The happy life of a prodigal

According to his words, it is: This book was given to me by the young master, even if I die, this book and the sweet potato must not be thrown away!

It is precisely because the young master gave him this book, so whenever he has free time, he reads these two books.

Especially Romance of the Three Kingdoms, he has read it twice in just one month.

When you encounter a word you don't know, ask Guan Liu, who has a reputation as a scholar.

Therefore, during this period of time, he has changed from a peasant who knows nothing and nothing to a half-educated man.

There is a saying in "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms" that the times make heroes.

For Qian Zheng, this sentence couldn't be more suitable for him.

After leaving Fang's mansion in the capital and heading to Jiangnan, in just one month, he seemed to be a completely different person.

From the timid and fearful at first, to the brave and decisive today.

From being illiterate at first, to knowing poetry and books...

Of course, this book of poetry is just a "Romance of the Three Kingdoms".

All in all, because of Fang Xiu's words of encouragement and this "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", Qian Zheng is no longer the original Qian Zheng.

"Wait a while, you repair a book, I will pass it to Mr. Tang Hao, and ask him to help find someone to send to the capital."

Qian Zheng looked at Guanshi Liu and said.

Guanshi Liu nodded, and then, with a look of worry on his face, he said, "Tang Hao...why did he take us in?"

He couldn't understand this matter at all.

After all, although they are from Fangfu, they look like beggars now.

In fact, if it weren't for the money being maintained in the middle, and their firm beliefs, I'm afraid they would have been no different from beggars.

What substantial benefits can people like myself bring to the sons of the three great families in Gusu City?

He is a scholar, and even the steward of Fangfu.

There is no one who understands the sophistication of the world better than him.

For a person like Tang Hao, it is absolutely impossible to do one thing aimlessly.

Qian Zheng thought for a while and said, "Taking us in may not be beneficial, but there is no disadvantage either."

This can only be his explanation.

"We have no other choice but to trust him."

After a pause, Qian Zheng continued.

After hearing this, Guanshi Liu nodded and said, "Indeed."

"You three, don't relax your vigilance during this time. Let's sleep in the same room and take turns on duty. Don't sleep too hard, and be ready to leave at any time."

Qian Zheng looked at the other three people and spoke.

These three people are the guards of the Fang Mansion, and they were all veterans who followed Uncle Anping in the South and North Wars, and they encountered many more things than these two people.

Therefore, even after suffering so much, he still maintains the vigilance he should have.

No matter what time it is, it is the absolute guarantee for the safety of the two of them and Sweet Potato, and it is also the force that Qian Zheng trusts most.

"It's fine for the two of us to be on duty at night. Liu Dong is injured. During this time, let him rest first."

The two guards nodded, and then said.

Liu Dong stretched out his hand to thump the person who spoke, and scolded: "I have been hungry for too long, so I was picked by that dog.

If I'm full, let's see if I don't drag him down and make his dog's face swell. "

"All right......"

Qian Zheng said: "The five of us take turns to watch the night. You are all tired enough during this time. When you rest, Sweet Potato still needs your protection."

"Sweet potatoes are no big deal."

On the side, Guanshi Liu said: "Of course, sweet potatoes are also very important, but others don't know, they are just treated as weeds, we should be wary of that Wu family.

That young master of the Wu family doesn't look like a good person, I followed him back then..."

Speaking of this, it came to an abrupt end.

However, the three guards except Qian Zheng understood the second half of the sentence.

This young master of the Wu family is exactly the same as the young master back then.

At that time, they were by the young master's side, so of course they had a certain understanding of the young master's thoughts.

Among other things, if the young master encounters such a thing, he will definitely not let it go.

Therefore, this young master of the Wu family will never let him go easily.

Qian Zheng heard this, thought for a while, and said: "We are in the Tang Mansion, and he will have nothing to do with us for a while, as long as this letter from the family is sent to the capital.

After the young master has seen it, the young master of the Wu family is not a problem...

So during this period of time, we only need to observe the growth status of the sweet potatoes in peace, and then protect ourselves..."

3 Chapter Ninety

While speaking, there was a knock on the door.

The three guards immediately put down the bowls in their hands and looked towards the door vigilantly.

Two of them even took out their daggers from their pockets, looking like they were ready for battle.

During this period of time, whether it was road robbery or plundering, they had seen too much, and they had already formed a habit.

No one is worthy of their trust but each other.

"who is it?"

Qian Zheng looked towards the door and asked.

"It's me, Tang Hao..."

A voice came from outside the door.

The other four people all turned their eyes to Qian Zheng, and seeing him nodding, they hid the dagger back in their bosoms.

Qian Zheng got up, walked outside, and opened the door.

Tang Hao and the middle-aged guard before him were standing at the door, holding a pile of clothes in their hands.

"How many of you are eating well?"

Tang Hao glanced at the other four people, then looked at Qian Zheng, smiled and asked.

Qian Zheng also showed a smile on his face, nodded, and said, "This is the best meal we have had since we left the capital. We will remember Mr. Tang's kindness in our hearts, and we will definitely repay you in the future."

Tang Hao waved his hand and said, "The Central Plains has not been peaceful recently, and many businessmen who came to Jiangnan from the north have similar experiences to you.

Although the Tang Mansion does not have much power, it still has a few acres of fertile land and a few shops. In such a situation, it is still possible to help. "

Having said that, he paused, then turned to look at the middle-aged steward behind him, and gave him a wink.

The middle-aged steward immediately understood, holding several sets of clothes, walked in front of them, put them on the table, and said: "This is the clean clothes my young master prepared for a few guests.

After a few guests have eaten and drank enough, they may wish to change. "

Seeing this scene, Qian Zheng opened his mouth, wanting to say something.

Before he could speak, he heard Tang Hao say: "It's just a little thought, if I have something to go to the capital in the future, I still need to rely on a few people to take care of me..."

When Qian Zheng heard this, he didn't say any more, just cupped his hands: "Thank you Mr. Tang!"

Seeing this, the other four also bowed their hands: "Thank you Mr. Tang."

"Easy to do, easy to do..."

Tang Hao smiled, glanced at the people in the room, and said belatedly: "The clothes have been delivered, so I'll go out first."

After saying that, he turned to leave.

"Wait a moment......"

Qian Zheng said.

Tang Hao turned around and looked at Qian Zheng with a smile on his face.

Qian Zheng thought for a while and asked, "I wonder if I can borrow the pen and ink from the Young Master's house?"

Hearing this, Tang Hao smiled and said, "Of course."

Turning to look at the middle-aged steward, he ordered: "Go find a set of pens, inks, papers and inkstones."

"Yes, Master!"

The middle-aged steward nodded, turned and left the room.

"Thank you Mr. Tang."

Qian Zheng clasped his hands.

"You don't need to be too polite, you guys have a good rest..."

Tang Hao bowed back, then turned and left the room.

After a while, the middle-aged steward came to the room with a set of pens, ink, paper and inkstone.

Qian Zheng stretched out his hand to take it, thanked him a few words, and handed it over to Guanshi Liu.

Guanshi Liu reached out to take the pen and paper, with a somewhat melancholy expression on his face.

During this month, he never thought that he would be able to hold a pen one day.

He didn't know how many times he thought that he had no possibility to live anymore, or that he didn't have the courage to go on.

"How should I write it?"

Guanshi Liu breathed out as if sighing, raised his eyes, and looked at Qian Zheng.

Qian Zheng had a thoughtful look on his face, and then he said, "Since it's a letter, it's natural to write it truthfully. It started when we encountered bandits after we left the capital..."

One speaks, one writes.

It took more than half an hour to write down all the experiences of the past month on paper.

Guanshi Liu put down his pen, with a worried look on his face, thought for a while, and said, "If the young master knows that we haven't grown sweet potatoes yet, will he..."

The following words were not spoken, but everyone present knew what he wanted to say.

The young master is a short-tempered person.

He has always done what he thinks of, and generally speaking, he can succeed.

This time, if he knew that he had messed up this matter, what should he do if he was blamed?

They are helpless in this city of Gusu, and their only hope is the support of the young master.

If they don't even have this, how can they survive?

The three guards are also old people from the Fang Mansion, and they still know the young master to a certain extent, so they all have the same expression on their faces.

Only Qian Zheng, with an appreciative look on his face, said, "The young master is not that kind of person.

If he knows what we have gone through and the efforts we have made to protect sweet potatoes, instead of blaming us, he will reward us.

All we need to do now is to grow sweet potatoes well, and don't think too much about other things. "

After he finished speaking, he picked up the letter on the table, folded it, put it in his arms, and said: "I will give this letter to Mr. Tang later, and let him forward it to the capital. You rest first." , I'll go and see how the sweet potatoes are growing."

After finishing speaking, he turned around and walked to the side of several porcelain pots where sweet potatoes were grown, and observed carefully.

Seeing this scene, the people next to him showed a little helplessness on their faces, but no one refuted it.

After all, he knew about Qian Zheng, and it could be said that he valued sweet potatoes more than his own life.

It may be for this reason that the young master promoted him to be a steward and let him be the main person in charge of this trip to the south of the Yangtze River.

On the other hand, Qian Zheng didn't think so much.

At this moment, he was full of food and drink, and he had only one thought left, and that was...to take good care of the sweet potatoes!
