Chapter 38 A Proverb
Yuan Quan helped Qian Yi into the carriage and said, "Then let's go north to Dadu and find your father." ”
Qian Yi said: "I have changed my mind, let's go to Luoyang first." ”
"Luoyang, why do you want to go to Luoyang?" asked Yuan Quan.
Qian Yi smiled and said, "If I take you to see my father, I can't say that you are a wanted criminal in the Manchurian Dynasty!"
Yuan Quan was not ashamed of this, but in order not to make it difficult for Qian Yi, he relied on her, but he really didn't understand why he wanted to go to Luoyang. At this time, Qian Yi said again: "Luoyang is the helm of the beggar gang, you killed the elder of the beggar gang Zhu Chusan by mistake this time, and you are married to the first gang in the Central Plains, but as long as you go to their helm to take the blame, I believe that you can always resolve the grievances, and I will help you with the rest, so you will naturally be removed from the bounty list." ”
Qian Yi is worthy of being a noble and famous woman, and her way of thinking and speaking is completely different from Yuan Quan. It's just that Yuan Quan doesn't care about this, but hopes that he can be at the top of the bounty list, but since Qian Yi wants to be good, then be good, after all, he will not be alone in the future, no woman likes to live on the tip of a knife all day long, but will this beggar gang easily spare himself, so he said: "After all, it is a human life, and it is their elder, you say that this beggar gang will stop here?"
Qian Yi said: "The current leader of the Beggar Gang is called Bai Mujun, and he is a heroic figure. I heard my father say that since Xiangyang City was broken by the Yuan army that year, the beggar gang, as a civilian rebel army, suffered heavy losses, almost lost their vitality, and many masters and martial arts masters were almost lost. At that time, the young Bai Mujun was talented, and he was ordered to take over the will of his predecessors, and learned the skills such as the eighteen palms of the dragon and the dog stick method, and then ran around the country to contact the major rudders, after these years of hard work, the beggar gang has approached the most glorious period of the year. Therefore, the white gang leader is also quite famous in the rivers and lakes, and he does not lose to the abbot of Shaolin Temple, so as long as you humbly ask for guilt, with his bearing, he will naturally not worry about you. ”
When Yuan Quan heard this, he really wanted to make friends with this person, but he was afraid that he would be narrow-minded and make things difficult for himself at that time. said: "Okay, a manly man can bend and stretch, and when the time comes, I will endure the humiliation and burden, serve tea and admit my mistakes, as long as he is not strong, I will definitely not frown." ”
Qian Yi couldn't help but be overjoyed when she saw Yuan Quanken lowering his arrogant head, and stretched out her hand to hold his arm, at this time, Yuan Quanquan said again: "Before I go to Luoyang, I have one more thing to do first." ”
"What's the matter?" Qian Yi said.
Yuan Quan smiled and said, "I haven't taken a bath for a month, so let's find a place to wash first, lest the white gang leader mistakenly think that I am going to apply to join the beggar gang!"
Qian Yi pretended to be angry and said angrily: "Okay, you dare to make fun of me!"
Yuan Quandao: "Hehe, I not only want to take a bath, but also take a mandarin duck bath!"
"Hmph, stinky rascal, I won't pay attention to you anymore!"
"I didn't say I wanted to wash with you!"
"Okay, you, I'm going to tell my father and ask him to offer a reward of 100,000 taels of gold for your life!"
The two frolicked all the way, traveled more than 30 miles west, and arrived at a small town. Yuan Quan found an inn, asked for an upper room, and instructed the innkeeper to bring two large wooden barrels for bathing, separated only by a curtain, filled with warm water, and sprinkled with flower petals. After that, Yuan Quandang was wide-dressed, Qian Yi scolded the hooligan and hurriedly ran to the other side of the curtain, at this time there was the sound of Yuan Quan's playing, and he instantly felt itchy all over his body, this bath must be washed, and said: "Then I want to take a bath in wide clothes, you are not allowed to peek." ”
Yuan Quandao: "Miss Qian, do you want me to serve you in wide clothes?"
"No, no, no, I'll do it myself. Qian Yi said busily, and then looked through the curtain, and found that Yuan Quan was really facing away from him, immediately relieved, slowly removed his clothes, and then stepped on the pedals, and slowly entered the bucket, only to feel that the water temperature was pleasant, extremely comfortable, and the fatigue of the days was swept away. Behind him, there was a little song humming by Yuan Quan, and the sound of scooping water, and I suddenly felt that the most pleasant thing in life was nothing more than that.
The two took a bath, ate and drank well in the restaurant, slept until the next morning, and then began to continue westward, which went to Luoyang for only more than 100 miles, and in the evening, the two arrived at Luoyang City. The prosperity here is not lost to Lin'an, the traffic is busy, and the flow of people is endless. But after all, I am not familiar with life, and I don't know where the helm of the beggar gang is, so I have to stay first and make plans tomorrow.
Yuan Huan set up the carriage and came to a prosperous restaurant, intending to have a full meal first, so the two got off the carriage, entered and chose a private seat, and ordered a table full of dishes. Yuan Quan was already very hungry, and immediately ate and drank, but Qian Yi suddenly had a worried face, Yuan Quan said: "Sister Qian Yi, what's wrong with you, the wine and food are not appetizing." ”
Qian Yi shook his head and said, "Brother Quan, have you noticed that since we entered Luoyang City, there have been many people following us along the way, as well as those beggar disciples, all of whom looked at each other angrily. ”
Yuan Quandao: "What are you afraid of, with me, no one dares to touch you." ”
Qian Yi said: "I'm not afraid of this, you are making a big fuss in Shaolin this time, I am afraid that everyone will know it, presumably the whole world will say that you are a heinous person, I am just worried that the beggar gang will misinterpret our intentions." ”
Yuan Quan smiled: "Don't worry, tomorrow we will go to their helm, we must be respectful, you eat quickly." ”
Qian Yi smiled with relief, and at this time, he suddenly heard someone next to him: "I heard that there is a big incident in the upper seat?
Another person: "Is it about the rich man Qian Yuan?" Qian Yi didn't care about the rumors in the market, but when he heard that it was about his father, he immediately pricked up his ears. I only heard another person: "What happened to Qian Yuan?"
The first person said: "This Qian Yuan is a big deal, I heard that I offended that Kublai Khan, this time I am afraid that I will go bankrupt, maybe I will be in a different place." When Qian Yi heard this, she was stunned, she didn't expect that such a major event would happen less than a month after she left. At this time, the latter person asked, "How could this Qian Yuan offend Kublai Khan? How could such a big businessman be so confused." ”
Another said: "Think about it, this Qian Yuan is a Han after all, and he is rich enough to rival the country, so he is naturally a scourge to the Tartars, and sooner or later he will have to be designed to get rid of him." When Qian Yi heard this, she must have offended Ba Sipa, so she couldn't help but blame herself deeply, and tears fell down her eyes. Yuan Quan naturally heard it, and was afraid that Qian Yi would be sad, so he immediately reached out and held her.
At this time, the latter person said, "Then do you know how this Kublai Khan got rid of this rich man?"
The first person said: "There is no excuse for the crime that you want to add, but this time the dog emperor is really clever, he sent someone to send a tael of gold to Qian Yuan, saying that he borrowed him, the emperor said that he wanted to borrow money from you, you can't help but accept it, then since it is borrowed, there must be interest, Qian Yuan asked the eunuch how to calculate the interest, the eunuch said that it will be doubled in a day, and it will be taken again in 100 days. ”
When Qian Yi heard this, the chopsticks in his hand suddenly slipped quietly, and his face was shocked. At this time, the next person in the next seat smiled and said: "Hey, I thought it was a big deal, just one or two gold to borrow for a hundred days, it was a drop in the bucket for the rich man, how could he not pay it." ”
Another person: "You, it's really stupider than a pig, this two gold doubles every day, and it will be available on the hundredth, in short, after the news came out, there was a lot of uproar, and no one used the silver ticket of Huitian Money Village anymore, and the people in other parts of the country also took the silver ticket to redeem the silver, so Qian Yuan was short of funds, so he had to sell the property under his name, what pawnshop restaurant and the like all sold at a low price, brother, you still have the silver ticket in your hand, hurry up to exchange the silver, and it will become waste paper when it is late." When the man heard this, he hurriedly said: "Thank you big brother for reminding me, I'm going to go now!"
When Yuan Quan heard this, he couldn't calculate how much gold he had to pay back in the past 100 days, and said, "Sister Qian Yi, how much gold do you have to pay to the dog emperor after this 100 days?"
Qian Yi wiped away her tears and said, "Probably a million taels of gold." Yuan Quan was shocked, he didn't expect that one or two gold could become so much, this dog emperor really eats people and doesn't spit out bones, and then he thought about it, all this may have started by himself, if he hadn't offended that Ba Si Pa several times, it would not have caused Qian Yi's family wealth to be scattered. At this time, he suddenly remembered that he still had a million taels of gold in Yongsiling, which could help his father make a comeback, and hurriedly said: "Sister Qian Yi, don't be afraid, I just have nearly a million taels of gold, and after a hundred days, I will take it to your father, and I can just repay this debt." ”
Qian Yi was also taken aback when he heard Yuan Quan say that there were one million taels of gold, and immediately understood that the rumors of the treasure of Yongsiling were true. But after thinking about it, since Kublai Khan was intent on killing my Qian family, even if he really gave it to him this time, he was not allowed to have more poisonous tricks next time, so he said: "No need Brother Yuan, the heart of the Yuan people will not die in my Qian family, even if you really give him a million gold, how can they give up, you are just increasing their treasury in vain." Yuan Quan listened, nodded, and felt that it made sense, it was better to pick up Qian Yi's father at that time, and everyone would live in seclusion together, with this million taels of gold, they would still be chic and happy. At this time, I saw Qian Yi slowly leaning over, snuggling up to his chest, and said, "Brother Yuan, you treat me so well, I am satisfied with your heart." ”
Yuan Quan also felt that Qian Yi was extremely gentle at the moment, and reached out to rub her, just when the two were affectionate, he suddenly heard someone outside shouting: "It's on fire, it's on fire, whose carriage is on fire." ”
