The boss may have seen me speak politely and know how to be grateful, and then asked me if I wanted to be his apprentice, he would eat and live, and I would be paid a little every month, I thought that at my age, I can't do anything, and now someone wants me, willing to teach me the craft, and willing to take care of my food and housing, I naturally agreed......"

Ji Taixiang showed a sad look on his face, his body was still trembling slightly, obviously very excited at this time, "At the beginning, the boss, that is, my master, taught me, I learned with my heart, he didn't teach me, I will also silently observe, help the master to help, although I don't know how to cook, but I will do everything to wash the master's clothes, the master is also very good to me, but unfortunately the good times don't last long......"

"It's only been a month since I entered the bun shop, and my teacher suddenly got sick and died, and he also came to investigate, saying that it was caused by heart disease."

"Heart disease? Could it be because of heart disease? Cao Yi muttered to himself.

"Yes, it's just that the heart is sick, so it's ......"

"And what about later? How's the bun shop? Tan Yun asked in a low voice.

"My teacher died, although I have already determined that my teacher had a heart attack, so he died suddenly, but I am a stranger after all, and I have not been here for a long time, so I will naturally check my details and information, and this check will find Jijia Village, and then the name of my ominous person will spread out in Yangzhou......" Ji Taixiang's face was still that kind of resignation.

"Although the teacher only taught me for a month, he handed over all the skills to me, I thought that although the teacher was gone, but he never told me anything about what he still had, so I thought that I would continue to open his bun shop, but before I put this idea into practice, a pair of men and women came, saying that it was my master's brother and sister-in-law, this bun shop belongs to their family, I am just an outsider."

Later, even the government came to prove that what they said was right, that the man and woman were indeed the relatives of the master, and now it was only natural for them to take back their own brother's shop...... So I left. ”

Ji Taixiang shook his head slightly and said in a calm tone. However, Cao Yi felt that things were definitely far from being as light as he showed, and Ji Taixiang might not really have any idea of fighting, but the pair of men and women probably really thought that Ji Taixiang would grab the bun shop with them, and they probably did some in the middle, saying some extremely ugly and ugly things.

"And later?" Tan Yun asked curiously, after all, Ji Taixiang said that he was more than eight years old, and now he looks thirteen or fourteen years old, and several years have passed in between, so there must have been a lot of things happening in the middle.

"Later?" Ji Taixiang recalled for a moment: "Later, I was captured by human traffickers! ”

"Huh!?" Tan Yun exclaimed.

"Well, a few days after leaving the bun, there was still a little money from the master at that time, but it would be spent eventually, so I thought I still had to find something to do, as long as I could manage food and housing, but I was too young at the time, and I was not considered a laborer, so I was very happy that someone was willing to take me in, and when someone told me to follow him to do things and manage food and housing, I immediately followed him, but I didn't expect the other party to be a human trafficker and sell me to others as a servant...... It is...... It's the waiter......" said Ji Taixiang and suddenly twisted.

Cao Yi immediately knew that what the other party was talking about was referring to the child-prostituteness culture that literati and doctors often had in this era, and he also felt that this name Ji Taixiang was indeed quite miserable! Even Tan Yun's eyes widened at this time, and he looked at Cao Yi with a shocked expression

"I was sent to the governor's mansion!"

"Zhizhou Mansion?" Tan Yun exclaimed again, they live in the Zhizhou Mansion now?

Cao Yi patted Tan Yun with his hand: "What are you thinking?" That was a few years ago, don't you know that the officials we are appointed as governors in the Great Yan are all changed every three years? ”

Tan Yun stuck out his tongue embarrassedly, and said glutinously: "Tan Yun is not as smart as Gongzi, just a little girl, of course I don't know what is going on in the court and officialdom..."

Ji Taixiang looked at the son-in-law and the kind-hearted maid sister in front of him with a puzzled expression, not knowing what they were talking about, but this doubt also flashed away, and continued to tell his experience.

"Originally, I had already accepted my fate, but then I didn't know much about what was going on, so the Zhizhou suddenly gathered all of us together and told us that he was going to return to his hometown, and the people in the mansion, if they are willing to stay, they will continue to stay in the Zhizhou Mansion, anyway, the next Zhizhou also needs servants and subordinates, if he is willing to leave, he will distribute a severance pay according to the length of time in the mansion......"

"Then you also took the severance pay and left?" Tan Yun asked.

"How can it, it's only been a long time since I was sold, I didn't get any money, but I was very happy to be able to regain my freedom, but I only heard later that the previous governor was dismissed because he was found to be corrupt and bribed......"

"This ......" Cao Yi and Tan Yun looked at each other, this Ji Taixiang's bad luck seemed to be ...... It's really a little too strong......

"And after that?" This time it was Cao Yi who asked, he is now extremely concerned about Ji Taixiang's fortune, after all, this person said that he was unlucky, in fact, he himself was in danger, but it just sounded miserable, but the people related to him were simply either dead or injured, and it was too common for the family to be broken or killed.

"Later!" Ji Taixiang showed a wry smile on his face: "Because the little savings I still had on my body after I came out of the teacher were also looted by human traffickers, and I became penniless again, so I had to beg for a living in order to survive." It's just that at this time, my name has been known to all the people in Yangzhou, and they feel that Zhizhou's dismissal is also because of my problem...... So in the end, even the traffickers didn't want to come to me......"

"......" Cao Yi looked at Ji Taixiang a little speechlessly, and he didn't know what to say for a while.

"And no matter who I work for, even if I don't want to be paid, just want to eat and live, but still no one wants to take care of me, and seeing me is like seeing a ghost, I am afraid that I will bring them bad luck, to the back, there are still some people who see me pitiful, although they are unwilling to take me in, but they are still willing to give me some money, but in the back, I can't even spend money, even if I spend money to buy things, no one wants to sit in my business." Ji Taixiang said with deep helplessness.

“…… Then you want to go to another city, a city that no one knows. Cao Yi asked.

"I thought about it, but no one would want to take my business, whether it was a carriage or a boat, and I didn't hide it from this son, I had even walked out to a town or village where no one knew me."

"And then?" Cao Yi's meaning is unclear, since he is still seeing it in Yangzhou City, it naturally shows that he has not succeeded.

"The first time I went out, I went to the bottom of a mountain and said that I was captured by the bandits, and the only money on my body was looted, and then they sold it back to Yangzhou City. They have actually cooperated many times before, so this time the joint on the Yangzhou side retreated so simply and decisively, and no longer cooperated, which also made the bandit side very strange, and then went to inquire about it, and immediately knew my news. ”

The expression on Cao Yi's face was very subtle, and he couldn't help but laugh, but he was strong and serious, nodded at Ji Taixiang, and motioned for him to continue.
