Daqi has a strict hierarchy and clear distinctions. Once you become a servant, you will be a servant for the rest of your life. If you decide on the title of master and servant for one day, you will remain the title of master and servant for the rest of your life.
Servants and maids are the property of their master, and the master has the highest authority over them, including their bodies and lives.
The master can kill the servant, but the servant cannot resist, and at most he will be sued at the Yamen and fined some money; if the servant bullies the master, it is a treasonous act, which can range from being exiled to the army to being exposed to the public.
Mrs. Xie usually treats her servants very well. Although there is no such thing as a servant bullying the master, there will be slack after all. Today, Mrs. Xie suddenly turned against her, which really scared these servants to the point of trembling.
Agatha was so frightened that her pretty face turned pale, and the hands she held together on her lower abdomen were shaking uncontrollably, thinking that she had just stepped out of the tiger prison and entered the devil's cave.
Xie said sternly: "Li Chengfeng, let me tell you, don't be dissatisfied! The Northwest Zhan family was the marquis determined at the founding of the country! At that time, even our Li family did not dare to fight directly! Let alone now We are already in such a state of ruin! How dare you to fill in our whole family for the sake of one servant! It’s so amazing and majestic, isn’t it?”
Asba is an honest man. Mr. Xie asked him to hit him hard, and he was ruthless. After ten sticks, Li Chengfeng was hit with stars in his eyes. When he heard his mother's words, he couldn't help but said: "It's that bastard who took the initiative to find him." We’re in trouble!”
Xie said angrily: "Then if you see a tiger charging towards you, you also rush towards it?"
Li Chengfeng scratched his neck and said, "Of course, I will go up and kill it with one punch!"
Xie was so angry that she picked up the tea cup next to her and threw it at Li Chengfeng. It hit Li Chengfeng firmly on the forehead, which opened a gash on his forehead and blood flowed down his forehead.
Li Chengfeng didn't even wipe it, as if he didn't realize it, he said: "Someone with great power comes to bully us, so we swallow our anger, but there are so many people in this world who are more powerful than us! Do we all have to allow ourselves to be bullied?"
Mrs. Xie was so angry that she couldn't speak. She was trembling all over. She pointed at Li Chengfeng with trembling fingers: "You, are you really not afraid of causing the destruction of your family?"
Of course Li Chengfeng was afraid deep down in his heart, but after all, he was young and energetic. Now he was talking to his wife, and in front of so many servants, he certainly refused to give in. He said: "The soldiers will stop the water and the soil." Cover it up, I can’t afford to offend you, why can’t I hide! There’s nothing to be afraid of!”
Before Xie could speak, a voice suddenly came from outside: "Well said! There is nothing to be afraid of!"
Everyone followed the sound and saw the owner of the house, Li Chun, coming to the door dressed in a smart suit. He looked majestic and had sharp eyes. He was not at all confused as usual.
Although the elder often goes crazy, he is the head of the family after all. When he is sane, no one dares to make mistakes.
Li Chun glanced at him and said calmly, "I, the Xiyue Li family, have been famous for hundreds of years, and I am not afraid of anyone!"
Ms. Xie forced a smile and went down to the hall to greet Li Chun. She lifted Li Chun's elbows with both hands, supported him, and said softly: "Why are you here? Are you in good spirits today?"
Li Chun seemed as if he hadn't heard anything, and said seriously: "Aqi, don't be afraid of the Zhan family. The champion has lost his power, but he can't reach us! What's more, our Li family still has a treasure!"
Ms. Xie smiled bitterly. With so many servants here, she had to take care of her husband's face and followed him and said, "What treasure?"
Li Chun said word by word: "Gold medal for immunity from death!"
Everyone in the hall was shocked when they heard this. Lu Zhu, who had never dared to speak, said in surprise: "A gold medal to avoid death?"
Asba and Agatha looked at each other with a look in their eyes. Although they were from a different race, they also knew that there were only a handful of families in Daqi that had a gold medal to avoid death!
Ms. Xie was shocked and said: "Has our family ever had a death-free medal? How come I don't know?"
Li Chun was quite proud and said: "Our ancestors of the Li family once accompanied Emperor Shizong to help the Emperor Zhang Zhaoyang to encircle and suppress the demon king Sun Heluo, and made great achievements in rescuing the enemy at Tongxian Pass. For some reason, this gold medal for immunity from death is passed down!"
Mr. Xie was doubtful: "Then why haven't I seen it before?"
Li Chun smiled and said: "This death-free gold medal has been kept by the family heads for generations. You have never seen it."
Xie thought to herself: I have never seen that inch of skin on your body? I have never turned over those bricks in the Li family? Where is the gold medal to avoid death
It can be seen that Li Chun was serious about what he said, so Mr. Xie couldn't help but feel lucky: "Then the gold medal for avoiding death is now on you?"
Li Chun nodded and put his hand into his arms. The eyes of everyone around him suddenly widened. Even Li Chengfeng and Zhao Xiaobao were lying on the ground, trying hard to raise their heads and crane their necks to watch.
Li Chun took it out from his arms and held something in his hand. He raised it and said with a serious face: "Look, this is the gold medal for immunity from death!"
Everyone saw that the thing he held in his hand was white and soft, with a few fingerprints on it. It was clearly the white-faced steamed buns sold in Hutong Street for five cents each!
Su Yuehan, who was watching the show on the side, almost laughed, and the other servants also lowered their heads, all with sullen faces, thinking about the most tragic and painful thing they had ever experienced in their lives, with expressions of bitterness and hatred, lest they Laughter will come out.
Li Chengfeng covered his face with his hands, wishing he could find a crack in the ground to crawl in. Compared with being spanked in front of so many servants, he still felt that this scene was more embarrassing!
Xie didn't see anything strange. She forced a smile, her voice trembling slightly, and said to Lu Zhu on the side: "Luzhu, send the master back to rest."
Li Chun said in confusion: "Look, this is really a gold medal to avoid death! With this, the Zhan family dare not touch our Li family!"
"Send it back!!" Xie suddenly screamed hysterically, trembling all over.
Two healthy servants on the side came up quickly, picked up Li Chun on the left and right, and left quickly. Only Li Chun's shouts were still heard: "This is really a gold medal for immunity from death! Our family really has a gold medal for immunity from death!!"
The voice gradually faded away and became less audible. It took a long time for Ms.
Zhao Xiaobao was overjoyed, struggled to get up, and smashed his head on the ground: "Thank you, mother, for being so kind! Thank you..."
Xie suddenly said coldly: "You can avoid the death penalty, but you cannot escape the living penalty! Luzhu, go get a hundred taels of silver for Xiaobao and send him away!"
If Zhao Xiaobao was struck by lightning, he stayed where he was. For a moment, the hall was silent and you could hear a pin drop.
Li Chengfeng was even more stunned!
Li Chengfeng said excitedly: "Mom, no!"
Zhao Xiaobao suddenly kowtowed furiously, and the bluestone floor made a loud bang. He cried loudly: "Mom, Xiaobao knows that he was wrong!"
Mr. Xie had a sullen face and said nothing.
Zhao Xiaobao cried: "Xiaobao has grown up in Li's family since he was young. This is Xiaobao's home. If his mother drives Xiaobao away, Xiaobao will become a homeless ghost!"
Mrs. Xie remained unmoved and said with a heart of stone: "The state has national laws and families have family rules. If I can be forgiven today, what will happen tomorrow?"
Li Chengfeng said angrily: "Mom, if you drive Xiaobao away now, aren't you going to kill him?"
Xie said coldly: "If he doesn't leave, we will die. Aren't the lives of so many people here worth his life?"
When Zhao Xiaobao heard this, he suddenly became desperate. He turned around, took a few licks at Li Chengfeng, and said, "Xiaobao can no longer serve the young master. Young master, please take care of yourself!"
Li Chengfeng stared at his mother's face, as if to carefully identify her true intention. After a while, he stepped forward to help Xiaobao up, and whispered to him: "You go and we are hiding near Chengjia Village." Where the money is, take out all the hidden money, find a way to exchange it for silver, and then wait for me there. If I don't go there in three days, you can find me as you see fit."
Zhao Xiaobao nodded slightly, felt relieved, wiped his tears and followed Luzhu down.
…
There was a big fight under Liu Sumei's attic. Li Chengfeng defeated the strong with the weak. Although he won a big victory, he was still injured. When he returned home, he showed off his loyalty and was beaten hard. Xiaobao was beaten by his own family again. My mother kicked me out of the house. After this series of blows, Li Chengfeng was helped to the bed and couldn't hold on anymore.
"How is the young master now?" Lu Zhu sat beside Li Chengfeng's bed and looked at Mr. Xie nervously.
Ms. Xie checked Li Chengfeng's pulse and frowned tightly: "His pulse is very messy now, and his muscles and bones have been injured..."
Li Chengfeng struggled and stretched out his hand to grab Mr. Xie's wrist, and whispered: "Mom! Xiaobao and I are brothers and sisters. He has offended the Zhan family again. If you drive him away, he will definitely die!"
Xie was silent for a while, then she looked at Lu Zhu, who immediately understood. She walked to the door, looked around, and then closed the door. Seeing this, Su Yuehan also came to the window and lowered the window.
Luzhu looked at her strangely, as if he didn't understand why she didn't go out consciously.
Xie noticed her doubts and smiled slightly to show his trust in her. Luzhu also nodded slightly towards Su Yuehan, looking at her with observation.
Xie said to Li Chengfeng: "We are leaving Cheng'an!"
To Lu Zhu and Su Yuehan's surprise, Li Chengfeng did not show surprise. He was silent for a while and said, "When will you leave? After worshiping the ancestors?"
Xie thought for a while and said: "We will leave on the day of the ancestor worship, so as not to attract attention. The whole family worshiped the ancestors outside the city, and then took the waterway directly to Yongle City in Lu County in the south."
Li Chengfeng asked: "Why Yongle?"
Xie said: "I settled several properties there two years ago, and it is also very close to the religion."
Li Chengfeng asked again: "So, today we just killed the chicken to scare the monkey?"
Xie said slowly: "It's time to straighten out the rules in this family."
Li Chengfeng struggled: "But, what should I do with Xiaobao?..."
Ms. Xie interrupted him and said: "The state has national laws, and families have family rules! Don't talk about this anymore! You take good care of your injuries. In three days, you will worship your ancestors. You will still have to deal with it then."
After saying that, Mr. Xie stood up and walked out.
She came to the door, opened it, and suddenly saw pieces of snowflakes falling from the sky. They were scattered at first, and then the sky was full of goose feathers, and the sky was gray. A piece of white snowflakes that look like flowers but are not flowers are everywhere.
Xie took a breath, and a stream of white air came out of her mouth, and then steamed up. She stared blankly at the floating mist, and whispered softly: "It's snowing."
