Concubine

Chapter 7 handsome boy
Yang Qiuchi looked at the broken silver in his palm, is this silver?He had only seen silver necklaces, silver bracelets and the like before, but he had never seen silver used for trading as currency, and thought it was very novel.Isn't the silver in the TV series a saddle-shaped silver ingot?Why did the shopkeeper give him a few off-white things that looked like small stones?He didn't know that the saddle-shaped silver ingots were generally obtained after the imperial court levied taxes, and the "silver pouring room" specially set up by the Yamen melted the broken silver, and then cast them into 50 taels of saddle-shaped silver ingots, which were official silver. Most of the standard styles used by ordinary people are cut and broken silver.

Yang Qiuchi and the waiter walked out of the door of the pawn shop, Yang Qiuchi looked at the waiter, and saw him staring at the broken silver in his hand, his eyes were shining, this kind of greedy eyes can't be pretended, it seems that the silver is real, Shopkeeper Qian didn't lie to himself.Yang Qiuchi picked a small piece of silver from the small pile of broken silver and shook it, then handed it to the shop waiter: "Your reward!"

The waiter stared at Yang Qiuchi and saw that he didn't look like he was joking, so he pointed to the small piece of silver in Yang Qiuchi's hand, then pointed to his nose, and gulped: "Give it to me? "

Yang Qiuchi handed over the piece of broken silver in his hand: "Do you think it's too little?"

"No, no, no!" The waiter in the shop was surprised and delighted, took the money with trembling hands, held it tightly in his palm, and said incoherently: "Thank you!...Thank you, sir! You...you are really a... …good man!"

This piece of broken silver is about one or two pounds, and the inn where the waiter is located is just an ordinary small inn in the county, and the guests who come and go are usually peddlers, who would like to break a copper coin into two halves to spend. Yes, when you meet a generous customer, it would be great if you can tip a few bucks. His salary is only 1000 cash a month, and Yang Qiuchi rewarded him with almost one tael of silver, which is equivalent to about two taels of silver for the waiter in the shop. Monthly wages, why not make him excited.During the Yongle period of the Ming Dynasty, one tael of silver was roughly worth 1000 yuan, and a casual reward of [-] yuan to a buddy was considered generous even in today's society.

"You're welcome!" After all, it's a pleasant thing to make others feel grateful. Yang Qiuchi smiled, holding up the pieces of silver in his hand and wanting to look at them again. A handful of broken silver was snatched away.Yang Qiuchi was startled, and hastily withdrew his hand, but he was already slow, his palm was empty, and the pieces of silver had disappeared.Yang Qiuchi turned around and saw a young man standing beside him, about fourteen or fifteen years old, with two big black and bright eyes twinkling. The boy is holding a rope tightly in his hand, and a little black dog is tied to one end of the rope. The little black dog is dirty and covered with dirt and dust. Rolling his eyes straight, he desperately scratched the rope around his neck with his claws.

Yang Qiuchi saw that this person didn't look like a robber, and he was a half-grown child. He must be a kid from some family who was joking with him, so he felt relieved at the moment, and stretched out his hand: "Return the money to me!"

"Return it to you?" The young man threw the money back, "Don't you have a lot of money? If you don't hesitate to reward others, the money will be considered as a reward to me!"

"Reward you?" Yang Qiuchi forced a smile, the money is in the hands of others, it seems impossible not to do it, but this child is so weak that he can knock her down with just one finger.However, since I’m new here and I’m not familiar with the place, it’s better not to cause trouble, but to say nice things to her, and it’s better not to do anything: “Okay, little friend, I, Yang, have made you my friend, you keep one piece, and the rest Me, it's all right!"

"It's a reward, of course it's all rewards, how can you be so stingy as giving a small piece!" The boy winked his eyes and smiled badly.

A piece of silver is still too little, which made Yang Qiuchi dumbfounded: "Who are you? Why should I give you so much money?" Turning to look at the shop waiter, I saw him cowering and hiding behind looking at the boy, as if Very scared look.Then he asked, "Hey, Xiao Er, do you know this kid?"

The shop clerk nodded and was about to speak when he suddenly saw the boy's face turned cold, he quickly shook his head again, not daring to say anything.

Seeing the appearance of the waiter in the shop, Yang Qiuchi stared at the boy full of doubts, and the boy smiled: "You don't even know me, you just came here, right?"

Just as Yang Qiuchi was about to answer, the puppy behind the boy let out a mournful cry, scratching the rope around his neck desperately.The young man frowned, and yanked the rope in his hand, the puppy fell out, rolled over and tried to bark, but couldn't.Sticking out his tongue, he looked at Yang Qiuchi miserably.

Yang Qiuchi frowned. Seeing this young man mistreating a puppy like this, he was a little angry, not caring whether he caused trouble: "Why are you torturing a puppy, let him go!"

"Haha, who are you, why do you tell me to let go of this puppy? It doesn't belong to your family!" The boy said while wrapping the rope in his hand around his fingers and playing with it.

Yang Qiuchi was too lazy to talk to him, and reached out to grab the boy's hand holding the rope.The boy smiled and didn't move his hands. When Yang Qiuchi's hand was about to grab his arm, he turned his wrist and pointed his two fingers to Yang Qiuchi's elbow. Half of Yang Qiuchi's body was like an electric wrench, sore and Numb, he backed up a few steps in a panic, startled, the vocabulary in martial arts novels flashed in his mind-acupuncture!
Could it be that this young man knows acupuncture, but he just feels sore and numb in his right hand, but he can still move, and it doesn't look like the acupuncture in the legend. Could it be that he is not good at learning, and he can't touch the other person and can't move?Or maybe it was his acupoints for tingling and numbness, deliberately making himself numb instead of immobilized?

The boy giggled and said, "Is it fun? This is just a small punishment for you. Who told you to meddle in other people's business and act in a manner that is not serious."

This young man knows martial arts, and seeing that the waiter in the store is very afraid of him, it can be concluded that this young man should be a child of a wealthy family in the county town, and he was spoiled.It seems that if you are not capable of fighting, you can only outsmart.

Yang Qiuchi chuckled and raised his thumb: "Good skill! It's really rare for a young boy to have your cultivation level!"

The boy smiled and said: "It's useless for you to flatter me. You gave me this silver. Thank you!" He made a proud face, took out a small embroidered money bag from his arms, and put the few pieces of silver into it. Put it in the purse, then put it back in your arms, shook your head, and turned to leave.

Yang Qiuchi laughed loudly: "What is this little money worth? I have never seen the world before!"

"What? You country bumpkin dare say that I have never seen the world!" The boy's face was frosty.Approaching Yang Qiuchi, he stretched out his hand to grab him.

Yang Qiuchi took a step back and waved his hands again and again: "Man and woman can't kiss each other, what do they look like with their hands and feet!"

The young man was startled: "How do you know I'm a girl?" This sentence is not self-confessed, it is tantamount to admitting that she is a girl.The boy turned his head and stared at the waiter: "You said it!" The waiter quickly shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Miss, how dare I, you've been seeing it here all the time, and I haven't even opened my mouth, what should I say."

miss?This girl really has a background.

The girl nodded, and then asked Yang Qiuchi strangely: "Hey! How do you know I'm a girl? It's because I don't look good in makeup, did I leak something?"
