Chapter 17 Hardcore fans
"What is there to see? You don't even know what he looks like. According to the storyteller, General Helian is in his forties, and there must be a lot of wives and concubines in the mansion. Such a man..." Mu Xiang Tsk tut shook his head.No matter how attractive he is, he is at best a middle-aged uncle.It's better to be famous than to meet, if Jinju really met, I'm afraid I'd beat my chest, regret it to death!
Jin Ju was in a hurry, stood still, and refused to leave, she decided to teach Mu Xiang a good lesson, "Don't talk nonsense, General Helian is only 22 years old today, he is the youngest general in our Southern Jin Kingdom, and also the youngest As a first-rank official, he spends half of his time at the border in a year, so, not to mention wives and concubines, he doesn’t have any maidservants connected to the room. Isn’t this kind of man good? You, you don’t know what you’re thinking all day long, Go out and ask, among girls our age, who doesn't like General Helian, oh yes, let me tell you quietly..."

Jinju approached her ear mysteriously, and muttered: "I heard that someone painted a portrait of General Helian privately, and they are going to sell it secretly." Speaking of the portrait, Jinju was both happy and helpless, "It must be expensive. It’s terrible, even if you sell me, you can’t afford it.”

Seeing Jin Ju's disappointed face, Mu Xiang smiled helplessly, grabbed her arm, and walked out, "Since you can't afford it, then don't think about it, after a few years you will get married, and you will get married." Baby, when you think about it again, the current infatuation is really ridiculous."

"Oh, why don't you believe me?" Jin Ju is a die-hard fan of He Lian Sheng's. Die-hard fans have very contradictory ideas. They hope that everyone will like what she likes, but they are not afraid that others will steal her likes.So, when Mu Xiang disapproved of He Liancheng, she stomped her feet impatiently.

Just when Jin Ju was awkwardly following Mu Xiang out of the teahouse, suddenly a person ran towards them and quickly ran past them.The man was running too fast, he didn't look at the road at all, and accidentally bumped into Jin Ju, but fortunately Mu Xiang was behind her and helped her in time, saving her from the embarrassment of falling to the ground.

"You!" Jinju was angry, and was hit for no reason, and was about to lose her temper, when the man ran into the teahouse and shouted loudly, "I heard that General Helian led troops to attack the border of Canglan, Kuta's territory has gone, it's near Feilong Valley, which is [-] miles away from us!"

One stone stirred up thousands of waves, and his words made the few tea guests in the teahouse all excited.

One person suddenly said: "I heard people say that not far from our town, there is a Yudai River, and the source is in the area of ​​Feilong Valley. Hey, you say, if the general wins the Canglan people, will he not be able to return?" Will you pass by us?"

As soon as he finished speaking, someone immediately refuted it. A short and fat man waved his hands again and again, disagreeing with his guess, "How could the general follow such a long waterway? Besides, it doesn't matter which way you go back to Beijing. Can't get to us."

A bearded man next to the fat man punched the table, and said bitterly: "I'm also a seven-foot man. I hate that I can't defend my family and the country, and I can't join the army. If General Helian comes to our conscription, I will be the first to sign up." , as long as I can be under the command of the general, even if I can be a fire-washer, I would be happy!"

The storyteller has the highest prestige among the crowd, and when he saw these words, he got far away, and quickly waved his hand to signal them to stop talking, "We are far away from the flames of war, you guys, just live your life, don't look at me as a storyteller on weekdays." It's very enjoyable to say, but I know better than anyone else that when you go to the battlefield, it's like putting a knife on your neck. If someone swings the knife down, your head will have to move, and your life will be gone. It's not as simple as you think. Go home, what should you do!"

Mu Xiangxin said: This storyteller, the book is good, and he can understand things clearly, it is really rare.Mu Xiang turned her eyes and said to Jin Ju: "See, those things about swords and swords are too far away from us, so don't expect to come to us. People die in wars, and a person only has one life. If he dies, he will die." .”

Jin Ju hung her head, nodded, and followed Mu Xiang obediently.

On the way home, Jin Ju didn't say a word. Originally, Mu Xiang had prepared a whole set of excuses to explain her generosity today.It seems that it is useless now, Jin Ju's thoughts are not with her at all.

When passing by the gate of the city, there was a grain store with a sign hanging outside the door, rice was fifteen yuan a catty, and white flour was ten yuan.Mu Xiang remembered that there was little rain last year, and it seemed that the rice harvest was not very good. The wheat was drought-tolerant, but the harvest was better, so the price of white flour was cheaper.Of course, the area of ​​land that can be cultivated varies from place to place, and the price of food also varies.

Mu Xiang thought it was better to buy five catties of flour first, which was not too heavy, and piled it in her back basket, which was just right.

This time Jinju was puzzled, "I haven't seen you all morning, and I bought so many things, where did you get the money from?"

While filling the flour, Mu Xiang smiled and said: "Isn't it just that I sold the recipe for making pig intestines and got a few small coins, so they gave me a tael of silver, which is just enough to buy these household items. It's not a lot of money, you Don’t talk nonsense after you go back, I was just trying my luck, I used to work as a helper in the town, and I overheard someone talking about it, so I tried it myself, I didn’t expect it to be successful after just a try, it’s nothing.”

Jinju didn't think she was being modest, a recipe sold for one tael, in her opinion, that was Mu Xiang's big profit, if she knew that Mu Xiang exchanged a recipe for 50 taels, she might be surprised Jaws are about to drop.

"You earned a tael of silver this morning, you deserve a treat." Jin Ju also didn't eat all morning, and she was really hungry.

Mu Xiang took out two buns from the bamboo basket and handed them to her, "Here, eat, we can go on our way after eating." The buns were stuffed in the middle, and they were still cold.

Jinju only took one, and stuffed the other back for her, and said with a naive smile: "I have a small stomach, I can't eat two, you can take them back for Gou'er and Caiyun to eat!"

Mu Xiang pushed her hand back, tidied up the basket, and said with a smile: "It's okay, it's just two buns, I can afford them, besides, I bought a lot, and there are still in the basket!"

Seeing that she didn't seem to be being polite, Jin Ju didn't refuse any more, and took a bite of the bun with a smile.

After a lot of tossing, when the two of them were about to return to the village, it was almost evening.Mu Xiang hung on to her siblings, and her steps became faster, but because she was carrying something on her back, it was impossible to go faster.

Along the way, Jin Ju was still worrying and thinking about He Liancheng, sighing as she walked, she didn't know whether she was sighing that she hadn't seen General Lei, or that she was about to marry a woman, and she would no longer even have the right to worship.
