In Yuejing City, in stark contrast to the South District is the West District.
Contrary to the uniform high-rise houses in the southern district, the western district is full of uneven one-story houses, and all the people living in them are handymen engaged in the lowest-level jobs, small businessmen and other poor families. Of course, there are also some rogue idlers who do nothing, and down-and-out families who moved from other districts also live here.
On the other hand, the eastern district, which is far away from the western district, is home to some wealthy businessmen.
Although these families couldn't live in the southern district because they didn't have official positions, the mansions and courtyards were built more and more magnificently. All of them spared no expense to make their own houses stand out in the neighborhood, so that they can overwhelm other big households.
Of course, there are also a few houses with names and surnames, which makes it impossible for people nearby to feel a sense of comparison. Not only do they occupy a larger area and have a richer atmosphere than others, but the people who live in them are even wealthy businessmen.
The super house in the corner of the East District - Qin Zhai, is such a wealthy family.
It covers an area of tens of mu, and everyone who knows the land price in the capital can't help but be tongue-tied for a long time.
The Qin family is not only wealthy, they monopolize a quarter of the copper mine business in the Yue country, and it is said that their patriarch is even more powerful, and there are high-ranking officials in the court to speak out for them.
The servants of such a noble family are naturally full of confidence, and they speak much louder than the servants of other houses.
Qin Gui, the concierge at the door of the Qin Residence, thought so.
Every time anyone who came to the Qin residence and wanted to see the head of the family, no matter what their identities and backgrounds, or whether they held official positions or not, they would all be very polite to him, a small servant of the Qin family, and would not dare to offend him in the slightest.
Over time, this made Qin Gui almost feel that he is also a big shot.
Therefore, later on, whenever someone sent a greeting card asking to see someone from the Qin family, some filial piety would naturally be indispensable. Otherwise, Qin Gui would naturally not give him a good look, maybe after three or four days of shelving. It may not be possible to give a general report.
Of course, if some well-known people really came to the door, Qin Gui would still behave in a well-behaved manner, completely showing the appearance of a loyal servant who worked hard.
For those young masters and ladies who often come in and out, they are extremely attentive.
Needless to say, in this way, Qin Gui really satisfied many masters. There are even gossips that he will be promoted to foreign affairs manager recently, and he can be released to take charge of a certain business. After Qin Gui found out, his heart became more and more elated. I've been feeling a little light when I walk these days.
Now, Uncle Qin Gui moved a long bench and was lying on it to escape the heat in the shade by the gate. Early this morning, the head of the family went out to discuss business. Several young masters and young ladies also went to the nearby Chongshan Temple with other young masters and buddies. Apart from a few wives, only the widowed cousin still lives in the house. exist.
This also allowed him to breathe a sigh of relief. You can rest assured to sneak a day or two.
When Qin Gui was a little confused by the cool breeze, suddenly there was a timid voice of a young man in front of him.
"Excuse me, is this the Qin residence?"
Qin Guigang's drowsiness was disturbed by the sound, and he felt extremely uncomfortable. Before he opened his eyes, he yelled loudly, "What are you shouting for? Crying! I didn't see your nobleman. Did you just lie down!"
After saying this, Qin Guicai reluctantly opened his eyes and looked around, with an angry look on his face.
This is also what he learned from the other party's cowardly voice. Preemptively thinking that the other party is a small character, that's why he dared to treat him so presumptuously.
Qin Gui finally saw clearly the person speaking in front of him, it was a rough cloth man in his mid-twenties, his appearance was ordinary and inconspicuous. It also reveals a rustic atmosphere from the inside out, clearly a bumpkin who just came to the city from the countryside!
Seeing this, Qin Gui became more confident.
He sat up, and without saying a word, it was a good training, as if disturbing his uncle Qin Gui's rest was a heinous crime, which was unforgivable!
This reprimand, Qin Gui's blunt speech, continued for a full cup of tea, and he still didn't give up, and this rustic young man seemed to be dumbfounded by what Uncle Qin said, showing tongue-tied and bewildered He only knew that he was listening to Qin Gui's censure foolishly!
After a long while, Qin Gui completely vented his evil fire, and then stopped berating.
Then he squinted at the young man, and seemed to remember the question he asked at the beginning, so he asked casually: "What are you doing in our Qin residence? We don't lack handymen and servants here, so we should leave as soon as possible." ! It’s not easy to be a servant of this house! Not all people with unknown origins are accepted, so let’s find a guarantor first and then talk about it!”
Relying on his past experience, Qin Gui immediately concluded that this young man whose earthy smell had not faded must be whimsical and wanted to find an errand in the Qin residence. He had seen many such people!
"I'm not looking for a job... Qin Yan is my uncle, this is a letter my family asked me to bring to Uncle Qin!" The young man seemed to have just woken up from the stormy reprimand, and after listening to Qin Gui's words, He hastily took out a crumpled letter from his bosom, and stammered an explanation to Qin Gui.
"What? The master is your uncle!" Qin Gui was feeling his mouth dry, and when he wanted to take a few sips from a nearby teapot, he was so frightened by the young man's words that he spit out the tea directly, and his face paled in shock. asked.
"This... I don't know, but my family asked me to call him Uncle Qin!" The young man scratched his head with an embarrassed look on his face.
But this time, Qin Gui didn't dare to laugh at the other party lightly anymore, if this person really had something to do with his master, he wouldn't have any good fruit to eat.
So after hesitating for a while, he asked cautiously: "Can I let you take a look at this letter? Your Excellency, please don't worry, I just read the letter and never dare to open it!"
Hearing what Qin Gui said, the young man unexpectedly nodded in agreement, and while handing the letter to him, he muttered, "I originally wanted to give this letter to you so that you could help pass it on to me." For Uncle Qin!"
Qin Gui took the crumpled letter and glanced at it quickly.
Although there are few ordinary servants who can read and write, but Qin Gui attended a private school for half a year when he was a child, so he can read and write. That's why the porter, a job envied by countless servants, fell to him.
"Nephew Qin Yanxian, from you!" The big black characters on the envelope made Qin Gui's heart skip a beat, and he seemed to be his master's elder.
Thinking of this, Qin Gui's expression immediately changed, he tried his best to squeeze out a few smiles, and said to the young man, "My lord, my master is not here, but the wives are all in the house, do you want to forward this letter to your wife?" Qin Gui's attitude changed drastically, and even his title was upgraded immediately.
"This can't be done! This letter must be opened by Uncle Qin himself!" The young man hesitated, and finally shook his head resolutely.
"That's it, why don't I report back to Madam first, and see how Madam will reply to Your Excellency?"
Qin Gui didn't dare to let the young man go, if he was delayed by something important, he would be in great trouble later on. But if you leave it to Madam to deal with, it doesn't matter to him. Qin Gui has been a servant in the world for so long, so he still has some tricks.
This time the young man agreed.
After Qin Gui heaved a sigh of relief, he hurriedly called a family member passing by to help him keep an eye on the young man for the time being, and ran into the house by himself.
The other servants I met were a little surprised to see his butt burning like this!
Qin Gui ran directly to the backyard, and after saying a few words to a maid with big feet who was watching the yard, he returned to the gate in peace of mind and waited for a reply.
After returning to the door, Qin Guigang and the young man laughed a few words, and a good-looking little girl trotted over.
Walk to the front and back of the two of them. She glanced at the rustic young man with interest, and then dictated a message from a certain lady. Let the young man go to a side room to rest first, and then determine his identity after the master returns. After all, there are indeed many people in the Qin family. Maybe it was the elder who lived in the side room who came to the door for something!
Now that the above has already dealt with this matter, Qin Gui is relieved and continues to guard his gate.
And the little maid led the young man to the wing where the guests were temporarily entertained.
On the way, many people saw the rustic appearance of the young man and looked at him a little more in surprise, which seemed to make the young man feel uneasy. He simply lowered his head, just stared at the ground and followed the little maid silently.
Looking back at this, he couldn't help laughing out loud when he saw such a strange young maid. Smiling and looking at the man again, he felt that this man was very interesting.
After placing the young man in a side room of the front house, the little maid told the young man not to run around, then went back laughing and returned to his life.
When the little maid had just left the room, the young man who had a clumsy appearance suddenly straightened up, the foolishness in his eyes "suddenly" disappeared, and the whole person exuded a faint air of free and easy, how could there be any trace of it? Rustic in the body.
"I can't believe that this Qin family is so famous! It seems that the demonic people can't miss such an obvious target." The young man looked in the direction outside the house, frowned slightly, and muttered to himself.
He was the imperial weapon at full speed. After more than ten days of hard work, he finally arrived at Han Li in Yuejing, and Qin Zhai was the object Li Huayuan asked him to protect.
However, when Han Li thought of the identity that Li Huayuan had arranged for him, he couldn't help feeling very depressed.
In the letter, he actually asked the head of the Qin family to arrange for him to be a descendant of the Qin family, and asked Han Li to pretend to be a poor relative from the countryside, so that he could stay with the head of the Qin family in a concealed manner.
Although Han Li was a bit annoyed by his status as a poor boy in the country, he did not have any trouble dressing up. After all, when Han Li was a child, he was a real farm kid who came out of a remote village. How to behave like a child in his tone of voice and dealing with people was enough, so Han Li didn't have to worry too much about it.
After Han Li closed the door, he meditated on the bed and practiced Qi, hoping to improve his cultivation even while he was taking care of the Qin residence.
Unknowingly, after a big cycle between China and Han Li, it was already evening, when someone finally knocked on the door of the house.
Han Li regained his energy, and then the expression on his face faded completely, and he immediately restored the image of that rustic fool.
After opening the door, a servant dressed as a servant stood outside.
"My master has returned to the mansion. Madam is calling you over now. Come with me now!" The servant said to Han Li unceremoniously, then turned around and left. It seemed that he didn't pay much attention to Han Li.
It's no wonder that this person is different from Qin Gui who guards the gatehouse.
As a confidant of a certain lady, he sees quite a few poor relatives in the Qin Mansion who come to the Qin Mansion every year to play the autumn wind, so naturally he doesn't take it seriously.
According to this person's thinking, most likely the master will send him back with some silver after receiving this bumpkin for a while, and he will not let him stay in the mansion for a while at all!
And Han Li honestly agreed, followed this person out of the wing room, and went straight to the living room of the Qin Residence.
At this time, in the living room, a graceful and luxurious woman in her forties was talking about Han Li to Qin Yan, the head of the Qin family who was sitting in the main seat.
"Since you dare to trust me, you probably won't fake it! It seems that some family elder has asked someone to come to you."
"See what are the requirements? If it's not too much, please try to satisfy it! Don't let our family get a bad reputation in the family for disliking poor relatives."
Qin Yan is about fifty years old, but because he is well maintained, he looks like a person in his forties, without showing any signs of aging. Now he took a sip of bird's nest tea, moistened his throat, and said slowly.
