Chapter 49 Sending the Letter
"Brother Zhao, Steward Li came to the meeting in the morning and asked why you weren't there, and I said that you had something to do. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½ā
As soon as Zhang Muye entered the dormitory, Wang Fei, who had a big black face, ran over attentively and reported to him the situation of the morning entrance meeting.
However, Zhang Muye was in a bad mood, and he said "um" absentmindedly and walked to his bed inside.
Wang Fei was also very thick-skinned, he didn't take it seriously at all, and followed Zhang Muye with low eyebrows, but he didn't expect Yu Jun, who was sitting on the bed, to suddenly jump up and smile at Zhang Muye, "Brother Zhao is busy outside, I'm afraid I'm hungry." ā
As he spoke, he cautiously took out a cloth bag from his arms, opened it, and saw that it was two steamed buns and two eggs, which were still steaming in winter.
"The canteen is closed, the little brother is worried that Brother Zhao hasn't eaten yet, so he took it upon himself to bring a little back, and I don't know if Brother Zhao likes to eat or not, big brother, do you want to dislike it, eat it while it's hot, and wrap your belly. ā
Zhang Muye saw him holding the steamed buns and eggs in his hands, looking at himself with a look of hope, and felt a little strange in his heart, there was something wrong with this thing's brain? He looked at Wang Fei who was scratching his ears and cheeks in a hurry, and his heart was even more strange, why did they pat themselves like this?
He didn't take the steamed egg in Yu Jun's hand, but patted him on the shoulder, "Brother Yu is kind to me, forget about this egg and steamed bun, I'm not hungry now." ā
He was indeed not hungry, and when he saw that the eggs and steamed buns were taken out of Yu Jun's arms, he lost his appetite.
When Yu Jun heard this, he was disappointed and re-wrapped the egg steamed bun and stuffed it into his arms. When Wang Fei next to him saw this scene, his original anxiety was gone, and he turned into a gloating face.
Zhang Muye didn't understand what the situation of the two of them was now, and he was vying to pat himself on the back, but he didn't want to understand what their situation was, in his opinion, even if he didn't find Xiang Yu and them today, he could only temporarily live in Qizong to eat and drink, he was destined to not be able to go with them.
Maybe there is such a thing as a flying pigeon, and it only takes ten days for Zhang Dali to pick him up. Take 10,000 steps back and say, even if you can't leave for a while, if you want to stay in the Instrument Sect for a long time, you will be different from them, and you are destined to not go together.
However, thinking of the flying pigeon to pass the book, he asked Yu Jun and the others, "Brother Yu, Brother Wang, I don't know if there is a place for the flying pigeon to pass the book in this Wuwei City?"
The black-faced Wang Fei heard Zhang Muye's question, and hurriedly dragged Yu Jun back, Yu Jun was already thin, and he was so dragged that he almost didn't fall to the ground and gnaw a mouthful of soil.
Wang Fei didn't care about Yu Jun, and said to Zhang Muye with a smile, "Brother Zhao, if you ask this flying pigeon to pass the book elsewhere, you may not have this rare thing, but this Wuwei City really has it." It's in the Hongyan Pavilion in the south of the city, I heard that there are pigeons from all over the country, as long as you send a letter, you can send it, I don't know where Brother Zhao wants to send the letter?"
Zhang Muye was also happy when he heard that there was really such a place, but when he heard Wang Fei's words, he asked, "What, the places are different, and there are differences?"
Wang Fei smiled, "Of course, there is a difference, the more people there are, the fewer pigeons there are, if you are in a hurry to deliver the letter, there may be a shortage for a while." ā
There should be no problem in Jiangyin, Zhang Muye thought so, but still asked, "I don't know how many pigeons in Jiangyin raise?"
Wang Fei thought for a while and said, "Actually, I don't know very well, but Jiangyin is a big place, and the road is not far, so there should be a lot of pigeons." ā
Zhang Muye was concerned about the price again, "I don't know how much money is spent?"
This time Wang Fei shook his head, "I don't know about this, but I'm afraid it's not cheap, I heard that someone sent a letter from Wuwei to Jinzhou, and it cost two taels of silver at a time." ā
Wuwei is indeed closer to Jiangzhou than Jinzhou, but it is also very limited, Jinzhou needs two taels, then Jiangzhou also needs at least one tael of silver to start.
Zhang Muye was originally in a better mood because of the existence of Hongyan Pavilion, but now he has become depressed because of these two taels of silver, not to mention two taels of silver, even if he doesn't have a penny.
I don't think it's a lot of silver, but it's different when I compare it, as a disciple in the outer sect of the Instrument Sect, a month's regular money is one or two silver, which means that he stays here for a month, and he may not be able to send a letter back when he gets his salary.
Moreover, the regular money of the disciples of the Instrument Sect is already terrifying, if it is in some inn or restaurant or other place, it will be at most three or four dollars of silver a month, which is less than half of the disciples of the Instrument Sect. That's why so many ordinary people have to drill into the sect after sharpening their heads, just because the wages are high, the work is light, and the social status is high.
In fact, the flying pigeon book is not a powerful thing, but it is just a feature that the pigeon can know its own nest. However, the flat-haired animal is the flat-haired animal, and it cannot be taught to know the way, so the flying pigeon can only send a letter to one place, and when the letter is delivered, the pigeon will be brought back to this place.
The ability to build a complete system of flying pigeons shows that the Hongyan Pavilion has set up a communication station in each place, and such a communication station is the nest of a group of pigeons. For example, if you send a letter from Wuwei to Jiangyin, you have to take a pigeon that was fed in Jiangyin before, tie the letter to its feet, and it will naturally fly back to its nest in Jiangyin with the letter.
Then at the communication station in Jiangyin, naturally someone would take down the letter and finally deliver it to the recipient manually.
The way for the flying pigeon to pass the book was broken, and Zhang Muye could only ask again, "Is there any other way to send the letter to Jiangyin, and don't want silver?" Speaking of not wanting silver, Zhang Muye's cheekiness almost turned red.
Wang Fei couldn't think of a way with a face in embarrassment, this condition was too harsh, how could there be a way not to use silver.
Yu Jun, who was almost pushed down by Wang Fei just now, came up again at this time, stretched his head and said, "Brother Zhao, I have a way, I have a cousin, he usually travels between Jiangzhou and Yunzhou, and it is not a trivial matter to bring you a letter without money." ā
Zhang Muye was overjoyed, and cheekily made a small request, "Then I don't know if I can bring someone from Yunzhou to Jiangzhou without money?"
Yu Jun said embarrassedly, "My cousin is actually the son of my cousin's nephew of my aunt's father-in-law, I'm afraid, it's not okay to take someone." ā
As he spoke, Yu Jun's skinny face turned red, a little embarrassed, and said hesitantly, "Why don't I go and help Brother Zhao ask?"
What else is this asking, is the cousin's cousin of the nephew of the eldest aunt's father-in-law called cousin? Zhang Muye was a little confused, but he also knew that looking at Yu Jun's expression, let alone bringing someone, even if he didn't need money to bring a letter, it was estimated that it would be enough.
But he still smiled and said, "No, just bring a letter, I'll give you the letter immediately, and I'll send it to me for me." ā
Yu Jun breathed a sigh of relief, and the folds on his face were lightened, just now he was pulled by Wang Fei, and he didn't have the opportunity to make up for the sycophancy, and then heard that Zhang Muye wanted to help, so he hurriedly moved out his super distant cousin.
It's just a letter, even if the friendship is not good, a few pennies will be done. spent a few pennies and patted Brother Zhao's ass, won't there be a good life in the future.
I wanted to write a letter, but I didn't have pen and ink, and I didn't expect that Ma Yanbao, who had not spoken all the time, saw that he wanted pen and ink, and silently took out pen and ink and paper from the burden and gave it to him.
Zhang Muye glanced at him, thanked him, and began to write. In the previous life, Zhang Muye also practiced calligraphy, and he couldn't write very well, so he could barely read it.
When he finished writing, there was no envelope, so he folded it a few times and gave it to Yu Jun, who didn't dare to delay, and immediately went out to send him a letter.
Seeing the back of Yu Jun delivering the letter, Zhang Muye seemed to have seen the situation when Zhang Dali came to pick him up more than ten days later.
