Chapter 116 The First Rain

This Goubli was very clever, so he hit a snake with a stick and pretended to be sad and said: "At that time, I steamed buns for Young Master Gou. Seeing him like this, I begged the master in charge to say: The young master does not eat, and the rest can be rewarded to the farmers outside, and let everyone get some rain and dew from the Gou family. Who knows, who knows—" He made a look of grief and indignation without tears:

"This man actually said that their family name is 'Gou', so even a dog is more honorable than a farmer outside!"

These words caused a commotion below, and the anger of the common people was mobilized as expected.In an age of scarcity, the willful waste of food is a terrible crime.Some people shouted: "Kill this villain!"

The master of this family was panting wildly in anxiety, but he couldn't make a sound, his face turned red from holding back.

Seeing this scene, Goubli was very proud, and he struck while the iron was hot, and shouted at the half-old man: "What are you staring at me for! With a blue sky like Mr. Shorthair making decisions for our little people, I am not afraid of you villain! No more It’s time for your Gou family to shit and pee on our little people’s heads.”

As he spoke, he pulled up his sleeves and took off his shirt, revealing many torture scars on his body: "Dear folks, this year I was baking sweet potatoes under the kitchen, and this old man saw me and said I stole them. Horse food. I said, your horse food is golden millet and beans. How can there be such coarse food? I can’t steal it. Just because of this sentence, he went to sue Gou Xunyi, and put me in a dungeon and tortured me to death. , I’m locked in the dungeon right now, if the short-haired masters didn’t open the prison door, I would have died in it for nothing—” As he spoke, he probably thought of all the sufferings of being locked in the dungeon, Tears were shed just right.

At this time, the audience was already crying. Although Wu De was happy with the effect, he knew that what Goubli said was true and false, so he whispered to Xi Yazhou: "Is this too hypocritical?"

Xi Yazhou shook his head: "In fact, the real thing is much worse than this. You can see that the people are crying. This is a resonance. If the Gou family didn't do all kinds of bad things and hurt the people, would they cry? Now the people don't dare Talk about this. Those who dare to speak can’t tell clearly. Although Goubli is talking nonsense, but he dares to speak and mobilize his emotions, which will help them break through that layer of shackles.”

Wu De murmured in his heart.He is much older than people like Xi Yazhou, and he has personally seen many political turmoil started by mass movements. He is still a little uncertain about the consequences of mass movements.Seeing the disapproving expression on Wu De's face, Xi Yazhou said, "It doesn't matter how small things are, the most important thing is to mobilize the masses. Let's continue to listen."

While talking, someone suddenly came over and whispered softly: "There is a maid who wants to see the person in charge."

Wu De was taken aback for a moment, wondering why a maid wanted to see him get up for no reason, so he hurriedly said a few words to Xi Yazhou, and brought a few people with him.

There are one or two hundred male and female servants in the Gou family, apart from the servants.Their composition is relatively complicated, and it is difficult to identify them for a while. For the time being, men and women will be separated and detained in two courtyards.Just now, the struggle meeting took away a group of powerful and powerful servants according to Zhang Xingjiao's list.

The maid who wanted to see him was called Chu Yu.Gou Xunyi's most favored Seventh Aunt was originally a personal maid. When the stockade was broken, Gou Xunyi's wives and concubines were either forced or voluntary to hang themselves, and some maids committed suicide in panic. This girl didn't want to To be buried for the master who is usually mean, and after seeing the short-haired people coming in, he did not commit any offense to the woman Qiu, let alone death.She is usually quick-witted and quick-witted, and can speak a few words of official Chinese. She knows more or less the rumors about the short-haired people outside. Now, seeing these young "kun thieves", they are all tall and strong, with light steps, gestures, and conversations. Their demeanors are full of self-confidence, neither humble nor utter a word, completely different from the self-important arrogance of masters and young masters, and the cautious humbleness of ordinary servants, and I can't help but feel a little more admiration in my heart.

After thinking about it for a while, she was sold in this county by a family fleeing famine from outside, and after several resales, she fell to the Gou family to be a maid. Extremely mean, even a little unsatisfactory is beaten and scolded.It was like years for Chu Yu to be by her side.She is alone in this world, with no worries and cares. She only wanted to be able to point out a servant to live in peace in the future, but she didn't expect that the maids of the Gou family never married. Without a marriage, her last little hope was shattered (Note: This is the so-called "impaired maidservant", a maidservant who grows up without marriage and serves until she dies of old age. This custom has existed in many places since the Ming Dynasty, and the reason seems to be For economic gain. Considered inhumane even at the time)

Gou's family is broken, and his future has to be decided.She thinks that these short-haired women have always prided themselves on benevolence and righteousness. After breaking the Zhuangzi, they will not rob or kill randomly, and they are very polite to women. They also specially dispatched a short-haired matron to guard them.My servants and maidservants are not important people. After a few days, I will probably ask them to go home. I have no home to go back to, so I have to find a way out for myself.After much deliberation, I decided to make a gift of a secret I knew.The plan has been made, so when I was going to the trumpet, I quietly reported it to Du Wen, who was in charge of watching, in the corner of the yard.

Du Wen had been advising the mass meeting for a long time, but she couldn't watch it, and she was feeling sulking, when suddenly a "sister from the oppressed class" was willing to expose it, she really didn't have the appetite, and she was supposed to speak out, but this But Chu Yu died, he was only willing to see the "man in charge" before talking about his temper.

"I'm in charge." Du Wen didn't give up.

"There are people in charge, big and small, you are definitely not the one in charge!" This girl is not afraid at all, and has a rather aggressive style.

"why?!"

"Because you are a woman! No woman deserves to be in charge!"

These words made Du Wen so angry that she couldn't go well, and she scolded in her heart, "I don't realize it, and I have a feudal thought that men are superior to women", but there is no way, so I had to ask someone to call Wu De.

Chu Yu was led by Du Wen into the small talking hall, knelt down on both knees, kowtowed, bowed her head and said: "Slave Chu Yu kowtows to the master."

Because he lowered his head, Wu De didn't see her face clearly, but her tall figure and generous demeanor had already made him secretly satisfied.It has been so long in this time and space, and this is a rare woman who is more in line with the aesthetic views of modern people.

He smiled and asked, "Are you the woman who wants to see me?"

"Yes. It is the servant girl."

"What do you want from me?" Wu De said, picking up the preliminary interrogation record, knowing that this woman is the seventh concubine's personal maid, "You are the seventh concubine's personal maid, she is dead now, can you grieve? "

Chu Yu's words sounded dangerous, so he said a little reservedly:

"We have been masters and servants for many years, and slaves and maidservants are not grass, so there is no reason not to show compassion." She did not speak of grief, but of compassion, to show the difference between the times.

"You don't look so sad, do you?"

Chu Yu kowtowed her head, and said generously: "The servants serve Seventh Aunt, and they go all out to clean and sweep every day, in order to repay the kindness of covering them with food and clothing. The relationship between master and servant does not stop here."

The implication is that I am worthy of the wages I get for my work. Now that the company has gone bankrupt, it is inevitable that there will be a little sadness, but regret is out of the question.

Wu De nodded in his heart, praised secretly, and then said: "Chu Yu, raise your head."

Chu Yu raised her head boldly, allowing Wu De to see her face clearly, and she also took the opportunity to look him up.She saw that the short-haired man was middle-aged, with regular features, a pair of thick eyebrows, piercing eyes, dark skin, and a strong and powerful body.I couldn't help but move my heart, fearing that he would look directly at me, so I lowered my head again.

At first glance, Wu De looked at Chu Yu, she looked like a girl of eighteen or nineteen years old, she should still be a middle school student in modern time and space.There is a calm and composed look between his brows.he asked:

"What do you have to tell us?"

"There is a secret pavilion in Gou Xunyi's study, have you ever found out?"

"Secret Pavilion?" Wu De and Du Wen called out in unison.They have searched everywhere in the Gou's house, but they haven't found out that there is a secret pavilion in the study.

"That's right, it's in the inner study room. There's a secret cabinet behind the panels there. All the important correspondence, ledgers and valuables are stored in it."

This is a big discovery!Wu De is very clear that gold, silver and treasure are second to none. The secret letter and account book of the Dawo family who has colluded with various pirates on the ground in Guangdong can obviously let them know many details. The information transmission in this time and space is very blocked. Guangdong It often takes several months for the news to reach the county, and they can only look up various local conditions from history books.

He nodded: "How do you know?"

"The servant girl is the seventh concubine's personal servant girl. Master Gou often calls the seventh concubine to sleep with her in the inner study, and the slave servant waits outside as usual. Occasionally—occasionally—" Chu Yu blushed slightly when he said that, showing affection for Dou Chukai. The girl's charming look made Wu De, a middle-aged man, a little bit overwhelmed.After thinking about it, this child is enough to be his own daughter, so don't really give a hand to the beast.He nodded:

"Since you are willing to tell us such a secret, what can you ask for? We will reward you heavily for the money you give, and then send someone to escort you home."

"The servant girl only asks the master to keep the servant girl by his side to serve him. The servant girl has no relatives and no relatives for a long time, so where can she go even with the gold and silver? Please take the master in!" Chu Yu generously kowtowed again.

This made Wu De blush, and the little girl recommended herself to be his maid, which was really the first time in her life.Of course, this matter cannot be agreed to, not to mention that a group of homeboys who are already a bit sloppy can't tolerate him, even Du Wen next to him will give him a hard leg in all likelihood.Fortunately, they have already made arrangements for this issue: all homeless maidservants and servants will be taken in.

"It's easy to say, you sisters who have nowhere to go, we will naturally take them in and use them. You can rest assured! Take us to open a pavilion."
