I only heard his old lady continue: "Xiao Jiu, I heard that the saint is Longen, and he has opened Enke, this Enke, it is different from before, how many people want to enter Beijing for the exam, food, use, and wear, especially pen, ink, paper and inkstone, which are easier to sell." If you learn martial arts from others, it won't work, so it's better to take this opportunity to do some small business. I gave up this old face and borrowed a tael of silver from your aunt, Xiao Jiu, you can use it, and buy some pen, ink, paper and inkstone from the neighboring state capital to sell, it is serious. ”

Zhu Yanjiu was taken aback again when he heard this, "Mother, you borrowed money from your aunt's family?"

His wife sighed, "I'm an old woman, I don't have many days to live, so let the grievances of more than ten years ago pass." ”

Zhu Yanjiu asked, "Aunt she...... How could she lend it to you?"

His wife said: "The grievances of more than ten years ago have been put down, and I was the first to enter her door." Xiao Jiu, I asked someone just now, tomorrow the Deng family's silk shop will go to Anping Mansion to buy goods, let you go with the family, the old neighbors, Steward Deng also agreed. On the road, you have to have more eyesight, be diligent with your hands and feet, and remember to help if you need to help. These two pieces of silver, you take them as capital, put in the pen, ink, paper, and inkstone, and come back with the Deng family's car. ”

As he spoke, his wife trembled and took out something from her bosom, and wrapped the three layers inside and the three layers outside with a handkerchief, which must have been the one or two pieces of silver borrowed from his aunt's house.

When Zhu Yanjiu saw it, he couldn't help but feel sad again. He turned his head away and quietly wiped away tears.

His old lady trembled and opened the veil, but it was wrapped in it. But it's just a stone. His aunt deceived his wife into not seeing it, and gave him a stone as money.

His old lady didn't know what to say, so she picked up the stone from the handkerchief and handed it over, "Xiao Jiu, take it quickly." ”

Zhu Yanjiu finally couldn't help crying, and at the same time looking at the stone, he couldn't help but feel angry in his heart. He grabbed it and threw it into the distance, smashing the stone against the wall. There was a dull soft 'bang'. Fall to the ground.

His wife was surprised and said, "You kid, what's the matter? I know that you are annoyed with your aunt, but how can you throw away the money she gave? Go and pick it up." ”

Zhu Yanjiu said loudly: "Mother." Don't say she's an aunt. What kind of aunt is she? She lied to you. Whatever money is given to you is a stone. ”

"Stones?" his wife couldn't help but let out a long sigh. His face was gray, and he stood in place, not moving for a long time.

"Mother!" Zhu Yanjiu shouted, "You will never go to her house again." ”

"Alas!" said his old lady with a long sigh again, and did not reply.

Zhu Yanjiu continued: "There is a good thing, the child forgot to tell you. Just yesterday, the child met a noble man, helped her do something, and earned a lot of money, mother, you touch, this is silver. As he spoke, he took out a big silver ingot weighing ten taels from his body and handed it to his mother, "Mother, you touch it." ”

His old lady grabbed it in her hand, felt such a big piece of silver, was taken aback, and said in disbelief: "Xiao Jiu, this is silver?

Zhu Yanjiu hurriedly said: "No, mother, this is silver, you touch it carefully, compared with the stone just now, see if it is the same?"

His old lady held the ingot of silver tightly in her hand, but she felt a little uneasy in her heart, "Xiao Jiu, how much silver is this?"

Zhu Yanjiu said: "It's ten taels." ”

"Ten taels?" his wife was taken aback again, "Can you earn ten taels of silver in a day?" No wonder his wife doesn't believe it, ordinary people, don't say a day. In a year's time, it would be good to earn ten taels of silver. The neighborhoods can take out ten taels of silver at a time and count them on their fingers.

Zhu Yanjiu said with a smile: "Where is ten taels? Mother, the child earned it in one day yesterday...... I earned seventy or eighty taels. "Yesterday, the money he earned was actually almost 1,000 taels, and he said it all, and he was afraid of scaring his wife, so he only said a tenth.

Rao is like this, his wife listened, her eyes still widened, it felt like a dream, and it took a long time to react, but it turned out to be scared, and said worriedly: "Xiao Jiu, what kind of business do you have, can you earn seventy or eighty taels a day? Don't ...... Don't be ......"

Speaking of this, after a pause, she suspected that her son had snatched it, but she didn't say it explicitly, "We are serious people, it doesn't matter if we are poor, we can't make mistakes." ”

Zhu Yanjiu said: "No, mother, this is serious business." That nobleman, well, I'm just helping to sell something. ”

His wife was not at ease, and continued to ask: "What do you sell to make so much money?"

Zhu Yanjiu smiled, but didn't say it explicitly, "Mother, don't worry, it's a serious business anyway." You haven't eaten yet, the boy bought honey ham and a roast duck, you can eat some first. I'm going to go into business. ”

His old lady was a little relieved, but then she became excited, in this way, where can she eat? Holding the big silver ingot, she still wrapped it in the handkerchief just now, and said happily: "I'll go to your fourth uncle's aunt." ”

Zhu Yanjiu hurriedly asked, "Mother, what are you looking for the fourth aunt?"

His wife said: "You are earning money now, let your four aunts help talk about the daughter-in-law." As she spoke, she walked out, she was blind, but she was in good spirits on happy occasions, and she walked fast with a cane.

Zhu Yanjiu hurriedly reminded: "Mother, you go slowly, don't touch it." ”

Zhilu said. His wife agreed, and walked faster.

Zhu Yanjiu saw his wife go out, so he had to put the honey ham on the table and wait for his wife to come back and eat it by himself. Cover it with a frame so that it doesn't get touched by rats or something. I tore some meat from the roast duck and ate it, washed my hands, and straightened my clothes, and then went out.

He went out and went all the way to the big ring in the West City. There are a total of six rings in the capital, and he and Huang Xiaoqiao have already been divided, each of them has three places, and no one should go to the other's place.

met a few acquaintances along the way, and Zhu Yanjiu greeted each other indifferently.

When approaching the West Market, I walked into an alley and took out a hat. Wearing it on his head, he covered his face, and then walked towards the big ring in the West Market.

When he arrived at the ring, he took out a gold creation medicine, held it in his hand, and drilled directly into the martial arts group, asking people as he walked: "Do you want to buy medicine? Do you want to buy medicine? Instant healing. ”

He hasn't been to the big ring in the West City yet. But the effect of that golden medicine is really amazing, just yesterday, it has been spread from the mouths of all martial artists.

The martial artist in this West City didn't see anyone selling medicine, and he was anxious. See him come in. Hear the words 'Jinchuang Medicine'. Immediately brushed it and surrounded it.

One of the martial artists asked, "You are a golden medicine, but that is a golden medicine?" Is that you?"

"It's me. Zhu Yanjiu smiled and agreed. In fact, it was Huang Xiaoqiao who sold medicine in Nanshi yesterday.

When all the martial artists heard this, another martial artist asked, "How many taels of silver?"

Zhu Yanjiu said: "Twenty taels." ”

"It's so expensive!" a martial artist smacked his tongue, "How did you sell seventeen taels yesterday?"

Zhu Yanjiu said with a smile: "There are not many medicines, if you don't buy them, you will have to increase the price when you turn around." ”

A martial artist gritted his teeth, "Get me one." ”

Zhu Yanjiu said: "Pay the money with one hand and deliver the goods with the other." ”

The martial artist took out a handful of loose silver and gave it to him, "Exactly twenty taels." ”

Zhu Yanjiu nodded, took the scattered silver, checked the fineness first, and then took out another one, weighed it, it was almost the same, and handed over the golden medicine in his hand to the martial artist.

The martial artist took the golden medicine, looked up and down several times, couldn't tell whether it was true or false, and asked, "Your golden medicine can't be fake, right?"

Zhu Yanjiu said with certainty: "Of course not." ”

The martial artist said again, "Twenty taels of silver, if it's fake, I can't spare you." ”

Zhu Yanjiu didn't care at all, "Is it true or not, won't you know the Tao if you try it?"

The martial artist looked at the golden medicine in his hand again, but he was reluctant to try it. The other martial artists were all watching, obviously worried about the fake, and no second person said anything about buying it for a while.

Seeing this, Zhu Yanjiu took out the dagger from his body and stabbed it lightly on his fingertips, causing blood to overflow and puncture a small wound. Then he took out a golden medicine, scraped some powder from the pill, and applied it to the wound.

All the martial artists stared at his movements, the wound was too small, and the speed of healing was faster, and it didn't take long for it to heal after applying gold sore medicine.

"Everyone, please see. Zhu Yanjiu raised his finger and showed it to the martial artists, and there was not even a trace of scar left on his finger.

When all the martial artists saw this, they all believed it, rushed forward, and said loudly: "Get me one, get me one." ”

Zhu Yanjiu smiled: "Don't worry, come one by one." Then he held up the used gold creation medicine, "This gold creation medicine only uses a small amount, only nineteen taels, which one will buy it?"

"Give me, give me. When a fat martial artist heard about nineteen taels, he was immediately moved and hurriedly spoke.

Zhu Yanjiu said: "Pay the money with one hand and deliver the goods with the other." ”

The fat martial artist hurriedly took out a large handful of broken silver, and he didn't know how many Lu Dao there were, Zhu Yanjiu checked the quality, weighed it with a waiter, and received him nineteen taels.

"Bring me one, it's twenty taels of silver. ”

"Get me one, give me one. All the martial artists rushed forward.

Zhu Yanjiu was not in a hurry at all, trading one by one.

There were a few Taoist priests sitting in the ring, condescending, and they saw a group of martial artists from a distance surrounding a person wearing a hat, and they didn't know what happened to Lu Dao, and they were very surprised. Several Taoist priests discussed it, but they couldn't come up with a reason, and the Taoist priest who was the leader of the ring beckoned to the man in charge of the ring, and the man in charge hurriedly walked over and asked respectfully: "Immortal Chief, what do you have to say?"

The Taoist priest stretched out his hand and pointed to the crowd, "Go over and ask, see what happened?"

"Yes. The man in charge answered, and with a few soldiers, he squeezed into the crowd, squeezed to the periphery, walked to the outside circle, grabbed a martial artist and asked, "What happened?"

The martial artist glanced at him, recognized it, and hurriedly replied respectfully: "Lord Hui, there is a person who sells a very useful golden medicine, after being injured, he can be healed immediately by applying it to the wound, so everyone is buying medicine. ”

The man in charge let out an 'oh', thought for a while, glanced at the crowd again, and instructed the soldiers beside him, "Take him to see the immortal chief." ”

"Let's let! Break through the crowd and squeeze in.

Several martial artists were pushed away, Ben was a little annoyed, and when he turned his head to see that it was the man in charge of the ring, he was startled, and no one dared to say more.

The soldiers squeezed in and grabbed Zhu Yanjiu, "Follow me to see the immortal chief." ”

Zhu Yanjiu was taken aback, and hurriedly shouted: "Hey, I didn't break the law, why should I be arrested?"

The man in charge sneered, "Don't yell at it. Follow me to see the immortal. Screaming here again. Believe it or not, I seriously notified the yamen to arrest you and sue you for disturbing the order of the ring?"

Zhu Yanjiu was startled, and suddenly didn't dare to say more. The man in charge took it, and several soldiers grabbed Zhu Yanjiu. Walk towards the raised platform behind the ring.

The man in charge walked ahead. Walked quickly to a Taoist priest in the center. Said respectfully: "Immortal Chief, is that the case......"

Then he told me what he had inquired about.

The Taoist priest said strangely: "What else is going on?" turned his face and looked at Zhu Yanjiu.

The man in charge hurriedly rebuked. "I've seen the immortal chief yet!"

The two soldiers pushed Zhu Yanjiu, and then shouted: "I've seen the immortal!"

Zhu Yanjiu was startled when he saw this kind of grandeur, and involuntarily knelt on the ground and kowtowed, "The villain kowtows to the immortal." Finally, he got used to sting in the market, and he was a little quick, and when he saw that the situation was not good, he didn't say his name.

The man in charge shouted, "In front of the immortal chief, you dare to take the hat and take it off for me." ”

Zhu Yanjiu was very reluctant, a big-headed soldier walked up, lifted his hat, and showed his face, Zhu Yanjiu hurriedly bowed his head.

The Taoist priest at the head ordered: "Search his body to see what kind of medicine it is." ”

"Spare your life, Immortal Chief. Zhu Yanjiu hurriedly begged for mercy.

The Taoist priest sneered and ignored him. The two soldiers walked up, held down Zhu Yanjiu, and went to search his body. After a while, he searched for twenty or thirty pieces of medicine and hundreds of taels of silver.

Fortunately, Zhu Yanjiu has experienced a lot of things in the world, and he is quite cautious in doing things, only a small part of the medicine is brought, and the rest is stuffed in the rat hole at home. I only brought a little bit of silver, and most of it was obtained from the drugs that had just been sold.

When those Taoist priests saw hundreds of taels of silver, their eyes were a little strange. Their master, Lanling Daoren, was named a national teacher, and he was naturally honored. The shade is on the apprentices, there are too many apprentices, everyone has a share, and everyone has not much left. When I saw hundreds of taels of silver at once, I couldn't help but blush.

The Taoist priest at the head turned his gaze, saw the twenty or thirty gold creation pills, and asked again: "These medicines, are they the gold creation pills he sold?

The strong man said: "It is said to be very useful, and a martial artist told the villain that after applying it, the injury will heal quickly." ”

The Taoist priest let out an 'oh' and said, "Bring it forward and let me see it." ”

Zhu Yanjiu couldn't help but mourn and said, "Immortal Chief, that's the villain's family money." ”

The Taoist priest didn't pay attention, and a big-headed soldier took the golden medicine and handed it to the strong man, who held it, stepped forward, and respectfully handed it to the Taoist priest.

The Taoist priest took it, put the golden medicine on the table beside him, picked up one of them, looked up and down a few times, put it to his nose and sniffed it, and said to several Taoist priests around him: "Junior brothers, what do you think?"

The rest of the Taoist priests each picked up one and observed it for a moment, and one of the Taoist priests said, "I can't see any miracle effect, but it's so godly, you can find someone to try it." ”

The Taoist priest nodded and looked at the strong man, "I want to see how effective this medicine is, which one of you will try?"

The strong man hesitated for a while when he heard this, and quickly turned his gaze to one of the soldiers, "Xiao Chen, you come and try." ”

This is Jinchuang Medicine, the test medicine must be an opening in the body now, where is the little soldier willing, he hurriedly pointed to Zhu Yanjiu, "Lord Supervisor, the medicine is sold by him, when it comes to medicinal properties, no one must be as familiar with him as he is, it is best to ...... It's better to try it on him. ”

The strong man turned to the Taoist priest, "Immortal Chief, this person is the most common medicine, it's best to let him try it." ”

The Taoist priest didn't care who tried the medicine, nodded at the moment, and ordered, "You guys will do it." ”

Zhu Yanjiu realized that it was not good, and shouted again: "Immortal Chief, spare your life." ”

The strong man shouted loudly, "It's just a medicine, and it's not to kill you, what's it called?" Two soldiers walked up and held Zhu Yanjiu, and one soldier pulled out his waist knife and walked towards Zhu Yanjiu.

Zhu Yanjiu was startled and shouted urgently: "Stop, stop, don't bother the adults, the villains will come by themselves." ”

The strong man smiled and said, "If you are willing to come by yourself, then it is best." ”

The soldiers immediately let go of him, but they didn't go away, staring at Zhu Yanjiu, beware of any bad behavior from him.

Zhu Yanjiu had no choice but to retrieve his dagger, stabbed a small wound on his finger, and planned to apply medicine.

"It's too small to see the effect, stab it deeper, don't hurt your fingers, it's better to make a cut on your arm. The Taoist priest at the head saw it and commanded lightly.

The strong man shouted loudly, "Didn't you hear the Immortal Chief's orders?"

Zhu Yanjiu had no choice but to roll up his sleeves and cut a wound more than an inch long on his arm with a dagger, blood flowed out and stained the cuffs, which soon dyed red.

The Taoist priest picked up a piece of medicine and threw it to the ground, "Put the medicine on and I'll see the effect." ”

Zhu Yanjiu leaned over to pick up the medicine, crushed it with his fingers and sprinkled it on the wound. This is a prescription taught by Xu Mo himself, it is really miraculous, as soon as it is sprinkled, the bleeding will stop.

When those Taoist priests saw this miracle with their own eyes, they couldn't help but sigh softly, and glanced at each other, their expressions of surprise beyond words.

Once the bleeding stopped, the wound began to heal. The strong man couldn't help but walk in to watch, and when he saw that the wound was healing at a speed visible to the naked eye, he was even more surprised, and said loudly: "Quick! Raise your hand and let the immortal chief take a look." ”

Zhu Yanjiu raised his hand as he said, and several Taoist priests on the seat were even more surprised when they saw it, and the Taoist priest led by him couldn't help but stand up and praised loudly, "Miracle medicine, it's really a miracle medicine." (To be continued......)
