Chapter 9 The Ruler Goes to the Husband, See
The people who live in the north and west of the capital are either rich or noble. Correspondingly, the shops and restaurants are also very high-end. The so-called high-end places are those that ordinary people can't afford to go, so there are few customers, the streets and shops are very quiet, and the deployment of various yamen is also located here, so it always exudes such elegance and arrogance and majesty.
But the southeast side of just across the river is completely different, the place of the market, is a large area of ordinary people's residential area, the shops are civilian, there are many "entertainment places", although the teahouse restaurant is not as exquisite as the other side of the river, but also has different flavors, very distinctive.
Because the number of grass people is always much more than that of the aristocratic class, the southeast of Taifu is far more prosperous and lively than the northwest, not only the ordinary people live here bustlingly, but also the dignitaries and nobles often come and go. If the northwest is the capital of Taifu, or the heart of the entire Great Yan Kingdom, the southeast is the lungs, liver, spleen, stomach, and kidneys......
On the day of the Yuwang Mansion's vacation, it was almost noon, Shi Zhongyu was coming out of a small money village in Dongcheng angrily, and he couldn't stop cursing in a low voice.
"Hmph, it's still the capital of Dayan Kingdom, what is the political center and economic center, I'm sorry!" She took a sip, "Three taels of silver is not money, why don't you take me, and what is the minimum of five taels." In our place, the bank will also deposit a dollar, as long as you can afford to spend the cost of work. Wait, wait for Lao Tzu to open a money bank in the future, specifically absorb private funds, invest everywhere to make a lot of money, and run you to death! ”
She was indignant for a while, and finally deflated.
There was no way, she ran all morning, and even the smallest bank disliked her small principal and refused to collect it. No matter how dissatisfied she was, she had no choice but to continue to sell her body with these three taels of money.
It's really unsafe, whether it's on the street, or in the courtyard, it can be stolen at any time. But these three taels of silver may be the capital of her fortune plan. But she doesn't have a home here, and the money bank doesn't accept it, so who will keep it for her?
She looked up at the bright sun, and her heart was extremely troubled, feeling that the days after being reborn were difficult, and it was really difficult. Remembering that noon was approaching, the three silly boys were still waiting for her to have a treat, and decided to go and eat and drink first.
She had already eaten two donkey meat just now, and she felt that her stomach was empty, which showed that she had a lot better appetite due to regular physical labor.
The weather is close to the height of summer, and in order to protect her secrets, she has to tie strips of cloth on her body, which is equivalent to wearing two layers of clothes, and it is too hot to walk and walk, so she spent a penny to buy a bowl of herbal tea to drink.
Looking at the cool sister-in-law who sells herbal tea, she remembered a trustworthy candidate. Although she is not 100% sure, she should have no problem with the sixth feeling that she belongs to women. Just do it, save yourself from worrying every day, in case it is hacked, you have to blame herself for having no eyes.
Once you have a decision, your steps are much brisker. However, when she was about to walk to Jishun Street, she suddenly saw two people walking out of the embroidery workshop in front of her. A man and a woman, the female are still charming, the man is in his twenties, tall and handsome, with two evil and arrogant mustaches on his rugged handsome face, wearing a snow-white silk shirt, and a semicircular jade hanging on the landscape pattern belt...... Oh my God, it's the bearded man who hunted her down!
It's been a month, why hasn't he left Taifu yet, isn't her heart dead? It's all because she didn't look at the yellow calendar when she went out today, it must be that everything is inappropriate, and there is a disaster of blood and light.
In a panic, she looked around, hoping that there was a crack in the ground to drill, but she saw a small stall selling masks on a remote street corner, and the stall owner did not know where to go. She hurriedly ran over and picked up a pig's head mask and put it on her face. But even so, she felt exposed to danger, and looked down to see that the stall was a large rectangular table with a curtain that hung down to the ground, and she didn't think about it.
How else to say that the road is narrow! Such a big street, where the bearded man and the half-old are not good, but they are hidden in the stone, and after smoothing their breathing, they walked to the stall and stopped.
Shi Zhongyu covered her mouth, even the lightest and slowest gasp, seeing two pairs of feet appear under the cloth curtain, one of the feet was wearing stone blue satin thin low boots, instinctively recognized that it was a bearded man, so frightened that she couldn't even stop her heartbeat. Fortunately, this is the street, and the voices are noisy, otherwise the martial arts master will be able to hear her breathing, right?
"Brother Chu, are you really leaving?" asked in a low voice.
"For this matter, I have been delayed here for too long, and the turmoil at home will not be able to be suppressed." The bearded man's voice had an inexplicable calm power, "Please also ask the eldest sister to help me pay attention." ”
"Could that girl be dead?" Xu Niang asked, "Although Taifu is the national capital, with your connections and strength, you can even sweep under every green brick in the city, but there has been no news......
The bearded man muttered for a moment, "You have to see people in life, and you have to see corpses in death." ”
"But their brother and sister were calculated at sea." said, "My brother is in the sword, my sister is in the water, and the vast sea is dead...... I'm afraid I can't find the body. Alas, it was just that thing would sink into the sea with the stone, and I was afraid that it would fall into the hands of that person. ”
With a few words, Shi Zhongyu's heart turned upside down.
It seems that my brother seems to be really dead, otherwise it would not have been possible for so long without news. Moreover, the bearded man knew that she was a woman! He desperately searched for their brother and sister, not even the corpse, eighty percent for the strange box. But what's in the box? Is it important to let him stay in the capital for a month, and ask someone to look for her again before leaving! Who does the "that" in the mouth of the refer to?
"I checked, there was a teenager who suspected her, all the way to Taifudu." The bearded man looked stubborn, "The news is cut off here." Unless, the boy is not her, she really died in the sea. ”
After hearing Suosuo's voice, the bearded man said again, "Sister, be sure to help me keep an eye on it." This is a portrait of the girl, but she is dressed as a man, which is not easy to identify. ”
"Don't worry, my sister has been doing this business for so long, she doesn't rub sand in her eyes, no matter how good she is, whether she is a man or a woman, I can tell at a glance." boasted.
But no, what is the opening of the embroidery workshop, I don't know what kind of place to hide dirt and dirt. I think the two subordinates of the bearded man still have to help her bud. Phew, she'd rather jump into the jade belt river and die!
"Are you leaving?" put away the portrait and asked again.
The bearded man hummed, "My men are already waiting outside the city, so in order not to attract attention, I will leave immediately." If my sister has any news, no matter how insignificant, she will immediately send someone to tell me......" The two of them walked away as they spoke.
Shi Zhongyu secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and cautiously waited for about half a cup of tea before quietly crawling out.
"Thank you for your patronage, a total of ten Wen." As soon as she stood up straight, someone whispered in her ear, startling her.
"What Shiwen?" She reacted quickly, looked at the other party as a stall owner, and immediately retorted, "My things have rolled down here, I'm just looking for it, and I have to collect money too." ”
"Mask." The stall owner held out his hand.
Only then did Shi Zhongyu remember that he still had a pig's head on his face. However, although I heard that the bearded man had left the Taifu Capital, the strange woman was still there, and she didn't dare to take off the mask, what if she touched it? So he changed the topic and said, "A broken mask is so expensive, is it okay to be cheaper?" ”
"No bargaining." The stall owner has a tough attitude, but his face is grinning, and the criss-crossing wrinkles make his whole face look like a blooming chrysanthemum.
Shi Zhongyu looked at that face and couldn't help but be stunned.
This person actually knew him, and he was the old man who measured her words that day.
And she was wearing a mask, which originally covered her expression, but the old Dao saw that she recognized him, and said with a smile, "Little brother knows Poor Dao, right?" It's no wonder that I often set up hexagram stalls on the street, and most of the people in this Taifu capital recognize the poor way. ”
"Why did you switch to peddling again?"
"Hehe, ashamed, ashamed. Business has not been good lately, so I have to do something else to help out. "The old Dao face does not change color," The price of this mask cannot be reduced, but since I have a relationship with my little brother, why don't you give you a word test for free, right? ”
Shi Zhongyu had something in his heart, and he had an appointment with someone, so he didn't want to entangle with him more, so he paid ten cents and said casually, "Then let's test a word...... See, see you. ”
Damn, I didn't expect to "see" a bearded man. It would be nice if I could not "see" him for the rest of my life. What an unlucky "see" word.
The god smiled slightly, and put on an unpredictable virtue that cannot be revealed, "See the word is a rule." Husband, man also. Oops, there's a man leaving you. and because you did not write it by hand, but spoke it with your mouth, and said it twice, and the tongue is right and wrong. It means that you will be a little unlucky because of your tongue, but when you do, the man will be kicked aside. ”
"You're simply unprofessional." Shi Zhongyu was weak-hearted, so he said unconvinced, "It's always solved so early, what I asked was...... Finances. ”
"Fortune ......" Lao Dao stroked his beard, "I don't know your surname?" ”
"Stone."
"Stone and see, inkstone also. If the little brother wants to make a fortune, he has to start with pen and ink. ”
"Thank you." Shi Zhongyu waved his hand and left, not believing the old words at all.
If he is really that calculating, why doesn't he make some money himself? The part-time job of selling masks as a fortune teller has fully demonstrated how incompetent he is.
Wearing a pig's head mask, she swaggered down the street, knowing that if she was too sneaky, she would be eye-catching. But after analyzing the words of the bearded man and the half-aged just now, her worried heart calmed down a little.
First, the bearded man's surname was Chu, and he looked powerful, but he was restless in the rear, so he had to leave the national capital.
Second, her brother got something particularly important, so he was hunted down. Someone who wants that box...... A lot.
Third, she was right to desperately want to enter the palace, obviously the bearded man's hand didn't come in. And the in the embroidery workshop thinks that she is eighty percent dead, as long as she survives for a while and is not discovered, she will be safe.
The child's face and body have changed greatly, not to mention that she is developing. After two years, her appearance will change greatly, even if it is rare and old, it will be difficult to identify, unless it is a relative.
Fourth, she still has to find a way to make money. She doesn't want to be a slave in the palace for the rest of her life, but she needs money to change her face and live independently.
Thinking of this, the words that the old Taoist had said when she measured words popped up in her head, but she quickly shook her head again and threw them all at the back of her neck.
