Chapter 32: One penny can’t kill two masters and servants (Part 2)

At about the same time as yesterday, there was another spring rain of similar size in Chang'an City. The rain hit the thick umbrella of the big black umbrella, making a muffled sound, just like water droplets falling into dust. No drop of rain could seep through the umbrella. The area of ​​the big black umbrella seemed to be large enough to shelter the entire polo team from the wind and rain. But for some reason, Ning Que and Sangsang, who were standing under the black umbrella, still felt that they were being poured out of their hearts and their cold bodies were about to turn into ice sculptures.

"Find a place to hide from the rain." He said in a slight voice, then remembered the strange thing on the street yesterday, and added: "Don't go to Suzaku Street."

So the master and servant walked aimlessly along the green trees by the street for a while, then stood under the quiet eaves of a side street in the north city of Chang'an, put away the black umbrella. Then the two of them were silent for a long time, looking at the dense raindrops in front of them and the splashes not far away in front of their boots, completely speechless.

"My great Tang Empire..." Ning Que said the six words of the great Tang Empire at this time. He was not as confident and proud as usual, but with a little resentment. "... It is really shameful to make money by education. Even if you don't include food and accommodation, can't the charge be cheaper? And if you know that I saved your princess, just call someone to pass on a message? I don't say that I rewarded us with 1,800 taels of silver, and it's not so arrogant at all!"

Compared with the empty talk about the national politics and the noble demeanor, Sangsang was obviously more concerned about specific things. She frowned and looked at the water splashes on the bluestone slab with her little face down. She counted: "It is definitely not possible to stay in an inn in the past month. We don't have that much money. If you insist on taking the academy, then it doesn't make sense even if we go to the dilapidated temple, because we have to spend it every day for less than 200 taels of silver. So our problem now is not how to save money, but how to make money."

"How to make it?" The young man sighed with an umbrella as a stick and said, "This is a problem."

The spring rain drizzled, and the master and servant were hiding from the rain by the street while thinking about their livelihood issues in their worries.

Hunting is naturally not good. Don’t talk about whether you can earn the terrible thirty taels of silver a month by selling prey. The key problem is that there are no hunting places near Chang'an City. Ning Que realized this when he was in Weicheng. The mountains and forests around Chang'an belong to the emperor, and the prey in the mountains are naturally also the emperor. If he plundered the prey in the mountains within two months, he might be punished with a terrible crime of stealing the royal garden.

Sangsang raised his little face and said timidly: "The girl is not good. That night, I looked at the street stalls carefully. The skills in Chang'an City are much better than mine. There are many styles I have never seen, and I can't even understand those acupuncture techniques."

Ning Que looked at the raindrops in front of him and sighed: "It's a pity that there are no horse thieves or mountain bandits around Chang'an City. Otherwise, I could kill a few nests and take advantage of the amount of money. Speaking of which, when I first arrived in Weicheng, I was too young and was too stupid to do the facts. I paid all the money I robbed by the horse thieves, and I didn't know how to keep some private houses. Later, when I understood the main purpose of killing horse thieves, the horse thieves on the side of Shubihu became poor again."

Sangsang blamed in a low voice: "I said you killed too hard, but the horse thieves on the side of Shubihu sent people to stare at Weicheng all day long. As long as you find out that you lead the team into the grassland, they will immediately pack up the gold, silver, and soft materials to escape. How can you get money in this way? As a result, they didn't make any money for a whole year last year."

"I was young at that time and I didn't have much experience."

Ning Que said awkwardly, and suddenly he raised his eyebrows and said, "How about getting involved in a gang? I can't borrow money from Xiao Heizi directly, but I can get involved in a gang through his relationship and then strive to get the rank within ten days to collect the gang?"

"You said that the academy also needs to assess the morality of students. If the academy knows that you are bullying the good, you may be removed from the list directly. At that time, you will not need to make this black money." Sangsang reminded.

Ning Que hated his little maid who always seemed clumsy and lazy when he needed to show his memory, and when he did not need to show his memory, he always acted intelligent and meticulous like a genius child. He said annoyedly: "What do you think you should do? If you want to make money and you can't let the academy know, you can only be a killer!"

"The question is where is the killer organization? I can't meet someone wearing black clothes on Chang'an Street and go up and ask with a shameless face: You are here, I want to know how to go to the most powerful killer organization in our Tang Empire. Please tell me the way?"

Sangsang was not afraid of his old shame and said seriously: "Young master, I know you feel embarrassed, but we have to think of a way to make money, otherwise we might as well go back to Weicheng."

"I said I can't make a personal appearance, and I won't go back even if I die." Ning Que said hatefully.

In Minshan Mountains, Weicheng and the grasslands, no matter how difficult and poor the situation is, he and Sangsang can survive. Now that they have arrived at Chang'an City, which is prosperous, prosperous and prosperous, survival has become a serious problem for them. A penny can stump heroes and heroes, and it also makes the master and servant very troubled.

Ning Que's eyes suddenly lit up and said, "Okay! We sell peeled eggs! No, it should be said to be pineapple eggs!"

Sangsang frowned and repeated, "Cleaned egg?"

He smiled slightly and said, "There is no doubt that the peeled eggs I made are the best in Datang."

Sangsang looked at him and said seriously: "But people in Weicheng don't like to eat, and I don't like to eat either. It's too hard."

Ning Que lowered his smile, looked at the pedestrians in the rain, pretending to be calm and said, "Actually, I'm telling a joke."

Sangsang looked up at his jaw, and after hesitating for a long time, he mustered up the courage and said, "Young Master, there is actually a very simple way to make money, that is, I don't know if you want it or not."

Ning Que turned his head and instantly felt that the little maid's little black face had become unprecedentedly pleasing and beautiful, and said gently: "Now, as long as you can make money, there will be anything you don't want to do."

Sangsang replied: "Young Master, you write so well, let's sell the words."

Ning Que's expression froze, and he looked at her and said seriously: "Sangsang, you have become ugly."

"Hmm?" Sangsang was confused.

Ning Que was angry and taught a lesson: "What is selling words? That's calligraphy! Do you understand calligraphy? How can you sell scholars for sale! I would rather sell this thing than sell it!"

Sangsang shouted angrily: "Young Master, you are not a scholar, you are just a wood chopper. Don't you often say that writing is better than killing people? Since you are willing to make money by killing people, why can't you make money by writing!"

Ning Que retorted weakly with no confidence: "If you say it, it's not called writing, it's called calligraphy."

He lowered his head and looked at his boots that were wet by the rain, and looked at the words he had just written in a black umbrella, knowing that his life was once again defeated by the little maid.
