Chapter 82 The Beggar Boy
On the way out of the palace, there was a chill atmosphere everywhere. The patrolling soldiers, wearing heavy armor, made heavy and orderly clanging footsteps when they walked.

When Shen Jingcheng passed by those soldiers in armor, his eyes did not fluctuate in the slightest.

And the grain chiefs behind him all lowered their heads in fear, timidly following behind Shen Jingcheng like quails.Looking at it from a distance, it looks like a rooster with its chest up and its head up, leading a chicken cub that he has never seen in the world, to come out to see the world.

On the high city wall, a young man in a black robe didn't pay attention to the scene below. He just looked at the imperial city in sight and the capital in the distance, his eyes filled with secret excitement.

Soon, soon the world will be his.

Soon, he can do whatever he wants, no need to please anyone against his will, no need to look at anyone's face.

The young man on the wall looked into the distance, high-spirited and smug, while the young man under the wall looked ahead calmly, putting aside the affairs of the imperial city.

Coming out of the palace, Shen Jingcheng took Gu Jin and his entourage, and drove the goods brought in by the ox cart to the city gate.

There will be a bloody storm here, so leave early and good morning.

Because they brought goods back this time, the walking speed was not so fast, so Gu Jin and Shen Jingcheng simply walked slowly, and before reaching a bustling town, they stopped to see if there were any specialties in the town. Bring some more by the way.

At the same time, a young man in a mess came to the distant Shenjia Village. His hair covered his face, he was dressed in rags, and his footsteps were so flimsy that he would faint on the ground in the next second. Looking around vigilantly, I really thought he was just an ordinary beggar.

He hadn't eaten for a long time, and there were flowers in front of his eyes. He didn't know where to go, and he didn't know if there was any place in this world that could accommodate him.

In one night, his father died and his mother died. He went from being an unfavorable son in the Hou's mansion to a prisoner all of a sudden. However, those people probably didn't expect him to escape, right?

Haha, ridiculous.

You actually want him to die instead of that elder brother, why?
Having given birth to him but never raised him, his life has always been his own, so why should he die for others?
Are those people panicking now?

It deserves it, just like what the high-ranking lady said, people should be killed, just like his elder brother who always looked at him with a haughty face like an ant, he should be dead He should not live.

But, I'm so hungry...

In the distance, the young man saw a place where people were coming and going, and there were some faint shouts of selling goods in his ears. He staggered over and wanted to find a restaurant to ask for something to eat, but this street There doesn't seem to be any restaurants on the site.

The boy couldn't hold on anymore, he staggered at the door of a shop, and fell to the ground with a plop.

Gu Xiu was arranging the embroidery thread when she was startled by the sound at the door. She turned her head and saw a dirty beggar lying on his back with his feet up. The man's lips were all dry and his breathing was weak like It's almost like dying.

Seeing this, Gu Xiu looked into the shop, and found that there were only two peaches that she brought when she came here this morning, and there was nothing to eat, so she took the peaches and walked towards him.

"do you want to eat?"

The young man heard a crisp voice in a trance, opened his eyes with difficulty, and saw a handsome girl squatting beside him, holding two small peaches in her hands, and was passing them to him.

He subconsciously swallowed a mouthful of saliva, he couldn't care about anything else, he suddenly gained strength, snatched the peach from the girl's hand and gnawed it, without even having time to remove the fluffy skin.

Gu Xiu was taken aback by his sudden movement, but seeing that his chapped lips were bleeding from eating with his mouth open, she didn't say anything, just went back to the shop and ordered the maid who was accompanying her.

"Xiao Xia, go home and get some food."

"Hey." The maid named Xiaoxia agreed, and went to the back yard after turning her head. After a while, she brought a steamed bun and brought Gu Xiu two more peaches.

After Gu Xiu took the peaches, she asked Xiao Xia to give the steamed buns to the young man, and then continued to sort out the silk threads and embroidered cloth in the shop.

The boy didn't leave after eating the peaches and steamed buns, but sat in a corner, quietly looking at the street. Everyone in the street seemed to know this girl, and they all called her Miss Xiu'er.

Is that the girl's name?
Xiu'er, it sounds really nice.

The boy didn't leave again, but stayed here.

Stumbled along the way, he had seen too much indifference, and finally met such a person who was willing to give him food, he didn't want to leave.

In his eyes, this girl is like his last straw, which he wants to grab.

He knew that it was shameful for him to do this, but he had no other choice.

Gu Xiuer saw that he had been wandering here, and after bringing him steamed buns twice, she frowned and said, "You have hands and feet, why don't you go to work to earn food, and you are always waiting for others to give you alms? Can I give it to you every day?"

The boy's face was flushed by what she said. Although his face was so dirty that he couldn't see any color, he still felt that his face was hot.

"Then, can I work for you?"

Gu Xiu choked when he asked her, she was an embroidery shop, and all she came into contact with were women, why would she want a man, but looking at his pitiful eyes, she couldn't say anything to refuse, and finally said : "You come with me."

The boy thought she was going to accept him, so he immediately stood up and followed her.

Gu Xiu led him out of the shop street, pointed to the large field being harvested in the north, and said: "There are people there every day, ten copper coins a day, or grain of the same price, you can go there, I am here. Shop, it's not good to ask for a man."

The young man looked at the large field to the north, then at Gu Xiu's fair side face, and wanted to say that he knew how to farm, but he couldn't say it.

If he said he didn't know how to farm, would the girl think he was useless?

However, Gu Xiu can't do anything else, but he knows how to look at his face. Look at his dirty but delicate hands, with a serious expression, and said: "People have to support themselves, and those who can't learn, there will always be a day when they learn." .”

After finishing speaking, Gu Xiu turned her head and left, she really felt so.

Just like she knew that she was not suitable for studying, so she carefully wrote down the skills of relationship embroidery that Gu Jin told her, and worked hard to figure it out.

Embroidering every day, who is not tired, who will not be bored.But one has to know something, right?

She knew that she couldn't rely on her sister and brother-in-law for the rest of her life. It was her blessing that her sister and brother-in-law treated her well, but she couldn't just rely on her life with peace of mind. Relying on sister and brother-in-law, how shameless is that?
