Chapter 252 The Beggar in the Ruined Temple in the West of the City
[Isn’t Mr. Dong’s mother over sixty? Why did she remarry when she had so many children and grandchildren? Hehe, love at dusk! 】
Dong Zhen stumbled with his left foot and fell to the ground with his right foot. The boy following him was frightened and rushed to help him!
Chuan Wen, who heard the sound, looked back and saw Dong Zhen's big ass poking out, and sighed inwardly, "What kind of brain does Mr. Dong have? In order to solve the conflict between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, he actually came up with six tricks." The trick for a teenage mother to remarry is awesome! 】
After finishing the article, he sighed again, "It's fair to say that this is Mr. Dong's fault. He even prepared a dowry for me, and it's all good stuff!" Enough for his wife to spend the rest of her life comfortably! 】
The corner of Dong Zhen's mouth twitched as he was helped up by the boy. He was about to cry without tears. He shouldn't have taken this road today. If he didn't take this road, he would not be able to upload the article. If he didn't take the article, he would not be able to upload the article. His mother remarried. Then they won’t be picked out, woo woo woo!
He was desperately thinking that Wen Xue was the only one who posted the message publicly, but in fact the emperor had placed countless secret guards around the message. Now, everyone knew about the fact that he secretly remarried my mother. , maybe it will even reach the ears of the emperor!
With tears streaming down his face, Dong Zhen held the boy's arm and hobbled home, his back revealing vicissitudes of life and sorrow.
"Is he going home to hang himself?"
Chuan Wen asked Wen Xue on the side in confusion. Wen Xue suppressed her laughter and replied: "Probably not."
Chuanwen ignored Dong Zhen and went to Su's house. When he arrived at Su's house, he met Ergou who had just returned from the court and was called to the palace. His eyes were full of resentment.
Su Heng rubbed Chuanwen's head to comfort him, and Chuanwen greeted the emperor in his heart. Not even the donkeys in the production team could handle him like this!
Su Heng was helpless, but he just came back and had a lot of things to do. It should be better in a few days.
He sighed inwardly. He originally hurried back after going to court because he wanted to go to the west of the city and bring his father back, but now he had no choice but to go to the palace.

There is a ruined temple in the west of the city. There are several beggars living here. One of them, an unkempt man, woke up early because he was hungry.
He hadn't had anything to eat in three days because he was on the road. If he didn't eat something, he felt like he wouldn't survive today.
Just after leaving the temple gate, no one coming and going stopped to give him something to eat. Finally, an old lady took pity on him and wanted to give him a steamed bun, but her son stopped her.
"What's wrong with a big living person who has hands and feet? They are recruiting workers for road construction outside. They take care of food, housing, and paying wages. Many beggars have gone there, but these few lazy people are still begging for food! Mother! Don’t give it to him! This kind of lazy person is like garbage alive, he might as well starve to death!"
The son was filled with righteous indignation, but the unkempt beggar was confused. Was the road construction this man was talking about the kind of road he saw when he entered the city yesterday? But that road looked like a big deal, and it must have been built by the imperial court. But when did the imperial court pay workers for road construction? They recruit people directly from every household to serve.
The beggar grabbed the son and asked him, "Are you really going to pay me?"
"Really give it!" Seeing the beggar's interest, the old lady persuaded her, "My eldest son went there because he was doing manual labor and the wages were high. He could get half a tael from home every month. Where’s the money! No, I brought my youngest son here today just to sign up!”
"Half a tael of silver! That's a lot!" The beggar's eyes gleamed when he heard this, "Can I sign up with you?"
"Of course! There is a shortage of people for road construction right now. There are many people who want to go!"
When the son saw that the beggar was willing to work to support himself, his attitude toward him became much better. However, he frowned. Although basically everyone wanted to go, there were also those who were eliminated. The elderly ones did not want to work, and those who were sick could not work. No need to live!
Seeing that the beggar was as thin as a hemp stalk, he gave him the steamed buns he had just eaten to cushion his stomach so that he would not have the strength to be eliminated later!
After taking the steamed bun, the beggar devoured it. After one of them finished eating, he licked his lips. Well... he was not full!
When the old lady saw this, she stuffed another one into him, and the beggar ate it again and again. It wasn't until he finished the four or five steamed buns and two large cakes in the bag that he burped loudly.
"How many days have you not eaten?"
The old lady clicked her tongue when she saw it. The beggar smiled and said sheepishly: "You can still eat it!"
Uh......
The old lady and her son were speechless.
But I don’t know if he ate too much after not eating for three days. When he signed up, the beggar’s stomach kept growling. After farting several times, he held his stomach and went to the toilet again and again. run.
The people in the room could hardly open their eyes because of him. The person who was examining him saw that his body was not in good shape, and he looked quite young. He was so thin that he didn’t even have a ounce of flesh on his body, and his chest was too thin. The front ribs were clearly visible one by one, which eliminated him. Road construction is all real hard work. If it was done like this, he would be afraid that he would be exhausted after two days of work!
After coming out, the old lady and her son expressed deep regret that the beggar was not selected. The son patted the beggar on the shoulder and comforted him: "Don't be discouraged. Take good care of your health when you go back. Maybe you will be selected again." of!"
The old lady kindly gave him two copper coins.
Looking at the back of the old lady and her son leaving, missing out on a month and a half of silver, the beggar wanted to cry but had no tears. Could it be that he was going to starve to death!
He is not willing to give in! He hasn't passed the imperial examination yet, and he hasn't gone home to see his wife and children! What evil had he done in his previous life?
The capital was bustling, people were coming and going on the streets, and the shops on both sides were bustling, but none of this seemed to have anything to do with him.
The beggar walked in a daze on the busy streets. When he got tired, he would sit down somewhere and put out his broken bowl and beg for food.
Looking back on his life, he was filled with sadness. His family was originally a big family, but it gradually declined. By his father's generation, the family only had dozens of acres of land left. Because they had to support his education, by his generation, even those dozens of acres of land were gone. , living solely on his wife's washing and sewing.
Fortunately, he had achieved some success in his studies, passed the examination as a scholar, and was asked to teach. His family was better off, and he was able to provide for his children to study.
But who would have thought that when he went to Beijing to take the exam, he caught a cold and almost died on the way. When he woke up, he found that he was in Yizhuang, and his fellow villagers were nowhere to be found, so he had to drag his sick body on the road.
well! He has come this far!
Looking up at the sky, the beggar saw two lines of tears streaming down his dirty face. He wondered what happened to his wife and children. Counting the years, his two sons and one daughter must have grown up!
The beggar wiped the tears from his face. Seeing that the sun was setting and the sky was filled with red clouds, he got up and planned to go back to the ruined temple where he stayed to spend the night. He dusted off the dust on his buttocks and headed east.
As he walked, he kept mumbling, "I remember that the ruined temple yesterday was in the west of the city, so I should just go west."
