Chapter 6 Five taels of silver

But how big can two coins of silver be, and how easy is it to catch a silver bean as big as your little finger from a distance of several meters?

So after a while of people coming and going, the two pieces of silver were still there, but they only caused sighs.

Yun'er stared at the guests with wide eyes, looking at the guests sighing sadly, and then showed a charming smile: "Heh."

Yun'er was thinking with a smile on her face.

"This man's heart has been carefully thought out by the young master."

Another day passed in the hustle and bustle. It wasn't until there were no more people on the street that Shen Lie and Yun'er returned to the inn chatting and laughing.

After pouring the yellow copper coins out of the purse, Yun'er counted them carefully one by one, her little face turning into a smile again.

While Shen Lie was watching with a smile, he couldn't help but lightly scratch her straight and beautiful nose, which made Yun'er squeal.

"Master!"

Shen Lie agreed beautifully: "Hey!"

This little voice is so sweet.

It's still a clip sound.

While the master and servant were having fun, it started to rain that night.

After an autumn rain, the weather suddenly turned cold.

At night.

After a tiring day, Yun'er went to bed early after washing herself, curling up her delicate body under the quilt, with only her little head exposed.

On her delicate face as big as a palm, she looked so cute and innocent when sleeping. It was obvious that she must be very at ease at the moment.

And Shen Lie sat in the warm inn room, put his cold feet into the wooden basin filled with hot water, and let out a groan of pleasure.

“Comfortable!”

In silence.

From the inn room, the sweet sound of pipa could be faintly heard, and a singing girl sang babblingly.

"The sky is blue, the ground is yellow, and the west wind is strong. Wild geese from the north are flying south. Whoever comes at dawn and is drunk in the frost forest will always shed tears when leaving."

A melodious and graceful song "The West Chamber" made Shen Lie narrow his eyes and listen to the music while scalding his feet. He seemed to have completely integrated into this era.

So time passed like this day by day. Although it was tiring to go out to the stall every day, the master and the servant lived a fulfilling life every day.

Vaguely, Shen Lie seemed to have found the feeling of drifting to the north.

At that time, he was very busy every day, worked very seriously, saved up the small amount of income, and then looked forward to the future.

After thinking about it, Shen Lie leaned back on his chair and fell into deep thought, his deep eyes shining brightly in the darkness.

In the blink of an eye, it was a month later.

In the early morning, the cold wind blew.

It was already early winter, the morning sky was overcast, a biting north wind was blowing, and charcoal pots were placed in the inn room.

As usual, Shen Lie got up early before dawn, did a few stretching exercises, and then ran out of the inn.

After running in the cold wind and sweating all over, I hurried back to the inn.

When the sun rose, Shen Lie and Yun'er had already dressed up. The master and servant walked out of the inn, chatting and laughing while walking on the frost-covered streets.

Looking at Yun'er's rosy little face, Shen Lie walked quickly and said with a smile: "Is it cold?"

Yun'er shook her head vigorously and said with a smile: "It's not cold."

The two of them chatted and walked excitedly towards the alley. Along the way, they kept saying hello to the neighbors they met.

"Good morning Aunt Li."

"Third uncle...slow down."

After a period of time, the old neighbors seemed to have adapted to Shen Lie's change, and they began to talk behind their backs, saying that this was called a prodigal son who can never change his fortune.

This month has been very busy.

Shen Lie also made his first pot of gold in this era. It was not a big pot of gold. After working hard for a month, after deducting costs, accommodation, food and drink, he made a total of more than five taels of silver.

Five taels of silver is actually not much. In terms of purchasing power in this era, it is equivalent to five or six thousand yuan.

But in the eyes of the old neighbors on Willow Street, Shen Lie's abilities were already extraordinary, so after dinner...

The name Shen Lie became famous among the neighbors.

"Giggle."

Amid the sweet laughter, Yun'er's face turned red.

Her delicate and slender figure, after a month of nourishment, has become visibly plump to the naked eye. She has also tied her long hair into braids. She is jumping and jumping as she walks, looking a little more youthful and energetic. .

But as soon as the two of them walked out of the alley, they stopped, and Yun'er's chuckle stopped abruptly.

Shen Lie also frowned slightly, looking not far away, he saw that the spot where the master and servant had set up a stall every day for a month was actually occupied by someone.

There were seven or eight men occupying the stall, and the leader was a short, stocky, middle-aged man with a sinewy face and rosacea. He didn't look like a nice guy.

In addition to this middle-aged man with rosacea, there were also a few younger ones, in their twenties, but their eyes were a bit sinister.

Seven or eight people occupied the spot where Shen Lie usually set up his stall. They also placed a few big rocks on the stall. They were sitting on the stone mountain chatting incessantly, and laughing wildly from time to time.

See this scene.

Shen Lie's brows furrowed deeper, and he knew that he had met some ruffians in the capital. Judging from their demeanor, it was clear that these ruffians were here to cause trouble.

Rascals are a major feature of this era, especially in Gyeonggi Province. Due to the large population and prosperous commerce, there are also many rogues on the streets.

Looking at the soap clothes on these rogues, Shen Lie seemed to remember something, and his expression changed slightly. He knew this soap clothes.

This group of people is the famous Zaoyi Gang in this area. Different from guilds such as the Cao Gang, the Salt Gang, and the Ma Gang, the Zaoyi Gang is a pure rogue gang.

On weekdays, he bullies men and women on Willow Street and collects protection money. It can be said that he does many bad things.

Although this place is at the feet of the Emperor, it is not peaceful.

This is the case in this era. The more prosperous and beautiful the capital city is, the more gangs, large and small, are everywhere, such as the Beggar Gang and the Zaoyi Gang, which are very arrogant.

There are even the White Lotus Sect and the Maitreya Sect that have been repeatedly banned, causing civil unrest at every turn.

What a mess!

Shen Lie knew that he had made a little money recently and was being targeted by the Zaoyi Gang.

During the conversation.

Those gangsters in soap clothes looked over with evil intentions, looked at Shen Lie with sinister eyes, and then looked at Yun'er.

The last pair of feminine eyes fell on Yun'er's graceful waist and hips, flashing with an unconcealable heat.

Yun'er was a little scared when she was stared at. She tugged on Shen Lie's sleeves and called softly: "Young Master..."

Shen Lie smiled and said softly: "Don't be afraid."

The stall was occupied...

Shen Lie said softly: "Let's change places."

Yun'er nodded, lowered her head, and hid her body behind Shen Lie, as if doing so would bring her some sense of security.

So the two of them left quickly, carrying large and small bags of things. The two pairs of feminine eyes behind them gradually became vicious.

After a while, under a big willow tree opposite the entrance of the alley, Shen Lie and Yun'er put down their bags and began to set up the stall again.

Speaking of which, this Willow Street is not long in the first place. The places where houses can be built on both sides of the street have already been covered with shops, and there are very few places where stalls can be set up.

Shen Lie couldn't walk far either, it was about a hundred meters away from where the gangsters were standing.

With the idea that doing more is worse than doing less, Shen Lie lowered his head and started working silently, while using the corner of his eye to look at the seven or eight rogues opposite, observing the movements of the group of rogues.
