Chapter 28
Hong Fei panicked and knelt on the ground, Zhao Hua leaned over to help him up, and asked in a low voice, "What's the matter for you? Tell me, I will help if I can." Hong Fei raised his head, with fear in his eyes, slowly Standing up slowly, he gave another salute and said, "I wanted to get to know you better before I dared to open my mouth, but now the matter is urgent and I can't take care of it. I don't know if the young master will dislike the humble status of a villain, so he is hesitant."
Zhao Huawen said: "Just say it, why would I dislike your identity?"
Only then did Hong Fei plead in a low voice: "Young master, I have saved some money in the past few years and planned to redeem myself, but the servant next to me suddenly heard that Mammy wanted to sell me Go to the museum. The place is very messy, there is death but there is no life. So I can’t wait to get to know you better, so I took the liberty to come here, because I have talked with the young master twice, and I know that the young master is benevolent and benevolent, so I am bold enough to ask The young master is helping each other, and I have the silver for the redemption, so as long as the young master comes forward, it will be fine."
This is a trivial matter, but if it is urgent, I am afraid that the old bustard will make things difficult, and I am afraid that it will cost a lot of money. Walk on behalf of the palace.Thinking of this, he replied: "I'll help you with this matter, you go back first, and I'll do it right away."
Hong Fei immediately fell to his knees and kowtowed, then stood up and took out a few banknotes from his pocket, handed them to Tao Linghua and said, "This is my entire net worth, my lord, please take pity on me." After speaking, he kowtowed again.Zhao Hua stopped him with his hand, and replied: "Go ahead, I will be careful." Hongfei bowed his head and went out.
Zhao Hua returned to the room with the bank ticket in his sleeve, Tao Linghua said with a smile: "What kind of guest is here? Second brother doesn't need to accompany him?"
"It's okay, there is a small thing." Zhao Hua thought for a while and decided to tell Tao Linghua, so that he would not misunderstand him if he found out in the future.While mixing the medicine in the small medicine jar, he said with a smile: "The way I cure you is specially learned from the Liufeng Nanguan. You want me to help you redeem your body, so I just saw him today. But I will only help him redeem his body, I won’t do anything else, so don’t worry.”
Tao Linghua blushed and nodded, and said with a smile: "Well, saving people from suffering is a good deed. It just costs a lot of money, right?"
"No, he has his own money, I'm just helping out." Zhao Hua secretly laughed at little Tao Tao, who was quite considerate, afraid of spending too much money.
After lunch, Zhao Hua left Zhao Xing to serve Tao Linghua at home, and went to Dai Wang's mansion to find the third son Zhu, and asked him to send a housekeeper to follow him to help him bargain. Otherwise, buy it and enjoy it yourself.Zhao Hua quickly fled with the butler.
When the palace came out, the old bustard in Nanguan didn't dare to ask for more. After all, he was begging for food under his nose. How could he dare to offend him? He released him with 200 taels of silver unwillingly, and then went to the government to remove his registration. With people from the palace, everything went well. .After finishing the matter, Zhao Hua gave the steward ten taels of silver, and the steward went back to the palace to deal with business. Zhao Hua asked Hong Fei, "Do you have a place to go now?"
Hong Fei shook his head and said, "I haven't had time to find a place to settle down yet."
Zhao Hua pondered for a while, and said: "Otherwise, you can stay with me for a few days first, and it won't be too late to move when you find a place."
Hong Fei asked with tears in his eyes: "Are you disturbing the young master too much?"
Zhao Hua shook his head, leading the way.
When they got home, they brought him to meet Tao Linghua first. Hong Fei wanted to kneel down to salute, but Tao Linghua quickly smiled and said, "No, let's call him a friend. I don't know your last name yet."
Hong Fei stood up and bowed, "Zhesha is a little kid, my surname is Hong, and my name is Jin."
"Oh, where is your hometown? Is there anyone in your family?" Zhao Hua thought about sending the Buddha to the west. If he had a family, he could send him home.
Hong Jin shook his head and said, "My father has been an official in this place. After resigning, he suddenly fell ill. My mother had no way to ask for help, and she also fell ill. Both of them passed away. I was 15 years old, and I was kidnapped and sold into that place. I stayed here for four years, I grew up here, I have never been back to my hometown, and I don’t know each other.”
Also a poor man.Tao Linghua couldn't help but feel pity for each other, and said, "Just stay here, and we'll talk about it when you have somewhere to go."
Hong Jin was extremely grateful.For him, it was a good thing that fell from the sky.At first, I thought that I couldn't be spared and that I would die, but I didn't expect that Mr. Zhao really kindly helped me, and I couldn't be more fortunate than this.He got up and saluted Zhao Hua: "I am really grateful to Mr. Zhao for saving me, but I just don't know how to repay you."
When Zhao Hua heard this, he thought of Tao Linghua's words of repayment, and was a little depressed, so he quickly said, "It's a little effort, no need, you must be tired, I'll arrange a room for you to rest."
Upon hearing this, Hong Jin stood up quickly and said, "Thank you very much, then I won't disturb Mr. Tao's rest."
As soon as Hong Jin got out of the sea of suffering, he felt at ease physically and mentally, and smiled with open eyes, which was different from the pretentious smile of the past.
After staying for three days, Hong Jin thought in his heart that he still had some money on his body. Mr. Zhao liked Mr. Tao at first glance, so he moved out earlier because he was afraid that he would be an eyesore here.Just got up and said goodbye.
Zhao Hua said: "You don't have a job, and you don't have any friends. How do you live outside? You should live here first, and wait for us to find a way for you."
In fact, Hong Jin really wanted to stay here. After all, his status was low. Even if he quit his citizenship, there would be no acquaintances willing to help him. Someone could help him, but he couldn't ask for it. Therefore, he stayed here.Hong Jin was diligent, able to read and write, and helped Zhao Hua with everything. He also helped with cooking and laundry at home. Although he was not very good at what he did, he was very hardworking.The inside and outside of the house are also neatly tidied up, wearing only commoner clothes every day, with a clean head and face, no different from ordinary young people.
Tao Linghua has limited mobility, so he also helps to take care of him every day.
Because of the similar age, it makes sense. It turns out that Hong Jin is also from Zhejiang, but his family is in Jinhua. He came here with his parents when he was eight years old. He lived here for seven years. He has never been back to his hometown.Because they are both from Zhejiang, Hong Jin still remembers a lot of their hometown dialect, so sometimes they speak with their local dialect. Although they are not the same, they sound the same to outsiders, which is very lively.
Ten days later, Zhao Tai came back. He was riding a horse with a knife in his hands, his arms were wrapped in gauze, and there were some bloodstains on them. He thought he was injured.When Tao Linghua saw that Zhao Tai was injured, he hurriedly got off the kang and ran out, but he didn't dare to run any faster, so he anxiously moved on the ground.Zhao Tai tossed the reins, laughed loudly, strode over to pick him up, twirled around, kissed him hard on the face and said, "Did you miss Big Brother?"
Tao Linghua saw that Zhao Hua, Zhao Xing, and Hong Jin were all there, and he struggled quickly. Fortunately, the injuries on his body were healed, and there was no pain. Put him down, wash up first, re-bandage the wound, and ask about the situation at home these days by the way.
Because I saw one more person.He asked Zhao Hua what was going on, Zhao Hua briefly said, and Zhao Tai didn't have any objections, anyway, he didn't miss a bite of food.
Around evening, Zhao Xing came to the backyard to report, saying that Mr. Gao had come.This old Gao is too addicted to alcohol, always chasing others to drink with him, Zhao Tai didn't want to go out, so he pretended to be sick, but Lao Gao always found the backyard.Zhao Hua had no choice but to welcome him out.
Just as Hong Jin helped prepare the meal and was about to take it out, Zhao Xing asked him to bring some water back, Hong Jin went out with the wooden barrel and walked to the sidewalk, and met Lao Gao face to face, there was nowhere to hide.Lao Gao was a little surprised, but Hong Jin's face faded all of a sudden, and he wanted to turn around and go back, but he had already seen it, so he couldn't pretend he didn't see it, so he had to put down the bucket, bowed his head slightly and made a bow.
Lao Gao raised his chin with a smile, and said with a little teasing: "Why are you here? When will you go back? I haven't seen you for so many days. I miss you. I'm going to look for you again. I'll wash up tonight and wait for me."
Hong Jin didn't speak, just lowered his head slightly, picked up the bucket, and left in a panic.
Lao Gao waited for a meal here before leaving.
Zhao Xing couldn't find Hong Jin anywhere, so he went to the inner room and asked his master, Zhao Hua asked strangely, "Isn't he with you?"
Zhao Xing said: "I asked him to fetch water, but he didn't come back. That's why I looked for him everywhere."
Several people searched for someone everywhere, found the house where he lived, found that the bedding was tidy, and the house was cleaned. When they opened his closet, they found that all the clothes were gone. Looking at the table, there was a letter under the inkstone, Zhao Hua It was opened strangely, and everyone looked at it, and there were a few words written in a hurry: Gongzi Taijian: I am grateful for being saved, I will never forget it, but I have something to do now, I have no choice but to leave without saying goodbye, please forgive me, the great kindness will be repaid in the future.Hong Jin bowed his head.
Monk Zhang Er couldn't figure it out.Why do you have to leave when you live well?
I don't know when he left. If it's been an hour since before dinner, he would have gone far away, and there is nowhere to go after him. He must have a place to go. Fortunately, he has money. Don't be afraid of running out of food.After thinking about it for a long time, I had nowhere to start, so I had to talk about it tomorrow.
But at night, Zhao Tai lay next to Tao Linghua after washing.He thought it over, it doesn't matter whether this little thing is for gratitude or sincerity, it doesn't matter, it's real anyway if you get it, and you have to hold on to it even if you stalk it!So now I don't care what other people think, just stick to it and joke around.
Tao Linghua knew that he had an idea, and he was full of gratitude, and it was hard to refuse, so he half-pushed and half-obeyed.When Zhao Hua entered the room, he happened to see two people with half undressed clothes, panting.He couldn't help being angry and said, "Brother, he's not in good health yet!"
Zhao Tai couldn't help it, but he also knew that Tao Linghua was not in good health, so he had no choice but to stop, but the iron pestle was furious, and he learned the pose of raising fire to burn the sky.Tao Linghua secretly smiled, but seeing Zhao Hua was there, he couldn't comfort his eldest brother, so he had to cover his face with a quilt and pretend to sleep.
Zhao Hua also went to the kang to lie down.
The three were sleeping, and now Tao Linghua was in the middle, and the two brothers were on the two sides, so that Zhao Tai felt that he was not at a disadvantage.
Seeing that Tao Linghua didn't refuse now, Zhao Tai went one step further with joy, so he secretly put his hand into Tao Linghua's quilt, pulled his hand back into his quilt, and placed it on his lower abdomen.Tao Linghua understood, lightly held the iron rod, and moved slightly.
Zhao Hua sat up abruptly and said, "Tao Tao, don't spoil your elder brother, he won't solve it by himself?"
Tao Linghua's face turned purple when he saw that, so he had no choice but to withdraw his hand, Zhao Tai was a little embarrassed.When the lamp was turned on and the room was dark, Zhao Tai couldn't bear it anymore and stretched out his hand again. Tao Linghua was afraid that his second brother would notice, so he had to do it carefully for him without making a sound.Over there, Zhao Hua got up again, and this time he went down to the kang.Tao Linghua quickly sat up and said, "Second brother, what's wrong with you?"
Zhao Hua snorted from the bottom: "I'll go to sleep over there." After speaking, he pulled the quilt.Tao Linghua hurriedly grabbed him and said, "Second brother, it's mine. Don't leave. If you leave, it seems that I have provoked your brother's friendship. In this way, I will go over." After speaking, he got up.Zhao Tai jumped up, got off the kang, went to the table, lit the candles, and the room was instantly lit up.
Zhao Tai wrinkled his nose and said with a smile: "Master Zhu, the sage of Confucius, is not as noble as you. Well, second child, I am your brother, why are you competing with me? I don't believe you don't want to. Look?" Pointing at Zhao Hua pants Road.Tao Linghua followed Zhao Tai's finger and smiled "puchi".It turned out that Zhao Hua had also appeared earlier, and the shape was exactly the same.So he said with a smile: "Second brother, there is no need to be like this. The younger brother is not just repaying a favor, you don't have to suffer yourself like this. Come up, you are gone, I can't stay here anymore."
Zhao Hua couldn't hide his thoughts anymore, and couldn't leave anymore, so he came to the kang.Now that the window paper was pierced, the three of them were no longer pretentious. Tao Linghua said: "Big brother, second brother. I like you too, and being with you is the happiest. If I can only be with men, of course I will Choose you. And as far as my situation is concerned, how can I have the ability to marry a wife? I can't even keep myself. It's just that you two have to choose for yourself. Who will stay?"
Seeing that Zhao Tai did not relax, Zhao Hua might really be kicked out if he persisted, so he could only say: "Tao Tao, if you don't like it, I will definitely not force you. You don't dislike being with me now. Then I will never quit!"
Brother's two eyes meet each other, and neither will let anyone else. Tao Linghua is in a difficult situation. Whichever one he chooses will hurt the other. He doesn't want to do this, so he said: "Well, don't think about it for a while, go to sleep indiscriminately, and wait for any of you You can quit if you like me."
The two had no choice but to nod, the night was already deep, and it would be dawn after a few more hours of sleep.Blow down the lamp and fall asleep.
Of course, the hands on both sides did not stop.Just caring about Tao Linghua's body, no one is too much.
The next day, before getting out of the kang, Lao Gao came in a hurry, and asked, "Has Zhongxi woke up? I have something to ask you!"
Zhao Hua hurriedly got up and went out to the living room, whispering: "I'm here, Brother Gao! Be quiet."
Lao Gao asked in a low voice, "Where did Hong Fei go?"
