Chapter 36 One Hundred Taels of Silver
Zhou Ang looked over with some surprise.
The reason why I am surprised is because in this era, the word "sir" is not something that anyone can use.
Generally speaking, only a clear teacher, or a world-recognized sage, can directly use this title, and retreat to the second, at least a clear official, and when getting along in private, you can also reluctantly use this title - if not, when facing an elderly person, the people of the time would rather use "this elder", or "this old man", and they will never call "sir".
To put it mildly, when Zhou Angchu first saw Xu Fu, who was not his master at that time, he opened his mouth and said, "Mr. save me," but in fact, he was suspected of being a sycophant! If it spreads out in the future, it may be criticized as "flattery."
"Mr" and "posterity", as two words that were originally equivalent, have already been endowed with completely different social meanings after countless years of development and evolution.
In terms of Zhou Ang's age, there is only about one Ao Chun, and he can be called "sir".
And the person who called himself Mr. in front of him and gave a big salute to himself, although he was wearing a plain robe and a turban at the end, his posture of giving a salute was really a little strange, it seemed that he did not often use such etiquette, his movements were a little rusty and stiff, and when he raised his head, he had a flattering smile on his face, and he had a rough and cunning temperament no matter how he looked at it.
"It seems to be a little familiar. But I have never heard the name of Lu Dayuan. ”
Zhou Ang only hurriedly flashed this thought in his mind, and the person had already turned sideways to avoid it, saying that he did not accept this worship, but asked in surprise: "Are you looking for me?"
With a flattering smile on his face, Mr. Lu said, "I'm here to find Mr. Zhou Angzhou." ”
Zhou Ang was surprised and asked with a smile: "Do you know me?"
Mr. Lu looked at the pedestrians passing by the gate one after another, and said with a smile: "Can you find a place to live and talk?"
Zhou Ang thought for a while and said, "Since you are here to look for me, please sit at home for a while!"
When Mr. Lu heard this, he hurriedly thanked him.
But when Zhou Ang walked over, he suddenly smelled a smell from him.
If it was him in his previous life, he might not be so sensitive, but in this life, he seems to have a very smart nose, or maybe it is because of cultivation, in short, this smell enters the nose, but after a while, Zhou Ang's mind quickly captured his origin - right, I went to sell foxes a few days ago, and the shops I entered all had this smell.
So in an instant, Zhou Ang knew what this person was here for!
Seeing that he had entered the door, he inadvertently turned around, and caught a glimpse of a young man dressed as a young man behind Master Nalu, holding a small square box in his hand.
When he got home, he turned around and closed the door, Zhou Ang didn't go into the house anymore, and asked with a smile: "Lu Yuanwai, right?
Lu said with a smile: "To tell you the truth, sir, I opened a leather goods shop in Xia, a few days ago, Mr. went to the lower shop and sold a fox, I don't know if Mr. remembers?"
Zhou Ang suddenly realized, and then said, "What's the matter?
Master Lu smiled flatteringly and said: "The guys are ignorant, they will collect things, but who knows that the things are not collected, I am so angry that I feel uncomfortable, and I beat him, so I will come to find Mr. in person." ”
This time, Zhou Ang was really a little puzzled, "What do you mean?"
Mr. Lu asked, "Mr. Lu took the fox to our store that day, but he used a bag?"
Zhou Ang nodded, "Not bad!"
Master Lu said, "Can you please ask Mr. to find the bag?"
That's amazing!
Zhou Ang clearly remembered that he was using an ordinary bag at that time, woven of twine, if it was brand new, it might be worth a few dollars, but to that extent, it broke two holes that were not too big or small, and it was really not worth much - he thought about it, and really wanted to know what tricks this Lu Daren could play, so he said "Wait a minute", and then went into the room and easily took the broken bag out.
As soon as he saw the bag, Mr. Lu was immediately surprised, "That's it!
As he spoke, he snatched it up, smiled as if he had received a treasure, and said: "My guy couldn't get through the affairs that day, so that the bag was leaked when he received things, but how can we transport the goods in the future?"
After that, he explained: "Sir doesn't know, our Lu's Leather Goods Store has always been a rule, and for the whole fox to sell, it must be bought with the bag." ”
Speaking of this, he looked happy and said, "Even if Mr. is compassionate, this bag has been found!"
After saying that, he turned around and waved at the young man who looked like a guy behind him, and when the young man approached with a wooden box, he personally raised his hand to open the box and said, "Sir, please be sure to sell this bag to you." ”
Zhou Ang was already a little stunned when he heard this, and when he heard this, he took the opportunity to look over there, but saw that there were four ingots of silver in the box!
Lu Dayuan said seriously: "I should have brought a hundred yuan to Mr., but the copper coin was too heavy, so I made my own decisions and exchanged it for one hundred taels of silver for Mr. I hope Mr. will be perfect!"
Although this idea is really a bit strange, the fox is worth 1,250 wen, and the bag containing the fox is worth 100 taels of silver, but Zhou Ang can guess what the reason behind this is.
He just couldn't help laughing, feeling that it was really embarrassing for Master Lu's thoughts.
But after laughing, he just waved his hand and said, "If you want the bag, you can use it! Money is not necessary, and it is really amazing to buy a broken sack with white bright silver." ...... Take it all back!"
Master Lu opened his mouth, coughed, turned around and took the wooden box, and said to his fellow man: "You can go home by yourself first!
The guy was stunned, but he quickly nodded, agreed, and opened the door and left.
When he left, Master Lu first put down the wooden box, ran to the door and opened a crack in the door, glanced out for a while, as if he saw that the guy had gone away, and then closed the door again and turned back, but suddenly he knelt on the ground with a pop, and the cry came out immediately, "Sir save me! Sir save me!"
Zhou Ang had already moved away one step and did not accept his kneeling.
Nalu straightened up, but moved his knees, still facing Zhou Ang, crying a handful of snot and tears, and said: "Mr. is powerful and virtuous, he is not afraid of the fox fairy, and even the county lord does not dare to brush the gentleman's intentions, but the villain is really afraid! The poor villain has a seventy-year-old mother and a three-year-old child, and the villain is only a new concubine last year, and he is really reluctant to die!"
"Mr. Wanwang is perfect! Mr. Wanwang rescues him!"
Zhou Ang almost laughed, "Are you afraid...... The fox fairy came back to take revenge on you?"
Lu nodded without hesitation.
"But she's dead! It's just a corpse, Brother Anping brought it yesterday, and I can smell the stench!"
"He calls the county master Brother Anping!"
This thought quickly turned in Lu Dayuan's mind, and his face suddenly became more and more sad, "But that fox fairy has relatives and friends! Legend has it that foxes are a nest as soon as they come out! Mr. has great magical powers and great morality, so he is naturally not afraid of them, but where does the villain have that ability!"
Zhou Ang was helpless, and after a while, he asked him, "Who taught you to come to me?"
Lu was stunned for a moment, and immediately denied it: "No one taught me! It's just that yesterday the county Zhu Yamen suddenly sent a hundred yuan to the villain, saying that it was a reward for killing the fox demon, and the villain was scared half to death!"
"You get up first!"
"Mr. is not allowed, the villain is willing to kneel for a long time!"
Zhou Ang sighed and said, "You are so much older than me, and you are not my junior, I really can't stand it if you open your mouth and close your mouth, you get up!"
After a pause, he said: "Since you are really afraid of bearing the cause and effect here, give me the hundred yuan money, you can exchange it for silver, but you can as much as you want, and you don't have to post it yourself." How?"
When Mr. Lu heard this, he was so happy that he immediately got up from the ground and thanked him repeatedly, but he said, "Villain...... The contemptible man actually didn't post the money, that day it was my fellow who was black-hearted, and he should have been a good fox for more than a dozen times, but he only gave more than 1,000 yuan.
............
Mr. Lu held the empty box and left happily.
Zhou Ang checked the two big silver ingots in one hand, and felt a heavy pressure on his hands.
If it was yesterday, he might not have accepted this money, and even Gao Jinggao County's repeated gestures of favor were blocked back by him, not because he was afraid of taking this cause and effect, after all, in his opinion, the cause and effect of this matter has been over. Moreover, even if there is really a follow-up cause and effect, it is not something that he can avoid without taking the money.
The main reason is that I don't want to accept Gao Jing's compliment.
But now, the "guidance" that he just learned from his uncle in the morning, that is, the ten words of "no one sees the cultivation, and the heart knows the heavens", has made his thinking change a little.
If you want to make the aura merge with you, so that it is more willing to use it for its own use, not to run away, not to regurgitate, then it is very important to constantly use it to do good deeds, do good deeds, do the right things, and guide it - even on a par with the breathing method and the body refining method.
Let's call it "Guiding Technique", anyway, "Mountain Gate" doesn't seem to have a name for it.
Therefore, since you want to guide, then in the future, you can still consider having limited cooperation with the county Zhu Yamen on Gao Jing's side to do some things - you can not only guide the aura, but also make money, why not?
Therefore, since Master Lu had to send the money to himself, he simply took it.
Explain to him again and again that the cause and effect have ended, and it is better to accept this money to make him feel more psychologically comfortable.
On the contrary, next, how to find a suitable reason to let this money appear in front of his mother and sister in front of him is the real problem.
It's painful to adjust your work and rest......
The night is gone, and tomorrow I will try to resume the two watches.
