Hidden in the court

Chapter 179 Gone, all gone

Unexpectedly, the three of them finally arrived at the hottest place in the entire Taiyuan city early in the morning, but it was not that kind of place, but a blacksmith shop.

It's more like a whole street than a blacksmith shop. You can hear the clanging of bells and look around. The whole street is full of blacksmith shops of all sizes. The fire in the furnace is burning, making the ironware red. The shirtless man is sweating all over, holding a hammer and hitting the ironware again and again. Sparks are everywhere. It must be hot, right?

In fact, if you look closely, you will find that there are basically no customers on this street, but there are quite a few government officials patrolling back and forth.

The most important thing is that ever since their group came in, whether it was people walking on the road, patrolling officers, or the guys in the blacksmith shop, they all cast their eyes on them.

At this time, Su Mengyang came up and whispered, "That's not right, Brother Ji, why do I feel like the whole street is staring at us?"

"Just don't feel anything about this situation."

Ji Mingshang replied. In order not to attract attention, he led everyone to a blacksmith shop and started a conversation.

"Brother, do we have any ready-made farm tools? Like a hoe, a rake, a sickle, anything will do."

The big brother of the blacksmith shop looked at the appearance of the few people and smiled and said, "Gentlemen, are you here to buy tools for your family's farm and labor? But our shop doesn't have that much stock, so you have to wait a little longer. If you need it urgently, you may have to go to more shops."

"No, no, we don't want much. We're not ordering it for the farm workers at home, but for ourselves."

Ji Mingshang immediately waved his hand to indicate that these things were for his group.

Upon hearing this, the entire blacksmith shop was stunned. Judging from the appearance and attire of these young people, they were not badly dressed. Even if they were not young masters or young ladies from some family, they should not need to work hard.

Seeing this, Ji Mingshang began his performance. His eyes suddenly turned red, tears welled up, and he said in a choked voice: "Big brother, to be honest, the things were indeed ordered for us. We...we were originally from other places, and our family also did some business...unfortunately, we did not manage it well and lost everything. The servants ran away, several concubines remarried, and my father died without a breath."

Everyone was silent after hearing this. People on the whole street looked over, feeling sad. They were also from a poor family, and they couldn't even speak properly because of what they had been forced to do by this child.

The people following Ji Mingshang were also stunned, and then they saw Zhao Yao silently raised his head, trying to calm down his emotions, mainly because he was afraid that others would notice something wrong.

The others were similar. Hu Die lowered her head, Su Mengyang covered her face, and Luo Lin simply squatted on the ground with her head in her hands.

What does this have to do with anything? Ji Mingshang, do King Jin know that you are saying this about your father?

Outsiders naturally didn't know the difficulties they were facing at the time and just thought they were sad.

Ji Mingshang looked at the performances of the others and was not very satisfied. His performance was not over yet.

This time, he did not suppress his emotions, but burst into tears and said, "I took these brothers and sisters with me... to bury my father, and I still have some money left. I bought a piece of wasteland outside the city, and I came to the city to get some seeds and farm tools, so that I can be self-reliant from now on..."

After saying this, he pretended to wipe away his tears.

"Well, wait a moment. I have some ready-made farm tools in my shop. I'll get them for you. You three are young and strong, you will never go hungry..."
