Re-sit back to the chair, until the bells of the church in the distance are ringing again, for seven consecutive times, Zhou Mingrui slowly stood up and came to the cabinet to take out the clothes.
The black vest, the same color dress, the slightly tight pants, a half-height hat, and a touch of book scent, let Zhou Mingrui look at himself in the mirror, as if watching the British drama telling the Victorian story.
"I didn't go to the interview, just buy a dish and prepare the material for the transfer ceremony..." Suddenly, he muttered and shook his head and laughed.
Klein was so eager to hang up the upcoming interview, which turned into a physical instinct. When his concentration was not concentrated enough, he was habitually wearing the only decent dress.
Taking a breath, Zhou Mingrui took off his formal attire, vest, and put on a brown-brown old coat, and the top of his head was changed to a felt hat of the same color.
Packing himself up, he paced to the height of the bed, lifted the upper cushion, and stretched his hand from the inconspicuous hole at the bottom, and found the mezzanine.
When his right hand was retracted, there was already one more banknote in the palm, about seven or eight, and the color was dark green.
This is Benson's current savings, and even includes the three-day living expenses, which only have two five-year-old banknotes, the rest are a soler.
In the currency system of the Kingdom of Lun, Süller is on the second floor, derived from the ancient silver coins. One Sule is equal to twelve copper pennies, with one and five denominations.
At the top of the currency is the gold pound, which also belongs to the banknotes, but it is guaranteed by gold and is directly linked. One gold pound is equal to twenty sores, and the three denominations are one, five and ten.
Zhou Mingrui unfolded the banknote and smelled a very light and very special special ink.
This is the taste of money.
Perhaps it is from the memory fragmentation of Klein, perhaps because of the hunger that money has never changed. At this moment, Zhou Mingrui feels that he falls in love with these little guys.
Oh, their patterns are so beautiful that George III, who has two mustaches and a serious old-fashioned look, looks so cute...
Hey, the watermark seen through the sun is so enticing, the well-designed anti-counterfeit label makes it completely different from the fake enchanting goods!
After enjoying it for a few tens of seconds, Zhou Mingrui pulled out two sheets of one Sule's banknotes, and then re-rolled the rest and stuffed them back into the interlayer inside the mat.
To smooth the cloth around the hole, Zhou Mingrui folded out the two banknotes and placed them in the pocket on the left side of the brown-yellow coat, separated from the pennies in the trouser pocket.
To do all this, he took the key into the right pocket, took a dark brown large paper bag, and walked quickly to the door.
Hey, hey, the footsteps went from fast to slow and eventually stopped.
Zhou Mingrui was at the door, and the brow did not know when it had wrinkled.
There are many doubts about Klein’s suicide. If he goes out like this, will he encounter any “accidents”?
After a moment of contemplation, Zhou Mingrui returned to the desk, opened the drawer, and took out the flashing brass luster.
This is the only self-defense weapon he can think of and a powerful weapon!
Although he has never practiced shooting, it is sure to scare people out of this pistol!
Capricorned the cold metal wheel, Zhou Mingrui put the pistol into the pocket where the banknote is located, palms the banknotes tightly, and the fingers hold the guns tightly, perfectly hidden.
A sense of security arises, and he knows a little about it. He has a worry:
“Can you accidentally hit the hair?”
Thoughts came to an end, Zhou Mingrui quickly found a way, he took out a pistol, swayed the wheel to the left, and turned the vacant nest that was vacated by "suicide" to the position to be hit, and then collapsed.
In this way, even if the fire is gone, it is just a "empty bomb"!
Re-plugging the pistol, Zhou Mingrui's left hand was inserted in his pocket and no longer came out.
He pressed the hat with his right hand, opened the door and slammed it out.
The corridors during the day are still dim, and the sunlight that the windows can penetrate at the end is quite limited. Zhou Mingrui quickly steps down the stairs and leaves the apartment to feel the splendor and warmth.
At this time, although it is near July, it belongs to midsummer, but Tingen is located in the north of the Kingdom of Lun. It has a unique climatic feature. The highest temperature in a year is less than 30 degrees Celsius, and it is cool in the morning, and there are some places on the street. In the memory of Klein, where low-income people live, even if they have sewers, similar scenes are never rare, because there are many people because of life.
"Come and come, delicious fried fish!"
“The hot and fresh cuckoo soup, drink a bowl in the morning, and have a whole spirit!”
"Fresh fish from the port, as long as 5 pence!"
"Muffins, squid soup with **** beer!"
"Conch, Conch, Conch!"
“The vegetables just collected from the farms outside the city are cheap and fresh!”
......
The street vendors selling vegetables, selling fruits, and selling cooked food shouted loudly and greeted the road people who were in a hurry. Some of them would stop, compare purchases carefully, and some would wave with impatience, because today’s work is not yet Landing.
Zhou Mingrui smelled the stench and the smell of the air. The left hand held the gun firmly, tightened the banknotes, and the right hand held the round felt hat, bent slightly, and bowed down the busy street.
There are thieves in places where there are many people, especially in this neighborhood, there are many poor people who are unemployed for temporary work and hungry children driven by people.
Along the way, when the density of the surrounding population returned to normal, Zhou Mingrui regained his back and raised his head to look at the streets.
There was a stray accordion musician playing there, and the melody was melodious and sometimes warm.
Beside him, surrounded by a lot of children dressed in sputum, looking sallow because of malnutrition.
They listened to music, followed the beats, twisted their bodies according to their instincts, danced their own dances, and their faces were full of happiness, just like being a little prince and a little angel.
A numb woman passed by, the skirt was dirty and the skin was dull.
Her eyes were dull and sluggish. Only when she looked at the group of children, only a slight glimmer of light flashed, and she seemed to see herself thirty years ago.
Zhou Mingrui surpassed her and turned to another street, stopping in front of the "Sling Bakery".
The owner of the bakery was a 70-year-old grandmother named Wendy Sling. Her hair was all gray and her face was always a gentle smile. Since Klein had memories, she sold bread and pastries here.
Well, her own baking cake and lemon cake are very delicious... Zhou Mingrui swallowed and smiled:
"Mrs. Sling, 8 pounds of rye bread."
"Oh, Little Klein, Benson, haven't you come back yet?" Wendy asked with a smile.
"There are still a few days." Zhou Mingrui vaguely replied.
Wendy sighed while holding the rye bread:
"He is such a diligent good guy, there will be a good wife."
Having said that, her mouth rose and she smiled slightly and naughtyly:
"Now, you have graduated, our graduates of the history department of Hoy University~ Well, you will soon be able to make money. You should not live in an apartment like this, at least you have your own bathroom. ”
"Mrs. Sling, you are really like a young and lively lady today." Zhou Mingrui can only respond with a smile.
If Klein can successfully pass the interview and become a lecturer at the University of Tingen, then the whole family will indeed go straight to a well-off!
In his memory fragments, he even fantasized about renting a set of suburban houses, five or six rooms upstairs, two bathrooms, a large balcony, two rooms downstairs, a dining room, a living room, and a kitchen. , a washroom, an underground storage room.
This is not a luxury. Even the instructor of the University of Tingen can have 2 gold pounds for the weekly salary. After the turn, it is 3 gold pounds and 10 solers. You know, Kline’s brother, Benson, has worked for several years and has a weekly salary. Only 1 pound 10 Sule, the average worker in the factory is even less than 1 pound or just getting started, and the rent of a single-family house ranges from 19 Sule to 1 pound and 18 sul.
"This is the difference between the monthly income of three or four thousand and the monthly income of one thousand and four five..." Zhou Mingrui secretly swears.
However, the premise of all this is to be able to pass an interview with the University of Tingen or the University of Beckland.
As for other ways, people without backgrounds can't get recommendations and become public officials. The history of employment is narrower. The demand for private consultants of nobility or bankers and industrial tycoons is not too much.
Considering that Klein’s knowledge has also become a “fragment”, it is not complete enough, and many are incomplete. Zhou Mingrui’s expectations for Mrs. Sling are full of guilt and guilty conscience.
"No, I have always been so young." Wendy replied humorously.
During the conversation, she put the 16 pieces of rye bread weighed into the dark brown large paper bag that Zhou Mingrui brought, and spread the right hand:
"9 pence."
Each rye bread weighs about 0.5 pounds, and the deviation is unavoidable.
"9 pence, isn't it 11 pence in the first two days?" Zhou Mingrui asked subconsciously.
Last month, it was 15 pence.
"You want to thank the Abolition of the Grains Act and thank those who marched." Wendy laughed with both hands.
Zhou Mingrui seems to know that he doesn't know how to nod. Klein's memory is somewhat incomplete. He only remembers that the core of the Grain Act is to protect the price of domestic agricultural products. Before the price rises to a certain extent, it does not import from the southern Fenetport. Grains and grains in countries such as Maxi and Rumburg.
Why do some people want to march against it?
Not much to say, Zhou Mingrui was afraid to bring out a revolver. He could only carefully pick up the banknotes, take one of them and hand it to Mrs. Slim.
After retrieving three copper pennies and stuffing them into the trouser pockets, he carried a paper bag filled with bread and went to the “Lettuce and Meat” market, which was separated by a street, and worked hard for his sister's tender pea stewed lamb.
There is a municipal square at the intersection of Iron Cross Street and Narcissus Street. At this time, a lot of tents have been set up, and clowns dressed in eccentric and funny are distributing leaflets.
"Tomorrow, the circus perform?" Zhou Mingrui took a look at the flyers in the hands of others and whispered the contents.
Melissa definitely likes it. I don’t know how to collect tickets. The idea flashed and Zhou Mingrui moved closer.
He was waiting to ask one of the red and yellow clowns, and suddenly there was a hoarse female voice on his side:
"Do you want to divination?"
Looking subconsciously, Zhou Mingrui saw a woman wearing a pointed hat and a black dress in front of a low tent.
Her face was painted with red and yellow oil, and her eyes were gray and blue.
"No." Zhou Mingrui shook his head and replied, how can he have free money to divination?
The woman smiled and said:
"My Tarot divination is very accurate."
"Taro..." Zhou Mingrui suddenly stopped.
This pronunciation is very similar to the Tarot cards on the earth!
The tarot cards of the earth belong to a fortune-telling poker, but there are more "graphic cards" with symbolic symbols.
Wait... He remembered the origin of the world's Tarot divination.
It was not derived from the seven orthodox gods, nor was it left in ancient times, but was invented more than 170 years ago by Russell Gustaf, then the governor of the Republic of Intis.
The Russell invented the steam engine, improved the sailboat, overthrew the rule of the Kingdom of Intis, and was recognized by the “God of Craftsman” church and became the first governor of the New Republic.
Later, he levied a war in the south, and included countries such as Rømburg into protection, letting the northern powers such as the Kingdom of Lun, Fenerbotte, and the Fossack Empire bow their heads, and then changed the Republic to an empire again, calling itself "Caesar the Great". .
It was during Russell’s reign that the “God of Craftsman” church was the first public **** since the “Fifth Age” and changed the name of “God of Craftsman” to “the **** of steam and machinery”.
Russell also invented Tarot Divination and laid out the composition and gameplay of the current cards. There are several types familiar with Zhou Mingrui, such as upgrades, landlords, Texas, Quin...
In addition, he sent the fleet to find a channel to the Southland in the storm and turmoil, which opened the colonial era.
It is a pity that after he was old, he suffered a betrayal. In the 1950s, he was assassinated by the eternal pilgrimage church, the reason of the king of the Sauron family and other nobles, and fell to the White Maple Palace.
This... remembering these common senses, Zhou Mingrui suddenly had a bit of a toothache.
This is not going to be a passer-by?
Thinking of this, Zhou Mingrui had a heart to see what the tarot cards here looked like, so he nodded to the woman with a pointed hat and a face:
"If not, hey, the price is reasonable, I will give it a try."
The woman suddenly smiled:
"Sir, you are the first person to come to divination today, free of charge."
