The room was dull, and only the moonlight shining in from a small window could make people able to identify the location of the bed.
This wooden bed has been around for many years, and Du Qianrui was sold out of the house, and it was there.
Now, as long as people move slightly on it, they will make a few noises, as if they may fall apart at any time, but they have not fallen apart yet.
In front of the small window, Du Qianrui was there when she was a child.
I had a deep impression in my memory, but I felt it was a little smaller, and it was not too bright in front of the big skylight, so my eyes were uncomfortable.
Looking at it now, it looks smaller... Maybe I have seen a larger window outside.
If during the day, you can see many cracks in the exposed brown-yellow earth wall.Many years ago, Du Qianrui was worried about whether the wall would collapse, but it is still fine now.
Everything is so familiar, after all, where you see it when you are born.
No matter how bad it is, Du Qianrui feels close. Every little memory from many years ago has found a point of fit here.
Although those memories are not very pleasant.
Everything is so strange that Du Qianrui doesn't know how she can survive here now.
She seemed to have a feeling of prosperity falling and returning to the original one.It seems like I can never go back again.
In the main hall outside the room, my parents seemed to have some disputes.I couldn't hear what my mother said, but I only heard my father repeatedly stressing: If you have debts outside, you have to buy and stamp your feet!
After a while, Manager Li's voice actually said: Nong Range is sleeping in tonight and will give Nong money immediately.
Du Qianrui hugged the quilt tightly, afraid that her father would agree!
Fuleyuan does have prostitutes who specialize in picking up customers, and they cannot pick up customers casually. They may have accepted it, but Du Qianrui really can't stand it.
The most terrifying thing in this world is that it is sold by parents, and even the government will not ask about it.
When she first came back, Du Qianrui wanted to run out again, but she could never take the first step... If a woman in this world had no relatives and no reason, she would have only two ways in the end. She would either become a boat girl to pick up customers, or be sold to a remote place for a child. Maybe she might be better than to follow Manager Li, and even more so at home.
It’s useless to have money. Wouldn’t you think about how long it can last? A single woman will always be targeted.
Du Qianrui's father said in his voice: No, it's a taboo.The eldest girl didn't nod, and there was movement at night, and she was hungry and looked up in front of her relatives and friends?
Then it seemed that the price was being negotiated.
Du Qianrui lingers for a long time, finally breaks the thread sewn to the lining and takes out the jade bracelet.She picked up the bracelet and looked at the moonlight in the small window, and finally took another look.
Cruff!The door was opened.Under the hazy oil lamp, all three of them turned around.
Du Qianrui picked up the jade bracelet, Dad, you promised not to sell it to me, just use this to pay off the debt.The bracelet is probably more valuable than me, and the copper coins are worth 100 cents!
One hundred jin...copper coins?Her father's eyes lit up and he walked over in two steps in three steps.
Du Qianrui said coldly: Dad, promise me first!
Her father nodded immediately and said: OK!
So Du Qianrui let go and put the jade bracelet in her father's hand.
Have a look hungry.Manager Li also looked over.Her father didn't understand very much, so he handed it to Manager Li. Anyway, this thing might eventually become Manager Li's.
Manager Li walked to the oil lamp and put the jade bracelet close to the lamp flame, almost sticking his eyes to the bracelet.
The previous frivolous expression was gone, and he looked very serious and slowly turned the jade bracelet without leaving a small area.
Sixty silo treasure notes.Manager Li said, I will give you money to Nongbao immediately!
Du Qianrui's father frowned and said: The hungry girl said she wanted 100 stagnant of copper coins!
Manager Li held the jade bracelet hard and kept putting it on, and said with a smile: Why is it worth a lot?If you are hungry in Yugan County, you can afford to pay 60 stagnant money.
Du Qianrui's father said: What about copper coins?
Manager Li said: By the way, there is a war in the north. In Jiangxi, it takes ten cents of money to be considered a cents of money.I only need five stakes of copper coins, but I can’t get hungry. I went to the county town in the Ming Dynasty.
Her father thought for a while and said, Baochao is the same every year, and he needs copper coins in hunger, ten stakes!The hungry big girl has knowledge, but she can make a fortune.
Manager Li smiled and said: "I got the money, but I said it as if I could control it until next year?"The same money spent, sixty silo money was more than five silo money.He smiled, and the flesh on his face seemed to be twisted together, and his hands never put down the jade bracelet.
He paused and said, it took dozens of miles to reach the county town, just like collecting money.Just make one, eighty cents, but you don’t have to vote for it.
Du Qianrui's father finally nodded and said: It's done.
Manager Li immediately put the jade bracelet in his arms carefully, patted it with his hands, took out a breath, and took out a stack of treasure money from his sleeve bag very readily, counted the few left, and handed it to Du Qianrui's father.
Her father also counted twice and took the oil lamp to take a closer look.
Manager Li smiled and said: Don’t worry!Look at the above words: The Secretariat reported that the Ming Dynasty treasure banknotes and copper coins were printed and used in public. Those who forged them were beheaded, and those who sued the arrested were rewarded with 250 taels of silver, and the prisoners were still given property.
He then turned his head to look at Du Qianrui with a smile and said: Wait for a while, sooner or later, I will be hungry!This world is the food for the weak and the strong.Hunger is better than the Nong family, so it is natural to win over Nong!
After the shopkeeper Li said that, he finally let Du Qianrui go temporarily and asked for a torch, saying that there was a boat waiting for him at the entrance of the village.
Du Qianrui went back to the room and locked the door, sat on the edge of the dark bed, without moving for a long time.She didn't do anything yet, but suddenly she felt very tired!
Now she is penniless and doesn't even have anything valuable.She didn't know what to do. Maybe Manager Li was right and would still sell him in a while...
But Du Qianrui didn't think that selling herself and suffering would be the end.
She definitely can't be the concubine of the Li family for the rest of her life. Whether she was disliked or the death of shopkeeper Li, who was nearly fifty years old, Du Qianrui could not escape the fate of being resold or driven away. It is estimated that being a boat girl will be her next destination.
When Du Qianrui took out the jade bracelet just now, hesitated, so hesitated; not to mention that the bracelet was green all over, without any flaws, and it was sold for a few stakes of copper coins... Later, I was really tired and took it away to save trouble, and it would be a day to go!
……
Manager Li took his own boat to Yugan County overnight. He didn't close his eyes all night, covering the jade bracelet in his arms, and still laughing from time to time.
The Du family’s little girl really came from a big place, and the things are not simple!
Lao Du is also a gifted boy.
What a good thing is the shopkeeper?The godson asked with a smile.
Manager Li shook his head and refused to comment. He was in a good mood and said: The girl in the Du family has a thin skin and tender flesh. I helped her and bought it after a while. I asked her to sleep with her for a few nights.
The godson touched his head: Why are you so embarrassed?
Manager Li sneered: "The girl was originally sold in the capital. I have seen some scenes and are very noble. After buying it, I will be fine with my hunger and Nong.
...It's only necessary to be real, and you don't have to worry about selling things.Only two days later, the pawnshop came and the possible affordable funder came.
The visitor was a man wearing a satin robe. He was not tall but very strong. When he saw his walking demeanor and expression, he was not an ordinary commoner.
The man walked around the pawn shop, staring at the bracelet, and didn't look at it, and shook his head with contempt.
Do guests want to pick bracelets for their ladies?Manager Li greeted with a smile on his face.
snort!The man let out a sound, and he didn't say anything.
Manager Li said: It is not suitable for Mrs. Ling to be placed outside.Hungry and have a good look.
The man nodded, but still didn't say anything. Could it be that he was a mute?
Manager Li asked his godson to come into the house and took out the jasper bracelet he had obtained two days ago.
First, I took the key to unlock the lock, uncovered the finely carved wooden box, and there was a piece of red silk pad inside, and the jade bracelet with green and flawless body appeared in front of me.
The man stretched his head, glanced at him, and shook his head!Then he went out soon.
Manager Li looked at his back and cursed after he left. In the jade bracelet, this is already the best, much more expensive than gold! If you can’t afford it, you can’t afford it. What can you pretend to be!
It’s nothing if you don’t buy it, Manager Li hid it again. As he has seen, good things never have to worry about selling them, they are just a matter of price.
Two more days later, before the hour of You, Manager Li’s godson took leave and went back first if he had something to do.Manager Li said: Nothing is enough, so I lock the door and close it.
It was almost late for a while. Seeing that there was no business, Manager Li was about to close, when a tall and strong young man walked in with a smile on his face.
Guest, should I be... to pick up goods?Manager Li also said with a smile.
The man said in the official dialect of the capital: I want to pick a bracelet for my mother to take it back. I want to have it, so I can just take a look when I pass by here.
This wooden bed has been around for many years, and Du Qianrui was sold out of the house, and it was there.
Now, as long as people move slightly on it, they will make a few noises, as if they may fall apart at any time, but they have not fallen apart yet.
