When Pei Yue returned to the main hall, Taohua was sitting on the small stool in the corridor with her chin in her hands. When she saw him coming in, she quickly got up and said, "Master, you didn't take a nap today."

Pei Yue stretched out his hand to rub her hair and said with a smile: "Now that I am in good health, I no longer need to take a nap every day. Do you think my muscles are getting stronger?"

As he spoke, he raised his right arm to pose like a bodybuilder.

Taohua seemed to like his intimate act of messing up her hair. The depression deep in her eyes disappeared without a trace in an instant. Her eyes were bright and joyful. She reached out and pinched Pei Yue's arm twice, her eyes were like crescent moons.

General smiled and said: "It's true. When the young master inserted the dagger into that man's arm today, I was still thinking about how strong you were."

Pei Yue laughed and said, "Aren't you afraid?"

Taohua said honestly: "I'm not afraid! Those people always bully us. I used to think that when the young master grows up, he will definitely beat them back. I didn't expect this day to come so quickly."

In fact, she also wanted to say that the young master had changed so much that it surprised her.

In the past, the two little people depended on each other in the Duke's Mansion. Although they were trapped in a small courtyard, they only had each other at that time, so the young master was not like the young master and the maid was not like the maid. It seemed that there was no

The rules are actually intimate. Now that Pei Yue has left the Duke's mansion, the excellent character he has gradually shown has attracted more and more attention. Not to mention the girl from the Shen family whose name has only been seen but not her person.

The sudden appearance of Miss Gu's family today made Taohua feel inferior and disappointed. In the past, she was lively and cheerful, and she was particularly obedient in front of Gu Zhen, refusing to make any mistakes.

Pei Yue suddenly held her hand, walked into the house together, and said with a smile: "Maybe there will be fewer and fewer people who can bully us in the future, and you might still be a little bored by then."

Taohua felt her head buzzing, and her right hand held by Pei Yue was as hot as a fire. She felt as if she was drunk, and her cheeks were flushed and bright.

Joy instantly filled her heart to the brim, and there was only one thought in her mind: The young master was not in a better situation now, and he knew those big shots, and was favored by some military aircraft, and the people he socialized with were all talented girls like Miss Shen's Gu family,

It's great to just leave this little girl like me aside.

As for what the young master said, it is no longer that important at this moment.

Pei Yue sighed calmly. The girl next to him was only fourteen years old. She was thinking about these things all day long. Isn't it too early?

In fact, he had already noticed that Taohua was acting abnormally in front of Gu Zhen. If he thought about it carefully, he would understand why. However, he reminded her about Shen Danmo last time, so the little girl didn't dare to ask. However, there was a look in her eyes.

How can you hide your inferiority complex from him?

After unraveling the peach blossoms, Pei Yue asked with a smile: "How did you get along with the Gu family today?"

Taohua's head was still a little dizzy and her right hand was still feeling hot. After hearing this, she replied softly: "Those people are very nice, very kind, and they talk nicely. By the way, young master, someone is here to see Cheng Zhuangtou today."

Pei Yue was slightly startled and asked, "Cheng Guang?"

Taohua nodded, and then told the story about the woman.

"Cheng Guang's relative?" After listening to Tao Hua's story, Pei Yue frowned slightly and tapped his fingers on the armrest of the chair.

"Yes, Master, is there any problem?" Taohua asked confusedly.

Pei Yue came to his senses, shook his head and said, "Nothing, go to the back and get a hundred taels of silver notes."

Taohua responded and walked quickly towards the backyard.

Before she could come back, eight young men came to the main house, led by Deng Zai and Wang Yong.

Looking at half of Wang Yong's face wrapped in gauze, Pei Yue stood up and said, "I was about to go over to see you. Is the injury on his face still serious?"

Wang Yong's eyes were red and his lips were moving. He wanted to say something but didn't know how to say it, so he knelt down and kowtowed to Pei Yue very excitedly and said in a trembling voice: "Master, I'm young..."

But the rest of the words cannot be said.

Pei Yue said angrily: "Why are you kneeling? Get up! And I have told you a long time ago that you don't need to call yourself young when there is no one around. I have never treated you as slaves, so why should you do this?"

However, Wang Yong, who is usually the most well-behaved person, refused to get up.

Deng Zai explained from the side: "Young Master, the injury on Wang Yong's face is not serious. The medicine given by Mr. Gu was very good. After seeing it, the doctor said that no bones were injured, and the medicine was used to treat the problem in time, although it will not be avoided in the future.

There will be no scars, but there will be no hidden dangers. After Wang Yong heard what the young master did for him, he must come and kowtow to the young master to thank him. We knew that the young master had guests today, and we wanted to persuade him to come back another day, but we couldn't persuade him no matter what.

.”

Pei Yue sighed softly when he heard this. Looking at Wang Yong who was trembling slightly, his tone was much gentler: "Get up. Since you are doing things for me, I will protect you no matter what."

Wang Yong wiped the tears from his eyes and summoned up the courage to say: "Master, young man... I can't do much, and I am a bit stupid, but I never forget the word kindness. Please accept me as your servant, from now on."

From now on, I will do my best to serve the young master. If there is any irregularity, I will be struck by lightning from the sky and die badly!"

Deng Zai and others looked at each other with determination in their eyes. They knelt down beside Wang Yong and said loudly: "I am willing to die for the young master!"

Taohua, who had taken the banknote, saw this scene as soon as she came in. She quickly realized what was going on and looked at Pei Yue with pride and pride that she couldn't hide.

Pei Yue did not shirk anything this time. He looked at the eight resolute-looking young men and said solemnly: "You should know that I don't care about my status as a servant, but if you plan to work with me in this life,

Then there is no room for any perfunctory actions. In the future, when you leave this village and go out to explore, you may have to face many dangers, but by then you will not have a chance to regret it, do you understand?"

The teenagers said in unison: "I won't regret it. Please take me in, Master!"

Pei Yue nodded with satisfaction and said: "Okay, from now on you can follow me and get up."

The teenagers stood up with joyful faces, and Wang Yong even laughed and cried, looking a bit funny.

Pei Yuechong waved to Taohua, took the one hundred taels of silver notes from her hand, and said to Wang Yong: "Take these silvers, take good care of yourself during this period, and then come and help me when you are healed."

Now that the status of subordinates has been confirmed, Wang Yong did not refuse. After taking the banknote, he said respectfully: "Master, my little injury doesn't matter. I can do things now."

Pei Yue shook his head and smiled: "Just take good care of your injuries and don't talk nonsense."

Wang Yong straightened his back and said loudly: "Yes!"

Pei Yue said to Deng Zai again: "Take them and count how many farmers followed me to the fields today, and then take the two hundred taels of silver and divide it according to each household. You decide how to divide it. I have said before that as long as

If you listen to me and work hard, you will be rewarded. They performed quite well this time, and the money that the boy from the Li family sent was also due to their efforts."

Deng Zai said seriously: "Yes, young master."

Pei Yue said in a deep voice: "Come over tomorrow morning and help me deliver a letter to Kyoto. Then go to Taiping Bank to exchange the banknotes into loose silver. There is one more thing. I will tell you then."

"Yes, I have written it down." Deng Zai said without arrogance or impatience.

Pei Yue nodded, and then said to Qi Min next to him: "During the chaos this morning, several farmers escaped. Find them and tell them that I don't allow people around me to escape in the middle of the battle. You don't have to come. If you come, you will."

They are not allowed to retreat. Let them get twenty sticks by themselves. I won’t be able to keep them here again next time.”

Qi Min scratched his head and wondered: "Master, why do I have to do such offending things?"

Deng Zai glared at him coldly.

Pei Yue smiled and waved his hand and said: "Who gives you the most flexible mind? Who can do it if you are not allowed to do it?"

Qi Min obviously heard the implication of his words. He immediately put away those unnecessary thoughts and bowed: "Master, I understand."

"Okay, you all go down and do your work."
