Yu Ren joked to Zhao Rui, "No matter how good Sister Ruolan is, you don't have anything to think about." Who made you strong on the outside! ”

Zhao Rui has always liked to dress as a man, and only when he is at home does he restore his daughter's body. Of course, he understood that Yu Ren meant that although he was a man on the surface, he was still a girl on the inside. But she looked at Yu Ren with a look of deep meaning. "Really didn't think about it?"

Yu Ren's heart suddenly moved by Zhao Rui's words, and he couldn't help but turn his head to look at Ruomei who was sitting next to him. Ruomei also happened to turn her head to look at him. The two looked at each other, Ruomei's face turned red all of a sudden, and she quickly lowered her head.

Don't look at Ruolan Ruomei, the two sisters are only sixteen years old, but the eyebrows have already revealed the unique charm of a young girl, and the charm between Gu Pan is revealed. In addition, these two sisters are also good-looking and plump. Yu Ren didn't have such a heart, but when he was teased by Zhao Rui's words, when he looked at the two sisters again, he naturally thought of that aspect in his heart. was looked at by Ruomei's tender gaze again, and there were small ripples in my heart.

After eating, several people got up and walked towards the town. Since it was early afternoon, there were very few people in the town, and the shops on both sides of the street were very deserted, except for one rice shop, which was particularly good. There was a long queue at the door.

Yu Ren led everyone to look around in front of the rice shop, and saw that the price of rice on it was indeed written sixty-three wen per catty. It seems that the price that Xiao Er said in this store should still be the old price a few days ago, and now it has risen by more than ten yuan.

Just as a few people were about to turn around and leave, they suddenly heard someone shouting, "The Shen family's rice boat is here, go quickly." ”

Those who were originally lined up in front of the rice shop heard this, and Hulala ran away all at once. The guy who was loading rice for the guests, the rice was not yet loaded, and when he looked up, everyone was gone.

The shopkeeper standing next to him couldn't help but scold, "This damn Shen family." Let us at least earn more than a thousand taels of silver. It's not going to go on like this! It seems that the time has come to give them some stakes. ”

After listening to the shopkeeper's words, a housekeeper-like figure standing behind him approached the shopkeeper and said, "Shopkeeper, the villain has an idea." ”

"Oh! What's the idea? ”

The butler whispered a few words in front of the shopkeeper, and the shopkeeper immediately turned his sorrow into joy. "Okay, just do as you say. I have your support for this, you just have to worry about it. If something happens, I'll carry it for you. With that, he took a piece of silver from his sleeve and gave it to the butler.

The steward took the money, bowed, and went away.

Yu Ren watched this scene from afar, and finally couldn't help but say to Liang Ruji on the side, "It seems that this shopkeeper must want to have some bad idea about the Shen family's rice boat." It's just that I don't know why these people ran away as soon as they heard that the Shen family's rice boat was coming, and they no longer bought rice here? ”

Liang Ruji nodded, "I don't understand this either." Zongyi, you go and quietly follow the housekeeper to see what bad ideas he wants to fight. Let's go over there and see what is so attractive about the Shen family's rice boat. ”

A few people then followed Yu Ren back to the small pier by the canal.

Sure enough, I saw a few new boats parked by the canal, and the bags on the boats should be all rice. There were two long queues on the shore. Yu Ren saw a man carrying a small bag of rice coming from the front, so he greeted him.

"This little brother, I want to ask you about something."

The man was about the same age as Yu Ren, but his face was a little pale and he looked obviously malnourished. Seeing Yu Ren questioning him, he stopped.

"Why did you all follow as soon as you heard that the Shen family's rice boat was coming? Is this Shen family's rice sold extremely cheap? ”

The man shook his head, "No." The price of rice on the Shen family's rice ship has always been on the market, and where it goes, it is consistent with the price of rice. It won't be expensive and it won't be cheap. ”

"Then why are you still competing to come to the Shen family to buy it like this?" Yu Ren was even more strange.

"Because the rice sold by the Shen family is genuine, there is no discrepancy in the scale, and the rice is not mixed with sand. It's not like the rice shop of the money boss in the town. The rice sold by the Qian family is not only said to be deducted from you, but when you buy it home, you must go through sifting before you can eat it. After this sifting, your rice has been reduced by at least 30%.

Therefore, everyone does not want to go to the Qian family's rice shop to buy rice. But there is no way, there is just such a rice shop in the town. ”

Yu Ren finally understood what was going on. "Then, why don't you sue the money boss. If he sells rice like this, won't the government care? ”

When the man heard this, it was as if he had heard something of news that he had never heard before, and he couldn't help but laugh. "The little boy is really good at laughing, which rice shop in the world is not like this? It's just that in normal years, they haven't gone so far. It is the first time that a merchant like the Shen family who buys and sells fairly, and the villain has grown so big. I heard that the head of the Shen family is a son, and everyone said that this little son of the Shen family must be the reincarnation of a bodhisattva, who came to save us. ”

As he spoke, the man picked up the rice bag and left, and as he walked, he said, "Good people have good rewards!" Good guy ......"

Yu Ren quietly looked at the man's back, and couldn't help but sigh. To survive in this era, if you don't have enough strength, it's terrible! I can't even buy normal rice for dinner.

Watching the people who came to line up one by one, they walked away with rice bags on their backs. Yu Ren suddenly wanted to see what this kind-hearted young son of the Shen family looked like. So, he walked forward.

As soon as Yu Ren walked to the side of the rice boat, he saw a familiar figure appear next to the boat.

"You guys move quickly, we have to rush back after selling rice today!" I heard from the young lady that our young master may be coming back from Beijing recently. ”

When Yu Ren heard this, he finally couldn't help but shout, "Cao An! ”

The man heard the cry and hurriedly turned his head. Sure enough, it was Cao An, who was entrusted by Yu Ren with an important task and was in charge of the Shen family's business.

"Young Master!" When Cao An saw Yu Ren, he happily threw down the work in his hand and ran towards him.

Those who were already queuing up, hearing that this person was the young son of the Shen family, couldn't help but turn their heads and salute Yu Renxing. For a long time, the young son of the Shen family has only been a legendary figure, and his rice boat has benefited the people in many places along the Shandong Canal in the past year, but no one has ever seen what this young son looks like with their own eyes, and they don't even know his name.

Today, these people are finally lucky enough to see him in person. They were excited. When the masses are agitated, the consequences are often terrible. These people who were waiting in front of the boat, lined up to buy rice, were just there.

Not too far away, there was a larger group of people, mostly in ragged clothes, both old and children. Hearing that Yu Ren was the young son of the Shen family, all of these people ran over at once and surrounded him, with no less than five hundred.

Liang Ruji and the others were all startled when they suddenly saw this scene, and quickly drew their swords and protected Yu Ren in the middle, looking vigilant.

Yu Ren was also taken aback at first by the sudden siege of these people. But he quickly calmed down. Because he found that these people surrounded him, and there was no malice.

Just when Yu Ren didn't understand what the purpose of these people surrounding him, an old man suddenly knelt down to him. "Shen Xianggong, they all say that you are a bodhisattva, please save my two little grandsons! Take them away!

This year's harvest in the fields is so poor that his parents can't even feed themselves, and where is there any surplus grain to feed them. My old man had no choice but to take them out to beg. But in this year of great drought, there are begging people everywhere, and my old man is really helpless.

My old man has lived for more than fifty years, and it is not a pity to die. It's a pity that these two children are not yet five years old! Do well, take them in, and wait for three or five years, when they are older, they will be able to work for you. Otherwise, if they follow me, they will only starve to death. ”

Yu Ren looked at the old man in front of him. He was wearing a tattered garment that could barely cover his body, his face was scorched, and most of the hair on his head was half white, like a pile of grass. Standing behind him were two children of three or four years old. The old man said, while hurriedly asking the two children to kneel down for Yu Ren together.

Seeing this scene, Yu Ren's heart trembled. Although when I was a child, I also listened to my parents and grandparents tell about the scene. However, when he experienced it himself, it was a completely different mood.

Yu Ren stepped forward with tears in his eyes, gently helped the old man up, and then held the two children in his arms.
