South of the palace outside the palace, the ninth small street of the third lane of Nanda Street.

A thatched hut and a bamboo fence.

Su House.

This is Su Zecai's home.

He hadn't been back to this home for a long time, it was the only real home he had since he was a child, and when he came back, he had cleaned up and down, and it was spotless.

In the bedroom, on the bed, there are the corpses of Concubine Li Niangniang and Princess Yurou, the former is her biological mother, and the latter is her half-sister.

They were poisoned to death.

He believed in his heart that the death of his mother and sister was at the hands of Princess Qingtian, that is, the current emperor and his former lover - Murong Qingtian.

Although, in fact, this is not the case.

However, he thinks so.

This, not surprising.

Because, his mother, once killed her mother.

Now, these old grievances, right and wrong, are meaningless at the moment.

He and her have been cut in two, and the grievances have been over, and they have been strangers since then.

Right now, the most important thing in his heart is to prepare for the burial of his mother and sister's bodies.

This is a difficult thing for him, a great difficulty.

He left Princess Qingtian, didn't ask for anything, didn't take anything from her, and he was penniless except for the clothes, pants, boots and socks he was wearing.

Nor did the family have any savings, not a tael of silver.

Looking at the corpses of Concubine Li Niangniang and Princess Yurou, he couldn't help but blame and resented himself: "Mother, sister, I'm really useless, I can't even get your coffin money, but don't worry, no matter how depressed I am, I won't ask for the slightest charity from that Murong Qingtian!" ”

Although he said it so easily, he was very embarrassed in his heart: "What should I do? How do you make money? ”

Painting for sale?

This is not good, although I can paint, but I am not a master painter, I am not very good at painting, and even if I can sell it, I can't sell it for much silver.

Go to labor?

This is not good, the funeral expenses for two people are not a small amount, and the labor costs are pitifully low, a drop in the bucket, far from enough.

Sold into slavery?

This will work, and the money should be settled, as long as you sell yourself for a hundred taels, the funeral expenses will be enough.

That's all it can do!

That's it!

Su Zecai made up his mind, got up and went out of the house, ready to get a sign and come back to write a notice of selling himself.

As soon as I arrived at the main hall, I saw Liang Yuanjin coming towards me.

He stopped, frowning.

Liang Yuanjin entered the main hall and smiled at him, but the smile was a little unnatural: "Brother Su, don't come unharmed." ”

Su Zecai looked at him silently and didn't answer.

Liang Yuanjin was still smiling: "What? Don't you welcome me? ”

Su Zecai still didn't answer.

Suddenly......

He had a flash of inspiration, his eyes lit up, as if he had thought of something.

That's right!

You can ask Liang Yuanjin for this silver thing!

At the beginning, he was "forced to marry" by the eldest princess Princess Yanmeng, and he once gave him advice and successfully solved the matter, rejecting Princess Yanmeng, in exchange, and made an oath with him, if he has any difficulties in the future, he can ask him for a favor, this favor can now come in handy!

He smiled slightly: "Brother Liang said that he laughed, Brother Liang is here, how could I not welcome it?" Please, please be seated. ”

"Brother Su, please."

"Brother Liang, please."

The two sat down at the table.

Su Zecai lied and said, "Don't hide it, I was just about to go to Brother Liang." ”

"Looking for me?" Liang Yuanjin was confused and at a loss.

Su Zecai nodded and said solemnly: "That's right, I was planning to ask Brother Su for some silver to bury my mother and sister, you know, I was originally a humble and poor painter, and without Murong Qingtian, I have nothing." ”

"That's easy to say." Liang Yuanjin immediately took out a stack of silver tickets from his arms and handed them to him, "I happen to have 50,000 taels of silver on me, you can use it!" If it's not enough, you name it, and I'll go back to my house and get it right away!" ”

Su Zecai hesitated for a moment, took the silver ticket and put it in his arms, and said, "No need, these are enough." ”

Liang Yuanjin smiled: "Brother Su has any needs, just ask." ”

Su Zecai said seriously: "Brother Liang, when you were 'forced to marry' by the eldest princess, I gave you advice and rejected her, do you remember this?" ”

Liang Yuanjin thought for a while and said, "Of course I remember, this matter is thanks to Brother Su's advice, otherwise I really don't know what to do at that time." ”

"Then I swore to you that I would ask you to help me if I needed help in the future."

"That's right, that's right."

"Now, you've done you a favor."

"Brother Su, you will see the outside world when you say this."

Su Zecai said solemnly: "Otherwise, if it weren't for this reason, if you gave one or two pieces of silver, I wouldn't ask for it, I hope you can understand!" ”

Liang Yuanjin nodded heavily: "I understand." ”

The two were silent for a moment......

Su Zecai opened his mouth and asked: "If you have nothing to do, you will go to the Three Treasures Palace, if Brother Liang comes to me for something, please tell me straight to the point!" ”

"I'm ......," Liang Yuanjin was about to speak.

Su Zecai interrupted him again: "If it is about the grievances and grievances between me and Murong Qingtian, I hope that Brother Liang can avoid opening his mouth, I and her have already been cut in two, and the two are clear, please don't involve me and her again!" ”

"That's it, alas!" Liang Yuanjin sighed helplessly, "What are your plans in the future?" ”

Su Zecai did not hesitate, and immediately replied: "Maybe I will stay in the capital, or I may go away, I haven't made up my mind yet." ”

Liang Yuanjin begged: "Then can you promise me to stay in the capital for the time being?" ”

Liang Yuanjin's intentions are very simple, first, Princess Qingtian still loves him, and leaving him in the capital can be regarded as leaving a thought for Princess Qingtian, and second, leaving Su Zecai in the capital, maybe he will be able to catch the real murderer one day and prove to him that this is not Princess Qingtian's doing, maybe one day he will be able to get lost and return to accept Princess Qingtian.

In any case, it is much better than going far away and flying high, and people going to tea and cool.

Su Zecai didn't ask why, he knew that Liang Yuanjin wanted to stay in the capital by himself, just for Princess Qingtian, he said: "Okay, I promise you, however, I also have requirements, first, I hope you don't come to me again to say here and there, don't disturb me, otherwise, I will leave the capital immediately, Brother Liang, I think you should know, what do I mean by you." ”

"I understand, I will tell Zhao Xiaomei, Wu Jieyan, and Wei Tianhao."

"It's good that you understand, second, I hope you don't secretly send people to keep an eye on me."

"That's not staring at you, it's protecting you!"

"That's not going to work either!"

Liang Yuanjin's face was full of helplessness: "Okay! I promise you everything. ”

Su Zecai smiled with satisfaction: "That's good." ”

Liang Yuanjin suddenly asked, "Do you want to know how she is?" ”

Of course, Su Zecai understood who Liang Yuanjin was talking about, but he didn't want to mention her, and he didn't want to know anything about her, so he was silent and pretended to be deaf and dumb.

Liang Yuanjin said to herself: "Don't think about tea and rice, wash your face with tears, I won't talk about this, I will only tell you one thing, she said, in her life, except for you, who has hugged her and kissed her, she will never marry anyone!" ”

Su Zecai smiled bitterly and spoke: "I also bother you to tell her that I am the same as her in my life." ”

Liang Yuanjin still wanted to say something, but he didn't know what to say, so he had to get up and leave: "You take care, if you need anything, just come to Suwangfu to find me." ”

Su Zecai got up and sent it off: "I won't send it far." ”

Liang Yuanjin looked at him deeply, turned around and left.

Su Zecai saw him away, and couldn't help but shake his head and sigh bitterly: "If you don't marry for the rest of your life, am I ruining her happiness?" Or did she ruin my happiness......"
