Chapter 125: A penny stumps a hero

At Huiji Wharf, more than a dozen canopy boats have been docked at the beginning of the sun.

The dead wind lamps hanging from the masts shimmered in the mist, swaggering left and right.

This side is a small town that is not far from the inland river, and if you want to travel between the big cities, you still have to start from the big pier on the other side. There was an army stationed there, and it was much safer than the small docks.

A young man in white, carrying a large package of luggage, was arguing with the boatman, "The money will not be owed to you, but the purse is stolen, and I can only go to a friend's house to borrow it." It's useless for you to entangle me like this, why don't you choose to trust"

"Phew, you kid also said that someone stole your purse, you were on my boat all the way, seeing that you are also a scholar, you didn't arrange for others to share the boat, who can steal your money in this situation and want to repay the debt, and I don't know how to find a reliable reason."

"I never pay my debts. If you are not at ease, come with me and fetch it. ”

"I'll go with you, and you ask your friend to give me the money"

"Nature."

"Don't try to lie to me, you're a liar, and your friend must be just as scoundrel. If you rob with your backhand, how can I resist? ”

The boy frowned. He had no experience in messing around with the peddlers' pawns, and he was polite and reasonable, but the other party couldn't listen to half a word at all.

The two have been entangled for a long time, and seeing that the morning fog is about to disperse, there has not been a method that both sides can agree on, and the young man began to be a little irritable.

There were more and more people on the dock, and the owner of the boat began to urge again, claiming that the boy was delaying him from picking up passengers.

It's not a way to get entangled like this. The boy gritted his teeth and tore off a piece of the jade pendant from his waist. It was the only valuable object on him, "This thing is mortgaged to you, I will go and get the money, and I will send it to you later, please be sure to keep it properly"

The owner of the ship is also knowledgeable, and when he saw that the jade pendant was smooth in texture, it was smooth and flowing in the sun. grabbed it, rubbing back and forth with the rough fingers that had been supporting the penny all year round. The face that was still hanging immediately became brilliant. With the jade pendant, he was about to walk to the boat.

The young man looked at the jade pendant distressedly, and shouted again, "Please be sure to keep it properly, I'll be back soon."

Stomping his foot hard, he quickly ran to his friend's house closest to the dock.

"Huhu" propped his knees, panting, looked at the chaimen in front of him, and shouted loudly, "Brother Juyuan, Brother Juyuan, are you at home" and shouted twice.

Finally, the door opened. The young man showed a happy face "Brother Juyuan".

"You are"

Yun Niang stared at the young man outside the door, looking at the other party looking quite embarrassed, but she couldn't figure out who it was."

She remembered what kind of friends she had in her father-in-law, but the young man in front of her was sweaty, his hair was scattered, and his white clothes were probably stained with a lot of mud.

That person should be a more beautiful and refined image than Ruan's son, although he is young, he is quite tall. Xin's long posture stands outstanding, like pine and bamboo, indifferent and indifferent.

But the person in front of him, although the outline is similar, his temperament is very different. Yun Niang walked up to the front with a wooden basin for laundry, and said tentatively, "But, Ji Gongzi"

"Sister-in-law. It's me, Ji Kang."

Don't look at him so categorically, but he has never seen Shantao's wife at all. has been a guest at Juyuan's house several times, but his wife has never come out to serve, so naturally he has no chance to see him.

But he will never admit the wrong way, this must be the Juyuan family. And dressed like this, he was able to come out of Juyuan's house, and asked him if his surname was Ji. can only be a sister-in-law.

He only had time to make bold assumptions now, and he couldn't carefully verify them. In order to ensure that you get your jade pendant back as soon as possible, you can get the money first.

Damn thief, for the first time he felt that money was such an important thing.

Listening to the reason, Yun Niang didn't dare to underestimate it. Most of her husband's friends are fairy-style people, and they must disdain to lie. Moreover, although their family was poor, they could not even afford to pay for a ferry.

Hurriedly turned back to the room, and took out an inconspicuous wooden box from under the bed, which contained some Daquan 2,000 of inferior quality than five baht wrapped in coarse cloth. Count a few out of them and set them aside. He carefully rewrapped the remaining coins and put them in their original places.

took the odds and pieces and handed them to Ji Kang's hands.

Ji Kang was very grateful, and dared to go to the pier, hoping to catch the man's next boat back to the ferry, so that he could ask him for props.

Qian Xiaoqian and Shantao borrowed the ox cart they had borrowed from the village before, and swayed all the way until noon, and then walked back to Shantao's path.

"I thought that Ruan's drunk driving was already unstable, but I didn't want this uncle in the village to drive even crazier."

If these two were in modern times, they would have to go in. The only difference is that one is for drunk driving and the other is for speeding.

"Juyuan, do you have a nephew?" Qian Xiaoqian suddenly asked.

Shantao was stunned for a moment, and even thought about it seriously, shook his head and said, "No." ”

"Do you know the man at the door?"

Following the direction of his finger, Shantao took a closer look. At the door of his house, Yun Niang was handing something to the young man opposite.

Looking at the back, there is a feeling of familiarity and unfamiliarity.

It wasn't until the other party turned away that he suddenly saw it clearly, waved his hand and shouted "Uncle Night"

Ji Kang took the money and was in a hurry to redeem the jade pendant, but he vaguely heard someone calling him, but he didn't bother to find the source of the sound, and ran away as soon as he slipped away.

Qian Xiaoqian looked at the moving rabbit in amazement, "That's Ji Kang"

Shan Tao nodded. It was the first time he had seen Ji Kang, who had lost Fengyi like this, "He has something urgent." ”

Qian Xiaoqian followed and nodded, "Probably." ”

Before walking closer, Yun Niang also saw Shantao and Qian Xiaoqian walking in the distance.

Shantao took the tub, rolled up his sleeves, and didn't even prepare to rest, so he had to work for Yun Niang.

Yun Niang blushed slightly, looking at the intimate husband as soft as water, probably thinking that it was a great blessing to be able to marry this person in this life

"Did Uncle Ye come here, I just saw it." Shantao asked. Spread the soaked clothes on the stones and beat them with wooden sticks. He struck and folded his clothes toss and turn.

"Hmm. His purse was touched, and he had to pledge his valuables, which I had just given him and should be able to redeem them. ”

"Hey, it's rare to have something that Ji Kang and others think are valuable. I don't know what it is. ”

Hey, Shantao's sentence sounds very ambiguous, what is called a valuable item that is considered valuable by others. It is difficult to say that Ji Kang's values are very unique

"It's a jade pendant." Yun Niang interjected.

Shan Tao's hand tapping on the clothes paused for a moment, and his expression was clear.

"Juyuan, have you guessed this" Qian Xiaoqian saw Shantao's micro-table at a glance, and gossiped to him. The chapter content is being restored, so please visit it later.
