Chapter 69
The side front of the elegant Zhaoshui Building was surrounded by a bustling crowd, pointing at a girl. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Looking from the direction of Yijiang, you can vaguely see a white flag erected high, and the four big characters on the flag: 'Sell yourself and bury your father'.
"Sell yourself to bury your father?" Will also raise eyebrows.
In the state of Chu, people who can read and write are undoubtedly well-educated, and their status will not be low. Now that she has a background, even if there are some changes, she will not be reduced to a situation where she can't even raise travel expenses, and I don't know why this woman would play the banner of 'selling herself'?
You must know that slavery is cheap, even if it is bought home as a guest, it is only a concubine at best.
Someone else probably wrote it to her.
He also secretly spat that he was suspicious, and pressed back the curiosity that came out.
There was nothing to do left and right, he lazily walked into the Zhaoshui Building, and the shopkeeper led him to find a seat facing the street on the third floor. He also leaned back on the couch and looked over there condescendingly.
A young woman dressed in plain clothes knelt outside the building, her expression was sad, and her haggard appearance could not hide her beautiful appearance. Behind her was a straw mat, and there seemed to be a protruding figure under the straw mat. Linked to the banner behind her, she naturally understood what was under the straw mat.
"The concubine from Hanoi, because of the sudden change in the family, followed her father to Beijing to find her husband's family who had been married for many years. Unexpectedly, his father was sick on the way, and he left to go west without insisting on getting news from his husband's family. And the husband's family learned that there was a change in the little girl's family, and they made their hearts belong, so they simply turned their faces and refused to recognize the marriage letter. The little woman has no money to return to her hometown, and she has no relatives, and she can't bear to expose her father's corpse in the wilderness. ”
The woman leaned down heavily and slammed it, and with a 'bang', bruises immediately appeared on her forehead, which made the people around her feel a pain in their flesh, and their faces were unbearable.
The woman lowered her head with tears in her eyes, and her expression was not real.
It seems to be sincere, but it's a pity...... In this world, how can there be fewer people who have family changes, even if they help her alone.
He also had some pity in his heart, asked for a pot of tea, and explained a few words to the shopkeeper.
He took the miscellaneous rice and longan and other items placed by the shopkeeper, placed the tea leaves in the teapot, put good silver charcoal underneath, and then lit the stove to cook.
A trace of water vapor overflowed from the spout, and his thoughts couldn't help but diverge.
Behind the Zhaoshui Tower is a delicate and small garden, in which a small artificially dug river runs through it, and its beautiful and elegant scenery is one of the biggest selling points of the Zhaoshui Building.
Another selling point is the unique perspective that allows you to take in all the nearby streets from a high vantage point.
It was noon, and there were already many literati and artists gathered in the lobby to splash ink and express their opinions on the court situation.
The state of Chu did not prevent scholars from expressing their thoughts, on the contrary, if there were people with outstanding words, they were often cited as staff members or recommended as courtiers by officials. Therefore, talking in public is also a way to express yourself.
For example, he can now hear people in the lobby talking impassionedly about him, and it seems that the listeners are divided into two camps, one denouncing himself and the other praising himself.
He denounced himself and said that he was arrogant and presumptuous, and did not conform to the law of etiquette. And what supports him is that he is both wise and brave, defeating Yang Jing with the body of a commoner, and saving the emperor and the general.
Actually, what is there to discuss?
If you can generalize everything in black and white, then life must be easy.
will not care, and glance at the girl who sold herself to bury her father.
Among the passers-by was a tall figure who seemed to be contemplating something. The shopkeeper of Zhaoshui Building approached the man who looked outstandingly dressed at the order of the general, and whispered a few words.
The man was slightly surprised, then responded.
What a familiar guy...... He also raised his eyebrows and couldn't help laughing.
Some guys can meet wherever they go, and they don't know if the other party doesn't look at the yellow calendar when they go out, or if they are not suitable to travel today.
Looking at the back, you can tell that the person in the crimson robe is Li Cheng, who has not been seen for a few days.
Li Cheng walked up to the girl, helped her up, and asked what she was.
There was another burly, very muscular shadow beside him, but it was a pity that the strip of cloth wrapped around his neck ruined the feeling he gave people.
"This guy is really fateful." He also took a sip of tea.
It's a terrible thing.
It should also be said that Lin Hu's health is good, I heard that he was separated from his trachea, and he had a high fever after stitching, and it took a day to recover, which is tantamount to going around in the underworld.
Strange, how did he get together with Li Cheng?
When the girl heard Li Cheng's words, her face was surprised, and tears couldn't help but burst out of her eyes. She wiped her tears in a panic, and then kowtowed to Li Cheng a few times.
Lin Hu seemed to be surprised, and looked at the woman a few times.
Li Cheng worked hard while speaking, sent the little guy next to him to get some silver tickets, and sent someone to carry the straw mat and the corpse away. He comforted the girl, and then the girl left with the girl.
After dealing with all this in an orderly manner, Li Cheng seemed to finally feel the gaze of someone who had been watching him from above, and when he raised his head, he just met the gaze of Yijiang.
The two looked at each other and smiled.
"The eldest son is outstanding and handsome, even his mind is bright and open-minded, and he does not hesitate to help the orphan girl, and the boy admires it." He also hooked the corners of his mouth and took a sip of the teacup. "The shopkeeper, still not ready to sit for the eldest prince?"
He also said loudly, but his eyes were locked on Li Cheng, obviously meaning to invite.
Li Cheng happily agreed. "It's better to meet by chance than to meet, and it's better to be respectful than to obey fate."
"Please!"
As a representative of the children of the ancestors, Li Cheng often goes in and out of the market, and his influence is not on the same level as that of Yijiang, who suddenly became famous and rarely showed up.
As soon as he stepped into the Zhaoshui Building, the chattering 'geniuses' in the lobby suddenly fell silent, and with a strange expression, he walked behind the screen where Yijiang was.
When Li Cheng moved, he could still hear whispers coming from the same time.
"Could it be that the general in the box just now?"
"Shut up yet."
"Cheng really envy the virtuous brother." When Li Cheng heard the rumors, he sighed a little distressedly and sat down on the seat opposite Yijiang. "Those who are sincere, no matter where they go, they must remind themselves that 'you are a signboard', for fear of unconsciously falling into the name of the world. Unconsciously, I even forgot the feeling of freedom, which is really not as chic and wanton as the virtuous brother. ”
"Brother Li is too humble, ability and responsibility always coexist." He smiled and motioned for the shopkeeper to leave the box. "If it weren't for Brother Li's heart thinking about the ancestor of the family, I'm afraid he would be as vulgar and uninhibited as a kid."
