"Identity! How can I mix up a legal identity..."
Zhao Guanren has been thinking about this all the way. In this era, it is difficult to move without identity, especially for an alien like him who parachuted into the city and has no record of entering the city.
"I'm not your son, you have identified the wrong person..."
A young man suddenly ran out from the alley, cursing and cursing with displeasure on his face. Zhao Guanren raised his head in surprise and saw an old woman lying on the ground crying, "Tian Sheng! Come back quickly, mother is waiting for you!" You, my son!"
"Sister! What's going on..."
Zhao Guanren walked up to a middle-aged woman. The woman ate melon seeds and said, "I'm crazy about my son. I heard that both of her sons were killed in battle. The youngest son came to the city to collect money, but halfway through, he was given by a thief." If you kill her, she will come here every day to cry out for her soul!"
"It's so miserable..."
Zhao Guanren murmured thoughtfully, the woman turned and went back to her small courtyard, and he immediately stepped forward and called out tentatively, "Mom!"
"..."
The old woman trembled all over suddenly, and raised her head tremblingly. After taking a closer look at Zhao Guanren, she suddenly got up and hugged him, crying loudly, "Son! You're back, mother! You are so miserable!"
"Mom! I'm fine, it's just that the money was robbed by thieves. I haven't chased after it for a few days..."
Zhao Guanren patted the old woman's back and comforted him softly, and the old woman grabbed his hand and said excitedly: "It's good to be back! You can earn more when the money is gone. Nothing is more important than anything else. Go back to dinner with mother, mother has done it." A table of delicious food is waiting for you!"
"okay!"
Zhao Guanren beamed with the old woman's arm, he had done a good job and good deeds, he had settled down, maybe he could get his identity mixed up, and when the time came, he would go to the north to find Bashan Spirit Pagoda, and then meet Lu Datou , the road will be unimpeded.
"Mom! What kind of place is this..."
Zhao Guanren looked at a house in surprise. The area of the house was not small, but it had obviously been unoccupied for a long time. Not to mention the door was rotten into two pieces of broken wood, and through the cracks, weeds could be seen. Broken yard.
"Why did you forget, this is your elder brother's house, isn't your brother's house ours..."
The old woman happily pushed the door open, and Zhao Guanren's heart sank as soon as he entered the door. This dilapidated place is actually more terrifying than a ghost house. At least there are not so many mosquitoes in the ghost house. Can make do.
"mother!"
Zhao Guanren asked depressedly: "Does our family still have money? Is the old house in the country still there?"
"How can there be no money..."
The old woman took out two strings of copper coins and a small piece of broken silver from her bosom, stuffed them to him and said with a smile: "I miss the old house, and we will buy it when you become a high-ranking official. The food is all in the pot." It's hot, eat it yourself, mother will call the servant over!"
The old woman ran out happily, looking like a rich old lady.
"Your servant? Don't go digging other people's graves..."
Zhao Guanren walked into the big house with a wry smile, fully appreciating what it meant to be barren. Apart from a pile of broken tables and chairs, there were only two old beds that looked decent, but the bedding was so dirty that no one could see it.
"Alas~ Sure enough, it's not a good thing to be cheap..."
Zhao Guanren walked into the kitchen and took a look. After removing the lid of the pot, there were only a few cornbreads, and a plate of bacon was covered with maggots. Fortunately, he was full before, so it's not a big problem if he doesn't eat tonight.
"Bian Nini! If you meet me, you will be unlucky for eight lifetimes, hehe..."
Zhao Guanren took out some firewood from the hearth, took a kitchen knife and rummaged inside and out, and found
A stack of yellowed drawing paper came, and then he whittled the charred firewood into charcoal, then found a wooden board as an easel, and hurriedly sat down at the table.
"Well! Let's draw a picture of a beauty coming out of the bath..."
Zhao Guanren began to use his pen wretchedly, thinking that he was also the second generation of a wealthy family back then, and he had participated in various art training classes, but he could hardly do piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, so he just got a glimpse of the art of painting. Dynasty started body art.
"Son! Let Yu Niang serve you tonight..."
The old woman rushed in suddenly, Zhao Guanren thought she had brought a ghost in, but when he turned his head, he was shocked.
Standing outside the door was a pretty little girl, wearing a red floral dress, with delicate features, petite figure, natural bangs, and a red rope tied at the end of her long hair.
"Yu Niang has seen the third young master!"
The little girl walked in gracefully, pinched her waist and bowed her knees very dignifiedly, and did not show any surprise in the face of the pretending Mr. Tian San.
"Uh~"
Zhao Guanren couldn't understand it. This girl looked at most fourteen or fifteen years old, so he covered the body sketch and asked, "Yu Niang, right! Why don't I remember that there is a girl like you?"
"The third young master may not know that the eldest young master bought the slave's house before his death..."
Yuniang stepped forward and said with a smile: "The young master said that he would find you a housekeeper, but the wife said that I was too young to serve others, so she asked me to go to Bian's mansion to learn to do things. Later, the young master died in battle. It's been four years, Madam didn't think of my slave's house until today!"
"Bian Mansion? Is it Bian Xianglan's family..."
Zhao Guanren rolled his eyes and asked, "What are you doing in the Bian Mansion? I heard that something happened in the Bian Mansion today. You should know Fifth Aunt, right?"
"Yes! Fifth Aunt is the Missy's steward..."
Yu Niang said in surprise: "How did the young master know that something happened? At noon, a burglar entered the mansion, and dozens of nurses failed to catch it. However, the slave's house is doing sweeping in the outer courtyard. The specifics are unknown, but the fifth aunt Don't allow people to talk about it, it's terrible!"
"Yu Niang! This is two days' meal money, you can buy it..."
Zhao Guanren put all the money on the table and said: "You can buy a few more bedding, no matter new or old, as long as they are clean, buy some oil lamps and candles, and if there is any leftover, buy me some shredded tobacco and toilet paper, right! How much is your monthly salary?"
"salary?"
"That month, the money..."
Zhao Guanren patted his head, and Yuniang said pitifully: "The servants of Bian's family, like the Nu family, have at least 500 yuan a month, but they say that I am not from the Bian family, and they only give some rewards during festivals. , usually not a penny!"
"damn it!"
Zhao Guanren slapped the table and said angrily: "These vampires don't pay for their work. I'll get you back with interest later, and I'll give you two shillings every month, pocket money!"
"Don't dare! The Bian family is rich and powerful, the young master doesn't have to worry about Yuniang..."
Yu Niang waved her hands in fear, her small appearance really made people feel distressed, let alone a fourteen or fifteen-year-old little girl in modern times, who is not a princess, let alone serving people, she can be considered capable if she can throw a piece of trash with her own hands up.
"Go! Go early and come back early..."
Zhao Guanren waved his hand lightly, and Yuniang ran out energetically. He turned his head and began to fool the cheap old lady. The old woman obviously had a mental problem. Sometimes she was sober and sometimes confused, but she was clear about her son. clearly.
'Depend on! The original surname is Zhang, I almost thought the surname was Tian...'
Zhao Guanren finally understood that the old woman's name was Zhang Li, and the youngest son's name was Zhang Tian.
Sheng, nicknamed Tian Sheng, the eldest brother and the second brother were originally military officers, but they died in battle one after another.
Only the youngest son ate, drank, prostituted and gambled, and lost all his family property. If the old lady hadn't kept suppressing him, he would have sold this house long ago.
"Hey~ Done!"
Zhao Guanren hid in the bedroom and finished the body sketch, but after thinking about it, he felt that one was not enough, so he lay down on the bed and drew two more, one drawing was more coquettish than the other, and the patient attached a flirting song Poetry is full of color and fragrance.
"Zhao Ziqiang! You wicked old fox..."
Zhao Guanren suddenly realized that something was wrong. He used traditional Chinese characters in his flirtatious poems, and wrote them very smoothly. This was all due to the fact that he had copied the "Tao Te Ching" hundreds of times. He came over and forced him to practice calligraphy.
"Third young master! Dinner is ready, please have a meal..."
Yuniang entered the room to salute in a regular manner, but the maids from this rich family were different, so Zhao Guanren threw down the charcoal pencil and got up, but just as Yuniang was about to go forward and make the bed, she suddenly exclaimed: "This... Isn't it Missy?"
"Huh? I painted so vividly, you can recognize it at a glance..."
Zhao Guanren looked at her in surprise, the little girl's face turned red, and she said shyly, "Young master's painters are superb, such a god-like painting, the servants will naturally recognize it, but... but how did the young master know that the young lady has a birthmark on her buttocks?" ?”
"How do you know..."
Zhao Guanren raised his eyebrows with a smirk, and the little girl said with a red face, "One time I went out of the city with the eldest lady to meet the supervisor, and the eldest lady suddenly became anxious. I accidentally saw it when I was serving, but such a secret thing, most people don't know about it." ah!"
"Your young master is not an ordinary person. She took off her pants for me to see, haha..."
Zhao Guanren pinched her little nose and swaggered out to eat. The little girl was embarrassed to clean up and followed him with her head down.
The purchasing power of this era is still very strong, and Yuniang actually cooked five dishes and one soup, but he was full of thoughts about how much money he should extort from Bian Xianglan, since it would cost a lot of money to go abroad.
"Yu Niang! Don't stand up, sit down and eat together, our family doesn't have so many rules..."
Zhao Guanren suddenly noticed Yuniang standing beside him, but just as the little girl waved her hands in fear, his old lady also frowned and said, "What is this called? How can the servants serve the table? If you say it, you can't make people laugh out loud. Although my family is not from a scholarly family, I still have to know etiquette!"
"Mom! You don't get confused when you talk about rules..."
Zhao Guanren smiled and shook his head, but after they had finished eating, Yuniang still couldn't eat, so she insisted on helping the old lady wipe her face and feet, and after the bed was made, she came to wait on Zhao Guanren, and when Zhao Guanren finished washing her feet and went to bed, Yuniang Dare to go to the kitchen to eat leftovers.
"What a feudal society..."
Zhao Guanren lay on the bed and looked at the top of the bed. At this time, he muttered again in his heart. This world is not parallel to his world, but it is the same when speaking and writing. Even many idioms and fairy tales are the same. Say something about Dayu's water control.
"Could it be that there were earlier traversers who came here..."
Zhao Guanren blinked his eyes and thought wildly, and habitually scanned around with his soul-chasing eyes, but he suddenly found two people squatting in the backyard, sneaking towards the latrine, and Yuniang was in the latrine for convenience.
"Damn it! You came to me, didn't you..."
Zhao Guanren jumped up from the bed in fright. Naturally, these two people couldn't be flower pickers, and nine out of ten people were sent by Bian Nini to kill him, and they might be two masters...
