Chapter 9 There is no wrong nickname, only the wrong name
After not being out for too long, Lin Wanru returned to the courtyard with some simple but extremely clean clothes.
Jiang Fan changed into it in the bathroom. It fit him well, but the rough linen stuck to his skin, which made him feel quite uncomfortable.
Knowing that it took about half an hour to make money, plus the round trip time to Heyang City to buy gold jewelry, it would take about two hours even if he rushed slowly, so he simply took Lin Wanru to chat again.
Although I had already chatted with Lin Wanru for an hour before, I still had a rough understanding of the world.
But after all, it is not specific and detailed.
Now that you have decided to rely on the ability to travel to reach the top of your life, you must understand the world as comprehensively as possible.
Only in this way can we find more value differences between the two worlds.
Different from the previous communication process, where Lin Wanru basically explained the general situation, in this communication, Jiang Fan was in the position of leading the topic.
The focus of the inquiry also focused on all aspects of various details.
As Lin Wanru told everything she knew and gave exhaustive answers, Jiang Fan also learned more and more about the world.
However, there is always a doubt in my heart that cannot be resolved.
That's... why is Lin Wanru speaking Mandarin?
Not only Lin Wanru, but also the second uncle who just broke into the courtyard and that second uncle's son all spoke Mandarin.
According to Lin Wanru's explanation, this accent belongs to the official dialect of the Zhou Dynasty. It has been popular all over the world since the last dynasty. When the Zhou Dynasty changed, it was still used.
But the key point is... why Mandarin?
If languages are connected, then words must also be connected!
Two completely different parallel worlds, but sharing the same language and characters, are destined to share the same origin in terms of cultural inheritance!
So where does this same origin come from?
Is it also related to this implicit connection that I suddenly have the ability to travel back and forth between the two worlds?
These questions kept popping up in Jiang Fan's mind, causing Jiang Fan to gradually cool down from his initial excitement when he discovered that he could travel through time.
After chatting with Lin Wanru for a long time, this question always lingered in his mind, making Jiang Fan's mood become a little gloomy.
Even Lin Wanru was aware of it and couldn't help but ask, wondering if Jiang Fan was in any trouble.
It wasn't until this moment that Jiang Fan suddenly realized that he was actually a bit mediocre.
Even if there really is some inexplicable mysterious connection between the two worlds, what does it have to do with him?
He is just a small person. As long as he can change his life through the sudden ability to travel between two worlds, that is enough! As for the other things, he does not need to think too much!
After clarifying his thoughts, Jiang Fan became relaxed again.
Lin Wanru was keenly aware of Jiang Fan's changes, and a puzzled expression appeared on her face, but she didn't ask any more questions.
At this moment, there was a sudden knock on the main door of the courtyard.
Lin Wanru saluted Jiang Fan Yingying, then turned around and opened the main door of the courtyard.
A bald man, at least about two meters tall and as tall as an iron tower, walked in from the door.
"Miss, it's all done. Seven guans and 530 coins were exchanged for a gold Buddha weighing eight dan! The price of copper seems to have gone up a bit recently, but I can exchange for a little more gold than usual."
The strong man's voice was like a bell. While speaking, he handed a golden Buddha into Lin Wanru's hand.
Lin Wanru nodded, didn't say much, just turned around and handed the golden Buddha to Jiang Fan.
But after seeing Jiang Fan, the strong man couldn't help but his eyes lit up. He rubbed his bald head, walked forward curiously, and said angrily: "Miss, why is there a young master in the house? You don't want to introduce him?"
"
Lin Wanru glanced at the strong man and said softly: "Jiang Fan, we... are old friends of the Lin family."
"An old friend of the Lin family?"
The strong man stared at Jiang Fan with curiosity, then clasped his hands and said solemnly: "Mr. Jiang, my name is Su Xiaonuan, and I am a servant of the Lin family."
Su...Xiao Nuan?!
Jiang Fan looked blank, and his first reaction was that he heard wrongly.
Especially when looking at the iron tower-like body of the strong man in front of him, there is no way to connect it with his name "Xiao Nuan".
This... style of painting is wrong!
"When Xiao Nuan was born, the seventh uncle said that he was too hard-faced and difficult to feed. It was best to give him a softer name to get rid of the excessive yang energy innately. That's why Xiao Nuan's parents gave Xiao Nuan a name.
Got this name."
Lin Wanru was not surprised by Jiang Fan's reaction and explained in a calm tone.
"I see."
Jiang Fan suddenly realized.
But I felt a bit dumbfounded in my heart. People in this world... are really superstitious.
"Xiao Nuan, nothing's wrong. You can go back first and tell everyone that you don't have to worry about the food problem. I will find a way to solve it."
Lin Wanru said softly to Su Xiaonuan.
"Miss, we all have hands and feet, so don't worry about food. Can a living person suffocate to death? There is always something to eat."
Su Xiaonuan rubbed her bald head, a shy expression appeared on her face.
Jiang Fan's mouth twitched as he watched, especially when he thought of Su Xiaonuan's name, and when he looked at his unusually tall body, he was filled with an inexplicable sense of dissonance.
"I am the head of your family, so of course I am responsible for you."
Lin Wanru's voice was very soft, but one could clearly hear some persistence in it.
Su Xiaonuan's eyes were a little wandering. She looked at Jiang Fan and suddenly gritted her teeth and said: "Miss, it really can't be done... let's go back to our old business..."
"Shut up!"
Lin Wanru suddenly interrupted Su Xiaonuan sharply, and her eyes suddenly became extremely sharp.
He said in a deep voice: "You know exactly how much everyone has paid to have such a stable life! I don't want to hear similar words again! Otherwise, don't blame me for being an expert!"
"Yes, miss, I... I just don't want to see you, miss, looking so worried all day long..."
Su Xiaonuan said in a low voice.
A strong man over two meters tall, after being scolded by Lin Wanru, acted like a child who had made a mistake.
"Okay, I know. Let me tell you, don't think too much. The reason why Jiang Fan is here is to help you solve the food problem. But don't tell everyone about making money and buying gold jewelry. You know it yourself.
That’s fine.”
Lin Wanru sighed and her tone softened.
Su Xiaonuan looked at Jiang Fan in surprise, nodded stupidly and said: "I understand, miss, don't worry, I won't tell anyone. But...does Mr. Jiang really have a way?"
