A village chief who does not want to be a village chief is not a good villager

After thinking for three seconds, Jian Ping decided to pretend he didn't see it.

This kind of person who has several knives in his body is a spy, he is either decent or villain, basically there is no third choice.

With his luck, there is almost no chance of a decent person meeting the new emperor directly, and he doesn't want to attract the attention of the so-called decent new emperor.

If it was a villain, it would be even more serious. If he accidentally saved some serious villain, then Jian Ping would probably live with guilt in the future.

So generally speaking, in order not to make himself depressed, Jian Ping chose to pretend he didn't see it.

"Brother Jian Ping..." But Jian Ping's cold heart obviously didn't affect Tian Wen, he was the half body soaked in his hands that Jian Ping saw almost at the same time.

Tian Wen didn't make any loud noises, but pulled Jian Ping softly.

Jian Ping lowered his head slightly, and he could see the worry in Tian Wen's eyes and a little hesitation on his face.However, because I am always accustomed to relying on Jian Ping's opinions, I didn't make my own claims.

Jian Ping paused for a moment, and the calm indifference on his face was finally replaced by a gentle smile. "Let's go back and tell the monks in the monastery."

Tian Wen smiled and nodded quickly.

The plan of the two of them to relax in the woods at the back just fell through, as if they didn't find anything strange, they left this place of right and wrong quickly and quietly.

After returning to the temple, Jian Ping directly told the monks in the temple that he found an injured person behind, and then pulled Tian Wen to walk from the main entrance to the town not far away.

The relaxation in the woods cannot continue, and the room in the temple is still terribly hot.The only time I can pass the time is to go around the town not far away.

Not long after Jian Ping and Tian Wen walked out of the temple gate, several monks carried the injured man in black back from the forest behind.

The host is also a person who has seen big scenes, so he asked the monks to walk through the side door of the small road, so that other people living in the temple did not see it.

As for what happened later, it really had nothing to do with Jian Ping.

The two walked around the town. Although Tian Wen was amazed at the abundance and high prices of items in the towns near the capital, he didn't look like he was hit.

As for Jian Ping, he will not be shocked by the things here.To be amazed is to marvel at the exquisite craftsmanship of these things. For a person who is used to seeing mechanical products, these things are not enough to excite him.

After all, Jian Ping is not a person who likes to indulge in traditional crafts.

The two returned to the monastery after spending an hour, and Tian Wu's room was next door to them.When monks arrange rooms, they naturally arrange them according to kinship.For those who are in a brotherly relationship like Jian Ping and Tian Wen, or other husband and wife relationships, the room is slightly larger, and for a single person, such as Tian Wu, because they have to share the same room with the salute, the room Not too small.

After returning to the monastery, it happened to be time for dinner.Jian Ping winked at Tian Wu, then took Tian Wen and led Tian Wu back to the room.

"If my feeling is correct, this year's imperial examination may have to test people's livelihood in terms of physical objects."

"Huh?" Tian Wu originally wanted to talk back to his brother-in-law, but he didn't expect his brother-in-law to talk about scientific research just after the door closed.

Tian Wu was stunned for a moment, then quickly took the herbal tea on the table and poured a cup for Jian Ping and Tian Wen. "What do you mean bro?"

The flattering voice and the innocent expression, even Tian Wen could not bear to look directly at him and wanted to cover his face.How could Tian Wen really not notice the small movements between Tian Wu and Jian Ping.

It's just that I feel that these two people are too stable on weekdays, and it's okay to relax myself occasionally and do some childish things.

But for Tian Wu who is almost cold-hearted on weekdays, but when it comes to asking for help, he starts to pretend to be innocent again, which is really embarrassing.

But no matter how embarrassing, who would let this be his younger brother.

Tian Wen silently took a sip from his teacup, and just as he was about to sit a little further away from the two of them, Jian Ping directly pulled him over and sat down next to him.

Tian Wen raised his head questioningly, but Jian Ping looked serious.If the hand around his waist could have been less intimate, this expression might have been more convincing.

Not only Tian Wen was helpless, even Tian Wu felt the urge to twitch the corner of his mouth.As for how to show off his relationship with his brother in front of his brother, his brother-in-law spared no effort in showing off regardless of time and place.

So angry.

But apart from being angry, Tian Wu was actually more happy to see such a scene than anyone else.But in order not to make Jian Ping too embarrassing, Tian Wu could only hide this comfort in his heart.

After Jian Ping and Tian Wen sat down, he began to explain his explanation. "Xinhuang is a person full of energy and ready to do something big."

Jian Ping felt that he used a flat beginning, but the result was that Tian Wu was so scared that he almost didn't kneel down to the other party.My lord brother, is the emperor someone such a small character like them can easily criticize?

It's a pity that Jian Ping directly ignored Tian Wu's fear and staring eyes, and described his discovery lightly. "Such a new emperor will never be willing to be controlled by others."

With all due respect, as long as he is an emperor with ideals and aspirations, he probably doesn't want to be controlled by others.Tian Wu, whose heart was about to jump out of his throat in fright, in the wave after wave of blows, strangely formed a kind of calm.

Quietly looking at Jian Ping, listening to Jian Ping's analysis, with a look of sadness that completely disregarded life and death.

"I just went around the town with your brother. This is already the closest town to the capital, so the price of things is also greatly affected by the capital."

Jian Ping looked at Tian Wu with a strange look, Tian Wu hadn't reacted yet, but nodded to what Jian Ping said, expressing his agreement.

"There are a lot of flashy things in this town, but they are worth the money." Tian Wu blinked and looked at Jian Ping suspiciously.

Only at this time did he see the strangeness in Jian Ping's eyes clearly.

"...But it's still a bit short of the legendary luxury. For example, gold jewelry..."

Tian Wen helplessly raised his hand, letting Tian Wu see the two-finger-wide gold bracelet on his wrist.The pattern is a simple relief, and the whole bracelet is a solid one.

Tian Wu's eyes widened. Looking at the thickness and width, coupled with the exquisite craftsmanship, he instantly felt that this bracelet might cost thousands of taels of silver.

"500 taels."

Jian Ping seemed to 'see' the question in Tian Wu's mind, and gave the answer directly.

"Huh?" This time, Tian Wu was even more surprised. "No way, this looks very valuable."

Jian Ping still had a slightly weird expression on his face, and then nodded with certainty. "Yes, according to the normal situation, this thing should be worth 3000 taels."

"..." I seem to have some wrong understanding of money.Tian Wu stared, turned his head silently and glanced at his brother's wrist again.

Just now he thought that this thing was worth at least 1000 taels, but he seemed a little too young.

Tian Wen helped his forehead helplessly, he still couldn't accept the fact that a big man was wearing a gold bracelet.As a man, he really doesn't have this hobby of wearing gold and silver, okay?

However, when Jian Ping saw the bracelet and saw that the price was only 500 taels, he didn't give him a chance to comment and bought it directly.

And, instead of buying one, I bought four in one go.One for Tian Wen, one for Yang Shuxian, and two for Jian Le.

There are also two sets of safety locks that children can carry. Others buy silver ones, but Jian Ping directly buys gold ones.Daya and Erya are one set for each person.

As for Shuan Zi and Er Gou Zi, Hong Hai'er had four wrist and ankle rings each.

If you want to ask who the red boy is, in the fairy tale that Jian Ping told Tian Wen, the red boy is a bear child, and the bracelet and anklet of the red boy are the magic weapon used by the gods to suppress the bear child.

In just one hour, Jian Ping bought a total of 3000 taels of gold jewelry.Regarding the speed at which Jian Ping spends money, Tian Wen once again has a new understanding.

However, there is no need to tell Tian Wu about this matter.

Jian Ping looked at Tian Wen's helpless expression with amused expression, and pretended not to notice Tian Wu's entanglement.After the two people digested his words a little bit, they knocked on the table.

"I'm afraid this was done on purpose."

"Why is that? Is it lowering the price of gold?" After all, Tian Wu's mind is still very flexible, but no matter how flexible he is, it is still within the cognitive range of ordinary people.

Jian Ping didn't directly answer the other party's doubts, but took out a box of snacks from a small box next to him and put them on the table.

Tian Wu didn't think much about it, the food in the temple was all vegetarian, which was delicious, but for a person who was growing up, he just wasn't very hungry.

So when he saw the snacks Jian Ping took out, Tian Wu also regarded the snacks brought by his brother and brother-in-law, and directly pinched a piece and stuffed it into his mouth.

Eggs are added to the flour, and a little sugar is added to it. The taste is similar to many dim sum in Jianjia Village, but it is not as good as the dim sum in Jianjia Village.

When Tian Wu finished eating one piece and wanted to take the second piece, Jian Ping only opened his mouth quietly. "This box costs ten taels of silver."

Tian Wu's eyes widened in an instant, and his hands stopped in mid-air, not daring to move.Staring at the snack box on the table with wide eyes, he carefully counted the number inside, one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, plus the one he ate, it was ten.

One tael of silver ah!

Mother, he just ate a tael of silver in one bite!

Tian Wu swallowed hard, looking at the snacks on the table, he didn't dare to move.

I really dare not move.

It's not that Tian Wu has never seen money, or he is reluctant to spend money, it's just that spending like this is too much beyond his expectations.

Not to mention that the first few years of Tian Wu's life were peasant children who were reluctant to waste, and the first six months were spent eating and sleeping with soldiers in the military camp at the border, wishing to cut a steamed bun in half to save money. It's really unacceptable for two silver coins.

Tian Wu frowned tightly, always feeling that something was wrong.The prices in the capital are expensive, but what has always been expensive has a meaning of value for money.

For example, General Bai, County Magistrate Mo and General Peng once mentioned delicious and fun things in a few words, and Vice General Zhou Lin told Tian Wu about the various things in the capital, but he never felt like he was slaughtered. same feeling.

Jian Ping changed his posture and slowly leaned against the wall.The place for drinking tea in the temple is a small couch-like thing, with a low table between the people sitting on both sides.

In order to sit on the side with Tian Wen, Jian Ping took off his shoes and sat on the inside.

"I'm afraid that someone is collecting money and waiting for the price of food to rise."

"Huh?" Tian Wugang was still immersed in the question of whether his brother-in-law was slaughtered, when he heard Jian Ping's topic jump a little bit.

"I just harvested a crop of grain in June, so it's not obvious yet. After everyone spends most of their money on these flashy things, how many people do you think can afford these snacks?"

Tian Wu first took a speechless look at the so-called flashy thing...a solid gold bracelet two fingers wide, forgive his clumsy eyes, I really don't think there is anything flashy.

But what Jian Ping said was also the truth.

The dim sum Jian Ping bought should be the most common dim sum in the town.Now selling it for ten taels of silver, that's because the people here still have some savings and don't think it's worth it.

But after a few more months, after all the money in the family has bought these 'flashy' things, how many people can afford those snacks for ten taels of silver?

Also... how much is ordinary rice grain worth?

Jian Ping watched Tian Wu fall into deep thought, and couldn't help sighing again. "What this emperor did is also a sad reminder. The gold mine is not in his hands."

With a plop, Tian Wuzhen knelt on the ground. "Brother, my dear brother, we are now under the eyes of the emperor near the capital, please don't be so arbitrary when you talk next time!"

Jian Ping was taken aback by Tian Wu's big action, and realized that he was indeed a little casual.This time, Jian Ping didn't intend to confront Wu Tian.

Because Jian Ping could see that the only reason why Tian Wu made such a big move was because he was afraid that he would hurt Tian Wen.

And Jian Ping didn't want to hurt Jian Ping at all.

"It was my negligence, and I will definitely pay attention to it in the future."

Jian Ping nodded earnestly and solemnly, assuring Tian Wu.Tian Wen quickly pulled up the people on the ground, and at the same time patted Jian Ping on the back, silently giving support.

The three of them looked at each other, and then all laughed.

As long as the family can be safe and happy, it is better than anything else.

None of the three noticed that there was a man in black squatting outside the window on the far side.Knowing that the people in the room would not continue the previous topic, they left quietly like they had come quietly before.
