Officer Chen 's name is Chen head, he regarding receiving the letter is half believing and half doubting, but is accompanies the armed forces to go to battle after all and has experienced the veterans of several bloody battles, has experienced Heavenly Master of Great Zhen and enemy side, is also more careful to this kind of thing, but at this moment has seen that „luck” character, Chen head almost can conclude that this thing is the treasure. 陈姓军官名叫陈首,原本他对于收到的家书将信将疑,但毕竟是随军出征并且经历过数场血战的老兵了,早就见识过大贞和敌方的天师,对此类事物也更加小心谨慎,而此刻已经见过那“福”字,陈首几乎能断定此物为宝。 This also has what words saying that Chen head in the heart on a thought that takes this now „luck” character, naturally in the letter/believes mentioned the place that needs to pay attention to he does not dare to forget, but first he must guarantee oneself can take this treasure in the situation that can make a move. 这还有什么话好说,陈首现在心中就一个念头,拿下这个“福”字,当然信中提到需要注意的地方他也不敢忘,但首先他得确保自己在能出手的情况下能拿下这宝贝。 The before stall of young man, encircles many people to look at his cargo, has the fine carving , some accessories, but Chen head draws back one step, to the surrounding, several coming together sergeants was teasing. 年轻男子的摊位前围过来不少人看着他的货物,有精美的雕刻,也有一些饰品,而陈首则退开一步,到了外围,几个同来的军士调侃着。 „This person thinks that money thinks crazily, a lucky character, dares to ask a price 12 gold, this enough bought a good house.” “这人想钱想疯了,一张福字,敢要价十两黄金,这都够买一栋上好的宅子了。” „Yes, ten writing money also almost!” „, This character looks truly looks like the pen of famous expert, ten articles were cheap.” “就是,十文钱还差不多！”“呃,这字看着确实像名家之笔,十文还是便宜了点吧。” „That 100 articles, cannot be many.” “那就一百文,不能再多了。” Chen head approaches their several steps, looked at that side stall, then inquired the companion in a low voice. 陈首走近他们几步,看了看那边摊位,然后低声询问同伴。 „How much money do you have? How many can take?” “你们有多少钱？能拿出来多少？” „? Brother Chen, do you want to go shopping?” „What must buy, without belt/bring enough money?” “啊？陈哥,你要买什么东西？”“要买啥啊,没带够钱？” „In yes, remembers to come home wants me to bring a thing to go back, money not too enough.” “是啊,想起来家里要我带点东西回去,钱不太够。” Chen head has thought carefully, oneself body cash probably 78 two silver and partly hang the copper coin, a 22 paper money and a 12 paper money, but the paper money money shop in this, in a short time cannot exchange the cash. 陈首仔细想过了,自己身上现银大概有七八两银子和半吊铜钱,还有一张二十两的银票和一张十两的银票,但银票的钱庄不在这,短期内兑换不到现银。 Chen head comes the size is in army the uncle, secondly usually is good, must therefore help everyone is glad, examines the cash. 陈首一来大小是个军中都伯,二来平时为人不错,所以要帮忙的时候大家都乐意,纷纷查看自己现银。 „I brought 22.” „I have four two silver more than 100 writing money.” “我就带了二两。”“我这有四两银子一百多文钱。” „My this also has 12.” „Uncle, I have gold fragments together, can have 12 probably.” “我这也有一两。”“都伯,我这有一块碎金,大概能有一两。” People collect, is not the paper money, altogether the cash can be as good as forty two, Chen head brow wrinkles. 一众人凑了凑,不算银票,拢共现银能抵得上四十几两,陈首眉头皱起。 „Insufficient, is insufficient......” “不够啊,还是不够啊……” Others wondered. 旁人纳闷了。 „Chen uncle, is this insufficient?” „What Brother Chen do you want to buy?” “陈都伯,这还不够？”“陈哥你要买什么啊？” „Really do not buy that lucky character?” “不会真的要买那个福字吧？” Some people saw that Chen head line of sight shoots a look at repeatedly to that side stall, such a asked, Chen head hurries to smile to shake the head to say. 有人见到陈首视线频频瞥向那边的摊位,不由这么一问,陈首赶紧笑了笑摇头道。 „That lucky character I truly like, look at likely the pen of famous expert, but 12 golds extremely.” “那福字我确实喜欢,看着像名家之笔,不过12金太过了。” „Is......” “就是……” „Walks, our nearby strolls.” “走吧,我们附近逛逛。” Chen head greeted one, everyone also walked toward another place, but before departure, Chen head approached this moment person to be short of many stalls, the man who that side is taking inventory the copper coin also looked up him. 陈首招呼一声,大家也往他处走去,但在离开前,陈首又靠近此刻人少了许多的摊位,那边正在清点铜钱的男子也抬起头看他。 „The army master, may have anything to have a liking, if you want to buy, I give you cheaply.” “军爷,可有什么看得上的,你要是想买,我就给你便宜点。” Chen head shakes the head, looks to the lucky character on wicker basket, looks that really like writes newly shortly. 陈首摇了摇头,看向箩筐上的福字,看着真的如同新写没多久的。 „This character......” “这字……” „This character do you want to buy?” “这字你要买？” The young man gawked , the subconsciousness puts out a hand according to the lucky character. 年轻男子愣了下,下意识伸手按在福字上。 „This character, do not sell, regardless of it has left blank, to/clashes this calligraphy, this/should preserves well, brings back to the home to go.” “这字,你还是别卖了,不论它是不是开过光,就冲这书法,也该好好保存,带回家去吧。” Sees Chen head do not buy, the man is also careless. 见陈首不是要买,男子又大大咧咧起来。 „This not distributing rewards master took the trouble, my Zhang Lu own discretion, lowered definitely did not sell.” “这就不劳军爷费心了,我张率自有分寸,低了肯定不卖的。” Really surnamed Zhang, Chen head nods. 果然姓张,陈首点了点头。 „That receives the character, as the saying goes the wealth does not appear externally, this character is also so, when right can you set up a stall generally?” “那就把字收起来吧,有道是财不外露,这字也是如此,对了你一般什么时候会来摆摊？” Zhang Lu flexure scratched the head, this sergeant what's the matter? But after all the opposite party seems like a military officer, does not dare to neglect. 张率挠了挠头,这军士是怎么回事？但毕竟对方看起来是个军官,不敢怠慢。 „This cannot reach an agreement, luck at games of chance good time does not come, words that sets up a stall, generally is also the day near noon.” “这说不好,手气好的时候就不来,来摆摊的话,一般也是天近晌午。” „Un.” “嗯。” Chen head nods, looked at a that lucky character again, left with soldier. 陈首点了点头,再次看了一眼那福字,才和身边的军人一起离开了。 After Zhang Lu suspends met the stall, does not see many business, then also received the thing to select the shoulder pole to depart, in gone back road upper opening snort/hum song, the mood was good, the hand extended to the bosom thinking over purse, the sound of copper coin and silver slivers hit was mutually more delightful than the singing sound. 张率又摆了会摊位之后,见没多少生意了,便也收起东西挑上扁担离去了,回去的路上口里哼着小曲,心情还是不错的,手伸到怀里掂量钱袋,铜钱和碎银相互撞击的响声比歌声更悦耳。 „Hehe, today sold must have 12 quickly!” “嘿嘿,今天卖了得有快一两！” The Zhang Lu line of sight shoots a look at to the lucky character that in a wicker basket has curled up, this character, he knows that really has definitely left blank, this character from the record has not shed the color, in the family/home the elder has also regarded as important this lucky character. 张率视线瞥向其中一个箩筐内已经卷起来的福字,这字吧,他知道肯定是真的开过光的,从记事起这字就不曾褪过颜色,家里长辈也十分看重这福字。 But Zhang Lu thought that this „luck” character was also the function that evaded to avoid evil influences slightly, even the snakeworm mouse ant could not drive, Zhang was also richer than the ordinary families slightly family circumstances, had a slightly big house, may not be any true sumptuous lifestyle rich people, had not heard in the family/home has met what unexpected wealth, was the older generation laborious practical training comes out thriftily. 但张率觉得这“福”字也就是个稍稍避避邪的作用了,连蛇虫鼠蚁都驱不了,张家也只是比寻常人家稍稍家境殷实些,有个稍大的宅子,可也算不上什么真正锦衣玉食的大户人家,也从没听说家里遇上过什么横财,都是老一辈自己辛苦劳作节俭出来的。 Therefore regarding this „luck” character, in looked in it about 20 years of Zhang Lu eyes from infancy to maturity, without is so mysterious, naturally, this character, since Zhang Jia moved does not paste outside, but was in the collector in the cabinet, this conceals was nearly ten years. 所以对于这个“福”字,在从小到大看了它近二十载的张率眼中,没那么玄乎,当然,这字自打张家搬家就不贴在外面了,而是藏家中柜子里了,这一藏就是快十年了。 In these year of families/home has crossed well, actually the Zhang family quickly this „luck” character forgetting, turned looks for the thing pawn the time until Zhang Lu few days ago, this discovered this thinks had lost „luck” character, but Zhang Lu has not disclosed. 这些年家里一直过得不错,其实张家人都快把这“福”字给忘了,直到前些日子张率翻找东西典当的时候,这才重新发现了这张本以为早就丢失了的“福”字,但张率没声张。 ...... …… After Chen head returns to the military compound, starts becomes absent-minded, in two days of time, the brain is that had seen „luck” character. 陈首回到军营中之后,开始变得心不在焉起来,两天时间里,满脑子都是那个曾经见过的“福”字。 Over the two days after he went to drill, will go to that side the rural fair to stroll, but has not actually seen that man named Zhang Lu again, he has not sufficiently collected money let alone, this made Chen head be somewhat swayed by personal gains and losses. 这两天他出操之后,都会去集市那边逛,但是却再也没见过那个叫张率的男子,更何况他还没凑够钱,这让陈首有些患得患失。 Today comes back from the rural fair again, Chen Shoulu crosses a white tent, sees inside person to write, has the matter at heart, is thinking writes a correspondence to go home to ask, but thought that this comes a letter possibly several months, is really far. 今天再次从集市那边回来,陈首路过一个白色营帐,见里头的人正在写字,心里有事,便想着是不是写封书信回家去问问,但又觉得这一来一回的信件可能数月,实在是太远。 Registrar in tent raised the head to have a look outside, saw Chen head to pace back and forth to depart, then opened the mouth to stop by calling out him. 帐篷中的主簿抬头看看外面,见陈首徘徊了一下要离去,便开口叫住了他。 „Chen uncle? Do you have the matter?” “陈都伯？你可是有事？” Chen Shoudun lives in the footsteps, in the heart agitated, is thinking this Registrar knowledge is good, oneself and he relates also well, could mediate the depression, then walked. 陈首顿住脚步,心中烦躁之下,想着这主簿学问好,自己和他关系也不错,说不定能排解一下苦闷,便走了进去。 Chen Shouxian arched cupping one hand in the other across the chest, then sighed. 陈首先是拱了拱手,然后叹气道。 „Mr. Qi, my really heart has depressed.” “祁先生,我确实心有苦闷啊。” Registrar named Qi Yuantian, is the national capital mansion person, initially Great Zhen and Zu Yue made war, just like many warm-blooded students, raised three chi (0.33 m) azure front, joined the army to go north directly. 主簿名叫祁远天,本是京畿府人士,当初大贞和祖越才开战,和许多热血书生一样,提起三尺青锋,直接从军北上。 Qi Yuantian sets out to return a courtesy, then hints Chen head to sit on stool at the same time, oneself hurry the book article ending on hand, presses down the seal, puts down the pen to look to Chen head. 祁远天起身回礼,然后示意陈首坐在一边的凳子上,自己赶紧将手上的书文结尾,又按上印章,才放下笔看向陈首。 „Chen uncle, what matter is worried?” “陈都伯,何事烦闷啊？” „Yeah, my has a liking for...... has a liking for an admiring thing, did to extremely expensively did not say, the person who sold this thing recently did not appear, at heart itchy!” “哎,我这看上……看上一件心仪之物,奈何太过昂贵不说,卖这东西的人最近也不出现,心里痒痒啊！” Under Qi Yuan sky overhead was somewhat curious, this Chen head he is knows that the manner is good, the mind is also clear, do not look is only one team of uncles, actually above will intend promotion to be a army will wait . Moreover the previous weaponry got down enjoyed the soldier's rations and pay, the merit did not have the thorough scale adjustment, by the Chen head previous performance, this promoted to be able to be solid. 祁远天心下有些好奇了,这陈首他是知道的,为人不错,头脑也清晰,别看只是一队都伯,其实上头有意将之提拔为一曲军候的,而且上一场仗下来只是赏了军饷,功劳还没彻底归算,以陈首上次的表现,这提拔应该能坐实。 „? Is what thing?” “哦？是什么东西啊？” „Is...... yeah, is a rare thing, does not talk clearly, right Mr. Qi, how many silver coins your has, can facilitate to borrow me some?” “是……哎,是个稀罕的东西,说不清,对了祁先生,你那有多少银两,可方便借我一些？” „I?” “我？” Qi Yuantian is somewhat funny, fishes out the own purse to take a look toward, except for copper coin, but also some silver ingots as well as broken silver broken gold. 祁远天有些好笑,摸出自己的钱袋子往里瞅了瞅,除了铜钱,还有些银锭以及碎银子碎金子。 „Big probable value silver bar 120.” “大概值纹银百两吧。” Chen head stares. 陈首一愣。 „So many? Whether taking advantage of my some, taking advantage of me 32, 32 enough!” “这么多？可否借我一些,借我三十两,三十两就够了！” „32? This is not the small number!” “三十两啊？这可不是小数目啊！” Qi Yuantian smiles. 祁远天笑了笑。 „That, doesn't Mr. Qi taking advantage of borrow?” “那,那祁先生借是不借啊？” „Taking advantage, Chen uncle's manner, Qi can also be untrustworthy?” “借,陈都伯的为人,祁某还能信不过？” Then Chen head mood many. 这下陈首心情一下好了不少。 „Hahahaha, many thanks Mr. Qi, many thanks! Oh, what a pity light richly also insufficient......” “哈哈哈哈,多谢祁先生了,多谢了！唉,可惜光有钱还不够啊……” Qi Yuantian has a look at him, lowers the head reorganizes gold and silver from the purse, some of his sergeants, will not after sometimes attack a city will seize territory, will indulge in dissipation to vent, many gratuities saved, in addition the position will not be low, therefore the extra money will be many. 祁远天看看他,低头从钱袋里整理金银,他不似一些军士,有时候攻城略地之后还会去花天酒地发泄一下,很多犒赏都存了下来,加上职位也不低,所以余钱不少。 Selects several in the purse, suddenly, bunch of golden light flashes through, making Qi Yuantian act, then pointed in the purse dialed, inside had two copper coin to be as if more conspicuous than other copper coin. 在钱袋中挑拣几下,忽然,一簇金光闪过,令祁远天动作一顿,然后手指在钱袋中拨了下,里头有两枚铜钱似乎比其他铜钱都惹眼些。 „Mr. Qi? What's wrong?” “祁先生？怎么了？” „? All right, all right, 32, happen to I have the silver scale......” “啊？哦,没事,没事,三十两是吧,正好我这有银秤……” Looks that Qi Yuantian will be complete the gold and silver or disintegrating to take to weigh, Chen Shouxiang that lucky character, was also asking one suddenly. 看着祁远天将完整或者散碎的金银拿出来过秤,陈首想着那个福字,忽然又问了一句。 „Mr. Qi, you said, what can has the luck?” “祁先生,你说,什么才能算是有福呢？” Qi Yuantian actually takes gold and silver to look at the purse deep place each time, but hears this issue to find it interesting, thinks under raised the head the reply. 祁远天其实每次取金银都在看钱袋深处,不过听到这问题还是觉得有趣,想了下抬头回答。 „Actually, according to seeing of Qi, so-called has the luck, is not greatly richly greatly expensive/noble, is not the sumptuous lifestyle is accompanied by a retinue.” “其实吧,依祁某之见,所谓有福,不是大富大贵,不是锦衣玉食前呼后拥。” „What is that?” “那是什么？” „Remembers also studies, once Hedeng the brother had discussed this issue, what is the luck? Well-off, the domestic peace and no disaster do not have the tribulation, not getting sick indolence, does not hate others , was not hated by others, generally speaking is the life goes smoothly, lives comfortably easily and comfortably, not too many worries, the parental longevity, finds a wife virtuously, having children and grandchildren all around, is the good fortunes, you have a look at the place of this Zu Yue, how many so can others have?” “记得还求学的时候,曾和邓兄讨论过这问题,什么是福呢？家境殷实、家庭和睦、无灾无劫、无病无痛,不仇恨他人,也不被他人所恨,总的来说就是生活顺遂,活得舒适安逸,并无太多烦恼,父母高寿,娶妻贤惠,儿孙满堂,都是福气啊,你看看这祖越之地,如此人家能有多少？” Chen Shouting deep is so, the nod echoes one. 陈首听着深以为然,点头附和一句。 „Mr. Qi said in the principle, beforehand Zu Yue, the greatly rich family/home was also kept thinking about easily, the family/home of power falls into the vortex......” “祁先生说得在理,以前的祖越,大富之家还容易遭人惦记,大权之家又身陷漩涡……” „Is this principle.” “是这个理。” Qi Yuantian this also weighing good gold and silver. 祁远天这会也称量好了金银。 „Almost 52, not good minute/share, Chen uncle, and first takes away to use.” “差不多三十二两,不太好分,陈都伯且先拿去用吧。” „Yeah, many thanks Mr. Qi!” “哎,多谢祁先生！” Chen Shouzhan got up good a ritual, received gold and silver that the opposite party handed over, the heavy feeling made him steadfaster. 陈首站起来行了一礼,才接过对方递来的金银,沉甸甸的感觉让他踏实了一些。 „Chen said goodbye, Mr. Qi had the matter to look for me, can accomplish certainly assisted!” “陈某告辞,祁先生有事可以来找我,能办到的一定鼎力相助！” „Un good, does not deliver.” “嗯好,不送。” Qi Yuantian also stands to return a courtesy, when Chen head walked, he sits to take out two copper coin from the purse immediately, this money takes, looks is only ordinary, but that feeling also. 祁远天也站起来回礼,等陈首走了,他立刻坐下来从钱袋中取出两枚铜钱,这钱一取出来,又看着只是普普通通,但那种感觉还在。 „This money was...... is right!” “这钱是……对了！” Qi Yuantian recalls suddenly, initially before joining the army, as if in the teahouse of national capital mansion, has the demeanor mister to leave behind two article tips to him, carefully what thinks actually unable to remember that person to be long. 祁远天忽然回想起来,当初从军之前,似乎在京畿府的一个茶馆中,一个颇有风度的先生留下过两文茶钱给他,只是仔细想想却也想不起那人长什么样了。 ‚It is not right, initially shortly after joined the army, the purse has not lost one time, this copper coin also this/should lost together to...... isn't that two?’ ‘不对啊,当初从军不久,钱袋不是丢过一次吗,这铜钱也该一起丢了才对的……难道不是那两枚？’ Qi Yuantian knit the brows to think some little time, the intuition told him, these two copper coin, were initially that two. 祁远天皱眉想了好一会,直觉告诉他,这两枚铜钱,就是当初那两枚。 „, The weaponry almost fired off, was about to celebrate new year, I should also go to a rural fair, what bought?” “呃,仗差不多打完了,也快过年了,我是不是也该去趟集市,买点什么？” Because of the words of Chen head, Qi Yuantian also moved the thoughts of going to the rural fair. 因为陈首的话,祁远天也动了去集市的心思。
