Chapter 80 This thing is too much punishment
As soon as the villagers said this, not only Xie Zhen was stunned, but several guards nearby also came over curiously.
The Xie family knows a lot about leather.
The Duke's mansion has been rich and prosperous for hundreds of years, but he has never seen any fine leather.
However, this time and that time.
When the Duke's house was ransacked, all the valuables were swept away by Qiu Suan and his men. The good materials stored in the warehouse were also put into the treasury. Now they are walking on the road, and there is really no one. Leather.
After we leave the customs, it will be windy, snowy and cold. It would be great if we could have a piece of leather to keep out the cold.
Xie Zhen's heart moved, "We have to see how the material is first. If it is really high-quality..." She thought for a while, took off a heavy silver bracelet from her wrist, and held it up to The other party looked, "How about I exchange this silver bracelet with you?"
The villager looked simple and taciturn, but his eyes were fixed on the bracelet in Xie Zhen's hand for a while, and when he saw that There were a few small gems scattered on the wide bracelet, and his eyes lit up.
"You wait."
After saying that, he turned around and said something unknown to the tall and thin villager behind him. After that, he walked quickly towards the village.
Xie Zhen looked at his back in the distance and turned to look at something else. Xie Wuying behind him rolled his eyes and walked up to talk to the tall and thin villager.
"Nao Nuo, do you know what kind of leather the elder brother mentioned just now?"
The tall and thin villager just looked at him and didn't answer.
Xie Wuying didn't get the answer, she scratched her nose with her fingers and walked back to Xie Zhen, whispering: "Second sister, don't tell them anything when asking them. It's mysterious. It can't be a gangster." "You know what?"
Xie Wuying said: "It's just something that came from the wrong way."
Xie Zhen understood, she looked at the tall and thin villager, "It doesn't matter whether he came from the right way or not, we all I have become a refugee, and I don’t know what day I will report to the Lord of Hell. What’s so scary? If they dare to sell it, I will trade it.”
Xie Zhen glanced at him, "You guys should take a good look at the material when it comes later."
"Have you been looking for a long time and others are trying to steal it from us?"
"Stealing it?" Xie Zhen raised his head He flicked his wrist and said, "That villager is a good judge of goods. This thing looks inconspicuous, but if you exchange it for money, you can buy him dozens of pieces of leather."
"Then aren't we too much? Loss."
Xie Zhen didn't care, and said, "Don't think that way" while looking at the things in other people's hands."
A bunch of dried vegetables happened to come into Xie Zhen's field of vision. A piece of broken silver was exchanged for the bundle of dried vegetables and stuffed into the guard's hands. Someone next to him cursed angrily, and the Xie family guard stepped forward to protect Xie Zhen inside.
Xie Zhen glanced at the other party and turned his head contemptuously to explain to Xie Wuying.
Every day in the team, I make rumors and make noises about the Xie family, so I rob them!
Xie's family was outnumbered, and the man with a sinister face cursed and pushed away the prisoner who was negotiating with the villagers next to him.
“Go away, I haven’t chosen yet, it’s your turn!”
Xie Wuying reminded the guards in a deep voice: "Keep an eye on that rogue."
"Don't worry, Master Wuying." The guards said.
Xie Zhen took him to the other side and continued: "Money is just one of the means to achieve things. The value of silver does not depend on the money itself, but on what you want to use it for and in what situation. , No matter what, the value of a copper coin changes, you have to treat it as a living thing." Xie Wuying is not very old. Although he is not as wealthy as the direct descendants of the Xie family in Beijing, he is still in his hometown in Huaiyang. The conditions among the people of the same clan are not bad, and they have not suffered much from birth to adulthood. Apart from crying and urinating every day while practicing kung fu since childhood, the rest of the time was spent climbing trees and going down rivers with the brothers of the same clan, which was a lot of hard work.
The grandparents at home love him, and his parents do not restrict him, so he has developed an optimistic temperament.
Without such a temper, I would not have dragged my good brother Xie Wenjie to follow Mrs. Xie and the others to fight against the officers and soldiers on the day of the house raid.
The Duke's Mansion is so big, they are not the only two children of the same race living in the Mansion.
There is no shortage of money when he is young, so Xie Wuying does not have a deep concept of money. His mother is in charge of the family, so when he has no money, he just asks his parents for it.
No one told him these detailed things.
But Xie Wuying was smart, and Xie Zhen opened his mouth to explain to him, and he immediately realized that the second sister was teaching him.
Xie Jiarongguang's generation is all related to the capital. Now they are in ruins and exile. Survival is the first priority. Xie Wuying didn't think too much about it, but Xie Wenjie mentioned to him privately that sometimes he encountered mysterious things on the road. Brother will explain some principles to him in detail.
Unexpectedly, the second sister treated him in the same way.
Anyway, the ingredients haven’t been picked up yet, so Xie Zhen doesn’t mind saying a few more words.
“We, the Xie family, have been taught by our families for many years that we should not be blinded by money, wealth, or lose our heart. You have experienced when a house was raided, and you should also be able to understand that the Duke’s mansion is no bigger than a village. Can it be bigger than the palace? People in the palace value the Xie family, and the Xie family will reward them. If they don't like the Xie family, they will copy you. But in this case, the people inside have to be wary of the Xie family. It has been planned for many years. As the old saying goes, only those who are thieves every day can never guard against thieves every day. "
" Money is on the road, but it is definitely not the way it was used when the Duke's mansion was still prosperous. Xie Zhen raised his eyes and saw a figure coming from a distance, and picked a few more items, "You came to Beijing from the south and have never been outside the customs. I have heard that the roads outside the customs are dangerous and the weather is cold. You said this bracelet can help us." Can you save your life by carrying the wind and snow?”
“Of course not,” Xie Wuying answered happily.
Xie Zhen smiled slightly and said: "But it can help us change a piece of wind-resistant leather in this village. This is its value and role at this moment."
"People always have to survive first before they have anything else."
Xie Wuying smiled, "Second sister is right."
Xie Zhen also smiled and glanced at him lovingly, Seeing the color of the material in the other person's hand, her eyes lit up.
I heard Xie Wuying whisper from the side: "Second sister, if I can stand up in the future, I will definitely go back to the capital to vent my anger for you!" He smiled and nodded in response.
The villager who wanted to sell leather picked up half of it, threw it over his shoulder, and put it on the ground when Xie Zhen approached.
"Just this piece of leather, take a look at it."
Xie Zhen lowered his head, and a piece of green-gray long-fur leather appeared in front of his eyes.
She was a little surprised, "Is this... a wolf skin?"
"It's a wolf skin. I got it from outside the customs last winter." The villagers answered one by one.
A wolf skin appeared in front of everyone's eyes, and the surroundings became silent for a moment.
Many prisoners were fine before, but when they saw the wolf skin and looked up at the villagers, their eyes and expressions changed.
Xie Wuying reacted quickly and picked up the wolf skin and spread it on both arms for Xie Zhen to inspect.
Although Xie Zhen was touching the fur with her hands, she had already thought in her heart that she wanted this material!
A gust of fragrant wind blew by, and no one noticed that Tu Hua was right next to him.
