Chapter 21: Since ancient times, bullies have been arrogant.
At the end of November, the coldest temperature in Kyoto should be below zero, this is Xu Qi'an woke up in the morning, saw the courtyard water tank has a layer of thin ice, according to this judgment.
The Dafeng Dynasty was located in the center of the Nine States, claiming to be the rightful ruler of the world, and the climate of the capital should belong to the temperate continental monsoon climate.
Areas with this kind of climate would have a very hard time in winter if there was no heating.
"In this era, the appearance of frozen bones in winter is something that is justified and natural." Xu Qi'an sighed in his heart.
Somewhat regretting that his mathematics and physics were not good enough to carry out a farming stream in this era of backward infrastructure and material scarcity.
That would have been a good way to benefit the people.
The sun in the sky hangs warmly high, the beautiful young girl holding her five-year-old sister, excitedly wandering in the downtown street, a pair of autumn water-like eyes looking left and right, exquisite as the corner of the mouth hangs up a light smile.
My sister is dressed in a light blue robe today, with twisted flowers blooming on her cuffs and lapels.
The loose cuffs fluttered, giving her a bit more of an immortal aura.
Xu Qi'an inevitably thought of the ancient beauties of her previous life, and then compared them in her mind, the women's clothing of this era tended to be conservative, not as bewitching as the ancient beauties of her previous life.
"I suddenly thought of a way to make a living, can I improve the clothes, make the women's clothes more beautiful and more seductive ...." Xu Qi'an was struck by a bright idea.
In an instant, many epoch-making women's clothes flashed through his mind: skeletons, black silk, garter stockings, erotic open center doors ....
Stop, stop .... I will be dragged to the noon gate to be beheaded!
The clattering of carriages, the loads of goods, the hurrying of passers-by, and the lining up of stores .... composed a vivid picture of the ancient bazaar.
After a month of getting along, Xu Lingyue's outlook on her cousin had changed a lot. It wasn't as full of disconnect as before.
Previously, because of his aunt, the original owner did not like the other two siblings, except for Xiao Erjun's little doudou, the other two siblings.
Initially Xu Ling Yue will also big brother big brother called, suffered many times after the cold, meet just nodded and nodded.
Now the relationship has improved a lot, but there is still a little rusty. The beautiful elder sister pulled the younger sister to walk on the side, purposely separated from Xu Qi'an by two lengths.
Little Dou Ding was attracted by the variety of things on the street and tried to break away from her sister several times, but was firmly tugged.
"Sugar gourd, sugar gourd ...." Little DouDing pointed to a cargo man on the street and shouted crisply.
"Don't you want your teeth?" The older sister scolded, tugging her younger sister forward.
The Xu family had suffered a great disaster, their money was depleted, and they had been living in quite a tight spot for the past month, Xu Ling Yue did not have any coins on her to buy her younger sister candy canes.
Xu Qi'an walked behind, looking at her younger sister, mainly her elder sister, tall in stature, permeated with the youthfulness and slenderness of a young girl.
The back was like the first willow buds, perhaps not as voluptuous as a mature woman, but the youthful and lively flavor was again unique to girls of this age.
"Big brother, big brother ...." Little Dou Ding was in a big hurry, his buttocks puckering back and his feet plowing the ground to counter his sister's tugging.
Xu Ling Yue bit her lip with an anxious and annoyed expression.
"Big brother didn't bring any silver either, but, soon there will be ...." Xu Qi'an signaled his youngest sister to be at ease, and between words, the bottom of his foot stepped on a hard object, and when he looked down, it was a grain of dusky-colored broken silver.
He leaned down to pick it up, weighed it, and sure enough, it was a penny.
In the past month, he had picked up a penny of silver far too often.
Xu Lingyue's eyes widened.
Picked up silver?
There's money for listening to music at the Hooker today .... Counting the time, he hadn't been to the hookah for two days because he hadn't picked up any money.
Xu Qi'an was a little happy, pinching the broken silver, welcoming the cargo man, "Give me three bunches of sugar gourds."
"Okay," the dark-skinned cargo man picked three bunches with a smile on his face, "six coins."
Broken silver can't be found, the sugar gourd seller ran to the side of the store to break open, kept six for himself, and retrieved Xu Qi'an's 94 copper plates, and strung them up with a thin rope.
The monetary system of Dafeng, one tael of silver = eight coins = 100 wen, gold is a luxury item, not in the monetary system. A poor family might not be able to touch gold in their lifetime.
Xu Qi'an took the copper coins and sugar gourds, biting a string in his own mouth before handing the two strings of sugar gourds to each of his two sisters.
Xu Lingyue took it haughtily and softly said, "Thank you elder brother."
She took a bite, enjoying the sweetness in her mouth, her large eyes curving into a crescent moon, most capable of hitting the softness of a straight man's heart.
Xu Qi'an nodded, and then looked at Little Dou Ding, who had already nibbled it up.
"Big brother big brother, is your sugar gourd sweet." Xu Suoyin's cheeks puffed out as she asked vaguely.
"You want to eat it." Xu Qi'an broke through the female doll's small mind.
"Ah? How does big brother know." Xu Suoyin was taken aback, not expecting her thoughts to be known by big brother, big brother is really powerful.
Xu Qi'an gave a 'heh', "If you eat too many sugar gourds, your mouth will grow worms."
"Grow what bugs?" Little DouDing's little face reveals vigilance.
Xu Qi'an thought for a moment and described it to her, "It's that kind of white, fat, greasy bug."
He had just finished speaking when he saw his infant sister gulp.
Absolutely .... Xu Dalang arched his hand towards her, and the sugar gourd was presented with both hands.
Xu Qi'an led his two younger sisters to roll the road, and the prosperous scene of the capital swept through his pupils, not feeling much pleasure in his heart.
I fucking picked up silver again ....
This is not scientific!
Coming from the police academy, he was extremely sensitive to such unexplainable details.
"Could it be related to my crossing over?"
Xu Qi'an clearly remembered that before he crossed over, he hadn't touched an antique or been laughed at by an old grandpa for touching his dog's head.
"Is this my golden finger? But what's with the one silver dollar per day, which happens to be the money for listening to songs at the hookah. So it's God's will for me to soak up the hookah every day?"
"Let's find a way to break through to Qi Practicing first, for now, no matter what the physical problems are, going out and picking up money is always good."
"I'll upgrade first, then observe and see if there will be any subsequent changes. Moreover, I don't know where the ceiling of force value is in this world yet. In the future, when I'm more capable, I might be able to figure out the reason for the shit luck."
Xu Qi'an was wary of weird shit luck, and if it was the system he gladly accepted it instead, as it was within his understanding.
.......
There was a greenhouse on this street called "Gui Yue Lou", a third-class greenhouse.
Thanks to the words and teachings of Sheriff Wang and others, Xu Qi'an had learned enough about greenhouses, greatly enriching his personal cultural heritage.
The suffix of a greenhouse can determine its specifications, the first and second class greenhouses, the suffix to 'courtyard', 'pavilion', 'pavilion' as the main.
Three or four of the greenhouse more to 'class' 'building' 'store' named ..... The key point!
It's not even noon yet, but the girls of the green houses open their doors early for business, and a few pretty girls in red and green are leaning on the second floor's beauty leans, smilingly scrutinizing the passersby on the street.
Seeing the favorite (wearing satin), they waved a colorful handkerchief, said in a delicate voice: "Master, come up to drink a cup of wine ah."
.... Even if it is a third-class green house, you have to pay two silver coins for a drink to get in. .... To sleep with a girl, depending on the quality, the low ones are about five or six dollars, and the expensive ones are one or two taels .... Xu Qi'an calculated for a moment, confirming that he was the one who could not afford to spend.
There is no need ah, all his belongings are just a few taels of silver .... He looked at the second floor lazily sitting on the beauty of the warbler swallows and swallows, heart sentimental, ".... At that time, the young green shirt is thin, riding a horse leaning on the sloping bridge, full of red sleeve strokes!"
This is all men have dreamed of.
"Big brother poetry talent should be used in the right place." Xu Lingyue faintly said.
She savored it in her heart and sighed silently, perhaps second uncle was right, big brother was the reading seed.
"Big brother, the ladies upstairs are so pretty." Little Dou Ding said crisply.
"Doing business, of course you have to dress decently." Xu Qi'an replied.
"What kind of business."
"Selling abalone."
"Abalone?" Little Dou Ding's eyes gleamed as he tilted his head back to look at the greenhouse, unwilling to leave.
"Big brother!" Xu Lingyue stomped her foot and shouted, seemingly shy and angry, blaming Xu Qi'an for not discussing this with her young sister.
Xu Qi'an twisted his head to look at his sister, what are you angry about, is it hard to understand my terrain?
Leaving the green house behind, he passed by a fish meatball store, and the pervasive scent made the little doudoune moncler pas cher's legs take root.
Xu Ling Yue glanced over there a few times and quietly gulped, after she was released from prison, the Xu family lived in straitened circumstances, sometimes only eating meat once every three days.
She was just at the time when she was growing in stature, and had a great need for food, especially meat.
"Wait, brother will buy it for you."
The store was not big and there were many people lining up to buy, Xu Qi'an told his sisters to wait by the side of the road and squeezed himself through.
"Big brother is so nice." Little Dou Ding said crisply while gulping and looking at his sister.
Xu Ling Yue held her sister's small hand and looked at Xu Qi An's back, the corners of her mouth unconsciously curling up.
Soon, Xu Qi'an bought three portions of fish meatballs, packed them in butter paper bags, and when he returned, he saw four or five escorts surrounding Xu Lingyue, not touching her either, and wantonly flirting with her.
The sixteen year old clear girl was like a trapped moose, protecting herself while trying to break out of the encirclement, but always being forced back by the escorts.
She was so anxious that she was close to crying, her face full of fear.
The escorts laughed.
On the side, a brocade-clothed male son rode on the back of his steed, watching the scene like a play.
Seeing her older sister being bullied, Xu Suoyin ran to the male, her small body flopping forward, her hands pinned back, and then cried out with a "wow", launching a sonic attack.
"Noisy." The eunuch subconsciously raised the horsewhip in his hand, suddenly stopping, his eyes flashing with cruelty, a tug on the horse's reins, forcing the steed to raise its hooves high, trampling down towards Xu Lingyue.
Xu Lingyue let out a mournful wail.
