The person guarding the entrance to Mengjiazhuang Village pushed open the door covered with iron spikes and let Su Qi and Gu Beiheng's carriage in.
Someone greeted with a smile: "Madam Gu, you were so impressive with those sticks just now."
"Next time you meet these people who are full of shit, just beat them to death. You won't be held responsible even if they kill them." Su Qi opened the curtain and warned the patrolmen.
Her two fierce eyes swept over the people gathered outside the defense line.
There was resentment and timidity in those people's eyes.
"Okay. We will do as Madam Gu tells us to do. We will be responsible for it ourselves." A young man from Mengjia Village replied with a smile.
"Yes, I'm responsible for myself."
Now the people in Mengjiazhuang have food and drink, what a wonderful life.
This is life from birth till now.
I used to be on the brink of death.
In their minds, rich people are probably not much better than them.
Su Qi and Gu Beiheng's carriage passed the north, and it was pitch black.
Everyone went to bed.
There was only a light on the second floor of the Gu family courtyard in the south, which was like a guiding light illuminating the way home in the dark night.
That was the light Su Qi left for them to shadow in the woods.
Let them not forget the way home no matter what.
When the gatekeeper saw the carriage coming, he hurried out to take a look.
Seeing the little red horse trotting towards him happily, he put on a thick robe and opened the door.
"Master, Madam. Today, the two young masters have been waiting for you at the gatehouse for a long time. In the end, Master Zhou Dashan coaxed them for a long time before they went back to sleep."
The servant picked up the stool from the carriage and put it on the ground, letting Su Qi step down on the stool.
"Feed the horses some water and fine fodder," Su Qi instructed. "First, arrange for these people to stay, and ask the kitchen guard to make some food for them. Tomorrow, have Xiao Liuzi assign them tasks."
Su Qi gave the order and walked straight in.
After a busy day, I just want to occupy the big bed and sleep soundly.
Gu Beiheng just nodded to the six people and went in.
The servant touched his head and chuckled.
He fanned his nose with his hand and said with a pout:
"My goodness, this smell is so strong that it can make people go crazy. How many days have you not taken a bath? Don't do this again in the future. You will offend the lady and the ladies in the mansion."
Han Dazhuang and a few others were very nervous.
He grinned and said ingratiatingly:
"Hasn't it been a month since I last showered? I can't go down to the river in this weather."
"Brother, we just need to wash up. Don't prepare anything to eat, it's too troublesome. I just gave each of us a steamed bun to fill our stomachs."
As Mao Xiaodao was speaking, his stomach rumbled at the right moment.
Someone nearby also let out a long roar.
The servant laughed and scolded:
"Don't worry. We in the Gu Mansion are not the kind of people who wait to be skinned and treated harshly. If the master and the mistress ask about it later and find out that I didn't give you any food, wouldn't I be waiting to be scolded?"
After a pause, the servant continued:
"Everyone on night patrol needs to eat twice. We don't mind the trouble, so you should be more efficient in your work. The most important thing is to be loyal to the Lord."
As the servant spoke, he led a few people toward a row of low houses on the north side of the next courtyard. He stopped in the middle and said, "The beds here are bunk beds, perfect for six people to a room. Over there are the shared washrooms and toilets."
"Come with me to get a change of clothes and sanitary products."
Han Dazhuang and a few others felt dizzy and felt like they were dreaming.
Are there any spare clothes and sanitary products?
What are sanitary products?
Han Dazhuang received confused looks from his companions and deliberately cleared his throat. "Hey, what are sanitary products?"
The servant rolled his eyes, a bunch of country bumpkins.
"Tooth powder for cleaning teeth, towels and soap nuts for bathing, etc. You have to be clean here. Clean your teeth, wash your face and feet every morning and night."
Speaking of this.
He fanned the sour smell out of the air again. "You have to shower and wash your hair every two or three days. You can't let the stench kill you."
The servant had memorized the rules of personal hygiene by heart, so that he could look good in front of the newcomers.
Han Dazhuang and his friends were like Granny Liu entering the Grand View Garden. They had never paid so much attention to hygiene.
In spring, summer and autumn, they jump directly into the river.
In winter, we only wash our heads with a few basins of warm water at home. Why would we need to use soap nuts to scrub?
Isn't that what women do?
but.
A few people secretly complained but didn't dare to ask, for fear of being kicked out.
The six people came to the bathroom, where Su Qi had someone write the name Huaqing Pool.
When I went in, I saw a huge pool.
The room was warm and even the water was steaming.
Is this place just for taking a shower?
They can all settle down.
Several people looked at the black dust on their bodies, and then looked at the clear water in the pool.
(?ω?*)
"Da Zhuang, the water will be dark if we go in." Mao Xiaodao lifted his sleeves and glanced with disdain at his arms, whose original color could no longer be seen.
Han Dazhuang nodded: "Give me a brush and write."
"This water is cleaner than the water I drank this morning."
"Damn it, it's worth dying here."
"Let's die tomorrow. There will be food later. My dead dad said that I should die well-fed, otherwise I won't have anything to eat in my next life." Li Xiaoshan summarized his advice.
The other five people looked at him with contempt.
cut.
Who would be willing to die on such a beautiful day?
Have you helped the master with anything?
The six people hesitated for a while, but finally jumped into the pool and had a happy bath.
The servant went to the kitchen and asked the maid on duty to make something to eat.
The woman agreed, saying that there was some meat and vegetables left over from the evening meal. She would make a dozen or so wraps and just wrap them around the heated meat and vegetables.
The servant didn't care about all this. He said, "You'll take care of the arrangements," and came over to lead Han Dazhuang and the others to the kitchen.
In the kitchen.
The patrol team had just changed shifts and came over as well.
A dozen people watched Han Dazhuang and his six companions eat.
Each person was given a big round roll, and the meat and vegetables were rolled up inside, and then given to Han Dazhuang and the others.
Good job.
Six people entered the kitchen, drooling.
Can't hold it.
Everyone took the burrito and started to eat it.
Each person ate two and licked their fingers clean with smacking their lips.
The old woman kept her mouth shut. "Are you full?"
Han Dazhuang smiled and said, "That's it. Go back to sleep and eat tomorrow."
"No. Mrs. Zhang is cooking noodles. Put two more pounds of noodles in. We can't go hungry." The people in the patrol team stopped them with a smile.
Since all meals are provided by the Gu family, every family in the village only needs to provide food.
Their food standards have never been lowered.
Everyone in the patrol team knew that the Gu family had contributed a lot.
I was only thinking about having enough food to eat, so I had to pay attention to any suspicious places.
You must listen to the Gu family in everything.
Mrs. Zhang smiled and agreed, "Okay, I'll put two more pounds of noodles in. You guys just arrived and don't know the rules. We never cut back on food in our house.
You just need to do your job well. Don't follow the example of those whose consciences have been eaten away by worms and betray their masters."
Year of famine.
Betraying one's master may lead to great chaos.
Mrs. Zhang has lived for sixty years and knows everything about it.
Han Dazhuang and others agreed without hesitation.
Their uneasy hearts finally settled down.
It seems that the bet was right.
What a good master to follow.
At the foot of Hulu Mountain.
Su Tianze's carriage still attracted the attention of the men in black who were following them. This time, the man whose sleeve Niu Xibei had pulled to wipe his nose was not there.
Niu Xibei’s moves are no longer effective.
A dozen men in black surrounded the carriage, holding swords in their hands and staring at it fiercely.
"Young man, are you the one who saved the daughter of Magistrate Lou?" The leading man in black had a cold murderous intent in his narrow eyes, and his gaze fell gloomily on Su Tianze.
Su Tianze clasped his fists and said loudly:
"I don't know who you're talking about. I'm just traveling from the capital to Yun County with my younger brother to visit relatives."
