Ruyi [published edition]

The Zeng family was originally a big family in the city, but the only son was really a prodigal, somehow he was led astray, and he played with money, lost all the family property, and even brought a lawsuit against Zeng. Everything inside and outside the mansion was tightly blocked.

Ruyi was originally a servant in the Zeng family, but when she saw the government seal it up, she felt bad. Could it be that she stayed here and waited to be sold to pay off her debts?So he took advantage of the chaos and got out of the dog hole in the back garden.Fortunately, his mind moved quickly, if he was half a step late, he might not be free.

He just went to the street furtively, and before he took a few steps, he saw steaming steamed white flour steamed buns on the side of the road.He was also very hungry, so he was a little dizzy, reached out and grabbed two, and then ran away like flying.Instead, a heart was beating wildly in his chest, almost as if it was about to pop out.Ruyi held the two steamed buns tightly in her hands, and walked with her head down deeply, fearing to see people, while feeding them to her mouth without hesitation.

He only cared about eating, didn't look at the road, and walked in a hurry. As a result, he bumped into someone else's body, and half of the steamed bun in his hand fell to the ground, wasting it in vain.He was ashamed and angry, raised his head and opened his mouth to curse, "You are blind, young master, can you hit me too?"

The man glanced at him coldly, but didn't say anything, he patted his clothes, as if he thought he had soiled himself, and started to leave.How could Ruyi be such a good-natured person, seeing this person was about to leave, she rolled her eyes, suddenly her heart moved, and she shouted, "Hey, your purse fell."

The man turned around to look.Ruyi stretched out her foot to kick the man's calf.That person was probably not prepared, he fell to the ground after being tripped by him suddenly, his body was covered in dust, he was extremely embarrassed.

Ruyi chuckled, and said, "I'll make you look down on people! If you bump into someone, you won't have to pay for it. Do you want to run if you lift your legs?"

He fell a little hard this time, and his face changed a little. He stood up with his hands in the soil, and seemed to be a little angry. After looking at him for a long time, he finally sneered and said, "So it's a person? I looked at him from It crawled out of someone’s dog hole, so I thought it was something.”

He didn't expect all his embarrassing things to be seen by this person, his face turned red and then white, he was ashamed and angry, and cursed loudly, "Are you following me all the way? You're sneaky, it doesn't look like you Good man!"

Climbing a dog hole is not something glorious after all, and it made him even more ashamed when someone said it.

He kicked the man, but he still couldn't understand his hatred, so he cursed, "Young master crawled into the dog hole, and I'm happy with you, what's bothering you?"

The man slumped, patted the dust on his body, and said, "You are so young, you are so talkative, I am afraid that there are people who have no one to support, no wonder you are so useless!"

Ruyi was very angry with him, and was about to fight him, but heard the sound of gongs and drums not far away.With a thought, he pulled out a blade of grass on the side of the road, stuck it in his hair, knelt down in front of the man, and cried, "Master, why don't you want me? My mother's body is still in the temple." Put it there, wait for me to go back and bury her. The 20 taels you promised, you can’t lie to a villain, I am so innocent, I followed you..."

Ruyi covered her mouth and pretended to cry, but she couldn't help laughing to herself, looking at this man's attire, let alone 20 taels, I'm afraid he couldn't even get five taels, at this moment, I don't know how to hate him.

When he cried like this, people on the side of the road looked sideways at the two of them.The man was very shocked, his face was blue and white, and he scolded him in a low voice, "What nonsense are you talking about?"

Ruyi didn't care about that much, and continued to cry in the street, holding on to that person's trousers at the same time.When the officials came to clear the way, the official took to the street, what would this person do?

The man's face was very ugly, and he lowered his voice and cursed, "You boy, you are so unreasonable!"

He was crying and wanted to talk, but the man covered his mouth, and said helplessly and angrily, "Okay, don't you just want to eat and drink? If you want 20 taels, then Come back with me to get it."

When Ruyi heard this, she hurriedly stood up, and without bothering to dust off her body, she pulled the man and said with a smile, "I just said that the master won't coax me, and there is no master who is so kind and considerate." Damn it!" He purposely said this loudly, causing everyone around to look at the two of them curiously.

He is fearless.

His name is Ruyi, and his sister's name is Jixiang. This name is not for nothing.

For these mortals, the two of them are the most precious treasures in this world.With the two of them, you will be able to have good luck, turn bad luck into good luck, and be happy in everything.

Otherwise, the two siblings would not have been selected by the Dragon Lord and sent to the Zeng family to repay their kindness.

That person lives outside the city, and there are only small families on the left and right, and he looks ordinary. Ruyi looked at his half-old and outdated door, and clicked his tongue twice in his heart, thinking, he wouldn't be able to spend 20 taels if he was killed. ?

The man took him back, taught him to sit in the living room, and said, "Wait for me to write a deed."

After finishing speaking, he turned around and went in, and there was no movement for a long time.Ruyi took a teapot and poured a bowl of water to drink, and took some snacks to eat. After he had eaten and drank enough, he didn't see this person coming out, so he had a small calculation in his heart. Now he is living alone and has nowhere to go. It's better to just rely on this person.

As soon as the man came out, he saw him lying on the table and fell asleep, looking at him with a sullen face for a while.Frowning, he didn't know what was going on in his mind, he went in and wrote Zhang's deed, then came out again to shake Ruyi awake, and asked him, "What's your name?"

Ruyi rubbed her eyes, and asked confidently, "What's your name?"

The man looked at him and said slowly, "My name is Wu Ciren."

Ruyi hadn't woken up at first, but after hearing such a sentence, no matter how big the drowsiness was, he disappeared. He said, "Is there no such person?"

I don't know where I committed the crime, so I went away to avoid disaster!So when he yelled on the street, he hit the man's weakness, and the man took him home in a panic.

Wu Ciren nodded, but Ruyi couldn't help laughing, he sat there carelessly, blinked and said, "Master, the villain's surname is Jin, and his name is Jin Baiwan."

Wu Ciren couldn't tell what expression was on his face, but he nodded quickly, wrote the names of both people, and asked Ruyi to press his fingerprints, and then put away the contract.

Ruyi was secretly happy, thinking, he was worried that he had nowhere to go, it was a good thing, he chose a place to stay for no reason, and it didn't cost him a penny, and someone gave him money.

Ruyi rolled her eyes and said, "Master, where does the villain sleep at night?"

Wu Ciren glanced at him, and said unhurriedly, "Naturally, I will sleep in the same bed with the master, and you have to warm my feet for the master."

Wishful heart said, want to scare me, the next life!

Ruyi said with a grin, "My master underestimates a million people too much. Warm feet are nothing. For my master, a villain will do anything! As long as my master orders me, a villain can go up a mountain of swords and down a sea of ​​fire!"

Wu Ciren's eyelids tightened, and he endured it again and again, before saying, "What a slave!"

Ruyi agreed very quickly, without any hesitation.

Wu Ciren was not very angry, and called him again, "Golden million."

Ruyi shivered a little, not because of anything else, just because of the name of this soil.

Wu Ciren told him, "Although you call me master, I don't want you to serve me. My mother is still at home. I naturally have me in food and daily life, so I don't need you to intervene. There is a bed for you at home, but you don't have a mouth for you. There are pots and stoves, and there are bamboo shoots and pheasants in the bamboo grove behind the house. Behind the bamboo grove is a stream with fish and shrimp. If you want to keep your stomach from starving, you can find your own way.”

Ruyi thought to herself, thinking that if you don't give me food, you can drive me away?

Wu Ciren glanced at him and asked him, "Am I clear enough?"

Ruyi nodded quickly, then watched Wu Ciren out respectfully.

As soon as Wu Ciren left, Ruyi went to the kitchen to pick up a basket, and dug a small basket of bamboo shoots back before dinner.

Wu Ciren was not in the house, but was sitting in the backyard peeling green bamboos. Beside him was an old lady with crooked eyes, smiling and talking to Wu Ciren.

Seeing this situation, Ruyi coughed, then stepped forward respectfully, and said hello to the old lady.

Wu Ciren frowned and stared at him, and said softly to the old lady, "Mother, I picked this man back from Temple Street, and he will live with us first."

The old lady looked at Ruyi carefully, and praised him, "This child is really handsome, don't be lost by a rich family."

There seemed to be a hint of a smile in Wu Ciren's eyes, but he still said solemnly, "Then let's take good care of him, and then we can exchange some money."

Ruyi curled her lips, approached with a smile, and said, "Old man, I dug the bamboo shoots back, what shall we have for dinner?"

The old lady cheerfully said that the child was too sensible, and said affectionately, "The food at home is all Ahengyaki, so you can tell him what you want to eat."

Ruyi's eyes glanced half a circle in the yard before falling on Wu Ciren, and moved her mouth silently. Seeing his expression, Wu Ciren knew that he was going to make trouble, raised his eyebrows, and said to the old lady, "Mother, forget about it." Just to tell you, his surname is Jin, and his name is Jin Wanwan."

The old lady was overjoyed and said, "What a wonderful name." Then she asked Ruyi, "Who gave you this name?"

Ruyi's face was so long that she hated Wu Ciren to death in her heart, and she replied resentfully, "Old man, my parents left early, this name was chosen by the neighbors, don't laugh at me."

The old lady groaned, patted his head lightly, and murmured, "It's the same as our family's Ah Heng, it's all poor."

Ruyi told lies for a long time, but when the old man touched her head, she felt that her aura was completely lost, she couldn't pretend to be serious, and she was still a little guilty, so she lowered her head.

Wu Ciren was probably used to hearing this, and there was no sad expression on his face, but he just said to him, "You rest here for a while, I will call you when the meal is ready."

Ruyi watched Wu Ciren enter the house, then raised her head, breathed a sigh of relief, stretched out her hand to pull a green bamboo thread, bent it lightly, and said, "Old man, you are so old, you should enjoy the happiness That’s right! You teach me, and I’ll do it.”

The old lady let out a oops, and said quickly, "Let it go, let it go, look at your skin and tender flesh, how can you do such a thing."

Ruyi blushed a little, pretended not to hear, and said carelessly, "Old man, don't believe me, I'm so smart and skillful, I can learn this quickly. Besides, I can't eat your food for nothing, can I?" ?”

The old lady glanced at him, and said with a smile, "This child, with just this mouth, can eat enough!"

Ruyi felt embarrassed, it was really strange, his face was extremely thin when facing the old man, and he would blush every now and then.

Afterwards, the old man was still not overwhelmed, he put down the green bamboo thread embarrassingly, watched the old lady's skillful hands flying, and in a short while weaved half a sheet.

Dinner at home is also simple, in addition to meals, there is also a bamboo shoot soup.However, Wu Ciren's cooking skills are really mediocre, and nothing can be taken advantage of in terms of color, aroma, and taste.The old lady didn't say anything, she chewed slowly and ate with gusto.Ruyi reluctantly ate half a bowl, and she didn't know if she was deceived by the lard, so she put down her chopsticks and couldn't help but ask, "Can I make this meal in the future?"

Wu Ciren was drinking soup. Hearing what he said, without raising his head, he said slowly, "As long as mother can get used to eating, anyone can do it."

Ruyi muttered in her heart, just like your pig food, the old lady will get sick even if she is not sick, so she is ashamed to say it!

When the old lady heard this, she was probably afraid that he would be tired from work, so she hurriedly said, "Don't, Ah Heng is used to it, let him do it!"

Wu Ciren smiled and said nothing. Ruyi was unhappy, so he quickly coaxed the old lady and said, "I often cook at home, and this is nothing." He coughed twice, and then said, "You are still afraid of my cooking No? I’m cooking delicious food, you can try it tomorrow and then talk about it.”

When he said this, the old lady couldn't say anything, and kept telling Wu Ciren, "When you go to the city tomorrow, remember to go and make new clothes for Wanwan first."

Wu Ciren smiled lightly, looked at Ruyi, and replied, "Okay, I'll help him measure tonight."

Ruyi snickered in her heart, but she didn't show the slightest bit on her face, and said politely, "Thank you very much!"

After eating, the old lady carried a bamboo basket on her arm, and went out happily alone.

After Wu Ciren cleaned up the bowls and chopsticks and cleaned them one by one, he sat down behind the house, seemed tired, so he stretched out his hands and beat his back.

Ruyi just watched him doing things, but refused to help at all. Now that he saw this man beating his back, he hesitated for a moment. Is it?"

Wu Ciren turned to look at him, and said bluntly, "I told you the truth, I don't like people calling me that. I can pretend I didn't hear it in front of my mother. But when my mother is away, don't let me Hear those two words."

Ruyi was stunned for a moment, this person turned his face faster than turning a book.He just said hello and asked a casual question, as for that?He was also a little angry, thinking, this man is really hateful, why is he putting on airs.

Wu Ciren didn't seem to notice it at all, so he said, "I'll take you to the place where you sleep at night."

Ruyi nodded with a grin, but felt extremely upset.

The room where Wu Ciren slept was not that big, only a few dilapidated wooden boxes without even a lock on them, and there was nothing of value in it.

Wu Ciren rummaged through the box for a long time, but he couldn't find an extra quilt, so he said, "Take my old clothes and cover them first, and wait until you make a new quilt."

Ruyi knew that this man didn't want to share the same quilt with him, so she secretly laughed, so she deliberately said, "If it is hot today, there is no need to cover the quilt. Even if it is cold, I will share the same quilt with the master, why bother to spend money Come out and make a new quilt?"

Wu Ciren's eyelids twitched, and after a long time, he suddenly said, "Those who like to sleep with other people are all milk dolls whose hair hasn't even grown yet."

Ruyi thought to herself, who is the milk baby? I am over 100 years old!Compared with me, you are the one with no hair!

Although Ruyi thought so in her heart, she still had a smile on her face, and asked in a low voice, "Then you are fussing with a baby, isn't that too cheap?"

Wu Ciren let out an oh, raised his eyes to look at him, and asked, "So you are waiting for me here?"

Ruyi curled her lips, thinking, who is waiting for you.

Seeing his disapproving expression, Wu Ciren knew what was going on in his mind, and suddenly said to him very affectionately, "Take off your clothes and come here, and I'll measure you."

Ruyi was straightforward, and before Wu Ciren finished speaking, he took off his clothes two or three times, stood in front of Wu Ciren with a smile, stretched out a big flat character, and said respectfully, "Thank you, master!"

The expression on Wu Ciren's face was a little stiff, and he looked him up and down a few times.Ruyi also generously let him see that the person he was looking at was not afraid of the eye of a needle, what he was afraid of, they were all men, he had everything he should have, and there was nothing less, who was afraid of whom?

When Wu Ciren saw him like this, he didn't go to get a ruler, so he directly measured his shoulders and waist width with his hands.Ruyi was tickled by Wu Ciren's hand. She wanted to laugh, but felt that she was at a disadvantage, so she deliberately sniffed and sneezed hard at Wu Ciren.

Wu Ciren glanced at him, wiped his face expressionlessly, continued to measure for him, and only let him put on his clothes after the measurement.Ruyi resentfully picked up the clothes and pants on the floor, and put them on one by one, but Wu Ciren also took off the outer clothes, and then measured the clothes with his hands.

Ruyi approached curiously, patted Wu Ciren on the shoulder pretending to be proud, and asked, "Why, you want to make new clothes too?"

Before he finished speaking, he realized that Wu Ciren's face immediately changed when he slapped the palm down. He hurriedly raised his hand, and asked with a little guilty conscience, "Hey, are you okay?"

Wu Ciren frowned, but said indifferently, "It's nothing, I just accidentally fell."

Ruyi just shook her head in her heart, and fell to her shoulder in a wrestling, cheating a ghost!Seeing that he was obviously in pain, but still pretending to be, he said angrily, "Hey, let me take a look for you."

Unexpectedly, Wu Ciren took a look at him and refused directly, saying, "No need."

Ruyi bared her teeth, not allowing him to say any more, immediately stretched out her hand and tore off Wu Ciren's clothes, and replied unhappily, "You're not a big girl, so you're afraid of being seen?"

But when she saw the wound, Ruyi was startled.The wound stretched from the shoulder to the lower abdomen, the wound was deep, and the scab had not yet healed.

Wu Ciren pushed his hand away, snorted coldly, and said, "What does it have to do with you?" After a pause, he added, "You are not allowed to mention this matter to my mother, or you will be more attractive."

Ruyi became annoyed, and said viciously to Wu Ciren, "A good person doesn't live long, but a disaster lasts for a thousand years. For a person like you, it's hard to die even if you want to!"

Wu Ciren glanced at him, but didn't say anything, but Ruyi felt guilty first, regretting that she had spoken out loud.

Wu Ciren seemed to think that he was very funny, so he said, "Actually, you have a good appearance, but it's a pity that you only have this mouth.

Ruyi snorted, and said, "You, fortunately, you still have a little bit of filial piety, but it's just a little bit of filial piety, how can it be a pity to put it on you?"

Wu Ciren didn't bother to quarrel with him, and said slowly, "Yes, you've seen just such a little filial piety."

Ruyi stared at him with her mouth open, wanting to say something, but didn't know what to say.Wu Ciren glanced at him and didn't speak, but the expression on his face couldn't be more clear, that is... I think he's annoying.

He coughed twice, and asked embarrassingly, "You are so seriously injured, why don't you take good care of yourself at home, why do you go to the city every day?"

Wu Ciren said as a matter of course, "Go to the city to sell vegetables and support your family. Otherwise, what do you think you are doing?"

Ruyi gritted her teeth, closed her mouth and looked at him, feeling rather resentful that iron could not be made into steel.

Back then, the Zeng family made a fortune because the fishing ancestor rescued Mother Long's beloved daughter. Mother Long gave him an auspicious jade pendant as a thank you. That jade was actually their sibling's Original body.

For mortal people, if they have two siblings, they will have good luck and everything will go smoothly.

The man got the jade pendant and knew how valuable it was, so he wore it with him.The next day, he went out to sea to cast a net again, and actually fished out a priceless stone inkstone. Naturally, the fisherman didn't understand the benefits of that thing, so he offered it to the county magistrate, and offered it all the way to the emperor's hands.Therefore, if you are extremely prosperous, you will not only gain fame and fortune, but also shade your descendants.

This rural Wu Ciren is really stupid, ignorant and ignorant, he is wishful, although he is the only one by his side now, if this person wants to be more unlucky from now on, I'm afraid it will be even more difficult.I'm afraid that in another half a month, this person will be lucky, and he will no longer have to go to the city to sell vegetables and struggle to make ends meet.

When the old lady came back at night, Wu Ciren cleaned up the things at hand, and went over to pick up the old lady's bamboo basket.Ruyi also followed, full of curiosity, wondering what the old lady brought back from her trip.

There are all kinds of embroidered sachets in the bamboo basket, as well as wooden combs of different sizes and shapes. Ruyi likes those delicately tied knots, and she can't put them down when she picks them up.

"Are you going to sell these in the city?" he asked Wu Ciren.

Wu Ciren saw that he took those wishful concentric knots and turned them over and over in his hands. He should really like them, so he said to him, "There is also the rouge and gouache that I collected a while ago, if you want to take a closer look."

Ruyi glared at him, and said angrily, "Don't dare to use an axe."

The old lady sat for a while, took a sip of the herbal tea brought by Wu Ciren, and suddenly asked Wu Ciren, "Ah Heng, it's almost the fifteenth day of the Lunar New Year. When are we going to pay respects to the Kongyun Temple in the city?"

Ruyi glanced at Wu Ciren secretly, seeing the unhappy but forbearing expression on his face, it really made people laugh.

It took Wu Ciren a long time to say reluctantly, "Mother, there is too much incense in that place, and there are so many people, what should I do if I go and squeeze you?"

Ruyi snickered in her heart, how could this person be so stupid, the more the incense burns, the more the old man will go!

Sure enough, the old lady frowned and said, "This child, if the incense burns well, it means that it will be effective. Of course I want to go! You go with me, and millions of people will go too. Let's go to the temple to ask for a lottery."

Ruyi looked at Wu Ciren's dumb man eating yellow lotus, and felt happy with his unspeakable expression of suffering.When the old lady went back to rest, Ruyi poked him with her arm and asked, "Hey, why do you hate Kongyun Temple so much?"

Wu Ciren's face was serious, and he scolded angrily, "A group of meddlers, what do you want?"

Ruyi listened curiously and said, "Who is meddling?"

Wu Ciren glanced at him, and suddenly asked, "Aren't you afraid of being recognized when you go to Kongyun Temple?"

Ruyi's heart skipped a beat, and she immediately stared at Wu Ciren.

Wu Ciren nodded, and said, "It's fine if you get caught, just don't get me involved."

Ruyi glared at him, and said unwillingly, "How can you be so unlucky!"

He and his sister have always lived in seclusion in Zeng's mansion, and they can count on the fingers of one hand the people they have met, let alone be recognized by others.

Wu Ciren yawned and said, "Don't talk about this, I'm going to sleep."

Ruyi went to wash up with him resentfully, but she had a small plan in her heart.This person is afraid that he is going to enter the city tomorrow, so why not go with him, and check out the news of the Zeng Mansion by the way, to see how the situation is going.
