Two stone lions are entrenched in front of the vermilion gate, showing great momentum. It seems that Xia Ping's corruption of family tradition has not greatly reduced the status of Xia Mansion in Qingyang Town.
Lin Yan originally thought that he would never come here again or walk inside.
But now that he is here, he must let those who have bullied and insulted him learn a lesson and let himself feel proud. Otherwise, Lin Yan will feel sorry for himself.
The carriage stopped and Xia Anzhi got off first.
Two gatekeepers standing on both sides of the vermilion door greeted Xia Anzhi respectfully. At the same time, one of them grabbed a brass ring and slowly opened the door.
"Lin Yan, please."
After Xia An got out of the car, she did not immediately step onto the steps, but made a gesture of invitation toward the carriage.
Lin Yan? The two gatekeepers were very strange. When did the Xia Mansion have such a respected guest? Until now, the two of them still have not connected this guest with the famous "trash" and "waste".
to one piece.
The black cloth hanging on the carriage was torn open, and a pair of feet wearing worn leather boots were first exposed.
The two gatekeepers couldn't help but secretly despise them: They were both wearing such low-grade shoes, how could they deserve the word "please" from the owner of the house?
But when a smiling face came out of the carriage, the two of them were so surprised that they covered their mouths with their hands and leaned against the door frame. There was no movement for a while, looking dazed.
Lin Yan landed deftly and without any pretense, he naturally climbed up the steps and walked in front of the two of them.
One of them looked at Xia Anzhi, then at Lin Yan who was very close at hand, and shook his head desperately, as if to remind himself that this must be an illusion, an illusion!
The other person's expression was equally exaggerated. He covered his mouth vigorously, but his eyes were as big as bells. He obviously didn't believe what he heard and saw.
"Why, you are mute and don't recognize Lin Yan anymore. Why don't you call someone quickly?" Xia Anzhi used this method to highlight Lin Yan's current identity and help Lin Yan feel proud.
"Hello Lin Yan."
No matter how stupid they were, they knew that Lin Yan, who had been away from the Xia Mansion for a few months, was no longer what he used to be. Although they couldn't figure out how Lin Yan got rich, even the head of the family respected him, let alone a little janitor like him.
?
"Do you think the shoes I'm wearing are tacky and tasteless?"
Lin Yan was too lazy to respond and asked deliberately. The two gatekeepers had made fun of him before, and now it was time for them to learn a lesson.
"No, no." The two shook their heads like clappers.
Xia Anzhi helped Lin Yan at the right time.
"In the future, don't look down on others casually. If you can't learn to look at people with a straight face, you will be fired immediately." Xia Anzhi said unceremoniously.
The two of them broke out in cold sweat and reluctantly agreed.
"Come on, please go in and talk, Lin Yan." Xia Anzhi made another "please" gesture.
The two stepped through the door, leaving two gatekeepers with stunned faces.
After Lin Yan entered the door, he first turned a corner and then walked through a corridor. When he reached the deep courtyard, he found a large group of people gathered in the courtyard. One side was clearly dressed as a warrior, and it looked like there were five teaching teachers behind him.
The people are causing trouble again.
Xia Anzhi's face remained calm, but he was overjoyed in his heart that things had happened so coincidentally. With Lin Yan here, troubles were no longer troubles.
A servant had already taken the new thread-bound book from Xia Anzhi's hand, and looked at Lin Yan standing side by side with the head of the family in astonishment. They couldn't figure out how the notorious handyman of Xia Mansion could stand here so calmly.
.
The first person to notice Lin Yan was the housekeeper who was used to looking down on others.
"Hey, isn't this Lin Yan who drowned and survived? Why, are you going back to Xia Mansion when you have time?" The housekeeper looked at the worn-out shoes Lin Yan was wearing with disdain and said in a sinister tone.
"Well, I'm back." Lin Yan said coldly.
Xia Anzhi wanted to make Lin Yan proud, so he naturally would not scold the housekeeper, but instead waited with a hint of joking to see the housekeeper embarrassed.
The butler looked at Xia Anzhi, whose expression was still there and did not mean to blame him. He thought that Lin Yan was still the handyman of the Xia Mansion. He immediately felt confident, his face darkened, and he said slowly and in the usual arrogant tone of the butler: "
Why, the days outside are difficult and you are reminded of the warm life in the house where you have no worries about food and drink? The owner of the house is kind-hearted and brought you back. However, I have to remind you in advance that our house does not support idle people, so you can continue to do your chores.
Serve?"
The housekeeper probably hadn't thought about how Xia Ping, a dignified warrior, died at the hands of what he called a handyman. He just habitually thought that Lin Yan was still the lowly Lin Yan before.
Lin Yan smiled coldly again.
"Hey, don't talk about your matters in a hurry. Let's talk about how to compensate us first." A group of warriors next to them finally couldn't hold themselves back, and a bald man shouted in a rough voice.
When the housekeeper heard this, he immediately stopped and cast his pleading eyes on the head of the family, Xia Anzhi. He did not dare to ridicule Lin Yan any more, lest he make the bald man impatient and beat him up, which would be a huge loss.
However, a scene appeared that made his heart twitch violently.
"Everything is troublesome for Lin Yan."
Xia Anzhi turned sideways and cupped his hands towards Lin Yan, bowing respectfully.
The head of the family actually saluted the handyman? The housekeeper felt that if he wasn't dazzled, the head of the family must have taken the wrong medicine today. How could He De, a mere handyman, be treated with such courtesy by the head of the family?
"Lin Yan?"
A confused voice came from among the group of warriors, and then a middle-aged man with a long face came out, looked at Lin Yan carefully, and then said "Huh" in surprise, his face suddenly changed, and he hurriedly said respectfully: "Your Excellency, could it be that
Is this the hero Lin Yanlin who was invited by Senior Tianxuan to visit Xuan Tianju?"
"Brother, you're very polite. It's me." Lin Yan replied with a smile.
"Damn it, brothers are too blind to see Taishan. Please forgive me, Master Lin."
The long-faced man didn't pay attention to Lin Yan before because he believed that Lin Yan's identity would make a mere butler laugh so sarcastically. However, after he clearly recognized Lin Yan's identity, he immediately handed over and apologized.
All the warriors behind the long-faced man also bowed their hands to Lin Yan almost at the same time. Their expressions were extremely respectful, and their demeanor was completely different from the fierce look they had when they came to Xia Mansion to blackmail!
The housekeeper felt that his head went blank, the world began to turn upside down in his eyes, and his heart was beating wildly. At this moment, he felt that he was finished. He was so ignorant that he could not even see the warriors.
People who want to treat each other with courtesy are offended so miserably!
"Lin Yan, Brother Lin, I am blind, and I will apologize to you right now!" The housekeeper quickly ran to Lin Yan's side and began to apologize with a sad face.
Lin Yan snorted lightly.
When the housekeeper heard this, he felt horrified and frightened. His whole body trembled, and he fell to his knees directly with his head on the ground. He begged for mercy: "Brother Lin, it's all my fault that I'm short-sighted. You don't care."
If you live like a villain, don't behave like a villain."
Seeing the butler's change of expression so quickly, even Xia Anzhi couldn't stand it anymore.
Xia Anzhi frowned and said coldly: "Xia Mansion has always had a fair family tradition and cannot tolerate the housekeeper's arrogant style. Butler, you can leave Xia Mansion and take care of yourself. Mr. Accountant, go and settle this month's wages."
To the butler."
The butler's face suddenly turned pale, he knelt on the ground and nodded, desperately begging for forgiveness.
"You'd better pack your things quickly. If others help pack it, I'm afraid many things in the housekeeper's room won't be able to be taken out of the Xia Mansion." Xia Anzhi said with a cold face.
The meaning of this is very clear. Your housekeeper is not a good person. In the Xia Mansion for so many years, he has bullied his servants and flattered his master, and he must have paid a lot of money. I told you to get out of here just to save your face.
"Damn it, how dare you be disrespectful to Hero Lin and not pack up your things, get out now. If you don't get out, I'll make you look good. You're such a scornful guy!" The bald warrior was probably trying to please Lin Yan, or he really admired Lin Yan.
At this time, he started to curse angrily.
The housekeeper was so frightened that he trembled, his face was extremely ugly, he crawled and hurriedly left the courtyard, not even daring to express his anger.
"Lin Yan, are you satisfied with this?"
Xia Anzhi asked specifically.
Lin Yan's answer has touched the hearts of many people. Everyone in the Xia Mansion surrounding him had wonderful expressions and strange eyes. They all seemed to be holding their breath, as if they were very afraid that something would happen.
At this time, they naturally knew that Lin Yan was someone they could not offend. They were worried about all the things he had done to Lin Yan in the past. They were very worried that Lin Yan would wave his hand in anger and say: "I'm all fired."
.”
Didn’t the previous housekeeper just leave in despair, let alone this group of people?
"That's it." Lin Yan said softly, not intending to drive everyone out of the Xia Mansion just to vent his anger.
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief and were both grateful and in awe of Lin Yan.
At this time, the long-faced man gave Lin Yan a fist and said, "It's a blessing to see Mr. Lin today. Mr. Lin is busy, so let's go first."
Xia Anzhi smiled happily and said casually: "What about compensation?"
The group of warriors had already walked away, and the voice came from afar: "That's a misunderstanding, a misunderstanding!"
"Thank you, Lin Yan."
Seeing that the matter was solved so easily, Xia Anzhi immediately thanked him.
Just at this time, several people dressed as hunters broke in outside the courtyard. Seeing Xia Anzhi, they said hurriedly: "Master Xia, I wonder if Xia Mansion's hunting team is ready?"
Xia Anzhi waved his hand, and several men from the Xia Mansion holding bows and arrows walked up. Xia Anzhi immediately found Lin Yan beside him, and quickly smiled and said: "A tiger appeared in Qingyang Town recently and killed several hunters.
, so that hunters no longer dare to go hunting alone in the mountains, so they found me and hoped that I could send people to hunt. Since you happen to be here, Lin Yan, would you be willing to do this favor for the villagers? "
"good."
Lin Yan agreed without saying a word.
Tigers are not ordinary ferocious beasts. Even if hunters find them, they are difficult to kill. If we can help them solve the problem, we can avoid the tragedy of tigers hurting people again.
Soon, Lin Yan and his seven-person hunting team left Xia Mansion and walked towards the mountains on the river bank.
