Back To The Beginning Of Ming To Do Charity

The boy went to the bank to get money, and Lin Yuan packed his things in the ruined temple. Actually, there was nothing to clean up, mainly because Lin Yuan was in a hurry.

He is weak now, and when he passed through, it was the time when the original owner was burning the most. The original owner didn't make it through, so he continued to endure the heat. , I can only fill my stomach, don't even think about taking medicine or anything.

Lin Yuan was a little lucky, because cotton textiles were only available in the Yuan Dynasty. If it was pushed forward by another dynasty, the original owner and the servant would have froze to death on the road before they could find the ruined temple.

"Master!" The boy ran back quickly, and he also redeemed two cotton-padded jackets. One was his own, and the other was Lin Yuan's. Lin Yuan's jacket used more cotton and was more thick.

After putting on the padded jacket, Lin Yuan rubbed his hands, and finally dared to pull off the quilt.

They had been sleeping on the ground before, the quilts were extremely dirty, and no one cleaned the ruined temple. Because of the wind, beggars were unwilling to come over. After putting on their clothes, Lin Yuan was limping away with the help of a servant. Find an inn, and wait until you have recovered your health before going to buy property.

200 taels is really not a small amount. For an ordinary family of three, the annual expenses are only about two taels of silver. This is considered a small rich family.

In fact, Lin Yuan was a little glad that he didn't wear it until the early years of the Yuan Dynasty. That year was hell. At that time, the officials of the Yuan Dynasty were almost all illiterate. They just got off their horses when they first arrived in the Central Plains. Even the little ones can become officials, but the little officials below will mess around hard, collect money and frame them, and the smoke is dirty.

Although it is difficult now, it is not bad compared to that time.

"I've made some inquiries. There is an inn in the north of the city. It is said to be the largest and cleanest." The servant supported Lin Yuan, "The price for the room is two hundred Wen."

Lin Yuan shook his head: "If you can't live in the upper room, how much is the lower room?"

Boy: "Eighty Wen."

Lin Yuan: "Let's get out of the room, let's squeeze each other."

Anyway, it's been so crowded for more than a week.

This small town is called Wucheng, which is a bit close to Jiangnan. Lin Yuan will buy property there after he is ready to cultivate. He cannot go to Jiangnan. Chen Youliang, Zhang Shicheng, and Fang Guozhen are all in Jiangnan. Jiangnan is the place where the fighting is most intense. Still be careful.

The guest room in the inn was not big, but it was cleaned up fairly well. Xiaoer also brought them a pot of hot water for their master and servant to clean up. Lin Yuan ordered a meal and gave Xiaoer some money , Ask him to help buy two ready-made clothes.

"I'm sure you'll be satisfied." Xiaoer happily went down and bought two ready-made clothes. He could be greedy a little, not too much, but it was still money.

The food was served very quickly, one plate of fried vegetables and one plate of fried shredded pork. Because there are few people growing rapeseed flowers now, the vegetables are fried with lard. To clump.

Although there were only two dishes, the portions were quite sufficient, and Lin Yuan didn't stop until he was full with rice.

The boy went to grab a few doses of medicine, let the inn boil it up and bring it up, everyone said that the illness came like a mountain, and the illness went like a cocoon, but after keeping warm and eating conditions, Lin Yuan recovered very quickly. You can go shopping in one day.

Wucheng is not too big, the total population is estimated to be only 2 to [-] people, there are not many street vendors, and the people don’t go out very much in the cold winter months, they all stock up enough food for the winter, one meal a day, in the house Living life, but there are also hard workers and beggars, walking on the road in scanty clothes, shivering with cold when the cold wind blows.

They don't know if they can survive this winter.

"Guest officer, here is a bowl of tofu! It's hot! Warm your stomach!"

"Guest officer, my cakes are famous and delicious in Wucheng, you can try one."

The peddlers were laughing, their cheeks flushed from the cold, and they were still hawking.

Lin Yuan was walking on the road with his servant, and he didn't fit in with the poor people around him. After all, he came from a landlord family. They all stay indoors and rarely go out to bask in the sun. He is a rich young man with red lips and white teeth.

Although the young boy was born in a family and was born as a servant, he has been with Lin Yuan since he was seven years old. He takes care of Lin Yuan's affairs in his daily life. He has enough food and clothing, and knows some words. He lives better than some children from commoner families. Even better.

When the two of them appeared on the street, it was as if they were wearing a sign with three large characters "Rich Man" written on it.

"Master!"

As soon as Lin Yuan passed a street corner, he was hugged by a woman in ragged clothes. Her body was dirty and smelly, her hair was greasy and dusty, and fleas could be seen on closer inspection. Her clothes were like rags, and they were stuffed inside Holding on to the hay to keep warm, she grabbed Lin Yuan's leg with one hand and pulled out the child behind her with the other.

"Master!" the woman cried, "You bought him, you bought him, no money!"

"He can do it! I will work for you! He has strength!"

As he said that, he kowtowed to Lin Yuan again and again without any discount. He knocked on the ground with blood oozing from his forehead. He kowtowed as he kowtowed, "Master, buy him, buy him!"

The child who was led out saw his mother kneeling, so he knelt down too, and kowtowed along with him.

The eight-year-old child already knows this. His family used to be a farmer. Last year, when his father committed a crime, the landlord took back his family’s land. His father was also killed, and his mother took them to escape. Two older brothers died on the road, one died of starvation, and the other was so hungry that he went to steal vegetables from other people's fields and was beaten to death by the villagers there.

He and his mother wandered all the way, and when they arrived in this small town, they couldn't move anymore, so they became beggars here.

But the mother's health is getting worse and worse, the food he needs every day can only keep the two mothers alive, and they can't eat enough every day.

Originally, the owner of a grain store gave him some food, but now that grain store is closed, they lost even their last hope.

Last night, his mother said to him: "Baby, mother sold you to a good family, so you can have a good meal."

He asked: "My mother is also sold, let's go and have a full meal together."

His mother just laughed.

She is at this age, has given birth to three children, has big hands and feet, and has no good looks. Even if she wants to sell her to the secret door, she will not be accepted. Those rich people may buy an eight-year-old child back, but I would not buy a female beggar who could not live long at first sight.

She remembered that when she still had a family, her husband was honest and always worked hard. The eldest son was just like her husband, the stupidest but the most obedient and sensible. The second son was smarter and always said that he would go to work in the city when he grew up. Do a small business, then take over the whole family and live a good life.

A home is gone if it is gone.

If it weren't for her youngest son, she didn't know how she would survive.

At the worst time, she even wanted to die with her youngest son. She found a stone and crushed her youngest son to death first, and then herself.

But looking at the eyes of her youngest son, she couldn't do anything, so she could only wipe away her tears and continue on the road.

"Stop knocking!" Lin Yuan stopped a few times, but he couldn't stop him, so he could only roar.

Only then did the woman and the child stop, the woman's head was bloody, her eyes were full of despair, she said in a hoarse voice: "Master, he is really strong and able to work, he can work, he doesn't need wages , I will sell him to you, sign a contract of sale for you, and he will do whatever you ask him to do, young master, buy him young master!"

She was not begging Lin Yuan to buy her son, she was begging Lin Yuan to give her son a chance to live.

"Get up first." Lin Yuan held his forehead and said with some headache, "Get up and talk."

The woman's knees were frostbitten. She gritted her teeth and stood up with difficulty. The boy also stood beside the woman, not daring to look up at Lin Yuan.

Lin Yuan asked: "What will you do?"

The woman's eyes burst into light, and she said quickly: "The dog can herd cattle! Can farm! Can do rough work!"

Lin Yuan asked again: "Are you literate?"

The woman's shoulders collapsed: "No, illiterate..."

Lin Yuan actually wanted to be a good person, but God did not give him the opportunity to be a good person before. After graduating from university, he joined a company. The company was not big or small, and there were many intrigues. In addition to his own work, he also has to help his seniors.

If it is done well, the seniors and superiors will be praised and get bonuses.

If he didn't do a good job, he was the only one who was criticized for deducting wages.

I also thought about changing jobs, but I really couldn't find a better job. The major he studied in college was unpopular, so he could only stay in the company.

He found an opportunity to help seniors to make a mistake in the data, and it only belonged to the senior's name. Later, the upper management found out that when the senior wanted to talk to him, it was because the company knew that the senior always bullied him. , coupled with the illusion that he has been submissive, no one believed it at all, and the senior was fired.

The boss was that he got drunk when he was working on a project, and sent a leaky text message to the boss of the competing company with his phone and tone of voice, and the boss also fell down.

He rose from a small employee to a department manager.

In the workplace, Lin Yuan is like a fish in water, wins over his subordinates, fawns over his boss, and overthrows his opponents. He is really not a good person. Even Lin Yuan feels that if he is a good person, he is not willing to be friends with such a self.

"Do you know how to farm?" Lin Yuan asked the woman.

The woman was a little dazed, and her son hurriedly said, "Young master, my mother knows how to farm! You bought my mother together!"

"Just one bite! No money! Master! We will treat you like a horse!"

"Okay." Lin Yuan asked the boy to take out ten Wen, "Go buy some food, and wait for me here at noon in three days."

The woman and the boy knelt again.

"Thank you, young master, thank you, young master."

The boy was already used to his young master's kindness, so he was just curious: "Master, why give them ten coins? What if they don't come? Then we will lose money."

Lin Yuan: "If they don't come, I will treat them as a charity."

After all, it was definitely not enough for him and the boy to run away when buying land in the early stage. The ancients signed the deed of sale and became the master's family.

Moreover, he also hopes to accumulate some merits for the original owner, so that he can have a good birth, so that he can be reborn in the modern age in the next life, and be a good person with good rewards.

This is also a little psychological comfort.

The author has something to say: Lin Yuan is not a hard-hearted person, if you want to see a cold-hearted protagonist who must get revenge, you can read Qiqi's other article "Disaster".
