Chapter 1198 Suffering in the World (1)

?The cold wind was blowing in bursts, and the leaves on the trees were rolled up and flying all over the sky. (beautiful cotton candy

Brother Xuan shivered from the cold wind, and said to Pang Jinglun: "Teacher, we don't hurry on such a cold day, let's find a place to live!"

Pang Jinglun smiled and said: "It's not too cold now, let's find a place to settle down after it snows!"

Seeing Brother Xuan's disapproval, Pang Jinglun explained: "The road is very slippery in the first month, and we can't catch up. Then we have to wait until February next year. If we calculate this way, we will be in Sichuan in May and June." Brother Xuan is on the road like this, afraid of the cold in winter and hot in summer, so he won't be able to reach Sichuan for a year.

"Anyway, I'm not in a hurry. It doesn't matter when I arrive in Shu." It was a pain to rush on such a cold day.

Pang Jinglun said helplessly: "But we only have more than 70 taels of silver left on us. I'm afraid this amount of money won't last for such a long time." The three people in Datongpu only cost thirty or forty Wen a night. But the Datong shop was poorly lit and the room was very humid and it was impossible to take a bath. Brother Xuan couldn't live without it and insisted on a first-class room. In the end, I asked for two upper-class rooms and ordered a table of delicious dishes, which cost five taels of silver in total. Although I will save money in the future, Brother Xuan is used to being extravagant, and now there are only seventy taels of silver left.

Brother Xuan said: "You don't have to worry about money. When I have a fixed place to live, I'll write to Ah You and ask him to send me some money."

Pang Jinglun hesitated.

"Don't worry, Ah You will definitely send someone to deliver the money after receiving my letter." He still has this confidence.

Pang Jinglun looked at Ah San, and asked: "What do you say?" This time when she came out, the empress didn't even prepare money for the third prince. Pang Jinglun didn't think that the fourth prince would send someone to send money after receiving the letter.

Ah San said, "I'll listen to the young master." From the time he came out of the capital to now, no matter what decision Brother Xuan makes, Ah San always supports it.

Suspiciously glanced at Ah San, seeing that he still looked naive, Pang Jinglun had no choice but to say: "Okay! Then we will live in the next county." I don't know what the empress is selling in this gourd. medicine.

After another five days of driving, the three of them arrived at a county called Shiyang. Seeing that brother Xuan wanted to stay in the hotel again, Pang Jinglun hurriedly stopped him. If they wanted to stay in the hotel, they would have to spend all their money within the first month.

Pang Jinglun said: "Your Highness, we don't stay for a day or two, we have to stay for more than two months. If we live in a hotel, even an ordinary room will cost three to forty taels of silver after two months."

Brother Xuan was a little puzzled, and asked: "If you don't live in a hotel, where will you stay? Are you going to stay at someone else's house? But we've been staying for such a long time, and besides, Chinese New Year is coming soon, so it's not good to stay at someone else's house?" They can't find an inn every night when they are on their way, and sometimes they stay at the farmhouse.

"If you don't stay overnight, we will just rent a room. After more than two months, it is only two or three taels of silver." When going out, everything is kept simple.

After hearing this, Brother Xuan hurriedly said: "Teacher, we don't know how to cook. Rent a house, who cooks?" If you stay in an inn, you only need to tell the shopkeeper, and there will be ready-made meals and hot water delivered.

Pang Jinglun said with a smile: "You can hire a woman to cook, and one tael a month is enough."

In the end, Brother Xuan followed Pang Jinglun's words, rented a house and hired someone to cook.

When it was time to rent a house, Brother Xuan didn't want to rent a house. It's too crowded for three people to live in one room. In the end, the three rented a small yard. This yard costs two and a half taels of silver a month. The lease term is three months, and the rent is paid in one lump sum.

In a small yard, there are only three houses, a firewood kitchen, and a hut. However, the daily furniture needed in this yard is available, and the kitchen utensils are also ready-made. Just buy things like quilts and rice noodles.

After seeing the house, Brother Xuan said: "Two taels a month, it's not expensive." In the inns in the state capital before, a room cost one tael a night.

Pang Jinglun almost vomited blood: "Ada,

If you only rent one room, you only need two taels of silver for three months. "It cost nearly eight taels of silver just to rent a house, and now he has less than sixty taels of silver left in his hand.

"Teacher, I'll return the money to you after Ah You brings the silver over." Not to mention the bonuses received from brother Yu, but only that he himself has thousands of taels of silver in his hand. It's just that he thought Yuxi would be ready to make money, so he didn't take the money.

Pang Jinglun opened his mouth, but seeing Ah San standing next to Brother Xuan, he swallowed back the words.

After renting the house, the three of them went to the street market to buy necessities such as quilts and towels. After that, the three of them bought another set of winter clothes. Finally, I went to buy rice noodles, vegetables, oil and salt.

After returning home, Pang Jinglun said to Brother Xuan: "I only have twenty-eight taels of silver left in my hand, so I need to save some money."

Brother Xuan was a little surprised: "We actually spent thirty taels of silver today?"

"This money can't help being spent. Therefore, I plan not to hire a cook, and we will cook and eat by ourselves." Hiring a cook, in addition to paying wages, also includes three meals, the cost is too high.

Brother Xuan objected, but this time Pang Jinglun didn't listen to him, and resolutely refused to hire a cook. The money is in Pang Jinglun's hands, so naturally he has the final say.

On the second day after settling down, Brother Xuan said to Pang Jinglun: "Teacher, let's go outside and have a look!" Since he came to Yunyou, he naturally wanted to understand the local folk customs. By the way, inquire about the more famous scenic spots here, as long as they are not far away, I will go and see them in two days.

Pang Jinglun didn't want to move at all now: "You guys go, I'll stay at home and take care of the house." After driving for more than a month, he is also very tired, and he needs to take a good rest these days. He is also getting older. I think he used to travel abroad. If he didn’t have money to take a car, he would have to walk. One time he walked for more than two months. Those feet were bleeding all over.

After eating the gnocchi, Pang Jinglun basked in the sun in the yard for a while and then went back to sleep. When he woke up, he found that there were two more people in the family. These two people, one is a middle-aged man who is about forty years old and has a lame leg, and the other is a thirteen or fourteen-year-old girl. The two of them were still wearing single clothes in this cold weather, and they were shivering even standing in the room.

Pang Jinglun pointed at the two with a dark face and asked, "Ada, who are they?"

Brother Xuan said: "Teacher, their father and daughter fainted on the road from hunger. I looked at it poorly, so I brought them back."

"and then?"

Brother Xuan saw that Pang Jinglun was unhappy, and said, "Teacher, saving someone's life is better than building a seven-level pagoda. If we don't help them, they will freeze to death."

"We are not running a charity hall. They have no food or clothes, so they should go to the government." After a pause, Pang Jinglun looked at the father and daughter and said, "You go!" Now it's not the previous dynasty, the government The taxes collected are not high, and most of the corvee is exempted, and there are no exorbitant miscellaneous taxes. As long as you are willing to do things, you will not starve to death.

The little girl knelt down on the ground with a plop, crying and said: "Master, please don't drive us away. Master, my father and I don't eat free food. We can work, we can do laundry, cook, chop firewood and burn kang. .My lord, please keep us!"

Pang Jinglun looked at the little girl crying like pear blossoms and rain, and was unmoved: "You guys go away, we don't have money to hire someone."

Brother Xuan said: "Teacher, Ling'er's house collapsed, her mother was crushed to death, and her father's leg was also broken. The father and daughter are desperate. Teacher, let's leave them alone." If we drive them away, they won't be able to survive in such a cold day."

Pang Jinglun looked at Brother Xuan expressionlessly and said, "They can go to the dental clinic and ask them to introduce something."

The crippled man said with red eyes: "They said that I was disabled and couldn't work, so they only accepted Ling'er. Let Ling'er go to another house to work alone, so I don't worry about it." At this point, the man burst into tears.

When Pang Jinglun heard such a tragic experience, he didn't feel compassion, and still wanted to drive the father and daughter away.

Brother Xuan couldn't believe what he saw: "Teacher, how can you be so cold-blooded?"

When Pang Jinglun heard this, he was so angry that he almost didn't bring it up.

Ah San, who had always regarded herself as the background, said upon seeing this, "Sir, as the young master said, saving a life is better than building a seven-level pagoda. Sir, let them stay!"

Pang Jinglun glanced at Ah San, and saw that he was still so simple-minded, and that strange feeling came to his mind again.

After a while, Pang Jinglun sighed and said, "Forget it, since you want to stay, let them stay!"

Ling'er was very happy, and kowtowed to Pang Jinglun: "Thank you, master, thank you, master."

Pang Jinglun snorted coldly and said, "Didn't you say you can cook? I just happened to be hungry, so go to the kitchen and cook!"

After the father and daughter entered the kitchen, Brother Xuan went back to his room. Then Pang Jinglun said to Ah San, "Come with me."

After closing the door, Pang Jinglun asked Ah San in a low voice: "These two people obviously have problems, why did you keep them?"

Although Ah San hasn't shown anything out of the ordinary for more than a month. It may be sent by the queen to protect the third prince, but it is definitely not an ordinary person.

Ah San said softly: "Madam asked the young master to come out to let him know the sinister heart and experience the sufferings of the world." Along the way, although he was not as comfortable as following in the palace, the third prince did not suffer much.

Hearing this, Pang Jinglun hurriedly asked: "Then have you brought any money? At my age, I can't stand the cold or the hunger!" In the past, a small cold and a bowl of ginger soup would solve the problem. Yes, now it will take ten and a half months to recover.

Ah San said: "Uncle Pang's transfer order has been issued, and he has been released as the county magistrate of the whole county of Yongzhou." Pang Jinglun's eldest son is a scholar, and he failed to pass the examination for more than ten years. Pang Jinglun found someone and found him an errand in the Taichang family, and now he is Zan Lilang of the ninth rank. And the county magistrate is from the seventh grade, and it is really lacking.

Pang Jinglun understood right away, and said, "I know what to do." It seems that this time he will suffer with the third prince. Cough, for the sake of my son, I can only grit my teeth and endure it.
