Chapter 151: Shaanxi Lane II
And what made Zhu Youjian even more headache was that it snowed last night.
Although the smell of and urine was still there, the and urine were covered in a thin layer of snow, which looked like a clean snow, but there were traps underneath.
No, as soon as Luo Yangxing walked into the yard, he was hit, stepped on a foot that I don't know if it was dog shit or human shit, and was rubbing the soles of his shoes in the corner.
However, it didn't give Zhu Youzhen a headache for long, and the movements of these people at the door quickly attracted the attention of the people in the courtyard, and after a while, a few men came out, quite fierce.
However, Zhu Youzhen didn't care, compared to these seemingly vicious low-level people, the sanctimonious scholars and doctors in the court were even more terrifying.
And how many of these low-level people's ferocity and evil are forced, the security in the outer city is not good, and the fierce gods and evil points that do not pretend to be are inevitably blackmailed by others.
"What for?"
A man in the lead stepped forward and asked vigilantly, listening to the accent, it should be from the west.
"Oh, this brother, this is my son-in-law, the ancestor of the family has a long life, and the Taoist said that you must do good deeds and accumulate virtue in order to live a long life, so this son will come to us to give some rice and noodles."
Seeing that this man had entered Zhu Youzhen's body, Luo Yangxing couldn't care about rubbing anymore, so he hurriedly came over to greet him.
As soon as he heard that it was the official eunuch's family who came to deliver rice noodles, the man's face was a little better, but he was still a little vigilant.
The law and order in the outer city were chaotic, and there were often well-dressed swindlers who used the guise of a powerful house to defraud them of the money of outsiders, and of course, there were many powerful and good officials and servants who bullied and oppressed others.
Therefore, for these strangers and richly dressed people, these outsiders have always avoided walking.
This is also the experience they have gained over the years with blood and tears, in case they provoke the powerful, these outsiders really call the earth and the earth unspiritual.
"We don't need to give alms, let's go quickly, a few officials, this place is full of filth, so as not to stain your eyes."
As he spoke, he took another step forward and waited for Zhu Youzhen and the others to leave.
At the beginning, he ate a closed door, and Zhu Youzhen turned around and smiled a little embarrassedly at Han Yi.
"This old brother, we are really here to give alms, definitely not the people you think, of course, if you don't like it, let's put down the rice noodles and leave."
As he spoke, Zhu Youzhen waved his hand, carrying the two guards of the rice noodles, and then put the rice noodles on his shoulders at the feet of the man.
Then they departed.
Back in the alley, Zhu Youzhen said to Han Yi with some anger and amusement.
"The reputation of the powerful and the eunuchs for being rich and unkind is engraved in the hearts of the people."
Han Yi also shook his head: "The etiquette collapses, the small people are everywhere, the people lose their trust, and the powerful officials lose their benevolence, alas." ”
After a long sigh, Han Yi was also silent and could no longer speak.
However, although Zhu Youzhen did not expect this situation, he also understood.
In later generations, there are also things that are blackmailed because of helping people, and he still has a deep understanding of the hearts of ordinary people who don't want to cause trouble.
Soon, Zhu Youzhen cheered up again and ordered someone to knock on the door of the second house.
This yard is exactly the same as the previous one, but it is a little better, at least the snow in the yard has been swept out of a few ways, and Zhu Youzhen doesn't have to worry about stepping on dog shit or human shit anymore.
But the attitude of the residents in this courtyard was the same as the previous one, and they did not let Zhu Youzhen and others in, Zhu Youzhen left the rice noodles as usual, and withdrew.
hit the wall twice in a row, and Zhu Youzhen was also a little frustrated, but he still insisted on knocking on the door of the third house.
However, before Luo Yangxing stepped forward, the door was opened, and not only the door of the third house was opened, but many people in this alley opened their doors.
Zhu Youzhen, a dozen people, made a lot of noise in the alley, which attracted everyone to come out to take a look.
And at this time, the first two families who sent rice and noodles also came out to see if they were really charity or liars.
For a while, there were more people in the alley.
There are a lot of people, and these outsiders in a disadvantaged position are also a lot more courageous, so when they were in the third house, Zhu Youzhen and these people were finally put into the door, and of course, those who were watching the excitement in other courtyards also entered the courtyard.
And after seeing that Zhu Youzhen and these people were really giving, the vigilance of the residents in the alley was relaxed.
Waiting for the guards to carry the food, Zhu Youzhen was asked by the speaker of the third courtyard to go to the stone table in the courtyard to do it.
Only then did Zhu Youzhen talk to these ordinary people.
"Childe is dedicated to goodness, we are grateful for these broken families, and I hope that the ancestors of the son's family will live a long life."
A man facing Zhou Zheng, articulate, and wearing a long robe was elected to speak with the brocade boy.
"Haha, thank you for your good words."
Zhu Youzhen arched his hand and said.
"Watching my brother's conversation, have you read a book?"
The man in the long shirt was a little embarrassed when he heard this, and he hurriedly straightened the Tang scarf on his head.
"The villain is not talented, he did study for two years, but unfortunately he was not good at learning and art, and he didn't get a reputation."
"The imperial examination is really difficult, and the younger brother is also a white person, dare to ask where the brother Tai is, why don't you get an errand in the county government or private school?"
As soon as these words came out, the person's face changed, as if he had poked the pain of this person, Zhu Youzhen felt that the atmosphere was suddenly a little embarrassing, and the sighs of the people around him were even more resounding.
Zhu Youzhen looked around and was even more puzzled, but at this time, Luo Yangxing stepped forward and said in his ear.
"Childe, listen to the accent, these are all from Shaanxi."
Zhu Youzhen immediately understood half of it, since the apocalypse, Shaanxi has been suffering from drought for many years, coupled with the geographical characteristics of the Loess Plateau, the drought is even more serious, and these people should have come out a few years earlier to escape the famine.
Sure enough, the man in the long robe wiped his face, and then said.
"The people of Shaanxi are poor, there has been a drought for many years, and the people have eaten a meal without a meal, how can they send their children to study, as for the Yamen Book Office, alas, don't say it."
The man in the robe turned his head away.
Everyone was silent for a while, and then the fierce man of the first family squeezed in and said indignantly.
"Lan Xiucai is the best, he went to the county government to ask for disaster relief food for the township, but he was dismissed by the county official of that dog day, and he was beaten with 20 boards, if it wasn't for Xiucai's youth, it is estimated that someone would have died."
When Zhu Youzhen heard this, he understood why he mentioned the matter of fame just now, and Lan Xiucai's expression was a little gloomy.
Just now, Zhu Youzhen really thought that people were not good at learning arts, and they didn't even get into the show, and they also exposed their shortcomings, saying that they were also white and good at causing empathy, but they laughed in vain.
However, this showman really has the backbone of a scholar, and with his talent, he dares to ask for the people's lives.
Thinking of this, Zhu Youzhen stood up solemnly and saluted.
"Brother Tai is righteous, little brother admires!"
As he spoke, he went to the end and stunned Han Yi and Luo Yangxing next to him.
