Chapter 79: Handsome but stupid
Fang Jie¡¯s biggest feeling after arriving in this world is that there seems to be no limit to human power. The inherent knowledge in his previous life was raped again and again by the reality of this world, and he was so damn happy that he couldn't help but wonder if the directors who made martial arts dramas in his previous life had all traveled through time and then gone back.
But even Chu Liuxiang, if she were as fat as this fat man, she might not be able to squat on a slender weed and sway gently in the wind. Such a cool squat will make Xiangshuai envious and jealous.
This once again overturned Fang Jie's understanding of human structure, and also overturned the knowledge he had learned through hard study for more than ten years in his previous life.
For such a fat man, what Fang Jie wanted to say the most was.
This unscientific.
The fat man, who was wearing moon-white clothes but had turned into an egg-yellow gown soaked with sweat, stared at Fang Jie with a smile, pointed at the uniform on Fang Jie's body and said with a smile: "Deserter?"
Fang Jie shook his head first, then nodded.
"I heard that some of Youzhenwei's soldiers were transferred to the martial arts field. These soldiers were used in the battle for the top three in the martial arts academy. You are hiding here at this time. It seems that the winner has been determined. Can you tell me who Got the top spot?"
This is what he asked.
Rather than why you are here, or whether you have any intentions, this is a common sense question.
Fang Jie¡¯s hand was always on the handle of the horizontal knife, and all the muscles in his body were tense. Although his current posture looks a bit embarrassing, if the fat man makes any move, he can draw a knife and hurt someone in a second. But Fang Jie didn't dare to draw the knife, and even deliberately suppressed his hostility.
For a fat man who can squat on a blade of grass, he doesn't know if his resistance is useful. Of course, if the fat man takes action, even if resistance is meaningless, Fang Jie will not sit back and die.
"It should be Luo Wen."
He answered.
"ah?"
The fat man let out a slight cry of surprise, then scratched his hair in annoyance and said depressedly: "I bet a full five hundred taels of silver on Li Fubo. If Luo Wen wins the first place, won't I lose the money? No, no. Good, big bad.¡±
He stepped down from the blades of grass, his movements gentle. When he stepped on the ground with his feet, the grass seemed to remain unchanged. The wind is still blowing gently, and the grass is still swaying slightly.
"You don't want to ambush us on the roadside, do you?"
After a few depressed words, the fat man asked Fang for an explanation, very seriously.
Fang Jie also shook his head seriously and said: "I really don't mean that. You should be able to see that I am avoiding you. If I want to rob, I should jump out and say a few harsh words. For example, this way I opened it, I planted this tree, if I want to live from now on, I will leave money to buy the road or something."
"These few words are really nonsense."
The fat man shook his head and said: "These things you mentioned are all what the officials of the Sui Dynasty should do."
Fang Jie was convinced, so he nodded vigorously.
"Since you are not trying to rob us, then I have nothing to do. You continue to hide, and I will leave first. I'm sorry to bother you. Don't worry, I won't report to the officer that there is a deserter hiding here. Because I If I report it, the government won¡¯t give me any reward. I won¡¯t do anything that doesn¡¯t benefit me.¡±
The fat man smiled and waved his hand, saying goodbye.
When he walked onto the official road, the curtains of a carriage parked on the roadside opened a gap. Someone looked inside and asked, "Xiaojiu, what's the matter?"
The voice of the speaker was very deep, a very rich male voice.
"Proprietor, it's nothing. I met an interesting little deserter, but I think he must have lied, although I don't know what he lied to me about. Because it has nothing to do with our business, and I didn't want to rob him, so I didn't Pay attention.¡±
"What he lied to you about was that he was not actually a deserter."
The person in the carriage said something, then lowered the curtain and said, "Let's go. Yu'er is tired after traveling for so long. Let's go home quickly. She definitely wants to take a comfortable bath and then be beautiful." Get some sleep."
"yes"
The fat man bowed his head in response, turned back and glared at Fang Jie and said, "You lied to me!"
Fang Jie wanted to laugh, but didn't dare.
Since arriving in this world, he has met many interesting people, such as Big Dog, Mu Xiaoyao, Lao Laizi, and even Su Tugou and the proprietress of Fangu Dog Meat Shop are interesting people. But he didn't know why, even though he only had a few unhelpful words with this fat man, he felt that this fat man?It should be more interesting than the big dogs. How boring can a person be to come over and squat on the grass to talk to himself about whether you were a robber?
"Umcan I ask you something?"
Fang Jie stood up, patted the broken leaves and dust on his body and asked with a serious expression: "Just now you said you wouldn't report me if there was no benefit, I'm very grateful. But I want to ask can you be a good person and do it to the end? Take me into the city on the way?"
"You are indeed not a deserter."
The fat man curled his lips and said: "How can any deserter flee to the city? So the uniform of the Right Guard on you might have been stolen by you after killing a soldier. You might be a murderer, and You are the murderer who attacked and killed the Sui army. There is no good reason for me to arrest you and send you to the Chang'an government office, because I am a Sui citizen with a strong sense of justice and it is my duty to maintain the peace of the imperial capital. All people should have the awareness.¡±
As he spoke, he walked towards Fang Jie.
"Five hundred taels"
Fang Jie stretched out his hand and gestured and said, "It just makes up for the money you lost in gambling."
The fat man paused for a moment, and just as he was about to say something, there was a cough from the carriage. The fat man's face changed slightly, then he shook his head and said, "I won't do it."
"One thousand taels!"
Fang Jie bit down and said, "Just treat it as if you were right and made twice as much money. When you go to the city, you can forget about me. I won't remember your favor, and you can't remember that I showed up."
There was another cough in the carriage, so the fat man shook his head again.
Fang Jie took a deep breath and announced his bottom line: "One thousand one hundred taels, I won't pay even one more copper coin."
"Done"
The words were not spoken by the fat man, but by the people in the carriage.
Wu Yiyi, the richest man in the Sui Dynasty, who was known as the richest man in the world, decided to bring a suspected deserter into the imperial capital because of this mere 1,110 taels of silver.
He opened the curtain and said to the fat man seriously: "One thousand one hundred taels of silver is considered a business that I personally took over. It has nothing to do with you, well, it has nothing to do with you at all."
The fat man looked bitter and asked aggrievedly: "Is there any share?"
Wu Yiyi shook his head: "Not a single copper coin."
¡¡
¡¡
Fang Jie was sitting on a carriage. He took off his Sui warrior uniform with some difficulty. Then he opened the curtain and asked the fat man riding next to him: "Do you have any clothes for me to change into?"
"have"
The fat man nodded and said, "Add five hundred taels of silver."
"It can't be made of gold wire for five hundred miles, right?"
Fang Jie cursed in his mind while bargaining: "Fifty taels is the most. Even the most famous Yuexiangji's exquisitely made cotton garments in Chang'an City only cost this much."
What he said is indeed correct. In fact, a piece of cotton clothing can be sold for fifty taels of silver or even more outrageous prices, which is what Chang'an Yuexiangji can sell. There was no shortage of wealthy families in the capital of the Sui Dynasty, let alone wealthy merchants. People without fame are not allowed to wear brocade clothes, no matter how rich they are. Moreover, the social status of businessmen was not high. Anyone who wore brocade clothes would be challenging the majesty of the Sui Dynasty's laws. The light ones are responsible for the staff, and the more serious ones are distributed.
??And businessmen have a lot of money, and they must show that they are different from ordinary people. When we sit together to discuss business, we don¡¯t want to lose our face. Therefore, to target the hearts of these wealthy people, Yuexiangji has launched a series of civilian clothes with exquisite workmanship, novel styles and comfortable wearing. The most important thing is that they look as glamorous as brocade clothes, but they are expensive.
It must be said that this is a very successful marketing plan. Since Yuexiangji launched the fine cloth series, businessmen have flocked to it and wear a piece of Yuexiangji clothing as a symbol of taste. The boss of Yuexiangji can be said to be a business talent by making the common clothes look like brocade clothes without breaking the law.
¡°Can Yuexiangji¡¯s commoner save you?¡±
The fat man asked for an explanation.
"cannot"
Fang Jie shook his head.
"That's it, Yuexiangji's Jinxiu Cloth sells for fifty taels of silver each. It's the most common style, and it's also an old overstock product from last year. Have you seen this very handsome and elegant moon-white robe on me? , it cost me three hundred and sixty taels of silver, so I can only say that you are ignorant, and then I want to say that you don¡¯t take your own life seriously.¡±
"One hundred taels"
"Four hundred and eighty taels."
"One hundred and fifty taels"
"Four hundred and fifty taels"
Fang Jie really couldn¡¯t fight with this fat man, so he said cruelly:"Three hundred and sixty taels, based on the price of the clothes you are wearing."
"Okay."
The fat man smiled and nodded, then took off his moon-white robe and threw it to Fang Jie: "You get what you pay for, no matter how young you are."
The smell of sweat on this piece of clothing knocked Fang Jie over almost instantly. Fang Jie firmly believed that even the stinky feet of a big dog were not so powerful. And because this dress was made according to the figure of that damn fat man, Fang Jie gritted his teeth and endured the smell that penetrated his nose. After putting it on, he realized that when he wore this dress, it was as if he was wearing a shirt that barely covered his knees. The dress is especially slim and extra large.
The fat man took off his long robe and only wore the white clothes underneath. He counted the banknotes handed over by Fang Jie. He smiled and said, "You don't seem to be an ordinary person when you bring so much money when you go out. But I'm in business." I pay attention to credit. I took your money to keep you safe and keep the client confidential. Don¡¯t worry, I won¡¯t ask you about your identity.¡±
After saying this, he suddenly realized something and hurriedly said to the carriage in front: "Proprietor, I did this transaction myself, and the goods were bought with my own money. Doesn't it have anything to do with our goods being sold all over the world?" I can accept the three hundred and sixty taels of silver"
The rich male voice in the carriage snorted disdainfully and asked: "When you bought this dress at Yuexiangji, did the guy at Yuexiangji give you a discount because you are one of my most well-known people? How much money was discounted? The money you saved is the benefit of my reputation as a global currency trader. So the discounted money is considered to be the stock I bought in your transaction just now."
The fat man¡¯s face became very excited, he took out a one hundred tael note from the banknote and reluctantly stuffed it into the carriage in front.
Fang Jie's eyes widened when he saw it, and he couldn't help but sigh: "It's hard not to make a fortune if you do this business."
"you are wrong."
The fat man stuffed the remaining banknotes into his clothes and explained to the other party seriously: "Our proprietor is the only one in the world who will get rich by doing this business. Because if other people dare to plot with him like this, they will all end up getting rich." Those who were tricked by him didn¡¯t even have a pair of trousers left.¡±
The curtain of the carriage in front opened a gap, and a piece of paper flew out.
"If you flatter me well, the proprietor will reward you."
The rich male voice said with a hint of contentment.
The fat man flew out from the horse, spinning around in mid-air like a swift flying around a wall. He grabbed the one hundred taels of silver note he had just handed in and flew back to the horse. His movements were incredibly fast. Completely contrary to human body mechanics and gravity.
At this moment, a little head poked out of the carriage behind and looked at the front, a little curious. This is a little girl who looks to be about fourteen or fifteen years old, with delicate and delicate eyebrows, a mark of beauty. Although it has not fully grown, and there is still some baby fat on the lower jaw, there is no doubt that it will definitely charm many men in two or three years.
After a few glances, she retracted her head, and then said excitedly to the woman sitting in the carriage with her eyes closed, "Miss, Miss, that fool who spent 1,110 taels of silver to buy the road turned out to be a handsome young man. , with pretty features.¡±
"idiot"
The beautiful woman who was called Miss frowned slightly and said: "Are handsome fools not fools? Don't you think it is intolerable for a handsome person to be stupid at the same time?"
"Missit's not good."
The little maid opened her eyes wide and said something worried.
"You're so handsome and you're stupid enough not to go home and have fun, thank you. I'm back in the imperial capital again, and I have to live a boring life, so I have to have some fun, right?"
She smiled and pinched it with her index finger and thumb, as if she was pinching the leg of a butterfly to see if it couldn't fly away. But in her opinion, the guy who paid for it and took it along would be more fun than the butterfly. - Didn't finish reading?
