-In the seventeenth year of Jinde, the king's capital, Xiangcheng, was announced-
It was the twelfth lunar month of winter, and the city was covered with heavy snow. Under the side eaves of someone's house, a beggar was leaning against the wall and sitting on the ground. Passersby are in a hurry, and no one wants to stop outside in the snow. Even if they see it, they will probably ignore it.
Young Master Pian Pian passed by here holding a paper umbrella, and when he saw the fox fur on his shoulders, he knew that he was of noble birth. At the foot of the emperor, in the capital, must be the son of a certain noble family. He passed by the place where the beggar was, and he took a second glance.
He stopped, thought for a moment, sighed, and then took another step to leave.
I don't know how many beggars like this he has seen on weekdays, and he has never cared about them. But such a heavy snow, I am afraid that it will freeze to death on this street. As he was thinking, the fox fur on his shoulders seemed to be grabbed by someone behind him and fell. He had already taken a few steps, and the moment the fox fur left, he shuddered: "Oh! It's really cold!" He couldn't help but complain. Looking back, the fox fur fell on the ground, and the beggar moved, so he just stared at him, his messy hair covering half of his face. He was about to bend over to pick up the fox fur, but saw that the beggar grabbed the fox fur very quickly and put it on him.
… never mind.
It's like showing mercy to save someone's life. Besides, the beggars are wearing them, and it is really impossible for him to ask for them to wear them on himself. He thought, shook his head and planned to leave.
As a result, the beggar somehow grabbed the corner of his clothes.
"What are you going to do?"
The beggar looked up, but he was stunned - the beggar raised his dirty face and laughed at him, his lips were frozen blue, this smile seemed a bit scary.
"Old... Brother..." After only two words, the beggar seemed to have used up all his strength, but he was still smiling, "Give me something to eat..."
He didn't care about it at all, he stretched out his hand and tugged at his clothes, wanting to leave, but the beggar was very strong, and he was holding on tightly, with a posture that would not let him go. He had no choice but to bend down slightly, break the beggar's hand abruptly, and walk away.
This time the beggar didn't grab the corner of his clothes... I saw that the beggar actually got up and followed behind him tremblingly. The fox fur was still on his body, and it really didn't match the ragged clothes on his body.
The beggar followed all the way, but he never looked back. But he couldn't help but pay attention to a beggar who followed him all the way from the north of the city to the south of the city.
This beggar is really... inexplicable.
Seeing that he was about to arrive at his residence, he couldn't bear it any longer. He frowned and turned around suddenly to look at the beggar. The beggar was frightened by his sudden action, and stood there with a look of panic. The beggar's clothes had a big hole in his knee, revealing the frozen red knee inside, looking pitiful. But as soon as he came to his senses, he smiled at himself again, very stupid.
"What are you going to do?"
"Brother, here, give me something to eat..."
"The fox furs are all given to you, tell the truth, don't be too greedy!" He said angrily at the beggar, then turned around and continued walking. Out of the corner of his eye, he saw the beggar still following him with his head down.
It's so annoying. He thought to himself, took out two pieces of silver from his belt, turned around and stuffed it into his hand again: "Take it, get out."
This time, the beggar should leave.
By the way, who will bring food with them on this snowy day
The beggar immediately stuffed the money into his pocket and continued to smirk at him: "I want to order, I want to eat."
"Then give me the money back."
"No... let's give you something to eat..."
"Get out now."
Not wanting to spend more time with this beggar, he immediately quickened his pace.
The beggar actually followed, saying, "Slow, slow... Leng, I can't keep up."
In this way, the beggar followed him to his mansion.
There were four servants standing at the gate of Jiang Mansion. When they saw him, they immediately opened the door and saluted him: "Eldest Young Master." He nodded slightly and entered the door. The beggar behind him wanted to follow him into the door, but was immediately stopped by the servants.
"Go, go, don't look at this place." Jiading said impatiently.
"I, I was with him..."
"Bupi, that's my young master, hurry up!" Jiading stretched out his hand and pushed him, probably because he had been frozen for too long and had no strength, he fell down. Jiading took a closer look and said, "This is my young master's fox fur, I have given you all the fox fur, and you still want to enter Jiangfu, don't go too far!"
The beggar fell to the ground, stunned for a while, and then burst into tears with lightning speed.
"It's a long life! Young master Jiang is bullying the beggar! My legs are broken! Doctor, where is there a doctor!" The beggar cried and howled, and his speech kept on and off, not fluently.
He felt a mass of anger burning in his chest. I saw him walking to the beggar with a single stride, grabbed his tattered collar, and said in a low voice, "You'd better take it as soon as you see it, don't take an inch... You are still wearing my fox fur, do you think Well, I hit you, or you stole!"
The beggar instantly closed his voice and laughed at him rogue. The two were so close together that he could completely see the beggar's face. Although his face was covered in dirt, he still couldn't hide the heroic spirit between his brows. It's a pity that such a skin looks like a beggar.
"But you won't."
"Why?"
"I am a beggar, and you are your noble son."
"I think you are just touching porcelain and begging for a beating!"
"Then I'll call." The dead look made him really angry, and he even laughed. "You give me something to eat, and I'll leave after eating."
He let go of his hand, and the beggar fell to the ground again, then beckoned helplessly, and motioned for the servant to come over: "Take him to the woodshed and give him something to eat."
"Yes."
After speaking, he ignored the beggar behind him and entered the mansion.
"Good people live in peace!"
Jiangfu is also a big family in the capital of Xiangcheng. It is said that Mr. Jiang started his career as a jeweler and became the family he is today. The Jiang family had two sons, the eldest son was named Ye, and the second son was named Mian.
Jiang has always had a bad temper, and he has no kindness. Today, he is even more disturbed by this little beggar. That fox fur was just acquired, and he liked it very much. It was really annoying to be occupied by annoying beggars. He wondered if he was looking for the beggar to come back, but the level of brazenness of the beggar was really staggering, and he would not agree to exchange for another coat. Besides, the clothes worn by beggars, even if they were washed, always gave Jiang a dirty feeling.
I can't think of a result, I hope the beggar can talk and leave after eating.
He never wanted to see this beggar again.
the next day.
Jiang Yechen got up and changed his clothes and was about to go to the lobby for breakfast. As soon as he stepped out of the room, he saw a man in a family uniform sweeping the floor in the yard in front of his room. If it was normal, Jiang wouldn't even know how to read it, but since the morning today, he had a little ominous premonition, like a ghost or a ghost, he looked at the servant one more time, and said, "Look up and I'll take a look. "
The man immediately raised his head with a flattering smile: "Morning, young master!"
Although his face was clean and his hair was well tucked back, he still recognized it at a glance—isn't this the annoying beggar who got a thousand knives? !
"you… !"
"I'm a new servant yesterday, my name is Wei Lin, the unicorn's Lin!"
"I didn't ask what your name was, and you got out of my way."
"Wow, so ruthless?" Wei Lin looked at Jiang Ye with a broom, Jiang Ye felt uncomfortable when he looked at him with his straight eyes, but Wei Lin didn't even know it, or he was stubborn.
"Who allowed you to stay?!"
"It's your mother."
"You still dare to curse?!"
"It's your mother, Mrs. Jiang."
"… "
Jiang also only felt that it must be bad luck to meet such a beggar, and he was so angry that his heart, liver, spleen, stomach and kidney all ached. Thinking about it carefully, I shouldn't have seen this guy pitifully let him go into the house to eat something yesterday. I didn't expect this beggar to be like a dog skin plaster, and he couldn't get rid of it.
With a stomach full of anger, Jiang also couldn't eat early, but he couldn't break the rules, so he could only sit in the lobby and eat a few mouthfuls of porridge. Mr. Jiang sat in the main seat with a frowning frown. Mrs. Jiang didn't look very good. Jiang also thought about it and felt that there was something bad at home. I'm afraid it's a bit out of time to ask about the beggar.
His younger brother Jiang Min was still asleep at this time every day. Jiang Min was three years younger than him, only fifteen years old. He was smart but playful. Because he was the second son, Mr. Jiang was also very doting.
Jiang also looked at it and asked casually, "Dad, what's the matter?"
"Hey... The border is going to war again, and the imperial court wants to pay us big families." Mr. Jiang took a mouthful of porridge and then said, "Especially our Jiang family and several big families were appointed by the imperial court. , you can't escape."
"We are also citizens of the Xuan Kingdom, and the war is imminent, so it is also appropriate to donate money." Jiang also said.
"You said it lightly, did the money come from the strong wind?" Master Jiang said displeasedly, "The court seems to be conscripting soldiers, saying that the family is not the only child, and must join the army. Once the conscription is announced, how dare you not donate your salary. Ah, I can't wait to donate more and spend money to buy one without enlisting in the army."
Jiang Ye said calmly: "As a man, I think it's good to go to the battlefield to make contributions."
"War? That's a matter of pinning your head on your trousers belt, Ben'er is only fifteen years old!" Madam Jiang said.
"You can pull it down, Ben'er has the temperament to fight?" If you want to let Jiang Ben go to war, then Jiang is the first one who is not happy, and Jiang is definitely the best in the degree of family doting on Jiang Ben, "Then I'll go. already."
"Don't talk nonsense, you are the eldest son of our family. If you want to inherit the family business in the future, how can you go to death." Madam Jiang glared at Jiang Ye.
"I don't want to inherit the family business."
"Shut up and eat." When Master Jiang spoke, Jiang didn't dare to say more, and ate breakfast in a proper manner.
Jiang also didn't care about his family's business, and it wasn't a matter of one or two days. In fact, it is more accurate to say that it is not caring, it is more accurate to say that it is disgust. Thinking of it this way, enlisting in the army is also a good choice, at least without inheriting the family business.
After breakfast, Jiang didn't see any beggars either. He was full of thoughts about enlisting in the army. It was a good way to escape and inherit the family business.
He was pacing back and forth in the yard thinking about enlisting in the army, and when he became fascinated, someone's voice suddenly sounded in his ear: "What's the matter, eldest young master?"
"It's annoying." He replied smoothly.
"Wow, the troubles of the rich." He turned his head and saw that it was the beggar's servant.
"How long are you going to stay?" The anger burned instantly, "Can you be more interesting?"
"Your mother, oh no, Madam Jiang asked me to stay. It's freezing cold, so please accept me." Wei Lin shrugged and rubbed Jiang Ye's shoulder, looking charming expression, raised an eyebrow.
"I think you want to beg for a fight." Jiang also ducked back and scolded.
Wei Lin still looked like that hippie smile: "I don't beg for beating, I beg for food. Young master, if you have any troubles, let's make the villain happy."
"Speaking of your size, what do beggars know?"
"You know how to beg."
"I really want to hit you."
"Yao Shou... uh." Jiang Ye covered his mouth, preventing him from shouting.
"If you talk again, I'll throw it out for you immediately."
Wei Lin nodded as if pounding garlic, Jiang also felt a wetness in his palm, and was startled. Could it be that the beggar's saliva was instantly released in disgust.
Wei Lin was able to speak again, and suddenly became serious: "Is it a matter of imperial conscription?"
"You listen to the corner?"
"I just passed by, the simple kind."
"Do you know that you really need to fight?"
"I know." Wei Lin said confidently, but Jiang was speechless for a while. "Master, don't you want to join the army?"
"wrong."
"The young master wants to join the army."
"… "
"Then go in, what's there to worry about, tsk tsk, rich people are really busy."
"I changed my mind."
"Not enlisting?"
"No, I'll throw you out now." Jiang also grabbed Wei Lin's collar and walked out.
"Hey, hey... Young Master, I was wrong!"
Jiang also let go and asked, "Why did my mother leave you as a beggar? It's not too dirty."
"Beggars are good, beggars are capable and content." Wei Lin counted the advantages of beggars in a serious manner. "So young master is pitiful and poor, let the villain spend the winter."
While we were talking, it started to snow again.
This year's winter is really cold, people, it is inevitable that there will be a little bit of compassion for a moment and a half. Jiang also quietly glanced at Wei Lin's face. After washing it, he looked even more heroic. If he froze to death... tsk tsk, that would be really cool.
"If you make trouble in my ear again, I'll have someone carry it out for you."
"I know, I know." As soon as he heard that Jiang Ye was willing to take him in, Wei Lin's attitude changed as if he were flipping a book, and he became impatient.
Jiang also felt that he was completely fooled.
