"Husband, come to my place tonight? I will let you..."

Xu Yating whispered in Ren Hao's ear and exhaled another breath of hot air.

"Miss me so soon?"

Ren Hao suddenly chuckled and immediately picked up Xu Yating.

……

After a night of passion, when Ren Hao woke up it was already past noon, and only the fragrance of the beauty beside him remained.

Ren Hao sat up and stretched, feeling his waist and legs so weak that they almost didn't belong to him.

It's just that he hadn't slept with Xu Yating for a few days, and last night she was as fierce as a juicer, eating Ren Hao clean and leaving no energy left.

Just when Ren Hao was about to sleep a little longer, a voice came from outside the house, "Master, are you awake?"

"woke up."

"Is there anything I can help you with, Cai Lun?" Ren Hao asked as he sat up again.

"My lord, Mr. Chen asked me to come and inform you that he has brought his friends here." Cai Lun reported outside the door.

"Okay, let Chen Fei take his friend to the hall first."

"Then, serve each of them a plate of side dishes, a plate of fine meat, and a pot of Maozi. I'll be there soon." Ren Hao ordered.

"Okay, sir. I'll do it right away." Cai Lun nodded, and then called Qingzhu over to help Ren Hao wash up.

To be honest, as a modern person, Ren Hao is really not used to having long hair.

It takes more than half an hour just to style my hair, which is really too tiring.

"Qingzhu, go get me a pair of scissors." Ren Hao ordered Qingzhu who was preparing mouthwash for him.

"Okay sir."

Although Qingzhu didn't know what Ren Hao wanted the scissors for, he still went to the utility room and got a pair of scissors.

"Master, these are the scissors you asked for." Qingzhu respectfully handed the scissors to Ren Hao.

Ren Hao did not take the scissors. He just gathered the long hair at the back of his neck and said to Qingzhu, "Qingzhu, help me cut all the hair below this."

Seeing that Ren Hao wanted her to cut his hair, Qingzhu was so scared that she knelt on the ground and said, "Master, this... this is not allowed. Qingzhu dare not do such a rebellious thing."

"It's just a hair cut, what's the big deal?" Ren Hao was speechless.

Seeing that Ren Hao was so ignorant of the seriousness of the matter, Qingzhu immediately quoted the Book of Filial Piety and said, "The body and hair are given by parents. We should not damage them. This is the beginning of filial piety."

"It's not that serious. Just help me cut it. I won't blame you or anything." Ren Hao said.

"Although the master won't blame me for anything, the lady will definitely not let Qingzhu off easily when the time comes."

"Please spare Qingzhu, sir." Qingzhu still refused to shake her head, and even persuaded Ren Hao not to do anything stupid that would violate the Book of Filial Piety.

Seeing this, Ren Hao had no choice but to give up and let Qingzhu help him comb his hair again.

After his clothes and long hair were arranged, Qingzhu next to him handed the teacup next to him to Ren Hao: "Please rinse your mouth, sir."

"Ha, huh..." Ren Hao took the teacup, took a sip of the strong tea and almost drank it down in one gulp.

He was still not used to the ancient way of cleaning the mouth. There were three ways for the ancients to clean the cavity. The poor used some vinegar water to clean the mouth. Although this would clean it more cleanly, it would leave a sour taste in the mouth. People with a little money would also add some spices to remove the sour taste in their mouths.

Merchants and officials all used strong tea with added fragrant lotus to rinse their mouths. The so-called fragrant lotus is the modern wild mint.

As for the royal family, they had special mouthwash officials to serve them. They would smear their teeth with fine salt and then rinse their mouths with fragrant lotus.

Ren Hao secretly decided that when he had time someday, he would make a few toothbrushes.

After all, the way ancient people rinsed their mouths was too troublesome.

Ren Hao spat out the strong tea in his mouth, wiped his mouth with a silk towel, and then went to the hall of the mansion.

At this time, two people were sitting at the table in the hall, toasting each other. The man with a two-foot-long beard, sharp eyebrows and phoenix eyes was Chen Fei, while the man sitting opposite him was dressed hunchbacked, less than seven feet tall, and looked particularly thin, with a face full of pockmarks.

Whether in ancient times or modern times, this person is extremely ugly.

Although this person is ugly, Ren Hao never judges people by their appearance.

"Master, this is the friend I told you about." Chen Fei quickly stood up and introduced him to Ren Hao.

"My name is Zhang Tong, nice to meet you, Master Ren." The man stood up and clasped his fists towards Ren Hao.

"I heard from Chen Fei that you can raise horses?" Ren Hao went straight to the point without wasting any words.

Seeing Ren Hao talking about his specialty, Zhang Tong's pockmarked face immediately lit up with pride: "I used to be a horseman in the palace. I am the second best horseman in the capital, and no one dares to say that they are the best."

"Oh?"

"Since you are good at raising horses and working in the palace, how did you fall to such a state?" Ren Hao was suddenly surprised.

"It's embarrassing to say this." Zhang Tong sighed.

Three generations of his ancestors had served as imperial stewards in the palace, but in his generation, because he was born extremely ugly and was afraid of disturbing the emperor, the ministers ordered him to be relieved of all his duties and became a commoner.

If he was not born ugly, with his ability to raise horses, he would not have to worry about food and drink in the capital even if he left the palace.

But because of this ugly face, he was disliked wherever he went and no one dared to employ him.

"If I hadn't been appreciated by Mr. Chen before, I probably wouldn't be able to sit at the master's table now." Zhang Tong sighed, feeling that the world was a little unfair to him.

"Master, are you willing to employ Zhang Tong? Let him be the groom in your mansion." Chen Fei spoke at this time, and Zhang Tong beside him also looked at Ren Hao.

But he didn't hold out much hope.

After all, the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment.

"It's a waste of talent to let him become a groom in my house, I think..." Ren Hao shook his head and changed the subject, looking at Zhang Tong who was already disappointed and smiling bitterly, and then said: "Zhang Tong, are you willing to become my disciple and become a guest in my house?"

what?

Let me become his guest?

Zhang Tong was stunned for a moment and couldn't even believe his ears.

"Master, are you sincere and not lying to me?" Zhang Tong stood up and said in disbelief.

"Absolutely true." Ren Hao said seriously, and Chen Fei beside him immediately reminded him: "Zhang Tong, why don't you go and pay your respects to the master?"

"Master, you are Zhang Tong's reborn parents. Please accept my three bows!!!"

Zhang Tong knelt on the ground in great excitement. Just when he was about to bow three times to Ren Hao, Ren Hao stopped him and said, "Mr. Zhang, please don't do that. Please stand up quickly. How can I, Ren Hao, be your adopted parent?"

"Master, if you don't mind my ugliness and allow me to be your retainer, then for Zhang Tong, it's like having a second parent."

"Master, please accept my three bows. If you don't accept them, I will feel sad." Zhang Tong said excitedly, and then bowed three times to Ren Hao.
