Chapter 3 Tang Nu Jade Cicada

Nie Ling was holding twenty-seven copper coins in his excitement, thinking in his heart, should he secretly hide seven, no, hide ten......

It's no wonder that Nie Ling is out of luck, in the more than two months she has been on the run, she has completely understood the importance of money, and the greedy nature of businessmen hidden in the deepest part of her heart has begun to be revealed.

Nie Ling's ancestors were merchants.

It is said that his grandfather's grandfather was originally a merchant of the Tang Dynasty, entered the Turkic holy city, and his talent was favored by the Turkic Khan, and he became a staff officer of the Turkic Khan.

Later, his grandfather's father, his grandfather, and his father all served as princes with different surnames in the holy city, on the one hand, to help the Great Khan make money, and on the other hand, to give advice to the Turkic people and govern the country.

In Nie Ling's generation, there was a sudden rebellion in the Turkic holy city, and although Nie Ling's ancestors were glorious and in high positions, they were Han after all.

A rebellion came down, the Nie family was in chaos, the grandfather was hacked to death, the father was gone, Nie Bell and the personal maid escaped in the chaos, disguised as a man, all the way south, and was tortured.

For a few pennies, his maid was bitten to death by a mad dog while begging, and Nie Lingdang was also captured by slave traders and sold to the old rich man in Suzhou City......

Thinking of this, Nie Ling couldn't help but shudder.

You can't be a servant girl if you kill it, it's too miserable!

Seeing Song Kai pointing his finger over, Nie Ling's face turned pale and said, "You...... What do you mean? You're going to hand me over to the government? Sell to the old man? Song Kai, I knew you were a despicable villain who didn't keep your word! ”

Ah Fu also looked at Nie Ling, wiped the snot on his face, and asked, "Da Lang, this woman ...... Can it really be sold for money? ”

Song Kai wiped his cold sweat, there is really a gap between the Tang people's thinking and his own, even if he is embarrassed, he will not sell human beings.

"Not to sell her! I mean...... Well, those copper coins," Song Kai pointed to the copper coins in Nie Ling's hand.

"Mine!" Nie Lingdang held the copper coin on her chest, and when she squeezed it like this, her chest was concave and convex, it seemed that this girl's capital was not bad.

Song Kai and Ah Fu also looked at Nie Ling.

Nie Lingdang also felt a little embarrassed, and changed his words: "I...... I picked it up. ”

"Then let's use it as a room fee," Song Kai walked over and snatched the copper coin from Nie Ling's hand.

Nie bell does not give.

Song Kai snatched the woman's hand from it, not to mention, the fingers were quite tender, but they were a little dirty.

Nie Ling glared at Song Kai hatefully, and muttered in her heart, wait for this girl to turn over, see that I don't need to stone you to death with gold.

Ah Fu saw those copper coins and sighed, "Da Lang, you don't know that firewood and rice are expensive, thirty copper coins are enough for dinner......

"That's okay, Fauber, let's go outside and buy some food, hey, what county lord, you stay in the inn and clean up these messes," Song Kai ordered casually.

"I'm the lord of the county...... Okay, but I'll have to take my share of dinner, I'...... I haven't eaten in a day," Nie Bell whispered pitifully.

Song Kai waved his hand and beckoned Ah Fu to go shopping together.

Coming through, everything is new to Song Kai, Suzhou City at this time belonged to the upper state city in the Tang Dynasty, and it was among the top eight in the country. In fact, looking at the area and population density alone, it is firmly in the top three.

During the Tang Dynasty, the pace of life was very slow, and walking on the streets thousands of years ago, Song Kai's previous grievances and pains gradually disappeared.

There is a river flowing through the street, the waterway of Suzhou is extremely developed, the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal flows through here, there are important water sources such as Suhang River and Taihu Lake, and the tributaries are all over the city, which not only brings a bumper harvest of fish and rice, but also stimulates transportation, and prospers the commercial economy of Suzhou.

Even though it was afternoon, the market was still busy.

Peasants from outside the city came here with their surplus rice, chickens, ducks, geese, pigs and mutton, etc., and of course, they had to leave at night before the city gates were closed.

Not far from the bazaar, is a wide river, along both sides of the river, is a beautiful embroidery building, the river is parked with a painting boat, although it is afternoon, there is also the sound of silk bamboo piano faintly comes.

Let go of the past and live only for the sake of life.

A total of 27 copper coins, it is enough to buy some food, at this time agricultural products including chicken, duck and fish meat are quite cheap, and the purchasing power of a penny is equivalent to more than a dollar in later generations. However, cloth, clothes, shoes, kitchen knives and so on are much more expensive, and an ordinary kitchen knife costs 200 wen, and it is really not sharp.

After all, it was the era of peasant weaving, and the handicraft industry was a small workshop situation, and it was normal for these things to be time-consuming and laborious, and the price was high.

Song Kai bought some pork, garlic sprouts, eggs, etc., and asked Ah Fu to carry them, and walked around the market again.

Ah Fu followed behind Song Kai with some surprise, muttering in his heart, his young master seemed to be a little different, he used to only read some poetry and scriptures, let alone buy vegetables, and he couldn't even wear clothes.

Today is very different.

Because when you buy something, you will also bargain!

After turning around, the sun is in the west, it should be the beginning of autumn, and it is a little cold.

Song Kai walked back along the bluestone path, river willows, bluestone slabs, antique streets, and bamboo buildings in the distance, everything made Song Kai intoxicated.

On the road, a woman walked towards Song Kai with small steps.

The woman's body is a flower-white short back, with a long ink-colored skirt on her lower body, and a scarf on her head, covering her mouth, so she can't see the specific situation clearly, and she only feels that her figure is a little plump.

The folk customs of the Tang Dynasty were quite free, and although the imperial court now vigorously promoted Confucianism, Confucius, Mencius, and Shengxue, it had not been ruined by Cheng Yi, Zhu Xi and others, so women's etiquette was not strict.

The woman came in a hurry, followed by a man, the man was an acquaintance, it was the person who insulted Ah Fu at the door of the store today, Yang Huaiyan.

Seeing this, Ah Fu immediately grabbed Song Kai, and whispered tremblingly: "Da Lang, don't talk too much, let's not fight with Yang Huaiyan, his father is a county prince, we can't afford to mess with him." ”

Song Xingxing was puzzled, why did he fight with Yang Huaiyan? I forgot to ask this question.

The woman's footsteps stopped, panting slightly, and when she got closer, Song Kai found that the woman's birth was round and jade, and she was very good-looking.

"Song Kai, you get out...... Get out of the way," Yang Huaiyan from behind also rushed over, panting and speaking.

Song Kai frowned, but he didn't immediately return the favor.

The woman approached, her eyes staring at Song Kai.

Song Kai was a little embarrassed, he glanced sideways at Ah Fu, then looked at the woman again, and said, "That, the girl has something to say." I've been having a bad head lately and I've forgotten a lot of things. ”

"Hahahaha, Mrs. Liu, I said it a long time ago, Song Lang in your mouth, it's unreliable, oh, the food in their hands is still bought with the copper money I rewarded, hahahaha, I didn't expect the nerd to be enlightened, I don't recognize you as a lady," Yang Huaiyan laughed heartily in the back, he naturally thought that Song Kai was afraid of him, so he opened his mouth to deny Liu Yuchan.

Song Kai was a little confused, but his face was no longer good, and this Yang Huaiyan was too insulting.

Liu Yuchan stared at Song Kai with her eyes, showing a little annoyance in her eyes, she didn't speak, turned her head and continued to run away.

Yang Huaiyan whistled at Song Kai, "I always thought you were a pig's head, and it seems that you also know about civilization." ”

"Fuck off," Song Kai scolded.

Yang Huaiyan pointed at Song Kai viciously, and then continued to chase the woman in front of him.

Song Kai turned his head to look at Ah Fu in confusion, "Fu Bo, who is that woman?" ”

Seeing Song Kai's serious expression, Ah Fu couldn't help but feel sad, and the old tears flowed down as soon as he could, "Da Lang, why are you so miserable, no one remembers." ”

"Just tell me who she is," Song Kai was sullen, this old man is menopausal, and he has a runny nose at every turn.

She ...... Hey, she is also your childhood sweetheart, not far away from the daughter of the shopkeeper Liu, Liu Yuchan, the little lady of the Liu family is also a good person, when our Song family was at its peak, the lord once joked with the shopkeeper Liu, saying that it was too big for you to get married, and the shopkeeper Liu also smiled and said yes. Later, our family declined, and the shopkeeper Liu was naturally unwilling, no, he was marrying his daughter outside, and Yang Huaiyan was also one of the shopkeepers Liu, "Ah Fu said for a while.

Song Kai let out an "ah" and said, "Then, let's also go to propose?" ”

Ah Fu glared at Song Kai and cried again, "Da Lang, you just changed your sex, why are you confused again, Shopkeeper Liu doesn't let the little lady see you, and naturally he won't let her marry you, little master, let's not get involved in these things, wait for a while, the old slave will give you a good match, that is." ”

As he spoke, there was a shouting from there.

"Li Huaiyan! You're going to get out of the way. Don't say that my father hasn't decided yet, even if he does, I won't marry you if I die! The woman's voice was a little sharp.

The people around looked around.

Song Kai also looked at the stone bridge not far away, on the stone bridge, Liu Yuchan pointed at Yang Huaiyan and reprimanded loudly, even in the enlightened Tang Dynasty, not many people can do this kind of style of women.

Yang Huaiyan blushed, he bit the paper fan in his hand, and said: "Mrs. Liu, why bother like this, the order of the parents, the words of the matchmaker......"

"Plop"

Before Yang Huaiyan's words fell, a figure jumped directly from the stone bridge into the river, it was Liu Yuchan.

This river is the main river of Suzhou City, and the sediment must be cleaned every year, and the middle of the river is four or five meters deep.

Seeing Liu Yucian jumping into the river, the people around him screamed, these days, there are very few men who know how to water, let alone girls, how can girls have the opportunity to swim in the river.

Song Kai also figured this out, he pulled his legs and ran to the small bridge, took off his robe as he ran, and when he arrived at the river, he was only wearing a close-fitting pants, and jumped into the river under the plop.

"Wow......"

The people around him were dumbfounded, Ah Fu was dumbfounded for a long time, until Song Kai jumped into the river, he remembered, and cried and shouted, "Little master, little master, come back, you don't know how to water!" ”

An old man with a hat fishing by the river slowly raised his head and looked at the two people fluttering in the river, and there was a rare smile on his indifferent face.
