Chapter 725: 2 copper coins

The officer surnamed Chen is named Chen Shou. Originally, he was skeptical about the letter he received, but after all, he was a veteran who had gone on expeditions with the army and had experienced several **** battles. Be more cautious, and now that he has seen the word "Fu", Chen Shou can almost conclude that this thing is a treasure.

What else is there to say, Chen Shou has only one thought in his mind now, to take down the word "blessing". Of course, he did not dare to forget the points that need attention in the letter, but first of all he has to make sure that he can take action I can take this baby.

Many people gathered in front of the young man's booth to look at his goods, which included exquisite carvings and some accessories, while Chen Shou took a step back and reached the periphery, where several sergeants who came with him teased.

"This person is crazy about money, and he dares to ask for ten taels of gold for a piece of blessing, which is enough to buy a good house."

"That's right, ten cents is about the same!" "Uh, this word does look like a famous pen, so ten cents is still cheaper."

"Then one hundred yuan, no more."

Chen Shou took a few steps closer to them, looked at the stall over there, and asked his companions in a low voice.

"How much money do you have? How much can you take out?"

"Ah? Brother Chen, what do you want to buy?" "What do you want to buy, didn't you bring enough money?"

"Yeah, I remembered that my family wanted me to bring something back, and the money was not enough."

Chen Shou thought about it carefully and found that he had about seven or eight taels of silver and half-dangling copper coins, as well as a silver bill of twenty taels and a silver bill of ten taels, but the bank of the silver bills is not here, in the short term Not redeemable for cash.

First, Chen Shou was a senior in the army, and second, he was usually a good person, so when he wanted to help, everyone was happy to check his cash.

"I brought two taels with me." "I have four taels of silver and more than a hundred pennies."

"I have one or two here, too." "Du Bo, I have a piece of broken gold here, maybe one or two."

A group of people gathered together, not counting the silver notes, the total amount of silver was worth forty taels, Chen Shou frowned.

"It's not enough, it's not enough..."

Others were puzzled.

"Chen Dubo, is this not enough?" "Brother Chen, what do you want to buy?"

"You don't really want to buy that blessing, do you?"

When someone saw Chen Shou glancing at the booth over there, he couldn't help but ask, Chen Shou quickly smiled and shook his head.

"I really like the word "Fu", it looks like the pen of a famous family, but 12 taels of gold is too much."

"that is……"

"Let's go, let's stroll around."

Chen Shou said hello, and everyone went to the other place, but before leaving, Chen Shou approached the stall where there were many fewer people at the moment, and the man over there who was counting copper coins also raised his head to look at him.

"Mr. Jun, what is there to see? If you want to buy it, I will give you a cheaper price."

Chen Shou shook his head and looked at the blessing character on the basket, it really looked like it was newly written not long ago.

"This word..."

"Do you want to buy this word?"

The young man was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously reached out and pressed the word blessing.

"This character, you should not sell it. No matter whether it has been opened or not, just focus on this calligraphy, and you should keep it well and take it home."

Seeing that Chen Shou didn't want to buy it, the man grinned again.

"I don't have to worry about it, Mr. Jun. I have my own measure, and I won't sell it if it's too low."

Sure enough, the surname was Zhang, and Chen Shou nodded.

"Then put away the words. There is a saying that wealth is not exposed, and the same is true for this word. By the way, when do you usually come to set up a stall?"

Zhang Su scratched his head, what happened to this sergeant? But after all, the other party seemed to be an officer and did not dare to neglect.

"It's hard to say. I won't come when I'm lucky. If I come to set up a stall, it's usually near noon."

"Um."

Chen Shou nodded, glanced at the blessing again, and left with the soldiers beside him.

After Zhang Sil set up the booth again, seeing that there was not much business, he also put away his things, put on a pole and left. He was humming a little song on the way back, and he was in a good mood. He stretched his hand into his arms and weighed the money bag. The sound of copper coins and broken silver crashing against each other was more pleasant than singing.

"Hey, there are almost a couple of sales today!"

Zhang Sil glanced at the rolled up character of blessing in one of the baskets. He knew that this character must have really been opened. It has never faded since he can remember, and the elders in the family also value this character for blessing very much. .

But Zhang Sui felt that the word "Fu" was just a little bit of warding off evil spirits. It couldn't even drive away snakes, worms, rats, and ants. Zhang's family was just a little richer than ordinary people. There is no real big family with rich clothes and jade food, and I have never heard of any windfalls in the family, all of which are the hard work and thrift of the older generation.

Therefore, in the eyes of Zhang Sui, who has read it for nearly 20 years since he was a child, the word "Fu" is not so mysterious. Of course, since Zhang's family moved, the word has not been posted outside, but has been hidden in the cabinet. , this collection is almost ten years old.

The family has been living well all these years. In fact, the Zhang family almost forgot the word "Fu". It wasn't until Zhang Sui was looking for pawns a few days ago that he rediscovered this piece that he thought he had long lost. The word "Fu" was spoken, but Zhang Sui didn't say anything.

...

After Chen Shou returned to the military camp, he began to become absent-minded. For two days, his mind was full of the word "Fu" that he had seen before.

In the past two days, after he went out for exercises, he would go to the market, but he never saw the man named Zhang Su again, not to mention that he hadn't collected enough money, which made Chen Shou worry about gains and losses.

Today, when I came back from the market again, Chen Shou passed a white tent and saw that the people inside were writing, and he had something in his heart. Maybe months, it's just too far.

The master in the tent looked up and saw Chen Shou wandering about to leave, so he stopped him.

"Chen Dubo? Are you in trouble?"

Chen Shou paused in his footsteps, under the irritability in his heart, thinking about the master's knowledge and good relationship with him, he might be able to relieve his anguish, so he walked in.

Chen first cupped his hands, and then sighed.

"Mr. Qi, I'm really distressed."

The master's name is Qi Yuantian, who was originally from Gyeonggi Prefecture. When Dazhen and Zu Yue went to war, like many enthusiastic scholars, he mentioned Sanchi Qingfeng and went directly to the north of the army.

Qi Yuantian got up and returned the salute, and then motioned Chen Shou to sit on the stool on the side, he hurriedly ended the text in his hand, and pressed the seal, before putting down his pen and looking at Chen Shou.

"Chen Dubo, what's the trouble?"

"Hey, I'm looking at... I'm looking at a favorite thing, but why it's too expensive, and the person who sells this thing hasn't appeared recently, and my heart is itching!"

Qi Yuantian was a little curious, he knew about Chen Shou, he was a good man, and his mind was clear. Don't look at it as just a team of Dubos. In fact, the superiors intended to promote him as a military candidate, and he was defeated in the last battle. It's just a reward for the army's salary, but the credit has not been fully reckoned. Based on Chen Shou's performance last time, this promotion should be solid.

"Oh? What is it?"

"Yes... hey, it's a rare thing, I can't tell. By the way, Mr. Qi, how many silver taels do you have, can you lend me some?"

"I?"

Qi Yuantian was a little amused, he took out his purse and took a look inside. In addition to copper coins, there were also some silver ingots and pieces of silver and gold.

"It's probably worth a hundred taels of silver."

Chen Shou was taken aback.

"So much? Could you lend me some, thirty taels, thirty taels is enough!"

"Thirty-two? This is not a small amount!"

Qi Yuantian smiled.

"Then, should Mr. Qi borrow it or not?"

"Borrow, Chen Dubo can't trust Qi Mou?"

Now Chen Shou felt a lot better.

"Hahaha, thank you Mr. Qi, thank you! Alas, it's a pity that money alone is not enough..."

Qi Yuantian looked at him, lowered his head and sorted out the gold and silver from his purse. He was not like some sergeants, and sometimes he would go to the lavish places to vent after a siege. Many rewards were saved, and his position was not low, so he had extra money. Not a lot.

After picking a few times in the purse, suddenly, a cluster of golden light flashed, causing Qi Yuantian to move for a while, and then he moved his finger in the purse. The two copper coins in it seemed to be more eye-catching than the other coins.

"Mr. Qi? What's wrong?"

"Ah? Oh, it's okay, it's okay, thirty taels, right? I happen to have a silver scale here..."

Watching Qi Yuantian take out the whole or broken pieces of gold and silver for weighing, Chen Shou thought about the word "blessing" and suddenly asked another question.

"Mr. Qi, what do you mean by being blessed?"

In fact, every time Qi Yuantian took gold and silver, he looked at the depths of the purse, but when he heard this question, he still found it interesting, so he raised his head to answer.

"Actually, according to Qi's opinion, the so-called "blessing" is not about being rich and noble, or about embracing clothes and food."

"what is that?"

"I remember discussing this with Brother Deng when I was still in school. What is blessing? A well-off family, a harmonious family, no disasters, no illnesses, no pain, no hatred of others, and no hatred by others~www. lightnovelpub.net~ In general, life is smooth, comfortable and comfortable, without too many troubles, longevity of parents, virtuous wives, full children and grandchildren, all are blessings, you look at this place where ancestors crossed, so people can how many?"

Chen Shou listened deeply and nodded in agreement.

"Mr. Qi is right. In the past, Zuyue and the wealthy family were easy to be missed, and the powerful family was caught in a whirlpool..."

"That's it."

Qi Yuantian also weighed the gold and silver at this meeting.

"About thirty-two taels, it's not very easy to divide, Chen Dubo, let's use it first."

"Hey, thank you Mr. Qi!"

Chen Shou stood up and bowed before taking the gold and silver handed by the other party. The heavy feeling made him feel more at ease.

"Chen Mou is leaving, Mr. Qi can come to me if he has something, and he will definitely help me if he can!"

"Well, I won't send it."

Qi Yuantian also stood up and returned the salute. When Chen Shou left, he immediately sat down and took out two copper coins from the purse. Once the money was taken out, it looked ordinary, but the feeling was still there.

"This money is... that's right!"

Qi Yuantian suddenly recalled that before he joined the army, it seemed that in a teahouse in Gyeonggi Prefecture, a gentleman had left him two wen tea money, but after thinking about it carefully, he could not remember what the man looked like. .

‘No, when I joined the army not long ago, didn’t I lose the purse once, and this copper coin should also be lost together… Isn’t it the two? ’

Qi Yuantian frowned and thought for a while, and intuitively told him that the two copper coins were the original two.

"Uh, the battle is almost over, and it's almost New Year's Eve, should I go to the market and buy something?"

Because of Chen Shou's words, Qi Yuantian also moved to the market.
