Chapter 25 Buying Grain

Chen Wei was taken aback and said with a smile: "Ah Rong, is it possible that you want to play the piano?" ”

Chen Rong smiled and nodded.

The three girls laughed at the same time - along the way, except for a few celebrities, no one touched the piano. Because everyone knows that in the ranks of these thousands of people, I don't know how many masters are there, and they must not be flattered but ugly.

Now Chen Rong is such a little girl, she dares to play the piano in public, could it be that her piano skills are really so good?

At this time, a man's voice came, "Chen's Ah Rong is really bold." ”

Chen Rong didn't raise his head, but replied lightly: "When the heart rises, the sound of the piano can be flat, and when the heart is usual, the sound of the piano can be relaxed." It's just playing the piano to express your feelings, how can you be bold? ”

Everyone was stunned, and several girls who were about to speak hurriedly stopped their mouths. They could hear that Chen Rong's words were extremely clever. Anything they say at this moment will be vulgar by its subtlety.

At this time, Pingyu appeared in front of Chen Rong with a lyre.

Chen Rong put the piano down, his fingers fluttered lightly, and he was just about to play. Suddenly, in the distant wasteland, there was a sound of a piano. The sound of the piano is very leisurely, like mountains and flowing water, extremely ethereal.

As soon as everyone heard this, they immediately followed the prestige, and Chen Wei and the other girls stood up and leaned towards the place where the sound of the piano came from - such a sound of the piano can only be played by Wang Jiaqilang.

Before he knew it, Chen Rong's surroundings were empty.

Chen Rong, who lowered his head and stroked the strings with his bare hands, smiled slightly. She pressed her hand on the strings and slowed.

Seeing that she stopped playing, the man who questioned her just now turned around and asked with a smile, "Why is the girl hesitant again?" ”

Chen Rong handed the lyre into the hands of Ping Fei, and secretly thought: Although my piano sound is extraordinary, in front of the sound of Langya Wang's Qilang, it is ugly, do I have the ability to interrupt his piano sound? Thinking so, she replied lightly: "There is already an immortal song, which is enough to solve your worries." ”

The man was stunned, but he had nothing to say.

In this era of advocating pure talk and mysteries, it is the ability to speak so that others have nothing to say back, which is respected by all scholars.

In the previous life, Chen Rong's temperament was fierce and stupid, and it was easy to fall into other language traps. After suffering many losses, she realized that in this world, if you don't want to be ridiculed and sarcastic by others, you must exercise your tongue. If she can use elegant and funny language to make others have nothing to say, it will be very beneficial to her social status.

After Chen Rong handed over the piano to Pingyu, he quietly stood up and walked into the dark corner while no one was paying attention to him.

Stepping on the bright moon, she walked to a mound. Standing on it, Chen Rong looked at the corner where Ran Min and Wang Hong were.

That corner is always so lively.

Chen Rong looked at it in a daze for a while, lowered his eyes, and looked at his long shadow on the ground.

The night passed quickly.

The next day, the team set off again.

I don't know what Ran Min said, but the convoy began to accelerate in the morning.

After that, the team walked for a long time, and if there was a moon at night, the team would walk until the middle of the day.

Because they had seen the cavalry of the Hu people along the way, although the children of the Shi clan were miserable, they did not dare to complain.

After ten days of walking like this, a city appeared in front of them.

Looking at the tall city wall in the distance, Chen Rong summoned the servants and said, "I have some gold leaves here, and when you get to the city in front, the first thing you should do is to buy grain, the more the better." ”

Along the way, she had almost eaten all the grain and millet she brought from Pingcheng, Chen Rong thought about it, and said: "Take all those cloths and silks, and replace them all with grain." ”

After a pause, she instructed again: "Shang Suo, you will borrow ten carriages from the Wang family, the Lu family, and my Chen clan on my behalf on my behalf." Tell them that I am worried about the lack of food in Nanyang and want to buy it here. ”

Pingyu Shangsuo and the others looked at her in surprise, and Pingyu shouted: "Girl, there is still her own clan in Nanyang, why should we?" ”

Shang Su also shouted: "Girl, thirty carriages, the family can borrow them all, why borrow them again?" ”

Chen Rong frowned and said, "Although Nanyang City is large, it can squeeze in too many scholars and homeless people in a short period of time, and there must be a shortage of food. My father and brother are not there, and they are also sent to the fence when they go, and if they want not to be taken care of, they must have enough food and money. I will find another way to make up for the money, and the food will be replenished in the cities in front of me. ”

"Yes."

She explained to Shang Suo: "I borrowed a carriage from Wang Lu's family, just to tell them that I had this guess, so as not to return to Nanyang, when there was really a shortage of food in the city, I was resented by Wang Lu's family, saying that they knew each other so well, but they didn't tell each other. ”

"The girl is really smart and thoughtful."

Listening to Pingyu Shangsuo's praise, Chen Rong smiled bitterly: If she hadn't experienced it once, would she have this kind of intelligence?

By the time the party reached the city ahead, it was already evening. After several days of traveling, all the warriors were exhausted, and finally arrived at this dilapidated, but still prosperous and peaceful city, and everyone couldn't wait to stop and not leave.

As the brigade entered the city, the whole town boiled.

After a while, Pingyu came to Chen Rong's carriage and said, "Girl, the grain and grass here are very expensive, and only one piece of cloth can be exchanged for nine buckets of rice, you know, when you are in Pingcheng, one piece of cloth can be exchanged for twenty buckets of rice." ”

As soon as her words fell, Chen Rong's decisive voice came from the carriage, "At the price here, all of them will be exchanged for grain." ”

She took out a cloth bag from between the walls of the car and handed it to Pingyu, saying, "Concubine, here are thirty gold leaves, all of them go to buy grain." "At this time, there are many scholars in the city, and no one dares to use their brains against these gold leaves.

"But girl, after arriving in Nanyang, she also asks for money everywhere. There are only a dozen of us, so why should we buy so much food? ”

Chen Rong's unhappy voice came from the carriage, "Just do what I say." ”

"Yes."

Because of Chen Rong's resolute attitude, all the servants moved together, and all the thirty-three carriages were filled with grain that night.

This small town is only so big, and as soon as Chen Rong's grain filled the carriage, she heard Shang Suo muttering that the price of grain had risen again, from nine buckets of rice per piece of cloth to five buckets of rice from a high-quality cloth, and there was no goods yet.

The Wang family, who also came from Pingcheng, did not have any objections to Chen Rong, who had scattered all his wealth, and was able to take out silver money to buy grainβ€”β€”β€” any scholar clan was accumulated over hundreds of decades. No one would really squander their money to protect their lives. He who scatters his wealth to the untouchables, but becomes a beggar, is a fool, not a master.
