Chapter 1: The Life of the Poor


Master Jiu was lying on the bed.

His house was in tatters, like a lonely scavenger.

He was drunk.

According to the location mentioned by Master Fourteenth, I rode all the way to the town where Master Jiu was, asking everyone along the way.

Walking past, we finally arrived at Master Jiu’s house.

It was true, as the Fourteenth Master said, the house was in a mess, the table was covered with dust, and there was no life in the whole house except for the pungent smell of wine, which was a musty smell.

I saw Master Jiu smelling of alcohol and his face was unkempt.

I searched everywhere, but there wasn't even a quilt, so I took off my cloak and covered him.

Suddenly I realized that I was so tired.

I worked non-stop and spent four days getting here.

I didn't even get a good night's sleep.

I yawned and fell asleep unconsciously.

The next morning, probably because of the biological clock, Jiuye woke up early and saw a quilt covering himself.

When he picked it up, he found it was a cloak.

He turned around and saw Shu Qiao sitting on the ground.

Fell asleep.

Master Jiu reached out and touched Shu Qiao's hair, wanting to take a good look at Shu Qiao's face that touched his heart at this quiet moment.

I seemed to be a little itchy from being touched by Master Jiu's hand.

When I opened my eyes, I saw Master Jiu sitting there with a serious look on his face.

I rubbed my eyes and said, "When you wake up, I'll go cook."

"Stop, what are you doing here?"

Master Jiu yelled at me as I stood up.

I thought for a moment and said, "Even though it's not my fault that you're in this situation now, it's also related to me.

I just don't want anyone to have an accident because of me."

I just told the truth straightforwardly and didn't want to say anything more.

I want to go to the kitchen to cook.

"Go away, I don't need your pity."

Master Jiu said firmly and indifferently.

I stopped in my tracks when Master Jiu said these words.

I took a deep breath and said, "I'm going to cook."

I went straight to the kitchen and took off the basket on the rice vat, only to find that there was no rice in it, only a few mice.

Really shocked, I continued to look through several jars, but still found nothing.

I walked out silently, only to find that Master Jiu was no longer there.

I looked at the door and guessed that Master Jiu had gone out again: I didn't even have rice at home, so it seemed that I had to find a way to go out and buy something.

I came to the street and pawned the clothes I was wearing.

This clothes was made of fine workmanship from the palace.

The cloth is also unique Sichuan brocade.

Although the price of selling it is not much, it is enough to live on.

I bought myself two sets of simple clothes, one gray and white, one blue and white.

It doesn't matter if I sell the clothes, I won't be in trouble.

This whole outfit was ruined.

I bought ten pounds of rice and some eggs.

A few vegetables don't cost much, so I can only save some money.

"I'll beat you, but you have to give me wine."

I heard a voice not far away that sounded very much like Master Jiu.

I walked forward, squeezed into the crowd and saw that it was indeed Master Jiu.

He was being beaten.

I didn't say anything.

He rushed forward but still held the eggs, rice and vegetables tightly in his hands and shouted: "Stop, stop it quickly."

They saw me shouting so hard there.

The boss then shouted to the thugs: "Stop."

I looked at the boss and asked, "Boss, what did my young master do to make you beat him like this?"

The boss said with a look of disgust: "Little girl, he is a grown man who comes here all day long to steal wine, and he still insists on staying in our store.

He looks like a beggar, why don't we go out and fight him."

I glanced at Mr.

Jiu, who was still a little drunk, but not to be outdone, I said, "Give him ten cents worth of wine."

I put down my things and took out the money and gave it to the boss.

"Okay, wait."

The boss went in, and so did the thugs.

I thought I could get the wine and leave later.

But he sneered: "You are satisfied, seeing me in such a miserable state."

While picking up the things, I tried to calmly say: "Go home after drinking.

I'll wait for you at home."

I picked up the things and left, not caring what Master Jiu would do next or how he would abuse himself.

In the evening, I cooked the dishes and waited for Master Jiu at the table.

It was getting dark, but Master Jiu still didn't come back: Could it be that he was drunk.

I was worried, so I quickly got up and went to find Master Jiu.

I came to the door where Master Jiu wanted a drink this morning.

I wanted to go in and ask, but suddenly I heard the sound of the wine bottle rolling next to me.

I took a look and found Master Jiu lying down.

At the corner, I ran over and touched Master Jiu's hands, "It's so cold."

I helped Master Jiu up, but Master Jiu was a man after all and he was so heavy.

But I’m not a vegetarian either.

Thanks to the training I had given myself in Jiuye’s Ai Mansion, otherwise I wouldn’t be able to support such a strong body at all.

Finally, we helped Master Jiu back to our simple house, put Master Jiu on the bed, and covered him with a quilt.

I wiped the sweat from my forehead and walked to the cooked food.

If you don't want to eat, that's fine, but I have to eat.

I can't starve my body, otherwise who will take care of us.

I held the bowl and ate the rice vigorously.

The next morning, I was cleaning the garbage in front of the courtyard and fixing the fence.

The empty space in front of the courtyard was very large and filled with waste firewood.

However, the snow and water in the previous few days made the firewood still very useful. wet.

I saw Master Jiu standing stupidly at the door, saying nothing.

I smiled and said, "Master Jiu, wake up, I'll get you breakfast."

I walked past Mr.

Jiu, brought a bowl of rice, a pot of green vegetables, and scrambled eggs, and placed them on the table outside: "The sun is very sunny outside today, and you can breathe fresh air while eating here."

Master Jiu glanced at me and said ungratefully: "Before, I was a prince, and you were not willing to be my Fujin.

Now I am a prisoner, but you came here just to see my jokes."

Well."

I put the eggs in Jiuye's bowl and said, "It's precisely because you were a prince before and you were aloof, that I thought you were not approachable.

Now, you and I are equal."

"I know, you think you hurt me.

You just feel guilty for me and pity me."

Master Jiu.

I didn't speak, I just buried my head in eating, because this was indeed one of the reasons.

I didn't want to lie to others, so I chose to remain silent.

Master Jiu looked at Shu Qiao and said nothing.

He angrily knocked over all the food on the table and shouted loudly: "What are these?

Are they for me to eat?"

I couldn't help it.

These were the only eggs in the house.

I shouted loudly to Lord Jiu: "Yinzhen, do you think you are a prince now?

I tell you, I just don't want to owe you any favors.

So I I just came to find you.”

"Okay," Master Jiu stood up: "Then you go back to Fourth Brother's house, I don't need your pity."

Then he shook his sleeves and left.

I looked at Master Jiu's back and couldn't help but curse: "Yin Zhen."

You bastard, I gave up the Fourth Master for you, but you still show off your Young Master record.

"After I finished cursing, I began to calm down.

I grabbed the eggs and other vegetables that were scattered on the ground with my hands: I must have made a fool of myself, and happened to meet this ninth master.

He has his young master's temper, but, I I can only help him return to the court.

If history changes, wouldn't it be my fault?

It was noon, and I cooked a bowl of egg custard and two bowls of rice.

Master Jiu hadn't come back yet, so Shu Qiao leaned on the table and knocked on the egg custard a few times.

Talking to himself: Egg custard, egg custard, be good and let Master Jiu drink you, but don't waste it anymore, otherwise, there will really be nothing to eat in this house.

People were moving around outside the door, and I stood up: "Master Jiu, sit down, sit down."

I smiled, watching Master Jiu sit down, and then put a bowl of egg custard in front of Master Jiu: "There is no meat at home.

I will always eat egg custard, and you can eat rice if you want, or not."

I said.

I put the rice aside.

Master Jiu glanced at it, then took the spoon.

I thought to myself that Master Jiu had finally eaten this time, so I sat down happily and took a bite of green vegetables.

"Ah" I was frightened by the spoon thrown by Master Jiu.

"It's mixed with water, how can I eat it?"

He shook his sleeves and continued to sit down.

I watched the last egg being wasted, but I was still eating the few remaining green vegetables: aishuqiao.

You have to hold back, as long as Master Jiu returns to the capital safely, it will be the day when he and Master Fourth will meet each other.

"Wait a minute, I'll buy you fish."

I packed up the egg custard, vegetables and rice on the table and took them into the kitchen.

Then walked out.

Alas, I have no money, how can I buy fish for Master Jiu?

I was walking on the bridge alone, and suddenly I saw the river under the bridge.

I walked over and took a look: By the way, I can't buy it, so I'll catch it myself.

I happily ran down and found a sharper stick.

I rolled up my sleeves and trouser legs and started inserting fish there sadly.

After a long time, I finally got a message saying, "Ha, today you are our dinner."

I happily raised the fish: No wonder costume dramas in the past always liked to film scenes of catching fish in the wild.

It turns out, it's really It is reasonable.

I got home, and after a while, I finally cooked a fresh braised fish.

"Here it comes, freshly baked braised fish."

I happily brought it to Master Jiu: "You asked me to make this at Master Ba's house before.

I guarantee it will suit your taste."

I said confidently.

Master Jiu looked at it with a serious face, then smelled it and said calmly: "I'm hungry, please give me the food."

"Okay."

I turned around and went in and took out the meal for him.

"Master Jiu, let's eat."

Seeing how delicious Jiuye was eating, I sat down and started eating.

At night, I sat in the yard, looking at the few stars in the sky, and I couldn't help but longing for me: Fourth Master, are you looking at the stars?

At this time, the fourth master was lying on the hospital bed, catching a cold because of the snow, but he was also looking at the sky outside the window: Although the stars in the sky are sparse, you said that even if two people are in different places, they are in the same place.

Under the starry sky, when I see the stars, I can feel that you are by my side, looking at this night scene with the moon and stars sparse.

I sat on the chair and leaned on the table, feeling more comfortable looking at the sky.

At this time, Master Jiu glanced at Shu Qiao and knew that he must be thinking about Master Fourth.

He went to sleep very angry.

The next day, Master Jiu got up and walked to the lobby.

He only saw words written in carbon on the ground: Master Jiu, there is nothing delicious for breakfast.

I will come back at noon to prepare something delicious for you.

Master Jiu was actually very happy, but he pretended not to see it and continued to go out.

I carried a basket of fish to the vegetable market.

The market was very busy: although it took me so long to catch three fish in the morning, I could still make enough money to buy some meat for that bastard Jiu Ye.

I found an empty seat and sat down, pouring the fish out, but the fish was covered in blood, probably because it had been penetrated, so I put it in the shed and poured some water in.

"Girl, how do you sell this fish?"

An aunt came over.

I didn’t know the price and was stunned for a moment and said, “Five cents.”

"Oh, it's too expensive."

The aunt shook her head and left.

I just opened my mouth, but I held it back.

I continued to sit there, waiting for someone to come and buy it.

"Three pennies, fresh live fish.

Come and buy, fresh fish this morning."

A small vendor shouted.

"Green onions, green onions, one penny a bundle, two cents three bundles." shouted the onion vendor.

They are all shouting, so do I have to shout too.

Just now their live fish cost three cents, so my two cents is about the same.

Just do it, "I'm selling fish, fresh fish for two cents, three fish for five cents."

After selling it for a long time, no one came over.

I took the bamboo tube and poured some water to drink.

"Girl, how do you sell this fish?"

A little girl came over.

Her facial features were quite delicate.

She looked about thirteen or fourteen years old.

If she opened her mouth, she would be a little beauty.

I quickly put down the bamboo tube and said, "This one costs two cents, and three pieces cost five cents."

"It's so cheap.

Is there something wrong with the fish?"

the little girl asked with some doubts.

"No, because I am a dead fish, so it is cheaper.

But don't worry, this was just shot this morning.

You see, the blood is still fresh."

I explained desperately.

"Then let's do this.

For four cents, sell me these three pieces."

The girl had a wishful thinking.

I looked at the sun: I guess Master Jiu is hungry.

I said with a smile: "Girl, you are really good at bargaining.

Remember to come to my business next time."

I put the fish in the girl's basket.

"Okay, then, I'll give you the money."

The girl handed over the money.

I took the money and said, "Thank you."

"Oh!"

Suddenly someone took the money from my hand.

"Why did you steal other people's money?"

I asked angrily.

"Girl, is it your first time to sell fish today?"

asked the leader Bao Xing.

"This is my first time selling fish, so you can't steal money."

I looked at that person and said.

"Remember, my name is Bao Xing.

This street is my rent-collecting street.

If you want to sell things here, you have to pay rent."

Bao Xing said arrogantly.

"Then you give the money to someone else, and we can slowly discuss the rent payment."

The little girl buying fish next to me didn't leave yet, but stood up and spoke for me.

"Are you just a passerby buying fish?

Why are you nosy?"

Bao Xing said a little unhappy.

I stood in front of the girl, fearing that the kind-hearted little girl would be frightened, and said, "Girl, let's go.

Paying the rent is a matter of course.

I believe Mr.

Bao will talk to me."

The girl took one look and said, "Okay, then you should be careful."

After the girl left, Bao Xing smiled and said, "You're pretty calm, okay.

Let's forget it for today.

From now on, 50% of your harvest every day will belong to me."

"Okay."

I agreed, took the four cents thrown by Bao Xing, and happily put it in my heart.

I bought a little bit of pork and came home.

The four cents of pork was only enough for a few bites.

I chopped it into minced pork, took out a little bit of flour, made ten pieces of dough, and made dumplings.

Waiting for Master Jiu to come back to eat.

I stared at the dumplings for a long time, and my stomach growled loudly: just bear with it, just think of it as losing weight.

"Master Jiu, come over and eat dumplings."

Master Jiu could smell the smell of alcohol clearly.

Master Jiu sat down, ate one of the dumplings, and seemed very satisfied.

I walked in, filled a basin of hot water, came out with a towel, handed the towel to Master Jiu and said, "Here, wipe your face."

Master Jiu took the towel and wiped his face and said, "I want to drink.

Buy me a drink."

I took the towel, squeezed out the water and said, "I don't have any money anymore."

"How can you get meat if you don't have money?

I think you just don't want to give it to me."

Master Jiu pretended to be an uncle.

"Drinking too much is bad for your health."

I warned.

"Forget it."

Master Jiu didn't want to continue talking and left.

I looked at the back of Master Jiu as he left again.

I wanted to be angry but couldn't.

I had to put away the dishes and chopsticks, and suddenly thought: Master Jiu will not cause trouble and ask for a bar like last time.

I put down my dishes and followed him out
