Does the son you do, where makes room ash?” “咳咳……儿啊你干什么呢,哪弄得一屋子灰哟？” „, The mother, you did not say that must clean, I brush off the dust......” “呃,娘,您不是说要打扫吗,我掸尘呢……” „Coughs...... brushes off the dust you to brush off? Also does not know that all day long no steady job anything, comes out, washed to eat meal.” “咳咳咳……掸尘你这么掸的？也不知道成天瞎混什么,出来出来,洗洗吃饭了。” The mother blamed one, oneself turned around first to walk. 母亲责备一句,自己转身先走了。 „Aii, immediately come, immediately come.” “哎哎,马上来,马上来。” Zhang Lu slightly character squeezes in „luck” the own bosom afraid, then goes out the clean. 张率略显心虚地将“福”字重新塞入自己的怀中,然后才出了门清洗。 In the family/home the father and elder brother go out, the elder sister has gotten married, is only left over Zhang Lu and younger sister and mother three people, eating meal time Zhang Lu seems somewhat afraid, he of ordinary many words clamps the vegetable/dish to eat meal today, words few. 家里父亲和兄长外出,姐姐早就出嫁了,只剩下张率和妹妹以及母亲三人,吃饭的时候张率显得有些心虚,平常多话的他今天只是夹菜吃饭,话都没几句。 When finished eating, Zhang Lu left the table in a hurry, returning to that dust just to fall to the ground the shortly after room, a hand cover in the chest, the whole person lay on the bed is somewhat annoyed. 等吃完了,张率就匆匆离桌了,回到了那个灰尘刚刚落地没多久的房间,一只手罩在胸口,整个人躺在床上有些心烦。 In this period, opened the master the mop to enter the room, helping Zhang Lu sweep clear the dust in room, but also towed , the Zhang Lu rare help cleaned up together, after mother walked, he was confused. 期间,张母带着拖把进屋,帮着张率把屋里的灰尘清扫了一下,还拖了下地,张率难得帮忙一起清理,等母亲走后,他就更是心烦意乱。 The day gets dark gradually, Zhang Lu did not have the sleepiness, lies is indulging in flights of fancy on the bed, even had considered to possibility that mother makes a clean breast, but pondered that the consequence shivers with fright to give up. 天渐渐黑下来,张率却一直毫无睡意,躺在床上胡思乱想着,甚至有考虑过对母亲全盘托出的可能,但细想后果又不由打了个冷战放弃了。 ‚Early tomorrow morning goes to the rural fair to set up a stall, the best that Great Zhen sergeant can come......’ ‘明天一早去集市摆摊,最好那个大贞的军士能来……’ Next day Zhang Lu had early in the morning, had the breakfast to select the shoulder pole wicker basket, bringing oneself other pin money to catch up toward outside in a hurry. 第二天张率起了个大早,吃了早饭就挑上扁担箩筐,带了自己剩余的一点私房钱匆匆往外头赶。 Before having the courtyard was also stumbled by the front gate threshold, falls to fall flat on one's face greatly, in the winter the clothes also hurt thickly some little time. 临出院子还被院门的门槛绊了一跤,摔了个大马趴,冬天衣服厚实也疼了好一会。 Zhang Lu has not gone to the rural fair directly, just like past several times, went to and father intersects sworn friend Uncle Yu that after the inexpensive price bought a number of accessory combs and other things, selects the wicker basket toward the rural fair to walk. 张率没直接去集市,和以往几次一样,去到和自家父亲相交莫逆老余叔那,以低廉的价格买了一批饰品梳子等物件之后,才挑着箩筐往集市走。 The choice rural fair is emptying a corner, Zhang Lu suspends the wicker basket, character spreads out „luck”, starts to call loudly. 挑选集市空着的一个角落,张率将箩筐摆好,把“福”字摊开,开始大声吆喝起来。 ...... …… Today Chen head has not come, because Zhang Lu said that he must earliest close to the noon time will appear, late possibly is in the afternoon, but at this moment dawn shortly, at the rural fair is completely on time stall keeper, even the passenger flow does not have many. 今天陈首还没有来,因为张率说他最早也要临近晌午的时候才会出现,迟一点可能就是下午,而此刻不过天亮没多久呢,集市上尽是赶早的摊贩,连客流都没多少。 Zhang Lu calls resoundingly, quick discovered the guest who this can communicate are not many, some waste sentiments , can only wait, and once for a while calls one, prevented to miss the person. 张率吆喝得响亮,很快就发现这会来往的客人不多,有些浪费感情了,也只能等着,并且时不时吆喝一声,防止错过了人。 However Chen head has not come, Qi Yuantian actually comes today, he has no very strong sense of purpose, has been long in the military compound dwelling, wants to come out to stroll, bought a thing while convenient. 不过陈首没来,祁远天今天却是来了,他并没有什么很强的目的性,就是一直在军营宅久了,想出来逛逛,顺便买点东西。 Looks cursorily, on Qi Yuantian face has had the smile, the rural fair of sea Pyongsong naturally to remember him the national capital mansion difference was farther, but also has the own characteristics, one of them is the extremely rich seafood. 一路走马观花地看过来,祁远天脸上一直带着笑容,海平城的集市当然是比他记忆中的京畿府差远了,但也有自己的特色,其中之一就是极其丰富的海鲜。 „Comes to see, fresh big sea eel.” „Here has the good crab, is lives!” “来看看咯,新鲜的大海鳗咯。”“这边有上好的螃蟹,都是活的！” „Sea perch the sea perch, 15 jin (0.5 kg) fresh sea perch” „old goby, ate under the milk” “海鲈啊海鲈,十五斤的新鲜海鲈啊”“老虎鱼咯,吃了下奶哦” These big fish, prawns and big crab were installed sea water in the wooden box the child , the person who some deaths, some still jumped for joy, before looking at Qi Yuantian this type, has not seen to cross ocean particularly to be novel. 那些大鱼、大虾、大螃蟹被人连带海水装在木盒子里,有的死了,有的依然活蹦乱跳,看得祁远天这种以前没见过海的人分外新奇。 But Qi Yuantian passes through, the people in these stalls call compare to go all out, not only this is because Qi Yuantian looks is a scholar, a bigger reason is this scholar waist saber, on this studying face has the belt/bring like this curious color, in very big probability said that only then a possibility, this person was to come from the Great Zhen student. 而祁远天走过,那些摊位上的人吆喝得都比较卖力,这不光是因为祁远天一看就是个读书人,更大的原因是这个读书人腰间佩剑,这种读书人脸上有带着这样的好奇之色,很大概率上讲只有一种可能,此人是来自大贞的书生。 „Selling ‚luck’ character, the work of famous expert, expert has left blank, please go in home to be propitious next year, so long as gold 12” “卖‘福’字咯,名家之作,高人开过光,请回家中来年吉祥咯,只要黄金十两” Not far away, Zhang Lu also called, attracted the past Qi Yuantian attention, sells „luck” character to dare to ask a price unexpectedly 12? Is calligraphy everyone writes „hundred lucky posts” and so on, with 100 lucky characters of different style writing? 不远处,张率也吆喝了一声,将祁远天的注意力吸引了过去,卖“福”字居然敢要价十两？难道是书法大家写“百福贴”之类,以一百种不同风格书写的福字？ The scholars are certainly interested in this kind of matter, Qi Yuantian was no exception, to follow the sound to seek for the past, in that side Zhang Lu stall 2-3 people are also looking at the thing, but looked at the ground the hairpin comb. 读书人当然是对此类事感兴趣的,祁远天也不例外,就顺着声音找寻过去,那边张率摊位上也有2-3人在看东西,但只是看地上的簪子梳子。 Qi Yuantian comes close, sees in slightly far position glance is only an upright large character luck, on that in the gate pastes, immediately the interest reduces greatly, walks while said with a smile. 祁远天走到近处,在稍远位置一瞥就看到只是一张方正的大字福,就门上贴的那种,顿时兴趣大减,边走边笑道。 „Your this vendor, shouting out the price is extremely also scary, ‚luck’ character dares to want 12 golds, extremely......” “你这摊主,叫价也太过唬人,一个‘福’字敢要12金,也太过……” The wishful thinking four characters cannot say from Qi Yuantian mouth, he sees this in the vicinity „luck” character, immediately was shocked. 痴心妄想四个字没能从祁远天口里说出来,他在近处一看到这“福”字,顿时就愣住了。 „Yes, this person, thinks that money thinks crazily, before had also sold.” „Yes, no one is serious ha haha......” “就是,这人啊,想钱想疯了,之前也来卖过。”“是啊,没人当回事的哈哈哈……” „Urges to go faster, you understand anything, some of my people will naturally buy.” “去去,你们懂什么,我这自然有人会买的。” Zhang Lu is saying, raised the head to see the student who looks at the character in stall unexpectedly dull, immediately smiled one. 张率这么说着,抬头看到来的书生居然呆呆地看着摊位上的字,顿时笑了一句。 „What kind of, can this character write?” “怎么样,这字写得好吧？” Qi Yuantian turns away from the character difficultly, looks nods to Zhang Lu. 祁远天艰难地将视线从字上移开,望向张率点了点头。 „Not is only good...... this character...... this character simply......” “岂止是好啊……这字……这字简直……” Qi Yuantian words have not continued, although 12 golds buy a character to be somewhat absurd, and this character also has no inscription, but this character has to plant the indescribable feeling. 祁远天话没有继续说下去,虽然12金买一个字有些荒谬,且这字也根本没有什么落款,但这字有种无法形容的感觉。 „Does this character come? Is who the book? Can have other calligraphy and painting?” “这字怎么来的？是何人所书？可还有别的字画？” The Zhang Lu then also spirit, at present this obviously is the Great Zhen student, unexpectedly seemingly is really interested in this character, is this wants to buy? 张率这下也精神起来,眼前这个明显是大贞的书生,居然貌似真的对这字感兴趣,这是想买？ ‚Is the Great Zhen person really different on the thought?’ ‘难道大贞的人真就思维迥异？’ Flings in the heart the idea, Zhang Lu hurries to say. 甩去心中想法,张率赶紧道。 „My father is young that meeting expert to write, let me tell you, this character may be mysterious, so many year of black colors such as new, my family also such, which also has much, 12 golds absolutely are not exaggerating, you must really want to buy, I can be slightly cheaper......” “我爹还年轻那会一个高人写的,我跟你说,这字可玄乎呢,这么多年墨色如新啊,我家也就这么一张,哪还有多的啊,12金绝对不是夸大,你要真的想买,我可以稍稍便宜一些……” Zhang Lu is that set of excuse, but Qi Yuantian has started to calculate the own money, and asked one freely spoken. 张率又是那套说辞,而祁远天已经开始盘算自己的钱了,并顺口问了一句。 „How many to be cheap?” “便宜多少？” Zhang Lu heard that the word stares slightly. 张率闻言微微一愣。 „Do you really want to buy?, I meant, words that you really must buy, I thought that you should be the scholar who Great Zhen comes, I usually most admired the real man who your sabers go to battle with, if you buy, 92 golds , 92 golds I sold to you, enough cheap 12 gold!” “你真要买？呃,咳咳,我是说,你真的要买的话,我看你应该是大贞来的读书人,我平素最佩服你们这些佩剑出征的大丈夫,你若要买,92金,92金我就卖给你,足足便宜了一两黄金呢！” „92, 92......” “九两,九两……” Under Qi Yuan sky overhead considers as finished silently, clenched teeth to fish out the purse from the bosom. 祁远天心中默默算了下,一咬牙从怀中摸出了钱袋。 „Inside roughly also 32 silver and 42 gold, as well as 110 copper coin, my also has the Great Zhen salary official note not to lead, 52 silver, the total price possible 92 gold also to miss a little, but will not be many, if you want, at this moment along with me goes to the recent book officer place together, that side should also be able to exchange!” “里头约莫还有十二两白银和四两黄金,以及百十个铜钱,我这还有大贞的俸禄官票没领,有五十两白银,总价可能九两金子还差那么一点,但不会太多,你若愿意,此刻随我一起去最近的书官处,那边应该也能兑换！” Zhang Lu one stood, received Qi Yuantian purse to grasp toward, is feeling the touch of inside gold and silver copper coin, was takes out a gold ingot to nip ruthlessly, even more was also excited. 张率一下就站了起来,接过了祁远天的钱袋往里抓了一把,感受着里头金银铜钱的触感,更是取出一个金锭狠狠咬了一下,心情也越发激动。 „You may not probably renege on a promise! I meant, decided! Quits work, we walk now!” “你可不许反悔！呃,我是说,就这么定了！收摊收摊,咱现在就走！” These Great Zhen scholars compare the credit, moreover now heavy purse in hand. 这些个大贞的读书人还是比较有信用的,而且现在沉甸甸的钱袋子就在手中呢。 Qi Yuantian and on the Zhang Lu two faces brings excitedly, together to the place that the book officer assumes, actually is also the original yamen, has followed closely in two people of hearts of Zhang Lu slightly to have the disturbance, after Qi Yuantian appears does not dare to depend too nearly, but knows they entered the yamen. 祁远天和张率两人脸上都带着兴奋,一起去往书官坐镇的地方,其实也就是原来的衙门,一直盯梢张率的两人心中略有忐忑,在祁远天出现之后就不敢靠得太近,但还是知道他们进了衙门。 „What to do? They went in!” „Wait said again that is the Great Zhen student, presents one's credentials in the army mostly, cannot stir up......” “怎么办？他们进去了！”“等等再说,那是大贞的书生,多半在军中挂职,惹不起……” Qi Yuantian this/Ben is in the army the person, after showing the number and route plate moves unimpeded, traded silver very smoothly, yamen storehouse position, after examining official note authenticity, the book relatives of government officials from gave Qi Yuantian five 12 silver ingots, must know that Qi Yuantian may can be the book officer immediate superior. 祁远天本就是军中之人,出示腰牌之后畅行无阻,也十分顺利地换到了银子,衙门库房位置,在检验了官票真伪之后,书官亲自将五个十两银锭交给祁远天,要知道祁远天可算得上是书官顶头上司了。 „Mr. Qi, your silver.” “祁先生,你的银子。” „Good, many thanks.” “好,多谢。” Qi Yuantian had/left the storehouse gate, one side silver that will then not have warmed up directly gives anxious waiting Zhang Lu, the latter received silver to blossom happily. 祁远天谢了一句就出了库门,然后直接将还没焐热的银子递给一边急切等待的张率,后者接过银子乐开了花。 „Hahahaha, then could not die!” “哈哈哈哈,这下死不了了！” „Un? Zhang Lu, do you sell the character to save a life?” “嗯？张率,你卖字是为了救命？” Qi Yuantian launches „luck” character to look at the same time, asked the sentence curiously, mentioned also strangely, this paper did not wrinkle at this moment. 祁远天一边展开“福”字看,好奇地问了句,说来也怪,这纸张此刻一点也不皱了。 „Yeah, gambling messes things up, thinks the luck at games of chance good sign technique to be good, wants should the wrap/sets inadequately, said me to cheat, but also was in 120 great debts, yeah, then raised money, they should be able to put me......” “哎,赌博误事啊,自以为手气好牌技好,不成想被设了套,说我出老千,还欠下了百两巨债,哎,这下筹到钱了,他们应该能放了我……” „What? Does the design harm you?” “什么？设计害你？” Qi Yuantian brow selects, looks seriously to Zhang Lu. 祁远天眉头一挑,严肃地看向张率。 „Does your word take seriously? You truly do not have thousand, truly is they harms you?” “你此言当真？你确实没有出千,确实是他们害你？” Zhang Lu had a scare, how nearby student one probably became ominous. 张率被吓了一跳,怎么边上这书生一下好像变凶了。 „I, are the truth...... I learns the horse drop shortly , is also the local few civilian, can be inescapable the monk unable to be inescapable the temple, where dares to bet the work place to have thousand, this not court death?” “我,句句是实话啊……我才学会马吊牌没多久呢,又是本地的升斗小民,跑得了和尚跑不了庙,哪敢在赌坊出千,这不找死吗？” Qi Yuantian nods. 祁远天点了点头。 „The principle, snort/hum, dares to disobey my Great Zhen penal code, this gambling work place is extremely also wild, simply court death!” “说得在理,哼,胆敢违我大贞律例,这赌坊也太过猖狂,简直找死！” Was worrying that could not find sets up the prestige to draw in the popular sentiment in sea Pyongsong the way, at present this is delivers simply, such anger said one, suddenly thought of anything. 正愁找不到在海平城一带立威又收拢民心的方式,眼前这简直是送上门的,这么怒言一句,忽然又想到什么。 „Right stretch/open brother, in my purse...... , a two article copper coin have special significance to me, is, anxiously was just buying the character that the elder presents as a gift, for a while is excited not to take, you look to facilitate......” “呃对了张兄,我那钱袋里……还,还有两个一文铜钱对我意义非凡,是长辈所赠的,刚刚急着买字,一时激动没拿出来,你看方不方便……” „Hi, two writing money, spoke what modesty, Mr. Qi looks.” “嗨,两文钱而已,说什么客气话,祁先生自己找吧。” Zhang Lu direct natural opens the purse. 张率直接大方将钱袋打开。 Qi Yuantian is overjoyed, hurries to turn to look, saw that two special copper coin, will take. 祁远天大喜过望,赶紧翻找起来,一眼就看到了那两枚特殊的铜钱,将之取了出来。 „These two, good, was all right!” “就这两枚,好了好了,没事了！” Qi Yuantian attains these two, rubbed in the hand „luck” character, felt that „luck” some character pines almost fall, tightened tightly, but the copper coin in hand was loose. 祁远天才拿到这两枚,也就是蹭了手中的“福”字一下,感觉“福”字有些松差点掉,就紧了紧,但手中的铜钱却松了。 Hū...... shouts...... 呼……呼…… Cold wind has blown, the copper coin in hand must fall, Qi Yuantian subconscious both hands grasped, held the copper coin, in the hand is clamping the lucky character actually fell, and was blown by the wind. 一阵冷风刮过,手中的铜钱要掉,祁远天下意识双手去抓,抓住了铜钱,手上夹着的福字却掉了,并且被风吹了起来。 Hū.................. 呼……呜……呜…… The cold wind increases suddenly, the lucky character not only has not fallen to the ground, instead rises with the wind. 寒风忽然变大,福字非但没有落地,反而随风升高。 „My character!
