Sima Xiangru was not moved by Zhuo Wenjun's willingness to follow him to endure hardships at all, and looked at her with a look of admiration and affection, and he was tired of yelling at her, so that she could get away and don't bother him.

But this kind of venting, Sima Xiangru can't do it at all now, the only one he can turn over now is Zhuo Wenjun, he has paid too much on Zhuo Wenjun, if he doesn't get some feedback, then his loss is big, and he can't live at all.

Before, Sima Xiangru calculated Zhuo Wenjun, took out the last money he kept to bribe Zhuo Wenjun's maid, made the initial investment, and then returned to Linqiong County in order to calculate Xia Xiyan, and calculated from Wang Ji that he would invest more than silver money, and therefore completely cut off the relationship with Wang Ji, who often funded him before, he is now really poor and has nothing to make ends meet, if Zhuo Wenjun is forced away, he will not have a chance to find the gold owner again, but may need to go to the street to beg for food so as not to starve to death. Sima Xiangru, who understands these things very well, knows that he can't show his dislike for Zhuo Wenjun now, and force Zhuo Wenjun to run away, he can only coax this stupid woman and let her go back to Zhuo's house first, and then find a way to fund him to survive the current situation where he may starve to death at any time.

"Wenjun, you have to follow me, but I don't have a penny now, we still have to sleep in the wild tonight as before, there is no food, how many days do you think we can live?" Sima Xiangru suppressed the irritability with Zhuo Wenjun in his heart, and began to directly explain their current situation to Zhuo Wenjun, who only had 'love' in his mind and no reality.

"We can"

"Wenjun, don't have illusions about your friends, no one can fund us, even if there is, where we are now, there are no friends who know me, even if I go to ask for food to support you, I can't get because I can't enter X County, we have no money, no travel expenses, no food, and we can't even go back to our hometown in Chengdu!" Sima Xiangru interrupted Zhuo Wenjun and said their current situation little by little, "There is no money, it is difficult to move an inch, and all that awaits us is death, so I advise you to go back to the Zhuo family first, here you can only continue to live if you know the Zhuo family, otherwise you will starve to death with me!" Wenjun, go back, I beg you, I don't want to see the two of us starve to death so miserably, this doesn't remind me all the time, reminds me that I can't even support my wife, my failure as a man, Wenjun, go back, we can only live if you go back"

"Changqing!" Zhuo Wenjun was a little confused by Sima Xiangru's words, but Sima Xiangru kept breaking up the fact that they were poor and would starve to death, and kneaded Zhuo Wenjun little by little, so that Zhuo Wenjun also understood that she was now following Sima Xiangru, and the only thing that greeted the two was starvation.

"Wenjun, you can still go in X County, prove that your father-in-law has not completely given up on you, take advantage of now, follow his wishes, say that we are separated, and then coax him, coax him to be happy, give you some money, you send it to me again, I will take it to Chang'an, there is a fellow villager of mine, I asked him to recommend me to the Son of Heaven, as long as the Son of Heaven can appreciate my literary talent, then I will be able to soar, and then I will come to Zhuo's house to pick you up! At that time, my father-in-law will no longer disagree with us being together! Sima Xiangru didn't dare to speak tactfully and nicely, in order to prevent Zhuo Wenjun, whose thoughts were not on the same line as him, could not understand, so he told Zhuo Wenjun very bluntly that she should first deceive Xia Xiyan of a sum of money, and then use it for him to go to Chang'an to find a way out.

"Changqing, are you going to Chang'an?" Zhuo Wenjun's focus is very strange, he didn't pay attention to Sima Xiangru asking her to cheat money and then come to 'raise' him, only paying attention to Sima Xiangru going to Chang'an.

"Then we don't know when we'll see each other!" Zhuo Wenjun thought of the distance between Chang'an and X County, and cried sadly, but Sima Xiangru saw that Zhuo Wenjun had not said that he wanted to return to Zhuo's house, and with his current plan, he was a little anxious and impatient with Zhuo Wenjun's tears, but he still had to hold back aggrievedly, and then coaxed Zhuo Wenjun and said, "Wenjun, I am reluctant to part with you, but we must be separated in order to have a future, otherwise we will starve to death, and we don't know if we can be together after death." Now only you go back to Zhuo's house first, act according to my plan, and when I have the money to go to Chang'an, and I have won the appreciation of the Son of Heaven, I will marry you when I return to my hometown. Wenjun, for the two of us to be together without worrying about food and clothing in the future, Wenjun, you are now taking advantage of the fact that it is not dark and the city gate is not locked to go back, tomorrow, you are looking for someone to send me some jewelry that can be pawned, I will get through this difficulty first, and then you will plan for me to go to Chang'an."

After Sima Xiangru coaxed Zhuo Wenjun, he told her in detail how to help him in the future, and Zhuo Wenjun listened to Sima Xiangru think about their 'future', so he wrote it down obediently.

***

Xia Xiyan came to inform her when Sima Xiangru took Zhuo Wenjun outside X County.

At that time, Xia Xiyan, who was listening to Zhuo Wenshu playing the piano, was a little leisurely and asked Zhuo Wenshu to take Zhuo Jun, who practiced calligraphy, to continue learning, and she sent a house slave to follow Zhuo Wenjun to prevent her from doing anything to pit the Zhuo family.

moved to X County with the Zhuo family, Xia Xiyan was far away from Zhuo Wenjun and Sima Xiangru, as well as the Zhuo Wangsun who had always loved to calculate her, and she almost forgot her mission to come to this world when she lived a comfortable life, and lived a very leisurely life every day.

However, such days, with the arrival of Sima Xiangru and Zhuo Wenjun, Xia Xiyan knew that it was coming to an end.

"It's time to get busy again!" Xia Xiyan looked at the already hazy sky and sighed.

"The head of the house, the eldest lady is outside the door, saying that she regrets coming home and asking the head of the house to forgive her!" Not long after Xia Xiyan's sigh ended, Zhuo Wenjun came back as Xia Xiyan expected.

"Let her in!" Xia Xiyan opened his mouth and asked Zhuo Wenjun to come in.

When Zhuo Wenjun came in, Xia Xi looked at her expressionlessly, wanting to see what kind of words she wanted to use and what kind of face she wanted to use to explain the reason why she came back.

"Father, my daughter is wrong!" Zhuo Wenjun came in and saw her father, who had always been kind to her and pampered her, looking at her indifferently, a little heartache at the same time, and a little puzzled why he was so angry, but thinking about Sima Xiangru's words, when he saw Xia Xiyan, he knelt down in front of Xia Xiyan and began to beg Xia Xiyan to forgive her.

"Father, it's the daughter who is not filial, the daughter shouldn't leave home, she shouldn't come back without listening to her father's advice, and she shouldn't" Zhuo Wenjun and Xia Xiyan admitted all the mistakes she made after eloping with Xia Xiyan little by little, and at the same time said that she regretted this, 'regret' to elope with Sima Xiangru, 'regret' to sell wine and lose the face of the Zhuo family, 'regret' not to listen to Xia Xiyan's persuasion, etc.

Xia Xiyan listened to Zhuo Wenjun explain one thing after another very clearly, and there was some surprise, unexpectedly she and Sima Xiangru still knew a little self-aware of the meaning of not being supported behind doing these things, but after this accident, Xia Xiyan looked at Zhuo Wenjun's expression as if he was endorsing, and asked Zhuo Wenjun with a sneer.

"Do you really regret it?"

"Father and daughter really regret it, they have already broken up with Sima Xiangru, that lazy and poor ghost, father, forgive me!" Zhuo Wenjun looked at Xia Xiyan, his eyes were a little evasive, and he said to Xia Xiyan according to what Sima Xiangru thought for her, hoping that Xia Xiyan would forgive, but he didn't know her rotten acting skills, Xia Xiyan could see at a glance that she was not really remorseful, not to mention, Xia Xiyan had already calculated the current situation between her and Sima Xiangru, and knew that she would inevitably be instructed by Sima Xiangru to come back and do something.

"Since you regret it, get up, stay in Zhuojia'an in the future, don't be embarrassed outside, when the time comes, you will break your leg on your knees, and I won't forgive you!" After Xia Xiyan said this, and then in Zhuo Wenjun's embarrassed and ashamed expression, she called the maid who had sent the letter to Sima Xiangru and asked her to continue to serve Zhuo Wenjun, and without saying anything else, let the two of them go down.

"Luru, how did you get brought back?" Zhuo Wenjun and Lu Ru were taken to a small courtyard, and Zhuo Wenjun pulled Lu Ru to ask how she was doing.

"Miss, I'm doing well!" When Lu Ru said it, she put her rough and unshapeable hands where Zhuo Wenjun could see them, and Zhuo Wenjun noticed them.

"Luru, what's wrong with your hand?" Zhuo Wenjun took Lu Ru's hand to check, and found that it was full of working calluses and some breaks, and he didn't dare to look at it anymore in surprise, Lu Ru was her personal maid, although her previous hands were not as good as her eldest lady, but they could also be much smoother than the hands of ordinary people's daughters.

"It's no more, miss, stop looking!" Lu Ru said to 'hide his hand', but he was caught by Zhuo Wenjun and kept asking how it happened.

It took Lu Ru a long time to say her current situation, but she was actually killed by Zhuo Wenjun's elopement.

"The slave and maid betrayed the master, helped Sima Xiangru to calculate the young lady, and also instigated the young lady to elope, after the slave and maid were brought back to the Zhuo family, they were demoted to the lowest slave, doing all kinds of dirty work every day, and their hands were made out of those." Lu Ru said that she thought of her suffering, and she was a little afraid to return to such a day, and when she looked at Zhuo Wenjun again, she said with some sincere joy, "Miss, it's really good that you can come back!" ”

When she Zhuo Wenjun came back, she finally had the opportunity to atone for her sins, and she didn't have to do the inferior work of the Zhuo family anymore.

"I hurt you!" Zhuo Wenjun understood what Lu Ru said, and understood that she was punished because she eloped, so she talked to Lu Ru with some guilt, but Lu Ru smiled indifferently, and then began to pull Zhuo Wenjun and help Zhuo Wenjun change out of her coarse cloth clothes, which were worse than the clothes worn by her inferior slaves, and put on Zhuo Wenjun's previous clothes.

Zhuo Wenjun cooperated with the change, and also felt a lot more comfortable, when she was dressed up by Lu Ru, looking at the jewelry in her box, she thought of Sima Xiangru's plan, but this plan, when Zhuo Wenjun saw Lu Ru's rough hands, he was a little hesitant and didn't know whether to do it, after all, if he was discovered, the person who helped her might be punished.

However, this hesitation did not last long, and when Zhuo Wenjun was being served by Lu Ru to eat, he thought of Sima Xiangru, who was still penniless and couldn't afford to eat.

"Miss, you're done eating, slave maid send these things down!" Lu Ru was in the small courtyard that Xia Xiyan allocated to Zhuo Wenjun, because she was the only one who was arranged to serve Zhuo Wenjun, so she had to run to prepare to deliver the food box for everything, but she was pulled by Zhuo Wenjun before she finished cleaning up.

"Luru, are you still willing to help me?" Zhuo Wenjun saw that there were only her and Lu Ru in the small courtyard, and he did not ask in a low voice.

"Miss, what can I help you?" Lu Ru saw Zhuo Wenjun open his mouth to beg her for help, and he was a little excited and a little chilled when he thought of his last punishment Zhuo Wenjun, knowing that if she was a punishment for helping her be discovered, he would still do it.

These two feelings made Lu Ru's voice a little strange when she spoke again, but Zhuo Wenjun didn't hear it, but pulled her a little excitedly and said, "Like before, help me contact Changqing!" ”

***

"Master of the family, this is something that Miss asked me to bring to Sima Xiangru!"

Lu Ru opened the jewelry bag that Zhuo Wenjun gave her and let Xia Xiyan see it, but Xia Xiyan didn't look at it and asked Ah Da on the side to put it away, and at the same time asked Ah Da to give Lu Ru another somewhat large package.

"Do you know what Sima Xiangru said when I saw him?" Xia Xiyan raised her eyes to look at Lu Ru who was kneeling on the ground, Lu Ru immediately nodded and said that she knew, and immediately left with the big bag.

Xia Xiyan looked at the back of her leaving, thinking that Zhuo Wenjun had come back less than an hour, and she didn't forget Sima Xiangru who was in a hurry to send things out, whether she was a fool or a fool herself, she didn't know how to hide her motives.

"Such a brainless woman, I really want to give up □□!" Xia Xiyan looked down on Zhuo Wenjun's various calculations for the so-called 'love', and even a little disgusted, women don't love themselves, they don't respect themselves, and they become brain-dead when they fall in love, which really makes Xia Xiyan, who is also a woman, look at the nest fire, as if she rolled up her sleeves and woke her up with a few slaps!

"Master, it's the hard mode task you chose, and you have to finish it on your knees!" The system suddenly made Xia Xiyan stalked, and then ignored the system at all to look at Zhuo Wenshu and Zhuo Jun, and then went back to the room to look at the account book while waiting for Luru to come back.

Green as quickly as it goes, and it comes back very quickly.

"Master, it's done, that Sima Xiangru was very happy when he saw the big package, and asked me to bring a letter to Miss Sù, and he immediately left for Chang'an, and asked Miss to wait for him to pick him up." Lu Ru handed the letter to Xia Xiyan, but Xia Xiyan was too lazy to read it and asked her to bring it to Zhuo Wenjun.

"Go down, watch her well, don't let her do anything that will disgrace the Zhuo family! Others, the previous use is all halved, no, reduced to half, she just has too many good days, and she doesn't know the suffering of the world, so she only thinks about love and love. Xia Xiyan waved his hand to let Lu Xia go, and at the same time reduced Zhuo Wenjun's treatment in the Zhuo family.

Lu Ru went down respectfully, and Xia Xiyan asked Ah Da again, "Is it arranged for the people who follow Sima Xiangru?" ”

"After arranging the head of the family, Sima Xiangru will definitely go through all the ups and downs to reach Chang'an!" Ah Da replied to Xia Xiyan, and Xia Xiyan was satisfied with hearing it and let him go down.
