Chapter 0029: Money Loss (2 / 3)



Yu Shaoxie: “…”

Oh my god, I was so nervous for nothing.

This question made Yu Shaoxie laugh and cry: "Cheng'er and I grew up together. Blood is thicker than water, so of course we get along very naturally. Why, Xiao brother, are you asking me this because you are worried that you won't get along well with your brother?"

Xiao Rong looked at him steadily, then denied: "No."

Yu Shaoxie: “…”

Your expression doesn't say that.

He actually didn't know how to explain to Xiao Rong. Although he left home to study at the age of twelve, he didn't go far and was always in the Sheyang Lake area. Yu Shaocheng would send him some things from time to time, and the two of them had never been estranged. Xiao Rong rarely mentioned his family, but from his tone, it seemed that he had hardly returned home during the years he was studying abroad.

This is understandable. After all, Xiao Rong knows a lot of things. He must have learned from many teachers, some of whom are great talents living in seclusion in the mountains. That's why he was able to emerge into the world with such great abilities.

After much thought, Yu Shaoxie could only advise him: "After not seeing each other for a long time, relatives will feel a little estranged, but the friendship between brothers from the same mother cannot be severed by a few years of separation. Looking at Xiao's character, I know that Xiao's younger brother is also a good man who abides by filial piety, modesty and kindness. You really don't have to worry that he will forget how to get along with you."

Xiao Rongmo: "I'm really not worried about this."

Yu Shaoxie laughed, and then listened to Xiao Rong finish the second half of his sentence: "So what I'm worried about is that I won't be able to get along with him."

Yu Shaoxie: “…”

When the Zhenbei Army marched to Jiaocheng, which is the area of ​​the Loess Plateau, Ashu and his men had already arrived in Xin'an.

Zhang Biezhi and the others took off their armor, disguised themselves as ordinary merchants, crossed the Huai River, entered Nanyong from Huainan, and then repeated the pattern of riding horses, taking boats, riding horses, and taking boats all the way.

Zhang Biezhi: “…………” He was seasick.

The whole journey made him very angry. Why are there so many water systems in the south? No wonder there were rumors in the army about training a navy. Although he did not pass through Chenliu City when he came from Yanmen County, but went south from Guancheng, he could see that Chenliu was definitely a place with a well-developed water system.

How can we live from now on? The scholars are so annoying. They insist on urging the king to move the capital to an area with many rivers. Even horse racing is not fun. It is so depressing. ...

Zhang Biezhi, who just turned eighteen this year, had led a large army to drive away the Hu people who occupied Zhangwu County five years ago, saving a large number of people, including the Zhang family. They were a wealthy family in Zhangwu County, but still a little bit away from being a noble family. Old Master Zhang was grateful for the rescue by the Zhenbei Army, and also wanted to find a backer for himself, so he married his beautiful daughter to Jian Qiao.

It must be said that the old ones are still the wisest. At that time, the entire Zhenbei Army was a group of bachelors, but Old Master Zhang still took a fancy to General Jian, who was not the best-looking, not the most courageous, and even a little bit cowardly. He even went against all odds and threw his daughter and son into the Zhenbei Army. …

When he was young, Zhang Biezhi grew up in a honey pot. When he was eight years old, he met with a disaster and his family hid in the cellar to escape death. Later, the Hu people tried to govern this land, and his father was invited over again and again, either to ask for money or to threaten people. Unfortunately, other neighbors were unaware of this and thought that his father had surrendered to the Hu people.

Zhang Biezhi didn't have a good time during that period. He was looked down upon wherever he went. He had a bad temper and was like a bully. He always wanted to fight and scold people. As long as he was not locked in the house, he would go out to cause trouble every day.

Later, the Zhenbei Army arrived, and his new backer also arrived. The anger he had accumulated turned him into a complete troublemaker. But Jian Qiao was his brother-in-law, so he had to rescue him no matter what. What was even more annoying was that he actually had some skills, and if he really wanted to do something, most people could not beat him.

As a result, he becomes an outspoken person who bullies the weak and fears the strong, calls for war and killing, and does not know what is good for him.

Summary: This is just a rogue with a somewhat high status.

Before he had any contact with Xiao Rong, Zhang Biezhi had no feelings towards him. But now that he had come to pick up his grandmother, Zhang Biezhi felt that Xiao Rong had too many things to deal with. He was just a scholar, so why should he trouble himself to come and pick up his family?

He thought so in his heart and even dared to say so in front of Ah Shu. Ah Shu was usually very quiet outside, so he just listened silently. Sometimes Zhang Biezhi felt that he was in a daze and actually didn't listen to his complaints at all. But every time he thought so, he would find that Ah Shu's eyes were looking to the left. Only after he finished speaking would Ah Shu's eyes droop quietly.

If Zhang Biezhi had studied psychology, he would have known that Ah Shu was carefully memorizing every word he said, saving it for later use to complain. …

Arriving in Xin'an, Ashu was eager to go home. He had not been here for long in the first place, but he still knew the way back. Zhang Biezhi followed him impatiently and finally came to a small door. Ashu restrained his excitement and knocked on the door gently twice.

Zhang Biezhi: “…”

Are you knocking for the mice to hear?

He pushed Ashu away with an unhappy look on his face and slammed the small wooden door that could only accommodate one person. The door panel swayed as if it would collapse in the next moment.

Xiao Rong had originally rented this house from someone else. The price was reasonable, neither high nor low. It had two main rooms, a corner room, and a small courtyard.

Ashu was afraid that he would really cause any damage to the yard, so he quickly squeezed back in. At this moment, the door suddenly opened.

An old lady with gray hair, wrinkled face and a very alert expression stuck her head out.

She didn't look at Ashu, but directly at Zhang Biezhi: "Are you the gangster who knocked on the door just now?"

Zhang Biezhi: “…”

He almost jumped up in anger: "Who are you calling a gangster? I'm a good man who came to pick you up from your relatives!"

Little did he know that when he said this, the old lady became furious and waved her hands quickly: "What?! I am already sixty years old, how can I marry you again? Besides, a good woman should not serve two husbands, no way."

Zhang Biezhi: “…………”

His face was about to turn green with anger. "When did I ever say I wanted you to marry me? You—"

Ah Shu knew at a glance that the old lady was ill again, and it was quite serious. He was afraid that Zhang Biezhi would be impulsive, so he quickly pulled the old lady to look at him: "Old lady, it's me, I'm Ah Shu, do you remember me? Last year, I went on a long journey with the master, and the master said that he would come to pick you and the young master up in the future. Old lady, do you still remember all this?"

The old lady paused in her retreat, raised her head, and looked at Ashu in confusion: "You are... Ashu?"

Ashu's eyes lit up and he nodded repeatedly: "That's right!"

The old lady became excited instantly and was about to burst into tears: "Ah Shu, why did you come back at this time? Your wife didn't wait for you thirty years ago and passed away just like that!"
