Chapter 54: Seeking Wealth
By the time the sun had gone down at the end of the school day, he hurried to the entrance of the town, just in time to catch the last ox cart.
When it was dark, he arrived at Chu's house, but before he entered the door, he heard movement inside.
Chu Zhengxiong scolded and scolded the boss of the voice: "You lazy mother-in-law, wash the dishes until now." It's dark, the quilt hasn't been laid yet, what's the use of asking you! ”
"Child, father, didn't I just come back from the field, I'll lay the quilt in a while, you dissipate your anger, I'll pour some dishwashing water first." Zhu begged for the whole way, and after speaking, she slowly got up and walked towards the door.
After seeing Chu Shaowen at the door, the basin in Zhu's hand slipped out of his hand. As if she didn't believe it, she quickly rubbed her eyes: "Shao, Shaowen, why are you back?" ”
Chu Shaowen looked at Zhu Shi, who had messy hair and was covered with sewage and oil stains in front of him, and frowned slightly. Zhou Sheng's mother's clothes were neatly ironed, and her whole body was covered with faint incense, why was his mother like this?
Suddenly, a little resistance rose in his heart.
But Zhu only thought that her son was going home, and she couldn't help grabbing Chu Shaowen's arm with excitement, and said with pity: "Shaowen, why don't you say a word when you come back today, my mother is ......."
"Mother, two days later is a children's test, and the master deliberately let me rest for two days." Chu Shaowen cut off her words. Looking down at the pale yellow oil stains on his Confucian clothes, he quietly broke free of his arm, "When I come back this time, I have something to tell my mother, so I'll leave after speaking." ”
"What's the matter?" Zhu felt the emptiness in his hands, and the excitement in his heart suddenly faded a little.
Chu Shaowen didn't even look at her, turned around and walked into the house: "Let's talk about it tomorrow." ”
At night, Chu Shaowen couldn't fall asleep smelling the damp musty smell on the bed, and he always couldn't help but think of the big mansion he saw in Zhou Sheng's house during the day.
The house is dry and warm, and when the sun is good, the sun can shine into the house, and even the wind through the hall carries a faint incense. The food was full of all kinds of fresh fruits and all kinds of rare game, and they were not reluctant to take them out to entertain a group of them.
At this time, Chu Zhengxiong's rough snoring next door came, interrupting his thoughts.
Chu Shaowen simply sat up from the bed, looked at Mingyue outside the window and muttered, "Tongsheng...... The ring of white jade on the waist, the saber on the left, and the smell on the right, Ye Ran is like a god, and the rest is in the middle of the robe. ”
As he spoke, he clenched his fists: "Why? ”
The only thing that answered him was the cold and rotten smell of the tip of his nose.
The next day, the Zhu family got up early in the morning and prepared to go to the town to sell some meat to Chu Shaowen to replenish it. But as soon as he left the room, he was seen by Chu Shaowen, who had been sleepless all night.
"Where are you going?" Chu Shaowen walked in and asked.
Zhu looked at him and smiled lovingly: "You are going to try it as a child, my mother will go to the town to buy some meat, and come back to prepare to make up for you." ”
"In town?" Chu Shaowen muttered, and after a while, he replied, "I'll go with my mother." ”
"What were you doing in town, didn't you just come back?" Zhu thought that he was about to go back to private school, with a little reluctance in his eyes.
Chu Shaowen has no interface. Just looked at Zhu and said solemnly: "Mother, do you remember what I told you yesterday?" I have something to tell you today. ”
"What's the matter?" Zhu hurriedly said, a little nervous.
Chu Shaowen frowned slightly: "Chu Xiaoliu seems to be selling game in the town, at least a few taels of silver a day." Just yesterday, I saw a bag of silver coming from her pocket, and it was white silver. ”
"What?" Zhu exclaimed.
