Chapter 557

Zhou Shuren recalled Deng Xiucai. When he came to the capital to buy a house, Deng Xiucai helped a lot. Friends of Zhao Bo, yes, he remembered that Deng Xiucai had a brother-in-law who was the servant of the household department. One family was confiscated, the servant was beheaded, and the family seemed to be relegated to the ancestral land for three generations and not allowed to conduct scientific research.

Jin Yan brought someone in, Zhou Shuren almost didn't recognize Deng Xiucai, Deng Xiucai used to be well-dressed, with a fan in his hand, he looked like a young man, but now he was dressed in coarse cloth, and the hairpins on his head were replaced with wooden ones, making him much older.

Therefore, Zhou Shuren understood that it was Deng Xiucai's brother-in-law who ransacked the house. That's right, Deng Xiucai's brother-in-law had a bit of trouble in the capital back then. It was all a network of connections, so Deng Xiucai's brother-in-law had problems from beginning to end. .

Deng Xiucai stirred his sleeves with his fingers, the temperature in the room was very warm, his fingertips were itchy due to the freezing temperature, and his eyes were a little uneasy, "My lord."

Zhou Shuren withdrew his gaze, so it was better to rely on himself than to rely on anyone. It used to be so beautiful, but now it is so desolate. "Deng Xiucai, we are old acquaintances, sit down."

Seeing that the words were not polite, Deng Xiucai sat down cautiously, "Thank you, sir."

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

Deng Xiucai took a sip of his tea. How long has it been since he drank such a good tea? Thinking of his current home, only he and his son are left. His parents passed away, his wife reconciled, heh, and took away his daughter. The daughter grew up well, and the young son was left to himself.

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

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

He was unwilling 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 heart 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. Mr. Zhou, the more he inquired, the more confident he was. Hope, "Yes."

Zhou Shuren recognized Deng Xiucai's ability. He is a man of three teachings and nine streams. "You came here to seek refuge?"

frankly,

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

Deng Xiucai slowed down his breathing to calm himself down. He needed to calm down, "Yes, I am willing to work my life for 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 deeply, but there is one in front of him. Now that he has experienced downfall, 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, and he couldn't believe it, "Sir, don't you want to check?"

Zhou Shuren smiled, "I mean show me the proof. If there is an inspection period, the certificate will remain, and those who fail will leave."

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

Zhou Shuren hummed, reached out to touch the purse, but then froze, the money in the purse was almost spent, it seemed that there was not much money left, if I knew it, I would have kept some, he couldn’t do without the money, from Deng Xiucai’s words You know that the situation is difficult when you wear it, "You have some snacks and sit down for a while."

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

Deng Xiucai waited for the adults to leave, feeling extraordinarily complicated. He didn't take it seriously when they met for the first time. Zhou Shuren became the second place again. Now he needs to look up and silently pick up the pastry. He hasn't eaten it for a long time. Smile, so climb up!

Zhou Shuren called for words and deeds, "How many taels do you have now?"

Jinyan was stunned for a moment, "More than one thousand taels."

Shen Xing blinked his eyes, what is the lord going to do, his eyes are a little wandering, when he was not following the lord, he used to resell antiques to save money, entangled, "Five, five thousand taels."

Zhou Shuren was silent, so did he ask something serious? These two people really have money, and prudent behavior is the deepest hidden one!

Shen Xing found himself exposed and got nervous, so did he and Jin Yan make a fool of themselves?

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

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

Jinyan laughed dryly, "My lord, what money should we bring with you when we go out?"

In the past, I didn't have to spend my own money.

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

Zhou Shuren was so depressed that he wanted to vomit blood, why didn't he find out that these two people were also picky before? Zhou Shuren gritted his teeth as he stared at the broken silver that was less than one tael, "Aren't you afraid that you will run out of silver when you go out without any silver?"

Jinyan looked down at the sky, "Hey, my lord, there are still quite a few people who rob houses, so it's okay to come out."

Shen Xing answered, "Besides, the government has a warrant for arrest, and those who are running out of money will take on one or two jobs."

Zhou Shuren, "..."

So just don't spend a penny on yourself.

Zhou Shuren gritted his teeth. To put it bluntly, he still needs to borrow money. It’s a pitfall. I don’t know much about it in the capital. After a while, I can’t borrow it. In the end, it’s Master Wang who helped me. Lord Wang said that I would borrow one hundred taels of silver."

He slipped away swiftly, "Yes."

Zhou Shuren was very embarrassed when he returned to the living room. Who would have thought that he had no money in his purse. Seeing Deng Xiucai looking at him, "Who else is at home now?"

After Deng Xiucai ate a few dim sum, he was no longer hungry, and he spoke confidently, "I still have my son with me, he is six years old."

Zhou Shuren frowned, "Where do you live?"

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

"The child is alone at home."

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

Zhou Shuren ordered the table, "Bring the child over here, and the child will return to Jinzhou with me tomorrow."

Deng Xiucai knew in his heart that Mr. Zhou was not being kind, but he strangled the child, and he still didn't trust him. However, his 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 Jinzhou Zhou Mansion, the doctor has already left. Zhulan looked at Su Xuan who hadn't regained her composure. Well, she wasn't pregnant. She really screwed herself over!
