Chapter 557： take refuge

Zhou Shuren recalled Deng Xiucai. When he came to the capital to buy a house, Deng Xiucai helped a lot. Zhao Bo's friend, yes, he remembered that Deng Xiucai had a brother-in-law who was a servant of the household, from the right or the left. Not long ago One of his homes was raided, his servant was beheaded, and his family seemed to be relegated to their ancestral home for three generations and not allowed to take scientific examinations.

Jin Yan brought people in, but Zhou Shuren almost didn't recognize Deng Xiucai. In the past, Deng Xiucai was well-dressed and looked like a brother with a fan in his hand. Now, the coarse cloth clothes and the hairpin on his head have been replaced by wood, and he is much older.

So, Zhou Shuren understands that it was Deng Xiucai's brother-in-law who raided the house. That's right. Back then, Deng Xiucai's brother-in-law had a bit of a thin face in the capital. It was all a network of connections, so Deng Xiucai's brother-in-law had problems from beginning to end. .

Deng Xiucai twitched his sleeves with his fingers. The temperature in the room was very warm. When the temperature came up, his fingertips were a little itchy and his eyes were a little uneasy. "Big, my lord."

Zhou Shuren retracted his gaze, so it is better to rely on himself. The backing has been so beautiful in the past, but now he is so desolate, "Deng Xiucai, we can be considered as old acquaintances, sit down."

Seeing that it was not polite, Deng Xiucai sat down cautiously, "Thank you sir."

Zhou Shuren didn't ask why he was so down. He could guess that Deng Xiucai's home was not peaceful at the beginning, his house was restless, his backing fell, and his home naturally fell apart, "Drink tea."

Deng Xiucai took a sip of tea. How long has it been since he drank such good tea? Thinking of his current home, he and his son are the only ones left. His parents died, and his wife reconciled. Oh, and he took his daughter. Who will let him go? The daughter grows well, and the young son is left to himself.

Zhou Shuren's eyes fell on Deng Xiucai's feet, only a pair of cloth shoes, sighed, Deng Xiucai made a lot of money, but without a backer, it would be a disaster, "Why don't you leave?"

Deng Xiucai clenched the teacup tightly, why didn't he leave, because he was unwilling, "So what if I go back, I'm stuck in the ancestral land and don't know when I can get out?"

He was reluctant to leave because he knew that once he left the capital, it would be difficult to come back.

Zhou Shuren saw the unwillingness in Deng Xiucai's eyes, "You have been waiting for me?"

He couldn't think of anyone else who could become Deng Xiucai's hope.

Deng Xiucai raised his mind and became nervous. He was indeed gambling. Although he had been bullied and barely starved to death, he had the foundation and was able to inquire about the news. Lord Zhou, the more inquiries he made, the more he held it. Hope, "Yes."

Zhou Shuren recognized Deng Xiucai's ability, and this person is very good at the three teachings and Jiuliu, "Did you come to seek refuge?"

Straightforward, under the premise of unequal, there is no need to beat around the bush.

Deng Xiucai slowed down his breathing and calmed himself down. He needed to calm down, "Yes, I am willing to work for the adults."

Zhou Shuren climbed up all the way, accepted a lot of people, and experienced a lot of people, there are not many people who can make him remember a lot, but there is one in front of him, and now he has experienced the downfall, and his mind is more determined, "Then prove it to me. , your ability."

Deng Xiucai's eyes were ecstatic. He didn't expect it to be so smooth. He couldn't believe it, "Sir, why don't you check it?"

Zhou Shuren smiled, "I mean to prove it to me. Those who have an inspection period will keep the certificate, and those who fail will leave."

Deng Xiucai laughed at himself. How could someone who climbed to the prefect of Jinzhou in just a few years trust him, but he really didn't rely on anyone, his eyes were firm, "I will prove it."

Zhou Shuren hummed, and reached out to touch the purse, but then his hand froze. The money in the purse was almost gone. It seemed that there were only a few taels. You can tell the situation is difficult by wearing it, "You eat some snacks and sit for a while."

Deng Xiucai was already hungry, but he didn't dare to move, "Yes."

Deng Xiucai waited for the adults to leave, and his heart was extraordinarily complicated. He didn't take it seriously for the first time. Once again, Zhou Shuren became the second place. Now he needs to look up and pick up the cakes silently. He hasn't eaten it for a long time. Laughing, so climb up!

Zhou Shuren called for Jingyan and Jingxing, "How many silver taels do you have now?"

Jin Yan was stunned, "More than a thousand taels."

Shen Xing blinked his eyes, what is the lord doing, his eyes are a little floaty, when he is not following the lord, he is often reselling antiques to save his family, tangled, "Five, five thousand taels."

Zhou Shuren was silent, so did he ask something serious? These two people really have money, and being cautious is what hides the most!

Shen Xing found himself exposed and became nervous, so he and Jin Yan were stupid?

Zhou Shuren coughed, "Lend me one hundred taels of silver first."

Cautious words and deeds were silent, and Zhou Shuren saw black lines all over his head, "So, you didn't bring any money?"

Jin Yan laughed dryly, "Sir, what kind of money do we bring when we go out with you?"

In the past, you didn't have to spend your own money.

Shen Xing touched his purse and shook out less than a tael of broken silver, "That's all."

Zhou Shuren was so depressed that he wanted to vomit blood. Staring at less than a tael of broken silver, Zhou Shuren gritted his teeth, "Aren't you afraid of running out of money if you go out without money?"

Jin Yan looked at the sky, "Cough, which adult, there are still a lot of people who have been robbed and robbed. It's okay to get out of it."

Shen Xing took the words, "And the government has a warrant for arrest. If you are about to run out of money, you will also pick up one or two jobs."

Zhou Shuren, "..."

So just don't spend a penny of your own money.

Zhou Shuren gritted his teeth, and to put it bluntly, he still needed to borrow money. He didn't know much about the capital. After playing around, he couldn't borrow it. In the end, it was Lord Wang who saved his life. Master Wang said that I borrowed one hundred taels of silver."

Remarkably, he slipped away, "Yes."

Zhou Shuren was embarrassed when he returned to the hall. Who would have thought that he had no money in his purse, and when he saw Deng Xiucai, he looked at him, "Who else is at home now?"

Deng Xiucai ate a few pieces of snacks and was no longer hungry, and he was confident enough to speak, "I have a son with me, and he is six years old."

Zhou Shuren frownedWhere do you live? "

Deng Xiucai lowered his head, "Rent a room in the civilian area of ​​Beicheng."

"The child is at home alone."

Deng Xiucai pursed his lips, he is really not a good father, he doesn't know how to cook, and he needs a six-year-old child to take care of him, "Yes."

Zhou Shuren ordered the table, "Bring the child over, tomorrow the child will come back to Jinzhou with me."

Deng Xiucai knew in his heart that Lord Zhou was not being kind, but he was holding on to the child, and he still didn't trust him. However, the son will definitely be well taken care of when he arrives at the Zhou residence, "Yes."

Zhou Shuren called Shen Xing over and asked Deng Xiucai to pick up the child.

In Zhoufu, Jinzhou, the doctor had already left, and Zhulan looked at Su Xuan, who had not recovered yet, um, she was not pregnant, she really gave herself a pit!
