Chapter 19: Unkindness

Ke Rong was more excited than he imagined when he saw Baozi. She covered her mouth and ran out of her eyes with emotion, making her eyes shine in Liang Xueyin's heart like fireflies in the night.

She hugged Liang Xueyin and muttered, "You kid has a heart." Aunt Ke, thank you. ”

Liang Xueyin lowered her head shyly, raised her eyes and said, "Aunt Ke treats me so well, how can I let Aunt Ke starve." ”

Seeing this situation, Ke Yangui also came up to hug them, his face was indifferent, but he said very warm words: "I will definitely protect you in the future." So that you can all live the life you want. ”

"Yan Gui also has a heart. Mother always knew. Ke Rong put his hands on their heads, wanting to cry but holding back.

Liang Xueyin handed them the buns in her arms, she and Ke Yangui were one person, and Ke Rong was four people. Even so, Ke Rong is still pushing and giving in two per person. But Liang Xueyin naturally didn't want it, and so did Ke Yangui. In the end, Liang Xueyin decided to give Ke Rong three, and the remaining one she and Ke Yan were half of one person, and took a bite sweetly in front of them, touched their stomachs, round and very satisfied.

After Ke Rong finished eating the buns, there were already more people on the street, and she handed the bamboo basket to Ke Yan to take care of. stood up and loosened his muscles, and said to Ke Yangui: "Yangui, the shortbread is sold to you, and you alone are enough." Mother went to this neighborhood to find some hands-on work, and made a lot of money to buy you delicious food. Mother is a waste of manpower here. When I find it, I'll let you know, and if you have something urgent, go there and find me. ”

Ke Yangui instinctively refused: "Mother, I don't want to eat delicious food." If you're recovering from a serious illness, don't work too hard and wait a few days, right? ”

But she shook her head and persuaded: "It's okay, how is my mother's body, my mother knows it in her heart, and naturally she can't do it." Mother is still so short of having no supplies to return, how could she go so quickly. Mother remembers you. ”

He was greatly touched by this, and under Ke Rong's repeated requests, she still went. Liang Xueyin was also worried about her, so she followed.

They walked the whole street, and there were five or six families that were short of people, but they were all laborers.

There were signs at the doors of those taverns, so they went in and took a brief look, and Xiao Er came over very enthusiastically and asked, "Guest officer, what do you want to eat?" ”

Ke Rong smiled and waved his hand, and explained to him: "I saw that there was a sign hanging outside, so I came in to take a look, is the boss there?" ”

As soon as Xiao'er heard that he was looking for a job, his enthusiasm quickly dropped by more than half, he walked away, knocked on the table on the counter, and said politely: "Boss, someone has come to look for work." ”

The boss wore a melon-skin hat, had a big belly, several layers of flesh fell from his neck, and lay comfortably on a chair with his eyes closed, his legs on the table. Relax. As soon as I heard that someone was coming to recruit workers, I let out a pop. The action appears a little clumsy.

walked over and stood beside Ke Rong to look at her carefully, then took her hand and looked left and right and touched her chin, there was cunning in her eyes, and said, "May I ask Madam, what kind of job are you looking for?" ”

"Find some hands-on work." She immediately withdrew her hand, looked down at the boss, and said.

"Oh~ look at Madame's hands, they don't look like people who do these jobs. Is Madame capable of doing well? The boss's thin eyes rolled and asked meaningfully.

Ke Rong wanted the job, so he said, "Yes." I'll do a good job. ”

"Then we have a reward of two taels a month here, you may accept it? The hygiene of the kitchen can be left to you to clean alone, if you don't do it well, you have to deduct money. The boss continued.

She answered. But Liang Xueyin heard that the remuneration was only two taels, which was unexpectedly less than Liang Xueyin. She thought that the part-time workers should earn half of her grandfather's, but in fact, it was pitiful. After a month of hard work, there are only two or three taels. It's her that the money for a dress is not enough. Amazed by the low cost of labor, they watched every day how these wages were done.

Dissuaded her, "Farewell, Aunt Ke." Let's go somewhere else. You are not fit to do this kind of tiring work when you are just recovering from a serious illness. If Brother Yangui knows, he should feel sorry for you. ”

Ke Rong's face was still struggling, and Liang Xueyin directly pulled her out of the tavern. Standing outside, he looked around, pointed to the tallest building, and said, "Aunt Ke, look, let's go there." It seems to be the best inn here, there must be a lot of people, don't be too busy, everyone is divided, there is always less work in hand than here, and it is a big inn, and the remuneration is definitely much better than these shops. Let's go, let's take a look. ”

Ke Rong was moved by what she said, so he went with her.

There are three big characters written on the signboard, "Diding Restaurant". That's a great name. At first glance, it is a large restaurant, and it will definitely live up to expectations.

Liang Xueyin confidently pulled Ke Rong into the restaurant, and asked Xiao Er, and sure enough, he was recruiting. Then Xiao Er took them to the boss's house, the boss was sitting in the room comparing the account book and tapping, his eyes were extremely sharp, he looked at the two of them, stayed on Liang Xueyin's body for two more seconds, frowned at her, and looked at Ke Rong with a bad face, and then said in a deep voice:

"You're here to recruit workers? Children are not accepted. We are responsible for cleaning after the guests leave the room, washing the guests' change of clothes, and helping the dishwashers when they are on leave. Every day when the hour comes, the time to go. The monthly remuneration is four taels, what do you think? If you can do it, go out and let Xiao Er take you to familiarize yourself with the work first, if you can't do it, go out and turn left and go down the stairs, and go straight to return to the town. Slow down and don't send. ”

Ke Rong bowed slightly, bowed, and pulled Liang Xueyin out of the room lightly, closing the door by the way. Liang Xueyin raised her head and secretly glanced at the boss, who was a grandfather in his seventies, and his spirit was very good.

Then Xiao Er found another female worker, and the female worker took them one by one to see the work they were going to do in the future, and then gave Ke Rong an apron, put them at the door of the guest room, and went to work by himself. He complained to Ke Rong reluctantly: "I collect four taels of silver and do eight taels of work." ”

Ke Rong and Liang Xueyin looked at each other and smiled blankly.

She put on her apron, opened the door and got to work. This room is a mess. Who should have been drinking last night, the room was full of alcohol and the windows were not opened to let in the air, the bed was crumpled, and even the clothes were kneaded together one by one and placed at the head of the bed, not in the cabinet.

She first tidied up the bedside clothes and folded them one by one. Liang Xueyin came to learn from her and helped her a little favor on the side.

Before he could fold a few pieces, he could hear a sound coming from the next room. It seemed to be a general she had seen before, and the voice was very similar.

"General, does the emperor want to send us away with this little holiday? And you admit it? Thinking that we shed our blood for Du Guo, and fought 50,000 with an army of 30,000, we don't know anything about the terrain and terrain, and we are still on the land of the enemy country, and he knows that this is an impossible task! also passed a letter saying that if you can't win this battle, no one will come back, is this what a generation of benevolent monarchs should do? ”

"That's Holy, what else can we, as His people, do? You can only bite the bullet. ”

"Why don't we brothers just go to the other side, who in this world doesn't know your General Lei's name? The territory of Du Kingdom is all guarded by us, look at how many desperate people like us are in the court? He wouldn't care if we lost our lives! ”

"Smack!" Then I heard a crisp sound, "What nonsense are you talking about!" I tell you that you can never have such a thought, even if the emperor treats us badly, Du Guoli also has parents and relatives who gave birth to you and raised you! Once the Du Kingdom is defeated, then every one of the people of the Du Kingdom will live a miserable life, do you know how much of a sin this is? No matter how ruthless and brutal the emperor is, he is also our emperor! ”

"General!"

"Say no more!"

The two voices collided together, and the person who said that the emperor was bad snorted coldly and slammed the door, and the sound of hitting the door was very loud. Then another person walked in, and this person was more stable than the one who had left.

"General, after all, he is young, his blood is strong, normal, you don't want to be angry with him, he can't get up in any wind and waves in the army, don't worry, I can take care of my apprentice."

"I don't think he can't be angry. How can I not be angry with the saint, my Thunder Army has 30,000 people, and after fighting a battle that is impossible to win, there are more than 100 people left, and 30,000 people are all good men carefully selected by me, who have fought countless battles with me, and they are all brothers who were born and died. More than 20,000 people were killed by the words of the saint. The battle between Yin and Yin is not indispensable, for the sake of his status, we have to play with our lives, and I can't accept it. ”

"General, just open it if you want to. As long as the generals of the Thunder Army are still there, then the Thunder Army will always be there. I will always accompany the general. The general and I have also been born and died for so many years, and our fates have long been entangled. ”

"The military advisor is indeed a person who reads poetry and books. I think I've only been fighting and killing for decades, and I haven't lived an ordinary life. Like a military advisor, he is much better at using his brain than me. ”

"The general has been awarded. You are the head of the army, everyone listens to you, and my words are just an assistant. ”

Liang Xueyin was very interested in what they were talking about, but at this point, neither of them spoke, and then they both walked out of the room. Listening to the content, the person in the next room is indeed the general, yes. She hadn't heard of the general's prestige. But looking at the way they say that they are confident in their reputation, they must be a remarkable character.

The emperor was unkind to them, it shouldn't have been intentional, in her impression, the emperor was a very good person. Because Chengye's brother is a very good person, then his father will be too. Although the emperor is not often seen, he often hears Chengye's brother mention it.

He was in awe and proud every time.
