Chapter 8271 The Young Master
Yunjiazhuang.
Looking at Zhuangzi stretching for miles in front of him, Luo Xingchen was slightly surprised.
“Sir, the exterior wall of Yunjiazhuang looks very old, it doesn’t look like it was built in the past ten years.”
Mo Anbai was looking carefully at the outer wall of Yunjiazhuang.
Outside Yunjiazhuang, there is an extremely long wall.
The fence is made of bricks and stones.
What is strange is not the construction material of the wall, but the height of the wall.
The wall is five meters high. Although it does not meet the standards of those big city walls, it is extremely difficult to have such a five-meter-high wall that stretches for several miles here.
"Maybe it was left over from the past. Yunjiazhuang was built using this wall." Luo Xingchen guessed.
"Who is it?"
As Luo Xingchen and Mo Anbai approached, a man holding a spear walked quickly in front of the door, with the spear in his hand lying in front of him.
Luo Xingchen did not speak, but took out an iron sign.
"It turns out that I am a guest. I am rude and disrespectful."
The man with the spear hurriedly saluted.
"Master Yunzhen, send us back to get something. It's your benefit to lead the way."
Luo Xingchen said lightly.
The man with the spear was ready to refuse. He was a gatekeeper, not a guide.
However, when he saw the ingot of silver in Luo Xingchen's hand, he immediately changed his mind.
Goalkeeping, you can substitute someone else, but you must not miss the opportunity to make money.
"Take this tael of silver, I'll reward you with it."
"Thank you, sir, for the reward. Sir, let's go this way."
The man with the spear quickly hid the silver in his arms.
One tael of silver is enough for the whole family to have a big meal. This is a lot of wealth.
For the rich, it is a drop in the bucket, but for ordinary people, it is pretty good.
"What's your name? I didn't see you last time I came to the manor."
Luo Xingchen said.
“To my lord, the younger one’s name is Han Niu San, and he was just sent to look after the door recently.”
Han Niu San made arrangements and handed the spear to the others.
The job of guarding the gate is usually just a decoration, but you can get a small amount of money, and the successor is willing to take over early.
Follow Han Niu San into the manor.
Luo Xingchen's performance was very bland, and it was not obvious that this was his first time entering the manor.
However, Luo Xingchen was still slightly surprised.
The outside of this manor was blocked by a five-meter-high city wall, and there was nothing special about it. After entering, I discovered that it turned out that the inside was like a small county town, quite prosperous. .
“Why is it so lively today?”
Luo Xingchen said slowly.
"Sir, you may not know that today is a great day for the third master to take in a concubine and the seventh concubine. People from all over the country come to Zhuangzi to go to the market, and some squires come to give gifts." Han Niu San smiled.
"It's just a concubine, not a wife. Why is he so covered? Does his wife like it?"
Luo Xingchen frowned.
"What can I do if I don't like it? I heard that something happened at the third master's wife's house, and she can't control him anymore."
Han Niu San had a strange smile on his face, with a hint of schadenfreude. "Where is the third master's wife's natal family from?" Luo Xingchen asked.
"My lord, you don't know? The third master and his wife are from the Lin Zewei family. Although they are from a collateral line, they are still very impressive." Han Niu said three times.
Luo Xingchen was a little surprised. This Han Niu San was quite well-informed. It looked like he was quite famous.
"The Linze Wei family, I know, is the most powerful family in Linze City, but something happened a while ago. It is said that they offended the imperial court and were destroyed by the imperial court." Luo Xingchen said lightly.
"Yes, the Wei family is very powerful. In the eyes of us ordinary people, it is like a mountain. But no matter how big the Wei family is, they can still be bigger than the imperial court!"
"If you offend the imperial court, that is Rebellious thieves, shouldn’t they be destroyed?”
“The third master and his wife have lost their natal family. As a supporter, these days, I have been hiding in the Buddhist hall, eating fast and chanting Buddha, and dare not go out. How can I control the third master’s concubine?”
“I heard that the third master has divorced his wife and married another. What’s on my mind?”
Han Niu San is a chatterer who keeps talking.
"This man is quite cruel." Mo Anbai said with some dissatisfaction.
"Yes, the third master is cruel. If it weren't for the fact that his wife gave birth to children for him and the eldest son was also the daughter of his wife, maybe he would have been divorced." Han Niu said three times.
"How do you know this?" Luo Xingchen asked.
"I heard it from the second aunt of my third uncle's eldest nephew. In fact, everyone in Yunjiazhuang knows these things," said Han Niu San.
Luo Xingchen finally understood that it was not Han Niu San’s problem, but the people in Yunjiazhuang. Everyone likes to gossip. If there is any trouble in the master’s family, it will be spread everywhere in an instant. .
After walking for a while, Han Niu San talked about many things, and Luo Xingchen also had a preliminary understanding of Yunjiazhuang.
While approaching a yard, suddenly a fast horse galloped in front of me.
People on both sides of the road took cover one after another.
But not far away, there was a little girl, and there was no time to escape.
Suddenly, a girl in a dark dress flew forward.
One palm slapped the horse, and a white line flew out of the other hand, encircling the little girl, dragging her small body and falling backwards.
Kuaima received the blow and tilted his body to the side. At the same time, Luo Xingchen kicked a brick lying flat on the ground.
The bricks flew over and hit the horse's legs.
The horse's body fell to the ground, neighing and trying to get up, but it never struggled to get up.
“Mom, I’m afraid!”
At this time, the little girl, about six or seven years old, grinned and cried.
“Baby, don’t cry, don’t cry, mother is here.”
The nearby woman stepped forward, hugged the little girl tightly, and expressed gratitude towards Mo Anbai and Luo Xingchen He lowered his head and whispered to comfort the little girl.
There were many people around, watching from a distance, but they did not dare to speak. The scene was eerily quiet for a moment, except for the painful neighing of the horses.
“Who is it? Smashed my young master’s horse?”
The sound of horse hoofbeats was heard, and not far away, three horses galloped towards them.
When they stopped, the man sitting on the white horse in the front had a fierce look on his face, holding a whip in his hand, waving it in the air, making a crackling sound.
This is Yunjiazhuang. The people in Zhuangzi are either nearby people or people from Yunjiazhuang. Under the man's question, someone jumped out and pointed at Luo Xingchen. Mo Anbai said: "They did it."
Anyway, Luo Xingchen and Mo Anbai are unfamiliar faces, they must be from outside Zhuangzi.
In this case, he must choose to please his legitimate young master Yun Huan.
"Did you smash my young master's horse? Come with me."
Yun Huan sneered, and the whip in his hand was already raised high.
As soon as he finished speaking, the Keqing warriors on the two horses behind him dismounted, drew their weapons, and stood on the left and right.
