Chapter 47: Entering the City

Jiang Yun recuperated in Zhao's house for half a month, and his body gradually returned to normal, and in this half a month, he also fully realized what a "workaholic" is. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Sleeping for two and a half hours every day, going out to fish on time at noon, and coming back for dinner at night, Zhao Junren rushed to the beach non-stop and started working all night.

Zhao Junren is right, he seems to be really short of money, as for the reason, Jiang Yun asked a few times, he shook his head and smiled and bypassed, even the very talkative Daddy Zhao didn't seem to want to say more on this issue, every time Jiang Yun asked, it would always provoke him to sigh for a long time, Jiang Yun could see that he was distressed about his son, but in this regard, he seemed to be quite helpless, and he could only let Zhao Junren take his life to make money.

Working like this is obviously not a long-term solution, Jiang Yun originally thought that the Zhao family had some trouble recently, and Zhao Jun had to do it, after all, this kind of thing was not uncommon in the previous life, because of certain factors such as illness and debt, there are also situations where one person works several jobs and works day and night.

During a casual conversation with Father Zhao, Jiang Yun accidentally learned that Zhao Junren's unhealthy life had lasted for more than four years. Although the father and son of the Zhao family lived a hard life, they were by no means poor, Jiang Yun had seen with his own eyes that Father Zhao had lent his neighbor five taels of silver.

In this era when shopping is generally based on "literature", there is silver at home, not to mention lending, can it be said that the Zhao family is poor? Why Zhao Junren needed money so much, Jiang Yun didn't know, but he still couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed in his heart.

Rice worms! He has been a rice worm for nearly half a month, and it is not an exaggeration to say that he is waiting for death by eating and eating, not to mention that Zhao Junren paid for him extra money for light medical treatment, and I am afraid that it will not be less than a few taels of silver.

This person has a tendency to owe more and more money, every time he sees Zhao Junren fishing day and night, when Jiang Yun eats, he can't help but have the illusion of eating his flesh and blood, and every time he comes to this time, he can't sit still. It's time to go out and find something to do and make some money. Other things, at least you have to support yourself first, and then think about it.

finally looked forward to the end of the month, and it was also the day when Zhao Junren sent fish to Lu Fu. Jiang Yun was dead-skinned, and he had to go into the city with him. Seeing that his injuries had basically healed, Li Junren no longer objected, and the two of them got up early in the morning, and one of them pulled a special huge trailer, carrying nearly ten large fish baskets, and dragged them towards the city.

Yuecheng, the name is very simple, but in this place of Shuibei, its status is like the imperial city of the Great Zhou, you can feel a solemn atmosphere from afar, and there are hundreds of soldiers stationed on the city tower. The gates were wide open, and a group of about a dozen guards divided into two rows, carefully examining the goods brought by the merchants entering the city.

Lu Junren seemed to be accustomed to this, so he naturally pulled the trailer to the city gate and said hello to the big man who led the team. "General You, why did you personally come down to check the goods today?"

This big man is about forty years old, more than seven feet long, with a square face, a straight nose and a wide mouth, and is very rough. Although he was called a general, he did not wear military armor, only wore a coarse cloth green robe, and stood aside very casually. After seeing Li Junren, he nodded, said hello kindly, and spoke in a voice like a golden bell. "It's Junren, and you're here to deliver fish again? This time, it's two days early, right? ”

"Yes, just point to this job, seeing that the goods are ready, I don't dare to slack off, I sent it over early, and I also counted a matter of thought." Li Junren smiled, turned around and took a small package from the car, handed it to Dahan and said, "This is the small skewer that the general asked me to bring last time, and this meeting will save me a special trip, take it." ”

"I'm tired." Dahan took the package, and his tone was a little more kind. "I'm Youyong in my life, just drink in one sip, if you want to talk about snacks and food, I can't compare to this when I travel all over the land of Yizhou. If you don't eat two of them, the wine will feel like you're drinking it for nothing. Come, take it. ”

Looking at the broken silver that You Yongdi came over, Zhao Junren hurriedly said: "Don't! We still have to rely on the general for a peaceful life, but if we catch a few small fish, how can we collect your money. I'm going to really take it, go back and let my father know, don't break my legs, general, don't hurt me. ”

"What did you say?" You Yong's face was stunned, and he was quite dissatisfied: "This is a business, the cashier is very reasonable, and Brother Zhao can't say anything, even if you take it, I will never take advantage of others." What's more, this is not a one-time deal, and I have to trouble you when I finish eating. If you don't collect cashiers, how can I have the face to entrust you to do things? You kid is trying to break my habit! ”

No matter what You Yong said, Zhao Junren just shook his head and refused to stretch out his hand.

Looking at his appearance, You Yong also knew that he couldn't ask for it, so he put the silver back into his arms, and said helplessly: "Okay, since you don't want the silver, then I'll send you a message, just give you the reward, and we'll talk about it later." ”

"Message?"

"I'm afraid you're going to be yellow about that matter, so I'll give you a letter, and I'll be mentally prepared in advance."

When Zhao Junren heard this, his face suddenly turned pale, his fists couldn't help clenching tightly, and he asked in a trembling voice, "You mean?" ”

You Yong couldn't bear to glance at Zhao Junren and sighed: "You kid, you're too honest!" Honest people have suffered in these years! In the past four or five years, I have seen what you have done, but to be honest, it is useless! In this land of Shuibei, the eldest lady's words are true, but even the Great Zhou Emperor has to consider the people around him when he does things and speaks. Over the years, you have been busy fishing to save money, but Qian Hao's grandson licked his face and slapped his horse everywhere. He already has some ability, and he does things beautifully, no, he has climbed the high branch of the left admiral of the navy, and now he is the godson of others. ”

Zhao Junren hung his head, dark and wooden, and said silently: "But... The eldest lady promised me, and she will not regret it. ”

"She's already repentant." You Yong shook his head and said: "A few days ago, Master Chang had personally come to the door to ask for marriage, although the eldest lady was reluctant, but after all, she was the governor of the navy as a daughter, and she relied on the two admirals a lot, so naturally she would not be unhappy with the important ministers of the family for this little thing." ”

"Miss, how can this be. She promised me that as long as I could save two hundred taels of silver within five years, I would prove that I was able to support Xiaoya, and she would promise her to me. When Zhao Junren heard this, his face was dejected, he muttered to himself, and repeated unconsciously: "She promised me, she promised it herself!" ”

"I also heard that the eldest lady has agreed to Chang Daren's matter, it is said that next month, when her nineteenth birthday is over, she will start to handle this matter, and marry Xiaoya to Changfu, Qian Hao has recognized Chang Daren as his godfather, and even changed his surname, and he is also a person in Changfu, I am afraid that this matter will not be too hasty, follow the procedure, and the wedding date will have to wait until the end of the year. Junren, although there is not much hope, you still have to fight for it, otherwise half a year later, you will wait to drink Xiaoya's happy bar. ”

"Fight? What else can I fight for? Zhao Junren smiled miserably: "The things that the eldest lady promised to do now are gone, what hope do I have?" ”

"You kid, you're usually a very smart person, how can you be stupid when you encounter this? I'm telling you this to prepare, not to despair! You Yong said in a deep voice: "Who is the eldest lady?" Master Lu has ceased to be a director since three years ago, and all the affairs of the family have been left to the eldest lady to deal with, a person who can shoulder such a heavy responsibility at the age of fifteen can have no heart at all? The Shuibei realm is her word hall, before Chang Daren asked for marriage, there was no warning, she was just caught off guard, and went around for a while, but Chang Daren only allowed this matter, you don't have any ideas in her heart? With that in mind, you still have hope! ”

After a little clicking, Zhao Junren came back to his senses, smiled at You Yong gratefully, and said, "Thank you general, but there is a glimmer of hope, and I will never give up." ”

"Well, that's fine." You Yong nodded with satisfaction, as if he had just discovered Jiang Yun, and asked, "Who is this little brother?" ”

"He is my distant cousin, he has never entered the city, he said that he wanted to see the prosperity of Xiayue City, and pestered me to take him around." Zhao Junren didn't want to do much, and said casually: "General, check it, I still have to send the fish to the Lu Mansion." ”

"What else to check? The old Zhao family has sent fish to the Lu family for six lifetimes, if you have problems, there is no one in this city who is credible, let's go. You Yong waved his hand, squinted at Jiang Yun, and turned around and instructed, "Let them enter the city!" ”

Jiang Yun dragged the wooden cart and secretly glanced at Zhao Junren, seeing that his complexion had returned to normal, but the worry in his eyes always lingered. The corners of his lips hooked, and he already had a plan in his heart.

Feelings are for women! Say it earlier, it's only three hundred taels, the master uses his brain, and he can get it for you in minutes, as for how hard it is to toss for four years? He could also return the favor earlier, wave his sleeves, and not take away a single cloud.

But now it seems that silver is no longer enough to solve the problem. In any case, I have to think of a way to fulfill this dead-eyed boy, otherwise I won't want to pay off this debt for the rest of my life.

As for the entry point, I'm afraid it will have to fall on the eldest lady... The little fox's eyes narrowed quietly.
