"Be your apprentice?" When Chen Changsheng heard this, his head shook like a rattle, thinking to himself who he was an apprentice, and he didn't want to be your apprentice.

"What? You're not happy! Boy, I can tell you, as my apprentice, not only do you not have to be a little beggar, but you also have a big house to live in, three meals a day is a rich meal, I will accept you as an apprentice, that is your boy's ancestral grave is smoking. The old Taoist priest bragged again.

Chen Changsheng pointed to his clothes and said, "Then why are you dressed like me, in tattered clothes?" ”

The old Taoist priest looked at his clothes, they were indeed too torn, the clothes he had been wearing for a few years, he was in a hurry just now and was hung by a branch, and he opened a big gap, and he looked like a beggar. I couldn't help but be dumbfounded for a while, but finally thought about it and said, "I...... I don't expose my wealth, you kid knows something. If you follow me, my inheritance of ten thousand taels of silver will be yours, and this is a trap that fell from the sky, what do you think? ”

If the old Taoist priest didn't brag, others might still believe him, and if he brags like this, he will only be a fool. Of course, Chen Changsheng was not a fool, he naturally didn't believe all this that the old Taoist priest said. After all, how could a stinking and sloppy old Taoist priest have an inheritance of tens of thousands of silver taels, and if he really had, he would not be mixed into a tattered shirt like Chen Changsheng.

The more Chen Changsheng listened, the more he felt that this old man was unreliable, it was true that the old man had saved him before, but he felt that it was not necessarily true that he would encounter a catastrophe soon. Maybe the old man deliberately scared him, in order to take him as an apprentice.

Thinking like this, Chen Changsheng said: "Old man, I don't want to be a Taoist priest, thank you for your kindness." The grace of saving life, when the spring reciprocates, whoever asks Mr. to say his name, will be rewarded in the future. ”

"Old Dao, my name is Liuqiu, I live in Xuanxuguan in the western suburbs of Chang'an, if you want to be my apprentice, go there to find me when the time comes!" The old Taoist priest couldn't help but sigh when he saw that Chen Changsheng didn't believe what he said.

Chen Changsheng was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help but be amused by this old man, and said with a smile: "I know you're very good, but I don't know your name yet." ”

"My name is Liuqiu!"

"I know you're awesome, I mean names."

"The surname is Liu, and the name is Bi. Liu Bi! The old Taoist priest rolled his eyes and said, "Everyone in the rivers and lakes calls me Liu Banxian, you can call me Liu Banxian in the future!" ”

When Chen Changsheng heard this, he only felt that a flock of crows flew above his head, and a few black lines hung down from his forehead, and he was almost killed by lightning. But he found the name interesting, because the old man was so fond of bragging.

"This place is deserted, not a place to stay for a long time, if you have nowhere to go, I advise you to enter Chang'an City. If there is something in the future, go to the Xuanxuguan in the western suburbs of Chang'an City to find this way, I think we will meet again. After saying this, the old Taoist priest turned and left. Soon disappeared into the night......

Glancing at the eerie and terrifying mass grave behind him, Chen Changsheng couldn't help but shudder, and didn't dare to stop any longer, so he hurriedly rushed in the direction of Chang'an City. Of course, he didn't plan to go to the Xuanxuan Temple in Chang'an City to find the old way, but to go to Chang'an City to find a job.

After a night of traveling, Chen Changsheng finally entered Chang'an City the next morning.

Chang'an City is a big city, the city is full of palaces, majestic and towering, the layout of the city is symmetrical, the city square is neat, the streets extend in all directions, the shops of all walks of life are open on the street, the streets are crowded with people, it can be described as a prosperous place.

When Chen Changsheng came to this big city, he looked at the busy traffic and the endless stream of pedestrians, and he was a little at a loss. I asked all the way to the shops on the street if I needed to hire a small worker, and after looking for a long time, none of the shops wanted to use him, and they all regarded him as a beggar.

Disheartened, he sat at the bridge on the side of the street in the evening, and sighed when he thought of what had happened to him these days. He was hungry, and although his clothes were in tatters, he didn't want to beg for food.

In a drowsy state, Chen Changsheng noticed that a footstep stopped in front of him, so he slowly opened his eyes and looked up, and sure enough, there was a middle-aged man in his forties standing in front of him.

The man took out a few copper coins from his pocket and handed them to Chen Changsheng, apparently treating him as a beggar.

Chen Changsheng looked at the copper coin that the man handed him in front of him, and wanted to take it, but finally shook his head, his face full of sorrow.

When the man saw that Chen Changsheng didn't want copper coins, he couldn't help frowning and feeling a little strange, so he asked him: "I saw that you had been sitting here for an afternoon, as if you were hungry, why didn't you take it and buy a few steamed buns?" ”

Chen Changsheng knew that he was kind-hearted, so he replied: "My little brother has been here here, although he hasn't eaten for two days, he just wants to find a job, and he doesn't beg for food, thank you brother for his kindness." ”

"Oh? In fact, I also saw that the little brother looked like a talent, not like a beggar. But how did you get mixed up like this? The man wondered.

Chen Changsheng had nowhere to tell his worries, and when he saw the man in front of him asking, he told him what happened to his family. said that his family was originally wealthy, but he only ended up in such a situation because he was framed. I went to the city today just to find a job, to fill my stomach and have a place to live.

When the man heard this, he was very sympathetic to him, and said: "Don't hide it from my little brother, I had the same experience as you when I was young, my father was originally an official in the DPRK and China, but he was squeezed out by traitors, and finally ended up with a broken family, and I was only released from prison a few years ago, and finally opened a few shops here." ”

Chen Changsheng didn't expect that the man in front of him would have such a bleak experience, and he couldn't help but look at it differently.

"Little brother, when I saw you today, to be honest, it was like seeing my original self. Now that you have nowhere to stay, if you don't dislike it, why don't you go to my shop and be a bookkeeper! The man said.

When Chen Changsheng heard this, although he was overjoyed, he felt a little inappropriate, and said, "Thank you, brother, it's just that my brother and I have just met, so I'm afraid it's not appropriate to take care of the money for your store, right?" ”

"The little brother has not eaten for two days, he is hungry, and he is still unwilling to accept the money from the charity, which shows the virtue of the little brother, am I still worried that you will run away with the money? That's it, and my house is big, and there are several vacant rooms, so I'll clean up one for you, and you'll have a place to stay. When the man said this, he pointed to a shop across the street and told Chen Changsheng that it was his family.

Chen Changsheng was very grateful and hurriedly thanked him. Then, the man led Chen Changsheng to the store, and introduced himself at the same time, it turned out that this kind eldest brother surnamed He, forty-five years old, is a native of Chang'an City, there are two or three cloth shops under his name, as well as a few pharmacies, and his life is very rich.

As he spoke, he entered the cloth shop, where a young woman of twenty-seven or eighteen years old was standing behind the counter and making calculations. When the woman saw Brother He leading Chen Changsheng into the store, she walked out from behind the counter and asked Brother He, "You went to give money to you, why did you bring back the little brothers?" ”

Brother He smiled, so he introduced Chen Changsheng: "This is my lady, although I have been in prison for many years, but God has treated me well and let me marry such a beautiful wife." ”

To be honest, this woman is really good-looking, with a melon seed face, willow eyebrows, and a very delicate face, and her smile and movement are very tasteful. Perhaps, women are the most beautiful at this age, not only have young and beautiful bodies and faces, but also are a little more sexy and mature than girls.

Although Chen Changsheng felt good-looking, he didn't dare to look at the rudeness, so he hurriedly got up to salute. At the same time, Brother He also told the lady what happened to Chen Changsheng, and then said: "The lady not only has to take care of the cloth shop every day, but also takes care of the account for me It is very hard, let this little brother do the account in the future." ”

After hearing what happened to Chen Changsheng, Mrs. He was also very sympathetic to him, not only let him stay, but also did not blame her husband for a word.

Then, Mrs. He took Chen Changsheng home. The He family is really not small, divided into the east wing and the west wing, Brother He and his wife have been married for three or four years, but they have no children. The couple lived in the East Wing, a courtyard in Youda, and most of the houses were empty. Mrs. He cleaned up a spare room for Chen Changsheng in the west wing. At this point, Chen Changsheng has settled down here.

Every day, Chen Changsheng would go to several shops under the name of the He family to calculate the details of income and expenditure, although it was painstaking, but it was not a matter of coolies, he was also very dedicated, even if he was busy late, he could not make mistakes.

Brother He is usually busy buying goods from other places, and he doesn't return for several days when he goes, and he is rarely at home. Chen Changsheng also helped to do the things at home, and he was grateful to Brother He for his kindness that day.

Brother He saw it in his eyes and remembered it in his heart. Not long after, he said to Chen Changsheng, in the future, you will treat me as a brother, I will regard you as a younger brother, and we will be our own family in the future. Chen Changsheng, who has no relatives in this world, was very moved.

After getting along for a long time, Mrs. He didn't want Chen Changsheng to call him "madam", but asked her to call her sister. Although Chen Changsheng felt that it was not appropriate, Mrs. He said that you call me Mrs. every day, don't you call me old?

When Brother He was away, Chen Changsheng was busy, sometimes it was hot, and when he saw Chen Changsheng sweating, Mrs. He would fan him, and even wiped his sweat with her own handkerchief.

Mrs. He's handkerchief is very fragrant, it smells very good in the nose, Chen Changsheng has never smelled this fragrance, this is a kind of fragrance that only women have, very charming and intoxicating. Of course, Chen Changsheng would not think that badly, he only regarded this Mrs. He as his sister-in-law.

Chen Changsheng came to the He family, this night was three or four months, originally he thought that he would stay in the He family in the future, but what he didn't expect was that something big happened soon, and he almost died in the He family......
