Chapter Seventy-Seven: Meat-Grabbing
"It seems that the ten sticks that hit Shen Yan before are really not heavy."
Sitting on the horse, Zhao Surui's tone was cooler than the wind blowing in the wilderness.
Behind her, Pei Feng and Tong Wu didn't dare to make a sound when they came back from Yanjing with him.
"Girl! You're back!" Someone had already reported the news, and Ah Chi hurriedly greeted him with someone.
Glancing at Ah Chi, Zhao Surui continued to look not far away.
Shao Zhiqing was riding on one horse and was teaching Shen Yan how to get on the horse directly, Shen Yan was sitting on another horse, with a new cushion under his buttocks, and the two of them and a group of villagers and servants who were watching the excitement around him did not notice that he Zhao Surui was looking at them.
"Girl, have fun in Yanjing?"
"Happy?"
The corners of Zhao Surui's lips hooked, and he didn't smile: "It's really happy."
Raising his hand, the horsewhip rolled in his palm, he pointed to Shao Zhiqing's place from afar: "I'm not here, who told them to move the horse?"
Ah Chi glanced at it and said with a smile, "The little boy was bored in the Zhuangzi, and Master Shao said that he was too weak, so he simply taught him to ride a horse......
Sensing that his girl's expression was wrong, the smile on Ah Chi's face gradually faded.
"Girl? But what happened?"
Zhao Surui glanced at the sky: "This should be the time for practice, right?"
Ah Chi smiled: "Yesterday, the little boy came out and saw the farmers practicing, saying that the farmers were working hard, so let them idle for two days, and Master Shao also responded."
"He answered?"
Zhao Surui looked around and saw two people practicing with wooden sticks on the school field outside Zhuangzi.
"Peifeng, do you know the two of you?"
Pei Feng immediately stepped forward and said, "Girl, those two are Tong Jiu and Zhang Tongqian, Tong Jiu is Tong Wu's younger brother, and Zhang Tongqian is the family member in Zhuangzi."
"Those two people, from today onwards, will get a first-class commission, just like Tong Wu and them, they will get an extra half a penny every month in the future."
Before he could finish speaking, someone behind him knelt on the ground "poof": "Shen Niangzi! I, I'll kowtow to Shen Niangzi for my brother!"
The one who spoke was Tong Jiu's brother Tong Wu, he was one of the good players that Zhao Surui brought to Yanjing City, because he had won the championship in the competition for more than ten days before, Pei Feng was usually very satisfied with his ability, this time Zhao Surui took him out and found that he was also smart and obedient and could contribute, and he also valued him very much.
"You brothers, one shrewd and the other honest, are faithful, and since you are faithful has the benefit of being faithful."
After speaking, Zhao Surui casually picked up a newly bought gold wrench from his hand and threw it on the ground:
"Don't you still have a seven or eight-year-old daughter? I'll reward her for this, and I'll bring her in tomorrow for me to see, and a few maids around me can learn some skills."
Tong Wu is a smart person, otherwise he would not have grabbed "Shen Niangzi" and went to Yanjing City to ask for real estate, and when he heard that "Shen Niangzi" was promising his daughter a future, he lay on the ground and picked up the wrench and hid it in his arms:
"Thank you, Mrs. Shen! Shen Niangzi, don't worry! Our old boy's family is really heartfelt, and we all recognize Shen Niangzi in the future, and we don't listen to a word from others! It's definitely not the black heart who used the benefits of Shen Niangzi to make face for others!" ….
Black-hearted?
Zhao Surui raised his chin: "Ah Chi, the maids in the Zhuangzi are also resting today?"
Ah Chi is not stupid, and at this time he also sensed the taste, his shoulders stretched into a line, and he replied carefully: "Xiao ...... The son of the Shen family also said that the maids should rest, but Tu Nan said that the maids can eat meat for a day if they practice, and if they don't practice, there will be no meat to eat, so no one stops to rest, and they are still practicing in the Zhuangzi at this time."
"Then go straight back to Zhuangzi."
Lifting the reins and turning the horse's head, Zhao Surui galloped straight to the gate of Zhuangzi, and led the people and horses and carts to raise dust and smoke all the way.
Shen Yan, who was surrounded by everyone, turned his head and saw this scene, a little happy and a little scared:
"Big sister is back, Master Shao
Let's go back as well."
Shao Zhiqing glanced up and said with a smile: "Little boy, don't worry, Shen Niangzi is the most benevolent, and she was only fierce to you before, but she hated iron and steel, and I was afraid that you would learn bad when you were at the right age."
"I know." Shen Yan smiled and said, "I have to study literature and martial arts hard in the future, and be the support of the big sister, but I can't do foolish things anymore."
The door of Zhuangzi opened, Zhao Surui rode directly into the second gate, and sure enough, he saw Tu Nan with a group of maids and women in Zhuangzi practicing, he raised his eyebrows, but the fire in his heart did not dissipate.
"Tu Nan, what are these maids eating at noon today?"
"Girl, they practiced for an hour today, and at noon they ate three taels of pork for one person and another dish of braised cabbage."
Zhao Surui turned over and dismounted, carefully looking at these maids who were striding with guns.
When the Shoucheng Marquis Mansion called him before, he really thought about training these maids to become female soldiers, but after thinking about it, he still preferred to watch the men outside beat them compared to the fists and embroidered legs of these maids, but at this time, he was slapped in the face.
He likes men, and coincidentally, men like men too.
He is the only one who is a woman now!
"How much meat does the man out there eat in a day?"
"If you go back to the girls, they practice for two hours a day, and give each of them half a pound of pork or five taels of mutton. *」
Zhao Surui sneered:
"In this case, there is no practice outside today, and there is no need to give meat, Tu Nan, the meat of those people outside is divided among these girls and the people I brought back, except for Tong Jiu and Zhang Tongqian, in the future, those men outside will practice for an hour to give four taels of meat, and these maids are the same, if you are willing to practice for two hours a day, each person will also be half a catty of pork or five taels of mutton per day."
Tu Nan, who was wearing an ordinary short jacket and carrying a sword at his waist, nodded in response.
Zhao Surui still felt angry in his heart.
"Now divide the meat immediately, and take a big bowl to each person, and take it to the school yard outside to eat."
The maids still had a happy look on their faces, but they were a little confused and frightened, but they heard the "young lady" shout:
"Don't go yet!"
"Yes!"
Ah Chi was frightened by the anger of her own girl, she approached cautiously, and said slowly:
"Girl, if something doesn't go your way, just tell us, but don't get angry." ….
Zhao Surui turned his head to look at her, his eyebrows raised slightly, and a smile appeared on his face:
"Say? Say what? Let me ask you, how did Shen Yan get out of the side courtyard? How did you get on board with Shao Zhiqing? How many days have they been hitching? Do you know what was said and done? I'll leave the inner courtyard to you, and that's how you manage it?!
"Do you have to know that Shao Zhiqing still has a daughter in Ning Anbo's Mansion, I have always only let him teach people to practice martial arts and not give him a title because he is not one of our people, if he has a different heart and instigates Shen Yan to return to Yanjing, and takes the opportunity to kidnap Shen Yan and bring him back to Ning Anbo's Mansion to let me hand over Xie Feng'an, how will you tell me to deal with it? Well?
"I handed over this Zhuangzi to you, and that's how you manage it? What Shen Yan said, Shao Zhiqing dared to take it, didn't dare to refute it? Then why did Tunan dare to refute his words? In your heart, is it true that anyone surnamed Shen is your master? Since you like to be a slave and maid so much, you don't have to serve by my side, surnamed Shen, there are two of them locked up in the Beizhen Fusi prison in Yanjing City, isn't it just right for me to send you to serve them?"
A few words of heart-wrenching words smashed down firmly, Ah Chi was already stunned, she quickly knelt down, but only saw the back of her own girl throwing her sleeves and getting on the horse.
Pei Feng glanced at her and shook his head lightly at her, obviously disapproving of her taking Shen Yan so seriously.
Zhao Surui was still wearing a man's drag, and the outside was still the big piece of the silver rat, and when he rode out of the courtyard on a jujube red horse, he heard a noisy shout.
"Let us rest today is the meaning of the little boy, why don't you give us meat?"
"That's it! We practice a lot every day, how can we be plain
Someone detained?"
"Little boy! These maids actually have meat to eat, but we don't, little boy, you have to call the shots for us!"
Shen Yan stood on the school field and was surrounded by people who couldn't walk, and he couldn't figure out what was going on? He looked at Shao Zhiqing for help, but saw that Shao Zhiqing was also at a loss.
"You let him call the shots for you? It's really the wrong bodhisattva to ask the wrong Buddha."
"Da, da."
The horse's hooves were trampling on the road next to the school grounds, and Zhao Surui, who was dressed in splendor, looked at those men condescendingly.
"Since it was your little son who agreed, he asked for meat from your little son, I told you a long time ago that if you eat my meat, you will listen to me, and if you take my money, you will give me your life, since you have forgotten, I naturally want you to remember."
A group of men looked up at "Shen Niangzi" and opened their mouths, but they didn't know what to say.
Pei Feng had already taken Tong Wu and the others to protect his girl tightly, and Tu Nan, who was dividing the flesh on the side, also held one hand on the hilt of the sword and never let go.
Looking around, Zhao Surui had a smile on his face, only a pair of eyes were full of cold frost, facing more than 100 pairs of eyes, he didn't have the slightest fear in his heart:
"Shao Zhiqing."
Shao Zhiqing hurriedly stepped forward: "Shen Niangzi, the little boy is just not deeply involved in the world......
The woman in men's clothes in his eyes smiled and asked, "Who do you call the little boy?"
The tall man suddenly closed his mouth.
"Sister, it's good that you blame me for this, but I broke the rules." Shen Yan was still cowardly in his heart, "I won't be next time!" ….
"There's nothing wrong with you." Looking down at him, Zhao Surui smiled and said, "You just came to your cousin's Zhuangzi as a guest, and I invited you here, how could there be anything wrong?"
Hearing such reassuring words, Shen Yan should have felt relieved in his heart, but the more his eldest sister was like this, Shen Yan's heart couldn't fall down.
At this time, Zhao Surui had already sat up straight again:
"I have not been on the village for two days, but you people have only neglected to accompany my guests and have slackened their practice, thinking that you are a first offender, I have only deducted your flesh for these two days, and if there is a next time, all those who slack off will each have ten rods, and they will not be used again if they are driven out."
As soon as they heard that they would be kicked out, the men who were angry about a few pieces of meat gradually calmed down again.
At this time, the eyes they looked at Shao Zhiqing had become resentful.
"Shen Niangzi, we didn't want to slack off, but it was Master Shao who made us stop practicing."
"Yes! It's all what Master Shao said, we want to practice the most, we can temper our bodies and eat meat, and others can't ask for such good things!"
"Lady Shen, don't blame us, we will definitely practice well in the future."
Shao Zhiqing couldn't understand how he could become the target of public criticism, he frowned, and said in a loud voice:
"Shen Niangzi! A certain person has no intention of offending you, if such a person has such a mind, he can just beat a certain corpse to the flesh! There is no other word!"
Zhao Surui only looked at him with a pair of eyes.
As a monarch, anyone who dares to shake his power is already a private person in his eyes.
Shen Sanwu wants to kill him, this Shao Zhiqing, he also wants to kill.
Shen Sangu usurped the imperial power, he can't move, can't he kill this Shao Zhiqing?
At this time, Shen Yan suddenly said, "Big sister, don't blame Master Shao, he is also kind, he thinks that I am weak and can't rely on you, so he taught me to practice horseback riding, if you want to blame me, blame me!"
Rely on?
Zhao Surui turned his head to look at Shen Yan again.
The hairy child of a powerless man, he was already trying to eradicate Zhang Play when he was so old, what about this product? A waste who only knows how to read.
is such a waste, and he can be his reliance?
Why?
His gaze slowly moved down to Shen Yan's waist, and Zhao Surui snorted coldly.
"Shen Yan, you think
More, I was bullied by people in the Xie family every day, and when I was forced to this Zhuangzi, I didn't even think about who to rely on, but now I have money in my bag, soldiers in my hands, and Zhuangzi under my feet, and I have taken back my family's old house. Why are you?"
The whip in his hand pointed at the middle of Shen Yan's body, and he sneered:
"Is it because you have two or three more pieces of meat on your waist than I do?"
His eyes wandered, and he looked at the others, one by one:
"What about you? Whose trust are you?"
The men were silent, only Tu Nan on one side was still leading people to divide meat, and Pei Feng on the other side was holding a spear and looking at them.
"Naturally, it's Shen Niangzi!"
"We only recognize Mrs. Shen!"
"Lady Shen is here, so we have meat to eat and warm clothes to wear! We have long recognized Shen Niangzi as our master!"
"That's right! Mrs. Shen is our reliance!"
In the gossip of admiration, Zhao Surui's gaze moved back to Shao Zhiqing.
The four eyes met, and Shao Zhiqing finally knew what he was wrong.
He knelt on the ground with a "plop" sound: "Shen Niangzi! A certain person was lazy, taking advantage of the absence of Shen Niangzi and Peifeng Girl, and borrowed the name of Shen Gongzi to slack off and practice, which is really an unforgivable crime! A self-pleading reprimand!"
"Since you said so, it's my fault that I didn't punish you."
Zhao Surui raised his chin.
"Pei Feng, if there is one person who is slacking off in practice today, he will give Shao Zhiqing a cane punishment ......until the beating is over."
After a slight pause, his voice was two points lower than just now:
"Kill or die."
There was silence on the school grounds.
