Chapter 258 Identity determines behavior
He looked at Zhang Qingshan and the other two carefully, and finally his eyes fixed on Zhang Qingshan. After staring at him for a while, he sighed and said, "The Red Army is indeed a true friend and a true brother."
Zhang Qingshan nodded, and was about to say something to comfort him, and then asked him tactfully what he could do to help. But he never expected that Lausanne really treated him as a brother, and he was not polite to speak at all, in fact, a straightforward person often treated the other party as a brother, and he would explain it directly even if he couldn't do anything.
"My tribe members have a hard time, please help them."
Zhang Qingshan nodded solemnly, looked at the other party's eyes, and said in a very firm tone: "Brother Lausanne, as long as we can help, just say it."
"I remember you told me before that you would build a city wall, right?"
"right!"
"Will you repair the house?"
"Yes!" Zhang Qingshan became interested, and his eyes faintly showed the light of expectation.
"Can you ask my tribe members to teach me to build a house?" After saying that, maybe because he was afraid that Zhang Qingshan would refuse. After all, in this era, teaching his apprentices to starve the master to death is the rule. Clean slurry and other crafts are all the skills of each family to eat. Who would teach everyone generously? He quickly added: "Of course, I know that you will leave here sooner or later, and I will not waste your time. As long as you practice it a few times, then tell them the necessary proportions. Moreover, as long as you can teach them, I am willing to pay any price, as long as I have it."
"Lausanne, we are brothers. If you say this, you will see you. Don't worry, I will teach them as much as I can."
Luosang's eyes turned red a little, and he stared at Zhang Qingshan's eyes carefully. After a long time, he suddenly gave Zhang Qingshan a hug and said softly: "Thank you!"
Zhang Qingshan patted his back a few times and smiled and said, "We brothers, I won't say thank you."
"Okay!" Lausanne also smiled and answered loudly, letting go of Zhang Qingshan, turned around and attacked the butler and three young men standing seven or eight meters away. The four of them quickly trotted over and stopped about two meters away from Lausanne, each lowering his head and bowing slightly, which absolutely reflects the strict system under the serf system.
Lausanne called out to the butler. The butler quickly walked forward for two small steps, bent, looked up at Lausanne, and waited.
Then Lausanne introduced to Zhang Qingshan: "This is my butler, Dawang. He can speak Chinese, so he will be a translator for you, and then introduce you to the specific situation and you can tell him what you want."
After saying that, he turned his head and said to the butler Dawang in Chinese: "This is my brother Zhang Qingshan. His words are mine. His orders are my orders. Anyone who dares to violate them will do the rules."
"The villain Dawang has met Lord Zhang and two masters." Dawang knelt down to Zhang Qingshan even more respectfully. Zhang Qingshan was about to step forward to stop him from kneeling and bowing, but was stopped by Luosang, which made Zhang Qingshan look at Luosang in a little shocked manner. Luosang smiled slightly and said, "Brother Qingshan, I am really sorry. I am so tired. I want to go and rest, so I won't be with you for now. Let's have a good drink tonight."
He nodded at Zhou Ping and Zhou Baoyu with a smile and left.
Looking at Lausanne's back, then looking at Dawang's respectful expression. Thinking about Luosan's sudden stop just now, Zhang Qingshan suddenly understood what Lausanne meant: In Lausanne's eyes, Zhang Qingshan and four others were his friends and guests, while Dawang and others were his slaves. If it weren't for Dawang to assist Zhang Qingshan in doing this, I'm afraid that he would not have introduced Dawang to Zhang Qingshan until now. Didn't the three young men behind him even have no qualifications to be introduced? So, from a hierarchical perspective, his friends and he are both aristocratic, and his slaves are low-ranking slaves. How could they get along with each other equally? Isn't that the face of beating him?
At the same time, he also understood that Lausanne's goodness to the tribe is to refer to integrity, and definitely not to individuals, because this is due to the needs of external environment and dominance. But the authority and class level of individuals must be maintained, otherwise, where does his dominance and majesty exist?
Thinking about this, Zhang Qingshanji felt the cruelty of the strict hierarchy, like a mountain, which made him feel cold and he hadn't come back to his senses for a long time.
Dawang and others were obviously used to this kind of strict rule. Seeing Zhang Qingshan stunned, they didn't even dare to look at it, but instead they bent their waists and lowered their heads, let alone raised their heads.
Zhou Baoyu was a little embarrassed and gently pulled Zhang Qingshan's sleeve. Seeing Zhang Qingshan turning his head blankly, Zhou Baoyu whispered to Dawang and the other two, Zhang Qingshan came to his senses.
"Mr. Dawang, what are you doing? Get up! Get up!"
Zhang Qingshan just called the other party a gentleman, and it was obvious that Dawang was trembling all over. He was so scared that he knelt on the ground. While kowtowing, he said nervously, "Sir Zhang, please spare me, please spare me." Zhang Qingshan was a little embarrassed. He was not used to the other party's behavior, so he hurried over and wanted to help him up.
You know, Dawang is the great butler of Lausanne. He is more than ten thousand people in this small tribe, but he is so scared because of a very ordinary title. Moreover, when Lausanne is not present, he really shows the power of the four words "stricken system".
But what Zhang Qingshan never expected was that this majesty had not been shown to its extreme.
He walked over and tried to help him up, but his hands were not even touching Dawang who was kneeling there and laying his hands flat on the ground. However, he saw Dawang retreating quickly, so frightened that he didn't even dare to stand up and couldn't even speak.
This slave's deep-rooted fear of the noble class made Zhang Qingshan frown, but he did not force the other party anymore. However, Zhou Baoyu behind him muttered, "Is this too scary?"
The speaker was unintentionally and the listener was intentional. At this moment, Zhang Qingshan's heart suddenly became bright: Yes, this deep-rooted concept of hierarchy really made people from the lower class afraid from the heart, which can be seen from the three people who knelt on the ground and didn't even dare to say anything. But Dawang in front of him was an exception. He was the housekeeper of Lausanne and the confidant of Lausanne. Not to mention that Lausanne was not present, even if he was present, he should not be afraid of himself and the three of them should be so afraid of him. In Zhang Qingshan's view, his extreme fear was a bit too much, and he was a little embarrassed by Lausanne.
Then, there can only be an explanation: he is acting.
And his purpose of doing this, or the purpose of Lausanne sending him to perform like this, on the surface, was to the aristocratic Luosan think that Zhang Qingshan was a brother, so he naturally had to be considered awe in the aristocratic circle, and also to respect Zhang Qingshan. But the meaning of deeper is that Lausanne values Zhang Qingshan as a friend and is also grateful to the Red Army, but his status determines that he is not an enlightened gentleman. To put it bluntly, he cannot fully get to the Red Army. Then, the meaning of his sending Dawang to perform like this is obvious: everyone only regards personal friendship, not to mention the Red Army's policies to fight the local tyrants and divide the land. In layman's terms, this is a kind of tactful reminder and warning.
After understanding this, Zhang Qingshan looked at Dawang kneeling on the ground and felt a little angry. He thought: Since you love acting so much, you can express that meaning by playing poles. That's fine, I will act like a master today and let you, the butler, serve you well.
"Dawang, and you three, get up for me. I have something to ask you."
"Thank you, Lord Zhang."
After seeing Dawang get up, he bent slightly and his head half lowered, standing beside him like a loyal dog waiting for orders, waiting for his master's orders. Zhang Qingshan felt more and more uncomfortable. He put his hands behind his back and pretended to be a deputy master, and his voice became a little deeper: "Dawang, the brothers of Luosang want me to teach his tribe how to build a house, and the three of them were selected, so they must have a certain understanding of the house repair. How much do you know about them?"
"Recommendation to Lord Zhang, when the Central Red Army helped us build houses, some people in the clan learned some of them, and the three of them were the best in the clan middle school." Speaking of this, he looked up slightly at Zhang Qingshan, then quickly lowered his head and whispered: "Mr. Zhang, in fact, the master asked them to learn from you mainly because of thinking or thinking. Actually, I don't know how to describe it, or to take your step and go with me to see it. I believe you will know it after you look."
Otherwise, impressions are very important! Once a person has doubts about certain things in his heart, he will instinctively doubt any words of the other party and then analyze them.
Not that Dawang's statement is reasonable and there is nothing to be criticized for, but Zhang Qingshan heard that Dawang had previously performed deliberately to convey that meaning: You, the butler, really, be as respectful as the aristocratic people as before, then, do whatever the master asked you to do, where did you get the courage to supplement it?
I thought so, but I still had to do what I promised. Besides, Zhang Qingshan also became curious about what Dawang was hesitant but could not express.
"Take me to see."
Soon, we came to a place where cattle and sheep were herds. Next to the sheep pen, there was a very old and tattered small bun. Because half a meter thick layer of cow, sheep and horse manure was piled up around the buns, because of the heavy rain last night, the outer layer of these poops looked sticky, not only disgusting, but also thick. Even people like Zhou Baoyu, who were born as poor people and became beggars everywhere, couldn't help but frown deeply about such a living environment.
Although the three apprentices who followed Zhou Baoyu didn't care much about such an environment, they looked at the four people kneeling outside the Tibetan Clan with disdain or indifferent eyes, which shows that their status exists everywhere.
But the main purpose of Dawang bringing Zhang Qingshan and the other two here is also related to the thick circle of cattle, sheep and horse manure outside the bun.
