Chapter Twenty-Nine: Cheetahs Hurt People
The next day, Yi Jiaren took the "Dictionary of All Nations" to Zhongxiufang to order.
helped the shopkeeper Wang open the market, and she went into her small room to read. Thinking that his salary had risen and he seemed to have become a winner in life, he was so excited that he couldn't see it, and ran out to lie on the counter and chat with the shopkeeper Wang.
There were no customers in the store early in the morning, and Shopkeeper Wang was happy to chat with her.
"Shopkeeper Wang, is there anything interesting in Ning'an City?" After coming for so long, Xiao Yuwen took her to see the bow last time, and she didn't know any of the other pastimes, and she had more days to rest in the future, so she had to go out to play.
The shopkeeper smacked his lips: "Tsk, there are more fun, juju, tug-of-war, juggling, listening to music and everything, it's just a matter of money." ”
"How much money?" Yi Jiaren pondered that she had a lot of silver for five taels a month, and she should be able to go there occasionally.
"If you don't do anything in the eastern suburbs paddock, you have to charge two taels of silver, and you have to give one or two tea money as soon as you enter the music workshop, and you have to pay for tea..."
"Wait, don't talk about it." Yi Jiaren couldn't listen to it anymore, she regretted it a little, the rich shopkeeper was so easy to talk to, why didn't she get more salary, I am afraid that the five taels of silver will be over with a cup of tea.
She bowed her head and sighed: "When I earn more silver in the future, I will come to ask you about the place to spend the silver, and I will still ask you where to make money." ”
Shopkeeper Wang thought about it, and smiled with a white fat face: "Yes, a few days ago, the cheetah of the Wu family, the general of the town army, broke free from the rope and ran out and injured a few people. ”
The princes and nobles of the Tianshun Dynasty were proud to keep birds of prey and beasts as pets, and from time to time there were vassal states that offered foreign animals to the imperial court to show friendship.
"Or I'll go with you, you have a lot of meat, and when it's full, I'll use a rope again." Saying that, Yi Jiaren took a ruler and knocked on the fat head of the shopkeeper Wang: "Wait until I earn the five hundred taels of silver for you to burn." ”
Shopkeeper Wang smiled: "Don't say that, girl, there is a brave man under the heavy reward, maybe the girl won't have a chance to burn it for me." ”
"Hmph, I won't gossip with you." After chatting for a long time, it's time to go in and read the book, and if you can't read the book, you have to read it, and you have to rely on it to eat in the future.
"What I said is true, you should be careful on the road sooner or later, don't be alone." The king's shopkeeper shouted from behind.
"Got it!"
After watching it for more than an hour, the guy came in and called out a foreigner from outside and asked her to go out.
Yi Jiaren agreed, this is the first job, and she has to pay attention to it, so she sorted out her makeup inside before she came out.
The person who came was white-skinned, black-haired, and wearing an exotic costume with broad shoulders and exaggerated shoulders, Yi Jiaren didn't know what nationality he was, nodded to him, and the person greeted her in his own Chinese dialect.
There is a world of difference between ancient foreign languages and modern foreign languages, the man spoke briefly, Yi Jiaren didn't understand, and suddenly his face was a little unbearable. She was invited by the rich shopkeeper for five taels of silver, and she couldn't do it on the first day.
After a long time, both sides felt that they were talking to the cow, and the foreigner was impatient to raise his legs to leave, Yi Jiaren hurriedly stopped him, ran to the back and took out the "Dictionary of All Nations", and followed the phonetic symbols on it page by page to the person, and it took a long time to figure out that this person was from the lion country, speaking ancient Tamil, which is a small language, who has nothing to learn this.
Finally sent this person away, Yi Jiaren wiped the sweat on his head, it seems that it is not easy to earn these five taels of silver.
She didn't come out again for an afternoon to chat with the shopkeeper Wang, and studied the book carefully.
Yi Linfeng came to pick her up in the evening, and while walking on the road, Yi Jiaren remembered the words of the king's shopkeeper during the day, and his eyes glanced around from time to time.
"Beauty, what's wrong with you?"
"Brother, the cheetah with a family in the city has run out and will eat people, let's go quickly." Yi Jiaren said and grabbed her brother's arm.
Yi Linfeng also glanced around: "There are so many people around, what are you afraid of?" ”
"Oh, let's go, weird scary." Yi Jiaren pulled him and ran straight home.
At night, lying in the ventilated room everywhere, Yi Linfeng was so cold that he couldn't sleep, and he also heard about it in the academy today. Whoever catches the cheetah will have a reward of five hundred taels of silver. Five hundred taels is not a small amount.
Thinking of the five hundred taels of silver, he didn't sleep all night.
The next day, the students in the academy talked about it again.
"Eh, I heard that the Wu family's cheetah hurt people again, and ran to a house and bit a few people."
"Why didn't anyone arrest them?"
"That's a cheetah, it eats people."
Listening to them chatting, Qin Ziyu pushed Xiao Yuwen, who was sleeping on the table, and handed him a list: "This is the job you asked me to give you last time, Mizusaki Academy, nine copies, what you want to write is on paper, and you will need it tomorrow." ”
Xiao Yuwen stretched out a hand and put the list into his sleeve, but his eyes didn't open.
Qin Ziyu sat in front of him and didn't leave: "Brother Xiao, if you go and clean up that beast, you can get five hundred taels of silver, and save that beast from harming people everywhere." ”
"Forget it, you'd better let me live two more days." Xiao Yuwen lay on the table and didn't look up.
"If only you killed that beast with an arrow from afar, and didn't want you to get close." Xiao Yuwen's riding and archery skills are so good that no one in the entire Nanshan Academy can surpass him.
"People want to live, I killed it, and others have to find me to pay for the money." The bounty is clear, to be captured alive. If it weren't for the reward, someone would have taken it away long ago.
Qin Ziyu sneered and said, "Hehe, then let's all be careful, don't become the tooth sacrifice of that beast." ”
In the evening, Xiao Yuwen rode a horse to the front of the mountain gate, and suddenly a delicate-looking girl flashed out from behind the stone corridor, and the horse was frightened for a while, and picked up his front hooves and almost dropped Xiao Yuwen, but fortunately he reacted quickly and grabbed the saddle so that he didn't fall off.
Look at Guo Xun's sister Guo Yao again.
She stopped in front of Xiao Yuwen like no one: "Why haven't you come to play with me for so long?" ”
Xiao Yuwen was shocked, breathed a sigh of relief, and didn't have a good face: "Didn't you already dump me, what am I going to do with you?" ”
Guo Yao was not angry: "Then Miss Ben will give you another chance." ”
"Miss Xie Guo, you don't need it." Xiao Yuwen rode forward.
"Eh, take me for a horseback ride." Guo Yao shouted in the back, grabbing the saddle to come up.
Xiao Yuwen hurriedly stopped her from coming up: "Eh, what are you doing, you are going to get married, don't misunderstand when your future husband sees it." ”
It's okay not to mention the future father-in-law, but when she mentions it, Guo Yao pouted and was about to cry: "It's good to see it, I just want him to see it." ”
"Eh, you're crying to your good sister, don't look for me?" Xiao Yuwen doesn't want to be her boyfriend anymore, she will be dumped at every turn, it's nothing good.
"I'm going to look for you." She really cried when she said that.
Xiao Yuwen couldn't see the girl crying, as soon as his three younger sisters cried in front of him, he couldn't resist it, "Alas, I'm afraid of you, come up." ”
Guo Yao instantly put away her tears, grinned, grabbed the saddle and got on the horse, and wrapped her arms around Xiao Yuwen's waist from behind, "Let's go." ”
"Eh, be careful. By the way, where is your in-law's family? Xiao Yuwen said and moved forward.
"Zhenguo General Wu's family."
"Wu Yunfei?" Xiao Yuwen asked. Wu Yunfei he knew, he was still his distant cousin, the same age as himself, he followed his father to fight in the south and the north, and he was already a loyal general at a young age.
He was once his idol, and he almost gave up his pen and followed Rong.
