Chapter 21: Servant Zhong Xiaozhong

Early in the morning, we returned to Qingyang City.

Zhong Yan found that he had gone to Yangquanfang City so many times, except for taking the initiative to induce Chen Lianping to follow him, he had not encountered an accident.

In addition to being cautious enough, luck has also improved a lot.

When I was in the Huoyun Sect, I went down the mountain to experience and encountered mountain bandits and monks from time to time to intercept and kill, or escaped with a hard fight, or carefully avoided it.

"It seems that the panel is loaded, and the luck has improved."

Separated from Daoyou, Zhong Yan went to North Street in the North District, preparing to buy a small servant to cultivate first.

Monks have always been cautious, they have their own secrets, and the fewer people around them, the better.

Like Li Henian, although there are many people in the house, most of the people are powerless little maids, and there are only two real henchmen, a housekeeper and a small housekeeper, and the rest of the caretakers are from the martial arts hall that they operate, and they can only operate in the gate and the outer courtyard, and cannot enter the backyard.

Still at the entrance of the alley, Zhong Yan saw the concubine room at a glance, and was looking at the sloppy old man who sold his daughter cheaply, and his expression showed a lot of sympathy.

"Knives."

Yan Sandao, who was dressed in a palace skirt, turned his head to look at it, and quickly stepped forward to greet him, "Husband! You're back! ”

Zhong Yan bowed his head and took a step to scan the slaves one by one.

"The concubine came a few times, but I didn't find a suitable one, yesterday I heard the sister-in-law of the Li Mansion say that the 'Ten Thousand Hall' released another group of people, and I came to see it early this morning."

On both sides of the street, there were rows of ragged people, mostly women and children.

Some of them were dressed in cages and came from the city's 'Ten Thousand Halls' that specialized in the slave trade, and had undergone special training like the 'Marriage Pavilion'.

Some are poor and unable to survive at home, so they sell themselves, stick straw in their heads, and kneel on the ground.

After choosing, Zhong Yan spent twenty taels to choose a pair of literate sisters, whose clothes were thin and shivering from the cold, and their hands and feet without shoes were covered with chilblains.

"Thank you, sir, thank you!" The two of them were very grateful, and cried with joy, finally no longer having to be trapped in the cold and starving.

Then.

Not far from the side, a scrawny young man hurriedly ran to kneel down, "Please buy me!" I have the strength to do anything! Please! ”

Kowtowing is like pounding garlic, banging.

Zhong Yan looked indifferent, glanced at his original location, and stood a wooden sign - sell yourself to bury your father, thirty taels.

In the market here, although children are more expensive, they are also sold at a low price of less than ten taels.

Zhong Yan asked, "What skills do you have to ask for thirty taels?" ”

The boy only kept kowtowing and repeating, 'I have the strength to do anything'.

Zhong Yan turned around and left.

But the young man hugged his leg and prayed.

"Son of a bitch, you're fucking looking for death, aren't you?" As a result, he was naturally kicked away by the big man who maintained order, and the big stick fell like raindrops, and his head was bleeding.

Zhong Yan waited for a while before he said aloud: "Forget it." ”

The big man immediately stopped his hand and stepped forward with a flattering smile, "The noble man is angry, this son of a dog doesn't understand the rules." ”

Zhong Yan looked at the young man, "Why do you want thirty taels?" ”

The big man kicked him again, "What about you!" ”

The young man got up, trembled and said, "Home, my father was seriously ill before his death, and he borrowed twenty-three taels from his neighbors and wanted to pay it back." ”

Dahan added: "That's right, this kid is from Hubei Village, his father died of illness a few days ago, and now he is the only one in the family, he is honest, can endure hardships and work, and was dragged down by his father's illness." ”

"After dealing with the aftermath, go to the Zhongfu of Wutong Lane in the Southern District to find me."

Zhong Yan shook his hand and threw down a bag of thirty taels of silver and left.

"Thank you, Master! Mr. Xie......"

The young man kowtowed violently, and it was not until Zhong Yan and the others disappeared that he picked up the money bag, took out three taels of silver and gave it to the big man, and thanked him again.

The big man glanced at the young man, "Okay, you kid is also a shit luck, the people who live in the southern district are all big fairy families, you go to be honest, be a man, work hard, maybe you can marry a wife and have children in the future, and leave incense for your Liang family......"

The other side.

The four of them left North Street, and Yan Sandao asked aloud: "Husband, why did you leave him?" ”

Although I don't know the details, my husband once explained that the first requirement for buying maids and servants is to come from the 'Ten Thousand Hall', and not to buy people who sell cheaply.

Zhong Yan explained: "The Ten Thousand Halls are deeply rooted in Qingyang City, and the buying and selling of people to form an industrial chain is not as strict as the 'Marriage Pavilion', but it has its own set of fixed patterns, and many slaves have undergone special training, and their net worth is innocent, and there will be no follow-up troubles." ”

The implication is that the slaves bought from the Ten Thousand Halls will be completely cut off from the past.

And those who sell it privately and cheaply, it is difficult to guarantee that they will have contact with the family and give birth to some unnecessary troubles, such as the father and daughter she saw before.

Yan Sandao looked down at the two deeds of sale in his hand and understood.

"Although the boy has not been trained, he can spend some energy on training, and the husband mainly values his filial piety and gratitude."

Speaking of this, Zhong Yan couldn't help but think of his teenage past.

At the beginning, he crossed from Mount Tai to this Xianwu Continent, and his soul was attached to the body of a young beggar who was only eight years old.

It's completely different from the cool text routine written in the novel in the previous life.

It was a hell of a start.

Without the memory of this world, the language barrier, the writing is illiterate, the body is thin and has no ability to survive.

Only with the twenty-one-year-old soul in his previous life, he didn't know how much hardship he had endured to survive, and finally encountered an opportunity to be brought into the sect by a beautiful peak master of the Huoyun Sect.

I thought that I had opened the official copy and was going to change my life against the sky and soar to the sky, but it turned out that I was struggling and mediocre for more than 20 years.

"Hey...... No matter where you are, you still have to rely on yourself after all. ”

"Even if there is a plug-in now."

Zhong Yan sighed with emotion in his heart, although he was full of hope for the future, he still had a little hesitation in his heart, and there were many things he didn't want to do but had to do them.

Back to Fuchu.

Zhong Yan gave Yan Sandao the "Infinite Sacred Heart Formula", which caused her to exclaim repeatedly, and her heart was moved.

As a martial artist, Yan Sandao had heard more legends about the martial saint and knew that he had indeed practiced the "Infinite Sacred Heart Technique".

She originally thought that her husband was just talking, after all, it has been a long time, and it is not difficult for monks to buy martial arts, and there are quite a few in the market, but she didn't expect to really find it, and it is still such a profound and famous exercise.

The result is naturally a hard service, giving Zhong Yan experience points.

……

Next.

After lunch, Zhong Yan accompanied his wife and concubine to talk in the courtyard.

Xiaohuan led the boy over.

"Master, madam, second lady, this person is sneaking around outside the house, saying that he is looking for the master."

The young man was dressed in a white-washed coarse cloth shirt, but he looked clean and neat, obviously after careful preparation before coming, he bowed his head and bowed, "Zhong Tieniu greets the master, the two ladies!" ”

"Your surname is Zhong?"

"The villain's surname is Liang, and his surname will be Zhong in the future!"

"Raise your head and speak."

The young man who had been lying on the ground raised his head and looked at Zhong Yan without squinting, his slightly trembling shoulders and a hint of panic in his eyes showed that he was not as calm as he appeared.

Zhong Yan raised his eyebrows slightly, "Someone taught you to speak like this?" ”

The young man bowed his head slightly and said, "It's Brother Li...... It was Brother Li Mingqiang, who spoke for me that day, and he reminded the villain and taught the villain what things to pay attention to. ”

Zhong Yan bowed his head, remembering his grace and not remembering, "How old is this year?" ”

"Back to the master, the villain is fourteen years old, almost fifteen."

"Literate?"

"Back to the master, I can write my name and know a few simple words."

Zhong Yan said: "Since you want to be surnamed Zhong, I will give you a chance and give you the name of Zhong Xiaozhong." ”

The young man bowed to the ground again, "Pledge allegiance to the master!" I am willing to saddle the horse for the lord and live up to the high expectations of the lord! ”

Zhong Yan looked at Xiaohuan, "Take him down to settle down, and talk about the rules of the house." ”

"Yes, sir!"

Zhong Xiaozhong kowtowed on the ground three more times before following Xiaohuan away.

When I got to the corner of the corridor, I only heard Xiaohuan whispering: "The name that the master gave you should be filial piety, loyal loyalty, not the loyal ...... who serves."

Zhong Yan smiled dumbly: "Xiaohuan is really smart!" ”

Jiang and Yan blinked, not knowing why, but they also echoed and praised Xiaohuan.

Zhong Yandao: "Dao'er, you find a few beginner books to show him, and then pass on your exercises to him, do chores in the house in the morning during the day, go to the restaurant to help in the afternoon, and learn martial arts in the evening." ”

"Yes, husband."
