Chapter 725 Two copper coins

The officer named Chen Shou was originally skeptical about the letters he received from his family, but after all, he was a veteran who went on a war with the army and had experienced several bloody battles. He had long seen Dazhen and the enemy's Tianshi, and was more cautious about such things. But now he had seen the word "Fu" and Chen Shou could almost determine that this thing was a treasure.

What else is there to say? Chen Shou now had a thought in his mind, to take down the word "Fu". Of course, he dared not forget what needs to be paid attention to in the letter, but first of all, he had to make sure that he could take down the treasure if he could take action.

Many people came around the young man's stall to look at his goods, which were exquisite carvings and some accessories. Chen Shou stepped back and arrived at the periphery, and several soldiers who came with him teased.

"This person is crazy about money. He dares to ask for ten taels of gold. This is enough to buy a good house."

"That's right, ten cents are almost the same!" "Uh, this word does look like a famous writer's pen, ten cents are still a bit cheaper."

"Then it's only one hundred quotas, no more."

Chen Shou walked closer to them, looked at the stall over there, and then whispered to ask his companions.

"How much money do you have? How much can you take out?"

"Ah? Brother Chen, what are you going to buy?" "What are you going to buy? Didn't you bring enough money?"

"Yes, I remember that my family asked me to bring some things back, but the money was not enough."

Chen Shou thought about it carefully. He had about seven or eight taels of silver and half a hanging copper coins on his face, and a twenty tael of silver bill and a ten tael of silver bill. However, the banknotes of the silver bills were not here and could not be exchanged for cash in the short term.

Chen Shou was a military master, and he was usually a good man, so when he wanted to help, everyone was happy to check his cash.

"I brought two taels." "I have four taels of silver and more than one hundred cents."

"I have one or two." "Uncle Du, I have a piece of gold, maybe one or two."

The crowd gathered together, not counting the silver notes, but the total amount of silver was worth more than forty taels. Chen Shou frowned.

"Not enough, it's still not enough..."

Others wondered.

"Uncle Chen, this is not enough?" "Brother Chen, what are you going to buy?"

"Isn't you really going to buy the word "Fu"?

Someone saw Chen Shou glanced at the stall over there frequently. After asking this, Chen Shou quickly smiled and shook his head.

"I do like the word "Fu". It looks like a famous writer's pen, but ten taels of gold are too much."

"that is……"

"Let's go, let's take a walk around."

Chen Shou greeted him and everyone walked towards him, but before leaving, Chen Shou approached the stall where there were fewer people at this moment. The man who was counting copper coins also looked up at him.

"Mr. Jun, what do you like? If you want to buy it, I will give you a little cheaper."

Chen Shou shook his head and looked at the word "Fu" on the basket, looking like he had just written it for a while.

"This word..."

"You want to buy this word?"

The young man was stunned for a moment and subconsciously reached out and pressed his hand on the word "Fu".

"You should stop selling this word. No matter whether it has been opened or not, just keep it well and take it home."

Seeing that Chen Shou was not trying to buy it, the man became careless again.

"This is not a problem for Jun Ye. I have a sense of responsibility. If I am low, I will definitely not sell it."

Sure enough, his surname was Zhang, and Chen Shou nodded.

"Then put away the word. Youdao means wealth is not exposed, and the same is true for this word. By the way, when will you usually come to set up a stall?"

Zhang Shu scratched his head, what happened to this sergeant? But after all, the other party seemed to be an officer and dared not neglect it.

"This is hard to say. If you don't come when you have good luck, you will not come. If you come to set up a stall, it will usually be almost noon."

"Um."

Chen Shou nodded, looked at the word "Fu" again, and left with the soldiers around him.

After Zhang Shu set up a stall again, he saw that there was not much business, so he put away his things and carried them on the shoulder pole and left. He hummed a small song on the way back. He was in a good mood. He reached into his arms to weigh the wallet. The sound of copper coins and broken silver colliding with each other was more pleasant than the singing.

"Hehe, I sold it for almost one or two!"

Zhang Su glanced at the word "Fu" that had been rolled up in one of the baskets. He knew that it must have been shining. Since he could remember, the word "Fu" has never faded. The elders in the family also valued it very much.

But Zhang Shu felt that the word "Fu" was just a little bit of avoiding evil, and even snakes, insects, rats and ants could not drive away the Zhang family. The Zhang family was just a little wealthier than ordinary families. They had a slightly larger house, but they were not considered a wealthy family with a rich family. They had never heard of any kind of wealth at home. They were all made by the older generation who worked hard and frugal.

Therefore, the word "Fu" is not so mysterious in Zhang Shi, who has been watching it for nearly twenty years since he was a child. Of course, this word has not been posted outside since the Zhang family moved, but has been in the cabinet in the collector. This has been hidden for almost ten years.

The family has been doing well over the years. In fact, the Zhang family almost forgot the word "Fu". It was not until a few days ago when Zhang Shu was looking for something to pawn, that he rediscovered the word "Fu" that he thought had been lost long ago, but Zhang Shu didn't say anything.

...

After Chen Shou returned to the military camp, he began to become absent-minded. For two days, his mind was full of the word "Fu" he had seen before.

After he had sex these two days, he would go to the market to visit, but he never saw the man named Zhang Shu again, let alone he had not raised enough money, which made Chen Shou a little worried about gains and losses.

Today, when Chen Shou came back from the market again, he passed by a white camp. Seeing that the person inside was writing, he had something to do, so he thought if he was writing a letter home to ask, but he felt that the letters back and forth might be several months, which was too far away.

The chief clerk in the tent looked up outside, and saw that Chen Shou wandering for a while and was about to leave, he called him.

"Uncle Chen? Are you in trouble?"

Chen Shou stopped and felt irritated. Thinking that the chief clerk was good at learning and that he had a good relationship with him, he might be able to relieve his depression, so he walked in.

Chen first bowed his hand and then sighed.

"Mr. Qi, I am really depressed."

The chief clerk was named Qi Yuantian, who was originally from the Gyeonggi Prefecture. When Dazhen and Zu Yuecai started the war, they mentioned the three-foot Qingfeng and went directly to the north, just like many passionate scholars.

Qi Yuantian stood up and returned the gift, then signaled Chen Shou to sit on the stool on the side. He quickly ended the book in his hand, pressed the seal, and then put down his pen and looked at Chen Shou.

"Uncle Chen, why are you bored?"

"Hey, I'm interested in...I'm interested in something I like, but it's too expensive. The person who sells this thing hasn't appeared recently, and I feel itchy!"

Qi Yuantian was a little curious. He knew that Chen Shou was a good person and had a clear mind. Although he was just a team of Du Boss, his superiors were actually interested in promoting him to Yi Qu Junhou. Moreover, he only received military pay in the last battle. The credit was not completely calculated. With Chen Shou's performance last time, this promotion should be confirmed.

"Oh? What's it?"

"Yes... hey, it's a rare thing, I can't explain it clearly. By the way, Mr. Qi, how much silver do you have to lend me some? "

"I?"

Qi Yuantian was a little funny and took out his wallet and looked in. In addition to copper coins, there were also some silver ingots and broken silver and broken gold.

"It's probably worth a hundred taels of silver."

Chen Shou was stunned.

"So much? Can you lend me some? 30 taels, 30 taels are enough!"

"Thirty taels? This is not a small amount!"

Qi Yuantian smiled.

"Then, will Mr. Qi borrow it?"

"Borrow, can Qi trust Mr. Chen's character?"

Chen Shou felt much better now.

"Hahahaha, thank you Mr. Qi, thank you! Alas, it's a pity that money alone is not enough..."

Qi Yuantian looked at him and lowered his head to sort out gold and silver from his wallet. He was not like some soldiers. Sometimes he would go to spend money after conquering the city and vent his money. He saved a lot of rewards, and his position was not low, so he had a lot of money left.

After picking in the purse for a few times, a cluster of golden light flashed, causing Qi Yuantian to pause, and then he tweaked his fingers in the purse. There were two copper coins inside that seemed to be more eye-catching than other copper coins.

"Mr. Qi? What's wrong?"

"Ah? Oh, it's okay, it's okay, thirty taels, right? I just happen to have a silver scale..."

Seeing Qi Yuantian taking out the complete or scattered gold and silver to weigh it, Chen Shou thought about the word "Fu" and suddenly asked again.

"Mr. Qi, what do you think is a blessing?"

In fact, Qi Yuantian always looks deep in his pocket every time he takes gold and silver, but he still finds it interesting when he hears this question, so he thinks about it and looks up and answers.

"Actually, according to Qi's opinion, the so-called blessing is not a great wealth or a wealthy person, nor is it a rich and elegant dress and food to support him."

"What is that?"

"I remember when I was still studying, I discussed this issue with Brother Deng. What is blessing? The family is well-off, the family is harmonious, there is no disaster, no illness or pain, no hatred, nor is it hated by others. In general, life is smooth, life is comfortable and comfortable, and there is no too much trouble. Parents live a long life, marriage is virtuous, and children and grandchildren are all blessings. Look at this place of Zu Yue, how many people can have such a family?"

Chen Shou listened deeply and nodded and agreed.

"Mr. Qi is right. In the past, Zu Yue, the rich family was easily missed by others, and the powerful family was trapped in a whirlpool..."

"That's the reason."

Qi Yuantian also weighed gold and silver at this time.

"It's almost thirty-two taels, it's not easy to divide. Uncle Chen, please use it first."

"Oh, thank you Mr. Qi!"

Chen Shou stood up and bowed, and then took the gold and silver handed over by the other party. The heavy feeling made him feel more at ease.

"Mr. Chen said goodbye. Mr. Qi can come to me if you have something to do. I will definitely help you if you can do it!"

"Yeah, okay, no gift."

Qi Yuantian also stood up and returned the gift. When Chen Shou left, he immediately sat down and took out two copper coins from his purse. Once the money was taken out, it looked ordinary again, but the feeling was still there.

"This money is...right!"

Qi Yuantian suddenly recalled that before joining the army, it seemed that a gentleman with grace had left him two cents of tea in a teahouse in Gyeonggi Prefecture. But after thinking about it carefully, he couldn't remember what the man looked like.

‘No, I lost my wallet once when I was in the army, and I should have lost the copper coins together… Could it be that two?’

Qi Yuantian frowned and thought for a while, and intuition told him that these two copper coins were the two that were the ones they had at the time.

"Uh, the battle is almost over, and the Chinese New Year is coming soon. Should I go to the market and buy something?"

Because of Chen Shou's words, Qi Yuantian also wanted to go to the market.
