The pretty boy of the landlord's house

Shen Bojun also frowned, after much deliberation, he asked Steward Zhou to follow him to the study, sat at the desk, and wrote an urgent letter, which was already packed, but he hesitated when writing the addressee , put the letter in the sleeve, and send it later.

In such a tense atmosphere, dinner was uneasy.

The atmosphere in the county magistrate's mansion was even more tense. After Li Zhongju was beaten, Li Jidi was furious and said that he would confiscate the Du family.

The other party came with the badge of General Shenwu, saying that a batch of military silver had been lost within their jurisdiction, and Li Ji had to find it within half a month, otherwise he would be dismissed from office.

Li Jidi dared not listen, and immediately dispatched personnel to search for the military bank.

"Brother, are you just letting that Du Zhou go?" Li Zhongju asked angrily.

Li Jidi looked at the deputy commander who hadn't left yet, and said cursingly: "Du Zhou, Du Zhou, you will believe whatever that rogue says? Let go of your affairs first, and if I lose my official position, you will be in trouble too."

Li Zhongju was unwilling to do so, but he was at a loss for what to do, so he could only calm down for a while.

Xu Hansheng was beaten miserably. In fact, the one who beat him was Brother Zhu who was in debt from the gambling shop. Brother Zhu soon found out that he was kicked out by the Du family, so he brought people to block him, and beat him anyway. After a pause, he waited at the gate of the yamen for a long time and saw no follow-up. Instead, he saw a group of imposing people go in, and then left in despair.

What can I do if I have no money?

Xu Hansheng rolled his eyes again, he couldn't be beaten by Du Zhou in vain, he won't benefit at all.

Shen Bojun was restless for a whole day, and asked Zhou Rong to pack up Du Zhou and Zhao Fengye's far away luggage, and the carriage stopped at the back door. If someone came to arrest them, they could leave immediately.

Xiaohu was out looking for news, and when he came back at night, he told what he had seen and heard. Li Jidi took all the yamen out to patrol the mountains, and he didn't know what he was looking for.

Shen Bojun felt a little relieved. When it was late at night, Zhou Rong's neighbor's third uncle's eldest nephew's brother-in-law's younger brother brought news that he happened to be a master in the yamen, and that Li Jidi would no longer care about Li Zhongju. things.

Only the Du family put their hearts in their stomachs, but they didn't really feel at ease.

Only Zhao Fengye has nothing to do with himself, and he is not afraid at all.

After a few days like this, Du Zhou stayed at home quietly, not daring to go out.

Woke up early this morning, Mr. Shen Bo called everyone in the house to the lobby. Uncle Wu was kneeling on the cold ground tremblingly, desperately begging for mercy.

Shen Bojun is in Li Jiafa, and Wu Shu has worked in Du's family for more than ten years, and even colluded with outsiders to frame Shaodong's family, and spread rumors that insulted Du Zhou's reputation everywhere.

He was talking about Du Zhou to the servants in the house again, but he was bumped into by housekeeper Zhou. He cried bitterly and swore to let Mr. Shen Bo think of his kindness for so many years and let him go.

Shen Bojun originally wanted to arrest him to see the official, but after thinking about it for a long time, he finally expelled him from the Du residence and never used it again.

Du Zhou didn't sleep well because of his restlessness. When he woke up, he had already missed this matter.

He went to greet Shen Bojun, and Shen Bojun comforted him a few words, saying: "The matter is over, don't worry anymore, go out for a walk when you have time."

"Okay, father." Du Zhou replied.

After returning, Tweety told Du Zhou the ins and outs of the matter vividly.

After Du Zhou heard what Tweety said, he couldn't help but said in surprise: "Xu Hansheng was beaten? This...what's going on?"

"Young master, don't worry. This matter has nothing to do with you. Master Shen sent someone to investigate. That Xu Hansheng said before that he was looking for a job in the city. He didn't have a serious business. He was serving people in such a place because of his sensuality. He was contaminated with gambling habits, owed a lot of money outside, and came to the village to hide from debts when he couldn't get along." Cui'er said this, with lingering fears in her heart, "Fortunately, you found out about the young master's family early, otherwise you would have made a funeral star and came back. .”

Du Zhou was stunned for a while, and then asked after a while: "He was beaten, what does it have to do with me?"

"It's just that the creditor came to the door, and he happened to be kicked out by us. He said he had a way to pay back the money, so this happened, and that Jinghui surnamed Wu talked nonsense and brought people like Xu Hansheng into the mansion. Come on, let's talk about it, he owes debts and was beaten to death, everyone in the country knows it, and he wants to take a shit bowl to our house, bah." Tweety cursed.

Du Zhou frowned, and said again: "How will Uncle Wu deal with it?"

Tweety said indignantly: "Kick it out and never use it again, it's really cheap for him."

"Then where is Xu Hansheng now?" Du Zhou frowned, always feeling a little uneasy.

Tweety thought for a while, and said: "After Li Zhongju didn't care about this matter, he disappeared, maybe he was beaten to death."

Instead of letting out a sigh of relief, Du Zhou became even more melancholy, saying, "It's a pity too, why would you want to gamble if you have hands and feet?"

"Why did the Young Master sympathize with that guy? Thinking about the last time the family was separated, the family was already short of staff. This year is approaching, you are going to get married again, the concierge is on leave, and Uncle Wu, the inner thief, is driven away. We are all too busy. "Tweety said with some melancholy, now the people in the family can't wait to break one into two, but the matter still can't be dealt with.

The main ones are those who are idle, why do they want to get married on the 28th of the twelfth lunar month, and this is the Chinese New Year and they have to do the marriage.

Thinking of this, Cui'er couldn't help but said: "That young master Biao is really a lazy man. His health has long been healed, but he just eats and doesn't work, and always goes out. He beat the yamen servant before. If he is seen and arrested What can I do now?"

"Are you talking ill of me again?" Zhao Fengye's cold voice came from outside the house.

Tweety almost bit her tongue, but luckily he didn't set his eyes on Tweety, but said to Du Zhou: "Zhouer, let's go out for a walk, you've been bored at home for a long time."

"Alright." Du Zhou responded, and he looked up and down Zhao Fengye. This man is tall and strong, and he looks like a dignified figure. He must be able to do two things at work. It would be great if he worked harder.

He added: "It's best to find some people to help in the house."

After hearing this, Zhao Fengye couldn't help laughing and said, "It's better to buy someone back."

"Then go and have a look." Du Zhou smiled, thinking that he really doesn't understand, everyone's life is still going on these days, especially in Nanzhou, where the weather is good and every household has food to eat, how can there be people? Sell ​​your own?

Zhao Fengye raised his eyebrows, noncommittal.

It was the same market as before. As the New Year approached, it became more and more lively here. Several small towns and villages around came here to go to the market. Du Zhou was squeezed in the crowd. Zhao Fengye took him by the shoulders and led him forward. go.

Tweety was pushed back and forth, and she had been separated from Du Zhou and the others a long time ago. Suddenly, she felt her waist was empty, and was hit by someone. She immediately realized that her purse had been stolen, and immediately shouted: "Come on, catch the thief!" ah."

But when people come and go, the thief has already mixed into the crowd.

Cui'er cried out anxiously, suddenly a person rushed out from behind, knocked the little thief to the ground in two or three strokes, very skillful.

"Girl, your purse." The man handed the purse back to Tweety.

Tweety thanked her repeatedly, but the man ignored her, and without saying a word, she returned to her original place, knelt on the ground, and the straw that fell from running just now stuck in her hair again.

People came and went, and everyone looked at the strong man with a look that was up for grabs. He was silent, squatting on guard, looking for someone who could buy him.

"Sell yourself to bury brother." Tweety's eyes lit up when she saw the large characters in front of him, and she hurried to find Du Zhou.

At this time, Du Zhou walked to Yu's small stall again, and their family developed new food, fried fresh milk and horseshoe pearl milk tea.

Fried fresh milk is made from goat’s milk, added sugar, and then boiled with flour to make it sticky. After cooling, cut into pieces and coat them with egg liquid. There are no pearls in this year. Into a pearl, the taste is very good.

Very popular in the market.

The fried fresh cream is wrapped in paper and sold, and the bubble tea is brought with a bowl, and I bought it and took it home to drink.

The people on the left, right, left, and right were all lined up, and Du Zhou couldn't squeeze in, so he could only look around, and couldn't help but said to Zhao Fengye: "This person has a really good brain."

"It really works." Zhao Fengye squinted his eyes, looked at Zhao Xiaochun who was helping Yu Jiujiu, and couldn't help smiling. He was very involved in life here, and he didn't know whether it was true or not.

Du Zhou poked his head and watched for a while, and there were not many people in line. Zhao Fengye asked, "Do you want a drink? I'll line up for you."

"Don't bother, I don't really want to eat these." Du Zhou said indifferently.

Tweety ran out of breath: "Young Master, Young Master, I have found you."

"Why are you running in such a hurry?" Du Zhou asked.

"Come with me, isn't our family going to recruit long-term workers? I saw a suitable candidate. He is selling his body to bury his brother. He looks very strong and must be able to work." Cui'er pulled Du Zhou and left .

Zhao Fengye patted Cui'er's hand away calmly, and Cui'er subconsciously glared at Zhao Fengye, but soon his cold eyes made her feel scared, and she could only look away resentfully.

"Lead me the way." Du Zhou hurriedly said.

Tweety said again: "Just now he helped me, my purse was almost robbed by a thief, thanks to him... it's right in front."

There were already several people around the place Tweety pointed at. Du Zhou walked over and found that he knew him. He looked at the man beside Du Xu and subconsciously wanted to turn around.

Tweety also secretly said: "It's really bad luck."

"Why isn't ten taels of silver enough?" Du Xu asked coldly, frowning.

The kneeling strong man frowned and said nothing.

Zhao Fengye asked, "Why don't you go and have a look?"

"I suddenly remembered..." Du Zhou was hesitating to find an excuse.

Du Xu raised his voice and said, "You're an embryo, what do you mean you won't sell it to me? Do you really think I can't afford it? Tell me how much it is."

"I have already agreed to the new owner." The man said neither humble nor overbearing.

Du Xu looked displeased, and said, "Call your new employer, and I'll talk to him."
