Chapter 6: A broken piece of silver

Hua Qingxue finally calmed down and reacted much more freely than before.

She quickly took the thing and unfolded it to examine it carefully. It turned out to be an ordinary military jacket. The cotton inside had been taken out, leaving only an outer jacket.

Judging from the style, it seems to be better than the military jackets worn by the two people in front of me. Not only does it have more decorative embroidery, but the lining inside is actually decorated with circles of mink fur. The quality of the mink hair should be only low-grade, and there are large blood stains in many places. As a result, the lining has not only lost its original softness, but also feels very rough.

Hua Qingxue already understood that they were here to do laundry for her!

"Can I wash it or not?!" the other party shouted.

Thinking of what these Liao soldiers did, Hua Qingxue felt a chill. She didn't want to have anything to do with such people, so she immediately wanted to pretend to be stupid and refuse!

Hua Qingxue was about to refuse, but when the words came to her lips... she swallowed them back alive.

She is just a weak female, helpless here. The Liao soldiers have already come to her door. They must have inquired about her situation. How dare she refuse? If this offends these Liao soldiers...

Hua Qingxue shuddered!

She immediately pretended to be afraid, lowered her head and said she could wash it.

The other party was finally satisfied and said, "It's good if it can be washed. There are still 180 pieces of clothes like this. Someone will deliver them tomorrow."

Hua Qingxue was so shocked that she hurriedly raised her head and said in a panic: "This military master! If there are one hundred and eighty pieces, there is no way they can be washed!"

The soldier leader suddenly lost his composure, his eyes showed a fierce look, and he said angrily: "What?! One piece can be washed, but a hundred and eighty can't be washed? How dare you play tricks on me?!"

Hua Qingxue didn't care about her backbone or dignity. She knelt down on the ground and begged: "How dare you deceive the military masters? It was my blessing to wash a few pieces of clothes for you military masters, but 180 Ten items, but it requires a lot of things. The little girl's family is poor and she can't make a living doing laundry. A few items are still affordable, but one hundred and eighty items... this... this tells me what should I do... "

After Hua Qingxue finished speaking, she lowered her head and cried, looking extremely pitiful.

The two Liao soldiers did not expect that washing their clothes would be such a hassle.

They saw Hua Qingxue kneeling on the ground sobbing, and the yard behind her was simple and dilapidated. There was only a young child standing in the yard, looking at them in horror. The two of them thought that this woman must not be lying. It was true that her family was poor, but what kind of things were needed for washing clothes

In such doubt, the Liao soldier asked: "What can I use to wash my clothes? It's just some plant ash and soap locust. Are you trying to fool me? Huh?"

Hua Qingxue replied with tears: "Ordinary clothes are naturally like this, but such old blood stains cannot be washed away."

Hmm... After what she said, the two of them felt that it made sense, so they said, "Tell me first, what do you need."

Hua Qingxue didn't know which nerve in her mind was activated, she just felt a burst of lightning, thunder and fire in her head! She blurted out: "If the blood stain is on the surface, you can wash it with radish puree, boil it with white radish soup, and rinse it with water several times to wash it off. But this blood stain is stained on silk and hair... Two military masters, This silky thing is the most intolerant to rubbing. If you scrub it forcibly, the blood stains may not be removed, so the hair will have to be removed first... "

When Hua Qingxue said this, she quietly went to look at the Liao soldier's expression. Seeing that he seemed to believe most of it, she continued: "... If you want to remove the stains on it, the process is extremely complicated, and radish is used in this process. , salt, Glauber's salt, quicklime, sulfur, starch... Oh, it's potato starch, and it also needs vinegar... "

The Liao soldiers became more and more impatient as they listened, and because they were pointing at Hua Qingxue doing the laundry, he couldn't do anything to her. He was very irritated, waved his hand to interrupt Hua Qingxue's words, took out a small piece of broken silver and threw it on the ground, "I'm sorry. You have so much time to remember these messy things, you can take care of it yourself! If you dare to lie to me, I will kill you!"

Hua Qingxue quickly picked up the silver, and while wiping her tears, she nodded and bowed to the Liao soldiers, "How dare you deceive the military master? I must wash your clothes cleanly for him."

The Liao soldiers were satisfied, snorted, looked behind Hua Qingxue, and asked, "Who is that little kid in the back?"

Hearing this, Hua Qingxue felt a chill run down her back. She faintly stabilized her trembling legs and replied, "Master Jun, that's my sister, she's mute..."

After Hua Qingxue finished speaking, she felt guilty, fearing that the two of them would see something fishy, but it was not convenient to wink at Li Jingnan in front of him, and she felt confused!

The Liao soldier only glanced at it and withdrew his gaze, no longer entangled, only told Hua Qingxue a few words, then turned around and left with his companions.

Hua Qingxue kept staring at their backs until they disappeared around the corner of the alley, then she breathed a sigh of relief. She spread her palms, and the piece of silver in her hands was already soaked with sweat from her palms...

call…

It’s quite peaceful…

Turning around to look at Li Jingnan, seeing that he was still dumbfounded, Hua Qingxue walked over and patted him, "Are you scared?"

Li Jingnan breathed out, his tone was very sincere, "It almost scared me out of my mind..."

Anyway, they left, and Hua Qingxue felt a lot more relaxed. She smiled and said, "I was scared to death too. Look, my palms are all sweaty. But we were lucky, and we happened to meet you with wet hair. They really treat you like a little girl! They didn’t doubt us! Haha!”

Li Jingnan felt a little awkward, but facing Hua Qingxue, he felt that there was no need to blush, so he hummed and continued to wipe his hair with a dry cloth.

Hua Qingxue was almost crazy with joy at this time. She was holding the money and laughing in the yard: "I just asked for fragrant soap, and this fragrant soap was delivered to my door! Hahahaha... Soap! Soap!..."

"It's just a piece of broken silver, so what..." Li Jingnan commented mercilessly.

Unexpectedly, Hua Qingxue suddenly pounced on him! Holding Li Jingnan's face, he gave it a hard smack!

Li Jingnan was shocked! After regaining consciousness, he was shocked and angry, and shouted: "What kind of epilepsy are you having again?"

Hua Qingxue stood in the yard and giggled, "Don't you want spicy food? I'll get it for you tomorrow, ah! By the way, not only can you get spicy food, but also glycerin!"

Glycerin is a good thing to prevent frostbite!

Li Jingnan disagreed very much, and said worriedly: "Don't act recklessly. They bought you radishes and washed your clothes with this money. Don't spend it carelessly..."

Hua Qingxue waved her hands, still looking cheerful, "It's okay, the soap is made to wash clothes. Besides, their clothes were washed by people in the military camp, and they are almost in good condition. , but the blood stains on the inner lining couldn’t be washed away, maybe I heard from somewhere that I could wash away the blood stains, so I came here.”

Hua Qingxue said, not knowing what she was thinking of, and suddenly laughed. She looked at Li Jingnan ghostly and said, "Hehe... I can also make bubble water by the way. Your Highness, you must have never played with bubbles." Water?…”

Li Jingnan felt that his caring feelings were completely wasted by Hua Qingxue. He snorted coldly and said, "I don't know what to say!" Then he shook his head with dignity and went into the house -

It's not without reason that Hua Qingxue is so happy.

She had been poor, hungry, and cold for so long. She was worried about her future livelihood, and money fell from the sky. It would be strange if she didn't go crazy.

The price level here is similar to that in the Zhenguan period of the Tang Dynasty. One thousand copper coins can usually be converted into one tael of silver. One dou of rice is five cents. One tael of silver can buy two hundred dou of rice, which is twenty shi. If according to the modern rice price If you calculate it, the two pieces of silver that Hua Qingxue got is equivalent to 4,130 yuan!

Just imagine, a person who spends a dime every day digging flowers suddenly gets four thousand yuan! Could she not be ecstatic

Hua Qingxue thought of the Tang Dynasty and couldn't help but froze. The memories were like water bursting from a dam, connecting past cognition and common sense and washing out together.

-Yes... This is not her original world. So, what kind of world is this

Has she gone back in time? But it doesn't look like it either.

Although prices are similar to those during the Zhenguan period, judging from the clothing of the people here, they look more like the Song Dynasty.

Moreover, several opposing political forces here are also consistent with the Song Dynasty, such as the Liao Kingdom in front of us... But, what about the Jin Kingdom

Not only is there no trace of the Jin Kingdom here, Hua Qingxue has never heard Li Jingnan mention the Khitans or Jurchens. You must know that the Liao Dynasty was founded by the Khitans in history and was finally overthrown by the Jurchens. If the people here have no clan concept , which probably illustrates one point, that is, the Liao Kingdom in this world has completed the complex process of national integration early...

Hua Qingxue thought to herself: The emperor of Liao was really powerful... No wonder he was able to force Qi to the point of ceding territory and paying compensation...

Ruling out the possibility of traveling back in time, Hua Qingxue felt that she could only use parallel space to explain her experience.

Something must have happened to her, and she accidentally ended up in this world that is very similar to ancient times. It is similar to the intersection of potential energy surfaces in quantum chemistry. When two unrelated potential energy surfaces intersect, a correlation is created - time and space. The two surfaces have an intersection, so when a transition occurs with a certain probability at a specific point in time and space...

Hua Qingxue felt that the gravitational pull of the magnetic field on that mountain was particularly strong. This time traveling through space might not be an accidental space jump. She should have been forcibly pulled over by some kind of gravitational force.

well…

What's the use of explaining this

She still couldn't remember the slightest bit of who she was...

While the sun had not yet set and it was still warm outside, Hua Qingxue took the money and went out.

The people hiding in the alley also took action.

Seeing that Hua Qingxue was about to go out, the bearded man winked at Qin Laowu, and Qin Laowu immediately walked into the small courtyard with understanding.

The bearded man, on the other hand, followed Hua Qingxue with gentle steps...
