Xie Liangchen was drawing with his back straight and his sleeves raised. Hearing Jiang Fatya's words, his hands subconsciously paused, and Mo became confused. He frowned slightly, and with a flick of his pen, the mushy ink instantly blended into the landscape, leaving no trace behind.
However, he did not raise his head and said in a steady voice: "There are many people in her house every day, what's so strange about her?"
"I'm telling you, don't cause trouble for her again. Don't keep an eye on her home for nothing. Your illness has just subsided. Do you want to be dealt with again?"
After hearing this, Ah Fu smiled with his eyes rolling: "Master, what am I still afraid of now? That good-for-nothing husband of Jiang Fatya has already run away. Now that Jiang Fatya has been abandoned, you don't know, Everyone in the village knows that there is a beautiful little widow in our village who has good medical skills. There are many people watching her. Yesterday when I went out, some people asked me about her. "
< br>
As he said that, Ah Fu couldn't help but clicked his tongue twice: "I didn't expect that after Fatty Jiang lost weight, she would still have some beauty. It was like she was a different person. Yesterday, I saw her going up the mountain to pick food. Guozi, many men in the village came to show their courtesy to her. ”
When Xie Liangchen heard this, he stopped writing, raised his eyes and glanced at Ah Fu: "What exactly do you want to say?"
Ah Fu rubbed his hands and glanced at Xie Liangchen's face: "Master, I want to ask you, do you really mean this?"
Xie Liangchen frowned: "What do you mean?"
Ah Fu: "That's what I mean."
Ah Fu continued: "You don't know, I saw another man coming to her house today. He was helping to fetch water and chop firewood in the yard. He was very busy."
"There is also the man named Ma. He is the man from the Ma family who works for the Yamen. I saw him also carrying a basket to give gifts to Jiang Fatty."
"Those are just muddy legs. They are not as good as the good-for-nothing husband Jiang Fatty had before. Compared with you, young master, they are as good as in heaven or on earth."
Ah Fu said, his words turned out to be quite sincere: "You have reached your age now. I think among these ten miles and eight villages, only Jiang Fatya is okay. We masters and servants say some selfish things." , she must still have a clean body. She is always happy. As for you, you just refused to sleep in the same room with that man. Later, the man became ill and couldn't do anything. Later, everyone ran away. I think they disliked Jiang Fatty's previous appearance and refused to take her. She.”
"However, there are quite a few men who come and go with her family, but Jiang Fatya doesn't seem to be tempted. Master, what do you think this is for?"
Xie Liangchen's hand holding the pen suddenly tightened, and he withdrew his gaze in a slight panic. He sat back at the original table and continued to paint, but he didn't write for a while. He said straightly: "How do I know what she is thinking?"
Ah Fu, however, approached Xie Liangchen and said firmly: "I think she is definitely waiting for you! Otherwise, why did she work so hard on a diet to become beautiful?"
"Don't talk nonsense!"
Xie Liangchen looked at Ah Fu in shock.
A Fu flinched and continued: "Master, it's not that I'm unscrupulous in my words. Think about it, Jiang Fatty has seen a handsome husband like you, how can she like those mud-legged people? Well, I just took a peek and found that she is really working hard now. She has so many children to support, and there are old people above her. She was abandoned by her husband, and she is taking care of the family business. But those people are not her relatives. Ah.
You know the wolf cubs in her family. The eldest brother was expelled from the academy, the second child has been sneaking around since he was a child, and the younger one has sharp teeth at all, so it is obvious that he is not a good person.
Let me see, even if she raises her children in the future, she will not be intimate with her, and maybe she will become a tiger, and no bones will be left to be chewed by those children.
Young Master, she came from our house after all. Can you just watch her in misery and not save her? At least she helped the young master heal your arm. ”
Xie Liangchen pursed his lips and noticed something was wrong when he heard this. He squinted his eyes and looked at Ah Fu: "So, what do you think?" Ah Fu was still immersed in his own imagination: "I think, young master, we might as well Are you going to propose marriage too? Marry Jiang Nuanzhi and live a beautiful life with you. Our family will live well as before. When you and she have two children, she will no longer have to help others raise their children. You are still different from her husband. No matter how difficult it is, you will not do it because of her. Don't you want her appearance? She will be moved by then.
Jiang Fatya has always been able to make money, so marrying her will naturally not worry about food and drink. It will definitely be much smoother for you to go to Beijing to take the exam in the future. When we have money, we can buy two more slaves to do the work and live the good life before"
By the end of the sentence, Ah Fu's lips were split to his ears.
He has really had enough of this life.
I really can’t see the end.
He went to work in the town for the past two days, but people thought he was a slave and refused to use him. In the end, he could only go to the dock to carry bags for others, which would earn Baba more than ten pence a day. Now he has calluses on his shoulders.
In the past two days, the young master's hand has finally recovered and he can paint, and his life has become a little easier. But the young master's paintings are not as valuable as they used to be!
Once upon a time, the young master was a young marquis, and a painting could be worth thousands of taels of silver.
But in this wilderness, these people don’t even recognize him! Some people even asserted that the young master's painting was a fake, imitating Mr. Xie Xiaohou's painting. They knew that someone was trapping them, so they had to eat and drink, so they had no choice but to bite the bullet and be bargained by those people. The man squeezed me so hard that he only gave me ten taels of silver for a painting.
He also said that if one piece was sold, the price of the second piece would be halved.
This painting is the third one that the young master has sold, and I think he can only get two and a half taels of silver. Now the whole family can barely make ends meet by relying on the young master's paintings and the dozen or so coins he earns from carrying bags.
Food prices are increasing day by day, and I don’t know how to survive this winter.
There will be a quiz next year, and there is still plenty of room for money. You can’t just sit back and have nothing with these ten taels of silver, right?
He even thought about going to work at Jiang Fatya's house. He heard that his workers could be given twenty cash a day, and they also provided food.
One day when he was passing by, he could smell the aroma of meat from a distance. Who would hire workers to eat meat these days? He was so greedy that his mouth watered! It's a pity that even though he licked his face and asked for it, Jiang Fatya didn't give him a piece.
Even if he wanted to do some work, Jiang Fatya wouldn't do it.
"You dare to talk nonsense! I think you really want to be punished!" Xie Liangchen got angry and stood up violently. The ink stained the corners of his clothes, but he didn't seem to notice it. He pointed to the door and said angrily: "Kneel outside for two hours and clear your mind!"
"Master, I..."
"Get out!"
Ah Fu got really angry when he saw Xie Liangchen, and went out on his knees in despair. However, I still don't understand why the young master suddenly became angry.
However, Xie Liangchen clenched his fists tightly and pursed his lips for a while. Finally, he made up his mind and stood up and left the room. (End of chapter)
