Sit back in the chair again until the bell of the church in the distance rang again. Seven consecutive times, Zhou Mingrui slowly stood up and came to the cabinet to take out the clothes.
Black vest, same-color dress, pants with slightly tight ankles, a half-height top hat, coupled with a touch of book breath, let Zhou Mingrui look at himself in the mirror as if reading english play from the Victorian era.
“I’m not going for an interview, just buying a vegetable and preparing Luck Reversal Ceremony‘s material …” Suddenly, he muttered in a low voice and shook his head and smiled.
Klein remembered the upcoming interview so much that it turned into an instinct for the body. When he was not focused enough, he habitually put on this one by one set of decent clothes.
Exhaled, Zhou Mingrui took off his formal wear and waistcoat, put on a stale brown coat, and changed the top of his head to a felt hat with rounded edges of the same color.
Cleaning himself up, he paced to the side of the high and low bed, lifted the upper cushion, and extended his hand from the inconspicuous hole at the bottom. After a while, he found the mezzanine.
When his right hand retracted, there was a roll of banknotes in his palm, probably 7-8 sheets, dark green and white.
This is all Benson‘s current savings, even including these three days of living expenses, of which only two shilling banknotes, and the rest are all shilling.
In the currency system of Ruen Kingdom, shilling is located on the second floor and is derived from ancient silver coins. One shilling is equal to 12 bronze penny, and has one and five denominations.
At the top of the currency is gold pound, which is also a paper currency, but it is protected by gold and is directly linked. One gold pound is equal to twenty shilling, and there are three face values of one, five, and ten.
Zhou Mingrui unfolds the banknote and smells a very light and light fragrance of special ink.
This is the taste of money.
Maybe it is from the influence of Klein’s memory fragments, perhaps because of its own desire for money that has never changed. At this moment, Zhou Mingrui feels that he is in love with these little guys.
Look, their patterns are so exquisite, making the serious and old-fashioned George III with two moustache look so cute …
Look, the watermark seen through the sun is so tempting, the well-designed anti-counterfeiting label makes it completely different from the fake and fairies!
Appreciating tens of seconds, Zhou Mingrui took out two shilling banknotes, re-rolled the rest, and stuffed it back into the interlayer inside the mat.
Smoothing the cloth near the hole, Zhou Mingrui folds the two simultaneously banknotes out and puts it in the pocket on the left side of the brown coat, separated from a few pennies in the pants pocket.
Doing all this well, he put the key in his right pocket, took the large dark brown paper bag, and quickly walked to the door.
Dada, da, the footsteps went from fast to slow, and finally stopped.
Zhou Mingrui stood by the door, frowning when he frowned.
There are many doubts about the Klein’s suicide incident. If you go out like this, will you encounter any “accidents”?
After a moment of contemplation, Zhou Mingrui returned to the desk, opened the drawer, and took out the revolver that shimmered with brass luster.
This is the only self-defense weapon he can think of, but also a powerful enough weapon!
Although he has never practiced shooting, he can certainly scare people even if he pulls out this pistol!
After rubbing the cold metal runner, the Zhou Mingrui put the pistol into the pocket where the banknotes are located, clenched the banknotes in the palm of your hand, and held the gun tightly with your fingers to hide it perfectly.
A sense of security emerged spontaneously, and Huo Ran of understand a little came up with a worry:
“Will it be fired by mistake?”
Thoughts abound, and Zhou Mingrui quickly found his way. He smoked the take action gun, flicked the runner to the left, turned the bullet nest vacated by “suicide” to the position to be fired, and then snapped together.
In this way, even if the fire escapes, it is just an “empty bomb”!
Re-plug the pistol, and the left hand of Zhou Mingrui is just inserted into the pocket like that, no longer take it out.
He pressed the hat with his right hand, opened the door, and kuāng dāng came out.
The corridors during the day are still dim, and the sunlight at the end of the windows is quite limited. Zhou Mingrui quickly walked down the stairs and left the apartment to feel the splendor and warmth.
Although it is close to July, it is midsummer, but Thengen is located in the north of Ruen Kingdom. It has unique climatic characteristics. The highest temperature in a year is less than 30 degrees Celsius on the earth, and it is cooler in the morning. In the Klein’s memory, where low-income people live, even if they have sewers, similar scenes are not uncommon, because there are many people because of life.
“Come here, delicious pan-fried meat fish!”
“Hot and fresh Du Oyster soup, drink a bowl in the morning, all day long!”
“Fresh fish from the port only costs 5p!”
“Muffin and eel soup with ginger beer!”
“Conch, Conch, Conch!”
“Vegetables just collected outside the city are cheap and fresh!”
……
Mobile street sellers selling vegetables, fruits, and cooked food shouted loudly, greeting passers-by who were in a hurry, some of them would stop, compare and buy carefully, others waved impatiently because The work has not yet landed.
Zhou Mingrui smelled the stinking and scented air, holding the gun grip firmly in his left hand, squeezing the banknotes tightly, holding the round-edged felt hat in his right hand, bending slightly, and bowing his head through this noisy street.
There are thieves where there are many people, especially in this neighborhood, there are many semi-unemployed poor people and hungry children driven by people.
On the way, when the density of the surrounding people returned to normal, Zhou Mingrui straightened back again, raised his head, and looked at the street.
There is a wandering accordionist playing, the melody is sometimes melodious, sometimes warm.
Beside him, there are a lot of ragged children who are sallow because of malnutrition.
They listen to music, follow the beat, twist their bodies instinctively, dance their own dance, their faces are full of joy, just like they are a little prince, a little Angel.
A woman with a numb expression passed by with a dirty skirt and dull skin.
Her eyes were dull and dull. Only when she looked at the group of children, a little light flashed through, and she seemed to see herself thirty years ago.
Zhou Mingrui passed her, turned to another street, and stopped in front of “Slim Bakery“.
The owner of the bread room is a 70-year-old grandmother called Wendy Slim. Her hair is all gray and her face is always full of gentle smiles. Since Klein has memory, she is selling bread and pastries here.
Well, the Thengen cake and lemon cake baked by herself are very delicious … Zhou Mingrui swallowed and smiled:
“Mrs. Slim, 8-pound rye bread.”
“Oh, Klein, Benson, haven’t come back yet?” Wendy asked with a smile.
“There are still a few days.” Zhou Mingrui replied vaguely.
Wendy sighed while holding rye bread:
“He is really a hardworking good guy, and he will have a good wife.”
Speaking of which, she raised her lips and smiled slightly mischievously:
“Okay, now you have graduated. Our Khoy University history department graduate ~ well, you will make money soon. You should not live in an apartment like this, at least you have to have your own bathroom.
“Mrs. Slim, you really look 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 of Thengen University, then the whole family will indeed go directly to the well-off!
In his memory fragments, he even dreamed of renting a single-family house in the suburbs, with 5-6 rooms upstairs, two washrooms, a large balcony, two rooms downstairs, a dining room, a living room, A kitchen, a bathroom, an underground storage room.
This is not an extravagant expectation. Even the instructor during Thengen University can have a weekly salary of 2gold pound. After the regularization, it is 3gold pound10shilling. You know, Klein’s brother Benson has worked for many years and the weekly salary is only 1 pound. 1 pound or just a little bit early, and the rent of such a single house ranges from 19shilling to 1 pound 18shilling.
“This is the difference between monthly income 3-4 thousand and monthly income 10,000 4-5 …” Zhou Mingrui murmured secretly.
However, the premise of all this is to pass the Thengen University or Beckland University interview.
As for the other path, people with no background can not be recommended to become public officials, while those who study history, the employment scope is even narrower, and there is not much demand for private consultants of nobility or bankers, industrial tycoons.
Considering that the knowledge mastered by Klein has also become “fragmented”, it is not complete enough, and many incomplete, Zhou Mingrui‘s expectations of Mrs. Slim are full of embarrassment and guilty conscience.
“No, I have always been so young.” Wendy replied humorously.
In the speaking room, she packed the weighed sixteen rye bread into the dark brown large paper bag that comes with Zhou Mingrui, and spread her right hand way:
“9p.”
The weight of each rye bread is about 0.5 pounds, and deviations are inevitable.
“9 pence, didn’t you want 11 pence two days ago?” Zhou Mingrui asked subconsciously.
Last month it was 15p.
“You want to thank the abolition of Grain Bill and those who marched.” Wendy smiled with his hands spread out.
Zhou Mingrui nodded, but Klein is somewhat incomplete with memory. I only remember that the core of Grain Bill is to protect the price of domestic agricultural products. Before the price rises to a certain level, it will not import from South Fenpot, Masic, Lunburg and other countries Food grains.
Why would anyone march against it?
Not much to say, Zhou Mingrui was afraid to bring out the revolver, and could only take out the banknotes carefully, took out one of them, and handed it to Mrs. Slim.
Retrieving the three bronze pennys. After stuffing them into the pants pocket, he carried the bread paper bag and went to the “lettuce and meat” market across the street, trying to stew the lamb with tender peas that his sister told me.
There is a municipal plaza where Iron Cross Street and Narcissus Flower Street meet. At this time, a lot of tents have been set up, and weird and funny Clown are distributing leaflets around.
“Tomorrow evening, the circus performance?” Zhou Mingrui glanced at the leaflet in the hands of others and whispered the approximate content.
Melissa must be very fond of it. I do n’t know how to collect tickets? The thought flashed and Zhou Mingrui moved closer.
He was waiting to ask one of the red and yellow Clown, and suddenly a hoarse female voice came from his side:
“Do you want divination?”
Unconsciously, she turned around and saw Zhou Mingrui standing in front of a low tent with a woman wearing a pointed hat and a black dress.
She has red and yellow paint on her face, and pupils is gray and blue.
“No.” Zhou Mingrui shook his head and replied, how could he have free money to go to divination.
The woman smiled and said:
“My tarot divination is accurate.”
“tarot …” Zhou Mingrui froze.
This pronunciation is very similar to tarot card on earth!
Earth’s tarot card is a type of fortune telling poker, but there are more “graphic cards” with symbols.
Wait … He Huo Ran remembered the origin of this world tarot divination.
It is not derived from the seven-digit orthodox God, nor the ancient legacy, but was invented by the Russell Gustav of the then Republic of Intis Consulate more than 170 years ago.
The Mr. Mister Russell invented the steam engine, improved the sailing boat, overturned the rule of Kingdom of Intis, and was recognized by “God of Craftsmanship” church’s as the first Consulate in the new republic.
Later, he went to the South to fight for the North, and included Lunburg and other countries into protection, let the Ruen Kingdom, Fenpot, Fusac Empire and other northern continent powers bow down one after another, and then changed the republic to an empire again, calling himself “Great Emperor Caesar“.
It was during the Mister Russell reign that “God of Craftsmanship” church obtained the first public order from God since “fifth era” and changed the name “God of Craftsmanship” to “God of Steam and Mechanics“.
Mister Russell also invented tarot divination, and laid out the composition of current playing cards and play style, there are several types of Zhou Mingrui familiar, such as upgrade, fight the landlord, Texas hold ’em, Gwent ……
In addition, he sent the fleet to find the channel to southern continent in the storm and turbulence, and opened era of colonization.
Unfortunately, after he was old, he suffered betrayal and was assassinated by Eternal Blazing Sun church, former royal clan of the Intis Sauron family, and other nobles in fifth era1198, and fell to White Maple Palace.
This … remembering these common sense, Zhou Mingrui suddenly had a toothache.
isn’t this a senior transmigrator?
Thinking about this, Zhou Mingrui has the heart to see what tarot card looks like here, so he nodded to the woman wearing a pointed hat and painted face:
“If not, uh, the price is reasonable, I will try it.”
The woman smiled suddenly:
“Sir, you are the first person to come to divination today, free of charge.”
PS: The second is to recommend tickets ~
