The six of them walked slowly, and only arrived at Zhengjiaji when the sun was in the west, and Qin Chuan, a talented person, was a figure in Zhengjiaji, and he knew a lot of people, so naturally no one made trouble in front of the door and went home smoothly.

Since Qin Xiucai said it at the ferry, Zhu Da has been paying attention to the passers-by and idlers around him along the way, but he has not found any suspicious characters, and he is not disappointed, after all, it is normal not to see it.

When Qin Qin was returned that day, the Qin family looked empty, but today there were three people waiting in front of the door, looking at their age and style, they were not guards, this should be the servants of the Qin family, respectfully greeted Qin Xiucai, someone went to pick up Qin Qin, and someone went to lead a horse or something.

"This is Zhu Da, this is Zhou Qingyun, everything is the same as Qin Qin, I will order the rest." As soon as he entered the courtyard gate, Qin Xiucai gave a direct order.

There was also a woman who had seen it at that time waiting in the courtyard, and these four people hurriedly agreed after listening to Qin Xiucai's words, and there was nothing surprised or curious when they looked at Zhu Da and Zhou Qingyun, they should have greeted them in advance.

Zhu Da and Zhou Qingyun and the father and daughter of the Qin family all lived in the courtyard of the second house, but they lived in a side room, and a servant led Zhu Da and them over, Qin Xiucai said behind him: "Wait for dinner together, have a good rest today, you will not be idle from tomorrow morning." “

There are two beds in the spacious room, one with complete utensils, although it is not brand new, but there is not much damage, it is already very good for Zhu Da and Zhou Qingyun, after all, compared with Baibao Village, it is heaven and earth, and here there are also two half-worn robes and clothes specially prepared for them to change, and the person who arranged it is clear that "these are all clean clothes that have been washed by the past, they were worn by the old master back then, and the two young masters will wear them first, and they will ask the tailor to make a new one for you in two days", this "young master" title made the two uncomfortable.

The dinner was very rich, needless to say the staple food, and the meat and eggs were also complete, Qin Xiucai said with a smile: "I heard that you have to catch fish in order to keep your body up, so you don't need to come here, there are no delicacies from the mountains and seas, but there are good and full foods." ”

From yesterday to now, hurried away, careful vigilance, Zhu Da and Zhou Qingyun were tired and hungry, and when Qin Xiucai finished speaking and moved the chopsticks, the two of them immediately began to gobble up, and even Qin Qin's appetite improved.

"Don't go out these days, there are guards around the house, and the risk is still very high before the results are out." Qin Xiucai reminded them.

From the beginning of the ceremony of collecting relatives to the present, the relationship between them has become a lot closer on the road, but they really stayed and ate at the same table, because of all the strangeness around them, everyone was a little uncomfortable, Qin Xiucai didn't deliberately do anything, just urged them to wash and rest early.

After Zhu Da and Zhou Qingyun entered their house, the two of them were a lot more relaxed, and they were just about to speak, when someone outside brought in hot water and various utensils for washing, and the two of them stopped again, the servant knew that the people from the village might not be suitable for these, and gently instructed them how to do it, Zhou Qingyun was very stiff to do this, Zhu Da was okay, compared with the present, the lack of hygiene back then was much better than now, but no matter how you are not used to it, the conditions of Baibao Village are there, and it is impossible to achieve it, The living conditions of the Qin family are much stronger, Zhu Da feels happy from the inside out, but Zhou Qingyun is awkward, for him, not only does he have no concept, but he also feels that it is too much.

After washing up and changing into clean clothes, Zhu Da felt refreshed, plus the house had already burned the kang and the fire wall, and was baked by the heat, the whole person was going to soften, and even yawned a few times, Zhou Qingyun was about the same over there, and the two of them wanted to sleep.

"We still have to keep our weapons handy, and we need to be vigilant at night." Zhu Da reminded him, and Zhou Qingyun had no objection.

“...... In the past, Xiang Bo and I had to go hunting, to sell salt, and to be busy eating meat and practicing martial arts, but then with you, we had to go to the river to catch fish, if we were in such a family, how much time could we save practicing martial arts......."

Zhou Qingyun said vaguely there, Zhu Da was just about to answer, but he listened to the silence over there, his breathing became even, and it was obvious that he was asleep, Zhu Da reached out and touched the short sword, the heavy weight was reassuring, and he also fell asleep.

The young man recovered quickly, Zhu Da didn't get up late the next day, and woke up at the same hour as usual, Zhou Qingyun was the same, the window paper had just turned white, and there was a faint rooster crowing outside, and it was even clearer that the movement of sprinkling and sweeping outside the window was obviously, it was obviously the servants of the Qin family who were busy.

"Let's go out and help." Juda spoke.

Seeing that Zhou Qingyun was a little puzzled, Zhu Da said again: "Others call us young masters, we can't treat ourselves as young masters, we have come here to learn skills and make progress, if we slack off, it is better to go home." ”

Zhou Qingyun nodded, the two of them went out after wearing a sharp rope, the one who swept the floor was busy with a big broom, and there was not much dust on the ground, it should have been sprinkled with water, Zhu Da stepped forward with a smile and said, "This uncle, I don't know what to call it?" ”

The servant was in his forties, and his back was a little rickety, but he was startled when he heard this, and waved his hand again and again and said: "Kill it, kill it, don't let the young master call me like this, just call me Lao Wang." “

"Uncle Wang, let's help you ......" Zhu Da smiled and stretched out his hand, this kind of polite routine was used a lot back then, and it is also easy to use now.

"I can't do it, I can't do it." Uncle Wang hurriedly retreated, his face full of panic.

Because it was early in the morning, everyone was afraid of noisy other sleeping people, so they all suppressed their voices, Zhu Da took a step forward with a smile, polite, as long as he insisted, it was not polite.

At this time, Qin Xiucai walked out of the house, he was already fully dressed, but his face was not good-looking, and he said coldly: "Are you here to do housework and sweep the floor?" ”

When he said this, Uncle Wang hurriedly bowed his head and stepped back, Qin Xiucai walked down the steps with a calm face, and said to the front: "Zhu Da, you are witty and alert, can analyze the general trend, and know a lot of practices, but you are occasionally a little old-fashioned in terms of human feelings, and the person who really taught you the ability is unknown to everyone, so I didn't ask, but now I can see that it is not a member of the yamen who has committed a crime and has been dismissed, and only they will teach you like this!" ”

There are very few officials in the government with grades, and those who run and practice are officials and errand servants, but these two kinds of people have real power to do practical things, but they are considered lowly servants, and they do sit down a lot of things that hurt nature and reason, and their reputation among the people is very poor, and the officials know how to write, are familiar with government affairs and practice, and are good at flexibility.

Zhu Da naturally would not deny and refute these words, but the other party's words came to his heart, Zhu Da's face was already red at this time, he thought that he was an adult when he thought and did things, and he couldn't say anything, and there were definitely not many omissions, but he didn't expect to be pointed at the key point by Qin Xiucai, and the words just now were like slapping him in public, and he woke him up fiercely, and Zhu Da found that he had forgotten his heart a little.

What is the purpose of doing all these things, is to become stronger, is to live and live well in this era of the law of the jungle, but while doing it, the purpose of doing things has partly become comprehensive, which makes people marvel "This teenager is like an adult", confused by this boring vanity, Qin Xiucai's ruthless few words can be regarded as a slap in the face.

The atmosphere in the courtyard was very embarrassing, even Zhou Qingyun, who had always been dull, was very uncomfortable, Zhu Da did not argue, no matter how witty he was at this time, he was humiliating himself, he blushed and clenched his fists and said: "What my father-in-law taught me is that I will go to practice martial arts." ”

Qin Xiucai nodded, didn't speak again, Zhu Da and Zhou Qingyun went to the front yard, the two of them practiced the knife one by one, Zhou Qingyun originally wanted to ask a few words, but after seeing Zhu Da's expression, he didn't make a sound, and after half an hour, someone came to greet him, saying that breakfast was ready.

At the dinner table, Qin Xiucai did not mention the reprimand, but gently reminded Zhu Da that if there is anything to speak directly, it is very convenient to buy it here, the girl Qin Qin has fully recovered, chatting with great interest, for Qin Qin, the arrival of Zhu Da and Zhou Qingyun makes her not so lonely, and they are two companions who are not strangers, so she will naturally be happy.

After breakfast, looking at the dishes and chopsticks on the table, Zhu Da hesitated, but this action made Qin Xiucai couldn't help laughing, and waved his hand again and again and said: "Even Qin Qin has to help clean up the dishes and chopsticks, don't stretch out your hand to watch." ”

Zhu Da smiled bitterly and cleaned up with Zhou Qingyun, thinking that he looked like a real teenager, what the adults said, he was suffering from gains and losses here, and he was at a loss.

Send the dishes and chopsticks to the kitchen, and there is the "Sister Cheng" who washes it next, Zhu Da noticed that the breakfast eaten by the servants of the Qin family was the same as that of the father and daughter of the Qin family, and he had also heard about the difference between the master and the servant.

Just returned to the living room with breakfast, a servant came to report, saying that there was a "Master Yuan" asking to see, Qin Xiucai signaled to invite in, and let Zhu Da and Zhou Qingyun, who were going to practice martial arts, stay, Qin Qin was very lively and active at home, as soon as she heard that there was a guest, she immediately ran out to see the freshness, in the past, the girl went out to run around every day, and after the accident, she was trapped in the yard, and it was estimated that she felt bored.

Qin Qin's movements were too fast, Qin Xiu had already run out of the door when she was about to call her, Qin Chuan shook his head again and again, Zhu Da thought that this shaking was because he thought his daughter was naughty, but he didn't think that a scream sounded outside the house immediately, and he heard the sound of footsteps, Qin Qin, who had just rushed out, actually ran back again, with a look of fear on his face, and plunged into Qin Chuan's arms, only to say "terrible" there.

After hearing this scream, Zhu Da and Zhou Qingyun were both on guard, thinking that something was happening outside, but Qin Xiucai smiled helplessly, stroked her daughter's hair and said, "Let you run around, I'm scared!" ”

After a few words of appeasement, Qin Xiucai got up from his seat and said to Zhu Da and Zhou Qingyun: "You go out with me, the head of the coach for you has arrived!" ”
