Chapter 014 Du Fu is very poor

Lu Hu knew it, turned around and took out two golden elves from his bag, put them in front of Du Fu with both hands, and smiled on his face, but Li Zaixing clearly felt the corners of his eyes twitching.

As soon as he saw Lu Hu's expression, Li Zaixing immediately realized: I'll give it too much.

Li Zaixing originally had no money, and now he snatched all the money from Wei Yingwu and others. There were about fourteen or five gold coins like this, and there was also a handful of scattered copper coins. He didn't know how much a gold coins were worth, so it wouldn't be too little. Along the way, he followed Li Mi to eat and drink. When the meal was bad, he would have more than ten cents. When it was good, he could only have wine and meat. These two gold coins should be able to be eaten by Du Fu's family for a while. The first time we met, it was not good to give a copper coins, and even with Li Bai's name, it wouldn't look like it if it was too little. So I just gave two gold coins.

But seeing Lu Hu's toothache, he knew that these two slaughtered gold not only had a lot, but also a lot, so much that even Lu Hu felt a little painful.

However, Li Zaixing didn't feel bad. The money was stolen by him anyway. It was considered to be a good fate for Du Fuhua.

Lu Hu's expression was richer, and Du Fu's expression became richer. He held Jin Ying and almost burst into tears.

"Brother Taibai is really chivalrous and passionate. He is thousands of miles away and he is still thinking of me." Du Fu sniffed and bowed to the southeast: "Thank you, Brother Taibai, Brother Taibai." He turned around and bowed to Li Zaixing: "Thank you... By the way, how can you ask me the name of the surname?"

Li Zaixing couldn't help laughing and thought to himself that this poet was really poor and lost. Now he remembered to ask about my name.

"Li Zaixing, who is close friends with the exiled immortals, is a friend of mine. If Brother Du doesn't give up, just call me a little brother."

"Since Brother Taibai and you are a friend of mine, I will also attach myself to the end of the horse." Du Fu said gratefully: "I wonder how many times my brother is going to do at home?"

Li Zaixing shrugged: "I was raised by my master. I don't know my parents and brothers, and I don't know how much I can do. Now I'm just a bachelor. One of them eats enough, and the whole family won't be hungry."

Du Fu couldn't help laughing, then felt a little rude again. He looked at Li Zaixing awkwardly and said embarrassedly: "My brother wait, wait for me to ask my friend to cook some tea and cook some food to welcome me."

Li Zaixing nodded: "Okay, I'll clean up first, wash my face, and then come to pay my respects to my sister-in-law and talk to Brother Du."

Du Fu agreed repeatedly, Li Zaixing retreated and entered his room. As soon as he met, Lu Hu put away his smile and stood beside him with his hands. Li Zaixing knew it clearly: "Have you given too much?"

"Master, do you know how much a stolen gold is worth?"

"How much is it worth?"

"One stolen gold is ten taels, worth sixty stolen, two stolen gold is one hundred and twenty stolen."

Li Zaixing took a breath of air conditioning: "So much?"

"What do you think?" As soon as Lu Hu said the words, he immediately knew that he had made a mistake. He raised his hand and slapped himself in the face, lowered his head: "Master, the little slave is wrong, please punish him."

Li Zaixing waved his hand and did not argue with him. A stolen gold is worth 60 stakes of copper coins, which surprised him a little. The penny this year is about the same as the one in later generations. It is always 1,000 stakes of 60 stakes of 60 stakes of 120 stakes of gold. One move is 120,000 stakes of 120,000. This gift of meeting is indeed a bit big, no wonder Lu Hu can't bear it.

However, he immediately thought of another question. He snatched 1450 yuan of gold from Wei Yingwu's group of boys. Wouldn't that be nearly one million? Damn, the pocket money is nearly one million, these kids are really rich. It seems that they will have to grab it again next time they meet them.

"How many 120 guan is that?" Li Zaixing asked.

"If the two of us do not live in the temple, but rent a house outside, we will have to rent a house of 500 to 1,000 cents a month, and each person will have two liters of food per day, and 12 dou of grain per month. According to the current price of grain, it will cost 180 cents a year. With some other expenses, we will save some money. Two jin a month is enough. Tellepi has a large appetite, which is about equivalent to ten people, and we also need to feed it. But it only needs feeding and no other expenses. I will add two jin a month. In this way, living in Chang'an, four jin a month is enough. Their family, two or three jin a kids, one child, and no horse, and only a thin donkey. The cost is not too much. Three jin a lot is enough. One hundred and twenty jin a lot is enough for them to live for three years."

After Lu Hu finished calculating the accounts, Li Zaixing then realized how much the two slayings of gold cost, and also knew why Du Fu was so excited that he wanted to thank Li Bai from a distance. Looking at Lu Hu's aggrieved face, he comforted him, "Okay, there are still many more, just give it to me, what's the matter?"

"This time it was an unexpected fortune. The lord has not found a living yet. How can I not save money?"

Li Zaixing blinked: "You don't have to worry about this, I will get the money."

Lu Hu curled his lips and thought to himself that you can get money, and go grab it again.

...

After staying for about half an hour, a young slave like Lu Hu, Duan was ordered to come and invite Li Zaixing to dinner. Li Zaixing was surprised again. Du Fu was so poor that he almost acted as a pants and had a slave. Seeing Li Zaixing so fussed, Lu Hu disagreed and explained that although Du Fu was poor, the Du family was a wealthy family. Du Fu wanted to visit the officialdom, so how could he not even have a follower when traveling? This is Chang'an City, so naturally there are rules of Chang'an City. Anyone who wants to make a name for himself in Chang'an City must follow this rule. There must be a show.

Only then did Li Zaixing realize that Li Mi asked Lu Hu to follow him not only as a guide, but also as simple as holding a horse. Even if he is poor, he still has to have a slave to do chores and cannot do it himself. He does everything himself, which is something that no future talent does.

Li Zaixing sighed at the evil feudal society again and followed this little slave A Duan. Du Fu had already prepared a meal, there was no big fish or meat, just a few bowls of vegetables and a pot of chestnut rice, but his son Du Zongwen was so hungry that he was almost drooling. He looked at Li Zaixing who was walking in the door, hoping that he would sit down and eat soon.

Du Fu looked apologized: "My brother, time is rushed, and I don't have time to sell wine and eat meat, so I can only eat a little bit of food."

Li Zaixing laughed and waved his hand and said, "This is a temple, a place for monks to practice. We should not drink alcohol and eat meat, otherwise the Buddha will be angry, which is not good." He sniffed and said with a little exaggeration: "Is this the rice cooked by my sister-in-law? Although it is simple, it is fragrant and makes people feel very happy at first glance."

Du Fu smiled with a little smug smile: "To be honest, my wife is from the Yang family of the Hong family and is the daughter of the Si Nong Shaoqing. Marrying me is really aggrieved her." He called out to the inside: "Madam, Brother Li is favored by Brother Taibai, not an ordinary person. Today, he will be rescued and will be a neighbor in the future. You can come out and meet him too."

The inner room was silent for a moment, and a young woman with a big belly walked out and bowed to Li Zaixing at the door: "I am Yang, I dare to ask Li Jun'an."

Li Zaixing did not dare to delay, so he quickly got up and returned the gift. He still understood this rule.

"Thank you, my sister-in-law, for asking. My sister-in-law, my wife, is very grateful."

"I'm poor in craftsmanship, please forgive me." Yang nodded with a slight smile and retreated.

Li Zaixing sat down and raised his thumbs up at Du Fu: "Brother Du, your wife is virtuous, it is your blessing. However, being able to marry Brother Du is also your blessing."

"Oh, my good brother has been awarded. I have nothing now and can only live in a Buddhist temple. My wife, children, and food and clothing are not settled. I really feel wronged. How can I talk about any blessings?"

"Otherwise." Li Zaixing shook his head seriously: "Brother Du is late and has written good poems. It is expected that he will be famous in history in the future. My sister-in-law is suffering some hardships now, and she will naturally be rewarded in the future."

Du Fu glanced at Li Zaixing and smiled bitterly: "Thank you, Brother, to encourage me, but I am a little discouraged."

“Why?”

Du Fu picked up his job and gave in a polite way: "Brother, although this Bodhi Temple is not large in scale, it is quite impressive. When you first arrived, I would recommend myself and be a guide. I will take you out to take a look after the meal. How about it?"

Li Zaixing was not sure about this, so he didn't have to ask again, so he had to hold up the rice bowl and start eating. As soon as they saw them moving their chopsticks, Du Zongwen immediately picked up the rice, almost covering his face in the bowl, and threw off his cheek and ate it hard. In a moment, he ate the rice bowl cleanly and licked it.

Du Fu was embarrassed, lowered his face and shouted, "Zongwen, why did Grandpa tell you?"

Du Zongwen raised his face and looked at Du Fu pitifully: "Grandma, I'm hungry."

Du Fu wanted to speak but stopped and sighed. Li Zaixing said smoothly: "Brother Du, it's okay. Children are born from nature, so why should they be too particular? My master also said that practicing Buddhism means practicing this innocence. Eat when you are hungry and sleep when you are sleepy. This is the true nature. Zong Wen, are you full? If you are not full, continue eating, but don't eat too fast. If you are too anxious, you will not be good for your health."

"Thank you uncle." Du Zongwen stood up, held the bowl and ran towards the stove. Li Zaixing saw it and couldn't help feeling sad. Du Fu was famous in history in later generations. Does anyone know that he was so poor, while a playboy like Wei Yingwu could wear a furious horse, and wander around with dozens or millions of dollars, fighting and killing at any time.

I can't bear to read the history carefully.
