Emperor Xiaoyao of Tang Dynasty

Chapter 106 Little Days ([-]) Revised Edition

Although it was already sunset, the temperature was still a bit high, and the roads were bustling with pedestrians. They had to pass by Dongshi on their way home. Small vendors in Dongshi seized the last time to sell more goods and earn more money. Subsidize the family.

Jin Yu led the horse and moved forward slowly along the flow of people. Occasionally picked up a few utensils, but felt that they were not refined enough, and suddenly lost the desire to buy, but bought a lot of vegetables.

There are fewer people in the city, and the business is not so good. An old farmer squatted behind the bamboo basket, looking at Jinyu eagerly, or more precisely, watching the people coming and going, hoping to ask someone to buy it.Jin Yu was also curious, and stretched his head over to take a look. The husband seemed to be grabbing at a life-saving straw, and asked dully: "Young master```buy some peaches? I just picked them today, and they are fresh."

But the fruit in the bamboo basket is very disrespectful to its owner, the skin is dry and dull.Seeing Jin Yu's disbelief, the old farmer was a little anxious, can he not be anxious?It has been on display for a day, but there is no one to buy. Seeing that the sun is about to set, if it cannot be sold, it will be even more difficult to sell the next day.The old farmer reached out and took out a few fruits from the bamboo basket, wiped them with his sleeve, showed them to Jin Yu, and explained: "There are only a few peach trees in the old man's house within a hundred miles around, so it's a bit like this. It's yellow, but it was definitely picked this morning, young master, take a look! You can try it, it's sweet!"

Jin Yu took it over and looked at it, but no, it's quite fresh, but it's not as good as it looks, and he looked at it suddenly.Take a bite and taste it, it's not bad, sweet, it's clearly a cherry for future generations!Jin Yu spat out the nucleus and asked, "How do you sell this? Uncle."

"Three pennies per catty, if you get a round, my lord, I'll give you two pennies and five pennies." The old man saw Jin Yu asking the price, with a blunt smile on his face, he stretched out three fingers, and even squeezed half of it.You can tell it's an amateur seller at a glance, and you can't even smile to please, and you can't take care of the appearance of cherries, just sprinkle some water!
"Then give me ten pennies." These days, fresh fruits are in short supply, and the common people are frightened of hunger, so they plant food first, and no one grows fruit trees at all, and even the law does not allow it.Jin Yu has been here for so long, and he hasn't eaten a few times. He weighed three catties, and the couple can eat for two days.

"Young master is not as cost-effective as Baoyuan. This basket is only more than 20 catties. There is not a single leaf. They are all freshly picked." The old farmer tried his best to fool Jinyu into buying them all. It is more difficult to shoot.

"No need, just ten cents." Jin Yu shook his head and refused. Cherries can't be eaten as a meal. It's okay to eat occasionally, but it's definitely not a meal.

The old farmer saw that Jinyu wanted ten cents, so he borrowed the scale from the stall next to him, quickly weighed three and a half catties for Jinyu, and the weight was returned to the old man. It seemed that he was a real person.He took the time to point it out to Jin Yu for a look.After handing it to Jin Yu, he still didn't give up, gritted his teeth and said, "If you want to make a round, you will be paid two pennies!"

"Uncle, are you in a hurry to go home?" The old farmer asked again and again, and Jin Yu understood that he was in a hurry to sell the goods.

"Well, it's a bit far from home. If you can't sell it, it will be even harder to sell it the next day. It's a pity if you sell it." The old farmer didn't hide anything, and told the truth.

"I'll tell uncle a way. Uncle listen. If you think it works, try it. It will sell faster." Jin Yu took off the cloth bag from the horse, asked the old farmer to pour the cherries into it, and said, "Uncle, find some water. Sprinkle it on top to make the peaches look brighter, and then take some out and share it with passers-by, taste first and then buy."

The old farmer's eyes lit up, but he was a little tangled: "Sprinkling water will weigh the scale, isn't it good?"

Jin Yu was a little speechless, the people these days are really simple, who wouldn't want to make more money by crooked ways?But such a person is even more cute, Jin Yu patiently explained: "Press the scale, uncle just let the scale be higher, and add two more at the end, let's say that the top is watery, no one will hold it accountable?"

"Well, sir, that's a good idea." The old farmer thought about it, nodded, and then grabbed two more peaches and stuffed them into the cloth bag without waiting for Jin Yu's rejection, which was regarded as a thank you gift.

Seeing that he was so honest, Jin Yu didn't refuse, and suggested: "Uncle, if you pick it up and sell it next time, you might as well pick some leaves by hand, it will look fresher, and it will be better if people know that it is freshly picked." Sell."

After the old farmer thanked Jin Yu for sending him away, he impatiently tried the method Jin Yu said. Not to mention, the effect was obvious. There was not much left, and he sold it in a short while. It's over.

Holding the rein of the horse, Jin Yu took out a few cherries, and ate them while walking, feeling very comfortable.After walking a few steps, I heard a familiar voice: "You sour scholar! You stained the young master's clothes, how can you pay for it!"

"How can you be so unreasonable, young man? It's clear that your clothes were spilled on someone's desk, and ink was splashed on them. You didn't ask you to pay for the four treasures of your study. How could you ask someone to pay for your clothes instead?" A middle-aged frail scholar Some bitterly argued.

"Then according to what you mean, as long as I accompany you with the four treasures of the study, you will pay for my clothes? Well, after the calculation, you will definitely find my money!" Sun Chong who punched a few times.He was unlucky today, and lost all his money in the gambling house, so he happened to encounter such a problem, and he felt a bit angry by the way.

After listening to a few sentences, Jin Yu understood what it meant. Grandpa Changsun Chong was finding fault and bullying people here again, and shouted outside the crowd: "It's all gone, it's all gone, what's the point of arguing? Don't be afraid of getting burned." what?"

The people onlookers didn't know Chang Sun Chong, but they could tell from the color and material of the clothes that he was a noble man. Hearing what Jin Yu said, coupled with Chang Sun Chong's unreasonable attitude, it was really possible to find fault with him. Slowly retreating, giving up a large piece of land, leaving enough space for the few people in the middle, so as to save myself from being "taken back", but no one left. It seems that Chinese people like to watch the excitement It is not a patent of later generations!
When Chang Sun Chong heard someone talking outside, he could tell it was Jin Yu from the voice, and his face became even darker.He is now on the edge of his horns, wishing he could slap Jin Yu to death, the biggest reason is not the last time he was beaten, but because Jin Yu kissed Chang Le!That is the daughter-in-law in his heart!This is the hatred of taking his wife!

Jin Yu didn't want to meddle in this business at first, but after knowing that he was saving Chang Le, he also felt a little worried. He didn't want to make enemies with Chang Sun Chong, not because he was afraid of Chang Sun Chong, but because of his father!Changsun Wuji's uncle was really "running wild" in the later stage, even the queen dared to provoke him, and it was as easy as drinking cold water to trip him up a little bit?
Jin Yu shook his head, grabbed two handfuls of cherries, squeezed them to Chang Sun Chong's side, handed them to Chang Sun Chong with a smile, and said, "Have some? It's delicious."

Chang Sun Chong was obviously stunned for a moment. He didn't expect Jin Yu to be so kind today. Could it be that he was overwhelmed by his "bad spirit"?After all, I was still a child, so I didn't know whether to pick it up or not.

"Don't dare to eat it? Why are you afraid that I will be poisoned?" Jin Yu joked with a smile.

"Hmph! There is no little``` that I dare not eat!" Chang Sun Chong was provoked by Jin Yu, and reached out to take the cherry. Fortunately, Jin Yu's old fists last time made him remember deeply, and he did not talk to Jin Yu again. Called himself "Master".

Seeing that someone was inserted, the scholar was not sure what he was doing, but he didn't say anything to provoke Chang Sun Chong.

Jin Yu saw that Chang Sun Chong imitated himself and wiped a cherry with his sleeve and stuffed it into his mouth. He didn't think it was dirty at all, and he felt a good impression in his heart. There are not a few nobles who pick and choose.He asked kindly, "How does it taste?"

"Hmph, so-so." Although Chang Sun Chong said so, his subordinates didn't stop.

After all, Jin Yu has been in contact with children before, and he knows that such a big child pays attention to ostentation and face, and doesn't care about the clothes.He praised his grandson and said: "Master Changsun's behavior is admirable. Jin did not expect that Young Master Changsun would come out to understand the sufferings of the people at such a late hour. He is a role model for my generation."

Changsun Chong was a little confused about Jin Yu's tricks, but Jin Yu mentioned his father and set him up so high, he couldn't help but reply: "I dare not compare with my father, he is still far away from my father."

"Father Tiger has no sons, the eldest grandson will definitely be able to do it." Jin Yu continued to praise the eldest grandson Chong.

"My father has always been a role model in my heart." The eldest Sun Chong was very happy when he heard this, and he spoke a lot more politely.If he had heard the saying "the higher you hold, the harder you fall", he wouldn't be in a good mood.

"That's right, I'm afraid Master Changsun won't care about little people, right? Young Master Changsun just sells Jin's face, how about showing his hands high?" Jin Yu saw that he was almost flattered, and gave Changsun a step up.

After hearing Jin Yu's words, Chang Sun Chong knew that he had fallen into Jin Yu's trap, but he couldn't open his mouth to refute. Wouldn't it be a slap in the face to refute?Suppressing the unhappiness in his heart, he hummed to the scholar: "I am in a good mood today, so I will spare you this."

"Master Changsun has a big stomach!" Jin Yu gave Changsun Chong a sweet date in time, saving him from getting mad.

The eldest grandson gave Jin Yu a blank look, and didn't say anything. In fact, he was a little scared of Jin Yu, not because Jin Yu was good at it, and he had a lot of skills. He could find some good ones, and he could still be knocked down. Are you afraid of kitchen knives?"It's that his father has mentioned at home more than once what His Majesty said about returning to Tang.Being valued by His Majesty, he will definitely have a bright future in the future. It's not that Chang Sun Chong has no brains at all, and he also doesn't want to make a strong enemy for his family.

"In the past few days, Jin has been puzzled by something, and I hope that the grandson can explain it to Jin." Jin Yu felt a little headache when he saw that the young man still hated himself.

"Returning to Tang Dacai, is there anything you don't understand?" Chang Sun Chong saw that there was something Jin Yu didn't understand, and he felt a little happy after comparing him. Who would let others keep saying that Jin returned to Tang Duocai?Seeing that he has a chance to overwhelm Jin Yu, he is happy to help.

"Of course, Jin has been troubled by this problem for the past few days. Jin found out that cousins ​​get married and have children, and many of them are idiots, but I don't know how much higher than distant relatives. Busy." Jin Yu brought up the issue of the marriage of close relatives in a roundabout way, so he didn't expect Chang Sun Chong to investigate it himself, and Chang Sun Wuji was able to handle such things neatly, and Jin Yu was also very worried that the elder Sun Chong thought he was indecent His daughter-in-law.

"Okay, this favor, I'll help!" Having the opportunity to overwhelm Jin Yu, Chang Sun Chong readily agreed, but he didn't think about how difficult it would be.
