Lan Ke Qi Yuan Chapter 725: 2 copper coins

The officer surnamed Chen is named Chen Shou. He was originally doubtful about the letters he received from home, but after all, he is a veteran who went on expeditions with the army and experienced several **** battles. He has already seen Dazhen and the enemy's Celestial Master. He is also more cautious about such things, and now that he has seen the word "福", Chen Shou can almost conclude that this thing is a treasure.

What else can be said? Chen Shou now has an idea in his mind, to take the word "福". Of course, he does not dare to forget the things that need attention mentioned in the letter, but first he has to make sure that he can take action. I can get this treasure if I can.

Many people gathered in front of the young man's stall to look at his goods, including exquisite carvings and some accessories. Chen Shou took a step back and went to the outside, where several sergeants who came with him were teasing him.

"This man is crazy about money. He dares to ask for ten taels of gold for a piece of fortune, which is enough to buy a good house."

"Yes, ten cents is still about the same!" "Well, this word does look like the writing of a famous artist, ten cents is still a bit cheaper."

"That's one hundred articles, no more."

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

"How much money do you have? How much can you spend?"

"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 asked me to bring something back, but I didn't have enough money."

Chen Shou thought about it carefully. He had about seven or eight taels of silver and half a pound of copper coins on him, as well as a twenty-tael silver note and a ten-tael silver note, but the bank for the banknote was not here. , cannot be exchanged for cash in the short term.

First of all, Chen Shou is an uncle in the army, and secondly, he is usually a good person, so when he wants to help, everyone is happy to help and check their cash one after another.

"I just brought two taels." "I have four taels of silver and more than one hundred Wen."

"I also have a tael here." "Uncle Dub, I have a piece of gold here, maybe a tael."

A group of people gathered together. Not counting the banknotes, the total amount of silver they found was worth more than forty taels. Chief Chen frowned.

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

Others were puzzled.

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

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

Someone saw Mr. Chen frequently glancing at the stall over there and couldn't help but ask. Mr. Chen quickly smiled and shook his head.

"I really like the word "Fu". It looks like the writing of a famous artist, but ten taels of gold is too much."

"That's it"

"Let's go and take a walk around the area."

Chen Shou said hello, and everyone walked away, but before leaving, Chen Shou approached the booth where there were far fewer people at the moment. The man who was counting the copper coins there also raised his head to look at him.

"Master Jun, is there anything you like? If you want to buy it, I will give you a cheaper price."

Chen Shou shook his head and looked at the word "福" on the basket. It looked like it had been newly written not long ago.

"This word..."

"Do you want to buy this word?"

The young man was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously stretched out his hand to press the word "福".

"You'd better not sell this calligraphy. Regardless of whether it has been consecrated or not, this calligraphy should be kept well and taken home."

Seeing that Mr. Chen was not interested in buying, the man became careless again.

"I don't have to worry about that, Jun. I have my own discretion. If it's too low, I won't sell it."

As expected, the surname was Zhang, and Mr. Chen nodded.

"Then put the words away. The right way is to keep wealth hidden, and the same is true for this word. By the way, when do you usually come to set up a stall?"

Zhang Shu scratched his head, what happened to the sergeant? But after all, the other party seemed to be an officer and he didn't dare to neglect him.

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

"Yeah."

Chen Shou nodded, glanced at the word "Fu" again, and then left with the soldiers around him.

After setting up his stall for a while, Zhang Sui saw that there was not much business, so he put away his things, picked up the pole and left. On the way back, he was humming a little tune and was in a good mood. He stretched his hands into his arms to weigh them. The sound of money bags, coins and broken silver clattering against each other was more sweet than the singing.

"Hey, I sold a lot of money today!"

Zhang glanced at the rolled-up Chinese character "福" in one of the baskets. He knew that this character must have been really blessed. It had never lost its color as long as he could remember, and the elders in his family also valued it. This is the word blessing.

But Zhang Shu felt that the word "福" was only used to ward off evil spirits. Even snakes, insects, rats and ants could not be driven away. The Zhang family was only slightly better off than ordinary people, with a slightly larger house. But it is not really a wealthy family, and I have never heard of any windfall in the family. It was all the hard work and thrift of the older generation.

So the word "福" is not so mysterious in the eyes of Zhang Shu, who has seen it for nearly 20 years since he was a child. Of course, since the Zhang family moved, the word "福" is no longer posted outside, but is hidden in the house. It's in the cupboard and has been there for almost ten years.

The family has been living well these years. In fact, the Zhang family had almost forgotten the word "福". It was not until Zhang Sui was rummaging for things to **** a few days ago that he rediscovered this piece of paper that he thought he had long forgotten. The word "福" was missing, but Zhang Su kept silent.

……

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

After he went out for exercise in the past two days, he would go to the market, but he never saw the man named Zhang Su again, not to mention that he had not collected enough money, which made Chen Shou worried about gain and loss.

Coming back from the market again today, Chen Shou passed by a white tent and saw the people inside writing. He had something on his mind, so he thought about whether to write a letter and go home to ask about it, but he felt that this would be a good thing. It might take months to reply to the letters, which is really too far away.

The chief clerk in the tent looked up and saw Chen Shou lingering for a moment before leaving, so he called out to him.

"Chen Duber? Are you in trouble?"

Chen Shou paused, feeling irritated, thinking that the chief registrar was knowledgeable and he had a good relationship with him. Maybe he could relieve his depression, so he walked in.

Chen first cupped his hands, and then sighed.

"Mr. Qi, I am really depressed."

The name of the chief clerk is Qi Yuantian, who was originally from the capital city. When Dazhen and Zuyue just started fighting, he, like many passionate scholars, picked up the Sanchi Qingfeng and joined the army directly to the north.

Qi Yuantian stood up and returned the greeting, then motioned for Chen Shou to sit on a stool on the side. He quickly ended the calligraphy in his hand and stamped it before putting down his pen and looking at Chen Shou.

"Chen Dubo, why are you so upset?"

"Hey, I've fallen in love with... something I like, but it's too expensive. The person selling it hasn't appeared recently, and I'm feeling itchy!"

Qi Yuantian was a little curious. He knew about Chen Shu. He was a good man and had a clear mind. Even though he was just a team of uncles, the superiors actually intended to promote him to a military commander, and the previous one After the battle, he was only rewarded with military pay, and the credit has not yet been fully attributed. Based on Chen Shou's performance last time, this promotion should be confirmed.

"Oh? What is it?"

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

"Me?"

Qi Yuantian was a little amused. He took out his money bag and took a look inside. In addition to copper coins, there were also some silver ingots, broken silver and gold.

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

Chen Shou was stunned.

"So many? Can you lend me some? Lend me thirty taels. Thirty taels is enough!"

"Thirty taels? This is not a small amount!"

Qi Yuantian smiled.

"Then, Mr. Qi, do you want to borrow it?"

“By the way, can Qi still trust Chen Dubbo’s character?”

Chen Shou felt much better now.

"Hahahaha, thank you Mr. Qi, thank you so much! Alas, it's a pity that money is not enough..."

Qi Yuantian looked at him and lowered his head to sort out the gold and silver from his purse. He was not like some soldiers who would sometimes vent their anger after conquering a city. He had saved many rewards, and his position was not low. So there is a lot of money left.

After picking through the money bag for a few times, suddenly, a cluster of golden light flashed through, making Qi Yuantian pause. Then he rummaged through the money bag with his fingers. There were two copper coins in it that seemed to be more eye-catching than the others.

"Mr. Qi? What's wrong?"

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

Watching Qi Yuantian taking out the gold and silver that were intact or in pieces and weighing them, Chen Shou thought about the word "blessing" and suddenly asked another question.

"Mr. Qi, tell me, what does it mean to be blessed?"

Qi Yuantian actually looked into the depths of the money bag every time he took out gold and silver, but he still found this question interesting, so he thought for a moment and raised his head to answer.

"Actually, according to Qi's opinion, the so-called blessing does not mean being rich and powerful, nor does it mean being surrounded by people with good clothes and good food."

"What is that?"

"I remember discussing this issue with Brother Deng when I was still in school. What is happiness? A well-off family, a harmonious family, no disasters, no illness, no pain, no hatred of others, and no hate by others. , look for Shuyuan wwwｗ.zhaoshuyuan.com Generally speaking, life is smooth, comfortable and comfortable, without too many worries. Parents live long, marry a virtuous wife, and have children and grandchildren. They are all blessings. Look at this ancestor Yue Zhi Land, how many people can there be?”

Chen Shou listened with deep understanding and nodded in agreement.

"Mr. Qi is right. In the past, in Zuyue, wealthy families were easily remembered, while powerful families were caught in a whirlpool..."

"That's the truth."

Qi Yuantian also weighed the gold and silver.

"Almost thirty-two taels, it's not easy to divide. Let's use it first, Uncle Chen."

"Hey, thank you Mr. Qi!"

Chen Shou stood up and bowed before accepting the gold and silver handed to him. The heavy feeling made him feel more at ease.

"Chen said goodbye. Mr. Qi can come to me if you need anything. I will help you if you can!"

"Okay, I won't give it away."

Qi Yuantian also stood up and returned the gift. After Chen Shou left, he immediately sat down and took out two copper coins from his purse. Once he took out the coins, they looked ordinary again, but the feeling was still there. .

"This money is... right!"

Qi Yuantian suddenly recalled that before he joined the army, it seemed that in a teahouse in Gyeonggi Prefecture, a rather elegant gentleman had left him two cents of tea money, but he could not remember that person even if he thought about it carefully. What does it look like?

'No, not long after joining the army, didn't I lose my money bag once? I should have lost these copper coins too...couldn't it be those two coins? ’

Qi Yuantian frowned and thought for a long time, and his intuition told him that these two copper coins were the same two coins.

"Well, the war is almost over and the Chinese New Year is coming soon. Should I also go to the market and buy something?"

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