Chapter 269 Have you heard? The Emperor will inspect the moat in three days

"What do you mean by dislike or not?" Xia Xiaoyun looked at Da Zhuang's handsome and flawless face and said, "I was worried that you disliked my ugly appearance!"

Although Da Zhuang has a limp due to his inconvenient legs, he has a great figure and is very tall, which makes people feel safe. Moreover, his face is different from that of ordinary people, and it is really handsome.

Da Zhuang is the most handsome man Xia Xiaoyun has ever seen since she was a child.

At the beginning, Xia Xiaoyun turned her fake play into reality and really became Dazhuang's wife, which was also due to Dazhuang's charming face.

But Xia Xiaoyun herself is not a girl with particularly stunning looks.

She has an ordinary appearance, at best she is pretty.

She was always worried that Da Zhuang would dislike her for being ugly.

To like someone means that you often feel that you are not good enough and are not a match for that person!

"Silly girl, what are you talking about!" Da Zhuang stretched out his hand and pinched Xia Xiaoyun's face, and said gently: "It is the greatest blessing of my life to meet you. In my heart, you are the most beautiful woman in the world."

"Da Zhuang..." Xia Xiaoyun's face turned slightly red and her heart was beating fast.

"Okay, let's go into the city and find a doctor." Da Zhuang said, "Find a doctor and he will treat your arm. I will make sure your arm is cured."

The couple supported each other and walked into the city.

When they arrived in front of a clinic, Da Zhuang looked at the words on the plaque and read "Jishidiang".

Although Da Zhuang lost his memory and forgot his identity and name, he still remembered the books he had read and the words he knew, so he was not illiterate.

"Just go and have a look at this one?"

"good."

Da Zhuang supported Xia Xiaoyun and entered Jishidiang.

After examining Xia Xiaoyun, the doctor at Jishidiang confirmed that Xia Xiaoyun's arm could be cured, but it would take some time.

It takes a hundred days to heal a broken bone, and at least three months to heal it.

Da Zhuang said, "That's great. Three months is three months. We will treat it."

"good."

As the doctor spoke, he took a look at Da Zhuang and Xia Xiao Yun's attire and saw that they were not dressed very well and did not look like natives of the capital. They looked like they came from outside, or even from the village.

The doctor didn't prescribe any expensive medicine.

He tried his best to prescribe strong but inexpensive medicine for them. He also simplified the treatment plan he made to help them save money.

A doctor is like a parent.

But even so, after Da Zhuang paid for Xia Xiaoyun's three months of medical expenses, he didn't have much money left, just enough for the two of them to stay in the inn for three or four days.

For the next three months, Dazhuang will need to earn money for food, accommodation and lodging in the capital.

Da Zhuang had no complaints.

After finishing today's acupuncture and bone setting, Dazhuang took Xia Xiaoyun to find an inn near Jishidiang to settle down temporarily.

In order to save money, the two of them lived in the most rudimentary room.

But neither of them felt uncomfortable, disgusted, or complained about the unfairness of fate... On the contrary, they smiled and looked forward to the future life after Xia Xiaoyun's arm healed.

From time to time, the hearty laughter of the two people could be heard from the simple room.

The next day, Da Zhuang sent Xia Xiaoyun to Jishidiang to treat her arm, while he himself limped to the moat and worked as a temporary porter, carrying rice from the boat.

The porters had a hard time.

Da Zhuang was always mocked, abused, and despised because of his lame leg, inability to use one arm, and not being as efficient as others at work...

He doesn't earn as much as others.

But for the sake of his livelihood, Da Zhuang endured it all.

He works diligently every day to make money, rain or shine.

But the money he earned was only enough to maintain their basic livelihood in the capital.

If you want to wear better clothes and eat better food, it is simply a fantasy and impossible. The cost of living in the capital is too high.

Fortunately, Da Zhuang didn't have any other extravagant hopes.

He only hoped that Xia Xiaoyun could get better soon.

And every day he is in pain and happy.

What hurts is that he is often bullied and ridiculed while working. What makes him happy is that he feels relieved when he sees Xia Xiaoyun getting better day by day.

One month later.

"Have you heard? In three days, the emperor will bring the princes out to inspect the expansion of the moat."

"We will be able to see the emperor."

"The Emperor doesn't have many opportunities to go out, so you must seize them well!"

Several porters put down their work and talked among themselves.

Only Da Zhuang was busy carrying rice, not saying a word and not participating in the process.

Everything seemed to have nothing to do with him.

"It seems that the emperor will not only bring the princes out for inspection, but also the pampered little princess."

"What about the Queen? Will the Emperor bring her?"

"I'm not sure about that. The Queen's health has always been poor. She has never participated in any ceremonies or celebrations in recent years. I don't think she will come."

"Alas, the Queen is also miserable. Both of her sons died. How could she not be sick?"

"What are you talking about? Get to work." The supervisor came and saw several people gathered together not working but just chatting like women. He yelled in frustration.

He looked angry and very ferocious.

"If you keep talking, your wages will be deducted."

"Did you hear that?"

The supervisor was spitting and threatening people.

"I understand." The people who spoke answered listlessly and went to work with a stern face.

The supervisor looked at the diligent Da Zhuang and said, "Da Zhuang, you performed well today. You were busy carrying things and didn't chat with them. I'll give you your processing fee today."

"Just add ten cents!"

Da Zhuang’s normal wage was 40 wen, 20 wen less than the average porter’s.

He and Xia Xiaoyun had to spend thirty cents every day to stay in the inn, and the remaining ten cents were only enough for three simple meals a day.

Now I suddenly have ten more cents.

What a pleasant surprise!

Da Zhuang was very happy.

He thought about how to add a snack tonight and have a good meal with Xia Xiaoyun.

He did hard labor, but he never ate well, didn't eat meat, felt weak, and got hungry quickly. And Xia Xiaoyun also needed to eat something good so that her arm would heal faster.

But after much deliberation, Da Zhuang decided to only buy two meat buns for Xia Xiaoyun and nothing for himself.

In this way, he could save the remaining six cents.

There are unexpected changes in the weather, and people may suffer misfortunes from day to day.

Saving a little money, no matter how much, can always be used to deal with sudden bad things in life, and it is better than having nothing at all.

The porters were not allowed to discuss things while they were working, so they could only concentrate on their work. But after work, they could discuss things freely.

After work, the porters started discussing the issue of the emperor inspecting the expansion of the moat.

"This patrol will be in three days, and it will be right next to us. I wonder if we can see it?"

"If the site is cleared in advance and the movers are not allowed to continue working, we may not be able to see it."

“But if the area hadn’t been cleared, maybe we would have seen it.”
