I

The maid Mo Xiang is young, about twenty years old, has a beautiful appearance, and is not yet married.

There was a time when Fei Yinghuan suddenly became interested and wanted to play Red Sleeves and Read at Night. So through Yapo, he bought a girl from Lehu who was good at poetry and calligraphy. She specialized in studying ink, organizing calligraphy, singing poems, and delivering supper. The girl was named Mo Xiang.

Gradually, Master Fei became addicted to it.

Although his wife Lou was jealous, she did not cry or fuss, nor did she beat or scold the maid. Instead, she took a concubine to her husband in a big way.

She is neither a married girl nor a slave and a concubine, but a regular concubine. Send this lowly maid Mo Xiang to a matchmaker, sign a contract with the official, and make her a good concubine!

This matter is insulting to the family tradition and is quite bad in nature.

The old man of the Fei family was furious after hearing the news. He beat Fei Yinghuan violently and ordered him not to have women in his study, so as not to delay his study for the imperial examination due to women's lust.

Mo Xiang, who was in charge of the study, turned into the young lady's maid. In addition to sweeping the courtyard, she also did some errands of delivering messages and welcoming guests.

Obviously, the eldest young lady of the Fei family is not a fuel-efficient lamp.

And Mo Xiang is not simple either. He has served the eldest mistress for many years, but he was not caught and beaten to death!

After bringing the brothers and sisters into the courtyard, Mo Xiang introduced with a smile: "Guanshi Fei's family lives in the main rooms. The eldest young master's servants live in the east wing. There are still three rooms available. You brothers and sisters can choose as you like. one."

Zhao Han did not look at the side room, but carefully observed the main room.

Fei Guanshi is worthy of being a high-level domestic slave. His quality of life is far better than that of a small landowner. The house he lives in is spacious and spacious, and he even has his own main hall.

Zhao Han asked curiously: "Why doesn't Uncle Wei live here?"

Mo Xiang said with a smile: "Master Wei thought the house was too big and he couldn't get used to it, so he insisted on moving out to live in a small house."

Master Wei?

It seems that Wei Jianxiong has a very high status!

The brother and sister quickly visited the three vacant rooms in the east wing, and the furnishings and layouts were exactly the same. Not shabby, not luxurious, the style is more rustic.

Zhao Han pointed casually: "Just this one."

Mo Xiang said: "I will have beds, quilts, towels and basins delivered. You can buy the remaining daily necessities with your own money."

Zhao Han asked: "Where can I eat?"

Mo Xiang replied: "Mrs. Ling will arrange it."

"Who is Mrs. Ling?" Zhao Han was completely confused.

Mo Xiang was still smiling, but her smile was sarcastic: "Mrs. Ling is Guanshi Fei's head wife."

Can a housekeeper's wife be called madam?

Moreover, Mo Xiang deliberately emphasized the importance of his wife, could it be possible that the steward Fei could still take a concubine?

What a hell!

After Mo Xiang left, Zhao Zhenfang finally started to speak.

The little girl ran around the room, spinning in circles with her arms outstretched, jumping up and down and saying, "Second brother, this house is so big! Are we going to live here in the future?"

Zhao Han warned sternly: "We will live here, but the house is not ours. You must not treat this as your own home. When we grow up, my second brother will take you to find your sister."

"Well, I remember," Zhao Zhenfang said, "As long as I can find the eldest sister, I can live in a small house."

Not long after, another servant woman came to help the brother and sister make the bed and fold the quilts. She also left behind daily necessities such as chamber pots, basins, and toothbrushes.

Only toothbrush, no tooth powder.

You need to buy tooth powder yourself, it is a bit expensive. The main ingredient is salt, with Chinese medicine added, high-end products and even spices added, giving you a fresh fragrance when you breathe.

If you don't want to buy tooth powder, just brush your teeth with water.

Free toothbrushes are also a privilege of Zhongqinyuan. Low-level servants outside rarely brush their teeth.

"Bang bang bang bang!"

Zhao Han was cleaning the house when someone suddenly knocked on the door frantically.

When he opened the door, Zhao Han immediately smiled. There were more than a dozen little kids standing outside.

Three servant boys dressed in silk stood side by side at the front. Looking at their arrogant expressions, you knew they were looking for trouble.

The other little kids wore more ordinary clothes, and almost everyone had patches on their clothes.

"My name is Qin Xin, and I specialize in playing the piano for the young master!"

"My name is Jian Dan, and I specialize in serving the eldest young master in sword dancing!"

"My name is Jiupo, and I specialize in serving the young master to drink!"

The three boys announced their families and spoke with great pride. They were selected from among the children of many families.

First of all, they must be handsome, and secondly, they must be smart, and they even have to take regular exams and teach cultural courses.

Among house slaves, they are the best and will be trained intensively in the future.

Obviously, Zhao Han is not the only one who has been cultivated. Whoever develops better in the future can be the butler of the Fei family in Ehu!

Zhao Han suppressed his laughter and felt very uncomfortable. These names were really too middle-of-the-road.

The heart of the piano, the courage of the sword, the soul of the wine...

Are you going to play martial arts or Xianxia here?

Fei Yinghuan likes to show off, and he always names his children so coquettishly.

"Why are you laughing?" Qin Xin asked.

Jian Dan also said: "Don't laugh, be honest!"

Jiu Po ​​threatened: "We have all heard about it. You are the boy picked up by the eldest young master on the road. Don't feel how favored you are. If you dare to disobey, I will beat you to death. Now kneel down and kowtow. Qin Xin is the eldest brother, Jian Gu You are the second brother, and I am the third brother. If you kowtow and acknowledge your brother, you will be your brother from now on. We will protect you even if you are bullied!"

"Kneel down!" Qin Xin and Jian Dan shouted at the same time.

"Kneel down, kneel down!"

More than a dozen little kids behind him shouted together.

Zhao Han found it very interesting and asked with a smile: "How old are you?"

Jiupo seemed to talk the most. Not only did he tell his age, but he also answered for the other two: "Qin Xin is fourteen, Jian Dan is thirteen, and I am thirteen too. How old are you?"

Zhao Han said seriously: "I am sixteen and my sister is fifteen, both of whom are older than you. You three, please kneel down quickly and call me brother and sister!"

The three of them were in a daze. They looked at Zhao Han, who was a head shorter than them, and then at Zhao Zhenfang, who had just started to change her teeth.

How the hell could he be fifteen or sixteen years old?

"you're lying!"

"Nonsense!"

"You must not be older than me!"

The three people reacted very fiercely and seemed to feel that their intelligence was insulted.

Jiupo suddenly shouted: "Hit him!"

More than a dozen little kids immediately pounced on him, and Zhao Han quickly closed the door and fastened the latch.

"Ouch!"

I don't know who it was, but it rushed to the front and was hit by the door panel, causing a nosebleed.

Zhao Zhenfang was a little panicked: "Second brother, there are so many of them."

Zhao Han smiled and said, "I'm not afraid."

Jiupou yelled through the door: "If you are a hero, come out quickly, don't hide in there and be a bastard!"

Zhao Han responded with a smile: "If more than a dozen of you hit me, do you think you are a hero? If you want to talk about heroes, let's fight one on one!"

"Let's fight one on one! Come out quickly." Jian Dan said immediately. He trained with Fei Yinghuan, and occasionally learned a few moves from him, claiming that he was invincible in defeating all the Fei family members.

Zhao Han smiled and said: "You swear!"

Jian Dan immediately shouted: "I swear to fight one on one. If my words don't count, I will fall into the pit and drown."

The vicious oath is a cruel person!

"Open the door quickly, my second brother swore." Jiu Po ​​was still yelling.

Zhao Han asked the little girl to take a few steps back, stood sideways, and then suddenly pulled the door latch.

"Ouch!"

"Don't hold me down!"

"Get up quickly!"

A bunch of brats came crashing through the door, and Jiupou, who spoke the most arrogantly, was suddenly suppressed at the bottom.

After struggling for a long time, the children got up in embarrassment.

Jian Dan was afraid that his clothes would be torn, so he took off his silk coat and solemnly clasped his fists and said, "Please enlighten me!"

Zhao Han also practiced... Military Boxing.

After all, Jian Dan is fourteen years old, a head taller than Zhao Han, and has adequate nutrition all year round, and is much stronger than Zhao Han.

This kid came at him with a fist, and Zhao Han immediately ducked to avoid it, and at the same time punched the opponent directly in the kidneys.

"ah!"

Jian Dan looked in pain, covering his waist with both hands. He was so beaten that he was hunched over and in pain, unable to speak.

Zhao Han took advantage of the victory to pursue, and then struck Jian Dan hard in the stomach with a backhand punch.

"vomit!"

Jian Dan's stomach was churning and he almost vomited out his lunch.

The last blow, a right uppercut, made his face bloom.

Jian Dan was dizzy and fell to the ground.

The scene fell silent instantly, with only Jian Dan's painful groans remaining, and more than a dozen little kids were all frightened.

Zhao Han raised his arm and pointed at Jiupo: "You also want to fight in a duel?"

Jiu Po ​​immediately said: "Jun...a gentleman talks but never moves his hands!"

Qin Xin quickly helped: "Yes, a gentleman talks but doesn't use his hands. It's insulting to be polite to hit someone like this!"

He is worthy of being a servant boy who can lift people. He also knows what it means to be rude and polite. He must have read a few books by sages.

Zhao Han began to pull the big flag into a tiger skin, held his head high and said: "My martial arts was taught by Master Wei himself. If anyone is dissatisfied, you can challenge me at any time!"

Master Wei's apprentice?

The children began to be in a daze again, feeling as if they had kicked an iron plate.

Jiupo seemed to have learned how to change his face in Sichuan Opera. He suddenly had a flattering smile on his face, and his body became three points shorter: "We are all brothers, we don't know each other if we don't fight..."

"Shut up!"

Zhao Han interrupted sharply: "Since we are brothers, we should distinguish between elder and younger. Who is the elder brother and who is the younger brother?"

All the children looked at each other in astonishment.

Zhao Han raised his fist: "The one with the bigger fist is the elder brother, why don't you kneel down and call me elder brother!"

No one answered, and no one could wipe their faces.

Zhao Han suddenly grabbed the lapel of Jiu Po's clothes and asked: "Kneel down or not?"

"kneel!"

Jiupo quickly knelt down, thinking that if a good man doesn't suffer the loss in front of him, the humiliation he suffered today will be repaid tenfold in the future. Immediately he kowtowed and shouted: "Jiu Po ​​pays homage to my brother."

Zhao Han pointed at the younger sister again: "I still want to worship my elder sister."

Jiu Po's face was flushed with embarrassment, he clenched his fists and shouted bravely: "Greetings, sister."

Zhao Zhenfang was a little scared: "Stand... stand up and say."

Zhao Han asked Qin Xin again: "What about you?"

Qin Xin gritted her teeth and said, "I won't even kneel down even if I beat you to death!"

Zhao Han immediately prepared to fight.

"Brother!" Qin Xin knelt down with a bang.

After convincing people with his reasoning, more than a dozen children were sincerely convinced, and one after another they knelt down to worship their elder brother and eldest sister.

Zhao Zhenfang, who was only six years old, suddenly had more than a dozen stinky younger brothers.

Jian Dan, whose mouth was broken, was still a little dizzy and asked cautiously: "Brother, can we leave?"

"Not urgent."

Zhao Han took the baggage, took out ten taels of silver, and stuffed it into Jian Dan's hand: "Brothers, if we don't fight today, we won't get to know each other. Since I have accepted everyone's kneeling and worshiped me and become your brother, I should express my gratitude. Especially. It’s brother Jian Dan. The corner of his mouth is scratched. Let’s use the money to buy some food to make up for it. As for the remaining money, let’s share it with the brothers for tea.”

"Brother is generous!"

A group of little kids were immediately overjoyed.

Although Qin Xin, Jian Gu and Jiu Po ​​can wear silk, they don't have much money at all.

The silk clothes were work clothes that Fei Yinghuan bought for his close servants in order to show off.

Even if they receive occasional rewards, they must be handed over to their parents. Their parents are also Fei's servants.

Ten taels of silver, even if divided equally among ten people, is still a huge sum of money to them.

The humiliation of being forced to kneel down was gone in an instant, and everyone was happily shouting about sharing the money.

In the end, Qin Xin, Jian Guan and Jiu Po ​​each got two taels, and the rest was divided among the other children.

The children were instantly divided. The other children felt it was unfair and thought Qin, Jian, and Jiu were too stingy.

My new brother has agreed to share the money with everyone.

Why did you three take six taels out of ten taels of silver?

Jian Dan was also a little unhappy, thinking that since the corner of his mouth was broken, he should get more. Qin Xin and Jiu Po ​​should not be the same as him.
