I

Zhao Han was walking by the river when he saw a porter carrying a load to board the boat.

The second shopkeeper, who was wearing silk clothes, bowed his hands to the merchants on the ship and said, "I'm here on behalf of the Chimelong to pray for the winter. I wish your master a wealth of money, and I wish Brother Liu good luck and fortune."

"Treasurer Fei has a heart, a small gift is not a respect." The merchant immediately returned the gift.

Even the porters who carry the burdens have a reward for everyone.

After crossing the pier and arriving at the town street, Zhao Han had to admit that Jiangnan was generally very wealthy.

A deformed richness.

There are many people who come and go, some are landless black households, some are slaves of big clans, and their lives are not bad.At least, it looks good on the surface, and it is impossible for them to rebel.

Unless there are major disasters in successive years, the court will raise taxes again!

Prices had risen a bit, and Pang Chunlai didn't give enough money, so Zhao Han and Fei Ruhe paid to make up for it.After buying a few catties of glutinous rice flour, a catty of meat pig, two carp, a big rooster, and some preserved fruits and vegetables, I happily returned to Hanzhu Mountain.

Fei Ruhe was very excited. He had never personally bought vegetables before, and everything he saw in the market felt fresh.

On the way back, I also met some Baidong farmers.

No matter how poor these farmers are, they have to wear their best clothes and go to visit relatives and friends with "winter solstice trays".

It's possible that in their box, it's just a bowl of brown rice.

"Master, that's our family's sedan chair!" Fei Chun suddenly pointed into the distance.

"Really!" Fei Ruhe hurriedly took the big cock to catch up.

Fei Yinghuan's wife Lou was sitting in a sedan chair, heading straight for Hanzhu Academy.

The queue was very long, and there were two other sedan chairs sitting on Fei Yinghuan's daughter.

There are more than a dozen porters, carrying burdens along the way, all of which are gifts for teachers and classmates.

"Mother, mother, wait for me!" Fei Ruhe ran happily.

Before Lou could hear it, the little girl on the sedan shouted, "It's brother, brother is behind!"

Lou hurriedly greeted the sedan chair and looked at his son happily.

Fei Yinghuan has two daughters. The eldest daughter is named Fei Rulan. She is 13 years old and has already been betrothed.The second daughter's name is Fei Rumei, she is seven years old this year, and Zhao Zhenfang is impressively following her at the moment.

I had two before, one miscarried and one died.

Zhao Zhenfang stood beside the second young lady, wearing brand new clothes, looking at the second brother from a distance and smirking.

"Mother, big sister, little sister, why are you here?" Fei Ruhe asked.

Lou stroked the top of his son's head, smiled and said, "Your father sent someone to report that he will not go back this winter solstice, and he is going to retreat and study in the academy. He also said that you have also made progress. Don't worry, I'll take your sister to see it."

"That mother is also celebrating the festival at the academy?" Fei Ruhe asked.

Lou said with a smile, "I will rush back in the afternoon, and I will celebrate winter at home tomorrow."

Fei Chun had the most things in his hand, and finally caught up with Zhao Han.

Fei Chun said eloquently, "Chun'er prays for Mother, Sister Lan, and Sister Mei!"

Zhao Han only put down the pork in his hand, and said with a bow: "I see the young lady, I have seen the eldest lady, I have seen the second lady."

Xu Ying hurriedly followed her: "Winter for Madam, and winter for the two young ladies!"

Lou was very happy and praised: "They are all good children."

Yingchun immediately came to give money, not as a reward, but as a happy money for the Winter Solstice.

Xu Ying was planning to resign, but was kicked by Zhao Han. After receiving the money, she thanked her again.

The team set off again.

Zhao Han walked over to Zhao Zhenfang and whispered, "Little sister, how are you doing these days?"

Zhao Zhenfang said happily: "It's very good, Madam and Miss, as well as the mother-in-law and sisters in the inner courtyard, all treat me very well."

Zhao Zhenfang is now the second lady's playmate. As long as the maids in the inner court are not stupid, they will never dare to treat them harshly.

Zhao Han asked again, "How many teeth have you replaced?"

"After the second brother left, only one fell out." Zhao Zhenfang sneered openly.

"I'm changing my teeth too."

Second Miss Fei Rumei spoke suddenly, and deliberately opened her mouth to show Zhao Han clearly.

Zhao Han casually flattered: "Second Miss's teeth are well-groomed, neat and clean."

Fei Rumei looked at Zhao Han curiously: "Are you Chunfang's brother? Chunfang often tells stories, saying that you were very good in Tianjin, and that you beat out a lot of bad guys."

"Second brother, my name is Chunfang now." Zhao Zhenfang was a little uneasy, afraid of being scolded after changing her name.

Chunfang?

What a cheesy name.

But it doesn't matter, I will change my name back to my original name when I grow up.

Zhao Han smiled and said, "Chunfang sounds pretty nice."

"Hey, Chunfang's brother," Fei Rumei began to speak again, "you're also a child, so aren't you afraid of adults? How dare you drive the bad guys away?"

Zhao Han replied: "Bad people bully my sister, of course I want to drive them away."

"Then you're so nice," Fei Rumei said with a pouted mouth, "my brother is not good, he only knows how to make fun of me. He even scare me with a caterpillar last time I came home."

Zhao Han said, "I'll help you beat him."

"Really?" Fei Rumei's eyes widened, "But you are his book boy, how could the book boy beat the young master?"

Zhao Han said, "If he dares to bully you, I will definitely beat him."

Fei Rumei clapped her hands happily: "Well then, don't lie."

"Don't lie." Zhao Han said.

Zhao Zhenfang said proudly, "My second brother is amazing."

Fei Rumei sat on the sedan chair and stretched out her arm: "It's not just talking, let's pull the hook."

Coax children, it's easy to get hold of.

After the two finished pulling the hook, Fei Rumei suddenly shouted: "Brother, you must not bully me again, or your book boy will beat you!"

Zhao Han was speechless, just pretended not to hear.

Including Lou, they all looked for sound.

Fei Ruhe raised his fist and said, "He can't beat me, he only knows how to run away."

Fei Rumei said, "Chunfang's older brother is very powerful. He has driven away many bad people in Tianjin!"

"I'll beat the bad guys too!" Fei Ruhe was not to be outdone.

Zhao Han felt very helpless. He transmigrated into a little brat and could only deal with a group of brats.

Chapter 042 [Good cabbage can't bear pig arch]

Zhao Han took the purchased ingredients and sent them to the thatched cottage at the foot of the mountain to be handled by Xu Ying's parents.

After greeting Pang Chunlai, he followed Lou to the academy.

After all, his real identity is a book boy, the students are only part-timers, and the master must be served when he comes.

Lou's mother and daughter all went up the mountain in a sedan chair, and Zhao Zhenfang followed them on foot.

Zhao Han said distressedly, "Little sister, are you tired?"

"I'm not tired," Zhao Zhenfang said with a happy mood at the moment, "I've had enough to eat every meal, but I'm more energetic than in Tianjin. I've been living in the inner hospital before, but today I can go out to climb the mountain, and I met my second brother to accompany me. I am overjoyed.”

"It's fine if you're not tired." Zhao Han also laughed.

Climbing all the way to the middle of the mountain, and finally came to Hanzhu Academy.

Fei Ruhe left his mother behind, ran quickly, went to the courtyard where his father was studying, and shouted, "Father, father, mother!"

When everyone came to a courtyard, Fei Yinghuan heard the news and came out to greet him, as well as several scholars such as Hu Mengtai and Zhan Zhaoheng.

Lou went to distribute gifts and help her husband make good friends with all the classmates.

Miss Fei Rulan and Fei Rumei, who had never been to the academy before, looked around curiously.

Taking this opportunity, Zhao Zhenfang pulled her brother aside, suppressed her excitement, and whispered, "Second brother, I can make money too."

"Little sister is amazing!" Zhao Han praised.

Zhao Zhenfang took out a string of copper coins from her bosom and stuffed it into Zhao Han's hand: "I heard that I'm coming to the academy, so I brought the money. Second brother, you can use it."

There are more than 800 copper coins, all of which are wages and rewards, and the winter solstice money has not been given yet.

The top servant of Fei Yinghuan's family had a monthly salary of two taels of silver, and he held a management position.

The maids in the inner courtyard earn a monthly salary of about one or two.

As a playmate of the young lady, Zhao Zhenfang is paid 600 yuan a month for food and clothing.

The servants at the bottom are not good enough, not only are the wages very low, but they are often deducted by the stewards.Some domestic slaves lived a miserable life, but they did not resent their masters, but only those who were in charge.

Of course, it also depends on which one.

It is also the Fei family of Goose Lake, and Fei Yinghuan's second brother is harsh.The hostess is very stingy. The salary of the slaves is cut in half, and she is often beaten and abused. Some time ago, she accidentally beat one to death, and only lied that she was sick and buried it quietly.

"Don't you usually need money?" Zhao Han asked.

Zhao Zhenfang smiled and said, "No, I have everything to eat and wear. The young lady is very kind to me." After that, she rolled up her left sleeve and showed the silver chain on her wrist, "This is from the second lady, she has A few new ones, the old ones are not needed."

"Okay, second brother will help you save it. You can take it when you need it." Zhao Han stuffed the copper coin into his pocket.

Eldest Miss Fei Rulan walked around the courtyard a few times and couldn't help but say, "Mother, can I go shopping elsewhere in the academy?"

Lou loved her daughter very much, and immediately called Fei Ruhe: "Take your sister to walk around."

"I'm going too!" Fei Rumei shouted quickly.

Lou said with a smile: "All go, all go."

Since Fei Ruhe was leading the way, Zhao Han and Fei Chun, as book boys, naturally had to follow along.

The eldest Miss Fei Rulan, the maid Xiyue; the second Miss Fei Rumei, the maid Chunfang... uh, it's Zhao Zhenfang.Everyone went out of the courtyard together, Fei Ruhe excitedly cleared the way, and ran far and wide by himself.

Watching the children leave, Mrs Lou suddenly asked, "I heard that the one from Lilie Nvfang also lives in the academy?"

Fei Yinghuan nodded and said, "We're about to move down the mountain."

Lou said, "It's too pitiful for orphans and widows. Give them a winter solstice plate."

Wei Jianxiong, who had been silent for a while, suddenly popped out: "I'll send it off, I know where they live."

Lou sorted out a gift, handed it to Wei Jianxiong and said, "That's all."

Wei Jianxiong picked it up and ran, the whole person was overjoyed.

"What's wrong with him?" Lou didn't understand.

Fei Yinghuan smiled and said, "I don't know, these days are very strange anyway."

After a while, Mrs. Chen brought Fei Yuanjian over to thank Mrs. Lou for the winter solstice gift, and Wei Jianxiong followed with a happy face.

From the looks of it, the relationship appears to be progressing.

The strong girl is afraid of entanglement with her husband. No matter how scheming Chen is, she is also a woman with empty feelings, not to mention that they have known each other since childhood.

Lou and Chen, two women, had a conversation.

The atmosphere was very harmonious, and we even made an appointment to worship Buddha together a few years ago.

After Mrs Chen left, Mrs Lou smiled and said, "This little auntie is also very smart."

Fei Yinghuan's focus was different, and she muttered to herself: "Old Wei is very wrong, even if he has an affair with the Chen family, don't make it so obvious. If you have time, I have to remind him. Quietly, without being aware of ghosts and spirits, it can last for a long time."

Young Master Fei's thinking is still so cunning.

When he noticed that the monk slave had an affair with the elder of the same clan, his first reaction was not to block, but to complain about the slave's cheating skills, and he planned to remind the other party to act cautiously.

Lou resisted the urge to roll his eyes and didn't bother to say a word of nonsense, obviously he was used to it.

Suddenly, Fei Yinghuan clapped her hands: "Forgot to tell Madam, Brother Han has a new way. Putting two decks of cards together is called mahjong, go into the room and explain in detail!"
