Seeing that Zhao Hu seemed to have made up his mind, Lin Fu rubbed his nose habitually and said: "Aunt Zhao, my parents died when I was ten years old, and I relied on my neighbors to take care of me. Aunt Zhao, please treat me
As a nephew, you don’t need to tell me what the benefits are. I will not forget your family, Aunt Zhao. It’s just that my ability is limited at this time and I can’t take good care of it... Since Aunt Zhao insists on doing this, Zhao Hu doesn’t feel aggrieved. Then tomorrow
Let’s go to the county together to set up documents and change our registration. However, Zhao Hu doesn’t need to go with me to Jiangning. Meizi, Zewa, and Dongwa are not yet adults, so Zhao Hu still needs to stay and take care of them.”
Zhao was naturally happy. It was said that Zhao Hu followed Lin Fu to get the moon silver, but if he followed Lin Fu to Jiangning, the moon silver would be enough for his own expenses, and his family would not be able to take care of him at all. Lin Fu did not want Zhao Hu to follow him.
By her side, Zhao Hu could earn at least two wages by staying at home. In addition, he could avoid all kinds of extra expenses. The previously tight life could immediately become more relaxed. How could she be unhappy?
Mrs. Zhao happily went to the old house with Zhao Hu's father, and Lin Jingchang also left happily. Zhao Huchu didn't say anything, and after everyone had dispersed, he asked Lin Fu: "Since you agreed to be my guard, you are going to Jiangning.
Why didn't you let me follow you? I took advantage of it and I'm not happy about it!"
Zhou Pu sat on a stool on the side and smiled as he watched Zhao Hu question Lin Fu. He liked Zhao Hu's straightforward and upright character, and it was up to him to see how Lin Fu made up his mind.
Lin Fu looked at Zhao Hu, knowing that he was trustworthy, and asked, "Do you really want to follow me to Jiangning?"
"I think I have some advantages. How can I just take advantage of you?" Zhao Hu said angrily, "Besides, when you go to Jiangning, you don't need your own people to take care of you?"
In Zhao Hu's opinion, Lin Fu would definitely use Zhou Pu as his bodyguard and would ask Zhou Pu to follow him to Jiangning. He felt that his status in Lin Fu's heart was not as good as that of this foreigner and he was angry.
"..." Lin Fu laughed and said, "I know you are strong and have practiced boxing and kicking. Do you want to ask Master Zhou for advice? You should also be able to see that Master Zhou has practiced both hands."
"Come on, come on, don't be afraid of bullying me because of my age," Zhou Pu knew that Lin Fu had made up his mind, so he walked over with a smile, "Let's join hands..." Zhou Pu also learned martial arts in his early years.
After half a lifetime, I have no routine in my boxing and kicking skills. I can only fight with each other with loose hands.
At this moment, Zhao Hu thought that Lin Fu wanted to recruit two guards who were capable of protecting him after he met the bandits. He also didn't notice that Lin Fu's name for Zhou Pu had changed. He knew that Zhou Pu meant "help me"
The meaning of the move is that he is a newborn calf and is not afraid of tigers, so he said: "That's okay..." He clenched his right hand into a fist and bent forward to ask Zhou Pu to make the move first. Zhou Pu leaned over with his wrist, and he was about to grab it with a flip of his wrist. His movements were as fast as lightning.
Zhao Hu was startled. At first he thought Zhou Pu was just physically strong. He was so surprised that he couldn't hide away, so Zhou Pu grabbed his wrist. Zhou Pu didn't change his tactics to choke or seal his eyes.
, directly press down hard to test to see if Zhao Hu has the strength and whether the strength is stiff or not. Zhao Hu has a strong arm and strong wrist strength. Seeing Zhou Pu competing with him, he was happy. However, Zhou Pu hadn’t exerted enough strength yet, but Zhou Pu didn’t expect it.
Pu's wrist shook violently, and he turned his palm into a fist and hit him directly on the chest. Zhao Hu received this blow on the chest and almost fell back after taking three or four steps. He held his chest for a long time before he finally regained his breath.
.
Only then did Zhao Hu realize that his two tricks were not what others saw, and he was stunned, not knowing what to say.
"How?" Lin Fu asked with a smile. Seeing that Zhao Hu looked a little depressed, he said, "Now you know that Mr. Zhou is not an ordinary refugee who fled from northern Hebei. I am not asking Mr. Zhou to help you.
To dampen your spirit——Since you insist on going to Jiangning with me, there are some things that I need to let you know, so you must keep your mouth shut, not even to Jingchang."
Zhao Hu has a rough temper. Others would probably hesitate at this time. He just asked: "Is there anything else that you can't tell others?" This tone sounded like there was a big hole waiting for him in Jiangning and he didn't care.
He hesitated and jumped in with Lin Fu. It was not so much his rough temper but his deep trust in Lin Fu. He only said, "I only know that you have changed a lot since you came back this time."
"Of course there will be some changes. You don't really think that I could escape so easily when I encountered robbers in Baisha County? What I told Lu Jiaoyu and Master Chen today was mostly made up. Some things come to mind.
It's a bit horrifying, so it's better not to say it out loud yet, so as not to worry everyone. But if you insist on going to Jiangning with us, you will see something and hear something in the future. You just need to know these things in your heart, and you can't let them out.
There will always be a lot of trouble if some things are leaked." Lin Fu said, since he wants to take Zhao Hu with him, although he will not tell him all the inside information now, some things must be said clearly to avoid
He accidentally made a mistake.
"I know this, I'm not a three-year-old child..." Zhao Hu said.
"Enze is learning boxing and kicking skills from Master Zhou, as well as swordsmanship. You can also ask Master Zhou to give you some advice." Lin Fu said.
"Then Master Zhou can accept me as his apprentice?" Zhao Hu was very enthusiastic about this matter, so he turned around and asked Zhou Pu.
Lin Fu also followed suit and said, "Thank you for your hard work, Mr. Zhou."
"What I know is only small tricks. What Brother Lin has learned is the art of killing. Zhao Hu, how can you throw watermelons and pick sesame seeds?" Zhou Pu said.
"What kind of killing technique? It's just a contingency that I came up with when I was desperate." Lin Fu didn't want Zhao Hu to feel how much he had changed, so he casually explained what happened in the past ten months and said,
"When it comes to the art of killing, there is nothing better than swordsmanship. One man's bravery cannot defeat ten veteran soldiers. The art of swordsmanship lies in the soldiers but not in the sword. Zhao Hu, you have had more than ten subordinates, so you should have some understanding of the art of swordsmanship.
In this regard, Master Zhou also has something to teach you... maybe you can win a military title in the future."
If you become a domestic slave, you will be assigned a lowly status. Even if you relinquish your status and become a good person in the future, your descendants and even their descendants will take the imperial examinations and enter official careers for several generations. However, in this dynasty, in order to reward military merit, there will be no such thing in declassification after joining the army and accumulating merit.
Limit, you can even win military honors and honor your ancestors.
Zhao Hu thought that since he recognized Zhou Pu as his master, he said that he and Chen Enze could not share the same bed with Zhou Pu, and that they had to make another bed on the floor of the west wing to comply with the rules. However, Zhou Pu kicked him: "Why are there so many broken rules?
"
***************
Zhao Hu, Zhou Pu, and Chen Enze all went to the west wing to rest. After a while, the snoring came one after another. Even though there were two doors in the middle, it was so noisy that Lin Fu could not sleep peacefully.
Lin Fu was always worried. In the early winter, it was not too cold even if it was cold. He slept with the window open and looked at the frosty moonlight in front of his bed. Lin Fu was thinking about the affairs of the Lin family. He knew that if he proposed to go to Jiangning, the Seventh Lady would be very upset.
Disappointed, but there is nothing we can do. Changshan Island cannot afford to waste time.
***************
Early the next morning, Zhao Hu set up a mule cart to send Lin Fu, Zhou Pu, and Chen Enze to the county. Before going to the county, he told his mother that "if Lin Fu goes to Jiangning, he will also go to Jiangning." Zhao did not
What do you mean, after Zhao Hu and the others left, she also went to the Lin family mansion to help. Mrs. Zhao also thought over and over last night that it would be good for Zhao Hu to stay, but she might not be sure that Lin Fu would have a big future, so Zhao Hu would follow
There will be a future by his side. Besides, the seventh lady also hopes that Zhao Hu can stay with Lin Fu.
Mrs. Zhao rushed to the Lin family's mansion, and there was someone driving a carriage in front of the gate. It was the person next to the second young master. Mrs. Zhao thought that the second young master was going on a long trip early in the morning, so she walked in carefully through the side door.
Everyone in the big house knew that there was a quarrel between the Second Young Master and the Seventh Madam. She was invited by the Seventh Madam to help the Lin family. Mrs. Zhao was usually careful to avoid the Second Young Master to avoid being scolded for no reason.
The Lin family is quite considerate to their servants, and their treatment is generous. Not just anyone can come in as a helper. Even if Mrs. Zhao is more aggressive, she is only a village woman from a farmer's family, but it was Mrs. Seven who appointed her after she entered the Lin family.
Only by serving in the mansion could Mrs. Zhao have the opportunity to work as a servant in a big house.
Mrs. Zhao later found out that the seventh lady couldn't let go of taking care of Lin Fu, but when she first entered the Lin family, there was a fierce fight with secret weapons in the mansion. The six ladies were all jealous of her, waiting for her to reveal something.
It's a good joke. Naturally, she can't directly take care of a child of the Lin family who is already very estranged from her family. When Lin Fu grows up to be a young man of fourteen or fifteen years old, the seventh lady will be a gorgeous and upright young woman in her teens, and her status in the Lin family will be different.
Unstable, naturally she has to be even more taboo. Mrs. Zhao is always warm-hearted. Before the seventh lady entered the Lin family, she took good care of Lin Fu when she was a child. After the seventh lady entered the Lin family, she invited Mrs. Zhao to help in the mansion. Mrs. Zhao
He even more enthusiastically took care of Lin Fu as his own nephew. Others would only treat Mr. Zhao as kind and compassionate, and would not think of the Seventh Madam.
"The Seventh Madam is really kind to this child," Mrs. Zhao thought secretly. In her mind, Lin Fu was still a child. "This poor kid has such a bad temper. I don't know how hard the Seventh Madam has worked these years.
Not only did he stay to help the Seventh Madam, but he inexplicably wanted to go to Jiangning, could it be that Jiangning's flirtatious vixen really captivated his mind?"
Mrs. Zhao rushed to the front yard of Director Lin's house. Today was the day to check the accounts. Mrs. Seven was already there to check the accounts. Seven or eight accountants were standing together in silence. Two of them had ugly faces. They must have been reprimanded. Seven
When Mrs. Gu Yingxiu saw Mrs. Zhao entering the courtyard, she threw the accounts in her hand on the table. She just said: "I'll come and see after lunch..." and asked Mrs. Zhao to follow her to the Cuiyuan at the back.
Mrs. Zhao told the seventh lady what Lin Fu had done with the old house at the end of the village last night.
The seventh lady, Gu Yingxiu, nodded and said: "Lin Fu has become a good man when he comes back this time. I originally wanted to persuade him not to argue with Zhao Guisheng's family. Leaving a good reputation in Shanglin is more important than anything else. I didn't expect him to do this."
It’s appropriate...has he agreed to Zhao Hu following him?”
"The scholar agreed to let Zhao Hu follow him. For some reason, he wanted to go to Jiangning and had no intention of staying at Shanglindu..." said Zhao.
"He has made up his mind..." The seventh lady, Gu Yingxiu, frowned slightly, her beautiful eyebrows as dark as green mountains spread out, but she sighed slightly and said to Zhao, "He should too
He has made his own decision. I will go to Hutang tomorrow. You can tell him when he comes back."
