After reading my mind, Daddy, why don't you smile?

Chapter 223 Wei Yuan steals the quilt

Shangguan Shu faced the "stealing the bell while covering his ears" and broke into the house. He weighed the two taels of silver in his hand and found that he was still three taels short of buying a sheep.

Shangguan Shu returned to the yard and began to sharpen his axe at night. He was going to go to the mountain to chop firewood and sell it tomorrow.

……

A quiet circle of graves.

The dry grave soil suddenly loosened, and a hand emerged from the soil.

After a cup of tea, Wei Yuan stood naked at the gate of Shangguan Shu's yard.

He shivered from the cold, covering his lower body with one hand and using the other to knock on the door.

Buckle.

After knocking, Wei Yuan regained some consciousness. He had been confused before.

Why knock on the door like this?

Why is he here?

Not dressed yet?

He wouldn't be raped by this pervert, would he?

There was some inexplicable emotion in Wei Yuan's clear and stupid eyes.

He only remembered that he was drinking at home, and then a group of men in black broke in, grabbed his neck without saying a word, and then he lost consciousness.

No, he fainted, they put him...

click-

a bolt from the blue--

Wei Yuan was being chopped to pieces. In the yard, Shangguan Shu, who was sharpening an axe, heard someone knocking on the door. He put down the axe and stood up to see what was going on. He was also being chopped to pieces.

What's happening here?

Why is Wei Yuan here?

Not dressed yet?

In the wild mountains and wilderness, he must have been eating vegetarian food all day and his head and eyes must have become dizzy.

Shangguan Shu blinked hard and looked again before he was sure that he was not mistaken.

Then, a feeling of disgust crept up from the bottom of my heart to my face.

Why is Wei Fu’s brother like this?

Is there something wrong with the Wei family members' brains?

Could it be that he was driven mad by the scandal?

Three questions in a row.

The atmosphere was extremely strange.

Until Shangguan Shu coughed twice and started to greet each other.

Two former colleagues who were fairly familiar with each other now met again in such a deserted place, late at night, and in such an awkward situation. It was really worthwhile for them to have a good chat.

After all, it is quite difficult to have nothing in the right time, place and people.

"Brother Wei, how are you?"

Shangguan Shu bowed.

Wei Yuan also reacted. When he saw Shangguan Shu, another thunder exploded in his mind. Then, he followed Shangguan Shu's actions and wanted to return the greeting, "Don't come..."

Just as he was about to raise his hand, he discovered a problem.

He can't do the bowing gesture now.

Once you do it, you can’t hide it anymore.

Wei Yuan was also a "smart" person and quickly came up with a good idea.

He suddenly turned around, facing Shangguan Shu, stretched his arms behind his back, and clasped his hands, "How are you these days, my lord?"

Shangguan Shu looked at Wei Yuan's big white butt, and the words "not bad" were stuck in his throat like a dead fly.

Fortunately, Wei Yuan covered his lower body and turned around.

It’s better to meet an acquaintance than not to meet him.

Wei Yuan was touched, especially when Shangguan Shu said, "The weather is cold, why don't you come in and talk?" Wei Yuan's heart was warmed even more.

Wei Yuan entered the yard and saw the dilapidated scene in front of him. He was puzzled and lamented. He wanted to ask why Master Shangguan was like this, but due to his own situation, the most urgent thing now was to ask Shangguan Shu for a set of clothes to cover his body.

"Prince, can you give me a set of clothes?"

This really stumped Shangguan Shu.

Given his current financial situation, he is the only cloth in the house that he wears.

These days, he often regretted why he only asked Liao Mu to leave one set of clothes.

Shangguan Shu couldn't help laughing when he thought about this.

He recalled a storybook he had read when he was young. A family was so poor that they only had one set of clothes. So whoever had to go out wore the clothes, and those who stayed at home hid in the quilt. Later, when there was no quilt left, they buried the clothes in the soil...

Shangguan Shu shook his head.

Wei Yuan's mind clicked again.

Shangguan Shu put his fist to his mouth and coughed lightly, as if to hide his embarrassment. "To be honest, I only have one set of clothes at home. If Brother Wei doesn't mind, I have another quilt."

Wei Yuan: …

Wei Yuan wrapped himself in the quilt in a daze and sat on the cold, hard earthen kang.

Shangguan Shu handed over a bowl of water.

Wei Yuan's teeth were chattering from the cold. Seeing this, he quickly picked up the bowl, put it to his mouth and took a sip.

ho-

Wei Yuan's face was wrinkled like an old lady.

This water is colder than his heart...

Shangguan Shu pretended not to see it and sat down next to Wei Yuan (in fact, he didn't want to be so close to him, mainly because there were no chairs in the room).

"Brother Wei, why are you here?"

"I'm not too sure. I was drinking at home when a group of men in black suddenly broke in and strangled me. I passed out and when I woke up I was buried in the ground. I finally crawled out and then I met you, Prince."

"Oh……"

It turned out that he was the one buried...

Shangguan Shu suddenly realized and said, "Brother Wei is so lucky."

Still alive after all this trouble...

The Wei family is really a scourge for thousands of years! (No matter what, he will escalate to the entire Wei family, hum!)

After talking about himself, Wei Yuan also wanted to hear Shangguan Shu's opinion, so he asked, "Why are you here, my lord?"

Shangguan Shu sighed and told the truth, "I was kicked out of the house by my father..."

Wei Yuan had been drinking heavily for many days, so he had never heard of Shangguan Shu and Zhao Ying's divorce. Therefore, he knew very little about the inside story, so his curiosity was not enough. He asked again, "Even if the prince was expelled from the mansion, he should not have ended up in such a situation..."

What's going on? Everyone in the capital knows that Shangguan Shu is a wealthy man. Not to mention the wealth his mother left him, even the wealth awarded by His Majesty is countless. How come he can't even afford a set of clothes now?

Shangguan Shu was reluctant to explain too much to Wei Yuan, fearing that he would go back and tell Wei Fu and ruin his plans, so he just said, "Things in the world are unpredictable..." to get away with it.

Wei Yuan thought there was some hidden story that Shangguan Shu was not willing to tell, so he did not ask.

In his heart, he lamented for Shangguan Shu, and then promised, "Don't worry, my lord. I will definitely send you some daily necessities after I return in a few minutes."

Wei Yuan's words were vague, but anyone with a discerning eye could understand that what he meant was that I would bring you some silver when I return.

This was exactly what Shangguan Shu wanted.

You can choose not to spend money, but you can’t have no money, otherwise there will be too many accidents.

He was just too confident at the beginning.

Wei Yuan felt a little sleepy due to the alternating hot and cold temperatures.

He gave his instructions again before going to bed, saying that he would return tomorrow and the prince should not worry.

Shangguan Shu did not comment. Wei Yuan had no clothes to wear, so how could he leave?... Shouldn't he go to the market tomorrow morning and then buy him a set of clothes on credit?

Shangguan Shu saw that he was sleeping under his quilt. He had no quilt left and it was almost dawn, so he simply took his sharpened axe and went up the mountain to chop wood.

Although he had no skills or experience, he was strong. After working for a whole morning, he was soaked all over. He wiped the sweat off his face and carried the firewood down the mountain.

I returned to the small courtyard and planned to drink some water before going to the market.

As a result, I entered the yard, drank water, fed the cows, and washed my face... After all this, I didn't see Wei Yuan?

Shangguan Shu thought something was wrong and hurried into the house.

Sure enough, the room was empty and Wei Yuan was nowhere to be seen.

Not only him, but also his quilt was gone.

Wei Yuan left and stole his quilt...

Outrageous!

I've seen people repaying kindness with enmity, but I've never seen anyone repaying kindness with enmity like this!

A surge of anger rushed straight to Shangguan Shu's crown.

Shangguan Shu rushed out of the house, bent down, took the axe, and with a stern face, went down the mountain, caught the man, and snatched back his quilt.

Wei Yuan was wrapped in a quilt, hiding from the crowd. He was also a lazy civil official, so how could he walk far?

So in an alley a few miles away, Wei Yuan was taken back by Shangguan Shu along with his quilt.

It was the familiar broken yard, the familiar house, and the quilt printed with blue and white porcelain was leisurely basking in the sun.

In the room, Wei Yuan was lying on the bed with only his head exposed.

The naked body was covered with a layer of brown mud.

After a few hours, he was buried in the ground again.
