Cheng Xiaolian didn't react at first, but when he realized that Yuan Xiaosan was talking about him, the children at the door had almost run, and there was only a five-year-old child left, probably so scared that he couldn't run, and stood at the door and cried loudly.

Cheng Xiaolian walked closer: "Little brother, what's wrong with you?" ”

Who knew that the little boy saw him coming over and cried even more, and at this time, a woman's voice sounded behind him: "Yuan Xiaosan, you are a!" Bullying my little tiger again, you can't die well! ”

Cheng Xiaolian turned his head helplessly: "Hey, it's not like this to touch porcelain, I just went out, and I haven't even touched a single hair of your child, he cried and cried, me?" ”

"Hey, death doesn't change, why didn't you die at home, it's really a good person who doesn't live long, and the scourge lasts for thousands of years. Let me tell you, let me see you bullying my little tiger again, even if your uncle is capable, I will not be finished with you! As he spoke, he hugged Xiaohu and went home, leaving a stunned Cheng Xiaolian.

Cheng Xiaolian sighed, his body's previous life was also lost, and he could scare five or six-year-old children cry when he went there, how many bad things did he did to achieve this effect.

Who knew that before he could figure it out, five eleven or twelve-year-old children ran over: "Third brother, you can be regarded as awake." ”

Cheng Xiaolian was stunned for a moment, and said in his heart Who is this, call me the third brother, is it the little brother of this unlucky ghost?

Seeing that Cheng Xiaolian's face was not good-looking, the children hurriedly explained: "Third brother, are you still blaming us, you really can't blame us for the events of the day, the thing you want to do is to be assigned to the sin of Liaodong, there are people in your family who take care of it, so it's okay, if a few of us follow you, it is estimated that it has been distributed now." ”

Cheng Xiaolian rolled his eyes and said, "I was injured in the head, and my memory is not very good now, you tell me what happened that day." ”

A child said: "That day, Mr. Song on the other side of the street got married, and you took us to the side of the cave house secretly, and at first you said that you wanted to scare and scare the bride, who knew that the third brother you actually moved the real character, we could only run away." ”

Cheng Xiaolian swallowed his saliva and almost choked himself, "Are you serious?" ”

A few children nodded: "Of course, otherwise we wouldn't be able to run, but third brother, you just tore other people's clothes, and before you did anything else, you made people beat their heads full of blood." ”

Another child hurriedly said, "I heard that the bride has been divorced, and Mr. Song said that he wants to marry another family." Third brother, you played too much this time. ”

Cheng Xiaolian scratched his head embarrassedly, and scolded in his heart, uncle, he just crossed over and carried such a big black pot, and it was not wronged at all to let the family kill him in his previous life.

Cheng Xiaolian looked at them: "Where is that woman now?" ”

"Third brother, you don't have to go to someone else to settle accounts, you can't do this anymore, if you continue to do it, you have to make trouble, even if you have a lot of money at home, you won't be able to do it. And third brother, after all, you are an outsider, these local snakes are holding back to rectify you, I can listen to my father, let me stay away from you in the future. ”

Cheng Xiaolian laughed: "Then why are you still running over?" ”

"Hehe, third brother, what kind of friendship do our brothers have, even if someone wants to harm you, a few of us are here, our family will definitely not get involved, and your life can be a little better."

Cheng Xiaolian nodded, and said in his heart that the bastard in his previous life was not useless, and he had at least made a few good friends.

A child waved his hand: "Third brother, a few of us went to see you a few days ago, but Uncle Yuan kicked it out by one person, today you finally came out, we have to have a good get-together, it can be regarded as a celebration of the third brother's great disaster and will have a blessing." ”

The little brothers immediately went to a small hotel in the city, and one of them reached out and took out a silver ingot: "My uncle came to see me yesterday, and today's food and drink are mine." ”

A few people were originally children, and they didn't have much silver, so they thought that it would be good to make do with some food, and they immediately rejoiced, and ordered a table full of dishes they usually wanted to eat, and learned from adults to order two pots of wine, although they couldn't afford to order any good wine, but for them, they just drank wine, at least to prove that they were adults.

Between eating and drinking, Cheng Xiaolian pretended to be drunk, and put their names and information into a mess, all of them were children near his home, Kang Wenle, Yao Zhen, Dong Yong, Feng Guang, Yu Fang, Yan Tie, the first two were twelve years old, and the last three were eleven years old, and the family was basically all people in the city, and two relatives were also small officials in the city, but they were not powerful.

Several people ate and drank happily, and returned to their homes drunk.

It's just that Yuan Zonghao was waiting for Cheng Xiaolian at the gate early, and when he saw him come back, he immediately lowered his face: "You went to find those gangsters again, didn't you?" ”

Cheng Xiaolian suddenly sobered up most of the time: "We didn't mess around, we just had a meal." ”

"Hmph, I've already entrusted someone, the day after tomorrow, you will go to Lord Zhu's mansion to be a servant, be honest in the future, be careful with others, otherwise you will suffer!"

"What? To be a servant? ”

"Hmph, it's time to sharpen your temperament, wait two years to tell you about the family, we don't expect you to do anything big, just leave the bloodline."

"I'm not a stallion!"

"Your greatest value now is to be a stallion!"

Cheng Xiaolian turned around and walked back to the house, and said in his heart, everything is the same, anyway, I don't plan to be the emperor against the Qing Dynasty and restore the Ming Dynasty, and be a housekeeper.

The next day, Cheng Xiaolian went to say goodbye to his little brothers, telling them that he was going to be a servant in someone else's house, and he would reunite when he came back, and let them study hard, maybe they could also take the exam for fame and glory.

Several little brothers were very puzzled when they heard that he was going to be a servant in someone's house, after all, his family was not short of money, and when they heard that it was Lord Zhu's house, they all understood what it meant.

As for the words of studying hard to gain fame, a few people just thought that he was talking nonsense before he sobered up. Children can memorize a book at the age of seven or eight, but they can't recognize all the words in a book, so they go to find what to do if they are uncomfortable.

After Cheng Xiaolian went home, Confucius quietly stuffed a handful of broken silver into his baggage: "Don't let Yuan Zonghao's reckless man see it, after you go, you will definitely have to eat the hardships, and you won't get into trouble, and when we get to Lord Zhu's house, we won't be able to go in." ”

"Don't worry, Second Uncle Kong, I'm not a child anymore, and I won't cause trouble everywhere."

"What do you call me?"

"Second Uncle Kong, that Uncle Yuan, aren't you Second Uncle Kong?"

"It's a terrible name."

"Then you won't have red eyes, will you?"

"Roll on, it's windy in this room, I'm going to study. Go pack your things. ”

That night, Cheng Xiaolian lay in his room tossing and turning, he was looking forward to his future life, but he didn't know where to start. People come over, they know one or two crafts, but they can program themselves, and they are useless in this world, this world doesn't even have steam, let alone electricity, and without computers, they are no different from ordinary people. Even a little uglier than the average person.

As for the meritorious service, there is no need to think about it, he is now in Yunnan, and there is Wu Sangui, the king of Pingxi, by his side, if he remembers correctly, he just personally led his troops to Burma a few years ago, and captured King Gui back to kill him to ask for merit from the Qing court.

But I forgot to ask, what year is it now, and before Wu Sangui raises troops, he must run away quickly, and he must not stay in Yunnan, this place is a dead land, and when the Manchu army invades, no matter whether there is a rebellion at home, if you don't like it, he will kill you with a knife, and there is no place to reason, besides, he looks so ugly, this risk is too great.

When the time comes, there will be a war, but it will be a full eight years, and I must climb to a certain position, so that I will not be a knife and a fish.

Thinking about it, before I knew it, it was already dawn, and Yuan Zonghao slammed on the door: "Boy, get up!" ”

Cheng Xiaolian got up, got dressed, opened the door and went out to wipe his face with cold water, and then lifted his little baggage.

Yuan Zonghao stretched out his hand and stuffed the two steamed buns into his hands, and after eating on the way, he didn't know what time he could eat when he got there.

At this time, Confucius walked out: "Can you not go?" ”

", you sour literati know a fart, hurry up and read your sage book!"

Cheng Xiaolian followed Yuan Zonghao through several streets, came to the back door of a mansion, and knocked lightly.

After a while, the door was opened from the inside, and Yuan Zonghao hurriedly reached out and stuffed a handful of copper coins: "I'm here to find the second master." ”

The man reached out and put the copper coin into his sleeve, and immediately squeezed out a smile on his face: "Wait, I'll go and call you." ”

After waiting for about a while, a chubby middle-aged man walked out and squinted his eyes: "Coming?" ”

"Oops, hey." Yuan Zonghao was full of smiles, and a piece of silver was stuffed with it, and the fat man changed his face: "Don't worry, I will take care of it in the house, as long as I don't open my eyes and provoke the master, other things will not be a problem." ”

Cheng Xiaolian was still standing stupidly, and Yuan Zonghao kicked him on the buttocks: "So eyeless, don't thank you Second Master." ”

After kicking Yuan Zonghao, he regretted it, but he knew what kind of temper the master in front of him was, if he was unhappy and turned his face with himself, all the money these days would be wasted.

Who knew that Cheng Xiaolian respectfully saluted the fat man: "Boy Yuan Xiaosan thanked the second master!" ”

"Yes, it's a clever one, come in with me." Saying that, the fat man turned around: "You can go back too, you can rest assured that the person is in my hands, and I promise to take care of you, the reputation of the second master is not in vain." ”
