Chapter 128: Making Money

Chapter 128 A plan to make money

Walking out of Wangyue Tower in three steps and two steps at a time, Xuan Yue immediately pulled Xue'er, who had been waiting for a long time, and left quickly. She looked very embarrassed. This scene made the people around her shake their heads, thinking that he didn't

Answer the second line.

However, they did not know that it was not that Xuan Yue failed to answer the second line, but that she was afraid that stealing the fruit would be embarrassing, so with ten 100-denominated gold coins in her arms, Xuan Yue ran away as fast as if she was escaping from the execution ground.

Left Wangyue Tower.

Just after Xuan Yue left less than half a cup of tea, the second couplet written by Xuan Yue was framed and stood on the right side of the first couplet with two red strings."

"The smoke along the beautiful eaves smokes the swallow's eyes, and the rain entertains the jade and the fish."

A sharp-eyed scholar read out the second line slowly, and after reciting it back and forth several times, he slapped the person in front of him on the back.

"You bastard, why are you hitting me?" The person in front immediately turned around and said angrily.

"Okay, okay, okay! I didn't expect to be so right. I've learned a lot. The smoke is along the eaves, the swallows are in the eyes, the rain is playing on the jade, and the fish are fishing. Wonderful, really wonderful." As he said this, he read the second line of the second line loudly.

Read it out.

When the person who was beaten in front heard the second line he said, he was stunned for a moment, and then immediately slapped the person in front of him to the ground, and then said, "Wonderful, really wonderful, good second line, good second line!" After that,

, he glanced at the person lying on the ground hesitating, then turned and left.

Their words were not quiet, and this couplet immediately spread among the surrounding crowd, and suddenly there were many compliments and praises from all around.



At this time, Xuan Yue, who was dragging Xue'er along, came to a place with relatively few people and stopped.

"What's wrong, brother? Why are you running? There are not so many robbers and bandits in this country of Han, so why are we running?" Xue'er asked, looking at the panting Xuan Yue.

Xuan Yue is actually not tired. His body has undergone the Xuan Qi Sui Body Art and the nearly thousands of years of ginseng training. Although it is still in the innate state, even if he runs around the city now,

You won't feel tired.

Being so out of breath is just the psychological effect of being a thief.

"Hey, I didn't expect you to have the potential to be a thief, but it's a pity that your level is not good enough." When Xuan Yue gradually calmed down, the Holy King teased in Xuan Yue's ear.

"Huh, don't worry about it." Although the Holy King is his master, he has never acted like a master to himself, so although he respects the Holy King very much, he is not afraid of him.

"Haha, being young is good." After the Holy King said happily, he fell silent again.

"Here, this is the fruit I took out. It's delicious. Try it." She took out the bright red fruit from her arms and handed it to Xue'er Xuan Yue said softly.

"Brother, could it be you?" Looking at the two bright red fruits in front of her, Xueer still didn't understand something.

She has been wandering and has seen all kinds of things. When she thinks about her recent experience and the current result, she doesn't understand what happened.

"Don't think blindly. I didn't steal anything. These were things placed on the table for people to eat. I just took a few. I ran because I answered the second line correctly and I had a thousand gold dollars in my arms.

"Looking at Xue'er's increasingly hesitant voice, Xuan Yue quickly explained, and as she spoke, she took out a thousand gold Han gold banknotes from her arms.

"Thank you, brother." Xueer did not struggle with this issue, because she knew that no matter what her brother did, it was for her own good, and she could not and could not question everything about her brother.

"Silly girl, what are you thinking about? Why is my brother the kind of person who steals? Eat it quickly, it tastes great." Xuan Yue said with compassion as she gently wiped Xue'er's silver-white hair.

"Well, I'll eat it, it's so delicious!" After hearing Xuan Yue's words, Xue'er no longer hesitated. She opened her mouth and bit the bright red fruit. She was immediately captured by the sweet fragrance and sweetness in her mouth.

Almost like Xuan Yue, Xue'er ate a flame fruit in just a few breaths. Looking at the other fruit left in her hand, Xue'er looked at Xuan Yue and immediately handed it to Xuan Yue.

"Brother, you eat too."

"I've eaten it. It's okay. You can eat it. And I have another one here." Pushing back the fruit that was handed to her, Xuan Yue said while taking out another fruit from her arms.

Xuan Yue knew that if she didn't take out this fruit, then Xue'er would never eat that fruit. After such a long time of getting along, Xuan Yue also gradually understood Xue'er's character. I'm afraid that what she believed in would not be possible.

Anyone can change.

"Then let's eat together." Looking at the fruit in Xuan Yue's hand, Xue'er said with a sweet smile.

"Well, let's eat together."

This time Xuan Yue and Xue'er ate very slowly, savoring the delicious and sweet taste of the flame fruit, feeling the burning heat in their chests and abdomen, with a look of satisfaction on their faces.

"Brother, what should we do with the rest?" After eating the fruit, Xue'er looked at Xuan Yue and asked.

"Of course it's to make money. I don't know how many hurdles and accidents I have to go through on the way to the Great Qin Kingdom. It's better to have a little more money than to be broke." Xuan Yue said immediately with a smile.

"How do we make money? We have no skills and we don't know people." Looking at Xuan Yue's smile, Xueer pouted and said.

As Xueer said, it is very difficult to find a job in a strange place without skills and people you know, and it is even more difficult to find a job that can make money.

"Leave it to me, let's go. Let's go to the inn to wash up first, and then have a good sleep. Tomorrow, my brother will take you to make a lot of money." Xuan Yue left with Xue'er who had been running around for three days.

We stayed in a relatively modest inn.

"Sir, the guest rooms in our hotel are full. If you want to stay in the hotel, I'm afraid I need you to go elsewhere." When Xuan Yue just walked into the inn, the waiter walked up to Xuan Yue respectfully and said.

"Didn't you say that you can stay for free if you meet Shangxialian? Are you lying?" Looking at the respectful waiter, Xuan Yue said directly.

"How can you dare? We have reserved room No. 1 in the store to wait for the talented man to stay. The prerequisite is to write a couplet." After hearing Xuan Yue's words, the waiter immediately broke down with sweat and said respectfully.

"Okay, I'll give you the second line right now." Xuan Yue smiled softly, and then started writing on a table where pens, ink, paper and inkstones had already been placed.

The first couplet is: The ant tree dismounts its horse and leans against the tree.

This first couplet has been hanging in this inn for five days. Because the inn is not big in size and only belongs to the lower-middle-level, there are no talented people who come to answer questions and enter the room. However, this first couplet is not among those who go to school.

People in the library can easily answer it.

As for finding someone to answer for you, the people here are not so treacherous. After all, no matter how hard you try to find someone to answer for you, there will always be a moment when the secret is revealed, and then that person will be greatly humiliated.

In order to prevent this problem, many inns almost provide accommodation under a limited time system. For example, if Xuan Yue answers this couplet, she can stay here for free for three days, but you must know that there are still three days before the world's largest poetry event.

Convened, but if someone kicked him out during the convening, that person would be in great disgrace.

Xuan Yue wrote very quickly, writing the second couplet with just a few strokes, and then handed it to the waiter.

"The ant tree dismounts and the horse leans against the tree, and the chickens watch the flowers in front of the cockscombs." The waiter is also a person who is good at hyphenating Chinese characters. He immediately read the second couplet aloud.

"An ant tree dismounts its horse and leans against the tree, and chickens watch the flowers in front of the cockscombs. Not bad, really good, the work is neat and correct, quite good." After the waiter read out, a fat man in brocade clothes walked down from the second floor.

Go, applauding Xuan Yue's second couplet.

"Young master is really a great talent, please invite him to sit down." Looking at Xuan Yue, who was in front of him, the boss quickly asked Xuan Yue to sit in the middle of the hall on the first floor.

This couplet has been hanging for three days, and someone finally answered it. Although it is not difficult, the talented people don't bother to answer, while the untalented people don't answer. This feeling of being neither up to nor down makes the boss very helpless. If it is a pair

It has been hung out and cannot be replaced. The boss has already ordered someone to remove the pair.

Although Xuan Yue's clothes are not luxurious, they are very decent, with a travel-stained look, as if she came from other places, and although the woman following Xuan Yue does not look good, her clothes are

Not a bargain either.

The boss is also a discerning person in the Han Dynasty. With just one glance, he can tell that the clothes are worth at least fifty gold dollars. Fifty gold yuan is not a small amount for the Han people. You have to know that a Han citizen earns a year.

The income is only about 150 gold yuan. If it is a disaster to get sick midway through life, it may be difficult to save a few gold yuan in a year.

So judging from their clothes, the two people who came here must be talented people, and they must be participating in the world's largest poetry event. Therefore, the boss decided to win over Xuan Yue and the two.

If you are a scholar, then the reputation and status of your shop will inevitably increase steadily, and the result will be an endless stream of people.

Thinking of this, the smile on the boss's face became even brighter, like a flower blooming, making Xuan Yue who was looking at her wonder if the boss had a tendency to have a dragon-yang addiction.

"You must be here to participate in the world's largest poetry event, right?" Looking at Xuan Yue sitting at the table, the boss said with a smile and narrowed eyes.

"What the shopkeeper said is true. I am indeed here to participate in the world's largest poetry event. I want to meet all the talents in Luoyang City and meet the world's reading talents." After hearing the news from the boss, Xuan

Yue said proudly.

When he arrived in the central part of the Han Dynasty, Xuan Yue realized the importance of money. When he was in the northwest continent, because of the help of Diaz and his friends, he never worried about the previous problems, and the prices in the northwest continent were relatively low.

, and no one collects checkpoint tolls.

But things have completely changed in the southwest continent. Even walking has tolls, there are city entry fees, and capitation fees. This fee, that fee, 110,000 taels of gold exchanged for 220 gold dollars, is only

In less than three days, there is not much time left.
