166 Chapter 69: Looking for a Needle in a Haystack 03
Chu Qingliu said: "You really love money, what do you want this amount of silver for?"
Qu Lingyu said: "You are beating a rake." It's your idea to rob the rich and help the poor, what do you want the money for?"
Chu Qingliu said: "I have never used silver, but this time the silver cannot be saved, so I have to spend it." ”
Qu Lingyu said, "Is my three thousand taels enough?"
Chu Qingliu said: "I'm afraid it's not enough." Whether it is enough or not, I don't count, it depends on how many people there are in Qujia Dazhai in Ruzhou. I've heard that the eldest lady of their family is so expensive that if you want to come to the door to propose, you have to bring enough gifts and silver tickets. No matter how old or young, everyone wants gifts, and everyone wants red envelopes to reward money. Senior sister, do you say three thousand taels is enough?"
Qu Lingyu was ashamed at first, and then overjoyed. said: "Three thousand taels is not enough." As he spoke, Chu Qingliu quickly followed and said, "Senior sister, shall we go east?" Qu Lingyu said: "No, go west, go to Datong City, and have to rob a little more silver." Qu Lingyu rode a horse, Chu Qingliu walked, discussed all the way, and returned to Datong City.
This kind of joke can not be said again, especially not more. Chu Qingliu didn't dare to say any more, without words or deeds, Qu Lingyu said: "Senior brother, I have always made up my mind, this time I have no idea about this matter surnamed Ye, you can think of it yourself." ”
Chu Qingliu said: "You casually say an idea, I can't think of it even if I want to break my head, and you don't have to embarrass me." ”
Qu Lingyu said: "I really don't have an idea this time, you can suffer it." ”
Chu Qingliu said: "It's not that there is no way, it's just not very clever. ”
Qu Lingyu said: "Don't worry if you are smart or not, if you have an idea, you can say it and listen to it." ”
Chu Qingliu said: "The two of us will go our separate ways tonight, I will disguise myself to lure away those who are watching, you enter the tiger's den alone, rob the person surnamed Ye to walk, and let them all run after us." Let's go if we want to, stop when we want, this is called coercing the Son of Heaven to order the princes. ”
Qu Lingyu said: "This is a plan. Any other ideas?"
Chu Qingliu said, "How about you talk about this idea first?"
Qu Lingyu said: "It's not that you can't try. However, this is not the best way to go. You think, if there is really something big about this old leaf, as soon as there is a wind and grass, if he commits suicide first, it will be a big deal. If he can have sweat medicine in his hand, maybe there will be other things, although it may not be as magical as Mei Zhanxuemei's red and white girl, it is not difficult to commit suicide. ”
Chu Qingliu said: "If you don't want to alarm him, it's too difficult, maybe if I made such a fuss yesterday, he would have been shocked." Those people stared at him all day long, maybe he already knew, so he didn't do anything and pretended to be a good person. Whether he knows or doesn't know, surprised or not, we don't know yet, we can only be suspicious. It's better to do a big job and simply frighten him. It's like catching a fish, and when the water is muddy, the fish gets dizzy and gets into the net. ”
Qu Lingyu said: "You are right. You can't always be afraid of scaring the snake, sometimes, you have to hit the grass, scare the snake, maybe you can get miraculous results. If you just wait, who knows how long you will have to wait? However, there is still a point to how frightened you are, how frightened you are. ”
Chu Qingliu said: "Yes, you can only scare him, you can't scare him, and you can't scare him to death." It's really hard to grasp the proportions in between. ”
Qu Lingyu said: "There's nothing to handle, don't we still have a horse? Tomorrow, or at that time, I will also go to that shop to eat, and after eating, I also said that I have no money." I'm not afraid that they won't take me to see the one surnamed Ye, and I'm not afraid that the one surnamed Ye won't be surprised. However, it is difficult to say what will happen to this person after shocking this person. ”
Chu Qingliu said: "What can happen? In the past year, there have been fewer incidents, and isn't it chaotic enough?"
Qu Lingyu said: "Yes, if it's messy enough, it's not messy." The world is in chaos, and only when the evil spirit is exhausted and the villains are killed can the world be ruled greatly. ”
After entering the city for one night, the two got up the next morning, and before and after lunch, the two came to the small restaurant in the west of the city. Chu Qingliu pointed out clearly and understood, so he hid to the side and waited, Qu Lingyu led the horse to the front of the store, and handed the horse to the shopkeeper to feed. I chose a table and sat down, and called the shopkeeper to order.
Unexpectedly, the shopkeeper stepped forward and said, "If you want to eat, you must first bring the money, and put the money on the counter before you can order wine and food." ”
This staggering snake plan is supposed to solve the problem from owing money for dinner, so as to make a fuss. The beginning of the game was so unfavorable, and you had to pay the silver first.
Qu Lingyu lowered his face and said, "Are you afraid that I won't be able to pay for dinner?"
The shopkeeper said: "Just by looking at the girl's clothes, you know that there is no shortage of money." However, whether you have money or not, if you want to eat, you have to pay money first. To tell you the truth, just the day before yesterday, we had a guest here, and no matter how you look at him, he doesn't look like a person who can't afford to eat. He called for two pieces of silver to eat, and when he had finished eating, he dug into his pocket and said that he had no money. Our owner has a good heart, and said that there is not much silver for two coins, and if we want to give it to him for free, we don't want this silver. ”
Qu Lingyu said: "So what? That person eats white food, will I also eat white food? Could it be that everyone in the world is a scoundrel like him?"
The shopkeeper said: "We don't want his silver, he still doesn't do it, he doesn't want to owe us favors, and he wants to pay us back with horses." You think, he has a horse, to say the least, it is worth more than 20 taels of silver, and you say that we can do it? There is no way, so the owner has to ask someone to take him to sell the horse. This is more than an hour. Besides, we are a restaurant, not a brokerage firm, and if this reputation spreads, it will really not sound good. Since yesterday, the proprietor has made a new rule, whether you have money or not, if you want to eat, you have to pay money first. If he really doesn't have any money, he has to explain it first, and maybe we can give him a meal to eat. ”
Qu Lingyu said: "I have silver, so I don't need you to send me food to eat." ”
The shopkeeper said, "If you have any silver, then quickly take it out, and I will hand it over to the counter for you." I brought the food, you ate and walked, and we had two poops. ”
Qu Lingyu untied the burden on his back and took out a jade horse. The horse was not very large, less than half a foot long and less than four inches high. The jade color is pure and flawless, soft and smooth, and seems to be able to drip out of the medulla. The carving is even more excellent, this black horse stands on the dining table, and the room is full of brilliance, and everyone's heart seems to have the sound of hooves and horses neighing past.
Qu Lingyu pushed the jade horse to the shopkeeper and said, "You take this jade horse to the counter, bring me food, let's refund more and make up for less." ”
The shopkeeper held this jade horse with both hands, don't go to the back hall, don't turn around, and brought the shopkeeper.
The shopkeeper respectfully put the jade horse back on the table and said, "Girl, your jade horse is worth thousands of gold, not to mention eating, even if you buy my small shop, it is more than enough." Even if you can eat 12,200 taels for this meal, what will I find and return it to you? Turn left out of the door of my small shop, and not far ahead, there will be a pawnshop, and there are several large restaurants. If you really want to make my business, you might as well go and exchange the money and come back. ”
Qu Lingyu sank his face and said, "Shopkeeper, traveling all over the world, relying on just a rational word. You said that you should give money first and then eat, and I gave money, but you are too much. You don't have a sign here, saying that you only need gold and silver, not jewelry and jade. Since you have not set up a sign first, you must accept this jade horse and bring me food to eat. I don't want you to find money for me, but I'll give you a reward for the rest of my food. ”
The shopkeeper said, "If you say that, I won't be able to bring you food." Unrighteous talents, take ominous; If something goes wrong, it is difficult to feel at ease; when something goes wrong, there is often a hidden disaster. Girl, if you have to work hard again, I just closed this small shop and ran away. ”
Qu Lingyu said angrily: "Then you can close the customs and watch!" When she encounters such a dead-eyed person, it is really difficult to deal with, she has no plan for a while, so she has to force it, just hoping to scare the store. "How do you live when you close this shop?
The owner smiled: "If I can open this store, I can open another one." The world is so big, we can always find a place to stay. ”
Qu Lingyu smiled and said: "Shopkeeper, I have seen a lot of strange people, and there are even more strange things, I really haven't thought of you like this." I respect you and admire you, but I still have to embarrass you and prefer to eat your meal. ”
The shopkeeper said: "You are doomed, you just killed me and burned my shop, don't think about eating without paying money, don't think." Follow the trend, get twice the result with half the effort, and move against the trend, in vain. If you like me, it is business, and if you want me to do it, that is bullying and dominating the market. ”
Qu Lingyu said: "Yes, I just want to bully the market." If you continue to be stubborn, I will firmly follow you, so that you will not be able to open a shop or do business again. ”
The shopkeeper laughed and said, "My luck is too bad." Okay, I'll take your jade horse, and I'll bring you food. However, I don't have the money to find you, you eat a bowl of noodles, it is a jade horse, eat a table table, it is also a jade horse. ”
Qu Lingyu said: "You said this earlier, and it saved me from saying so much. You can cook for me for two coins of silver, and I can walk after eating. ”
When the shopkeeper served the meal, Qu Lingyu picked up the chopsticks and moved a few times, and said, "Shopkeeper, return my jade horse, I want to walk." ”
The shopkeeper said, "Girl, you shouldn't do this." Even if he is a thief, even if he deceives and dominates the market, he has to keep his word, and he can't go back on his word. ”
Qu Lingyu said: "The shopkeeper, the unrighteous talent, is ominous. Just in case you're too ominous, I'm going to get the jade horse back. In addition to the jade horse, I also have a real horse, which can be worth ten taels or twenty taels of silver, and I will give you money for cooking with this real horse. ”
The shopkeeper laughed and said, "Girl, you came to my shop and talked for a long time, but it turned out that you were just to sell horses, why don't you say it? I don't think you want to sell horses, but just to fight with me, not to fight with me, but to fight with others." He turned around and called the shopkeeper the day before yesterday and ordered him to take Qu Lingyu to the mule and horse broker.
Walking to the front of Lao Ye's small courtyard, Qu Lingyu said to the shopkeeper: "Did you see everything in the store just now?"
The shopkeeper said: "I have seen it all, but don't worry, I will never tell Lao Ye." If I told him, he would be suspicious, and the day before yesterday someone had no money to sell a horse, and today another person had no money to sell a horse for dinner, so how could there be such a coincidence? As I said, your horse will not be able to sell for a price. I said, we just happened to meet, and it has nothing to do with eating. ”
Qu Lingyu said: "No. When you meet the cattle dealer later, you call him to the door and speak to my face, so that you don't have to make trouble. You can tell the truth about what you just saw, and you must not hide it at all, and I will give you a reward of one or two pieces of silver, and if you don't say it well, I will burn down your shop. The shopkeeper nodded again and again and said, "Don't worry, don't worry, I'm sure I'll tell you, I'll tell you." ”
The shopkeeper knocked on the door and called out Lao Yelai, so he stood at the door of the small courtyard and told him about the past. The shopkeeper had been instructed by Qu Lingyu in advance, and he was afraid that it would not be detailed, and today's meal was much more troublesome than the day before yesterday, and it took a long time to explain it.
Lao Ye patiently listened to the shopkeeper and said with a smile: "Brother, is your shop a seller of rice or livestock?" One person came the day before yesterday, another person came today, will there be another one tomorrow? But that's fine, otherwise where will I get the business?" took out seven or eight yuan of silver, handed it to the shopkeeper, and said, "The money for food and your shoes and socks are all here." In the future, if you have a business, you still have to think about me. ”
Lao Ye sent the shopkeeper away and said to Qu Lingyu: "Girl, I gave him fifteen taels of silver for the horse the day before yesterday, and your horse is better, I will give you twenty taels." You wait outside the door, and I'll go in and get you the money. ”
