Yuan Zonghao sighed deeply, he didn't know whether this decision was right or wrong, he could only treat a dead horse as a live horse doctor, but seeing Cheng Xiaolian like this today, he was a lot more relieved, he didn't care about thinking so much, turned around and walked home.

Besides, Cheng Xiaolian followed the person known as the second master into the courtyard, and then passed through several small courtyards, and arrived at a courtyard near the west, and the second master shouted at the house: "Zhu Fu, come out!" ”

A man in his forties rushed out of it: "Second master, you command." ”

"This is the new Yuan Xiaosan, a distant relative of mine, you help take care of it, although he is punished if he makes a mistake, but there is one point, he is not allowed to make mistakes in front of the master, if there is an accident, I can ask you."

"Second master, don't worry, I've brought dozens of this kind of people, but I've never dragged you back from the second master."

"Well, tell him the rules in the yard, I still have something to do, so I'll go first." As he spoke, he turned and left the small courtyard.

Zhu Fu circled around Cheng Xiaolian: "Okay, boy, if you can climb up with the second master, your family has wasted a lot of silver." ”

Cheng Xiaolian smiled shyly, reached out and took out a handful of broken silver from his bag and stuffed it into Zhu Fu's hand: "Uncle Fu, this is a little meeting gift for the little nephew, not a tribute." ”

Zhu Fu reversed the weight of the silver: "Well, you kid is clever enough, you can mix in our mansion, if you are a fool with money and no eyesight, I will never let you see the master in this life." ”

Cheng Xiaolian laughed: "It's all up to Uncle Fu to mention it." ”

"Okay, let's not talk nonsense, let's tell you about the rules of this mansion first, from today on, even if you are the person brought by my Zhu Fu, there are three kinds of servants in our mansion alone, one is sold in the mansion, one is given from above, and the other is you. You are somewhere in between, and your status is not too high, and you are not too bad. So in the future, with a little eyesight, when you meet someone given from above, you have to pretend to be a grandson. ”

Cheng Xiaolian scratched his head: "It seems that our old man has done quite a big job, and there are servants from above." ”

"Nonsense, our lord is the governor of Yunnan, and he is a big official from the second grade!"

Cheng Xiaolian plopped down and sat on the ground: "What kind of official do you say our lord is?" ”

"Governor of Yunnan, why are you so daring, the master has not come to you yet, and he scared you stupid with a name?"

Cheng Xiaolian was full of bitterness, and now he finally understood whose house he had arrived, Zhu Guozhi, the governor of Yunnan, and anyone who has watched "Kangxi Dynasty" knows that Wu Sangui rebelled and persuaded Zhu Guozhi to surrender, Zhu Guozhi killed all his wives and children, and then preferred to die rather than surrender, and was finally sacrificed by Wu Sangui.

Of course, Zhu Guozhi is a good person in that TV series, but history gave him a name, called "Zhu Baidi", you can know this person's character by listening to the name, but because he died of martyrdom, he was embellished in the Qing history.

Thinking of this, Xiaolian hurriedly asked: "Uncle Fu, how many years has it been since Kangxi?" ”

"You kid, I praised you for your cleverness just now, why are you stupid for a while, the emperor has been on the throne for ten years, and now it is ten years of Kangxi."

Cheng Xiaolian sighed bitterly in his heart, after a thousand calculations, he actually counted himself into the tiger's mouth, if he remembered correctly, at most three years, at least two years, Wu Sangui would rebel, and then there would be a few living people left in the Yunnan governor's mansion, but it would be impossible to say.

Thinking of this, Xiaolian slowly asked, "Uncle Fu, can I go home now?" ”

"You kid, did you take the wrong medicine? When you enter the house, you have a personnel record, do you think this is your thatched house, you can come in if it is convenient, and go out if you don't feel it? If you talk such nonsense like this, don't blame me for not being affectionate. ”

Cheng Xiaolian got up from the ground, and said in his heart that when the time comes, the military affairs will not be safe anywhere, it is better to fight, he knows a little bit of history, and if he can't even mix up the means of signing up within two years, he deserves to be slaughtered.

Thinking of this, he bowed his hand: "Uncle Fu, I lost my temper just now, mainly because our old man is too big, I heard that the bigger the official is, the more like a big tiger, if one day is unhappy, our little lives will be gone." ”

"Fart, Lao Tzu has been in the house for twenty-eight years, isn't his head still hanging around his neck, I don't know where you heard the rumors, quickly forget all the nonsense, learn the rules and wait for the master, do you understand?"

Cheng Xiaolian nodded: "Understood." ”

"Okay, I'll tell you the rules now, our house is a big house, if the subordinates don't have rules, the master will be laughed at by his colleagues, so I'll start teaching you the rules now, you have to study hard, if you don't learn well, hum." I'll give you a long memory. ”

"From tomorrow onwards, you will follow the inside of the room, and cook for the people for the time being, but you also have to remember that no matter what the situation, you must wash your hands and feet before entering the room, this is to let you develop good habits, so as not to cook for the master when the time comes, you will still have dirty hands and feet, and no one can save you when something happens."

Cheng Xiaolian nodded: "I wrote this down." ”

"Tomorrow morning I got up at five o'clock and began to carry water and chop firewood, and the master of the room came to help cook, and I have to remind you that you must not steal food, once people find out, it is light to be half dead. When everyone is full, the rest is your meal, the chef who cooks in the kitchen is the sky, he can do whatever you want, don't say no, I will also say hello to him, don't worry, he won't embarrass you. ”

Cheng Xiaolian glanced at Zhu Fu in embarrassment: "Uncle Fu, look at me like this, isn't it a little difficult to chop wood and carry water?" ”

"It's hard to fart! When I was so old with you, I would have gone up the mountain to chop wood, you thought you were still a seven or eight-year-old doll, when you got here, there were no idlers, if you want others to look up to you, you have to work hard, and then you will have a chance to develop when you get the appreciation from above! ”

Cheng Xiaolian smiled bitterly: "I know, thank you Uncle Fu for your guidance." ”

"Okay, you prepare, start working tomorrow, if you don't do well, I won't let you go!"

Cheng Xiaolian sighed, in this shabby place, there is not even a child labor protection law, he is only thirteen years old, and he has to be abused like this, it is simply inhumane!

Zhu Fu glanced at him: "Boy, I don't look like you have suffered hardship, but since you are here, at least put away the eldest young master's shelf, otherwise you will be the one who will suffer at that time!" ”
