Chapter 6: The Struggle Between East and West

After all, it was an ancient era, and no noise such as car horns could be heard at night. Occasionally, there was only one or two chirps, or the call of the watchman.

After a good sleep, Yanran woke up early in the morning, stretched her body, and heard a noise outside.

"What happened outside?" Yanran washed her face, went downstairs and asked the proprietress who was sitting at the counter.

"Oh, Master, you're awake." The landlady, who was just sitting there blankly, frowned and said, "Young Master, you don't know yet, but I heard that the number one girl in Qunfang Courtyard, Ziying, has disappeared. No, the whole city is being searched.

By the way, I also heard that Mr. Long went to Qunfang Courtyard early in the morning, but when he saw Miss Ziying, he got angry and smashed Qunfang Courtyard into a mess."

"This girl Ziying must be very beautiful." Yanran asked pretending to be confused.

"It goes without saying that I heard that words such as "Sinking fish and falling wild goose" and "closing the moon and shying flowers" are not overused. It's just that life is too hard."

"What? Does the boss lady recognize her?"

"How do I recognize her? I heard that she was originally a young lady from the capital. She knew everything about music, chess, calligraphy and painting. Later, she got lost with her family and was sold to a brothel. I am not a man. I have heard about her no matter how I have seen her."

After a pause, he scanned the surroundings. Fortunately, there were not many people in the store, so he said softly: "I heard that she is the daughter of an official, but it is just hearsay. Even if it is true, no one dares to ask. Is she really the daughter of an official?

, wandering to this land of fireworks, if word spreads out, these beautiful buildings will be burned down and they will not be relieved."

"That's true. Beauty is so miserable!" Yan Ran nodded in agreement.

"It's not just that beauty is a disaster. Every day, not only many men go to Qunfangyuan just to catch a glimpse of her beauty, but also to listen to her play a piece of music. It is said that a person can be beautiful, and the music she plays is so captivating. That damn man in my family

, if I hadn’t watched closely every day, I might have gone.”

The landlady kept chattering, then turned to Yanran and smiled: "Does the young master also want to see something?"

Yanran waved her hands hurriedly: "The boss lady is joking. I have urgent matters, so I don't have time to look for flowers and ask the willows." As she said that, she took out some broken silver and didn't even count it: "Boss boss, I'll give you the rent."

"Oh, the young master is leaving now. He won't stay for a few more days." The landlady glanced at Hu Ni, but her hands were not idle. She took the silver and slipped it on Yanran's hand.

nnd, there were so many female perverts in ancient times. Yanran cursed in her heart and hurriedly walked out. This place was by no means a place where she could stay for a long time. Someone might find out if she wasn't careful and take her back. Although she was good at martial arts, who knew that this

Isn't Mo Xuguo a master? I used to see on TV that most brothels have some thugs. They can't beat many punches with their hands. I don't know how to do light kung fu, let alone wield a sword. I don't bring a pistol with me.

On the body. A good girl doesn't suffer the immediate consequences. Thirty-six strategies, I will dodge.

As he hurriedly walked out, Leng Hui was bumped into by someone and almost fell down, but Yan Ran got angry and said, "Who can walk without eyes?"

"How dare you! Master Long here, how dare you be so arrogant."

"Master Long?" Yanran was startled and glanced at the group of people. As expected, the leader was a slender, well-dressed man. His face should be very heroic, but his face was too murderous, which ruined his temperament.

Judging from his figure, he was the one who went to find him yesterday. Shouldn't this Mr. Long be in Qunfang Courtyard? Why did he drift here?

"Oh, is it Mr. Long? Come on, sit inside and put out the fire." The landlady quickly brought a chair over and laughed with her.

"I'm so angry that I need to calm down." Mr. Long sat down on the wicker chair, and the attendant next to him immediately picked up a fan to fan himself.

Yanran was shocked, but she didn't want him to recognize her, so she gently leaned against the door and tried to slip away.

"Where to go?" A voice threatened.

Yanran lowered her head and started to tremble. If Director Liu saw Yanran's bearded appearance, he would definitely blow his beard and glare. But Yanran couldn't care about the police's majesty now. The important thing was that she couldn't be recognized by others.

"Oh, Mr. Long, we adults don't care about the faults of small people. This is a cousin of mine. He doesn't understand the rules, so get out of here." The proprietress came over with tea, lightly kicked Yanran, and signaled Yanran to leave quickly.

Yanran left with gratitude to the landlady.

It seems that the lady boss is pretty good. I took it back when I scolded her for being lewd and so on. Yanran thought about it and came to the street.

Although Yishui City is not the capital city, it can be considered a prosperous city because it is not far from the capital city. There are many houses and spacious streets.

The streets are bustling with people, the vendors get up early, the cries are endless, and there are all kinds of things on display. Last night, I heard the woman in white say that this is not the capital yet, and she must go to the capital in order to track down her father.

Mother's whereabouts.

If there was nothing else, she really wanted to go shopping in the ancient market, but she was not in the mood now. She had to rush now, and there was nothing in the capital, so why bother at this moment. Yanran followed the ancients' way of bowing and asked politely

Fortunately, it's not far from the direction of the capital. It's almost eight o'clock now, and I'll probably arrive there at three or four in the afternoon (of course, the time was also estimated by Yanran).

Just when she was about to find a place to eat something, Yanran remembered the jewelry on her body. She had to find a place to exchange the jewelry for silver notes. It was too troublesome to carry these jewelry with her, and then she thought about what to do next.

After finding a pawn shop, Yanran decided to pawn these things. She didn't have time to sell them now, although the money would be less if they were pawned, after all, it was convenient and quick.

“Shopkeeper, let’s see how much these jewels of mine can be worth?”

Yanran took out a few items at random.

"Sir, would you like to give me a price?"

Seeing the shopkeeper squinting at those few things, Yanran intuitively told Yanran that these things are definitely worth a lot of money, so she said: "Twenty thousand yuan."

"Buy?" The shopkeeper's mind was confused.

"Ahem, you don't know what a piece of stuff is. You are mentally retarded. A piece is a yuan." Yanran picked up the paper fan she just bought from a hawker and fanned it. She was a little impatient and kept walking.

, how did you meet such an idiot.

"Dongdong? What is Dongdong? I have heard of Dongdong, winter melon, but why don't I know what Dongdong is?" The shopkeeper only paid attention to Dongdong. Fortunately, he did not notice the retard in Yanran's mouth, otherwise he would not be able to pinpoint it.

What trouble does it cause?

"Dongdong, Dongdong is just a thing." Why is it so difficult to speak?

"How can something be east and east? East is east and west is west. They are clearly two different directions." The shopkeeper was even more confused.

Yanran was just about to tell him that Dongdong is an Internet buzzword, but suddenly she realized that it was in ancient times. If I told him, the shopkeeper would definitely chase me and ask me what the Internet is, and next, I would also ask myself what a computer is?

"Forget it, just tell me how much this thing is worth." Yanran smiled bitterly.

"That's right, east is east and west is west. Young Master, it's up to you to make a price."

Yanran stretched out her hand. She seemed to have seen something like this on TV before. As long as she could get five hundred taels of silver, it would definitely be enough for her to spend some time.

"Five thousand taels of silver? No, no, young master, although these treasures are indeed rare items, they are not worth the price, at most two thousand." The shopkeeper waved his hands repeatedly.

"Two thousand is really valuable. Yanran was secretly glad that she had stretched out five fingers instead of five hundred. Otherwise, she would have fainted the shopkeeper out of joy, and she would have been charged with killing innocent people.

.

"At least three thousand." Yanran conceded. She was in a hurry and had no time to grind her teeth with them.

"Three thousand?" The shopkeeper weighed one of the necklaces and couldn't put it down.

"Yes, three thousand, not even a penny less. If it doesn't work, I will find someone else. Alas, if I hadn't been short of money recently, I wouldn't have pawned such a precious thing."

"Okay, three thousand is three thousand." Fearing that Yanran would change places, the shopkeeper quickly nodded in agreement and greeted the person behind him in a long tone: "Open the bank note, three thousand taels."

"Wait a minute, shopkeeper, give me twenty-nine pieces of one hundred taels, eight pieces of one hundred taels, and the rest into broken silver."

"Okay, sir, don't worry." As he spoke, the shopkeeper handed over the banknote: "Please order some, sir."

"Oh my god, three thousand taels." Yanran calculated in her mind, one tael of silver is worth seventy yuan, then, three thousand taels, wow, two hundred and one thousand,...the banknotes flew past her eyes one by one...
