Zhou Ping took the backpack a little at a loss, the heavy weight in his hand made him a little overwhelmed, he had been thinking about saving enough money to escape to the south, but he didn't expect it to be so easy to make up, and after half a ring, he thanked Xue Liangchen: "Thank you Langjun!" ”

"Don't thank me!" Xue Liangchen said with a smile: "You also listened to what my father said, you are already my Lang Party, I remember that the daughter of the Chen blacksmith family is just right for you in appearance and age, and the surname is not bad, if you think it's okay, you will go to propose marriage in a few days, and it is serious to invite me to drink a glass of wine!" ”

"Yes, yes!" Zhou Ping nodded hurriedly, he looked at the back of Xue Liangchen leaving, but he had no happiness in his heart to escape the catastrophe with the travel expenses, did he just take the money and flee to the south, leaving the family under the hooves of the Jin people?

Zhou Ping walked towards his residence with a rucksack in a complicated mood, and just after leaving the courtyard gate, he happened to see a familiar figure standing under the tree in front of his house, which was Yun Niang, the daughter of the Chen blacksmith family that Xue Liangchen had just mentioned.

"Yun Niang, it's so late, what are you doing here?" Zhou Ping asked suspiciously.

Probably because she was born in a blacksmith family, Yun Niang is a well-proportioned and long girl, with a little dark skin, but her appearance is upright, her eyebrows and big eyes, she is a very handsome girl, only to see Yun Niang's gaze swept over the backpack in Zhou Ping's hand, stretched out her right hand and said: "Ah Ping, the backpack in your hand is the reward given to you by your father-in-law, take it!" ”

"Not bad." Zhou Ping nodded instinctively, and then reacted, and with a retraction of his right hand, he put the backpack behind him and asked, "Yun Niang, what do you mean, that is the reward between my father-in-law and me, why do you want to take it?" ”

Yun Niang smiled slightly: "Ah Ping, you are extravagant, where is the person who can save money, the father-in-law and your money let you spend it in a mess in a few days, and it is a waste in your hands?" ”

Zhou Ping couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this, it turned out that when he had just crossed over, he came from a modern society with extremely abundant materials to an agricultural society with extreme material scarcity in the Northern Song Dynasty.

"Why don't I store it for you, and there will be a place to come when you need it urgently." Speaking of this, Yun Niang took a step forward and snatched the rucksack from Ah Ping's hand. Zhou Ping reacted at this time, and was about to step forward to snatch it, but Yun Niang had already put the backpack behind her back and said with a smile: "What, are you still afraid that I will swallow your reward?" ”

Zhou Ping saw Yun Niang's smile, her eyes flowed, her face couldn't help but blush slightly, and said with a wry smile: "It's not that I'm afraid that you will swallow it, but since I got the reward, I have to leave some money to invite everyone to a bar!" ”

Yun Niang's eyes rolled and she smiled: "That's right, presumably those sloppy ghosts have already got the news to come to you!" As she spoke, she had already opened her backpack and wanted to take some scattered copper coins to Zhou Ping, revealing a string of new copper coins inside. She was taken aback and almost threw the money bag in her hand to the ground.

"How are there so many? How much did your husband reward you? ”

"Fifty times!" Zhou Ping replied angrily, he looked at the shiny copper coins, and secretly thought that his plan to run away seemed to be bad in the hands of this girl.

"So much!" Yun Niang opened her mouth in surprise: "What did you do, the father-in-law actually rewarded you with so much money!" "It's no wonder Yun Niang was so surprised, taking the Northern Song Dynasty as an example, the prime minister and privy envoy of the East and West Mansions, his original salary is only 300 yuan a month, plus 20 horses of spring and winter clothes, 30 horses of silk, and 100 taels of winter cotton, for a field guest like Zhou Ping, 50 is simply an astronomical amount.

"Yun Niang, Ah Ping is already my Lang Party!" At this time, a voice suddenly came from behind Zhou Ping, and Zhou Ping looked back to see that it was Xue Liangchen, only to see him looking at Yun Niang with a smile: "Dad not only gave him a reward, but also rewarded Ah Ping with the farm house in the east of the village, so that he could find a daughter-in-law and start a family." Yun Niang, you don't have a Xu family yet, what do you think of Ah Ping? ”

"Phew! Which one is going to marry him, the prodigal! Yun Niang's face was already flushed, so she spat and turned her head and ran away.

Xue Liangchen looked at Yun Niang's distant back, turned his head and said with a smile: "Ah Ping, Yun Niang is good, her figure, appearance, and female popularity are all counted in several nearby villages, and she is just right for you."

Zhou Ping was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help but hesitate a little in his heart: "Is it true that I am going to marry her, so what about the matter of fleeing south?" In a trance, I heard Xue Liangchen laughing: "The male should get married, and the female should marry." What's so embarrassing about that. If you have a tender face, I will go for you to kiss you, and if you have no relatives, I am your master's family and you should go on a trip. ”

At this time, a small cloth bag was thrown in from the outer door and fell to the ground, Zhou Ping picked up the cloth bag and saw that it was a brocade handkerchief, which contained a string of copper coins, about more than 100 texts, and a plum was embroidered on the brocade pa, which should be used by women. He looked up in his heart, and saw a slender figure standing not far from the door, vaguely Yun Niang.

Xue Liangchen on the side looked at the Jinpa on the ground, and then at Yun Niang not far away, he didn't know what was going on, and said with a smile: "I see!" I see! But I'm troubled! ”

"Lang Jun, listen to me!" Zhou Ping was about to explain, but Xue Liangchen was willing to listen, smiled and patted the other party's shoulder and said, "It's okay, Ah Ping, you are so self-conscious, don't live up to the girl's affection!" With that, he went straight away, leaving Zhou Ping alone in the courtyard.

"It's not what you think!" Zhou Ping muttered a few words, looked outside the courtyard, and the place where Fang Cai Yunniang was standing was already empty, thinking that she had already left. Zhou Ping looked around at no one, sighed and returned to the house, tilted his head on the bed, stared at the black roof, recalled the experience of Fang Cai, and flashed Yun Niang's voice and smile from time to time, and suddenly sighed in a low voice: "To stay or to leave, this is really a dilemma!" ”

Bang bang!

At this time, there were two gentle knocks on the door outside, pulling Zhou Ping back from his contemplation to reality, he sat up from the bed and asked, "Who is outside?" ”

"The old monk is very kind, there is nothing to do late at night, I don't know if Tan Yue has time to talk a few words with the old monk!" A deep male voice came from outside the house, it was the heroic monk from Fang Cai.

"It's that strange monk, what's the matter with him coming to him so late?" Zhou Ping thought for a moment, and then jumped up from the bed. opened the door and said with a smile: "Zen master, please come in, the villain's residence is very sloppy, but let the Zen teacher and student bear it." ”

"The poor monk is an outsider, and the sludge jade steps are just ordinary in the old man's opinion!" Zhishan walked into the house, lifted the monk's robe and sat down on a wooden pier that was used as a bench, and said with a smile: "If the old monk didn't look bad, Tan Yue is doing something difficult to decide now, right?" ”

Zhou Ping was stunned when he heard this, but he didn't expect that this monk was so sharp-eyed, and he was about to deny it, but he happened to see the other party's two eyes, clear as water, as if there was nothing in the world that could avoid this pair of eyes. Zhou Ping's heart couldn't help but move, and he nodded slightly: "Yes, the Zen master is really discerning!" ”

"Huh!" Zhishan smiled slightly, but did not ask Zhou Ping's thoughts: "Tan Yue, when I looked at you just now, I only said half of it, do you want to listen to the remaining half now?" ”

"It's time to get to business!" Zhou Ping chuckled in his heart, knowing that the monk in front of him definitely had a plan to visit him, but he didn't know how much the other party knew about his old bottom, but he, a monk in the late Northern Song Dynasty, would never know such an outrageous thing. Thinking of this, Zhou Ping squeezed out a smile on his face and said, "Zen master, please speak, the villain listens!" ”

"I just said that the wealth of the Xue family brothers came from you, is that the truth, but then to say that your future is chaotic is a lie!" Zhishan said this, paused slightly, and then lowered his voice and said: "If I am not mistaken, your future will be under one person and above ten thousand!" After Zhishan finished speaking, he stopped making a sound and stared at Zhou Ping's eyes quietly.

"Huh!" A burst of laughter broke the silence in the room, Zhou Ping slapped his thigh, and his eyes were already laughing with tears: "Under one person, above ten thousand." Isn't that the prime minister? Zen Master, I'm already twenty-six or seventy-seven, and I'm afraid it's too late to read immediately, aren't you kidding? ”

"Zhou Tanyue, the will of heaven is subtle, and it is beyond human speculation!" Zhishan smiled slightly: "The world has been peaceful for a hundred years, and according to the poor monks, I am afraid that the way of the world is about to change." If you want to be rich, I'm afraid you can't just bury yourself in the Six Classics. ”

"This thief is a bit of a ghost!" Zhou Ping was secretly taken aback, if there was anyone in the world who knew best what would happen in this land in the future, he Zhou Ping dared to say second, and no one dared to say first. After all, the Great Song Dynasty in the eighth year of Zhenghe was still a peaceful scene, and no matter how you look at it, you can't see that the entire Central Plains will be reduced to a battlefield in a few years.

"Zen master be careful!" Zhou Ping pretended to be nervous and scared, looked around and saw that there was no one before he whispered: "How can such words be said nonsense, don't bother me!" ”

"Huh!" Zhishan suddenly grabbed Zhou Ping's right wrist, stared at Zhou Ping's eyes and said: "Zhou Tanyue is an extraordinary person, and the poor monk will naturally not treat him as an ordinary person." ”

Zhou Ping jerked his right hand, but the big hand of the supreme kindness was like an iron tong, how to break free, he had to plead: "Zen master, I am just a field guest who looks up to people's noses, how is it an extraordinary person, Zen master should not be wrong!" ”
