"The young master just had a conflict with two scholars, if they are suddenly killed, there will definitely be people who suspect the young master. Although I am not afraid, it is a trouble after all, and it is not good for the master. ”
"It's better to ask Liu Daochang to come out, Liu Daochang's spell is profound, and he can secretly cast a spell to ask for the lives of two scholars, so that the gods don't know it, and no one will suspect the young master." ”
"Daoist Liu, it's better like this, is Daoist back?" Ma Jin thought for a moment and asked again. This Liu Daochang is also a strange person beside his father, it is said that he once cultivated in Ziyu Mountain, and he came to live in the mansion three years ago, and has always been treated as a guest by his father.
"According to the reports of the next people, Daochang Liu has been preaching in the city for the past few days, and he also performed at the Hebo Temple Fair yesterday......" Fan Yu said that Daochang Liu, his eyes flashed with an inexplicable light.
"Well, then wait for Daochang Liu to come back, and let those two scholars live a few more days. Ma Jin paced a few steps in the hall, and suddenly said, "It's okay here, you go down first, and let Cherry bring a pot of fragrant tea." Fan Yu took the order and left.
After a while, the personal maid Cherry entered the room with a pot of fragrant tea.
Ma Jin's anger has not been eliminated at this moment, and when he saw the little girl with a face full of spring approaching, an evil fire immediately burned from his heart.
He immediately stepped forward and pressed the cherry directly on the table, and then inserted his big hand into the dress and stroked it.
"Young master, don't, what about ...... daylight" Although the maid screamed, she didn't dare to really refuse. In the Dayan Dynasty, most of the servants and other subordinates signed a contract of sale with their masters. Life and death are almost up to you. It is common for the host to wantonly beat, scold and bully. It is not uncommon for the subordinates to annoy their masters and be beaten to death.
She knows very well what her young master is, although Ma Jin always looks like a humble gentleman when he interacts with people outside, but when he returns home, he is completely exposed, and his subordinates will be beaten severely if they make a slight mistake, and I don't know how many servants have been beaten to death over the years.
For a time, the room was full of spring.
Neither of them appeared, and there seemed to be a lot of hideous ghosts in the void who wanted to rush down, but before they could get close to the horse within three feet, they were blocked by the blue light.
Chang Jin naturally didn't know what Ma Jin and the others were planning behind his back, the weather was fine today, he bought a few pastries when he went out, and then called a carriage and ran straight to the west of the city.
Although the inn where Chang Jin lived was remote, it was still a prosperous place in Wanshan Mansion.
In the west of the city, the streets are obviously much depressed, and there is dirty water everywhere, and there are even cow dung and horse urine of livestock in many places, which is filled with a pungent smell.
There are more beggars on both sides of the street than in other places, and it is not difficult to see those who sell themselves on the grass on the roadside.
Chang Jin sighed, I am afraid this is the real Wanshan Mansion, and it is also the real situation of the Dayan Dynasty. It's like a willow tree with lush foliage and a hollow heart, and the prosperity on the surface can't hide the decay on the inside. Maybe a rainstorm will uproot the tree.
In this storm, there is only so much you can do.
Just thinking about it, I suddenly heard a loud scolding from beside me: "Get out, get away from me, a poor ghost, you don't have money and want to catch some medicine, and we are not from a good church"
Chang Jin turned his head to look, and now a pharmacy guy pushed a young girl out of the door.
The girl's face was sallow, her hair was fluffy, and she looked pitiful, which made people indignant.
was withdrawn from the door, and the girl still begged loudly, "Doctor Wang, I beg you, help my brother take a look at the illness again, don't worry, I will definitely pay back the money." I...... I'll get you on your knees......"
After saying that, the girl threw herself on her knees.
"Xiaoyu, what are you doing, hurry up and let people see how bad it is. A thin middle-aged man walked out of the door, sighed and said, "It's not that I don't help you, you haven't paid back the money you owe to your brother a few times before." My pharmacy is not a businessman, and if I do it on credit like this, I have to close the door......"
"Doctor Wang, please do well, this is the last time. It's really not good, I'll be a maid for your family, and you're going to treat my brother...
At this time, there were already a lot of idlers surrounding and pointing at a few people in the field.
"Hey, Xiaoyu's life is really bitter, such a foolish brother. Lang Yuan has accumulated virtue all his life, how could he give birth to a stupid son......"
"No, it's rare to see a stupid person who reads books, and if he had just found a job before, he wouldn't have ended up in this step. Someone else responded.
"Why do you need to find a living, just his house full of books, if you sell it, you can exchange it for dozens of taels of silver. Someone wanted to buy it earlier, but the nerd said why not sell it. ”
"It's just that Xiaoyu suffered, mending seams and doing some needlework for others every day, earning a few dollars of silver, just raising nerds like this......"
Hearing this, Chang Jin already had a basic understanding of things.
Needless to say, this girl's brother, like his previous self, is a nerd who "doesn't listen to things outside the window and only reads the books of sages". Usually I don't do anything at home.,Put everything on my sister.。
Now he is sick and bedridden, and the girl is begging for a doctor.
This kind of person is the most bastard, but his predecessor was so muddy, if he hadn't crossed over to this world, I'm afraid that his little fate would not be much better.
On the stubborn face of the little girl, Chang Jin seemed to see his sister.
"Everyone, please let me ......," he shouted to the crowd of onlookers.
Hearing this, people turned their heads one after another and looked at Chang Jin with curious eyes.
"Doctor Wang, how much money does this girl owe you in total, I will pay it back for her," Chang Jin bowed and said.
"A total of two taels of silver," the shopkeeper replied subconsciously.
Fortunately, he carried a lot of broken silver, Chang Jin took out a piece and said: "There are more than three taels of silver here, and I have paid off your account, and the rest of the money is calculated as the cost of this medical treatment." ”
"Thank you Childe, thank you Childe" It was only at this moment that the girl reacted and hurriedly turned around to kowtow to him.
"You don't have to be like this, hurry up and take the doctor to see your brother" Chang Jin waved his hand casually to stop the other party from kneeling. Then he turned around and walked towards the street
His pace was brisk, and in a moment he walked more than a dozen feet away, and finally disappeared around the corner.
Seeing Chang Jin disappear, the crowd exclaimed: "Good guy, Xiaoyu has met a good guy"
Good...... Chang Jin secretly smiled bitterly, a good person really can't talk about it, and that's all he can do.
Around the corner, he saw a group of seven or eight-year-old children playing by the mound.
Most of them were dressed in rags, and one child was even naked, and when he saw a stranger looking at him, he immediately shy hid behind his companions. Chang Jin was not surprised by this situation, children must have no clothes to wear, which is very common in rural areas.
Chang Jin sighed, stepped forward and asked, "Who of you knows where Zhu Yuanhao's family lives in Four Feet Lane?"
Zhu Yuanhao...... Are you looking for Boss Zhu?" a slightly bold child looked up and replied, while the rest of the children looked at Chang Jin with curious eyes.
"Yes, that's him" Chang Jin nodded.
"I know, I know," a group of children shouted. It seems that Zhu Yuanhao is a celebrity in this area, and he knows it if he asks any child.
A few children were noisily leading the way in front, and Chang Jin then entered the alley. In view of the low houses, most of them are made of adobe with walls and roofs with thatched grass to protect them from the wind and rain.
It seems that the people who live here should be poor.
The children led him to the door of a house and then yelled.
Soon, a trembling old woman opened the door with a cane.
She raised her slightly cloudy eyes and glanced at it, and instead of letting Chang Jin enter the courtyard, she asked, "Who are you and what are you looking for me."
"The younger generation is often Jin, meet the old lady. I had an appointment with Brother Zhu before, saying that he had come to visit him in the past few days. Chang Jin didn't care about the old woman's indifferent attitude, and anyone who saw a stranger coming to the door would be a little vigilant.
"It's you...... You are Engong" Hearing his name, the old woman's expression became excited, and she hurriedly dodged and said, "Come in, I heard Yuan Hao mention you before, thanks to your help before, otherwise my son would have gone with those thieves." Yuan Hao is now looking for a job of transporting on the dock, and he hasn't come back yet. ”
"Old woman, the word Engong must not be mentioned, Brother Zhu and I are friends," Chang Jin saw her walking tremblingly, and hurriedly helped him up
Entering the courtyard, the old woman called the group of boys in again and asked them to summon Zhu Yuanhao home.
Chang Jin also took out a handful of copper coins and distributed them to these children, asking them to wait and buy some snacks on the street.
Not long after, Zhu Yuanhao rushed back, followed by a ten-year-old black and thin boy beside him, who should be regarded as a follower.
When Chang Jin first saw Zhu Yuanhao more than ten days ago, the red aura on this person's head drifted away and he was shaky. Now it has condensed a few points, and it is obvious that all the bad luck has disappeared.
As for the boy who followed him, his luck was no different from that of ordinary people.
After greeting each other, Zhu Yuanhao enthusiastically left the meal, and then pulled the young man to the gate of the courtyard, and whispered: "Little Liuzi, do you still have any money on you, please lend my brother a few dollars for the time being, and wait for the salary to be repaid to you." ”
The young man smiled bitterly when he heard this: "Brother, my salary was lost the day before yesterday, but you wait, I still have an old hen that lays eggs, I will take it over and kill it and stew it." ”
"Slow," Chang Jin hurriedly went out to stop him, "Brother Zhu is too much to treat me as an outsider, I have two taels of silver here, just let the little brother go to the street to buy some wine and food, why bother." ”
"This ...... The host invites guests, how can there be a reason for the guests to pay for it. Zhu Yuanhao shook his head again and again.
"I originally thought that Brother Zhu was a bold person, so I came to visit, but I didn't know that Brother Zhu didn't treat me as a friend at all, so I took my leave. Chang Jin deliberately made it look like he was leaving.
"Chang Gongzi is slow," Zhu Yuanhao hurriedly grabbed him, "You're right, why does a big husband need a mother-in-law to act." I won't shirk it, Xiao Liuzi, you go to the street to buy some snacks, and Chang Gongzi and I will have a drink. ”
"Brother Zhu, you still call me Yunsheng, Chang Gongzi I sound awkward" After the two of them sat back in the room, Chang Jin spoke.
"It's awkward for me to shout," Zhu Yuanhao said with a smile.
