Chapter 216: Heartache boy

What they did not expect was that the merchant who had signed the contract with Shen Dejian was actually a noble man, and he actually lived in a big house not far from the Palace of King Cham. When Shen Dejian learned that the client who signed the contract with him was a big man, I'm a little nervous, but it's more of a surprise. If you can get along with such a big man, it will definitely be easier to make money in the future!

Shen Ruolan felt that something was wrong. The person who could live near the palace should be a figure from the Jizhou Political Rights Center. How could a merchant live here?

You must know that the status of merchants in ancient times was very low. The so-called "shanghai, peasants, industry and commerce" belonged to the lowest level of society. No matter how much money they have, they cannot change their social status. But how can such a person be How about living next to the palace?

Feeling something was wrong, she quietly told her father about her doubts.

However, Shen Dejian disagreed, "Perhaps this prince is open-minded and unruly, and he can get along with that Zheng, or it is that Zheng is also a figure in the officialdom, doing business in private."

However, Shen Ruolan felt that as a prince, a royal family, the chance of becoming friends with a lowly merchant is very small. Even in the modern era where everyone is equal, in the process of interpersonal communication, they also like to make friends who are similar to their own identity. My friend, in this rigorously hierarchical society, which prince would make a lowly merchant and get him around as a neighbor?

The second point is even more impossible. If it is a figure in officialdom, or a figure who can be a neighbor to the prince, he must be a high official. It is absolutely impossible to condescend to do business, and it is impossible to fancy Crystal Jelly What kind of contract and deposit will be paid for such an inconspicuous small business.

Shen Dejian thinks that his daughters think too much. No matter what their status is, as long as they can live here, they must have an identity. It is impossible to trick him into a small business, because-he has nothing to deceive. !

Shen Ruolan agrees with this point. Those who can live here really won't lie to a small family like their family. Even if they lie to their family's wealth, they don't have much money? Can't commit it!

Thinking about it this way, she felt more relieved. Perhaps, she was really too sensitive!

Shen Dejian went to visit the Lord Zheng as scheduled. Shen Ruolan took the brothers Shen Fucun and the sisters Zhaodi and waited at the corner gate outside Zheng's mansion. Because the other party was a big man, his father couldn't lead them all in, even the main entrance. But they can't go, they can only go through the corner door.

While waiting for others, Brother Fu Cun said quietly, "Lanya, I heard that Zhang Eryong is also in Jizhou, won't you go and see him?"

Shen Ruolan shook her head and said, "Next time, I just know that he is in Jizhou. I don't know exactly where he lives. Jizhou is so big, where should I go to find him? Or wait for you to settle down here. , Find him slowly, you can take me to see him when I come back next time."

Shen Fucun nodded: "Also, Jizhou is really big. It's really not easy to find someone. Maybe we haven't found him yet when you come back."

Shen Jincun said: "In the past, I thought that Qisong Town was big enough, but when the previous one went to Nong'an, I realized that I was just a toad at the bottom of the well. This is even more remarkable when I came here today. There are ten Nong'an big, my dear!"

Shen Ruolan laughed ‘pouch’ when he said, “Brother Jin Cun, that’s called the frog at the bottom of the well, not the frog at the bottom of the well. Also, the latter sentence should be expressed as “the sky is beyond the sky”, which really convinces you.”

"Hey, isn't the frog at the bottom of the well just the toad at the bottom of the well? There are other words like'the sky is beyond the sky'. Those are the words that my uncle often talks about. I won't say it, eh? Why would you say these four words or four words? 'What about it?"

Shen Jincun squatted beside Shen Ruolan, copied his sleeves, and looked at her with a smile.

Shen Ruolan looked at him in such a casual look, and laughed: "You can get up quickly, you think you are at the root of the south wall of your home in the sun, watch out for a while when someone jokes that you are a'hillie'."

Shen Jincun smiled disapprovingly, "Laugh as you laugh. I'm a hillbilly, I'm not afraid of them laughing."

"That's not okay, people just breathe, the same people, why call others a joke?" Shen Ruolan disagrees with her cousin's indifferent spirit. She looked at the two cousins ​​and said, "We will find out later. Where I live, I will buy decent clothes for both of you. Although we are here to work, we must also pay attention to our own image, and we should not be underestimated by others."

A few days ago, the auntie turned around and asked her for clothes for Shen Ruomei, but she was ruthlessly rejected, not because she was reluctant to bear a piece of clothes, but because the other party was Shen Ruomei, she was like this, the person she cared about and valued, She wouldn't even blink at the amount of money she gave him (her), but she hated people who hated it, and even if she gave her (him) a needle, she refused.

It's not about money, but mood!

When Shen Fucun and Shen Jincun heard that Shen Ruolan was going to buy them clothes, they hurriedly declined: "No, no, we are men. It doesn't matter if we wear bad clothes. We are very grateful for your second uncle to bring us out, so just leave us alone. Spending money indiscriminately."

Shen Ruolan said: "If you buy it for you, you just take it. It’s not for anything else. It’s just for the two of you to treat me well. You didn’t bully me like others. Therefore, I still recognize you two brothers and buy you clothes. My sister has a little care for my brother. You don’t have to have any psychological burdens, and you don’t have to feel bad about it. This is what I want. If I don’t want to, you just open your mouth and ask me for it, and I won’t give it to you. of."

Shen Fucun and Shen Jincun both heard it. This was telling them why she refused their old lady's request and why she refused to buy clothes for Shen Ruomei.

In fact, even if Shen Ruolan didn't explain, the brothers wouldn't be grudged against Shen Ruolan. They all know how Mother and Meier dealt with Lanya in the past, and how could they blame Lanya for annoying them? Regarding their attitude towards Lanya, let alone Lanya, even their brothers would not agree.

The same is true for my elder mother. How can the elders ask for things from the younger ones? To take advantage of the dignity of the elders, don't you remember the people Lanya in the past? How about such a big face now?

After learning about it that day, the brothers blushed at what happened to the old lady, and they almost went to Shen Ruolan to apologize, so even if Shen Ruolan didn’t explain to them, they would never have anything to do with her. Grumpy.

After explaining this.

Shen Dejian came out, with a small servant next to him, he walked quickly to Shen Ruolan, and said with excitement: "Lan, Dad really met a noble person. When I went in just now, Lord Zheng heard that we haven't settled yet. He rented his free private house to Dad not far from here. The two-entry house only costs a couple of dollars a month. This is a good thing that you can’t find even with a lantern."

Everyone was very happy to hear that there was something good here, and they all clamored to see the new house.

Shen Ruolan couldn't get happy. She always felt something was wrong. Since Master Zheng is so rich, why should he rent out her house to outsiders? He is not short of these two or two silvers, it is completely unnecessary!

However, as her father said, it is impossible for others to calculate them, because their family has nothing worthy of calculation!

Seeing that everyone is so happy, Shen Ruolan is not easy to dissuade everyone, and quietly followed to see the new house.

The new house is indeed not far from here. It is less than 500 meters away. It is a small and exquisite courtyard with blue bricks and green tiles, carved windows and two entrances. The furniture and things inside are all available, including pots. There are bowls and pans, so you can live in directly.

Everyone has never lived in such a good house. The brothers Shen Fucun ran around in the yard happily. Seeing everything was strange. They asked the sisters to pour things into the house, and they didn’t live at the same time. Looking at the people inside and outside the house, the corners of his eyes and eyebrows are also smiling, and he can see that he is anxious to be able to live in such a house.

Shen Ruolan was also very satisfied with the house, and secretly wrote down the layout of the courtyard, planning to follow this layout when her family builds the house.

After putting things back together, Shen Ruolan took two cousins ​​to the street and bought them clothes for each of them. The two brothers put on new cotton clothes and cotton shoes. They didn't know what to do in the aisle, and one was awkward. Cautiously, she made Shen Ruolan amused and giggled...

Shen Ruolan only stayed here for one night and then went back. She and Zhang Siye made an appointment to visit Master Rong in Qingzhou. Time was tight and she couldn't tolerate her staying longer.

However, the environment here is so good, she will definitely come over to stay occasionally after the busy time is over.

Back in Nong'an County, it was already two days later. After meeting with Zhang Siye, the two went to Qingzhou without stopping.

After walking on the road for two more days, it was only two days later that he arrived in Qingzhou in the evening.

The non-stop boats and carts over the past few days made Shen Ruolan exhausted. After arriving in Qingzhou, the two of them lived in a high-end inn in Qingzhou. The inn was facing the street, and their rooms were on the second floor. The rooms they chose were adjacent to each other. Whatever it is, there can be an answer.

After Shen Ruolan entered the house, she told Xiaoer to boil water. She was going to take a bath, and she planned to wash away the exhaustion before going to bed.

When preparing water, she walked to the window and opened the window to watch the street when she was idle.

It was already evening, the sun was setting, and the sky was a bit cold, so there were not many people on the street, sparse, everyone was in a hurry, probably in a hurry to go home.

Shen Ruolan watched for a while, afraid of letting the house cool, and was about to close the window. Suddenly, she saw a thin boy hurriedly running from South Street. The boy was in his teens and dressed in tatters. I looked back while running, very nervous.

"Thief, catch the thief, stop..."

Suddenly heard a loud noise!

Shen Ruolan followed the voice, but saw a few adult men chasing after him. The men ran very fast, just catching up with the boy.

The boy was probably too nervous, he staggered under his feet, stepped on a piece of ice and snow, slid, and staggered onto the ground. Before he could get up, the men behind chased him up!

"I'll let you run, I'll let you run!" A man with a beard and a beard was just a few feet at the child. The little child was kicked like a ball, rolling all over the street.

"I stole Lao Tzu's silver, and dared to run, Lao Tzu killed you a little beggar!" Several other men who came after it kicked and beat the boy, and the boy who beat him screamed and screamed, so pitiful. .

Seeing the child being beaten so badly, Shen Ruolan's heart suddenly hurt. I don't know why, but it hurts very much, just like every punch and foot hit her body, it hurts even the window Forgot to turn off, and ran downstairs.

When the three-step two-step process went downstairs, the men were still beating the child, and the child was dying, but the few people still couldn't stop.

"stop!"

Shen Ruolan yelled and ran to the child in strides.

The beaters heard this angry scolding, and when they looked back, they saw a 14-five-year-old thin girl running over, and shouted: "Little bitch, it's your **** that I teach the thief? You shit! Mother is nosy, be careful to irritate Lao Tzu, and Lao Tzu teaches you with you."

Shen Ruolan took a breath and tried to calm herself as much as possible, and said, "Several people, even if this kid stole your money, you have beaten him like this, isn't it enough? Killing is not enough, he is a little kid. , You fought and fought and got your silver back. What do you want?

"What's a fight? I want him to have a hand!" the bearded man shouted brutally.
