Good man, he has a golden finger
Chapter 157: The First Night in Ancient Times
"Quiet."
I couldn't help but pat my son. He hadn't gone far along the way and yet he dared to say such words. Was he afraid that the noble would hear him?
When the village chief Cui said this, Cui Mingshan stopped talking. The two of them went to the room farthest from Xie Tingzhou. The room here belonged to the third brother. After the marriage, the third brother and his sister lived in the east and west. The houses here are all vacant, but they are still habitable.
After all, he is a village chief, and Chief Cui's house still has many rooms.
When the father and son entered the room, Village Chief Cui carefully took out the pearl bracelet. The cold and smooth texture he had just received made Village Chief Cui not dare to feel too much. Now he came to the window and carefully He opened the window, and then a cold wind hit, causing the father and son to shrink their necks, and then they both stared at the pearl bracelet in their hands.
This pearl bracelet looks even smoother on the messy hands of Village Chief Cui. Every pearl in this pearl bracelet is round, full and smooth, and each one is exactly the same size. At this time, it is flowing around. The person reluctantly moved away from the light in his eyes. A snowflake blew in with the cold wind and fell on the hand of Village Chief Cui. At this glance, the pearl was actually whiter and more flawless than the snowflake...
Cui Mingshan couldn't help but stretched out his hand and wanted to touch the pearl bracelet in his father's hand, but his father slapped the back of his hand.
"What are you doing! This is a good thing given by the noble man."
Village Chief Cui naturally knew the value of this thing, and he was already thinking about how to sell this bracelet for the highest price. He already had a plan in his mind.
"Dad, can we just take the things given by the nobles? And if this thing is in our house, it won't be a problem..."
Such a treasure can be regarded as a family heirloom. If it reveals the slightest bit of limelight, it is estimated that their family will be slaughtered by him. After all, this thing is really expensive. What comes out of the water is already valuable. With a thousand taels of silver, it is already extremely difficult to find pearls of similar quality. However, the pearls on this string of bracelets are all distinct and look exactly the same, and their value must be at least several thousand gold...
Everyone in their village could never have as much as a few thousand gold if they worked all their lives...
"Nonsense! This is a gift from the noble man to our village, not to our family. The noble man saw that our village is full of thatched huts and there are no tiles to cover our heads, so he kindly gave this pearl bracelet and asked me to exchange it for some. Money repairs the village.”
Village Chief Cui's eyes lit up when he said this. After all, when the village is good and the harvest is good, he, the village chief, can live a good life. Moreover, this noble man is really precious beyond words. Although his attitude is still high, but in his eyes But one can see that villagers like them are already good people.
"The noble man is such a good man. I was scared when I saw how serious he was. I never thought that he was actually a soft-hearted person." Cui Mingshan also sighed, thinking about being by the noble man's side, but he didn't even dare to say a word. Unexpectedly, the noble man actually thought about the people in the village.
"Well, the noble man will stay in our village for a while. This may be the fortune of our village. Tonight, you go out with your second and third brothers and go from door to door to notify the noble man of his arrival, so that everyone in the village can Bring all the good things you can get, and let all the strong men in the village gather at the entrance of the village tomorrow. We need to protect the nobles. "
Village Chief Cui thought about the villain the nobleman said, and although he was a little scared, he thought about the pearl bracelet given by the nobleman. If this thing was taken away, their entire village would be able to live a good life for at least twenty years.
With a few thousand taels of gold, they can renovate their entire village, build houses with earthen tiles, and then buy some more land to divide it. With more people and land in the village, life will naturally get better.
Village Chief Cui is the head of Cuijia Village, but in fact, the entire Cuijia Village is a family connected by blood, and they are more or less related to each other. Village Chief Cui is the chief of the Cui family, so naturally Any order can be issued.
It was very common in ancient times for people to be relatives in a village. After all, if you encounter bandits or a fight between two villages, it will be difficult to deal with it if you are not relatives. The more people a certain clan has, the more advantage it will take. of.
"Okay, dad, I will take the second brother and the third brother there later, but why don't I take the second brother and the third brother to meet the noble man?"
As for the noble man's demeanor, just seeing him once made him fascinated. Cui Mingshan thought that even though he would never live like a noble man in his life, he was lucky enough just to see him.
"It's okay. The noble man needs to rest at home for a while. You will see him sooner or later. Please remind your two younger brothers not to disturb the noble man."
Village Chief Cui believed in his eldest son. The eldest son did things properly and everything was settled.
"Okay, dad, this bracelet..."
Such a bracelet worth tens of thousands of dollars cannot be sold in the county. I am afraid that I have to go to the town to sell it, but how to sell it is another problem...
"You don't have to worry about this, I have my own arrangements."
Village Chief Cui told his son to inform the villagers immediately.
It will get dark soon, and it will be difficult to walk at night when it gets dark.
Xie Tingzhou naturally didn't know what the father and son were talking about. He checked his purse. Not only the purse, he put a lot of things in the pockets of his Hanfu. After all, he came to live in ancient times. When he was noble, he had people to serve him. But now Xie Tingzhou is still an illegal immigrant, so he has to carry a lot of things by himself.
For example... you must have toilet paper, right? For convenience, Xie Tingzhou brought disposable wet wipes and some toilet paper. Several packs were in the pockets of his Hanfu. The pockets were also hidden. They were inside Xie Tingzhou's coat. There were a lot of things in them.
According to this so-called back and forth system, as long as it is on the body and integrated with Xie Tingzhou, it can be brought over. For example, this bracelet is jewelry in Xie Tingzhou's hand.
Purses are also a kind of jewelry, and anything can be put in them.
Clothing is even simpler. Xie Tingzhou wants to wear the clothes himself. What is put in the pockets inside, the system will not be too strict. As long as a large-scale lethal weapon is not put in, the system will turn a blind eye.
Anyway... you can't bring things that are beyond the level of ancient science.
The tea quickly cooled down, and the osmanthus cake also cooled down. This osmanthus cake should be the osmanthus that was stored before. Even if it is cold now, it is still a delicacy, but Xie Tingzhou only ate two pieces and stopped eating.
He thought about the mountain road he had taken before, and it might not be easy to go to the city in the short term, and he would probably have to check his identity to enter the city. With his identity... I'm afraid he can't get in.
So Xie Tingzhou planned to deal with the people in this village in winter for the time being, and then take it step by step.
After a while, Village Chief Cui thought Xie Tingzhou should be tired, so he walked in.
"My dear, I have prepared a house for you. It's getting dark, why don't I take you to rest?"
Xie Tingzhou nodded. He needed a closed space, so that he could go back when he went back.
Afterwards, Village Chief Cui took Xie Tingzhou to the newly cleaned room in the east. Although the room was small, it had everything it needed. A bed, tables, chairs and cabinets were all new. They were made by Village Chief Cui's eldest daughter-in-law, An Niang, with her dowry for her grandson to live in.
Even the quilt on the bed was An Niang's dowry, a set of red cotton quilts. This was the bottom of the box dowry that An Niang's father spent a lot of money on for his daughter. In those days, cotton was extremely expensive. Cotton cloth and cotton quilts were only used by nobles. Ordinary people's clothes were linen. This set of quilts was already the most valuable and expensive in the family.
After she got married, An Niang was reluctant to cover herself with it, and now it happened to be used on Xie Tingzhou.
After bringing Xie Tingzhou to the room, Village Chief Cui tactfully withdrew. The light outside the window had begun to darken, and Xie Tingzhou realized that it was probably around four or five o'clock. Winter days get dark early, and people in the Great Yong Dynasty do not eat after noon. Now that it is dark, it is time to rest.
Moreover, this room is quite good. There is a charcoal fire in the room, with air vents, and an exquisitely carved toilet. These are all the wisdom of the ancients. As recorded in the records, a good toilet is already very valuable and can be used for decades, and it has no smell when placed in the house.
Since you are here, you should make the best of it. Xie Tingzhou lay down, and he was full of interest in his special trip to the Great Yong Dynasty.
When he woke up the next morning, it was already bright. The winter morning was freezing cold, but Cui Mingshan, the two sons of the Cui family, had already been waiting at the door of the nobleman with his younger brother, waiting for the nobleman's call.
After Xie Tingzhou got up, he arranged his clothes and headdress. He had heard the noise at the door, so he spoke.
"Come in."
As expected, the two people outside heard the sound and immediately pushed the door and walked in. Then Cui Mingshan immediately said.
"My dear, I have prepared cleansing tools for you. How about moving to the lobby?"
The house here is too small. For the first time, Cui Mingshan felt that he should have a big room at home so that my dear could live comfortably.
Xie Tingzhou didn't care, so he followed Cui Mingshan to the lobby, but saw the copper basin that had been prepared in the hall. It was filled with boiling hot water. When Xie Tingzhou came, cold water was added to adapt to the temperature.
Cui Mingshan's third brother Cui Zhenshan was holding a cotton towel, which was sent by the villagers last night. He thought that if my dear washed his face in the morning, he must use good things. Such a small piece of cotton cloth would cost hundreds of copper coins.
Xie Tingzhou washed his face and brushed his teeth under the service of the Cui family. Yes, it was a toothbrush made of willow branches, and then stained with some special salt. Brushing teeth and gargling became a habit, which made the Cui family sigh. The noble is the noble. They are also washing their faces and brushing their teeth. When they do it themselves, they look unremarkable, but when the noble does it, it looks like a painting.
Even when Mrs. Cui came to visit Xie Tingzhou, she had to sigh that the noble had a face as beautiful as Yu Tianze, which was as unattainable as the snow lotus on the iceberg.
How could such a noble come to their Cuijia Village? It is indeed a blessing for their Cuijia Village...
