The Xu Qian who spoke was only twelve or thirteen years old. Even if a big kid went out to kill someone on the street, it would still be within the scope of the Minors Protection Law. But here, twelve or thirteen years old is not considered too young.
It's the Ming Dynasty, and it's time to get married.
It's a pity that Xu Qian doesn't have a wife yet, and it's not like there are no matchmakers. It turns out that the other party is either Ma Dajiao or Wang Jinlian. Not to mention that Xu Qian doesn't like her, even his father Xu Chang, who looks at him with an angry face, doesn't like her either.
In the words of Xuchang, a daughter-in-law of the old Xu family, no matter how she looks or how well-behaved and gentle her temperament is, must at least have a small amount of family assets. Anyway, she must have a generous dowry.
Xu Chang is such a person who falls in the eyes of money.
At this time, the father and son were looking at each other around a table in the hall, as if they were cross-eyed, looking at each other unconvincingly. Father Xu's expression became even richer, and his eyes were as wide as copper bells.
, his mouth was twisted with anger, Xu Qian absolutely believed that if he held a pen in his hand and put a piece of white paper on the table, he would be able to write the sorrow and indignation of "Man Jiang Hong" eloquently.
of poetry.
However, Father Xu is obviously not a man who plays with swords and pens, but a real rough man. He is holding a ruler in his hand. The ruler is the kind used by officials in the yamen. It is about two feet long, heavy and dark-skinned.
If such a ruler were to hit Xu Qian's head, his head would definitely explode. At this moment, his father was furious. To use Xu Qian's words just now, he would be a fool if he took it seriously.
"You..." Xu Chang gasped and couldn't help but cursed loudly: "You beast!"
Xu Qian did his part: "A little beast, and an old one!"
"..." At this time, Xuchang was speechless. He was angry and angry. He slapped the table with the ruler in his hand, making a snapping sound, and then sat down heavily on the stool.
Xu Qian was secretly happy. It seemed that the beating was avoided. He had been with Xu Chang for a year, and he was very familiar with Xu Chang's temper. The old man got angry easily, and when he got angry, he would shake the world and weep. Xu Qian was here
Under the stick, he has already developed a body of copper skin, iron bones and cunning.
"You..." Xu Chang went to pick up the teapot on the table and pour water to eat, while saying fiercely: "I just ask you, you answer honestly now, have the prescriptions you usually sell on the street ever been in the eunuch's house?
people to buy?”
Xu Qian rolled his eyes. He had just dealt with the old man and was so tired that he was out of breath, but he didn't dare to relax for a moment. He was afraid. The old man was a dog and he might have been treating you the last second.
Wagging his tail, he might show his teeth at the next moment. He looked at Xu Chang warily and said: "Prescriptions...those prescriptions...those prescriptions, I only care about selling them, and I don't care who the buyer is? Does anyone else come to buy the medicines?"
Fang, I also want to ask about their surname, their age, and by the way, do they have any daughters who are waiting to be married?"
Xu Chang was furious and almost violent again. Xu Qian's legs were arched, trying to fight with him at any time. The father and son became fighting cocks again. Xu Chang pointed his finger at Xu Qian and cursed: "Okay, okay, now you still can't do it."
You have a tough mouth. Did you know that your prescription was bought and eaten by the people in the eunuch's house? Now it has killed people. The prince is furious and has already informed the county government. The county magistrate issued a ban on sea arrest.
The clerk wants to arrest you, the murderer. What did I say? Let you live in peace and contentment. In the past, you were just studying at home, and studying was nothing. Although our Xu family cannot obtain fame, at least we can live in peace and contentment. But recently you have changed.
What kind of temper, but he is getting more and more restless, now he is fine, if you cause this lawsuit, let’s see how you end up!"
"No." Xu Qian was stunned for a moment, and saw that Xu Chang was showing signs of violence again. Faced with such a violent maniac, Xu Qian naturally did not dare to be distracted anymore, and said: "Although there is no guarantee that my prescription will be effective,
The disease can be cured, but at least eating a dead person will definitely not work. Something must have gone wrong, or the person himself was suffering from some terminal illness, and there must have been a misunderstanding."
Xu Chang snorted coldly: "What's the use of saying so much? You evil deed! If someone comes to your door, will you care about so many things? Who is the prince? Do you know who he is? Even if no one provokes him, he will still peel him off."
Humans have three layers of skin, and now that he has found a reason, are you still alive?"
Xu Qian said sadly and angrily: "This dead eunuch!"
Although the father and son usually fight and have serious differences, they have the same view of the prince. Xu Chang actually nodded and said: "A castrate without eggs."
After all the scolding, Xu Qian is having a big headache now. He just wants to make money by selling prescriptions. He has never thought about causing any trouble. It is no wonder that the old man is clinging to him today as if he has been given a gun.
In Xu Chang's eyes, his son's temperament has changed drastically over the past year, but Xu Qian knew in his heart that in fact, it was not that his temperament changed, but that the original Xu Qian was replaced by the current Xu Qian. In his previous life,
, he is a keeper of a museum, and he doesn’t know which god or Buddha in the sky he offended. When he woke up, he time-traveled into this Xu Qian’s body. This is why in the eyes of Xu Chang, his child’s temperament changed drastically.
When Xu Qian arrived here, he was full of lofty ideals at first. He always thought that since a man came to this era, he would inevitably have to create some achievements. However, after he got involved, he was dumbfounded.
He is the son of a subordinate official. The laws of the Ming Dynasty stipulate that three generations of subordinate officials are not allowed to obtain honors. However, Xu Qian was a bookworm in the past. It is surprising that he has a hobby of reading. In this world, some people are obsessed with women, some like gambling, and some like
Yinzi, Xu Qian has never seen anyone who loves books as much as his life, but he was such a fool in his previous identity. This guy not only likes reading, but is also said to be quite knowledgeable. He can memorize all the four books and five classics, including classics and history.
So Xu Qian was sad. Although he inherited a lot of knowledge from the original Xu Qian, it was all useless. His identity could not obtain fame and it was meaningless to use it. Since he could not be an official, Xu Qian wanted to make a fortune by himself.
Well, although the status of a merchant in the Ming Dynasty was humble, he still had three wives and four concubines when he had money, so he came up with the idea of selling medicine prescriptions. After all, this business was low-cost and profitable.
When Xu Qian was in a museum in his previous life, he was ordered to restore an original copy of folk remedies for difficult and complicated diseases from the Qing Dynasty. He remembered the contents clearly, so what he did every day was to remember hard, write out those folk remedies, package them and sell them.

…………
Snapped……
While Xu Qian was stunned, he didn't expect the old man to appear silently behind him, giving Xu Qian a violent shudder. Xu Qian felt pain and became angry: "Dad, you sneak attack!"
"Sneak attack?" Xu Chang sneered, lifted up the young Xu Qian, and said fiercely: "You have done such a big thing, shouldn't you be beaten? It's really a curse. I, Xu Chang, have been safe all my life, and I never thought I would give birth to you like this.
s things."
Xu Qian hurriedly asked: "What should we do now?"
Xu Qian played a trick, and now he has no way to escape. Either he will be beaten severely, or he will change the subject, which can at least distract the old man.
Sure enough, Xu Chang fell into the trap. He sighed. After all, he was a direct relative. It was useless to fight. It was better to think about how to solve the problem. He narrowed his eyes slightly and said: "The county magistrate is urging me to take someone, but he is unwilling to do so."
If you cause trouble, you can give an explanation to the prince as soon as possible. So no matter what, you must first find someone to explain to the county magistrate. This matter must be done as soon as possible, you evildoer..."
Halfway through his words, he started to fight again. Unexpectedly, Xu Qian had already sneaked ten feet away while he was talking. Xu Chang could only shake his head, then glared at Xu Qian fiercely and said, "Just stay at home and stay calm."
, Dad still needs to go to the Yamen. I will find a solution for this matter, but you can't do anything else in the past few days, you know? Whether this hurdle can be passed, I can only leave it to fate. "
The old man gave a rare sigh, obviously feeling that the matter was very difficult.
After saying that, Xu Chang raised the ruler and was about to leave. Xu Qian breathed a sigh of relief. The beating was finally avoided. He quickly waved his hand to Xu Chang and said, "Goodbye, dad. Why don't you see him off before he leaves?"
Xu Chang snorted coldly and walked out. After a while, he came back and took out the lock to lock the door of the hall. Of course Xu Qian knew what Xu Chang was going to do, so he quickly shouted: "
Dad...why are you locking the door? I won't go out until I tell you to."
"Can I trust you? Just stay here!" Xu Chang had closed the door, locked Xu Qian in the room, and locked the door. There was a sound of banging on the door, but Xu Chang ignored it and walked away.
.
At this moment, Xu Qian was a little dumbfounded. Once the door was locked, he didn't know when it could be opened.
He could still sit still at first. After all, he knew that he had caused trouble and was determined to keep to himself and be a good citizen.
Unexpectedly, the old man didn't come back until dusk. Xu Qian was hungry. He and the old man depended on each other. There was no woman to look after him at home, so he didn't prepare food early in the morning. He used to go to the street to buy scallion pancakes or cook some rice.
But today there was a fuss about selling medicine, so he didn’t eat breakfast. From early morning to now, Xu Qian has not eaten enough. Now his stomach is growling, and Xu Qian is complaining in his heart. Now is the time for growth.
How could one be hungry at this critical stage? The door was just locked. Xu Qian tried to open the door, but he couldn't open it no matter what.
He was anxious for a moment and his eyes fell on the paper windows in the room.
If it doesn't work, I don't know when the old man will come back, so naturally it's better to fill his stomach first.
Xu Qian couldn't care less, so he went to open the window and climbed out, but found that he had forgotten to bring his money bag, so he had to go back and bring his money bag. In addition to three tile-roofed houses, Xu Qian's house also had a courtyard in front, which made
What Xu Qian felt was tragic was that the old man not only locked the door to the room, but also closed the courtyard door.
It seems that not only do you have to climb through the window, but you also have to climb over the wall.
Fortunately, although he was thin in this life, he was quite strong. After all, he was still a child. It was not difficult to climb over the wall to get into the room. He climbed over the wall. At this time, the sky was getting darker and darker, and people could already see outside the wall.
Not sure, Xu Qian took a deep breath and jumped towards the outer wall.
Boom...
It seems like I bumped into something...
Eh...that's really strange. Did I jump on the leather sofa? Why is the place within reach so smooth and delicate?
Immediately afterwards...
"Which...who dares to attack me?"
Someone yelled in the dark.
Only then did Xu Qian realize that something was not good. Of course, what he jumped on was not a leather sofa, but a person, more accurately, a man. The man was very angry, stumbled up, and cursed. What was even more terrifying was that this guy actually
Carrying the murder weapon, Xu Qian clearly heard someone pull out a weapon with a swish sound in the darkness. The sound of gold and iron rubbing against each other made Xu Qian mutter in his heart. He didn't expect that this person was actually not a good person.
However, Xu Qian has been in the market for a long time, especially hanging around with rough guys like the old man every day, and bluffing is his special skill. Although it is his own fault at this time, he must not show weakness. Sometimes when he conflicts with others, it is to compete with others to get the upper hand.
, who has the louder tone.
Xu Qian rubbed his sore arm, and then shouted: "Who is it? Who hit the young master? Are you blind? Don't you know who the young master of the Xu family is? As long as I open my mouth, all the neighbors here are mine.
Man, when the time comes, you will be asked to stand upright and go out sideways? Do you want to file a lawsuit? Scared, I will be afraid of you. My father is working in the yamen. Have you heard of Xu Bantou of the county government? The yamen has eight characters, so don’t do it if you have reason but no money.
Go in, young master..."
He was spitting and frothing, and he had a bit of Ah Fei's arrogance, and he almost told this person that his father was Li... no, it was Xuchang!
The other party stayed for a moment and was very silent.
Xu Qian thought that the other party was frightened, and quickly said: "Are you scared? That's all, I don't care about you. Who am I, Xu Qian? Who doesn't know about me on this street? I am the one who is known as the loyal and kind man.
Okay, you just bumped into me accidentally, please leave quickly. If we bump into me next time, we won’t be so easy to talk to."
The man in the darkness suddenly asked: "Your name is Xu Qian? Your father's name is Xu Chang?"
Xu Qian couldn't help but wonder, after saying so much, could it be that an acquaintance is here? An acquaintance, so he got closer and said, "So what?"
The man in the darkness was silent for a moment, and then said: "Your father is the supervisor of the county government, but you have nothing to do and often sell prescriptions in the county, right?"
Xu Qian wanted to cry. What happened to selling prescriptions? Selling prescriptions is also a promising career, okay? How can he be called idle? This person obviously has a low level of education.
Xu Qian's attitude turned bad and said, "What do you want?"
"I don't think so." The person in the darkness laughed, and then said: "It's really hard to find a place through iron shoes. It takes no effort to get here. The prince asked me to come to find you. I didn't expect to meet you here. You just follow me."
Well, the prince has invited you."
Xu Qian was startled and turned around to run away, only to find that a bright steel knife had been placed on his neck.
The steel knife was heavy and the blade was as sharp as light, and there was a chill all over his body under the moonlight. Xu Qian did not dare to move. He suddenly realized that he was really unlucky!
"It turns out that he is from the prince, disrespect, disrespect! Sir, I have always respected the prince, that... that... can you be accommodating..." Xu Qian struggled desperately.
The owner of the steel knife sneered, and the laughter looked even more terrifying in the darkness, and said: "I can accommodate you, but the prince may not be able to accommodate me. Boy, you are unlucky. The prince is angry, and you deserve it."
