Outsiders also have golden fingers

Chapter 135
Qingling calmed down and responded calmly.

People like to pretend to be dizzy, dazzled, and weak-legged. They purposely bump into the young masters and jump into their arms, begging for pity, adoption, and marriage.

But she can only be a crazy little girl, bumping into the little book boy like a little fool for a bite to eat?

Just for a secondary star who somehow doesn't know the past and the future?
Sure enough, the book boy backed up a few steps after being hit, and couldn't hold back and sat on the ground with a plop.

Even in his dreams, he would never have imagined that a little girl would have such great strength and weight.

The book basket fell to the ground with a bang, the books, inkstones and ink sticks were scattered all over the floor, and the inkstone and ink sticks were broken!
Hula, soon some people came up to watch, Qingling shrank back, and the commotion became a bit loud!

Although her own family can't suffer, she still has to beware of the little book boy suddenly violently beating someone.

Unexpectedly, in the next second, the little book boy looked at the things scattered on the ground, and suddenly slapped the ground vigorously while crying loudly:
"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh! I can't live through this day! Everyone bullies me and my son!
We are all desperate to make a living in the countryside and temples, and even the guy we eat is ruined!
Son!It seems that God will not give us a way out!It's better to forget it, don't fight with your life!
Why don't you just sell me for money, and then go back to your hometown to marry that ugly and fierce woman!

If the future is ruined, it will be ruined, and it is better than freezing to death and starving to death."

Qing Ling was stunned for a moment, bit her lips to hold back a smile, she was afraid that the little book boy would die of anger when she saw her smile.

Passers-by also said in one voice:
"What kind of scholar is this, who can be called a son, how can he be reduced to this level? Wearing such thin clothes in the cold weather?"

"Yeah, yeah, I have to sell the book boy to return home, and I have to marry an ugly and fierce woman!"

"Yeah, yeah, why is it worse than me! Whoever smashed someone else's things, why don't you hurry up and pay for it!"

Shi Yun has already squeezed over: "Master, it's you, what's wrong?"

It's a pity that the voice was too gentle and was completely drowned out by the noise.

Seeing that things were getting serious, Qingling hurriedly squeezed to the front with her small stature, with a look of guilt and fear:

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry! I accidentally knocked down this little brother, I pay! I pay! I pay!

My aunt and brother are in the carriage over there, why don't we go over and talk!Don't worry, you won't miss a penny! "

The passers-by watching suddenly lost interest and dispersed immediately.

The little girl saw that her family was relatively good, and she was accompanied by a carriage, and she offered to pay compensation. The two sides couldn't fight anymore, so what else is there to see?

Shiyun stepped forward to protect Qingling behind, and said in surprise and shame:

"Master Cheng! Brother Cheng, it's you!

I'm sorry, Miss accidentally knocked you down, she didn't mean it, you get up first, let's talk over there! "

After finishing speaking, he signaled Qingling to go over there first, pulled the bookboy up by himself, and began to tidy up the things on the ground, while chanting:

"Mr. Cheng, Brother Cheng, why are you here? Have you encountered any difficulties?
You helped me before, and I always remember it in my heart, but it's a pity that I didn't ask you where you lived at the time, but luckily I met you today."

It turned out that the master and servant were surnamed Cheng.

Shiyun was so different back then and now, Mr. Cheng didn't recognize her, and when he found out, he felt that her life was not bad, and he was very ashamed when he thought of his downcast appearance.

At this time, Xiaojun also came over: "Young master, please go over there and talk, the compensation that should be paid will definitely not be less."

Together, everyone knew about Mr. Cheng's benevolent deeds and his relationship with Shiyun at that time, and at Wuyou's suggestion, they went to a teahouse to talk.

Qingling took the initiative to fall behind a few steps, Shiyun said in a low voice:
"Miss, Mr. Cheng helped me before and spent a total of three taels of silver. Later, I wanted to return it to them, but I didn't know where to find it.

Now that they are down and out, the money has to be paid back no matter what, and I want to give some interest, but I'm afraid they won't want it.

It's too late to go back and get it. I still have three taels of silver and some copper coins in my purse, which I brought to buy snacks for the lady. Can you lend me some money first? "

If it wasn't for helping him, Mr. Cheng still had at least three taels of silver with him, so he could last for a while.

There is no need to block the cotton-padded clothes and still be hungry, and suffer this kind of crime in winter.

Qing Ling nodded: "Of course it's no problem, and you should return it to them. Don't rush to give it for a while, and listen to what they have to say."

She must be concerned about the future Master Fu Xing, rather than wanting to hear gossip.

When they arrived at the teahouse, Qingling not only ordered hot tea, but also signaled Shiyun to ask for some refreshments.

The master and servant looked so desolate, maybe their stomachs were empty, and it was indeed a pain in such a cold day.

After drinking hot tea and snacks, and there was also a charcoal basin in the teahouse, the faces of the two recovered a bit.

The son's name is Cheng Jinlu, 14 years old, and his hometown is in a county in Dezhou, far away from the capital.

The book boy's name is Cheng Tianyuan, also known as Brother Yuan, and he is 13 years old.

Cheng Jinlu was originally a student at Chang'an No. [-] Boys' College, but because he refused to follow his stepmother's arrangement to go back to his hometown to get married last winter, his family cut off all his expenses.

After the school started this year, I couldn't afford the tuition fees, so I had to find a reason to drop out of school, and I didn't want to go back to my hometown to be manipulated by my stepmother. The two have been struggling to make a living in the capital.

Fortunately, this year's rent was paid last year, just in time for the winter vacation, otherwise I would have been living on the streets.

Later, he wrote a letter asking for his mother's dowry, and was threatened to sue him for being unfilial, so he had no choice but to give up.

The last time I was able to rescue Shiyun, it was because I still had a little capital, and I could earn a little money by copying books in warm weather.

After this period of consumption, there is nothing left.

In addition, the weather was too cold to burn a charcoal basin, and I didn't have cotton clothes to wear, so my hands were shaking from the cold, so I couldn't do it if I wanted to copy books for some hard-earned money.

Brother Yuan wanted to find a job, but because he was too young and no one wanted him, he had no choice but to help someone empty the toilet, but the landlord thought it was dirty and smelly and wouldn't let him in, so he had to give up.

Later, except for the most basic daily necessities, everything else was pawned, and there was no money to redeem even the cotton robes.

Moreover, the rent was due, and the landlord required at least one year's rent before renewing the lease, so they had to pack up and leave.

Cheng Jinlu is a boy student. He was supposed to take the examination of scholar this year, but he was delayed since he couldn't return home.

He originally wanted to find a job as a private teacher, even if it didn't cost wages, as long as he and Brother Yuan could take care of food and lodging.

But people thought that he was too young and had no fame, and he was not a student of several colleges, so they rejected him one after another.

The two ate a pancake each at noon yesterday, and have not eaten so far. They officially left the rented house this morning.

I was so desperate that I couldn't even afford to live in the Datong shop of the carriage and horse shop. Even if I wanted to go back to my hometown, I had to beg all the way back.

Really cornered.
