Faced with the "stealing the bell while covering one's ears" strategy, Shangguan Shu weighed the two taels of silver in his hand and found that he was still three taels short of buying a sheep.
Shangguan Shu returned to the yard and began to sharpen his axe at night. He was going to the mountains to chop firewood and sell it tomorrow.
…
A quiet circle of graves.
The dry soil of the grave suddenly loosened, and a hand emerged from the soil.
After a cup of tea, Wei Yuan stood naked at the gate of Shangguan Shu's yard.
He shivered from the cold, covering his lower body with one hand and using the other to knock on the door.
QQ.
After knocking, Wei Yuan regained consciousness a little. He had been confused before.
Why knock on the door like this?
Why is he here?
Not dressed yet?
He wouldn't be raped by this pervert, would he?
There was a hint of inexplicable emotion in Wei Yuan's clear yet foolish eyes.
He only remembered that he was drinking at home, and then a group of men in black broke in, grabbed his neck without saying a word, and then he lost consciousness.
No, he passed out. They put him...
Snap——
a bolt from the blue--
Wei Yuan was being chopped to pieces. In the yard, Shangguan Shu, who was sharpening an axe, heard someone knocking on the door. He put down the axe and stood up to see what was going on. He was also being chopped to pieces.
What is going on?
Why is Wei Yuan here?
Not dressed yet?
In the wild mountains and wilderness, he must have been eating vegetarian food all day, which made him dizzy and blurry.
Shangguan Shu blinked hard and looked again, only then he was sure that he was not mistaken.
Then, a feeling of disgust crept from the bottom of his heart to his face.
Why is Wei Fu’s brother like this?
Is there something wrong with the Wei family's brains?
Could it be that the scandal has driven him mad?
Three questions in a row.
The atmosphere was extremely strange.
Until Shangguan Shu coughed twice and started to greet each other.
Two former colleagues who were quite familiar with each other now met again in such a deserted place, late at night, and in such an awkward situation. It was really worthwhile to have a good chat.
After all, it is quite difficult to have the right time, place and people.
"Brother Wei, how are you?"
Shangguan Shu bowed.
Wei Yuan also reacted. Seeing Shangguan Shu, another thunderclap hit his mind. Then, he followed Shangguan Shu's movements and wanted to return the greeting, "Don't come..."
Just as he was about to raise his hand, he discovered a problem.
He can't bow now.
Once you do it, you can’t hide it anymore.
Wei Yuan was also a "smart" person and quickly came up with a good idea.
He suddenly turned around, his back to Shangguan Shu, and stretched his arms behind his back, cupping his hands. "How are you these days, my lord?"
Shangguan Shu looked at Wei Yuan's big white butt, and the word "not bad" was stuck in his throat like a dead fly.
Fortunately, Wei Yuan covered his lower body and turned around.
It’s better to meet an acquaintance than not to meet him.
Wei Yuan was touched, especially when Shangguan Shu said, "The weather is cold, why don't you come in and talk?" Wei Yuan's heart was warmed even more.
Wei Yuan walked into the yard and saw the dilapidated scene. He felt puzzled and lamented. He wanted to ask why Master Shangguan was like this, but due to his own situation, the most urgent thing now was to ask Shangguan Shu for a set of clothes to cover his body.
"Prince, can you give me a set of clothes?"
This really stumped Shangguan Shu.
In his present financial condition, he was the only cloth in the house that was worn on his body.
These days, he often regretted why he only asked Liao Mu to leave one set of clothes.
Shangguan Shu couldn't help laughing when he thought about this.
He recalled a storybook he had read in his childhood. A family was so poor that they only had one set of clothes. So whoever had to go out wore it, and those who stayed at home hid in the quilt. Later, when they had no quilt left, they buried the clothes in the dirt...
Shangguan Shu shook his head.
Wei Yuan's mind clicked again.
Shangguan Shu put his fist to his mouth and coughed lightly, as if to hide his embarrassment. "To be honest, I only have one set of clothes at home. If Brother Wei doesn't mind, I have a quilt."
Wei Yuan: ...
Wei Yuan wrapped himself in the quilt in a daze and sat on the cold, hard earthen kang.
Shangguan Shu handed over a bowl of water.
Wei Yuan's teeth were chattering from the cold. Seeing this, he quickly picked up the bowl, brought it to his mouth and took a sip.
Huh——
Wei Yuan's face was wrinkled like an old lady.
This water is colder than his heart...
Shangguan Shu pretended not to see anything and sat down next to Wei Yuan (in fact, he didn't want to be so close to him, mainly because there were no chairs in the room).
"Brother Wei, why are you here?"
"I'm not too sure. I was drinking at home when a group of men in black suddenly broke in and started strangling me. I passed out, and when I woke up, I was buried in the ground. I finally crawled out, and then I met you, Prince."
"oh……"
It turned out that he was the one buried...
Shangguan Shu suddenly realized and said, "Brother Wei is so lucky."
Still alive after all this trouble...
The Wei family has truly been a plague for thousands of years! (Regardless of the consequences, he's going to escalate this to the entire Wei family, humph!)
After talking about himself, Wei Yuan also wanted to hear Shangguan Shu's opinion, so he asked, "Why are you here, my prince?"
Shangguan Shu sighed and told the truth, "My father kicked me out of the house..."
Wei Yuan had been drinking heavily for days, so he had never heard of Shangguan Shu and Zhao Ying's divorce. Therefore, he knew very little about the inside story, so his curiosity was not on point. He asked again, "Even if the prince was expelled from the palace, he shouldn't have ended up in such a situation..."
What's going on? Everyone in the capital knows that Shangguan Shu is a wealthy man. Not to mention what his mother left him, even the rewards from His Majesty are countless. How come he can't even afford a set of clothes now?
