Jinghong Tower

Chapter 459: The Five Tyrants of the Capital (Part )

San Ya borrowed Grandma Fu's stove and cooked corn porridge. After the porridge was cooked, He Xiaojiu invited San Ya to eat with her. This time, San Ya only hesitated for a moment before eating.

After eating and drinking, Lu Wen ran out. A moment later, Dong Jinbao, Feng Moqiu and Feng Jingchun all came. Grandma Fu was so happy to see the group of white and tender little buns that she smiled and took out a bag of peanuts for them to roast and eat.

The few of them thanked Grandma Fu politely and then chatted while roasting peanuts in the kitchen of Grandma Fu's house. San Ya was a little shy and ran to the door to stand guard for them.

Seeing this, Dong Jinbao quickly took out an egg from his arms and stuffed it into her hand: "Don't be polite, take it and eat it."

San Ya was so scared that she didn't dare to take it. He Xiaojiu nodded: "Take it, it's okay."

San Ya then accepted the call, thanked him profusely, and went out happily.

Dong Jinbao: "Ninth sister, I've only been here for three days and you've already accepted me as your younger brother, no, younger sister?"

He Xiaojiu: "Your ninth sister has a hundred responses to her call."

Dong Jinbao: "Of course, who is my Ninth Sister? When she stamps her feet, the capital city shakes three times."

It has been three days since He Xiaojiu came to Zhaocai Village, and this is the first time he has seen Feng Moqiu.

He Xiaojiu: "Let's talk about our experiences over the past few days. I'll go first. I moved into Lao Zhong's house. The man in Lao Zhong's house ran away during the evacuation."

After hearing this, the other three looked at Lu and asked, "Why didn't you call us when you went to fight?"

Lu asked: "You didn't take me with you when you went to Zhangjia Village."

Well, he still remembered the incident of killing Zhang Yaozu. It had been so long, and everyone else had almost forgotten it.

The next one was Dong Jinbao. Dong Jinbao sighed, "I went to the Yu family. There are no male heirs in the Yu family. They like me and want me to be their son-in-law. I can choose any of the sisters in the Yu family. Oh, Father and Mother Yu are so nice to me. They don't let me do any work and even cook eggs for me. I feel embarrassed to refuse. What should I do? Can you give me some advice? If I stay in the village and get married, will my mother be angry?"

Feng Jingchun: "You stay in the village and get married. I will go and be your mother's daughter so that she can forget about you. You're welcome. It's my duty."

Dong Jinbao.
The third one is Feng Moqiu, the one that everyone is curious about. This guy can’t carry anything on his shoulders or hands, is picky about food, and is only fond of his bed when sleeping. No one knows how he managed to survive these three days.

Feng Moqiu: "I was assigned to the old Lu family. Like the Zhong family, the Lu family is a single household in the village. However, the Lu family is very nice. There are seven people in the Lu family, including Grandma Lu, Uncle Lu, Aunt Lu and their four children.

In addition, their family had two students, both girls. They had to walk a long way every day to go to the school in the town. The school did not allow accommodation, so Uncle Lu and Brother Lu were responsible for picking them up and dropping them off.

The school in the town did not require tuition for girls, but pens, ink, paper and inkstone still cost money. They studied very hard and after finishing their homework every day, they would collect mountain products to help make money for their family.

The Lu family also has a five-year-old little brother who is still young and has not yet started to learn. The Lu family members work hard from dawn to dusk and save money to pay tuition for the little brother.

I taught little brother Lu how to write, and the Lu family was very happy. They didn't let me work in the fields, so I just taught little brother Lu at home. But I didn't just sit there and do nothing. After only two days of teaching, little brother Lu already knew several characters. "

He Xiaojiu: Why am I a little envious? Why hasn't she met such a good family?

It seems that I was worried about him for nothing, he is living such a good life.

Next up was Feng Jingchun: "My situation is similar to that of my ninth sister. We went to a household with only women, but the population was simple, with only Aunt Zhang and her daughter.

Aunt Zhang's son was lost on the way of fleeing. Aunt Zhang's daughter was not her biological child but adopted. At that time, she lost her son and never found him. Later, when she arrived in Zhaocai Village, Aunt Zhang often went out to inquire about her son's whereabouts. She did not find her son, but brought back a little girl, who was Sister Zhang.

From then on, Aunt Zhang treated Sister Zhang as her own daughter, and the mother and daughter depended on each other for survival.

The Zhang family is a big family in the village, and all the neighbors are relatives. Although no one dares to bully them, the aunts and uncles are annoying. I have only lived here for three days, and I have heard the aunts say several times that they want Aunt Zhang to marry Sister Zhang to a rich man in town as a concubine. Aunt Zhang and Sister Zhang both disagree, but the aunts still nag, which is annoying. The rich man is fifty years old, and Sister Zhang is only eighteen years old. "

The last one was Lu Wen, who said simply, "That family has the surname Wang, four generations living together, and five children. I don't like them."

Everyone understood these sixteen words. Those five children must be younger than Lu Wen. Since he was a child, Lu Wen only liked to play with children older than him. He hated all children younger than him.

Lu asked about the Wang family. The Wang family treated him very well. He was young and had fair skin and tender flesh. It was obvious that he had never suffered hardship. The Wang family had a good relationship with the head of the village. They knew that the child might be the child of a wealthy family in the capital, so they did not dare to let him work in the fields. They let him play with the five other children in the family. Just for this, young Master Lu was very unhappy. He stayed at the Wang family for three days and showed a cold face for three days.

In fact, Lu Wen was like this at home too, with a stern face every day. His servants often said, "Young Master hasn't smiled in many days."

There is no harm without comparison. He Xiaojiu is depressed, why is she the only one who is hurt?
"What do you think?" He Xiaojiu asked. This was the sentence the Emperor's mother had said to her most often since she was a child. No matter what she did, the Emperor's mother would ask her what she thought.

When she was a child, she was arranged by the Emperor's mother to watch a beheading. She vomited all over the place, but the Emperor's mother still grabbed her and asked her what she thought.

Now He Xiaojiu has used this sentence on her four good friends. There will also be a day when she, He Xiaojiu, will ask others what they think. She has made progress.

Feng Jingchun rushed to say: "I feel that this place is too poor. Aunt Zhang raises six chickens, each chicken lays an egg every day, and she can collect six eggs a day, but she can only eat eggs during the Chinese New Year. She takes those eggs to the town to exchange for money and other things. In addition, they can only buy a little meat during the Chinese New Year."

Feng Moqiu nodded, and rarely refuted his sister: "The Lu family is also very poor. Brother Lu is already 19 years old, but he can't find a wife. The girl's family heard that his family has two scholars, so they refused to let their daughter marry him. They said that their family has two scholars at once, and they are girls, which is a bottomless pit. By the way, the villagers also point fingers at the Lu family, saying that Uncle Lu and Aunt Lu are crazy to support their daughters to study. Wouldn't it be better to use that money to help Brother Lu marry a wife and have a few grandchildren?
My father often said that reading ten thousand books is not as good as traveling ten thousand miles. He was right. It is only thirty miles from the capital to here, but I have already gained a lot of knowledge. "

Everyone was talking at once, but Lu Wen had a stern face and said nothing. He was using his coldness to hide his inner irritability. Oh my God, I didn't see anything. If Sister Nine asked me to talk about my feelings, what should I do if I can't say anything? It would be too embarrassing, wouldn't it?

But He Xiaojiu still looked at him: "Xiao Wen, what about you? What do you think?"

Lu Wen: "No." He cheered for himself in his heart and said only one word: He is so handsome!

Dong Jinbao on the side laughed: "Xiao Wenzi, are you stupid?"

Lu Wen looked at Dong Jinbao coldly. If looks could kill, Dong Jinbao would have been pierced by thousands of arrows at this moment.

"Why don't you try calling me Xiaowenzi again?"

"I shouted, 'Little Questioner, Little Questioner, Little Questioner!'" Dong Jinbao shouted while making faces, really asking for a beating.

Lu Wen lowered his head and gathered his energy. He opened his arms, clenched his hands into fists, and made a humming sound from his mouth, which had its own effect. Just when his true energy was about to break through the sky, Lu Wen pounced towards Dong Jinbao and bit Dong Jinbao's ear!

He Xiaojiu: No wonder her father always said that young soldiers are hard to lead. Look, she only led four, and there was one troublemaker and one dangerous element.

Fortunately, we still have Ms. Feng Jingchun!

Feng Jingchun picked up a fire stick and hit the two men with it. There were still sparks on the stick. The two men, who were originally tightly holding each other, immediately separated and fled when they saw the flying sparks.

Lu Wen pointed at Dong Jinbao and said, "If you dare to call me Xiao Wenzi again, I will call you Lao Yuzi (Bao)zi. I will also go to the entrance of the Ministry of Industry and call you so that your mother will know that you call Lao Yuzi!"

The Ministry of Industry is Dong Jinbao’s mother’s territory.

Dong Jinbao's mother looks weak and speaks in a weak voice, but when she beats Dong Jinbao, she turns into an invincible female King Kong in seconds. For this, Dong Jinbao made himself a fake buttocks, but it was discovered by his mother after only one use. After all, his skills were passed down from his mother.

However, the fake buttocks made by Dong Jinbao were all the rage in the capital, and many children dreamed of owning a fake buttock. Unfortunately, the ones that could be bought outside were all imitations that were incomparable to the real thing. Unfortunately, apart from the Five Hegemons, no one else could let the young master of the Dong family make a fake buttocks by himself. It is said that Feng Zan's youngest son chased Dong Jinbao and cried all the way, but he still couldn't get a fake buttock that was so real and could withstand beatings.

Dong Jinbao was most afraid of his mother. Lu Wen hit the snake at its most vulnerable part, and Dong Jinbao finally became obedient.

He Xiaojiu cleared his throat and signaled them to shut up. He Xiaojiu said, "You have seen San Ya, right? I will take her with me when I leave. If she stays in Lao Zhong's house, she will either be beaten to death or sold."

The four tyrants agreed. Not to mention the Ninth Sister, even they would take San Ya away. Even if she became a maid in their house, her life would be ten or a hundred times better than in Old Zhong's house.

He Xiaojiu continued, "But there are tens of thousands of girls like San Ya in the world. I can take one away, but I can't take all of them away. Just like this Zhaocai Village, the people in the village are very poor. For example, the Lu family. Big Brother Lu is too poor to marry a wife, but he still has to support his younger brothers and sisters to study. Feng Moqiu, when you return to the capital, you can have someone send money and food to the Lu family, and send pens, ink, paper and inkstones to the two daughters of the Lu family. If you like, you can also bring the Lu family to the capital and let them live in your family's farm, right?"

Feng Moqiu nodded: "That's what I meant. I also want to introduce them to study in the capital, and let Uncle Lu and Brother Lu work in my shop, so that they can earn more money and don't have to work so hard."

He Xiaojiu looked at Feng Jingchun: "Aunt Zhang and Sister Zhang depend on each other for survival. They work hard and save money, but Sister Zhang may marry an old man who can be her father. Are you thinking about finding a good marriage for Sister Zhang when you return to the capital, so that they will no longer be harassed by gossips?"

Feng Jingchun smiled and said, "Ninth sister is ninth sister. I have made up my mind. Let Sister Zhang marry the eldest son of Butler Feng. Butler Feng's eldest son is good-looking and smart. My father has praised him. Sister Zhang will definitely be happy if she marries him."

He Xiaojiu said to Dong Jinbao, "What about you? Are you going to stay in Zhaocai Village and become a live-in son-in-law?"

Dong Jinbao waved his hands: "No, no, how can that be? I'm just kidding. Even if I agree, my mother won't agree. She has so many students, but I'm the only one who inherited her skillful hands. That's why she's reluctant to give me to others."

He Xiaojiu said: "The Yu family is so good to you that they even give you eggs to eat. Do you want to be nicer to them too?"

Dong Jinbao: "Yes, they are so good to me, but I can't stay and be a live-in son-in-law. I feel guilty, so I have made up my mind. When I return to the capital, I will have someone build a house for his family. I will build a large blue brick and tile house with two entrances. With a blue brick and tile house, there must be someone willing to be a live-in son-in-law. If no one comes, I will send Dong Guier over."

Dong Guier is Dong Jinbao's servant.

He Xiaojiu felt that being a servant for Dong Jinbao was quite risky, as he might be sent to someone else as a son-in-law.

Finally, He Xiaojiu asked Lu Wen: "What about you? The Wang family treats you very well, but you don't seem to be very nice to them. What do you think?"

Lu Wen: I didn’t have any thoughts before this. Why should I think? A killer doesn’t need to think.

But since Ninth Sister asked, I must answer.

Lu Wen: "Then I'll ask my grandmother to send a maid to help his family take care of the child. Anyway, I have many maids at home, any one of them will do."

He hated the old women in his family the most. They were either nagging and annoying, or gossiping about other people's private affairs. So, how about this: send all the old women to Zhaocai Village, one to each family. That way, there would be people working in Zhaocai Village, and he could have some peace and quiet. Perfect!
He Xiaojiu: I’m a little tired, what should I do?
Forget it, Lu Wen is still young, let him go this time.

He Xiaojiu said to Feng Moqiu, "In Zhaocai Village, are there many families like the Lu family who are willing to send their daughters to school?"

Feng Moqiu shook his head: "As far as I know, there is only one family, the Lu family, otherwise those people would not have been sneering at us."

He Xiaojiu said: "If you bring the Lu family to the capital, what do you think the villagers will say?"

Feng Moqiu was stunned. Dong Jinbao smiled and said, "The villagers will definitely say that they are lucky to have met a big idiot from Beijing. He is stupid and rich. They will regret why they didn't take you to their family. In this way, they can also go to Beijing with you, right?"

Feng Moqiu blinked, and he understood why He Xiaojiu asked him.

"I took the Lu family to the capital because they were willing to support their daughter's education. I wanted to help them because they were working hard and were positive, but the villagers couldn't see that. They just thought the Lu family was lucky."
