"The foam tea produced in this small place doesn't taste much better than swill."
"There should always be someone left to sit..."
Mother Sun kept talking endlessly, but was interrupted mercilessly by Sister Cui:
"A family like the Qin family is top-notch in Wuhang City and even Jiangzhou. They are gentlemen and wise men, and they have the integrity of a family. How can they be willing to step into the threshold of our humble industry? Standing outside the door and talking is already a big deal.
You already have so much face, how dare you ask for anything more?"
Wei Changpan, who had never seen Sister Cui speak so harshly and harshly, was stunned. Even Mama Sun and Father Yan, who had known each other for many years, seemed to not recognize Sister Cui in front of them, as if they were strangers.
The deep resentment made Sister Cui's once pretty face change beyond recognition. It took a long time for her to calm down, but she no longer showed the sincere joy she felt when she first got the golden bean. She threw it vigorously as if she was holding something unclean.
Go out and then look outside the building silently.
The round golden beans were dancing on the brick-paved ground. The three people rushed to pounce on them. Wei Changpan's quick eyesight and hands were about to grab it, but Father Yan's elbow and Mother Sun's movements made him miss. That golden touch
The light fell between Wei Changpan's fingers and got stuck between the bricks on the ground. He could reach it with his fingers but could not take it out.
Father Yan cursed and took out the small hammer next to the door panel. It was a meal guy who was doing house repair work in Rouge Lane and left it to pay for a meal.
Father Qian, who has weak hands, struggled to lift the small hammer, which weighed only seven or eight kilograms. His hands were still shaking. When he was about to go down, he was stopped by Sun's mother, who said that if the hammer broke the ground, he would still
Don't you have to spend money to hire someone to repair it? He turned around and took out a pair of chopsticks from the kitchen. He lay on the ground and concentrated for a long time before he took out the golden bean and held it in his hands with great care.
"If the rumor really spreads that this golden bean with the word "Qin" engraved on it is for sale, I'm afraid it can be exchanged for fifty taels... no, five hundred taels of silver..."
The amount spoken by Father Yan made Wei Changpan tremble. In this case, he only needed to exchange the golden beans for cash, and no longer had to stay in Rouge Lane. He could have someone bring some money and messages back to town.
Give it to your parents, and then go and report it to those beauties in the brothel.
Safety....
The pursuit of Songfeng Mountain and Fulutai was not within the scope of his consideration. No matter how much he considered it, it would be useless. The second floor of martial arts that was so solid was also the second floor. Without anyone to guide him, that bottleneck would be like a ton to Wei Changpan.
The mountains are so high that they are not difficult to overcome. You have to figure it out step by step. When will you be able to get out? Even after you get out, there are three floors, four floors, and five floors...several floors, one floor.
Even higher than one floor, who can he rely on for guidance?
The world of martial arts is great, but if it is not good to live, then there will be nothing when you die, so how can you go to the world of martial arts?
The most urgent task is to ask Sister Cui to help exchange the golden beans for silver. The man in white has no ill intentions towards him. The golden beans are real golden beans, and what he said are really good things. Let’s talk about such a person.
, how could anyone deliberately plot against an insignificant boy like him?
Wei Changpan didn't know the importance of the word "Qin" in Wuhang City or even Jiangzhou. Even if he knew it, he would only ask if he could exchange more money... He just thought it was because he saw him going out hungry when he was a child.
It would be too unbearable for the kind person who gave him half a piece of cake to ask for the other half of the cake.
It's not an exaggeration to say that this half piece of "cake" is a drop in the ocean to the man in white.
"Don't look at it. Those are golden beans given to Panzi. They have nothing to do with us getting half a copper. Even if we take them out, we won't be able to exchange them for money, let alone appreciate Panzi's kung fu." Cui.
Sister returned to her usual expression, "If I really want to sell it, for five hundred taels of silver, I'm afraid the people who want it will have to line up from here to the west of the city. There are many people who can afford the price of five thousand taels of silver, but again
Who would really dare to exchange the engraved golden beans given by that person for silver? How can that person's face be measured by the amount of silver?"
The five thousand taels of silver raised his heart to his throat and then slowly fell down. Wei Changpan asked tentatively: "That young master, I think he is very rich?"
"yes."
"How rich are you?" he asked again.
"No one knows, maybe they can buy Wuhang City or half of Jiangzhou's land, or they can build a huge ship with gold, or they can support the people of Jiangzhou for a few years without having to do any work and still have food and drink.
." Sister Cui became serious, "There will always be a time when all the money you have is spent. But as long as you have this golden bean, as long as the Qin family in Jiangzhou does not fall, you will have a bright future. It is better than a scholar who is on the imperial list.
It’s not bad, listen to Sister Cui’s advice,
This golden bean is here. If you walk sideways in Jiangzhou, not many people would dare to touch you."
Not many people dare to touch me? Wei Changpan smiled bitterly in his heart. He was regarded as a remnant of gangsters by the Jiangzhou government. How could the officers and soldiers not dare to touch him?
But he didn't dare to say this to Sister Cui. He knew that although there was no reward of one thousand guan in the Wenzhao list, there was still one or two hundred guan.
Wei Changpan knew very well what was more important between these few months of friendship and one or two hundred dollars. In addition, now was the time when he was short of money... He didn't want to think about it anymore.
Sister Cui, who thought she had seen Wei Changpan's concerns, laughed angrily and said: "There is no business in the building right now, so if you stay here, you will have more food to eat, but if you take my money, who will you go to ask for it from? Qin
I can’t exchange the face of the head of the family for anything, it’s not for your own good to go around in circles.”
Since the building is no longer open for business, I don’t put on heavy makeup. I usually look bare-faced, but my smile is less. When I have nothing to do, I like to pick up the pipa, play some sad tunes, and play along with the tunes.
, it’s like I can’t hear clearly what I’m talking about, there’s no need to buy rouge and gouache, and I don’t have to leave the building.
Wei Changpan didn't speak for a long time. Sister Cui thought about it and stopped trying to persuade her: "It doesn't matter if I stay here any longer. It's just that in a few months we can no longer live in this building. There are many cheap houses in Wuhang City. When the time comes, Mother Sun will
We can sell big bowls of tea on the street, and the old man and I can find places to tell stories, and we can always make a living. Even if Panzi loses the job you do, you will have to find a job by then, and you can't just idle around every day.
Still eating for nothing."
Sister Cui slapped her head and laughed at herself: "I forgot that you are the one that the young master likes. How could you have no ability at all?"
