On the way out of the palace, there was an aura of solemnity everywhere, and the patrolling soldiers, wearing heavy armor, walked with heavy and neat clattering footsteps.

Shen Jingcheng passed by those soldiers in armor, and his eyes did not fluctuate at all.

And the grain chiefs behind him lowered their heads in fear, and followed Shen Jingcheng like quails in fear. Looking at it from afar, it was like a rooster with a straight chest and a head up, leading a chicken cub that he had never seen the world to come out to see the world.

On the high city wall, a young man in a dark robe didn't pay attention to the scene below, only swayed and looked at the imperial city in his eyes, and the capital in the distance, his eyes were secretly excited.

Soon, soon the world will be his.

Soon, he can do whatever he wants, and he no longer has to please anyone against his will, and he doesn't have to look at anyone's face.

The young man on the wall looked into the distance, full of spirit and ambition, and the young man under the wall looked ahead, calm and unwavering, putting the affairs of this imperial city out of his mind.

Coming out of the palace, Shen Jingcheng took Gu Jin and his entourage and drove the goods pulled in by the ox cart to the city gate.

There will be a bloody storm here, so it's good to leave early.

Because they went back to bring the goods this time, the speed of walking was not so fast, Gu Jin and Shen Jingcheng simply walked slowly, and did not come to a prosperous town, so they stopped to see if there were any specialties in this town, and brought some more by the way.

At the same time, a young man in embarrassment came to the distant Shenjia Village, his hair covered his face, his clothes were in tatters, and his steps were vague as if he would faint to the ground in the next second, if it weren't for the eyes like a wolf, looking around vigilantly from time to time, I really thought he was just an ordinary beggar.

He hadn't eaten for a long time, and there were flowers in front of him, and he didn't know where to go, and he didn't know where there was a place in the world that could accommodate him.

Overnight, his father lost his mother and died, and he went from an unfavored son in the Hou Mansion to a prisoner all of a sudden, but it is estimated that those people didn't expect him to escape, right?

Haha, ridiculous.

Why do you want him to die instead of the eldest brother of the world?

gave birth to him, but never raised him, his life has always been his own, why should he die for others?

Now, those people are afraid that they are panicking, right?

deserves it, just like the high lady said, what life should be life, just like his eldest brother who is always arrogant and looks at his eldest brother like an ant, he should die, he should not live.

But I'm so hungry......

In the distance, the young man saw a place where people came and went, and there was some shouting of selling things faintly in his ears, and he staggered over, trying to find a restaurant to ask for something to eat, but there seemed to be no restaurant on the street.

The boy couldn't hold on anymore, staggered at the door of a shop, and fell to the ground with a thud.

Gu Xiu was arranging the embroidery thread, and was suddenly startled by the sound at the door, and turned his head to see a dirty beggar, lying there on his back with his feet facing the sky, the man's lips were dry, and his breathing was faint as if he was about to swallow.

Seeing this, Gu Xiu looked at the shop and found that there were only two peaches here that were the two peaches that he had taken when he came over this morning, and there was nothing to eat, so he walked towards him with the peaches.

"Do you want to eat?"

The young man heard a crisp voice in a trance, and when he opened his eyes with difficulty, he saw a delicate girl squatting beside him, holding two small peach in her hand, handing them to herself.

He subconsciously swallowed a mouthful of saliva, couldn't care about anything, and suddenly had strength in his body, and suddenly grabbed the peach from the girl's hand and gnawed it, without even having time to go to the fluffy skin.

Gu Xiu was startled by his sudden movements, but seeing that his chapped lips were bleeding because he was eating with his mouth wide open, he didn't say anything, just went back to the shop and ordered the maid to serve him.

"Xiao Xia, you go to the house and get some food."

"Hey." The maid named Xiao Xia agreed, turned around and went to the courtyard behind, and after a while, she brought a steamed bun, and gave it to Gu

Embroidery took two peaches again.

Gu Xiu took the peaches and asked Xiao Xia to give the steamed buns to the young man, and then continued to comb the silk threads and embroidered cloth in the shop.

The boy finished eating the peaches and steamed buns but did not leave, but sat in a corner, quietly looking at the street, where everyone seemed to know the girl and called her Miss Xiu'er.

Is that the girl's name?

Xiu'er, it's so good.

The boy did not go any further, but stayed here.

Stumbling along the way, he had seen too much indifference, and finally met such a person who was willing to give him food, and he didn't want to leave.

In his eyes, this girl is like his last straw, and he wants to grasp it.

He knew it was a shame for him to do this, but he had no other way.

Gu Xiu'er saw that he had been wandering here, and after bringing him steamed buns twice, she frowned and said, "You have hands and feet, why don't you go to work to earn food, always waiting for others to give alms, who can give you every day?"

The young man's face was flushed by what she said, although he couldn't see any color on his dirty face, but he also felt that his face was hot.

"So, can I work for you?"

Gu Xiu was asked by him, she had an embroidery shop, and all the people she came into contact with were women, what did she want a man to do, but looking at his pitiful eyes, she couldn't say anything to refuse, and finally said, "You come with me."

The boy thought she was going to accept herself, and immediately stood up and followed her.

Gu Xiu took him out of the shop street, pointed to the large field that was being harvested in the north, and said, "There are people there every day, ten copper plates a day, or grain of the same price, you can go there, I am an embroidery shop here, it is not good to ask for men."

The young man looked at the large field to the north, and then looked at Gu Xiu's fair face, wanting to say that he couldn't farm, but he couldn't say it.

If he said he didn't know how to farm, wouldn't the girl think he was useless?

However, Gu Xiu can't do anything else, but he can look at his face, look at his dirty hands, but very delicate hands, with a serious look, and say, "People always have to support themselves, if they can't go to school, there will always be a day when they learn."

After speaking, Gu Xiu turned around and left, she really felt so.

Just like she knew that she was not a reading material, she carefully wrote down the relationship embroidery skills that Gu Jin told her and worked hard to figure it out.

Embroidering every day, who is not tired, who will not be tired. But people have to order something, don't they?

She knows that she can't rely on her sister and brother-in-law for a lifetime, her sister and brother-in-law are good to her, it is her blessing, but she can't rely on her whole life with peace of mind, she always has a time to go out, if at that time, she still takes her husband to rely on her sister and brother-in-law, how shameless is it?
