Lucky not to forget

Chapter 23
Uncle Zhen averted his eyes, gritted his teeth and said, "Has Mr. Ji been here these days?"

Wuwang knew that he was asking about the regulations, so he said, "I came here once, I went to the grain and oil store to sign the contract, and I said I would thank you, the young master is our great nobleman, and he has helped us so much."

Pei Zhen's face was as heavy as water, and he said in a muffled voice, "Why do you thank me for helping him? You and him have become 'us'!"

Don Wang was choked up by his ridicule. Seeing his unfriendly expression, he lowered his head and stopped talking. Pei Zhen got angrier and said with his hands down, "I don't want you to thank me. You know my intentions. Why bother to care about me like this?" From left to right, he seems hypocritical."

This man is really unreasonable, he wants to ask a teacher for his crimes as soon as he comes!Wu Wang pulled his face and said, "I don't know what you mean, and I don't dare to know. If the young master sees that we are attracted to each other, then he will move around more. If you are bored and bored, then it's fine if you don't come!"

Uncle Zhen has never been so angry, but he couldn't slam the table and throw the chairs, so his face turned blue, and he said anxiously, "I'm tired of it, I'm just complaining for my passion. Look at the regulations. Is it better than me? Where is the good thing, but teach me to know, so I can be more diligent."

Wu Wang took a step back and blessed Fudao, "Young Master Pei, Jun Jun will not dare to accept these words. You are blessed, how can you condescend to be compared with us. As for Brother Zhang, I have lived with him in the same village for the past few years. Here, we are familiar with each other, like brothers and sisters, if we talk about marriage, it depends on good fortune, if there is, there will be, if there is no, then there will be, and I will not force it, the young master is a person who has experienced it, so he should have enlightened it."

Pei Zhen saw that she didn't keep any sympathy in what she said, and she felt sad in her heart, and said in a daze, "Do you still have thorns in your heart? I know you have a very strong temper. I only hate that I met too late. If I met you sooner For a few years, without Su Qing, it is not like this now."

Wuwang sighed and said, "This is helpless. If you want to marry a concubine, just look for it outside. Why bother with me? I am cold-hearted. I don't have to refute Master Zhen's face. That's mine. guilt."

Pei Zhen leaned against the wall dejectedly, and murmured, "As long as there are other ways, I won't bother you, I'm weak, I just take a scoop to drink my ears..."

Don't expect pain in your heart, look at him like that, how can he still have the prestige of the past!Intercession hurts the most. With Mr. Pei's appearance like this, I can only comfort him with nice words, "Mr. Chun is a high climber, and it is good to recognize you as an elder brother. It is also a good thing to come and go frequently in the future."

Pei Zhen smiled wryly, "My sister is sitting outside. If you want to force me to death, just treat me as your elder brother and let me watch you marry and have children. My life is over."

Don't look panicked, and annoyed him that he was determined to the end, so he scolded in a low voice, "Your grandma is also a beautiful woman, why are you so lacking in heart? It really makes me look down on you!"

Now that Pei Zhen had no idea, she just said, "You don't know, she and I are not real husband and wife."

Wuwang only felt a bang in his head, and was stunned there in chaos.Since ancient times, there have only been fake relatives, and I have never heard of a fake couple. Maybe he coaxed her and resorted to tricks to bring her into the garden.Thinking about it this way, he didn't take this matter to heart, and said casually, "Fake couples are also couples, and if you talk about it well, why did such a thing happen?"

Pei Zhen looked dejected, and said slowly, "You will understand in a while, I can't tell you clearly now, just wait until I suffer, and if you are willing at that time, I will definitely marry you home." After speaking, he clenched his fists and walked away without looking back.

As soon as he left, it was hoped that he couldn't hold on any longer, so he took a few steps back and fell on the bench, in a trance.It's a good meeting, it's clear that everyone is clean, but it seems like an ungrateful act, and I don't know what he thinks of her in private, it must be blaming her for being unfeeling, there is no way if this is the case, don't rein in the precipice, Even she herself is about to fall into it.

After waiting for half a day, when I arrived at the shop, there was no one there, and my heart ached from chaos, so I buried my face in my elbows, leaned against the counter and dozed off, and gradually became a little dazed, thinking about Pei Zhen went through every word, every laugh, until his whole body was chilled by the thought, and his hands and feet were cold before he gave up.

After another half a day, I suddenly heard a rustling voice, looked up, and saw a ragged girl standing in front of the door, about eleven or twelve years old, with a bun, big eyes flashing, skinny, Wringing his hands helplessly, he trembled in fright when he saw her or looked at her.

Wu Wang got up and wrapped a dozen pancakes in paper and put them in her hand, and asked, "Where are your family members? Are you alone?"

The girl said in a hoarse voice, "There was a plague in my hometown, and everyone died. Now I am the only one left. I came here to join my relatives, but my relatives do not recognize me, and they will not even let me in."

Seeing that she was really pitiful, Wu Wang said, "Then you go in and drink some water, and be careful to get a fever under the scorching sun."

After hearing this, the girl stepped into the house, wearing a pair of straw sandals, which caused blisters on her feet, she went to Wu Wang without sitting down, and knelt down for her, kowtowed and cried, " The girl is a Bodhisattva, she doesn't think I'm dirty, she even told me to come into the house, I went to beg in another house, and I poured a basin of dishwashing water on people before I opened my mouth, only the girl treats me well. I beg the girl to have mercy on me and let me stay Serve the girl."

Don't hope to help her up quickly, why don't you say, "Our small family has no servants, but if you come every day, I'll give you two cakes, and I can't make up my mind about anything else."

The girl said again, "I don't want wages, as long as I have something to eat, I can do any kind of work, I beg the girl to take me in anyway, otherwise I will die on the street, rotten and smelly, and no one will care about me."

Don't look around, see how she thinks of her past like this, and dare not take such a big idea by herself, after all, her origin is unknown, if she is a fugitive servant or slave, it will hurt her family.

Seeing the hesitation on her face, the girl hurriedly hugged her leg and begged, "Good girl, I'm innocent. If you don't believe me, go to the government to investigate. I'm not an exiled prisoner or a thief with dirty hands and feet, sorry for that." I have a reason for begging the girl."

Wu Wang helped her up, helped her to the chair, and asked, "What are your difficulties, please tell me."

"Miss don't know," said the girl, "we beggars beg during the day and sleep in ruined temples outside the city at night, just because I am alone, those beggars bully me, and some hooligans even touch me The people next to me are like a joke, I really can’t live anymore, if I knew this, I might as well have gone with my parents and sisters, and I don’t have to leave this bad life to be ruined by others!”

Wu Wang thought to himself, is there anyone in this world who is more pitiful than her, she is loved by her uncle and aunt, but this girl is like a duckweed, living today without knowing what will happen tomorrow.So he wiped her tears with a handkerchief, and said softly, "I'll take my old clothes and change them for you. After you wash up, wait for my uncle and aunt to come back. If they agree, I will go to the yamen to become a citizen tomorrow. That's all for now, okay?"

The girl was so happy that she wanted to kowtow again, she asked her to stop her, and said with a smile, "You just stay, we will not be masters and servants but sisters, you don't need to kowtow frequently." Back yard for bathing.After washing, he changed into clean clothes, shoes and socks, and combed two buns. The little beggar was actually a complete child, and his hands and feet were also very nimble. Sweeping the floor and cleaning the tables and chairs, I am busy.

Wu Wang smiled and said, "Don't be too busy, just come and eat something. What's your name?"

The girl said, "I'm a six-year-old. My family calls me Liu'er, and I don't have any proper names. Please give me one."

Wu Wang said, "Since it was taken by parents, it's not good to change it. Let's call it Liu'er."

The two laughed and chatted for a while, Mrs. Zhang came back pushing the cart, and when she entered the door, she said, "Is there any guest?" Looking closely, she saw that the girl was wearing Sister Chun's old clothes, and said strangely, "Sister, what's the matter here?" Which girl is it?"

Wu Wang took the guy in her hand and told the reason why, Zhang said angrily, "The gang of Huazi are too wicked, they can't even eat, and there are frivolous girls, they are so strange that they are despised. Why don't you stay here, you can help with the family work, and you can be with Chunjieer. It's just a little older, if you are two or three years younger, you can match it with my brother Pei."

Wu Wang said, "My aunt thinks so far. Brother Pei is only nine years old, and I don't know when he will come back." After Liu'er greeted Mrs. Zhang, he took out Depei's family letter to show her, and Mrs. Zhang cried again. Laughing again, he spat out "monkey boy", Liu'er twisted the veil to clean her face, and went to the back kitchen to light a fire and cook.

Mrs. Zhang just looked at it, put it away like a treasure, and said that he would show it to Liu Hong when he came back, and told him to like it, and asked, "But did Mr. Pei send it? Did he say anything to you?"

Don't want to think about it, there will be another burst of sadness. It's not good for Mrs. Zhang to see the difference, so she forced a smile and said, "It's nothing, just talking about homework, Danyu from the Qi family has also come, and I will go after sitting for a while."

Mrs. Zhang nodded, excitedly poured all the copper coins in the money bag on the table, counted them one by one, tied them up with hemp rope, and said with a smile, "Business is good today. I sold fifty bowls of wontons. Mr. Pei, the rascals on the street know that I belong to Li Xuezhai, so they bypass my stall for extorting money, which saves a lot, otherwise it would not be enough to give them all."

Wuwang said helplessly, "Even if the money is paid back to him, the love will not be over."

Mrs. Zhang didn't notice, and responded, "No! It's just that now I've heard some rumors about you and him... Well, I'm afraid it will be difficult to talk about others in the future."

Wuwang doesn't care about these things, he only looks forward to the regulations in his heart.

Mrs. Zhang asked, "Did Brother Cheng come here today?"

Wu Wang shook his head and said, "I never came."

Mrs. Zhang frowned and said, "I set up a stall outside the city, and I saw him enter the city for several days, but I didn't come once? I'm afraid he heard the rumor and felt uncomfortable."

Wu Wang also sighed, he couldn't explain anything if he didn't come, maybe he was busy recently and didn't have time to see her for a while.

Mrs. Zhang snorted and said, "I think you should have made a plan earlier. He is different now. He is the son of everyone. How can people like us value him? After all, we need to find someone who is of the right family, so we can call him a waist Be tougher, just wait and see, you must tell me the truth."

"Sure enough, this is also predestined. I have no matchmaker and no employment with him. If he wants to marry someone else, I can't help it. I can only live my own life." Wu Wang smiled, without any anxiety on his face.

Mrs. Zhang shook her head and said, "My children and grandchildren have their own blessings, and I don't worry about that much." He patted the dust on his body and went to the inner room to make a face.
