Chapter 8 Mineral Water Bottles Beyond History

These tenants have never seen the thief, but they have heard of it through hearsay.

It is said that those thieves are all five big and three thick, fat and strong, with beards and chins, and they look fierce and vicious like little ghosts.

But the young man in front of him not only has a dignified manner, but even has red lips and white teeth, he is like a rich man who just walked out of a story book.

If you say that this person is a bandit, everyone will absolutely not believe it.

Sun Jie was a little dazed. The tenants in front of him gathered together and left themselves there, but they didn't respond.

If you doubt yourself, at least you have some reactions, right?

If you don't doubt yourself, you have to say something, so you don't have nothing to say?
"Everyone, I want to ask, what is our place?"

Sun Jie spoke again, with a more tactful tone.

The tenants finally discussed what to do, and an elderly man stepped out of the crowd.

The old man had some prestige among these people, put the hoe in his hand on the ground, and came to Sun Jie.

First he made a long bow to Sun Jie, and then he said with a smile: "Young Lord, our name is Liujiapo, and it is a land of more than ten miles around, all of which belong to Prince Qin's mansion, and we are tenants of Prince Qin's family!

We don't know where the little man came from, and we don't know where the little man is going, but I think the little man looks good, so he shouldn't be a thief.

I have never seen such a handsome young man in my life.Now that the soldiers are in chaos, Mr. Xiao Lang doesn't dare to run around.Today is the inspection time of King Qin's Mansion. It is estimated that the steward of King Qin's Mansion will come over after a while.

Old man, I'm stupid, I can't say anything clearly, why don't you wait for the steward to come later, you can ask him? ! "

The old man's face was full of sincerity, and he didn't look like he was lying.

Hearing this, Sun Jie made up his mind.

If this is the case, maybe they can really sneak into Xi'an Fucheng.

The current king of Qin is Zhu Cunshu, Sun Jie knows a thing or two about this person.

This person is a person who is extremely incompetent, has surrendered to the bandits and slaves successively, and is a person who is greedy for glory and wealth.

In fact, since the Ming Dynasty has developed to the present, most of the princes are like this.

Even the servants in the palace are basically like this, only looking for profit.

"If that's the case, then let's do it!" Sun Jie nodded and agreed.

The old man's brows stretched a little, and he led the people, beckoning Sun Jie to sit in the yard of his house.

The courtyard wall of his house is only as high as one person, and it is made of some sparse fences.

Sun Jie sat on a stone pier in the yard, and the old man sat opposite him.

Between them stood a low table with a broken clay pot on it.

After a few cups of poor tea, although it is a bit bitter, it tastes special at this time.

The tea is not good, but in this farmhouse, it can be regarded as a good hospitality. Maybe they took out all the tea for entertaining guests during the Chinese New Year.

Chen Hu and the others stood behind Sun Jie like an iron tower, observing the surroundings vigilantly.

The old man brought stools for the three of them, but the three of them refused to sit down no matter what.

This made the old man more convinced that Sun Jie was definitely not an ordinary person.

How could ordinary people have such tall three attendants?
Moreover, the clothes on these three people did not even have patches.

Not long after, news of Sun Jie's arrival spread throughout the village.

There are about fifty families in the village, and the big girls and young wives in the village are all surrounded by the fence, standing on tiptoe and looking inside.

Sun Jie's appearance is not very handsome, but he is not bad. In later generations, he can be called a cool and sunny boy.

In the Ming Dynasty where malnutrition was common, Sun Jie's appearance could almost be described as precious.

Those girls and daughters-in-law have never been out of the village for fifty miles since they were young, and the people they usually come into contact with are rough men. Where have they seen outsiders?
Therefore, when they saw Sun Jie's appearance, they couldn't take their eyes off for an instant.

His face turned red, as if he had drunk alcohol.

"What are you looking at? Hurry up and go home and cook, he is a star in the sky, don't look at it any more!"

The scolding from her husband's family continued, and jealousy began to envelope her.

The parents of those big girls also scolded them to go back.

I am afraid that after tonight, Sun Jie's figure will appear in many people's dreams.

Half-grown children huddled in the yard in tattered clothes, their faces full of curiosity.

Many adults are crowded here, let alone Sun Jie.

Except for the obese steward of Prince Qin's mansion, there is no one else in the village on weekdays. Now that such a handsome young man is here, how can he not attract attention?
Sun Jie drank tea quietly, smiling at the people watching from time to time.

The sun rose to the sky, and it was already noon.

A donkey cart appeared outside the village, and the steward of Prince Qin's mansion came.

"Why don't you see these tenants busy today? What a strange thing!"

The steward sitting on the donkey cart looked at the surrounding fields, and there were almost no people in the sparse wheat field, which made the steward very puzzled.

However, he generally doesn't care about these things.

The harvest of the crop land belongs to these tenants, as long as the tenants can pay enough rent every year, the rest is ignored.

As soon as he entered the village, the steward was discovered by tenants in the village.

The old man soon found out about the news, so he asked Sun Jie to wait here for a while, and then rushed to greet him with a few people.

The number of people around suddenly decreased by more than half. Sun Jie looked in the direction the old man left, in a state of contemplation.

After a while, looking at Chen Hu behind him, "Give me the mineral water bottle!"

Although he didn't know what Sun Jie wanted this bottle for, he still took one out of his bosom and handed it to Sun Jie.

After Sun Jie drank the water bottle, he threw it away. Seeing that it was a strange thing, Chen Hu picked it up.

In other words, Chen Hu has several of them now.

He tore off the label on the bottle, let out a sigh, and wiped the dirt off with his sleeve.

A transparent as new water bottle appeared in front of Sun Jie.

Putting it into his arms, he sat quietly like a normal person.

A quarter of an hour later, the steward of Prince Qin's Mansion walked into the yard led by the old man.

"I said, old man Liu, you are quite courageous. Don't you know what the world is like now? If you were a thief, how much do you think your head is worth? Are you not afraid that the court will chop you off?"

Before the person arrives, the sound has arrived.

Not long after the sound fell, Sun Jie saw a large group of villagers walking into the yard surrounded by a fat middle-aged man about five feet tall.

Old man Liu followed behind the middle-aged man, carefully explaining: "Master in charge, he is definitely not a thief. I have lived for decades, old man, and I have never seen such a handsome man!"

The steward saw Sun Jie and Chen Hu and the three behind Sun Jie.

He who was still muttering, now also shut his mouth.

At any rate, he is the steward of Prince Qin's mansion, so he has basic eyesight.

Although the king of Qin in Shaanxi is the largest, this is a society of personal affection, and one cannot act recklessly with one's own status. Don't forget how the first king of Qin died. Some people should be treated well.

Sun Jie was well-dressed and well-mannered. At first glance, he was not an ordinary person. The steward put away his contempt.

Arching his hands, he came to Sun Jie: "This little brother, where is he from?"

There are not many smiles, but the tone is much better than before.

Watching people order dishes is the housekeeping skill of these people.

"As for me, let's keep my origin secret for the time being. I came here today because of you!" Sun Jie stood up, bowed back, and said with a smile.

The steward was puzzled, he had never seen this person before, it was really strange that he came here suddenly today and said that he came here for me.

"Do you and I know each other? What do you want me for?" the steward asked cautiously.

The steward looked at Sun Jie for a while, and thought to himself: "Is this guy here to seek a relationship? Could it be that he wants to gain a relationship with the King of Qin through me?"

Thinking of this, the steward couldn't help feeling contemptuous.

This kind of thing has been encountered too much, no wonder he thinks so.

Sun Jie said with a smile: "Your Excellency and I have never met each other, today is just right!"

"Interesting, what's the matter, tell me quickly, I still have something to do!" The manager's tone began to become harsh, and the easy-going just now disappeared completely.

Sun Jie smiled, and slowly took out the mineral water bottle from his arms.

The steward's eyes straightened, fixed on the mineral water bottle in Sun Jie's hand, almost popping out.

"What is this? Why is it so pure?" The steward pointed to the mineral water bottle in Sun Jie's hand and asked with a trembling tone.

Pure is like nothing, how can it not be surprising?
Sun Jie didn't explain, and poured the cold tea on the table into it.

The slightly turbid tea soup is clumsy in a rough porcelain bowl, but when it enters this bottle, it feels somewhat clear.

Sun Jie put the water bottle under the sunlight and turned it slightly. The light refracted by the water bottle produced a feeling of radiance.

The people around were fascinated by it, and felt that the bottle was even more rare.

The steward also became agitated.

"This thing, is this a glass bottle? No, glass bottles are not that big, and they are not so pure.

There are several glazed bottles in the palace, but they are all the size of a palm, and they are not so pure. What are these?Could it be the legendary jade bottle? "

The steward immediately started to think wildly, staring intently at the mineral water bottle in Sun Jie's hand.

The steward is a field steward in the palace of King Qin, named Zhou Da, whose status is not high. There are several stewards like him in the palace.

Although his status is not high, he is the steward of Prince Qin's Mansion, and has seen many good things, but he has never seen such a pure bottle.

Putting down the bottle in his hand, Sun Jie said: "Your Excellency is in charge of the palace, what do you think, if this kind of thing is sold, how much can it be sold for?"

The steward stared at the bottle, thought for a while, and said: "This thing is extremely miraculous, the turbid bad tea soup inside is like fine nectar, if it is sold, it must be worth a lot.

There is no such thing in the market, so it is difficult to estimate the price.But last year, the prince sent people to buy glazed ornaments in the southeast, and there was a palm-sized glazed bottle inside. That thing cost nearly a hundred taels of silver. It is estimated that the price of this item should be higher than it! "

Sun Jie picked up the bottle again, shook it in front of Zhou Da, and said with a smile: "If I give this to you, what do you think?"

"Haha, is it true? Really?"

Zhou Da became excited and smiled.But the excitement was fleeting, and doubts welled up in my heart.

As the saying goes: If you don't have anything to do, you are either rape or robbery.There is no free lunch.

"hiss!"

Zhou Da took a deep breath and looked at Sun Jie suspiciously, "Send me? You and I are neither relatives nor related, so why send me? Did you ask me for something?"

Sun Jie said: "I still have several bottles like this one. Unfortunately, I'm not familiar with the place where I live, so I don't know how to sell them. Since you are in charge of the palace, you should know how to sell them!"

"Understood, understood!" Zhou Dalian nodded, and took the bottle from Sun Jie's hand without any politeness.

As soon as he got it, Zhou Da was shocked again.

I thought this thing was hard, but I didn't expect it to be so thin, as warm as jade, smooth and fine.

"Okay, hahaha, okay!"

Zhou Da played with it repeatedly, laughing from ear to ear.

After a long time, General Zhou poured out the water in it, stuffed the bottle carefully into his arms, and said: "I will accept this thing, I am very curious, you have this kind of treasure, and you don't dress like ordinary people , the origin should be extraordinary, there should be a way to sell it, why do you want me to help?"

This is the point that Zhou Da couldn't understand the most. Sun Jie was not an ordinary person at all in his clothes.

Needless to say, the price of this kind of treasure, if other people would like to hide it carefully, why would Sun Jie want a piece of it for himself?

"Your Excellency, you should understand this better than me, you should understand better than me!!!" Sun Jie pointed in the direction of Xi'an Mansion, and smiled thoughtfully.

Zhou Da also quickly understood, "Hahaha, I understand, I understand."

It's just a matter of finding a thigh to handle things. Is there anyone in Shaanxi who is more famous than King Qin?

"Aren't you afraid that I'll cheat on you? Are you afraid that I'll take away all your goods? Take away all your supplies?" Zhou Da's eyes suddenly became sinister, which was testing Sun Jie's details.

Sun Jie was still the same as before, he didn't care.

"Whether you want to make money for a while or for a lifetime, you should understand better than me.

Only I can get these things of mine.I'm not bragging about this, in this world, only I can get these.

If you want to try it, you can try it, I will accompany you anytime! "

Sun Jie was indifferent, and he didn't take Zhou Da's threat seriously.

This inevitably made Zhou Da look at Sun Jiegao again.

"Hahaha!"

Zhou Da's face became faster than that of a rabbit, since that's the case, it's easy to handle.

"This is not a place to talk, why don't we talk in detail in the city?" Zhou Da put on a smile.

Sun Jie nodded and said: "Okay, let's go to the city, there are some things I need to clarify.

A few days ago, I was robbed by bandits, Lu Yin and all his money were robbed. "

Zhou Da was taken aback, and said: "Those people only robbed guides and money? Why didn't they rob you of your treasure?"

"Who knows, maybe the bandits don't know what to do!" Sun Jie said nonsense.

Of course Zhou Da could hear that there was something wrong with Sun Jie's words, but he didn't ask any more questions, he just sighed a remark that bandits don't know what to say.

Everyone has their own secrets, Sun Jie didn't say it clearly, and Zhou Da didn't bother to ask, as long as he can make money in the future, as long as he has nothing to do with the thief, it doesn't matter what his origin is.

Besides, it's still a long time, so it's okay to investigate slowly, don't rush for a moment.

As for the tenants around, Zhou Da didn't pay attention at all.In his eyes, these tenants are not considered human beings at all. They don't know what is treasure and what is not.

I don't know a single word, and I can't speak clearly. What are you afraid of?
As for spreading it out?No one will come here for ten days and a half months, and no one will come except yourself, so how do you spread the word?
 Thank you for the monthly ticket in the wind and snow, thank you for the recommended ticket for Bingtang without Sydney, no one loves you, Xiangcheng Fallen Angel, thank you for your support! ! !
