Chapter Eleven Yun Niang

Zhou Ping took the backpack a little at a loss. The heavy weight in his hand made him a little at a loss. He had been thinking about saving enough travel expenses to escape to the south, but he didn't expect it to be so easy to get it. After a while, he thanked Xue Liangchen: "Thank you, Mrs.!"

"Don't thank me!" Xue Liangchen smiled and said, "You have heard what my father said just now. You are already my husband. I remember that the daughter of Chen's Blacksmith's family is just right for you in a good manner and has a good temperament. If you think you can, you will go to propose marriage in a few days and invite me to have a wedding banquet to be serious!"

"Yes, yes!" Zhou Ping nodded hurriedly. He looked at Xue Liangchen's departure back, but he had no travel expenses in his heart to escape the disaster. Did he just use the money to escape the south and leave this family under the golden horse's hooves?

Zhou Ping was in a complicated mood and walked towards his residence with a backpack. As soon as he left the yard, he happened to see a familiar figure standing under the tree in front of his house. It was Yunniang, the daughter of Chen's Blacksmith's family that Xue Liangchen mentioned just now.

"Yunniang, it's so late, what are you doing here?" Zhou Ping asked in confusion when he saw this.

Maybe because he was born in a blacksmith family, Yunniang is a well-proportioned and tall girl with a little dark skin, but her appearance is a fine and graceful eyebrows and eyes. When she looked closely, she was quite handsome. Yunniang's eyes swept over the backpack on Zhou Ping's hand and stretched out her right hand and said, "A Ping, the backpack in your hand is the reward given to you by your father-in-law, take it over!"

"No," Zhou Ping nodded instinctively, then he reacted. He shrank his right hand and put his backpack behind him and asked, "Yunniang, what do you mean? That's the reward between my father-in-law and me. Why do you want to take it?"

Yunniang smiled slightly: "Aping, you are so generous. How can you save money? Your father-in-law and you spend money in a few days. Is it a waste to put it in your hand?"

Zhou Ping was shocked when he heard this. It turned out that when he had just passed by, he came from a modern society with extremely abundant material resources to an agricultural society with extremely poor material resources like the Northern Song Dynasty. He naturally had various discomforts. Even if he traded a few rare items in his hand for a hundred-liter free money, he bought wine, meat, cakes and cakes to fill his stomach. In the eyes of the surrounding villagers, this was naturally a big-handed and dilapidated style.

"It's better to keep it for you. There's a place to come when you need it urgently." Speaking of this, Yun Niang took a step forward and snatched the backpack from A Ping. Zhou Ping then reacted and was about to step forward to grab it, but Yun Niang had already put the backpack behind her back and smiled and said, "What, are you afraid that I will swallow your reward?"

Seeing Yunniang's smile, her eyes fluttered, Zhou Ping couldn't help but turn red, and said with a wry smile: "It's not that you're afraid that you will swallow it, but since I get the reward, I have to leave some money to invite everyone to a bar!"

Yun Niang's eyes rolled and she smiled and said, "That's right, I guess those sloppy guys have already received the news to come to you!" As she spoke, she had already opened her backpack and wanted to get some scattered copper coins for Zhou Ping, revealing a string of new copper coins inside. She was shocked and almost threw the purse in her hand to the ground.

"Why are there so many? How much does the father-in-law reward you?"

"Fifty taels!" Zhou Ping replied angrily. He looked at the shining copper coins and thought that his plan to run away seemed to be broken in the hands of this woman.

"So much!" Yunniang opened her mouth in surprise: "What did you do? My father-in-law actually rewarded you with so much money!" No wonder Yunniang was so surprised. Taking the Prime Minister and Privy Councilor of the East and West Government in the Northern Song Dynasty as an example, her salary was only 300 guan a month, and also spring. Each winter clothes had twenty pieces of silk, thirty pieces of silk, and 100 taels of winter. For a Tianke like Zhou Ping, fifty guan was simply an astronomical figure.

"Yunniang, Aping is already my wardrobe!" At this time, a voice suddenly came from behind Zhou Ping. Zhou Ping turned around and saw that it was Xue Liangchen. He looked at Yun Niang with a smile: "Dad not only gave him the reward, but also gave Aping the fields and houses in the east of the village to Aping, so that he could find a wife to start a family as soon as possible. Yun Niang, you are not yet a family, what do you think Aping?"

"Bah! Who wants to marry him, a slut!" Yunniang's face was already flushed, she spat and turned around and ran away.

Xue Liangchen looked at Yunniang's back as she left, turned around and smiled, "Aping, Yunniang is not bad, her figure and appearance, and the girl is counted in several nearby villages, and she is just right for you."

Zhou Ping was stunned and couldn't help but hesitate in his heart: "Do you really want to marry her? What should I do if you run south?" In a daze, he heard Xue Liangchen laughing and said, "Men are old and women are old and marry. What's wrong with this? If you are tender, I will tell you to kiss you tomorrow. I have no relatives, and I should go on a trip to your home."

At this time, a small cloth bag was thrown from the outer door and fell on the ground. Zhou Ping picked up the cloth bag and saw that it was a brocade handkerchief with a string of copper coins inside, which was about a hundred pieces of paper. There was a piece of wintersweet embroidered on the brocade handkerchief, which should have been used by a woman. He looked up and saw a slim figure standing not far outside the door, which was vaguely Yunniang.

Xue Liangchen, who was standing beside him, looked at the brocade handkerchief on the ground, then looked at Yunniang not far away, and didn't know what was going on, and smiled and said, "So that's it! So that's it! It's just that I'm so troublesome!"

"My husband, please listen to me!" Zhou Ping was about to explain, but Xue Liangchen was not willing to listen. He smiled and patted the other party on the shoulder and said, "Okay, Aping, you should do it yourself, don't let the girl down!" After that, he left straight, leaving only Zhou Ping in the yard.

"The situation is not what you imagined!" Zhou Ping muttered a few words and looked outside the yard. The place where Yunniang was standing was already empty. It seemed that she had left. Zhou Ping looked at the no one around, sighed and returned to the house, leaned his head on the bed, stared at the black roof with his eyes, and recalled his experience just now. From time to time, Yunniang's usual voice, appearance and smile flashed in front of her, and suddenly sighed in a low voice: "It's really a dilemma to stay or leave!"

Bang bang!

At this time, two light knocks from the door outside, pulling Zhou Ping back to reality from contemplation. He sat up from the bed and asked, "Who is outside?"

"The old monk is very kind, and there is nothing to do late at night. I wonder if Tan Yue has time to talk to the old monk for a few gossips!" A thick male voice came from outside the house, which was the heroic monk just now.

"It's that strange monk. What's the matter with him when he came to him so late?" Zhou Ping thought for a moment, then jumped out of the bed. He opened the door and smiled and said, "The Zen Master is invited to come in. The villain's residence is very sloppy, which makes the Zen Master suffer."

"I am a man outside the ground. In my opinion, the sludge jade steps are just ordinary!" Zhishan walked into the house, lifted up the monk's robe and sat down directly on a wooden pier that was a bench, and smiled and said, "If the old monk did not see the wrong person, what is the difficult thing for Tan Yue to decide now?"

Zhou Ping was stunned when he heard this, but he could not have imagined that the monk was so sharp. He was about to deny it, but he happened to see two gazes on the other party, as clear as water, as if nothing in the world could avoid this pair of wisdom eyes. Zhou Ping couldn't help but move and nodded slightly and said, "Yes, the Zen master has indeed wisdom eyes!"

"Haha!" Zhishan smiled slightly, but did not ask Zhou Ping's thoughts: "Tan Yue, I only said half of it when I was looking at you just now. Do you want to finish listening to the remaining half now?"

"It's time to get to the point!" Zhou Ping's heart skipped a beat. He knew that the monk in front of him had definitely had a plan to visit him, but he didn't know how much he knew about him. However, he, a monk from the late Northern Song Dynasty, wouldn't know such an outrageous thing about time travel. Thinking of this, Zhou Ping squeezed out a smile on his face and said, "Zen Master, please speak, listen with polite!"

"I just said that the wealth of the Xue brothers comes from you. Is that the truth? But next to it, your future is in chaos, but it is a lie!" Zhishan said here, paused for a moment before lowering his voice: "If I read it right, your future will be below one person and above ten thousand people!" After Zhishan finished speaking, he stopped talking and stared at Zhou Ping's eyes quietly.

"Haha!" A burst of laughter broke the silence in the room. Zhou Ping patted his thighs, and tears burst out from his eyes: "Below one person, above ten thousand people. Isn't that the husband of the current dynasty? Zen master, I'm already twenty-six or seven, and I'm afraid it's too late to read immediately. Are you joking?"

"Zhou Tanyue, the will of heaven is mysterious and cannot be guessed by human power!" Zhishan smiled slightly: "The world has been peaceful for a hundred years. According to my monk, the world is probably going to change. If you want to be rich, you may not just bury your head in the Six Sutras."

"This thief has some tricks of ghosts!" Zhou Ping was secretly surprised. If anyone in the world knew the best about what would happen on this land in the future, Zhou Ping dared to say second, but no one dared to say first. After all, the Song Dynasty in the eighth year of Zhenghe was still in peace, and no matter how you look at it, you can't tell that the entire Central Plains will become a battlefield in a few years.

"Zen Master, be careful!" Zhou Ping pretended to be nervous and scared, looked at no one around and whispered: "How can you say such words randomly? Don't implicate me!"

"Haha!" Zhishan suddenly grabbed Zhou Ping's right wrist and stared at Zhou Ping's eyes and said, "Zhou Tanyue is an extraordinary person, so I naturally would not treat him as an ordinary person."

Zhou Ping suddenly pulled his right hand, but the most kind big hand was like an iron plier. How could he get rid of it? He had to beg: "Zen Master, I am just a Tianke who is dependent on others. What kind of extraordinary person is? Don't misjudgment from Zen Master!"
