Jianghu are all masters

13.

Zhang Xiaoyuan trembled.

The youngest brother of the richest man, the eldest brother of the emperor.

This...he read it right?

He quietly raised his head again, and carefully looked at the writing on She Shuyi and Jiang Jianyu's heads.

He was really right.

... This master, Hidden Dragon and Crouching Tiger, is a bit scary.

He carefully looked at the tops of Wang Henian and Lu Zhaoming's heads again, for fear that there would be words like "first to pass on the orphan's magical skills to others" appearing on their heads.

Fortunately, except that the three buckets of surplus grain above Wang Henian's head had changed into two buckets of surplus grain, everything else remained unchanged.

Wait, no, that's not good at all.

Why are there only two buckets of rice left?

Are they so edible? !

Zhang Xiaoyuan looked at the rice in everyone's bowls, and made a nervous calculation in his heart.

According to their eating speed, two buckets of rice... should not last for fifteen days.

There is only fifty cash left over from Shimen, and the price of rice noodles on the market is more than three to four yuan a catty, and fifty cash can only last for another half a month.

He came to practice martial arts, not to starve!

Wang Henian still wanted to recruit more disciples, but he would not be able to afford a living if he added another disciple. If he recruited a few more in the future... what should he do?

On the first day Zhang Xiaoyuan officially entered the school, he was worried about the money of the teacher's family. The small dried fish in the bowl seemed to suddenly lose its flavor.

……

After eating, Lu Zhaoming stood in the courtyard, looking up at the big hole in the thatched roof.

They have a total of two thatched huts, one is used as a kitchen and dining room to store some sundries, and the other is a sleeping place for several people.

The big hole was broken on the top of the kitchen in the past few days after Wang Henian took Lu Zhaoming away. She Shuyi couldn't do rough work, Jiang Jianyu was lazy, and it didn't rain these days, so it has been left until now.

Jiang Jianyu stood behind Lu Zhaoming with his hips akimbo, and asked, "Brother, what should we do?"

"Go and cut some thatch first." He frowned slightly after saying this, and said, "I'll go up and have a look."

He has the true biography of Wang Henian the most, and his lightness kung fu is excellent. He can easily stand on the thatched roof. After checking the situation for a while, he jumped off the roof. Just in time, he saw She Shuyi coming from the back of the house, beckoned to him, and said, "Zhaoming, you In the past few days, take time to go down the mountain."

Lu Zhaoming walked over and asked, "Master, tell me."

She Shuyi said: "You go down the mountain to buy some rice, cabbage and wine. I've already given you the money. Just bring the things back."

Zhang Xiaoyuan originally looked up at the big hole in the courtyard, but now he was very curious when he heard what She Shuyi said, so he moved closer behind Lu Zhaoming. She Shu laughed when he saw it, and even touched his head with his hand, saying: "Take Xiao Yuan with you, it's boring to be bored on the mountain, it's better to go to the town to have fun."

Lu Zhaoming nodded: "Yes."

She Shuyi looked around and saw that Wang Henian was not nearby, so she secretly gave Lu Zhaoming an ingot of silver, and said, "Go and buy some delicious food, and bring some snacks for Xiao Yuan."

Lu Zhaoming frowned slightly: "Master, this..."

She Shuyi said: "This is my uncle's private money, your master doesn't know, so don't tell your master."

Lu Zhaoming hesitated for a long time, finally nodded and agreed, and said, "Zhaoming understands."

He turned his head, just in time to see Zhang Xiaoyuan staring blankly at the top of She Shuyi's head.

Of course he didn't know that at this moment, two lines of words had just been replaced on She Shuyi's head.

"Private money: three thousand four hundred and seventy-eight thousand two hundred and sixty seven taels of silver"

"Private money: three thousand four hundred and seventy-eight thousand two hundred and sixty two taels of silver"

Zhang Xiaoyuan: "..."

Zhang Xiaoyuan clutched the few small bank notes in his pocket tightly, not daring to speak.

14.

Zhang Xiaoyuan didn't understand why a wealthy son like She Shuyi was willing to leave home thousands of miles away to live in a broken thatched hut and couldn't even afford a piece of meat every day.

He frowned and thought, and suddenly heard a loud noise behind him, all three of them were startled, and Zhang Xiaoyuan turned his head quickly - the roof of the thatched house behind him had collapsed, and Jiang Jianyu was sitting in the pile of rubble in a state of embarrassment. Looking at his head, he smiled awkwardly when he saw everyone looking at him, and said, "Uh... this... I can't help stepping on this roof!"

Lu Zhaoming: "..."

Zhang Xiaoyuan: "..."

She Shuyi was a little panicked, he was worried that Jiang Jianyu would be injured, but fortunately Jiang Jianyu was fine, but the house had collapsed.Hearing the noise, Wang Henian hurried out from another room. Seeing the situation, he was stunned for a long time before recovering and asked, "What's wrong?"

At this time, Lu Zhaoming answered Jiang Jianyu's question just now, and said, "You go up with light work and step on it three feet away, it won't be like this."

Jiang Jianyu rubbed his aching waist: "Brother, my lightness kung fu is not as good as yours, and it's heavier than yours..."

With just a few words, Wang Henian seemed to understand what happened. He sighed, and grabbed Jiang Jianyu's hand. Zhang Xiaoyuan thought that Master was going to scold someone, and shrank his neck, a little scared, but he heard Wang Henian talking earnestly about the experience of lightness kung fu. .

"If you step on it, of course you're going to fall." Wang Henian said, "How many times have I said this to my master, use Qi to transform your strength, and look at your senior brother's movements when he falls."

He turned his head and asked Lu Zhaoming to demonstrate again.

Lu Zhaoming jumped up to the eaves of the bedroom. He was indeed as light as a swallow, with a vigorous posture, like a cat jumping up to a high place. He landed in the courtyard again without a sound. Wang Henian stroked his beard very satisfied, and nodded. Nodding, he asked Jiang Jianyu: "Jianyu, can you see clearly?"

Jiang Jianyu hesitated: "I... should understand."

Wang Henian encouraged him: "Quick, go and try."

She Shuyi hurriedly tried to stop it, but Jiang Jianyu had already jumped onto another roof that was still intact.

He wobbled and was a little nervous, but this time he was relieved, and the roof was intact. He breathed a sigh of relief, and finally showed joy, and said happily: "Master! This disciple understands!"

His feet suddenly sank.

Jiang Jianyu: "..."

She Shuyi: "..."

Zhang Xiaoyuan: "..."

15.

Another house also collapsed.

16.

Zhang Xiaoyuan sat blankly in front of the two piles of ruins, seeing that it was getting late, he didn't know what to do for a while.

It's getting dark, where are they going to sleep tonight?Sleeping rough?There won't be wolves in the mountains, right? ?

She Shuyi didn't want to talk to Wang Henian anymore. He squatted and rummaged through the ruins of his bedroom, with a straight face, looking as if he was angry. Wang Henian smiled awkwardly, not forgetting to comfort Jiang Jianyu, saying: " Jianyu, you did a good job this time, it's the roof...it's my fault that the teacher didn't build it well."

What, so this house was built by Wang Henian himself?

Zhang Xiaoyuan was even more sluggish.

The kitchen also collapsed, and two buckets of rice were placed in the jar in the kitchen. The jar seemed to have been smashed, mixed with so much thatch and black ash, this rice...is it still edible?

Not to mention the place to rest at night, what should we do for dinner? !

Lu Zhaoming flicked his clothes, sat beside him, and only said a word to him: "It's good to get used to it."

Zhang Xiaoyuan: "..."

Habit?

Could it be that this house...is going to collapse every few days?

She Shuyi suddenly opened her mouth.

"As I said before, go down the mountain and ask people to come back and ask them to help build a tile-roofed house." She Shuyi was a little annoyed, "You just don't listen, and you have to do it yourself. How many times is this already this year?"

Wang Henian felt aggrieved: "Part-time workers need a lot of money a day, and bricks and tiles are charged separately. How can we get so much money?"

She Shuyi: "..."

She Shuyi finally found what he wanted in the ruins. It was a money bag, which seemed to contain some broken silver. He put the money bag away, turned to Zhang Xiaoyuan and the others and said, "Live in the town for a few days, tomorrow Find someone to come up and build a new house."

Wang Henian was still muttering: "This is too expensive..."

She Shuyi said: "I will pay for it."

Zhang Xiaoyuan blinked, turned his head and asked Lu Zhaoming tentatively: "Brother, is uncle rich?"

Lu Zhaoming shook his head: "Master's family is in business, but it's just a small business."

Zhang Xiaoyuan: "..."

The richest man in the capital, a small business?

Zhang Xiaoyuan didn't believe it.

Lu Zhaoming added: "The division mostly relies on the uncle's subsidy, and his family occasionally sends him money."

... I'm afraid it's not money sent from home at all, but his own terribly large amount of private money.

Zhang Xiaoyuan couldn't understand why She Shuyi wanted to conceal his identity, he frowned, and thought of other questions.

"Then... what do we rely on for a living?" Zhang Xiaoyuan asked cautiously, "I think there are hundreds of tenant farmers in Zixia Building, and Sanhua Palace also has a dozen shops in the south of the Yangtze River."

Lu Zhaoming answered him simply and simply: "Rely on part-time labor."

Zhang Xiaoyuan: "...huh?"

Lu Zhaoming thought he didn't hear clearly, so he repeated: "Part-time job."

Zhang Xiaoyuan: "..."

This sect... In terms of military strength, it ranks first in the Jianghu, 41, 140 are all in the sect, in terms of family background, there are the richest brother Yaodi and the emperor's elder brother, so prominent, they actually have to rely on part-time jobs to make a living? !

Zhang Xiaoyuan couldn't believe it.

Zhang Xiaoyuan hesitated for a moment, then asked again: "Where is the second senior brother? The second senior brother's family is not bad, right?"

Lu Zhaoming shook his head, as if lowering his voice a little, so as not to let Jiang Jianyu hear what they said: "Second junior brother's parents have gone, and my aunt used to be a tailor in the town. She is very good at embroidery, and second junior brother also learned some lessons."

He paused, stretched out his foot, let Zhang Xiaoyuan look at his shoes, and said, "Second Junior Brother made it up."

Zhang Xiaoyuan frowned, thought about the carefree second senior brother, and then looked at Lu Zhaoming's well mended shoes, he felt completely unable to connect Jiang Jianyu with needlework.

He also thought of the line of words that appeared on Jiang Jianyu's head, which said that he had been living abroad when he was young, and the royal family probably didn't even know that they had such a bloodline.

Now he has roughly understood the identities of the few people in the sect, only Lu Zhaoming is still a mystery.

Zhang Xiaoyuan managed to pluck up the courage and asked, "Then... how about you, senior brother?"

"I don't remember." Lu Zhaoming frowned slightly, "I have never met my parents. Master adopted me."

Zhang Xiaoyuan understood in a flash, he apologized to Lu Zhaoming incoherently, and said, "I'm sorry, big brother, I shouldn't ask these questions."

"It's okay." Lu Zhaoming still looked flat, "I don't remember anyway."
