Chapter 263: Life is not easy, the prince is an artist

Although Hua Luo and Yan Wujian have tried their best to tidy up their appearance, they still look very embarrassed, gray-headed, and look like refugees.

Hua Luo easily found the map, and when she saw the location of the post house shown on the map, she couldn't help but be surprised.

The nearest post house is hundreds of kilometers away!

Walking over on the legs, I'm afraid that both legs will be wasted.

It seems that they have to take a carriage, but they are penniless now, where will they get the money for the carriage? When you get to the post house, you have to ask for help from the post house to go home.

However, fortunately, a life was recovered.

Hua Luo said to Yan Wujian a little helplessly, "You have also seen that the post house is so far away, we are penniless, and I am afraid that it is not possible to walk on two legs."

"You mean you have to get some money?"

As soon as Yan Wuji's voice fell, a girl with a lovely face walked over, and she said with concern, "Little sister, what's wrong with you and your brother? Why do you look so embarrassed, do you want to go to my house to rest?"

The atmosphere of the Apocalypse Country is already good, and Kunzhou here is even more famous for its simple folk customs, and it is not uncommon for strangers to take the initiative to talk and care, although there is no shortage of ill-intentioned people, but well-wishers definitely account for the majority.

Hua Luo declined: "No, thank you, but can you tell me how much it costs to take a carriage from here to the nearest inn?"

Hua Luo thought about finding out how much it would cost first.

"From here to the nearest inn? It's going to cost a lot of money so far." The girl was a little surprised, but replied sincerely, "If you two are talked, five taels of silver should be enough, if you need a carriage with a faster pace, you need eight taels, do you want to go there?" I still have some change in my purse, not much, give it to you as a plate, I hope it can help you~"

The girl handed the money bag dyed with the fragrance of gardenia to Hua Luo, her eyes clear and sincere.

"Thank you." Hua Luo took the money bag, and since the years she spent in Yanzhou, she understood what it meant that a penny was difficult to defeat a hero.

In exchange for the rich prince Hua Luo on weekdays, let alone eight taels of silver, even ten taels fell to the ground, and she didn't bend down to pick it up when she passed by.

But now, she and Yan Wujian can't take out one or two on their bodies.

After the girl left, Hua Luo opened the money bag, and inside was some scattered copper coins, with more than 100 yuan.

The national exchange rate of the Apocalypse Country is one thousand wen equal to one tael of silver, which is indeed pitiful.

Hua Luo looked at the gloomy sky and complained to Yan Wujian with some sorrow: "Jun Shushu, where are we going to get at least five taels of silver."

Yan Wujian touched his body, and suddenly found that the lost jade pendant on his body was still there! It's the piece that Zhanxing returned to her a few days ago.

"There it is!" Yan Wujian took out the jade pendant, "Sell this jade pendant, it's a bit of a pity, when I was a child, my mother asked someone to give me and a dozen of them, saying that it could keep me safe, for so many years, I always thought it was lost, and I just came back...... But that's okay, as if it was never recovered."

Hua Luo looked at this jade pendant over and over again, feeling a little familiar.

Suddenly, she remembered.

She had seen this jade pendant.

Hua Luo looked at Yan Wujian with a very strange look: "You...... This jade pendant is yours?"

"Yes, it's mine, the pattern on it is very unique, I will never be mistaken." Yan Wujian affirmed, and also noticed the strangeness in Hua Luo's expression, "What's the matter, looking at your expression, it seems that you have seen this jade pendant."

Hua Luo returned the jade pendant to Yan Wuji: "Forget it, look at the pattern mark on it, it should have been consecrated by Master Xiangshen, a senior monk from Yunzhou, I heard that if you want to see Master Xiangshen, you have to walk through nine hundred and ninety-nine steps, and kowtow step by step to show sincerity."

"If you can get the peace buckle of Master Xiangshen's consecration, your mother must have done this back then, but in the eyes of the pawnshop, this is just a jade pendant of average color and not worth much, and this jade is small, the style is still popular more than ten years ago, and the pawnshop will give a dozen taels of silver at most."

"A dozen taels of silver are sold cheaply

Your mother's heart makes me unbearable." Hualuo sighed quietly, "The two of us have hands and feet, so we won't be trapped here."

"What do you mean?" Yan Wujian asked, his gaze swept over the surrounding teahouses, taverns, shops, etc., "Could it be that we want to stay here and work?"

"The wages are usually monthly, it's too slow, we can't wait." Hua Luo glanced at the market sign hanging high in front of her, "Hey, it seems to be a fence tile shop in front, maybe there is an opportunity, let's go, go and have a look."

Hua Luo pulled Yan Wuqian to the Goolan tile shop, where there were acrobats, storytellers, and allegro, and even an open-air theater, with a row of tables, chairs and benches placed below, and some people guarded the outermost outermost to collect money, peddling melon seeds, peanuts and drinks.

Since Hua Luo returned to the Kingdom of the Apocalypse, she has never been to such a noisy place, even if she is really interested in listening to the opera, she is still going to the kind of elegant place that is gorgeous at first glance.

Looking at such a place now, it has a very mundane atmosphere.

Hua Luo touched Yan Wuji's elbow: "Jushu Jun, do you have any talent that you can handle?"

"Performing arts...... Yan Wuji's expression flashed with surprise, and then he thought about it seriously, and finally sighed helplessly, "It seems that there really isn't."

In addition to being able to puppet and write well, he has no special skills that he can use.

Besides, his puppet and puppet silk are in storage bags, so he doesn't have the tools to perform puppetry.

Hua Luo didn't feel much disappointed after listening to Yan Wuji's answer, she didn't stick to the poor conditions in Yanzhou before.

Yanzhou's experience has made her accustomed to relying on herself in everything, and she can even tolerate the existence of oil bottles around her.

In short, she never pins her hopes on others.

Hua Luo saw that there was an acrobatic brother in the corner of the goulan tile shop who was wiping his sweat with a sweat towel hanging around his neck, and a few boxes were piled up next to him, obviously packing up his things and planning to leave.

Hua Luo had an idea, and walked over quickly to talk, "Big brother, are you done with the show?"

"Yes, little girl, is there anything wrong with you?" The man looked at Hua Luo with a puzzled expression.

Hua Luo was a little impressive, looking very sincere and with a good attitude, "Big brother, can you lend me this tool, we will definitely pay you for the tool when we make money later, don't worry, we are in the corner over there, we can't go far."

"Okay, take whatever you want." The people of the Apocalypse Kingdom are extremely admired, and Hua Luo's beautiful face is very open among ordinary people, and she can gain the favor and greatest kindness of a large number of people, and it is much more convenient to do many things than mediocre people.

Therefore, the other party agreed after thinking about it.

Hua Luo thanked her, she moved the weapon rack, and took the gong and drum and handed it to Yan Wuji, "You come to beat the drum to attract passers-by, and I will try acrobatics."

But Yan Wuqian is thin-skinned, and he is not embarrassed to stand on the stage at all after doing psychological construction for a long time.

Hua Luo simply took the gong and drum: "Forget it, I'll knock it myself, and you will take the bowl and collect the money one by one later, with your face, those big girls and little daughters-in-law have to sell face."

Yan Wujian was holding a bowl in his hand, a little cramped.

Hua Luo turned on the stage vigorously, knocking and shouting at the top of her voice: "Take a look! Don't miss it when you walk by! Those who have money will have a money field, and those who have no money will have a personal field!"

Hua Luo's clear voice pierced the clouds and cracked stones, coupled with the beautiful skins of the two of them standing out among ordinary people, quickly attracted a large group of people.

Someone asked curiously, "Little girl, what kind of talent do you have?"

"Well...... this" Hua Luo first took a long red tassel spear, played with it, and then danced the sword, and the movements were smooth, tiger and tiger. net

Unfortunately, she was wearing a skirt today, and the range of movements was too large and easy to walk away, and the action of splitting was even more unsightly, and Hua Luo had some scruples in her heart, so she inevitably restrained her hands and feet, and danced all over her body to sweat, so she barely won a little applause.

At the end, the crowd dispersed, Hua Luo panted and put the weapon in her hand back on the weapon rack, and asked Yan Wuji, who was holding the bowl, "How is it, how much money did you make."

Yan Wujian fiddled with the copper coins in the bowl and counted: "About two hundred wen."

"It's only two hundred words." Hua Luo was a little discouraged, has she been dancing for so long for only two hundred wen.

Obviously, five taels of silver is really an insignificant amount in her mind, and it is no exaggeration to say that she usually gives more than this amount of money to beggars, but now she earns it so hard, it is really not easy to live, the prince is an artist.

"No, when will I be able to scrape together enough five taels of silver to go to the post house, it seems that I have to think again." Hua Luo sat on the steps and thought.

Yan Wujian squatted down, propped his hands on his knees, blocked the sun for Hua Luo, and looked a little ashamed.

"I'm really sorry, Ah Luo, I had stage fright just now, it's all you girl who is contributing......

Thinking about it, he was indeed a little embarrassed.

"It's okay, I understand." Hua Luo didn't blame Yan Wuji, after all, he grew up in the Zhumen embroidery household, and the pampered noble son, everywhere he touched was gold and jade, when did he set foot in this kind of place?

If she didn't have the experience of Yanzhou, her heart had been honed, and she wouldn't have taken such things as face skin too seriously, she estimated that she would not be much better than Yan Wuji.

Flora rose from the ground and felt hungry.

"Let's go, return the things, go eat something, I just spent too much energy, I'm a little hungry."

Although they don't have much money now, they still have a meal.

Hua Luo returned the things, gave Shiwen the cost of borrowing weapons, and pulled Yan Wuqian to eat next to him.

She didn't dare to go to a restaurant that looked slightly better, but went to a steamed bun shop.

There are vegetable buns and meat buns in the bun shop, one vegetable bun is five cents, and one meat bun is eight cents.

Hua Luo smelled the smell of buns and swallowed a mouthful of saliva, he was really hungry, but he still asked Yan Wujian first: "Yishujun, how many do you want to eat?"

"Two would be fine." Yan Wujian saw that the bun was very large, and he was not very hungry now, so two should be enough.

"Okay." Hua Luo said to the vendor who sold steamed buns, "Little brother, please take two meat buns and fifty vegetable buns, by the way, as for the discount......

Hua Luo took the mirror and swept it to her face, and the number on the mirror was 300.

She handed the mirror to the vendor, who naturally understood what she meant.

She is a beauty with a face value of 300, and according to the law, she has to get a beauty discount, and 300 corresponds to a 50% discount, which is the lowest discount for a beauty.

All beauties can be discounted as long as they spend more than 100 wen when they go out, except for luxury goods and special goods stipulated by certain laws.
