Chapter 24 Statues

"Please come in and talk." Pei Ziyun understood that this was a show of goodwill by the Li family. The Li family did not mention the money, and he had to give it to him after receiving the land deed, but he was a little hesitant without any extra money in his hand.

The housekeeper was also clever and clear-minded. When he saw Pei Ziyun's appearance, he knew that he was hesitating about money. He quickly continued: "If my husband can't afford to collect the mortgage for 50 taels at the moment, it doesn't matter. He can pay it back during the Chinese New Year or next year if he has time."

This ten acres of land was bought by my mother with the only remaining money. Now it has a different meaning. Pei Ziyun was happy to see the Li family so polite, and said, "Mr. Li is in his hometown, and has been revered for a long time, but he has no chance and has never visited him. He should visit him more in the future."

This is what the housekeeper wants. He is a scholar and is ranked tenth on the list. Although he is not too far ahead, he is only fifteen years old and has a broad future.

No matter how much the ten acres of land are, they can be paid back to the Qing Dynasty. Now they are making a good relationship. The two are talking, and then the villagers come to visit again. The butler said goodbye when he saw someone coming.

The villagers came, and it turned out to be a hunter in the village, and they were all familiar with each other. At this time, they led a man and looked at him. It was a boy. The boy was a little thin. Pei Ziyun greeted him and said, "Why are uncle here?"

At this time, Zhang Huowen pulled the thin boy forward, and saw that the thin boy was a little shy and did not dare to come up, and did not speak much when he came up.

Zhang Liehuo's face was a little entangled and he started to say: "This is my nephew, the son of Widow Zhang in the village. When I saw the housekeeper of the Li family coming early in the morning, I knew that I would return the land, so I came and wanted to rent land for my nephew."

He paused, sighed deeply, and said, "My nephew's father went there early, and it was difficult for his mother to pull him up. His father was gambled and was bad at first, so he didn't leave any land when he went there. Now he is getting older, so I can't leave my face and ask you for love. For my sake, I rent three acres of land for my nephew to plant it. The rent is as much as I can, and I can only be considered a meal. It's all my thoughts as an uncle."

Pei Ziyun listened to what Zhang Liewoman said and was about to agree, when Pei Qian stepped forward: "Little Huzi, your mother, are you okay? I haven't seen you walk around recently!"

At this time, the thin boy raised his head and replied, "Mom is fine. It's just that the weather is a little cold recently and I've caught a cold, so I haven't left the door."

Pei Qian thought about it for a while and said to Ziyun: "My son, I know the situation of this family. My father is good at gambling, he has bad temper and has bet all over the country. It has been difficult and it is even more difficult than our family before. You can just accept it."

Pei Ziyun listened to his mother saying this and replied: "My family now has ten acres, and the county will reward me with five acres, but there is still room for me to connect. Since my mother said this, I will rent it to five acres."

When Zhang Liehuo heard this, he pulled his nephew to thank him repeatedly.

Everyone was happy. Seeing that nothing happened, Pei Ziyun said, "I'll go out."

In the afternoon, I went to the Taohuayuan Temple. When I arrived at the door, I saw that the peach blossoms were in full bloom and was about to knock on the door. The owner came back from outside and saw Pei Ziyun, and smiled: "It turned out to be you, come to follow Su'er? Su'er was also looking forward to it!"

Pei Ziyun bowed and said, "Thank you, the Guanzhu, for taking care of Ye Suer these days. This time he became a scholar, but came to see Ye Suer."

As he was talking, Ye Suer had a bright face and came out from behind and said, "I heard yesterday that there was a scholar in Woniu Village. I knew that Brother Pei, you will come to pick me up today."

At this time, the Taoist nun pursed her mouth, with tears in the corners of her eyes, as if she had cried.

"Thanks to the audience and Xiu'er to take care of me these days. Brother Pei comes to pick me up today, and I want to go back." Ye Suer looked at the audience and the Taoist nun Xiu'er reluctantly.

The woman was a little sad and said, "Ye Suer, there are some feelings these days. If you want to leave, I am a little reluctant to leave, but..."

Before he finished speaking, the beads on his ears fell slightly. She stopped and seemed to listen. She said in a blink of an eye: "I am best at divination, so I send a divination, which also makes my wish."

After saying that, before Ye Suer could reply, he took out a few copper coins and sprinkled them. Seeing the hexagram, the female crown's expression changed, and it was a little unstable. Ye Suer accompanied the Guanzhu and knew that the female crown was effective. She was a little surprised when she saw it, and asked, "What did the Guanzhu forget, she was so surprised."

The female crown looked a little complicated. After thinking for a while, she said, "Su'er, your disaster has not faded. I'm afraid there will be disaster when I go back this time. If I stay for a while, it can turn misfortune into a blessing."

Seeing the serious expression of the girl crown, Ye Suer bit her lip and looked a little struggling. She raised her head and asked, "Can the master calculate how much time I have to stay before I can go back?"

The female crown calculated by tying her fingers: "It only takes half a month, and the disaster will go away!"

"Brother Pei, what do you think?"

Pei Ziyun was a little surprised. The change in the female crown just now made him feel inappropriate, but he had no Taoism and didn't know what the changes had happened. After thinking about it, he still felt that it would be okay to stay for half a month. He happened to solve the Black Wind Thieves by himself, so he would naturally be worry-free.

He said, "Since the master said this, Suer, you can stay for half a month."

"Well, you will definitely come to pick me up then!" Ye Suer choked up.

"must!"

When he came back from Taohuayuan Temple, Pei Ziyun's face was a little wrong. After thinking about the life, he directly said to his mother: "Mother, I have to go to the county once to complete the procedures for the five acres of land!"

"This is a serious matter, but be careful on the road." Pei Qian said, "Let the village chief's ox cart be delivered!"

Not to mention that Pei Ziyun was uneasy, as if he had made a mistake. When he arrived in the county, he asked the coachman to go home and stayed at the inn. The owner of the shop boiled water and delivered food. It was already dark.

Pei Ziyun rested in the house for a while, then got up and asked, "Is it a night market today?"

"Today, it is the Chenghuang Temple Fair in the county. During the meeting period, merchants came early and set up mattresses along the street to build a continuous market for three consecutive days!" The boss replied immediately.

"It's this night market. I wonder if it's too early today." Pei Ziyun suppressed his chaotic mood and thought intently: "I remember in my previous life, a man bought a copper statue in the night market. When he opened it, he found that there were golden beads inside and made a fortune. He became famous in the village. The original owner was still envious and jealous."

"But I can't remember when it was, and I don't know if there was a stall today."

Pei Ziyun smiled indifferently: "The house is too stuffy, come out and have some breath."

As he said that, he came out. It was extremely clear that the sky was covered with dense stars. In fact, the streets were not wide-minded according to his vision, one by one, one by one, and one by one, and one by one.

But on both sides of the street, there are lanterns, characters and divination, small stalls, various commodity trading, and people gather to gamble, shouting and shouting, and people coming and going, which is really lively.

"No matter how many there are, they are only one thousand meters of stalls, you can find them one by one." After all, it was an ancient market, and the scale was limited. Pei Ziyun calmed down and walked over slowly. Just like those leisurely and good people, he walked around and bought some old things.

"This place sells food, definitely not."

“This is selling cloth, not!”

At this time, the crowds on the streets became increasingly crowded. Carts were pushing soup pots, donkeys carried fruits, people blowing sugar, and selling fried buns, and more and more.

Pei Ziyun's enthusiasm gradually improved, and he walked and looked at the vendors carefully.

"A mu of land is now sold for seven taels. Well, now it was founded. The population is not large, and the land is cheap. Remember that the land in the middle of the feudal dynasty was five or six times more expensive. Now you can buy more."

"Well, now Taizu founded the country, with large copper coins and a lot of copper, which is very popular among the people."

Before he knew it, Pei Ziyun had already flown to the City God Temple with the people. The City God has the City God, the Provincial City God, the County City God, and the County City God, but in fact it is only a level 2 - the County Government!

Even the county city god, the incense is pretty good. It is more than 100 meters high in the main hall and there is an open space in front of the temple. At this time, bamboo and wood set up a stage to sing opera. Pilgrims are pouring in. The hall is crowded with people. The burning incense makes flames appear in the copper cauldron, which is extremely hot, so I hurriedly retreated.

At this time, the crowds were getting more and more crowded. There were scholars walking with folding fans, and old farmers were discussing farm tools with people and asking if they could reduce the price. Many children ran around the road and looked at the candied haws. Pei Ziyun searched. Pei Ziyun searched and did not see anyone selling ancient statues. She felt a little disappointed. When she saw a shed, she sat with her: "A bowl of wontons!"

"Here you come!" The boss's wife responded readily, and soon brought it up. Pei Ziyun's eyes suddenly turned and was stunned.

I saw a small stall on the side of the wonton stall, which was squeezed inside and was a little invisible. At this time, I saw that it was mostly fragmented and old things, but in the lampstand, copper ladle, pot, bottle, bowl and plate, a statue of god with strange colors flashed under the lantern.

"It's not wasteful of effort when you get it!" Pei Ziyun's heart beat, but pretended to be nothing. After eating wontons, he went over to see it, took a look at the statue, "It's a bit heavy!"

"This is natural, solid copper, which was used to burn incense when my ancestors and grandfathers were old." A lame young man said, shouting again: "Come and buy it, it's all old items, and it's valuable!"

In addition to the statue of the gods, there are also some sacrificial tools. Many people talked about: "This prodigal son, whose ancestors have been rich, is easy to bet when he is passed on to him. If he loses, he will sell his home goods and his legs are broken."

Listening to this discussion, Pei Ziyun was even more sure that the weight of the statue was different. After weighing it, he felt that there was a very subtle collision sound inside. Recently, he practiced the mantra and the touch increased greatly. As soon as he weighed it, he felt it. He tried other statues, but there was no such sound. He asked, "How much does this statue cost."

"Five taels of silver, you can take it if you want it!" The lame young man waved his hand and said expressionlessly, as if he was a little numb.

You need to know what is inside, so you don’t hesitate at this time: “Okay, I bought it, I will clear the money and goods. This is five taels of silver, please pack it for me.”
