Liu Zhenzhen was helpless, glanced at the red line, pulled her aside, and asked in a low voice, "Sister red line, do you have any money with you?"

Red Line glanced at her strangely, but replied, "Bring it." ”

Liu Zhenzhen asked again, "How much did you bring?"

Hongxian took out a small purse, opened it and looked at it, and then said, "It's not much, there should be two taels." ”

Two taels of silver, it should be enough to eat. Liu Zhenzhen breathed a sigh of relief when she heard this, and said again: "Sister Red Line, I forgot to bring money, your money will be lent to me first, and I will pay you back when I go back." ”

Hongxian asked rhetorically: "Sister Zhenzhen, how much do you want to borrow?"

Liu Zhenzhen said: "Take it all." ”

Hongxian hesitated when she heard this, "So much! Sister Zhenzhen, can't you just borrow one or two lines? I still want to buy sugar gourds to eat." ”

Liu Zhenzhen shook her head and discussed: "I'm afraid that half of it is not enough, besides, the sugar gourd doesn't need so much money." Good sister, next time we come out, let's buy sugar gourds, shall we?"

Red Line hesitated again for a moment before reluctantly agreeing, "Okay." Saying that, he handed over the silver purse to Liu Zhenzhen, and then couldn't help but say, "When I went out, Uncle Xu asked if he had brought any money, and Sister Zhenzhen said that he had brought it." ”

Liu Zhenzhen's face turned red when she heard this, and she said embarrassedly: "I forgot it when I changed my clothes." After taking the purse, he turned to Lu San and said, "Yes, but my sister and I don't drink." ”

Lu San said with a smile: "It's important to get down to business, you can drink less wine." Then he turned to Hu Si, "Fourth Brother Hu." Let's go together. ”

Fourth Brother Hu nodded with a smile and greeted the stall owner next to him, "Boss Xu, help take care of the stall, I'll come back after dinner." ”

That Boss Xu is a candy blower, and said with a smile: "Go, leave the stall to me, don't worry." The fourth brother Hu cleaned up a little, and said, "Let's go." ”

At that moment, Lu San led the way and went to a restaurant. The shopkeeper came over to say hello. With a smiling face, he said, "Third Brother Lu." Coming over for dinner?"

Lu San waved his hand grinningly, "I met a big boss, little second brother, is there a single room? We have some business matters to discuss." ”

The shopkeeper smiled and said, "Third Brother Lu." Please follow me. He led the crowd with him. Entered a compartment.

Na Lu San glanced into the compartment a few times. Then he nodded with satisfaction, and said to the shopkeeper: "Little second brother, what good wine and good food are there?" Just come up. ”

"Hey!" Liu Zhenzhen hurriedly stopped him, "We are in a hurry to go out, and we don't have much money on us." ”

Lu San looked a little unhappy, and then asked, "How many did you bring?"

Liu Zhenzhen thought for a while, and then said, "There are about one tael of silver." She only said half of it, just in case something unexpected or something else happened. She is a young lady, pampered since childhood, there is no clear concept of money, this time with Xu Mo, Xu Mo is easy to make money, and everywhere she spends money. So much so that in her heart, a tael of silver was only a small amount. But I don't know that it would be good for an ordinary family to have one or two pieces of silver a month.

Lu San immediately breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, and said with a smile: "The girl is really a big boss, obviously she has one or two silver, and she still thinks it is little." As soon as he said this, Hu Si and the shopkeeper both laughed.

When Liu Zhenzhen heard this, her face couldn't help but blush.

Lu San waved his hand, and said to the shopkeeper: "Little second brother, you just follow the banquet for one or two silvers, this girl is a rich man, you don't need to save money for her." ”

"Okay, Third Brother Lu, wait a minute, the wine and food will come soon. The shopkeeper agreed and went with a smile.

Lu San beckoned Liu Zhenzhen and Hongxian to sit down, and invited Hu Si to sit down, and he was accompanied by the prime minister. At first, he casually talked about some gossip, and soon after, when the wine and food came up, Lu San greeted him, and ate with Hu Sisi. Liu Zhenzhen saw that the two of them were eating vulgarly, so she only watched them eat. Red Line doesn't eat these foods at all, so neither of them moves.

The cups and plates that Lu Sanhu Si had been eating were messy, the juice was overflowing, and he rubbed his stomach and burped after the worst.

Liu Zhenzhen finally couldn't help but ask, "Can we talk about business?"

Lu San nodded and greeted loudly: "Little second brother, there is paper, ink, pen and inkstone, borrow it for use." ”

"Okay. The shopkeeper heard it outside, agreed, and soon after, he came in with a pen, ink, paper, and inkstone.

Lu San waved his hand and asked him to go out, and when the shopkeeper was gone, he closed the door, and then said to Hu Si: "Fourth Brother Hu, I'm sorry for you." ”

Hu Si nodded, picked up the pen, and wrote on the paper: Xu Mo, a student of the scientific examination, on the day after the registration for the imperial examination, because of the urgency at hand, he borrowed one hundred taels of silver from Lu San for the examination turnover, and returned it on the second day of the deadline, without counting the silver interest, and hereby set up this agreement as proof. Guarantor Hu Si, August 1 of the first year of Zheng.

After Hu Si finished writing, he dried the ink, picked it up and read it again. Lu San explained: "Today is July 29, girl, I will spend two days to do it, and on August 1, I can help you report your name." Therefore, the date of the IOU is August 1. Girl, take a look, do you have any opinions?"

Liu Zhenzhen took it and looked at it, but she didn't find any loopholes, in fact, even if there were loopholes, she couldn't see it. He nodded his head.

Lu San said: "In that case, girl, please sign a name, or make a handprint." ”

Liu Zhenzhen thought about it for a while, and then put a handprint on it. Hu Si also signed his name.

Lu San smiled, put away the IOU, and asked again: "Girl, what does this Xu Mo look like? Please describe it, it is easy to use when you sign up." ”

"He ......," Liu Zhenzhen then described Xu Mo's appearance.

Lu San smiled: "It's good, I remembered, but I can't say it in such detail when I sign up, otherwise...... Otherwise...... He also guessed that Liu Zhenzhen used someone else's name, which might be related to the substitute exam, so he didn't finish speaking, but Ha Luha smiled, brought it over, and continued: "I just said that the face is white and beardless, and the appearance is good." ”

Then he reminded: "Girl, don't forget, the repayment date on this IOU is August 2. On that day, we will hand over the money in one hand and the identity card in the other. As for the meeting place, do you have any suggestions for the girl?"

Liu Zhenzhen groaned slightly, "It's still in this restaurant." ”

"Very good. Lu San stroked his palms and smiled, "At noon on August 2, we will still meet in this restaurant." As he spoke, he stood up, "I'm going to get out of the city as soon as possible, girl, please take care of yourself." Fourth Brother Hu, let's go together?"

Na Hu Si nodded. The two walked out of the city together. Yoo Jung-jung waited for them to leave. After calling the shopkeeper, she was already hungry, so she ordered a bowl of noodles, and helped the red line order a bowl of sweet soup and a few fruits. After eating. The bill was paid. I walked out of the restaurant.

Hongxian followed her all the time, and finally couldn't help but ask suspiciously: "Sister Zhenzhen, why do you want to use Uncle Xu's name when you sign up for Lu?"

Liu Zhenzhen's face turned red. She used Xu Mo's name, in fact, she just wanted to let him do it after she won the test, but she couldn't say this to the red line, and said vaguely at the moment: "I can't take the exam, so I have to use his name, don't tell him." ”

Hongxian nodded, expressing understanding, and said guessingly: "Uncle Xu knows that if you use his name fraudulently, you may be angry." ”

"yes, yes. Liu Zhenzhen smiled slightly.

Hongxian remembered something again, and then asked, "Sister Zhenzhen, shall we go back now?"

Liu Zhenzhen shook her head, "I won't ask him for it, if I ask for it a few times, he will look down on me in his heart." I'm going to earn my own money. ”

Hongxian was surprised when he heard this, "You go to earn money yourself, how do you earn it?"

Liu Zhenzhen said with a smile: "Mountain people have their own tricks, if you come with me, you will know the way." "Talking about playing, pull the red line, and walk forward. Stopped a passer-by and asked, "Where is the nearest pharmacy?"

The passer-by pointed her down, "Just go ahead." ”

Liu Zhenzhen took the red line and walked towards the pharmacy. She was smart-minded, and when Xu Mo was teaching prescriptions in Tongyuanguan, she stood aside and listened, and wrote them all down, and now that she was short of money, she remembered those prescriptions.

When I entered the pharmacy, I was greeted by the shopkeeper, "Girl, do you want to grab the medicine?"

Liu Zhenzhen nodded, "I want these medicines......" and then said more than a dozen kinds of medicines, and after finishing speaking, he added: "Help me crush them again." ”

The shopkeeper grabbed the medicine as he said, put the medicine into the mortar and helped her mash it, and wrapped it separately. Liu Zhenzhen knew the account, and spent a total of seven dollars of silver, and the silver coins in the red line belt totaled two taels and eight cents, and it took one or two and forty-seven dollars to eat in the restaurant, so there was still left.

The two came out and walked to a hidden place, where Liu Zhenzhen took out two of the packets of medicine and dumped them into a stinky ditch. With the red line, continue to move forward, walked to a tea stall, Liu Zhenzhen gave Dr. Tea two dollars, borrowed a big bowl, asked for a bowl of boiled water, poured the medicine into the bowl, mixed it with water and stirred evenly, and smiled at the red line: "Sister Red Line, you come to help me?"

Hongxian asked suspiciously: "Sister Zhenzhen, what are you doing?"

Liu Zhenzhen smiled: "Let's make them into balls." After speaking, he grabbed a handful of medicinal mud and made a few doughs in his palm, forming a ball.

"It's fun. The red line was interesting, so she went over to help, and the two girls came out with dozens of pills, and the medicine ran out.

Dr. Tea watched strangely from the sidelines, unable to guess what they were doing.

After the group finished the medicine, Liu Zhenzhen returned the bowl, and asked Dr. Cha again: "Uncle, is there a martial arts hall near here?"

Dr. Tea said: "Martial Arts, in the willow alley, you go straight, cross this road, continue to go forward, turn a corner, walk to a big willow tree, and ask people again." ”

Liu Zhenzhen thanked her, feeling that the journey was a little far, so she went back with the red line, passed by the vendor who sold sugar gourds, spent more than a dozen yuan, bought two skewers, and the two of them ate one skewer each, went back to find the coachman, and asked him to pull the two over.

The coachman's carriage had already been contracted by Xu Mo on a monthly basis, and he immediately dragged the two of them to Yangliushu Hutong. In the carriage, Hongxian couldn't help but ask, "Sister Zhenzhen, what kind of medicine did you get?"

Liu Zhenzhen smiled: "This is a golden medicine, which specializes in treating wounds." ”

Hongxian was surprised: "Ah, Sister Zhenzhen, it turns out that you also know medical skills, is this from the book?"

Liu Zhenzhen said: "No, it's his ......" Speaking of this, he suddenly paused, and reminded: "You forgot, that time in the Tongyuan Temple, I wrote down all the prescriptions you Uncle Xu said, and this is one of them." ”

"Huh!" Hongxian was shocked again, and praised: "Sister Zhenzhen, you are so smart." I don't remember any of them. ”

Liu Zhenzhen said with a smile: "That's because you didn't remember it with your heart, there were so many people at that time, everyone didn't remember it very well, he said it many times, how can you remember it with your heart." ”

The red line nodded, and the carriage kept moving forward for a long time before it reached Willow Alley.

The coachman shouted outside, "Girl, it's here." ”

Yoo Jung-jeong and the red line got out of the carriage. Then I saw a courtyard. There is a signboard on the far gate, the signboard reads Jinyun Martial Arts Hall, the courtyard gate is wide open, and there is a shouting sound in the courtyard.

The two walked straight in. Then he entered a courtyard. Dozens of people in that courtyard were exercising their fists and feet. Liu Zhenzhen raised her voice and asked, "Is the pavilion owner here?"

The dozens of people heard the young woman's voice and all turned their heads to look. Seeing that it was a beautiful girl with a delicate girl, I couldn't help but take a few more looks. A young man shouted, "Owner, owner, there's a girl looking for you." Then he smiled enthusiastically at Liu Zhenzhen: "Girl, wait a while, our pavilion master will come out." By the way, what are you looking for our owner?"

Before Liu Zhenzhen could answer, she heard a loud voice and asked loudly: "Xiao Jiu, what girl is looking for me, is it He Qianqian?" and then scolded, "This little girl, don't look for me if you don't have anything to do." "He Qianqian is a fan he met in the yard.

"No, it's a strange girl. That Xiao Jiu smiled and said, "This girl is much better looking than He Qianqian." ”

"Better looking than He Qianqian, how can you find me a rough man? boy, dare to talk nonsense, be careful of your skin. The loud voice threatened.

That Xiao Jiu was not afraid, and smiled again: "You will know the Tao when you come out and take a look." ”

The footsteps sounded, and the loud voice quickly walked out of the inner courtyard, it was a strong man in his forties, with a scruffy beard, seeing Liu Zhenzhen and the red line, his eyes lit up, and he said loudly: "Two girls looking for my old Jia?"

Liu Zhenzhen asked rhetorically, "Are you the hall owner?"

The strong man smiled and said: "If the girl is looking for the owner of the pavilion, it is me, in Xia Jia Jinyun, the owner of the Jinyun Martial Arts Pavilion." ”

Liu Zhenzhen smiled secretly when she heard this, this strong man has a rough appearance, and he actually took such an elegant name.

Immediately said: "It turned out to be the owner of the Jia Pavilion, and it was polite." He bowed slightly.

The strong man grinned and said, "The girl is too polite, what's the matter with me Lao Jia?"

Liu Zhenzhen said: "I have some golden medicine here, I want to ask Pavilion Master Jia to take a look." As he spoke, he took out a golden medicine and handed it to the strong man.

The strong man looked down at Jin Chuangyao, then at Liu Zhenzhen, and said suspiciously, "The girl is here to sell medicine?"

Liu Zhenzhen nodded and said: "I have this plan, Pavilion Master Jia, my golden medicine is very easy to use, if you are injured, after applying it, it can stop the bleeding immediately, and after a day, it can be healed without leaving a scar." ”

The strong man Jia Pavilion Master said: "It's quite amazing, girl, how much silver do you have for this medicine?"

Liu Zhenzhen said: "It's not expensive, one or two pieces of silver." ”

As soon as he said this, everyone in the martial arts hall couldn't help but take a breath of cold air. Pavilion Master Jia asked loudly, "One tael of silver is not expensive?"

Liu Zhenzhen was taken aback, and she was a little uncertain in her heart, so she hurriedly changed her words: "If one or two is not good, then five dollars is fine." ”

"Not a penny. Pavilion Master Jia said loudly: "I am a martial artist, and I will prepare the medicine myself, and I will not even get a penny for a pair of medicines." ”

Liu Zhenzhen said: "But how can your medicine be as good as mine." ”

"Ha Lu Ha!" Na Jia Pavilion Master laughed loudly, "Girl, who do you think we are?"

Liu Zhenzhen was puzzled, looked at him a few times, and said as if guessing: "Martial artist." ”

The owner of the Najia Pavilion smiled, and then asked, "Do you think we look like rich people?" he said and pointed to the martial artists in the courtyard, "These people who practice martial arts with me are all children of poor families, and they don't have any money to learn three fists and two kicks, just to be a caretaker for the rich people." Even if you get injured occasionally, a simple bandage is enough. Who is willing to use your medicine for a tael of silver? Besides, who can afford to use it?"

Liu Zhenzhen continued: "My medicine has a very good effect. ”

Pavilion Master Jia smiled: "Girl, you are in the wrong place, maybe you should go to the dart bureau or the barracks to have a look." It's just a dart game, they haven't opened for three years, and they haven't been open for three years, and they may not be willing to buy such an expensive drug as you. ”

Liu Zhenzhen was about to say more, but the owner of the Najia Pavilion waved his hand and drove her out.

Liu Zhenzhen was helpless and walked out of the martial arts hall with the red line. Seeing that her medicine was not sold, Hongxian was a little depressed, took her hand, and asked in a low voice, "Sister Zhenzhen, do you still want to sell it?"

Liu Zhenzhen bit her lower lip, "Look elsewhere and find a dart game." ”

Then I asked a passer-by and asked a Zhenyuan dart bureau, took a car over, and entered the dart bureau. The dart game is really like what the owner of the Jia Pavilion said, it is easy not to open, and it will be open for three years. Liu Zhenzhen went in and said that the result was the same as the martial arts hall, and she was kicked out without selling drugs.

The two of them came out of the dart game, and their mood was a little low. Hongxian whispered: "Sister Zhenzhen, it doesn't matter if you can't sell it, let's go back to Uncle Xu and ask for it." You have been married to him, can he not give it to you?"

Liu Zhenzhen gritted her teeth, lowered her head and thought for a moment, and shook her head lightly, "I didn't ask him, if I asked for more, he would look down on me." If he can do it, I can do it, so let's ask elsewhere. ”

Red Line asked, "Where are you going?"

Liu Zhenzhen thought for a while, "Why don't you go to the barracks and ask?" Then she frowned again and hesitated: "It's just that outsiders are forbidden to enter the barracks, especially women, can we two girls enter?"

At this moment, someone suddenly shouted, "Two girls, please wait, please wait." ”

Liu Zhenzhen looked back and saw the Xiao Jiu she saw in the Jinyun Martial Arts Pavilion, and said strangely: "What's the matter with you?"

The little nine ran over panting, panting and saying, "Two girls, I can find you, let's take a step to talk." (To be continued......)
