dust song

"I heard that the Chu family has offended someone in the court, and they are going to have their house ransacked!"

"Which Chu family? Could it be the richest man in the capital?"

"Hey, you're asking! Can other small households be called copycats?"

As soon as Master Chu heard the news that his home was going to be searched, he took his family and fled to the south of the Yangtze River overnight to avoid disaster. Before the next day, the news had spread throughout the capital.All of a sudden, all the people began to boldly talk about the Chu family, which they had never dared to mention before.

"The Chu family moved out overnight, leaving behind a motherless bastard."

"It's really inhumane. After earning so much money, in the end, I don't even want my own son!"

This is actually nothing, and what they don't know is that when Master Chu was about to leave, he even remembered to ask his servants to pick up his dog, but he left Chu Lichen alone in the capital to fend for himself. In the end, people are even worse than dogs.

But it’s no wonder, Chu Lichen’s mother, Ying Lian, was born in the lower ranks. Although she is the No. , until she was pregnant with Chu Lichen, Master Chu reluctantly took both mother and son back to the Chu Mansion because of the rumors outside.

"Master Chu ran away, so where did Chu Lichen go?"

"It is said that he went to the actor's hall where his mother was alive, or that he was bought by a master to be a male favorite, but he may have starved to death in some corner long ago."

Nowadays, the masculine style is prevalent in the Tianquan Kingdom, and it has become a status symbol for dignitaries to keep male pets.

"The Chu family used to be so powerful, and they have no relatives to help them when they are down?"

"It's too late for those snobby relatives to hide, who will take Chu Lichen in?"

People's hearts are warm and cold, and the world is hot and cold. Chu Lichen has long looked down on him. Now he just wants to live a good life, so that he can be considered worthy of his mother's kindness in giving birth to him.

"Then Chu Lichen is already 22, so he can always find a job."

"Even if he is a bastard, he is still a young master. How can he be a man who can work? In my opinion, the male favorite of a rich family thinks he is too old."

Now it has been half a month since the Chu family escaped. Chu Lichen was walking aimlessly in the market in the capital city, listening to the people in the neighborhood still talking about the Chu family, he still looked indifferent, as if they What I just said was not myself.

Lichen, Lichen, mother, how can the child stay away from these worldly dust now?I'm afraid I will live up to your expectations.

Chu Lichen pinched the corner of his clothes expressionlessly, sighed and walked away.

Although Master Chu didn't wait to see their mother and son when he was in the Chu Mansion, he was not short of their food and clothing, so Chu Lichen would not starve to death immediately after the Chu family's catastrophe.

But Master Chu only threw him a piece of silver when he left, and at last Chu Lichen was so hungry that he had no choice but to sell the only valuable brocade clothes on his body and exchanged them for coarse clothes, but no matter how much money he had, he would spend it all one day. He has no skills and can't read a few words. The labor foreman is reluctant to use him because he is slender. When he goes to a restaurant as a waiter, he is also dismissed by the shopkeeper. His fingers are green and tender, and he doesn't look like a working person. Chu Lichen went to work as a part-time errand worker, and lived a life without a meal.

He is tall and slender, with a slender and white face, phoenix eyes and sword eyebrows. His beautiful appearance can't help but make women a bit inferior. Although he is dressed in rags, he can't help but attract the attention of the people passing by.

"Hey, little beauty, look at your skinny skin and tender flesh, why don't you go back home with my master and guarantee you delicious food and spicy food!" Chu Lichen raised his eyes slightly, and a face with upturned eyebrows and blue eyes suddenly appeared In front of him, he shook his head helplessly, this is already the tenth person who told him so in the past half month.

Seeing that Chu Lichen ignored him, the man was still spitting all over the place, "Little beauty, why don't you speak, you must be a mute? It would be a pity if you were a mute, but you can still see this face and figure Gotta get over it."

Chu Lichen pursed his lips, glanced at the man with his phoenix eyes, and did not intend to answer, but just as he was about to turn sideways to leave, the guard behind the man was not happy, and stepped forward to clamp Chu Lichen, "Hey Our grandfather is talking to you! You didn’t hear me! What is it!”

Seeing this situation, the passers-by on both sides stopped and began to wait and see, but after a long time, no one dared to stop it.

Seeing so many people surrounding him, Chu Lichen quickly raised his arms to cover his face, for fear that they would recognize him, he waved his hands angrily, clicked his tongue lightly, and gritted his teeth, "Let go of me, I won't go."

Unexpectedly, the man not only didn't listen, but also caught off guard and stretched out his hand to provoke Chu Lichen's chin, jokingly said: "Hey, can't you talk, and you don't want to go with me? You have a strong temper, and I like it."

The guard who pulled Chu Lichen saw that the man looked like he was really going to take Chu Lichen back, and he said in the back, "Master, this is a man no matter what, Madam, it's hard to explain..."

The man smiled obscenely, "Men are good, they can't have children, and they don't have to worry about playing badly if they play casually."

Unexpectedly, he uttered such obscene and vulgar words in the street, Chu Lichen was stunned for a moment, and then his chest throbbed endlessly. Taking advantage of the guard's distraction, he kicked the man's knee hard and ran away immediately.

Ignoring the angry curses coming from behind, Chu Lichen spread his legs and ran desperately, but how could he outrun the well-trained guards? They caught him and locked him in an alley in the market.

Without waiting for Chu Lichen to say anything, his fists were like dense raindrops, and he began to greet him. Seeing the situation, Chu Lichen hurriedly protected his head. He, who had never been beaten before, broke out in cold sweat in a short time , Dense sweat soaked the black hair, and it stuck tightly to the sides of his cheeks.

"Bah, that's bad luck!" Fortunately, the man just sneered and left with his guards.

Chu Lichen closed his eyes and breathed a sigh of relief, his mind went blank, and he didn't know how long he had been lying on the cold brick floor until his stomach growled with hunger. I have no money, so I can only stand up tremblingly, hugging my legs and leaning against the base of the wall without moving, hoping to slow down my hunger.

Chu Lichen muttered to himself, "It's autumn and I'm hungry, what will I do in winter?"

When I was starving, I always felt that the time passed very slowly. After finally staying up until the sun was fading to the west, and the cold wind suddenly picked up, I couldn’t help but feel a little chilly. Chu Lichen felt better when he curled up in a ball. He was cold and hungry Although he was shaking with pain all over his body, he couldn't hold back the sleepiness and fell asleep in a daze after a while.

He didn't sleep well that night, but he still gritted his teeth and endured it. After all, it's good that he can survive now, so he has no right to complain about other things.

On a sunny day the next day, Chu Lichen opened his eyes under the glare of the sun, and found that there were two copper plates lying in front of him at some point. Which kind-hearted person treats me like a beggar."

He said so, but still silently put away the copper plate on the ground, went to the bun shop on the street to exchange for a bun, and ate it in small bites.

Chu Lichen licked/licked his thin lips as if aftertaste, and suddenly looked sideways to see the scene of a beggar not far away begging for alms to the passing crowd.

"My lord, please do me a favor and give me some food. I haven't eaten for a few days. Ma'am, ma'am!"

A beggar is humble and obedient, sells his self-esteem, and is eaten by others, but in the end he can get what he wants.

Suddenly, an idea secretly sprouted in his heart...

Since then, while looking for capable work, he began to observe the appearance of beggars on the street when they were begging.

Until the end, when Chu Lichen couldn't find a job, he would beg on the side of the street with a broken bowl. After a long time, there would be one less concubine of the Chu family in this huge capital, and one more. Beggars for silver.

Although Chu Lichen has never read any books, he is not stupid. He is never willing to beg for food, but only wants money. Besides, the other beggars all look pitiful and say pitiful words to win sympathy, but Chu Lichen was different, he always had a smile on his face, and said auspicious words to dignitaries in rich and gorgeous clothes, and in the end he was able to coax those people to give money willingly.

As a result, Chu Lichen begged for more money in the past few days than beggars who have been rooted in the capital for many years.
