Yan Bing's mind raced rapidly, looking for ways to resolve this topic crisis.
If we really follow Wang Wensheng’s topic, I might die!
No exaggeration!
Not to mention starving to death, let’s talk about having nowhere to go at night and having to sleep on the streets...
If in the past, the weather wasn't too cold, I could just endure it and it would be over.
But now she has a pretty face.
What if you meet a few drunken men at night and see "her" sleeping soundly on the roadside, and then you feel malicious and guilty, and then kill her...
Will die!
Thinking of this, Yan Bing's whole body trembled.
After thinking hard for a long time, I couldn't find a suitable reason. I didn't know how to speak, so the other party spoke first.
"Having said that, although my younger brother is a few years younger than my sister, he is still a man anyway. He shouldn't take advantage of my sister for nothing. How about this? My sister gave me a gift, and I will also give my sister a gift. We treat it as a brother-in-law relationship between you and me.
How is it?"
Hearing this, Yan Bing couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief, but still had a standard "business smile" on his face and said, "I wonder, what can my brother give me as a gift?"
Stop talking nonsense, I think silver is the most suitable!
But Yan Bing could only think about it in his heart, not say it out loud.
Vincent lowered his head and reached into his clothes to fumble around...
Yan Bing's heart trembled, and he shouted in his heart, money! Money! Money!
Snap…….
Then Wang Wensheng took out a book from his arms.
Yan Bing's heart suddenly sank, as if he had fallen into a nine-foot ice cave...
"Sister, this book... is a record of what I saw and heard in the Faraway Land brought back by my uncle. It is the only one in the entire Great Liang. I never leave this book. I read it every day and have already known it by heart. This is
This is my most beloved thing, how about giving it to my sister?"
It can be seen that the little boy seems to really treasure this book. He said it was a gift, but his eyes never left the book. He seemed to have made a lot of determination before giving it away.
Book……………….
I have been reading books for almost twenty years, and you give me books!?
The stack of ten books I have read is as tall as yours!
You actually gave me a book!?
Do I need a book now!?
Is this thing edible!?
Or can I use it as a quilt to cover me when I get cold while sleeping on the street!?
I’m so special………….
Wait, I’m a woman now!?
yes!
"Haha, a gentleman doesn't take away someone's love. My brother actually regards this book as the most precious thing in his body. How can my sister take away love with a sword? Besides, my sister has grown up in a foreign land for so many years. What she has seen and heard has been
Is it enough? Let’s change it to something else.”
Hearing this, Wang Wensheng was overjoyed and extremely happy.
"If this is the case, then my foolish brother will accept my sister's kindness..."
Isn’t this the right thing to say!? Do you want to get it for nothing!?
Yan Bing, who learned a lesson and gained wisdom, quickly interrupted and said: "Sister, although I don't like money, I am a girl after all. I still have an unavoidable love for common things such as pearls and jade. Sister, look at this jade pendant on your body.
Excellent, I don’t know if I can…”
Before Yan Bing could finish speaking, Wang Wensheng hurriedly stuffed the book back into his chest, took off his jade pendant and handed it out. He said as if he was afraid that the other party would regret it: "Sister, if you like it, take it."
So simple!? Is there something wrong with my vision!? Is this jade worthless??
Just when Yan Bing regretted this decision, the book boy next to him opened his mouth.
"Master, I spent thousands of taels of silver to buy that for you!? In exchange for this piece of paper..."
Thousand taels!?
Yan Bing was overjoyed when he heard this.
I just heard someone shouting, "A sesame seed cake costs two cents, but this jade pendant... I won't starve to death just eating sesame seed cakes for the rest of my life!!"
It is said that people are poor but have short ambitions. It is also sad that a top student with modern scientific knowledge can only think of eating sesame cakes to survive after receiving thousands of taels of silver.
But Yan Bing only came back to this after he sent away the money-giving boy.
At this moment, he couldn't imagine how many things there were.
He quickly took out Japanese yen and euros from his wallet and handed them over together.
Said: "This jade pendant is so precious. It's not good for my sister to take advantage of you. No, please give these 10,000 taels of yen and 100 taels of euros to my dear brother."
Yan Bing was not ashamed of his words, but he comforted himself in his heart, I didn't mean to lie to you. This yen is indeed worth ten thousand, and this euro is indeed worth one hundred, but it's just worthless in this world...
There is no other way, but in order to survive, I can only lose my temper and lose my face.
"Ten thousand taels!!!???"
The book boy next to him opened his mouth as if his jaw dropped in shock at this number.
Yes, look!
The numbers above are called Arabic numerals. This one represents one, and the next one is called zero. If you put a zero at the end, one becomes 10. Add another zero to make it one hundred, and four zeros make it ten thousand.
And this one, you see, there are only two zeros after 1, so it is one hundred taels."
The two people opposite him were dumbfounded by the lie.
"This number is so interesting. It's very easy to write..."
After receiving the banknotes, Wang Wensheng observed and said to himself.
That's definitely easier to write than the word "ten thousand"... That's why our leaders popularized simplified Chinese characters. Otherwise, even a primary school essay would have to be written in thousands of strokes.
Of course, Yan Bing could only think about this in his heart.
Wen Sheng pondered for a while, then turned to the book boy and said: "Wen Pei, bring your wallet..."
"Young Master?" Hearing this, the boy stopped talking.
"Bring it here."
Wang Wensheng increased his tone.
The book boy felt weak and took out his wallet from his arms.
This is a class society... A child of eleven or twelve can make a book boy who is several years older than him obey any order without even daring to fart.
The book boy tremblingly handed over the purse.
Yan Bing glanced casually.
This purse is made of very sophisticated materials and exquisite workmanship. A bunch of blooming lotus flowers are embroidered on the front of the purse...
Even water droplets are embroidered on several lotus leaves, which is extremely vivid.
Vincent took the purse, put his little hand into the purse and took out a stack of paper tickets, clicked them, frowned deeply, and glared at the book boy.
The book boy hurriedly answered: "Master, my grandmother told me that you are young and should not bring too much money with you, for fear of causing trouble..."
well……,
Wang Wensheng sighed, had no choice but to stuff the money back into his wallet, and said: "My sister is so grand and my brother feels ashamed. It's better to do this..." My sister will follow me to the house and pick out some jade pieces that are pleasing to my eye. Otherwise, my brother will really feel bad.
It’s such a disadvantage for my sister..."
"Ah?" Yan Bing was stunned.
In fact, Yan Bing's attention had just been on calculating the banknotes and calculating the number of sesame seed cakes to buy, and he didn't listen carefully to what they said.
Seeing that Yan Bing was distracted, Wensheng repeated it again, hoping that Yan Bing would be a guest at his house, show his kindness to the landlord, and make up for the remaining silver coins at the same time, so as not to cause her too much loss.
To your house?
What if I meet your uncle and talk to me about some strange things? He knows what the outside world is like in the 21st century. He doesn’t know what era it is outside now. If he leaks the information in a few words, he will be taken directly from the house.
If it is sent to the government, wouldn’t it be a failure?
Thinking of this, Yan Bing changed his mind and said: "It doesn't matter, I don't need the few thousand taels of silver. Just now, my sister was looking at your purse and she was fascinated. The workmanship is very exquisite and she likes it very much. Why don't you just take the rest?"
The top of your purse is enough."
"What the hell!? Purse!?" The book boy who had been submissive just now became anxious and continued: "I call you sister respectfully, but you can't stop treating yourself like an outsider, right? I'm afraid you've also seen the lotus on this purse.
Come on, not everyone can do this..."
"Wen Bai!!!"
A roar interrupted the book boy's words.
At this moment, Wang Wensheng still looked like a teenage boy. The aura of a superior person rose up. Just two words made the book boy shrink and tremble like chaff.
"Sister, don't worry about him. Maybe he has been in the house for a long time and has become tainted with the worldly atmosphere. Don't blame me. Since my sister has spoken, if you like it, just take it with him."
After saying that, he took out the purse in his arms and handed it over with both hands.
In this situation, even though Yan Bing was not experienced in the world, he could tell that this child's identity was not simple.
But Yan Bing was well-educated, honest and kind to others, which made Yan Bing unable to reach out to pick up the purse for a while, but he didn't... Thinking about how long and difficult the days would be after that, he simply calmed down and said in his heart: This is
Even if I owe you a debt once, if we meet again in the future, I will repay you twice as much!
"Then it would be disrespectful for my sister to refuse." After Yan Bing said that, he took the purse.
Of course, that also includes the banknotes inside...
"Why did sister say this? It's because the younger brother took advantage of the elder sister, and the younger brother still wants to express his gratitude to his elder sister." After Wang Wensheng finished speaking, a hearty smile flashed across his face, making Yan Bing unable to open his eyes...
What a good child..., wuwuwu, what have I done..., my conscience is uneasy...
Yan Bing smiled back on the surface, but in his heart he was deeply blaming himself for what he had done.
"Then let's get up and go to the book market?" Yan Bing said sincerely.
"I..., I won't go today..." Wang Wensheng muttered.
"Why is this?"
"Pockets are tight."
"My treat!"
……………….
………………………….
The book boy's face was a bit confused... From the first time he saw this beautiful girl, his heart was pounding, but now he hates her so much.
Wen Pei shouted in his heart:
Your treat!?
What are you asking for?
Isn’t that all my young master’s money!?
Just ten thousand taels for whatever you want!
You said ten thousand taels is ten thousand taels!!!???
Are you treating my young master as a fool!!??
……………….
…………………….
Although I was very angry, I didn't dare to say it because of the young master's face, so I could only say in my heart that Bing's ancestors had sent greetings to them all over the eighteenth generation.
"Thank you for your kindness, sister, but I have already suffered a loss just now. How can I take advantage of my sister again?"
Vincent looked apologetic and declined politely.
"That's the case, then sister won't force it. We'll see you again someday if we have the chance."
Yan Bing was in a hurry to escape, so he got off the slope.
There is nothing I can do, staying with this young man is too painful, the torture of "conscience"...
As soon as these words came out, Wang Wensheng and Shutong were stunned.
The book boy said: What do you mean!? This is the end!?
My young master just wants to be polite!
Shouldn't you be polite to my young master when he comes back!?
Wen Pei suddenly changed his mind and thought: This guy is so shameless in doing things, the money he sold my young master must be fake money!!??
With this thought in mind, the book boy quickly asked: "I haven't asked my sister for her name and where she lives. I will move around more in the future, and my young master will come to ask my sister for advice on things I don't understand."
Yan Bing was also stunned. Was he alert?
Did I mess up my performance!?
Although I was thinking about it, I couldn't delay saying: "My surname is Yan, and my courtesy name is...Qihua! I live... behind Mingde Building! I plan to buy a house here, so I don't have a specific residence yet."
Hearing this, Wang Wensheng had nothing wrong and just nodded.
The book boy was so angry that his mouth was filled with smoke.
My heart is shouting to the depths of my soul: Is this the name I thought of!??
It’s definitely the name I just thought of!!!???
This woman had the nerve to show me a confident smile!!
How can anyone give their own name and still need to think about it!??
Buying real estate!!??
Just buy it with the money you cheated from my young master!??
I’m so angry!!!
With this thought in his mind, he subconsciously grabbed Yan Bing's sleeve.
"??What does this mean??" Yan Bing was startled by this catch, but pretended to be calm and asked.
Wen Pei also felt a little embarrassed by this question, and quickly explained: "I suddenly thought of something and didn't ask my sister for fear that my sister would be impatient. Since then, there is a huge crowd, and no matter how difficult it is to meet, I just follow my heart."
, so I have to do this, forgive me, forgive me." He said this, but his hands did not loosen, but clenched them tighter.
This thing...,
Just now he looked submissive, but unexpectedly, his eloquence is quite good. Sure enough, the scholarly family cultivated by a scholarly family is not comparable to ordinary people.
Yan Bing knew in his heart that the book boy was suspicious, but he thought: the coins I sold to them were genuine coins, so why should I feel guilty?
Then he said: "Little brother, just ask, it's just that men and women are not intimate. Isn't it inappropriate for you to grab your sister's sleeve in public like this?"
Wang Wensheng couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed, and quickly ordered: "Wen Pei! What do you mean? Why don't you let go!?"
"Master, don't be anxious. I have a question to ask my sister of the Yan family. As long as my sister can answer it, I am willing to go back to the house to receive the punishment." It seemed that the book boy was trying his best. He still grabbed Yan Bing's sleeve and refused to let go and continued.
: “I’d like to know how to tell the authenticity of this foreign bank note? Is there any secret mark?”
No wonder he was still fanciful about me at first, but then he gradually turned 180 degrees, and unexpectedly, he was still a loyal servant...
Thinking of this, I have a somewhat changed view of this book boy.
It's a pity that this is what I've been waiting for, Yan Bing thought to himself.
Smiling slightly, he turned around and said to Wang Wensheng: "Brother, please take any of the foreign currencies that my sister gave you just now and look at it in the sun. You will know that ordinary people cannot imitate the ingenuity of foreign currencies."
Wang Wensheng raised his hand and looked at the foreign currency toward the sun. A human face suddenly appeared from the blank space on the banknote, causing Wang Wensheng to let out a soft cry in surprise.
Put it down, turned it over and took another look, and the face disappeared again.
Wang Wensheng tried it several times and was so amazed that he smiled and said to Wen Pei: "What a surprise, Wen Pei, come and see."
The book boy looked puzzled, then reached out for the banknotes handed over by the young master, and placed them under the sun.
The book boy was so surprised that he said "Huh?"
Even the hand that was tightly grasping Yan Bing's sleeve loosened subconsciously.
Seeing that the misunderstanding was solved, Yan Bing straightened the wrinkled sleeves and continued: "Put this note flat in front of your eyes. If you deflect it slightly from left to right, you will find that the color of the ink on it will also change.
.”
Wang Wensheng and Shutong did as they were told, and as expected, they felt like a god.
Yan Bing chuckled.
Xin said: It’s just modern standard anti-counterfeiting technology.
Watermark, color-changing ink, and no purple light, otherwise it will scare your jaw off.
"What, do you think ordinary people can imitate this kind of anti-counterfeiting technology?"
Yan Bing said.
"You can't imitate it! Of course you can't imitate it!"
Wang Wensheng was like a fool who had found a treasure. He refused to take his eyes off this ten dollar bill for a moment.
"What about this little brother? Do you have any other questions to ask?"
Hearing this, the book boy hurriedly handed the money to the young master, turned around and bowed his arms to Yan Bing. "I just blamed the Yan family's sister wrongly. I'm just a little kid, and my heart is too small to judge a gentleman's heart! I'm really ashamed. I hope my sister will respect you."
!”
"That's all, that's all. Your loyalty is rare." Yan Bing said, then turned to Wang Wensheng and said, "My dear brother, it is a blessing for me to have such a loyal servant. Don't really punish him."
"This son is suspicious and has wrongly blamed his sister. He must be punished." Wang Wensheng said this, but he smiled and helped the book boy who refused to get up...
What a pair of loyal ministers and wise masters... It makes me envious when I see them. Why don't I travel through time and find such a family?
Thinking of this, Yan Bing couldn't help but sigh in his heart again.
Wang Wensheng, who originally wanted to talk to Yan Bing for a few more words, had to exchange a few pleasantries because of this embarrassing scene and then retreated home.
Yan Bing bid farewell to the two of them.
Just now I just took a cursory glance at a few banknotes, but I didn't know the denomination. Now I found a deserted corner and started counting my belongings. I didn't know it, but Yan Bing was shocked when he saw it.
