Lord of the House

Vol 3 Chapter 24: Martyrdom's servant

The wine in the jug was even more leaked. Zhang Yubo called the shopkeeper Song Wusao to pay the bill. Song Wusao said, "The total is 300 coins, and it's thanks to the five gangs that Mr. Zhang has settled..."

"Why do I want him to settle the bill? I don't have this friendship with him, so return the money to him." Zhang Yubo asked the accompanying servant to count three hundred money from the **** to pay Song Wusao for the wine, and Lin Fu and Lin Mengde took their arms out of the wine. In the pavilion, Chen Laiwu and some of his subordinates were still guarding in the courtyard. He probably heard Zhang Yubo's words in the wine pavilion, his face was sullen, he stood there and wanted to come over to say hello, but he was afraid that he would be boring.

The servants set up the carriage in the yard. In the quiet night, the sound of the horse snoring was extraordinarily loud. Lin Fu, Zhang Yubo, and Lin Mengde got into the carriage separately. The shop clerk helped to open the door, only to see Qian Xiao. Wu squatted outside the gate of the yard, his clothes were thin, his body was trembling, and when he saw that the carriage was about to leave the yard, he ran in and threw himself on the ground and knelt down: "Just now, Xiao Wu was dizzy, and he forgot to kowtow to the young master when he went out. Say thank you, Xiao Wu doesn't dare to take advantage of others, as long as Lai Wu Ye doesn't force me to sell Yun Niang and give me a few days, I will return the money to him even if I die..."

"It's such a big deal that it's worth your stay outside the yard in the middle of the night?" Lin Fu hurriedly got out of the car to help Qian Xiaowu up from the icy brick floor and held his arm, only then did he really feel that his clothes were really thin, the clothes on the cold night. , There was not a few taels of cotton in the interlayer of the jacket, and his body was shivering, and he hurriedly took off the open fur cloak and put it on him.

Chen Laiwu finally caught the words next to him, and he glared at Qian Xiaowu: "Who wants you to pay back the money, do you think that what Chen Laiwu said in front of the young master is a fart?"

"Okay," Lin Fu said, "Xiao Wu was beaten by you in Dongshi, and it will take a few days to recover from the injury, and the interest will be waived. The eight hundred money he owes you, I will pay him back first. Come on, you can be settled," asked Lin Jingzhong to count 800 money to Chen Laiwu, and then said to Qian Xiaowu, "I want to ask you to run errands for me in the future; besides, my house lacks a kitchen to do chores, just Being a helper for Miss Liu is not too hard work, if you and your wife are not too wronged, come to Dustpan Alley tomorrow morning..." Then he said to Sister Song Wu, "Please give Qian Xiaowu half a pot of wine and burn a pot of wine. Bring him back jins of mutton." Let Lin Jingzhong settle the money for wine and meat with Song Wuniang.

Qian Xiaowu was about to kneel again, and Lin Bie held him and said, "You have also read books for a few years, and I also read books, so don't break the rules between us..." Looking at Qian Xiaowu's face with tears in his eyes Vertical and horizontal, with a light sigh, hand in hand with Zhang Yubo and Lin Mengde, who were waiting in their respective carriages, and said, "Let's go." He got on the carriage first, then gave Lin Jingzhong a hand and pulled him up.

Lin Mengde watched all this and sighed in his heart. Although he didn't know Qian Xiaowu's details, he didn't know what his talents were. Thinking about the situation tonight, he thought that Qian Xiaowu would not sell his life to him. Lin Fu is strange, and he thought again, winning people's hearts is a principle that most people in the upper class know, but it is easier to know than to do it. He really hasn't seen anyone who can do as meticulous as Lin Fu. It is his own self. Cold-eyed bystanders who thought they could see through the world were also slightly moved.

*****************

Back at Jiyunju, it was already late at night. Except for Zhao Hu and Chen Enze, who were still guarding the door, everyone else had already slept. Lin Jingzhong's drunkenness was hard to dissipate, and he was excited to pull Zhao Hu to talk about what happened tonight. Lin Fu went back to the room and sat, thinking about whether there was anything wrong with his actions tonight, and then took out the book to read. After a while, Liu Yue'er came in with a basin of hot water: "What happened at night? The Zhao brothers gave me a few coins, saying that if they saw a fire in the city, they wanted me to lead his brother to the Gu's house... …”

"It's nothing," Lin Fu said with a smile, thinking that Zhao Hu probably knew what happened tonight from Si Niangzi and went to guard outside the fan building in the middle of the night. I think it's very late now, so I'll ask Zhao Hu about it tomorrow. It is said that when you are doing something outside, it is more convenient to respond if you have to be bright and dark, but there are too few people around. Seeing Liu Yueer wake up and get up, she took the hot water basin and said, "These You shouldn't do it, you should go back and rest..."

"You men, you are too lazy to move and heat up hot water. Most of the time you go to bed without washing your feet. It won't take a few days for the quilt to smell like something. Washing the quilt in winter will make you suffer even more." Liu Yue'er yawned, slightly ashamed. She was adept at covering her lips, and stared at the books on the desk. She also knew a few words and thought: If you don't read serious scientific examination books at night, do you have the heart to read "Da Yue Li * Prison Gao" late at night?

"By the way, you didn't think about asking Qian Xiaowu and his wife to come and help you a few days ago. I met Qian Xiaowu at night. Please ask him and his wife to come over tomorrow morning. If there is anything in the house, you should ask them to do it first..." Lin Bie told Liu Yue'er about this.

"Yeah." Liu Yue'er felt strange: I saw people being bullied so badly a few days ago, and I don't love them. Tonight, I had to meet a couple to come and help them. I really don't know what he thought? She watched Lin Fu wash her face, wash her feet and take the water away before going to bed.

The next day, Lin Fu didn't have the habit of getting up early. He heard the chickens crowing in the alley, and the blue light that came in through the paper windows was still very faint. Domesticated roosters that only croak? Whether it was Liu Yueer, Zhao Hu, Lin Jingzhong, Zhou Pu, Chen Enze, they all developed the habit of getting up when they heard chickens, but they all crept up when they passed the main courtyard, and Lin Fu slept again until he heard Liu Yue Er and Qian Xiaowu and his wife were talking in the yard, he got dressed and got up.

Qian Xiaowu was wearing thin clothes and stood in the yard with his shoulders curled up. When he saw Lin Bie walking out of the door in a shawl, he pulled his wife over to greet him: "Master, Xiaowu and Yunniang will wait for Master's orders after they come over..." Yesterday He neatly folded the fur cloak that Lin Fu wore to him, held it in his arms, and handed it over, "This is the leather robe of the young master..."

"It's not some good clothes, you can keep them and wear them," Lin Fu said. "You didn't have breakfast, right? After breakfast, let's talk about other things..." Let Liu Yueer take them to the backyard for breakfast first, and watch Qian Xiao The clothes of the five couples were really thin, so they pulled Zhao Hu and asked him to rush to the clothing store on the street to buy two thick cotton coats for Qian Xiaowu and his wife.

Lin Bie used a soft bow to draw strings in the yard to practice strength, and practiced a knife again. He didn't deliberately learn swordsmanship from Zhou Pu. For him, learning swordsmanship no longer needs to worry about any extravagance. Although there are many inappropriate points in splitting and stabbing, the principles of technical attack are always the same, as long as the sword is in his hand. If you know it well, it is a weapon for murder.

After sweating, Lin Fu walked to the front yard and saw Chen Enze and Zhao Hu's brother Zhao Mengxiong practicing fistfights. Don't think that Zhao Mengxiong is only twelve years old, he is more than three years younger than Chen Enze, but he is only half a head shorter, stronger in body and stronger. The two of them practiced evenly in the yard.

Lin Jingzhong squatted aside and said with a smile, "Zhao Hu and his three brothers are all reincarnations of overlords. I heard from my mother that Aunt Zhao raised three brothers and went to someone else's house to buy new ewes and feed them with goat milk..."

Lin Fu beckoned Chen Enze and Zhao Mengxiong to come and rest, fearing that Chen Enze would be frustrated because he couldn't beat Zhao Mengxiong, who was three years younger than him, he pointed to his head and said to them: "You are brave and brave, but you are only a general of ten men. The real power of a person is here." He followed Chen Enze and said, "After you finish your homework every day, follow your brother Jingzhong to do things... Remember, it is better to do less things, and don't let the homework you do every day fall behind."

"Yeah." Chen Enze nodded and agreed, he experienced more suffering than they could imagine in Lin Jingzhong, so naturally he would not be easily depressed.

Lin Fu smiled, and told Lin Jingzhong that he was asked to help Zhao Mengxiong find a private school near Dustpan Alley. At this moment, Qian Xiaowu and his wife had breakfast and changed into thick cotton coats. They stood aside and waited for Lin Fu to talk to Lin Jingzhong. After finishing the matter, Liu Yue'er walked over and said, "Xiao Wu and Yun Niang lived in a broken kiln house at the west end of the city. The walls were leaking, and there was an empty house in the backyard, isn't it..."

The backyard of a really big family only lives with maids and wives, and couples will not be allowed to live in it. Naturally, Lin Fu doesn't have that particular attention. She thought that maybe Liu Yue'er was afraid of living alone in the backyard, so she nodded and agreed, "Okay, it's empty anyway. It’s also empty,” he said to Qian Xiaowu, “You and Yunniang are both helping out in the house first, running errands and washing things in the winter, so don’t let the two girls do it, you have to work harder. You and your wife are here to help, you don't have to worry about food, clothing, housing, and transportation, and you will save 800 yuan a month for the two of you~www.wuxiaspot.com~ What do you think?"

Qian Xiaowu said boldly: "Xiaowu has read books for a few years, and knows a few rough words. If Young Master and Brother Mengxiong don't dislike it, I can take the time to teach him..."

"Oh," Lin Fu only knew that Qian Xiaowu was literate and had an excellent memory, but he didn't expect him to have the confidence to be a teacher, so he asked strangely, "Why don't you get a job title, even if you get a stone of rice every month from the government school? Money is better than running errands on the street?"

"My late father was a pig slaughterer," Qian Xiaowu said with a wry smile. "My late mother, Zhou Ru, came from a lesser background..."

Qian Xiaowu/It is true that his father was a pig butcher, but he did not deny his mother's background. Naturally, Lin Fu would not ask too much, and said, "Then Mengxiong, you will have to worry about it. In addition to being literate, You should teach less about the books such as "The Great Learning" and "The Doctrine of the Mean", and you might as well start from the "Spring and Autumn Annals" and other historical books... In addition to Yueyin, I will give you another teacher."

"Don't dare to ask for more, Young Master Meng takes in the cheap couple, Xiaowu and Yunniang will not be able to repay them in the next life." Qian Xiaowu said sincerely.

"What are you talking about? I'll pay you to help me, and it's enough for you to work hard..." Lin Fu said with a smile. At this time, there was the sound of horses' hooves outside the door, and he stopped when he walked outside the door. When someone came to the door, Qian Xiaowu was also very clever. He ran to open the door and saw Gu Wuchen's **** and Yang Pu's son Yang Shi standing in front of the door with a horse.

"It turned out to be Brother Yang Shi, what's the matter with rushing here early in the morning?" Lin Fu asked.

"Master Gu invited you to come over. Master Gu also said that if you didn't have breakfast, you can go and eat together." Yang Shi said.
