Vicissitudes know Jinhua

The old shopkeeper has been in this inn for 20 years, so it can be regarded as an old shop. Naturally, he doesn't want to cheat customers for some petty profits. Besides, the half-grown boy looks unambiguous in his eyes, so he called it to Mu Zishi immediately. Pointing to the star on the pan, he said: "Here is a star of one tael, this is a star of one penny, right? You see, four pennies is accurate, enough for two days, what do you want for dinner, wait a while Tell the buddy to send you two brothers to the room."

Mu Zishi memorized the usage of Jizi in his heart, and said: "The old man is very accurate. If so, let's stay for two days!"

Holding Qi Shaochong with one hand, he followed a thick-headed young man called Wang San.

On the way, Mu Zishi asked Qi Shaochong in a low voice: "Did you pay attention to the scorpion just now? We have to learn all these, and maybe we will be able to use them in the future."

Qi Shaochong was immediately nervous and blamed himself: "I didn't pay attention!"

Mu Zishi wanted to hurt him a few words when he opened his mouth, but he held back and said kindly, "Forget it, I'll teach you later... Are you hungry? What do you want to eat?"

Seeing that he was not angry, Young Master Qi bent his eyes, and obediently lowered his head to think about what to eat for dinner. After thinking about it again and again, he felt that he should squat in the latrine first, clean up the corruption first, and then replenish new talents.

In the backyard, Wang San opened a room: "Take a look, young masters, are you satisfied?"

Mu Zishi saw that the room was not big, and the furnishings were simple. There was only one bed, one table and two chairs, but the bedding was thick and there was no strange smell. The windows were pasted with tissue paper, and there was a brazier in the corner. Putting down the package hurriedly, said with a smile: "Very good, thank you little brother."

Qi Shaochong lived in a ruined temple for the first time in the Li Palace. He went from the Jiuchongtian to the eighteenth floor in a short time. Now that he can return to the world to have a warm room, he naturally has no further words. He just said: "Make some dishes and send them over. Buckets of hot water."

Wang San agreed, and said with a smile: "Master, I'll give you two meatballs, stewed half a leg of fat lamb, stir-fried vegetarian delicacies, white rice is enough, what do you think?"

Qi Shaochong felt it was very new after hearing it, and said: "That's it."

But Mu Zishi hesitated for a moment and asked, "How much money do you get for these...?"

Wang San saw that the big one was quite delicate, so he hurriedly calculated and told him: "Meatballs are twenty yuan, which is the specialty dish of our master chef. Vegetarian delicacies are more expensive in winter. Thirty yuan for you. As for the legs, stewed in a small casserole, it is so delicious that you won’t put down your chopsticks even if you slap it on the face. It’s cheaper at fifty cents, and it’s a penny in total. The rice is free, and I’ll also give you cabbage fat soup.”

Wang San was born simple and honest, but his tongue was very clever. He spoke vividly, and the smell of mutton almost wafted out. Qi Shaochong secretly swallowed his saliva, and his stomach grunted again.

Mu Zishi looked at his shining eyes, and sighed: "Is it okay to settle the money at the counter?" But he was afraid that some of the money would be stolen by Wang San.

Wang San was not at all unhappy: "It should be so, don't worry, young master, our shop has been open for almost 40 years, and there is absolutely no guy who steals money. If I serve you comfortably, I will reward you with two small money for running errands. If it is not good Yes, you can tell the shopkeeper!"

Mu Zishi felt a little embarrassed when he spoke so clearly, took out a small piece of broken silver from the package, stuffed it into Wang San's hand, and said with a smile: "Please trouble me, second brother, help me get a coin." Come here, the food is ready, and it will be brought in too... If it is convenient, buy me two coats."

Then he took out a dozen or so copper coins: "Here... I'll get you some wine!"

When Wang San went out, he turned his head and gave Qi Shaochong a vicious look: "I've spent all my money later, so don't cry when you're hungry."

Qi Shaochong was not afraid: "Earn after you spend it all. Just now I saw someone set up a stall to write letters at the east end of the town. Back then, my mother came to Chenjing alone from Jiangnan, and she only brought three taels of silver."

Mu Zishi was taken aback, he could not have imagined that a prince who is so noble and inexperienced would have such a mood of adapting to adversity and making progress, he couldn't help but look at him with admiration and nodded: "You speak very well..."

After thinking about it, he took out the house deed from his bosom, and put it close to Qi Shaochong carefully: "If we get separated by accident, you take this and wait for me in the village by yourself."

Qi Shaohong said: "It's fine for me to keep this, but we must not get separated."

Mu Zishi smiled and didn't answer, Wang San sent dumplings, hot tea, and food over for a while, and the two ate it while it was still hot. It's sweet and sweet, although it's a common folk food, and the appearance is not exquisite and beautiful, but the taste is stronger and saltier than the one in the palace.Qi Shaochong hadn't had a good meal for two days, and his appetite was huge. After a meal, his stomach was full, and Fang burped: "It's so good!"

Mu Zishi was so thoughtful that he had no taste in his mouth, so he took two mouthfuls of rice with the vegetables, then closed the door, carefully took out all the silver taels, and weighed them twice with a spoon. He said, "This coin is not difficult to use... What are you doing counting silver?"

Mu Zishi divided the silver into several piles, put some in the two people's parcels, and put some in the sleeve pockets of the girdle, and said, "A total of 47 taels and three coins, do you think it is enough to support us to Zhuangzi?"

The two have never been out of Chenjing, but they have seen the detailed maps of all the states in the world. Not to mention the geography of mountains and rivers, they can be regarded as well-thought-out. Qi Shaochong listened to Mu Zishi's meaning of comparison, and he was busy contemplating, and broke up for a long time Pointing his fingers, he said in detail: "The Zhuangzi is at the junction of the west of the two prefectures of Xia and Shen, and then go to the northwest, and pass a Nanke Mountain that stretches for hundreds of miles, and you will be Yongliang..."

"Brother, you really had the ability to make predictions when you set up this Zhuangzi. The border between the two prefectures is difficult to find out from the government, and it is very close to Yongliang. If you want to contact King Fengjing, it is very convenient!"

Before the words fell, Mu Zishi seemed to be frightened, and hurriedly glanced at Qi Shao, and Qi Yupei's eyes suddenly flashed in his mind, the autumn water is cold and the moon reflects the spring river, how similar is it to Luo Shi?

As if a basin of ice water had been poured in his mind out of thin air, it was as clear as a mirror. Qi Yupei had already foreseen today's disaster when he arranged this Zhuangzi. Revenge, not hesitating to disturb the world, let alone the turmoil in the country!

Seeing that Mu Zishi's face was terribly pale, Young Master Qi hurriedly asked, "What's the matter with you? Are you uncomfortable?"

Mu Zishi groaned, and forced a smile: "No... well, I didn't know the prophet, it was just a coincidence."

He secretly decided in his heart that this secret must die with him, and Qi Yupei would never allow the world to criticize and humiliate him leisurely.Immediately regaining his composure, he knocked on the table and said, "You haven't finished the calculation yet, don't be careless, hurry up!"

Qi Shaochong scratched his head, and said: "After passing Lingzhou and Jingzhou, Xiazhou is. Lingzhou has seven prefectures and eighteen counties, and Jingzhou is smaller, just five prefectures. Let's walk along the official road. As soon as we enter Xiazhou, we will go to Xiazhou. To the west, you can reach that Zhuangzi by passing through six counties...a thousand and hundreds of miles will be enough for a full journey, and it will be there in three or four months.

After hearing this, Mu Zishi pursed his lips and said with a smile: "The calculation is very good, very detailed, and there is nothing wrong with the number."

Qi Shaochong was very suspicious: "I don't believe it! You are laughing badly, there must be ghosts."

Mu Zishi smiled and said, "Are you planning to walk all the way?"

Qi Shaochong was taken aback for a moment: "Yes, we can take a passing carriage!"

Mu Zishi touched his face and sighed: "Shao Chong, you are persevering and flexible, but after all, you are young and have never experienced hardships. If you walk thirty or twenty miles every day and sleep in the open, you may not It takes only ten days to get sick, you see, it’s only been two days, and the flesh on the chin is gone...but it’s not bad to grow more heart and eyes and less flesh.”

Qi Shao shrank his neck: "No, I haven't been sick for two years!"

Mu Zishi ignored it and said, "And you forgot to do some calculations. Don't we need to buy new clothes, shoes and socks for three or four months? We have to pay the city gate tax when entering and leaving the city. What is it, such as losing money? For example, if you are sick and have to ask a doctor to buy medicine and can’t get on the road? For example, heavy rain and hailstorms delay your trip? Even... the government will strictly investigate and seal the city gate?"

The more Qi Shaochong listened to it, his expression became worse. When Mu Zishi finished speaking, the corner of his mouth was already like the crescent moon: "Yes, what should I do then?"

Seeing that he was downcast and cute, Mu Zishi couldn't help but tease him: "Don't worry, it's winter anyway, and there's plenty of northwest wind to drink without money."

Qi Shaochong wanted to cry, but suddenly wondered if he talked to Qi Yupei like this.

But Mu Zishi corrected his expression and said, "The night is long and the dream is full. Let's go to Zhuangzi as soon as possible. Tomorrow, I will ask the shopkeeper if there is a cart from Huangni Town to Lingzhou. As long as you enter the city, Let's take a ride as fast as possible...but at the junction of the state capitals, if we can't find a passing vehicle, we can only go by ourselves, don't rush, you have to get through."

Qi Shaochong firmly held Mu Zishi's two fingers, and said, "You too, let's go together!"

Mu Zishi stared at him quietly, his eyes gradually covered with a layer of crystal water, Qi Shaochong wondered how he could be moved to tears so easily, but Mu Zishi said angrily: "You pinched my hand so hard very painful!"

The clerks in this inn are really hard-working, and after a while, Wang San came to clean up the dishes and chopsticks, brought two big buckets of hot water, saponins, etc., and two sets of brand new cotton cloth clothes: "You can call when you are finished, and I will come again Take the bucket away, it’s very cold and comfortable to take a bath.”

Qi Shaochong was clumsy, and he looked like a little tiger without claws. The chick just hatched, standing dripping wet in the bucket, looked innocent: "Brother...I don't know how to do it."

Mu Zishi was full of satisfaction and planned to just leave him alone, but when he thought that he would have to serve him if he was frozen, he gritted his teeth and rolled up his sleeves: "Born in a deep palace, grown in a woman's hands, you can't help but know Eat, what else will you do?"

As he spoke, he scooped up a ladle of water to wash his hair, and then rubbed it with soap locusts.

When Mu Zishi was young, he did everything by himself, but now he just regained his old memories. Although he was a little rusty, he quickly got used to it.

After these few sentences, Qi Shao blushed, feeling even more ashamed than usual, his scalp was red all the way to the soles of his feet, and he muttered, "Can't you wait until I put on my clothes before reprimanding me?"

Mu Zishi rubbed his back viciously, but his voice was golden and clear: "I'll teach you why don't you still take a bath and burn incense to check the almanac and throw a piece of tortoise shell to make a divination, and then pick a sunny day, a beautiful spring and warm flowers?" Have a good day?"

Qi Shaochong drooped his head: "No..."

Mu Zishi slapped his ass: "Turn around!"

Qi Shaochong wiped the water off his face, and turned around obediently, but he heard Mu Zishi say loudly: "It's unwise to not know after passing by, you are unwise first, this is a mistake, I tell you clearly, but you can't hear it." If you have made mistakes, you are happy to know your mistakes and not hide them. These two mistakes are also waiting for cunning to argue, but you can't win the debate, and you still have resentment. These three mistakes are also, you know the reason why Qin Xie heard his mistakes and the dead man was willing to listen and be happy. ? Can you know that self-improvement is called self-cultivation? Can you know..."

Qi Shaochong couldn't wait to express his heart and soul and said loudly in pain: "I was wrong! I was really wrong!"
