Chapter 199 Ancient Literature (II)
[Before noon, you had a home, but the original owner gambled away the house and sold it, leaving you penniless.]
Chu Yun: ...
The happiness I just had made me feel like a clown.
"Has my luck score dropped in my rating?"
Now publishing ratings
[Host: Chu Yun]
[Vital Strength: B, Intelligence: B, Luck: C, Charm: SSS! Beauty: Max! Overall Rating: S]
Chu Yun's luck value has increased. This time the small world is so difficult and it is not considered unlucky. So what will it be like if he is unlucky?
Chu Yun’s identity this time is the general’s concubine who is kept in his hometown. Yes, it is the honest general who likes the protagonist. However, he has never touched the original owner. The men in the show “The Charmer” can only touch the protagonist even if they are supporting characters.
The original owner was good-looking, sweet-mouthed and good at coaxing people, so the old lady took the original owner in without the general's consent.
The general had no wife in his backyard, not even a connecting room, so the original owner became the second master in the backyard who had a say besides the old lady.
Suddenly, the original owner turned from a sparrow into a phoenix. Her husband didn't come home, and she didn't have to deal with intrigue and jealousy. She lived a happy life.
After the old lady died, he became the sole person in charge of the general's mansion. He began to spend lavishly, buying all kinds of delicacies from land and sea, silks and satins. When one's knowledge is not worthy of wealth, life will go downhill. The original owner hooked up with a steward in the mansion, who took him to a gambling house.
After a few setbacks, they lost everything. But it was not too late. News came from the front line that the general had died in battle, and the former glory of the mansion was gone.
So things started to go downhill. The original owner of the family shop didn't know how to manage it and the business was terrible. In the end, he couldn't even pay his servants. In addition, without the general, the pillar of the family, people left the mansion and dispersed.
The original owner was used to squandering money and was addicted to gambling. Someone even coaxed him into pawning the deed to the general's mansion.
Seeing that he had no place to live, the original owner went to look for his old lover, but was ruthlessly kicked out and wandered aimlessly on the street.
"So if I had come through half a day earlier, I could have stopped the house from being sold, right?"
【……right. 】
Chu Yun was furious. What kind of fate was this for him?!
Chu Yun searched his body thoroughly but couldn't find a single copper coin. Now he couldn't even afford to buy a dusty bun on the roadside!
"I'm hungry..."
Chu Yun raised his eyes to look at the young man who was peeping at the sleeping man in the garment shop, and suddenly he had an idea.
*
"I want to sell my clothes! How much do you think my clothes are worth?"
The young man raised his eyes impatiently and was stunned for a moment:
"What?"
The young man had never seen such a delicate and lovely person in all his years here. The young man in front of him looked at him with his clear glasses, his delicate lips like flowers opening and closing, and the young man blushed.
But he couldn't understand what the handsome young man in front of him was saying. Why couldn't he understand the tones when they were connected together? Was he a barbarian?
Chu Yun asked again and again, but the boy kept spouting obscure and difficult words as if he couldn't speak, and Chu Yun couldn't understand a single word he said.
Is it English?
[People in this dynasty did not speak Mandarin. The pronunciation and rhythm of their language are completely different from Mandarin. You will not understand it.]
Chu Yun didn't expect that when he traveled to ancient times, the most difficult thing was not hunger and heat, but communication, which was the biggest problem that trapped Chu Yun.
"What should we do then?"
Chu Yun saw some writing brushes and ink on the counter. He took a piece of rice paper, dipped it in ink, and started writing and drawing on it.
The young man did not stop him. Pens and ink were extremely valuable. If someone could not write, it would be a complete waste. He watched with distress, afraid that the shopkeeper would scold him.
But he was curious about what this handsome young man would write. He couldn't understand a word he said, so he leaned over to take a look...
——I don’t understand it either.
Chu Yun saw the young man scratching his head and looked a little anxious.
When he saw the bird on his clothes, he drew a simple bird and pointed at his clothes while drawing.
"It's a bird! It's a bird on my clothes!"
After saying this, Chu Yun pointed to the copper coin on the paper:
"Here's money! I'll give you the clothes in exchange for money!"
[He is not deaf. He can't hear you no matter how loud you shout.]
Chu Yun: ...
However, Chu Yun's gestures were still useful. The young man used his intelligence and quick thinking to figure out what the young master wanted.
I'm a little puzzled, why would such a noble young man sell clothes?
A clean-cut young man entered the shop and came out wearing rags.
[Are you going to beg for food?]
001 looked at Chu Yun who was happily counting copper coins with his head down. He looked very good in the gray and patched clothes. On the contrary, such tattered clothes made his skin look whiter than snow. It turned out that fashion sense depends on appearance.
Chu Yun was hungry. Since the original owner was able to sell his house, why didn’t he just sell his nice clothes as well?
[The original owner was very concerned about his appearance, and clothes were a person's image.]
Chu Yun didn't care about that. He was hungry and wanted money and food.
001 felt extremely sad. Poor Chu Yun grabbed the not-so-clean buns he had eaten and wandered around the stalls in the streets and alleys. After eating, he wiped his greasy hands on his body.
this is life.
Chu Yun wandered around until she arrived at the General's Mansion. At this time, the General hadn't met Su Shangqing yet. After escaping death and returning home to find his home gone, he would probably chop himself in half with a knife...
Chu Yun was in Pingyang County, more than 200 kilometers away from the capital. It didn't sound like a long journey, but Chu Yun had to take a horse carriage for four or five days to get here.
The mission has not been released yet, but based on Chu Yun’s previous experience, the mission will definitely start in the capital.
Everything revolves around the protagonist's Shura field. They are all in the capital. Chu Yun is a little worried about how to go there. After all, the two cents he has are only enough to buy a few buns.
When Chu Yun was tired from walking around, he found a shady place to sit on the ground. Next to him was a broken gourd with a big hole in it. Chu Yun liked to pick something with his hands when he was thinking, so he picked the hole.
The sound of a palm tree.
Chu Yun was startled. The gourd ladle in his hand was hit by an unknown object, and the hole became bigger. He took a closer look and found that it was a dry steamed bun.
Who is so uncultured?! They threw trash everywhere without even noticing people were around?!
Chu Yun looked up angrily and met the eyes of the man with a gentle smile in the carriage.
