The two of them walked outside the house and looked at the Li family outside the house and cried.

Runye has always been indifferent to this situation, and Zhu Hongyu felt uncomfortable in her heart. I thought that the Lu family was already the hardest and poorest, but I didn't expect this family to make her even more uncomfortable. At the beginning, Runye was right, there were many hardships in this world that she had never seen.

Li Xian walked in front of Zhu Hongyu, took advantage of the atmosphere to get here, and knelt down for Zhu Hongyu at once.

"Miss, that's it for our family, I still have a stupid daughter-in-law lying on the bed. If you are willing to spare my life, I will definitely make you a cow and a horse in the next life. ”

"I don't believe in any afterlife...... Li Xie, you can go with me. Let's go to Zhenwu Temple to have a look. ”

When Li Xi heard Zhu Hongyu's words, he quickly stood up. turned around and wiped away the tears on his face, and after explaining a word or two to his child, he patted his eldest son Li Yi on the shoulder.

After explaining some important things to Li Yi, Li Xi no longer had any worries. He slowly stood up, turned around, and walked towards the three of them with a deathly expression.

"Miss, my business is done, let's go."

Runye walked in front of the group, leading the way to Zhenwu Temple for the other three people, Zhu Hongyu and Li Xian followed, and Chang Pingchuan walked last.

A few people walked a few steps, and Zhu Hongyu looked at Li Xian and sighed, her eyes were full of tenderness.

"Li Xie, after all these years, have you ever thought about finding a serious business?"

"Serious ......" Li Xi thought back on his past life and shook his head repeatedly, "I have been doing farming for generations, and I finally learned a craft, but I still fight." I also want to be a good person, but can I go back now? ”

Runye wanted to laugh when she heard this, and said, "Put down the butcher's knife and become a Buddha on the ground." If you want to, who can stop you? ”

"Being a good person can't support your family, but being a bad person can at least get peace in front of you."

Zhu Hongyu admitted that this is a good point, but in the face of his current situation, it is correct.

"I can't bear to see your family like this, why don't I help you."

When Zhu Hongyu said this, Li Xian seemed to be shocked. He never believed that he had dug up the ancestral grave of the Zhu Hongyu family, and Zhu Honggu could still "help him".

Seeing that Li Xian didn't reply, Zhu Hongyu asked angrily, "What?" Or do you continue to want to be a grave robber? ”

Li Xian hurriedly waved his hand and said, "I know that I am deeply guilty, and I really dare not hope that Miss can forgive me." ”

Zhu Hongyu heard Li Xian say this, and laughed from the bottom of her heart. She has a key thing for Li to do right now, and she also wants his eldest son to come over as a hostage.

Although she is soft-hearted, she also knows very well that she wants to be kind and powerful to people like Li Xie.

"We'll have lunch at the Zhenwu Temple in a while, and I'll talk to you about it."

The group walked out of Qianmo in the field, and soon walked on the main road, and walked for more than ten minutes to arrive at the end of the village - the Zhenwu Temple at the foot of the mountain.

Zhenwu Temple heavy eaves and tiles, with copper burning and casting tiles, with fragrant wood as the body, with Taishan stone as the base, with Fuling white bricks as paving stones, every brick and tile of this building is extremely luxurious. In contrast, the Sanguan Temple where Runye lives is simply a small broken temple.

Although this temple is extremely luxurious, there is not even a gatekeeper, and these poor villagers are unmoved by the "gold and silver mountains".

Entering the temple gate, there were no more people burning incense, and a child in a shabby robe was sweeping in the courtyard, and Runye recognized this person as Rong Bao.

Rong Bao saw Runye coming, and gave Runye a fist salute, Runye returned a salute, Zhu Hongyu had just arrived, and in order to show his sincerity, he also gave Rongbao a salute.

"Rong Bao, why don't you see anyone in the temple? You're the only one left? ”

"It's not a coincidence that you came, Master and a few senior brothers went to Yunmeng Town to run errands, and only me and Rong Xi were left in the temple."

Runye let out an "oh" and looked at Zhu Hongyu very embarrassed. Zhu Hongyu said that it didn't matter, where to eat is not to eat.

"By the way, fellow Daoist, have you eaten? Before leaving, Master instructed us that if someone from the Tao came, stay and eat. ”

"That's great."

Runye heard Rong Bao say this, and hurriedly led a few people to the dining hall. Zhu Hongyu is really helpless, how can this Runye be like a poor family with relatives who come here to eat.

"Runye, I think we'd better eat outside...... On the way here, I saw a shop selling mixed noodles, so it's better to ......."

"Just eat here, and you can talk about things."

Runye said a word, and blocked Zhu Hongyu's proposal back, of course, Zhu Hongyu felt that she could eat anywhere, but it was inconvenient for people! Runye, isn't your EQ a little low! You eat all this kind of rice.

Fortunately, although Rong Bao is a child, his EQ is higher than that of Runye, so he first took people to the guest hall, and then asked Rong Xi to hurry up and steam a big pot of rice.

The meals in the temple are generally very simple, just like the meal that Zhu Hongyu entertained Du Yuexiao in Sanguan Temple, a large pot of mixed rice with a pickled vegetable is a meal. The food was also enjoyed by the guests.

The guest hall of Zhenwu Temple is decorated with simple and beautiful interiors, with wenge tables and round stools, showing the wealth of the past.

It is hard to imagine that such an elegantly decorated, low-key and luxurious place is located in the poorest village under the jurisdiction of Yunmeng Town.

To say that this officialdom is corrupt, ten years of Qing Governor's Mansion, 100,000 snowflakes of silver. But I didn't expect that in this temple, the monks who should have no desire and no desire are also willing to decorate this place with luxury.

The fresh smell of wood rushes into the nostrils, and the carved window lattices shine on the floor, leaving clusters of light in the columns. The group walked through the narrow inner walkway of the house and walked towards the dining hall of the Guandi Temple. The bright red petals of the leaves peek through the window, and the branches of the flowers are spread like a quiet oil painting.

The inside of the hall is also clean and simple. The square table surrounds the bench, and even the table is painted, which shows that it is very valuable.

The four of them sat down, Rong Bao served fragrant tea to the four of them, Runye sat due north, Zhu Hongyu sat in the east, Li Xi sat in the west, and Chang Pingchuan sat in the south.

The four men put their arms on the table, not knowing what to say for a moment.

Runye picked up the teacup first, he came here mainly to give Zhu Hongyu a place to talk, and the elderly and children in Li's family were inevitably embarrassed to talk about his errand.

Runye took a sip of tea, quickly broke the silence, and asked, "Bringing you here, I just want to hear about Zhu Hongyu's plans." ”

Zhu Hongyu looked at Li Xian, revealing a gentle expression.

"Li Xie, if you dig my family's grave, I won't pursue this kind of thing. I accumulate virtue and do good, and I also want you to be a good person. ”

Li Xian cowered and didn't dare to move, and asked, "Can you be a good person?" ”

Zhu Hongyu nodded, she was rich, and Li was powerful. Those who have money will pay, and those who have power will have their own place.

"I want you to show our family's grave."

As soon as these words came out, the four were shocked.

Runye thinks Zhu Hongyu is crazy? Let the weasel watch the chicken coop, can the chicken fall well?

Zhu Hongyu is not stupid, and she is not crazy either. She knows what she wants and what she doesn't want.

If her parents' graves were equipped with luxurious burial goods, then she would not have hired Li Xie. But there was no burial in her parents' grave, and in order to prevent the troublesome thieves from digging it open, it would not be a loss to hire a Li to carry it down.

Seeing that Li Xian didn't answer, Zhu Hongyu intervened and asked, "Li Xian, are you dissatisfied with my arrangement?" ”

"No, no, no, that's not what I meant."

Li sat up and waved his hand at Zhu Hongyu repeatedly. He definitely didn't mean that, but he couldn't believe that Zhu Hongyu actually hired him to look at the grave.

Judging from the funeral goods of the family, they are poor, and even more difficult than ordinary families. But when he stepped on the spot, he also saw that the servants of the master, with a dozen people, burned gold and silver, the gold leaf and gold leaf were real gold and silver, not stains.

For Zhu Hongyu, Li Xian felt that it was unfathomable.

"Then let's talk about salary." Zhu Hongyu propped up her hand, supported her chin with her hand, and looked at Li Xian with a smile.

"Salary...... This ......"

As for the salary, Li Xian can't imagine it, just like his identity as a tomb robber, which is an embarrassing topic.

Zhu Hongyu does not shy away from it, unlike the ancients. She has one thing to say, and she has the same personality as Du Yuexiao.

"My family is three dollars a month, and I will give you this price."

Hearing this price, Li Xi was a little embarrassed. He didn't know whether he should agree or discuss with Zhu Hongyu. Three coins of silver was more than enough to feed him alone, but the family below him had a plague this year, and the price of rice was expensive......

Seeing Li Xian embarrassed, Zhu Hongyu was even happier.

"By the way, I see that your eldest son is nine years old this year, right?"

"Yes...... Only nine years old......"

Speaking of which, Li Xian was even more confused, a nine-year-old doll, could it be that Zhu Hongyu was also called to work? But...... That's too young, isn't it? Besides, this is his eldest son, and he can't bear it......

"I happen to have a younger brother at home, who is about the same age as your son. He always reads alone, and only one gentleman teaches. There is a home school in the house, but the children are lonely. I want to take your son as my brother's scholar and study with him on weekdays. After school, I help the young master pack up his stationery, and live in the house every day, and you can come down the mountain at any time to have a look. ”

Zhu Hongyu proposed, obviously this proposal was the result of her thinking for a long time. Otherwise, there would not be a lot of witty words like this.

"This ......"

Li Xian hesitated, he knew that the identity of a slave and maid was not good, if this matter was known to the government, their family would not even be a peasant. He doesn't care, it's just his son......

"By the way, if there is a imperial examination in the future, I will let your son go to the examination with my brother. You are in this place, he can't read for the rest of his life...... I don't know if it's a famine year. I gave him two pieces of silver a month. ”

Li Xian's eyes widened, he didn't want to beat his eldest son to make Zhu Hongyu pay this price, and he still had some books to read, and he could go to the exam.

Zhu Hongyu is right, in this place is to suffer and be poor, and there is still no way out in the future.

"This ...... Are you serious? I ......"

"Give your family half a tael of silver a month." Zhu Hongyu smiled and looked at Runye.

Runye immediately understood that Zhu Hongyu was killing two birds with one stone. Just help them look at the graves! It is estimated that it will be calculated on his head.

"Rundao Chief." Zhu Hongyu smiled maliciously, and there was a hint of autumn waves in her eyes, but they all smelled of copper, "Your temple...... Has it been left unattended for a long time? Let my family's grave keeper live there and clean up on weekdays, okay? ”

Runye looked at Zhu Hongyu helplessly, how did this girl calculate! No matter how cheap it is, let her take advantage of it!
