Just as the two nobles were looking at Meng Xia, Meng Xia also looked at these two nobles.

I saw a gentle middle-aged man with a long sword hanging on his waist standing in front of him, with beautiful beards, tied with knots and dressed in a strong outfit, looking like he was in his thirties.

Behind the middle-aged man was an old man.

The old man has gray hair and beards, energetic, and looks very kind-hearted, and has a feeling of an old birthday star.

Seeing the dress of these two noble men, Meng Xia's face was quiet, but she was quite entertaining in her heart.

because.

A noble person generally does not wear such decorative clothes without printing and dyeing!

In this world, the technical level of dyeing cloth is not well developed, and it is also very difficult to obtain pigments.

Therefore, most ordinary civilians wear undyed clothes.

And this kind of clothing usually presents the original color of the cloth material.

Because civilians mostly use "maru" as raw material for their clothes, civilians generally wear gray-brown maroon clothes.

And wealthy families with a certain level of economic standards wear higher fabrics and brighter colors.

But basically it's the same color!

The clothes worn by nobles with higher status are generally very rich in colors and patterns.

As for the pattern, it is usually carefully crafted by the embroiderer.

Therefore, the higher the status, the richer the more you are, and the more colorful the clothes you wear are.

Wearing colorful clothes on his body is like driving a luxury car in his previous life, and the words "I, noble, rich" are clearly written on his face.

That's right!

In this world, money alone is not enough.

Businessmen and nouveau riche cannot wear luxurious clothes such as silk even if they have money.

As for a white dress...that is a filial piety dress!

The clothes worn by the two noble people in front of them were very "simple".

But because of its unique temperament, it still gives people a feeling of being outstanding.

And the information conveyed by these details is also extremely rich.

for example.

These two people are pretending, their actions are very confidential!

Or, they think they are confidential!

Meng Alie pulled Meng Xia and said enthusiastically, "Brother Xia, this is the son of the magistrate of Chuan Dai County, Mr. Zhong Ning and Mr. Zhong!"

Zhong Ning gave a cross-handed salute at the right time and said, "Brother Meng, I come uninvited. If there is any presumptuous thing, please include it more!"

The old man behind Zhong Ning also bowed.

It's really polite!

There is a saying in this world that is called "respecting the wise and inferior scholars". Can Mengxia be considered a "scholar"?

Obviously, it's not!

Meng Xia was not even a martial scholar, and at most he could only be considered a "people".

What's more, Meng Xia did not think that he is now qualified to be brothers and brothers with the son of the county magistrate.

certainly.

As a noble time traveler, Meng Xia believes that he is not inferior to others!

Meng Xia's face did not change much, but she just replied with a greeting.

Meng Xia: "Mr. Zhong is planning to go to the depths of Mahou Mountain to find treasures, and then Uncle A Lie recommends me to be a guide!"

Zhong Ning and the old man behind him looked shaking at the same time.

Meng Xia was careless and said casually, "The two nobles traveled thousands of miles to Shanyang Village, a remote mountain area, and they were wearing so 'simple'. Naturally, they were not for the purpose of traveling around the mountains and rivers... Are there any other options for the possible treasure land near Shanyang Village besides the depths of Macaque Mountain?"

Zhong Ning's eyes were bright and he smiled, "Brother Meng is very proud. Since this is the case, I will be straight to the point. I hope Brother Meng can agree to my unwilling request and serve as the guide!"

Meng Xia smiled and said, "There is a blood-drinking ancestral teaching in Shanyang Village, called 'Don't mess with monkeys'. The most common ones deep in the Macaque Mountain are monkeys... I believe Mr. Zhong wouldn't force me to violate the ancestral teachings!"

Meng Xia's words fell, not only the two nobles, but even Meng Alie couldn't help but change his expression.

Meng Xia either took the opportunity to raise the price or refused it explicitly.

However, Zhong Ning didn't take this small setback seriously.

Zhong Ning: "Brother Meng's ability is famous in Shanyang Village and the nearby Ten Villages and Eight Villages. Under your organization, a road is smooth, and the firewood, charcoal, grain, and medicinal materials in the mountains are sold to Peishui Town. All the ten Villages and Eight Villages and Eight Villages are very convinced of you..."

Zhong Ning stood up and looked around the thatched hut.

"In recent years, Brother Meng has earned quite a lot of money, but you don't buy a property or enjoy it extravagantly. Even the clothes on your body are all maroons... I believe Brother Meng also has great ambitions in his heart!"

Meng Xia reexamined Zhong Ning and smiled, "Young Master Zhong is joking. I'm just a little bit of a fight. That little money doesn't even have a fraction of the horse you ride."

That's right!

This world is so fucking!

In recent years, Mengxia has deceived the villagers to pave bridges and build roads, and organized everyone to help each other, selling medicinal materials, firewood, charcoal and mountain goods from the mountains to Peishui Town.

but.

The money earned is really not even a fraction of a horse!

Zhong Ning: "Just just call me Brother Zhong, Mr. Zhong is too disgusting."

Meng Xia smiled and said, "Okay, Mr. Zhong."

Zhong Ning was stunned, then his face turned as usual, "We are seeking wealth and honor in danger. Since Brother Meng has great ambitions, why not bet with me?"

Meng Xia: "Nine out of ten bets lost, I am still young, and there are still opportunities."

Still young?

As soon as these words were said, Zhong Ning and Meng Alie's expressions changed at the same time, and some loneliness inevitably appeared in their eyes.

Capturing these micro-expressions, Meng Xia immediately corresponded to the story that Meng Alie village leader once told him.

This Young Master Zhong Ning should be the young master Meng Alie followed back then!

In other words, this young master is just like Meng Alie, and his actual age is very...young!

I just don’t know how many years Zhong Ning’s life was taken away by the demon fox.

Thinking of this, Meng Xia suddenly understood why a son of a county magistrate, such as Zhong Ning, had to go deep into the Mahou Mountain to fight for his life.

The poor are tired of having two meals day and night, but the nobles also have the troubles of the nobles.

I believe that Zhong Ning's status is always challenged by brothers and clan brothers!

In this world without contraceptive means, what humans lack the least is cubs.

Not to mention wealthy families, even poor families, their cubs were born one after another.

The only shortcoming is... the death rate is too high!

I believe Zhong Ning is now facing the dilemma of being "abandoned and retrained"!

Zhong Ning: "If Brother Meng is willing to be my guide, I will not only recommend Brother Meng to the Martial Arts Academy, but also pay 1,000 taels of silver as a reward!"

Meng Xia nodded and praised, "No, it's enough to buy a good horse. Mr. Zhong really respects me!"

Zhong Ning: "..."

After counting breaths.

Zhong Ning said sincerely, "Brother Meng, we are not secretly talking. The Martial Arts Academy quota is 3,000 taels of silver, plus a master martial arts "Hundred Battle Swords", which is the highest reward I can pay!"

"Hundred Battle Knife"?

When he heard that Zhong Ning took out a hundred battle swords as a reward, even Meng Alie couldn't help but be surprised.

The Bai Zhan Dao is a martial arts masterpiece. Once a village like Shanyang Village is obtained, the Meng family in Shanyang Village will have the basis for their rise.

After several years of accumulation, there is no hope for several martial scholars to emerge from the village.

More importantly, Zhong Ning is not able to take out the Hundred Battle Swords at will.

Approval is required in the family according to the system!

This move is equivalent to indirect recognition that Shanyang Village is an external force of Chuan Dai Zhong's family and is protected by Chuan Dai Zhong's family.

Agree quickly, agree quickly!

At this moment, Meng Alie was so excited that he went crazy.

Meng Xia: "I feel Mr. Zhong's sincerity, but...sorry!"

Zhong Ning was a little angry, but his good education made him look elegant.

"Why?"

Meng Xia said seriously, "Not talking about the danger deep in the Macaque Mountain, I am afraid I will be silenced later!"
