Yue Hao walked on the streets of Daxia City, seeing the sunset in the western mountains, but he had not yet found a place to stay.

Because it is too expensive, Yue Hao looked for an afternoon, and the cheapest place cost thirty taels of silver a night If it goes on like this, it will only be a few days, and Yue Hao will become penniless.

Yue Hao sat on the side of the street, looking down at the ground under his feet, the time was a little dazed, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

But when Yue Hao reacted and looked up again, pieces of broken silver appeared in front of him, adding up to thirty or forty taels.

"This ......" Looking at the broken silver in front of him, Yue Hao was a little confused for a while.

Could it be that he was treated as a beggar, and this is the money that others gave him? But how can anyone give so much, this is thirty or forty taels.

Yue Hao couldn't help but think in his heart.

Or is it that these three or four taels of broken silver, in the eyes of those people, are not considered money?

However, thinking of the consumption level here, Yue Hao was also relieved, these thirty or forty taels of silver were enough for him to stay in the hotel for one night.

"Seed Moon, is this what you call Great Xia City?" Yue Hao couldn't help but say to Ziyue beside him.

"That's right, this is Great Xia City, every inch of land is expensive, and the consumption level is extremely high, and it is not at the same level as Yulin City at all." Seed Moon said.

"So how do I survive, can't I really rely on begging?" Yue Hao said.

"You don't have a job now, of course you can't live anymore, you have to find a job." Seed Moon said.

"That's just as well." Yue Hao nodded and said, "Then let's talk about finding a job tomorrow, it's time to go to bed today." ”

After saying this, Yue Hao patted his ass and stood up, took the thirty or forty taels of silver that should have been begging, opened the cheapest room, and fell asleep without dinner.

…………

Early the next morning, Yue Hao was forced to get up early to eat because of his stomach rumbling.

Yue Hao spent another thirty-five taels of silver and asked for a bowl of porridge and three steamed buns.

Looking at the few pieces of silver in his arms, Yue Hao couldn't help but say, "If you don't work to make money, you'll really have to beg on the street." ”

Thinking of this, Yue Hao began his journey to find a job.

It took a morning and wasted all his efforts, and Yue Hao found a job in a teahouse, that is, to run the hall.

The boss's name is Geng Yeyuan, and he is still kind, and gave Yue Hao a set of clothes, so that Yue Hao can get rid of that strange gaze.

Seventy taels of silver a day, and food and shelter, it is difficult not to make Yue Hao's heart move with such rich conditions.

So, Yue Hao became a shopkeeper in this teahouse called Chuanxianglou, under Geng Yeyuan's hands.

…………

Time flies, Yue Hao has been in Great Xia City for nearly a month, and his pocket is getting richer and richer, and he no longer only has those dozens of taels of silver.

On this day, the teahouse ushered in a woman with a light veil, she walked to the second floor of the teahouse, and found a place to sit by the window.

Yue Hao hurriedly ran up and said with a smile, "This guest officer, what do you want to drink?" ”

The woman raised her eyes and looked at Yue Hao, with a hint of surprise in her eyes, but she hid it well, and said, "Why haven't I seen you before?" New to the scene? ”

When Yue Hao heard this voice, he was stunned in his heart, as if he was a little familiar, but he couldn't remember who it was, so he opened his mouth and said, "Yes, I have just been here for a month, and the girl is a frequent visitor here?" ”

"Well, I want a pot of Jiuqu red plum and a plate of red bean cake." The woman spoke.

"Okay." Yue Hao agreed and ran down.

The woman watched Yue Hao leave, and the corners of her mouth under the light veil couldn't help but show a smile.

"Yue Hao, Yue Hao." The woman whispered.

…………

Yue Hao ran down, and after a while, he ran up with a pot of nine-song red plums and a plate of red bean cake.

"Your nine-song red plum and red bean cake." Yue Hao said with a smile.

"Thanks, together?" The woman spoke.

Hearing this, Yue Hao was stunned, and didn't seem to react, he had been working here for nearly a month, and he had never seen this kind of scene.

"No, you're a guest, how can there be such a reason." Yue Hao hurriedly said.

"Really?" The woman asked.

"No, if you're all right, I'll go down." Yue Hao opened his mouth and said.

"Do you know how much this nine-song red plum is?" The woman asked suddenly.

"I don't know, I'm just a newcomer, how do you know this." Yue Hao opened his mouth and said.

"This nine-song red plum, a pot is seventy-seven taels, and this red bean cake costs thirty taels for a plate, don't you want to taste it?" The woman asked.

When Yue Hao heard this, he almost didn't have a mouthful of old blood spurting out, this pot of tea leaves that I don't know what it is, it costs seventy-seven taels, and even the common red bean cake costs thirty taels, I really can't believe it.

"I don't dare to eat such an expensive thing, I don't even know how to put it in my mouth." Yue Hao smiled bitterly and shook his head and said.

"Then do you know the meaning of these nine red plums?" The woman asked again.

Yue Hao thought for a while and said, "The agate color in the white jade cup, the red lips and the plum blossom fragrance at the bottom of the tongue, presumably this is the Jiuqu red plum." ”

Hearing Yue Hao's words, the woman's face showed surprise, but it was only a flash, and then she said, "I'm talking about the meaning. ”

"I don't know the meaning, I just know that it should be a stepping stone to high society." Yue Hao opened his mouth and said.

"It's almost, but you should know the meaning of this red bean, right?" The woman spoke.

"Acacia, both of these things have the meaning of acacia, presumably the girl should have lovesickness." Yue Hao thought for a while and said.

"You should be a runner, it's a bit overkill, why don't you come with me." The woman spoke.

"Huh? Coming with you? Do? Yue Hao said with some puzzlement.

"In two days, there will be a poetry conference in Great Xia City, and the winner will be promoted to the fifth rank by intuition, I think you can." The woman said.

"I don't think anyone can participate in this kind of conference." Yue Hao said with some embarrassment.

"It doesn't matter, our family is still a little famous here, it's just a place, and there are still some places." The woman spoke.

"Girl's name?" Yue Hao couldn't help but ask.

"My surname is Cheng, just call me Sister Cheng." The woman spoke.

Hearing this, Yue Hao couldn't help but look at the woman, but there was a light veil cover, and Yue Hao couldn't see it clearly.

"What? Don't believe me? The woman who called herself Sister Cheng spoke.

"No, it's just that I've been working here for less than a month, so it's a bit bad to pick and choose." Yue Hao opened his mouth and said.

"It's okay, I'm an old acquaintance with the boss here, don't worry." The woman spoke.

"Well, that's right, as long as Miss Cheng is willing to patronize the small shop, I can't thank you enough." At this moment, the boss Geng Yeyuan walked up and said at some point.

"Boss, this ......" Yue Hao looked at Geng Yeyuan with some embarrassment and said.

"It's okay, you can leave with confidence, if you really become a member of the five grades, just don't forget me." Geng Yeyuan said with a smile.

Hearing this, Yue Hao nodded vigorously and said, "Don't worry, I will definitely not forget you, after all, in my most difficult time, it was you who made me persevere until today." ”

"Hmm." Geng Yeyuan didn't say anything, just smiled and nodded.
