Chapter 10 Outsmarting Xu San

Zhao Yuan didn't know the story of the girl after that, and he didn't have any interest in knowing it, because he was so tired. It took him eleven hours to arrive at Xujiaqiao. Not only was he exhausted, but he was also cold and hungry, hungry, and his bones were almost disintegrating.

At this time, Xu Jiaqiao was already asleep. The cold wind gently rolled up the snow foam on the ground, forming small whirlpools one by one. Except for the occasional barking of dogs or two, the neglected street was silent.

Zhao Yuan did not hesitate and went straight to Xusanjiajiaxiang.

“Mush…”

"Third brother, third brother, open the door, open the door quickly, I am Xiao Zhao..."

Amid a rapid knock on the door, a rustling sound rang out in the dark room, and then the warm light of candles lit up in the white paper-patterned window.

"Which Xiao Zhao?" After a coughing in the room, an angry voice rang out. In this cold day, no one would be happy to be shouted out from the bed.

"Third brother, I am Zhao Yuan. I'll give you a good fur piece, which can make a big mattress to make my sister-in-law warmer in the cold weather."

"I don't know anything about Zhao Yuan...a fur! What fur? Let's take a look..."

With a creaking sound, the door opened. Xu San stood at the door wearing a thick cotton coat and holding a candle. The eyes on the knife's face stared at the Yangshan leopard fur in Zhao Yuan's hand, with a greedy look on his face. Xu San had been a servant in the Wan family for more than ten years, so he naturally had some eyesight. Just by looking at it, he knew that this fur was a good thing.

"Brother San, this fur is considered to be Xiao Zhao respecting you, but you should take it seriously for the job you entrust you to find for me... Hey, aren't you Liu San?" Zhao Yuan, who was busy opening the fur of Yangshan Leopard, suddenly raised his head, and a hint of dull expression appeared on his face.

"Hehe, I am the third brother, but I am not the third brother Liu, I am the third brother Xu." Xu Sanyi said with a charming smile on his face.

"Then--then I've found the wrong person, sorry, sorry!" Zhao Yuan bent down and apologized repeatedly, lowered his head with a frust on his face and rolled up the open Yangshan leopard fur again.

"Don't be anxious, it's cold and cold. Let's drink a cup of hot tea to warm your body. Come on." Xu San opened the door enthusiastically, holding a candle in one hand and pulling Zhao Yuan's fur with the other hand and not letting go.

"No, I'm going to find Brother Liu San. He said he would introduce me to a good job." Zhao Yuan grabbed the fur tightly and looked at Xu San with a vigilant look on his face.

"Isn't it just a job? Ask the neighbor next door who I, Xu San, is? It's not me, Xu San, bragging. In this Xu Jiaqiao, who won't give me Xu San a few face?" Xu San was afraid that Zhao Yuan would leave, so he quickly boasted. Of course, Xu San was not completely bragging, because on the first day of every month, he helped thousands of families donate porridge, and some poor families still respect him very much.

"But...ah..., I remembered that you are Master Xu San from the Wan family! You are a great person!" Zhao Yuan suddenly looked at Xu San with an unbelievable expression, and "San Brother" also became "San Master".

"Yes, it's me, it's me." Xu San saw Zhao Yuan recognize his identity and enjoyed the shocked expression on Zhao Yuan's face. "Don't be anxious first. It's cold and cold. Who can find you a job? You live here first, and it's not too late to find it tomorrow. Come on, are you afraid that Xu San will eat you? You see, I have old men and young men, and I dare not do those illegal and irregular things. It's okay... What do you think? Hurry up some hot water for Xiao Zhao, wash some hot water, and drink some hot soup. Look, the straw sandals and barefoot... are all frozen, oh..."

At this time, Xu San's family was awakened, all big and small. The old man was lying on the bed and coughing constantly. Xu San's wife looked at him from a distance, while Xu San's two sons were leaning beside the door, touching the fur curiously.

"Okay, I'm really a little hungry..." Zhao Yuan swallowed.

"That's it. Come in. I have white flour buns at home to let you eat enough." Seeing Zhao Yuan showing an inspiration, Xu San was immediately overjoyed, and quickly pulled the fur and dragged it into the house.

At Xu San's enthusiastic invitation, Zhao Yuan half-swered into the room.

Soon, a basin of hot water, a bowl of broth, and a few white steamed buns were placed in front of Zhao Yuan.

While Zhao Yuan was having a big meal, Xu San kept stroking the fur, occasionally whispering to his wife, as if discussing something.

"Zhao Yuan, my wife and I discussed it and take you to Wanjia to try your luck tomorrow. However, you must tell me your situation honestly and not lie." Xu San waited for Zhao Yuan to finish eating and drinking, and then ran into the railway while it was hot.

"San Master, both my parents died. I have been wandering outside since I was a child. I have never been able to find a serious job and have no place to live. A few months ago, I met a hunter named Liu San in Niu Town. Others called him Third Brother. He said that if there is a good fur to him, he would find me a carpentry job. A few days ago, I wandered to the foot of Xiaoyang Mountain. I was cold and hungry. I wanted to go to Xiaoyang Mountain to hunt some rabbits to change some clothes to keep warm, but I saw a big animal I didn't know was sick. I couldn't carry the animal down the mountain, so I peeled the fur down the mountain. Thinking of Brother Liu's words, I asked the address of Brother Third Brother. When I asked, they said that Brother Third Brother lived in Xujia Lane. I knew that I just asked Brother Third Brother Third Brother, but people thought I was looking for Master Xu and told me the address of Master Xu San..."

Zhao Yuan’s answer is true and false, and it is not leaked. Even if you have to investigate, you have no way to start.

Zhao Yuan knew very well that a wealthy family like the Wan family must be asked clearly and would never let people with unknown identity enter. Now that Zhao Yuan cannot reveal his identity, he simply did not say it and threw the problem to Xu San to avoid being misleading.

"That's it...or, then you say it's my distant relative... it's okay... it's my wife's house... it's not okay..."

Xu San suddenly looked depressed. He had served the Wan family for more than ten years, so he naturally knew the rules of the Wan family. An unknown wanderer like Zhao Yuan would never be able to work in Wan family.

"San Master, I won't bother you. Until tomorrow, I will find Brother Liu San to introduce a short-term job. After the winter, I will go to the north to join the army." Zhao Yuan advanced by retreating.

"We don't have a person like Liu San Ge in Xujiaqiao. We are probably just a fur collector, so don't think about it." Xu San suddenly thought of something and thought for a while: "I have no choice but to work as a long-term worker. There is no problem in working as a short-term worker to survive this winter, but... it must be a rough job, and the salary is...

"San Master, you laughed at me. People like me have no skills and can only do some rough work. They are still worried about their salary. As long as they are full, they will be satisfied with arranging a place where people can't die of freezing." Zhao Yuan said with a wry smile.

"Yes, yes, it's hard to find a job now. In this winter, I don't know how many people will freeze to death. Xiao Zhao, don't worry, your affairs will be covered by my third brother. You can sleep well and keep your energy in mind now. I will take you to see your wife tomorrow. After the arrangements, I will ensure that you have enough food every time and sleep well at night." Xu San patted his chest and said.

"Thank you, Master San."

"Just call me third brother, third master is so old." Xu San smiled when he saw Zhao Yuan agreeing.

"Thank you, I'm here to do it."

...

Xu San's family was narrow, with two small rooms with three beds. The two children were driven to the old man's bed and gave up one for Zhao Yuan.

Zhao Yuan did not refuse. What he wanted was this effect - both achieving the goal and maintaining dignity.

If a person like Xu San deliberately flatters, he will definitely succeed.

In Xu San's opinion, everything was accidental, but in Zhao Yuan's eyes, it was inevitable. Only by achieving such an effect would he not arouse the suspicion of the Wan family. At the same time, Xu San would do his best to help him. If there was anything, he would not have to talk to him. Xu San would do it for him.

In fact, Zhao Yuan also thought of selling Yangshan Leopard Skin, making a fortune, and then buying a house to survive the winter, but after weighing the gains and losses, Zhao Yuan still chose Wanjia. Compared with the two, it is safer in the wealthy courtyard.

The most important thing is that a large yard like Wanjia, which can be hidden and inquiry, is far better than living alone.

The next morning, the genius was in a dawn, so Xu San dragged Zhao Yuan to Wanjia, without even having breakfast.
