The general will eat grass

Zhao Yuansong put on a thick coat, opened the door and lifted the curtain, just in time to hear Dongping pointing at Gongdo and the others and cursing in a low voice: "What's so great about you, your status is lower than mine, no matter how famous the Xiyi slaves are, they are just slaves That's all. You are the rats crossing the street. If you go to the street privately, if you don't get arrested by the government, you will be beaten to death by the whole city."

Dongping would say this because most of the Xiyi slaves were of mixed Austro-Hungarian blood. Every time the Xiongnu went south to plunder, they would first catch a group of Xiyi slaves as cannon fodder. The crowd is furious.

"Hmph, when the time comes, the fourth young master will not be able to save you at all, oh, yes, no, hehe, maybe he'll beg General Feng to save you." Dongping's tone was obscene, vaguely pointing out Zhao Yuansong's future It must be the goods that the master invites pets.

Zhao Yuansong smiled instead of anger, and stepped out of the threshold, "Oh, so Dongping knows me so well." The next second, Zhao Yuansong's expression became serious, and he shouted: "Dongping, who gave you the guts to mock me young master, no! Do you know what crime you committed next?" Turning his head and winking at Gondo, "Come on, let him know."

Gondo was no less than nine feet tall, with the face of a king of hell, and his blue eyes were fiercely shining.He approached Dongping step by step, so scared that Dongping backed away again and again, screaming: "You, you, what do you want? Killing!" Dongping didn't know much, only heard that the Xiyi slaves were very obedient, and they were the top class slaves, but Slaves are equal to prisoners of war, equal to Huns, equal to evil spirits who kill people without blinking an eye and eat people without spit out bones.An evil spirit approached, causing his calf to twist.

Gong Duo took a stride, grabbed him and brought him in front of Zhao Yuansong.Zhao Yuansong: "Tell him to shut up."

Gongdo slapped him down, Dongping fell two meters straight, two teeth came out in a mouthful of blood, Dongping was completely stunned, he covered his cheeks that were instantly swollen into steamed buns, looked at his teeth and then at Zhao Yuansong in a daze.

Last time, he was afraid of Zhao Yuansong because of a guilty conscience. Later, when he got along with Zhao Yuansong, he found that he treated him as before, which was not as scary as he imagined. With the support of Mother Zhao, now he can stay in Hou He has a feeling that he has finally made it through with the approval letter from the government.However, when he returned to the Zizhu courtyard, he was stopped by the barbarian slaves from the two western regions. He felt that he had been humiliated, so he couldn't control his sudden outburst.

"Young master, young master..." Dongping cried, feeling aggrieved, he knelt down slowly, "Master, I made a mistake, please forgive me."

Zhao Yuansong pursed his lips. After nine years of companionship, it would be a lie to say that he has no feelings at all, but no matter how soft-hearted he is, if he is given a chance, will he be able to focus on himself in the future?People always have bad habits all over their bodies, and it is very difficult to change them.

"What's the matter, what's the matter?" Steward Shi rushed over after hearing the news, pushed away the servants watching the excitement in front of the small courtyard, rushed in, glanced at the embarrassed Dongping, and asked Zhao Yuansong with a smile: "Fourth young master, what happened?" What's wrong?"

"Wow, it's my mistake. I shouldn't speak ill of these two Huns. After all, they were given to the young master by General Feng. It's my rudeness. Please forgive me this time." Dongping said quickly Taking a glance at the butler, he was the first to interject and shouted.

Dongping is not all stupid, but occasionally clever.Look, what a clever statement, not only pointing out that Gongdo and the others are invaders hated by the people of Beixuan, but also pointing out that he, the young master, is protecting the slaves because of his personal feelings.

Zhao Yuansong glanced at the servant standing at the entrance of Zizhu Courtyard watching the commotion, and raised the corners of his mouth: "Yes, your mouth is too smelly, and you were making loud noises when I was taking a nap, shouldn't you hit me?" No matter how bad a reputation can be, how bad can it go? "Gondo, hit him again, the face is as big as it looks."

"Young master, you!" Dongping widened his eyes in disbelief.

"The master didn't ask the servant to speak, but the servant dared to intervene. If you don't understand the rules, shouldn't you be taught a lesson?" Zhao Yuansong didn't look at Dongping, but looked at Steward Shi with a smile.

Steward Shi laughed awkwardly, nodded and said, "It's time to learn, it's time to teach."

"That's right, after receiving the punishment, Dongping, you should move out of Zizhu Courtyard, I can't keep you here."

When Dongping heard this, he was in a hurry. He still had tasks to do and couldn't leave Zhao Yuansong's side. "No, no, young master, the little one is really wrong, please forgive the little one this time."

Zhao Yuansong looked down at him: "I have forgiven you many times, let's forget it this time."

Dongping's pleading words were choked in his throat, and he raised his head to look at Zhao Yuansong's eyes, where the light of knowing everything was shining, just like that day, the morning when the first snow fell.

Gondo slapped Dongping again, this time he didn't knock out his teeth, but directly broke his cheek.Dongping followed the butler and left, and Gondo went to close the courtyard door, just in time to see his sinister gaze looking back. "Master, I feel that Dongping has a bad temper, and I'm afraid he will harm the master in the future. Do you want to..." He wiped his neck.

Zhao Yuansong was startled, and immediately shook his head.He is not a good man and a believer, nor is anyone who wrongs him, he will use an eye for an eye for an eye for an eye.Besides, they have been together for nine years, even kittens and puppies have a little affection, right?Zhao Yuansong likes miscellaneous travel notes. From the books, he knows that Xiyi slaves are fierce but not cruel. Loyalty is their belief. In their eyes, people like Dongping are worse than dogs.

"Oh, forget it, just pay more attention to him in the future." Zhao Yuansong thought in a blink of an eye, since Feng Jingde sent him back to the mansion, many people around him began to change, and Dongping was just one of them.Second Miss Zhao looked at him, her hatred materialized, and she found faults more frequently.And why did Feng Jingde hate her, and why did he tell him to be careful of her?

"Yes." Gong Duo saluted, and before Zhao Yuansong could react, he flew over the courtyard wall and disappeared.

Zhao Yuansong: "..." Turning his head to look at Xiao Wu who was smiling aside, Xiao Wu knew that he was confused, and explained with blinking his dark blue eyes: "Master, the slaves are the countrymen trained by the general, full-time spies and Assassination."

Well, they are really overkill for him.As an indirect guest, the public only knows Lord Xia Jin in the early days of the founding of the country. He single-handedly used anti-indirect tactics to win a city without bloodshed.Countryside is a kind of indirect guest, mostly used in the army, to infiltrate the enemy army with people from the same country, and listen to the enemy's military situation.

When Zhao Yuansong asked Xiao Wu about the situation of the Xiyi people, Gondo had already detected the basic information related to Dongping.After hearing that Mrs. Hou asked him to pay more attention to him, Zhao Yuansong unknowingly raised his eyebrows.As the wife of everyone, Mrs. Hou manages the entire Hou Mansion, and it is not a big deal for someone to monitor everyone in the mansion.Dongping has been transferred away, and the danger around him has decreased, so he just needs to guard against Miss Zhao Er in the next step. "Zhao Lanzhi lives in the inner courtyard, can we find out about her?"

This time Gondo didn't answer, but Xiao Wu answered the order. "Master, don't worry, within three days, I will definitely bring back news of her." Then I saw him go back to his room, fiddle with a stick of incense, and then come out with a bell on his face.

Zhao Yuansong was greatly surprised, and walked over to look at him carefully, except for his height and shoulder width, he was nothing like him. "This trick is amazing."

Xiao Wu lowered his voice, which was really feminine, "Nu Aniang is a Ryukyu girl, and Ryukyu artists are good at disguise and acrobatics."

So it is!Zhao Yuansong nodded.

Mr. Qin said in class that the Xiyi people include the Tuoba branch of the Huns, immigrants from Xi'ao, and the small northern tribe Rouran Chile. , Ask Beixuan for help, the Xiyi people formed their own alliance, entrenched in the desert oasis in the northwest, and those whose family circumstances were not good enough to survive would come to the Central Plains as Xiyi slaves.

"By the way, do the Huns really have no women?" Zhao Yuansong didn't go to that class, and borrowed the content from his friend's notes. The friend recorded that the Huns had no women and no food, and they relied on robbery every year.

Xiao Wu: "That's not true. Among the Xiongnu, the Daxi tribe is the most powerful, followed by the Xianbei tribe. For the convenience of fighting, only young and strong warriors are kept in their clan. As for women, the women and the elderly of their clan live in the Qing Dynasty. Such as land, that place is their holy place, and no one outsiders knows where it is. And the woman they snatched back was locked up in the 'sacred temple' by them, collectively supported, and used for pleasure. My mother used to be Beixuan The Ryukyu girl of the big family was snatched by them and imprisoned in the temple, she became pregnant with me, and sneaked out when they were not guarding her strictly."

Zhao Yuansong pursed his lips, reached out and patted Xiao Wu's shoulder.There are many people with miserable lives, and Zhao Yuansong can only comfort him in this way.

In the evening, the butler came to tell that Marquis Chang Le was looking for him. On the way to the study, he passed a rockery. Zhao Yuansong took Gong Duo to stand at the corner of the corridor and listened to the people below. Don't worry, there will be no mistakes."

Not long after, Dongping and Lingdang walked out from the rockery one after another. They looked around and saw no one, so they quickly separated and left.Zhao Yuansong then took Gondo to turn around the corridor, he gave Gondo a wink, Gondo turned around and disappeared, and he walked towards the study unhurriedly.

This Second Miss Zhao is really uneasy and kind!How could she, a big girl, have such vicious thoughts?

Zhao Yuansong couldn't help but pursed his lower lip again when he thought of the third master concubine saying that this is the man-eating Hou's mansion.

Changle Hou Duan sat behind the desk, his face darkened.Today in court, he was "congratulated" by some adults on his daughter's first appearance, and ignored by Feng Jingde who passed by, so he was very unhappy.

"Master Hou, the Dingguo Mansion has 64 sets of dowry gifts, which are very heavy. It seems that we need to add some more." Madam Hou looked through the gift list and mentally calculated which ones could be put into the dowry.

"Tim what Tim, you have prepared those enough. To look good, just take them apart and put them in boxes separately."

Mrs. Hou thought the same way, she was overjoyed, she nodded her head, and handed the gift list to Chang Lehou.

After a while, Zhao Yuansong asked to see him.Chang Lehou glared at him, and handed him the gift list directly, "This is your dowry. Your mother's status is humble, and she didn't leave you anything. The Hou's mansion is not big, and you have to support a hundred or so people. What can I give you?" that is all."

Zhao Yuansong took it and glanced roughly, then raised his eyebrows and smiled.Logically speaking, as the son of the Hou Mansion, even if he wants to marry, he must get at least half of the family property. However, apart from a few Zhuangzi, the total value of a hundred acres of farmland in his hands is less than one-tenth of the property of the Hou Mansion. one.

The gift list looks good. The tea farms, grain shops, and cloth shops are all located in remote areas in the mountainous areas of the suburbs of Beijing. Weaving and spinning shops, grain shops, and medicine stores are all located in the civilian business district of Nancheng.The only good ones, the gambling house and the pawn shop, are in the wealthy circle, but these two businesses need connections to open.

In the past, he only felt that he was an illegitimate child, and it was not surprising that they treated him like this.Now he has thought about it deeply, not to mention the corner shops, just take gambling houses and pawnshops as examples, if a business is not well managed, it will offend certain dignitaries.He is a little dude, no one gives advice, and he has never learned how to manage the middle class. As long as he is negligent and something happens in it, Zhao Yuansong can be suppressed in disguise.

At this moment, Zhao Yuansong finally understood that the words of the third master Shu were right, the Hou Mansion was a place to eat people, and without knowing it, people would be tortured to death.
