Xu Yanbang knew that his eldest brother was already engaged. He was going to get married at the end of last year, but he didn't know why. Brother, your marriage..."

Xu Yanhui's complexion changed, and he quickly returned to normal. He said lightly, "There were too many things last year, and my health was not good, so I postponed the wedding. It will be almost the end of this year."

At the end of last year, there was a sudden change in the situation. When the dynasty changed, the Xu family didn't have the heart to hold a happy event, but it made sense.

Xu Yanbang didn't ask any more questions, and just said softly: "Since the wedding date is set, elder brother should take it easy. Dad is right, we should find something serious to do."

The two brothers looked at each other, and they both saw understanding and sympathy in each other's eyes. They couldn't help being stunned and embarrassed, and went back to their rooms.

As the sun went down, it was time for all the Lifangs in Chang'an City to close their doors for a curfew.

Zhu Susu hurried home in her own carriage.

As soon as he entered his four-entry courtyard, Zhu Susu saw a half-naked tall man chopping firewood in a corner of the courtyard with a sharp ax in his hand.

Under the high courtyard wall, nearly a person's height of firewood has been piled up, and each piece of firewood is almost cut to the same length and thickness, and it is neatly stacked.

His bronzed skin, strong and muscular muscles, his long arms swinging a sharp axe, reflecting the setting sun, like the drips of sweat on his back, strongly attracted Zhu Susu's attention.

"Miss is back." The servants came to greet Zhu Susu one by one.

The man who was chopping firewood by the courtyard wall heard the sound and turned his head.Seeing that it was Zhu Susu who came back, she also came over to say hello to her, "Miss Zhu is back."

It was the beggar Zhu Susu rescued on the road a few days ago.

After eating and drinking, his strength seemed to have returned, his body was bulging, and his face was simple and sincere, like a simple farmer.

Of course, he is also a simple farmer.

After he woke up, Zhu Susu had figured out his background.

His name is Wu Shicheng.I am 20 years old this year, and I came from Tongguan. Both my parents have died, and my family members are gone. I originally planned to come to Chang'an to visit relatives.As a result, his relatives moved away long ago, and his money was exhausted.In the end, he was desperate and starved for a few days, and almost starved to death on Chang'an Avenue.Fortunately, Zhu Susu had a moment of kindness and rescued him.

After reading his ultimatum, Zhu Susu gave up completely.

She knew that the beggar she had picked up.Really a beggar.

Zhu Susu saw Wu Shicheng coming to greet him, and was about to say a few words.The servant woman on the side saw it.He hurriedly yelled: "Hurry up and put on your clothes! How decent is it to be naked in front of the eldest lady!"

Zhu Susu was taken aback.She didn't think there was anything wrong with it.It's just a topless man, she has seen a lot in her previous life.In the past, in her hometown, on hot days, the men in the neighborhood, no matter how old or young, wore a pair of big underpants.Holding jelly, sitting in the streets and alleys, forming a dragon gate array.

Besides, Wu Shicheng was still wearing a pair of gray cotton trousers...

Zhu Susu involuntarily glanced at Wu Shicheng's lower body.

Only then did Wu Shicheng feel that something was wrong.He rushed to the edge of the courtyard wall, picked up his robe and put it on his body, and said to Zhu Susu: "I offended you, thank you little ladies for saving your life."

Zhu Susu glanced at him, nodded, turned and went into the room.

Wu Shicheng walked a few steps, followed behind Zhu Susu, and said anxiously: "Young ladies, I will go to the market tomorrow to find a part-time job. I will leave when I pay off the money for the medicine."

Zhu Susu's footsteps paused, and then he stepped into the house as if nothing had happened, and said indifferently: "Whatever you want." Anyway, this man is young and strong, even if he goes out to be a servant, he will not die of starvation.It's not easy for Zhu Susu to earn money, she doesn't cheat on men, and she doesn't know how to support idlers...

A few days later, when Zhu Susu went home every day, she didn't see the back of the woodcutter in the corner, but felt a little uncomfortable, and couldn't help asking her housekeeper, "How is that little brother Wu?" Thinking about it, she felt uncomfortable , and said: "He said that he will be a part-time worker to pay back the money, but has he paid it back?"

The housekeeper shook his head, "Little Brother Wu went out a few days ago and never came back."

Zhu Susu rolled her eyes and yelled bad luck in her heart, she never thought that she not only saved a beggar, but also a liar.

Nonsence!

Zhu Susu was angry for a while, and said to the housekeeper: "Where is that liar looking for a job? Take me to find him!"

The housekeeper hurriedly said: "I heard that it is in Renshifang in Dongshi, do you want to go and have a look, miss?"

Holding her breath, Zhu Susu took the butler to stroll around the Renshifang in Dongshi, but she didn't see Wu Shicheng.

The butler found a familiar dentist and asked about Wu Shicheng's situation.

It is rare to see a tall and strong day laborer like Wu Shicheng in the market, so when the housekeeper said it, the agent of the dental shop got an impression, and said with a smile: "Oh, are you looking for the little brother named Wu? I have the impression , he only does part-time and part-time jobs, and refuses to sell himself. Nowadays, the supply of goods in the market is abundant, and rich and powerful families have to sell their bodies to work. Now fewer and fewer people hire part-time and part-time workers. There is still work to do for a few days, and there is no work these days, I saw him sitting in the corner yesterday, his eyes were starved from hunger, and I haven’t seen him until today, I don’t know where he went.”

While talking, a staff member of the tooth store pointed to a firewood pile around the corner, and said, "Here, that's him over there. He just came here. It looks like he was hungry all day yesterday."

Zhu Susu raised her eyes and saw that it was Wu Shicheng. The robe on her body was even more worn out. After a few days of absence, she had regained her sallow and emaciated appearance, almost exactly the same as when she first "picked up" him on the street.

Needless to say, this look must be hungry again.

Zhu Susu was so angry that he walked over, condescendingly scolded Wu Shicheng who was squatting in the corner: "Okay, you liar, didn't you say you want to pay back my consultation fee? Where is the money? Where is it? !"

Wu Shicheng raised his head weakly.Seeing that it was Zhu Susu, his eyes were happy at first, and then he felt his whole body relax, and unexpectedly his heart relaxed, and he fell down at Zhu Susu's feet.

"Ah? He seems to be sick. Zhu gents, please treat him. Saving a life is better than building a seven-level pagoda." The agents and staff of the tooth shop all competed to flatter Zhu Susu.They all know that although she is a girl, her medical skills are as good as those of the boys.Even in some places, it is much stronger than them.The only downside is that the fees are too high, too expensive, and most people can't afford her consultation fees, so they are happy to watch her jokes.Let's see if this well-known doctor who also fished out money from the frying pan will really die...

Zhu Susu was so angry that she was dying.

What's wrong?

Obviously hungry!

This man, who has hands and feet, can live his life like this.

Even if she had the ability, she didn't want to save him.Gu Yun saves the emergency but not the poor, and she is not his mother, so she has no obligation to support him for the rest of her life.

"Yes. I can save him, but. Did Broker Pan pay him for his visits? You are so kind, and you are like Zhou Papi in Renshifang. It is time for you to do some good deeds to make money from these bitter people. To accumulate blessings for your descendants." Zhu Susu is not a person who can suffer, and besides, she grew up in the market, and she quarreled with others.Never lag behind.

The broker of the dental firm was provoked, who is willing to pay?Hurry up and say hello.With the excuse of taking care of the business, he ran away with oil on his feet.

Zhu Susu snorted, walked a few steps, and finally ordered someone to carry Wu Shicheng back to her home.

A few days later, Wu Shicheng returned to the place that saved him again.

After waking up, Wu Shicheng felt ashamed, got off the bed with his head down, and was about to rush out the door.

Zhu Susu grabbed his arm at the door and said angrily, "Are you really planning to renege on your debt?"

Wu Shicheng struggled twice, but he didn't break free from Zhu Susu's hand, and he didn't dare to use too much force, so he had to turn his head to one side, and said in a low voice, "I'm useless, I can't earn money."

As he said that, Wu Shicheng gritted his teeth, took out a cloth bag wrapped in oilcloth from the meat on his chest, and handed it to Zhu Susu, "This is passed down from my father. It is useful. Someone wanted to exchange 1000 taels of silver for this item, but my father was reluctant. It was meant to be a family heirloom for our family and passed down from generation to generation. But it seems that our family will soon be unable to pass it on, so I will give it to you. Can you save my consultation fee, okay?"

Zhu Susu took the oilcloth bag unceremoniously, weighed it, and found that it looked like a book inside, and her face that was a little happy just now sank again, "Tricking me with a book? You can really figure it out ——Let me ask you, you have hands and feet, and you are in good health, why are you so lazy and unwilling to go out to work to earn money?"

Wu Shicheng blushed, and said, "I'm not lazy! I look for part-time and part-time jobs every day, but people in Chang'an City have to sign a contract of sale, and fewer and fewer people are willing to hire part-time and part-time jobs. I'll wait." For several days, I just waited for a job and earned a steamed bun..." After speaking, his stomach growled twice, and Wu Shicheng was so ashamed that he couldn't bear it.

Zhu Susu glared at him resentfully, but still ordered two plates of steamed buns, and sat aside to watch Wu Shicheng gobble them up.

"Slow down, you need me to save you when you are choking. My time is very precious and valuable. Saving you is a waste of my time, and I have no money to make, and I have to lose a meal. It's a big loss." Zhu Susu said very harshly.

Wu Shicheng couldn't help eating more slowly.

After he finished eating steamed buns and drinking water, Zhu Susu persuaded him: "Since short-term and odd jobs are hard to find, you should sign a contract of sale and work as a servant in a rich family. At least it will not be a problem to earn enough food and clothing. If you are lucky Alright, currying favor with your master, you might have a great future. ——The seventh-rank official in front of the prime minister’s door is not just talking about it for nothing.”

Unexpectedly, Wu Shicheng shook his head and said honestly: "No. My family has been good people for generations, and our ancestors have taught us that men should not be slaves, and women should not be slaves. I would rather starve to death than become a lowly citizen."
