The dog lowered his head, not daring to look at his mother, picked his fingers, and said in a low voice: "The child just wants to talk to his mother about this." Today, the lord's family told us that he wanted to bring some people with him when he went to Hanzhong, and asked us if anyone wanted to go with us. The child thought that he could continue to study with the master's family, so he wanted to ask his mother, if the child wanted to follow, would it be successful? ”

"Let's keep studying!" The dog's mother was picking up the lid of the jar and said casually.

"So my mother agreed?"

With a "bang", the lid of the can touched the can and fell to the ground, making a loud noise. Fortunately, the ground was dirt, and the lid was only broken by the clay pot and was not broken.

The dog's mother didn't pick it up, but turned around hurriedly and asked, "What did you just say?" ”

"The child wants to go to Hanzhong with the master's house."

"No!" The dog's mother screamed, "Absolutely not! ”

After a pause, as if he had made up his mind, he looked around, lowered his voice, and said in a voice that could only be heard by the two of them: "Even if we don't plant this Feng family's land, we won't be able to do it." ”

In Shudi in September, there was a continuous autumn rain, which also brought a trace of coolness.

The children in the village seem to be in a much worse health all of a sudden, just an autumn rain, two of them have already fallen ill and cannot go to work in the house. The adults in the family went to the house to apologize in person, and said that their children were bad, and they were afraid that they would miss the affairs of the house, so they wanted to quit the helper.

Feng Yong couldn't see the clumsy performance, and with a wave of his hand, he directly asked the housekeeper to take out some food, which was considered to be the end of the salary.

As expected, the two of them both excused themselves, saying that the baby couldn't do any work, and coming to the house to eat was already the kindness of the master's family, and they didn't dare to collect any more food.

"The lord shouldn't be so kind to those white-eyed wolves!"

After the two left, the housekeeper looked at the distant backs of the two and scolded viciously: "Give them a full stomach again, teach literacy again, and even let the family raise chickens, at such a juncture, you actually did such a thing!" ”

"Okay, Uncle Zhao, don't talk about it." Feng Yong smiled nonchalantly, "After all, it's my own flesh and blood." By the way, go and tell those children in the house that they won't be used for a few days, and seeing that they haven't laughed in the past two days, they must be uncomfortable in their hearts. ”

"But what about the work in the house?"

"What should I do?" Feng Yong sneered, "It's not just their families in the village. They can go to other lords' houses instead of planting my land, and can they also do those servants? Go, call Ame over. ”

Sure enough, a slave who is completely attached to the master's house is a good slave!

"Lord, you called me?"

After Ah Mei was called over, she squatted and bent down to salute, not daring to look at Feng Yong, and asked meekly.

"How many of your family members do you have children over the age of eight? Do you know how to speak Chinese? ”

"Back to the lord, we are acquaintances, we have lived with the Han people for many years, and we can all speak Chinese."

All along, those bureaucrats emphasized that they were acquaintances to prove that they were not much different from the Han Chinese.

"That's good. There has been a shortage of manpower in the house recently, so you go and pick out all the children over the age of eight and under the age of twelve and send them to the house to help the younger sister. Remember, teach them the rules of the house, otherwise, if something goes wrong, they will break their hands and feet, and the whole family will be driven out of Zhuangzi, you know? ”

Ah Mei froze and didn't speak.

"What? What's the problem? ”

Amei's face finally showed a look of ecstasy, knelt down and kowtowed violently: "Thank you, thank you, thank you!" ”

Feng Yong has absolute control over the bureaucrats, after all, he still has the deeds of sale of those people in his hands.

Even if you don't mention this, the bureaucrats who are driven out of Zhuangzi will definitely have only a dead end. Don't say how many people are willing to take in the wingmen, but there are those who are willing to take in, and the bureaucrats who were once driven out of Zhuangzi by the previous master's family, do you dare to ask for them?

The atmosphere in the village is getting more and more wrong.

In the past, when Zhuang Hu met Feng Yong in the village, he would stand on the side of the road with a smile and say hello. But in the past few days, when the Zhuang Hu saw Feng Yong coming from a distance, he would quietly dodge, and if he couldn't dodge, he would bow his head and salute, and then run away quickly, as if Feng Yong had a plague on his body, and the farther away the better.

Feng Yong didn't care about this, and he was even glad in his heart. If it weren't for this, he would definitely not have realized the problems of his Zhuangzi.

I haven't asked your children to follow me, but I just said that there is anyone willing to go with me, and you are like this, really I am a bully?

The human heart is unfathomable. Feng Yong is not qualified to criticize the farmer's choice, but the farmer cannot blame him for his approach: disloyal farmer, what am I going to do? Who knows when a white-eyed wolf will be raised?

"Is this something on the mind?"

Feng Yongzheng sat silently under the willow tree in a daze, and the old man surnamed Lu, who had lost one eye, came over and asked.

"Oh, it's Uncle Lu, sit. Is there something wrong? ”

Feng Yong glanced at Old Pawn Lu and nodded to say hello.

"Nothing. Just come and tell the master, the guards who went to Hanzhong have all been selected, and they are all old guys who can still hold knives and guns. I wonder what else the Lord needs me to do? ”

Old man Lu didn't dare to get too close to Feng Yong, sat down a little far away, and said with a smile.

"No more. Just be ready and wait for you to go. Feng Yong stretched, looked at Old Soldier Lu, and pointed to the construction site that was building a house not far away, "The new house over there will be built in two days, right?" Otherwise, if you don't settle down those family members, you won't feel at ease. ”

"Don't worry, master's house, it's almost three or four days away, and you can't make a mistake."

"Huh? Yesterday the housekeeper told me that it would be three days at most, why is it still three or four days today? ”

Old Soldier Lu grinned, and the flesh-red scar on his face began to squirm: "That was yesterday's estimate, and today, a few old farmers were driven away by us, and they were not allowed to help." ”

Why is that? How do you get started? Feng Yong asked with concern, it is normal for new and old dealers to have contradictions, but it is not a trivial matter to develop to the point of hands.

"I didn't do anything, I just told them to go away." Old Soldier Lu smiled, "We are all people who crawled out of the pile of dead people, and we can survive by relying on the swords and guns that our brothers helped us block." As he spoke, he pointed to the construction site where work was being done in the distance, "Most of those family members were left for our dead brothers, and they promised to take care of them." ”

"It's a good thing." Feng Yong nodded, "I understand, I'm just afraid that I'm closer than my own brother, right?" ”

"Isn't that?" Old Lu was excited to be understood, "We are rough people, and we don't know any big truths, but we still know the truth of being rewarded." The Lord's house has taken in us who are working hard, and it is a great kindness to be able to feed us. This time, I heard that the main family wants how many children to follow to Hanzhong? If you can't find anyone, we still have a few of them, stupid and stupid, not as literate as the children of those old villagers, but they are all obedient and good babies, and they are also quick to work. ”

Feng Yong's heart was hot, but his face didn't show any abnormality, and he smiled: "Uncle Lu has already said that those babies were left behind by your dead brother, and you finally settled down, how could you bear to let them follow me to such a far place?" ”

"Just leave one who can inherit the incense, and it doesn't mean that all of them will be gone." Old Soldier Lu waved his hand, "I have come from Nanzhong, are you still afraid to go to Hanzhong?" Besides, aren't there a few of us old guys with us? It is a good thing to go out with the Lord and see it for a long time. ”
