Mrs. Tai is really rich

Chapter 34 Extra Story: Anecdotes About Xie Ruqing
In the windy and rainy late spring in March, the willows piled up with smoke, and the bohemian nobleman drove a luxurious carriage and horses on the busy street, overturning an unknown number of stalls and raising a lot of dust and smoke. Instead of feeling ashamed of it, he took pleasure in it, and finally dropped a few copper coins.

Xie Ruqing's booth was one of the many stalls that suffered, but Xie Ruqing seemed to have gotten used to it for a long time, she just silently helped up her own booth, put up calligraphy and paintings again, stood on the street, and continued to wait for people to patronize.

Standing on less than three inches of land, guarding a small stall with little business, mingling in the chaos of the market, wearing coarse linen clothes, without any decoration, and thin body is Xie Ruqing's current status quo.

Being poor, down and out, not knowing how to be flexible, offending the examiners, refusing to take the scientific examination, getting his wife to give him a cuckold and running away with others, are other people's evaluation of him.

I believe that no one will believe that after so many years, Xie Ruqing, the joke of the world today, will eventually become the Duke of Yan who dominates the world.

Rumors did not bring down Xie Ruqing. For him, the sorrow of his family's decline, the blockage of the imperial examination road, and the difficulties in children's education have not yet knocked him down, let alone mere rumors.

The world laughed at him for being ignorant of the world, and he laughed at the world for being drunk.

"You are so handsome, sir, how can this painting be sold?" A middle-aged woman wearing gold ornaments walked to Xie Ruqing's booth and said.

"500 liters for a painting, 200 liters for a pair of words, no bargaining."

"Yo, it's a bit more expensive than others, but it's worth it if Mr. Lang is so good-looking." Then, the woman took out five hundred Wen and put it on the stall. Xie Ruqing was reaching for it, but the woman Suddenly holding down the copper coin tightly, he said: "It's just that I don't like the paintings on this booth. I want Mr. Lang to go to my mansion to draw a picture of a lady for me. I'd like to give you a tael of silver. I don't know if Mr. Wang is willing." ah."

The woman's voice was not too loud, and it happened that all the nearby stall owners heard it. Everyone looked at Xie Ruqing with a playful look.

Xie Ruqing looked indifferent, as if she didn't hear this.

"Don't worry, I don't have a husband. My husband is already dead. If you are willing to paint for me, no one will bother you and me." The woman's words were very explicit, and Sima Zhao's heart was well known to all passers-by.

Xie Ruqing just started to clean up the calligraphy and paintings in her hands under the eyes of everyone watching. The woman thought that Xie Ruqing had agreed. At that moment, she was overjoyed and wanted to grab Xie Ruqing's hand, but Xie Ruqing dodged her body, her eyes seemed to be knotted Like a layer of ice, right?He said one word with a blank face: "Get lost."

The woman only felt that her limbs were cold, as if being entangled by a poisonous snake.

"You...you! Don't be ignorant. Your daughter-in-law has run away with others. I think highly of you! The whole street belongs to my family! If you dare not listen to me, I tell you, from now on! Don't even think about setting up a stall here! I'll see what you eat and drink!" After the woman came back to her senses, she was a little annoyed at the moment, and she was actually frightened by a bereaved dog with only appearance, and then she snarled at each other.

"As you please." Xie Ruqing packed up her things, pushed her own car, and answered the word "woman" indifferently, as if she didn't care.

"You wait for me! I can't spare you! You..." The woman's scolding voice sounded from behind Xie Ruqing immediately, her words were extremely ugly and unbearable.

This is the seventh woman Xie Ruqing has met this month who has unreasonable thoughts about him, and it is also the seventh street he changed, and it is also the last street in this city. Since then, Xie Ruqing can no longer set up a stall to sell calligraphy and paintings in a legitimate manner.

Thinking of the seven children in the family (two of her stepbrothers and five of her own) who were waiting to be fed, and the old and frail parents who needed to take medicine, Xie Ruqing felt that she was a bit willful and irresponsible.

But in this world, life is one breath. If you live in the appearance you hate the most, how can you set a good example and raise your children well?
But in life, if you can't even take care of food and clothing at home, is fame really that important?
This is a question that Xie Ruqing often thinks about, and it is also the question that he thinks is the most difficult for him to make a decision at the moment. Some people may laugh at him for being contradictory, so they look down on him, but if he has a choice, there will be no conflict.

Of course, he believed that "leaving room" came out by himself.Just as one will succeed and ten thousand bones will dry up.

Although he is not a general, he is just a literati, but he is like a chess player, seeking a way out in an endgame called "Tianxia". It often takes a lot of patience and time to solve the endgame. He is just waiting, waiting for that day 's arrival

He is not a loyal guard who is dedicated to serving the country without selfishness, nor is he an exquisite self-interested person who puts interests first. If the former is black and the latter is white, he is the "gray" between the two.

Thinking of this, Xie Ruqing strengthened her gaze and continued to walk towards his dilapidated home.

On the way home, he brought a bag of fried chestnuts with sugar, which is the children's favorite food. Although life is hard, he will never forget to bring a bag of fried chestnuts with sugar for the children when he returns home.

When he returned home, the children were waiting for him at the door with his elderly mother, just like in the past, and the fragrant chestnut fragrance also wafted into the children's noses.

Under the expectant eyes of the children, Xie Ruqing took out the bag of chestnuts, and the children rushed up and snatched away.

"Tianze, you came back very early today." Mother Xie said.

"Well, something happened, and the stall was closed early."

"But I was made things difficult again... Sigh..."

"Mother doesn't have to worry so much, it's a trivial matter, don't worry about it."

"It's me and your father who got you in trouble. If the two of us weren't so good at gambling when we were young, we wouldn't have ruined our family property..."

Xie Ruqing's parents were a pair of gamblers. They were addicted to gambling when they were young. They also met at the gambling table.

However, the birth of Xie Ruqing at that time did not arouse the sense of responsibility of the two of them. They still regarded the gambling house as their home. If they were not caught gambling and sent to prison later, I am afraid they would not have woken up.

"Mother is serious. My son has hands and feet, and he is full of knowledge. As long as my son is willing, sooner or later he will have a bright future."

Although Xie Ruqing's parents are unreliable, Xie Ruqing has always respected them very much. He never resented them for losing their family property. Taking care of him in every possible way, even though he was living in hardship, he never wanted to abandon him or beat him up.

"How is father today?"

"Oh, your father's health is getting worse and worse. Today, the doctor was invited to see him again, and a new prescription was prescribed, but this time the medicine is twice as expensive as last time."

"The doctor also refused to let us pay on credit anymore. He said when the money was paid and when he would give medicine..."

The mother and son chattered all the way, and what they said was all about money.

When night fell, Xie Ruqing pondered for a long time in front of the window, and finally seemed to have made a very difficult decision, blew out the oil lamp, and then silently climbed over the wall and left the house.

On the second day, beside the moat, the boatman who got up early and the woman who came to fetch water found a wealthy businessman with a bruised nose and a swollen face who was still in a coma. After a lesson, he was caught. This man is still alive, but after the rich businessman woke up, he cried and said that the valuable gold and silver treasures in his home were robbed!
　Today's 4.1 day is special and I'm not in the mood to write more casually. Please forgive me.
