Chapter 1199 Suffering in the World (2)

?In the twelfth lunar month of winter, it is so cold that people shiver. Tian Lai's Novel 『⒉Brother Xuan poked his head out of the bed and shrank back. It was so cold that he didn't dare to get up.

When Brother Xuan was at home, the earth dragon burned up when the weather was cold, your house is as warm as spring. When going out, it is time to wear warm and light clothes. Unlike here, there are only thick and bulky cotton-padded clothes and trousers to keep out the cold.

Just as he was debating whether to get up or not, he heard a knock on the door outside. Ah San shouted outside: "Master, it's not good, the house has been burglarized."

When Brother Xuan heard this, he didn't care about the cold anymore, so he quickly got up and put on his clothes.

Opening the door, Brother Xuan looked at the anxious Ah San and asked, "What's missing?"

Ah San said: "Mr.'s money is gone, and our carriage is gone!" The three of them lived in a room. As for the father and daughter of Ling'er who were taken in, they were allowed to live in the kitchen under Pang Jinglun's strong request.

Brother Xuan hurriedly went to Pang Jinglun's room and saw him still lying in bed: "Teacher..."

Ah San explained from the side: "All the things in Mr.'s house were stolen." Except for the quilt, all the clothes and packages were gone.

Pang Jinglun's eyes are not eyes, his nose is not his nose, he pointed at Brother Xuan and scolded: "I said that the father and daughter have unknown backgrounds and cannot be kept. You just want to be a good person. Now everything is stolen, and I will eat the northwest wind in the future." gone."

Brother Xuan shook his head and said, "Teacher, I believe that Uncle Geng and Ling'er are not such people. Other thieves must have entered the house and stole our things."

Ah San said, "Master, take good care of Mr., I will go to the yamen to report the case."

Brother Xuan hesitated for a while and said: "You should go to Uncle Geng and Ling'er first, and report to them after you find them!"

Pang Jinglun said: "If they even stole my clothes, who else could they be but this father and daughter who have a grudge against me?" Most thieves would only steal valuable things, so why did they even steal his old cotton clothes and trousers.

"Teacher, Uncle Geng is honest and honest, and Ling'er is so cute and cute. How could he be a thief with evil intentions. Teacher, I know you don't like Uncle Geng and Ling'er, but you can't slander them like this." Anyway, he said What, he doesn't believe that Uncle Geng and Ling'er are thieves.

Pang Jinglun was so angry that he almost spat out a mouthful of old blood. Now he finally understood why the empress wanted to drive Brother Xuan out in such a hurry. To keep such a two-hundred-five-year-old son by his side, he must be sick from anger.

Ah San only listened to Brother Xuan's words, and immediately said, "Master, I'll go look for it right away."

After Ah San left, Pang Jinglun turned to Brother Xuan and said, "Now that all the money has been stolen, I don't even have any clothes to wear. What should I do in the future?"

This is the first time Brother Xuan has encountered such a thing: "We will discuss again when Ah San comes back." The letter to Ah You was only sent two days ago, and it would take a month at the fastest to go back and forth. Now that there is no money, Brother Xuan is also a little worried.

Pang Jinglun held back his breath and said, "I'm hungry, go to the kitchen and get me something to eat."

Hearing brother Xuan said that he doesn't know how to cook, Pang Jinglun said with a dark face: "If you don't want to do it, just take off your clothes and give it to me, and I will do it myself."

"Teacher, you can't wear my clothes!" Although brother Xuan is taller among his peers, he is only a fifteen-year-old child who is not yet fully educated and is a head shorter than Pang Jinglun.

Pang Jinglun was so angry that he got up from the bed: "I know I can't wear it, so I went to cook. Do you want to starve me to death? If it weren't for you, my money and clothes would not be stolen."

Brother Xuan was scolded until his head was bleeding, and finally ran to the kitchen in despair. As a result, as soon as they arrived in the kitchen, everyone was dumbfounded.

Pang Jinglun's eyes widened and he said, "What did you say? There's no more rice and noodles?" To save trouble, they bought a hundred catties of white flour, a hundred catties of polished rice, and two bags of brown rice. It was also because of their generous behavior that they caught the eyes of those who cared.

Brother Xuan said with a bitter face: "I don't even have the meat and Chinese cabbage I bought." The thief emptied the kitchen.

After hearing this, Pang Jinglun glanced at Brother Xuan,

Then passed out.

Seeing this scene, Brother Xuan turned pale with fright: "Teacher? Teacher?"

After calling for a long time and seeing that Pang Jinglun didn't move at all, Brother Xuan hurried out and begged the neighbor to call for a doctor.

When Ah San came back, she saw a doctor coming out of the house with a medicine box on his back.

Brother Xuan was about to cry while holding the prescription. All the money was stolen by the thieves, where did you get the money to buy the medicine: "Ah San, what should we do now? Mister's illness can't be delayed, but we don't have any money now?"

Ah San was silent for a while and said, "Master, shall I pawn the knife to fetch medicine for sir?"

Brother Xuan refused without even thinking about it: "Without the knife, what should I do if I encounter bad guys in the future?"

"But sir's illness cannot be delayed!"

Taking off the agarwood bracelet on his wrist, Brother Xuan handed it to Ah San and said, "You can pawn it!" This bracelet was given to him by Yuxi on his tenth birthday, and there is a translucent color embedded in the middle. tourmaline. When I came out, I took off all the accessories and only wore agarwood bracelets.

Ah San took the bracelet, took the prescription and went out.

Seeing Brother Xuan came back again, Pang Jinglun asked: "I have reported to the official, what do the people in the government say?" Now that the government is clear and bright, the officials are more dedicated. Report to the government, don't worry about the people in the government.

Brother Xuan was stunned for a moment, he was so anxious to ask Ah San to grab the medicine just now that he forgot to ask about the thief: "We'll talk about it when Ah San comes back."

Pang Jinglun almost lost his temper: "I'm so hungry, can you make me some porridge to drink?" It's almost noon and he hasn't eaten yet! I haven't been hungry for many years, and this time when I return to Beijing, I must ask the empress to make up for him.

Brother Xuan was a little at a loss: "Teacher, there is nothing to eat in the kitchen. Those two bags of brown rice were also stolen by thieves."

Fortunately, after reading so many books, you have no brains? Pang Jinglun suppressed the anger in his heart, pretended to be weak and said: "If you don't have rice, why don't you go to the next door to borrow some?"

Brother Xuan opened his mouth wide: "Borrow rice?"

"Don't borrow rice, do you want to starve me to death? If you didn't insist on taking in those two unknown people, how could we not even be able to eat?" I used to think that Brother Xuan was smart and hardworking. All aspects are pretty good. But now he discovered that this child can do nothing but study. True to that sentence, you are a scholar who is useless. If it wasn't for being cast in a womb, I'm afraid eating would be a problem.

Brother Xuan didn't want to borrow rice, it's too embarrassing: "Teacher, I'll ask Ah San to buy rice when he comes back." I've heard of borrowing books, but I haven't heard of borrowing rice.

"Get out of here quickly, I don't want to see you." He was afraid that he would lose control of his temper if he saw Brother Xuan again. Fifteen years old, this is going to support the door of ordinary people. But brother Xuan, cough, he didn't even want to say it.

Brother Xuan walked out of the yard and stood at the door for a long time, but finally couldn't muster up the courage to go to the neighbor's house to borrow rice. Finally, turn around and come back.

At noon, Ah San came back after grabbing the medicine. At this time, Pang Jinglun was so hungry that his eyes were blind.

As soon as he took the two buns that Ah San handed over, he saw Brother Xuan walking in from the outside.

Busily hiding the steamed stuffed bun under the bed, Pang Jinglun looked at Brother Xuan with a bad expression and said, "Ah San wants to make medicine, you go and help." If you don't push Brother Xuan away, how can you eat the steamed stuffed bun.

Brother Xuan felt ashamed, nodded and said: "Okay."

After eating two steamed cabbage buns, Pang Jinglun rubbed his stomach, and finally he didn't feel uncomfortable. The taste of being hungry is really uncomfortable!

After entering the kitchen, Brother Xuan asked, "Ah San, how much did you pawn the bracelet?"

Hearing that he had only pawned twenty taels of silver, Brother Xuan's face changed: "This is a hundred-year-old agarwood, and each bead is carved with exquisite patterns. You can't buy it without a hundred taels of silver."

Ah San poured the medicine into the medicine bowl, and said, "The pawn shop offers five taels of silver for offerings, and I talked to him for a long time before we got to twenty taels of silver."

Brother Xuan's face was very dark: "I heard Ah You said that the pawnshop is very dark before, but I didn't expect it to be so dark." There was no discount, so I gave 20% directly.

After the fire was made, the medicine bowl was put on it, and then Ah San took out the brown rice he bought and prepared to cook: "Master, it cost six taels of silver to gather the medicine. The money needs to be saved, so I only bought brown rice." Brown rice is cheap, and ordinary people eat brown rice on weekdays, and rice fine noodles are only sold during festivals.

Brother Xuan doesn't like to eat brown rice, it feels like his throat is coughing up. But now I have no money, and I can't pay attention to it: "By the way, Ah San, what do you say when you report to the police?"

Ah San was silent for a while and said: "People from the government said that there is no place called Xiatian Village in Chengxi Town. Young Master, we were deceived."

Brother Xuan was stunned: "How could it be? Uncle Geng looks so simple and honest, and Ling'er is also straightforward and cute. How could they be liars?"

Ah San comforted, "Master, you are just too kind." In fact, these two people have many flaws, but it's a pity that His Highness the Third Highness is too simple, seeing these two people pretending to be pitiful, she sympathizes with them. Even if their identities are not verified, they will be brought home, not afraid that these people will kill themselves for money.

Brother Xuan lowered his head and didn't speak.

Considering that Brother Xuan hasn't eaten yet, the rice is cooked relatively thinly. Ah San filled a bowl of rice and handed it to Brother Xuan. Seeing that Brother Xuan didn't answer, Ah San said, "Master, I can't stand without food."

Brother Xuan still didn't answer, and said: "You serve it to the teacher, I'll watch the fire here." He has no appetite at all.

Two steamed buns are only enough to fill the stomach, but not enough to fill the stomach. After receiving the meal, Pang Jinglun asked while eating: "What happened last night? You really let them ransack our house."

"Do all the acting." It was because they knew that Brother Xuan and Ah San had nothing of value, so they didn't pry open their rooms. If they dared to pry Brother Xuan's door, Ah San would definitely not let them go.

Pang Jinglun asked: "Did they move something? Otherwise, it's impossible for me to not know about such a big movement?"

"Well, I blew misty smoke into your room." Every move of the two of them last night was under Ah San's surveillance.

"You also let them enter the house without stopping them, what if they want my life?" He has made things difficult for these two these days.

Ah San looked: "Don't worry, if they dare to kill you, I will let their heads fall first."

Only then was Pang Jinglun satisfied, but he quickly asked again: "Don't tell me you really don't have any money in your hand? I can't stand the trouble at my age." Frozen and hungry.

"I brought fifty taels of gold."

Hearing this, Pang Jinglun was finally relieved.
