Chapter 52 Selling Myself to Bury My Father
I saw that there was no wet spot on their clothes. Could it be that they were so lucky that they were assigned to examination rooms that did not leak?
Braving the rain and protecting the test paper, the baby who finished the college entrance examination said he felt very miserable.
Why are they in such a mess, while those few others seem to be fine?
“???” Why are human beings’ sorrows and joys not shared?
Kong Jue saw many students walking out of the examination room with wet clothes, and he admired An Xin's foresight.
If An Xin knew what Kong Jue was thinking, he would definitely tell him that there was a crow's mouth in the family, and he had no foresight and the conditions did not allow it.
After finishing the college entrance examination, An Xin and the others originally planned to go back the next day, firstly because there was nothing else for them to do if they stayed here.
Another thing is that the price of the house where they live is really too high. Except for Leng Xiangbai, although the others are not short of money, it does not stop them from feeling stingy with money.
Especially the miser Zhu Shijing, if everyone hadn't persuaded him, he would have almost taken a carriage back home on the night of the exam, just to save one night's accommodation fee.
However, Kong Jue said that they could rest here for one more day and they didn't have to pay for that night's accommodation.
An Xin, holding to the famous saying that if you don't take advantage of a good deal, you're a bastard, decided to stay here for another night and buy some things.
The next day, the weather was fine.
After breakfast, except for Kong Jue who had to go out for something, everyone prepared to buy some things to bring back for their families.
The streets are bustling with people, and the vendors on both sides of the street sell a wide variety of items.
The loud gongs and drums of the jugglers attracted people coming and going to watch. The city was indeed much more lively than Lin'an County.
As he was walking, An Rui heard a storyteller's wonderful narration coming from a teahouse, which drew applause from the guests.
He had loved listening to storytelling since he was a child. He took Liu Boxing and An Xin's hand, said hello, and walked into the teahouse.
What could An Xin do? He could only hope that Liu Boxing could be more reliable and pull him out before An Rui spent all the money he had as rewards.
Otherwise, she would let the two walk back to Lin'an County after they returned, so that the two young masters, who had never lacked money since childhood, would know the importance of silver.
"I'm going to the jewelry store now. If you want to buy something, you can go by yourself. You don't have to accompany me."
Everyone wants to buy different things, and it would be a waste of time if we force them together. I want to buy some novel pearl flowers for my second aunt and the two little girls at home and bring them back as gifts.
I'm afraid they are not interested in these.
Sure enough, when Zhu Shijing and Jiang Zhou heard that they wanted to buy women's jewelry, they left in a loving manner with a lack of interest on their faces.
Li Ziyu: "Xiang Bai and I want to go to the study in the city and then go back directly."
Watching the backs of those people leaving without mercy, An Xin began to worry that these straight male students of hers might not be able to find wives in the future.
"What about you? Don't you want to buy anything?" An Xin turned around and saw that there was still one person left beside him, and asked.
Kong Xun smiled shyly, "I seldom went out since I was a child, so I don't know what to buy."
An Xin saw that he looked naive and innocent, and she didn't know how he developed such a character, and what kind of family would raise their son like this.
"Come on, I'll take you around the street, and tell me if there's anything you want to buy."
Kong Xun nodded obediently, "Okay!"
Seeing how well-behaved and docile he was, An Xin wanted to reach out and touch his head, only to find that the boy was quite tall.
After walking for a while, Kong Xun had a string of candied haws and a candy man in his hand.
An Xin turned back silently. This made the boy look even more stupid.
People passing by saw this handsome young man, who was still craving for snacks like a child, and they all smiled kindly.
As An Xin was walking, she heard the footsteps behind her stop, and turned to look. She saw Kong Xun standing on the side of the road, watching a melodramatic scene that only happened in movies and TV dramas.
"???"
Selling oneself to bury one's father, isn't this plot bloody enough?
An Xin approached and saw a young woman crying with her head down next to a dead body covered with a mat on the ground. He noticed that she was glancing at the crowd out of the corner of her eyes.
I couldn't help but exclaim in my heart, the meaning of selling myself to bury my father must be not simple.
When Kong Xun was about to take out his wallet, he quickly held his hand and moved closer, "Want to be kind?"
Kong Xun's fair face seemed to be dyed red by smoke because of An Xin's sudden approach. He lowered his head hastily and said softly, "I just... I just feel sorry for her~"
"Ha!" This cute little look is too unfair.
Even An Xin, a straight girl, was dazzled by this handsome little appearance.
An Xin looked at the woman who was kneeling on the ground with her eyes wandering around, but had a very pitiful appearance. Seeing that her eyes lingered on people dressed in rich clothes, she understood the meaning of selling herself to bury her father.
An Xin looked at this naive person and wanted to do a good deed every day, so he reminded him, "You gave her money, aren't you afraid of being cheated?"
"I... I help her without asking for anything in return." Kong Xun: "If she really has nowhere to go, I... I..."

"How are you?" An Xin asked.
"I asked my mother to take her in as a servant, so that she would have a place to live."
"You're not stupid enough to say you want to bring her home as your wife," An Xin joked.
"You, you, you..." Kong Xun had a hurt expression as if to say, how could you think of me like that.
"Okay, I won't tease you anymore." An Xin pulled him, "Come with me."
An Xin came to a place where coolies were sold and spent five hundred copper coins to buy a piece of clothing worn by a coolie.
Kong Xun asked in confusion: "Why did you buy his clothes?"
"Do good things." An Xin: "Didn't you see that I bought him clothes? He was very happy."
This is true. A strong man working as a laborer can earn less than 50 copper coins a day.
The patched clothes he was wearing would not only be worth five hundred copper coins, but even if he threw them on the ground, no one would pick them up.
An Xin was willing to spend more money to buy clothes for the coolies, and he really had the intention of doing good deeds, and by the way, he wanted to teach this naive boy a lesson on how to behave.
"Put it on."
"Put it on me?" Kong Xun asked, staring at him with eyes as clear as jade, pointing at his nose.
An Xin nodded affirmatively, "Yes, put it on and I'll take you to be a good person."
This boy not only looks as gentle as jade and handsome, but he is also wearing a blue silk brocade robe.
An Xin thought with his toes that as long as the woman was not blind, Kong Xun would not even have to take out his wallet and the woman would immediately agree to be saved and taken home by this boy.
He is definitely a rich sponsor, who can not love him?
Under An Xin's determined gaze, Kong Xun put on the patched coolie clothes on the outside.
An Xin looked him up and down, left and right.
I made his hair a little messy, sprinkled some dust on his shoes, and smeared the dust on my hands on his cheeks and forehead.
Such a handsome young man, under An Xin's ruthless destruction, turned into a gray and skinny little laborer in the blink of an eye.
