Fusheng looked at the money in Xie Liangchen's hand and pushed it back anxiously: "Brother Xie, thank you, but it's really no need. I already have the money now."
"Fusheng, you and I are classmates. , why are you being polite to me?" Xie Liangchen sighed. : "Don't refuse. How come I don't know about your family situation? Although the money is not much, you go to the emergency first. I have just paid taxes and I don't have much money. Let's hold on for a while, and I will spend some time. When your hands are healed, you will be able to paint. When the time comes, you can paint in exchange for money. , you just need to concentrate on studying."
"Brother Xie, you really don't need it, you see I have money," he said, taking the silver bag that Jiang Nuanzhi gave him from his arms. He took it out and said, "There are ten taels of silver here, enough for me to solve all the problems at home." There is no need to sell the land anymore.”
“Where did you get the money?”
Fusheng lowered his eyebrows and patted the younger sister on the shoulder. , you go and take care of your mother first.”
Fuman glanced at his brother worriedly and went in.
When they were the only two left outside the yard, Fusheng said: "Brother Xie, I sold myself and my little sister."
Xie Liangchen's Qingjun's eyebrows were full of shock. :"you ! You are so confused! Fusheng, how can you ruin your future so easily?" He stamped his feet anxiously: "No, who did you sell yourself to? This thing is done Come on, don't worry about the money, I will find a way."
Fusheng finally grabbed Xie Liangchen: "Brother Xie, what else can you do? Look, your wrists are swollen. Yes, I have been copying books recently. Did you copy too much? The doctor said that it is best to take care of the injury on your wrist. There are so many mouths in your family now, and you are alone. I think it will be difficult in the future, so I will not increase your burden. ”
How could Fu Sheng not know that the old brother Xie Qingfeng Jiyue was always spotless. The hair is also meticulous. Not even someone who would give up for five buckets of rice.
A few days ago, he saw that he only ate a dry pancake, not even a pickle. Laugh with me and write letters to people. My wrist is swollen as I write, having just made so much money. It's less than what you earn as a waiter. It seemed that he hadn't filled in his pen for a long time, and the clothes he wore were a lot too short, and they obviously didn't fit him well. Even now, he is no longer the same as when we first met him. Naturally, he couldn't hold him back.
"What are you talking about?" Xie Liangchen looked a little embarrassed, but still said: "Nowadays, life is more difficult, but I am not afraid of it. As long as I pass the exam next year, I will be a Tongsheng student." , life will be easier, and if you become a scholar, all these taxes will be waived. You must not give up your studies."
Fusheng smiled and nodded: "Well, I will, but, thank you brother, I will. This time I sold myself to the village, and I won't go too far. The owner is tolerant and can take some time to come back and see my mother. This way, my mother's illness can be settled and I can live there. My sister and I don’t have to go hungry anymore. In the future, if I can earn more money, I can take the exam after my death. Don’t worry, brother Xie, I won’t give up my studies.
Xie Liangchen hesitated for a while. times, but in the end he didn’t say anything, he just patted him on the shoulder: “If you have any difficulties in the future, come to me at any time”
He thought that when his wrist recovered, he could paint paintings in exchange for money, and then redeem people. It's just that you're going to suffer for a while.
"Don't worry, Brother Xie, I will do it."
"Come back soon, your mother is anxious to come."
"I will send you thank you, Brother."< br>
Xie Liangchen waved his hand, turned around minding his own business, and strode away.
It was a hot summer day. Walking in the shade under the trees and facing the breeze, it should have felt comfortable and cool, but Xie Liangchen felt that his heart was clogged.
The world is getting harder and harder.
He can't do anything now.
Looking at the two taels of silver left in his hand, he subconsciously glanced in the direction of Jiang Nuan's house. Perhaps, he should look for her again.
If this wrist can't be cured, he really won't be able to hold on anymore.
He also went to many places to look at his wrist these days. However, the efficacy is not very good. On the contrary, he got better after Jiang Fatya gave him acupuncture last time. I just don't know if these two taels of silver can cure him. Jiang Fatya seems to charge a lot of money for treating him.
Unknowingly, he arrived at the door of Jiang Nuanzhi's house. Xie Liangchen hesitated several times but did not go in, and finally turned back home.
When I got home, I slapped my forehead in a daze. This idiot forgot to ask Fusheng to whom he sold himself. Forget it, let’s ask again when we see him later.
The other end.
A simple and spacious carriage was parked on the desert road.
Beside the carriage, a group of people had just settled down.
The Magpie Doctor squatted down to brew the medicine: "Your Majesty, do you feel better after using up the morning medicine? Are you still dizzy today?"
The thin man with a noble air sat on the On the stool, he looked like he was no more than thirty years old, but there were traces of white hair on his temples. His hair was meticulously tied up high, with a purple gold jade crown on top. At first glance, he was not angry or intimidating, but he looked very sick. After listening to the words of the miracle doctor, he just shook his head and said, "Ahem. Don't worry, I'm fine. I still have a few days to get to the miracle doctor's residence." ?”
Magpie Doctor: “It will take about three days to return to the emperor.”
The emperor nodded lightly and turned to enjoy the scenery along the way.
However, after seeing the group of people behind him, his pupils shrank. He pointed at the people in the distance with trembling fingers, and asked with a stern face: "What are those officers and soldiers doing?"
The magic doctor followed the emperor's line of sight and couldn't help but wipe the sweat from his forehead. : "I think you are escorting the guilty slaves, right? Your Majesty, how are you doing?" I'm not fit for the breeze now, why don't I wait in the carriage first?"
"Where is the sin slave? This is a conscription."
"What kind of conscription is this? Shut up. " Sanqi was interrupted by the magic doctor Magpie mid-sentence.
The miracle doctor accompanied Xiao Xiao to see the emperor: "Your Majesty, please don't listen to his nonsense."
"Don't try to fool me. Do you really think I'm blind? I saw many officers and soldiers along the way. It's time for them to collect tax money. Why did they take these men away? Wang Yong, tell me, what's going on? !”
The old minister named Wang Yong beside him looked at the man who was about sixty years old, with white hair and beard. Angry, just when I was about to say something, I saw the magpie doctor beside me, but I couldn't hold it back: "Your Majesty, the dragon body is important. Wait until your poison is cured, and I will report it again."
"Well done. ! Don’t tell me! I’ll ask myself!”
He walked to the field next to him.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, the dragon body is in danger." Everyone around him immediately went to help him.
"Go away, don't support me, stay where you are and don't move, I will chop off the head of anyone who moves."
He said, walked to the field and sat next to an old farmer in the field.
"Old man, let me ask you something. What happened to those people just now?" (End of Chapter)
