Chapter 6 Horse Disaster
After earning his first pot of gold, Li Xin began to look for places to sell cotton coats in the capital.
There were cotton coats in this era. When he first entered the capital, he saw pedestrians wearing cotton coats everywhere on Desheng Street, and occasionally some wealthy families wearing fur goods, which shows that it was similar to Li Xin's world.
After waking up from a coma, he knew that he had come to a completely different world.
First of all, the dynasty he is in is called Jin. Although Li Xin is not particularly proficient in history, he finally knows a little bit. There are several Jins in Chinese history, such as Jin State in the Spring and Autumn Period, and Sima Jin who usurped the Cao family.
According to the memory of the unlucky child, the Jin family in this world was not Sima, but Ji. Although the Jin family in the Spring and Autumn Period was also Ji, Li Xin could be sure that this world was definitely not the Spring and Autumn Period.
Because he saw the paper.
A lot of paper, and even the animal charcoal handed to him by Deyi Lou Jiuniang was wrapped in a piece of coarse paper.
Therefore, this is a world that is completely different from the previous life. Li Xin cannot gain the ability to be foresighted. If it weren't for this world, he would have used Chinese characters and spoken Chinese, and with this Qinhuai River, he would even doubt whether he was still on the earth.
With a sweet little mouth, Li Xin asked for directions and successfully found a cotton store, bought a pair of cotton shoes and a slightly thicker quilt. Because of the cold weather, the price of the cotton store was much more expensive than in previous years. These things cost a total of 700 to 800 yuan, so the money I just earned was spent. At this time, it was already afternoon.
After spending a few cents and eating a bowl of noodles on the roadside, Li Xin was about to leave the city and return to Beishan. Just as he was walking on Desheng Street, he shouted loudly at him in a thick voice: "Boy, get out of the way!"
Li Xin looked back and saw a group of dozens of people riding on high-headed horses, galloping freely on Desheng Street. The one who was shouting at him was a bearded man who was paving the way for the horses behind him. Before Li Xin could react, he was dragged to the side of the road by a pedestrian beside him. Then these extremely fast horses rushed past Li Xin. At this time, Li Xin was carrying a bedding and a pair of cotton shoes behind him. Although others were fine, when he turned around, the things on his back were knocked away by the maroon horse, and the bedding and cotton shoes were all over the floor.
Those who rode horses were all young men and girls, and the one riding a macaque horse was a young man. The horse was obviously not good at equestrianism. After hitting Li Xin, his macaque horse was frightened and stopped.
Although Li Xin's body was not hit, it was also affected by the impact force and he fell to the ground. After a long time, he barely got up from the ground.
At this time, the young people riding on the horse also jumped down one by one. Each of these people was either wearing silk or wearing furs, obviously either rich or noble. They surrounded the maroon horse and asked, "Ye... Master, aren't you hurt?"
Li Xin fell to the ground, and some joints on his body were scratched. After gritting his teeth and enduring it for a long time, the pain slowly sootheed a little. He looked up at the young man who bumped into him, and saw that Mr. Ye, who was riding a maroon horse, had a fair face. Although he was wearing tight men's clothes, he did not have an Adam's apple. He could almost tell at a glance that he was dressed as a man.
This young master Ye, who dressed as a man, obviously didn't ride a horse very much on weekdays. At this time, he was shocked. He patted his chest and smiled at the young people around him: "Everyone, I have nothing to do, I'm just afraid of delaying the hunting, so I rode faster, and seemed to have met someone."
Hearing her words, everyone focused on Li Xin's head. Li Xin was already dressed quite shabby. At this time, he was hit and fell to the ground. He was completely disheveled, and there was even a trace of blood on his face, looking extremely embarrassed.
Among the young people, a young man who seemed to be the oldest looked at Li Xin, then turned around and smiled at Mr. Ye and said, "I can still get up. I guess I didn't meet him. In the past few days, His Majesty will be hunting in Beishan. We are going to take the exam for the school. You all go to Beishan to get familiar with the terrain first. Don't delay the hunting. Brother Yu is here to clean up."
This person obviously has a lot of prestige in their circle. When these young people, who were either rich or noble, immediately turned over and ran towards the north mountain outside the city.
After the group of people finished walking, the young man in white walked to Li Xin, took out a piece of gold from his waist, reached out and handed it to Li Xin, and smiled and said, "This little brother, my friend was riding a horse too fast just now. I accidentally ran into you. Seeing that you had some things on you, they were all knocked apart. This piece of gold can be exchanged for four or five jin of money in the city's money house. If you take it, just treat it as a compensation for yours and treat the little brother by the way."
Li Xin's arm was worn out at this time, and his entire right hand was in a state of paralysis. After a while, his right hand could barely move. After he could move, he first touched his arms. When he touched the piece of animal charcoal given to him by Jiu Niang was still there, Li Xin breathed a sigh of relief.
This animal charcoal will be returned to Deyilou in the future. If it is broken, Li Xin will not be able to pay for the copycat for Deyilou for a year.
After confirming that the beast charcoal was still there, Li Xin looked up at the young man in white in front of him. The young man in white looked about twenty years old and extremely young. He was wearing a pure white fur coat that seemed to be fox fur. He looked not only elegant, but also quite elegant.
Although he spoke very politely, his tone was a little despised. However, the rich and noble children usually speak like this, and Li Xin was not surprised. Moreover, at this time, he did not have the capital to oppose these "second-generation officials", so he reached out and took the gold from the hand of the young master in white, and lowered his head slightly: "Thank you, young master."
When he can bow his head, he will bow his head. After all, he has just come to this world and still has to live in the capital.
Seeing the young man very tactful, the young man showed a satisfied smile on his face: "Little brother, go and treat the injury. If the money is not enough, you can come to Pingnan Hou Mansion to find me. I am Li Chun, the legitimate son of Pingnan Hou Mansion. Just report my name at the door of the Hou Mansion."
Pingnan Hou Mansion...Li Chun.
Li Xin's whole body trembled slightly.
He accepted the memory of the unlucky child in full. According to his mother, his identity should be the son of Li Shen, the Marquis of Pingnan. However, his scumbag father was unreliable and left him and his mother in Yongzhou, regardless of it.
Thinking of this, Li Xin looked up at Li Chun.
In other words, the guy in front of him with nostrils facing him should be his own...brother?
A sudden burst of anger in Li Xin's heart.
On the night when he was sleeping, Li Xin saw the memory of the unlucky child. Although the tragic events in his memory were not personal experiences, they were enough to make Li Xin feel disgusted with the Marquis of Pingnan.
At least, Li Xin had experienced the bone-broken coldness in that dilapidated temple.
He stepped forward two steps, walked to Li Chun, returned the gold, and whispered: "It turned out to be the son of the Marquis of Pingnan. The Marquis of Pingnan is famous. Xiaomin has always been well-known. Xiaomin was just touched while walking and was not injured. Since he was the son of the Marquis of Pingnan, Xiaomin dared not accept the money."
When Li Xin said this, he lowered his head, so no one saw his cold eyes.
That day, when Li Xin came to Pingnan Hou Mansion, Li Chun, the son of the Li family, was not at home, so he did not recognize the young man in front of him.
A playful smile appeared on Li Chun's face. He reached out to pinch the gold back and smiled indifferently: "Since you are not injured, then forget about this money. I have to leave the city, so I will leave first."
No one would let go of money. In Li Chun's eyes, the poor young man in front of him just wanted more. Li Chun, who thought he had seen through everything, turned around, turned over and ran towards the East City Gate.
Li Xin endured the pain on his body, bent over and picked up the bedding that he had been knocked away and the cotton shoes, rubbed the mud stained on it with his sleeve, and then limped towards the small wooden house in Beishan.
