Wearing a purple dress with black cloud boots underneath, he looks more energetic. It is true that a man relies on his clothes and a horse relies on his saddle. This sentence is absolutely true.
With his hands behind his back, Chen Jiu shuttled among the crowd. Purple originally represented nobility. Wearing purple clothes, the aura of luxury naturally came to his face.
"I'm going to Qingzhou with my husband. I can't walk all the way," Chen Jiu thought gloomily.
¡°Shaobing,,,¡±.
¡°Venison meatballs,,,¡±.
¡°Fried tofu,,,¡±.
Chen Jiu was awakened by shouts: "They say dragon meat is in the sky and donkey meat is on the ground. This donkey meat is definitely a wonderful thing in the world and must be eaten."
Arriving at a donkey meat restaurant, Chen Jiu touched his somewhat flat belly and said, "Boss, bring me a pot of donkey meat dumplings."
"Okay, Sir, please wait a moment."
While drinking tea, Chen Jiu cast his eyes on the street, and suddenly an interesting scene caught his eye.
¡°Boss, I won¡¯t sell this donkey anymore.¡±
"Why don't you sell it? The price has been negotiated. Besides, my price is not low. If it weren't for the spirituality of your donkey, I wouldn't buy it."
The donkey seller was an honest man. At this time, the honest man's face turned red: "You said you were selling the donkey, but you didn't say you wanted to sell the donkey to a donkey meat restaurant. Let me tell you, if I hadn't been in urgent need of money. , I really don¡¯t want to sell this donkey.¡±
The person who bought the donkey was a dealer who looked a bit cunning: "Brother, the money I give you can buy half a horse. Are you greedy and want to treat your donkey as a horse?" Can¡¯t sell it?¡±
The man suddenly became anxious: "What's wrong with my donkey? Although he is a donkey, he can run faster and stronger than a horse, which means he is not as tall as a horse."
As soon as these words came out, everyone onlookers laughed, and the vendor suddenly became unhappy: "Oh haha, I haven't bought it yet. Just find someone who will buy your "horse"." After saying this, everyone was watching the excitement. The people dispersed one after another, leaving only the man selling the donkey with a red face.
Chen Jiu looked interesting and said to the waiter: "Go and ask the donkey seller to come up and explain."
Hearing this, the waiter ran down and chatted a lot with the man selling donkeys. Then he saw the man selling donkeys raising his head and looking towards the window.
When Chen Jiu saw this, he raised his glass as a gesture of courtesy.
"I've seen the young master." The man selling donkeys saw Chen Jiu dressed in luxurious clothes and gave him a restrained greeting.
Chen Jiu threw a tael of broken silver to the waiter and sent him away.
"Sit wherever you want, don't be formal." Chen Jiu stretched out his hand and gestured for the man to sit down.
After the man sat down clumsily, Chen Jiu poured him a cup of tea: "I saw what you said below was interesting. Is there really a donkey that can run faster than a horse in this world?".
When he heard about the donkey, the man suddenly became energetic: "Sir, I am not bragging. This donkey can indeed run faster than an ordinary horse. Look at the bone rod of the thigh. It can almost catch up with those thousand-mile horses." If you ask me, this is definitely a donkey king that is rare to see in a thousand years."
Chen Jiu heard what he said was interesting, and then said: "Since you are in urgent need of money, why don't you sell the donkey to that vendor?"
"I'm not afraid of young master's jokes. I love donkeys the most in my life, but I don't like horses very much. This donkey is a magical donkey that is rare to see in a thousand years. How can it be just like this? I won't sell it even if I starve to death."
When Chen Jiu heard that he loved the donkey the most in his life, he almost spit out the tea in his mouth: "Okay, okay, please give me a price for this donkey. I am about to rush to Qingzhou and I am missing a means of transportation. If this donkey is real It's as magical as you said, so I'm not stingy with a small amount of money."
At this time, the waiter brought up a plate of dumplings: "Sir, the donkey meat dumplings you asked for are here."
Looking at the man opposite, Chen Jiuyi smiled and said, "Give him a plate too."
"No, no, no, I don't eat donkey meat." The man waved his hands hurriedly.
A smile appeared on Chen Jiu's lips: "Then give him a plate of mutton. Don't tell me that your donkey meat restaurant only sells donkey meat."
Hearing this, the waiter broke into a cold sweat and muttered to himself: "We are a donkey meat restaurant, not a mutton restaurant. Of course there will be no mutton."
"There is a mutton restaurant opposite. I will just buy one for the guest." The waiter was excited and did not answer directly. Instead, he expressed his opinion on the solution.
Chen Jiu nodded: "Okay, you go down first."
Looking at the man opposite, Chen Jiu picked up a dumpling and said, "Tell me, how much does your donkey cost?".
"Fifty taels of silver," the big man glanced at Chen Jiu and said anxiously.
Chen Jiu put down the dumplings and said, "Brother, you really think your donkey is a divine donkey."
The big man put his head down and said, "Forty taels would be fine too."
Chen Jiu shook his head: "I'm too lazy to bargain with you. I just have too much money and have nowhere to spend it, so I bought a donkey to play with. Forty taels is just forty taels. You can go downstairs and clean that donkey for me later."
After finishing speaking, Chen Jiu stuffed the dumpling into his mouth: "Damn, it's a loss-making business. I just spend a lot of money. This money comes too easily and is not worth cherishing."
When the man heard this, he had no time to wait for the mutton dumplings. He went straight downstairs and borrowed a bucket of water from the shop and started washing the donkey.
After finishing the meal, Chen Jiu paid the bill, came downstairs and looked at the man who was busy: "Okay, no need to pay, this is forty taels of silver, don't waste the plate of mutton dumplings upstairs.
After saying that, Chen Jiu took the rope and led the donkey slowly towards the city gate. On the way, Chen Jiu bought a cloth bag, which is the kind that is placed on the donkey. It can hold some goods and money. .
After staying in a restaurant next to the city gate, Chen Jiu thought about the path he should take in the future. Now that he has met the great scholar, there will be no problem on the way to Qingzhou. He is not afraid of the old Black Mountain demon doing some catastrophic things. What should I do when I arrive in Qingzhou? , is it just to practice and then stay in that state capital for the rest of your life? .
Tonight, Chen Jiu rarely meditated and slept with his clothes on. As soon as the sky opened the next day, Chen Jiu led his donkey to the outside of the city and dug out his gold. After several catastrophes, the gold amounted to almost ten thousand yuan. Two more, this is definitely a huge talent.
After thousands of taels of gold and some trivial objects were placed on the donkey, there was no change. It still stood upright. Chen Jiu couldn't help but marveled: "Is this really a donkey?"
"Sir, you are here." Chen Jiu faced a carriage drive.
Li Hui sat in the carriage and looked at Chen Jiu through the window: "Well, we wasted a lot of time, let's get on our way early."
The driver is a man in his thirties, with thick knuckles and strong energy and blood. He looks like he has a lot of skills.
It¡¯s right to think about it. If there is no martial arts, who will ensure the safety of this great scholar. Although the great scholar is not without fighting ability, there is still a big gap compared with monks and warriors. After all, there is a specialization in martial arts.
Chen Jiu once again saw the magic of this donkey. It was actually able to keep up with the speed of the carriage. It was truly a magical donkey.
Nothing happened along the way. Chen Jiu slaughtered the largest village nearby. Those little bandits will probably be honest for a while.
Passing through a familiar mountainous area again, not far from the mountain village, the coachman suddenly stopped the carriage and said to the Confucian scholar on the opposite side: "Sir, there is a strong smell of blood coming from the mountain, I'm afraid something has changed."
Chen Jiu glanced at the big man in surprise. He didn't expect that this guy was so powerful. He even knew that people were dead on the mountain.
" If Chen Jiu knew that there were dead people on the mountain, it was understandable. Then this big man could feel the dead people on the mountain. His cultivation was definitely not simple.
People are dead on the mountain, not only dead, but thousands of people dead. Chen Jiu knows this, but will never say it out loud.
The scholar inside pondered for a moment, and then said: "There are probably some bandits in this mountain forest. If they die, they will die. There is no need to add any unexpected troubles. The business is back to Qingzhou."
Since the master has spoken, the big man certainly has no right to object. Chen Jiu knows it well and will not cause trouble.
After a month of bumpy roads, the group finally arrived at the legendary Qingzhou Mansion.
Qingzhou Prefecture is one of the eighteen prefectures in the dynasty. It has a long history that can be traced back to the era of Emperor Yang of the previous dynasty.
