Chapter 62: Old Things II
Jiang Liu never thought in his life that he would be rescued by Lu Yunjin.
He worked three small jobs, one of which was serving dishes and washing dishes in a restaurant, and the shopkeeper refused to give him his monthly money for more than half a year.
In a hurry, Jiang stayed in the restaurant and instigated other servants to ask for wages together.
As a result, at the entrance of the restaurant, on the street of Jinling City, Jiang Liu was beaten to death with sticks by several people.
The stick fell on his body, Jiang Liu wanted to beg for mercy, he wanted to live, but knowing that begging for mercy was useless, he gritted his teeth and waited for himself to be beaten to death.
Suddenly, the messy stick on his body stopped, and he heard the shopkeeper of the restaurant flattering in a daze: "Miss Lu, you can't see this meeting, let's move people away...... Hey Miss Lu, this thing is very bloody, you better stop looking at it. ”
The shopkeeper failed to stop Lu Yunjin, Lu Yunjin walked up to him and was silent for a moment when he saw his face clearly.
Then she said: "I lack a few guards, this person looks quite resistant to beating, I want it." ”
……
Lu Yunjin bought a house casually, Jiang stayed in, and slept on a sturdy bed for the sweetest sleep in years.
It's not a rotten bed that creaks when you turn over, there are no doors and windows that rattle when the wind blows, and there is no Zhao Yuan's deafening snoring.
It's so comfortable.
After two days of eating and sleeping well in this house, Jiang Liu looked at the rainless roof and thought to himself, if he could live this day every day, what kind of merit would he test?
Two days later, Lu Yunjin came.
He lay in the quilt and pretended to be dead, Lu Yunjin snorted coldly: "I learned a good lesson that day, but now what's wrong, I've been retributed and dumb?" In that case, I will return you to Chunfeng Building......"
That's not good, the shopkeeper of Chunfeng Building will kill him!
Jiang Liu hurriedly lifted the quilt and sat up, lowered his head, and scratched his head.
"I misunderstood that day, I thought you were deliberately cheating money, I didn't know you were Miss Lu......"
Lu Yunjin asked him with a cold face: "Fortunately, I didn't conceive a child, otherwise I would have asked you to marry me." ”
Jiang Liu: "???? ”
She is Lu Yunjin, the daughter of the editor of the Hanlin Academy, and whoever doesn't want to marry is a fool.
But just touching it, it was still 108,000 miles away from being pregnant.
"I offended that day, I will make amends to the girl," Jiang Liu bowed deeply, and then said, "Don't worry, girl, the girl's innocence is still there, and the marriage should be decided by the parents......"
There are countless toads who want to eat swan meat, he is self-aware, with Lu Yunjin's background and appearance, even if he goes to the palace to be a mother, it is possible.
If it weren't for the fact that the current emperor has a soft spot for Concubine Chen, how could this first beauty in Jinling not be included in the harem?
Unexpectedly, the words "parents are in charge" aroused Lu Yunjin's disgust.
"Pedanty, my life is up to me, why should it be up to my parents?"
This shocking and rebellious sentence made Jiang Liu raise his head sharply and look at her breathtaking eyes.
Lu Yunjin said: "My eldest sister obeyed the orders of her parents to marry the Zhongshu squire, and the wedding was less than a year old, she was widowed every day, and her husband often did not return to the house, even if she returned to the house, she lingered in the beds of various concubines, calling her a wife and making people laugh. I don't want to listen to my parents! ”
Jiang Liu declined to comment.
There are many such things in this noble house. The world is only ordinary.
He just said: "The girl is a country and a city, no matter who she marries, she will not be treated coldly." ”
Lu Yunjin looked at him and said, "That's not necessarily, aren't you indifferent to my appearance?" ”
Jiang Liu explained: "It's not that I'm indifferent, it's just ......"
It's just that at first when she was a female ghost, she was naturally afraid. Then he only cared about the money bag, and without the money he would starve to death.
At that moment, who can have the leisure to be overwhelmed by her beauty?
He couldn't say why, but Lu Yunjin admired him.
"Good, you got my attention."
……
In order to avenge the refusal to borrow any money at that time, Lu Yunjin took a bag of silver and smashed it on Jiang Liu, humiliating him fiercely.
"Poor sour ghost, I've never seen so much money in my life, right? Take a hanging copper plate as your life, you really haven't seen the world. Tell you, that money is nothing to me! ”
"You're rewarded!"
She thought that Jiang Liu's stunned expression was that her self-esteem had been hurt by it.
After all, if someone else smashed her with money, she would only be angry.
Unexpectedly, behind her, Jiang Liuzhi picked up the heavy money bag like a treasure, this money bag was still made of pearlescent brocade cloth, and the embroidery was very exquisite.
And the back of her turning around was imprinted in Jiang Liu's heart at this moment, truly like a fairy descending to earth.
This, is this really for him?
Fucking don't bend his waist for five buckets of rice, since he was almost beaten to death for begging for monthly money, he feels more and more that if he bends his waist, he can get five buckets of rice, he can break his waist!
Jiang Liu took the money, went out to buy clothes, bought some food and wine, and went back to the dilapidated house where he lived before.
"Brother, I'm back!"
Zhao Yuan and Zhou Chengshi were shaking their heads and reading, seeing that he was carrying wine and food, Zhou Chengshi stretched his neck to see what kind of food and what kind of wine it was.
Zhao Yuanyi patted him on the shoulder, "Brother, where did you go during this time?" We thought ......"
The day before he went to the restaurant to collect debts, Jiang Liu told them that he was going to do a very dangerous thing, but they refused to explain how they asked him.
The next day, he went out early in the morning and never came back, which made Zhao Yuan and Zhou Chengshi unable to sleep peacefully for most of the month.
I've lived together for so long, and there's always a sense of affection.
Zhou Chengshi took a closer look at the new clothes on his body.
"You've made a fortune!"
Zhao Yuan also noticed his change and speculated: "You shouldn't do anything hurtful!" ”
Jiang Liu did not answer, he spread out the wine and food he bought on the stone table in the courtyard, waited for them to eat the fragrant roast chicken, drank the wine, and gave each of them a piece of broken silver.
After all, it was a bitter one, and there was a little sweetness, and he also wanted to share it with his brothers.
Zhou Chengshi pushed the broken silver back in front of him: "Ill-gotten gains, I don't want them." ”
Zhao Yuan pinched the broken silver in his hand and rubbed it, reluctant, but he also reached out and put the broken silver with Zhou Chengshi's.
"Chengshi is right, we don't want ill-gotten gains."
They are willing to suffer the food that comes from them, but they cannot suffer ill-gotten gains, which is the bottom line of their self-proclaimed literati.
Jiang Liu reluctantly confessed: "You just have to take it, this is not some ill-gotten gain, this money was given to me by Lu Yunjin." ”
Zhao Yuan looked at him in shock.
"Is there no threshold for the Lu Mansion to recruit people? Even you can serve Lu Yunjin? ”
Jiang Liudao: "No, Lu Yunjin looks up to me and raises me in another courtyard for me to eat and wear, she doesn't want me to serve him." ”
To tell the truth, Lu Yunjin saw that he was beaten badly, and he was moved by compassion, but there was a revenge psychology that night was at work, Lu Yunjin didn't know how to relieve his anger, so he kept him in captivity in the house, ready to wait for him to recover from his injuries before retaliating.
It just came out of his mouth and changed the taste.
Zhao Yuan snorted and said, "Do your spring and autumn dreams, you, Lu Yunjin will raise you?" I am the king of heaven, so that your dream can be fulfilled! ”
Jiang Liu said seriously: "It's true." ”
Zhou Chengshi looked at him with hatred: "If you don't want to tell us where you made your fortune, we won't force you, but you really don't have to make it up." Those who are sincere are also the way of heaven, and those who think sincerely are also ...... of the way of man"
