Chapter 9: Silly Girl
After Qin Shuhuai experienced the Ming style with the mentality of a tourist, he planned to set off for Qingwu Town. The www.biquge.info inquired with passers-by that Qingwu Town was located in the southeast of the capital, eighty or ninety miles away from here. Qin Shuhuai calculated, this is probably the boundary of Tongzhou. As a modern man, his first consideration would not be walking, so he planned to hire a carriage.
There is everything on Chang'an Street, and it is naturally not difficult to hire a carriage. But when the driver quoted the price, he was taken aback.
"From here to Qingwu Town, you have to say a hundred miles, and it is two hundred miles back and forth, and it is too expensive to charge you thirty taels?" said the coachman with a look of disdain.
Qin Shuhuai was very familiar with the Ming Dynasty. During the Chongzhen period, a stone of rice only cost about 1.1 taels of silver, and a stone of rice was 156 catties of rice. How can 156 catties of rice on the earth cost more than 400 yuan, so 30 taels of silver is roughly equivalent to about 12,000 yuan in the Huaxia Kingdom on the earth! Of course, the value of silver is different depending on the color, and Qin Shuhuai can only make an approximate calculation.
It's expensive, but it's not like a driver's asking price. At the end of the Ming Dynasty, the border was tight, and horses were always in short supply, so the price naturally rose. At the end of the Ming Dynasty, whoever owned a carriage was equivalent to a modern luxury car. The cost of the driver is high, and the fee is naturally high.
It's a little distressing to think about more than 10,000 yuan to take a taxi, but if you don't feel distressed, you will have to have a sore foot when you turn around. Touching the silver ticket in his arms, he felt that he could afford this little distress.
So he found a silver number, exchanged the 100 taels of silver tickets for 50 taels of silver, plus 50 taels of silver tickets, and hired a carriage and went on the road.
The road was bumpy and took more than three hours (more than 6 hours), and finally came to Qingwu Town when the sky was just dark.
Qingwu Town is a typical northern town. The town is not big, but because it is on the side of the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal, it attracts a lot of merchants, and the street is also full of people coming and going, which is more lively.
After getting out of the car, Qin Shuhuai walked along the wide street to the center of the town, wanting to find an inn to stay overnight.
When I passed by a shop, I noticed a large circle of people at the door. There was nothing to do, so I went up to see the excitement.
Squeezing into the crowd, he saw a vendor-like figure pulling a young girl, saying nothing to let the girl go.
I saw that the girl was about seventeen or eighteen years old, wearing a delicate white gauze skirt robe, with bright eyes and bright teeth, skin like condensation, pupils as clear as a pool of water, and a hint of childish charm in the corners of her eyes like a crescent moon, but this charm was diluted by the dust-free temperament that emanated from her body, like a fairy sister who does not eat fireworks in the world.
The vendor grabbed the girl's jade hand tightly and kept saying, "You can't go, you have to buy this bun." Everyone gives a review, how can you take a bite of the bun and say no, isn't it?"
The girl's beautiful eyes were blank and a little at a loss, but her tone was light, "Didn't you say let me taste it?"
The vendor's eyes widened and he said, "I'll let you taste it, which means I want you to buy it." Girl, it's not easy for us to do a small business, and you have to pay for anything. ”
The girl shook her head lightly and said, "But I don't have any money, so what is it?"
There was a burst of laughter in the crowd of onlookers.
"Hey, it's so beautiful, it's a stupid girl!"
"Haha, what a fool. But she's so beautiful, who paid for her to take her home!"
"Wu Lao Er, do you want to take her home?
Qin Shuhuai also sighed slightly, this girl can play the fairy sister without makeup, but I didn't expect to be a fool, it's a pity.
The heckling of the crowd reminded the vendor, who greedily glanced at the girl, a malicious smile on the corner of his mouth, and then said, "I don't care if you are stupid or not, in short, if you can't get the money, you have to work here!"
The girl frowned slightly and said, "Work, but I don't know how to make buns." ”
"It doesn't matter if you don't know how to make steamed buns, you can do other jobs!" the stall owner smirked.
"Wait!"
There was a scolding not far away, Qin Shuhuai followed the sound and saw a young man in brocade walking over with three or four entourages. The onlookers looked at it and immediately hid to the side.
This is Li Hao, the eldest son of Li Kun, the master of the Cao Gang Qingwutang, a well-known scoundrel, whoever offends him is unlucky!
Li Hao held a fan in his hand, looked at the girl in white shirt with shining eyes, and couldn't help but feel a burst of joy. Just now, my subordinates reported that there was a stunning girl in the bazaar, but her brain was a little not very good, and it seemed that this kid really didn't tell a lie.
One of his subordinates smiled, came up to him flatteringly, and said, "Childe, you see I'm not talking nonsense, right?"
Li Hao nodded with satisfaction, knocked the head of the subordinate with a fan, and said, "You kid, take a credit." ”
Then he turned to the vendor and said, "Wang Ergou, this girl belongs to my son...... Ben Gongzi's cousin, how much does it cost to eat your buns? Ben Gongzi paid for him. ”
Onlookers smiled playfully. When did you have such a cousin again?
The vendor named "Wang Ergou" showed a slightly disappointed look on his face, probably knowing that he was out of play.
However, looking at Li Hao's wolf-like subordinates, he didn't dare to mention the matter of money anymore, and hurriedly said, "Since it is Li Gongzi's cousin, then I have a treat." ”
Li Hao glanced at Wang Ergou with disdain, then turned to the girl in the white shirt and said, "Cousin, are you hungry?" Come, let's go home, whatever you want to eat, just say, my brother will definitely get it for you." ”
The girl in the white shirt shook her head, and then she replied, and then Yubu moved lightly and turned to leave.
Li Hao frowned, several of his subordinates understood, and immediately ran up to stop the girl in white shirt.
"Hey, cousin, don't go. ”
"That is, in the realm of Qingwu Town, where can you go?"
"Why don't you hurry up and go home with our son?"
The girl in the white shirt shook her head again and said lightly, "I don't know you, get out of the way." ”
Li Hao laughed evilly and said, "My cousin is delirious, you better carry her back." ”
Several of the attendants immediately laughed, and then rolled up their sleeves and prepared to forcibly abduct people.
Everyone shook their heads and sighed, it seemed that another big girl was going to be ruined.
Qin Shuhuai was overjoyed, this plot was clearly an opportunity to give himself a chance to be chivalrous, so he yelled.
"Stop, let go of that girl!"
After shouting this sentence righteously, Qin Shuhuai instantly felt that his image was much taller. In the past, this sentence may not have much feeling when it was only shouted on the Internet, but in reality, he found that it was still very deterrent.
At least Li Hao and his followers were shocked.
Li Hao didn't understand why there were still people in Qingwu Town who dared to argue with him? No one in this town knew how many fights he had fought and how many people he had abolished since he was a child?
After taking a closer look at Qin Shuhuai, he understood again that he was a foreigner. No wonder he doesn't understand the rules here, it seems that he has to be educated well.
smiled contemptuously and said, "Oh, this little brother, this is to be a hero to save beauty?"
Several of the attendants also laughed wildly, and one of them said, "Boy, do you know what our Li Gongzi is all about?"
Qin Shuhuai asked, "Jiang He's from the Gang?"
If it was Jianghe Gang, Qin Shuhuai would have to consider another solution. After all, I still want to join the gang, and it's not good to fall out with someone when I come up.
As soon as the words fell, several people laughed again.
One of them said hatefully, "Jianghe Gang, Jianghe Gang is a fart! A small regional gang is a **** in front of our Cao Gang!"
