Chapter 628: Step by Step 4

Shopkeeper Yu shook his head disagreeably, his face sank slightly: "We do business to make money, but we have to be more affectionate." If you can help with a hand, you can help with it, and it will be effortless. Besides, our boss also instructed us to treat everyone who has worked hard well, and we have to count on them to help if we don't meet the day! ”

"They help us? Oh, shopkeeper, what are you kidding? Our host is ......" The young man suddenly lowered his voice and said, "Our host is the princess!" ”

"Although the scales are small, our boss said," Shopkeeper Yu glanced at the unconvinced young man lightly, "Maybe these coarse cloths can really help a lot!" ”

The young man was still not convinced, but he pursed his lips, didn't say anything more, and went about what he had to do.

Seeing Lin Ruo, Xi Yao nodded with satisfaction, thoughtful.

"There are not a few people in this world who are forced to make a living. Some people choose to get something for nothing, but some people choose to trade their hard work for what they need to make a living. For the latter, for me, helping is just a hand, but for them, it is the hope of being able to live. ”

Lin Ruo, who returned to the carriage, explained to Xijiao slowly, seemed to feel something, and opened the carriage curtain.

The carriage walked aimlessly in the city of Bian'an, this prosperous Kyoto, not everywhere is rich and prosperous, those peddlers and pawns, who is not busy for their own livelihood?

Xijiao followed Lin Ruo's gaze and happened to see the women of several families, with sallow faces, calloused hands, jinghai cloth skirts, unkempt hair, and busy working for a living: either washing and drying clothes in the cold weather, or busy cooking while coaxing children, or sewing layers of patched clothes......

She was silent.

She is the eighth princess, she has been raised by the queen's side since she was a child, pampered, even if she occasionally sneaks out of the palace, she is also to go to the place of prosperity. She had seen the homeless people who had fled due to natural disasters, hungry and cold, and ate everything, but she had never seen what the life of ordinary poor people was like.

Neither new nor old houses, barely sheltered from the wind and rain; The clothes that are neither new nor old can barely keep warm and keep away the cold; The furnishings that are neither new nor old can barely be used to the fullest; It looks like a coarse food, barely enough to feed the stomach. Day after day, repeating the same thing, boring, tedious, but having to repeat it - in order to get by.

Xijiao never thought about what would she become if she lost her identity as the eighth princess, lost the honor of the golden branches and jade leaves, lost the pampered life, lost the protection of her father and mother, and lost the palace life where everything was served? She had never thought about it before, but now, she had to face it.

If she eloped with Du Yuanzhi, this was a problem she had to face!

She is no longer a princess, she is no longer pampered, she is no longer served by anyone, she may not be reduced to the life of the poor women she has just seen, but she will certainly be very different from her days in the palace.

She swore to Lin Ruo that as long as she could be with Du Yuanzhi, as long as she could marry Du Yuanzhi, she could do anything and bear anything.

But when the price she had to pay was so real and so straightforward in front of her, she found that she seemed to ...... I can't bear it.

These days, Lin Ruo has been in the palace every day to accompany her, teach her to cook, teach her washing, and teach her tailoring, but she has spent it all in hip-hop, even if she left all kinds of scars on her hands, she only regarded these as sweet traces, as a testimony of her efforts to be with Du Yuanzhi.

However, this is not the case.

If she really eloped and fled, the black food she cooked would not be able to be eaten, the clothes she washed could not be worn again, and the clothes she made could not be avoided at all...... These are just a few of the many difficulties and trials she will face.

There was only one budding doubt, and it sprouted stubbornly again, making her panic and feel uneasy.

The panic and uneasiness quickly swept through her body, leaving her at a loss for what to do.

She wanted to ask Lin Ruo for help, but before she spoke, Lin Ruo met an acquaintance and greeted the other party with a smile: "Luo Er? You're back? ”

The leader of this group of people is Luo Wei, the unsuccessful son of Luo Sheng, the chief shopkeeper of the grain store, nicknamed Luo Er. As for the others, they are Luo Er's followers, with small servants and guards, but their father Luo Sheng is not seen in the team.

Luo Er has been a real waste since he was a child, he has achieved nothing, and he is still a scoundrel; But on the contrary, there are two people who are the most frightened in his life, one is Li Yan and the other is Lin Ruo. Who made these two people have bad water in their stomachs, and every time they tricked them, they were sinned and smashed with stones.

At this time, he should have followed his Lao Tzu in Jinling to complete the final finishing work of debt collection and granary arrangement, but he didn't expect to be the first to return to the capital!

However, it's not surprising that not long ago, didn't Li Yan take Li Xien back to Jinling?

As soon as he heard that the Great Demon King Li was coming, Luo Er was so frightened that he hurriedly slipped away!

Although Li Yan and Lin Ruo are the two "big devils" he is most afraid of, in comparison, Li Yan's existence makes him feel even more terrifying! Simply, he slipped back to the capital. Who knew that he was unlucky, as soon as he came back, before he had time to sigh at the prosperity of the imperial capital, he bumped into Lin Ruo!

This luck, hey!

In the carriage with Lin Ruo, there was another girl, who was a little younger than Lin Ruo, but the extravagance she carried between her gestures made Luo Er dare not make a mistake.

Luo Er looked at Lin Ruo in embarrassment, even if Lin Ruo was the only one in this carriage, he didn't dare to make a mistake, not to mention that there was another person in this carriage? Although Luo Er is muddy, he is still very cowardly, after a year and a half of polishing in Jiangnan, he has gained a little knowledge, and finally developed the habit of talking less and seeing more - especially in front of Lin Ruo and Li Yan, it is even more necessary to talk less and see more, and quickly slip away when the situation is wrong! This has become his subconscious reaction.

The reason why Xijiao came over to take a look was because Lin Ruo called the other party "Luo Er", and Zuo Xiang's surname was Luo, and the concubine that her father assigned her to marry was also surnamed Luo, and when she heard the surname "Luo", she couldn't help but want to investigate.

Lin Ruo understood Xijiao's thoughts, and whispered to her: "This is the son of the big shopkeeper of the grain store, who has just returned from Jiangnan to collect debts, but I didn't expect to meet it by chance." Although the surname is Luo with Zuo Xiang, it really has nothing to do with it. ”

Fortunately, it's not someone from the Zuo Prime Minister's Mansion, let alone Luo Zhe.

Xi Ji also somehow breathed a sigh of relief, nodded, bowed slightly to Luo Er, and then withdrew his face from the window. Luo Er, who was outside the carriage, was even more confused when he saw this.

Luo Er pointed to another person in the carriage and asked silently, "Who?" ”

Lin Ruo looked at Luo Er's appearance funny, kindly stretched out his hand and pointed to the sky, then lowered the curtain and left.

Luo Er repeated Lin Ruo's movements strangely, and looked up: "Heaven? Is there anything in the sky? The weather is pretty good today...... Hey, no, what does that mean? ”

The guards and servants around them looked at each other, and they all guessed who the noble man in the carriage of their owner was, but no one told Young Master Luo. Hehe, sure enough, Luo Er Luo Er, this title is still worthy of the name!
