Chapter 815: Survival in Distress Depends on Wisdom
Qiao Ancai bought some folding fans, all of which were blank, "Brother Li, it's summer, people need folding fans, your calligraphy is good, you can write and draw, and I will be responsible for selling." ”
Li Zhongxuan quickly painted some fans, Qiao An spread a piece of paper on the ground, put the folding fan away, Li Zhongxuan's calligraphy and painting were colorful, and a group of people gathered to watch after a short while.
"Whose Mobao is this? The brushwork iron painting silver hook, the landscape layout is open, and the flowers and birds are vivid...... I said, girl, how much is it? ”
Someone was already very interested, and asked with a smile on his face.
"Five taels of silver, the fan is Meng Zongzhu's, the silk yarn is tribute satin, this is already very cheap, my father-in-law has been idle recently to do this business, please take care of it." Joan was already good-looking, and when she introduced it, she quickly attracted everyone.
"Then five taels of silver! Bought. The man was not stingy, and in a moment he bought five, and the rest of the people came closer, but in half an hour all the folding fans were sold out, and they got a hundred and fifty taels of silver.
Li Zhongxuan couldn't have imagined that his calligraphy would be so sought-after.
Joan said: "It's also priceless!" Your calligraphy and painting are far more than this price, but these places are bound to sell at a high price! Right and so. ”
Now, they have two hundred taels, one hundred taels of which were given by the shopkeeper of the Penglai Inn.
Shen Qiaoan held two hundred taels and thought to herself, she was in a hurry to go to Zhongjing, but first, her health was not very good, and the road was bound to be difficult, and second, there were more chasing soldiers, and now they were cornered, so it was better to settle here for the time being, and talk about it after a while.
She said her opinion, Li Zhongxuan nodded again and again, as long as he is with Qiao An, he is happy, so he doesn't care where he is.
When I went back in the evening, Shen Qiaoan saw the shopkeeper and took out fifty taels, "Daddy Niu, I have been bothering you for several days, but my body has not recovered yet, but when I go back, I am afraid that it will be more troublesome to come back to you when I get sick, so I will rent your house for a period of time, and leave when I am completely healed." ”
How could Daddy Niu not be happy, he opened a pharmacy in front of him, and he couldn't earn fifty taels a day, besides, he had more empty houses, and he was willing to rent it.
After taking the money, Li Zhongxuan said: "Why don't you go to the inn, you have to be wronged here?" ”
To say that the environment of this cow father's house is indeed not very good, it is a courtyard house, and Qiao An's house is close to the west, in the summer of May and June, they do not see the light in the morning, but the house is facing the sunset in the afternoon.
That kind of heat is really beyond words, but Joan is at ease with the encounter and doesn't seem to mind at all.
"Brother Li, it's too dangerous outside, and now they wouldn't have thought that we would be here even if they wanted to break their heads."
"An'er is really smart."
But in this way, the two are going to live together, the cow daddy is a kind person, the first night did not hear any movement in the house, the second morning to eat together, the cow daddy smiled: "How did you have last night?" ”
"What?" Qiao An was a little confused, but from Daddy Niu's strange smile, he had already understood, and hurriedly raised his forehead and said, "Daddy, what do you want to say?" My wife is not in good health. ”
Qiao An's face was red immediately, and as soon as he coughed, a mouthful of porridge was stuck in his throat, and Li Zhongxuan immediately patted Qiao An's back.
At this moment, Daddy Niu said again: "I'm the size of you, I'm really like a wolf and a tiger," Daddy Niu's words were not finished, and when he looked at it again, Shen Qiaoan and Li Zhongxuan both fled.
"Hey, the young man is so thin-faced, is there anything embarrassing about this?" Daddy Niu frowned.
Qiao An came back from the flower hall and went to his room, laughing and trembling, "That Daddy Niu is really good at talking nonsense, it turns out that he is an old and improper." ”
"He looked at us with respect for each other and seemed a little suspicious." Li Zhongxuan looked at Qiao An.
Qiao An was stunned, now their identities themselves are very suspicious, if this Niu Daddy reveals this matter and provokes Ye Qinguo's pursuers, it will not be good.
"What then?" Jo Ann's eyes were solemn and she stopped smiling.
Li Zhongxuan stretched out his hand and tapped it lightly near his temple.
"I have a way."
That night, Daddy Niu listened specifically outside the house, and suddenly heard the bed in the room shaking, so he went satisfied, Li Zhongxuan and Qiao An are both martial arts practitioners, and they can hear the ethereal footsteps in the distance, and after Daddy Niu left completely, Qiao An said: "This is your good way, shake the bed?" ”
"That old man Niu has good ears, otherwise he will suspect us."
On the second day, as soon as the morning dawned, Father Niu laughed and patted Li Zhongxuan on the shoulder, "She doesn't seem to like you, this is for you, young man, you have to learn from it." "How did Li Zhongxuan know what that Daddy Niu was giving.
He has something to do today, Qiao An has a plan, and Li Zhongxuan still wants to go out to make money. It is said to make money, but in fact, making money is one thing, and inquiring about news is another.
Li Zhongxuan went to the moat with Qiao An as soon as it was dawn, but he was very strange, and in the mighty wind, he asked, "What are you doing here?" ”
"Treasure hunting."
"Treasure hunting?" Li Zhongxuan felt strange, but Qiao An seemed to be very ordinary, looking down and observing at the same time, Li Zhongxuan felt surprised, but Shen Qiaoan often surprised himself, and probably this time would not be an exception.
In his opinion, the stones on the river beach are exactly the same, and there may not be any treasures in these stones, but in Qiao An's opinion, it is completely different, the two walked for a while, Shen Qiao An was a little tired, sat on a stone to rest, and looked at the clouds in the distance.
The morning sun has come out, piercing the clouds, a purple and red ambilight, as if the red-hot copper water has been watered, this morning sun can bring people hope.
A red glow fell on Qiao An's face, making her look very beautiful, Li Zhongxuan actually had an urge to kiss, Qiao An also felt Li Zhongxuan's confused gaze, "See what I do?" ”
"Nope!" Li Zhongxuan laughed.
"Bring me the stone." Joan pointed to the black stone in the distance, which was a little black, strange and heavy.
Li Zhongxuan felt that this stone was the most unsightly and ugly of all the stones he had seen today.
But Qiao An couldn't put it down, looking left and right, looking horizontally and vertically, and after reading it, she nodded with satisfaction.
"What baby?" Li Zhongxuan raised his eyebrows and asked.
"This is the Heavenly Stone, a treasure that fell from the sky, where do mortals know the benefits." Speaking of which, Li Zhongxuan has also seen a lot of stones of all kinds in the treasure building of the palace, but it is the first time that he has seen this piece in front of him.
"This stone," Joan patted as if it were a ripe watermelon, "you take it to the market and sell it, and don't sell it today, no matter how much people give you." ”
"Is it really a baby?" Li Zhongxuan picked up the stone again, and tapped it in the same way as Qiao An, but he didn't find anything strange at all.
"Just do as I say, I'll go back and rest," Qiao An said as he got up, and didn't forget to advise: "I bought chicken yesterday afternoon, and today we will eat braised chicken nuggets, and invite Daddy Niu to come along!" You go early and come back early, remember my words! The most important thing is that don't eat nests outside. ”
"Oh, good."
Li Zhongxuan suddenly found that his mind was extremely dull and he couldn't keep up with Qiao An at all, but he was afraid that Qiao An would encounter danger on the road, so he still escorted Qiao An back. After Shen Qiaoan went back, he saw an album on the table, which was wrapped with a layer of satin, and it looked very old.
I don't know where Li Zhongxuan got this from.
Qiao An thought it was some kind of cheats or something, as the saying goes, curiosity kills a cat, and Shen Qiaoan couldn't help it, holding the album, slowly opening it, only to open a page, and then he saw the content inside.
It was two men and women who were incomprehensible, doing something unbelievable and indescribable, Joan hurriedly pushed it away and cursed secretly.
When Li Zhongxuan came back in the evening, he would settle accounts with him, and we got back the messy things.
On the other side, Li Zhongxuan had already carried the black stone to the market in the town, they were in the market in the middle of the day, and soon a group of people came over, everyone looked at the starling, and the plants looked at the plants, and no one looked at this black and slippery stone that was not good-looking.
The skull-like ugly stone was placed at Li Zhongxuan's feet.
Li Zhongxuan only felt suffocated in his chest, and there was a feeling of being fooled.
But when he thought about it, it was impossible for Shen Qiaoan to play himself.
It stands to reason that with Li Zhongxuan's ingenuity, it is not difficult to understand these things at all, but at this moment, Li Zhongxuan is a little upset, and naturally he can't figure it out, and he has to check from time to time to see if there is any Qing Gongzi's family or the haunting sunset around.
The old man selling birds next to him laughed, "I said Son, look, you are crazy, can you just find a stone and sell it for money?" ”
Li Zhongxuan ignored it.
The girl who sold plants next to her also smiled, "I said brother, you are really the first time to do business, who is rare about your black stone, you are selling stones, and it is best to find a red, bright one." ”
Li Zhongxuan didn't want to speak, he was silent, both of them were surprised, squatted down and looked at the stone carefully, it was obviously an ordinary stone, but because of Li Zhongxuan's attitude, it seemed that the stone was really wrong.
A few rich children came over, they talked and laughed, because they saw a few people looking at the stones, they all came to play.
"I said, this boy, you are selling this stone?"
"Yes!"
Li Zhongxuan nodded.
"Sell me a tael of silver, and I take it."
The boy had nothing to do, he was originally joking, but Li Zhongxuan hugged the stone and said, "Don't think about it!" The heavenly stone fell from the sky, how can mortals know that it is wonderful, how can it be reasonable! I actually want to buy my heavenly stone for a tael of silver, and open it! ”
That was Qiao An's words, Li Zhongxuan used it lively, as soon as this rich kid heard what Tianshi, when he saw Li Zhongxuan's appearance of turning around and preparing to leave, he expected that this was a baby.
"Oh, don't go, Childe, five taels. How about five taels? ”
Li Zhongxuan had a cold face and didn't say a word, and when the boy saw it, he knew that this stone was a treasure, and he got fifteen taels in one breath.
Not to be outdone, the two sons next to him called for fifty taels, and the old man who sold starlings and the girl who sold plants were stunned, this ordinary black stone could be sold for fifty taels?
You must know that in that era, the third-grade officials in Zhongjing only paid thirty taels a month. I thought that Li Zhongxuan would drop the stone and make a deal, but how did I know that Li Zhongxuan would leave with the stone in his arms, and he would disappear in three or two steps.
In the afternoon, Li Zhongxuanren had returned to the medical hall, and after putting down the stone, he asked Qiao An: "What is this, why is it so valuable?" ”
Li Zhongxuan was "stupid" by Qiao An, and when those rich children saw this stone today, it was like flies seeing blood, and they wanted to take it away immediately.
"It's said that it's a living treasure, tomorrow when you go out, they will still look for you, and they will find more people to watch, but no matter what price you pay, still don't make a move, you know?"
Joan said cautiously.
Li Zhongxuan frequently bowed his head, and seemed to know Qiao An's meaning.
