Moreover, in this era, it is a blessing to make cattle and horses for the eldest master, and if you want to sell yourself to a rich family as a slave or even a slave, you even have to give gifts to others......

All the refugees were concentrated in the compound of the Fang family, where the space was limited, and more than 200 people crowded in at once, which seemed very crowded, and many people stood outside the courtyard gate, but except for the sobbing of some old women and the noise of children, the scene was very quiet.

After the scribes and servants who came to handle it said goodbye, Zhu Da turned over the wall, and only here would everyone see him, he stretched out his hand and pressed down, and immediately became quieter.

"From today on, you are my Zhu Da's family, and from today on, if I Zhu Da has a bite to eat, you will have a bite to eat." Judah stood at the head of the wall and said in a loud voice.

When these words were spoken, the scene became quieter, and even the sobs of the old man and woman stopped, and the children were infected by this atmosphere, and they didn't dare to speak out unconsciously, and everyone looked up at Zhu Da on the wall.

"The little one will be a member of the Zhu family in the future!"

"The villain is willing to be a cow and a horse for the Zhu family!"

"This life will be the Zhu family in the future!"

The crowd boiled in an instant, you shouted one by one, and the originally somewhat dull people were also infected by this atmosphere, followed by shouting and shouting, if it was really a good person who had a good life and was sold as a slave and a servitude, of course there was no excitement and joy, but more than a month ago it was on the verge of despair, and it seemed that it was going to be mixed up this winter, and he and his family were going to freeze and starve to death, and suddenly he was taken in, with such treatment, he could be fed and clothed, he could have dignity, and he didn't feel how he did when he went to the past to eat only one meal, When I recovered from the despair of freezing and starvation, I felt afraid, and I felt that what would happen if I didn't come to defect, and I was even more grateful to Zhu Da, not to mention the next food, clothing, housing and transportation, even more than the life of many people when they didn't break their homes, and what is even more rare is that it is a little more decent than then.

In the past month or so, as a servant of Zhu Da, he has gained respect that the good people have never had before, and for these young men with strong blood, the awe and awe-inspiring they faced made them feel excited.

"Kill sheep and vegetables tonight!" Zhu Da raised his voice again, the following is uproar, although it is the New Year's Pass, but the mutton is not expensive, Datong here to raise sheep, every winter will be slaughtered in large quantities, anyway, in such a cold weather will not rot, and some time ago the smoke is critical, four miles and eight towns into the city, sheep people want not to lose their blood, can only kill sheep and sell meat, but meat is not everyone can afford to eat, even if it is sold cheap, not many people will buy, the only big seller is Zhu Da's side, the meat is stored in the open air in several houses in the city, frozen hard will not rot.

Although there are still ten days before the New Year, Zhu Da and the others are noisy as if it has been the New Year, and some people outside are really confused, and they can't help but whisper: "In the future, when a son is born, it will be someone else's cattle and horses, what is there to be happy about?" ”

What surprised Zhu Da was the Dong family brothers, these two people can use bows and arrows and their archery skills are not too bad, Zhu Da is ready to use the living deed this time, that is, the kind of contract that allows slaves to redeem themselves, although there are also regulations on the number of years, but after all, it is a cage, I never thought that Dong Zhen directly stated that there was no such reason, their brothers and everyone else are the same, so they signed the death deed together, Zhu Da was an accident, and he could figure it out afterwards, one is that there is nowhere to go, and the other is that the treatment here is not bad, they are afraid of being "looked at differently".

That Wang Hu and Wang Xiong actually asked if they wanted to sign a contract to be slaves, and it didn't seem like a joke when they said this, but Zhu Da didn't take this stubble at all, and still insisted on letting the other party be the leader.

After the division of master and servant was redetermined, the training still had to be trained, but it ended earlier than usual, a few cauldrons were set up here, and the bare sheep that were peeled and cleaned up were cut into pieces, everyone was beaming, seeing that it was getting dark, and the city gate was about to be closed, Zhu Da and Qin Juren said hello, and Zhou Qingyun came to the house where the refugees were settled.

"Master, the Li family's caravan has entered the city, and the Yang family's family has come with them."

"That Yang family?"

"It's the Yang family who went to Yumen to be the president of Qian."

Zhu Da was stunned, he naturally remembered the Yang family who betrayed Qin Chuan back then, after Qin Chuan was raised, the other party also came to the door to show goodwill, it was impossible to forget and ignore, but he didn't expect the other party to come over with the Li family caravan, what was more shocking than the Yang family was the Li family caravan, he also thought that the other party would be in a relatively safe military city fortress, and he would return after the situation was clear, but Zhu Da quickly began to laugh at himself This stunned, not everyone is as worried about the sky beacon fire as himself, when there is no beacon smoke warning and it is too peaceful for several days, The exact news of the border pass will also come over, and many people's worries will disappear, since there is no worry, then naturally everything is as usual, not to mention that now that the New Year is approaching, going home for the New Year is a big matter than the sky, and the Li family caravan can rush back or rush back.

It is not a problem to place a caravan of more than 100 people in the county, and there is no need for Zhu Da to arrange it, so Zhu Da stays here and wants to celebrate with everyone who is "new" to the Zhu family, although everyone thinks that he should go to receive the Li family caravan.

“...... Brother Li is indeed a distinguished guest over there, but you are more important to me, you are my nobleman......" Zhu Da's words were a little incomprehensible, but everyone was very moved.

The meat and dry food in the evening are enough, but no alcohol is provided, although the atmosphere is very good, but it ends very early, and after the night shift is arranged, someone from the Qin family came, saying that there was a distinguished guest at home who wanted Zhu Da and Zhou Qingyun to meet.

Anyway, Zhu Da and Zhou Qingyun are both juniors, and they are still famous figures in Huairen County, Qin Juren really wants to have distinguished guests over there, and they must introduce each other, otherwise it will be rude, but when he was called over, Zhu Da was a little puzzled, there were distinguished guests who went to visit Qin's house, and he didn't know anything.

After asking after arriving at the Qin family's house, he knew who the "distinguished guest" was, but it was the Yang family who entered the city with the Li family caravan, which made Zhu Da very surprised, no matter how close the generals were, the identities were also very different, with Qin Xiucai's identity really not in his eyes, could it be that a few men from the Yang family who supported the façade also came over?

The aroma of wine and meat still remained in the living room of the Qin family, and now that the banquet had been removed, Qin Chuan and an old man were sitting there drinking tea, and two people were sitting far away.

Seeing Zhu Da come in, the two people sitting at the bottom hurriedly got up, their attitude was quite polite, these two are strong men in their twenties, and at a glance they know that they are from the Jiangmen family, and the old man is forty or fifty years old, with a white beard, and looks a little similar to Yang Xiong, looking at it makes people feel "old and strong".

"Old Zhongjun, this is my family's unsuccessful Zhu Da and Zhou Qingyun, you two come and see Yang Lao Zhongjun, call the old man." Qin Chuan made a brief introduction.

The so-called "Chinese army" refers to the officers in the camp, holding the flag and issuing orders, and the position is very important, but the person who is usually called this is often the butler of the military general in the army.

Zhu Da hurriedly stepped forward to salute, hugged his fists and said: "I've seen Uncle Yang, there are a lot of affairs today, and I didn't come to accompany him, it's really lazy." ”

"In the end, it is the righteous son of Master Qin, this style doesn't look like a knife and a bow, but like a scholar." The old soldier got up from his seat and politely made a gesture of support before sitting back in his seat.

It seems that the "distinguished guest" is this one, but the etiquette and Qin Chuan's introduction are a little subtle, sure enough, after Zhu Da and Zhou Qingyun sat down, Qin Chuan said with a smile: "My righteous brother Yang Xiong is the old Chinese army saw the big one since he was a child, and later followed Yang Ying's eldest brother to the border guard, and he took care of it very properly, and he could be half of the Yang family." ”

It is the butler of the Yang family, not only the relationship between President Qian and Yang Xiong, but also the guerrilla or the butler of the general, this status is very unusual, Yang Ying is the general of the West Road of Datong Town, guarding one side, as his cronies and housekeepers, his status is really not low, but I am afraid that the garrison, the capital and other powerful military attaches over there will have to be polite and flattering to him.

But Zhu Da also heard that his father-in-law had a thorn in his words, with his understanding of Qin Chuan, although his father-in-law had peaks and valleys in his heart, he was very sophisticated and sleek in dealing with people, and he had a very good grasp of proportion, even if he was betrayed by Yang Xiong back then, the two sides still smiled amiably when they met afterwards, talking about brotherhood.

From the time he entered the house to the present, Zhu Da's attention has been on the old Chinese army of the Yang family, Qin Juren was subconsciously ignored by him, and when he looked over at this moment, he found that although Qin Chuan had a smile on his face, there was no anger and anger in his smile, and it was so easy to see that he was obviously not very prepared to hide it.

"Since the two little brothers are here, let's talk about it openly, in the past, our business here in Datong was in the palm of Datong City, and a little further south, the silver earned from trading was scraped away by the masters on both sides, everyone's life is very hard, they are all trying to find a way but can't think of a way, I never thought that Brother Zhu tossed out the situation again." Speaking of this, the old Chinese soldier of the Yang family took a sip of tea, and he said that this is the current situation that everyone knows, Datong City is the core of Datong Border Town, and Biguan City is the core of Taiyuan Town, and of course they occupy the majority of interests.

The old Chinese soldier glanced at Qin Juren, and then swept Zhu Da and Zhou Qingyun, who were calm, and continued to speak with a smile, as a slave, he was inferior in front of Qin Chuan, and he had to be polite in the face of Zhu Da, this old Chinese army did not owe anything in terms of etiquette, but when it came to backing and real power, he really didn't care about Qin Chuan and Zhu Da, so there was nothing to hide in his words.

"The people in the military city everywhere eat and chew a lot, and they have to do some business to make up for it, but they can't go too south, and they are bullied when they go to the prosperous places, and the damn Tartar tosses such a scene again, this business is becoming more and more impossible, and the arrival of the caravan in that Daizhou really scared everyone, and then I heard that Brother Zhu actually made a situation in Huairen County."
