The Struggle History of Idols

In the end, the three rented a carriage.

"It's really expensive, it costs one tael of silver to rent a car!" Xiao Yue sighed, "I feel like we've lost money."

"Is a tael of silver a lot?" Yin Tianyi asked.

Xiao Yue nodded and said, "One tael of silver was equivalent to more than 600 RMB in the Ming Dynasty."

"Is there so much?" Yin Tianyi couldn't help being surprised. He had watched a lot of TV dramas in which the main characters were spending money like water, and casually rewarded a passer-by with a big silver ingot, a big gold ingot or something, and thought that a tael of silver was not worth much. .

"In the Ming Dynasty, except for high-ranking officials, ordinary people generally earned about 20 taels to 30 taels a year. The most profitable pig butchers and coachmen earned about 40 taels a year."

Xiao Yue continued to give him popular science: "Actually, the purchasing power of a tael of silver is different in each dynasty and generation."

"The purchasing power of one tael of silver in the Tang Dynasty was astonishingly high. During the period of Tang Taizong, one tael of silver was almost equal to about 4000 yuan now. Until the Qing Dynasty, due to the influx of a large amount of silver from overseas, the purchasing power of silver decreased, and one tael of silver was about 200 yuan. Yuan."

Hearing this, Yin Tianyi sighed: "The purchasing power of silver will drop, and if the price of goods rises, the life of ordinary people will be difficult."

"Who says it's not." Xiao Yue said: "So we have to thank ourselves for being born in this era, eat whatever we want, and wear whatever we want. In ancient times, ordinary people were not so comfortable and free."

Yin Tianyi nodded in agreement.

Just as a group of people were chatting, the carriage stopped.I heard the coachman outside shouting: "Guest officers, the Yang residence has arrived."

"So fast?" Yin Tianyi was a little surprised, "Didn't you say it took half an hour to walk? It seems that it took us at most 5 minutes by car, right?"

The film crew who followed the filming said with a smile: "We are in the middle of a game mission, which is different from the normal passage of time."

Everyone: "..."

Can you still play like this?

Alright, what the program team said.We dare not ask, and we dare not speak.

So the group got out of the car.

However, when Yin Tianyi saw the Yang Mansion in front of him, he couldn't help being taken aback, why does this place look so familiar?

Take a closer look, isn't this the place they passed by when they came just now?

It is only 200 meters away from the stall selling fried cakes just now!

For a moment, everyone felt that they were cheated.

Cai Zhiwen couldn't help but questioned the accompanying director team: "You guys lied to us to walk for half an hour in such a close place, and tricked us into hiring a carriage. Are you really guilty?"

At this moment, Xiao Yue suddenly realized: "I just said why the car is so expensive, it's just to defraud us of our money."

Yin Tianyi heard it and asked casually: "Is it any good for them to cheat our money?"

Xiao Yue frowned, "We don't know now, but the director's team must have a purpose in giving us a silver dollar before departure."

Hearing this, Yin Tianyi radiated his imagination and guessed: "Could it be that in the end there will be more money left in someone's pocket?"

As soon as the words fell, the smile on the faces of the director team froze suddenly.

Seeing this, Yin Tianyi couldn't help laughing and complaining: "Director, you have been exposed."

Seeing this, the three felt that Yin Tianyi's guess was correct.

Seeing that the little secret was exposed, the director began to talk about him: "Time is running out, all guests should hurry up and complete the task." After saying that, he ran away.

The three of them sighed silently as they looked at the purse that had shrunk a lot.

All the money was spent, and it was impossible for that black-hearted boss to spit out the money again.Now it is more important to complete the task.

As the captain and eldest brother of this group, Xiao Yue took the initiative to call the door.

He knocked on the door twice, but didn't get a response for a long time, so he thought it was the director's team deliberately punishing them.

Just when he wanted to ask the director team, he heard a "squeak", the door opened, and a servant in coarse clothes came out.

Before Xiao Yue and the others opened their mouths to express their intentions, they saw the servant bowed to the three of them and said: "My master has been waiting inside the house for a long time, please come along with your father-in-law."

Everyone: "???"

They haven't said anything yet, so their master knows?And now they are wearing regular clothes, so you know they are "eunuchs" without evidence?

This is Zhuge Liang, right?You can know the world without going out.

In order to be able to smoothly enter the next stage, the director team has become less and less rigorous.

After complaining about the game bug set by the director team, Yin Tianyi followed his teammates and the servant into Yang's mansion step by step.

As one of the cabinet ministers, Yang Rong's mansion is naturally not too bad, not only not bad, but also extremely beautiful.

The three walked and watched as if Grandma Liu entered the Grand View Garden.

The servants led the three of them to the entrance of a garden named Xingyuan, stopped, bowed to the three of them, and said, "Father-in-law, please wait a moment, there are distinguished guests in the house, and my master is receiving guests." , please let me go and report."

Just when the servant was about to turn around and leave, Yin Tianyi suddenly stopped him, "Your lord must be busy with guests, it's not good for us to come and disturb you without saying hello today."

Hearing this, the servant felt that something was not quite right in his heart.

Sure enough, Yin Tianyi said in the next second: "So let's go back first and come back another day." After saying that, he winked at his teammates and got up to leave.

Domestic servant: "???"

Why didn't this person follow the script?

Yin Tianyi's move not only stunned the servants, even Xiao Yue and Cai Zhiwen were confused.

Xiao Yue pulled Yin Tianyi over and asked in a low voice: "Xiao Yi, what are you doing?"

I saw Yin Tianyi blinked at him, and said in a low voice, "I'm doing the opposite."

"What do you mean?" Xiao Yue couldn't turn the corner for a while.

Yin Tianyi explained: "Just now the servant told us that a distinguished guest came to the house and their master is waiting for guests. He is going to report and ask us to wait. If I guessed correctly, when the servant comes back from the report, he will give us a problem."

"Maybe it's like Liu Bei visiting the thatched cottage three times, tossing us."

He paused and said, "If we don't do what they say, or fail to complete the task, then we won't be able to see their master. This is all a routine of variety shows."

As he said that, Yin Tianyi involuntarily puffed up his chest, and made a proud look that I had seen through everything a long time ago.

Hearing that, the two nodded, feeling that what he said was not unreasonable.

Xiao Yue asked: "Then what should we do next?"

"What we have to do is not to follow their routine." As he spoke, Yin Tianyi whispered to the two of them.

Hearing that, Cai Zhiwen was a little worried and said, "Will it be bad for us to do this?"

"No." Yin Tianyi said: "This is more interesting."

As he spoke, he continued: "If we leave like this, then everything the director arranged earlier will be in vain. So the servant just now will definitely come to us later."

Sure enough, before the three of them reached the gate, they saw a group of servants rushing towards them.

Only one person shouted loudly: "Several father-in-laws, please stay!"

The one who stopped them was the servant who welcomed them into the mansion earlier.At this moment his heart is broken.He has been a group performer for so long, and this is the first time he has seen such an unconventional star.

If these guests were really allowed to leave, how would they proceed with the rest of the plot?

Thinking about it, he saluted the three of them again and again, with a look of sincerity and trepidation: "I've neglected all the father-in-laws, are you villains? My lord wants to invite some father-in-laws to Xingyuan for a talk."

Hearing this, the three of them stopped in their tracks.Yin Tianyi blinked with his teammates, "What did I say?"

So the three of them pretended to be helpless, "Since you sincerely beg me, then I will reluctantly go with you" and followed the man straight into the apricot garden.

The apricot orchard is very lively, and the silk and bamboo are melodious. You can see many people standing or sitting in different clothes.After a few glances, Xiao Yue felt that this scene looked familiar. After thinking about it for a long time, he saw the signboard of Xingyuan before he suddenly remembered, isn't this the scene in "A Collection of Apricot Garden" painted by Ming Dynasty painter Xie Huan?

When Yang Rong's actor saw the three people coming, he put on an official airs: "Why are the father-in-laws coming to Yang's house today?"

Yin Tianyi: "..."

What are we here for, don't you know?

Xiao Yue stepped forward and cupped his hands and said, "We came here today to borrow something from Mr. Yang."

"Oh?" NPC Yang Rong put down the teacup and said, "Dare to ask my father-in-law, what do you want to borrow?"

"We would like to take advantage of the Xuande Furnace that the Holy Majesty rewarded you."

Hearing this, Yang Rong laughed, "I've only heard of borrowing money and clothes, but I've never heard of borrowing stoves."

After speaking, he stood up and said, "It's not impossible for some of you who want to borrow. It's just that ordinary people say 'it's not difficult to borrow if you have something,' I can lend you something, but how do you guarantee it?"

Are you asking them for money?

Xiao Yue asked: "How does your lord want us to guarantee it?"

The actor who played Yang Rong smiled slightly, "This Xuande furnace is a gift from the Holy One. It is a sacred object. Logically speaking, I should not lend it out at will. But I think some father-in-laws are kind-hearted, and they don't look like treacherous people, so I agree." lend you something."

"The guarantee money old man will not overcharge you."

Hearing this, several people felt that things were not as simple as that.The owner of the fried cake shop who said that the price of the car rental was fair and sound charged them a tael of silver!

Sure enough, he heard him say in the next second: "I just want to accept a hundred taels of gold."

Why don't you just rob!

Xiao Yue endured the twitching of the corner of his mouth, and began to bargain with the other party: "Master Yang, the price of this hundred taels of gold is really too high, can it be cheaper?"

Hearing this, the actor playing Yang Rong blew his beard and stared at him, and slammed the table: "This is a gift from the Holy One, and it is hard to find! How expensive is a hundred taels of gold?"

He said with a serious face, "Don't you think the things bestowed by the Holy Majesty are not worth so much silver?"

Good guy, you can't refute even if you put such a big hat on someone's head.

Yin Tianyi asked straight to the point: "But we don't have so much silver, what should we do?"

I saw that Mr. Yang smiled meaningfully, "It's easy to do without silver taels. Just use other things of the same value to pay for it."

Just as the director team and the NPC were waiting for this group of guests to ask, "What do you want as collateral?"

The three of them rushed forward and held this "Master Yang" hostage.

Before the NPC playing Master Yang understood the situation, he heard Yin Tianyi's beating voice: "Master Yang's life should be worth a hundred taels of gold, right?"

Only to hear "Master Yang" said angrily: "I'm not a thing!"
