Chapter 0024 - Loyal House Slave
Seeing that Xing Ziang didn't reply, the little fat man said a little seriously: "As the third prince in the future, the grain is not divided, and I don't know the yield of one acre, how can I levy taxes?" I don't know the suffering of the people, I don't know the hard work of farming, how can I control the land of the world and do it for the people? Xing Ziang hurriedly waved his hand and said: "The young prince and the marquis are ashamed of me, with my inferior talent, why should I be called the third duke, don't be like this." ”
"I am only willing to serve the young prince, know the people's livelihood, govern the fields, and not eat the monarch in vain."
"Great goodness!" The little fat man laughed and let Xing Ziang deal with his own field affairs, not only can he cultivate him, but also take the opportunity to control the property of the Hou Mansion in his own hands, now, the affairs in the Hou Mansion, the mother does not pay much attention to it, most of it is handled by the little fat man himself, the little fat man naturally has no malicious wariness towards the mother, but he very much hopes that he can become the real master of the Hou Mansion!
The house slaves always regarded him as a widow, and his orders were all to ask the Dong family or Liu Jiazai before he would do it, which made the little fat man very unhappy, and he gradually had such thoughts in his heart.
But in terms of cultivating the monarch's desire to control, He Xiu was quite successful!
He Xiu was also a little shocked by the little fat man's remarks, since the goldfish incident, his student seems to have changed as a person, becoming smarter and smarter, drawing inferences from one another, and becoming very assertive in everything, these things, the parties themselves may not be able to feel them, but the people around him can increasingly feel the changes of the little fat man, and they are less and less treating the little fat man as a child.
Could it be that goldfish can grow wisdom?
He Xiu put the reason for all this on the strange goldfish.
Back in the house, the little fat man ordered to summon Steward Liu, usually, the Dong family has something to call, usually it takes more than an hour for the old man, after hearing the order of the young prince, less than half an hour, has appeared in front of the little fat man, the little fat man looked at the person in front of him, for Steward Liu, he is very familiar, since childhood, Steward Liu has accompanied him, in comparison, even longer than Dong.
It's just that after the death of his father, Steward Liu didn't come to look for himself much, he went to look for himself, and he just stood respectfully and didn't say much, so gradually, the little fat man was estranged from him, and when he saw him at this moment, he saw that his hair was gray, like rickets, and remembered when he was young, he couldn't help but feel sad, and said with some bitterness: "Long time no see, Uncle Liu is okay?" ”
These words made Steward Liu shocked, and he hurriedly leaned over and bowed: "The old man is a family slave, don't say this, the head of the family just calls Zhong Ping is." The little fat man also knew that Zhong Ping was the word of Liu Steward, and he treated the elderly, even if the other party was his own house slave, the little fat man could not call him a word, the little fat man shook his head and said: "My father is called Uncle Liu, Uncle Liu loves my father very much, why did he fall in love with me?" ”
Hearing the words of the little fat man, Steward Liu was silent for a moment, then slowly got up, looked at the little fat man's face, looked at it for a long time, and then said: "I don't know what is the matter of looking for me at home?" The little fat man said: "Xing Ziang has a noble character, and he is also a capable minister in the world, I am willing to get his help, so I sent him to govern my family's field, I don't know if Uncle Liu can allow it?" ”
The family property has always been managed by Uncle Liu, and if you want to stuff Xing Ziang into it, you naturally have to ask Uncle Liu first, Manager Liu did not hesitate at all, took out a letter from his sleeve, handed it to the little fat man, and said in a low voice: "These are the general head of the Liu family's fields, the order of the head of the family, and I dare not disobey." The little fat man took the bamboo slip, opened it and looked at it, to be honest, he knew that he had cultivated countless fields, but he didn't know the exact number.
And on this bamboo slip, not only the number, location, but even the farm tools, ploughing cattle, and tenants have detailed records, the little fat man looked at it for a moment, and asked with some curiosity: "Compared with the father who is alive, can the Liu family's property be reduced?" ”
"There is an increase or a decrease, and I also ask the head of the family to send the old man as a support to help Xing Ziang act."
"Oh, Uncle Liu is reluctant?"
"It's not reluctant, it's just that these fields belong to the head of the family! As long as the old decay is alive, it must be kept for one day, except for the head of the family, no one can move a cent! Although the old man was old, his voice was extremely loud, and the little fat man was shocked, and quickly got up, stared at Steward Liu, and asked, "What do you mean by this?" Can't believe Xing Ziang? ”
"No, except for the head of the family, no one can move a cent!"
"What about my grandmother?"
"Not really! The mother's surname is Dong, not Liu! ”
"How daring! How dare I separate my mother and son!! The little fat man suddenly shouted, his face was red, and he stared at Steward Liu angrily, Steward Liu raised his head and looked at the little fat man, his face was not afraid, the two looked at each other for a moment, and the atmosphere became more and more serious.
The little fat man suddenly grinned, hurriedly helped the old man up, and said: "Uncle Liu is like me, I only know Uncle Liu's loyalty today, but these words, don't say it, if it angers my mother, I can't bear it." The old man was helped up, and the little fat man's rapid change of face not only did not make the old man worried, but he was overjoyed, and he boasted in his heart, not in vain for the children of the Liu family, and the real master!
Sometimes, the more you like someone, the more you think he is outstanding.
"Hahaha, this thing, Uncle Liu will collect it first, and then Zuo Ziang, revitalize the family business, and have work!" , The little fat man bowed his hand, not to mention how happy he was, he somewhat understood that this Uncle Liu was his own diehard, maybe it was the Liu family's loyalty, with him, he was in charge of the family business, but he was afraid that it would be faster, he had an impulse, and almost wanted to go to his mother now and let himself manage the Hou Mansion.
However, he was afraid of making his mother angry, but he was not afraid of being beaten, but he didn't want his mother to be sad.
Uncle Liu's statement really made the little fat man ecstatic, this is just a person's allegiance, if he gets the allegiance of countless talented ministers in the world, what kind of luck is it? The little fat man thought of the large number of civil and military ministers recorded in the Book of Heaven, and he had ambitions in his heart, before, he was just a stubborn son of the powerful, and he didn't have much expectation for the supreme position.
It's just that at this moment, he suddenly realized that he couldn't wait to sit on that throne!
After sending Xing Ziang to deal with Uncle Liu, he came to the backyard again, wanted to talk to his mother, just approached the door, he heard a miserable cry from the inside, the little fat man's face changed greatly, he pushed the door open, saw his mother was crying bitterly, he couldn't suppress the anger in his heart for a while, and shouted to the maids around: "Who dares to anger my mother?? I'm really not afraid of death!! ”
"Say, who!!"
The roar of the little fat man, not only frightened the maidservants, but even Dong was taken aback, she looked carefully, Liu Hong's increasing leadership demeanor, for a while, also forgot to cry, seeing the angry appearance of the little fat man, Dong wiped his tears, and said: "Don't blame them, it's your cousin, when the son, someone picked up a man's corpse by the river, your uncle spread the word, your cousin also!" ”
"I don't know what kind of villain he committed such a murder and killed your cousin!"
As he spoke, Dong cried again, after all, it was his own nephew, Liu Hong also frowned, he had asked his mother before, but Dong never told him, only today did he know that his cousin was killed by someone, Liu Hong gritted his teeth, in the Jiedu Pavilion, there are still villains who dare to harm their cousin? It was so bold, but when he thought about it again, he felt that it was wrong, at that time, he had broken into the attic.
I was ignorant at that time, but I even showed him the book of heaven... Could it be that he died because of the Book of Heaven?
But a few months, Liu Hong actually became smarter, those stupid things in the past, made him a little ashamed, he also felt that it was the goldfish he ate that day, which made him change, these days, he felt that his mind was getting clearer, even when he read the history books, he was also a glance and ten lines, and he never forgot it, he didn't have this ability a few months ago.
I thought in my heart, if my cousin really died for the Book of Heaven, wouldn't he also become the culprit?
Only, who will kill him?
