a disguise, and there was a big character written on it, which was written with twists and turns, and Liu Kan barely recognized that this was the word 'king'.

"This is one of the two best taverns in our county."

Judging his triumphant introduction, "The wine here is very famous in ten miles and eight towns. I'll take you to another one another day, and it's not bad. ”

After walking all the way, Liu Kan now only has a pretense hanging at the door of this wine shop.

Presumably, this disguise is not something that can be hung up by anyone casually, otherwise, it should be the same outside other wine shops.

"Brother Shishi, the word on this disguise is the word 'king'?"

In Liu Kan's opinion, it should be a very ordinary question, but he didn't expect it, but it made his face change and show a look of shock.

"Brother Liu, do you know Chu Wen above?"

Liu Kan said strangely: "Is this Chu Wen?" I don't know, but it's supposed to be the king. ”

"I guessed it!"

Judging by his smile, he said softly: "Scared me, I thought you were the remnant of the Chu people." ”

――――――――――――――

Back to Brother Bug1M, whether the trial is a compound surname or a single surname trial, in fact, I don't know. Gaoyang drunkards are indeed surnamed Li, and theoretically speaking, the judge should also be surnamed Li.

However, for the later episode, I still waved it myself and adopted the surname of the judge.

Moreover, at the end of the Warring States Period, at the turn of the Qin and Han dynasties, this surname was very casual, and many strange surnames were not found in the hundred family names. And the right to judge and eat it is to revert to the surname, and please forgive me for the neglect.
