"My disciple's family was in decline and his life was a bit difficult, so he thought of going to Chang'an to seek refuge with a distant relative to see if he could find a way out. Unexpectedly, the relative was not found, and his wife caught a cold instead.
I can’t afford to be sick…”
I still brought my wife here——
Wang Zi'an looked at the thin clothes on Xue Guiren's body, and instantly imagined a bloody plot for him, in which he was unable to find his relatives, fell into poverty on the street, Qin Qiong sold his horse, and Yang Zhi sold his knife.
Upon closer inspection, it turns out they are pretty much the same.
The young couple had spent so much time and money that they arrived all the way to Chang'an. It turned out that the distant relative had already moved away with his family.
The two had no choice but to temporarily stay in a small inn, trying to find a way to make a living, and then return to their hometown after saving up enough travel expenses.
result--
On the second day after checking into the inn, Xue Rengui's wife developed a high fever.
Ask the doctor to get some decoction and make some preparations.
The person has not recovered yet, and the money has been spent——
Therefore, in order to treat his wife's illness, Xue Rengui sold everything he could. In the past few days, he had worked as a footman and a small laborer, but with that little money, it was difficult to eat, let alone see a doctor.
He can only go out of the city to hunt.
I was lucky today and encountered a nest of pheasants.
I originally thought that by selling these pheasants, I could catch some more decoctions for my wife, but I met Wang Zi'an and others.
What a miserable man!
Wang Zi'an couldn't help but grin secretly.
He listened there with great interest, and Princess Changle next to her had red eyes.
"So, your wife is still sick in the inn..."
Having said this, she immediately turned around, blinked her big beautiful eyes, and looked at Wang Zi'an with sympathy.
"Wang Zi'an, Wang Zi'an, your apprentice is so miserable -"
"However, it sounds similar to the Uncle Qin in your "Heroes of the Sui and Tang Dynasties" - cough, Qin Shubao..."
Xue Rengui:......
He knew that "The Heroes of the Sui and Tang Dynasties" was being serialized in the Tang Evening News.
Although he has not read it, as one of the biggest selling points, the story being serialized has already become popular in Chang'an City.
Let's put it this way, even if you are illiterate, as long as you walk around the street with your ears, you can understand this story in detail.
I don’t know if that story is true or not, but it sounds like Qin Shubao is such a miserable man——
Looking at the charming and innocent Princess Changle, Xue Rengui couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth, intending to complain, but in the end it turned into a silent sigh.
Don't tell me, I am really a miserable man.
Wang Zi'an was almost amused by the girl's sudden attention.
Suppressing a smile, I threw the last few snacks into my mouth under Xue Rengui's reluctant eyes. Don't ask about the taste, just that they are not as delicious as the ones you make yourself.
But what you want when you go out for a walk is this kind of fun.
"In that case, let's go to the inn first to see your wife——"
Wang Zi'an took out a few big coins, threw them on the table, clapped his hands, and stood up.
Li Yuan and Pei Ji naturally had nothing to do with each other, they were just strolling around for fun anyway.
Just in the West Market, there is a quite small inn.
The place is remote and the environment and hygiene are not very good.
"Xue Dalang is back. Have you received your wages today? The room fee cannot be delayed any longer -"
Xue Rengui cupped his hands at the other party in embarrassment.
"Later, forget it later - I met some friends today, come and see them and then go..."
The shopkeeper took a look at Wang Zi'an, Li Yuan and others, and saw that the clothes and demeanor of these people were not like ordinary people. He knew that Xue Rengui might have met a noble person.
He immediately stopped urging him and instead smiled at him in a friendly manner.
"It's not that I'm being harsh, it's mainly because I'm a small business. If there's anything I haven't taken good care of, please forgive me, Mr. Xue -"
There was an inexplicable smell in the store. Wang Zi'an glanced at the environment and frowned slightly, but said nothing and followed Xue Rengui to the second floor.
Standing at the door, Xue Rengui knocked gently.
"Is your husband back?"
"Yes, I will bring Master and a few friends over to see you -"
Hearing the weak voice of his wife coming from inside, Xue Rengui responded, then opened the door and let a few people in.
The room was small and simple, and there was no stove. As soon as people walked in, they just felt cold and cold, not as warm as the sunshine outside.
Seeing that her husband had brought several guests with gorgeous clothes and extraordinary bearings, the woman on the bed struggled a little and seemed to want to sit up, but failed.
Then he panted slightly and smiled apologetically at Wang Zi'an and others.
"I'm rude—"
Wang Zi'an glanced at the woman on the bed, who was beautiful and dignified, with a gentle temperament, but her face was thin and there was an abnormal blush on her cheeks.
"Sister is not in good health, you don't need to greet us, just lie down -"
Princess Changle said and pushed Wang Zi'an forward.
"Why are you standing there stupidly? Why don't you come and help this sister-"
Wang Zi’an:……
This is still a hothead!
In fact, just now, when Wang Zi'an took a look, he had already made a general judgment, but he still took the pulse carefully and found that the wind and cold were just a little serious, nothing serious, so he smiled and comforted him.
"It's okay. I'm just tired from traveling, eating and sleeping in the open, and I feel anxious. I caught a bit of cold. Now some viruses have entered my body. It's not a serious illness. I'll be fine in a couple of days."
After saying that, Wang Zi'an glanced at the simple and deserted room and stood up.
"Take some time to clean up and come live with me. It will also be convenient for you to recover from your illness——"
Xue Rengui did not hesitate this time and nodded very simply.
The master-disciple relationship in this era is really like that of father and son. If you kowtow and become a disciple, you are almost like a family.
Initially, Xue Rengui's wife was a little hesitant, but when Xue Rengui told him that this handsome young man was his master, she agreed with a shocked look on her face.
My husband actually worshiped such a young master?
It wasn't until Xue Rengui was carried into the carriage and told him that her master was Prince An, the Marquis of Chang'an, that the young woman breathed a sigh of relief.
Marquis of Chang'an, I have heard that benevolence and virtue can lead to numerous living beings and thousands of families becoming Buddhas.
Wang Zi'an's mansion, among other things, is huge!
There are seven or eight across the hospital alone.
The three masters and apprentices of Yun Xuzi lived in the west courtyard, and the east courtyard was occupied by Li Shimin and Cheng Yaojin in advance, but it didn't matter, there were other courtyards. Wang Zi'an waved his hand and directly allocated the courtyard next to the east cross courtyard.
Xue Rengui and his wife.
As a young couple, there is no need to squeeze into the same courtyard as yourself.
Well, it's not that I'm afraid of them being a bitch, it's mainly that I'm afraid that it will be inconvenient for the young couple.
Not long after he settled Xue Rengui and his wife here, he was taking Li Yuan and Princess Changle to see the decoration of his backyard, when he saw the steward who was helping him decorate his backyard hurry up to greet him.
"Master Marquis, you came just in time. We have a question we want to ask you-"
