Nightwatcher

At the end of November, the coldest temperature in Kyoto should be below zero. This is what Xu Qi'an got up in the morning and saw a thin layer of ice forming in the water tank in the yard. Based on this, he judged it.

The Dafeng Dynasty dominated the central plains of Kyushu and claimed to be orthodox. The climate of the capital should belong to the temperate continental monsoon climate.

In this climate area, if there is no heating in winter, it will be very difficult.

"In this day and age, it's only natural and natural for bones to freeze to death in winter." Xu Qi'an sighed inwardly.

Some regret that their mathematics, physics and chemistry are not good enough to carry out farming activities in this era of backward infrastructure and material scarcity.

In that way, it will benefit the people very well.

The sun was hanging warmly in the sky, and the beautiful girl was holding her five-year-old sister, wandering in the downtown street with great interest, looking around with her eyes like autumn water, and a slight smile hung on the corner of her delicate mouth.

Today, my younger sister is wearing a light blue robe, with entwined flower tendrils in full bloom on her cuffs and skirt.

The loose cuffs fluttered, giving her a little more fairy air.

Xu Qi'an will inevitably think of the beauties in ancient costumes in his previous life, and then compare them in his heart. The female servants in this era tend to be conservative, not as coquettish as the beauties in ancient costumes in his previous life.

"I suddenly thought of a way to make money. Can I improve my clothes so that women's clothes are more beautiful and attractive?" Xu Qi'an had an idea.

In an instant, many epoch-making women's clothing flashed through his mind: hollow, black silk, suspenders

Stop, stop, I will be dragged to the Meridian Gate and beheaded!

The rumbling carriages, the peddlers carrying goods, the passers-by in a hurry, and the row upon row of shops constitute a vivid picture of the ancient market.

After a month of getting along, Xu Lingyue's perception of her cousin has changed a lot. Not as divided as it used to be.

In the past, because of his aunt, the original owner didn't like the other two younger brothers and sisters except Uncle Xiao's little Douding.

At first Xu Lingyue could call her "Big Brother" but after being left out many times, she just nodded when she met her.

Now the relationship has improved a lot, but it is still a little rusty. The beautiful and beautiful elder sister led the younger sister to walk beside Xu Qi'an by two positions.

Xiao Douding was attracted by all kinds of things on the street, tried to break away from her sister several times, but was held firmly.

"Candied haws, candied haws," Xiao Douding pointed at a peddler on the street, and shouted crisply.

"You don't want your teeth anymore?" the older sister reprimanded and dragged her forward.

The Xu family encountered a catastrophe, and their money was exhausted. The past month has been quite difficult, and Xu Lingyue has no copper money to buy candied haws for her younger sister.

Xu Qi'an walked behind, looking at the younger sisters, mainly the eldest sister, who was tall and slender, revealing the youthfulness and slimness of a girl.

The back is like a new willow bud, maybe not as plump as a mature woman, but the youthful and lively charm is unique to girls of this age.

"Big Brother, Big Brother" Xiao Douding was anxious, pouted his buttocks, and plowed the ground with his feet to resist the pulling of his sister.

Xu Lingyue bit her lip with an anxious and annoyed expression.

"Brother didn't bring any silver, but he will soon." Xu Qi'an signaled the young girl to be calm, and while speaking, he stepped on a hard object, and when he looked down, it was a piece of dull silver.

He leaned over to pick it up, weighed it, and it really was a penny.

In the past month, he picked up a penny too often.

Xu Lingyue's eyes widened.

Got silver? !

Today, the money for listening to music in Goulan has time to calculate. He hasn't gone to Goulan for two days because he didn't find any money.

Xu Qi'an was a little happy, held the broken silver, and greeted the shopkeeper, "Give me three bunches of candied haws."

"Okay," the dark-skinned salesman took off three strings with a smile on his face: "Six copper coins."

Unable to find the broken silver, the peddler selling candied haws ran to the nearby shop and broke open. He kept six pieces for himself, and retrieved Xu Qi'an's 94 copper plates, which he strung together with string.

Dafeng's monetary system, one tael of silver = eight coins = 1000 Wen, gold is a luxury, not in the monetary system. Poor people may not have access to gold for a lifetime.

Xu Qi'an took the copper coins and candied haws, took a bunch of candied haws in his mouth, and then handed the two bunches of candied haws to the two younger sisters.

Xu Lingyue took it reservedly, and said softly, "Thank you, brother."

She took a bite, enjoying the sweetness in her mouth, her big eyes bent into crescents, which could best hit the softness in the straight man's heart.

Xu Qi'an nodded, and looked at Xiao Douding again, she was already chewing.

"Big brother, is your candied haws sweet?" Xu Lingyin asked vaguely with her cheeks puffed up.

"You want to eat." Xu Qi'an broke the little girl's thoughts.

"Ah? Brother, how did you know?" Xu Lingyin was taken aback. She didn't expect that her thoughts would be known by her elder brother. The elder brother is really amazing.

Xu Qi'an let out a 'huh', "If you eat too much candied haws, worms will grow in your mouth."

"What kind of insects will grow?" Xiao Douding's small face showed vigilance.

Xu Qi'an thought about it for a while, and described it to her: "It's the kind of white, fat, greasy bug."

He had just finished speaking when he saw his younger sister swallowed.

Xu Dalang cupped his hands towards her, offering candied haws with both hands.

Xu Qi'an led his two younger sisters along the road, the bustling scenery of the capital flashed in his eyes, and he didn't feel very happy.

I just found silver again

This unscientific!

He was born in a police academy, and he is extremely sensitive to such unexplainable details.

"Could it be related to my time travel?"

Xu Qi'an clearly remembered that before he crossed over, he didn't touch antiques or be patted on the head by his grandpa.

"This is my gold finger? But what's the matter with a penny a day? It happens to be the money for listening to music in Goulan. So, it's God's will that I spend in Goulan every day?"

"Let's find a way to break through to Qi training first. For now, no matter what your health is, it's always good to go out and collect money."

"I'll upgrade first, and then observe to see if there will be changes in the future. Moreover, I don't know where the ceiling of the force value in this world is. In the future, when I become stronger, I may be able to figure out the reason for the shit luck."

Xu Qi'an was wary of weird shit luck, if it was a system, he would gladly accept it, because it was within his understanding.

There is a brothel on this street called "Guiyue Tower", which is a third-class brothel.

Thanks to the precepts and deeds of Wang Butou and others, Xu Qi'an learned enough brothel knowledge, which greatly enriched his personal cultural heritage.

The suffixes of the brothels can determine its specifications, and the suffixes of first- and second-class brothels are mainly "court", "guan" and "ge".

Third- and fourth-class brothels are mostly named after "class", "lou" and "store" to make a point!

It was not yet noon, and the girls in the brothel opened for business ahead of time. A few beautiful girls in red and green, leaning against the beauties on the second floor, looked at the passers-by with a smile.

Seeing the one he likes (the one in silk and satin), he waved the colored handkerchief and said softly, "Master, come up and have a drink."

Even if it's a third-class brothel, you have to pay two cents for wine to go in. For girls who want to sleep, according to the quality, about five or six cents is enough for the low ones, and one or two taels for the expensive ones. up people.

It's not necessary, the whole family is only a few taels of silver. He looked at the Yingying and Yanyan who were lazily sitting next to the beauties on the second floor, and he felt emotional, "At that time, I was young and thin, riding a horse leaning on a leaning bridge, and the building was full of red sleeves. !"

This is what every man dreams of.

"Big brother's poetry should be used in the right place." Xu Lingyue said lightly.

She savored it silently in her heart, and sighed silently, maybe what Dad said was right, the eldest brother is the seed of reading.

"Brother, the ladies upstairs are so beautiful." Xiao Douding said crisply.

"For business, of course you have to dress decently." Xu Qi'an replied.

"What business?"

"A newspaper seller."

"What?" Xiao Douding's eyes were piercing, he looked up at the brothel, unwilling to leave.

"Brother!" Xu Lingyue stomped her feet and shouted, half ashamed and angry, blaming Xu Qi'an for discussing these things with her younger sister.

Xu Qi'an turned his head and glanced at the girl, why are you so angry, do you understand what I mean?

Leaving the brothel behind, I passed a fish ball shop, and the scent that pervaded Xiao Douding's legs took root.

Xu Lingyue glanced over there a few times, swallowed quietly, after being released from prison, the Xu family lived in poverty, and sometimes they could only eat meat once every three days.

When she happened to be growing up, she had a great need for food, especially meat.

"Wait, brother will buy it for you."

The shop is not big, and there are many people queuing up to buy, Xu Qi'an asked his sisters to wait by the roadside, and squeezed past by himself.

"Brother is so kind." Xiaodouding said crisply while swallowing, and looked at her sister.

Xu Lingyue held her younger sister's little hand, looking at Xu Qi'an's back, the corners of her mouth curled up unconsciously.

Soon, Xu Qi'an bought three servings of fish meatballs and packed them in a butter paper bag. When he returned, he saw four or five subordinates surrounding Xu Lingyue, who didn't touch her and made fun of her wantonly.

The sixteen-year-old Qingli girl was like a trapped elk, protecting herself while trying to break out of the encirclement, but was always forced back by her followers.

She was so anxious that she was about to cry, her face full of fear.

The followers laughed.

On the side, a young man in brocade clothes was riding on the back of a steed, watching this scene like watching a play.

Seeing that her sister was being bullied, Xu Lingyin ran up to Brother Young Master on short legs, threw herself forward with her small body, put her hands back, and then burst into tears with a "wow" and launched a sonic attack.

"Noisy." Young Master subconsciously raised the whip in his hand, and suddenly stopped, with a look of cruelty flashing in his eyes, he pulled the rein, forcing the horse to raise its hooves and trample down towards Xu Lingyin.

Xu Lingyue let out a mournful cry.
