Jinghong Building

Chapter 311 Belated care is less expensive than grass (two chapters in one)

The next day, He Shuming came here again. Although he didn't see He Shuqiao passing by, he heard about it.

Nearby lived a martial arts master who retired from the army, and the children all learned martial arts here.

A kind aunt told him: "Young man, do you want to learn martial arts too? Then you have to ask an acquaintance to recommend it. That master will not accept disciples to the public."

Don’t accept disciples to the outside world?

Need someone to recommend?

He Shuming felt even more sad.

What He Shuqiao wants is nothing, who would recommend it to him?

Didn’t it just entrusted to He Ran?

At this moment, He Shuming felt that something had been stolen.

He must find He Shuqiao!

After knowing the residence of the martial arts master, He Shuming looked over and happened to meet the children who came out of school. This time, he called He Shuqiao.

"Brother?" He Shuqiao was surprised.

He Shuming forced out a smile: "Where do you live?"

"Shantang, my second sister and I are in Shantang." He Shuqiao said.

He Shuming frowned and said angrily: "You are lying!"

He Shuqiao didn't understand, so: "Brother, what do you mean? I didn't lie."

He Shuming sneered: "I've inquired. This martial arts master is not an ordinary person. Why did he teach you?"

He Shuqiao: "No, it's because I live in a good hall."

These little disciples are all from the charity hall.

But He Shuming didn't believe it, and he asked coldly, "Where is He Shuting, what is she doing?"

He Shuqiao felt a strange feeling in his heart, but he still told the truth: "The second sister usually does needlework."

"Take me to see her!" He Shuming said in a stern tone.

He Shuqiao frowned, and he saw disgust in his elder brother's eyes.

Since I came to Jinyang, no one has looked at him with this kind of eyes and ordered him in this tone.

"What are you doing with the second sister?"

Although He Shuqiao is young, he is already eight years old when he left Zhendingshi. He remembers all the things that happened after his parents disappeared.

He did not forget that even though his parents disappeared, they still had money and things to grow up.

It was the eldest brother He Shuming who handed all the things to his second uncle and second aunt. The second sister refused to give it to him, so the eldest brother forced to pull out the hairpin on his second sister's head.

He also remembers that when he and his second sister were beaten by their second aunt and ran back to the long room, the eldest brother looked at them with cold and warm eyes, and only took a look.

He doesn't like the eldest brother.

He Shuming obviously didn't expect that He Shuqiao would dare to ask him back.

He is the eldest son in the family. Before something happened at home, he always talked about it in front of his younger brothers and sisters.

"Let you take me to see her, stop talking nonsense!"

He Shuqiao shook his head: "If you don't tell the reason, I won't take you there."

Although He Shuming was angry, he was also a little surprised. He Shuqiao had never dared to talk to him like this in the past.

He suppressed his anger and said patiently, "We are brothers and sisters of a mother and compatriots. In this world, there are only three of us who are closest to us. Now I am here in Jinyang. Isn't it normal to care about you?"

He Shuqiao took two steps back: "Brother, you have never asked whether the second sister and I are living well. Brother, do you really care about us? Brother, have you ever contacted us after the second sister and I left?"

He remembered something. Their life in the He family was too difficult. The second sister ran to the Yan family for help, but Uncle Yan and Aunt Yan wanted to sell the second sister, who was only fourteen years old, to an old man. He fled back to the He family and told the eldest brother about this, but the eldest brother continued to read his book as if he hadn't heard it.

The second sister was sold, but the eldest brother didn't care; he and the second sister were beaten to the point of bruising and swollen face, but the eldest brother didn't care, but now he suddenly cared about them. It's really interesting.

He Shuming was stunned for a moment, and his anger could no longer be suppressed: "He Shuqiao, how dare you talk to me like this?"

He Shuqiao retreated again: "I dare not, so don't come to us."

After saying that, he turned around and ran away. When He Shuming reacted, He Shuqiao had already flashed into an alley. When He Shuming chased after him, he was no longer in the alley.

He Shuming was panting, and he held the wall with his hands and gasped. He Shuqiao, this ungrateful wolf, you better not let me find it, otherwise I will see how I deal with you!

There is also He Shuting. He Shuping has become like this. He Shuting must have taught him.

It must have been the time when the Yan family wanted to exchange He Shuting for the dowry. He Shuting asked him, the eldest brother, to stand up for her. He ignored him, and He Shuting held a grudge against him.

Hasn’t He Shuting already escaped back to the He family?

Uncle Yan didn't chase her to the He family and arrest her?

What else is there to be wronged about her?

If she had not escaped that time, but agreed to the marriage, Uncle Yan might have paid off his debts, the creditor would not have chased him to the capital, nor would he come to Jinyang like a dog with a broken family.

He Shuting is the person who is least qualified to hold a grudge against him.

He Shuqiao went around a big circle and returned to Shantang. He found He Shuting and told her about his encounter with He Shuming.

"Second sister, brother is looking for you. You don't want to go out these days. I don't think he is kind."

He Shuting wiped off the sweat beads from He Shuqiao's face pity, and her voice was calm: "From the day we left Zhending, we have no older brother."

He Shuqiao and Zheng pointed: "Well, it's good for us to do this now, we don't need a big brother."

"Xiaoqiao, let's do your homework together." A child shouted at him.

"OK."

He Shuqiao jumped to find his friends.

Looking at He Shuqiao's back, He Shuting felt thoughtful.

He Shuqiao was so easy to satisfy, and only he thought that this would be fine now.

Where is it better?

Living in a charity hall, doing the lowest level of work, even the clothes on his body are old clothes that others have eliminated.

Their current situation is only a little better than that of beggars.

He Ran went to the capital and would never come back in the future.

But they still have to endure here day by day.

He Shuting thought of Lu Zhen. The young man who was shining like a star was so dazzling and so out of reach.

He Shuting smiled bitterly. She was not worthy of such a boy.

She lowered her head and continued to do needlework. She could never finish the needlework, and she didn't want to finish it. If there was no needlework to do one day, she would have no money to make. As for He Shuming, I hope he will never find this place. In this life, it is the best result for them to form strangers with him.

As for what He Shuming said about caring for them, haha, the belated care is more cheap than grass.

After meeting He Shuqiao that day, He Shuming inquired about this good hall.

This is the most famous charity hall in Jinyang. Even Lu Zhen has been here, and many people in Jinyang City know about it.

He only used a candy man and found out from a child that He Shuqiao and his sister did live in this shantang.

He Shuming found out the address of a matchmaker and looked for it.

Matchmaker Wang has a bad reputation in this industry. In her early years, she was fined by the yamen for her cooperation with Renyazi.

In recent years, she has become much more honest on the surface, but in fact she has learned to learn and transferred all the shameful activities to private.

He Shuming found matchmaker Wang. He said he was a scholar and his family was in trouble. He sold his property and went to the capital to take the official exam, but unfortunately failed.

He brought his sister to Jinyang to visit his relatives, but his relatives did not take them in.

No mistakes, one song, one content, one in 6, one book, one bar, one reading!

He didn't want to drag down his sister, so he wanted to find a marriage for his sister.

He had no other requirements, he just wanted his sister to live a rich life without having to endure hardships with him.

He is all for his sister's good.

Matchmaker Wang knew what was going on as soon as she heard it.

It’s **** for the sake of your sister’s goodness. You are not saying that you can’t make it in Jinyang City anymore. Do you want to exchange your sister for money?

She understands, she understands everything!

She has seen many such people, and she has also taken care of many such things.

Matchmaker Wang asked, "How old is your girl? How is your appearance? Is it a chick?"

He Shuming was about to say that it must be Chu, but his words changed again. After years of separation, who knows whether He Shuting is still Chu?

From Zhending to Jinyang, the journey is long. How did she come here as a girl and a child?

It’s probably because of money you can exchange for your body!

He Shuming hurriedly said, "My sister and I are twins. We are six or seven percent similar. My sister is a famous beauty and knows everything about piano, chess, calligraphy and painting."

Matchmaker Wang looked at him a few more times. Although he had lost weight and was a little poor, his facial features were still good. If he had twins, he could be considered a beauty.

Matchmaker Wang snorted and said to He Shuming: "If your sister looks really good, I have a good marriage on hand, but I just don't know if you are willing to give up."

He Shuming hurriedly said, "Tell me."

Matchmaker Wang said, "It's the son of Gou Dahu in Liuxi Street. Alas, that's a seedling in a thousand acres of land. Gou Dahu has only that son. He has been in poor health since childhood, so he delayed the marriage. Gou The wealthy family asked me to find a girl with a pure and beautiful background. "

He Shuming thought to himself, it turned out to be a sick person.

Isn’t this much better than the old man Yan found?

"Where is the betrothal gift? How much is the Gou family willing to pay?" He Shuming asked impatiently. He lacked money, too.

Matchmaker Wang looked like I knew you would ask this. She smiled and stretched out three white and fat fingers: "This number."

He Shuming was overjoyed: "Three thousand taels?"

Matchmaker Wang spat: "What do you want to eat? Do you think your girl is a fairy? Three hundred taels!"

He Shuming was disappointed, only three hundred taels?

He Shuting is too worthless.

He heard from Uncle Yan that the old man they found for He Shuting had a betrothal gift of 2,000 taels.

Why is it only three hundred taels now?

In fact, what He Shuming didn't know was that the money given by the Gou Dahu was 500 taels, and matchmaker Wang drew 200 taels from it.

Seeing that He Shuming felt that he was too young, matchmaker Wang said, "You don't look at your current situation. If you are like this, do you still want the girl to be an official wife?

Now it is not as good as in previous years. It is not easy to find a good marriage if you are a dilapidated person like you.

You may not know yet. The former Miss Sun family was a lady from the official family. She married a small family and only gave her a betrothal gift of fifty taels.

In other words, Mr. Gou is in poor health, otherwise this good marriage would not fall on you.

If you think this marriage is not good, I have one here, but I can't compare to the Gou family. That one is filling the house with four children and two daughters on it. You can be a grandmother when you enter the door. The betrothal gift is 200 taels.

I don’t know, this is the most suitable one from the Gou family.

By the way, this marriage is not enough for us to talk about. You have to bring your sister to the big family to see. If they like it, they can't even have these three hundred taels. ”

He Shuming's mind was very fast, three hundred taels, which was enough for him to spend a while. He could use this money to exchange for a suit, show off his skills at those literary and poetry meetings, make new friends, and then let these new friends Introduce him to the upstarts in Jinyang City.

Anyway, this is Jinyang, and there are many people with the surname He here.

When he saw his name, no one knew that he came from the Zhending He family. At most, he would think that he was the same as He Dazhuang because of He Ran's surname.

He Shuming seemed to have seen his future. With his talent, his conversation, and his appearance, he could not only become a guest clerk in the prestigious family mansions of Jin, but also continue to study with their resources, even if he no longer participates in the imperial examination. He can also become famous among scholars.

Who is matchmaker Wang? She ate more salt than He Shuming ate.

Just a glance, she knew that the poverty in front of her was probably because she had even thought about how to spend the money to sell girls.

If He Shuming was a local, matchmaker Wang would never dare to mention the marriage of the Gou family to him.

Gou's wealthy family always finds their daughter-in-law.

It is said that it is a daughter-in-law, but in fact it is just finding a woman for the Gou Dafu himself.

His son was slumped on the bed and could not pass on the family line.

Matchmaker Wang encouraged him a few more words, and He Shuming agreed and brought He Shuting over to the Gou family as soon as possible.

He Shuting never expected that after only two days, He Shuming appeared in front of her.

"Why are you here?"

If He Shuting hadn't grown up together since childhood, she would have almost never recognized the person in front of her.

He Shuming in her memory was as beautiful as a bamboo, and He Shuming in front of her looked stubborn, sloppy and decadent. What was even more terrifying was his gloomy aura that shone out from his bones. His eyes looked at her as if he wanted to eat people.

He Shuming was also looking at He Shuting, who was his twin sister.

The clown and cloth skirt in front of him could not hide her clear and beautiful look. She was much more beautiful than He Shuyuan. No wonder, before she could even get enough, Yan Daming took her mind to her.

With this face, He Shuting can sell it for a good price.

"Second sister, don't you want to see me?"

His voice made He Shuting shudder. Shuqiao was right, He Shuming had really changed, and it became very terrifying.

"Brother, where are you living now?" He Shuting tried hard to stabilize her emotions.

"I have no place to live, so I'm here to find you."

He Shuming looked around with disdain on his face: "He Ran lets you live here? She didn't treat you as a human being at all, you are so cheap!"

This is Shantang, and He Shuming's voice is not small. When the word "He Ran" is out, someone looked here.

He Shuting called out a bad thing inwardly and hurriedly said, "Brother, it's inconvenient to speak here. Let's go out for a walk and talk while walking?"
