Liu Mengru was not asleep either. When she heard this, her face turned red with embarrassment.
I wanted to nod, but I was worried that Zhao Ping would not allow it.
After all, the two have been married for six or seven years, and Zhao Ping has never touched her.
Sure enough, Zhao Ping refused.
"Children, what are you talking about? Go to bed quickly."
Zhao Ping played Zhao Xiaoxiao so hard that she lost her mind, threw her inside, and let her sleep obediently.
The next day I was woken up again by the neighbor's big rooster.
As soon as Zhao Ping got up, he saw Wenhui busy in the kitchen and asked unexpectedly: "Why did you get up so early?"
"It is late."
Wen Hui brushed the hair on her forehead and said apologetically: "My benefactor is already up, and I haven't cooked yet. I'll try to get up earlier in the future."
"This is boiled hot water. I'll help my benefactor wash up first."
"You get busy first, I'll do it myself."
Zhao Ping took the hot water, washed his face, and brushed his teeth with a willow branch, feeling quite awake.
I feel like life in ancient times was pretty good.
As long as you have money, you can have clothes on your hands, food on your hands, and mouth to open, and your servants will take good care of you.
What Zhao Ping is best at is making money.
With the advanced knowledge in his mind, as long as he is given time, it is possible to become the richest man in the Dawei Dynasty.
Of course, Zhao Ping will not indulge in fantasy.
He picked up the rattan basket and went to the back mountain.
The rabbit bundles left there yesterday morning should be received today.
As a result, when I arrived at the place where the first rabbit was, I found that the rabbit was missing, and even the branches had been uprooted.
Zhao Ping couldn't help but sigh that the rabbits in the mountains were so fat that they could even break away from rabbit-catching tools.
Go to the second one, Tu Shuangzi is still missing.
Zhao Ping couldn't help but wonder.
Followed by the third, fourth...
Zhao Ping found nine rabbits in a row, and all the rabbits disappeared.
He couldn't help but be a little dumbfounded.
Even if the rabbits are fat and energetic, it is impossible for all nine of them to disappear.
Four rabbits were caught yesterday morning.
Is it man-made?
Zhao Ping was anxious. If someone learned this, how would he eat rabbit meat in the future?
Zhao Ping ran all the way and quickly rushed to the tenth rabbit bundle.
There was a person sitting there, with his back to Zhao Ping.
Hearing the sound, he turned around suddenly and had a bow in his hand.
He nocked an arrow and shot it straight at Zhao Ping.
Then the voice came.
"who?"
As the other person turned around, Zhao Ping also recognized him.
His name is Yunman, and he is a hunter from Xiping Village.
His parents died when he was thirteen years old, making him an orphan.
Inheriting his father's hunting job, he grew up to the age of seventeen and lived a very poor life.
Zhao Ping smiled and said, "It's me, Zhao Ping."
"Yunman, were you hunting in the mountains again last night?"
"How was the harvest?"
When talking about harvest, Zhao Ping subconsciously looked next to Yunman.
His brows immediately wrinkled.
There was his rabbit harness, and five rabbits.
Before Yun Man could speak, Zhao Ping scolded: "Yun Man, what do you mean?"
"You're so good, why are you pulling out my rabbit's strings?"
"Rabbit beam?"
Yun Man was stunned for a moment, pointed to the rabbit bundle at his feet and asked, "Is this what you are talking about?"
"this is yours?"
"Where did you learn it?"
"Are you in charge?"
Zhao Ping said angrily.
He was counting on these rabbits to catch rabbits for him to eat, but now they were all pulled out by Yun Man.
"Brother Ping, don't be angry."
Yun Manqian smiled and said: "These rabbits are still yours, I don't want any of them."
"I pulled out these rabbit bundles mainly because I was waiting for you."
"While hunting last night, I accidentally tripped on a rabbit harness and it knocked me down."
"I didn't care at the time, but later I saw a rabbit tied up in a rabbit harness. No matter how hard the rabbit tried to break free, I realized the value of this thing."
"That's why I pulled out the rabbit's strings and waited for you to come. I wanted to ask you for advice."
"You want to learn this method of catching rabbits?"
Zhao Ping asked.
Yun Man nodded, "Brother Ping, can you teach me?"
"Why should I teach you?"
Zhao Ping asked, "You are a hunter yourself. If you learn this method of catching rabbits again, how will I catch rabbits in the future? How will I eat meat every time?"
It’s not that Zhao Ping is stingy.
I am really too poor now and have no money to buy meat every day.
So this method of catching rabbits is what Zhao Ping relies on to eat meat.
How can you easily teach others.
Poof!
However, the next moment, Yun Man knelt down in front of Zhao Ping.
"Brother Ping, I can accept you as my teacher."
"Once I become your apprentice, you will have full authority to distribute the prey I hunt."
"And if I teach this method to others, even if you beat me to death, others won't tell you why."
Zhao Ping touched his chin and began to think.
Dawei is a dynasty that respects masters, and the disciples treat their masters as if they are closer than their own fathers.
In front of the master, the disciple is like a slave.
Just forget about it.
If you make a mistake and get beaten to death by your master, it is not against the law.
Moreover, the money earned by the apprentice is usually distributed by the master and cannot be kept privately.
Just like in Miaoshou Huichun Hall, Tao Jian is considered Lin Hua's apprentice, no matter how much work he does or how many patients he treats.
He didn't dare to ask for any money he earned, and all was handed over to Lin Hua for unified distribution.
Lin Hua wanted to drive him away, but he didn't even dare to let out a fart.
Yun Man now wants to worship him as his master, and all the prey he hunts will be handed over to him.
You don’t have to do anything, but you can eat meat every day.
It's a good idea.
And Yunman is still an honest person.
You can tell it from the moment he pulls out the rabbit bundle and leaves him here to wait.
But Zhao Ping did not agree immediately, but asked instead: "Yun Man, why do you want to worship me as your teacher?"
"You know, once you become my apprentice, all the prey you hunt will be assigned to me."
"If I don't give it to you, how will you live?"
"Besides, I'm a well-known second-rate kid in our village. If you worship me as your teacher, aren't you afraid that others will laugh at you?"
"Why!"
Speaking of this, Yun Man sighed.
"Brother Ping, to be honest, I haven't eaten anything for two days."
"Now that we are entering late autumn, there is very little prey activity. It is basically impossible to hunt prey during the day. It is also difficult to hunt at night due to poor visibility."
"I worship you as my teacher. At least you can take care of my meals so that I won't starve to death."
"I don't care if others laugh or not."
"Besides, I met my fourth aunt today and she said that you have changed your gender and know how to hunt."
"It is reasonable for me to worship Da Da as my teacher."
It's really sincere.
He can even say things like "I'm about to starve to death" and I'm embarrassed to say it in front of others.
Zhao Ping nodded, "Okay, I promise to accept you as my disciple."
"My dear teacher, please accept my disciple's bow."
Yun Man burst into tears of gratitude and kowtowed three times to Zhao Ping.
Then he stood up, took off the bow from his back, and handed it to Zhao Ping.
"Master, this is the only valuable thing I have. Giving it to Master is considered a ceremony to become a disciple."
Zhao Ping took a look at the bow. The workmanship was very rough, and the strings were still made of hemp.
How lethal can this thing be?
I'm afraid I can't even shoot through a rabbit.
No wonder Yun Man couldn't catch his prey, so he needed a real bow.
Zhao Ping said disgustedly: "What do I want with your broken bow?"
"You can't even shoot a chicken to death."
"When you have time later, I will make you a crossbow. That thing is very lethal."
"One arrow can kill a wild boar."
"Master can actually make weapons?"
Yun is satisfied with the heretics.
I have never heard of Zhao Ping having such ability.
"I know a lot, so you can learn slowly."
Zhao Ping pretended to be 13 and patted Yun Man on the shoulder, "Stop talking nonsense and come home with me."
"go home?"
Yun Man was stunned for a moment, "Master, you should go home first. I will hunt for another day and bring back a few more rabbits in the evening."
"You've been hungry for two days, how can you still have the energy to hunt?"
Zhao Ping became dissatisfied and said, "Let's go home and eat first. After eating and drinking, we can go to the mountains to work for our teacher."
Yun Man's eyes lit up when he heard that he was working in the mountains.
With his master's cleverness, he might be able to get a big deal. Yun Man was vaguely looking forward to it and followed Zhao Ping home happily.
Before they got home, the two of them found many women gathered at the door of their house, pointing and saying some unpleasant things.
Especially the person standing in the middle wearing gorgeous clothes screamed the loudest.
"You don't know, this Zhao Ping is really a prodigal. The day before yesterday, he was lucky enough to catch a few rabbits and exchange them for money. Unexpectedly, he turned around and bought white rice, lard, and I heard he even tore out new cloth and gave them money-losing goods. Buy candy.”
"This, this, isn't this a waste of money?"
"That's a few hundred coins. It's enough to buy millet and wheat hulls for their family to survive the winter."
"He was defeated like this. How will he live in the future?"
"Don't you want to starve the whole family to death?"
"It's really hard for Miss Mengru."
Zhao Ping knew that she was the fifth concubine of the village chief's family, named Yu Xiuying.
Someone mentioned earlier that she would be the wife of the original owner, Zhao Ping.
But the original owner was inhumane and refused.
She held a grudge, and after marrying the village chief, she came over from time to time to ridicule the original owner.
Now Zhao Ping would not spoil him. Just as he was about to step forward, he saw a petite figure faster than him.
It's Wenhui.
She rushed to Yu Xiuying, raised her hand and slapped her without any nonsense.
