Chapter 259: Deceived

Last time, Zhang Ping and his entourage met Tai Shici and his ox cart loaded with the "local specialties" he had made at the entrance and exit of the county.

Because he left the sphere of influence of the Yellow Turban Army, Zhang Ping reverted to his previous life's name, Liang Xu.

Liang Xu introduced Tai Shici to his mother Ji Chuer, his brother Liang Sheng, and his other family members Zhao Feng, Zhao Yueer, and Zhao Fan.

Usually the female dependents don't see outsiders, so in public places like the entrance and exit of the county, Tai Shici only hears the Ji family and the Zhao family, and does not see them, but this is also a reflection that Liang Xu does not regard him as an outsider.

Tai Shici has a very deep impression of Zhao Fan, he personally thinks that Zhao Fan is not like someone else's subordinate, but like those nerdy sons of big families who read dead books. It's just that he doesn't understand why a noble son would become Liang Xu's coachman?

And Zhao Feng and Tai Shici had already met yesterday, but Liang Xu did not introduce them to each other at that time.

Tai Shici was not very interested in the bodyguards that Liang Xu brought with him yesterday, according to his observations, the martial arts of the person who didn't come with Liang Xu today were okay, but Zhao Feng was too ordinary in his eyes.

But there is another thing that Tai Shici finds incredible, that is, when Liang Xu introduced Zhao Feng, Zhao Yue'er, and Zhao Fan, he said that their identities were not servants, but family members. Zhao Yueer's identity is easier to understand, a child daughter-in-law or a girl in a room, this is popular in large households. Zhao Feng, Zhao Yue'er, and Zhao Fan are all surnamed Zhao, are they brother and sister? But Zhao Feng and Zhao Fan don't look like brothers no matter how they look at them, and their appearance and temperament are too far apart.

Besides, what about the servants of the Liang family? This is the first time that Tai Shici has discovered that there are large families without servants.

Finally, Tai Shici didn't understand why Liang Xu's eldest brother would come with him, instead of letting him stay in the small fishing village to take care of his own property. Aren't the family members who usually stay at home the closest and most trustworthy? However, this is a family matter, and it is inconvenient for Tai Shici to ask more.

Although Tai Shici was also a little surprised that the Liang family was headed by a younger brother, perhaps because Liang Sheng was born to a concubine or even a maidservant, and Liang Xu's mother was the wife of the main family, which would cause Liang Sheng's status in the Liang family to be lower than Liang Xu. However, with Liang Xu not yet twelve years old, Liang Xu's mother is usually the head of the family. It's just that when it comes to Liang Xu's prodigy name, it's not too difficult for people to understand.

But in general, the Liang family's impression of Tai Shici was as hazy as in the fog.

Liang Xu didn't know that it was only a face-to-face effort, Tai Shi Ci discovered the flaws hidden in his fake identities, fortunately, Tai Shi Ci's purpose was not to deal with the Liang family, otherwise he would be carefully investigated by Tai Shi Ci, and he would probably be a goof. Although he will not reveal his true identity at once, it will definitely bring a lot of trouble to Liang Xu.

Liang Xu asked everyone to put the salute on the ox cart full of gifts, and arranged for Zhao Fan to be responsible for driving the ox cart, and asked the guys sent by Dongping Food to help assist Zhao Fan, so he led everyone and set off with Tai Shici.

Tai Shici proposed that he should arrange everyone's itinerary on the grounds that he was coming from Donglai and was more familiar with the situation on the road. And Liang Xu, for the purpose of exercising Zhao Fan, proposed that when he needed to negotiate with people, he would let Zhao Fan be responsible.

Seeing that Liang Xu seemed to like to abuse Zhao Fan very much, and always arranged some menial work for Zhao Fan to do, Tai Shici asked the doubts in his heart: "Xiao Liang Gongzi, why do you always arrange for Zhao Fan to do the things that those servants do?" He looked like he had read a book. ”

Please support the author, please go to QQ Reading, Start Reading or any other website under China Literature to support the author, I am very grateful.

Liang Xu listened to Tai Shi Ci's question, and was frightened in his heart, Tai Shi Ci didn't ask, he didn't realize this problem yet. Fortunately, Liang Xu didn't have to beat the draft when he lied, he opened his mouth and said, "Brother Taishi, you can also see it?" Brother Zhao Fan's culture is high. Our Liang family and his Zhao family, the two families have been friends for generations, but poor his family was affected by this damn troubled world and destroyed in the war, only he and his brother escaped. When I came to Qingzhou, I luckily met them and took them in. ”

After listening to the story made up by Liang Xu, Tai Shici was also embarrassed, and scolded the damned Yellow Turban thief for ruining the people's families.

Originally, the private goods that Liang Xu wanted to express in his words meant that the Han court did not do any work, which made the people's grievances boiling, and the flames were raging, affecting innocent people. Who knew that it would be such an effect, which made Liang Xu feel embarrassed, and he was scolded by Tai Shici in vain.

Liang Xu continued: "Although Brother Zhao Fan reads very well, he has always been protected too well by his family, and his hands-on ability is really miserable. So I want to give him more opportunities to practice and let him exercise. ”

Tai Shici still felt that Liang Xu's explanation could not completely solve the doubts in his heart, because Zhao Fan called Liang Xu the master, if the two families were originally world friends, there should be no situation of selling themselves.

Liang Xu saw that Tai Shici's expression was different, as if he didn't believe his words, and he was uneasy, for fear that his identity would be a goof, so he asked, "Brother Taishi, do you still have any doubts?" ”

Tai Shi Ci didn't plan to ask, but when he heard Liang Xu ask it himself, Tai Shi Ci, who was still at the age of curiosity, still asked: "Why does Zhao Fan call you master?" ”

As soon as Liang Xu heard that it was a matter of title, he used his scoundrel statement to fool people again: "He likes to call it that, and I can't help it." It's like if I asked you to call me by my name, if you want to call me Xiaoliang Gongzi, I'm also helpless. ”

Looking at Liang Xu's "helpless" expression, Tai Shici had a feeling of eating flies: It was Zhao Fan who was talking about it just now, why did he get involved with himself?

On the way, Zhao Fan gradually decreased his fear of life as the number of exchanges with strangers increased, and then Zhao Fan applied the knowledge he learned from books to his daily life, fully demonstrating his superb learning ability, which made Tai Shici look at him with admiration.

After a few days of getting along, Tai Shici probably figured out the relationship between Liang Xu and his family.

It turned out that Zhao Yue'er was really the daughter-in-law of the Liang family, but it was not what she thought she was, but Zhao Yue'er was the future daughter-in-law of her eldest brother Liang Sheng.

And Zhao Feng is indeed Zhao Yue'er's elder brother, and Liang Xu looks like a master-servant relationship, but there are no masters of rich families sitting between the two at all, and the servants can only stand next to them, and they look more like friends.

On Zhao Fan's side, Liang Xu will not only arrange a lot of various tasks for Zhao Fan, but also discuss the content of the book with Zhao Fan from time to time.
