004 Gotta get back to his old job
I couldn't sleep, so the two of them got up and went to the river, soaked the willow branches in the water, soaked them in the mouth after soaking softly, and the fibers could be used as toothbrushes. Almost all the poor people in this era deal with it like this, but it's really not comfortable, and it's really inconvenient to have no money.
casually stuffed two mouthfuls of steamed buns and went to the county seat.
Counting the more than ten years of the original body, Su Qin is also the first time to go to such a big place as the county seat.
Not to mention, most of the houses that lived in the village before were thatched houses or tiled houses, but there were also many in the countryside in her time, which was not new. But it was only as soon as he entered the county town and looked at the ancient buildings and people on the avenue that Su Qin really felt that he had really changed a very different time and space.
It is said that most of the ancient cities are rich in the east and noble in the west, cheap in the south and poor in the north, and it is similar here in Pingyang County.
Entering the city happens to be the south city gate, the vegetable market is crowded at the intersection not far from the city gate, and all kinds of vendors and shops are also opened here, and everyone has a mixture of fish and dragons, and the sound of yo can be heard everywhere. Don't look at the time, it's still early, it's already crowded, and everyone is rushing to buy some fresh vegetables and fruits at this time.
Su Qin saw several people dressed up as subordinates coming out to procure, almost all of them coming up from the crossings on the east and west sides.
"Sister, the dock is over there, let's go over, I'm afraid I won't be able to catch up with today's work if it's too late."
Su An urged a few words, pulled Su Qin and walked over there, walking in a hurry, almost hitting the three people in front of him.
Fortunately, Su Qin turned around early, wiped the side tightly, and hurriedly didn't look at the man who was almost hit by her, the body was crooked, and he used his strength to hold the things in his hand, and the three round copper plates reflected the sun's rays, and four words were vaguely engraved, "Qianlong Tongbao".
"Eh, this isn't a long-eyed thing! Give Ben less ......"
"Young master, it's better to say goodbye." Before the man finished speaking, two subordinates on the side hurriedly grabbed him, "It's just a little girl, let's just sneak out, let's not make trouble, and the old man should be beaten again...... It's time to be angry again. ”
"Then let her go?"
"Let it go, let it go."
"Okay, that young master is generous, don't worry about her." The man turned his head and put Qianlong Tongbao into his purse leisurely, and the sound of a few copper plates colliding was not as loud as the impact of the three gold and jade pendants hanging around his waist, which was really very inconsistent with the silk jacquard wrapped in a gold and silver belt.
He grinned a little awkwardly, "Are you two rich?" ”
"Young master, the money in our room is not all the same and is managed by the master, who has more."
"Sir! Master! The man angrily put away the fan in his hand, and "pop" was knocked on the head of one of the two subordinates. "Every day, I know that I am talking to him in front of me, who is the two of you masters, me and my father?"
"You're you, no, it's all, it's all."
"Stupid thing!" The man scolded angrily again, and the fan in his hand failed to knock down again, and a shout came from not far away, "Young Master Lu!" ”
There were also two guys wearing gold and silver, and the hippie smiling faces could be described with the word "smiling".
"Zhang Shao, Wang Shao." The subordinate hurriedly said hello.
"Lu Dashao, it's hard to come out today, how about it, are we going to Fenghua Xueyue, or are we going to spend a lot of money?"
"What are you going to do?" Lu Shaobai rolled his eyes, "You two don't know, in order to control me, the old man in my family spends all his money on my pocket money every day, and he runs out of the house." ”
"Eh, what are you afraid of if you don't have any money, who in the entire Nanxian County doesn't know who you Lu Shao is."
"That's it." Zhang Shao patted Lu Shao's chest, "Your father is the richest man in Nanxian County, and your uncle is our magistrate, this discussion of wealth and power is the leader of our Nanxian County, where are you Lu Dashao Lu Ziqi going, it's not just a matter of brushing your face." ”
"That's true." Lu Ziqi was blown by Zhang Shaoniu's neck and stretched a little, "Then, let's go?" ”
"Let's go!"
"Wait." Lu Ziqi said, and then looked at the two subordinates on the side, "You two go back first, and I'll go back when I go." ”
"But the young master ......"
"Get out, I don't listen to what Young Master Ben says, right, be careful that I beat you." Lu Ziqi kicked on the buttocks, "By the way, on the way back, I will buy a few good chickens and rabbits for Young Master Ben, remember, this is food, but you have to record it in the account room at home, don't spend my money." ”
Lu Ziqi said, grabbed the necks of the two fox friends and dogs, and walked towards the most lively gambling house on South Street with the steps that the six relatives did not recognize.
……
Su Qin also followed Su An to the dock that Aunt Li said, and looked for a few places to go, and finally someone was willing to recruit a worker of Su An's age, but it was a pity that the salary was ......
"Seven Wen a day?!" Su Qin's brows were about to furrow into the corners of his eyes, "This is too little." ”
"Too little?" The foreman looked impatient, "Who doesn't know, my offer here is the highest." ”
"Sister, Qiwen is good, I can resist more goods, maybe I can make more money."
"No, no, no." Su Qin shook her head, when she came over just now, she saw that the dock workers were fighting a lot and heavy alone, and they were tired and tired to live like this.
But there is nothing in the house at home, and if you want Su An to sleep in the house, a screen is at least a few hundred yuan, and it will cost more than ten yuan to buy a piece of cloth, plus all kinds of needs for pots and pans, it is estimated that one or two silver can come down, and the wharf will have to work for a few months, if they don't starve to death, Su An will have to die of exhaustion.
"Let's go, Xiao An, this job is no longer done."
"But sister......
"Listen to me." Su Qin pulled Su An all the way, and walked to the South Street again in a huff.
What is this, after all, she relied on fortune telling and feng shui before, and she couldn't afford to live in a villa and she could eat a lot of fish, she was not used to being poor in this kind of life.
Looks like it's time to get back to your old ways.
Su Qin walked in front of a gambling house before stopping, holding in his hand the five cents that Aunt Li lent them when he went out in the morning, took a deep breath, and finally walked into the gambling house.
This move startled Su Andu, "Sister, do you know what kind of place this is?" ”
"Of course." Su Qin made up his mind, "Whether you can turn over or not depends on whether your sister's life is hard or not." ”
Ill-gotten wealth is not to be gained, she knows that.
Especially for people like them who have learned the Book of Changes, they will definitely be attacked if they use divination on crooked paths, and they will be ruined at least and bloody and dead.
However, anyway, she doesn't have Qianlong Tongbao to make hexagrams, so she shouldn't be too retributioned if she uses some of the partial doors she knows.
Master, all the old ancestors, you all remember what the disciples said, but the little disciples are all going to starve to death, and there is such a thing as breaking a little bit of the little precept.
If I want to come to Master, I will still forgive her.
