Chapter 10 The World Is Difficult
In the end, I retracted my head and looked at Si Qin Mi's embroidery, the quiet beauty, quiet and beautiful, the flower shape of a peony on the semi-white juan silk had appeared, Si Qin Mi looked at the flowers with satisfaction, and put down the frame.
"Lang Jun, the concubine went to buy it." I was in a hurry to buy medicine before, but I didn't prepare any food.
"I'll go with me, and introduce you to the neighbors, the name Siqin Mi can't be used for the time being, let's think of another name." Zhuang Xun struggled to get up and dress.
"It's okay, it's right." Seeing that Zhuang Xun was really worried about himself, Si Qinmi touched his forehead, the temperature had dropped, and if he didn't cough, he would be gone.
"The name is Wei Lanzhi, and the mother's surname is Wei, and Lanzhi is a common name used by ordinary people." Siqin Mi took a name for herself.
"Of course, the identity is my wife, so I said that I was from my hometown, and so I remember that I kept saying that I was not married, forget it, these people don't care." Zhuang Xun temporarily made up his identity while dressing.
"People can't stand without trust, how can Lang Jun be trusted by others at such a casual pace, how to stand on his own, it can be said that the concubine is a person who fled Xihe, Lang Jun buried the daughter of the Siqin family because of lack of money, and the concubine paid the money to let Lang Jun marry a concubine, so as to preserve Lang Jun's reputation, and explain why the husband married a concubine with a lack of appearance." Siqin Mi thought more thoughtfully and put on a robe for Zhuang Xun.
"Well, so be it." Zhuang Xun was a little unaccustomed to being served and dressed.
As soon as I walked out of the courtyard gate, I saw the landlord's grandmother, with a club, gray hair and sideburns, and a pattern for serving.
"Old Madam Chen, take a walk." Zhuang asked.
"Zhuang Sheng, is this the maid you bought? Yesterday I came in with my face covered, and my aunt thought it was a thief. The old lady looked at Si Qinmi, and saw that her face showed a subtle expression.
"I smiled, it's the wife I just married, Wei Lanzhi, Laneige, this is the owner of this house, Mrs. Chen." Zhuang Xun said.
"Johnson, you ...... Yesterday, I heard that you went to bury the daughter of the Siqin family? Old Madam Chen looked at Si Qinmi's face again and stopped talking, and finally changed the topic without commenting.
"This is true, thanks to Mrs. Siqin's support, I was able to find a living, she couldn't bear to expose her body in the city after her death, but fortunately, thanks to the help of his wife, it has been handled properly." Zhuang Xun briefly said that only the couple understands the sourness of the past few days.
"It's loyal, although it's not worth it for the wolf-hearted guys of the Siqin family." Old Madam Chen sighed and said.
"What are you going to do, Yin Du is not very peaceful these days, there are too many displaced people in Xicheng, and many people are squeezed by them and can't find a job, but Zhuang Sheng, you have talent, you are not afraid of anywhere, you quit the weekly accounting, where are you going." After Mrs. Chen finished scolding, she cared about Zhuang Xun's work.
"Go out and buy some food, I don't plan to find a job, I plan to leave Yindu, but it's not peaceful outside, wait for a friend to pick up." Zhuang Xun said honestly, he was about to find an opportunity to rent a house.
"The old woman also wants to go back to her hometown, the spirit pass is broken, and then it is Chengdieguan, Chengdieguan has been sealed, poor Xihe people outside the pass, Siqinjia is really a group of beasts, I heard that what kind of loyal martial arts has been sealed in Youguo, and he is also worthy of loyalty?" Filled with righteous indignation, the crutches kept knocking on the ground.
"Well, old lady, let's go buy first, the ingredients won't be fresh after a while." Glancing at Si Qinmi, she always smiled lightly.
"Go ahead." Old Madam Chen waved her hand.
Day by day it is getting more and more serious, whether it is begging or looking for work, with the influx of refugees and displaced people, Yin Du has also become bloated, and when he saw the child kneeling on the ground and moaning, Zhuang Xun looked back several times, and then withdrew his eyes.
"Ten Wen." Siqin Mi took out Shiwen and said.
"What?" Zhuang Xun looked at the ten cents, and then looked at the children begging.
"You can give ten things." Siqin Mi handed over the money to Zhuang Xun.
"Huh?"
"One hundred words for surplus wealth, ten words for generosity." Siqin Mi pushed Zhuang Xun, and Zhuang Xun took the copper coin and put it into the nearest bowls.
"Heaven is affectionate, and life is not expensive." After Zhuang Xun was done, Si Qin Mi took the initiative to take Zhuang Xun's hand and said.
"Well, is that what you've seen?" Zhuang Xun thought of her previous description and said.
"Yes, when you know that there are gods and fears when you raise your head, you don't know if you can accumulate merit if your good deeds are not out of your heart." Si Qinmi shook her head and said, I have seen the trial of the underworld, and the crime is prosecuted in front of the mirror, and those who are not kind must have a good heart.
"Okay, no matter what you do, no saint in your heart, did you do good deeds in the past from your heart?" Zhuang Xun affirmed that after all, no matter how good the kindness is, it is meaningless not to do it.
"Although there is a part of the pitiful, but most of them are still in order to earn fame, the world will change, no matter how much gold, silver and jewelry, it is not as good as a good reputation, can respond to a hundred calls, but many people do not understand this truth, after the smoke of the heavy gold and silver will be swept away, no matter how much food will be eaten up, only a hundred echoes of the reputation can obtain the ability to protect themselves in turbulence, and then continue to hold gold and silver grain." Si Qinmi did not mean to hide from Zhuang Xun.
"Yes, even if the Yu country is not destroyed by the ghost country, it will not be a country, treacherous dictatorship, miscellaneous taxes, natural disasters and man-made disasters, just waiting for the last straw that crushes the camel, this straw seems to be the attack of the ghost country, the land of right and wrong." Zhuang Xun shook his head and walked into the market with Si Qinmi.
I bought grain, tofu, green vegetables, some chicken with heartache, and charcoal fire, and the price skyrocketed, and it cost more than 20 yuan to buy a little bit.
Walking back home, there were several men of various ages standing at the door.
"Merchants, what's the matter, what's the wind blowing you in?" Zhuang Xun walked up, not knowing why.
"It's to apologize to Mr. Zhuang, we are also forced to do so, if we lend you the carriage, it will be difficult for us to do business, a small gift, not a respect." A middle-aged man in the lead, who was tanned by the sun, handed over the gift box and said.
"Hu Shangtou, I understand, I won't blame you, borrowing a car is love, not borrowing is duty, it is a stabbing job." Zhuang Xun was angry at the time, but when he looked back, people had no obligation to help him at all, and he and them were just a simple cooperative relationship, so he was relieved, and he took the gift box and said generously.
The most important thing is that he is short of money at the moment, these are his food and clothing, especially if he has a newly married wife at home, he can't just be angry.
"Mr. Zhuang is really lenient and gentlemanly." Hu Shangtou praised.
"In addition to apologizing, do you have to reconcile? But does everyone have to reconcile? Zhuang Xun didn't understand that these people usually have an agreed time, but they actually got together today.
"It's all a small business, and there is news that the merchants will be taxed again, and everyone is scared, and they all want to run out of Yin Capital quickly." Hu Shangtou smiled awkwardly.
"Old rule, you decide for yourselves, the order in which you give me the ledger." Zhuang Xun did not procrastinate, and first took the materials and gifts back to the house.
"Lang Jun, these are these?" As Zhuang Xun entered the house, Siqin Mi felt quite novel.
"The leaders of the caravan can't figure out the bills of the big commercial banks, as well as their own account problems, come to me to help sort out the accounts." Zhuang Xun explained.
