Feiyun County.
A remote corner.
"Two steamed buns and a handful of peanuts."
"Hey, there are also peanuts. Feiyun County is really rich!"
The beggar excitedly picked up the peanuts and swallowed them in their shells. At the same time, he tore off half of the steamed bun and threw it to Zhao Fan.
Zhao Fan was silent, sitting cross-legged and eating silently.
"By the way, let me arrange a good place for you!"
Halfway through eating, the beggar suddenly said.
"Um?!"
Zhao Fan glanced at him. With the beggar's IQ, he didn't think the beggar would have a good idea in his mind.
"The Fang family is a big family in Feiyun County. They are very rich! If you can join the Fang family, you won't have to worry about food and drink for the rest of your life!"
"Fang family?!"
Zhao Fan raised his eyebrows, not expecting to hear this word again so soon.
However, his face showed no expression, and he stared straight at the beggar, listening to his next sentence.
"The Fang family is hiring servants recently, and a group of people can't even send their children in..."
"I looked at the crooked children around me. Compared with you, they are far behind..."
"With your ability, you will definitely be able to work as a servant. It will be a good thing to have good food and drink..."
The beggar's poor vocabulary was chattering in front of Zhao Fan. Zhao Fan thought for a moment and suddenly interrupted him.
"Sell yourself?"
"Yes, you need to sign a contract of sale."
The beggar nodded,
"Selling yourself to the Fang family is something we beggars can't even think about! I don't have to wander around anymore. I would like to go, but they won't accept me..."
"How much?"
"Five taels of silver!"
The beggar grinned widely, showing his black and yellow teeth, stretched out his palm and waved it cheerfully,
"With five taels of silver, I will never have to worry about anything in my life, hahaha..."
The beggar suddenly stared at Zhao Fan warily,
"You don't have any share in these five taels of silver!
I have found such a good place for you in the Fang family. It is not easy to raise you at such a young age. These five taels of silver should be regarded as your filial piety to me for the rest of your life! "
"Pfft!"
Zhao Fan sneered and shook his head not knowing what to say.
5 taels of silver, is that much?
many.
But with Zhao Fan's current strength, if nothing else, it would be easy for him to sneak into a rich man's house quietly with his Qing Kung Fu.
Or maybe it's easy to assassinate a few people, rob the rich and give to the poor, and earn a few taels of silver.
After settling down in Feiyun County, Zhao Fan could easily turn a beggar into a wealthy family by implementing a little trick.
What a pity, what a pity...
Beggars, beggars, stupid, greedy, short-sighted, empty-minded...
"Are you sure?"
"confirmed!"
"Then these five taels of silver are my final debt to repay you! From now on, you and I will go our separate ways and we will have nothing to do with each other..."
"Hahahaha, no problem, we will go our separate ways from now on!"
The beggar laughed.
It's so easy to raise children. A few handfuls of grass and a few bowls of water can feed one. I'll raise a few more someday...
"good!"
Zhao Fan said meaningfully,
"It's a deal!"
"It's a deal!"
The beggar quickly agreed, fearing that Zhao Fan would regret it.
Late at night, the beggar was sleeping soundly.
Zhao Fan rested his arms on his head and looked at the brilliant stars in the sky, his eyes a little blurry.
"I feel more and more that this is a real world, and I am one of the living beings struggling to survive..."
"I am here, what will happen to real life? Has anyone discovered that I am missing..."
"Haha, in the original world I was alone, who would care about my life or death..."
"I will live in this world for decades. Is there any difference between the flow of time here and the real world?
Even if I complete the ultimate mission, will things have changed when I return to the real world..."
Zhao Fan shook his head vigorously to get rid of his distracting thoughts.
"It's better to think about the mission quickly!"
"Being a servant is not a bad choice. You can get a clean and legal identity and investigate Feiyun County to find the missing prince!"
"It happens to be a servant of the Fang family, so let's start the investigation from the Fang family..."
…………
the next day.
"Give me, let me, let me!!!"
The beggar took Zhao Fan and squeezed into the crowd.
"Oh, it stinks!"
"What is a stinky beggar doing here..."
The people around him complained, but because they didn't want to come into contact with the beggar, they all retreated to both sides. Instead, the beggar walked forward and came to the housekeeper.
"I've met you, sir! This is my boy. Sir, please see how good he is!"
The housekeeper raised his right hand to cover his nose and looked at the beggar with disgust. When his eyes turned to Zhao Fan, he raised his eyebrows and was very surprised!
Although Zhao Fan was dressed in tatters, he was actually very neat and tidy, with clean skin and no odor.
And compared to other children who were full of fear and confusion, Zhao Fan was very calm and indifferent from beginning to end.
Not cramped or awkward at all.
Zhao Fan stands out among this group of children.
"Okay, okay!"
The housekeeper smiled and nodded,
"how old are you?"
"4 years."
"Quite tall, looks like a six or seven-year-old child! Not bad, not bad..."
While stroking his beard, the steward took out some silver and threw it to the beggar.
"This is 7 taels of silver. The extra 2 taels are my reward for you!"
"Hey hey hey, thank you, sir!!! Thank you, sir!!!"
The beggar jumped up excitedly, put the silver to his mouth, bit it hard, turned around and left.
He didn't even look at Zhao Fan.
The silver in the beggar's hand shone with an attractive luster, and he did not notice the greedy eyes around him at all.
Zhao Fan had no expression on his face, without any reminder.
The kindness was repaid, and from then on the beggar's life and death had nothing to do with him...
"Boy, is your name Zhao Fan? Put your fingerprint on the deed of sale, then go over there and wait..."
"Yes, sir..."
In this way, Zhao Fan became a member of the Fang family's servants.
Rich families often like to train servants from an early age, so that they are more loyal and have no other worries.
Inside the Fang family.
"Since you have become our servants, you must not be frivolous or provocative in your actions from now on, let alone anger the adults in the house!
Otherwise, he will be served with sticks at best, or beaten to death directly with sticks at worst!
You signed the deed of betrayal, and from now on you will return to the Fang family whether you live or die, and the government will not interfere..."
The steward then distributes the destinations of these people.
"Dachun, Gou Sheng, you two will take care of the house and home from now on..."
"Wang Wu, Tiedan, you will chop wood and wash clothes from now on..."
These people have finished allocating the older children.
Only relatively young children like Zhao Fan were left.
"You guys are too young. Your main job is to entertain young masters and young ladies!"
"yes……"
At a young age, he has a lot of free time. Zhao Fan wanders around Fang Mansion from time to time to explore various information.
The other servants played with the young master and the young lady attentively, and sometimes they were bullied and tortured by the young master and the young lady. They could only cry and dare not fight back.
Zhao Fan was too lazy to waste time on this.
Within a few days, Zhao Fan figured out the situation in Fang Mansion!
"I seem to have... come to a conclusion!"
