Before the dinner in the evening of the same day, Zhu Yuanzhang and a few long-term workers who helped him plough the fields had not yet returned, but the dining room of the Majia side courtyard was several times more lively than usual, and dozens of long-term and short-term workers who participated in the group beating were all gathered in the hall, and those who did not dare to go gathered around them, listening to them boast about how brave they were during the day.

In the countryside, people's lives are relatively simple. It's rare that something can be used to talk about it after cooking, so it's natural to talk about it.

A long-term worker sat on the table for eating, patted the table with his calloused dirty hands and laughed loudly: "Don't you see, how cowardly the group of kings in Ren Village is today, Lao Tzu slashed it with a stick, and the goods without eggs shrank in fright, and then I gave him two sticks, and the goods actually cried, and tears flowed down the cheeks, hahaha...... Le die Lao Tzu! ”

"Wow, that's amazing? I knew we were going with us. Several long-term workers next to him showed envious eyes.

At this time, another short-term worker who participated in the fight couldn't look at it, and said: "I said Liu Wu, don't brag about it, did you knock down that person?" I obviously saw that the person was knocked down by Zhu Ba, you kid just beat the water dog in the past, as if he was so powerful, phew! ”

Liu Wulao's face was slightly red, and he hurriedly said: "I didn't say that it wasn't Zhu Ba who knocked him down, I said that after Zhu Ba defeated him, I beat that kid." ”

As soon as he said this, the auditors suddenly became energetic, and a little thin man squeezed over and said in a low voice: "Zhu Ba's body is about the same as mine, and he can also defeat people?" Isn't that a joke? ”

"You say you're a kid...... You still don't know how powerful Zhu Ba is? At noon today, he knocked down the sixth child with one punch on the field stalk outside, and the sixth child's stomach is still hurting......"

"Zhu Ba is amazing this time, forty-seven big guys, he knocked down twenty-five, do you say it's amazing? The fist was like a hammer, and no one could get a second blow to whoever fell to the ground. ”

"I'll tell you, Zhu Ba today, that's really ......"

“……”

After some foam, the story of Zhu Bayong's battle against the Zhang family in Chengcheng was made up like this, and the faces of a group of farmers in the dining room were extremely complicated.

"Isn't it, Zhu Ba can be so powerful? That...... I used to laugh at him a lot, if he punched me......"

"My family didn't take Zhu Ba to open the shabu...... It turns out that he is so powerful, this ...... What can I do? If he knocks on the door, won't I be finished? ”

"Scare ......"

After listening to the daytime fight, they only felt a faint pain in their stomachs, and they seemed to have been punched by Zhu Ba, and they couldn't speak.

At this moment, the figure at the door of the dining room swayed, and Bai Shui Wang Er walked in with his feet raised. Seeing that the hall was full of people, all chatting about the fight during the day, he was not surprised, and sat down on the bench in the corner, waiting for the time for dinner.

"Second Brother Wang is here...... Several long-term workers who had bullied Zhu Ba leaned over, crowded around Wang Er, and asked gossipingly: "Second Brother Wang, Zhu Ba defeated twenty-five big men today, is this true?" ”

"Second Brother Wang, Zhu Ba has become powerful? Is it true? ”

"Second Brother Wang, we have bullied Zhu Ba before, he is so powerful now, if he comes back to bully me, I can't stand it, you can help, say to Zhu Ba, ......"

Wang Er shook his head with a smile and said, "A group of pickled sourdough, is Zhu Ba a cautious person like you?" If he had been small-minded, he would have beaten you all down when you were bullying him. He was bullied by you but endured it, and saved his strength to beat outsiders, then he was called a good man. ”

"I see......" everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

Wang Er added another sentence: "Zhu Ba will come back in a while, and he will obediently go and apologize to others." ”

"Of course, for sure......"

Having said this, there was a hearty laugh outside the house, and the four long-term workers hugged Zhu Ba and walked into the hall. These four long-term workers are the people who went to help Zhu Yuanzhang plough the fields just now, and they are the first batch of people who were impressed by Zhu Yuanzhang's personal charm after he came to this world.

Zhu Yuanzhang walked in the front, his figure was thin, and he looked light and fluttering, but the four tall and sturdy long-term workers around him had faintly served him as the leader, and their attitude towards Zhu Yuanzhang was admiration with a little flattery.

This can't be blamed on them, because even if Zhu Yuanzhang doesn't do anything or say anything, he naturally has a unique temperament of a leader, which is what later generations usually call a strong aura.

As soon as he walked into the dining room, Zhu Yuanzhang saw a large group of people coming in front of him, most of them were people who had bullied him before, or guys who had sneered at him......

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded and said in a low voice: "I forgot!" ”

The people who bullied him were suddenly overjoyed, put down the big stone in their hearts, and hugged Zhu Yuanzhang to the corner of the house with the four long-term workers to sit down, and then a group of people chattered around him and asked about the day, Zhu Yuanzhang showed a formulaic smile on his face, and briefly told the things of the day, when he told the story, the focus was not on how he defeated the enemy at all, but all about other people's affairs, such as how badly Liu Wu beat the enemy, how ruthless Yang Chao was when he beat people, and how well Qi was in charge of command, Wang Er saved many brothers......

Anyone who went to participate in the group fight during the day, no one was disappointed, even if he made a small move, he was praised by Zhu Yuanzhang, and those who had no advantages could also boast of their advantages, and those who already had advantages were even praised to the sky.

This is a method commonly used by Zhu Yuanzhang when he first became the commander of the Ninth Master in his previous life, when he had nine soldiers who had just been assigned to him, and he had no mutual understanding with him, and he was very strange and disobedient. In order to make these nine soldiers his right-hand men as soon as possible, he memorized the names of each soldier and did not hesitate to praise them.

The human heart is a very strange thing, for example, a soldier who was originally very timid, after a fierce ideological struggle, summoned up the courage to plot against an enemy. If you laugh at such a person for plotting against his enemies, he may be even more decadent. But if you praise him for his bravery and acknowledge his exploits in defeating the enemy, then he will be braver next time, and he will be grateful to those who praise him.

Zhu Yuanzhang simply praised his fellow partners, and immediately won the favor of everyone, more and more people surrounded him, and others called him from "Zhu Ba" to "Zhu Ba".

After a while, Steward Qi came, he didn't come alone today, and there were several people behind him. Zhu Yuanzhang turned his head to take a look, and his attention immediately turned away......

There were five people behind the Qi steward, and four of them were wearing green clothes and hats, which were completely different from the long-term and short-term workers who lived in the side hall. The clothes worn by the long-term and short-term workers were made of the cheapest burlap, but the men in the green coats and hats wore them made of fine linen and dyed blue.

Zhu Ba's memory bank has a description of this kind of dress, this is the clothes of the Ma family in Baishui, which belongs to the domestic slaves who were sold to the Ma family, although they have lost their personal freedom, but the treatment they get is much better than that of the long-term and short-term workers in the side courtyard, they eat well, dress warmly, and have monthly silver to get. These families can also enter and leave the front and inner courtyards, but the long-term and short-term workers do not have this qualification.

Walking among the four family members was a young man under twenty years of age, with a pointed face, white skin, and a sparse beard on his lips. He was dressed in very expensive silk clothes, with his hands behind his back, and he looked very arrogant. This person Zhu Ba also knows, he is the second young master of the Ma family......

Steward Qi cautiously led the second young master and the four family members to the dining room, and then opened his throat and shouted, "Kill talents, don't hurry up and ask the second young master for peace." ”

The long-term and short-term workers were startled and bowed together. Zhu Yuanzhang blended in the crowd and also bowed pretendedly.

Steward Qi then said loudly: "The second young master already knows about the fight in Xigu Village today. He praised us, saying that we played well and earned face for our Ma family, and today we specially came to the side courtyard to give everyone a reward, why don't you hurry up and thank the second young master for his great kindness? ”

A group of long-term and short-term workers hurriedly bowed to the second young master, which can be regarded as thanking the second young master for rewarding him...... Zhu Yuanzhang bowed with the crowd impatiently, but his face was very calm, and he couldn't see any impatience at all.

Compared to him, Wang Er was an outlier, he sat in the corner of the room, neither bowing to the second young master, nor showing goodwill to the Qi steward, as if this matter had nothing to do with him.

Wang Er is a hero, of course he disdains to do these things, but Zhu Yuanzhang is a hero, and the gap between a hero and a hero is not whether he dares to stretch, but whether he can bend. Haojie can stretch but can't bend, but Xiaoxiong can bend and stretch.

Steward Qi once again saw the difference between Wang Er and Zhu Ba, and couldn't help nodding secretly, thinking: Wang Er is not a person who can be summoned by himself, but Zhu Ba can be cultivated.

He didn't know that although Wang Er was unruly and didn't look good, whoever was good to him would be dead to whom. Although Zhu Ba seems to be easy to call, in the end, he has to bite back......
