If it weren't for Qianshan mentioning the treasure banknote, Qu Qingyan would have forgotten that there was such a payment method.

What's the use of this man asking for money?

Due to the large amount of copper mining in the middle of the Chengzu year, copper plates are no longer scarce, and this treasure has long been withdrawn from the circulation market.

She had doubts in her heart, and on the day of the Shangyuan Festival, she took the two of Qianshan Da'an to the market to wander.

Speaking of which, this is the second time she has visited the lamp market, when Qu Bozhong was alive, because of the great expectations for her, hoping that she could make up for his regrets in high school, the constraints on her in Pingxian County in those years were extremely strict.

She rarely has time to go out, even in the New Year, she is only given a few days of rest, and after the fifth day of the new year, she will continue to read, practice calligraphy, and write articles.

Her body has always been slender and thin, and her writing strength is insufficient, and she can't practice her pavilion body, so Qu Bozhong found a fist-sized stone to hang on her wrist, and asked her to write ten pages of dense small characters a day.

The wrist was swollen and the next day she had to copy as usual, at that time she had a lot of resentment towards Qu Bozhong in her heart, but now that she thinks back then, if it weren't for his strictness back then, with her growing and more feminine body, she would have had a lot of hardships to write the handwriting of ordinary men.

If the words are not up to par, they will be directly rated as inferior when they are reviewed, and she will talk about high school.

Thinking of the past, Qu Qingyan felt a lot in his heart, although the short-lived father was cold and unscrupulous in women, he was also a qualified father for her.

It's just that she didn't visit a few lamp markets, and there is no regret that she didn't come out to join in the fun during the Shangyuan Festival, she still remembered that at the invitation of Yang Jianxian in the capital, she came out with Qu Qingwen to see the lanterns.

As a result, he met Zhu Jinyu in the restaurant, and caused countless troubles later.

Turn out of an intersection in front of the county office, and then go forward is the main street of Shouyang County, where the lamp market will be placed every year.

Qu Qingyan turned around and looked at Qianshan and Da'an, who were walking beside him: "Wait a minute, if there are too many people to scatter the three of us, you will wait for me at the street corner in front, if you can't see me for three minutes, go back to the county office to find me." ”

What if she is still not there after returning to the county office?

Qianshan subconsciously wanted to ask, but was pulled by Da'an.

Qu Qingyan is the magistrate of the county, just like the emperor of the county in this county, no matter whether she subdues the group of subordinates in the county government or not, as long as there is the grandfather of the Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites standing behind her, those people want to move her, how can they not be there.

was stopped by Da'an, Qianshan reacted instantly, rubbing his clothes and laughing dryly.

Qu Qingyan didn't see the small actions of the two little guys in private, the people who came out to play on the street were gathering more and more, and the surrounding restaurants were brightly lit, and the noise was faintly coming from it.

The floats are tightly connected together, there are lantern riddles and small games, Qu Qingyan handed over the copper plate and chose a plain white silk lamp in her hand, taking advantage of the few people around her, she seemed to ask casually.

"I got a few treasure bills some time ago, I don't know if you can accept them here?"

The word treasure money has always been a little sensitive in this light market, and the shopkeeper behind the car looked nervous and waved his hand: "Don't collect it, don't accept it, it's all in this world, who still collects treasure money." ”

"Old man, my treasure money is also a business person arrived, saying that it can still be used in this northwest, and the consistent banknote is worth a hundred dollars, old man, can you accept it here?"

It has always been worth a hundred dollars, even if the treasure money was printed a lot, but the government has collected a lot of money in recent years, and the private circulation is not much, and there is indeed no one in the side to replace the copper money with treasure money, but in this northwest ......

Feng Maocai collects booth fees, and the paper money is always worth 200 yuan, but the old man's 500 yuan is not enough.

"If you do this, you can collect it, that is, it can only be worth a hundred dollars, and I can't find a copper plate for you."

The old man was obviously a little embarrassed when he said this, and his honest eyes stared at the lantern and didn't dare to look at Qu Qingyan more.

This treasure banknote was ordered to go to Qianshan to find it the day before, and she found a total of ten banknotes, so she didn't feel distressed when she used it.

She looked sideways at Qianshan, and Qianshan took out a piece from her purse and handed it to Qu Qingyan.

"There are few lanterns at home, so the old man might as well help me choose two more festive lanterns, and I will send them back to the house to hang them."

What she said was serious, the old man didn't want to take advantage of it, but really picked up two palace lamps made of red silk, two layers inside and outside, and a delicate mechanism was set up on the inner layer, which could be slowly rotated if it was twisted slightly.

Qu Qingyan sighed in his heart at the simplicity of the northwest folk customs, and took out another treasure note from his purse and handed it over.

"The shopkeeper was polite, and said that one piece is worth 100 Wen."

The old man was blushed by Qu Qingyan's actions, and he was a little at a loss, the treasure note he gave him before was sent to Feng Maocai, and it was already worth 200 wen, and he could make up 300 wen for selling the lantern for one night today.

When the time comes, I will send it again, and I won't have to be punched and kicked by Feng Mao's talent this year.

But this is just barely enough to scrape together the booth fee, this lantern festival he is afraid that he will not be able to earn a few copper plates to support his family, but it is different to accept this treasure banknote, and it means that there are more than 200 Wen input, and his life this year can be a little better.

Qu Qingyan saw the old man's hesitation, she turned her head sideways and gave Qianshan a look, and Qianshan took the treasure money and stuffed it directly into the old man's hand.

"Shopkeeper, our young master is kind-hearted, let you accept it, just a little curious, what can this treasure money do here in the northwest? Now it doesn't take anywhere else except the government, right? ”

He asked very casually, as if a foreigner did not understand the local folklore.

The old man was short-handed, and it was not easy to hide it anymore, but he didn't know much: "We don't know either, it's just ...... I'm afraid you don't know about our booth fee, and it costs 500 yuan to give the copper plate, but to give the treasure money...... If you are in a good mood to catch up with those uncles, two consistent treasure bills will be enough. ”

Qu Qingyan's eyes narrowed slightly, this was really weird.

Qianshan and Da'an took the lantern, and the three of them carried one and walked forward.

I only went to a few places and asked the same way to ask the answer is almost the same, every year in the lamp market Feng Maocai and those people are more willing to collect treasure money, as for the printing money released on weekdays, it is unknown whether they let the other party use treasure money to replace it when they ask for accounts.

After pushing and shoving all night, it was close to noon when the three of them returned to the county office, and the streets were still brightly lit and people were coming and going, but the questions in Qu Qingyan's heart were getting deeper and deeper.

There must be something she still doesn't know, but what it is, it needs to be found to pry Feng Maocai's mouth open after Qin Cha arrives.
