Chapter 7: A Handsome Boy

Yang Qiuchi looked at the broken silver in his palm, is this silver? He had only seen silver necklaces and silver bracelets before, but he had never seen silver used as currency for trading, and he thought it was a novelty. Isn't the silver in the TV series a silver ingot in the shape of a saddle? Why did the shopkeeper give himself a few small stones in the shape of gray and white? He didn't know that the saddle-shaped silver ingot was generally the broken silver after the imperial court collected taxes, and the "silver pouring room" specially set up by the yamen melted the broken silver, and then cast it into a saddle-shaped silver ingot of fifty taels and one ingots, which was the standard style of official silver, and most of the broken silver used by ordinary people was cut silver.

Yang Qiuchi and the shopkeeper walked out of the pawnshop door, Yang Qiuchi looked at the shopkeeper, only to see him staring at the fragmentary silver in his hand, this kind of salivating eyes can't be pretended, it seems that this silver is real, the money shopkeeper did not deceive himself. Yang Qiuchi picked a small piece of broken silver from the small pile of broken silver, and then handed it to the shopkeeper: "Reward you!" ”

The shopkeeper stared at Yang Qiuchi, and seeing that he didn't seem to be joking, he pointed to the small piece of broken silver in Yang Qiuchi's palm, and then pointed to his nose, and swallowed his saliva: "Give it to me?" ”

Yang Qiuchi handed over the piece of broken silver in his hand: "Is it too little?" ”

"No, no, no!" The shopkeeper was surprised and delighted, took the silver with trembling hands, held it tightly in the palm of his hand, and spoke incoherently: "Thank you!" …… Thank you, uncle! You can ...... What a ...... you are Great people! ”

This piece of broken silver is almost one or two heavy, the inn where the shopkeeper is located is just a small inn in the county, the guests who come and go are generally some peddlers and pawns, and they are all those who can't even break a copper coin in half to spend, when they meet generous guests, it is very good to be able to reward a few big money, his salary is only six hundred a month, Yang Qiuchi rewarded him with almost one or two silver, which is equivalent to almost two months' wages of the shopkeeper, how not to make him excited. During the Yongle period of the Ming Dynasty, a tael of silver was roughly worth 1,000 yuan, and a casual reward of 1,000 yuan for a guy was considered very generous even in today's society.

"No thanks!" It is a very pleasant thing to make others grateful after all, Yang Qiuchi smiled, held up the few pieces of broken silver in his hand and wanted to take a look at them again, and with a small hand next to Leng Buding, he snatched the handful of broken silver. Yang Qiuchi was startled, and hurriedly withdrew his hand, but it was already slow, his palms were empty, and the broken pieces of silver were gone. Yang Qiuchi turned around and saw a young man standing next to him, fourteen or fifteen years old, with two big black and bright eyes flashing and flashing, his appearance was quite handsome, dressed in white satin and close-fitting shorts, obviously a child of a rich family. The young man was holding a rope tightly in his hand, and at one end of the rope was a little black dog, the little black dog was dirty and covered with dirt and dust, and the rope tightly tied around his neck made the little dog roll his eyes and desperately scratch the rope around his neck with his paws.

Yang Qiuchi saw that this person didn't look like a robber, and he was a half-old child, presumably the little son of which family was joking with him, so he was a little relieved at the moment, and stretched out his hand: "Give me back the silver!" ”

"Pay you back?" The young man tossed the money, "Don't you have a lot of money?" Reward others at every turn, this silver is considered to reward me! ”

"Tip you?" Yang Qiuchi smiled reluctantly, the silver is in the hands of others, and it doesn't seem to work if you don't do it, but this little child is weak and weak, and she can knock her over with a finger. However, I am new to the city and I am not familiar with the place, so don't make trouble, say good things to her, and it is advisable not to do anything: "Okay, little friend, I Yang has made you a friend, you keep a piece, and the rest will be returned to me, this will always work!"

"It's a reward, of course, it's all rewarded, how can you give a small piece so stingy!" The boy squeezed his eyes and smiled evilly.

A piece of broken silver is too little, which makes Yang Qiuchi cry and laugh: "Who are you?" Why am I giving you so much money? Turning his head to look at the shopkeeper, he saw him cowering and hiding behind to look at the young man, as if he was very afraid. Then he asked, "Hey, little two, do you know this child?" ”

The shopkeeper nodded, and was about to speak, when he suddenly saw the young man's face cold, and quickly shook his head again, not daring to say anything.

Seeing the appearance of the shopkeeper, Yang Qiuchi stared at the young man with doubts, and the young man smiled: "You don't even know me, you just came here, right?" ”

Yang Qiuchi was about to answer, when the puppy behind the young man let out a sad roar, desperately scratching the rope around his neck. The young man frowned, and pulled the rope in his hand, and the dog fell out one by one, and turned over to bark, but could not. Sticking out his tongue, he looked at Yang Qiuchi miserably.

Yang Qiuchi frowned, seeing that this young man abused a puppy like this, he was a little angry, and he didn't care if he was in trouble: "Why are you torturing a puppy, let it go!" ”

"Haha, how old are you, why do you tell me to let go of this puppy? It's not yours!" As he spoke, the boy played with the rope in his hand around his fingers.

Yang Qiuchi didn't bother to say more to him, and reached out to grab the hand of the young man holding the rope. The young man smiled and didn't move, and when Yang Qiuchi's hand was about to grab his arm, he turned his wrist and pointed at Yang Qiuchi's elbow a little, half of Yang Qiuchi's body was like an electric basket, sour and numb, he took a few steps back in a panic, and his heart was shocked, and the words in martial arts novels flashed in his mind - points!

Could it be that this young man knows how to point acupoints, but he just feels that his right hand is sore and numb, but he can still move, and it is not quite like the legendary acupoints, is he not good at learning, and he can't point the other party and can't move? Or maybe it's your own sour acupuncture points, deliberately making yourself sour and numb instead of being unable to move?

The boy grinned, "Is it fun?" It's just a little punishment for you, who told you to be nosy, and you didn't have a proper hand. ”

This young man knows martial arts, and seeing that the shopkeeper is very afraid of him, it can be concluded that this young man should be a child of a big family in the county town, and he is spoiled. It seems that if you can't fight the enemy, you can only outwit it.

Yang Qiuchi smiled and gave a thumbs up: "Good kung fu!" It's really commendable that a little boy can have such a cultivation as you! ”

The young man smiled and said, "It's useless for you to pat yourself on the back, you gave me this silver, thank you!" He grimaced proudly, took out a small embroidered money bag from his bosom, put the few pieces of broken silver into the money bag, and then put it back in his bosom, shook his head, and turned to leave.

Yang Qiuchi laughed: "What is this bit of silver?" I've never seen the world! ”

"What? You hillbilly dare say I haven't seen the world! The boy's face was frosty. Approached Yang Qiuchi and reached out to grab it.

Yang Qiuchi took a step back and waved his hand again and again: "Men and women don't kiss, what does it look like to move hands and feet!" ”

The young man was shocked: "How do you know that I am a woman?" This sentence is not self-confessing, it is equivalent to admitting that she is a girl. The young man turned his head to stare at the shopkeeper: "You said it!" The shopkeeper hurriedly shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Miss, how dare I, what you have always seen here, I haven't even opened my mouth, how can I say it." ”

Miss? This girl really has a background.

The girl nodded, and then asked Yang Qiuchi strangely: "Hey! How do you know I'm a girl? Is it because I don't look like it, is it leaking? ”
