Xu Yanbang knew that the eldest brother of Lu Dao had been engaged, and he was going to get married at the end of last year, but he didn't know why Lu Dao had been dragging out the happy event, and he threw his heart aside for a while, took a closer look at the eldest brother's face, and asked tentatively: "Big brother, ...... your marriage?"

Xu Yanhui's complexion changed, and soon returned to normal, and said lightly: "There were too many things last year, and my health was not good, so I postponed the wedding." It's about the end of the year. ”

At the end of last year, when the situation changed suddenly and the dynasty changed, the Xu family did not have the heart to do happy events, but it was reasonable.

Xu Yanbang didn't ask any more, but said softly: "Since the wedding date is set, the eldest brother should also take care of it." Dad is right, we should also find something serious to do. ”

The brothers glanced at each other, and they both saw the clarity and sympathy in each other's eyes, and they couldn't help but be stunned, and felt embarrassed, so they hurriedly went back to their rooms.

As the sun sets, it is time for the various squares in Chang'an City to close their doors and curfew.

Zhu Susu sat in his own carriage and hurried to his home.

As soon as he entered his own four-entry mansion and bypassed the wall of the gate, Zhu Susu saw a tall man half-naked, holding a sharp axe, chopping wood in a corner of the courtyard.

Under the high courtyard wall, firewood that is almost one person high has been erected, and each firewood is almost cut to the general length and thickness, and the yard is neat and tidy.

The bronzed skin, the strong muscles, and the long arms wielding sharp axes reflected the sunset, and like the beads of sweat on his back, they strongly attracted Zhu Susu's attention.

"The eldest lady is back." The servants of the family came over one by one to say hello to Zhu Susu.

The man who was chopping wood by the courtyard wall heard the sound and turned around. Seeing that it was Zhu Susu who was back, he also came over to greet her, "Zhu Xiaoniang is back." ”

It was the beggar that Zhu Susu saved on the road a few days ago.

After eating and drinking, his strength seemed to come back, with bulging tendons and meat, and he looked honest and sincere, like a simple farmer.

Of course, he is also a simple farmer.

After he woke up, Zhu Susu had already figured out his old bottom.

His name is Wu Shicheng and he is 20 years old this year. It came from Tongguan. Both parents died, the family was gone, and I originally planned to come to Chang'an to join my family. As a result, his relatives had already moved out, and his coils were exhausted. The last is cornered. Hungry for a few days. almost starved to death on Chang'an Street. Fortunately, Zhu Susu was kind for a while and rescued him.

After reading his ultimatum, Zhu Susu was completely dead.

She knew what she knew. The beggar he picked up is really a beggar.

Zhu Susu saw Wu Shicheng coming over to greet him, and was about to say a few words. When the servant woman on the side saw this, she hurriedly shouted, "Go and get dressed!" Naked in front of the eldest lady, what a body! ”

Zhu Susu was stunned. She didn't think there was anything wrong with it. It's just a shirtless man, she's seen a lot in her previous life. In the past, in her hometown, on a hot day, the men in the neighborhood, whether old or young, were all wearing a pair of big pants, holding cold powder, sitting in the streets and alleys to pose in a dragon gate formation.

Besides, Wu Shicheng is still wearing a pair of gray kudzu pants......

Zhu Susu's gaze involuntarily glanced at Wu Shicheng's lower body.

Wu Shicheng felt that it was inappropriate, so he hurriedly rushed to the edge of the courtyard wall, picked up his robe and put it on his body, and said to Zhu Susu: "I was offended, thank you for saving your life." ”

Zhu Susu's eyes slipped around him, nodded, and turned to go into the house.

Wu Shicheng walked a few steps, followed behind Zhu Susu, and said urgently: "Little ladies, I will go to the market tomorrow to find a short-term job." When I pay off the medicine money of the little ladies, I will leave. ”

Zhu Susu's footsteps paused, and then walked into the house as if nothing happened, and said lightly: "Whatever you want." "Anyway, this man is young and strong, and even if he goes out to be a slave, he will not starve to death. It is not easy for her to make money, she will not stick to men, nor will she support idlers......

After a few days, Zhu Susu went home every day, and he didn't see the back of the corner chopping wood, but felt a little uncomfortable, and couldn't help but ask his housekeeper, "How is that little brother Wu now?" Thinking about it, he felt angry, and said: "He said that he would do a short-term job to repay the silver, but did he pay it back?" ”

The housekeeper shook his head, "Brother Wu never came back after he went out a few days ago. ”

Zhu Susu rolled his eyes and shouted in his heart, but he didn't expect that he had not only saved a beggar, but also a liar.

Ahh

Zhu Susu was angry for a while, and said to the housekeeper: "Where is the liar looking for a job?" Take me to him! ”

The housekeeper hurriedly said: "I heard that it is in the people's market in the East City, do you want to go over and have a look?" ”

Zhu Susu held his breath and took the housekeeper to the East City for a walk, but he didn't see Wu Shicheng's figure.

The housekeeper found a familiar tooth line and asked about Wu Shicheng's situation.

It is rare to see a tall and sturdy short-term worker like Wu Shicheng in the market, so as soon as the housekeeper said it, the agent of the tooth store had an impression, and said with a smile: "Oh, it's looking for the little brother surnamed Wu, right?" I have the impression that he only does short-term jobs and odd jobs, and refuses to sell himself. Now the supply of goods in the market is sufficient, the rich and powerful people, have to sell the deed to collect to work, now there are fewer and fewer people who hire short-term workers and odd jobs, there is still work to do a few days ago, these days there is no work, yesterday I saw him sitting in the corner, hungry and his eyes are rickety, I haven't seen him until now, I don't know where he went. ”

As he was talking, one of the guys in the tooth shop pointed to a pyre in the corner and said, "Oh, that's him over there, he just came over, it looks like he was hungry for another day yesterday." ”

Zhu Susu raised her eyes and saw that it was Wu Shicheng, the robe on her body was even more shabby, and after a few days, she had returned to her yellow and thin appearance, almost exactly the same as when she first "picked up" him on the street.

Needless to say, this look must be hungry again.

Zhu Su didn't fight in one place, walked over, and condescendingly scolded Wu Shicheng who was squatting in the corner: "Okay, you liar, didn't you say that you want to repay my consultation fee?" What about the silver? Where is it?! ”

Wu Shicheng raised his head weakly. Seeing that it was Zhu Susu, his eyes were first happy, and then he felt that his whole body was relaxed, and he actually felt relieved and fell at the feet of Zhu Susu.

"Huh? He seemed to be sick. Zhulangzhong, please treat him. Saving people's lives is better than creating a seventh-level floating slaughter. "The brokers and guys of the tooth shop are vying to flatter Zhu Susu. They all knew that although she was among the girls, she had excellent medical skills, no worse than those men, and even in some places. Much stronger than them. The only thing that's not good. It's just that the fees are too high, too expensive, and ordinary people can't afford her consultation fees, so they are happy to see her jokes. Look at this famous oil pot and also fished out the silver in Lang Zhong, will he really see death and not save him......

Zhu Su was so angry that he died.

What's sick?

It's clear that you're hungry!

This man. There are hands and feet. I can live like this.

Even if she had the ability, she didn't want to save him. Gu Yun doesn't help the poor, and she's not a. There is no obligation to support him for the rest of his life.

"Yes, I can save him, but did Agent Pan give him a visit fee? You are so kind-hearted, just like Zhou Papi in Renshifang, to make money from these bitter people, it is time for you to do some good deeds, so as to accumulate blessings for your children and grandchildren. "Where is Zhu Susu who can suffer, besides, she grew up in the market, fights with people, and never lags behind.

The broker of the tooth bank is excited, where is he willing to pay? Busy playing ha, under the pretext of taking care of business, he ran away with oil on the soles of his feet.

Zhu Susu snorted, walked a few steps, and finally ordered someone to carry Wu Shicheng back to her house.

A few days later, Wu Shicheng returned to the place where he had saved him.

After waking up, Wu Shicheng was so embarrassed that he got out of bed with his head down, and was about to rush out of the door.

Zhu Susu grabbed his arm at the door and said angrily, "Are you really going to pay the bill?" ”

Wu Shicheng struggled twice, but he didn't break free from Zhu Susu's hand, and he didn't dare to push too hard, so he had to pin his head to the side and whispered: "I'm useless, I can't earn silver." ”

As he spoke, Wu Shicheng gritted his teeth, took out a cloth bag wrapped in an oilcloth from the place where the flesh was attached to his chest, and handed it to Zhu Susu, "This is handed down by my father, I can't understand it, but I heard that it is very useful to Langzhong." In the past, someone wanted to exchange 1,000 taels of silver for this thing, but my father was reluctant to do so, so he originally came to make an heirloom for our family and pass it on from generation to generation. But it seems that our family is about to run out of it, so I'll give it to you, and cover the medical fee for you to save me, okay? ”

Zhu Susu unceremoniously took the oilcloth cloth bag, checked it, and found that it seemed to be a book, and his face, which was still a little happy just now, sank again, "Take the book to fool me?" You can figure it out! - Let me ask you, you have hands and feet, and you are in good health, why are you so lazy to do it, and you refuse to go out to work to earn money? ”

Wu Shicheng's face turned red and said, "I'm not too lazy to eat!" I go to look for short-term jobs and odd jobs every day, but the people in Chang'an City have to sign a deed of sale, and there are fewer and fewer people who are willing to hire short-term and odd jobs. I waited for several days, only waiting for a job, and earned a steamed bun......" After speaking, his stomach growled twice, and Wu Shicheng was ashamed.

Zhu Susu glared at him hatefully, but still asked someone to bring two plates of steamed buns, and sat aside to watch Wu Shicheng gobble them up.

"Slow down, you're choking and you want me to save you. My time is precious and valuable. Saving you is a waste of my time, and I don't have any money to earn, and I have to pay for a meal, which is really a big loss. "Zhu Susu said very harshly.

Wu Shicheng couldn't help but eat more slowly.

After he finished eating steamed buns and drank water, Zhu Susu persuaded him: "Since it is difficult to find short-term jobs and odd jobs, you should sign a deed of sale and become a slave in a big family, at least it will not be a problem to have food and clothing." If you're lucky enough to tie up with your master, maybe you'll have a great future. - The seven-rank official in front of the prime minister's door is not said in vain. ”

Unexpectedly, Wu Shicheng shook his head and said honestly: "No." My family has been a good citizen for generations, and our ancestors have trained that a man should not be a slave, and a woman should not be a slave. I'd rather starve to death than be a pariah. ”
