Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    It has to be said that although the work assigned to Zhao Ran is terrible, at least the food in Wujiyuan is still delicious.  Zhao Ran followed the two "seniors" to the dining hall and took a look, feeling very relieved!

    Hundreds of people sat around a dozen large round tables. On each table were the standard four dishes and one soup, dried tofu, cauliflower, green bell pepper, pork and green onions. Each had a large bowl and another pot of green vegetable and tofu soup. Everyone  There is a pile of white rice on top!

    The landlord¡¯s family doesn¡¯t eat like this!

    Zhao Ran was so excited. It had been almost a year since he traveled through time, and he finally got through it.  He stared at the bowl of pork and green onions with dazzling eyes, eager to start eating it right away.  Fortunately, I still had some self-control in my heart, so I didn't make a fool of myself in public.

    As the chime made a ding-dong sound, Zhao Ran immediately picked up the chopsticks and started to pick up a piece of oily fat meat.  Unexpectedly, the little mung bean next to him slapped the back of his hand, and the chopsticks held by Zhao Ran almost stopped falling.

    Zhao Ran was furious and was about to get angry at Mung Bean¡¯s little eyes, but suddenly felt that something was wrong with the atmosphere.  Looking around, the other nine people on the table were staring directly at him. Some were disdainful, some were contemptuous, some were gloating, and some were laughing

    But he saw his small mung bean eyes and a smiling face apologizing to the long-bearded and red-faced Taoist opposite: "Brother Guan, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, haha, this Brother Zhao is new here today and doesn't understand the rules yet. Your Excellency,  Don¡¯t take it personally.¡±

    The red-faced Taoist squinted half of his eyes and glanced at Zhao Ran, but said nothing. The short Taoist sitting next to him turned red, and angrily scolded Zhao Ran: "What's going on? Do you understand the rules?" Then he shouted at Mung Bean Xiao.  Eyes yelled: "He doesn't understand the rules, don't you? Didn't you teach him before he came out? Pay attention next time, and if you do it again, don't eat it!" After scolding Mung Bean Little Eyes and Zhao Ran, the short Taoist smiled flatteringly at the red-faced Taoist  Said: "Second brother, I will pick up some food for you."

    Zhao Ran was confused by the lesson, and he hung up his neck and endured it. Only then did he notice that the red-faced "Brother Guan" had placed an empty bowl in front of him, and the short Taoist was pouring it into the empty bowl.  Pick up vegetables.  If the second brother Guan nodded, the short Taoist would take more. If the second brother Guan frowned, the short Taoist would take less. After a while, the empty bowl was filled with dishes.

    Especially the bowl of pork and green onions, the big pieces of meat were all put into Brother Guan's empty bowl, leaving only a few thin slices of meat scattered among the dense green onions, which made Zhao Ran's heart bleed.

    Brother Guan made a loud "hum" in his nose, picked up his chopsticks, and then everyone else on the table began to eat.  Zhao Ran was startled by the previous formation, and now he hesitated in his movements. When he reached his chopsticks into the vegetable bowl, there was still half a piece of minced meat?

    As a last resort, Zhao Ran took a green onion and put it in his mouth, sucking in the meaty aroma left in the green onion roll. He looked at the vegetable bowl filled with meat slices in front of brother Guan, and he didn't know how many times he had greeted his ancestors.  A hundred times.

    ??This meal proves that people are born with class nature. Even if they are at the bottom of society, they still have to be divided into different grades.

    "Unfortunately, Zhao Ran, who was classified outside the ninth grade, had a not-so-pleasant meal. After eating, he half-actively and half-passively accepted the re-education of mung bean eyes and triangular head.

    The big name of Mung Bean Eyes is Jiao Tan. He comes from a local gentry family in Guyang County. His ancestors were once the prefects of a certain place in Yunnan, but unfortunately they were a little far apart.  The triangular head is Zhou Huai, the son of Zhou Cangling from Gu Fengcang, Long'an Prefecture, but he is a concubine.  Both of them came from wealthy families. According to Zhao Ran's understanding, they were typical "Second Officials". The reason why they came to Wujiyuan to work as Huoju servants was simply to "fit in line with the trend."

    The Ming Dynasty was a dynasty strongly supported by the Taoist sect. Within the Ming Dynasty, anyone who wanted to keep their family rich and prosperous for a long time must rely on the Taoist sect.  The real high-ranking sects and those in power have their own clan members holding positions within the Taoist sect, while the lower level "small sects and small households" are racking their brains to get involved with the Taoist sect.

    The most typical example of the latter is that of Jiao Tan and Zhou Huai. Even if they work as Huoju household servants, their families still have to push them into Taoist gates.  On the one hand, even if you are a Huoju servant, you have spent some time in the Taoist sect, right?  At least they are familiar with each other, so if something happens to their family or something bad happens, they will have the means to go to the door and ask for help.  At the same time, as a disciple of the side branch, if you stay at home all the time, your future will be in trouble once you are unable to read. If you are "gilded" in the Taoist sect, you can return home in fine clothes after ten years if you are lucky. Even if you are unlucky, you can  With this qualification, it will be much easier to gain a foothold in the world and do anything.

    Jiao Tan and Zhou Huai both entered the Wuji Academy last year, less than a year earlier than Zhao Ran, and they were both assigned directly to sweep according to the rules. They can be regarded as brothers and sisters in the same batch.  Newcomers are always willing to stick together. Although Jiao Tan speaks in a shady manner, he is indeed protective of Zhao Ran.  Jiao Tan said, ZhouZhao Ran added a few words without hesitation, and Zhao Ran understood the whole story in the blink of an eye.

    It¡¯s easy to say, but the second brother Guan is actually a ¡°little tyrant¡±.  The dormitory is the largest room among the eight deacons' rooms in Wujiyuan. It is responsible for the food, drink and diarrhea of ??all the Taoist priests in the academy. Eight of the twenty-three positions of the "five masters and eighteen heads" in charge are in the dormitory.  The Taoist priest in charge of Zhao Ran and the other three is one of them, Jingtou, and the one in charge of Brother Guan is Jingtou.

    The two Taoist priests in charge, Jingtou and Jietou, are in charge of cleaning, but Jietou is more miserable because they clean toilets.  Because they have the same nature, they live in one place and eat at the same table.  Brother Guan is the tyrant of Wujiyuan's sweeper business, and he has a bit of a gangster character.

    Therefore, when Brother Guan says something, everyone has to listen carefully. If Brother Guan doesn¡¯t let everyone eat, everyone has to wait honestly.  In addition, during the holidays, everyone has to dig into their pockets to raise money and go to the county town to serve wine to honor the second brother Guan.

    Why does everyone listen to him?  Zhao Ran asked.

    Jiao Tan looked at Zhao Ran with contempt, can you beat him?  Zhao Ran was speechless.  Brother Guan is the bodyguard of Weiyuan Escort Agency in Fucheng, and his skills in boxing and kicking are needless to say.  The Weiyuan Escort Agency has a long-term contract with Xizhenwu Palace. Every appointed successor to the Chief Escort Bureau must go to the Dao Sect for "gilding" before taking office. If Xizhenwu Palace feels that the escort's qualifications are acceptable, they will stay directly.  If it is found that the escort's qualifications are mediocre, he will be sent to a Taoist temple in a certain county of Long'an Prefecture to serve as a layman in fire engineering for three years, and then he will be transferred to work in a temple.  Fangtang is the force responsible for patrolling among the eight deacons of the Taoist Academy. It is only fitting that the escorts from the Weiyuan Escort Bureau serve here.  After ten years, he returned to the escort agency and became the best choice for the head escort.

    Jiao Tan recounted the origins of his second brother Guan, then squinted at Zhao Ran with his small eyes. Seeing that Zhao Ran had no reaction, he couldn't help feeling frustrated.  The reason why he knows so much is because he suffered a loss when he first came here. He once wanted to use the power of his family to get some benefits, but who would have thought that his relationship with Xizhenwu Palace was so close, compared with his status as a "Jin Gentry Family"  We were much closer, so we had to endure it for a few months.

    Zhao Ran¡¯s family background is even worse, and Jiao Tan¡¯s efforts are obviously in vain.

    Back in the west room, Jiao Tan and Zhou Huai threw off their shoes and climbed onto the bed. Zhao Ran frowned and was not used to it. He could vaguely smell the stench coming from their feet. He didn't understand that these two people were supposed to be here.  How could a kid from a rich family who should be well-educated be so slovenly? After thinking about it, he turned around and went out, going to the big water tank in the courtyard and bringing back a bucket of water.  Even though he was a poor peasant boy in time travel, Zhao Ran still maintained the habit of washing before going to bed and getting up in the morning. He really couldn't stand the bad habit of those two guys going to bed without washing their feet - especially when he had his own share of the bed.

    ???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? together or a kid from a wealthy family, why are you so unhygienic?

    "Brother Jiao, Brother Zhou, can I get a bucket of water and wash up before going to bed?" Zhao Ran seemed to be asking, but in fact he was urging.

    Jiao Tan snorted coldly, turned over under the quilt and ignored him.  Zhou Huai's triangular head poked out again, and said feebly: "Don't bother, just rest"

    Zhao Ran had no choice but to wash himself, then climbed into bed, covering his head with the quilt to prevent athlete's foot.

    After lying on the bed for a while, Zhao Ran thought about it again. Why should I sleep with them in broad daylight?  So I climbed down again, went outside to breathe as usual, walked along the wall of the small courtyard, and walked along the mountain path.

    At this time, the sun is setting in the west, the red clouds cover the top of Wuji Mountain, and the scenery is extremely magnificent.  Zhao Ran stared at the mountain scenery for a while, then strolled back to the courtyard.  But I saw Brother Guan sitting on the stone steps under the house, surrounded by several fire workers who were cleaning the house, talking and laughing loudly.
