He collapsed on the ground, as if he were a dead person on the roadside, a piece of rotten meat on the street. But within a short time, summer flies swarmed up and bit the wounds between his skin and flesh.
Seeing this scene, even the boy at the door couldn't help frowning with a look of disgust.
One of the boys couldn't help but find a wooden stick, and then he just used the wooden stick he had with him to lightly poke the man lying on the ground.
No matter how the boy stabbed him, the man just lay on the ground and remained indifferent.
And just when everyone was wondering whether the skinny man was dead, the steward of the inner courtyard suddenly appeared out of nowhere. He just ordered the boy beside him to pour a bucket in the direction of the man. Steaming hot water.
The scalding hot water hit the man's body and finally made him scream.
The scalding heat steamed up from the man's body. Seeing this scene, the people outside the door were scared to retreat. No one dared to criticize this inhumane scene in front of the Zhu family's door.
People here seem to have lost their voices and become mute.
People who love to watch the fun most can't avoid it. After all, the fun is divided into those who are interested in it and those who are not, and obviously this man's fun belongs to the group that is not interested in watching it.
People just seem to be afraid that they will end up like men, so let alone pointing fingers, many people even just run away in such a scene.
After the splashing of water caused the man to scream, the boy who had just poured hot water on the man immediately walked over to the housekeeper and said, "He's not dead!"
The butler just nodded haughtily, and then he looked at the man shivering from the hot water with a look of disdain, and said softly, "Bring him in."
As his words fell, a group of people soon dragged the man into the gate of Zhu Mansion.
As the man was brought in, the heavy door of Zhu's Mansion was also closed heavily.
Seeing this situation, some people couldn't help but shake their heads and sigh, sighing that such a young man would probably end up in the Shura field in Zhu's Mansion again.
The young man actually has no hope for his own destiny, or in other words, he no longer has any desire to survive.
In addition to the huge pain and stimulation, most of the time he was just like a prisoner waiting for death with his eyes open. People dragged him forward, and there were waves of stench wherever he passed. This smell made all the ladies in the house wrinkle. He frowned and covered his mouth and nose.
However, no one knows how tidy this man used to be.
Even though he was relegated to this cold and dry place, he still preferred to take a bath. Except for the local nobles, most people here took a bath every three months, and some even took two baths in their lifetime. One uses water to cleanse the mucus on the body after birth, and the other uses water to cleanse the dirt on the body after death.
But let alone not taking a bath for three months, it would be extremely difficult for him not to wash his body for half a month.
However, the water resources here are indeed scarce, so he just uses a line of water spray to purify himself every day and bathes once every half month.
But even so, he still felt that his body was unclean every day, so soon after that, he began to smoke incense on himself every day.
At that time, among this group of Yunzhou men, he only appeared to be exceptionally clean, elegant, and elegant.
Who would have thought that this Confucian scholar who was clean and tidy a month ago would look like this now.
He couldn't help but laugh at himself at this time.
And when he was dragged away, there were also curious people among them, and that curious person was naturally Shen Fanghui who also came.
When Shen Fanghui saw the situation here, she was extremely puzzled. She couldn't help but ask the woman next to her, "Who is this person? How could he be treated like this?"
The maid being questioned obviously did not recognize the woman behind her as Miss Lu. She thought that the other party was just a slave like herself, so she just glanced at the boy who was dragging the man away. After the boys walked past, the maid lowered her voice and said to Shen Fanghui, "You are curious. You are the best." It’s better to put it away. You can ignore some questions.
It's best not to ask. Only in this way can you live well in this world. "
After hearing this, Shen Fanghui was not dispelled. On the contrary, her current curiosity was only aroused.
However, she also knew in her heart that if she asked the maid why she was doing this, she would probably not discuss this gossip with her.
So after that person left and everyone dispersed, she only planned to find someone later to find out who this person was. And it was also because of this person's arrival that Zhu Iizhi didn't even look at the warblers around him.
On the contrary, the housekeeper beside Zhu Izhi only took the initiative to walk to Shen Fanghui.
Shen Fanghui felt someone approaching, so she naturally raised her head.
As soon as the housekeeper saw her raising her head, he said to her, "Young Master is not here?"
Shen Fanghui nodded, "The eldest young master is ill."
The housekeeper ignored Shen Fanghui's words, and he was obviously not surprised when he heard her answer.
So he just left Shen Fanghui's side.
Then he looked down and said to Second Young Master Zhu who was waiting in the yard, "Second Young Master, please come over."
Hearing the respectful words of the other party, Zhu Yuewu nodded somewhat proudly.
Then, the butler just looked at the group of eager warblers, and he just said to those warblers, "I have business to deal with today, you can go on your own."
After hearing this, the group of people below were naturally unhappy.
"Why is this happening again? How many days has it been since the master came to see me?"
"Master doesn't see me today and won't see me tomorrow, so what's the use of keeping us here? It's better to sell us all together."
There was such a commotion in the crowd, and hearing the questions raised by the management women behind her, Mrs. Zhu could only immediately turn back and glare at those women.
However, most of the women who spoke were older than the step-sister, and these women had no intention of being afraid of the young housekeeper.
Seeing that everyone was disobeying the discipline, Mrs. Zhu finally turned cold and said, "Since you want to be sold out, I will sell you out today! Which one of you is going to go!"
Upon hearing Mrs. Zhu's words, the women who were still shouting excitedly immediately dispersed.
After they dispersed, Mrs. Zhu was about to leave. Fortunately, the housekeeper was quite polite to Mrs. Zhu. He only said quietly to Mrs. Zhu, "Madam, after the master has finished all the work, he will definitely be there." I will come to you, so just freshen up in the house and wait."
Hearing what the housekeeper said, Mrs. Zhu only forced a smile on her face, and then she just took out a piece of broken silver and handed it to the housekeeper.
The housekeeper was naturally happy when he got the broken silver, but he didn't accept the money directly. "Madam is so polite. I didn't do anything to help my wife, so how can I accept it?"
After listening to the housekeeper's words, the wife just smiled and said, "The housekeeper is being too modest for what he said. If you help me take care of the yard and let the master come back safely, isn't it worth the trouble?"
After the two refused to communicate, the housekeeper accepted Mrs. Zhu's money with a smile.
When he accepted the money, Mrs. Zhu only silently glanced at the Second Young Master Zhu who was following the housekeeper, and the Second Young Master Zhu just nodded towards her.
However, at the stall where the housekeeper accepted the money and was about to leave, there was a sudden commotion in the outer courtyard.
Then, when the butler turned around, a young man's voice suddenly said to the butler, "Butler, is your father back?"
After the words fell, there was only a slight cough from the other end.
Hearing the cough, the housekeeper couldn't help but look behind him. Then when he saw Zhu Zanxun, the housekeeper couldn't help but show a hint of surprise on his face.
Not only the housekeeper was surprised, but also the people in the yard.
After all, the eldest young master has always been
Don't participate in such activities.
So everyone was very surprised that he could appear here today.
And Zhu Zanxun appeared here, and he only walked slowly towards people in the eyes of everyone.
The housekeeper couldn't help but whisper to the young master's lateness, "Young master, it's not a coincidence that you are here. Of course, the master is back. He has already gone in."
Hearing this, Zhu Zanxun just said, "Really? But I didn't mean to be late."
The housekeeper just pretended to be considerate and said, "Of course I know, the eldest young master is sick."
However, Zhu Zanxun just denied the housekeeper's understanding. He only whispered, "My illness does not prevent me from coming here. No one told me that my father is back."
As soon as he finished speaking, the atmosphere at the scene became a little subtle.
If it was just because Zhu Zanxun was ill and didn't come over just now, then there would be nothing to blame. After all, everyone in the house knew that he was a sick man, and no one would blame him. After all, he is the eldest young master. . However, if someone fails to notify him, then the people in this house will inevitably be punished.
The housekeeper obviously didn't want anyone to be punished as he should, so he only took the initiative to say to the eldest young master, "Young Master, what Miss Lu just said was that you have been sick these days."
Hearing this, Zhu Zanxun just smiled nonchalantly and said, "I did get seriously ill a few days ago, and Miss Lu did take care of me for a few days, but it was only for these few days. After she took care of me, she came back." When we arrived in the west wing, how could she know what my condition was? It was natural. When you asked her, she thought I was still in the same condition as a few days ago."
After hearing Zhu Zanxun's words, Shen Fanghui naturally had no choice but to help him cooperate.
She only took the initiative and said, "I did say it casually. I actually don't know the real situation of the young master these days."
After hearing what the couple said, everyone at the moment naturally fell silent.
