Taipingchun

Chapter 4 Uncle

After entering the Wengcheng, the guards inspected the yellow book, and after confirming that it was correct, the three of them entered the city gate.

Huating County is the administrative seat of Songjiang Prefecture, that is to say, there are not only county magistrates but also magistrates' yamen here. It is naturally extremely prosperous. After entering the city, the city is not as noisy as outside the city. It is more peaceful, and there are only The shops along the street are still full of pedestrians.

Xu Hui said at this time: "Why do you enter the city?"

Xu Xiu said without thinking: "Buy new year's goods."

Xu Hui pointed to the outside of the city, the meaning is self-evident, if it is just to buy new year's goods, there are more and cheaper things in the market outside the city, Xu Xiu's head is very smart and she immediately understood it, in order to cover up the embarrassment, he said: "Buy books " After finishing speaking, he looked at Xu Hui, as long as there was a mocking look on his face, he would immediately prepare a heart-warming punch to serve him.

Fortunately, Xu Hui simply nodded and continued to lead the way. As for what was in his heart, outsiders could not know it.

Xu Xiu and Xiao Yang's attention was quickly attracted by the shops on both sides, and they were even more shocked by his demeanor when they passed by the scholar's mansion, the doorway was full of people.

The doors of the surrounding shops were all wide open, almost just a few pillars, with only two walls, or even no walls at all. Seeing this, Xu Xiu was a little puzzled and didn't know what was going on.

There are all kinds of shops along the street. When he saw the dumping shop, he thought about it for a long time. How could there be such a saying as dumping in this era, but he remembered it after seeing a stove inside. He couldn't help laughing at himself. In ancient times, dumping meant melting silver. Inertial thinking is undesirable.

Not too far away, I arrived at the bookstore. The ancient bookstores all had an extremely uniform name, and all the places in the country were called the same name. Modern people may think it is a chain, but it is not the case. They are just called Jixiantang, or it may be something Jixian Bookstore and the like, the first two characters are almost unchanged.

Seeing Xu Hui coming out of the store, the waiter in the store said, "Oh, handsome young master, what kind of books do you want to buy?"

Seeing that he was silent, the waiter continued: "Four Books and Five Classics, Anthology of Zhu Zi, Collections of Anthology and Poems of Celebrities from Ancient and Modern Times, Talking Books of Contemporary People's Tales of Fox Talking about Monsters, Miscellaneous Living Notes, you can find everything you need."

Xu Hui pointed to Xu Xiu, indicating that he was the one who bought it, and stood aside with his hands down.

Xu Xiu walked over and had been thinking about the problem of not having walls. Just as she was about to understand, she saw a series of sales promotions by the waiter, so she had to say: "I want Shiwen anthology, how much is it?" Looking at the pillars of this bookstore, I can understand. The roof is supported by pillars, and it doesn't matter whether you want a wall or not. There is no difference between a pavilion and a house.

The walls of these stores were demolished, and they were surrounded by wooden boards at night. He couldn't help laughing at himself again. Many things have been written in books and he understands them all, but when it comes to reality, these problems still can't be turned around in his head.

The waiter may think that they are unlikely to buy Shiwen anthology, so he didn’t mention it before. After all, this age counts as reading, and many of them haven’t touched Shiwen, so he said: “Hey, of course there are. The anthology, Qian Wang and the two masters all have it. Not too many, not too many, each of these works gets one tael of silver."

The corner of Xu Xiu's mouth twitched, one or two, how could he afford it, so he kept his mouth shut and said, "Sorry, I offended you, I can't afford it."

The waiter was still very polite, seeing that although he couldn't afford it, he had a good temperament and appearance, he smiled and said: "It's okay, it's okay, the young master will also be named on the gold list in the future."

Xu Hui pulled the waiter for a while, picked up the thickest Jinshi anthology of Li Ke, took out loose silver from his arms and handed it to the waiter for weighing, then turned his head and said to Xu Xiu: "I promise you to copy it every day."

Xu Xiu rubbed his nose, feeling very grateful in his heart, and said seriously: "Thank you, brother." Now he urgently needs to read contemporary literature to improve the predicament of being deviant at every turn. I thought about it, Xu Hui's arrangement is also very good, and it is also good to practice calligraphy to deepen memory.

Xu Hui waved the three volumes of anthology in his hand and handed them to Xu Xiudao: "Mr. Visit, I'm not coming back today." He turned around and walked away without any muddling.Xiao Mao snorted, as if mocking.

Xu Xiu pursed her lips and watched Xu Hui go away, and said to Xiao Yang, "This guy is not bad, right? Although he has a lot of problems."

The lamb's head was smashed like garlic, "Master Hui is very good. When you were crazy, Ah Niu, Master Hui didn't dislike you."

Xu Xiu flicked her face, "Otherwise, my young master wouldn't be friends with him."

The two of them didn't have a lot of money, only more than 100 copper coins in total. Since they were exchanged with treasure banknotes, although they were exchanged at the same time, the current market price is that the 400 copper coins of the consistent treasure banknotes are less than five silver coins, which is really sad.This precious banknote that was exchanged for more than 100 Wen copper coins was saved by Xiao Yang after a long time.

The two were walking in the city, wandering here and there, and Xu Xiu also saw a bald foreigner doing acrobatics. It was really novel, and he couldn't help but get closer to watch carefully. After the performance, the man said in broken Mandarin The treasure land is like this, just asking for a reward.

This kind of scene is common to Ming people, and they don't pay much attention to these foreigners, but the vanity of the people of Shang Kingdom is still overflowing. Not surprisingly, this person's reward is obviously higher than that of the monkey next door. many.

Seeing that his young master was about to put his hand into his bosom, Xiao Yang pulled him past and left... Xu Xiu glared at him, but Xiao Yang opened his eyes even wider, and said helplessly: "Okay, your eyes are big, I don't want Comparing with you."

After walking for a while, it was Xiao Yang's turn that something was wrong, and he said to Xu Xiu awkwardly: "A Niu, should we buy a bunch of candied haws? The old man over there only has one bunch."

Xu Xiu hummed lightly, then approached, touched a copper plate and handed it to the old man.

"Brother, take it well." The old man smiled.

Just as he was about to reach for the candied haws, he saw a middle-aged man with disheveled hair take the bunches of candied haws away, and said loudly, "Aren't you afraid of damaging your teeth if you eat sweets? And you're such a prodigal, do your parents know? "In a blink of an eye, I swallowed a mouthful of hawthorn, maybe I was a little anxious to eat while walking, and my eyes showed signs of turning white.

Xu Xiu stared blankly at the hawthorn core on the ground, feeling so angry that her stomach was about to hurt, she couldn't help jumping up to it.

Shouted: "Aren't you ashamed to grab food with children, old man?"

Xiao Yang led Xiao Mao and followed closely. People on the street looked at A Niu and pointed, which made him a little embarrassed.

The uncle with disheveled hair stopped running, turned around and patted Xu Xiu on the head when he came close, "Little Chi, who are you calling an old man, it's so rude."

Xu Xiu, who was in a good mood all day except when writing Shiwen, was in a good mood. She was even angrier now. She beat me for stealing food from the children. My father had never hit me before, so he couldn't help but beat me hard. Step on his fingerless foot.

After seeing him, he said, "Bastard, is there someone like you?"

The uncle who was stepped on couldn't help laughing, and said: "Is your doll quite interesting?"

Xu Xiu, whose face was blushing, couldn't help pointing at him and said, "You old man, are you just making fun of me?"

The uncle simply sat cross-legged on the ground, digging his nose, and said, "Huh? Can't you do that, what's wrong with you, a kid from a rich family who takes his servants and a donkey outside like you?"

At this time, Xu Xiu saw that he didn't look like a psychopath, so she calmed down. She saw that although his hair was disheveled, he was quite clean, his bare feet were not dirty, and the white robe on his body was mended, and it was also clean. A handsome middle-aged man.

He didn't bother to refute, and said sarcastically, "You're a white man, it's my business that I have money, it's none of your business." It seems like a middle-aged angry youth who hates the rich.

The so-called Bai Ding can be said to be ordinary people, but in ancient times it refers to poor literati more, because although they wear Confucian clothes, it is more accurate to say that white cannot dye cloth. Very popular.

The uncle sarcastically returned with an even more disgusted expression, "Oh, you doll has such a temper, it's your luck that I eat your bunch of candied haws."

Still lucky?

Xu Xiu admitted that he was irritated by this guy, and couldn't help but pounce on him, tearing and beating him, "I will make you angry with me, and I will make you have fun, bastard, rascal."

Such a child's attack is of course not powerful, it doesn't hurt or itch, the uncle let him abuse, with a smile on his face, and his mouth is flat, "Ah, it hurts, you will go to jail if you kill someone, aren't you afraid? It hurts your parents."

Xu Xiu's head buzzed, recalling that he had never met his parents in the two lifetimes, his emotions became more and more aggrieved, and he couldn't help but yelled with a crying sound: "I don't have any parents. What kind of mentality, bastard." He took a bite.

This time the bite really hurt, but the uncle's back felt chills, and he couldn't help regretting, "Teasing the wrong person, this is a crime."

Xu Xiu, who was biting more and more wronged, let go of him, weeping loudly, sobbing and choking, the lamb heard in the distance was so angry that he rushed over and pulled the uncle and shouted: "My young master's parents were killed, How can you be so cruel if you only depend on me for life."

Thinking of Ah Niu's crazy state before, he was panicked and worried, and she shed tears and wailed loudly.

As if wanting to vent her lonely fate, Xu Xiu cried louder and louder, Xiao Yang was not to be outdone, and now there were more people watching around.

The uncle jumped up and paced on the spot, muttering constantly: "It's over, it's over, it's over, I have committed such a crime. What should I do?"

He hurriedly comforted him: "It's all my fault, it's all my fault, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I will apologize to the two young masters."

Xu Xiu looked at him with red eyes, grinned, and spat in the uncle's face, "Bah." She rolled her eyes and forced herself to get rid of such pessimistic emotions, and passed out.

"A cow!"
