Time Traveling: I Engaged in City Defense in Ancient Times

All the things he bought were put in the back basket and Ji Cheng carried them on his back. Just now, he wanted to buy a small wooden carving on the street as a gift for Brother Lin, but he refused to let him. He spent so much money buying books at one time. don't blink.

"You spent so much money buying books, don't you feel sorry for Xiao Linzi?" Ji Cheng asked.

"My heart hurts," said Lin Ge'er, biting the little tiger's teeth.

"You pay so happily, but you don't show any distress."

"My heart hurts, how can I not feel distressed, the money at home was bought by you with your life," Lin Geer looked at him with burning eyes, "but these are the money that must be spent if you want to take the imperial examination, think about how the imperial examination is What Brother Cheng wants to do doesn't hurt so much."

Ji Cheng said: "Does that mean you don't feel sorry for the money spent on me?" This child is sensible and heartwarming.

They stood on the main street, the sun was spreading softly on his body like scattered gold powder, the young man smiled brightly on his face, and he said: "Yes, I gave all the good things to Brother Cheng, I don't even feel bad."

In addition to spending money for Ji Cheng, this young man really sticks to the word of saving money to the end, and Ji Cheng wants to buy him shoes.

Lin Geer: No

Buy pine nuts?He said there are still at home.

Eating two bowls of noodles on the street?Lin Geer shook his little head vigorously.

Ji Cheng felt a little helpless, he rubbed Brother Lin's head and said, "It's my first time in the city, I have to buy you something, I can't come in vain."

buy what?As long as he can take a look, Lin Geer continued to shake his head.Ji Cheng ignored his opinion and dragged him into a jewelry shop called "Butterfly Makeup Pavilion".

This is a shop that mainly sells jewelry and rouge, and the customers in the shop are mostly women and men. Like Lin Geer, there are no men who come to the jewelry store with him.

They were stared at from the moment they entered the store. Although they were dressed poorly, the other women and brothers basically cast envious glances.

Brother Lin felt uncomfortable being stared at, he tugged on Ji Cheng's sleeve and said, "Brother Cheng, let's go back, there are so many people here."

"It's okay, let's buy two if we don't buy too much," Ji Cheng discussed, "Is it okay to just have two, and you can't refuse to pay when you pay later."

The other people in the store were even more envious after hearing this. None of them secretly saved money from their own houses, and they were afraid that their mother-in-law would stare at them, and the men at home would not be able to accompany them.

This is rare to see, listen!When a man buys things for his husband, he has to discuss it in a gentle voice. This brother doesn't look like a son of a wealthy family. The man is also tall and handsome, so he can't be the door.

It seems that the family's financial power is still in the hands of the elder brother, and they really want to ask the elder brother what kind of mastery is it that makes a man treat them so well.

"Can't it be the same?" Brother Lin's ears were so red that he was about to bleed. Seeing the man shaking his head firmly, he could only resign himself to his fate and said, "Then...you can't buy too expensive ones."

"What do the two guest officers want to choose?" Xiaoer greeted enthusiastically, seeing that they were usually well dressed and didn't have any intention of disgusting them.

"I want to see the hairpin," Lin Ge'er's head was tied with thick cloth strips, his only hairpin was stained with blood more than once, Ji Cheng had long wanted to buy him a better hairpin.

"The guest officer's hairpin has gold, silver and jade, I don't know what kind of guest officer wants to see," Xiaoer said.

"Iron...iron is fine," Lin Ge'er whispered.

"Don't listen to him," Ji Cheng hugged Brother Lin's hand, squeezed it slightly, and said, "It doesn't matter what the material is, as long as the style looks good."

Those who have been doing business all year round have a pair of good eyes. Seeing that this man loves his husband very much, but he doesn't look like he has a lot of money, he took out a few styles that are quite expensive but not expensive.

The gold, silver and Ji Cheng put it on Brother Lin's hair and tried it, but they were not very satisfied. The last few jade ones were acceptable, but the material was too poor. He said: "Xiao Er, this jade one Are there any better ones?"

"Also, it's just that the price is a little more expensive, probably more than two taels of silver," said the little girl honestly.

"Okay," Ji Cheng tightened Lin Ge'er's hand, signaling him not to stop him.

At this moment, the jade hairpin on the tray was much better than before. Ji Cheng immediately took a fancy to a jade hairpin that was very similar to Lin Geer's original iron hairpin. He picked it up and looked at it for a moment: "This hairpin What's the bird's head on it?"

As soon as the voice fell, the older girls and younger daughters-in-law next to each other covered their mouths and laughed. Ji Cheng looked at Brother Lin speechlessly and said, "Am I asking the wrong question? Isn't this the bird's head?" In fact, he wanted to say it was a chicken. But the chicken head is too ugly.

"Guest officer, you are joking. This is the divine bird Qingluan, which brings happiness to people and symbolizes loyalty." This hairpin can be sold for a lot of monthly money, and the little second mouth sweetly said: "A person like you For young couples, wearing such a headgear is the most appropriate."

Although the texture of this jade hairpin is not high-grade, it is also delicate and moist in color. Ji Cheng took the jade hairpin and inserted it on the top of Lin Ge'er's head. Although the boy is young, he has a good appearance.

This jade hairpin took advantage of Lin Ge'er's already clear and beautiful face, adding a touch of nobility. With this jade hairpin on his head, it seemed that he was not the brother who lived with him in the broken tile house, but the rich and noble family. The pampered young master.

"That's it," Ji Cheng said with satisfaction, "How much is Xiaoer's jade hairpin?"

"Guest officer, good eyesight, this hairpin is the best one on sale in this store, five taels of silver and 850 Wen," Xiao Er smiled, his teeth missing, "give me a spare change of five taels of silver and eight hundred Wen, you See how."

Brother Lin heard the price and was about to pull Ji Cheng out of the store, but the person being pulled didn't move a muscle, he said, "Will you sell it for four or two or five hundred Wen?"

Xiao Er was not annoyed when he saw him bargaining, and still had a good attitude, "Guest officer, this price really can't be paid, why don't you look at other prices that are lower."

"It's okay." When Ji Cheng entered the city last time, he saw many young brothers wearing hairbands of various colors on their heads. At that time, he thought that his brother Lin must look better than them. too much.

"How much is this headband?" He pointed to a bright red headband with golden peanuts on it and asked.

"This hairband is the most popular in the city right now. Many members of my wife's family wear this style, and the price is reasonable, only five hundred yuan." The price has changed from five taels to five hundred yuan. My heart hurts a bit, how much money will be lost.

Hearing Brother Wubaiwen Lin let out a long sigh of relief, he was almost scared to death about the sky-high price of five taels of hairpin that Ji Cheng wanted to buy just now.

"The gold scorpion on this hair band is a thin layer of gold. There are four or five in total, but it is not affordable to sell for five hundred cash," Ji Cheng said again: "This kind of hair band is still calculated at five hundred cash, plus the jade hairpin. How about I give you five taels of silver in total."

Seeing that there was still a turning point in the business, Xiaoer finally couldn't hold back his face, and turned to look at the shopkeeper eagerly. After getting the shopkeeper's permission, the joy in his eyes was about to burst out.

"Guest officer, I'll pack it up for you now," the little guy was about to pack it quickly, and he was quickly calculating in his head how much money he could get this month, so he heard Ji Cheng say, "Wait a minute first." .”

Xiao Er was about to cry, Ji Cheng rubbed his heart up and down, and he still had to put on a smile, "What's the matter, sir."

"Give me those two too," Ji Cheng pointed to the two most common hair ties.

The headband is made of the most common cotton cloth, but the color is brighter and the pattern is more, it doesn't cost much, so there is no reason for the shopkeeper not to nod.

"Xiao Linzi," Ji Cheng was satisfied, he smiled like a big dog with a bone in his mouth, "Pay money."

"I...I didn't bring that much money," Brother Lin chose whether I had enough money or not.

"I saw you loaded ten taels of silver in the morning," Ji Cheng said firmly, "Quick, pay the money quickly."

"I don't," the child was stubborn again, Ji Cheng tied a red hairband on his hair, took off the old one and threw it away on the spot, looking at the handsome man, he felt very relieved, "Hurry up Come on, let me tell you, a man is afraid of losing face when he is outside, you know that."

Lin Geer, who puts him first in everything, had a clear look of slack in his eyes, and Ji Cheng chased after the victory, "If you buy these two, we will go home, and you will not be allowed to drink goat milk at night."

"Really?" Geer Lin always felt that there was water in his words.

"Of course it's true. When have I lied to you?" He said with his arms on the counter.

Brother Lin was still hesitating, but his hand had already reached the money bag. Ji Cheng quickly took it over, took out the silver taels and swiped his card for millions, "Xiao Er! Take the money!"

The older girl and the younger daughter-in-law who have witnessed the whole process, now really want to know whose family this brother belongs to, can they come to ask for advice, how can they teach their husbands to be like this, this horse-riding is too enviable-hateful.

He didn't want to put the jade hairpin in the wooden box in the back basket, so he put it on his chest. His clothes were heavy, and his heart swelled accordingly. Brother Lin was still in a trance when he left the store, but Brother Cheng actually Bought him such a precious jade hairpin.

Five taels!Such a large sum of money was spent on him, and all the money in the family was exchanged for brother Cheng's life.Looking at the back of the leisurely walk in front of him, Brother Lin thought that no matter whether Brother Cheng married or not in the future, he would treat Brother Cheng well for the rest of his life.

He said he was going home directly, but he still went to the rice shop to buy some polished and coarse rice. Ji Cheng was used to fine grains in later generations, so he couldn't bear to eat coarse rice every day.Therefore, the meals at home are mixed, and he also stipulates that he must eat a meal of pure and fine grains every five days.

Rough rice only costs 25 renminbi a catty, but polished rice costs [-] renminbi. Brother Lin didn’t hesitate to pay this time, since he spent a lot of money, he naturally couldn’t wrong Brother Cheng on food.

They went to the butcher shop again and bought ten catties of meat, ten catties of pork ribs, and two large grass carp.In fact, Ji Cheng wanted to buy beef. There was no way that killing cattle would break the law in ancient times, so he could only think about it.

"If only we could buy baby chickens in spring," Lin Geer thought about the fluffy chickens, which can lay eggs when they grow up. bought.
