Chapter 655: Lord of the Town
The Prince of Zhen was placed by Gao Fengtian in a remote small village in Luo County. Originally, the Prince of Zhen thought that Murong Jie would arrange for him to go to Dazhou, but unexpectedly, he has not yet come under the feet of the Emperor. Although there is resentment, but these days are peaceful, No pursuers came to search.
There are only a few hundred people in the small village, and more than a hundred people died during the earthquake and epidemic. Now, there are only more than three hundred people left.
Gao Fengtian was kind to the people in this village. When he brought the king of the town, he said that he was a cousin from his country. He came here because of hardships and wanted to find a quiet place to live. The villagers were kind and treated him a lot. take care of.
Lord Zhen knows that his life is in the hands of others, so he doesn't dare to put on airs, but after all, he can't wash and cook, and after he contracted the epidemic, he always coughed and his health deteriorated a lot. In the village, he was called a lazy man.
Because he is Gao Fengtian's cousin, everyone didn't disrespect him, and occasionally came to help him cook. As for washing clothes and other housework, he had to do it himself.
For the first time, this prince who has been precious for half his life has tasted the hard work of being a small-headed commoner.
It really cost him half his life.
"Lazy man, won't you go to the fields again today?" Villager Chen Sange walked past his door and laughed jokingly.
Lord Zhen leaned against the door and said lazily, "I have a headache today."
"Didn't you say you had a stomachache yesterday? Why did it turn into a headache again today?" Brother Chen San knew that he was a person who used to pretend, so he couldn't help laughing at him.
"Yesterday I was hungry, so I had a stomachache. Maybe the medicine I took was wrong, but today I have a headache."
Gao Fengtian arranged it very well, and he was given an acre of land. As long as he worked hard, he would have food and drink.
However, this master can't even cook, how can he go to the fields?
Brother Chen San shook his head, "You're so lazy, when the harvest comes, you'll have nothing."
"I'll go to the ground tomorrow." Lord Zhen said aggrievedly.
Chen Sange left with his hoe on his shoulders, and said, "Come to my house for dinner. The old hen is dead, and my mother-in-law said I want to make soup."
"Okay, okay!" Lord Zhen's eyes glowed, and there was meat to eat, no matter what.
Ever since he came here, Gao Fengtian had eaten a meal of meat before he left. Afterwards, it was either sweet potatoes or taro, which made his stomach bloated and he farted all day long.
When Murong Jie and others arrived, Lord Zhen had just returned from eating at Brother Chen's house, biting a grass branch in his mouth, shaking his head in satisfaction.
"Back then, abalone's wing belly was not so delicious."
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw three people standing at the door of his house. He took a closer look, saw that it was Murong Jie, and sneered, "Hey, we have distinguished guests today!"
"I'm here to visit Brother Chu, Brother Chu's life is good!" Murong Jie said with a smile.
The king of Zhen pushed open the wooden door, entered the house and lit the oil lamp, "The humble house is simple, I hope I will not be rude to the distinguished guests!"
He was sitting on a chair, which was a low-footed chair, which was moved from the village chief's house. He was tall and always felt out of place when he sat on a low chair. However, he acted like a prince and looked up He raised his head, completely lost the laziness of the day.
In the room, apart from this chair, there is only one long bench.
He pointed out, "Please sit down, Prince Regent!"
Murong Jie was not polite either, and sat down with his clothes lifted.
"Brother Chu is really a person who can do great things, he can bend and stretch!" Murong Jie tried to make himself as sincere as possible, and he knew that he could bend and stretch from the time he proposed the deal in prison.
In order to live, he is quite shameless.
But if you can't live, what are you going to do? Come to think of it, he is a man of current affairs.
"Thirty years in Hedong and thirty years in Hexi, who can say what will happen in the future?" King Zhen sneered.
Xiao Tuo and Su Qing had no place to sit, so they walked around the room boredly, walked to the table, and took a look, "Sweet potato?"
"That's my king's dessert!" Lord Zhen glanced at him, and said slowly, "I've eaten too much meat, eat some sweet potatoes to relieve stagnation."
It seems that he is still the king of the town with countless fiefs.
"Good stuff, I'm hungry, can I have a piece?" Xiao Tuo likes to eat these grains the most, and he suddenly got an appetite.
"Eat, eat, look at how gluttonous it is!" Lord Zhen said contemptuously, he was full of meat, so naturally he didn't pay attention to those few pieces of sweet potatoes.
Xiao Tuo took the bowl and went to the dilapidated threshold to eat.
Murong Jie looked at his hopeless appearance, shook his head, and then looked at Prince Zhen, "I came today to ask Brother Chu about something."
Lord Zhen waved his hand, "If you want to talk about the world, I welcome it. If it involves matters in the court, I am sorry that I can't tell you."
"Brother Chu, the matter is very important." Murong Jie took out a piece of gold from his sleeve pocket and played with it intentionally or unintentionally, "I still hope that Brother Chu can tell you something."
Lord Zhen's eyes widened suddenly, with dreamlike and lovely bubbles, gold? With gold, he can eat meat without going to the ground.
In the past, he had countless golds. He really is not as good as a phoenix!
He coughed, tried his best to retract his eyes, swallowed his saliva, and wanted to change his position comfortably, but his body was sunk in the chair, and it was impossible to change his position, he could only move a little bit.
"The two people you brought here are your servants, right? How about this? I don't mean that this king is too ruthless. There are two clothes outside. Let them wash them, and then brush the pots and pans in the kitchen. Whatever you want to ask, this king will answer."
Xiao Tuo was eating sweet potatoes, he almost choked to death after listening to his words, he stretched his neck and swallowed, and said with difficulty: "We are not slaves."
"Since you ate other people's sweet potatoes, you have to wash the dishes. When washing the dishes, brush the pots and pans." Murong Jie ordered lightly, and then looked at Su Qing. Before he could speak, Su Qing automatically realized Authentic: "I'm going to do the laundry."
Xiao Tuo was very reluctant, "This is a woman's job, and I'm not a woman."
"Okay, let's go, washing the dishes won't kill anyone." Su Qing pulled his arm and dragged him out, and Xiao Tuo could hear angrily cursing from afar.
Seeing the two of them going out to work, Lord Zhen looked at Murong Jie with satisfaction... the gold in his hand, pondered for a moment, and said with some doubts: "The thing in your hand is somewhat familiar. This king used to have it. Can I give it to you?" Will you take a look, my lord?"
Murong Jie threw it over, and Lord Zhen caught it with one hand, put it in his sleeve pocket without even looking at it, and coughed, "Tell me, what's the matter."
Murong Jie watched his movements in one go and couldn't help but marvel, if this person really gains power in the future, he might be someone special.
Murong Jie looked at him and asked, "That's it. I want to know, what did the old lady of the Qin family tell you when she went to find you? Or what did she promise you? How did you trust her so easily?" If so, did you bring someone into the palace without any doubt? It stands to reason that this old lady is no longer in charge, and you heard that she was not a member of the main combat faction before, so you probably wouldn't believe her."
