The Prodigal Son’s Happy Life - Chapter 389

[Chapter 389 Negotiation]

In the room.

Qian Zheng gnawed the chicken rack in his hand clean, burped, and put it down after he couldn’t eat any more.

The other four people also have similar looks, including the steward of the Fang Mansion who passed the provincial examination.

You can’t blame them. Anyone who has been hungry for three days and suddenly sees so much food can’t control himself.

People who have never tasted the feeling of hunger have no idea what kind of pain that taste can bring to people.

For a while, at night, their eyes were glowing green. In the dark, people who didn’t know who saw them thought they were wolves.

After eating and drinking, and touching his belly, Liu Dong, the guard of the Fang Mansion who had been whipped by a horse whip, looked at Qian Zheng and asked: “Manager Qian, what should we do next?”

Before Qian Zheng left the Fang Mansion, he had been beaten Appointed as steward of Fang Mansion.

There were two stewards and a dozen guards, but now, only five people are left.

In other words, there were only three guards left. The others were either killed by bandits in order to protect their companions when they were in the Central Plains, or they couldn’t bear hunger on the road and ate some unclean things, and eventually died of illness.

In any case, after going through all kinds of hardships, they finally reached the real boundary of Jiangnan.

“The temperature here is very suitable and the climate is suitable for crop growth. Let’s stay here for a while and see if there are any changes in the sweet potatoes.

If the sweet potatoes are in good condition, we will stay here,” Manager Zhao

Qian Zheng As he spoke, he looked at the middle-aged man beside him who was still chewing chicken bones.

This is the steward of the Fang Mansion who followed them to Jiangnan, and is also the steward Zhao who has the reputation of being a scholar.

He was gnawing on the chicken bones with only a little bit of meat left. When he heard Qian Zheng’s voice, he subconsciously raised his head and asked, “What’s going on?”

These people were all people who had been in the wild together and had eaten rats. , have a life-long friendship.

Those red tapes have long been forgotten.

Even this scholar, at this moment, all the sage books in his mind have turned into chicken, duck and fish meat.

Only Qian

Zheng, an out-and-out farmer who fled the disaster to Fang Mansion, could occasionally learn a few words.

The real reading was during those few days in Fang Mansion, but on the way to Jiangnan, no matter how hard and poor I was, I never forgot to take out the “Three Character Classic” and “The Romance of the Three Kingdoms” to read them.

According to what he said, this is: This book was given to me by the young master. Even if I die, this book and sweet potatoes cannot be thrown away!

Precisely because this book was given to him by the young master, whenever he had free time, he would read these two books.

Especially the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, he has read it twice in just one month.

If you encounter a word you don’t know, ask Manager Liu, who has a reputation as a scholar.

Therefore, during this period of time, he has changed from a peasant who knew nothing and understood nothing to a half-reader.

There is a saying in “The Romance of the Three Kingdoms” that times make heroes.

For Qian Zheng, this sentence couldn’t be more appropriate for him.

After leaving Fang Mansion in the capital and heading to Jiangnan, within just one month, he seemed to be a completely different person.

From being timid and fearful in the past, I have become brave and decisive now.

From being ignorant of a word to having a book of poems,

of course, this book of poems is just a book called “Romance of the Three Kingdoms”.

All in all, because of Fang Xiu’s few words of encouragement and this book “The Romance of the Three Kingdoms”, Qian Zheng is no longer the same Qian Zheng.

“Wait a minute, you will write a letter, and I will pass it to Mr. Tang Hao and ask him to help find someone to send it to the capital.”

Qian Zheng looked at Manager Liu and said.

Manager Liu nodded, and then, with a worried look on his face, he said, “Why did Tang Hao take us in?”

He couldn’t understand this matter at all.

After all, although they are from Fang Mansion, they look like beggars now.

In fact, if it weren’t for the money and their firm belief, they would have been no different from beggars.

What substantial benefits can people like myself bring to the young masters of the three major families in Gusu City?

He is a scholar and the steward of Fang Mansion.

No one knows the world better than him.

A person like Tang Hao can never do something without aim.

Qian Zheng thought for a while and said: “There may not be any benefits in taking us in, but there are no harms either.”

This could only be his explanation.

“We have no other choice but to trust him.”

After a pause, Qian Zheng continued.

After hearing this, Manager Liu nodded and said, “Indeed.”

“You three, don’t let down your guard during this period. We sleep in the same room and take turns keeping watch. Don’t sleep too hard and be ready to leave at any time. Qian

Zheng looked at the other three people and said.

These three people are all guards of the Fang Mansion. They were all veterans who followed An Pingbo in the north and south. They encountered many more things than these two people.

Therefore, even after suffering so much, he still maintained the vigilance he should have.

No matter what time it is, it is the absolute guarantee for the safety of the two of them and Hongshu, and it is also the force that Qian Zheng trusts most.

“The two of us will be on duty overnight. Liu Dong is injured. Let him have a good rest during this period.”

The two guards nodded and then said.

Liu Dong stretched out his hand and punched the person who spoke, and cursed: “I’ve been hungry for too long, and that’s why I got slapped by that bitch.

If I’m full, I won’t drag him down and give him a bad face.” “

It’s swollen.”

“Okay,”

Qian Zheng said, “The five of us take turns to stay on duty. You are all tired during this period. After you have rested, the sweet potato still needs your protection.”

“The sweet potato is not a big deal.”

On the side, Manager Liu said: “Of course, sweet potatoes are also very important, but others don’t know it. They are just treated as weeds. We should be careful

about that Wu family. That young master of the Wu family doesn’t seem to be a good person. I followed him back then. “The young master’s side.”

At this point, he stopped abruptly.

However, the three guards except Qian Zheng understood the second half of the sentence.

The eldest young master of the Wu family is exactly the same as the young master back then.

At that time, they were with the young master, and of course they had a certain understanding of the young master’s thoughts.

Apart from anything else, if the young master encountered such a thing, he would definitely not let it go.

Therefore, the eldest young master of the Wu family would never let him go easily.

Qian Zheng heard this, thought for a while, and said: “We are in Tang Mansion. He will not be able to do anything to us for a while, as long as this family letter is sent to the capital.

After the young master has read it, who is the eldest young master of the Wu family?” It’s not a problem

, so during this period we just need to observe the growth status of the sweet potatoes and protect ourselves.”
