Chapter 17 Each has his own mind

"The White-Headed Taixuan Sutra, the White-Headed Taixuan Sutra... The White-Headed Taixuan Sutra..."

"Where are you mumbling?"

In the evening, Zixuan, who had just broken up from the downstairs, heard Lan Li keep chanting in the room and asked.

"Nothing, um... I'm just thinking about the mural in the fairy pond."

While speaking, Zi Xuan stuffed oranges into her mouth.

In an instant, Lan Li's face turned bitter.

"Well...so sour."

“Some of them are good to eat.”

After peeling off all the orange skin, Zixuan held the fruit plate, leaned back, and fell into Lan Li's arms.

"Husband, I tell you, the fruits on Xiake Island are very expensive."

"Um?"

"Oranges that cost only two cents in Xiangyang, but when they arrived here, they were sold for one or eighty cents.

I said that the store made money from bad luck, but the store was not happy, and said that it would not sell it to me.

In the end, I asked Xiao Guo to buy it for me..."

Zixuan muttered about the trivial things that happened today, and Lan Li was speechless when she heard it.

"One qian 80 cents?

What is the pricing method?

When will you care about this?"

As he said that, Renli snatched one from her.

In exchange for Zi Xuan's big roll of eyes:

"People are thinking that one tael of silver is ten coins, and one tael of silver is used as a hundred coins.

That one minus 080 cents is 180 cents...

After a while, the price has increased by hundreds of times... This money is really easy to make!"

"What are you thinking?"

Seeing that Zixuan seemed to be in business, Lan Li chuckled at her:

"There is no orange on this Xiake Island.

Want to eat.

You have to transport it from the mainland, which is three days away from Xiake Island, by merchant ship.

The island guarantees that oranges must be fresh after being shipped to Xiake Island.

Taking the current industrial system of the Southern Song Dynasty.

How much loss does it take to travel the sea?

Is it expensive to increase by a hundred times?"

"It's expensive! Xiao Guo and the others are usually reluctant to eat!"

Zixuan stared at her.

Lan Li was speechless when she heard this:

"I'm willing to give up on you or not...

OK, OK.

It's very expensive.

It is estimated that only rich people on this island can afford it.

But then again, it’s great. If it weren’t for the money being idle, who would have spent a hundred times the price to eat these sour oranges?”

Zi Xuan's words diverted her thoughts.

Lan Li's nerves, which had been tense since he came back from the Tianshu Fairy Pool, also relaxed a little.

Existence is inevitable.

Since Xiake Island can form such high prices today, it naturally has its own reasons.

Thinking of this, Renli turned his head.

Seeing Zixuan frowning sorely, she couldn't stop stuffing oranges into her mouth, he asked with more sexual interest:

"What's wrong with you today? I remember you didn't like to eat sourness before?"

"Hmm? Is there?"

Zixuan blinked, lowered her head and looked at the fruit plate in her hand, and said with a look in her eyes:

"I...I...I am, I only realized it was sour after buying it.

It's so expensive, I... can't bear to throw it away..."

Speaking of this, Zixuan nodded with certainty.

"Yes, yes, that's it."

Lanli: "..."

The topic between the two seems to be endless.

After Zixuan wiped out the four sour oranges, the girl suddenly seemed to have thought of something, put the fruit plate next to her, grabbed Lan Li's arm and began to shake:

"Husband, do you know that the young masters on this island only cost ten taels of silver a month!"

"Hmm...hmm? Ten taels?"

Lan Li glared at the sight of the words.

It shouldn't be two cents of silver? Why did it increase fifty times?

"Yes, yes, you think it's rare, right?"

Seeing that Lan Li seemed to understand her words, Zixuan continued with a smile:

"You see, is this good? When we leave, we will take them all away and let them go..."

"You wait for me."

Seeing Zixuan talking nonstop, Lan Li quickly reached out to stop her:

"The one who runs the inn, ten taels of silver a month is already a sky-high price.

Do you know the monthly fee of the waiter in the full moon building that our home opens in Xiangyang?”

"Uh... how much?"

"Two taels and eight cents!"

"So little?"

"It's still a little bit? That's the most paid waiter in Xiangyang, right?"

While speaking, Lan Li looked at Zi Xuan's incredible eyes and couldn't help but reach out and patted her forehead.

"What is the concept of two or eight coins?"

"A box of rouge?"

"Uh...you still use rouge?"

"......Lanley! What do you mean!"

Lanli: "..."

After breathing a long sigh, Lan Li looked desperate on her face:

"Tell me this to you.

In the palace, the low-level concubines of the former emperor Zhao Yi paid about one or two liang to two liang of money every month.

And when it comes to the level of nobles and noble concubines.

Twelve... This metaphor is wrong!

To put it this way, the official constable is a monthly salary of eight cents of silver per month.

When you reach the official ninth rank, you only have one or five cents per month!

With this money, people can live a very comfortable life for the whole family.

In this way, in Tongfu Inn, people earn ten taels of silver a month, do you still think it’s less?”

He Zixuan, who was very fond of his heart, popularized the prices of the Southern Song Dynasty, and Lan Li felt so disappointed.

Should most beautiful women be insulated from mathematics?

That's right! It must be like this!

Otherwise, how could those women not blink their eyes and buy the glass slags in their own stores that cost less than a penny...

What about Renli who is thinking about it.

Zixuan said that she had collapsed after the next sentence.

"Yes, but I've just agreed to Xiao Guo..."

While talking, Zixuan pitifully grabbed Lan Li's neck of clothes.

Lan Li was stunned by her words:

"What did you promise?"

"Promise him and she will take them back to Donghai when we leave, and then give her scholar a job with a monthly salary of more than 100 taels..."

“……”

"Is that okay..."

“……”

"I promised them all."

“…”

"Otherwise, their salary will be deducted from my monthly money?"

"Did you... have any monthly money?"

"Hey? Yes! Why don't you give me money to spend!"

As if she was awakened by Lan Li's words, Zixuan pointed at Lan Li with a sudden enlightenment and said:

"Tell me! How much money have you greedy for me in the past two years?"

God is so greedy for your money!

After hearing Zixuan's words, Lan Li almost laughed:

"To be honest, when you want to spend money, don't you just ask Green Yi to get it? When did I care about your spending money??"

"Yes!"

When Zixuan heard this, her eyes shiny and rolled in Lan Li's arms.

Then.

Without waiting for Lan Li to say anything, she saw her sitting up and running out in a hurry.

"What are you doing?"

"I can't use you, I'll talk to Xiao Guo..."

Lanli: "..."

"My wife...isn't she a fool?"

......

......

Is Zixuan stupid?

They are smart!

Without telling Lan Li about the matter first, she turned around and asked Lan Li, what should she do if she was scolded?

Besides, she really doesn't know how much the 100 taels of silver is.

Isn’t it just the money that the Lan family earns by selling five iron swords?

The little girl is smart...

He spent 200 taels of silver a month to tie up a future master.

Isn't this deal worth it?

Cough cough cough.

After jogging down from the upstairs, seeing Guo Furong waiting for her downstairs, Zixuan smiled and hit her with a smile.

"He agreed!"

"Really?"

"real!"

"Wow! Zixuan Zixuan, I love you so much!"

While talking, Guo Furong, who was excited, wanted to have a hug with Zixuan.

On the other side, Lu Qinghou wanted to speak but stopped.

Um.

Lu Qinghou always felt that it was not good to "deceive" people like this.

Just during the day today, Guo Furong discussed with him that she wanted to take the Lan family's boat back to the Central Plains.

And Guo Furong was thinking about taking the path to Zixuan.

Lu Qinghou knew that Guo Furong had long since wanted to stay on the Knight Island.

When we came here, on the one hand, it was because of Zhang San and Li Si’s invitation, and on the other hand, everyone agreed to come here.

But after arriving at Xiake Island, Guo Furong found that life here was not as good as she thought.

The daily rouge and water powder are easy to say, but after all, the items are small and can always be brought by merchant ships when they come and go.

But other items such as fruit and meat are scarce on Xiake Island.

Not to mention that on this Xiake Island, there is only one city in total.

She doesn't know where to go when she wants to go out for fun on weekdays.

There are also some martial arts masters who have become crazy about martial arts!

Guo Furong can't afford to offend this one, and she can't beat that one.

Living was so frustrating.

For Guo Furong, it is not so much a paradise with strange customs, but rather a prison that is favored by human feelings.

Lu Qinghou can get used to these things.

But after staying for a while, Guo Furong began to find ways to leave.

The merchant ships on the island could pass through, except for the Southern Song navy, there were no ships returning to the Central Plains.

If they want to leave, they will have to wait two years later for the envoys on Xiake Island to go to the Central Plains again.

On the other side, Zixuan and Guo Furong muttered a few words, then talked about some things and turned around and walked to the stairs.

When Lu Qinghou saw Zixuan leaving, he slowly approached Guo Furong:

"My sister Fu, you said you were leaving. Have you thought about it and told the shopkeeper?"

"What do you say, we're already interesting enough, okay?"

Lu Qinghou's face was covered with a rag that wiped the table, and Guo Furong's eyes glared.

Then.

It was like a deflated balloon, and it became wilted:

"I didn't think about it, but I really couldn't stay there anymore!

I miss my father, my mother, my four senior brothers, and my lion head made by my mother..."

As he spoke, Guo Furong's eyes were red.

"I haven't seen them for three years, and I don't know how their health is..."

"Don't cry, don't cry..."

Seeing that Guo Furong was crying as she spoke, Lu Qinghou hurriedly went to coax her.

After coaxing for a long time, I saw that it was useless.

Lu Qinghou gritted his teeth and hit his hand.

"Sister Fu, don't cry. At worst, I'll go and agree with the shopkeeper."

"real?"

In an instant, Guo Furong closed her voice and looked up.

If it weren't for the tears at the corner of her eyes, others would have thought she was pretending...

"Wait, wait, let me think about how I should say..."

"What's the point of thinking about right? Just say that!"

"This is done there..."

"Don't you want to accompany me home? Do you see the beautiful beauties on the street? Just let's get along with me..."

"Where do you want to go..."

The young couple who wanted to leave here started to quarrel.

But they didn't notice that Bai Zhantang and Tong Xiangyu were standing seven or eight meters away.

Hearing the news that the two were leaving.

Tong Xiangyu's face turned pale.

He grabbed Bai Zhantang next to him with both hands, his eyes full of begging.

Seeing this, Bai Zhantang gently made a swearing gesture at her.

Then he pulled her back and hid in a private room.

Take Bai Zhantang to close the door.

Turning around, looking at Tong Xiangyu who was sitting motionless on the table, he also sighed:

"Okay, don't think about those useless things. Only Xiao Guo and Xiu can do it with you so far, it's already interesting."

"What's the point, Zhantang, what do you mean? I'll give them ten taels of silver every month..."

"Don't talk about money, Xiangyu. At that time, Miss Xiao Guo's daughter, could you spend two dollars on Gu Lai as a clerk? Do you think they care about money?"

"Is that a thing?"

As he said this, Tong Xiangyu collapsed.

He lay on the table with his head twitching.

"Wuwuwuwu... I shouldn't have let the scholar get along with her at the beginning. If it were Wushuang here..."

"What's wrong with Wushuang? Wushuang should stay with you on this broken island and suffer?"

"Why are you suffering and tired? Look at the people on the island, don't you think this is a paradise?"

"Is this the same thing?"

"Why is it not the same thing!"

"Tong Xiangyu! Don't make unreasonable trouble with me!"

"I... Bai Zhantang, you..."

Speaking of this, Tong Xiangyu seemed to have figured it out and looked up at Bai Zhantang:

"You, you don't want to stay here anymore, do you?"

Bai Zhantang didn't say anything.

"Okay, I'll say you just stopped me... Woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo my miserable... God, if you..."

"Okay! I didn't say I wanted to leave you alone!"

"Um?"

When Tong Xiangyu heard this, she stopped crying, but just looked at him with a gaze:

"Zhantang..."

"Oh!"

Bai Zhantang was arrogant for a moment, then came to Tong Xiangyu and whispered to her:

"Think about it, wasn't the reason we came to this Xiake Island to take Xiao Bei to avoid it?

Since that's the case.

Now that there is a safer place than Xiake Island, why can't we leave?"

"You mean..."

"That's right, I've found out where I can find out. This young master Lan has a large property in his family. He is also one of the celebrities in Wudang Mountain. He is also a protective person.

As long as we follow us, we will lean on the Wudang Mountain.

Why don’t the Hengshan Sect dare to provoke us again?

By then, we will return to the Central Plains.

If you want to continue opening an inn, I will talk to him.

As a master, I will help him watch the scene, it will be fine, right?"

Bai Zhantang is talking.

Tong Xiangyu is listening.

After Bai Zhantang finished speaking, Tong Xiangyu also made a secret move.

"But Xiaobei..."
