Chapter 23: Farmhouse (1)

Since listening to the township army that came back that day, Wu Zhi and others were passed on to him, Mr. Liu was so happy in his heart, the new owner of the village was as brave as ever, it was really a blessing for the whole village. In Zhending Sanzhuang, the number of township soldiers in Sanzhuang is about the same, but the combat effectiveness is heaven and earth. When it comes to being brave and good at fighting, first of all, we must count Hujiazhuang, Hujiazhuang has nearly 2,000 villagers, Hujiazhuang Third Miss Hu Sanmei likes guns and sticks since childhood, bows and horses are skillful, and likes to wear a white armor. She is quite famous in Hebei, and once led the Hujiazhuang Township Army to defeat a regular army of nearly 1,000 Liao troops, and even the Zhending Frontier Fierce General was convinced by her. It is known as "the silver phoenix of Zhending, and the gun of Hebei is unparalleled." ”

And Zhujiazhuang has the three tigers of the Zhu family, they are also very good, there are more than 2,000 township soldiers, this is not counting, Zhujiazhuang also recruited outlaws from the recklessness of the rivers and lakes as Zhuang guests, there are nearly 1,000 people gathered, and the number of people is the best portrayal of Zhujiazhuang.

Every time they encountered hundreds of Liao troops, Zhangjiazhuang had to ask for help from Liangzhuang in the past, while the other two villages did not have more than 1,000 regular Liao army horses, and they were never afraid of coming. Liangzhuang naturally looks down on Zhangjiazhuang very much, I heard that the two villages have recently had the intention of marriage and alliance, Mr. Liu has been worried that Liangzhuang will not use any tricks to drive Zhangjiazhuang out of Zhending, after all, Zhangjiazhuang is in the middle of the two villages, and if the two villages want to expand, it is the best way to remove Zhangjiazhuang.

Now that General Manager Liu has finally put his mind at ease for the time being, the new owner of the village is invincible, and he will train the township soldiers well in the future, and he is afraid that they will make some stumbling blocks. Sooner or later, one day, I will raise my eyebrows in front of the housekeepers of those two villages.

Steward Liu trotted in front of Wu Zhi and said respectfully: "Big official, the old slave will take you to inspect the township soldiers in the village. ”

Wu Zhi followed behind Steward Liu, and listened to Manager Liu's chatter about the situation of the township soldiers, there are about 2,000 township soldiers in Wujiazhuang, but the combat effectiveness is very low.

At this time, the sky is getting dark, and every household in the samurai village lights up, and at a glance, it seems that countless fireflies are dancing in the night. Looking at the orange light shining through the windows of every house, it seems to be so warm. Wu Zhi's heart was inexplicably sour, even if he was the king of the Great Song Dynasty, the owner of a martial arts family, and a wealthy man who spent a lot of money, but he must be happier than these tenant farmers who faced the loess with their backs to the sky?

As I walked along, I listened to the laughter of children, the scolding of adults, the squeaking of babies, the chirping of cows and horses, and even the quarreling of husbands and wives from these tenants' homes. It all makes people feel so intimate and so warm. Wu Zhi's heart is empty, is this feeling called loneliness? Wu Zhi asked himself, why do I feel this way?

"Xianggong, are you back?" Jin Lian walked over and gently helped herself dust off her body......

"Xianggong, you taste this ......" Jin Lian tenderly sandwiched a chopsticks sweet and sour carp for herself......

"Golden Lotus ......" Wu Zhi just shouted, and the smiling golden lotus in front of him disappeared. Looking around, there were three smiling guards and a confused manager Liu. Wu Zhi's face flushed, this time the embarrassment is big, hasn't he become a nymphomaniac? The melancholy in my heart has disappeared. Yes, I have a golden lotus. I have a home, too, and I'm not the careless bastard I was hundreds of years later! It's a bit stupid to still envy other people's family carnivals! I'm thinking about Golden Lotus! Wu Sik finally identified the source of his low mood. Well, it's time to go home!

Mr. Liu looked at the owner's restless appearance all the way, and the expression on his face was also unpredictable, depressed for a while, soft for a while, and said to himself what kind of gold, is this owner thinking about the way to make money all the time? No wonder people can buy a big business at a young age, it seems that they want to educate their unsuccessful son, and they will learn more from the owner in the future, which is the royal way to make a fortune.

"Big official, if you leave again, you will have to leave the village." Although Steward Liu admires the owner's dedication, he still has to remind the owner.

Wu Zhi said "ah", but no, he walked out of the south gate again, and suddenly remembered the rules of the Song Dynasty, and said with a smile: "Then let's go back, I'm afraid that Zhu'er and they will be hungry." "In this era, slaves and maidservants had to wait for their masters to eat before they could eat.

Manager Liu said with a smile: "The big official is sympathetic, but the Zhu'er girl is not sure of the owner's memory, this little girl is sensible, she goes home to eat with her brother, saying that she is afraid that her brother will eat alone too lonely." ”

"Oh?" Wu Zhi was curious, Zhu'er seems to have been by his side these days? When will she go home to be with her brother? Remembering how happy and shy she looked when she ordered her to put on new clothes, Wu Zhi laughed again.

"Let's go, go to Zhu'er's house to have a look, I heard that the big cow is the most powerful in Zhuangzi, go see it!"

The Zhu'er family's house, like all the tenants in Zhuangzi, is made of adobe. The low roof is covered with thick hay, which is said to be good for keeping warm.

As soon as I approached the wooden fence of Zhu'er's house, I heard the honest voice of the big cow, "You eat slowly!" Don't choke! ”

"No, I'm afraid it's going to be late today, it's all my fault, I shouldn't have gone to see the flower cloth with Sister Chunhua......" Zhu'er's self-pity words were followed by the sound of gulping things.

"How can I blame you? I don't know Chunhua's temperament yet, she must have pulled you hard...... Alas, slow down! Didn't you say that the owner of the village is the best good person in the world? Don't worry about going back later......"

Wu Zhi didn't expect anyone to say that he was a rare good person in the world, so he smiled bitterly and opened the tattered cotton curtain of Zhu'er's house.

"Brother, this is the duty of a maid, do you understand? It's not a question of whether you're late or not, do you understand what it means to be responsible? ......" Zhu'er drank the gruel in the bowl in one go, and was about to rush back after educating her brother with the newly learned words. As soon as the door curtain was lifted, a cold wind blew in, and when she looked back, the young farmer looked at her with a smile at the door. After a pause in the middle of speaking, it took a long time before he stammered: "Old ...... Lord......"

Wu Zhi smiled: "What? Not welcome? Didn't you tell me to come in and sit down? ”

The big cow who had been standing relieved and hurriedly ran over to salute: "Master, please come in, it's cold at the door, don't freeze you......"

Zhu'er's house was too small, so the three guards and Manager Liu had to wait outside the fence, otherwise they would all go in and wouldn't be able to stand.

Da Niu washed the low wooden bench at home with water and wiped it repeatedly with a towel before moving over and inviting Wu Zhi to sit down. Wu Zhi let him be busy, knowing that it would be in vain for him to say more, and most of them would be misunderstood.
