The person inside the door sneered, and pushed the door harder with his hand, but the door did not move at all. Although the man inside the door was not a spiritual master, he had good hard skills. If ordinary people wanted to compete with him, he really was not his opponent.
But the child in front of him, who looked to be only thirteen or fourteen years old, could actually compete with him with one hand, and it seemed effortless.
"Hey, you are still a spiritual master! Licheng is not a place where you can run wild! I am the third housekeeper of the house! The nursing home in the house has already recruited enough, so you can try your luck elsewhere..."
The third housekeeper with a sharp mouth and monkey cheeks squeezed out from the crack in the door. He looked Lin Chuan up and down with his small mung bean eyes, and his tone was gentler than before.
The third housekeeper suddenly looked away and stared at Qiao Waner behind Lin Chuan. Her little eyes suddenly shone brightly and she thought that the little girl was so fair and juicy that she was definitely a beauty.
Seeing that his eyes were not good, Wan'er subconsciously hid behind Lin Chuan.
"Wait a minute, how old are you two?"
"The boy is thirteen years old, and his roommate is six years old. The boy was reckless just now. I hope the third housekeeper will do a good deed and provide a way out for my brother and sister. I can also do some menial labor." Lin Chuan quickly bowed and saluted.
"Hmm... The house seems to be short of a gardener. I wonder if you can do it?" The third housekeeper's eyes were still on Wan'er, his mung bean eyes were spinning, and his face was like an old fox that had become a spirit, and he was thinking.
It took a moment to speak.
"It can be done! It can be done! I have done the work of a gardener before. I beg the third housekeeper to give me a chance..." When Lin Chuan saw that there was a way, he thought that he would deal with it first and wait until he entered the house.
Let’s talk about it later.
"Wait! Let's talk first. As a spiritual master, you should also know that there is a shortage of spiritual fluids nowadays. Since you are doing ordinary people's work, you can only receive some scraps of money every month, so forget about spiritual fluids. You
Maybe you agree!?" The third housekeeper looked at Lin Chuan suspiciously. Have all the spiritual masters nowadays been reduced to this? Doing something is not better than being a handyman. He must be dragged down by the girl around him.
in this way.
"Okay...as long as we, my brothers and sisters, can be fed, clothed, and given a place to stay." Lin Chuan didn't think about the spiritual fluid at all. He just wanted to find a place to settle down before making any plans.
"Very good! You two can follow me into the house now!" The third housekeeper turned around and walked in with a sinister smile on his lips. Recently, the master's family has needed to use a golden boy and a beautiful girl as a sacrifice for ancestor worship. Now the golden boy has been determined.
The Jade Girl has not been found yet. Now the Jade Girl has been delivered to the door by herself. Her age and appearance are suitable. When the time comes, this female doll will be presented to the head of the family, and the head of the family will definitely be richly rewarded.
"Hey! Follow quickly, Wan'er." Lin Chuan crossed the threshold and followed the third housekeeper into the Jia Mansion.
The vermilion door slammed shut, and Lin Chuan's heart trembled inexplicably. He looked back at the door with a bloody mouth, and shook his head mockingly.
Seven days later, in the back garden of Jia's house.
"Click... click..."
Lin Chuan tilted his head and pruned the flowers and trees in the garden carelessly. In the past, he often helped the palace craftsmen to prune the flowers and trees in the Royal Garden of the South Palace. He was often laughed at by his younger brother Shen Tuxun, who was seven years younger than him, and scolded him for being a prince.
He would quarrel and fight with her because of her servitude, but he couldn't defeat Shen Tuxun, who was a head shorter than him.
Shen Tuxun, his half-brother who even had a name that could be compared to him, was born in Lingxin at the age of three. At the age of seven, he was in the same state as Lin Chuan today. He was unparalleled in talent and was loved by the Southern Emperor. Lin was often bullied to a fault.
Chuan was also reprimanded by the Southern Emperor, who accused him of not having the character of his eldest brother and being so narrow-minded that he could not even tolerate his younger brother, so how could he tolerate the world? He was accused of not caring about his status as a prince, losing the majesty of the royal family, and being unable to shoulder the important responsibilities of the country, which made him sad.
.
The fluttering butterflies pulled Lin Chuan out of his thoughts, and his red eyes became clear again.
"Hey! New boy! The third housekeeper asked you to go to the flower market to buy some crabapples. Don't delay tomorrow's guests' garden viewing!" A rough-looking man threw a bag of broken silver towards Linchuan from a distance of more than ten meters.
"Okay! That... big brother... alas..." Lin Chuan sighed heavily as he watched the big man leave in a hurry, then bent down to pick up the bag.
After Lin Chuan entered Jia's house, he spent every day besides eating and sleeping playing with these flowers and plants.
People in the mansion seemed to be very busy every day. The first housekeeper and the second housekeeper often went out with the nurse. They would go out at three o'clock and return at five o'clock. It was difficult to see clearly in the dark, and when they came back, everyone had bulging bags in their hands.
sack.
Out of curiosity, Lin Chuan inquired with other handymen, but only got the news that the Jia family would hold an ancestor worship ceremony tomorrow, and could not comment on anything else.
It is said that the first housekeeper and the second housekeeper are both high-level spiritual masters in the earth spirit realm, and they spend the whole day practicing in a separate courtyard of the Jia Mansion with a group of spiritual masters guarding the courtyard.
It can be said that these three housekeepers, Jia San'er, are the real housekeepers of Jia's house, and he handles all the affairs of the house, large and small.
On weekdays, no one took the initiative to say a word to him except when the steward told him to do things. He always felt that everything in the house was strange.
Lin Chuan dusted the branches and leaves on his body and walked towards the backyard.
The backyard of the Jia Mansion was full of female relatives, and it was inconvenient for Lin Chuan to enter. Qiao Waner had not seen Lin Chuan since she was taken into the backyard by an old nanny. When she went to inquire, the maids and nannies used various excuses to shirk her away.
, saying that Miss Wan'er is studying with Miss Jia's family, or practicing calligraphy with Miss Jia's family...
At this moment, I am more worried than missing. I wonder how that girl is spending these days.
Lin Chuan announced that if he didn't see his girl today, he wouldn't leave. He waited at the door of the backyard for a long time before he saw a maid enter the backyard.
"Sister, please come on. Could you please help me find a girl in the backyard?" Lin Chuan immediately stepped forward and bowed deeply to Heyan and said.
"Who?" The maid couldn't help but blush slightly when she saw his handsome appearance. She looked around until no one was around before asking softly.
"My sister Qiao Waner, the third housekeeper asked me to go out and buy some flowers and trees. I want to take her to the market." Lin Chuan replied immediately.
The maid hummed and turned around to leave.
"Hey~ uh... thank you sister!" Lin Chuan was a little confused and had to wait.
After a while, the maid came out and replied, saying that Wan'er was playing chess with the young lady, and the young lady was very interested and did not want her to leave, so she asked Lin Chuan to go to the market alone.
After hearing this, Lin Chuan was a little annoyed and said that if he couldn't see his sister in a stick of incense, he would force his way into the backyard and find her! At worst, he would have to find another place to make a living.
Watching the sunset and dusk, the time for a stick of incense has long passed, and there is still no sign of Qiao Wan'er. Lin Chuan's heart skipped a beat and he rushed straight to the backyard, but was stopped by two guards guarding the gate.
As soon as Lin Chuan thought, the spiritual power in his skull was released, instantly filling the meridians of the whole body. Just as he was about to attack the two nurses, he suddenly heard a familiar soft voice called "brother", and Lin Chuan pushed them away.
When I took a closer look, my brows suddenly lit up with joy.
As soon as the person arrived, Qiao Waner ran towards Linchuan with her maroon skirt in hand.
"Wan'er! Let me see my brother! Well... I'm a little fatter than when I first came here." Lin Chuan bent down and pinched Qiao Wan'er's pink little face.
"Brother, Wan'er doesn't want to stay here anymore. The people here are like wood and cold. They don't want to talk to Wan'er. Except for that Miss Jia family who will come to play with me, but her temper is too bad and she often scolds her.
Wan'er, Wan'er doesn't like her..."
"Stop talking nonsense..." Lin Chuan started to speak but was interrupted by Wan'er again.
"And Wan'er often hears crying at night. Wan'er is so scared that she doesn't dare to sleep... Wuwu..." Qiao Wan'er threw herself on Lin Chuan's shoulder and started crying as she spoke.
"Crying? What crying?" Lin Chuan frowned and asked.
"Wan'er heard the cries of many, many children..."
Lin Chuan frowned more and more, and suddenly saw two nurses looking at him with unkind eyes. Then he smiled, patted Wan'er's head and said warmly: "You! I'm afraid you have a nightmare. Let's go! Brother, take me with you.
Go take a look around Lizhou City and buy some candied haws for you to eat!"
After saying that, he took Wan'er's little hand and walked out of the house.
