The young man was right, and soon after the carriage drove out of the street, he saw Qiu's carriage among the people and carriages and horses, and at this time he was wearing a hat and a young man was sitting next to him, and the two were talking as they walked.

"Xiaoshun, you see that the livelihood I found for you is not bad, it is two or three hundred yuan a day, and I have earned seven or eight thousand yuan in this month, which is more than what my uncle earns."

"I didn't expect that leftovers could be sold for money, but I always feel a little panicked in this business!"

"Panic, these are the things that the hotel is going to dump anyway, and no one knows!"

"Uncle, or you still let me go to the Qinghe Hotel to be a scribe or helper, it doesn't matter if I have less money, you have always taught me to read poetry and books to be a moral gentleman, but the livelihood you gave me is not a gentleman at all, I am afraid that I will be poked in the backbone after being known."

"Hmph, gentleman, can a gentleman eat as a meal? Look at the past, and then look at the present, your family is well fed and dressed......"

Mencius said that the rich and noble cannot be lewd, the poor and the lowly cannot be moved, and the mighty cannot be bent, which is called a great husband. I, Li Shun, can't keep doing these lowly things like flies and dogs, my husband is alive, I should do something and not do something......"

"Smack!" Qiu Cheng slapped the young man on the back of the head.

"All day long, if Mencius is poor all day long and can't eat, his wife and children will have to suffer and suffer from poverty, you see how they say, big husband...... The eldest husband also has to eat, and he can't even support his wife and children, so how can he talk about the eldest husband......"

"Alas, uncle, you are too biased, this will bring me badly, I think that Meng's mother moved three times, just because I didn't want Mencius to become a vulgar bargaining person, I met you as a philistine uncle, and I was destined to be a ......husband in this life."

"Mention the big husband three words again, be careful that the old man beats you!" Qiu raised his horsewhip angrily.

"If you don't say it, I won't say it, but I still have to say it in my heart......" the young man muttered.

At this time, Chen Xu's carriage was less than a zhang away from Qiu Cheng's carriage, and with the people around him, Qiu Cheng and his nephew didn't expect that they would follow the big boss who would pay their salaries later, so they talked and walked along the way, and the conversation between the two Chen Xu and Yu Wuya naturally heard it clearly.

Chen Xu held back a smile all the way, and became interested in the two uncles and nephews.

Qiu drove the carriage for six or seven streets and finally came to the gate of a dilapidated small courtyard, there was a middle-aged woman who seemed to have been waiting in the courtyard, and when she saw the carriage coming, she quickly greeted it and very skillfully lifted the tarpaulin covering the carriage, and several large clay basins were placed on the carriage, all of which were leftover meals from the hotel.

The middle-aged woman turned around and entered the house with a basin, and after Qiu Cheng and the young man got out of the car, they also made two trips back and forth to carry the leftovers into the room.

Chen Xu had already gotten out of the car at the corner of the street, looking at the situation in the yard from a distance, and after more than ten minutes, the middle-aged woman came out with a pot of steaming food, and then walked to a fork in the road dozens of meters away from the courtyard, where there was a small food stall, and a young woman was carrying a small child on her back to handle Zhang Luo.

Seeing a middle-aged woman coming with a meal, there was a circle of people around her, and the young woman also hurriedly took the pottery bowl and began to distribute the food, and at the same time there was a reminder to collect money.

"Engong, it seems that this Qiu Cheng is using the leftovers from the hotel to make a profit!" Yu Wuya stood beside him with an iron sword and said.

"When the water is clear, there is no fish, and when people are observed, there are no disciples, I asked Qiu Cheng to throw out the leftovers, but I didn't expect him to sell them to his nephew's family for personal gain, but looking at the situation of this family, he is also kind, go, go over and see!"

Chen Xu took Yu Wuya over slowly, and at this time, most of the hot leftovers had been sold, and there seemed to be some chopped green vegetables and radishes added to it, just like a pot of boiled gruel, and it smelled very good.

"Do the two masters also want to eat a bowl, our porridge is very fragrant......" The young woman with the child on her back was busy serving porridge and collecting money, and when she saw Chen Xu and the others coming, she quickly stopped in the middle of speaking, and her face became a little scared.

Because the clothes worn by the two of them are obviously different from the people around them who are holding pottery bowls and drinking porridge, especially Chen Xu, who is dressed in a gorgeous brocade robe and neatly combed hair, and has a jade pendant hanging on his waist, he is not an ordinary person at first glance.

The people who were buying porridge in front of the food stalls also stopped, and many of them slowly retreated with frightened expressions, and the scene fell silent.

"Don't be afraid, how much is your porridge a bowl?" Chen Xu asked with a smile.

"Two bucks!" The young woman lowered her head and didn't dare to look at Chen Xu, and the middle-aged woman who had just come over with porridge tremblingly walked over and saluted and said, "Two adults, we will go back immediately, we won't sell it here, and we will spare us!" ”

Chen Xu waved his hand: "It's okay, you continue to ......"

"Get out of the way......" Just as Chen Xu was speaking, suddenly several soldiers holding Changge passed by the street, and then dispersed the crowd eating porridge, one of the leaders wearing leather armor and a big sword walked to the food stall and said loudly: "Hungry, hurry up and wait with me for a bowl of fragrant porridge......"

However, after the leader finished roaring, he found that the atmosphere of the scene was a little dignified, looked around, and then his eyes fell on Chen Xu and Yu Wuya, looking at Chen Xu's indifferent expression and Yu Wuya's disdainful expression holding the iron sword and jade tree in the wind, he couldn't help but tremble slightly, and then clasped his fists and saluted Chen Xu respectfully and said, "I don't know where the two adults come from? ”

"A certain Qinghe Marquis!"

"Papa~Papa~Dangchang~~"

Chen Xu's voice did not fall, only heard the sound of a few clay bowls falling to the ground crackling around him, and the Changge in the hands of a soldier fell to the ground.

"Lieutenant's Mansion Dongying Wu Chang Di Shan has seen Qinghe Hou!" The leader was stunned for a moment, and then hurriedly saluted again.

"Meet the Marquis of Qinghe!" The five soldiers also hurriedly stepped forward to salute.

"The women meet the Marquis of Qinghe!" The middle-aged woman hurriedly pulled the young woman to kneel on the ground and kowtowed, and a group of people who were drinking porridge around also knelt on the ground, and they didn't dare to come out in fright.

"Excuse me, get up!" Chen Xu waved his hand and sighed, knowing that today's private interview with Weifu wanted to find out the whereabouts of Qiu Cheng, a guy who ate inside and out, could not be kept secret, because at this time, he had already seen Qiu Cheng hurriedly walking over from that dilapidated small courtyard, and he obviously discovered the changes here.

"Hou ...... Hou Ye ......"

After Qiu Cheng approached, when he looked at Chen Xu standing in the crowd, his face was pale with fright, his legs and stomach began to turn, his face was distorted and trembling, and he came up to salute.

"Qiu Cheng, you are so bold!" Chen Xu said coldly with a dark face.

"Master Hou forgives his sins, his subordinates don't dare anymore!" Qiu Cheng was so frightened that he almost sat on the ground.

"Humph!" Chen Xu snorted coldly and said to Wu Chang Dishan, "You continue to perform official duties, and besides, these vendors are all poor and helpless, and they are not allowed to eat white food in the future, otherwise I will tell Lieutenant Lu, do you know?" ”

"Oh~" Captain Wu and a few soldiers hurriedly agreed.

"Steward Qiu come with me, I have something to ask you!" As soon as Chen Xu's sleeve robe was swinged, he walked towards the dilapidated small courtyard, and Qiu Cheng wiped his forehead with his sleeve and hurriedly followed.

"Uncle, what happened?" At this time, the young man was also coming out of the kitchen, but after seeing Chen Xu and Yu Wuya, his voice instantly became quieter.

"Xiaoshun, hurry up and meet Qinghe Hou!" Qiu Cheng reminded in a low voice.

"Huh?!" The young man was stunned for a few seconds, and then with an extremely frightened expression on his face, he hurriedly bowed, "Li Shun pays a visit to Qinghe Hou!" ”

"Excuse me!" Chen Xu waved his hand and turned his head to look at Qiu Cheng, "Steward Qiu, let's say, what's going on?" ”

"Hou Ye forgives the sin, it is the subordinates who have done something wrong, and it has nothing to do with the sister's family, if Hou Ye wants to punish, please punish Qiu Cheng alone!" Qiu Cheng was sweating on his forehead at this time, and his face was extremely pale.

In this day and age, the only requirement for a doorman is loyalty.

And although Qiu Cheng did not officially take refuge in Chen Xu, as the manager of Qinghe Hotel, he naturally served Chen Xu, and once the news spread that he did not listen to the master's arrangement to enrich his private pockets, he Qiu Cheng would no longer have the face to mix in Xianyang, and any ministers, nobles, wealthy businessmen, including the government government, would not want him, this is a matter of morality.

Moreover, Daqin is still a country with a very strict rule of law, and if you don't respect the orders of the lord's family, you may even be imprisoned if you get to the government, and if you are stripped of your civil status and become a prisoner, this life will be completely finished.

It's just a matter of selling a few pots of leftovers, although he is also very hidden and careful, but he never expected to be caught by Hou Ye himself.

This Hou Ye is also too idle to hurt his eggs!

Qiu Cheng smiled bitterly in his heart, and was instantly ready to accept the punishment of being ruined.

"Hahahaha, scare you!" Chen Xu's cold face instantly bloomed, patted Qiu Cheng's shoulder and said, "Okay, don't be afraid, Manager Qiu, although you are not authentic in this matter, I am not so idle to find you trouble for a few pots of leftovers, I came with you today purely because of curiosity!" ”

"Hou ...... Hou Ye...... I...... I ......"

In the blink of an eye, the old hen turned into a duck, Chen Xu's face changed too quickly, and Qiu Cheng's brain was full of paste, so he also looked at Chen Xu with a confused face, feeling that his tongue was knotted when he spoke.

Looking at Qiu Cheng's appearance, Chen Xu turned his head and looked around the courtyard side by side, and then said with a smile: "I originally wanted to find a few people with flexible minds and neat writing today, and then Huangfu Que recommended you, so I went to the kitchen to find you, but I didn't expect you to be a kitchen steward who is not good at patrolling and supervising in the kitchen, but he used his power to help his nephew do these messy things, it seems that I was wrong to put you in Qinghe Hotel, anyway, you are not doing your job, so you don't have to do this kitchen steward, come with me, I'll give you another errand to be responsible for leg shaving! ”

Qiu Cheng's mouth opened several times, and finally he hung his head and said, "Thank you, Master Hou!" ”

"Don't be so frustrated, this errand is more suitable for you, it is guaranteed to be better than being a kitchen steward, and also, it is not a long-term solution for you to let your nephew's family sell leftovers, once you wait until the weather is hot, this meal will be spoiled quickly, and if you accidentally let people eat diarrhea and intestinal disease, you will be guilty of a big crime, so you can't do this thing in the future!" Chen Xu's face became slightly serious, and he said.

"Yes!" Qiu Cheng didn't dare to say more than half a word.

"Come back with me, it's almost time for someone to come to the emperor who is missing!" Chen Xu nodded slightly at the young man and walked outside the courtyard.

"Master Hou~" The young man hesitated for a moment and couldn't help but catch up.

"What's the matter with you?" Chen Xu stopped and turned around.

"Xiaoshun, don't be rude!" Qiu Cheng hurriedly scolded.

"It's okay, let him speak!" Chen Xu waved his hand.

"Master Hou, my name is Li Shun, my father used to be a small official in the Pawn Mansion, I was influenced by my father and uncle since I was a child, I like to read, and I am quite proficient in the subset of scripture and history, although I am now married, I have not found an errand to make a living, and my uncle has also seen the hardships of our family to find us this business to make a living, so please don't punish my uncle, if you want to punish, Li Shun is willing to accept it on your behalf!" The young man blushed and bowed his head.

"It's okay, I just said that I won't punish Steward Qiu, so you can rest assured about this matter!" Chen Xu nodded and was about to go out, thought for a while and turned to look at Li Shun, "Since you said that you are also familiar with the subset of scriptures and history, you are also full of economy, and your writing should be good, so let's go with me, if you answer some of my questions, I can also arrange an errand for you, but it may be very hard, I don't know if you can endure hardship?" ”

"Huh?!" Li Shun and Qiu Cheng were stunned at the same time, and after a while, Li Shun was overjoyed, and hurriedly bowed down excitedly: "Don't worry, Master Hou, Li Shun is not afraid of hardship!" ”

"That's good, let's go together!" Chen Xu climbed into the carriage in the courtyard and asked Qiu Cheng and Li Shun to rush back to the hotel, and as soon as the carriage came out of the courtyard, he met a middle-aged woman and a young woman who had already sold a pot of leftovers and came back with a child carrying a rice pot and pottery bowl.

"Brother, where are you and Xiaoshun going?" The middle-aged woman asked anxiously.

"Second sister, don't be afraid, Xiaoshun and I will follow Master Hou to run errands, you and Xiaoyun don't go out at home, and don't sell the leftover meals!"

"...... Won't it be sold in the future? The middle-aged woman felt like a thunderbolt from the sky, and her face turned pale in an instant.

"Well, Hou Ye arranged a new errand for me, and the leftovers will be managed by others in the future, don't worry, Hou Ye said that he would arrange an errand for Xiaoshun as well, and your family will not be hungry again in the future!" Qiu Cheng couldn't help but explain.

"Puff~" The middle-aged woman knelt directly in front of Chen Xu, kowtowed and said with tears in her eyes: "Thank you, thank you!" ”

"Thank you, Master Hou!" The young woman also carried the child on her back and kowtowed to Chen Xu.

"Get up!" Chen Xu glanced at the two women with patches on their bodies, and then turned his head to look at the dilapidated small courtyard.

Although the situation of this family seems to be much better than when he first woke up in Xiaohe Village, in the big city of Xianyang, this situation is not much better than that of Chen Xu's family in Xiaohe Village, and it is definitely the most destitute state.

Therefore, Chen Xu pinched his chin and thought for a while and said: "Although the leftovers can't be sold, I will find another livelihood for you in a few days, and you can maintain the livelihood of the whole family by setting up a small stall at the corner of the street as usual, and it is also clean and hygienic, let's go!" ”

After Chen Xu finished speaking, he asked Qiu to leave in a car.

Moreover, Li Shun didn't dare to ask what Chen Xu wanted to arrange for his family to make a living, and Qiu Cheng didn't dare to ask.
