Red apricots make spring

Chapter 68 Arrival in Kyoto
Two days later, the mule cart staggered on the road again. At this moment, there was only one day's journey left from the capital, and the young man had recuperated for a few days, had a bath, and changed into clean clothes. He looked very energetic, but his face remained the same. A little pale, more thin.

On the way, in order to pass the boring time, everyone would inevitably gossip, but he was the only one who remained silent, almost never opening his mouth, only perfunctory words unless asked by others, and most of the time he bowed his head and listened.

"Uncle, you were robbed that day, why didn't you leave us and drive back by yourself?" Rourou sat beside the curtain of the car, and chatted with the driver with a smile, "Aren't you afraid that you won't be paid for the car then?"

"Hey, look at what you said, can I do such an unintentional thing?" The coachman is a man of duty, he laughed and said: "There is nothing I can do when I encounter such a natural and man-made disaster. Sending you to Taihe City, but our Dazhao has always been stable, I have been driving for many years, and I have never encountered such a thing a few times, when this person is unlucky, he really drinks cold water!"

Gentle nodded. To be honest, she didn't expect to encounter this kind of thing at first. Even if she heard the news of the flood in the inn, she didn't take it too seriously. It seems that if she goes out in the future, she should be more cautious. This time I only lost a little money, and I was fine, so it was finally a blessing in misfortune.

Thinking of this, she couldn't help but look up at the young man, and said with a smile: "Speaking of which, that day was really thanks to Ye Yu, or I don't know how it ended!"

Ye Yu lowered his head and said calmly: "It's nothing, those people are too hateful."

"When you come back to Kyoto, do you have a place to stay?" Wen Gang had an inexplicable affection for him for some reason, and at this moment he was a little worried about his future livelihood.

Ye Yu shook his head, as if remembering something sad, his brows furrowed again.

"Ah! Then you can live in our house." Wen Gang is straight-hearted, he blurts out what he thinks of, and when he didn't see the words, Mother Wen gave him a hard look.

Xiaohuan already lives in the family, but fortunately she is a girl, so there is no big inconvenience, if this half-grown kid is left behind, how decent is it?But she couldn't make up her mind about this matter, and she had to listen to her daughter. Mother Wen was worried, and looked at Wen Rou again.

There is no good way to be gentle, she was hesitating, but she saw Ye Yu suddenly knelt down on one knee and said: "My family is gone, this life was saved by the girl, please take me in, no matter what I do Can do it all."

"This——" Wen Rou was startled, and quickly helped him up: "If you have anything to do, you can talk about it when you get up."

Ye Yu shook his head and said, "I don't have much education, but I still know that the kindness of a drop of water should be repaid by a spring. From now on, I will be a cow and a horse for a girl, and I will never complain!"

"Have you ever studied?" There are really not many people who can read these days. When I first met Ye Yu, he also looked like a beggar. Although he looked good after cleaning, he was still a bit surprised by his gentleness.

"Know a few words." Ye Yu replied with his head bowed.

"Get up!" Wen Gang also went to help him and said, "Although we saved you, you also saved us, so don't say such nonsense."

Ye Yu finally got up and sat back in his original seat. After thinking for a while, he shook his head and said, "You guys buried Dad for me. I have to repay this kindness!"

"That's just a little effort, you don't need to take it to heart." The gentle temper is soft and not hard, and she is really panicked when encountering this matter, not knowing what to do.It is not impossible to take Ye Yu in. After all, Wen Gang is too young, and he will be sent to study in the future. Someone will always need someone to do the heavy work at home. Although Ye Yu looks only fourteen or fifteen years old, his personality is stronger than Wen Gang's. With more perseverance, she must be able to share some of the hard work for her, but she didn't want Ye Yu to decide to follow them just to repay their kindness, because she thought she hadn't done anything worthy of others' repayment.

I didn't expect Ye Yu to speak straight, he said lightly: "This matter is a piece of cake for you, but it is a great kindness for me! I have nothing to do. If even my father died, I couldn't let him go to the ground to make a living. Ann, you will be a son of man in vain!"

"Okay!" Rourou finally let go: "You can follow us for the time being, but don't mention the matter of repaying your kindness, count me as a young man who hired you, and then I will pay you every month."

"You don't need to give me room and board." Ye Yu insisted.

Ruan Rou has never seen such a stubborn guy, and she really can't laugh or cry, but seeing this topic continues, she will reach a deadlock, so she has to agree for the time being, and we can talk about it in the future depending on the situation.

At noon the next day, the mule cart finally drove into Taihe City, the capital of Dazhao. When Wenrou got off the cart, she was surprised to see the lively scene of people coming and going on the street.

Is this an ancient city?Compared with modern times, it is not inferior!All the main roads are paved with smooth polished bluestone slabs, wide enough to accommodate eight carriages abreast.There are row upon row of houses on both sides of the street, not only the same height, but also the same style. All of them are shops of various colors, with big gold-lettered signboards hanging on them. Full of energy, with a loud voice and a warm smile on his face.

"Uncle..." Rourou asked hesitantly, "Is it not allowed to set up stalls in Taihe City?" Although she wanted to open a shop here at the beginning, all the money was robbed and the bank notes were torn. I can't afford to rent a shop at all, so the most practical plan right now is to set up a small stall that doesn't require much capital.

"Ah, yes!" The coachman thought for a while and said, "This is the East Market, no stalls are allowed, and the stalls are all concentrated in the West Market! There are many food items at a cheap price, and the night market is even more lively .Why, Miss, want to go and have a look?"

"En!" Rou Rou nodded, took out two taels of silver and handed it to the coachman, "Uncle, this is our car money."

The coachman looked at it, waved his hands and said in a panic: "It's too much! It's too much! It was agreed to pay a tael of silver at the beginning!"

"It has delayed you for two more days on this journey, and you are tired and you are worried that you will be robbed of the money. You must accept this money." Rourou stuffed the money into the driver's hand, said goodbye to him, and prepared to take it with her. The family is leaving, the immediate priority is to find a place to rent, otherwise it will be too expensive and inconvenient to stay in a hotel.

"Hey, girl!" The coachman shouted behind her: "I have been driving the car for many years, and this city of Taihe often comes here once or twice. If you want to hire a car next time, you must go to the car Look around the market, maybe we can meet again!"

"Okay!" Rourou turned her head and smiled, waved to him and said, "See you, uncle!"
