Kangxi nineteenth year.

Mengjiang Town, a place outside the plug, is covered in silver, the snow has not melted since the beginning of winter, and the weather is cold as if it will be wiped off the ice ballast after exhaling in one breath.

Yugo wrapped the gray cotton robe tightly, the old north wind outlet, the cotton robe could not keep out the cold, the body suddenly seemed to be soaked in cold water, and the head was even more frozen, this solar term is wearing a fox fur hat and a dogskin hat are cold, not to mention her green linen hat, her hands covered her ears that were frozen hard, and her dusty face turned red and purple, looking blankly at the sparsely populated street, I don't know where to stay.

His father Yu Gengru was originally an envoy of the Tai Hospital, because his friend Lu Zhaoshui wrote an article on the disadvantages of the times, the words were too intense, Emperor Kangxi cut off Lu Zhaoshui's head in a fit of anger, and even the nine clans, Yu Gengru had treated Lu Zhaoshui for the disease, by his Zhulian, Kangxi remembered that he was loyal, did not behead, but sent to Mengjiang Town, Yugo's already weak mother could not withstand the heavy blow and a life whining, and shouted injustice at the end of his life, and his mother's appearance of death was firmly engraved in Yugo's heart, she followed her father all the way to Mengjiang Town, vowed to clear his father's injustice in order to comfort his mother's soul in heaven.

I don't know where the military camp is, I heard that my father was originally going to be sent to Ningguta, and later Jilin General Ba Yi went to the imperial court, saying that in the summer, the Mengjiang River rainstorm washed away the river embankment and flooded the fertile land, and the people in the field were sparsely populated and the river workers were not enough, and I hoped that some criminals would be sent to the Mengjiang River to dredge the river to build the embankment.

Yu Dai thought that he had to find a place to live first, but he spent all the entanglements, and the guest house became a big problem, and suddenly there was a wail: "The shopkeeper's line is okay, and it will be done to give a steamed bun, otherwise this life will not survive the New Year." ”

Tamago followed the sound and saw that a ragged beggar was lying at the door of a restaurant not far from her, reaching out to the guy who came out of the restaurant to beg.

Yugo's heart was moved, and the people took food as the sky, so they simply went out to eat food.

Look left and right, there is no second restaurant nearby, there is still the old beggar at the door of this house, it is not good to rob other people's business, Yugo went to the street, gradually, this small town outside the plug shows a little bit of prosperity, there are more shops, pedestrians are dense, because of the New Year, people are on the street to buy New Year's goods, the traffic is busy, the red dust is rolling.

Begging, it sounds like the easiest craft, in fact, there are many doorways, first of all, you have to show a face, Yu Yu took a deep breath and mustered up his courage, and stretched out his hand to a rich and noble man passing by, the old man covered the money bag on his waist and asked sharply: "What are you doing?" ”

Yugo was stunned: "That...... Brother, your hat is crooked. ”

The rich old man said thank you and hurried away.

Tamagoa patted his head in annoyance, and reached out to a middle-aged woman for the second time.

The other party was stunned: "Young man, I don't know how to read palmistry." ”

Tamago retracted his hand and touched his embarrassed face: "I'm disturbed." ”

At last she found that she was not a beggar's fodder at all, but she was hungry, and she stood on the street and looked around blankly, when she suddenly found a large number of people gathered at the door of an inn, and they were gesturing around an old willow tree.

Yugo ran over curiously, it turned out that it was the co-leader Sun's family to recruit the nursing home, everyone was eager to try, the co-leader Sun was the highest local official, and it was a very honorable thing to be able to go to his home to do the nursing home, so everyone hugged and squeezed back, and Yugo squeezed in, standing unsteadily and falling on the back of the young man in front.

The boyish turned around and just wanted to scold, but for some reason, he had a good eye for Yugo, and turned his anger into a smile: "Hey, little brother, you want to try it too?" ”

Yugo was stunned: "Huh? ”

The boy repeated: "I mean, you also want to apply for a job as a nurse?" ”

Yugo didn't mean this, after all, it was a man's business to be a nursing home, but when she asked this young man, she suddenly thought, if she can't beg for food and has no other means to make a living, it's better to be a nursing home, what's wrong with women, Hua Mulan can still go to the battlefield, there were dozens of nursing homes in her own home, and she just wandered around the house every night, this is easy, so she said: "Well, I want to try." ”

The young man grabbed her hand: "Great, just let us go together as a companion and go." ”

Tamago hurriedly shook off his hand and rubbed his hand against his robe.

The young man didn't notice Yugo's embarrassment at all, and enthusiastically pulled her all the way to the mansion of the co-leader Sun Lushan, explained his intention at the door, and the porter let them in, there were too many people who applied for jobs in the past two days, but there were very few left, the porter looked at the slimmed Yugo and shook his head, and said that this must be a happy return, and then pointed them around the shadow wall is the courtyard, this is Lord Sun himself, I heard that until now none of them have successfully applied for it.

Yugo and the young man came to the courtyard in front of him according to Menzi's instructions, and looked, ho, the outside of the plug is really sparsely populated, and the yard of a co-leader's house can be used as a school field, this yard is square, this is the middle of winter, and there are no flowers and plants, so the yard is extraordinarily large.

It was cold, and the co-leader Sun Lushan sat on the chair, and the white vapor exhaled was like a cloud of mist lingering around him, while his eyes were staring at the several applicants in front of him, and he frowned and said to Sun Fu, the housekeeper beside him: "Such a big Mengjiang Town, the young and strong Housheng has gone to the sea, how come they are all old guys?" ”

Sun Fu replied: "Adults don't know, young and strong descendants dream of making a fortune, and they only think about going up the mountain to dig a mallet when the day is warm, where can they be our nursing home." ”

Sun Lushan snorted: "His mother's mallet is a divine grass, anyone can dig it." ”

Sun Fu said again: "In the past few years, the trading of medicinal materials in Mengjiang Town has improved, and old customers from other places have crowded to us, probably those young people still want to make a fortune with medicinal materials." ”

The imperial court closed the outside of the pass, the thunder was heavy and the rain was small, in order to be sparsely populated outside the pass, and a large amount of manpower was needed to reclaim the famine, and the trade of medicinal materials in the Mengjiang region began to be active.

Sun Lushan snorted coldly: "Without Lao Tzu's order, I see which one dares to drum out the medicinal herbs, let's get rid of all of them, I am hiring a nurse, not a lack of father." ”

Sun Fu waved his hand at the old applicants: "Go, go, it's all useless." ”

The applicants sighed and left.

The distance was far away, and I couldn't hear Sun Lushan's conversation here, but seeing that they were all driven away, Yuwu also retreated: "There are many auspicious ones, let's go too." ”

Unexpectedly, the young man stopped her: "They are them, we are us, go, go." ”

Yugo dragged him to Sun Lushan, who was about to go back to the house, and the young man said, "Adult, let's try." ”

Full of energy, more confident, Sun Lushan glanced at the two, the young man wore a green satin cotton jacket, neither new nor old, that is to say, he is not poor or rich, a slippery big braid is coiled on the top of his head, he doesn't even wear a hat on this cold day, he still stands upright, and his spirit is very strong, and the other one is too thin, wearing a fat coarse cotton robe, tied around his waist with a cloth belt that is twisted into twist, and his hands are copied in his sleeves, shivering from the cold.

Sun Lushan smiled, these two are really young, so tender that they can pinch out the water, about seventeen or eighteen years old, and one has thick eyebrows and big eyes, the other is clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes, and has a good appearance, Sun Lushan suddenly liked it, and asked, "You know kung fu?" ”

The young man took the pride of a newborn calf who was not afraid of tigers: "I have learned, but I am useless as a hero." ”

Sun Lushan looked at Yugo.

Yugo was nervous, and it was too late to speak, and she said in her youth: "If you dare to apply for a nursing home, of course you will work hard." ”

Sun Lushan said: "Okay, now, please make a few strokes for the official to see." ”

The young man pulled Yugo: "Brother, you come first." ”

Tamago: "Ah! ”
