The cold wind was blowing in waves, and the leaves on the trees were swept up all over the sky. (Good-looking marshmallows
Brother Xuan shuddered by the cold wind, and said to Pang Jinglun: "Teacher, don't hurry in such a cold day, let's find a place to live!"
Pang Jinglun smiled and said, "It's not too cold now. Let's find a place to settle down after it snows!"
Seeing Ge Xuan's disapproval, Pang Jinglun explained: "The road is slippery in the first month, and you can't make it. Then you will have to wait until February next year to start your journey. If you do this, you will arrive in Shu land in May and June." Brother Xuan hurried like this, afraid of the cold in winter and the heat in summer, and he would not be able to reach Shu in a year.
"Anyway, I'm not in a hurry, it doesn't matter when I get to Shu." It's a shame to drive on such a cold day.
Pang Jinglun said helplessly: "But we only have more than seventy taels of silver left on us. I'm afraid that this amount of silver won't last for that long." Because only one hundred taels of silver, Pang Jinglun suggested to live in Datong shop for the first time. Three people in Datongpu cost thirty or forty cents a night. But the room with poor light in the Datong shop was also very humid and could not take a bath. Brother Xuan couldn't survive and insisted on a first-class room. In the end, I ordered two first-class rooms and ordered a table of good dishes, which cost a total of fifty taels of silver. Although he would save flowers afterwards, Brother Xuan got used to his lavishness, resulting in only seventy taels of silver left now.
Brother Xuan said, "Don't worry about money. When I have a fixed place to live, I will write to Ayou and ask him to send me some money."
Pang Jinglun hesitated.
"Don't worry, Ayou will definitely send someone to send money when I get my letter." He still has this confidence.
Pang Jinglun looked at Asan and asked, "What do you say?" This time, the empress did not prepare the entanglement for the third prince. Pang Jinglun didn't think that after the four princes received the letter, they would send someone to send money.
Asan said, "I listen to the young master." Since I was out of the capital, no matter what Brother Xuan makes, Asan has always supported him.
Looking at Ah San suspiciously, seeing that he was still a silly look, Pang Jinglun had to say: "Okay! Then we will live in the next county." I don't know what the queen empress is selling in this gourd. medicine.
After another five days, the three of them arrived at a county called Shiyang. Seeing that Brother Xuan was going to stay at the inn again, Pang Jinglun hurriedly stopped. If they want to live in an inn, I'm afraid they will have to spend all their money before the first month.
Pang Jinglun said: "His Royal Highness, we don't have to stay for a day or two, but we have to stay for more than two months. If we live in an inn, even if we spend two months in an ordinary room, we will get three or forty taels of silver."
Brother Xuan was a little puzzled, and asked, "If you don't live in an inn, where do you live? Do you want to go to someone else's house again? But we live for so long, and the Chinese New Year will soon be over again. It's not good to go to someone else's house?" They can't find the inn every night when they go on their way, and sometimes they stay at the farmhouse.
"If you don't borrow an overnight stay, we will rent a room. After more than two months, it will only cost two or three taels." When going out, everything is simple.
After hearing this, Brother Xuan said hurriedly: "Teacher, we don't know how to cook. Rent a house, who cooks?" As long as you stay in the inn, you will get ready-made meals and hot water.
Pang Jinglun smiled and said: "You can ask a woman to cook, and one or two wages per month is enough."
In the end, Geer Xuan still obeyed Pang Jinglun's words, renting a house and then hiring someone to cook.
When waiting to rent a house, Brother Xuan did not want to rent a house. Three people live in a room, which is too crowded. Finally, the three rented a small yard. This yard is two and a half silver a month. The lease period is three months, and the rent is paid in one lump sum.
A small yard, just three houses, there is a wood room kitchen plus a cottage. However, the yard has all the furniture needed for daily use, and the kitchen utensils are readily available. Just buy things like quilts and rice noodles.
After reading the house, Brother Xuan said, "Two and a half months, not expensive." In the inn of the prefectural capital, it cost a tael for a night to go to the house.
Pang Jinglun almost vomited blood: "Ada, if you only rent a house, you only need two taels of silver for three months." Renting a house only cost nearly 80 taels of silver, and now he has less than 60 taels of silver left in his hand. Up.
"Teacher, I will return the money to you after Ayou has sent the silver." Not to mention the bonus given by Brother You, he only said that he also had several thousand taels of silver in his hand. It's just that he thought Yuxi would be ready to get involved, so he didn't take the money.
Pang Jinglun opened his mouth, but he saw Ah San standing next to Brother Xuan swallowing his words.
Once the house was rented, the three of them went to the market to buy quilts and towels and other necessary supplies. After that, all three of them bought a set of winter clothes. Finally, I went to buy rice noodles, vegetables, and oil and salt.
After returning home, Pang Jinglun said to Brother Xuan, "I only have twenty-eight taels of silver left in my hand, so I have to save some flowers."
Brother Xuan was a little surprised: "We actually spent thirty taels of silver today?"
"This money can't help but spend. So, I plan not to invite the chef, and we cook and eat by ourselves." Inviting a chef, in addition to paying wages, also includes three meals, which is too expensive.
Brother Xuan objected, but Pang Jinglun didn't listen to him this time, and he resolutely refused to invite the cook. The money is in Pang Jinglun's hands, so he naturally has the final say.
On the second day after settling down, Geer Xuan said to Pang Jinglun: "Teacher, let's go and see outside!" Since I'm here for wandering, I naturally need to understand the local folk customs. By the way, to find out what are the more famous attractions here, as long as it is not far away, I will check it out in two days.
Pang Jinglun didn't want to move at all at this meeting: "Go ahead, I'll stay at home to look after the house." After driving for more than a month, he was too tired, and he should take a good rest these days. He is also getting older. I think he used to travel abroad, and he had no money to take a car. He walked for more than two months. That foot is all bleeding.
After eating the gnocchi, Pang Jinglun went back to the house after sunbathing in the yard for a while. When I woke up, there were two more people in the family. The two of them were a middle-aged man who had lame a leg in his forties, and a little girl between 13 and 14 years old. The two in the cold weather were still wearing singles, and they stood shivering in the room.
Pang Jinglun pointed at the two with a black face and asked, "Ada, who are they?"
Brother Xuan said, "Teacher, their father and daughter are fainting on the road. I looked at poor and brought them back."
"Then what?"
Brother Xuan saw that Pang Jinglun was upset, and said, "Teacher, saving a life is better than building a seventh-level float. If we don't help them, they will freeze to death."
"We don't open a charity hall. They have no food and clothes, so they should go to the government." After a pause, Pang Jinglun looked at the father and daughter and said, "You go!" The taxes levied are not high, most of the corvee is also exempted, and there are no exorbitant taxes and miscellaneous taxes. As long as you are willing to do things, you will not starve to death.
The little girl knelt on the ground with a plop, crying and said, "Master, please don't drive us away. Master, my father and I don't eat free food. We can work, wash, cook, chop wood and cook on the kang. We can do all this. Lord, please stay with us!"
Pang Jinglun looked at the little girl crying like a pear flower with rain, and was unmoved: "You guys go, we have no money to hire someone."
Brother Xuan said: "Teacher, Ling'er's house fell down, her mother was smashed to death, and father's leg was smashed. The father and daughter are already desperate. Teacher, let's keep them. To drive them away, they will definitely not be able to survive in such a cold day."
Pang Jinglun looked at Ge'er Xuan expressionlessly and said, "They can go to Yaxing and ask them to do something for the introduction."
The lame man said with red eyes, "They said I was disabled and couldn't do a job, so I only wanted to accept Ling'er. Let Ling'er go to another house alone, so I don't worry." At this point, the man's tears came.
Pang Jinglun didn't feel sympathy when he heard such a miserable experience, and still wanted to drive away the father and daughter.
Brother Xuan couldn't believe what she saw: "Teacher, how can you be so cold-blooded?"
When Pang Jinglun heard this, he was so angry that he almost didn't mention it.
Ah San, who has always regarded himself as his background, said when he saw it, "Sir, just as the young master said, saving a life is better than building a seventh-level buddha. Sir, let them stay!"
Pang Jinglun glanced at Ah San, and saw that he was still that silly, and that strange feeling came to his mind again.
After a while, Pang Jinglun sighed and said, "Forget it, since you want to stay, let them stay!"
Linger was very happy, and kowtow to Pang Jinglun: "Thank you, master, thank you, master."
Pang Jinglun snorted coldly: "Didn't you say you can cook? I happen to be hungry. Go to the kitchen to cook!"
When the father and daughter entered the kitchen, Brother Xuan returned to his room. Pang Jinglun said to Asan, "Come with me."
After closing the door, Pang Jinglun lowered his voice and asked Asan: "These two obviously have problems, why are you leaving them?" He could not believe that Asan could not see what he could see.
Although Ah San hasn't shown anything out of the ordinary for more than a month. May be sent by the queen to protect the three princes, certainly not ordinary people.
Asan whispered: "Madam let the young master come out, just to let him know that the human heart is sinister and experience the suffering of the world." Walking along the way, although not as comfortable as in the palace, the third prince did not suffer much.
Hearing this, Pang Jinglun asked hurriedly: "Then, did you bring money? I am a big age, but I can't stand the cold and can't stand the hungry!" A small cold wind could solve the problem with a bowl of ginger soup before. Now it takes ten and a half days to get better.
Asan said: "Uncle Pang's transfer order has been issued, and the expatriate will be the county princes of the whole county in Yongzhou." Pang Jinglun's eldest son is a scholar, and he has not passed the Juren exam for more than ten years. Pang Jinglun found someone and got him a job in the Taichang clan. Now he is a Zhengli Lang of the Ninth Grade. And the county Cheng is from the seventh grade, and it is actually lacking.
Pang Jinglun understood immediately, and said, "I know how to do it." It seemed that this time I would suffer with the three princes. Cough, for the sake of my son, I can only grit my teeth and endure it.
