Chapter 21: Buying straw sandals

Last time, it was said that Zhao Tuo's family chased him to Zhuo County, and after eating a meal, he found that he didn't have much money left.

In fact, Zhao Tuo gave them enough funds, and each team gave them a full month's expenses.

But this strong man is Zhao Tuo's personal follower, called Zhao Ergou, who usually helps his young master find beautiful women outside, and is used to eating, drinking and having fun with the young master, so he treats this errand as a publicly-funded tour, and he is still lavish.

Everywhere you go, you eat and drink well, and put business aside.

Otherwise, with the speed at which they rode horses, they would have caught up with Liang Xu's turtle-speed ox cart, and if they were taken seriously, they would have caught up a long time ago.

It's good now, the public funds are almost spent, but the time is not half over, how can I go back to pay the errand? Zhao Ergou is very clear about the temperament of their unkind young master.

Zhao Ergou was annoyed while walking out of the restaurant with his companions. When he saw the horse tethered to the stake in front of the door, he had an idea.

Zhao Ergou said to the thin man: "Li Mao, our money is almost used. ”

When Li Mao heard this, he was anxious, afraid that Zhao Ergou would ask him for money, so he hurriedly said: "Brother Ergou, you hold all the money, but I don't have a penny." ”

Zhao Ergou was also anxious, and roared angrily: "What do you want? Did I ask you for money? Am I that kind of person? ”

Li Mao: What kind of person you are, you know for yourself. is usually a young master, but he is used to bullying us. Do you do less to borrow money and pay off your debts?

Zhao Ergou didn't want to know what Li Mao thought, and continued: "I'm going to sell the horse. ”

Li Mao was anxious again and said, "How can this work? I sold the horse, and I couldn't pay it back anymore! No, no, no! ”

Zhao Ergou laughed angrily, gave Li Mao a chestnut, and said, "If you don't sell the horse, you can make a difference?" As long as you go back, you can say that you let the bandits rob you, and that's it. So it was decided. ”

After Zhao Ergou finished speaking, he took his horse and went directly to the inn.

Please book lovers support the genuine version, please go to the Genesis Chinese website or any website under the Literacy website to support the author, I am grateful.

Li Mao didn't know if Zhao Ergou's statement that he had robbed the bandits would work, but with his Li Mao's identity in the Zhao family, it would definitely be over.

Originally, Ergou was not surnamed Zhao, he was a child of a poor family without a surname, and was sold by his parents to Mrs. Zhao's house as a slave.

And Li Mao is the child of the Zhao family's long-term worker, and his status in the Zhao family is higher than that of Ergou.

But Ergou, a child who has been an elf since he was a child, can speak and coax people, and coaxes Zhao Tuo very happy.

So Zhao Tuo let Ergou be his follower and gave him the surname Zhao.

As the saying goes: "The official level crushes people to death." "The current Li Mao can't say no to the current Zhao Ergou.

Li Mao had no choice but to take his horse and silently follow Zhao Ergou.

Speaking of Liang Xu and his party, they had lunch and found an inn to settle down.

Liang Xu didn't rush to find Liu Bei or Zhang Fei, because the long journey in the Han Dynasty era was too tiring.

After four days, he is now lying in bed. Liang Xu didn't want to move at all, so he chose to rest for a day first.

Liang Xu was lying on his side, holding "Taiping Qing Lingdao" in his hand.

On the one hand, because I know that I can't understand the above content, on the other hand, I don't have the spirit to understand, I just lie bored and can't sleep, so I just take it and take a look. So it's all about looking at the text and punctuation on it.

Liang Xu has looked at the bamboo slips many times, and found that it is not an illusion that there is a warm current in his body.

And this time, I didn't try to understand the above at all, and this feeling seems to be even stronger.

Liang Xu was stunned for a moment, and just wanted to confirm it, but that feeling disappeared completely with his awakening.

Maybe it's because I'm too tired, so my senses are skewed. Liang Xu explained to himself like this.

Then, he went back to looking at the text on the bamboo slip.

Soon, Liang Xu felt warm and comfortable on his body. Drowsy, so he fell asleep.

Ji Chuer helped Liang Xu put away the bamboo slips, although she wondered why her son always liked to look at this blank bamboo slip, but looking at her son's usual performance was normal, so she didn't delve into this problem.

The next day, Liang Xu slept until 9 o'clock in the morning before getting up. After freshening up, let Liang Sheng take him to Liu Bei.

But this time I didn't go directly to Liu Bei's house, but went to the market to find it.

In Liang Xu's memory, Liu Bei was a seller of straw sandals, and he wanted to see what the real life of a big star was like before he became famous, so he decided to go directly to the straw sandals seller.

I heard that Liu Bei's ears are relatively large, so he is also called Liu Da'er. Liang Xu thought as he followed Liang Sheng through the market, paying attention to whether there were any straw sandals sold, and the shopkeeper's ears were not big.

As he walked, Liang Xu suddenly found that there was a young man selling straw shoes on the side of the road, still with a pair of attractive ears, and thought: Could it be that he is Liu Bei? It looks like this, and the ears are really big.

So he took Liang Sheng's hand and pulled Liang Sheng to the straw sandal stall with big ears.

Liang Xu pretended to pick straw sandals in front of the stall.

The stall owner looked at the little doll helplessly, looking at the brocade shoes on the little doll's little feet.

The stall owner thought to himself: The straw sandals I hit are so big, what is this rich and noble little boy going to do?

Liang Sheng watched from the sidelines, because he didn't know what Liang Xu was going to do.

Liang Xu himself really wanted to pretend to be a customer and talk to him.

But picking and picking, he committed the occupational disease of being a traverser again.

He touched the rough lines of the straw sandals, and thought to himself: Is this what people wear? Can't be awkward? I guess the skin of my feet will be worn out. It still feels prickly in some places.

Liang Xu looked at his shoes and thought to himself: The shoes he was wearing were made by his mother herself, as if they were called the shoe, and the toe of the shoes was upturned and square. The sole is made of wood, and the upper is made of silk.

It looks like a high-end product, but it feels uncomfortable when you wear it for the first time. Not to mention these straw sandals?

In the end, according to my own strong requirements, I thickened the insole with soft padding, and also made a special thickening of the foot socket according to the foot shape, so that I finally wore a little comfort in the future.

Liang Xu didn't want to think about his child's body, it grew up fast, and the shoes would soon be no longer able to wear, and he had to do it again, which was both expensive and labor-intensive.

This is the life of being born in a rich and noble family, and it is different from ordinary people, who have to wear straw sandals with awkward feet.

Liang Xu thought about it, and finally found out the problem, found a super lame excuse, and said to the big-eared stall owner with a red face: "This is what I picked for the servant." ”

The big-eared stall owner didn't care about him, one because the stall had no customers now, and the other he didn't dare to offend this boy in fancy clothes, and he couldn't afford to bear it.

Thirdly, he hoped that the rich man would buy a pair of straw sandals for all his servants.
