happy day

Chapter 49 People under the roof

Mrs. Liu passed out on the spot when she learned that Liu Yushi was convicted and imprisoned.Later, the family was expelled from the Liu Mansion by the officers and soldiers, and Liu Yiru took his mother and sister to settle down in the Tongfu Inn.Mrs. Liu couldn't afford to get sick in anxiety and worry, and her illness was severe, and now she can only stay in bed.

Liu Yiru only dared to secretly tell his elder sister Liu Yihan about his father's death, and the two siblings hugged each other and cried.Now even the father's body cannot be returned, and the funeral is naturally impossible.

The two quietly burned the paper money, because Mrs. Liu was ill, and they were afraid that she would not be able to bear it if she knew about her father, so they didn't dare to tell Mrs. Liu about it, they just wanted to keep it a secret for a while.

Liu Yiru was recommended by his friends in Jianghu to become a boxer in a martial arts gym.The name of the martial arts gym is Changkong Martial Arts. The owner of the gym, Yuan Pengju, is over 50 years old. His palm kung fu skills are very powerful.Now that I am older, I settled down in the capital, found a place to set up a martial arts gym, and taught people Kung Fu.

Master Yuan personally tried Liu Yiru's kung fu. Liu Yiru did not reveal Kunlun's moves, but only responded with his usual fists and kicks. Even so, his solid foundation and quick response made Master Yuan very satisfied, and immediately decided to let him stay.

Martial arts are different from sects, you don't need to learn from a teacher, you can learn it by paying money.The business of Changkong Martial Arts is not good, there are few people who learn boxing, and those who have the ambition to become famous in the Jianghu all go to various martial arts. Some ordinary people want to make their children strong and strong, and secondly, they want to learn some kung fu to make a living in the future.

Originally there were four boxers in the martial arts gym besides the owner Yuan. Last month, two of them left to go to the escort agency. Now including Liu Yiru, there are only three of them. The other two boxers are Sun Changfu, a fat man in his forties. He is good at legwork. The other surnamed Hong is Hong Barong. He is in his thirties and practices the hard qigong of gold bells and iron shirts.

Unexpectedly, within two days of Liu Yiru's arrival, it was as if a pot had been boiled in front of the martial arts hall. Three to forty people came to sign up to learn boxing at once, and even named them to learn from Liu Yiru.These people were so crowded that they couldn't stand in the yard, they punched the faces of the people next to them when they stretched out their fists, and "Ouch" when they kicked their legs.

Pavilion Master Yuan counted the money until his hands were soft, earning a lot of money, and he was so happy that he not only paid Liu Yiru a month's salary in advance, but also rewarded Liu Yiru with an extra five taels of silver.

Several of the newcomers still know a little bit about boxing.Although those people were wearing ordinary short shirts, Liu Yiru looked at them and felt somewhat familiar.

When I looked closely, I found that their faces were all changed, and ordinary people would not notice it, but Liu Yiru could tell it at a glance.Especially the simple and honest man like the black tower, who always lowered his head to avoid his sight, with a guilty conscience.

Liu Yiru remembered him, it was Chen Erniu, the chief guard of Wu Luan's residence.Looking at those people again, it was clearly the guards of Wen Zhonghou's mansion pretending to be them.As for the other people who flocked here, Liu Yiru knew that he might not know how they got here, and it was very possible that they were hired by Wu Luan with a lot of money.

According to Liu Yiru's temperament in the past, he would definitely walk away.He is proud of others and has affection for Wu Luan. Even though he is down and out now, he is unwilling to accept favors from others, especially Wu Luan's favors. This is really more uncomfortable than killing him.

But thinking of the current situation at home, Liu Yiru hesitated.The money the family lived in the inn was borrowed, and the prepaid room fee was almost used up. The owner of the inn had told him twice that he would have to pay back the money at the end of the day, or the family would be kicked out.

Mrs. Liu is ill, needs to see a doctor, needs to buy medicine, and the family needs to eat.Besides, it's not a problem to live in the inn all the time.Three schools and nine streams, people come and go, mother and elder sister are female relatives, and elder sister is beautiful, he would worry about the safety of the mother and daughter every day when he went out, but he couldn't stay in the inn all day.So he told his sister that when he got his salary, he would find a small house with a single family and move out to live in it.

These practical problems forced Liu Yiru to let go of his pride and teach boxing with his eyes closed, pretending he didn't recognize those few people.No matter how arrogant a person is, sometimes he can't be proud because of the pressure of life.

On this day, a carriage stopped on the cold and narrow street in front of Tongfu Inn, and a girl who looked like a fairy got out of the carriage.She was wearing a goose-yellow long dress embroidered with folded magnolia branches. On her head was a hairpin with white jade inlaid with red coral beads and a double-knotted ruyi hairpin. On her right wrist was a string of seven or eight silver bracelets.

Liu Yihan greeted him from the room on the second floor of the inn, "Miss Gu, you are here!"

Yunshang put a pack of herbs into Liu Yihan's hands, "I was late because I was delayed at Xiuzhuang today. Is Auntie feeling better?"

Liu Yihan took the herbal medicine package, "My mother drank the medicine, her cough has improved, and she slept soundly last night. Thank you Miss Gu."

"Why is sister Liu so polite? It seems that she is divided. Chang'er doesn't have a real sister, and she and Liu's sister hit it off right away. Why don't I call you 'Sister Han' and you call me 'Shang'er?" I just don't know if my sister will dislike Chang. Er is just a embroiderer."

Liu Yihan smiled wryly, "How could I despise you? If you hadn't helped my mother these few days, and hired a doctor to see a doctor and get medicine for my mother, my mother would have become even more ill. Just as long as you don't dislike us as the family members of criminal ministers."

Yun Shang smiled like a flower, "That's great, Chang'er has an extra sister."

Liu Yihan grabbed the medicine bag and said shyly: "Shang'er, can I get the money for the medicine on credit with the pharmacy first? My brother went out to raise money, and I can get back the money in half a day."

Yun Shang took Liu Yihan's arm affectionately, "Sister Han, don't worry about the money for the medicine, I'll put it on first. The sweat towels and handkerchiefs you embroider are exquisite and beautiful, and the colors are elegant. They say they are better than the embroiderer. The village is very popular. You can embroider more, and when the settlement is settled in the embroidery village in the middle of the month, I will send you the silver from the sale, and there will be some left over after deducting the medicine money."

Liu Yihan was a little relieved, "Then I'll embroider more, and save Yiru so much trouble. He's used to being loose, but now he's going to be a boxer in a martial arts gym. He hasn't suffered from such humiliation and winks."

The most difficult thing in life is the great change in the family, falling from the clouds to the mud.In the past, no matter how simple the Liu family was, it was still a deep house with a lot of servants.Liu Yihan was brought up according to the standard of a lady, and there were eight women and maids who were close to her.

Now that my father has been convicted, all the family property is confiscated, the servants are gone, and only a few changes of clothes are brought out.The mother and daughter lived in a second-class room in the inn, and there was a small stove in the room to cook porridge and medicine for the mother.

Once Miss Qianjin was down and out, the sudden embarrassment of life made Liu Yihan's previous romantic sorrows and sorrows become distant and blurred. Now, what he thinks about every day is only his mother's body and basic food and clothing.

Thanks to a few days ago, Liu Yihan met Gu Yunshang, an embroiderer from Qixia Embroidery Village, when he was fetching medicine for his mother at the pharmacy. Embroidery from Xiuzhuang?"

Seeing that she was a young and beautiful girl, Liu Yihan lost his defenses, "I didn't come from the embroidery factory, but I embroidered and played by myself in my free time, and the girl laughed."

Yun Chang's face was full of surprise, and she was amazed, "This embroidery skill, this color matching, even the most experienced embroiderer may not be able to embroider it. If my sister is free, can you embroider a few more? I will take it to the embroidery shop." Going to sell it will increase the reputation of our embroidery shop, and my sister can earn some money for incense powder, how about it?"

Life was hard, and his mother was ill again because of his father. Of course Liu Yihan agreed, and stayed up for two nights, embroidered a bunch of sachets, fan pendants, handkerchiefs and other small things and gave them to Yunshang, and the next day cloud Chang said that they were quickly bought by a large family, and Liu Yihan was given two taels of silver back.

Two taels of silver were nothing to the Liu Mansion in the past, but now it is a timely gift.Liu Yihan began to embroider day and night, hoping to exchange some more money for his mother's medical treatment.

At this moment, Liu Yihan thought about these things and sincerely said to Yunshang: "Thanks to Sister Chang'er, that sister is not too polite with you. I happened to make chicken and vegetable porridge, and I will serve you a bowl."

"Shang'er wants to drink the porridge made by Sister Han." The two entered the room arm in arm.Yun Shang greeted Mrs. Liu, and Mrs. Liu also liked this enthusiastic and well-behaved girl. She only said that it was God's blessing that sent a savior to his family when it was most in danger.

Yun Chang looked around the room while drinking porridge.After a few days of contact with the mother and daughter of the Liu family, she became familiar with them, and seeing that the heat was about the same, she said, "Sister Han, this room is cold and the sun is not visible, and the stove in the house is also very smokey, which is not conducive to Aunt Liu's self-cultivation. Besides, fish and dragons are mixed in the inn, people come and go, it is always inconvenient for you mother and daughter."

Liu Yihan boiled the medicine, and brushed the broken hair from his temples behind his ears, "Yi Ru said last night that he has been working for the past few days, and the owner of the martial arts gym is very satisfied with him, and promised to let him pay in advance. Wait. When he got the money, he found a small house and rented it out, which was considered a place to stay."

Yun Shang's big eyes flashed, "My cousin has a house in Jinyu Alley. He said it was vacant, so he wanted to find someone to show him the house. Why don't you move there with your aunt and Mr. Liu. The house will leave the house soon." The embroidery village is close, so it is convenient for us to take care of each other, and secondly, I have also fulfilled my cousin's entrustment, wouldn't it be the best of both worlds."

Liu Yihan hesitated for a moment, "That's fine, but I have to wait for Yiru to come back to discuss it. He said that today the martial arts gym is only open for half a day, so he can have half a day free. Looking at the time, it's almost time to come back."

When Yun Shang heard that Liu Yiru would be arriving in a while, she immediately felt overwhelmed and her face became hot.
