Cheng Xiaolian had no choice but to follow Zhu Shaoxiong into the study, he could only rack his brains and think about how to make Zhu Shaoxiong not like himself and not kill himself.

It's so easy to make this rebellious teenager like him, you are more rebellious than him, and he will definitely worship you like a confidant big brother.

But that is definitely not the life that Cheng Xiaolian wants, if there is no lower limit to living than anyone, can the people of the Qing Dynasty compare with modern people, but relatively speaking, if you climb up fast, the height will be limited, no matter what you do in the future, you will be taken out and said, in the past, this person was a slave to the young master of the Zhu family, lost his conscience, there is no lower limit, and he is definitely not a person who can have deep friendships.

So Zhu Shaoxiong can be a gentleman, and he will change himself in the future, which is a typical example of the prodigal son's return. I can't follow him to make mistakes, others will forgive him for his youth and ignorance, but they will definitely not understand his own involuntarily. Although Cheng Xiaolian does not have much ambition for the time being, in this era of attaching importance to fame, he is not willing to lose his bottom line until he makes a choice between life and death.

Soon Cheng Xiaolian followed Zhu Shaoxiong to the study, Zhu Shaoxiong seemed very interested: "Little San, let me tell you, the rule of our yard is that rabbits don't eat grass by the nest, if you dare to attack the girl in the yard, don't blame me for breaking your three legs, what ability do you have to go to the Qinglou with me to use, anyway, people collect money, let's have fun, each has what he wants." ”

Cheng Xiaolian glanced at Zhu Shaoxiong at this time, and he didn't expect that although this young master was a bastard, he still had a little conscience.

He didn't know that the general environment was like this, Zhu Shaoxiong grew up reading sage books, and orthodox thought had been imprinted into his bones, although the disappointment of Zhu Guozhi made him indignant, and then let loose his bones, but he only dared to challenge this kind of rules and regulations of father and son, and he did not dare to have the slightest disrespect for the way of saints.

Zhu Shaoxiong longed for his father to be a good official for the country and the people, and a representative of Confucian orthodoxy, but Zhu Guozhi went against what he thought, and the official became bigger and bigger, and the huge contrast between ideals and reality made him disappointed and lose all directions.

In the end, there were only two paths left in front of him, one was to be a real literati, but because of the Nanjing Wailing Temple case, those literati would never agree with him. The other is to be a black-hearted official like Zhu Guozhi, and under the blessing of Zhu Guozhi, he will definitely be able to make great achievements in his career.

One road you want to take has been blocked, and another broad road you don't want to take, and in the end you can only let go of your wreckage, cursing in your heart, this is God's punishment for you Zhu Guozhi, even if you can't repay yourself for greedy money, you have to repay your son.

So this is the freak of Zhu Shaoxiong, he is very good to his subordinates, otherwise it is impossible to save Cheng Xiaolian, but he is extremely disgusted with people who have a relationship with Zhu Guozhi, in order to make Zhu Guozhi's life unstable, he married Zhu Guozhi to him three women, all of whom handed over the letter of resignation, and finally the family was humiliated and committed suicide. These women are all right with him, how can the family behind them not have a grudge against Zhu Guozhi?

In the end, Zhu Guozhi also accepted his fate, never married him a woman again, and let him wander outside, maybe Zhu Guozhi had expected that he would always have to make a choice between the emperor and the king of Pingxi, and no matter which one he chose at that time, he would inevitably die, there would be no eggs under the nest, and it was up to him what Zhu Shaoxiong wanted to do, as for what he thought in his heart, Zhu Guozhi didn't care, and he didn't bother to care.

Besides, Cheng Xiaolian heard this and responded: "Young master, don't worry, I'm still young, and I will definitely not be interested in this." ”

"Boring! I finally brought you over to read the forbidden book, and you said you wouldn't be interested! ”

Cheng Xiaolian was stunned for a moment, you see what you say, just say that this kind of rebellious teenager turns his face faster than turning a book, he didn't answer a word correctly, he didn't expect it to come true so soon, he has to deal with it well, save his life, it would be better if he could go back.

Thinking of this, he deliberately didn't say a word, and said in his heart that I didn't speak, isn't it boring, you should send me back, right? Although he was bullied a little over there, at least his life was not in danger.

"Yo, you're pretty tough。。。。。。 kid"

Who knew that before the words were finished, Cheng Xiaolian hurriedly knelt on the ground: "Young master spare your life!" ”

At that time, Zhu Shaoxiong's face was very ugly: "Okay, well, since you don't want to play with me, then don't blame me for being rude." Little two! ”

"Young master, you command!" A servant was already on his knees.

"This kid makes me unhappy, but he slaughtered him like this, he can't help but be unconvinced, you give me an idea."

Xiao Er frowned, and said with a smile: "We have a paddy field at home, which was taken by the son-in-law of King Pingxi, and I had to rob it, but the lord was reluctant, and King Pingxi didn't open his mouth, so this matter is over, but three or four people who went to collect rent in a row are all dead in vain, and anyone can see that it is the son-in-law of King Pingxi who sent someone to do it, and now it's time to collect rent, it's better to send Xiao San to go, Xiao San must be very capable." ”

Zhu Shaoxiong was stunned for a moment: "This idea is good, but collecting rent from Zhu Guozhi doesn't it seem that I lost to him?" ”

"Young master, things can't be looked at like this, you think, if we collect the silver and spend it ourselves, we don't have to spend the master's money, wouldn't it kill two birds with one stone."

Cheng Xiaolian scolded in his heart: "This is two birds with one stone, if you don't learn the idiom, you won't be able to use it, and you will push me to death, am I a villain in my life?" ”

Zhu Shaoxiong clapped his hands: "Okay, Xiaoer, with you, it is really a great improvement with the young master, this idea of lack of virtue and smoke has come up, let him collect the rent tomorrow, and now blow him away for me!" ”

Everyone has seen what it means to ascend to the sky in one step and enter the ground with one foot. hurriedly pushed Cheng Xiaolian out, and said in his heart that you kid is going to die this time.

Zhu Shaoxiong snorted: "Young master, I am not a harsh person, come here, reward him with ten taels of silver, let him have a good meal, and have the strength to work for the young master!" ”

Cheng Xiaolian was kicked out of Zhu Shaoxiong's courtyard with ten taels of silver, and couldn't help sighing, saying in his heart whether to take the opportunity to run away tomorrow, yes, it's a fool not to run, you can't go to die!

At this time, Xiao Si ran out: "Xiao San, the young master asked me to tell you, tomorrow I will send you five servants to boost the momentum, you must complete the young master's task!" ”

Yes, people blocked the back road, and sent five people to keep an eye on him, Cheng Xiaolian dared to guarantee that when the time came, those five people would definitely turn around and run, leaving him a heroic martyr.

Thinking of this, he sighed, he was probably the most unlucky traverser in history, he had done all the dirty work, and now he was about to be forced to die.

"If there is a next crossing, I hope to be a prince." Cheng Xiaolian read silently.
