I am born with insufficiency

Chapter 121 Peach Blossom Beauty Makeup ([-])
The plague ensued with the strange cold.

Although King Ji tried every means to apply medicine for treatment, and Wang Shangshu also opened a warehouse to provide porridge, but it was still a drop in the bucket.

Medicine and porridge are easy to handle, but there is nothing to do with the charcoal used for heating. It seems that there is a mysterious force controlling the coal transaction, even King Ji.

Countless victims of disasters flocked to the capital one after another as if they were bewitched by others, and looting occurred from time to time. Most of the people had to close their doors and shops, and even the brothels were no longer open to receive customers. , The city was in a state of depression.

At the same time, more and more people died of cold, hunger and illness.

However, Gu Buquan didn't make a fortune like Hua rattles the bell.

They set up a coffin shop in the courtyard of Fujia in Luoyanpo, and Ling An also worked very hard to saw and plan every day, and even Hua Rattle would help out a little from time to time, and the coffins were packed all over the yard.

Many people inquired about the cheap coffins here, so they went here to buy them. The coffins were quickly swept away, and the nearby forests had been cut down and burned for warmth. Ling'an had to go deeper into the mountains to log. This is enough to make a new coffin.

If the business is good, it stands to reason that if you don't make a fortune, you should earn enough for living expenses, right?
But he couldn't bear to bear the burden and was soft-hearted. When he saw those poor people, he couldn't bear to collect money. The best coffins were half sold and half given away.Sometimes, I even grab a few more eggs and give them to others.

As a result, instead of making a fortune, the coffin shop was unable to make ends meet.

Ling An was very calm, and he still got up early every day to start sawing wood.

"The more coffins you make, the more you lose. What else do you do? It's better to chop firewood and make a fire to keep warm."

It's fine to send the coffin for nothing, and also send eggs, Hua Rattle was really angry, and snatched it back.

The coffin doesn't make any money, and it's all about exchanging eggs for copper boards to get by, so it's no wonder that the bells are buzzing.

Gu Buquan smiled and said: "It happens that poor people come to buy coffins these few days. When I meet a good customer next time, I will definitely sell them for a good price."

Turning around, Ling An was hammering nails into a thick board.

"One piece of wood can't saw two boards. With such a thick board and so many nails, who will use it as the treasure of the shop? Are you trying to make me lose money?"

Gu Buquan didn't reflect on her own reasons, but blamed Ling An for making too thick coffin boards and using too many coffin nails, which cost her money.

"That's right, do you think every coffin is the treasure of the shop?" Hua Yaoling cursed with her hands on her hips.

"Hmm. Money pickers sometimes miscalculate." Ling An responded.

Gu Buquan kicked him without saying a word.

He smiled, still sawing the thick boards, using the most nails to make the coffins solid, trying to make every coffin a "treasure of the town store".

She watched Ling An earnestly making the coffin, and felt that the warmth in her heart was enough to resist the coldness in her body. No matter whether he is Ling An or a fool, at least he is a kind-hearted person, isn't he?
So, she went up to pat his dirty clothes, and he stopped and grinned at her.

She responded with a bright smile.

Master said, don't take advantage of others and don't suffer. This time, she suffered a big loss and seriously violated Master's teachings, but she felt that the loss was worth it.

It doesn't matter if the coffin loses money, and she will still help out when she meets poor people.

"Enough." Hua rang the bell angrily, waking the two of them awake, and the chicken was also beaten by her, clucking and flying around.

Sun Xiaokong was having a great time playing with Gouzi, and was startled by the flower rattle, but Gu Buquan and Ling An were very quiet, so they went to play in peace.

This is the point where even monkeys don't like to talk to her?That's no good, pick up the broom and chase after Sun Xiaokong.

"Xiaosheng thought that the coffin shop should be safe for both humans and ghosts, but why is it so frivolous?"

Chen Chuzhi's loud voice sounded from outside the fence. He was dressed in green hair and homemade scholarly clothes, and he still had the sour and rotten air of a nerd.

"His Royal Highness Ji, Ji, Ji." Hua Yaoling had never felt so guilty before, and she couldn't speak fluently.

Little Eunuch Gao was dressed as a book boy, and he pushed open the fence door first, and let Chen Chuzhi in respectfully, while he himself carried a big bag on his shoulder, and walked awkwardly, which was really impressive. People can't help being cold and handsome.

Gu Buquan suddenly remembered that the figure he saw in front of the dungeon in Qingzhou Mansion was so strange at that time, but it turned out to be Little Gao Gonggong.

Hey, why didn't I think it was him then?
Therefore, King Ji is not only targeting Xichen Tea House, but has already begun to investigate a series of cases in Qingzhou Prefecture and even in Fuzhou Prefecture. .

For Gu Buquan, he is just King Ji, not Brother Chen, he is much farther away from her than Ling An is.

Now that he has revealed his identity as King Ji, what is he doing in the coffin shop dressed like a scholar today?
"Xiaosheng Chen Chuzhi, came to visit my younger sister."

"I've seen the prince." Gu gave a respectful salute.

Chen Chuzhi asked with a smile, "Sister Incomplete doesn't need to be so polite, I'm still your Brother Chen, and you are still Younger Sister Incomplete, okay?"

Gu Buquan didn't answer.

Chen Chuzhi had no choice but to ask again: "How is my sister recently?"

Gu Buquan replied: "My lord, the little girl is very kind, I don't need you to miss her."

"What do you mean very good? Give away the coffin, give away the eggs, and almost give away the chicken. I'm about to freeze to death and starve to death. How good is it?"

Hua Rattle interrupted and complained, not daring to speak loudly in front of King Ji and Eunuch Gao, only daring to whisper.

"Hmph." Little Eunuch Gao raised his chin, squinted at the flowers and rang the bell, "Did the lord let you speak? When will it be your turn to talk so much!"

Hua Yaoling shut up immediately, and retreated to the side like an eggplant beaten by frost, not daring to look up at Chen Chuzhi again.

"My lord knows that you are in trouble, so I specially sent you rice noodles and silver. Why don't you thank your lord, no, thank you, Brother Chen."

Gu Buquan took a look, there was a big bag of rice and flour filled with money, why not call Brother Chen for these?
"Thank you, Brother Chen."

Chen Chuzhi's smile immediately spread away, and little Eunuch Gao also rubbed his hands and looked overjoyed for his master, looking very ridiculous.

"Thank you, Brother Chen."

Unexpectedly, Ling An also imitated Gu Buquan and yelled, and Chen Chuzhi's smile froze.

Eunuch Gao immediately scolded: "Bold, is your name Brother Chen?"

Ling An didn't panic, and pointed at Gu Buquan: "Her elder brother is also my elder brother."

Little Eunuch Gao hummed heavily: "Just you, do you want to compete with the prince for beauty?"

Chen Chuzhi coughed and stopped the little eunuch Gao, and said to Ling An with a slight smile, "There is no prince here, I am Chen Chuzhi, you are an idiot, how about we compete fairly?"

Then he turned to Gu Buquan and said, "Sister Buquan always likes fairness. Although he met my sister before me, can my sister give Xiaosheng a fair chance?"

Uh... Gu Buquan was so embarrassed that he didn't know how to answer, and he caught a glimpse of the big bag of rice noodles on the ground.

"Fool, nail the coffin boards carefully, and I have to send them to the Zhang family in the west of the city tomorrow. Brother Chen, please separate the rice and noodles into several bags. It will be more convenient for you to distribute the rice and noodles in several streets tomorrow when you enter the city."

The best way to resolve the embarrassment is to talk about him from left to right.

"Okay."

The two spoke in unison, and immediately started to do their own things happily.

"No, you guys, this?" Hua Yaoling was dumbfounded, but she came to her senses in an instant, and hurriedly said, "Then let me help pack the rice noodles together."

There is a big tree like King Ji, and there will be endless rice and noodles in the future, so why care about this moment?Besides, don't you still have so much silver?
How could the lord do things like packing rice noodles himself? Naturally, Eunuch Gao did it for him. He just talked on the sidelines, but soon he felt that something was wrong. , He nailed the coffin, and she handed over the nails, and the cooperation was incomparably tacit.

Between hand and hand, he and she would still look at each other and smile, completely ignoring the people around them.

On the other hand, on my own side, where did Eunuch Gao do such rough work as a servant?In addition, he doesn't like flower rattles very much, and the two of them can't get along well, and they are in a mess.

But at this time, Hua Rattle approached him, and lowered his voice to call him.

"My lord." Hua Yaoling glanced at Ling An and said in a low voice, "Your lord, you have to be careful, he is the General Ling who was offered a reward of 1000 taels by the God Detective Department."

"Oh?" Chen Chuzhi asked with a smile, "So what?"

"The prince's reward will be more or less than that of the god arrester, but the little girl knows in her heart that she never dares to ask the prince for the reward, but just ask the prince to take care of the little girl in the future."

Hua Yaoling smiled charmingly at Chen Chuzhi.

"Hmm." Before Chen Chuzhi could answer, the little eunuch Gao had already sneered back at her, "Don't act petty and narrow-minded in front of the lord, the lord doesn't like it. Also, you little girl, stay away from the lord in the future, and be careful that no one in our family is not good enough." Be careful tearing you up."

Hua Yingling's complexion turned pale immediately, and she didn't dare to speak any more. She looked at the pair of slender fingers of Little Gao, which looked more terrifying than Ling An's two-finger knife, or she would have had a seizure earlier.

And Chen Chuzhi kept smiling.

"Is the coffin shop owner there?" A soft and gentle voice sounded.

I saw a young woman standing outside the fence, she didn't go in, but just handed over a piece of paper and said, "I want a good coffin, and it will be delivered to this place in three days."

She smiled slightly with the corners of her mouth curled up, her voice was soft and soft, and she was very beautiful, especially with a pink peach blossom painted on her forehead, and the red lip balm on her lips was as light as petals, Gu Buquan was very happy at first glance.

A plain hand handed over a deposit of one tael, then bent down and said all blessings, turned around and left Shi Shiran.

She is a delicate, beautiful and polite woman, but she doesn't look like a woman whose family needs a coffin.
