Chapter 6 The Rat Throwing Device
There is an old saying that goes, "Accommodating to the local customs", which means that when you are in a strange environment, you have to figure out the rules in this environment, just like playing a strange game. First of all, you must remember the rules of this game.
As a time traveler, when you are not yet capable and qualified to establish a new rule, you must learn to adapt to the old ones.
Xiao Fan vaguely knew some ancient rules in his previous life, but he didn't know much. He only remembered some things with only a few understandings. To put it simply, he was just a half-baked guy.
So when he said the word "Tongfang girl" with confidence, he was still a little proud in his heart. He thought he had found a loophole in the rules of the game in this era.
The maid is a unique product of ancient Chinese feudal society. It is generally a personal maid next to the ladies of wealthy families. If the ladies get married, the maid will naturally become the maid of the husband's family.
As we all know, maids are servants, and maids who are both husbands are strictly considered servants, but their status is slightly higher than that of servants, between concubines and servants.
The responsibility of the Tongfang girl is very important. She not only needs to manage the diet and daily life of the lady and her son-in-law, but also needs to fan in summer and warm the bed in winter, like a human-shaped air conditioner. The most important thing is that the Tongfang girl also acts as a firefighter and a temporary substitute when her master is having sex, and even helps to push the master buttocks and breasts to increase the joy of the boudoir. In this regard, the Tongfang girl is equivalent to a sex toy, and its function is similar to modern massage sticks and inflatable dolls.
Look, how corrupt and depraved the lives of the ancient upper class were, and how miserable the fate of the working people was!
But Xiao Fan loved ancient times to death.
I don’t know who invented the term “Tongfang Girl”, he is simply a genius!
For a man, these feudal rules in ancient times were really humane. Compared with modern women who wanted to ride on men's necks, Xiao Fan felt that the life of time travel was too happy.
It’s a pity that this time travel rookie doesn’t know that not all son-in-law are qualified to enjoy the maid. A son-in-law who comes to the house actually has such unrealistic ideas in his heart, which is really a ignorant person who is fearless.
Compared to Xiao Fan's current excited mood, Chen Siliu had the idea of suicide.
A girl in the room...
A poor farmer who has no fame and fortune, is so poor that his daughter has not been married yet, he is actually thinking about the girl who has joined the house. Do you have this qualification?
"Do you still want to be a girl?" Chen Siliu sneered, with deep sarcasm in his eyes.
Doesn’t this poor boy know what it means to “overestimate one’s ability”?
Xiao Fan was stinged by Chen Siliu's eyes, but he still smiled with a gentle smile, with a shy smile: "If my father-in-law really can't bear to leave, it doesn't matter if the son-in-law doesn't want to be married to the girl. After all, the son-in-law has been ate and lived in the Chen Mansion for four years, and he is already very embarrassed. He is all his family, so he doesn't have to be too disgusted..."
After saying that, Xiao Fan waved his hand, then stared at Chen Siliu, with a smile on his face, but his eyes showed the same sarcastic look.
Chen Siliu couldn't speak anymore. Xiao Fan said beautifully. Not only did he easily expose the maid's affairs, but he also seemed to give him a huge favor. Moreover, his words and expressions all exuded a scoundrel. What medicine did the doctor give him after this guy got sick?
Chen Siliu stared at Xiao Fan with his eyes straight, his mouth felt a little bitter.
In theory, as a dowry for wealthy families, if Chen Ying'er really married Xiao Fan, Bao Qin would naturally have to dowry it, but - this is just in theory!
Many things that work theoretically in this world are simply impossible to happen in reality. If we look back at the source, in theory, 18 years ago, Chen Siliu shouldn't have gotten drunk at all, and he shouldn't have easily promised his daughter to such a poor peasant family.
As far as he knows, no son-in-law from a family dared to make the request of "a girl with a squad" with such righteousness to his father-in-law. Chen Siliuzhen didn't know how to describe Xiao Fan's fearless spirit, which was so frightening to the mountains and rivers?
The Chen family now has a large industry, including grain shops, restaurants, silk shops, and carriages. But the bigger the industry, the less you can't afford to fall.
Now the entire Jiangpu County knows that the Chen family's daughter was betrothed to Xiao Fan. If he really drove him out, judging from his scoundrel performance today, if he let this poor boy wander on the streets and then tells everyone about how the Chen family is not trustworthy and dislikes the poor and loves the rich, then the reputation and reputation in the business world of the Chen family will be trampled on, and even the character and virtue of the Chen family will be questioned.
The lifeline of the Chen family is the word "integrity". I don't know whether Xiao Fan intentionally or unintentionally, but he tightly grasped the Chen family's pulse.
Chen Siliu's determination to drive Xiao Fan out of the mansion began to shake. He did not expect that Xiao Fan, who had always been honest and cowardly, would be so difficult today. The Chen family's industry was the result of his hard work for most of his life, and he did not allow the Chen family to have twists and turns because of a mere farmer's child.
Looking at Xiao Fan's face that was so gentle that he deserved to be beaten, Chen Siliu opened his mouth, but couldn't say a word. After a while, he finally waved his hand and said powerlessly: "Today's affairs are aside. Nephew should be careful to be a human being in the future. Do not do such unethical and unfair things again. You... retreat!"
Xiao Fan still looked gentle and elegant, bowed to Chen Siliu very much, then turned around and walked away gracefully.
Chen Siliu raised his head, his face turned pale. Looking at Xiao Fan's back, his teeth clenched. In addition to resentment, there was also a little doubt in his eyes.
In the past, Xiao Fan was obedient, introverted and cowardly. When he saw himself, he was as frightened as a mouse and could not say a word. What happened to him today? Did he wake up from a serious illness and his temperament changed drastically?
Chen Siliu really didn't understand why a very honest and honest young man has become as difficult as a scoundrel, and he can't drive away even if he can't stay or stay. This Chen son-in-law has a tendency to gradually transform into one direction of disaster. This is really not a good sign for the Chen family.
We must find a way to drive him away as soon as possible! How can he be worthy of his daughter? What are the benefits for the Chen family when he married Ying'er?
Chen Siliu stared at Xiao Fan's back and clenched his fists secretly.
The incident of attacking the chest in the noisy world was raised heavily in a strange atmosphere where one side was afraid of the mouse, but the other side was ignorant and fearless, and then gently put it down, leaving it alone.
************************************************
After Xiao Fan turned around, his gentle and elegant smile slowly solidified, and then turned into a bitter smile.
Chen Siliu's meaning was expressed so clearly, how could Xiao Fan not understand? If he hadn't been to the first time and could not live without the Chen Mansion, how could he be willing to stay here with his face?
Xiao Fan is not a fool, and he has no habit of being humble.
The outside world was too strange to him. He didn't know what the ancient world looked like. He didn't invent this and that, like other time travel protagonists, and were eager to accept his younger brothers and domineering the king. In fact, Xiao Fan had a kind of fear and resistance to the outside world. Before he fully understood this strange environment, he had to find a relatively familiar environment to survive. This is the nature of humans and all animals.
A person who doesn't understand the outside world at all and doesn't care about it and hits it in is definitely a complete fool.
Xiao Fan is not a fool, he is just a lunatic at best, and this lunatic is not stupid.
Chen Siliu played the "string song" for a while, but Xiao Fan was completely unaware of its "elegant meaning". This was also a helpless pretending. No matter what, he had to stay in the Chen Mansion, because if he was driven out, he would have nowhere to survive.
There are always some unscrupulous difficulties when lying under someone else’s roof. If there is another choice, who would like to live according to other people’s faces?
Xiao Fan also knew that although this small storm was over, the Chen family could not tolerate him, and he would be swept out sooner or later. So what Xiao Fan had to do now is to be familiar with the outside world in the shortest time, and then leave the Chen family in an awesome way to create his own life.
This ideal is not grand, but it is very practical. Without a great leap forward or exaggeration, Xiao Fan is becoming more and more sure that those who call him crazy are blind.
Since you have to be familiar with the outside world, the first thing Xiao Fan has to do is to go out for a walk. How can you get familiar with it if you don’t go around?
So Xiao Fan returned to his remote courtyard, which was covered with weeds and was not as good as that of the Chen Mansion's thatched cottage, and took out a purse from under the sloppy and greasy bed board, which contained all the savings saved by his predecessor over the past four years, ten taels of silver.
For the rich, ten taels of silver are not too much, and maybe a luxurious meal will be gone.
But for the poor, ten taels of silver is a considerable amount, which can at least allow middle-class families to live a good life without worrying about food and clothing in the first half of the year.
Now all Xiao Fan's property is these ten taels of silver.
Xiao Fan planned to take it on it and go out to find an investment project, a profitable one.
As a time traveler, naturally, there are many advantages, experience, and various modern knowledge than the people of the same era, which ancient people dare not imagine. As long as they are willing to spend time and think about it, it is not difficult to be a rich man.
When she walked to the gate of Chen's mansion, Xiao Fan happened to meet the housekeeper of Chen's mansion, Lao Chen.
Old Chen is in his thirties and is wearing a black short shirt with thick wool inside. He looks very ordinary, with two beards, his hair is meticulously combed, and his hair is shiny and shiny. In the bun on the top of his head, he is also a very fashionable blue hairpin with a look of indifference.
Old Chen looked at him coldly, his eyes emitting a sense of disgust and ridicule that he didn't want to hide at all, as if he was watching a dog falling into the water.
Xiao Fan smiled at him friendly, pointed to the door, and said in a gentle voice: "Butler Chen, can I go out for a walk?"
Butler Chen said with a slight smile: "Of course, our Chen family is a great sage family, not a prison cell. Of course you can go out if you want to go out."
Xiao Fan frowned, and Butler Chen's sarcastic tone made him feel a little dissatisfied.
Taking a breath, Xiao Fan endured it, bowed to Butler Chen casually, and said lightly: "Thank you, I'll go out for a walk and go back."
Butler Chen sneered: "Son-in-law, it's big outside. If you're lost..."
"how?"
"Then don't come back. It's much better to find a small temple to be a monk than to be a aunt in the Chen Mansion..."
As soon as he finished speaking, several servants in the doorman laughed loudly, laughing unscrupulously, full of mockery.
Butler Chen also laughed, as if he felt that he had told a funny joke.
Xiao Fan also laughed, laughing happier than them: "Butler Chen is really funny, but I think you may not be able to laugh soon..."
Butler Chen did not smile anymore and looked at Xiao Fan in a narrow way: "What does this mean?"
Xiao Fan was so calm that he said: "The master asked me to go to the front hall just now. Do you know this?"
Butler Chen nodded: "So what?"
"The master is looking for me, it's actually related to you."
Butler Chen's face began to become unnatural: "It has something to do with me?"
Xiao Fan smiled and nodded: "Actually, it's not a big deal. The master found that your eyes were not honest recently, so he always glanced at my mother-in-law's chest, so he called me over and asked if you have bullied the servants in the mansion and deducted the servants' wages or something..."
"Nonsense! I didn't glance at my wife's breasts at all..." Butler Chen's face finally changed. It seemed completely different to secretly glance at my wife's breasts and deducting labor money. But when the master asked at the same time, the smell was different.
This problem is very serious and is closely related to Butler Chen's job.
When he stared at Xiao Fan, butler Chen said evilly: "How did you get back to Master?"
Xiao Fan looked sincere: "Of course I don't know. I was not present when you secretly glanced at my mother-in-law's breasts..."
Butler Chen's face turned pale and he said sternly: "Don't talk nonsense! I have never glanced at my wife's chest!"
"...Okay, you haven't glanced at it, so I told the master that it would be better to listen to the butler's explanation for some things. After all, butler Chen has worked hard and made great contributions in the Chen family, so he can't be convicted of falsehood, right?"
Butler Chen was stunned for a moment, and then sneered: "Is what you said true or false? I have always been in the Chen Mansion, and I have always been straightforward and never surpassed the point. How could the master doubt me for no reason? Could it be that you are spreading rumors? Do you think I will believe your nonsense?"
Xiao Fan sighed and murmured to himself: "Tell him kindly, he actually suspected that I was spreading rumors. It turns out that good people are hard to do in this world..."
Shaking his head, Xiao Fan came out of the side door and gradually walked away.
Butler Chen stood at the door, his face turned blue and red. After hesitating for a while, he finally stamped his feet: "No! I have to explain to the master, I really didn't slimly glance at my wife's chest..."
