Shipin Dalizheng

After resting for the second half of the night, Rong An felt that he could still hold on. He was willing to take the wine to the county town to try selling it. So he and Rong Dashan went back home, had some food, and packed up to go back into the city.

Afterwards, the third master and the village chief came together. The village chief was pulling his own flatbed cart and said that he and his son would go together and that they would not be paid any wages.

Rong Tang knew that these men were taking the village gossip seriously, so he said nothing and asked them to bring a horse over and harness it. There were five horses in the compound, one of which was used to pull the cart, and four were still available. Although Rong San and his friends needed them at any time, there were always some left at home.

The Rong family members felt a little ashamed. For a short period of time, it seemed that they would still take advantage of the prince. There was no other way. The family members were too poor, and going to the county town was not as close as going to the capital.

A total of ten wine jars were moved, and the village chief, Rong An, and Rong Dashan set off.

The third master watched them for a long distance with his hands on his shoulders, his eyes full of anticipation.

Rong San woke up at the right time and jumped up as soon as he regained consciousness, "Master, be careful..."

When he landed, he found himself lying on the bed. He heard the sound of sawing wood outside the house. When he went out, he saw Rong Qi working clumsily, and Li Shiwa was helping him.

A total of five beds need to be made, no, six beds, because Doctor Zhang is staying and the workload is quite heavy.

The aroma of wine wafted in the air in the backyard. Everything was in order and it seemed that the crisis was over.

Rong San, who claimed to have the best martial arts among them, couldn't help but feel ashamed. They were really incompetent guards.

When they reached the main hall, Rong Tang was instructing Gui Ergou, "Go fetch water and fill all the jars. Then chop wood. If you don't chop all the wood, you won't eat today. If I don't set some rules for you, you'll be in trouble."

Gui Ergou was drunk all night and just woke up. He knew he had done something wrong, so he agreed with a grin and went to work quickly.

Rong Tang then stroked his chin and thought about how to use Gui Ergou. Since he had brought him out, he secretly hoped that he could do something serious instead of just being a tool to intimidate Gui Po.

Besides, after so much time had passed, with Wu Ji's methods, he should have been able to control Gui Pozi long ago, without any worries. (See the "Reincarnation Break" for details)

He was just thinking about something when Rong San walked in and knelt down, "Master, Rong San failed to protect you well. Please punish me."

After all, this matter was not entirely Rong San's fault. Doctor Zhang had a special status and could not be treated lightly or seriously. Although he had always wanted to use Rong Tang to practice his acupuncture method that had no medical basis, he really protected Rong Tang in some ways. This was also the reason why Rong Tang tolerated him many times.

It was precisely because he could not sense the ill intentions of Imperial Physician Zhang that Rong Tang's perception, which he was proud of, became ineffective.

"Get up, it's not your fault. Fortunately, I've convinced him, so he shouldn't mess around anytime soon."

Rong Tang suddenly remembered something: he had once told Rong Qi that he would give them new names, and from then on, master and servant were united. Fortunately, the Third Master was still watching the wine being distilled in the backyard, so he invited him over to come up with new names.

The Third Master tapped his pipe, knocking off some of the foam. "There are some rules for choosing a new name. Don't have the same name as me, otherwise I won't be able to clearly identify you later. I went back and got the family tree. There are so many young people here that even I sometimes get them confused."

When Rong San heard that they were going to be given a new name, which meant that they would truly become Rong Tang's confidants from now on, he was surprised and happy. He hurried to inform others, even waking up Rong Si and Rong Wu who were catching up on their sleep.

Even Gui Ergou and Li Shiwa came to join in the fun.

After getting the family tree, looking at the room full of young men and children, the Third Master felt a sense of pressure. He looked through the family tree, familiarizing himself with the names of the men and children in the family, and began to write down the names he had come up with on paper, scratching his head and thinking of more than ten names.

"Choose for yourself."

The paper was pushed in front of Rong San and the others. The four of them leaned forward to take a look and felt a chill in their hearts.

It can accommodate big cows, big tigers, big bears and small dragons.

Or it may bring prosperity, wealth, and gold and silver.

Rong Tang couldn't help but chuckle, and covered his face to suppress his laughter.

The Third Master rubbed his head and said, "Isn't it good? This is how everyone in our village names things. How great! Isn't this much better than Goudan?"

Rong San and the others all looked gloomy. If they named him Goudan, they would all want to die in the line of duty. Sansiwuqi was not as good as the other ones.

Rong Tang smiled and said, "Let me think about it. After all, we are all grown men with martial arts skills. We can't just give random names, otherwise we will be laughed at in the future."

Rong San and the others hurriedly said, "Master, please give us a name."

Rong Tang thought about it and realized that since several of them knew martial arts, he might as well name some of them who had a chivalrous spirit and were majestic and distinctive.

"Third brother has the highest combat ability, so he's called Rong Zhan. Fourth brother is steady and careful, so he's called Rong Shen. Fifth brother is dexterous, so he's called Rong Qianqi. Seventh brother is good at Qinggong, so he's called Rong Wanli."

This is really great, and it was thoughtfully done, which shows that the master values ​​it.

Several people knelt down together, "Thank you, Master, for the name."

After Rong Tang came up with the name, he suddenly remembered something, "I forgot to ask for your opinion. Is it okay to have the surname Rong? Or if you want to change back to your original surname, that's fine too."

Rong Zhan, the oldest of the group, said, "We were all bought when we were young, and we've long forgotten our original surnames. We forgot to tell our master that we were actually picked up by the old man on the battlefield. Later, we were sent to learn martial arts. After a few years of wandering around the martial arts world, we offended someone and followed our previous master again."

Rong Shen said, "I am a beggar. The old man gave me a cake and sent me to a friend to teach me how to eat."

Rong Qianqi said, "My family has been carving craftsmen for generations. A natural disaster killed everyone in the family, leaving me alone. It doesn't matter what my last name is."

Rong Wanli lowered his head and said nothing. Instead, Rong Zhan spoke for him, "Xiao Qi is a descendant of the Rong family army and came from Fuxinzhuang."

It turns out that they all have some connection with Earl Jian'an. No wonder they are willing to travel thousands of miles to search for the Rong family. What a pity!

"Then let's just use the surname Rong, the Rong of the Rong Family Army."

This seemed to be trying to convey some message. Rong Wanli was the most sensitive and confirmed very seriously, "We are your people, master, no matter our last name."

Rong Tang just smiled, "Same."

He knew it was different, and he trusted these people, but such affectionate and righteous men should not be someone else's servants all their lives. They should have their own lives.

"What about me?" Gui Ergou looked at him eagerly. "Master, you don't know, these days the kids in the village have been calling me Brother Dog. It's so embarrassing."

He was already 20 years old, and he had always been out of touch. In the village, many of his age had two children and were busy making a living. When he had nothing to do, he would take the little boys in the village to climb trees to catch birds and go to the river to catch fish. He became the leader of the children and was very powerful. But his name was not good. It sounded too bad.

"Why, you also want to be named Rong?"

Gui Ergou looked conflicted. It was a great honor for a servant to have the master's surname. Most servants only had a cheap name or a code name throughout their lives and were not worthy of having a surname.

but……

"Master, it's not that I'm ungrateful. My surname isn't my real one, it's my mother's. I want to take care of her in her old age and see her to the end. I'm afraid that after being apart for so long, she'll have changed and I won't be able to recognize her anymore."
