Chapter 148: Illusion (2)
It is also said that God has a feeling, and intends to let Chen Wenlong's good luck come.
Later one evening, he came home from begging outside, and was walking slowly along a deserted path to his rented house.
At this time, the sky was dark, and under the residual light of the grass-colored sunset, the pedestrians who returned home late on the street were in a hurry.
And he is a beggar begging along the street, still with an empty stomach, lamenting how far away his survival road is.
When he thinks of this, his heart will rise with endless suffering, as well as a small and fragmented sense of sorrow, and endless melancholy.
But just as he was sighing, he suddenly found that there was one more person beside him, I don't know when.
It was a woman, dressed in plain clothes, with only a small burden on her body, and her appearance was quite beautiful.
Chen Wenlong didn't want to pay much attention to it, and wanted to walk away quickly, but the woman didn't know why, and she quickly followed.
Seeing this, Chen Wenlong couldn't help but be puzzled, and deliberately slowed down, and the woman also slowed down.
She was always by Chen Wenlong's side, either before or after.
This made Chen Wenlong very puzzled, he thought to himself that this woman was alone, walking alone on the street, probably because she was worried about meeting strongmen and hooligans, so she walked with him intentionally or unintentionally.
For this reason, he also thought about it and wanted to talk to her.
So, he started talking.
When he spoke, his tone was sincere, and the woman also had to answer questions, and she didn't seem to be wary of him, and after the two talked, they couldn't help but be like-minded, and for a while, they talked happily with each other.
As it got late, the woman seemed to have a long way to go.
Chen Wenlong was worried that she was a weak woman and was traveling alone at night, lest something happen to her, so he warmly invited her to his home and stay for one night.
The woman thought about it, and without refusing, she followed Chen Wenlong to his dilapidated home.
After a short time, the candle shadow shook red, and on the broken window paper, the figures of the two of them gradually got closer and closer.
In the end, one was finally synthesized and entangled together.
"Smack......
With a soft sound, the oil lamp in the room suddenly went out and blew out.
After a short time, after the lights went out, everything was silent inside and outside the house, and the fragments of warm and warm words were whispered......
The night's work soon passed like this.
Happiness is always short-lived, and the next day, when the sun was three poles, Chen Wenlong woke up from a sweet dream.
What happened last night was like a pink dream, beautiful, but not very real.
Maybe God saw him too pitiful, so he arranged such a sweet dream for him!
"God treats me well, it's not thin!"
Chen Wenlong lay between the defeats and smirked.
"What are you laughing at?"
At this time, a question made Bai Yezi startled when he heard this, and he was busy looking at the bedside.
I found that the woman from last night was sitting at the head of the bed, as if she was still there.
"I didn't ...... Nothing?"
Chen Wenlong was surprised and delighted in his heart, and stammered.
He straightened up, not daring to say that what happened last night was just a dream in his poor life.
The woman glanced at him, didn't ask any more questions, and said softly: "Lang Jun's life, why is it so embarrassing? The concubine is originally in the city, the widow of a family, although the family conditions are not good, but at least it is better than yours, are you willing to keep me to live here again?"
When Chen Wenlong heard this, how could he be unwilling, his heart was full of love and joy for this woman who fell from the sky.
And, listening to her tone, it seems that she can help him in life. Where can I find this good thing of both people and money?
Immediately, he also said: "Don't hide it from the little lady, I am now extremely poor and bored, and I almost died on the street, and I dare not think that you treat me with such integrity." However, a strong person like me can't make a living, so how can you make a living as a woman?"
The woman said, "When I was young, I married a merchant, and my husband died for ten years, but I still have a small ......."
The woman said that her husband's family has a few shops selling grain and cloth in the street market in Pingshui City, and they have some income every day.
She went to the store in the morning, and went home in the evening, and always had twenty or thirty dollars a day, and although she was not rich, she could barely make ends meet.
She also said that since Chen Wenlong had lost his official position, if he wanted to be reinstated in the future, he would have to give the officials in the city some filial piety money and some connections.
But now he doesn't have the slightest entanglement on his body, which makes him have hope for his future future!
If she doesn't dislike it, she can live with Chen Wenlong for a period of time, so that she can take care of his daily life.
Chen Wenlong didn't follow this, and immediately did not refuse, leaving this woman and living in his home.
Speaking of which, he is really blessed.
After the woman came to his house, everything in his house was kept in good order. Including himself, and all the family affairs, not only rich and frugal, but also modest.
It can be seen that this woman is still a good housekeeper. The money she should spend, never saves, shouldn't spend, and doesn't use any money.
Although they met, this woman trusted Chen Wenlong very much, not only entrusted him with all her own money for safekeeping, but also paid him sincerely.
Besides, she is also very virtuous, every morning, she prepares a day's meals for Chen Wenlong, and then goes out, saying that she is going to the store to help.
When she returned in the evening, she gave him all the rice, meat, cloth, and other daily necessities she had bought from the market, as well as the money she had earned from opening the shop.
This is true almost every day, without exception.
This woman is busy at home, and she has to be busy outside the house, which is very hard.
This made Chen Wenlong look at it, and he couldn't bear it, so he persuaded her to buy a servant to do some housework, and at the same time, he could also give her a hand in business.
However, every time Chen Wenlong just mentioned the conversation, the woman tried every means to politely decline him.
Seeing this scene, Chen Wenlong couldn't force it, so he had to listen to it and let it go.
Time is like an arrow, and a year has passed.
The matter of electing officials in Pingshui City is still far away, and Chen Wenlong is gradually desperate for his career.
However, on the other hand, God compensated him and gave him a warm home.
This dewy couple, the relationship is getting deeper and deeper, and that woman also gave birth to a son for him!
But Chen Wenlong is still living at home, and he has never had a serious livelihood, but the woman has no complaints about this.
Often when his wife went out to run errands, he stayed at home, took care of the children, read books, and often looked at his son in life, the white and tender little hands and feet, and his heart was full of joy.
Living in a temple and honoring your ancestors, you won't be happier than this!
