Unparalleled Concubine

Jiuniang smiled slightly: "It just so happens that my sister has a few pieces of animal charcoal here. Since the little brother has this craftsmanship, you might as well take a look. If you can make a rough one, Deyilou will follow the price offered by the little brother." , Buy it from the little brother for one hundred yuan."

Li Xin took a few deep breaths, reached out and took this piece of animal charcoal in his hand. This piece of animal charcoal was simple in shape, cold in body, slightly heavy in the hand, and exuded a faint fragrance, no matter in appearance or craftsmanship, They are much better than those made by Li Xin.

What's even more amazing is that although this thing is made of a mixture of toner powder and face powder, Li Xin picked it up and played with it, and there was no trace of black on his hands.

This is the animal charcoal that can only be used by the rich and the rich, the price is similar to gold and silver in the capital.

A piece of animal charcoal can burn for three days and three nights.

Jiuniang has a box of these things here, which is not surprising. After all, Deyilou is located in the capital, and noble people will come here from time to time. This box of animal charcoal is about 20 yuan. It is estimated that Jiuniang did it for the capital. Prepared by the distinguished guests here.

Li Xin looked at this thing carefully, probably remembered its appearance, stood up and bowed to the beautiful woman in front of him: "Sister, I have already written down the appearance of this thing, and I should be able to make an inseparable one later." , and when you get it out, come to the Deyi Building and ask to see your sister."

After that, he put the animal charcoal in his hand back on the table.

This piece of animal charcoal was enough for ordinary people to eat for a month. Li Xin consciously put it back, otherwise he might not even have the chance to walk out of the Deyi Building.

Jiuniang saw Li Xin's actions, and then she reached out to pick up the animal charcoal on the table, put it in Li Xin's hand, and said with a smile: "Since you want to make some imitations, Mr. The more resemblance the better, this piece of charcoal is not a rare thing, it’s okay for the little brother to take it back and use it.”

Li Xin bowed his head in thanks, and he was not polite, and stuffed the piece of animal charcoal into his sleeve.

Before leaving, Jiuniang bought all the "beast charcoal" in Li Xin's back basket, and the total amount was about [-] yuan. Li Xin took the bunch of copper coins carefully, and cupped his hands to Jiuniang: "Say After talking for a long time, I haven't had time to ask my sister's name."

The beautiful woman smiled sweetly: "My concubine's surname is Cui, and Mr. Xiaolang is called my concubine Jiuniang. I don't know what your name is for Mr. Xiaolang?"

"I'm Li Xin."

Li Xin bowed slightly to Jiuniang: "Thank Jiuniang for enjoying the meal."

When Jiuniang heard this, the smile on her face became even bigger, and she got up and sent Li Xin to the gate of Deyi Building.

After Li Xin walked away, the thin girl following behind Jiuniang whispered, "Jiuniang, you are too kind to this Li Xin."

In fact, although Li Xin's idea is good, it is worthless to say it, because Jiuniang University can skip Li Xin's link and let the wood carving craftsmen in the capital do it directly, which can be cheaper.

But Jiuniang didn't do this, which meant that she was willing to give Li Xin this meal. Li Xin also thought of this, so before parting, he said the words of thanks.

Jiuniang turned around lightly, and smiled indifferently at the maid behind her: "Ping'er, you have to understand one thing, we never opened this proud building for the owner to make money."

"It's about making friends."

Chapter 6 Horse Disaster

After earning his first pot of gold, Li Xin began to look for places to sell cotton-padded clothes in the capital.

In this era, there were cotton-padded clothes. When he first entered the capital, he saw pedestrians wearing cotton-padded clothes everywhere on Desheng Street, and occasionally there were some wealthy families wearing leather goods. It can be seen that it was similar to Li Xin's world.

After waking up from the coma, he knew that he had come to a completely different world.

First of all, the dynasty he is currently in is called Jin. Although Li Xin is not particularly proficient in history, he finally knows a little bit. There are several Jins in Chinese history, such as the Jin Kingdom in the Spring and Autumn Period, and Sima Jin who usurped the Cao family. .

And according to the memories of that unlucky child, the state of Jin in this world is not Sima, but Ji. Although the state of Jin in the Spring and Autumn Period was also Ji, Li Xin can be sure that this world is by no means Spring and Autumn.

Because he saw the paper.

A lot of paper, even the piece of animal charcoal that Deyilou Jiuniang handed him was wrapped in a piece of rough paper.

Therefore, this is a completely different world from his previous life. Li Xin has no way to obtain the ability of foresight. If this world still uses Chinese characters, speaks Chinese, and has the Qinhuai River, he will even doubt whether he is still on the earth.

With a sweet mouth, Li Xin asked for directions all the way, and successfully found a cotton goods store, bought a pair of cotton shoes and a slightly thicker quilt, because of the cold weather, the cotton goods store The price was much higher than in previous years. These few things cost seven or eight hundred dollars in total, so the regular money I just earned was also spent seven or eight hundred dollars. At this time, it was already afternoon.

After spending a few pennies and eating a bowl of noodles on the side of the road, Li Xin was about to go out of the city and return to Beishan. Just as he was walking on Desheng Street, a rough voice shouted at him: "Boy, let open!"

Li Xin looked back and saw a group of more than a dozen people riding on tall horses, galloping wantonly on Desheng Street. The one who shouted at him just now was a bearded man who was making way for the horses behind him. Li Xin Before he could react in time, he was dragged to the side of the road by a pedestrian beside him, and then these extremely fast horses galloped past Li Xin's body. At this time, Li Xin was carrying a blanket and a pair of Cotton shoes, although he was fine, but when he turned around, the things he was carrying on his back were knocked away by the big maroon horse, and the bedding and cotton shoes were scattered all over the floor.

Those riding horses were all boys and girls. The one on the bay red horse was a young man, obviously not good at equestrianism. After bumping into Li Xin, his own bay red horse stopped in shock.

Although Li Xin's body was not hit, he was also affected by the impact, and fell to the ground. After a long time, he barely got up from the ground.

At this time, the young people on the horses also jumped off one by one. Each of these people was either wearing silk or fur. Obviously, they were either rich or noble. They gathered around the bay red horse and asked aloud: "Young Master Ye, are you not hurt?"

Li Xin fell to the ground with some scratches on several joints of his body. After gritting his teeth for a long time, the pain gradually eased. He looked up at the young man who hit him, and saw the young man riding a red Mr. Ye of the horse has a fair complexion. Although he is wearing tight-fitting men's clothing, he does not have an Adam's apple. It is almost recognizable at a glance that he is a woman disguised as a man.

This Mr. Ye, who was disguised as a man, obviously didn't ride horses very much on weekdays. At this time, he was shocked, patted his chest, and forced a smile at the young people around him: "Everyone, I have nothing to do, I'm just afraid of delays. Hunting, riding a little faster, seems to have bumped into a person."

Hearing her words, everyone turned their attention to Li Xin. Li Xin was dressed in shabby clothes. At this time, he was hit and fell to the ground. His clothes were disheveled, and there was some blood on his face It looked extremely embarrassing.

Among the group of young people, one who seemed to be the oldest looked at Li Xin, then turned his head to smile at Ye Gongzi and said, "I can still get up, I guess I didn't touch him, and His Majesty will be hunting in Beishan in a few days. To test our generals, you all go to Beishan to familiarize yourself with the terrain first, don't delay the hunting, brother Yu will clean up here."

This man was obviously quite prestigious in their circle. Hearing this, these young people who were either rich or noble, immediately got on their horses and galloped in the direction of Beishan outside the city.

After the group of people had left, the young man in white walked up to Li Xin, took out a grain of gold from his waist, and handed it to Li Xin, smiling: "Little brother, Just now my friend was riding too fast and bumped into you by accident. I saw that you were carrying some things on your body, and they were all smashed apart. This gold can be exchanged for four or five pennies in the bank in the city. You take it Go, pay for your things, and heal the little brother by the way."

At this time, Li Xin's arm was worn out, and his whole right hand was in a state of paralysis. After a while, his right hand could barely move. After he could move, he first touched his arms, and when he touched Jiu Niang After the piece of animal charcoal given to him was still there, Li Xin was slightly relieved.

This piece of animal charcoal will be returned to Deyilou in the future. If it is damaged, Li Xin may not be able to afford to make fake goods for Deyilou for a year.

After confirming that the charcoal was still there, Li Xin raised his head and looked at the young man in white in front of him. This young man in white looked to be about 20 years old. He was extremely young. He was wearing a pure white fur coat that looked like fox fur. Not only personable, but also quite temperament.

Although he spoke very politely, his tone was slightly contemptuous, but rich and noble children usually speak like this, and Li Xin is not surprised, and at this time, he did not have the capital to fight against these "second-generation officials", so he stretched out Shot, took the gold from the young man in white, and lowered his head slightly: "Thank you, young master."

Bow your head when you can. After all, he just came to this world and he still has to live in the capital.

Seeing that this young man was very knowledgeable, the young man in white showed a satisfied smile on his face: "Little brother, go and treat the wound. If the money is not enough, little brother can come to Pingnan Hou Mansion to find me. I am the son of Pingnan Hou Mansion." Li Chun, little brother, just report my name at the gate of the waiting mansion."

Pingnan Hou Mansion... Li Chun.

Li Xin trembled slightly.

He took over the memory of that unlucky child in its entirety. According to his mother, his identity should be the son of Pingnan Hou Li Shen, but his scumbag father was unreliable and left him and his mother in Yongzhou. Regardless.

Thinking of this, Li Xin raised his head and glanced at Li Chun.

In other words, the guy with the upturned nostrils in front of him should be his... elder brother?

Li Xinxin suddenly felt an unreasonable anger.

He took two steps forward, walked up to Li Chun, handed back the grain of gold, and said in a low voice, "It turns out that he is the son of Marquis Pingnan, who is well-known as Marquis Pingnan, and Xiaomin has always been like a thunderbolt. , there was no injury on his body, since he is the son of the Pingnan Hou Mansion, the little people dare not accept the money."

When Li Xin said this, he lowered his head, so no one saw his cold eyes.

That day, when Li Xin went to the Pingnan Marquis Mansion, Li Chun, the son of the Li family, was not at home, so he didn't recognize the young man in front of him.

A playful smile appeared on Li Chun's face. He stretched out his hand to pinch the gold back, and smiled calmly: "Since you haven't suffered any injuries, then the money is fine. I have to go out of the city, so I will leave first."

No one would put money aside. In Li Chun's eyes, the poor young man in front of him just wanted more. Li Chun, who thought he had seen through everything, turned around casually, got on his horse, and galloped towards the east gate. and go.

Li Xin endured the pain in his body, bent over to pick up the quilt and the pair of cotton shoes that he had been knocked into the air, wiped the mud stained on them with his sleeves, put them on his back again, and limped towards Beishan to the cabin.
