At the end of November, the coldest temperature in Kyoto should be below zero. This is Xu Qi'an getting up in the morning and seeing a thin layer of ice in the yard's water tank, and judged it accordingly.
The Great Feng Dynasty occupies the central plains of Kyushu and claims to be orthodox in the world. The climate of the capital should belong to the temperate continental monsoon climate.
In this climate region, winter will be very difficult if there is no heating.
"In this era, freezing bones in winter is a matter of course. It's only natural." Xu Qi'an sighed in his heart.
Some regret that their mathematics, physics and chemistry are not good enough to carry out farming in this era of backward infrastructure and material scarcity.
That way, it can be a great benefit to the people.
The sun was hanging warmly in the sky, and the beautiful girl was holding her five-year-old sister, wandering in high spirits on the downtown street, her eyes like autumn water looked left and right, and the corners of her delicate mouth hung with a small smile.
The younger sister is wearing a light blue robe today, and the entwined flower vines are in full bloom on her cuffs and dress.
The loose cuffs fluttered, making her a little more fairy-like.
Xu Qi'an will inevitably think of the beauties in ancient costumes in the previous life, and then compare them in his heart. Women in this era tend to serve conservatively, and they are not as coquettish as the beauties in ancient costumes in previous lives.
"I suddenly thought of a way to make money. Can I improve my clothes to make women's clothes more beautiful and attractive?" Xu Qi'an had an idea.
In an instant, many epoch-making women's clothing flashed in his mind: hollows, black silk, garter, and the open door
Stop, stop, I'll be pulled to Meridian Gate and beheaded!
The horse-drawn carriages, the merchants carrying the goods, the passers-by in a hurry, and the shops lined up form a vivid picture of the ancient market.
After a month of getting along, Xu Lingyue's perception of her cousin has changed a lot. Not as frustrating as it used to be.
In the past, because of his aunt, he didn't like the original owner except Uncle Xiao's Xiaodouding and the other two younger siblings.
At first, Xu Lingyue would still call her big brother, but after being snubbed many times, she just nodded when they met.
Now the relationship has improved a lot, but still a little strange. The beautiful big girl pulled the little girl to the side, deliberately separated from Xu Qi'an by two positions.
Xiaodouding was attracted by various things on the street, and tried to break free from her sister several times, but was firmly held back.
"Candied haws, candied haws" Xiaodouding pointed at a merchant on the street and shouted crisply.
"I don't want any more teeth?" my sister reprimanded, dragging her forward.
The Xu family was in great distress and their money was exhausted. This month has been quite difficult. Xu Lingyue has no copper money to buy candied haws for her sister.
Xu Qi'an walked behind and looked at her younger sister, mainly the eldest sister, who was tall and slender, showing the youthfulness and slenderness of a girl.
The back is like a budding willow, perhaps not as plump as a mature woman, but that youthful and lively charm is unique to girls of this age.
"Big brother, big brother" Xiaodouding was in a hurry, pouted his butt, and plowed the ground with his feet to resist the pull of his sister.
Xu Lingyue bit her lip with a worried and annoyed expression.
"Big brother didn't bring any silver, but it will be available soon." Xu Qi'an motioned to the younger sister to stay calm. While speaking, the soles of her feet stepped on a hard object. When she looked down, it was a dull piece of silver.
He leaned over to pick it up, weighed it, and sure enough it was a coin.
In the past month, he has picked up a penny too often.
Xu Lingyue's eyes widened.
Found the silver? !
Today, the money for listening to music in Goulan has time to calculate. He has not gone to Goulan for two days because he has not found any money.
Xu Qi'an was a little happy, holding the broken silver and facing the merchant, "Give me three strings of candied haws."
"Okay," the dark-skinned trader took off three strings with a smile: "Six coppers."
The broken silver could not be found. The shop next to the candied haws was broken open, and he kept six of them. He retrieved Xu Qi'an's 94 copper plates and tied them with a string.
In Dafeng's currency system, one tael of silver = eight coins = 100 yuan, and gold is a luxury, not in the currency system. Poor people may never have access to gold.
Xu Qi'an took the copper coins and the candied haws, bit a bunch of them in his mouth, and then handed the two strings of candied haws to the two sisters.
Xu Lingyue took it reservedly and said softly, "Thank you, brother."
She took a bite, enjoying the sweetness in her mouth, her big eyes curved into crescent moons, which could best hit the softness of a straight man's heart.
Xu Qi'an nodded, and then looked at Xiaodouding, she was already nibbling.
"Big brother, is your candied gourd sweet?" Xu Lingyin asked vaguely with her cheeks bulging.
"You want to eat it." Xu Qi'an broke through the little girl's thoughts.
"Ah? How did the eldest brother know." Xu Lingyin was taken aback, but he did not expect his thoughts to be known by the eldest brother. The eldest brother is really powerful.
Xu Qi'an let out a 'heh', "If you eat too much sugar gourd, worms will grow in your mouth."
"What kind of worm grows?" Xiaodouding's little face showed vigilance.
Xu Qi'an thought about it and described it to her: "It's the kind of chubby, greasy bug."
Just after he finished speaking, he saw his little sister swallowing.
Jue Xu Dalang bowed his hands to her, and Tang Hulu offered it with both hands.
Xu Qi'an led the two younger sisters across the road, the bustling scene of the capital flashed through his pupils, and he didn't feel very happy in his heart.
I just found the silver again
This unscientific!
He was born in a police academy and is extremely sensitive to such unexplainable details.
"Could it be related to my crossing?"
Xu Qi'an clearly remembered that before he crossed over, he did not touch the antiques or was touched by the old grandpa laughing at the dog's head.
"This is my golden finger? But what's the matter with one penny a day, it happens to be the money for listening to music in Goulan. So, is it God's will that I spend every day in Goulan?"
"Let's find a way to break through to practicing Qi first. For now, no matter what the problem is with your body, it's always good to go out and pick up money."
"I'll level up first, and then observe to see if there will be any changes in the future. Also, I don't know where the ceiling of the world's force value is. With stronger abilities in the future, I may be able to figure out the reason for the bad luck."
Xu Qi'an is vigilant about weird shit luck. If it's a system, he will happily accept it, because it's within his understanding.
There is a brothel in this street called "Guiyuelou", which is a third-class brothel.
Thanks to the words and deeds of Wang Zhaotou and others, Xu Qi'an learned enough brothel knowledge, which greatly enriched his personal cultural heritage.
The suffix of the brothel can determine its specifications. The first- and second-class brothels are mainly suffixed with 'courtyard', 'hall' and 'ge'.
The third- and fourth-level brothels are mostly named after 'class', 'lou' and 'shop'!
Before noon, the girls in the brothel actually opened their doors ahead of schedule. A few beautiful girls in red and green were leaning on the beauties on the second floor, smiling at the passers-by on the street.
When he saw the one he liked (wearing satin), he waved his colorful handkerchief and said softly, "Sir, come up and have a drink."
Even if it is a third-class brothel, you will have to pay two cents of silver to go in. You have to sleep with a girl. According to the quality, the low one is about five or six cents, and the expensive one is two or two. up people.
It's not necessary, he only had a few taels of money. He looked at Yingying and Yanyan who were sitting lazily on the second floor, sitting on top of the beauties, and sighed, "At that time, when I was young and thin, I rode on a leaning bridge, and was full of red sleeves. !"
This is what all men dream of.
"Big brother poetry should be used in the right place." Xu Lingyue said lightly.
She tasted it silently in her heart, and sighed silently, maybe the second uncle was right, the elder brother is the seed of reading.
"Brother, the ladies upstairs are so beautiful." Xiaodouding said crisply.
"If you do business, of course you have to dress decently." Xu Qi'an replied.
"What business?"
"Abalone seller."
"Abalone?" Xiaodouding's eyes were bright, looking up at the brothel, unwilling to leave.
"Big Brother!" Xu Lingyue stomped her feet and shouted, as if embarrassed, blaming Xu Qi'an for not discussing this with her younger sister.
Xu Qi'an turned his head and glanced at the girl, what are you angry about? Could it be that you understand my stalk
Leaving the brothel behind, passing by a fish and meatball shop, the fragrance of the fragrance made Xiaodouding's legs take root.
Xu Lingyue took a few glances over there and swallowed quietly. After being released from prison, the Xu family was so poor that they could only eat meat and fish once every three days.
When she happened to be long, she had a great need for food, especially meat.
"Wait, my brother will buy it for you."
The shop is not big, and there are many people queuing to buy it. Xu Qi'an asked her sisters to wait by the roadside and squeezed in by herself.
"Big brother is so nice." Xiaodouding said crisply while swallowing, and looked at her sister.
Xu Lingyue held her sister's little hand and looked at Xu Qi'an's back, the corners of her mouth turned up unconsciously.
Soon, Xu Qi'an bought three fish meatballs and packed them in butter paper bags. When they returned, they saw four or five entourages surrounding Xu Lingyue, and they didn't touch her, making fun of her.
The beautiful sixteen-year-old girl was like a trapped elk, trying to break out of the siege while protecting herself, but she was always forced back by her entourage.
She was about to cry in a hurry, her face full of fear.
The squires laughed.
On the side, a brocade-clothed young man was riding on the back of a horse, watching this scene like a play.
Seeing that her sister was being bullied, Xu Lingyin ran to the son with her short legs, threw her small body forward, put her hands behind her, and then cried with a "wow", launching a sonic attack.
"Noisy." Brother Young Master raised the whip in his hand subconsciously, and suddenly stopped, a cruel look flashed in his eyes, and he pulled the reins, forcing the horse to raise its hooves and trample down towards Xu Lingyin.
Xu Lingyue let out a mournful whimper.
