The palace wall reflects the moon

Chapter 62 Old Stories [-]

Jiang Liu never thought that he would be rescued by Lu Yunjin.

He worked three small jobs, one of which was serving dishes and washing dishes in a restaurant. The shopkeeper refused to give him his monthly payment for more than half a year.

In desperation, Jiang stayed in the restaurant and instigated other boys to ask for wages together.

As a result, Jiang Liu was beaten to death by several people with sticks at the entrance of the restaurant, on the busy street of Jinling City.

When the stick fell on him, Jiang Liu wanted to beg for mercy. He wanted to live, but knowing that begging for mercy was of no use, he gritted his teeth and waited for himself to be beaten to death.

Suddenly, the stick on his body stopped, and he vaguely heard the owner of the restaurant saying respectfully and flatteringly: "Miss Lu, if you don't want to see this scene, let's move the people inside...Hey, Miss Lu, this thing is so bloody." Very, you’d better stop reading.”

The shopkeeper failed to stop Lu Yunjin. Lu Yunjin walked up to him and was silent for a moment when he saw his face clearly.

Then she said: "I need a few guards. This guy is very resistant to beatings at first glance. I want them."

……

Lu Yunjin bought a house and Jiang Liuliu came in and had the sweetest sleep in years on the solid bed.

There is no rotten bed that creaks when you turn over, no doors and windows that rattle when the wind blows, and no deafening snoring from Zhao Yuan.

It's so comfortable.

After two days of eating, sleeping and sleeping peacefully in this house, Jiang Liu looked at the watertight roof and thought to himself, if he could live like this every day, what kind of merit would he get?
Two days later, Lu Yunjin came.

He lay face-in under the quilt and pretended to be dead. Lu Yunjin snorted coldly: "I taught you a lesson that day. What happened now? You have been repaid and become mute? In this case, I will send you back to Chunfeng Tower..."

That won't work, the shopkeeper of Chunfeng Tower will beat him to death!

Jiang Liu quickly lifted the quilt and sat up, lowered his head, and scratched his head.

"I misunderstood that day. I thought you were trying to cheat money. I didn't know you were Miss Lu..."

Lu Yunjin asked him with a cold face: "Fortunately I am not pregnant, otherwise I would have asked you to marry me."

Jiang Liu: "???"

She is Lu Yunjin, the daughter of the editor of the Hanlin Academy. Anyone who doesn't want to marry her is a fool.

But just touching it like that is still a thousand miles away from being pregnant.

"I was the one who offended that day. I will make amends to the girl." Jiang Liu bowed deeply and then said, "Don't worry, girl, her innocence is still there. Besides, the parents should make the final decision on the marriage..."

There are countless toads who want to eat swan meat. He is self-aware. With Lu Yunjin's background and beauty, it is possible for him to become a queen in the palace.

If the current emperor had not been particularly fond of Concubine Chen, how could this most beautiful woman in Jinling not be included in the harem?
Unexpectedly, the words "parents make the decision" aroused Lu Yunjin's disgust.

"Pedant, my life is up to me, why should it be up to my parents?"

This shocking and rebellious sentence made Jiang Liu suddenly raise his head and look into her breathtaking eyes.

Lu Yunjin said: "My eldest sister obeyed the order of her parents and married the minister of Zhongshu. Less than a year after the wedding, she has been a widow every day. Her husband often does not come back to his home. Even when he does, he hangs out among the beds of various concubines. , calling her the real wife is a joke. I don’t want to obey my parents’ orders!”

Jiang Liu declined to comment.

There are many such things in this noble family.The world only regards it as ordinary.

He just said: "The girl's beauty will captivate the whole country. No matter who she marries, she will never be treated coldly."

Lu Yunjin looked at him and said, "That's not necessarily true. Aren't you indifferent to my appearance?"

Jiang Liu explained: "It's not that we are indifferent, it's just..."

But at first I thought she was a female ghost, so I was naturally afraid.Then he only focused on the money bag. Without the money, he would starve to death.

At that moment, who could have the leisure to be dazzled by her beauty?
He couldn't explain why, but Lu Yunjin admired him.

"Good, you got my attention."

... Lu Yunjin took revenge on Jiang Liu for not wanting to borrow even a drop of money, so he threw a bag of silver at Jiang Liu, humiliating him severely.

"Poor guy, you've never seen so much money in your life, have you? Taking a handful of copper coins as your life, you really have never seen the world. Let me tell you, that little money is nothing to me!"

"Reward you!"

She thought Jiang Liu's stunned expression meant that his self-esteem was severely hurt.

After all, if others throw money at her, she will only become angry.

Unexpectedly, behind her, Jiang Liu held up the heavy money bag as if it were a treasure. This money bag was made of pearlescent cloth with exquisite embroidery.

And the figure of her turning back was engraved in Jiang Liu's heart, truly like a fairy descending to earth.

Is this really for him?

Damn it, don’t bend down for five buckets of rice. Since he was almost beaten to death for asking for monthly money, he feels more and more that if he bends his waist, he can get five buckets of rice. He can break his waist!
Jiang Liu took the money, went out to buy some clothes, some food and wine, and returned to the dilapidated house where he lived before.

"Brother, I'm back!"

Zhao Yuan and Zhou Chengshi were shaking their heads while reading. Seeing him coming with wine and food, Zhou Chengshi stretched his neck to see what kind of food and wine he had.

Zhao Yuanyi patted him on the shoulder, "Brother, where did this time go? We thought..."

The day before he went to the restaurant to collect debts, Jiang Liu told them that he was going to do something very dangerous, but they refused to elaborate when they asked him.

He went out early the next day and never came back. This made Zhao Yuan and Zhou Chengshi unable to sleep peacefully for more than half a month.

After all, after living together for so long, there is always affection.

Zhou Chengshi took a closer look at the new clothes on his body.

"You've made a fortune!"

Zhao Yuan also noticed his change and speculated: "You won't do anything harmful to the world, right?"

Jiang Liu didn't answer. He spread the food and wine he bought on the stone table in the courtyard. After they ate the delicious roast chicken and drank wine, he gave each of them a piece of broken silver.

After all, we had gone through hardships together, and he wanted to share some of the sweetness with his brothers.

Zhou Chengshi pushed the broken silver back to him: "I don't want the ill-gotten gains."

Zhao Yuan held the broken silver in his hand and rubbed it. He was reluctant to part with it, but he reached out and put the broken silver together with Zhou Chengshi's.

"Chengshi is right, we don't want the ill-gotten gains."

They are willing to accept food from outsiders, but cannot accept ill-gotten gains. This is the bottom line for them to call themselves scholars.

Jiang Liu reluctantly confessed: "Just take it, this is not ill-gotten wealth, this money was given to me by Lu Yunjin."

Zhao Yuan looked at him in shock.

"Is there no threshold for Lu Mansion to recruit people? Can you even serve Lu Yunjin?"

Jiang Liu said: "No, Lu Yunjin thinks highly of me and raises me in another courtyard to provide me with food and clothing. She doesn't want me to serve him."

To be honest, Lu Yunjin saw how badly he was beaten and felt pity for him. However, he also had a revenge mentality for having suffered a loss that night. Lu Yunjin didn't know how to relieve his anger, so he kept him in the house and prepared to wait. He recovered from his injuries before taking revenge.

It just tasted different coming out of his mouth.

Zhao Yuan chuckled and said, "Let's have your spring and autumn dream, and Lu Yunjin will support you? I am the King of Heaven, so I can fulfill your dream!"

Jiang Liu said seriously: "It's true."

Zhou Chengshi looked at him with hatred: "If you don't want to tell us where you made your fortune, we won't force you, but you really don't have to make it up. Honesty is the way of heaven, and sincerity is the way of man. also……"
