Chapter 796: Rumors
Although he had only a few small copper coins on his body - this was the same one that someone had thrown into his broken bowl in that little bazaar.
But Lin Enzhi still used the last few dollars to find a family with a kind face, and asked them to boil a pot of hot water and wash themselves up and down.
Then he carefully dried his wet hair, asked the master for a hemp rope and tied it carefully, and then changed the tattered clothes that the master had washed and dried for him......
In an instant, a beggar with an abominable face turned into a handsome man. Although his face is a little yellow because of malnutrition, his body is too thin...... But the temperament on his body that attracts girls is not decreasing, but increasing.
The fat aunt in this family was originally a little disgusted with little money, but now when she saw him become so handsome, her eyes widened all of a sudden, and she stared at it endlessly.
"Thank you for this aunt's help, otherwise, Xiaosheng is like this, and I don't know how to meet people." Lin Enzhi watched with satisfaction at the fat woman's performance.
Although this woman is fat, stupid, and stupid, her current performance has greatly restored his self-confidence.
He has known since he was a child that he is good-looking, and he has always known it. Otherwise, when he first arrived at Gu's house at that time, Gu Wang could be so kind and still willing to fulfill the marriage?
And whether it was Gu Ming or Gu Rui, they were arguing with him at that time...... He is good-looking, and he still plays a big role.
And this time, he will use his looks to gain more sympathy.
More biased towards his public opinion.
"Little brother, listening to the tone of your speech, are you still a scholar?" The fat woman asked in surprise.
Although it is not uncommon for a reader in the capital, a beggar is also a reader, and he is also a beautiful reader, which is very rare.
"But after a few years of reading, I almost became ......famous," Lynn said with a gloomy face, "It's just a pity that something suddenly happened at home, and this book ...... It's okay not to read it. ”
"Then what did you do when you came to Beijing?" The fat woman thought of the way they had dressed like a beggar just now—even now, though he had washed and cleaned, but his clothes were still very shabby, and she felt that she had guessed the reason why the young man did not continue his studies, so she wisely did not ask, but changed the subject with concern.
Therefore, it is so convenient to say that people are handsome, and many things that will hurt you will not be asked when others see that you are good-looking. They think they are kind, but it's not because of their faces!
If you are an ugly monster now, do you think this woman will ask what she said next?
A condescending sense of superiority rose in Lynn's heart, the innate superiority of a good-looking person in the face of a simple-looking person.
"When Xiaosheng's parents were still there, they once engaged a marriage for Xiaosheng, and now the little one is in the city, and he is here to find the Yue family to complete the marriage......" Lin Enzhi smiled shyly, "If you don't get married, you won't be able to live with the ancestors......"
You are so poor, and you still have to come to find someone else's girl to marry? Who would agree to marry a girl to a poor bastard like you? If it is a son-in-law, it is fine, but when he speaks, he clearly says that he wants to be worthy of the ancestors, so can't he be a son-in-law?
The fat woman opened her mouth, but with such a shocking word, looking at Lin Enzhi's handsome face, she couldn't say it anyway.
“…… Who is it? The woman opened her mouth for a long time before she finally found a word to say.
"The man's surname is Gu, he used to live in Runan, and I heard that he moved to the capital a few years ago to do business...... Oh, by the way, I heard that their shop has a strange name, called 'Three and Fourteen'......" Lynn said as she carefully observed the woman's face.
Sure enough, when the woman heard the name, her face changed dramatically.
Three and fourteen are such a famous shop, how could she not have heard of it!
The little boy in front of him, his fiancée, is the daughter of the Gu family, who opened the third and fourteenth stores?
Who are his parents, this vision is too good, right?
However, can this Gu family still recognize this marriage? After all, the gap between the two families is really too big......
The woman carefully examined Lin Enzhi from beginning to end, and the hair was tied with a piece of hemp rope that she had just found for him; There are more holes in the garments than there are not; There are also a lot of holes in the top of the pants, and the buttocks are all worn out, so they are in a state of being unbroken......
Only the shoes on the feet are still new. But it's just an ordinary product, and it's not worth a few bucks.
"Xiaosheng is just a little worried, whether they recognize the Gu family ......or not," Lin Enzhi said worriedly, "I think back then, our Lin family was the best family in my hometown, and even the prefect often came to my house as a guest...... At that time, the Gu family's family background was just ordinary. If it weren't for our Lin family borrowing a lot of money to do business for their family, their Gu family would have the current posture......"
"Your family funded it?" The fat woman sympathized with him even more, "Did you borrow money and write an IOU back then?" ”
"What about the future in-laws, how can they write this thing?" Lynn was very distressed, "That's all the money, Xiaosheng just hopes that they can recognize this marriage......"
To put it the other way, it should be said that it is good to be able to recognize that money! The fat woman didn't know what to say to comfort the beautiful young man in front of her.
Lin Enzhi looked at her performance and said in his heart, very good, if he encounters an opportunity in a while, he will use this set of words, and he must spread the news in the shortest possible time......
He had only been gone for a short time, and the fat woman couldn't hold back any longer—how could she not go to the neighbors to talk about such hot gossip!
"Hey, you know the three-and-fourteen shop, right?" She found a few women who usually embroidered the soles of their shoes and gossiped together, and said to them mysteriously, "Isn't that owner's surname Gu...... Guess who I just met! ”
"Who? Can you still see the emperor? "Those women are used to talking to her parents and the West family for a short time, so they are teasing each other and having a very smooth time.
"I definitely won't see the emperor, but I just saw the son-in-law of the Gu family! Future son-in-law! You don't know what he was like! The fat woman said mysteriously again.
"What does it look like, can't you have three heads and six arms? Isn't it just wearing gold and silver, and wearing silk and satin? Then hang a high-quality jade pendant on his waist and carry a sachet of incense on his body...... "Those women have done their best to describe the image of the rich in their impressions.
"Wrong, wrong, if you really want to do this, what will I tell you! It's a beggar! He had messy hair, his face was so dirty that he couldn't see anything except his eyes, he had big holes in his clothes, and even the bird in his pants was almost leaking...... Only one pair of shoes was new, probably someone who looked at him pitifully and gave it to him. The fat woman said mysteriously, looking with satisfaction at the surprised and wide-mouthed expressions of disbelief on the faces of the women.
