Chapter 45: Subduing Chang Pingchuan
Zhu Hongyu sat on the main seat and motioned for Chang Pingchuan to sit beside her.
Chang Pingchuan looked at Zhu Hongyu in surprise, and sat down after a few minutes.
"I didn't know that the captives had to be reported to the police if they escaped. Now I've come up with a way to get you away and I won't have to go to court. Want to hear about it? ”
Chang Pingchuan nodded, still looking at Zhu Hongyu with suspicion.
"Why help me?"
"Because you're good-looking...... I just like to look good at men's faces. It's destined to suffer in the future......"
Chang Pingchuan laughed out loud, and his resistance was not as strong as just now.
"My opinion is that you make a small mistake tonight, I will let the second dog lock you up in the room in the corner of the courtyard, nominally you reflect, there is a dog hole in that room, you should be able to get out. After you escape, I'll report to the police in a few days. As for whether you can escape or not, it is up to you to create. How is it? ”
Chang Pingchuan shook his head, he looked at Zhu Hongyu, and the upper and lower lips fanned quickly, as if he was about to cry.
"You...... What a nice guy. ”
"Of course, the deed of sale can't be given to you, otherwise it would be too fake. But I'll give you two taels ......."
"Master, don't say any more, I'm not leaving."
Zhu Hongyu pretended to frown and asked, "What's the matter, if you're not satisfied with this plan, you still can't trust me?" ”
"Although I am from Yanguo, I know that loyalty comes first. You saved me from that hell, and I owe it to you to repay the favor. ”
"I don't want to be like this, it's not good for the beast to be trapped in a cage, it's hard for you."
"I just saw that you are a good master who makes clothes out of linen for these subordinates."
Zhu Hongyu took a sip of tea and said pretendedly: "If you don't want to leave, why don't I send you three coins of silver every month, you can save enough money to redeem yourself, and then go back to serve the court of Yan Kingdom." Luckily? ”
Chang Pingchuan stood up and knelt at the feet of Zhu Hongyu at once.
Zhu Hongyu needed to be helped, but Chang Pingchuan was not helped.
"Until I save enough money, I will be your dog, I will not run away, and I will not embarrass you!"
"Good!" Zhu Hongyu smiled triumphantly, thinking that it was still a martial artist who was easy to deceive.
"In this way, you don't have to do much in my house, just take care of the security of the house. Do the rest of the work. ”
Before Chang Pingchuan could cry, Zhu Hongyu opened the door, and Amber happened to come back, seeing Chang Pingchuan kneeling on the ground and crying, he was a little confused.
"Sister?"
"I'll take Chang Pingchuan to the hospital, you go upstairs and go to rest, you've worked hard these days!"
"Sister, I'm really not hard. Then I went up and rested. ”
Saying that, Zhu Hongyu took Chang Pingchuan to the first courtyard and opened a side room that was better than Ergou. Inside there is a simple shelf bed, and a shabby wardrobe.
"Anyway, you can go if you want, tell me, I'll be prepared."
Chang Pingchuan cried again, these are all things that Zhu Hongyu thought of.
If a person stays in a desperate situation for a long time, he will die if he is given a little light. But the shelf life of this loyalty is long and short, so she gave Chang Pingchuan a redemption period, at least during this time period, he will be loyal.
"Okay, I won't bother, tell me what you lack, and I'll get it for you."
Zhu Hongyu turned around and walked out of the door, and came to Ergou's house again.
The second dog swept the house familiarly, and when he saw Zhu Hongyu coming, he hurriedly saluted.
"Master!"
"Just call me Miss in the future, and now you go out with me to buy rice and vegetables."
As the sun fell, the two of them went out, and Zhu Hongyu walked to the field. Their family's land has long been barren, and many weeds have grown in the field, and Zhu Hongyu thinks that she will rent out this land in the future and become a small landlord herself.
Isn't it beautiful to sit and collect rent?
Looking at other people's fields, there are still many people working at this time.
"Brother Gu!" Zhu Hongyu saw that her former neighbor was farming with her two sons, and she was so tired that she was sweating profusely.
When Brother Gu saw Zhu Hongyu, he was very happy.
"Zhu Jia Nizi, why are you here?"
Zhu Hongyu said: "I'll buy something, big brother, do you have any extra food at home, and the vegetables in the field, I want to buy some." ”
As she spoke, Zhu Hongyu took out a penny of silver and handed it to Brother Gu.
"Oh, that's too much!"
"I just buy so many things, vegetables, grains, oils, grains, anything."
"Okay, I'll get it for you."
Brother Gu said, picked some fresh vegetables from the field, took Zhu Hongyu home, and came out with a bag of rice from home.
Ergou followed Zhu Hongyu to fight rice and vegetables, and Zhu Hongyu just wanted to leave after buying things, but was stopped by Gu's sister-in-law who was working at home.
"Nizi, who is this? I haven't seen it before. ”
"This is our family's servant."
"Servant?" Sister-in-law Gu frowned and asked, "There are all servants?" We don't know when you started the house. ”
"It was someone else's house, and we bought it. When the house is cleaned up, I will invite the whole village to eat the flowing water mat. So buy rice and grain today. I'm going to another house. ”
Sister-in-law Gu was full of joy and said, "Since you want to invite guests to dinner, don't forget to call me!" ”
"Of course!"
Zhu Hongyu said goodbye to the Gu family. I went to other houses to buy rice and sugar, and the two of them carried them in their hands and on their shoulders. Put things in the kitchen that you don't have. A trip out, no less time. Zhu Hongyu can be regarded as changing the farmers she knows.
The two of them returned home and carried their things to the kitchen and put them down.
Taro was wearing the clothes he had changed from Yaxing, and he took a rag to clean up, helping the two of them put things down.
The rice is placed in a rice jar, and the sugar is placed in a small jar.
"Miss, there is only salt at home now, and there is no chopping board or kitchen knife, how can I cook at night?"
"Now the things at home haven't been put in place, you simply cook a pot of porridge. Wash the greens, break them and stir-fry them. After a few days, the things at home were packed. It's been a hard few days. ”
"Yes!"
Taro listened to Zhu Hongyu's words and immediately lit the fire to cook.
Zhu Hongyu sighed, there are so many things missing in this house, it is really better to stay in Sanguan Temple for a while, and it seems that she is ashamed to move in rashly.
By the way, Sanguan Temple...... Only then did Zhu Hongyu remember what she had said to Sister-in-law Gu just now, she moved to a new house and asked Runye to come over for a walk. I also have to inform the village to open a running water seat, and if you don't do that, you will be poked in the back.
"Taro, have you ever done any red cases before?"
"Helped the adults do it. General meat dishes and vegetarian dishes will be. ”
"There will be a banquet at home in a few days, Lingzhi and I will come over to help you, let's make sure that the banquet is more thoughtful."
Taro whispered "yes" and started cooking again.
Zhu Hongyu saw that the rice, oil, vegetables, and sugar were all neatly packed up by her in the blink of an eye, and she also let go of this hanging heart.
"Then I'll wait for you to serve food in the guest hall of the second courtyard, and we will all eat there in the future."
With that, Zhu Hongyu walked out of the kitchen, and when she walked into the courtyard, she saw her younger brother Zhanao coming back.
Zhan Ao was very happy to see his sister, after all, Zhu Hongyu didn't show up yesterday and locked herself in the house.
"Sister, are you busy today?"
"It's very busy, we're going to have a running water seat in a few days, you have to be at home, you can't be a shopkeeper anymore!"
Zhan Ao nodded hurriedly and said, "Yes, I also know that my sister is busy, and I don't want to go these days, so it's better to start tomorrow, I won't go to class, and even take a few days off." ”
Zhu Hongyu touched Zhan Ao's head and said with a smile: "It's true that the sun is coming out in the west, you weren't so sensible before." It feels like you're a school maniac. ”
"Sister, I want to tell you something."
Zhu Hongyu frowned, she knew that it must be something that would cost money.
"Say."
"I can't take the imperial examination this year, I heard that it will only start next year."
Well, Zhu Hongyu patted her head and knew that she had guessed wrong.
"Oh? What's going on, it was supposed to be this year's imperial examination? ”
Zhu Hongyu is still confused about the imperial examination, and she needs to understand it through Zhanao.
"Yes, I heard that the court is in turmoil, and the plague is only increasing, so I am afraid that the plague will be more serious if you start a department rashly. So it was changed to next year's imperial examination. Otherwise, there is a child department every year. ”
Only then did Zhu Hongyu understand that Zhan Ao studied so hard for this year's imperial examination.
"Brother, then you must have a good rest these days, I promise that you will definitely be able to win the gold list next year."
Zhan Ao smiled very happily, Zhu Hongyu knew that every student was looking forward to the holiday, and Zhan Ao had always restrained his nature.
It's because of this home, and everyone is fighting for this home.
Thinking of this, Zhu Hongyu's heart softened.
"Brother, let's go, I'll take you to recognize people, there are new changes in your house today."
Saying that, Zhu Hongyu took Zhan Ao downstairs, Lingzhi was sweeping in the yard, and when she saw Zhu Hongyu coming with a boy, she hurriedly greeted her.
"The slave has seen the eldest lady and the young master."
"This is Lingzhi, leave the affairs in the house to her in the future, you just need to study."
As she spoke, Zhu Hongyu took Zhan Ao into the house, and Zhan Ao saw that there was another stack of books on the table.
"Zhan Ao, today my sister went into the city, ordered furniture, and will send it to you in a few days."
"Sister."
Zhan Ao hugged Zhu Hongyu all of a sudden, and he didn't care about the etiquette of respect and inferiority, at this time, there was only affection.
"Okay, let's go to Xinghua Village with my sister tomorrow and go for a spin together, okay?"
"Good!"
Zhan Ao put down his schoolbag and changed into a pair of indoor shoes, Zhu Hongyu saw that Zhan Ao was going to change his clothes and returned to his room.
I saw that her house was cleaned up, and some rouge gouache was put on the dresser. Sure enough, she had a good eye at the time. Lingzhi is a clever maid.
When it was time to eat, the taro went up to the second floor and knocked on the door, saying that the meal was ready.
The three sisters and brothers entered the living hall, only to see that the food was placed on the table of the Eight Immortals, and Lingzhi and taro were standing aside.
Amber was hungry and sat down at the table at once, followed by Zhu Hongyu and Zhan Ao.
The taro is on the side, there are not many dishes, only two, but they are very regular.
"Sister, why don't they eat together."
"The master has the dignity of the master, and some things are good if they are not messed up, but they will change when they are messy."
Amber suddenly understood that their current identity and status had changed, and they had to learn from Zhao Li's family everywhere.
Taro really cooked according to her method, and this meal Zhu Hongyu ate less, and Amber and Zhan Ao were hungry for a long time, and they swept away the porridge and stir-fried vegetables at once.
Zhu Hongyu put down the chopsticks, and several people also put down the chopsticks.
Amber still habitually wanted to clean up the dishes and chopsticks, and Zhu Hongyu quickly grabbed Amber's hand when she saw this.
"Let's go to the front yard."
"Uh...... Oh yes. Amber realized that she didn't have to put away the dishes and chopsticks anymore, so she stood up crampedly and walked out the door with her sister. Zhan Ao also seemed to be planning to turn around, he still knew too little about this mansion.
The front yard was dark, and there were two lanterns hanging from the corridor, which glowed dimly.
Under the light, he could still see the road clearly, and when the three of them were halfway through, Chang Pingchuan suddenly jumped off the corridor.
Zhu Hongyu was startled, Amber was directly scared and cried, and Zhan Ao sat on the ground.
