Chapter 557: Taking Refuge

Zhou Shuren recalled Deng Xiucai, when he came to the capital to buy a house, Deng Xiucai helped a lot, Zhao Bo's friend, yes, he remembered that Deng Xiucai had a brother-in-law who was a household waiter, right or left, not long ago, he just copied a house, the waiter was beheaded, and the family seemed to be relegated to the ancestral land for three generations not allowed to conduct scientific examinations.

Bringing people in, Zhou Shuren almost didn't recognize Deng Xiucai, Deng Xiucai was dressed decently in the past, holding a fan in his hand, but now the coarse cloth clothes and the hairpin on his head have been replaced with wood, and he is much older.

Therefore, Zhou Shuren is clear, it is Deng Xiucai's brother-in-law who copied the house, yes, Deng Xiucai's cheap brother-in-law had a little thin noodles in the capital back then, and it was all a relationship network, so Deng Xiucai's brother-in-law had problems from beginning to end.

Deng Xiucai's fingers stirred his sleeves, the temperature in the room was very warm, and the temperature that came up was a little itchy, and his eyes were a little uneasy, "Big, my lord." ”

Zhou Shuren retracted his gaze, so it's better to rely on yourself than on anyone, how beautiful it was before the backing of the mountain fell, and how depressed it is now, "Deng Xiucai, we are also old acquaintances, sit." ”

Deng Xiucai saw that it was not a kind word, and sat down cautiously, "Master Xie." ”

Zhou Shuren didn't ask why he was so down, he could guess that Deng Xiucai's family was not peaceful at the beginning, the family house was restless, and the backer fell, and the family naturally fell apart, "Drink tea." ”

Deng Xiucai took a sip of tea, how long has he not drunk such a good tea, thinking of his current home, only he and his son are left, his parents died, his mother and son were separated, heh, and he also took away his daughter, who let his daughter grow well, and the young son was left to himself.

Zhou Shuren's eyes fell on Deng Xiucai's feet, only a pair of cloth shoes, and sighed, Deng Xiucai made a lot of money, but without a backer, it would be a disaster, "Why don't you leave?" ”

Deng Xiucai clenched the teacup, why didn't he leave, because he was unwilling, "What about going back, trapped in the ancestral land and not knowing when I will be able to come out?" ”

He was reluctant to leave, because he knew that once he left the capital, it would be difficult to come back.

Zhou Shuren saw the unwillingness in Deng Xiucai's eyes, "You have been waiting for me?" ”

He couldn't think of anyone else who could become the hope in Deng Xiucai's heart.

Deng Xiucai's heart was raised, nervous, he was indeed gambling, although he had been bullied and barely starved to death, but he had the foundation, and he was still able to find out the news, Lord Zhou, the more he inquired, the more hopeful he became, "Yes." ”

Zhou Shuren recognized Deng Xiucai's ability, and he had a very good set of three teachings and nine streams, "You came to take refuge?" ”

On the premise of straightforwardness and unequal impartiality, there is no need to beat around the bush.

Deng Xiucai slowed down his breathing to calm himself down, he needed to calm down, "Yes, I am willing to work hard for adults." ”

Zhou Shuren climbed up all the way, received a lot of people, and experienced a lot of people, there are not many people who can make him remember, but there is one in front of him, and now he has experienced downfall, and his mind is firmer, "Then prove to me, your ability." ”

Deng Xiucai's eyes were ecstatic, he didn't expect it to be so smooth, and he couldn't believe it, "My lord, don't you check?" ”

Zhou Shuren smiled, "I mean to prove it to me, if there is an inspection period, the certificate will stay, and those who fail will leave." ”

Deng Xiucai laughed at himself, how could a person who had climbed to the prefect of Jinzhou in just a few years believe him, but he really didn't take refuge in anyone, his eyes were firm, "I will prove it." ”

Zhou Shuren snorted, stretched out his hand to touch the purse, and then his hand froze, the silver in the purse was almost spent, it seemed that there were not many taels, he knew that he would have left some, he didn't give the silver, he couldn't do it, from Deng Xiucai's dress, he knew that the situation was difficult, "You eat some snacks and sit for a while." ”

Deng Xiucai was already hungry, but he didn't dare to move, "Yes." ”

Deng Xiucai waited for the adults to leave, his heart was extremely complicated, he didn't take it seriously when he met for the first time, and Zhou Shuren became a role model again, now he needs to look up, silently pick up the pastry, he hasn't eaten it for a long time, his stomach is shouting, and he laughs lowly, so climb up!

Zhou Shuren called for caution and prudence, "How many taels of silver do you have now?" ”

Jin Yan was stunned, "More than a thousand taels." ”

Shen Xing blinked his eyes, what is the adult doing here, his eyes were a little floating, when he didn't follow the adult, he didn't resell the antiques to save his family, tangled, "Five, five thousand taels." ”

Zhou Shuren was silent, so did he ask something terrible? These two men really have money, and prudence is the deepest hidden!

Shen Xing found himself exposed, and he was nervous, so he and Jin Yan were stupid?

Zhou Shuren coughed, "Lend me a hundred taels of silver first." ”

Cautious and silent, Zhou Shuren saw that his head was full of black lines, "So, you didn't bring any silver?" ”

Jin Yan laughed dryly, "My lord, what kind of silver do we bring with us when we go out with you?" ”

In the past, you didn't have to spend your own money.

Shen Xing touched his purse and shook out less than a tael of broken silver, "That's all." ”

Zhou Shuren was depressed and wanted to vomit blood, why didn't he find out that these two people were also picking it before? Staring at less than a tael of broken silver, Zhou Shuren gritted his teeth, "Aren't you afraid of no silver when you go out without silver?" ”

Jin Yan looked at the sky, "Cough, which adult, there are still a lot of robberies and robberies, and it's okay to come out along with some of them." ”

Shen Xing answered, "And the government has a wanted warrant for arrest, and if you run out of money in your hand, you will take one or two jobs." ”

Zhou Shuren, "......."

So it's just right not to spend a penny on yourself.

Zhou Shuren gritted his teeth, to put it bluntly, he still needs to borrow silver, pit, I don't know much in the capital, I can't borrow it after a round, and in the end, it was Lord Wang who saved his life, "Excuse me, cough, when you go to Wang's mansion to see Lord Wang, you will say that I will borrow a hundred taels of silver." ”

"Yes." ”

Zhou Shuren was very embarrassed when he returned to the hall, who would have thought that he had no money in his purse, and only when he saw Deng Xiucai looked at him, "Who else is there at home now?" ”

Deng Xiucai ate a few pieces of dim sum and was not hungry, and he had enough confidence to speak, "There is also a son who follows me, six years old." ”

Zhou Shuren frowned, "Where do you live?" ”

Deng Xiucai lowered his head, "In the civilian area of Beicheng, I rented a room. ”

"The child is home alone."

Deng Xiucai pursed his lips, he is really not a good father, he can't cook, and he has a six-year-old child to take care of him, "Yes." ”

Zhou Shuren ordered the table, "Bring the child over, tomorrow the child will go back to Jinzhou with me." ”

Deng Xiucai understood in his heart that Lord Zhou was not merciful, but choked the child, and still didn't trust him, but his son would definitely be taken care of when he arrived at the Zhou Mansion, "Yes." ”

Zhou Shuren called Shen Xing over and asked Deng Xiucai to pick up the child back.

Jinzhou Zhou Mansion, the doctor has already left, Zhulan looked at Su Xuan, who had not yet returned to her senses, well, she was not pregnant, she really pitted herself!
