Xiangye

Chapter 49
Gao Wen was almost driven mad by these words.

Although I am not a moral gentleman, I was considered a self-disciplined person in my previous life, and because I have the reserve of an intellectual.In that eccentric magic city, he never messed around, never smoked or drank alcohol, and never went to nightclubs.On weekdays, I just read books and watch American dramas.

After traveling to the Ming Dynasty, because of his strong body, alcohol was banned, which can be regarded as a kind of compensation for his previous life.Brothels and Chu Pavilions are not to be visited at all, for fear of getting sick.As for going out on errands, I never use my power to blackmail others. The reason is very simple, how much money do you get by blackmailing a businessman?No matter from which point of view, he is considered a different kind among the Gongmen.

But he didn't want to turn into a lustful evil ghost like Ximen Qing just because of the exposure of the hand-to-hand fight in Baoen Temple, and being spread by the storyteller Chen Guaizi, as if anyone of the opposite sex could have sex. The high-ranking officials have sex with women every day, and they are completely hungry.Moreover, if you continue to spread rumors like this, I'm afraid it's not the opposite sex.

These days when Gao Wen walked on the street, he was greeted with envious, jealous and adoring eyes, which naturally came from men.Just squat in the Lun, you are a high-ranking official, and you still come up with so many fancy tricks, it is really unique, and it is a great combination of ancient and modern house techniques.

As for women, it is another expression. No matter whether the woman is beautiful or ugly, sixteen years old or old, when she sees Gao Wen, her complexion turns pale with fright, and she avoids him with fear. There are even women He burst into tears, making Gao Wen furious, wishing he could crush that kidnapper to death.

These days, Gao Wen is thinking about having a good talk with Chen Guaizi, understanding it with reason and empathy, hoping that he will stop spreading rumors behind his back and eliminate the bad influence.

What kind of pot does Mrs. Gan not open today? Thanks to her, she figured out to let herself be the image spokesperson for her kiln.Moreover, there was a threatening tone in his tone.

This situation is a bit like when Hong Kong movies were popular in the later 80s, energetic social organizations shot the script in front of Hong Kong stars with guns, "Just ask, will you accept this book or not?"

Not to mention Mrs. Gan's threat to force herself, the key is that if she agrees to this matter, it will really make a big news.Her brothel would definitely tell people everywhere that those six women were consecrated by Gao Wen, with excellent skills and first-class workmanship, how would he, Gao Wen, see people in the future?

Being grabbed by Mrs. Gan's arm and feeling her hard and long nails, Gao Wen's body was covered with goosebumps, and he couldn't help waving his hand: "Come on, if you talk too much, you will be charged with obstructing office work. Don't bring out Huang Zhubo either. How can Huang Zhubo like an old beggar like you?"

Gao Wen was so strong that Mrs. Gan was thrown staggeringly.

This is the commercial area of ​​Hancheng, and there is a mule and horse market next to it. These two streets are full of inns, restaurants, and shops, so they are naturally very lively.When they made such a fuss, some people stood aside curiously to watch the excitement.It's just that they are afraid of Gao Wen and other yamen servants, and dare not approach them with pestles.

Ordinary people would not dare to entangle if they were so furious after eating Gao Wen, and walked away lazily.

But this Mrs. Gan was a shrew who spent her whole life in the market, and now that she was in Huang Wei's eyes, she naturally didn't take Gao Wen into her eyes.How could he be willing to suffer this loss, so he thought about getting it back.

When he was staggered, he casually tore off the money bag from Gao Wen's waist.

It turns out that in the Ming Dynasty, all the money used in the market were metal coins.Because of the excessive printing and distribution of money by the imperial court, no one cares about it. /Three or two coins are fine, at worst, keep them in your bosom and in your sleeves.But if you bring too much, it is inconvenient.You think, a silver ingot of ten taels of silver weighs more than 400 grams, and it is too troublesome to put it in your arms, let alone a 50 taels of high-ranking official ingot, which is tiring after holding it for a long time.

Moreover, the circulation of silver in this era is not high, and more money is made, and there are more and heavier things.

There was an old man in the city who liked to drink, and every time he went out, he would hang two strings of money around his neck, flaunting it through the market, and it became a scene in Hancheng.

Therefore, those who are more particular will probably ask their wives to sew a purse embroidered with flowers such as mandarin ducks, Bingdi lotus, and Pixiu. It is not only convenient to hang on the belt, but also a good accessory.

Seeing Gao Wen's purse being strangled by Mrs. Gan, all the yamen servants shouted, "You are so brave, rob him, and take him back to prison!"

Although the words were shouted, no one made a move.After all, this dead old woman belongs to the third master Huang Wei, Gao Wen is the fourth master, both of them are not easy to mess with, and we small shrimps don't get involved in their affairs.

Seeing that she had accidentally slipped Gao Wen's purse over, Mrs. Gan was also stunned.He also knew that he was causing trouble, if Gao Wen refused to let him say that he had robbed him of his money and arrested him in the yamen, he would inevitably be accused of robbery by a high-ranking official.This street is full of people, and there is no shortage of witnesses.

If that's the case, even the third master can't come forward to protect people.

While in a hurry, Mrs. Gan suddenly saw two women, one old and one young, kneeling on the side of the street.The old man was at the same age as me, and a bit uglier than me. He was really chicken-skinned and white-haired, which I hated especially.The little girl had a knotted wheat straw stuck in her head, she probably looked about the same, she was surprisingly tall, even comparable to a man.

Both of them had dirty faces and miserable eyes.

A piece of white cloth was placed in front of them, and a line of words was written on the cloth, which probably meant that the three members of their family were refugees from Shanxi Province, who had fled here after encountering military disasters.His father died of a sudden illness and had no money to bury him.And because of borrowing money for medical treatment, he owed 50 taels of silver to his fellow countrymen.I am willing to sell my daughter to my benefactor, and take it out as a cow or a horse to accompany my master to give birth to a baby.

On the white cloth are the guides of the woman and the purchase contract just written.

Don't think about it, this is selling one's body to bury one's father.

Pozi Gan suddenly remembered that the two had been kneeling here for a day, but no one cared about them.In fact, the reason is very simple.First of all, this woman is too expensive, 50 taels of silver, just kidding, this price can buy a beautiful woman with good cooking skills even in the capital.In the city of Xi'an, a woman is only five or six taels. Could it be that this woman is still a golden branch and a jade leaf, dare to call such a high price?

Besides, this woman was not beautiful.First of all, her facial features are well-defined, with high cheekbones, big eyes, and small mouth, giving her a Kefu look.Secondly, it is too tall, I have never seen such a tall woman.If you really buy it back, Huo Gang will be depressed, which is a joke.

Seeing these two women, Mrs. Gan suddenly had an idea in her heart.Not only could it make Gao Wen unable to punish himself for the crime of robbery, but it could also disgust him once.

Immediately, Mrs. Gan poured the silver in Gao Wen's purse in front of the old woman: "It's also your luck. Mr. Gao fell in love with your daughter and wanted to buy it back to be his wife. Your daughter is tall and has long arms and big buttocks, and she is only the fourth master." Only this kind of strong man can descend, and only then can he give birth to a fat son. Just this little money, no refund or no compensation."

Originally, Gao Wen's purse was not heavy, so he thought he didn't have much money.In this pocket, apart from three or five taels of silver, there is also a small ingot of gold, the total amount is already much more than 50 taels of silver.

While Mrs. Gan was talking, she yelled to the crowd again: "You say, is that so?"

Everyone watching the excitement didn't think it was a big deal, and they laughed at the same time: "Yes, yes, this woman is really tall, and only a veteran of flowers like a tall official can suppress it. Third master, you can just buy it back and treat it as a piece Good deeds." Everyone made such a fuss because they wanted to read Gao Wen's jokes so that they could have something to talk to when they had tea.

Gao Wen was caught off guard, and was startled: Fuck you, Mrs. Gan, you can do this for me, and even buy me a woman, what do you think I am?Moreover, this woman... this woman... is this her mother a woman?As tall as Lao Tzu, with a thick waist and big hands and legs, he is simply an athlete and a tigress.That's right, I like Sunshine Pretty Girls, but Sunshine is too sharp like this?

Seeing that Mrs. Gan suddenly threw the money bag in front of the old and the young and the two girls, the two on the ground were not like others. When they saw someone buying them, they knelt down and kowtowed, thank you very much.Instead, he was stunned, his face full of surprise, as if he couldn't believe his eyes.

"Why are you in a daze, take the money." Mrs. Gan was also in a hurry to get away, grabbed the money, and stuffed it into the old woman's arms.Then he grabbed one of the woman's hands and lowered his head to bite.

"Ah!" The young woman didn't seem to expect such a mouthful from Mrs. Gan, her body vibrated, but then suddenly relaxed.

Then look at her left thumb, which is bleeding from Mrs. Gan's bite.

As for the bleeding thumb, Mrs. Gan dragged her finger and pressed on the contract of sale.Then he took the contract and Lu Yin and thrust it into Gao Wen's hand, before disappearing into the crowd with a squeak.It can't be seen that she is so old, this whole set of movements is really smooth and smooth, without taking away any clouds.

When Gao Wen woke up, he was gone.

Just as he was about to speak, the surrounding audience applauded: "Gao Daguan is so righteous, he spent so much money to buy a woman, admire, admire!"

Another human said: "Isn't it too expensive for 50 taels to buy a crude envoy?"

Someone scolded: "What do you know? This shows the chivalrous demeanor of a high-ranking official. If the money is short, he will lose face? What kind of person are you? Can you afford a woman of 50 taels?"

"I'm a hawker who sells sweet soup. Naturally, this kind of woman can't afford it, and can't stand it."

"Great officials and Bodhisattvas have a heart, and they will be blessed in the future."

"Yes, what a nice person!"

A compliment may not come from sincerity, most of it is because you think that 50 taels of silver bought such a big woman, it's really a fool with a lot of money, it's so funny.By the way, isn't the nickname Gao Sanzi used to be called Gao Fool?

……

"Old beggar, old Yasha!" Gao Wen lost 50 taels of money inexplicably, and was ridiculed by the world, so angry that he was so angry.

After thinking about it, I sighed again.This little money is really nothing to me now, and that's right, just treat it as a good deed!He was originally an atheist in the previous world, but now that he has traveled through time, he feels that there is indeed such an unknowable thing as God in the dark.On the premise of not affecting your own life, it is also good to do some meritorious deeds.

He originally planned to help buy the life deed and return it to the mother and daughter, and go home to see his mother by himself.But my heart was moved: No, as the saying goes, a tiger does not eat its poison.The woman's mother looked fierce, maybe she wasn't a good person.If I return her daughter to her, there is no guarantee that this old woman will run out of money and sell her daughter for money in the future. There will be many such things in later generations, not to mention ancient times.

Sending the Buddha to the west is worse than...

Indeed, judging from the face of the chicken-skinned and white-haired old woman, this person has triangular eyes, mournful brows, and eyes as bright as knives.There is a cold light flickering between opening and closing, not like a kind mother at all.

People's hearts are unpredictable and must be guarded against.
