Chapter 10
The white cat slept soundly, because it was in Baimin Alley, and there were loud hawking sounds every day. It was so relaxed that it didn't hear any footsteps approaching it.

Only then did he react when his body was held down, he meowed, and he frantically broke free with his fangs and claws.

How could Shen Jingyuan let it escape, this is ten taels of silver!How many meat buns!
The white cat was completely caught, Shen Jingyuan and Li Shang looked at each other and smiled, they were so happy that they couldn't hold back their laughter.

Shen Jingyuan quickly said: "The vicious dog might come back in a while, let's run first!"

Just like that, the two rushed to the gate of Xuezheng's house with the white cat in their arms.

The salary of Xuezheng of the eighth grade is the same. He can't afford a mansion in Kyoto and is not qualified to be granted a mansion by the imperial court. Therefore, Tang Ziwei and his family bought a yard in the east of the city to live in.

Tang Ziwei's wife is called Chun Shi, the daughter of his mentor, and the white cat is named Ling Dang'er. Tang Ziwei entrusted a friend to buy it from a merchant in the Western Regions to relieve his wife's boredom.

But by coincidence, the previous month, when Chun Shi went out to burn incense with the wives of the noble families, Ling Dang'er suddenly jumped out of the window and escaped, and disappeared without a trace.

Chun's temperament was sentimental, and she cried several times when she returned home. Tang Ziwei had no choice but to post a reward order to coax his wife to see if anyone could find Bell.

And this post is in January, and gradually, I feel that I can't find it back.

Just as Chun was about to go to bed tonight, she heard the report from the woman outside the door.

"Ma'am, there are two beggars outside the door who say they found the bell."

Chun Shi was overjoyed and got up quickly.

Li Shang and Shen Jingyuan stood at the door of Tang's house. It was cold in the night. They were trembling with the white cat in their arms, looking expectantly at the person who was going to inform Tang's house.

The door opened.

A chubby woman wearing gold and silver was helped out by the mother-in-law and the maidservants. Looking at the white cat in their arms, her eyes lit up and she was overjoyed.

"The bell! It's really my bell!"

The maid beside the woman quickly carried the white cat over and handed it to the woman.

Chun was holding the bell, she was very happy, she was only thinking about the joy of finding it again, she completely forgot about the two people standing outside the door, and only looked over after she calmed down.

Looking up and down, one was wearing patches and the other was wearing linen clothes. The hemp shoes on the boy’s feet were all torn, and the toes were faintly exposed. They stood emaciated in the cold wind, as if they could be blown away by the wind. Although they are all pretty, the hair is really dry and frizzy like weeds.

A trace of disgust and disgust flashed in Chun's eyes, he grabbed a handful of copper coins from the old woman's hand and threw them: "Your reward."

Shen Jingyuan looked down at the dozens of copper coins on the ground, she stepped forward and grabbed the corner of the woman's clothes: "Madam, the reward stated in the reward order is ten taels."

Chun Shi was startled as if she was touched by something dirty, she let out a cry and couldn't help kicking Shen Jingyuan: "Ah! Don't touch me!"

Shen Jingyuan was kicked down, feeling a burning pain in the palm of her hand, raised her hand to see that Bai Nen's palm was scratched by the tiny stones on the ground.

The young man beside him stepped forward to help her up, saw the bloodshot from his palm, and stared fiercely at Chun with a pair of black eyes, he stepped forward and pushed her to the ground: "What are you doing!"

Chun Shi was frightened and shouted: "Bold!"

She was about to order the servants to arrest and beat him, but when she looked at the boy's abyss-like black eyes, she became frightened.

She was cherished by her father and her husband since she was born, and she grew up soaked in honey until she married a woman. She has never been treated like this by a pariah.

Chun felt a bit magnanimous, her husband is a student of the Imperial College, she should be more open-minded and generous, and not get angry with them.

"You common people, it is a great honor to serve an official. The reward has been paid. Don't be greedy, ten taels? Who knows if my bell is not returned after you saw it? Now come to my Tang mansion , I must see the reward of ten taels before my heart is moved."

Li Shang looked at her gloomyly, and suddenly smiled: "It's a great honor to work for an official?"

Mrs. Chun raised her head, almost looking at people with her nose: "It is a great honor for you, a pariah, to do things for us. Who wouldn't envy you for doing things for an official? Just be content with it."

Chun felt that talking to inferior people would degrade her status, so she didn't want to say more, so she let out a soft snort and was turned around by a few servants.

The door of the Tang family was closed, and Li Shang turned to look at Shen Jingyuan: "Jinjin, now do you know why I want to be an official and have power?"

Shen Jingyuan looked up at the young man, he stood alone in rags under the dim light, even if he was so poor, he had to stand upright.

He is philistine and cunning, he steals, he is playful, he is greedy and selfish, Shen Jingyuan has seen all these.

And it was the first time she saw this arrogance of not accepting her fate tonight.

Shen Jingyuan picked up the copper coins on the ground one by one, there were 43 coins in total, she pulled Li Shang's clothes corner, and said with a smile: "Let's go, I've been working so hard these days, let's go and have a good meal .”

She pulled him away, but Li Shang stopped, and he turned to look at the Tang family.

Shen Jingyuan tugged at him: "Oh, don't look at it, what are you fussing about with this kind of person."

Although I didn't get ten taels of silver, but 43 copper coins was a bit of a reward. The two went to the noodle stall and ordered two extravagant Yangchun noodles, with chopped green onion and an egg. Divide into two and add to two bowls
There are a total of 22 texts at the checkout.

This time, each person was full after eating one bowl, Shen Jingyuan patted her stomach contentedly, and dragged Li Shang back to the dead end.

On the way, Shen Jingyuan thought of the ups and downs along the way, and sighed: "Come on, the next world, the next world, arrange a better fate for me. It's best to use money to live without worrying about eating, drinking, and having fun until death." .”

Lai Qian also knew that Shen Jingyuan had suffered, and replied: "Don't worry, the next world will definitely make you feel so happy."

Cool to death?Not bad.

With the promise of money, Shen Jingyuan's mood improved a lot. It was Xushi when they returned to the dead end, and there was still a long time before the curfew at Zishi, but after the two of them were full, they were swept away by sleepiness, leaning against the corner and feeling faint I slept through the second day.

It was a bit cold last night, Shen Jingyuan couldn't sleep well intermittently, until the sun came out and warmed up, she really fell asleep under the sun in the blind alley.

It was almost noon when she woke up, but Li Shang was not by her side.

She didn't dare to wander around. The capital is so big, it's hard to say if there are any traffickers. She is still a road idiot, so she can only find a food stall nearby and ask for a steamed bun to hold in her arms.

It's cold in early autumn.

Her throat was itchy again, Shen Jingyuan sighed, she really caught the cold again.

Fortunately, this time it was not serious, just a slight cough.

She took a bite of white flour steamed buns and looked at passers-by, when she suddenly heard whispers from passers-by.

"It's really scary. That vicious dog in Baimin Lane is so ferocious that even my husband dared not get close to it, but that boy wanted to catch him with his bare hands."
