Because it had just rained heavily overnight, the road was muddy everywhere, and the ground was a mess of flowers, leaving a bit of desolation and desolation.
When he first woke up in the morning, Xiao Bing went out with a bamboo basket on his back to ask for a living. A Sheng kept an eye on him and secretly chased after him, wanting to see who hurt his brother.
Xiao Bing went up to the mountains to chop some firewood, and carried it to the market to sell.It is said to be a market, but it is actually very desolate and deserted, with very few pedestrians.However, compared with other places, the population of Qiao County is already in a good condition, at least it is not a miserable state of starvation.
Ah Sheng hid in the corner of the house on the street, watching Xiao Bing choose a seat and sit down, spread out the firewood in front of him, yelling and waiting for the buyer.
But even the pedestrians were few and far between. Xiao Bing yelled for a long time, but the eucalyptus wood in front of him was still motionless.Seeing the sun's direction gradually shifting with the passage of time, Xiao Bing's mouth was dry.
"Xiao Bing!" Ah Sheng couldn't bear the pain, she ran out quickly, looked around where there were only a few passers-by, "Since it can't be sold, let's not sell it."
"Sister, why are you here?" Xiao Bing called out in surprise when he saw her suddenly appearing in front of him unexpectedly.
A Sheng ignored his startled question, and picked up the eucalyptus logs on the ground and bundled them together, not knowing how he felt: "Let's go."
"Then how do you earn money for the medicine?" Xiao Bing hurried forward to stop him.
A Sheng lowered his head and took a look at the Pisces pendant on his waist, the snow-white color glowed with a clear and clear light under the sun.It is transparent all over, the carving is exquisite and exquisite, and the lines are clear and beautiful, but because she temporarily lost the memory of the past, she does not know who gave this valuable jade ring.
In the past, he didn't dare to sell it for money because he was afraid that it would be a gift from some important person, but now he is in an extremely difficult situation, and A Sheng has no choice but to let go of it.
At least, pawning it can get a lot of money, which is enough for their expenses for a period of time, and it is also enough to support the medical expenses of the sick father.
Xiao Bing has already been weak due to long-term malnutrition, and his tall and straight height is skinny, which is even more unbearable.That money should also be saved to raise some chickens and ducks to supplement his nutrition.
"Sister has her own way." Ah Sheng comforted Xiao Bing, who was restless, and took his brother's hand to find a pawn shop on the side of the road.
Xiao Bing didn't know what she was looking for, and looked at her sister suspiciously: "Sister, what are you doing?"
"Go somewhere and we'll make a lot of money."
After searching for a long time, a pawnshop finally came into view, with the words "Juzhen Pavilion" written on a large gold plaque.
It was only then that Xiao Bing realized what she was going to do, and a wave of shock immediately set off in his heart, he hurriedly pulled her arm back, trying to stop A Sheng from moving forward.
"Sister, Xiao Bing, no matter what, even if you work hard, you won't make sacrifices."
"It's okay, this jade pendant is useless to me."
A Sheng pulled his arm away, quickly ran into the gate, and looked at the surrounding furnishings.This pawn shop seems to have a long history, and there is a faint fragrance from every corner, and the air is filled with a simple and quiet atmosphere.
There are many unattainable treasures preserved on the surrounding wooden shelves, including jade statues with lovely shapes, exquisitely carved and magnificent nanmu screens, and even a few bronze shelves from the palace. Palace lantern.A Sheng glanced at it, she was dizzy, and she couldn't help being dazzled.
The boss is a middle-aged man with a kind face. When he heard the footsteps of someone in the shop, he looked up. Seeing that she was dressed plainly, he guessed that this slender woman should be here to pawn things, and he couldn't help but feel pity in his heart.
"Girl, what do you want to be?"
Sitting next to him was a man in a well-dressed suit, who was studying the chess game on the table with his head down. He should have been playing chess with the boss just now.
A Sheng borrowed the Pisces pendant from his waist and handed it to the boss: "Estimate the price, how much is it worth?"
As soon as her words came out, it was like a breeze blowing across the calm water of an ancient well, causing gentle and shocking ripples to appear in an instant.
The man who had been at his desk concentrating on the chess game suddenly raised his head when he heard the voice,
"A Sheng?" After seeing her face clearly, the man was obviously surprised.He immediately stood up and approached her body gently.
He blinked his dark eyelashes like crow feathers a few times, arousing Ah Sheng's mood.His eyes are very bright, like obsidian shining from ancient times, directly shining into her heart.
A Sheng didn't dare to look at his face anymore, he just felt that Hua Yuyue was silent at this moment, only this handsome man in front of him was left in the world.
Her breathing stopped involuntarily, and she could only hear the beating heart in her chest clearly.
Ah Sheng only felt that the man in front of him was very familiar, as if he had a fateful bond with her in the past. This subtle feeling crazily knocked on her nerves, making her hang her head in panic, and murmured: "Who are you?"
The man's eyes dimmed for an instant, like the morning sun fading away like the dawn.
"Why do you have to be so alienated from me." His tone was light, and his expression was full of disappointment and melancholy.
A Sheng didn't know what he meant, but felt baffled: "Young master, why did you say that?"
"That's all." The man frowned and asked, "Why did you come here?"
"I'm here to pawn this jade pendant. The family is really struggling, and I want to sell it for a good price." She said, looking at the kind boss beside her.
"Wait." The man beckoned the boss to hand him the Pisces Pendant, put it in his hand and looked at it carefully, and asked in surprise, "Is this a gift from Xun Wenruo?"
Who is Xun Wenruo?Although she vaguely felt that the name was very familiar, she couldn't remember what the owner of the name looked like.
A Sheng frowned and tried hard to recall, those memories of the past were already coming out, but they were locked in the depths of the memory buried in the smoke and dust, making it impossible for her to break free from the imprisonment.
"I would like to offer a price of [-] baht. I don't know what the girl wants?" The boss thought that her expression of painful struggle was embarrassing, and he wanted her to get rid of her entangled thoughts in an empathetic way, and also signaled the man not to ask any more questions. go down.
A Sheng nodded in surprise when she heard this, the price was already higher than she had imagined, so she couldn't help laughing excitedly.
"I would like to buy it at a price of two thousand baht." Suddenly, the man who fell into silence at the side said.
"Meng De—" the boss looked at him suspiciously.
A Sheng was even more surprised, she didn't know why the man was so generous to her.
The man named Meng De spoke softly, lowered his head and stroked the white jade in his hand: "It's just that I think it's very eye-catching, and I have no other intentions."
He handed a heavy purse to A Sheng, his eyes full of deep sadness.He watched her walk out of the gate, gradually out of sight, trying to put his mind fully into the chess game, but he couldn't help wandering to her.
"Is there still a girl in this world that you Cao Mengde has been thinking about but can't get?" The boss is so transparent and open-minded, he can see through Cao Cao's thoughts at a glance.
"It's more than just thinking about it, it's already a night of sleepless thinking." As soon as he said this, he couldn't help laughing at himself, "I didn't expect it to be just wishful thinking."
He couldn't help recalling A Sheng's expression and words just now, she actually asked who he was.It seemed that she hated him so much that she even pretended not to recognize him.
But how could she be in Qiao County?
No matter how hard Cao Cao thought about it, he still couldn't understand the reason for her sudden appearance.

Changan.
After Dong Zhuo moved his capital to Chang'an from Luoyang, he was attacked by the eighteen princes of the world because of his lewdness and tyranny, and died at the hands of his adopted son Lu Bu.
I thought the capital would be stable from now on, but I didn't want Dong Zhuo's subordinates, Li Jue and Guo Si, to return to Chang'an, forcing his loyal minister Situ Wang Yun to death, and proclaiming himself the Great General of Sima, causing chaos in the court again.
After gaining power, the two were still dissatisfied, and started to kill each other again. One robbed the emperor, and the other held the minister hostage. The pitiful Emperor Xiandi, a majestic man and real dragon, was treated as a pawn of power by these two rebellious officials. There is no dignity at all. .
"Concubine Tang, the lunch has been delivered." The servant bowed his head respectfully, holding the food box in his hands and presenting it to Tang Ling.
She took it carefully but couldn't help being puzzled. Hearing that Emperor Xian was imprisoned in Li Jue's camp without food supplies, she herself had delicious and sumptuous meals delivered to her every day, and her clothes were also made of exquisite silk, just like the royal concubine's. official specifications.
But every time she curiously asked the maid whose special care it was, the latter always faltered and perfunctory, which aroused her determination to find out even more.
Tang Ling pretended to be an ordinary court lady, took off her makeup and mixed into their crowd, quietly sitting behind the stone pillar and peeping.
Suddenly, she happened to see the ladies in front of her talking in whispers, Tang Ling pricked up her ears, and heard one of the louder and more prominent voices:
"It is said that Jia Shangshu has been highly respected by Li Jue and Guo Si lord recently, especially Li Jue lord has been wooing him."
As soon as Tang Ling heard about Jia Shangshu, she immediately raised her spirits and moved forward to talk, trying to listen more carefully.
"That's right, Jia Shangshu's plan is very poisonous. Of course, Li Jue is reluctant to give him a plan. If he is allowed to help Guo Bang, wouldn't he be defeated?"
"Oh, it is said that he is full of tricks. Doesn't it all depend on him for the suffering of the people of Chang'an? Dong thief is dead, and the world can be calmed down. It is this Jia Xu who turned Kyushu upside down again." A man with a double bun The palace maid took up the conversation.
"What did sister mean just now?" Tang Ling was startled and anxious when she heard what they were talking about Jia Xu just now, but she could only restrain herself and pretend to be a little maid who didn't understand, and asked in a low voice.
The maid with double buns didn't look back at Tang Ling, she just pretended to be an ordinary listener, and suddenly she wanted to show off, and said incessantly: "After the death of Dong thief that day, the soldiers and horses he brought over from Xiliang Fleeing in a hurry, Jia Xu advised Li Jue and Guo Si not to rush back to Liangzhou, and told them to hurry back to Chang'an, saying that there would be supreme officials and honors waiting for them. No, he used his own To mess up the world with the power of power, just for the sake of your own glory and wealth, it is simply a sin."
Tang Ling suddenly understood who was responsible for her recent sudden good food and clothing.
The moment Xin listened to the maid's narration, she felt like a boulder falling to the bottom of the valley, crushing her until she couldn't breathe.
Why did Wen He, whom she loves so much, do so many evils, and make people's lives miserable, becoming a nightmare among the people.
