Two more days passed.

The house slave bowed and trotted, came to Huang Zundao, and whispered, "Master, the news has arrived." ”

Huang Zundao was lying on a bamboo rocking chair, a maid behind him gently rocked the chair, and a maid next to him beat his legs. The creature didn't open his eyes, but said in a deep voice, "Tell me." ”

The house slave bent down closer: "There are four of them in that group, and they came by boat a few days ago. As soon as I got off the boat, I stayed at the inn and brought a few boxes. The boxes were heavy, and they were carried back and forth several times. ”

"What have they been doing these past two days?" Huang Zundao asked.

The house slave replied, "Walking around and talking to people everywhere may be choosing a place for the warehouse." ”

"That's fine." Huang Zundao sat up suddenly.

The house slave asked, "Master, these people shouldn't be liars, right?" ”

"What can you fool?" Huang Zundao said confidently, "The barren beach by the river is useless, even if you give it to them, you can still scrape away the land of the river beach?" From beginning to end, I didn't get half a penny. As soon as you start building a warehouse, let him take the money. Halfway through the construction, you can still sit on the ground and start the price, how many outsiders dare to turn their faces with me? If his deal is completed, Huangjiazhen will become a big town in the future. His business can't be done, and the warehouse can't be taken away, didn't I pick up a warehouse for nothing? ”

The house slave was convinced, and flattered: "The master is really clever, and we earn it both horizontally and vertically!" ”

Huang Zundao sneered: "A yellow-mouthed child, relying on the power of the family, dares to pose in front of the old man." The old man ate more salt than he ate. Don't be in a hurry, let him choose the river beach slowly, and you send someone over to help choose. As long as the silver is taken out to level the beach, even if they are trapped, I will have to control the future affairs. ”

"What a good means, sir." The house slave was sincerely admired.

Huang Zundao advised: "Before they give out the money, you let people serve them well, whether it is coaxing or cheating, don't let them leave Huangjia Town." ”

"I'll do it." The house slave bowed and retreated.

"Wait. That Jishui Xiucai, who is handsome and well-dressed, seems to be a romantic person," Huang Zundao patted the little hand of the maid who beat his legs, and said, "Xiaocui, you go to the inn to stay for a few days, and make that Xiucai happy, and let him pay the silver as soon as possible." ”

The leg-beating maid knelt down in a panic: "The master spares his life, the master spares his life!" ”

Huang Zundao was angry and said, "What are you afraid of?" Get up. This is an errand for you, and you will be rewarded for doing a good job. First, you have to coax that Xiucai to be happy, don't let him leave Huangjia Town; secondly, looking for an opportunity to coax him to pay for the silver, he said that the workers were difficult to find, and the sooner the beach was leveled, the better; Third, raise a few more eyes, listen to them more, and whisper to the innkeeper if you get any news. ”

The maid Xiaocui is still colorless, she is going to warm the bed for outsiders.

Meritorious service or something, it's all nonsense.

Master Huang doesn't like to be unclean, and when she comes back from her errands, don't think about being a maid in the inner courtyard again.

"What are you doing? Just go! Huang Zundao roared.

Xiao Cui trembled with fright, hurriedly led the order to leave, and was escorted to the inn by the house slave.

waited until noon, and Zhao Han finally came back from inspecting the river beach.

The house slave immediately stepped forward: "Zhao Xianggong is delicate, and there is no one to serve him when he goes out, so my master specially sent a person who served tea and poured water." ”

Zhao Han picked up the maid's chin with a folding fan, and said in a flirtatious tone: "Yes, Xiaojia Jasper, I feel sorry for you." You can't find a better one in such remote villages and towns. Ben Gongzi reluctantly made it difficult and accepted this maid. ”

"It's good if Zhao Xianggong likes it," the house slave nodded and said, "A country maidservant girl can be favored by Zhao Xianggong, and it is also a blessing that she has cultivated for several lifetimes." ”

As he spoke, his face changed, and he scolded: "Xiaocui, don't kneel down and thank you yet!" ”

Xiaocui wanted to cry without tears, knelt on the ground and kowtowed and said, "Thank you for your great kindness." ”

Zhao Han's nostrils turned to the sky, and he said disdainfully: "Get up." You are such a good person, if you are on the Jishui side, my son really can't look down on it. ”

Xiao Cui stood up slowly, lowered her head and didn't speak, and didn't dare to let people see the tears flowing down.

Zhao Han said again: "How many taels of silver is this maid worth?" Hurry up and ask your master to send her deed. ”

The house slave was stunned and explained: "Zhao Xianggong, this is my master, specially sent to serve tea and pour water for Xianggong......"

"Won't sell? Won't send it? is stingy, and he is really a rich man! Zhao Han said angrily, "Quickly bring people back, my son is not used to other people's things." ”

The house slave didn't know how to deal with it, so he could only say: "Zhao Xianggong is angry, I'll go home and ask the master." ”

The house slave ran wildly and quickly returned to the Huang family's ancestral home.

Huang Zunde was also a little dumbfounded, he had never seen such a domineering one, and thought about it: "Go back and tell that Xiucai, just say that the maid will give it to him, and when the warehouse is repaired, he will send the deed over." ”

"It's still a master." The house slaves began to run errands again.

When I arrived at the inn, I talked about it.

Zhao Han sneered: "Countrymen are just stingy, maids, they say they will send it, and they have to wait for the matter to be done?" Reward him with a penny, get out of here! ”

Chen Maosheng took out a string of copper coins and stuffed them into the hands of the house slaves.

The house slave got a reward of several hundred Wen, and he was overjoyed, and he began to feel that Master Huang was stingy.

How generous Zhao Xianggong is, he deserves to be a rich man from the city. Zhao Xianggong has never seen any beauty, and he will covet a country maid? His own master is really embarrassed, and even he, a house slave, feels shameless.

The house slave hurriedly compensated for Master Huang: "Zhao Xianggong, you have a lot of adults, don't be like us countrymen." ”

"Well, I like to hear this, and I will reward him with a penny." Zhao Han said with a smile.

Chen Maosheng stuffed a string of copper coins again.

The house slave immediately knelt down and kowtowed: "Zhao Xianggong is really doing a big thing, the slave and maid have kowtowed to you, I wish you a prosperous business and a fortune this year." ”

Do you like to hear good things?

Then I'll say a little more.

Reward me, reward me!

"Get out!" Zhao Han didn't reward again, just laughed and drove people away.

The house slave kowtowed again: "Zhao Xianggong has any orders, just say hello in the future." ”

I want to continue to ask for money.

Compared with Zhao Han, Master Huang is simply slamming the door to the extreme.

Zhao Han took the maid back to the guest room and said with a smile: "Sit down by yourself." ”

"Slaves don't dare." Xiao Cui's face was afraid.

Zhao Han smiled and comforted: "Don't be afraid, what I said before was for others to see." I cherish women the most, and there are many maids in the family, and none of them have been treated badly. ”

For Zhao Han's handsome sake, Xiao Cui was skeptical.

Zhao Han asked, "What's your name?" ”

Xiao Cui replied, "Xiao Cui." ”

"I asked your real name." Zhao Han said.

Xiaocui said: "Huang Sanmei." ”

Zhao Han continued to inquire: "Since your surname is Huang, you are from the same clan as Master Huang?" ”

Xiaocui replied: "The slave maid doesn't know that most of the people in the village are surnamed Huang. ”

"How old are you?" Zhao Han asked.

"Seventeen." Xiaocui said.

"Then you are older than me," Zhao Han saw that she was still very restrained, so he pulled her to sit down and comforted her softly, "Sister, don't be afraid, sit down and talk first." ”

Hearing Zhao Han call her sister, Xiaocui was scared at the same time, but also felt quite useful.

Looking horizontally and vertically, Zhao Han doesn't seem to be a fake, and he is such a handsome and talented man.

Suddenly, Xiao Cuifang's heart beat wildly, fantasizing that after the matter was completed, Master Huang would send the deed of life, and he would be able to go to the city with this little minister.

Zhao Han continued to chat about family life, which was the easiest way to close the distance: "How many people are in my sister's family?" ”

Xiaocui replied honestly: "The eldest sister is married, the second sister is sick and died, and there are two younger brothers below." My father and mother are farming for Master Huang, and I couldn't pay the rent a few years ago, so the slave and maid were repaid and became a maid, and the eldest brother also repaid the debt and became a small servant. ”

"It's really pitiful, sister, don't be sad, the days will be better in the future." Zhao Han said softly.

Hearing these ordinary words, Xiaocui suddenly wanted to cry for no reason.

She went to the Huang family to be a maid at the age of twelve, and for several years, she was beaten and scolded, and if she did something wrong, she would be beaten, how could anyone comfort him like this?

What's more, the person who spoke was still a noble son, and he was a talented man from the city.

Xiaocui thought to herself: If you can serve Zhao Xianggong in the future and listen to him say a few more thoughtful words, she will be beaten to death by the master's mother, and this life will be worth it.

Zhao Han helped Xiaocui wipe her tears: "Sister, don't cry." ”

"Don't cry, don't cry," Xiao Cui hurriedly crossed her sleeves, wiped away her tears, squeezed out a smile and choked up, "Zhao Xianggong, you are such a good person, which young lady can marry Xianggong, she must have served Guanyin Bodhisattva in her last life." ”

When Xiao Cui wiped her tears, she revealed a wrist scar, which seemed to have been pulled out by a bamboo strip.

"Master Huang still beats you?" Zhao Han asked.

Xiaocui replied: "If someone does something wrong, he should be beaten, don't blame the master." ”

Zhao Han looked serious and said solemnly: "The next person is also a human being, how can you fight casually?" Master Huang is so hateful! ”

Xiao Cui hurriedly said: "It's a slave who is not good, she broke the master's cup, and she deserved to be beaten." ”

"You can't think like that," Zhao Han began to popularize the theory of personality, "There was a university scholar in the Song Dynasty named Zhu Xi, and everyone who read called him Zhu Zi. Tongsheng, Xiucai, Juren, Jinshi, but all those who read are reading the sage books annotated by Zhu Zi. Do you know what Zhu Zi said? He said that all men are created equal. As an emperor, as a general, as a master, and as a subordinate, everyone is born the same, and no one is inferior to the other. ”

Xiao Cui said blankly: "Master Zhu really said that? ”

"That's what Zhu Zi said," Zhao Han said bitterly, "but those who have read the book have tampered with Zhu Zi's words indiscriminately." As a master, he knows that it is wrong, and he still bullies his subordinates, do you say it is very bad? ”

Xiao Cui nodded subconsciously, and then shook her head again: "When the master beats people, it's always wrong to beat people." ”

Zhao Han couldn't help but hold his forehead, what kind of place is this, brainwashing the slave is so serious, it is much more normal on the side of Lead Mountain.

Zhao Han could only say: "This kind of truth, I'll explain it to you slowly." Let's go to the next room, and I'll teach you how to read and write. ”

Xiaocui was pleasantly surprised, but said: "The slave is very stupid, I'm afraid I can't learn." ”

"Don't be afraid, there is someone next door who is even more stupid than you," Zhao Han smiled, "Also, don't call yourself a slave in the future, just say 'I'." ”

Pushing open the door next door, Zhao Han shouted, "Tie Niu, it's time to study." ”

Zhang Tieniu was sleeping on the money box, and when he heard this in a daze, he suddenly jumped up in fright: "I...... I'm in a hurry to pee, I'm going to! ”

"Go back, sit down!" Zhao Han scolded.

Zhang Tieniu's face was full of grievances, and he glanced at Xiao Cui: "This little lady has also joined the gang?" ”

Zhao Han smiled: "Sooner or later." ”

Zhang Tieniu couldn't help but want to roll his eyes, and said in his heart: A master, a drama, and a coolie. Now it's good, even the maidservants have come to rebel, and if they say it, they are afraid that they will make people laugh to death.

The rebel team is about to grow to five people.
