Chapter 139: Picking up the old business

Ga Wa looked at the gorgeous sea of flowers, and said indifferently: "It's not that someone specially planted it, there was a big cannibal who came to our village and sowed seeds, but then he left, and he didn't come back for many years, and no one in this wasteland village cares, it looks weird and beautiful." What's wrong, daughter-in-law? ”

Jin Qing stood on the high hillside, looked at the sea of flowers below, and muttered, "This is really a good thing"

Jin Qing took Gawa down to the sea of flowers, many of the flowers have withered, and the remaining fruits are embellished on the branches, Gawa curiously watched as Jin Qing pulled off the fruits one by one and put them in the wooden box, and asked, "Daughter-in-law, what do you want this for?" ”

This flower has been blooming here for many years, and no one cares about it, why did the daughter-in-law become interested in it as soon as she came?

Jin Qing smiled and pointed to the bright red flowers that were blooming, "There is a great bard who praises it as the Forget-me-Forget Grass, but in our place, there is a uniform name for it, called the poppy. ”

Ga Wa couldn't understand what Jin Qing was saying, so she watched in a daze as Jin Qing pinched off the fruits one by one, and she hurriedly followed and helped pinch the fruits off.

The two men were busy for a while, until it was dark, and then they went home with a wooden box full of poppy fruits from the harvest. After returning home, Jin Qing did not lie down to rest, found a clean bowl, first used a knife to cut a hole in the fruit, used the bowl to catch the milky white * body that flowed out, and carefully peeled off the fruit, collected the shell, and discarded other things.

Gawa wanted to come over to help, but Jin Qing refused, he didn't understand this, and it would be bad if it was self-defeating.

During this period, there have been big cannibals from the Middle East to spread the poppy to China, and there are also records of poppy husks in traditional Chinese medicine, as for the use of poppies as opium smoke, it was more than a thousand years later, thinking of this, Jin Qing couldn't help but put down the knife in her hand and sighed, she really couldn't think of any way to stop what would happen more than a thousand years later.

Perhaps this is doomed, only the Chinese deeply feel the harm caused by drugs, the pain of the skin can alert the people who come after, this thing is an untouchable poison.

In the next two days, Jin Qing took Gawa to run all over the mountains, and every time she came back, she brought a box of weeds, and when Jin Qing went to the mountain col to harvest poppy fruits, she noticed that there were a lot of good things here, and she wanted to save money to go back to the capital, so why not go back to her old business

The people in the village all say that the woman who caught up with Gawa was a fool, and every day she didn't follow Gawa to catch fish, but ran around to pick up weeds, and set up a pot to fry and boil, I have never seen such a crazy ...... It's a pity that the good Gawa is also stupid.

Jin Qing prepared for a few days, and then took Gawa to the market, and when she arrived at the market, Jinqing tore off the inner lining of her robe and wrapped it on Gawa's head, becoming a strange-looking turban.

"Hurry up and take a look, the auction of special drugs from Da Shi" Jin Qing let go of his throat and shouted, pointing at Ga Wa and saying: "This little brother is from Da Shi, and he has brought a lot of good medicines here, some of which are dedicated to treating bruises and losses, and some are specialized in treating women's diseases, and you will definitely regret it if you don't buy it."

Gava's face is as black as a preserved egg, and she really looks like a foreigner with a headscarf, anyway, the Tang people feel quite similar to foreigners, and they are in a stage where they are stupid and unclear.

At first, Gava was very apprehensive, but later saw that Jin Qing was calm and didn't blush when he lied, and he actually calmed down, according to Jin Qing's instructions, whenever someone came to ask, he had to mumble a few words that he couldn't understand, and then Jin Qing translated it on his behalf.

At the end of the morning, it was actually sold for twenty or thirty dollars, which made Gawa very happy, he had never taken so much money in his life.

When she returned home, Gawa counted it many times, but she couldn't count it correctly. Jin Qing took the paper left over from the bag of pills and kept the account, the pen was a bald hair pen that others discarded on the street, and he caught a glimpse of Gawa still scratching his ears and cheeks, and said casually: "Don't count, it's twenty-seven dollars in total." ”

Ga Wa is very ashamed, her daughter-in-law is better at doing everything than herself, she can sell medicine, she can count, and she can write with a pen, they can't find anyone who can write in the whole village, looking at Jin Qing holding a pen with a focused expression, Ga Wa couldn't help but say: "Daughter-in-law, you are so good, we can't count, it's not easy to count days"

Jin Qing laughed, she was also very happy after selling a lot of money, this place is much richer than Zhujia Village, and it won't be long before she can save enough money to go back to the capital. Hearing Gawa compliment her like this, Jin Qing smiled with interest: "You have to count all your days?" Do you know what day it is? "No mistakes, no skipping words.

Gava immediately counted with her hands and feet, silently calculated for a long time, and shouted: "Today is July 25."

A thunderclap suddenly thundered in Jinqing's mind, shocking her soul for a long time, it was already July 25, and it had been ten days since the wedding date she agreed with Ye Wei'an, she was not in good health some time ago, her leg was broken, her heart was like ashes, lying on the bed and living a life without knowing day and night, she didn't expect that the days would pass so quickly

Gava stretched out her hand and waved it in front of Jinqing's eyes, and asked in surprise, "Daughter-in-law, what's wrong with you?" ”

Jin Qing came back to her senses, put down the pen in her hand, and walked out of the dilapidated thatched house, the moon had not yet risen, the bright Milky Way was like a magnificent river flowing through the sky, Jin Qing sat on the ground and looked at the starry sky, life was like drifting in the river, some people climbed upstream, but she was too stupid and too serious, so she was washed by the river to the place where the bird did not lay eggs.

Originally, he wanted to go back to the capital before the wedding period and make it clear to Ye Wei'an, after which they returned to the bridge and returned to the road, he took his Yangguan Road, and Jinqing took his own single-plank bridge, and they never got along. It's just that I'm in the water, and it's too late for anything, even if I save enough money now, it's too late.

Thinking about those people who are still in the capital, I am afraid that they will hate themselves to death, especially their cheap father, who wants to be the father-in-law of the country, and now their hopes are disappointed, I don't know how to hate themselves, and then go back, I am afraid it will not be easy to face.

But what could be more important than being alive? The river took her for hundreds of miles, but it didn't drown her, and she was a person who had died twice, so what else was there to be afraid of

Ga Wa chased out worriedly, saw Jin Qing sitting on the ground and watching the stars, and also learned the appearance of Jin Qing and sat next to Jin Qing, watched for a long time, and couldn't see what a name was in it, he looked at this starry sky almost every day, isn't it like this

Jin Qing looked at him scratching his ears and cheeks, pointed to the sky with a smile and said: "Look, those seven stars are connected like a spoon, called the Big Dipper, and those stars, connected like a flying swan, they form a constellation, called Cygnus......"

The sky in the northwest is really good, the air is clean, the latitude is good, the visibility is good, it is really an excellent observation point, Jinqing actually does not know much about the astronomical constellations, and tried his best to point out the constellations he knows to Gawa one by one.

Gava imagined it for a long time, and finally figured out the Big Dipper, but other constellations, he couldn't understand them anyway, those stars, his daughter-in-law said that they looked like some sweet goose, but no matter how he looked at them, they were a bunch of messy stars, where was his daughter-in-law good-looking

But Ga Wa didn't want to say that she couldn't understand, as if she was far away from her daughter-in-law, she hollowed out her mind and thought about a few topics, and said with a smile: "Daughter-in-law, the moon only rises in the second half of the night these days."

Jin Qing smiled: "Yes, because it is the second half of the month, and the moon rises in the second half of the night." ”

The daughter-in-law even knows this, this is the conclusion that he has observed for many years Gava suddenly became a little discouraged, she is not as good as her daughter-in-law in all aspects, the daughter-in-law is good-looking and understands everything, and she can make money, she makes more money in a day than she earns in her life.

But the daughter-in-law always looks full of worries, as if she is full of stories, but unfortunately none of these stories are involved in him, Gawa is a little lost, but soon cheered up again, at least in the daughter-in-law's story in the future, he will be involved

"Gava, do you want to learn words? I'll teach you," Jin Qing said with a smile.

"Learning words?" Gava swallowed, "Is it possible that if I recognize the words, I can become the bookkeeper of those goods stores in the town?" ”

Who is the bookkeeper? Even those rich owners have to be treated respectfully and respectfully people who sit there and write braille every month, they can make a lot of money, and they can live a very easy life in the eyes of Gawa, and they can do the accounting room, they are simply the happiest people in the world, and now the unattainable dream seems to be close at hand, and they can reach out and reach out.

"Accounts?" Jin Qing was a little surprised, "I didn't expect you to want to do this." Jin Qing groaned and looked at the black and thin Gawa, "However, it's okay for you to do this, your life is stable, there is no big risk, and if you are lucky, you can make some extra money by making a fake account...... Jin Qing muttered, originally she also wanted to send Ga Wa to the school in the capital, but since Ga Wa has no interest in studying and taking the imperial examination, it is not bad to learn something to do the accounting room, and the road of the imperial examination is really not easy to walk.

How did Gava know that he and Jinqing were not thinking about the same level at all, he didn't even dare to think about going to the academy to study, the most decent person he had ever seen was the account office of the goods store, neatly dressed, polite and polite, and easy to make money at work.

With the faint oil light in the thatched house, Jin Qing held Gava's hand and wrote a line of poetry.

Gava's excited hands were sweating, and for the first time in his life, there were words written from under his hands.

After writing, Jin Qing pointed to the words and read them to Gava word by word, "I hope that people will last a long time, and they will be together for thousands of miles." ”

"What does that mean?" Gava couldn't understand it.

Jin Qing patiently explained: "This is a poem, which means that I hope that relatives and friends can last a long time, even if we are thousands of miles away and not together, we are still under the same moon, which was written by Su Dongpo." Then Jin Qing knocked his head, he was dizzy, Mr. Su Shi was not born yet

Gava raised her head and wondered, "Su Dongpo? Which village? ”

Jin Qing was speechless, and after a while, he smoothed the handwriting on the ground with his hand, and said vaguely: "Aren't you going to be an accountant?" I'll teach you addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division first. ”
