The ultimate rebirth of the abandoned woman

Chapter 90 The Idle Man Hou Erlang ([-])
After dismissing Hou Wendong, Xiao Nan said that he was tired and would go to the kang in the east wing for a while.

While a few servant girls were busy tidying up the rooms and bedding for her, Xiao Nan picked one of the ten Fulin dogs that looked stronger, and quietly hid it in his arms. Fortunately, she was wearing a moon-white cloak , the little snow ball is hidden in the cloak, not obvious at all.

The leader of Yuzan finished tidying up the guest room, and came to serve Xiao Nan to rest, but Xiao Nan sent him out, "...I'm a little hungry, go to the kitchen and see if there is anything to eat."

Yuhan did not doubt that he was there, Xiao Nan's appetite gradually increased after Xiao Nan showed his pregnancy, and four or five meals a day were normal.

They have been busy for so long today, no wonder Xiao Nan is not hungry.

In response, Yuhan withdrew, leaving Yuzhu and a few little maids to guard the outside room - this is Xiao Nan's new rule after she became pregnant, no one is allowed in the room when she is resting.

Yuzhu was not idle either, and ordered someone to ask Hou Wendong for the roster of maids and servants in the farm, as well as a list of all tenant farmers.

Just now Xiao Nan told her that he might come to the farm frequently in the future, which made Yuzhu immediately think about the safety and comfort of the farm.

Among these two issues, the first one is naturally the security issue.And this safety is closely related to the servants of the farm.

Not to mention, the past owner of this farm was the Xiao Liu family who had harmed Xiao Nan.

Xiao Liushi still doesn't know who her farm has been transferred to, but things are not absolute, so be careful in everything.

Yuzhu herself is still bearing the punishment, she doesn't want to have something wrong again before being punished.

Therefore, Yuzhu decided to take advantage of the county lord's rest time to sort out the information of all the people in the farm. If there was time, she was going to 'chat' with the servants who served in the small courtyard.

If something is wrong, it is best to deal with it as soon as possible.

In the room, Xiao Nan took out the soft little meat ball from his cloak.

The puppy is just one month old and still suckling, and it smells like milk.

Rolled out of the soft cloak——really rolled, this guy, his body was round and round, and he was hugged in a soft embrace just now, so comfortable that he curled up and fell asleep.

As soon as he came out, before he stretched his body, he rolled and landed on the kang with a grunt.

Although the Kang is covered with bamboo mats, it is not hard.

When Yuzan sent someone to make the bed, she spread thick lichen and mattress under the bamboo mat, which was soft and comfortable.

Therefore, the puppy didn't hurt from the fall, it turned over with great difficulty, turned its big round and wet eyes, and looked around curiously.

Maybe the little guy is still wondering: Hey, where are the brothers and sisters?How can it be left by itself as soon as you open your eyes?

Looking at the cute little guy, Xiao Nan really couldn't bear to do what he was going to do next.

Holding a silver needle in his hand, he looked through the four little guy's meat scratches one by one. After trying repeatedly for a long time, he couldn't bear to touch the pink and tender meat pads. Get a needle.

Finally, hearing someone talking outside, Xiao Nan knew that she couldn't delay any longer, she gritted her teeth, grabbed one of the little guy's front paws, and stuck the silver needle in the other hand.

"Woo~~" The puppy whimpered in pain when someone came suddenly.

Xiao Nan hurriedly took out the prepared milk from the Taoyuan, dipped some in a clean handkerchief, and gently put it on the little thing's mouth.

The puppy smelled the milk, sniffed, stuck out its pink and tender tongue, and sucked the handkerchief soaked in milk.

Xiao Nan dripped the puppy's blood on the bracelet, looking expectantly at the blood beads rolling on the narrow jade bracelet.

After a while, under Xiao Nan's eager gaze, the drop of blood seeped into the jade bracelet, and finally disappeared.

Xiao Nan breathed a long sigh of relief, "Huh, she knew that this method really worked.

It turns out that according to the rules of Taoyuan, below a certain level, the corresponding animals and plants cannot enter the space at all.

But Xiaoqing children's shoes have become an exception.

At that time, Xiao Nan didn't care about it, he only thought that there was something wrong with Taoyuan, and he didn't investigate it carefully.

Xiaoqing's way of helping with the farming later made Xiao Nan realize this, and she suddenly remembered that since the discovery of Taoyuan in her previous life, Xiao Nan had never seen any exceptions in Taoyuan.

Whether it is the upgrade rules or the time difference ratio in Taoyuan, they are all carried out in strict accordance with the established regulations.

Why Xiaoqing became the only exception?
You must know that according to regulations, Taoyuan must be upgraded to level five before the mountain forest can be opened, and birds and beasts that grow in the mountain forest can enter Taoyuan.

When she first got Taoyuan in her previous life, Xiao Nan didn't know about this rule. At that time, she was only interested in getting excited, and was happily busy trying to grow various fruits and vegetables.

Until one day, she suddenly discovered that there was a problem with her approach: the farmers in Datang still knew how to save labor by farming oxen, but she, a highly educated time-traveling woman from the 21st century, was still farming the land with her own hands!She two? !
Realizing his mistake, Xiao Nan immediately ordered people to get farm tools such as cattle and plows, found an empty yard, and took the cattle in.

However, what puzzled Xiao Nan was that she had experimented several times, and she could get in by herself, as well as the agricultural tools, but the cattle remained where they were.

After a little bit of exploration and conclusion, Xiao Nan realized that her Taoyuan was different from the space described by someone Sa——Taoyuan cannot enter birds and animals if it is not upgraded to the fifth level; if it is less than the seventh level, it cannot raise fish; Level [-], you can't raise cattle... It's nothing to say, let's level up, dear!

In this life, Xiao Qing was an exception, but Xiao Nan couldn't help but wonder if there were other possibilities to enter the space.

Thinking of this, Xiao Nan tried his best to recall how Xiaoqing entered the space that day.

After thinking about it for a long time, Xiao Nan finally remembered that she had taken Xiao Qing to play throwing pots in the garden that day.Seeing that Xiao Nan was having a lot of fun, Xiao Qing also flew over to join in the fun.

As a result, Xiao Nan missed, and the arrow used for throwing the pot flew out, brushed Xiao Qing's wings, and landed on the ground with a few feathers and traces of blood.

Xiao Qing was so frightened that she thought she was making too much noise and angered Xiao Nan, so she flew to Xiao Nan's side in a panic, begging for mercy.

Xiao Nan was also taken aback, seeing the little guy's pitiful appearance, he hurriedly stretched out his hand to signal Xiaoqing to get down.

Well, Xiao Nan vaguely remembered that at that time, it seemed that what she stretched out was her left hand, and the blood on Xiaoqing's body was also very likely to be on the bracelet.

Xiao Nan opened the Taoyuan with blood, and signed a blood contract with it, so he is called the master of this world, and he can freely enter and exit without being restricted by Taoyuan.

As for Xiaoqing, its blood was also stained on the jade bracelet, so it signed a blood contract with Taoyuan in a disguised form.It's just that it's not a higher organism, and Taoyuan has already recognized its master, so Xiaoqing can't replace her as the master here.

But they got extra benefits, that is, they can get rid of the restrictions of Taoyuan level and can enter and leave Taoyuan.It just needs the permission of the host, that is, Xiao Nan.

It is precisely because of this blood contract that Xiaoqing becomes more and more clever, and she and Xiao Nan can connect with each other.

Xiao Nan even wondered for a while whether Xiaoqing's blood contract was a bit similar to the so-called soul contract.No matter what animal it is, signing this contract will create a subordinate relationship with her? !

After discovering this, Xiao Nan's mind was filled with messy speculations and fantasies, and he even had the urge to use Taoyuan to manipulate things.

Fortunately, Xiao Nan is not the naive and reckless little girl in her previous life. After a short period of fantasies and fantasies, she gradually regained her composure.

The restlessness in his bones also disappeared without a trace.

Although suppressing that inexplicable ambition and desire, Xiao Nan still decided to test his speculation first.

At first, Xiao Nan didn't know that Wang You'an gave her a Fulin dog.In her plan, she wanted to try it with cattle.

But it is better to have a puppy, which is small and unobtrusive.

Xiao Nan picked up the puppy, and with a thought, he entered Taoyuan.

After entering, Xiao Nan didn't care about anything, and looked down into his arms.

"Woo, woo~~"

The little guy nestled obediently in Xiao Nan's arms, his big black grape-like watery eyes rolled around, looking around curiously and joyfully.

It worked!
Xiao Nan's heart burst into ecstasy, wishing he could pick up the puppy and kiss him fiercely.

It was the remaining rationality in her mind that reminded her that Datang didn't have a rabies vaccine, and the dog didn't know if it was sick yet.If the little guy follows suit and 'kiss' her, the consequences will be serious.

Taking a deep breath, Xiao Nan happily carried the puppy out of Taoyuan, and put it on the kang.

This time, the little guy didn't roll around on the kang like before. It nestled obediently on the edge of the kang, with its little paws hugging Xiao Nan's cloak, with a face of trust and satisfaction.

Seeing this, Xiao Nan's heart skipped a beat. Thinking of her previous speculation, she hurriedly sat next to the puppy, stroked its soft fur, and said softly, "Little guy, how about I give you a name?"

The puppy's ears moved, as if he understood, and looked at Xiao Nan expectantly.

Xiao Nan was more certain about his previous guess, and continued: "Well, I'm very happy to see you today, and I like you very much. How about calling it Daxi?" Joyous, what an infringement.

Xiao Nan thinks that the current practice of naming names according to rankings and numbers is very good, saving time and effort.

Look, she now has ten Fulin dogs. If each of them has a nice and auspicious name, it will take too much brain cells.

It's much simpler to name them by number according to the ranking. Well, this is just the first dog that signed the blood contract, and it's called Daxi, the second dog is called Erxi, and so on for the rest.It's just so convenient.

"Woo~" Daxi Children's Shoes yelled cheerfully. It seemed that it had no objection to the name.

"Hehe, you like it? Great, I like it too. Well, let me think about it, how can I bring you home?!"

Xiao Nan likes pets, but he also knows that with Datang's medical condition, rabies cannot be treated at all.She is pregnant now, so she should be more careful about everything.

Now she wants to take a group of dogs back to raise, let's be honest, the eldest lady disagrees, even Yuhan and the others don't agree.

……

At noon, Xiao Nan ate something briefly, and went back to the East Wing to take a nap. He was going to look around in the afternoon, and asked if there was any hunter who was good at training dogs.

"Dog training? Oh, my lady can find Hou Erlang."

The one who spoke was the cook from the farm, about 30 years old, white and fat, and she could tell she was a cook just by her physique.

She is also an old man in the farm, but unlike Hou Wendong, she signed a deed of living with the Xiaoliu family.

When the farm was exchanged, Wang Youan saw that she was honest and good at cooking, so he changed the contract with Liu Si'an, and the cook became Xiao Nan's hired worker.

The cook's surname is Jia, and her husband's surname is Dong. Everyone in the village calls her Mrs. Dong.

"Hou Erlang? But Guanshi Hou's younger brother?" Xiao Nan asked casually, sounding familiar.Seeing Madam Dong nodding again, she couldn't help but think of Hou Wendong's words, and asked wonderingly, "How is this Hou Erlang?"

"My lady, I dare not lie, Hou Erlang is indeed not a bad man,"

Madam Dong didn't know that Xiao Nan was the head of the county, she just heard that this noble lady was the new employer, and she originally signed the deed of living, and the employer was not the one who ruled life and death for her, so she could not There is not much scruples and shrinking.

She approached Xiao Nan, and said in a low voice: "It's just that Hou Erlang lost his father and mother when he was young, and the eldest brother is busy earning money to support the family, so he has no one to discipline him, and he hangs around with a bunch of street boys..."

Mrs. Dong's eloquence is quite good, and she insisted on telling the story of Hou Guanshi and his younger brother into a legendary story with twists and turns.

Speaking of which, the two Hou Wendong brothers are hard-working children.

Hou Wendong was even more difficult. When he was 16 years old, his family arranged a marriage for him. Just three months before the marriage, I died.

This is an era that advocates filial piety, so if Hou Wendong keeps filial piety for his father, the marriage will be ruined.

Three years later, Hou Wendong was 19 years old, and his fiancée and son who had been engaged before were able to play soy sauce.

Hou's mother was anxious, so she asked someone to tell her son about the marriage, but just after the Geng Tie was changed, Hou's mother fell ill.

Half a year later, Hou's mother also died of illness.

Well, filial piety is as great as the sky, and Hou Tongxie keeps filial piety for his mother, so the marriage will naturally fail.

Three years later, Hou Wendong is 22 years old.

Both parents died, so Hou Wendong's uncle and aunt took the initiative to help him arrange marriage.

It was very easy to find a good family, and the young lady also lived in Anshanfang, so the big guys were all fellow villagers.

At the juncture of the engagement, something happened to the Hou family again.

This time it's not the dead man, but the younger brother has become an 'idle man'.

"An idler? This is not an idler among the wealthy idlers like brother Baoyu." Xiao Nan lived in Tang Dynasty for two lifetimes, so he naturally knows what an idler means in this era.

Idler is a proper noun, referring to hooligans.

That is to say, if Brother Baoyu was born in Datang, no matter how much Sister Bao teases him, she can't call him a "rich and idler"—whom to scold? !
Back to the main story, at the moment of Hou Wendong's engagement, his younger brother Hou Wuliang was incited by a group of ruffians, so he rushed to get a tiger head tattooed on his shoulder on impulse.

It's bad now.

In the Tang Dynasty, tattoos were very popular, and the group of "Empress Zhenguan" were proud of their tattoos, and their patterns were refurbished. The scale of tattoos was definitely more non-mainstream than the non-mainstream of later generations.

What tattooed poems on the body, what tattooed landscape paintings on the body... only unexpected, nothing impossible.

In fact, there is nothing wrong with tattooing, it is also an art anyway.

The group of people who advocate tattoos are not good people, they have done all kinds of bad things like cheating, kidnapping and stealing.

In the end, tattoos = idlers = hooligans!

Hou Wuliang got a tiger's head and did nothing, so he became an 'idle person'.

When the woman heard this, she became terrified, let alone the Tang Dynasty, even in modern times, no parents would marry their daughter to a hooligan brother.

So, the marriage became dirty again.

Hou Wuliang saw that because of himself, he caused his eldest brother and even his soon-to-be daughter-in-law to fly away, and he was immediately ashamed. He drew a line with the group of friends on the spot, and obediently followed his brother to work in the farm from then on.

At this point, Mrs. Dong interjected, "Speaking of which, although Erlang has an irritable temper, he is extremely intelligent. You see, he has no one to teach him, but he just learned the good skill of taming animals. Whether it is What a ferocious beast, once in his hands, it only takes three to two months to tame it obediently."

Xiao Nan became interested. What she was looking for was a beast tamer. Now that she finally heard of one, she had to inquire carefully, "Really so powerful? Can lynxes and furling dogs be tamed? Yes. Now, he doesn't rely on whips and knives, does he?" Her Majesty the Queen is about to say this classic quote, right?
"No, don't look at Erlang who is frizzy when he gets along with people, but when he deals with those little beasts, he is very patient and rarely uses a whip."

Madam Dong quickly shook her head, seeing that Xiao Nan didn't believe her, she patted her chest and assured her: "I live next door to Hou's house, and I see him domesticating animals all day long, I have seen this with my own eyes, my lady dare not Telling half a lie."

Xiao Nan nodded, "That's good. Hehe, Mrs. Dong, keep talking!"

In fact, the story of Hou Wendong's two brothers is known to everyone around here.It's been a long time since Mrs. Dong met someone who didn't know anything, but this person was her new employer, and Mrs. Dong wanted to show off even more.

With a soft voice, Mrs. Dong continued to tell the story: "Erlang has indeed improved, but his bad reputation as an 'idler' has fallen. The little lady who had discussed marriage with Hou Wendong before, because she lived not far away, saw Erlang's performance with her own eyes. The little lady took care of Hou Guanshi again, and seeing that the only burden had been rectified, she persuaded the elders in the family to agree to the marriage. But—"

Something happened again.

This time it wasn't the Hou family, but it was also related to the Hou family, because something happened to Hou Wendong's fiancée.

"Speaking of Zhang San, he is really not a good guy!"

When Mrs. Dong mentioned the famous "idleman" in the workshop, her teeth were itchy with hatred.

If Hou Wuliang is a fake idler, then this Zhang Sanlang is a real hooligan through and through, but a hobgoblin, who doesn't care about it.

However, he did bad things. He said it was not big, but he was disgusting when he said it was small.

Send him to the government, at most he will be released after a few boards.

After returning, Zhang San intensified his efforts to harm the people who sued him.

As a result, people from all over the country were afraid of him.

As for Zhang San, he felt that it was a disadvantage to be beaten every time, so he heard a crooked idea from nowhere.

"...I found someone to tattoo the Four Heavenly Kings on his back. Be good, the craftsman's hand is also skillful, and he insisted on tattooing the Four Heavenly Kings like a real person." When Mrs. Dong mentioned Zhang San, she couldn't stop her mouth. The brakes were turned off, and he said all the bad things he had done in a chattering voice.

When Xiao Nan heard this, he probably thought of Zhang San's purpose for doing this, and interjected: "I know, if he does this, if he is brought to court, the guards will not dare to beat him."

The purpose of beating the board is to take off his clothes, and no one would dare to reach out and beat the prisoner if he saw the vivid painting of the four Buddhist heavenly kings on his body.

Isn't beating him the same as beating the Buddha?

People in the Tang Dynasty admired Buddhism, and ordinary people had an inexplicable awe of gods and Buddhas.

Let’s not talk about beating the portrait of the Buddha. Even if you say something disrespectful, you will have to worry about it for several days.

I have to say that Zhang San's method is similar to Tie Xuan's method of guarding the city gate back then.

Of course, this is for ordinary people, but orthodox Confucian scholars don't care about this.

Xiao Nan seemed to have thought of something, and said with a smile, "The current Jingzhao Mansion is from a Jinshi background. It's strange that you don't speak a word."

When Mrs. Dong heard this, she clapped her palms and laughed, nodded and said, "What you said is very true, haha. At that time, Yang Jingzhao's mansion had just taken office, and Zhang San was sent to the yamen again. Yang Jingzhao's mansion settled the case according to the law and sentenced him. Twenty sticks, as soon as he took off his clothes, the guards stopped. You looked at me and I looked at you, but no one did anything. Yang Jingzhao's mansion saw that he was angry, so he ordered the guards to beat him, and said that Zhang San was under the guise of Buddha After doing all the bad things, he will be the angry-eyed King Kong to punish him on behalf of the Buddha. As a result...haha, as a result, Zhang San was beaten to pieces and carried back home."

Xiao Nan nodded, that's right, "Yang Jingzhao's house still has a way, now Zhang San should calm down."

That's not right, if Zhang San was afraid of being beaten, why would he go and grab Hou Wendong's wife, forcing Hou Wuliang to almost stab him with a knife? !

Mrs. Dong curled her lips, "How could it be? Scoundrels like them will not forget to do evil as long as they have a breath. It was Yang Jingzhao's mansion who beat him, and he went to the yamen of Jingzhao mansion to ask for medical money two days later. Well, Yang Jingzhao laughed angrily."

Xiao Nan was dumbfounded, hehe, yes, this kind of rascal will never repent unless he gets a real lesson.

The violent rise of Hou Wuliang's children's shoes played the role of teaching Zhang San a lesson.

"Speaking of which, Zhang San should also fight. He knew that the little lady of the Wu family was negotiating marriage with Guanshi Hou, and he went up to propose marriage. The dowry gift made the Wu family angry. He actually carried A bullhead to propose marriage, is he proposing marriage, or harming someone?!"

Killing a cow is against the law, what if Zhang San framed the Wu family?

Xiao Nan was stunned for a moment, and then said: "Then, what does the Wu family say?"

"What else can I say? Xu Qian compensates for the good words, but that Zhang San killed as long as the young lady of the Wu family doesn't want to give Baiguan money." Mrs. Dong said with the same hatred, "Baiguan, he can speak like that Those of us who are small families may not be able to earn so much money in our lifetime, he is driving the Wu family and the Hou family to death."

Xiao Nan suddenly thought of a question, "Officer Hou is the steward of the Liu family. Could it be that Zhang San is not afraid of the Liu family in Hedong? Also, the lady of the Liu family is married to Lord Liulang of the Cui family in Boling. Zhang San doesn't know either?"
