Chapter 10 The world is tough

Finally, she turned back and looked at Siqin Mi's embroidery. She was a quiet beauty, peaceful and beautiful. A peony flower shape had appeared on the white silk. Si Qin Mi looked at the flowers with satisfaction and put down the frame.

"Lang Jun, I went shopping." I was in a hurry to buy medicine and didn't prepare much food.

"Let me go together and introduce you to the neighbors. The name Si Qinmi cannot be used for the time being. Think of another name." Zhuang Xun struggled to get up and get dressed.

"That's fine, the name is right and the words are right." Seeing that Zhuang Xun really didn't trust him, Si Qinmi touched his forehead and found that the temperature had dropped and he stopped coughing, so he left him alone.

"My name is Wei Lanzhi. My mother's surname is Wei. Lanzhi is a name commonly used by ordinary people." Si Qinmi chose a name by himself.

"Of course she is my wife. Just say she is from my hometown. Wait, I remember I kept saying I was not married. Forget it, these people won't care." Zhuang Xun temporarily made up his identity while dressing.

"If a man has no trust, how can he gain the trust of others and how can he be self-reliant? It can be said that I was a refugee from Xihe, and the husband was short of money to bury the daughter of Si Qin's family. I paid him to marry his concubine.

This way, the husband's reputation can be preserved, and it can also explain why the husband married a concubine with imperfect beauty." Si Qinmi thought more carefully and put on Zhuang Xun's robe.

"Well, that's it." Zhuang Xun was a little unaccustomed to being served and dressed.

As soon as I walked out of the courtyard, I saw the landlady, an old woman with a crutch, white hair and patterned hair.

"Mrs. Chen, you are taking a walk." Zhuang asked in greeting.

"Zhuang Sheng, is this the maid you bought? Yesterday, my aunt came in with her face covered and thought she was a thief." The old lady looked at Si Qin Mi and saw a subtle expression on her face.

"Just kidding, it's my newly married wife, Wei Lanzhi. Lanzhi, this is the owner of this house, Mrs. Chen." Zhuang Xun introduced.

"Zhuang Sheng, you...yesterday, I heard that you went to bury the daughter of Siqin's family?" Mrs. Chen looked at Siqin Mi's face again and hesitated to speak. Finally, she did not comment and changed the subject.

"It's true. Thanks to Mrs. Si Qin's help, I was able to find a job. After her death, I couldn't bear to have her body exposed in the market. Fortunately, with the help of my wife, it was settled properly." Zhuang Xun simply said that he had been sour these days.

Only the couple understands.

"It's true that he is loyal, even though he is not worthy of serving those wolf-hearted guys from the Siqin family." Mrs. Chen sighed.

"What are you going to do? Yindu is not in peace these days. There are too many refugees in Xicheng. Many people are squeezed out by them and can't find a job. But Mr. Zhuang, you are talented and are not afraid of wherever you go. You resigned from Zhou Ji

Where are you going to settle the accounts?" Mrs. Chen finished scolding and became concerned about Zhuang Xun's work.

"I went out to buy some food. I don't plan to find a job. I plan to leave Yindu, but it's not peaceful outside. I'm waiting for my friends to pick me up." Zhuang Xun honestly said that he was about to find an opportunity to ask whether he would rent a house.

"The old woman also wants to return to her hometown. The Lingguan Pass has been broken. Next is Chengdie Pass. Chengdie Pass has been sealed. Poor people in Xihe outside the pass. The Siqin family is really a bunch of beasts. I heard that some Zhongwu people were sealed in Youguo.

Sir, is he worthy of being loyal?" Filled with righteous indignation, he kept tapping his cane on the ground.

"Yeah, madam, let's go shopping first. The ingredients will be stale after a while." She glanced sideways at Siqin Mi, who always had a faint smile on her face.

"Go." Mrs. Chen waved her hand.

The situation is getting worse day by day, whether it is begging or looking for work. With the influx of refugees, Yindu has also become bloated. Seeing the child kneeling on the ground and moaning, Zhuang Xun looked back several times and looked back.

Take your eyes back.

"Ten articles." Si Qinmi took out ten articles and said.

"What?" Zhuang Xun looked at the ten cents and then at the children begging.

"You can donate ten coins." Si Qinmi handed the money to Zhuang Xun.

"Um?"

"A hundred coins for extra wealth, ten coins for charity." Si Qinmi pushed Zhuang Xun, and Zhuang Xun took the copper coins and put them into the nearest bowls.

"Heaven is affectionate and values ​​life more than death." After Zhuang Xun finished, Si Qinmi took the initiative to hold Zhuang Xun's hand and said.

"Well, is this what you have seen and heard?" Zhuang Xun said, thinking of her previous description.

"Yes, I am frightened when I learn that there are gods three feet above my head. I don't know if good deeds can accumulate merits if they are not from the original intention." Si Qinmi shook his head and said, he has seen the trial of the underworld and the prosecution of sins in front of the evil mirror, but he has no good intentions.

Everyone must have a kind heart.

"Okay, it's okay. There is no saint in terms of deeds and heart. Did you always do good deeds out of your true heart?" Zhuang Xun affirmed, after all, no matter how kind your heart is, it is meaningless if you don't do it.

"Although some of them are pitiful, most of them were just trying to gain fame before. The world will change. No matter how much gold, silver and jewels you have, it can't be as good as a good reputation, which can be responded to by hundreds of people. But many people don't understand this truth. After the war, it will be heavy

All the gold and silver will be looted by others, and no matter how much grain there is, it will be eaten up by others. Only a reputation that responds to a hundred responses can gain the ability to protect oneself in times of turmoil, and then continue to hold gold, silver and grain." Si Qin Mi did not.

Hiding Zhuang Xun’s intention.

"Yes, even if the Yu State is not destroyed by the You State, it will still be a ruined country. It is traitorous and autocratic, has many miscellaneous taxes, and has natural and man-made disasters. It is just waiting for the last straw that breaks the camel's back. This straw seems to be

The You Kingdom has attacked the land of right and wrong." Zhuang Xun shook his head and walked into the market with Si Qinmi.

I bought grain, tofu, vegetables, and sadly I bought some chicken and charcoal fire. Prices soared, and I spent more than 20 yuan on just a little purchase.

I quickly returned home and saw several men of different ages standing at the door.

"Businessmen, what's going on? What kind of wind has brought you here?" Zhuang Xun walked up, not knowing why.

"I am apologizing to Mr. Zhuang. We have no choice but to lend you the carriage. It will also make it difficult for us to do business. A small gift is not respectful." The leader, a middle-aged man who was tanned by the sun, handed over the gift box.

"Hu Shangtou, I understand, and I won't blame you. Borrowing a car is a matter of affection, and not borrowing it is a duty. It's a tough job in the first place." Zhuang Xun was angry at the time, but when he thought about it, he didn't know what he was doing.

There was no obligation to help him. He only had a purely cooperative relationship with them, so he was relieved. He took the gift box and said generously.

The most important thing is that he is short of money at the moment. These are his parents and necessities, especially since he has a newly married wife at home, so he can't just be happy.

"Mr. Zhuang is really tolerant and a gentleman," Hu Shangtou praised.

"In addition to apologizing, do we need to reconcile the accounts? But does everyone have to reconcile the accounts?" Zhuang Xun didn't understand and said that these people usually have an agreed time, but today they actually got together.

"They are all small businesses. There is news that there will be additional taxes on merchants. Everyone is afraid and wants to run out of Yindu." Hu Shangtou smiled awkwardly.

"Old rules, you decide the order in which you give me the account books." Zhuang Xun did not delay and took the material gifts back to the house first.

"Lang Jun, are these all?" As Zhuang Xun entered the room, Si Qinmi was quite curious.

"The leaders of the caravans were unable to sort out the bills they were dealing with from the large commercial banks and had their own accounting problems, so they asked me to help them sort out their accounts." Zhuang Xun explained.
