I studied abroad in modern times

Before Zheng Fa could respond, a middle-aged man walked out of Zhuangzi.

"Guanshi Huang, why are you here?"

The person who spoke was also a tall and thin man, who looked very similar to Wang Gui. He was Wang Gui's father, the steward of the farm.

He was looking at the fat middle-aged man next to Huang Yu with eagerness.

The fat middle-aged man took Huang Yu out of the car, but he just nodded to him slightly coldly and did not exchange too many greetings.

Huang Yu pulled him to Zheng Fa and introduced: "This is my dad. I told my dad about you and said I wanted to come and see you."

The fat middle-aged man, who is Huang Yu's father, looked at Zheng Fa with a smile that was much wider than before. He looked at Zheng Fa with gentle eyes: "Zheng Xiaoyou, since Huang Yu has an old relationship with you, I ask you to call me a virtuous person." nephew?"

Zheng Fa nodded and looked at the father and son, wondering what they were here for.

"Huang Yu is a useless kid. In the past, I have always been worried about how he would be able to establish himself. But with a friend like you, I feel relieved." Huang Yu's father pointed to the carriage behind him: "He wants to come and see his friends, I think. It’s my first time to visit, so I brought some small gifts.”

Seeing that Huang Yu's father, Manager Huang, was very cold to him and overly enthusiastic towards Zheng Fa.

Of course, Manager Wang's face didn't look good.

But he could only endure it.

Although they are both stewards of the Zhao family farm, he has only been in the position for five years, and steward Huang - I heard that he has been the steward of the farm for more than three generations.

What's more, even if they are all farms, the farm managed by Huang Guanshi is larger than his own in terms of output and area.

There is still a clear gap between the two in the Zhao family's status.

When people give him cold looks, he can only endure it.

Wang Gui, who was on the sidelines, also noticed his father's displeasure, and he was even more dissatisfied with this man's kindness to Zheng Fa.

Seeing Manager Huang leading Zheng Fa towards the carriage, he couldn't help but raise his head and poke his head inside the carriage.

Opening the curtain of the carriage, two large boxes appeared in front of everyone.

Zheng Fa's mother also heard the noise at this time, walked to Zheng Fa's side, grabbed Zheng Shan's little hand and looked at it.

Huang Yu's father opened one of the boxes with a smile. Inside were several pieces of cloth. The material was not of good quality, but it was new cloth after all.

"These are some pieces of cloth that my wife ripped off earlier. I had a dream that if this boy becomes the Seventh Young Master's pupil, I will make him some decent new clothes." He glanced at Huang Yu, a little bit annoyed that iron could not become steel. mean.

Huang Yu shrank his neck.

"Now that my nephew is able to serve the Seventh Young Master, these pieces of cloth will be my gift. My nephew, please don't be too humble."

Zheng Fa turned his head and glanced at his mother, who shook her head slightly towards him.

"Uncle Huang, it's not that my nephew dislikes it, it's that he doesn't get rewarded for his efforts..."

"Hey, a few pieces of cloth are nothing?" Manager Huang interrupted Zheng Fa's rejection with a smile: "I just said that I am an only son. He is lucky to have such a good friend like you."

Zheng Fa glanced at Huang Yu who was standing aside. His face turned red and he looked down without looking at him.

"Brother Huang and I hit it off right away, we don't need this..."

"If you say this, then you are my junior. Isn't it more appropriate for me to give this junior a little greeting gift?"

Seeing that Zheng Fa wanted to speak, he waved his hand again and opened another box.

Contained inside is a set of pen, ink, paper and inkstone.

"Since you are going to study with the seventh young master, you should also get a set of these four treasures of the study. I happen to have a lot of them at home, so I brought them to you for not much money... Again, don't dislike them."

"Uncle Huang, you..." Zheng Fadu couldn't help but smile bitterly.

Although Huang Yu's father always said not to dislike it.

However, whether it was pen, ink, paper, inkstone, or new cloth, they were all things Zheng Fa really needed.

He even thought ahead than Zheng Fa.

It can be said that he is sincere and considerate. Zheng Fa wanted to refuse, but he didn't know how to speak at the moment.

As if sensing Zheng Fa's hesitation, Huang Yu's father laughed and asked Huang Yu to move the two boxes of things out of the carriage. He actually said directly: "My dear nephew, I still have something to do with the village. Let's go first."

After saying that, without waiting for the two of them to react, he galloped his horse, whipped his whip, turned around and ran away.

Prominent one does not give Zheng Fa a chance to speak.

Huang Yu moved the box and stared blankly at his father's retreating figure, his mouth wide open: "Dad! Where's me? I didn't get in the car!"

"Huang Yu, just stay here, I'll pick you up tomorrow!"

Zheng Fa: "..."

Looking at Huang Yu and then at the two boxes, he suddenly felt a little headache.

But it was not easy to leave him here at this time, so the two simply took a box each and walked towards Zheng's house.

The little girl followed a few people with a food box in her hand.

As for Wang Gui and others...

Didn't speak, didn't want to speak.

Fortunately, there was a food box sent by the old man driving the car, so there was something to entertain Huang Yu at home.

But when sleeping, Huang Yu and Zheng Fa can only sleep in the same room.

After dinner, Huang Yu sat in Zheng Fa's room, pursed his lips and remained silent for a long time, then suddenly said: "Actually, it was my father who asked me to come."

"I know."

"My father has always said that I am ignorant." Huang Yu did not look at Zheng Fa, but continued: "I'm afraid that after he dies, no one will protect me."

Zheng Fa nodded.

Huang Yu is obviously not the kind of person who has many things to do.

It can be seen in the water pavilion that he wanted to curry favor with the plateau, but was so angry that he gave up after being told a word.

"He first asked me to compete for the position of the Seventh Young Master's servant, and then he told me that he just wanted me to get to know someone like you. He said that if I became the Seventh Young Master's servant, he was afraid that I would bring trouble to the whole family."

Speaking of this, Huang Yu leaned back, resting his hands behind his head, looking at the roof, a little depressed: "The adults are so annoying, they think too much."

Zheng Fa sat next to him and suddenly said: "You have a good father."

"Ah?"

"Your father should have some status in the Zhao family." Zheng Fa could also see this from the attitude of Manager Wang towards Huang Yu's father: "I am just a servant. I am not sure whether I can help you in the future. Why did he send these things to me from so far away?"

"...for me."

Zheng Fa shrugged.

"So, don't you think he is..." Huang Yu blushed: "snobbish?"

"Who in the world is not snobbish?" Zheng Fa smiled: "Let's fight over whether the book boy is snobbish? Who is born to serve others? Are you cheap?"

"What you said..." Huang Yu looked at Zheng Fa with shock: "Disrespectful! We have been members of the Zhao family for generations. Isn't it right to serve them?"

Zheng Fa stopped talking.

Huang Yu was stunned for a while, and suddenly said: "Why do I feel that if I make friends with you, I may really get my whole family involved."

...

In the manor, Wang's family.

Wang Gui was still indignant: "When I was a book boy, why didn't anyone come to curry favor with me?"

"Yes, many people gave me money." Manager Wang took out a bundle from the bedroom: "But I borrowed money to make connections in order to make you the book boy of the seventh young master."

"Did the money others gave you go to pay off your debts?" Wang Gui felt that he understood.

"No, there are these." Manager Wang patted the bundle in his hand.

"That's quite a lot." Looking at the size of the bundle, Wang Gui was a little satisfied, but suddenly felt something was wrong: "Dad, where are you going with this bundle?"

"Of course, I'm sending it to Zheng Fa's family."

"Ah?"
