The Trick of Longevity, Paper-cutting Becomes a Spirit

Chapter 113 New Home
"Let's respect the river god."

Among the boat owners, Boss Li, who was "in front of" Lu Qian, had just finished saying "respect the river god".In Lu Qian's ear, in a very far away place, he heard the phrase "respect the river god" again.

Lu Qian understood that it was the voice he heard himself.

Although his viewing angle has switched to the hummingbird, the other four senses of the body are still there, but the vision is missing.

When Lu Qian heard this sentence from afar, he was slightly startled, and immediately cut off the hummingbird's view, and returned to the main body's view.

He didn't care about the fate of the boss of the boat, he just gave him a small punishment.

In the private room on the fourth floor of Wuxian Pavilion.

Lu Qian opened his eyes and looked sideways.

The door of their private room was not closed. Looking out from where Lu Qian was sitting, he could see the stairs at a glance.

I saw two men in fine clothes walking down the stairs, talking about something while walking.

One of them was a man in a blue robe. He was tall and straight, with an imposing manner between his brows. He was obviously a person who had been sitting in a position for a long time.

However, he looked to be in his thirties.At this age, it is not easy.

What he just said was obviously what he said.

The other person is slightly shorter, with a dark face, in his forties.Although the two walked side by side, he took half a step behind to show respect.

Hearing the young man's words, the black-faced man nodded and said, "Yes, then do as your lord wants."

The two were talking, and they had already descended to the fourth floor, and continued to walk down the stairs, disappearing from Lu Qian's sight.

These two people are obviously people in the officialdom.

But what is this "river god"?
In the Wangjiaying where Lu Qian just left, there is a "mountain god" who likes to collect human skins.

And in Dinghezhou, another river god appeared.

I don't know what he likes, and how to respect the law of the river god.

However, these have nothing to do with him.

His mission is to live in this prosperous and well-connected place and enjoy life.

By the way, practice paper cutting.

Zhao Xiaofeng swallowed the last mouthful of food, let out a long breath, sat down with her stomach upright, and said, "Brother Qian, I really can't eat anymore."

Lu Qian looked at her, a little funny.

Only those who have been hungry know that food is precious, and they are reluctant to waste it.

"Let's go then?"

Xiaofeng stood up with the chair supported by her hands, and muttered: "I feel like I can't even walk..."

Lu Qian stood up, reached out to give her a hand, and then the two held hands and went downstairs.

On the first floor, when the shopkeeper saw Lu Qian and the two coming down, he cupped his hands and said with a smile: "You two guests, are you ready?"

Lu Qian nodded and said, "Settling the score."

"A total of two twenty-four cents of silver, two thousand four hundred copper plates."

One tael of silver is equal to one thousand Wen, that is, one thousand copper plates.

Hearing an astonishing price spit out from the shopkeeper with a smile, Xiaofeng suddenly widened her eyes, almost popping out:
"Two...two...two...two..."

Lu Qian took her hand and squeezed it a little harder to stop the word "two" from her mouth for a long time, then took out a silver collar, threw it on the counter, and said, "Shopkeeper, cut the silver for me by the way." one time."

This silver collar is not in the shape of an ingot, but a flat silver block with a narrow middle and wide ends.

Folk melting silver is simply made into blocks for easy portability, and generally not made into complicated shapes.The official silver ingots are much finer.

Generally speaking, this kind of silver collar will also be printed with the silver number or the name of the silver owner, and the weight will be printed on the other side.

This is a 50 taels of silver collar, which is heavy in the hand.

Large pieces of silver collars are more troublesome to spend on a daily basis, so if you need them, you have to cut the whole piece of silver collars and turn them into pieces of silver.Otherwise, if you take a piece of silver and go out to buy a piece of cloth, no one will be able to find it.

The shopkeeper picked up the silver collar and looked at it, then nodded, picked up a pair of large scissors from under the counter, and cut off a corner according to the top of the silver collar.

Then, he took the silver corner and weighed it on the scale. It was neither high nor low, exactly two, two and four.

Seeing this, Lu Qian couldn't help stretching out his thumb, and praised: "Good craftsmanship."

The shopkeeper smiled "hehe" and said, "It's nothing, but I'm familiar with it. Guest officer, can I cut it into two or five pieces for you? It's more convenient for you to spend."

"it is good."

The shopkeeper cut it skillfully, and after a while, a piece of 50 taels of silver collar turned into a pile of scattered silver pieces.

The shopkeeper picked up another small cloth bag, put all the broken silver into it in front of Lu Qian, tied the mouth of the bag, and handed it over with both hands.

Lu Qian took the silver bag, threw it to Xiaofeng, and left.

The guy who greeted the guests at the gate of Wuxian Pavilion has changed, and he sent Lu Qian away with smiles on his face.

……

……

In the afternoon, Lu Qian and Xiaofeng started a crazy big purchase.

In less than half a day, I nervously bought a lot of things and sent people to deliver them to my home one by one.

Yazi came early and waited at the door.At the end of the day, when I saw the truckloads of things being delivered, I couldn't help being a little speechless.

When Lu Qian came back, he checked that the deed was correct, and then he simply signed the contract with Yazi and paid the rent.

Seeing Lu Qian paying directly with a whole silver collar, Yazi couldn't help but change his eyes when he looked at Lu Qian, and there seemed to be regret in the depths of his eyes.

Obviously, she felt that she had misjudged Lu Qian's strength and found him a cheap house.

Those people in Yahang will go after the smell of blood, and bite the big fish when they catch it.

After receiving the money, this tooth couldn't help but become active again, and regardless of being in front of his wife, he began to sell her juicy "chicken" to Lu Qian again.

Xiaofeng was moved by her for some reason, hesitantly said: "Qian...Brother Qian, look?"

Seeing that his wife was relieved, Yazi couldn't help being elated, and said, "Yes, people are nice and inexpensive, and I don't even need your silver collar, only 40 taels of silver."

"How much... how much?"

As soon as Xiaofeng heard the price, her eyes widened immediately, and she was about to change her mind on the spot.

Lu Qian narrowed his eyes slightly, looked at his teeth, and sneered in his heart: "I don't even see a hair, and it costs 40 taels of silver to open my mouth. This is to bully him who is young and inexperienced."

Yazi hurriedly said: "Oh ma'am, 40 taels is really not expensive, you go out and find out..."

Lu Qian stretched out his hand to interrupt her, and said, "Okay, don't waste your time with me, even if I want a girl, I don't need to spend money to buy it."

After that, he took out a small piece of broken silver and threw it to her.

Yazi caught Suiyin, closed his mouth immediately, and said: "Then you rest, and come to me when you have something to do."

After all, he turned and left.

The delivery people were sent away one by one, and the sun had already set.

Lu Qian and Xiaofeng closed the door and went back to the house. Looking at the pile of things thrown around the house, Lu Qian couldn't help reaching out and pinching the base of his nose, feeling a little headache.

Moving is such a hassle.

He suddenly felt that it would be a good idea to charge a few more "girls".

Of course, outsiders would not take him into the house.

Xiaofeng sighed, "Oh, everything is really expensive in the city."

She turned her head to look at Lu Qian, and said faintly: "Even people are expensive."
