Chapter 11 Temporary Relief

The ancient county town was also divided into residential area and commercial area. The place where Lu Siyu took his uncle and uncle to the residential area was the residential area. He was going to the commercial area, so he had to go back the same way. When he immediately reached the entrance of the alley, he heard a burst of scolding .

"Master, I'm going to freeze to death, you said you don't want charcoal, do you have any brains, do you have any brains!" The sound of scolding came from the yard, right at the back door.

"Hey, young master, don't hit me, don't hit me, I was wrong."

"Where is the mistake? Ah? Tell me?" The owner of the voice is probably only eighteen or nineteen years old. Although he has passed the voice change period, it is still easy for people to perceive his real age with Feiyang's feeling.

"I'm sorry, young master, I should ask for charcoal. They left not long ago, so I'll go find someone right away." The boy said quickly, and then opened the back of the door.

Lu Siyu originally wanted to leave quietly after listening to a few words, but he didn't expect that the other party opened the door directly, and his eyes met for a moment.

"Ah!!!! You are the charcoal seller, young master, I have found the charcoal seller." The servant rushed over quickly and grabbed Lu Siyu's arm, dragging him inside .

Lu Siyu frowned, thinking about what kind of family this was, and what would happen if he offended her.

Just as he was thinking this way, there was a sudden coughing sound from inside.

"Ahem," the man walked to the door, looked at the two of them with a cold face, "wealthy, don't be unreasonable."

Lu Siyu looked up, and he could see the young master's appearance clearly. He looked about seventeen or eighteen. He was wearing a moon-white robe with green bamboo embroidered on it. Judging from the quality of the clothes, it should be It was made of silk, and with just one glance, he knew that the clothes were expensive.

Looking at this person's appearance again, he has delicate features, but just looking at his appearance at this time, he is refined and somewhat indifferent, as if he is superior, and makes people feel that this person is trustworthy.

The premise is that...you didn't hear the conversation just now.

Fugui let go of Lu Siyu's hand after hearing the young master's words, and still couldn't help muttering: "Master, this person just knocked on the door to sell charcoal, by the way, where is the charcoal? Didn't you just pull a cart of charcoal? "

The corners of Lu Siyu's mouth twitched slightly. I didn't know who slammed the door shut just now, but now it's fine, and it's still exciting.

Thinking so in his heart, but his face remained calm, and he whispered: "Sorry, it's sold out."

"Ah? Sold out?" Fugui couldn't help showing bitterness on his face, looking at his young master, "Master, it's really not my fault, I didn't mean it."

The young master just frowned slightly, but looked at Lu Siyu seriously: "This... must have been educated, and I'm under Zhuang Jinhan, not only this brother, what's his name?"

Lu Siyu looked at him seriously, although he had heard his words of reprimanding his subordinates before, but just now, this person does not seem to be a villain. Thinking of the other party's situation, he quickly said: "I'm going to Lu Siyu, although there is no more charcoal right now. , but my uncle and uncle will send some charcoal over in the afternoon."

"That's fine. I think you're younger than me. Why don't I call you Brother Yu? Has Brother Yu's uncle returned home yet? It's almost noon, why don't we have a meal together?" Zhuang Jinhan Unexpected enthusiasm, completely different from his cold appearance when he first came out.

Sure enough, it was all fake just now, Lu Siyu secretly complained.

But why does Yudi sound so weird, Yudi Yudi, Jade Emperor?But if you change another word, Brother Lu...Lu Lu...will be even more strange.

"Eat this..."

"There's nothing to hesitate, come in quickly." Zhuang Jinhan hurriedly pulled Lu Siyu in, "I've been here for so long, and it's just because you like it, it's really fate."

Don't you see my charcoal pleasing to the eye?Lu Siyu was helpless, he never expected that there would be such a familiar and enthusiastic person in ancient times.

The dealer didn't know what was going on, but after Lu Siyu entered, he realized that the place was really quiet, but there were not many servants, except for the servant named Fugui before, there were two servants who were busy in the kitchen, and Two people in their forties, who should be in charge here, look like husband and wife.

Other than that, there was no one else, nor did I see Zhuang Jinhan's parents.

Zhuang Jinhan pulled Lu Siyu straight to his study, and yelled as soon as he entered the door: "Oh, the weather is really freezing to death, but fortunately Brother Yu sent charcoal here in time, this is charcoal in the snow, it is too timely .”

Lu Siyu was silent for a moment: "The charcoal is sold for money."

This person doesn't think he doesn't have to pay for a few words, does he?

Unexpectedly, Zhuang Jinhan glanced at him: "Do I seem to be someone who doesn't pay? I'm...forget it, you don't understand, let me tell you, since I was a child, I have never bought anything without paying. When it comes to money, although the two of us have a very good relationship now, business belongs to business, which must not be confused."

Lu Siyu breathed a sigh of relief, but turned around again, but still wanted to complain, when did the relationship between the two of them get better, didn't they just see each other...

"It's not that I don't trust Brother Zhuang, it's just that those charcoals belong to the folks. If you don't sell them for money, life will be difficult." Lu Siyu quickly made an excuse for himself, otherwise it would seem that he was greedy for money.

"I know, I know, it's right to earn a little money to support the family. It's really difficult now, especially this year's snow is really heavy, and the next thing is still somewhat troublesome," Zhuang Jinhan sighed, not knowing what he thought what.

As an outsider, Lu Siyu didn't want to ask too many questions, so he just sat in his seat and looked around quietly.

There are a lot of books in the study room, one by one is neatly arranged, and there are also a lot of books on the desk, some of which have been read and are spread out there, and some of which have not been read, and are neatly stacked.

The room was cleaned cleanly, it can be seen that the owner of the study still cares about this study.

But he only looked at it for a while, and didn't look at it again. He just calmed down, and still felt that Zhuang Jinhan was a bit strange. How could anyone lead him to the study as soon as they met?Shouldn't it be in the lobby?

"Master, Master, Aunt Zhao said it's time to eat, can I prepare two sets of bowls and chopsticks today?" Fugui ran over and said with a smile.

"Okay, I'm finally not eating alone today." Zhuang Jinhan said with a smile, putting one hand on Lu Siyu's shoulder, "Let's go, Brother Yu, let's go eat."

Lu Siyu had lost his temper with Zhuang Jinhan's familiarity, so he had no choice but to let him rest on his shoulders.

He had no choice but to walk to the lobby. He finally knew why Zhuang Jinhan took him to the study. The study room was small and airtight on all sides. Although it was cold, it was acceptable, but the lobby was ventilated on three sides. all cold.

At this time, four dishes, two bowls of rice, and two pairs of chopsticks were placed on the table.

The four dishes are three dishes and one soup, one meat dish and two vegetarian dishes. It is very simple and not particularly rich.

Lu Siyu was still a little curious about where Zhuang Jinhan's parents had gone, but he was relatively new to Zhuang Jinhan, so he was embarrassed to ask, but since the rich man was called the young master before, then Zhuang Jinhan's parents must still be there, not like himself Both parents died.

Lu Siyu was very silent while eating, he didn't know Zhuang Jinhan well, so he wouldn't say much, besides, he was only here to sell charcoal, and his relationship with Zhuang Jinhan was at most a business relationship, so there was no need to get too close.

After time travel, Lu Siyu has always believed that the relationship between time and time must be grasped. This is ancient times, and class levels are clearly compared. If you accidentally offend someone, there is really nowhere to cry.

"Brother Yu is from the surrounding village?" Zhuang Jinhan asked suddenly.

"Well," Lu Siyu nodded, "people from Lujia Village."

"Oh, I know about Lujia Village, how about the snow disaster in Lujia Village, can you tell me about it?" Zhuang Jinhan seemed a little curious.

Lu Siyu looked at him and didn't understand why he was curious. He just said, "It's okay, but there were a few avalanches when the snow was heavy before, which caused some losses. The specific impact is not very big." Lu's father and Lu's mother died in He didn't need to tell a stranger about the avalanche.

"So that's how it is," Zhuang Jinhan frowned, "How does brother Yu think we should deal with it now?" Seeing that Lu Siyu was a little curious, he quickly said, "I'm reading, and the book talks about some serious situations after the snow disaster, Brother Yu It's not that I have read books, I just want to communicate with Brother Yu."

Lu Siyu suddenly realized that he knew that the later the imperial examination, the more he needed to know, and he could not cope with it by rote memorization.

"Actually, this snow is not big or small. In the north, there is such a heavy snow almost every year, but the south rarely encounters heavy snow, so everyone can't deal with it in time," Lu Siyu tried hard to search for the memory in his memory. Things, and talked with Zhuang Jinhan, "The current situation is better in the villages, because many villages will have enough charcoal, even in this cold weather, they can handle it, but the towns and counties, Some people may feel sad if they don’t have enough charcoal, especially those whose families are relatively poor.”

"Indeed, although the life in the county is good, there are also some beggars, and some poorly clothed and desolate families."

"Yes, to be honest, the snow is not cold and the snow is cold. I wonder if Brother Zhuang thinks that today's weather is colder than the previous two days?" Lu Siyu asked.

"That's right, that's right, let me just say why it's been so cold these two days, so what do you think those poor people should do?" Zhuang Jinhan asked suddenly.

"We can't do anything about this kind of thing. After all, we are just individuals. But if the county can organize these people to gather together, burn a pot of charcoal fire in one room, and prepare a few quilts, let them get through this period. It should be fine." Even in modern times, there are many people who freeze to death in winter, let alone in ancient times.

Temporary aid stations, this is a good way to adapt the past to the present.

"This idea is good, and it's very simple. Why didn't I think of it!" Zhuang Jinhan suddenly realized.

Lu Siyu was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect Zhuang Jinhan to care so much, but after all, he was not a big deal, so he didn't ask any more questions, and quietly ate the best meal he had since crossing.
