Fang Han works as a slave in the Fang family, and his job is to raise horses. He raises a famous horse, "Qianli Snow", for the second lady of the Fang family.
Raising horses is a hard job. You have to wake up in the middle of the night and add fodder. Especially when raising famous horses, there are more rules. Originally, at this time, Fang Han should make soy milk, eggs, soybeans, and various delicate foods for Qianli Xue.
The feed was mixed together and fed to Qianli Xue, and then he was taken to the racecourse for a walk. After digesting the food, he waited for the arrival of the second young lady of the Fang family.
But because he peeked at the martial arts training in the inner palace this morning, "Giant Hand" Fang Tong appeared to explain the mysteries of the physical realm and the supernatural realm, which made him forget about it and delayed the most important thing.
Sure enough, when Fang Han hurried to the racecourse, he saw the horse he raised, "Qianli Snow", being ridden by a woman with a cool and noble temperament.
Next to this woman stood a maid, a majestic guard, and several young men and women who were also riding horses. They were all shining brightly, showing their high level of cultivation.
"Fang Han, you have caused a huge disaster! Why don't you kneel down and apologize to the second lady!" Seeing Fang Han appear, an old man hurried over and roared at Fang Han.
"General manager, I had a stomachache this morning..." Fang Han hesitated.
This old man is the general manager of the Fang Family Racecourse.
"I don't care what your reasons are. If you delay the second lady's affairs, it will be a huge disaster. How to be a slave, your father has taught you since you were a child. Don't you understand that the master's affairs are as big as the sky?" the old man scolded.
"Are you Fang Han who raised Qianli Xue? The second lady asked you to come over and ask questions!"
At this moment, a maid with high eyebrows and arrogance walked up from a distance. When she saw Fang Han, she shouted, spread her fingers like an eagle catching a rabbit, and directly grabbed Fang Han's shoulders.
Fang Han suddenly felt as if his whole body was being tied up, and he was forcibly lifted up by a little maid.
"This move is called Crane Claw Seal... This maid is two or three times more powerful than me." Fang Han looked at the maid's move and strength, and immediately remembered his experience of secretly learning martial arts.
But he couldn't avoid it at all. Although he peeked for a month and became enlightened, he still needed a lot of practice. How could he compare to the personal maid next to the second lady?
What's more, even if he could avoid it, he wouldn't dare to. Otherwise, disaster would be imminent.
boom!
Fang Han was thrown to the ground, and his whole body was numb.
"Kneel down and say something back." The maid kicked Fang Han.
"Are you Fang Han?" Miss Fang's second Miss Fang's voice came down from the "Qianli Snow" who was all white and extremely powerful.
"The villain is Fang Han." Fang Han lowered his head and answered with pain.
He knew that Miss Fang's name was Fang Qingwei and that she was very powerful. As a servant, if he showed anything that dissatisfied her, he might end up in a terrible situation.
"My Qianli Xue has been raised well by you, which shows that you have raised her with care. But this morning, you failed in your duty." Fang Qingwei said coldly: "I don't care what your reasons are. As a slave, you must consider everything for your master.
.This is the rule of our Fang family, and it is also the rule of being a servant in the world. This Qianlixue is your life, you have to serve it well even if you risk your life, do you understand?"
"I understand. I will risk my life in the future to raise good horses for the second lady. If the people are there and the horses are there, the horses will die. The second lady, please forgive the villain for his dereliction of duty today." Fang Hantou Ru said.
Pounding garlic, he naturally knows what to do at this time.
While kowtowing in fear, Fang Han's eyes quietly fell on Fang Qingwei's boots.
Fang Qingwei's boots were pure white, inlaid with beautiful jade, exquisite and gorgeous. Looking at this high-ranking boot, Fang Han thought that one day, he would be able to make others look up to his boots.
"Give him ten lashes and remember this lesson."
Fang Qingwei stood on the horse and waved her hand slightly.
"Yes!" A maid next to him immediately picked up the riding crop and whipped Fang Han's body hard.
Bang! Bang! Bang!......
Fang Han's body trembled with heart-wrenching pain. The maid's hand was extremely strong. With each whip, the tip of the whip flew in the air, making an explosive sound and almost shattering his bones. But he gritted his teeth and endured it.
Drenched in cold sweat.
After ten lashes, he almost collapsed to the ground.
"Thank you, Miss Second, for the whip!"
After Fang Han finished the whipping, he took his last breath and said, "This is the rule of a servant. If you don't say this, you are dissatisfied, and you won't be whipped."
"Okay!" Fang Qingwei, the second young lady on the horse, nodded with satisfaction, "I work with clear rewards and punishments. If you neglect your duty today, I will whip you. However, you have raised this Qianli Snow with your heart. It is energetic and not selfish.
I want to reward you for depriving the horse of food, so take it!"
A shining silver ingot fell from the horse and fell in front of Fang Han.
This silver ingot is cast with exquisite flame patterns and has the words "five taels" on the foot mark. It is obviously the official silver of the Dali Dynasty.
Five taels is equivalent to Fang Han's annual income, which is a good reward.
The Fang family's horses eat better than people. They are provided with a large amount of eggs and soy milk every day. Many servants secretly deduct the horses' food to eat for themselves, but Fang Han does not do this.
This reward seems to be Fang Qingwei's clear understanding of everything.
"Remember, when you are a servant, you will be punished if you do something wrong, and you will be rewarded if you do good. As long as you are loyal and focus on the main purpose, there will always be benefits for you." After Fang Qingwei dropped the reward, she faced the few people around her.
A young man and woman said: "Let's go, don't miss the hunting time."
"The second young lady manages the family well."
A young man admired Fang Qingwei after watching her treatment of Fang Han.
"The family is big and the population is large. Of course, there are rules to govern these slaves." Fang Qingwei's voice was very cold, always in a cold and noble tone: "It's just four words, kindness and power. How to show kindness, how to show power, the fire in it
Just make sure you have a good grasp of it.”
While these young men and women were talking to Fang Qingwei, they rode away angrily like a dragon.
"Oh! Fang Han! You got a benefit this time. Although you received ten lashes, you were rewarded with five taels of official silver from the second lady. It's really a good deal."
"Yes, ten lashes can be exchanged for five taels of silver, and I am willing to do so."
"Who wouldn't want to? Any fool would."
"Fang Han, I've made a fortune this time, so I'll treat you to a treat."
After Fang Qingwei and the others left, some horse grooms from the racecourse gathered around and looked at the silver in Fang Han's hand with envious expressions.
"This time I will whip you and reward you with money. Next time I may kill you and give you a generous burial." Looking at these people, Fang Han smiled coldly in his heart.
"It's definitely a treat, but I'm hurt all over my body right now. After I recover from my injuries, I'll definitely treat you to a meal." He groaned in pain, his face twisted, and he limped away from these things.
human entanglement.
"If I practice the secret realm of magical powers mentioned by the giant spirit hand Fang Tong, I wonder if the second lady will be whipped first and then be given a sweetener? Will the positions be reversed? I will whip the second lady with a whip and then reward the silver.
?”
After Fang Han returned to the hut where he lived, the pain from the whip marks on his body eased a little. He took the five taels of silver in his hand and knew that this was a common method of running a family. First, it showed that he was clear about rewards and punishments. Second, he showed that he was aware of everything and warned him.
For other slaves, beating and rewarding them can make the servants less resentful and more loyal to the Lord.
However, Fang Han has been tired of this kind of life as a slave since he was a child.
This is what his father secretly taught him, "It is better to be a beggar than a slave."
