Chapter 5 Master Zhao sent an invitation
Looking at the two figures dangling at the door, Liang Qu frowned.
Who are these two Pennsylvania? I didn't sleep in the middle of the night, and hung in front of my house.
At the door, a middle-aged man and a lean little guy stood back and forth, and the person who had just asked was the middle-aged man with white skin, who was clean and tidy, and he didn't look like a flat-headed person.
Looking at the middle-aged man who was obviously a little bit of a background, Liang Qu quickly searched in his mind.
Zheng Xiang on the other side saw that Liang Qu didn't speak, and thought that the other party was still entangled, he waved his hand, and the little guy on the side immediately raised a sack and opened the mouth of the bag.
Zheng Xiang rolled up his sleeves and reached into it, and by the moonlight, Liang Qu saw that the man actually grabbed a large handful of white polished rice!
Liang Qu swallowed his saliva, and the stomach pain when he first came really left him a little psychological shadow.
Zheng Xiang slowly poured the rice in his hand into the cloth bag: "What, as long as you recognize our Master Zhao as your father-in-law, this bucket of polished rice is yours, and the food you will eat in the future will be so good, rice!" ”
Father-in-law!?
Hearing this word, Liang Qu's brain seemed to have turned on a certain switch, but it was not the switch of "If the public does not give up, I am willing to worship my father", but the cause and effect of the whole thing.
The middle-aged man in front of him was Zheng Xiang, one of the housekeepers in the mansion of Old Man Zhao in the town next door!
The purpose of the other party coming here is very simple, buy a minion!
It's all at the door, and it is self-evident who the bought minion is.
As for why buying slaves should be said to be a recognition of the righteous father, just because the founding emperor of Dashun stipulated that ordinary people were forbidden to raise private slaves, so many old fortunes were adopted in the form of adopting daughters and godsons, as long as there was a notary public to prove it, and it was similar to that of later generations.
It stands to reason that the original life is so difficult, and selling one's body is not a way to live, which is both a housekeeper and refined food, which really gives enough face.
But the crux of the problem is here, who is so interested in recruiting slaves?
That Master Zhao, it is rumored that he is a good man!
When Liang Qu first came, he found that the young man he passed through not only had the same name, but also looked similar, which could be called himself in parallel time and space, even if he followed his father out to fish all the year round, his skin was darker and rougher, but his facial features were excellent, his appearance was thoughtful, and he was definitely not bad.
The combination of the two, the so-called "rumors", is mostly true.
Thinking of this, Liang Qu shuddered, and was disgusted.
"How's it going?" Zheng Xiang asked again.
The last time he came to the door, he had to consider it when he was shirked, but now, he is completely sure that the other party will not accept his conditions, and he is afraid that he will starve to death at home in the next few days!
Zheng Xiang even called the people from Yaxing to come over, and he also made a guarantee, lest Liang Qu had just sold himself, and he would turn around and go to the government to sue the official, saying that the Zhao family forced Liang to be a slave.
It's not that the Zhao family is afraid of being accused, who likes to cause trouble? It takes a few sheets of paper to wipe your butt.
The little guy on the side also helped: "Yes, yes, Xiao Langjun, being able to go to Zhao Mansion is a blessing that we ordinary people can't cultivate in a few lifetimes, and we can afford to come and go in the wind and rain like now, and we can't eat a few rations a year?" ”
'Your grandmother drops, who loves this blessing and enjoys it, and is not afraid of and wiping it clean. ’
Liang Qu scolded secretly, and quietly refused on his face, the Zhao family has a big business, and it is really not something he can offend now: "I'm really sorry, Steward Zheng, my little life is thin, and I can't enjoy that monstrous blessing, so you can't come for nothing, so it's better to bring this yellow croaker back as my apology." ”
The little guy was dumbfounded.
Zheng Xiang's face changed, he didn't expect Liang Qu to refuse, he leaned forward sharply, forcing Liang Qu to take two steps back, but the distance was still a lot closer, and he suddenly noticed the abnormality.
Why is this Liang Qu so good? It doesn't look like you've been hungry for days! And where did this yellow croaker come from, he caught it?
Zheng Xiang was thinking about it, and he didn't understand why a helpless teenager would come to work in just a few days?
Liang Qu was startled, and just when he wanted to say something to save his life, Zheng Xiang calmed down first: "It's okay, it's a deal that you and I are willing to make, and there is no need to apologize, it's not easy to catch yellow croaker, Xiao Langjun just keep it, it's getting late, I won't stay more, say goodbye!" ”
While speaking, Zheng Xiang had already left with the little guy in the tooth shop, leaving only Liang Qu with a yellow croaker at the door.
Did you offend him or not?
Liang Qu's face was cloudy, and it was his freedom to agree or not according to what he said, but it was a mistake for the weak to reject the strong.
The most important thing is that the whole thing is full of inconsistencies and suspicions.
The Zhao family is a big family in Pingyang Town next door, why did they know so quickly that there was an orphan in Yixing City who couldn't get along?
Leper Zhang, is the Zhao family ......
"It seems that you have to become a martial artist as soon as possible, and if you become a martial artist, the Zhao family will be helpless against me."
With his heart in mind, Liang Qu fell into a deep sleep.
Early the next morning, under the surprised eyes of the fishermen, Liang Qu carried the yellow croaker and sold it to the most luxurious restaurant in Yixing City, and got 80 copper coins.
It is far from the time to pay fishing tax and other miscellaneous taxes, and I and my ancestors have never rented anything from the fishing pen, so they don't have to be exploited to repay their debts.
If it is in some poor ravines, it will be miserable, and the fishing tyrants and fishing pens will go into battle, and you will be stripped clean, and you will always be on the verge of civil revolt, and only one person who shouts slogans is missing.
After getting the money, Liang Qu found a cheap foot shop, asking for two catties of meat, a bowl of rice, and a plate of seasonal vegetables, and feasted.
It's just that Yixing City is really small, and after a while, he caught a yellow croaker, and the news of selling eighty wen flew all over the sky, and people came to ask about the fishing location everywhere, thinking that he would try his luck by himself, and he was annoyed.
"You kid, where did you catch the yellow croaker, quickly leak some wind." A young man who was two or three years older than Liang Qu grabbed Liang Qu's shoulder, but his hand was not honest while speaking, and he wanted to grab the fat on the plate, but he was pulled back by a chopstick.
"Hey, you kid, you're too ruthless." The young man bared his teeth and shook his hands.
Liang Qu was unmoved, there are so many peers in the town, they basically know each other, Li Libo is such a person, but if you want to say that he is not ripe, at least when he borrowed grain, his family did not borrow.
If you want to say that there is no resentment, the agricultural social productive forces are so much, everyone is selling their strength to eat, no one is having a good time, it is normal not to borrow, but it is those relatives who have not borrowed it, and they are not disrespectful, and they are indeed not angry.
"It's all said, it's on the reed swing side of Shangrao Port three miles to the right."
"I don't believe it, you kid definitely didn't tell the truth, and so did me, if there is really a place to catch yellow croaker, I won't tell others, and I will make a fortune with a muffled voice."
Li Libo saw that there was no meat to eat, so he could only pour himself a pot of tea and drink it himself, he was an idle person, and when he heard that Liang Qu caught a yellow croaker, he came over to fight the autumn breeze.
However, it is Li Libo's personality that makes him very well-informed about some gossip, Liang Qu thought about the recent events, and had an idea: "Ask you something, and if you answer well, you will have meat to eat." ”
Li Libo's eyes lit up: "There is also this good thing, ask quickly." ”
"How much do you know about the martial arts hall in Pingyang Town?"
Li Libo looked Liang Qu up and down, and smiled: "It's true, who doesn't have a martial artist dream, but if you ask me, you'll be asking the right person." ”
"Elaborate."
"There are three martial arts halls in Pingyang Town, and the most powerful of them is Master Yang, just because the other two hall owners are all from Ye Luzi, and Master Yang has retired from the army! And I, Li Libo, am about to go to apprentice to Master Yang! ”
Li Libo said that he was answering, but it was better to brag.
"You?" Liang Qu deliberately questioned.
Li Libo was really anxious, and suddenly spat out everything, which made Liang Qu suddenly realize that he had a little understanding of the transcendent system of this world.
It's very simple, polish the foundation, then the medicinal bath, then polish, then the medicinal bath, and finally rush the level.
Skin, flesh, bones, blood, four small levels, all passed to be called a martial artist, before that they could only be a martial artist, it is said that there is a realm in the future, but not ordinary people can know.
The enrollment of the martial arts hall is not difficult, you don't need to look at any bones, just see if you have money!
That Master Yang's martial arts hall is seven taels of silver without room and board, ten taels of accommodation and food, and twenty taels of accommodation and medicinal baths, which is slightly more expensive than the other two, but it is also in line with a more powerful positioning.
It's only seven taels of silver, but it's not difficult, Liang Qu thoughtfully: "Then aren't you ......?"
"Shhh, don't talk about it, in two months, my family will send me to the martial arts hall." Li Libo was proud, "When I go, I will definitely be stronger than that leper Zhang Qiang, and I have practiced the style, and I will not be beaten by others." ”
