Chapter 11: Hidden Dangers
Back outside the gate of the Chen Mansion, it was already noon.
The sun in the sky was even hotter than at noon, and there were waves of heat on the green bricks outside.
Tang Yun'er looked a little depressed, not to mention the face of the "ghost doctor", and she didn't even know a thing or two about the whereabouts of the "ghost doctor".
A doorman who came to watch the door, because of the hot weather, actually opened his neckline and leaned on the door frame to take a nap.
Leng didn't notice that Tang Yun'er and his party of four had already walked up.
Tang Yun'er is having bad luck and has no place to spread it.
ran into such a short-sighted minion, regardless of his daughter's identity, and kicked it.
"You dog minion, let you watch the door, you sleep. Qingzhu, wait for the housekeeper to come back and inform him that this dog slave's monthly income has been halved this month. ”
Qingzhu took the order and glared fiercely at the doorman.
Usually, Qingzhu, Hongmei and other maids who are close to Tang Yun'er are thinking of ways to make the young grandmother happy.
That's good, things didn't go well today.
As soon as I went out, I met a group of Dongying ronins to find bad luck, and when I arrived at the prefect's mansion, I didn't even see the hair of a "ghost doctor".
On the way back, Tang Yun'er didn't look at her again, and she looked worried.
Qingzhu didn't dare to ask why, so she had to fan her all the way to cool down, brisk and brisk, and then find a way to relax and relax the young grandmother when she returned to the house.
Lai Xi secretly rejoiced, fortunately he was not on duty today.
If it were as usual, no one would come to visit on this hot day, and he would be the one who was caught for being lazy.
Chen Daju saw the three people who accompanied him out, and he was very moved.
He is the eldest young master, and he will take care of him first in everything, including the arrogant young grandmother who is usually high-minded.
Today on the bridge, he also regarded Tang Yun'er, Laixi, and Qingzhu as his family members in his heart, and he desperately wanted to protect them.
Now that they have come back safely, he feels relaxed for most of the day.
However, there is one thing that once again sounded a wake-up call for him today.
Chen Daju's 16-year-old body, except for his slightly childish appearance, his appearance and size are exactly the same as him, and there is nothing too abrupt.
But this small physique, endurance, and explosiveness are really several levels worse than before.
Today, when I played with those big-hearted men, I had a deep experience.
Force will never become obsolete in any era, and the strong will have a say in any place, and they must make themselves strong in the shortest possible time.
I don't know how the martial arts leaders of the Chen Mansion usually train these homekeepers?
"Come to Xi, how do you usually learn from the head of the martial arts sect?"
asked such a question, which caught Laixi off guard.
Usually, when the young master goes out to find a revenge, he teaches a personal lesson or something, and he asks for someone directly from the housekeeper.
As for what these family members usually do, and how they train with the head of the martial arts sect, they have never asked.
I didn't bring a family member with kung fu when I went out today, but I only asked a domestic servant with such a stature and kung fu who couldn't take the stage to accompany me.
This is no longer Chen Daju's usual style.
Laixi knew that this time it was Tang Yun'er's deliberate arrangement.
When I went out today, I was not looking for revenge, nor was it Liwei, and I didn't expect to meet Dongying Ronin who usually came to seek revenge.
I went to the prefect's house, and the prefect was a literati, and it was inappropriate to bring too many people.
Tang Yun'er thought about it, and originally wanted to take the housekeeper and Qingzhu with her.
After all, the relationship between the prefect and the prefect is usually maintained by the housekeeper Chen Quan.
The old man of the Chen family, from the bottom of his heart, is unwilling to get too close to a local official of the imperial court like Wang Taide.
In the past few decades, coming and going, too many people like Wang Taide have been sent away.
Every day, he shouted "Heaven and Earth Monarch Teacher", and in private, he was doing some private factions, enriching private affairs, and bringing disaster to the people.
I made a fortune, and then I found an opportunity to get promoted.
After the beginning of autumn this year, there was another locust plague, the grain harvest was lost, and a large number of refugees poured into the city to seek a living.
Not only did the government not give them good treatment and appeasement, but also used official missions to drive them out of the city in the name of "bandits".
Countless innocent refugees have been arrested and imprisoned in the name of "bandits".
Today, Chen Boda took the housekeeper Chen Quan and several family members to the countryside. On the one hand, it is to collect grain, and on the other hand, it is to understand the situation of the disaster in the past few years and reassure the peasants who want to abandon their fields.
If the peasants abandon their fields, the Chen family's thousands of acres of fields will have no one to plant, and they will only have grass to grow.
The abandoned land has no value to them, and the Chen family's assets and business will be greatly reduced as a result.
If thousands of acres of land are wasted, then I am really sorry for the ancestors and ancestors.
"Young Master, today, I see how well you deal with those ruffians and hooligans, but you are much more majestic than those skills of the Martial Sect Leader. Usually, we just practice our strength and basic stick techniques, and we can only scare and scare those countrymen who have not seen much of the world and love to make trouble. Young master, you won't be able to take a look at it. ”
"I didn't ask you what you learned. I just want to know how you practice. For example, how to train qi. Is there anything that will help you grow your strength? ”
"This ......, young master, little stupid, I don't understand what you mean? The little one has been practicing for three months, and I haven't found any strength in it. So young master, what is that "what" you are talking about? ”
"Uh~~" Chen Daju didn't know how to explain it.
Did the ancients have such a thing as a "gym"?
In my own time, rich families would have their own private gyms.
With such a big Chen Mansion, since he wants to train his family, he must have equipment and the like.
"Forget it, forget it. I told you you don't understand either. Take me to the place where you usually train. ”
This kind of age gap makes him feel like he has met a soldier.
The "generation gap" is a bit big.
Chen Daju looked at Tang Yun'er, who was slightly tired and still pondering, and instructed Qingzhu:
"Qingzhu, you take the young grandmother back to the room to rest."
"Yes, young master."
Qingzhu leisurely helped Tang Yun'er to walk in the direction of her bedroom.
Lai looked at Chen Daju with joy and said:
"Young Master, are you looking for some weapons to clean up someone? It's up to you to do it yourself. As long as you command, young master, I will immediately find someone from the mansion to go with you. Just like what Steward Chen arranged for you in the past, it was proper. ”
"What's right? Okay, you're a big-headed ghost, young master, I want to see if your usual training is perfunctory. Today, I met those ruffians and hooligans, and I saw that you couldn't use them at all, so I was caught. How can you be expected to take care of the home? ”
Chen Daju's words were ridiculed a few times.
I heard that I was saying that I was useless.
I finally came across an opportunity to go out with the young master and grandmother, but I didn't take advantage of it.
Looks like I'll have to go back to the gate in the future.
Lai happily led Chen Daju to a relatively small courtyard at the back of the house.
There were several wooden and stone piers scattered on the ground, and on a wooden shelf against the wall, there were a dozen wooden sticks and a few large knives.
"Young master, this is where the little ones usually train."
What the hell! Do you use these for training? Is there still combat effectiveness?
Chen Daju was in a cold sweat, now it is a troubled time, and the Chen family has such a big family business, so it depends on the domestic servants trained by these things to protect it?
