"Little Langjun, are you planning to go out?"

When Liu Xu saw this woman, he instinctively felt a strange feeling from his heart. In his memory, the woman was the landlord, Widow Zhang, who seemed to be very concerned about him, the "little man". Otherwise, when he rented a house, the house would not be so cheap, and he would pay once a month, so he didn't even need a deposit.

Liu Xu nodded lightly, not knowing how to deal with it for a while.

"Little Langjun, I went to my parents' home a few days ago and I just came back last night. I came here to see you soon. I also specially made chicken soup for you. You can drink it while it is hot."

I guess this Widow Zhang already knew about Liu Xu being beaten to death, but she never mentioned it to take care of his face. She was a very considerate and careful woman.

Liu Xu only saw that she was carrying a food box in her hand. To be honest, he became a little greedy when he heard it was chicken soup. In the past two days, he only drank porridge and ate steamed cakes. The steamed cakes were similar to steamed buns, without filling, without any meat, and a bird really faded out of his mouth.

"How can you be so embarrassed?" Liu Xu was polite on the surface, but his hands naturally reached out to pick them up.

The little woman was stunned at first, then said happily: "You go in and drink it while it's hot. I'll get up and stew it as soon as it dawns, but it's fragrant."

"Okay, thank you."

Liu Xu was so greedy that he almost drooled. He didn't care about being polite, so he turned back to the yard, put the food box on a stone pier, and then couldn't wait to open it.

I saw a few sesame cakes in the food box and another porcelain jar, which was quite large.

He first reached out and tried the temperature of the porcelain jar. Just as it was, he picked up the porcelain jar, opened the lid, and drank the chicken soup.

"Damn it! It's really delicious!"

Liu Xu sighed while drinking. Within a few minutes, the porcelain jar was at its bottom. He ran to the kitchen to get chopsticks, and ate all the minced meat and bones under the jar. He also solved the problem with a few bites of sesame cakes.

Liu Xushu burped comfortably before looking at Widow Zhang next to her with a little embarrassed look.

"Sister-in-law, thank you."

Widow Zhang smiled and said with a smile: "No need to thank you. If you like it, I will stew it for you next time. You are weak and you are just in a good way to make up for it."

Seeing Widow Zhang looking at him waterily, the strange feeling in Liu Xu's heart became even stronger. This feeling was entirely derived from the instinct of his body.

Liu Xu thought to himself that the unlucky child was not interested in this widow, right?

He couldn't help but look at the widow slightly shorter, just 1.55 meters tall. Of course, in this era, women's height is considered to be medium-sized. Her figure is very good, small and delicate, with the protruding ones that should be protruding ones, especially the pair of double peaks on her chest. There is no breast cover or silicone in this era, so it is naturally real material.

Willow-leaf eyebrows, almond eyes, and smiles on the corners of the mouth, which has a unique charm.

According to original memory, this widow is only in her twenties, but she has been widow for four or five years.

Her husband's family runs a tailor shop and has little assets. Less than a year after she got married, her parents-in-law died one after another, and the next year his husband also died unexpectedly. In this era, he was a complete star of destruction.

Fortunately, no one in her husband's family competed for her family property, and with the help of her mother's family, she, the widow, could live a stable life in this chaotic world.

Liu Xu immediately became interested and thought that he was not familiar with the place here now. Since this widow seems to have a crush on him, it would be better to eat soft rice for a while before talking about it.

Liu Xu really doesn’t have much psychological barrier to the soft-eating industry. He relies on his ability to make a soft-eating, and no one can eat. In order to complete a order, he worked as a cowherd for a few days. Of course, he only chose customers he was satisfied with, and he didn’t feel wronged. He was both enjoying and making money. Why not help others and yourself?

With the idea set, he naturally reached out and grabbed Widow Zhang's hand. In her shocked expression, he said to her affectionately: "Sister-in-law, you are so nice to me."

Widow Zhang immediately blushed and struggled a few times. Seeing that she could not break free, she lowered her head, leaving Liu Xu with a very attractive side face.

Liu Xu continued to work hard and said sincerely: "Sister-in-law, I have both parents died since I was a child, and I only depend on Uncle Zhong for my own life. Since I saw you, I have become indescribable to you as if I had seen my relatives. Can I call you sister in the future?"

Widow Zhang's face turned redder when she heard this. She glanced at Liu Xu quickly and said shyly: "Since... you don't dislike me, I... I am willing."

Seeing that Widow Zhang was so easy to work with, Liu Xu was hesitating whether to go further, he suddenly heard a dry cough, but Uncle Zhong was back and standing at the gate of the yard.

Widow Zhang was so scared that she pulled her hand back suddenly, and then she didn't dare to look at Uncle Zhong. She even forgot to take away the food box. She lowered her head and stepped on the lotus step and left the yard like she ran away.

"Young Master, haven't I advised you before? This widow is an ominous person, and you can't have anything to do with her."

Seeing Uncle Zhong really got angry this time, Liu Xu didn't agree with it, but he nodded and said, "You are right, I will pay attention in the future."

Uncle Zhong sighed softly, suddenly knelt down at Liu Xu and said sobbingly: "Young Master, you have to take care of yourself in the future. The old slave can no longer take care of the young master."

Liu Xu was shocked when he heard this, and hurriedly stepped forward to support him and asked in confusion: "Uncle Zhong, what are you doing? Is something happening?"

"It's all useless for the old slave. I've sold myself and will enter the palace today..."

After Uncle Zhong's nagging and telling, Liu Xu then understood what was going on. It turned out that after Liu Xu lost all his money and lost himself, the asking price for the mortgage was a little higher at that time, Uncle Zhong didn't even get it all together. Finally, he saw that his treasure master was about to be sold, and he sold himself at the end of his desperate situation.

Fortunately, when I was looking for a way to sell myself, Uncle Zhong met an old acquaintance who was somewhat intimate. He just made up enough money to redeem Liu Xu. He also gave him some time and did not let him enter the palace immediately.

The old acquaintance had already leniently granted Uncle Zhong these days, but he could no longer leniently. The palace was in a hurry to be in short supply, so the people sent were already waiting outside and urged him to enter the palace.

Uncle Zhong was a eunuch. Liu Xu knew it very early, and Uncle Zhong himself did not deliberately hide it from him. In fact, in the strange country of Southern Han, it was a normal thing for eunuchs. Many people took the initiative to cut off the throne for glory and wealth. The reason was that their emperor believed that only after becoming eunuchs and without family and roots of trouble would they be loyal to him and serve him intently. Therefore, anyone who passed the Jinshi must be castrated first and then appointed an official position. In addition, officials who have not passed the Jinshi but are valued by the emperor cannot escape a knife.

This is a basic national policy of the Southern Han Dynasty.
