Chapter 1202 Suffering in the World (5)

?Get up in the morning, brother Xuan get dressed and go out. (Mian, Huatang Xiaoshuo) When I opened the door, I saw heavy snow falling in the sky, and a thick layer of snow had already covered the yard.

The cold wind came in through the crack of the door, and Pang Jinglun shivered and said, "Close the door quickly." If the cold wind blows on his body twice, he will really catch a cold.

Brother Xuan hurriedly closed the door: "Teacher, the ten loads of firewood bought yesterday must not be enough. I'll go and see if there is any firewood for sale." Cooking doesn't require much firewood, but the kang is very expensive.

Pang Jinglun nodded and said: "In addition to firewood and charcoal, I also bought some chicken, duck, fish, rice and noodles. Today is twenty-seven, if you don't buy any more, you won't be able to buy any more." Everyone will celebrate the New Year, and there will be a market in two days. There's no one left.

Brother Xuan hesitated: "That's a lot of money!" The feeling of being hungry is really uncomfortable, and he really doesn't want to experience it again. Therefore, he doesn't want to buy chicken, duck and fish, which are very expensive.

Pang Jinglun paused, and then said: "It's okay, I'm pretty well cured of this illness. After the Chinese New Year, let's find ways to make money together."

Ah San interjected: "My leg will recover after another half a month. At that time, I will be able to work and earn money."

Brother Xuan hesitated for a moment, then nodded in agreement.

The cold wind blows on the cheek, which hurts and hurts. And the bitter air has been pouring into the clothes desperately. Brother Xuan couldn't help wrapping his clothes tightly.

When I arrived at the place where I bought firewood yesterday, I was a little disappointed to see no one there. But it's normal to think about it. In this cold day, unless the pot can't be opened at home, who will come out to sell firewood.

Turning around to leave, he was stopped before taking a few steps. Turning around, I saw a man in his twenties. This man was carrying a load of firewood on his shoulders.

The man approached Brother Xuan and asked, "Brother, do you want to buy firewood?"

Brother Xuan nodded and said: "I want to buy firewood, and the more the better, I wonder if you still have firewood at home?"

The man nodded hurriedly: "There are some, I don't know how much I want?"

Brother Xuan calculated the amount of firewood he needed every day, and then said, "A hundred tans, do you have any?"

"Yes, yes." After finishing speaking, the man rubbed his hands and said, "Brother, do you see the price?"

"Five Wen a load, do you think it's good?" The firewood he bought yesterday was five Wen a load. This kind of firewood usually only costs two to three cash per load, but it has increased a lot because of the cold weather. However, he bought a relatively large quantity, so it should be cheaper normally. But seeing that the man's face and ears were frostbitten, and his hands were cracked, he couldn't bear it, so he didn't bargain.

The man was very pleasantly surprised: "Okay, okay, okay. I don't know where my little brother lives. I'll identify the door first, and I'll go and bring the firewood later."

Brother Xuan took him home.

The man put down the firewood and left in a hurry without even asking for money.

Pang Jinglun heard five cents a load of firewood, and said, "Why don't you bargain?"

Brother Xuan said: "It must be very difficult for the family to come out to sell firewood in such a cold weather." This is also the reason why he did not lower the price.

Ah San sighed, "It's not easy!"

Glancing at Ah San, Pang Jinglun took five qian and came out: "When someone comes, you will hand it over to him."

Brother Xuan hesitated for a while and said: "When the meeting comes, we will give him a hundred coins first, and the rest will be given when all the firewood is delivered!" They live here and can't run away. On the contrary, if the man took the money and didn't bring firewood, he didn't know where to find it.

It is good to be able to learn a lesson if you eat a pit and gain a wisdom. Presumably it was because the emperor and the empress protected him so well that he didn't know the sinister heart, so he was so innocent.

Ah San said: "Master, my husband and I are here at home, you can go shopping for other things!"

After buying all the things for the Chinese New Year, Brother Xuan found that half of the money had been removed: "This money is really worth it."

Pang Jinglun said with a smile: "If you are not in charge of the family, you don't know that firewood, rice, oil and salt are expensive. Now you know that life is not easy, right?"

Ah San heard this,

Deliberately said: "Master, I am useless and made you suffer. If the empress finds out, she will definitely feel distressed to death."

Hearing this, Brother Xuan's eyes turned red. When he was at home, his mother prepared everything for food and clothing, and he never had to worry about it. Unlike now, you have to run around for a living.

Pang Jinglun changed the subject: "Just now, Ah San made soup from the two bones you brought back yesterday. Go and drink a bowl to warm your body." Ah San's injury is actually not serious, and he can get out of bed early. Just to let Brother Xuan know that life is not easy, so that he will stop being a bad person in the future, so he just lay on the bed and didn't move. Now that brother Xuan has grown up, I will share some housework with him.

At this moment, a cry came from outside: "Brother, brother, open the door, I'll bring you firewood."

After opening the door, Brother Xuan saw three men standing outside, each carrying two heavy loads of firewood.

The man who bought firewood first was named Dahe, he said to Brother Xuan, "This is my two younger brothers, Erhe and Sanhe."

Brother Xuan asked the three to put the firewood in the firewood room, looked at the sweat on the three's foreheads, thought for a while and said, "Follow me."

Bringing the three of them into the kitchen, Brother Xuan scooped up a bowl of bone soup for each of them: "It's not easy to travel in cold weather, drink some hot soup to warm your body."

The three of them drank the soup gratefully, thanked each other a thousand times and rushed home. If you go home early, you can also send more firewood.

Pang Jinglun lost his appetite when he thought about Brother Xuan's cooking, "Asa, you can cook the lunch!" Brother Xuan's cooking was really unpalatable. It’s okay to boil it in water, either too much salt or too little salt. A few days ago, I had no choice but to force myself to swallow. Now that Ah San can go to the field, it's better to let him cook.

Brother Xuan hurriedly refused: "I'd better go cook! Ah San's legs are not sharp yet, so it's not suitable to stand for a long time."

Ah San smiled innocently: "Master, you cut up the vegetables, and I'll fry them." In this way, you don't have to stand for a long time.

Because money is relatively tight, three meals are also relatively economical. At noon, there is only one dish and one soup, which are fried pork with cabbage and radish bone soup.

Not to mention Pang Jinglun, even Brother Xuan had to eat two bowls of rice before putting down his chopsticks.

It was getting dark, after the three brothers put down the firewood, Sanhe said: "Brother, we will send the remaining firewood tomorrow, do you think this is feasible?"

"Yes." After finishing speaking, Brother Xuan gave the money for the firewood to Sanhe: "This is one hundred Wen. I will give the rest after you have finished delivering the firewood."

Da He took the money and said gratefully, "Thank you, little brother."

Sanhe said happily from the side: "Mother has always wanted to eat dumplings. Tomorrow we will buy some white flour and meat and go back to make dumplings." Their family is poor, let alone dumplings, and they can't get enough to eat on weekdays. Otherwise, they wouldn't be selling firewood in such a cold day.

When Pang Jinglun saw Brother Xuan going out for a trip, his mood suddenly became depressed, and he asked a little strangely: "What's the matter?"

Brother Xuan said with red eyes: "I miss my mother." When he was kicked out of Beijing, he felt resentful. But now, he misses Yuxi terribly, and misses the days at home.

"What? Don't blame your mother for breaking up you and the girl from the Zhong family?" When he left Beijing, Pang Jinglun knew something was wrong, but he didn't know what it was. A few days ago, Ah San told him the reason.

Brother Xuan froze all at once.

Pang Jinglun said: "Why don't you think about it, why did your mother insist on letting you divorce the girl from the Zhong family?"

Brother Xuan lowered his head: "Because the Zhong family committed a crime."

"Is it really just that the Zhong family committed a crime, and the empress retired?" Seeing Brother Xuan looking at him, Pang Jinglun said: "Take a step back, even if it's just for this reason, the empress is not wrong."

Brother Xuan smiled wryly and said, "But once the engagement is withdrawn, the daughter of the Zhong family will have no way of life."

Pang Jinglun said: "Just because you feel sorry for the daughter of Zhong's family, you have to put yourself in it for the rest of your life. When you made this decision, did you consider the feelings of the emperor and the empress? They gave birth to you and raised you, but you ended up paying for a How sad and disappointed they must be if the woman is going to die or live."

"I..." He couldn't say a single word of rebuttal. Because at that time, he was indeed forced to die.

Pang Jinglun said: "I won't say much, just think about it! But you have to remember that the people who love you the most in this world are always the parents who gave birth to you and raised you. No matter what they do, it is for you it is good."

"Is it for my own good to drive me out of the capital?"

Pang Jinglun asked rhetorically: "Without me and Ah San, do you think you can survive alone?" With such a temperament of two hundred and five, it is guaranteed that the bones will be swallowed.

Seeing that brother Xuan was silent, Pang Jinglun said again: "The three men just now sold the firewood and got money, so they wanted to buy meat and noodles and go home to make dumplings for her mother. Then think about it, you grow up so big, why are you so big? What did the old lady do?"

Brother Xuan lowered his head in shame, he didn't do anything for Yunqing and Yuxi.

Pang Jinglun wanted to say more, but Ah San shook his head at him. It's too late, the Third Highness has to slow down his temper.

Also in the evening of this day, Brother You said to Yu Xi: "Mother, I've been dreaming for the past few days. I dreamed that my third brother didn't have enough to eat or wear warm clothes, and he was bullied."

Yu Xi smiled and said, "How can Mr. Pang let Ah Xuan's people freeze and starve. As for being bullied, it's even more impossible. Ah San is not just a show."

"But I also dreamed that my third brother was crying under the covers, crying very sadly. He also said that he wanted to go home." He also had such dreams one after another, which made Brother Yu feel lingering fear.

Qi Hao said: "Think about it every day and think about it at night, you are too worried about Ah Xuan."

Brother Yu also thought about it: "Mother, when will the third brother come back? He doesn't understand anything, let him go home early!" Outside, there is no home.

Yuxi smiled and said: "I don't know when I will come back. However, Qihao will definitely come back before his wedding."
