Chapter 6: Hailing(3/5)

"Where is he?"

"Behind you."

Zhen Ping'er looked back and saw that there was no one or shadow. She turned her head and was about to have an attack when she suddenly saw the light and shadow of the teacup. She immediately understood and smiled happily.

"Sir is indeed amazingly talented. If you observe it carefully, the small flaws will allow the teacher to get the answer you want. Ping'er admires it!"

"I dare not, but thank you for your hard work in the morning!" Changfeng said sarcastically.

"Why do you know again?" Zhen Ping'er also knew that she could not hide any secrets in front of him, so she had to tell her about it so that she would not be ridiculed by him again.

"I don't know, you told me?" Changfeng bought another cover and looked at Zhen Ping'er's strange expression with an interesting look.

Changfeng couldn't help laughing and said, "I looked at your feet and tried to test you. I didn't expect you to admit it!"

Zhen Ping'er asked carefully: "I'm following you, aren't you angry?"

Changfeng Rao Youshenyi looked at Zhen Ping'er's face and smiled, "Why am I angry?"

Zhen Ping'er's face turned red in an instant, adding a little more charming. Changfeng was also obsessed with it. Zhen Ping'er was so hard that she dared not speak out. Changfeng finally avenged the revenge of being ridiculed last night.

"This man, it's already the best. If you don't eat, please come to your room to rest. Are we going to do business here?" It was the inn's guy who woke up Changfeng who was in dementia.

"Eat, by the way, I forgot, man, just prepare lunch for us like last night." Changfeng came back to his senses and ordered the mate.

"Okay, you're waiting." The guy sang and went down to pass the message to the kitchen.

"Sir, I've been out early this time, why is this?" Zhen Ping'er asked.

"Didn't you follow me? Haven't you seen it?" Changfeng asked back.

"I don't have the skills of a gentleman. I just watched from afar and didn't dare to get close?" Zhen Ping'er replied aggrievedly.

"Are you blaming the sir for not taking you out?" Changfeng said.

"No, it's just Ping'er who wants to know where the sir is doing?" Zhen Ping'er replied.

Changfeng sighed, "Mr. I have a shortage of money. If I continue like this, I will have no money to stay and eat. Mr. I want to go there to see it and find an errand to live."

"Have you found it?" Zhen Ping'er asked anxiously. This also affects her food and clothing, so how could she not be anxious?

"How many families can go and try it." Changfeng took a few bites of the meal that the guy brought.

"Let me tell me, which ones do you have? Do you give me more money?" Zhen Ping'er seemed to be concerned about not the work itself, but how much money it was?

"The Lin Mansion has invited a banquet." At this time, the business of the inn and restaurant improved, more people became more and more lively, and I heard a table next to Changfeng talking.

"This time it's 10,000 taels of gold. Even if I do business for the rest of my life, I may not be able to make money. Unfortunately, I don't know a few words, otherwise I'd have to go and try it!" A diner said loudly in his drinking.

It doesn't matter, but it has attracted all the minds of drinking and eating to this table. Changfeng is not interested in this kind of conversation. However, Zhen Ping'er listens with great interest and forgets to eat the rice. She stares at the man's lips. Changfeng shook his head and sighs: "Little girl's character."

"You, no, do you know who this number one talented man in Jiangnan is?" A drunkard stood up and said to everyone.

"I have to say that of course it is Mr. Zou from our Hailing City." Another person raised his wine glass and said, almost everyone followed behind to make a fuss. The scene was really lively!

"Then do you know how long Mr. Zou has been working as a ceremonial in Lin Mansion?" The man asked quickly when he saw someone stealing his limelight.

Everyone said in unison that they didn't know. The man immediately took a sip of wine and said, "I can tell everyone, but this." He hesitated for a moment and stopped talking. Everyone was eager to get the answer, so they chased him and asked, "But what?"

"I know, all the food and drinks that this person eats and drinks here today are my master." Changfeng turned his head and saw that it was a rich young master. The young master Wu also saw Changfeng. Changfeng did not pay attention to the young master surnamed Wu, but stayed for a second, and left. Zhen Ping'er was unaware of it. He also thought that he was a rich young master. Only such a person would do such a rich thing.

"Thank you Mr. Wu!" The man who spoke clasped his fists and said to Mr. Wu, "Then I'll say it."

"Tell me quickly?" There were shouts in the hall.

The man cleared his throat and said, "This old master Zou has only been in Lin Mansion for five months and twenty-nine days!"

"Why?" "How do you know?" "Why can't you stay for one more day?" asked in the hall, with all kinds of guesses.

The man quickly waved his hand and said, "Quiet, listen quietly to me." Finally, people calm down and listen to the person who talked.

"I have a cousin who works in the Lin Mansion. My cousin said that by the 29th day of the fifth month, Master Zou was no longer able to teach Miss Lin anymore, so he had to go home!" The man explained seriously.

"Then he can get all his reward by staying for one more day for half a year?" someone asked in the hall.

"That's because he is a great contemporary scholar with backbone. How could he ruin his life's Qingming Festival for just money!" This was really what the young master named Wu said.

"Young Master Wu is really awesome!" The man took the lead and praised him. Suddenly, there was a sound of praise downstairs. Changfeng didn't want to listen, and he didn't want to listen. He just lowered his head to eat. After a while, the store calmed down. It turned out that Young Master Wu and the person who spoke had already left.

Changfeng reached out and pushed Zhen Ping'er, who was in a daze, and said, "I haven't eaten yet, the food is cold. What are you thinking?"

"No, eat." Zhen Ping'er lowered her head and squeezed her rice into her mouth.

Changfeng shook a pot of tea, and after Zhen Ping'er finished eating, he could go to the place he recorded in the morning to apply for the job.

"Sir, would you please go to apply for the job for the Western Conference?" Zhen Ping'er suddenly said this from her mouth, which shocked Changfeng to spit out the hot tea in her mouth.

There were still some people in the store who were savoring the wonderful scene just now. When they heard this sentence, they turned all their eyes on Changfeng's face. The words "surprise" were written on their faces, and their mouths were as if they were saying: "Only overestimate their abilities!"

Changfeng took a sip of tea and tried to calm himself down and said to Zhen Ping'er: "Your husband has been studying for a few years and wants to do an errand, but he is not an overestimator. Besides, you have heard that Mr. Zou, the most knowledgeable master in Hailing City, has been fired. Do you ask your husband to bring shame on himself?"

After hearing this, everyone took back their previous attention and ignored their table.

Zhen Ping'er looked at Changfeng and asked, "Do you dare not go, or are you afraid of losing face?"

"Stop causing trouble for me. Where is your home? Can I take you home?" Changfeng was really exhausted by this girl.

"If you are afraid, just say it. Why do you want to drive me away?" Zhen Ping'er's tears fell down. Looking at her tears, Changfeng felt soft and stopped talking.

"Man, come here." Zhen Ping'er wiped her tears and called the man.

"What's the matter, are you old?" the guy ran over and said in three steps.

"This is the Lin Mansion?" Zhen Ping'er asked.

Changfeng really couldn't smile bitterly. What was this little girl going to do? It seemed that she should have to force herself to send her to her family.

All she can do now is to see what she is doing coldly?

The young man told Zhen Ping'er all the way. Zhen Ping'er carefully interrogated the unknown, fearing that there would be any details, and she didn't let the guy go until she fully understood.

"What do you want to do?" Changfeng asked when he saw his friend leave.

"Go to apply for a job at Lin Mansion's seat!" Zhen Ping'er replied proudly.

"You go?" Changfeng was a little unbelievable if his ears were wrong.

"Can you go!" Zhen Ping'er said with disdain.

"You really want to go?" Changfeng asked again, but thought in his heart: Maybe she has some talent in her heart and I don't know. Seeing that she is a girl, she might be in line with the temper of the Lin family. I know this woman, so there is no reason to stop her. Just let her go. It is not embarrassing to be bombarded by others. If you have any worries in your heart, you can go.

"Of course, I want you to accompany me!" The tone of speaking was very certain, as if I knew Changfeng would definitely go with her.

"Aren't you afraid of being scolded and kicked out?" Changfeng still reminded Zhen Ping'er excitedly.

"You haven't agreed to go with me yet?" Zhen Ping'er didn't take this question seriously and urged her to ask.

"Why do you want me to accompany you?" Changfeng was puzzled that she had already known the path, so what else did he want him to do?

"I'm afraid if I can't apply for the job and you don't know where to go, what should I do if I'm alone?" Zhen Ping'er said a little scoundrel.

Changfeng thought that she was a lonely woman, although she had some martial arts skills, it would be fine if she met those people in the woods. If she had asked to send her home, it would not be too late to go tomorrow. With her own conditions, she should have no problem making a living, so she would have a chance to go with her.

Changfeng didn't say anything at the moment, but he agreed to accompany her. He called a clerk to settle the bill and let Zhen Ping'er lead him to the Lin Mansion.

This Hailing Lin Mansion is well-known. Jiangnan is the origin of silk, and the Lin family runs silk. His family's business is spread throughout the Crescent Continent. In addition, it also has a wealthy house. It is the first rich man to make a sharp mark on the Crescent Continent. Ten thousand taels of gold are a piece of cake for his family, and it is not an exaggeration to be rich enough to compete with a country.

This Hailing Lin Mansion is located in the northwest of Hailing City. The famous Yuanyang Lake in Hailing City is the private lake of Lin Mansion. However, the Lin family does not regard her as its own. It is open to all the people of Hailing City and does not charge any fees. It is the most beautiful place with the scenery of Hailing City. Not everyone can enter the manor located by the lake, because it is the heart of the Lin family, and the lady of the Lin family lives there, and of course, it also includes all the family members.

Changfeng and Zhen Ping'er walked on this ten-mile-long tree-lined avenue and personally felt the Lin family's status in Hailing City. No one was allowed to live in the ten-mile area outside the mansion. Just for one word, the lady of the Lin family likes tranquility and does not like the crowds, so naturally no one lives there. However, this ten-mile area is a beautiful and quiet place. If you can come here to practice qigong every morning, it would be a good place. Changfeng muttered in his heart.

Changfeng stood in front of the door that probably needed four people to push, and he refused to step forward with his feet. He wasn't here to apply for the job, so why was he anxious?

Zhen Ping'er had no choice but to go forward and call the door!

At the same time, the Taoist priest who left the fortune telling at the same time appeared at the door of the passenger station where Changfeng and Zhen Ping'er stayed. His tracking skills were unparalleled in the world. As long as he had met, he could find them in a few years.

Now he has changed into a Confucian shirt, and his flowing beard makes people feel more willing to get close. As soon as he walked into the inn door, he caught the attention of the shopkeeper and hurried forward and said, "Sir, should you be the best or stay in a hotel?"

He shook the folding fan in his hand and said, "None are."

The shopkeeper was surprised. The time for dinner had passed, and this person didn't look like he was here to eat, so he smiled and said, "Then why are you always here in my small shop?"

He played with the folding fan in his hand for a few more times and said, "Are you asking the boss for someone?"

"Who?" the shopkeeper asked.

He said Changfeng's appearance, and the guy next to him heard it and immediately said, "They went out after dinner."

"Then he didn't say where to go?" he asked immediately.

"I didn't say that, but his little book boy asked me about the road to the Lin Mansion!" The guy continued.

"Thank you!" He quickly came out of the door and came to Lin's mansion.

Behind him, the shopkeeper scolded the guy for being talkative.

Let’s talk about Zhen Ping’er coming forward to knock on the door. After finally opening the gap, the person inside had seen Zhen Ping’er’s face clearly and wanted to open the door, but Zhen Ping’er whispered and said, “Pretend to not know me! Be careful!” The person inside nodded suddenly and said, “I know, you have ordered!”

"The person behind me is here to apply for Mr. Xixi later. He doesn't know yet. Don't show off his mistakes." Zhen Ping'er said again.

"Did you know, you deceived this person back?" the servant asked again.

"It's a big deal. Did you ask me? Remember to inform the people in the mansion to pretend that they don't know me when they see me, and why don't you go quickly!"
