[Zhonghonglou] After being reborn, Daiyu found that she had been tricked

There are three big markets in Yangzhou City every month, namely the first day, the tenth day, and the 25th day of the new year, and the market on the tenth day is the most grand.Now it is the tenth day of the eighth lunar month, and the Mid-Autumn Festival is approaching. Every family has to prepare for the holidays. Those households must take advantage of this opportunity to make more money, and secondly, they also want to buy some festivals. After all, the village is closed and there are some things Even if you spend money, you may not be able to buy it.

Therefore, on the tenth day of the eighth lunar month, there were several times more people going to the city to do business than usual, making it even more lively.The east-west, north-south main streets are occupied by various vendors, and even some small streets are crowded with people, and all kinds of goods are placed all over the city.

People shuttled back and forth, all kinds of hawking and shouting came and went.

It was on this day that Zhaoyu, Daiyu, Wu Jun and others went out to visit the market, watch the excitement, and do some shopping.

Zhaoyu was walking forward with his head held high, when he suddenly felt that something was missing around him. Looking back, Daiyu and Wu Jun who were walking beside him had stopped in front of a grocery stall.Daiyu is dressed up as a boy today, wearing a brocade dress with a red bottom and tufted flowers, and Wu Jun has arrow sleeves carved with Buddha's head in green and silk.Both of them have exquisite faces, snow-white skin, and their clear complexions almost glisten in the sun. Although they don't want to admit it, it must be said——they match surprisingly well.

Daiyu tilted her head, staring at something on the grocery stand with great interest.

"That's a water trolley." Zhaoyu walked over and said, "Farmers use it to irrigate their fields. Did you see this circle of bamboo tubes? It will turn, and after turning a certain angle, the bamboo tube immersed in the water will rise, continuously irrigating the river water into the fertile fields."

Talking about using his hands, he turned the bobbin cart, smiled and said to Daiyu, "It's like this."

The stall owner who was cleaning up the sundries at the side was very surprised, looked at Zhaoyu and said with a smile: "Young master is so young, he is really well-informed, not only knows what this thing is called, but also knows how to use it, which makes people feel admirable." Can not be done."

Zhaoyu waved his hand and said humbly, "Things that four or five-year-old children in the countryside know are nothing."

To be honest, he had never seen a bobbin cart in his life.Born in a family of officials and eunuchs since he was a child, he went out to socialize, and the people he came and went with were also the wealthy and noble eunuchs of the scholarly family. He stayed in either the capital or Yangzhou. He had never been to the countryside, so where would he see such a thing.But in his previous life, he had been doing business all over the world, and he had never been to any place or seen anything.When a farmer's family was in distress, he also learned how to make a water drum from the farmers.

Daiyu pursed her lips slightly, thoughtful, and Zhaoyu couldn't help pointing to the small cart driveway on the stall: "This is just an appearance, the real cart is much bigger than this one. The rivers in the south of the Yangtze River are densely covered, and the carts like this in the countryside There are also many cars, if you like it, I will tell my father to take you to see what the real car looks like."

Daiyu raised her head, fixed her eyes on Zhaoyu, and said, "It's a deal."

Zhaoyu also stared at Daiyu, and nodded seriously: "It's a deal!"

Yin asked the stall owner, "How much is it worth?"

The stall owner didn't directly say how much it was, but picked up the cart, offered it with both hands, and said, "It's not a good thing. This young master likes it, so let's play with it. As for the money, it's up to you to reward me."

Yes, this is also sensible.

Since Daiyu liked it, Zhaoyu naturally would not be stingy with money, took it and handed it to the attendant behind him, took out a piece of silver coin the size of a peanut from his sleeve, and rewarded him.

The stall owner took it with great gratitude, and smiled so much that he couldn't see his teeth but his eyes.After a while, he was stunned, because a pair of small hands dexterously and quickly took away the silver key in his hand.

He and Wu Jun stared wide-eyed, and the stall owner grinned in disbelief.

"Use mine."

Before he could retract his hand, another larger and heavier silver ingot was stuffed in, and the stall owner was momentarily confused.

Although this small cart is exquisitely made, it is only made of ordinary paulownia wood, which is the cheapest, and he is content with selling it for a hundred copper coins.But the older son first gave him a peanut-sized silver ingot, which was several times more than the original value of the bobbin, but he was snatched away by another young master before he had time to be happy.However, before he could ask what was going on, the young man gave him another bigger silver ingot, which should be no less than ten taels.

What exactly happened here?

Wu Jun returned the small silver ingot to Zhaoyu's arms, and reiterated: "I'll buy the bobbin cart!"

Only then did the stall owner realize that it turned out that two young masters were vying to buy his item, and they started bidding.

This vinegar also needs to be eaten.Zhaoyu couldn't help laughing, well, the fist is hard, so I compromise.

There is still half a street to walk from where they are now to Shunxing Building.Anyway, there is plenty of time, so I simply go shopping and take a look at all kinds of delicious and fun things.Zhaoyu originally planned to buy more things for Daiyu, but as long as Daiyu likes it, Wu Jun will pay for it himself as if declaring his sovereignty. Zhaoyu has no choice but to let him go.

As a result, walking down half a street, the attendants were covered with various items, and Zhaoyu's purse did not hold back at all.In the past few Yangzhou city bazaars, he took Wang Demin and his gang to buy, buy, eat, eat meat, and spend a lot of money. It feels so cool. Is it really going to be aggrieved this time? Can't spend it.

"Brother Zhaoyu!"

"Brother Lin!"

"Uncle Lin!"

Suddenly several voices rang out all at once, and Zhaoyu stroked his forehead, watching Wang Demin lead two little attendants—the son of the Tongzhi and the son of the judge, and five or six attendants pushed away the crowded crowd and waved happily.

This time I mainly took Daiyu out to play, Zhaoyu didn't intend to fool around with this group of friends, but unexpectedly ran into them on the street.After all, these few are messing with me, so I can't be too shameless.Reluctantly waving his hand, Zhaoyu yelled to tell them to slow down, don't just squeeze forward and hurt others.

They were far away before, and there were many people blocking them. Wang Demin and the others did not see Daiyu and Wu Jun, who were the shortest.After squeezing over to take a look, he was so panicked that he wanted to greet Wu Jun, but Zhao Yu quickly stopped him and said in a low voice: "It's troublesome, don't reveal the identities of the eldest son and my sister."

Speaking of this, he paused, raised his eyebrows, "Understood?"

Wang Demin and the other three nodded hurriedly.

Zhao Yu asked where they came from.

Wang Demin said: "Shunxing Building."

Zhaoyu: "How about Shunxing Building? Is it lively?"

Hearing this, Wang Demin was a little discouraged, and bowed his head and said: "It's very lively, there are huge crowds of people, and there are many rare treasures outside the gate, such as coral, turquoise, amber, agate, emerald feathers, peacock feathers, etc., are all good things. The value is not less than a hundred gold, just the two taels of silver that I spend every month, I can’t afford it in eight lifetimes. Shunxing Building is extremely luxurious, there are many strange things, and I heard that there are seven or eight items from the West. Children who are [-] years old are sold, all have yellow hair and green eyes, and their skin is whiter than snow, and they can see the flow of blood."

Zhaoyu showed a horrified expression: "Isn't that scary?"

Wang Demin shook his head again and again: "Of course not! If it's what you said, how could so many masters pay high prices to buy one and go back to be a boy or a girl? It's only 100 taels of silver to enter the door. Only money is not Recognize people, even the young master and I were kicked out."

Zhaoyu said: "Why, you didn't report your father's name?"

Wang Demin sighed: "Don't talk about it, report it, it's useless."

Zhaoyu rubbed her chin and gave a fairly fair evaluation: "This store is tough enough!"

So a group of people went to Shunxing Building.

Still a mile away, I could hear faint beating of gongs and drums, and it became more lively as I approached. There were lion dancers, monkey shows, and jugglers.Although there were many things at the door, Zhaoyu was not very interested in them.There are two rows of sixteen guards in black clothes standing at the gate with solemn expressions. There is a table at the gate with seats and the Four Treasures of the Study. An old man in a long robe sits on the chair. If you want to enter the gate, you have to pay for registration. , no exception is allowed.

Zhaoyu was about to go up the steps when she suddenly felt her sleeves being pulled.

Looking back, it was Wang Demin, and he whispered: "Have you brought enough money? The master is 100 taels per person, and the servants don't accept it. There are five of us in total." He stretched out one hand and spread out, "500 taels of silver! You Is there any? They don’t recognize people without money, just now they knew I was the magistrate, and they almost did it with me.”

Taking a sneak peek, he continued, "Did you see those guards in black clothes? They are all martial arts masters."

Zhaoyu turned her head: "You worry too much."

Before the words fell, a scream came from a distance, oh, no, it is more appropriate to say a scream.A tall and thick man wanted to steal a gold hairpin, but was caught on the spot, and his arms were taken off by a black-clothed guard, and he was lying on the ground, rolling and howling.

Wang Demin was a little timid suddenly, looked at La Zhaoyu's sleeve: "How about, let's go back."

Zhaoyu snorted from his nose and said contemptuously, "Coward! Not even a woman!"

Wang Demin secretly calmed down and Daiyu, whose expression did not change, suddenly felt that she was too embarrassing and embarrassing.In order to save the little face left, he hurriedly raised his head and chest, patted his chest and said: "Master is going in today!"

"Silver!" The gentle old man said concisely, without saying a word of nonsense.

Wang Demin stared at Zhaoyu without blinking, saw his face was calm like a wave, then frowned slightly, touched his left cuff, then his right cuff, and then his waist purse, biting his lip as if in distress state.

"You, you didn't bring money, did you?" Wang Demin regretted a little, thinking that he shouldn't come here with Zhaoyu impulsively.

Zhaoyu ignored him, touched it for a long time before showing a smile, and said, "I found it."

Slowly pull out a multicolored silk sash from the inside of the jacket, and when it reaches the end, a small sky blue bead jumps out, spinning at high speed in the sun, a little dazzling.

Daiyu stared at the beads with some doubts, Wu Jun still had a calm face, but Wang Demin was a little desperate.

Seeing that, the gentle old man jumped up in fright, and said in disbelief, "This--" After a while, he bowed and bowed, and invited Zhaoyu and his party in.

Wang Demin was in a daze, and he couldn't recover. When he stepped down the steps, he stepped on the air and fell all over his body in mud.

Daiyu glanced lightly, and felt that Zhaoyu's little friend in Yangzhou City was not up to standard IQ.

The son of the Tongzhi and the son of the judge hurriedly helped Wang Demin up, and the three of them stumbled forward.

Daiyu pulled Zhaoyu's sleeve, the latter turned her head, Daiyu tilted her head, narrowed her eyes slightly, with a smile on her lips, and asked, "It's him?"
