It is said to be a rest, but it is uncertain how long this "once" will last. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Tao Nian didn't have much to rest. Oh, here, it's mostly about the mood. Physically, none of the four of them had any strenuous exercise.

This incident was also out of Tao Nian's previous cognition, but Tao Nian always had a feeling of "nothing to do with himself, hanging high". In other words, Tao Nian believes that no matter how big or small, it is Lu Linlan's business. Now another one has been added, that is, everything that uses his brains is also Lu Linlan's business. As a result, Tao Nian's mood was easily stable.

Lu Linlan's two worlds traveled, especially in the previous life, and its complexity was far greater than that of the world of cultivating immortals. Therefore, Lu Linlan does not need to rest. When we say recuperate, we mean to let other people recuperate. And Lu Linlan took advantage of this time to think about the next step.

Regarding the matter of Zhongqingyuan this time, Dongfang seemed to understand whether he understood or not, but he did not deeply touch the soul. In general, there is such a phenomenon. That is to say, anyone who is stupid does not think too much. Dongfang Yiqiao is naturally not stupid, but her knowledge is indeed not very good.

――

The one who needs to rest the most is actually Qiu Shuyi. She will apply what she has experienced to the plot she already knows, and then be frightened, which is determined by her previous experience.

In the past, Qiu Shuyi really failed to go from the kingdom of necessity to the kingdom of freedom. By the time Lu Linlan discovered her and requisitioned her as her attendant, Qiu Shuyi was only an inconspicuous sixth-level Qi cultivator of the Eastern Yuan Sect. Even when I saw Lu Linlan, it was only through the relationship between the embroiderers that I was able to achieve it.

If you want to accurately understand Qiu Shuyi's situation, you can actually go further. When she saw Lu Linlan that day, Qiu Shuyi was not good in all aspects, but even then, she had to go through a lot of struggle to be like this. If you go any further, her situation will be even worse. Generally speaking, she is equivalent to someone else's servant, and she has to listen to other people's orders in every move.

To simplify, it is the earliest that Qiu Shuyi is a person who has no freedom at all, and his life is quite hard. Then she struggled, worked hard, and found freedom, but life did not change much, and it was still quite hard.

After that, Qiu Shuyi followed Lu Linlan.

In the beginning, it was a temporary employment relationship. Qiu Shuyi is the embroiderer specially selected by Lu Linlan in order to make that fan. During that period, none of Qiu Shuyi's actions were brilliant, and none of them were wrong. So, after the fan was made, Lu Linlan thought that the original good remuneration seemed to be less, and more compensation should be made.

However, Lu Linlan was very busy during that time. How much compensation will be added, and what the specific compensation will be, Lu Linlan didn't have time to think about it, so the matter dragged on.

The Dongyuan faction is still a sect with a relatively sound system. Lu Linlan held people here, and naturally someone asked. As a result, Qiu Shuyi and Lu Linlan changed from a temporary employment relationship to a long-term employment relationship.

After that, Lu Linlan felt that Qiu Shuyi was basically good.

Lu Linlan focuses on herself a lot of the time, treating everything around her as if she were nothing. At that time, Qiu Shuyi was as if it didn't exist, and it didn't interfere with Lu Linlan at all. In this regard, Lu Linlan attaches great importance to it.

Slowly, the relationship between the two gradually improved. It's just that Lu Linlan didn't give much cultivation resources to Qiu Shuyi.

Later, Qiu Shuyi married Lu Linlan and Jin Lan. In fact, Lu Linlan herself doesn't pay attention to this matter. And Qiu Shuyi, she didn't take it very seriously. She didn't dare to be pampered and coquettish because of her swearing, and she dared to be rude to Lu Linlan.

Later, what Lu Linlan gave her slowly got better. It can be said that they really regard themselves as good friends. Attention, it's a good friend, not a righteous sister. In Lu Linlan's dictionary, righteous brothers and sisters or something, that's all false.

Lu Linlan is getting better and better to Qiu Shuyi, and Qiu Shuyi can naturally feel it. However, Qiu Shuyi always felt that Lu Linlan should not be so good to herself. She felt that she didn't help Lu Linlan, and her background was not very good.

When it came to buying rabbits, Lu Linlan spread the word and asked Qiu Shuyi to act. At that time, Lu Linlan was concise and to the point, and finished in a few words, which didn't look like a joke. Qiu Shuyi naturally had no choice but to comply. It's just that Qiu Shuyi's heart is up and down, and she doesn't know why Lu Linlan lets herself act.

If you want to act, Dongfang has to cooperate with ingenuity. So Qiu Shuyi relayed Dongfang Yiqiao and put forward some requirements. Dongfang Yiqiao was originally an inferior person. And those who look down on the drama are mostly high-class people. So Dongfang Yiqiao still thinks acting is quite fun.

Then, as the plot progressed, Qiu Shuyi found that not only was he acting, but also Lu Linlan and Tao Nian were acting. Qiu Shuyi was relieved, Lu Linlan didn't want to belittle herself. Then I thought about it, it turned out that Lu Linlan was fascinated by the fact that she had been a drama in the past, and it was actually true. Otherwise, Lu Linlan would not have acted in person.

Drama is a cheap business. And the servant is the one who sells his body, but he who does not sell his body is not.

Although Qiu Shuyi had a hard time in the past, except for being a play, she really didn't have any other cheap jobs.

Therefore, Qiu Shuyi's background, in front of Lu Linlan, cannot be regarded as bad.

Moreover, by buying rabbits, Qiu Shuyi felt that she could occasionally help Lu Linlan. Since you can help each other, you won't be so embarrassed to accept each other's help.

Yes, during this time, Qiu Shuyi's mood change was the biggest among the four of them. Moreover, the change in her mood was mainly because of Lu Linlan, not because of Zhong Qingyuan.

――

That's it, stayed for three days.

It could have been done at nothing. But Dongfang couldn't stay idle by skill, so he had to ask Lu Linlan to arrange something. So, Lu Linlan asked Dongfang Yiqiao what kind of food there was in his hometown, and took out the silver for Dongfang Yiqiao to get. Then, Dongfang coincidentally turned on like a clockwork alarm clock.

On the fourth day, the four of them gathered in the courtyard to discuss the matter.

Or Lu Linlan said first:

"What I want to talk about today is the work that Zhong Qingyuan gave us and how we do it.

"There is no doubt that the work handed over by Zhong Qingyuan this time is not an ordinary simple job. I believe that in the future, when we do this work, we will encounter unpredictable emergencies at any time. At that point, we need to be adaptable.

"Don't look at me like that. Yes, when the four of us get together, I'll just have to make up my mind, and you don't have to think about anything. However, doing the work of Zhong Qingyuan, will the four of us be together?

That's the first question I'm going to make. It's the four of us, whether we want to be separated. If you want to separate, do you divide it into two, three, or four?

"Next, let Dongfang Yiqiao explain what he means. ”

――

Dongfang Yiqiao was stunned for a moment: "I? I think we should be separated." You think, the old man asked at least one of us to work in his son's shop. If we don't separate, it means that all four of us will go to his son's shop to do things.

And his son's shop, according to the old man's meaning, should not be very good.

"It's a bit strange that four people suddenly came to a store that wasn't doing very well, and hired all four of them. I think the old man's son will be suspicious of us. ”

――

"That's right," Lu Linlan turned to the other two and asked, "What about you?"

"I don't care, whatever. Tao Nian said.

Qiu Shuyi said: "I feel that Dongfang is very reasonable. In that kind of store that is not well run, it is normal for one person to apply for a job. If you want to go to one more person, it will take more than ten days, saying that a fellow is here or something. But if all four of them go, and the villagers come one after another, it will be inappropriate. ”

――

"What I mean is also to act separately," Lu Linlan said, "so that out of the four of us, three are in favor and one abstains, and finally decides to separate."

"And then there's the question of splitting it into several parts. Unlike last time, I'll start with my opinion.

"Let's start with four starts. Divided into four, that is, each of us acts alone. To be honest, the ability to fight alone, among the four of us, there are at least two of them, and the combat strength is only five. And those two people are Dongfang and Sister Tao. ”

"What, my combat power is only five?" Tao Nian was very surprised.

"Of course," said Lu Linlan, "you need to be extremely strong in fighting, but do you know who to fight and who to protect? When to fight, when to bluff, and so on."

"Maybe you are not like this, but it is precisely because your cultivation is so high that you are indifferent to anything in this realm, so you are easily calculated by others. What does it matter if you have an extremely strong fighting ability and hit the wrong target, and say that your combat strength is only five?"

In fact, the consequences of hitting the wrong target are often much more serious than the combat effectiveness of only five.

――

"Okay, I'll admit it!" Compared to cheering up and paying attention to everything around him, Tao Nian felt that it was better to admit it. Anyway, to admit this cowardice is to admit it behind closed doors in your own home.

Lu Linlan saw that Tao Nian was honest, so she asked again: "Does the East have any objections?"

"No," Dongfang Yiqiao said, "I have only practiced the third layer of qi, and I can't do it if I don't coax it." What's more, the old man said that his son was already in the middle of the infant!"

――

"That's good," Lu Linlan said, "Since two people can't do it alone, then it can only be divided into two."

"Two cases, and four more.

"The first two are, Dongfang and Sister Tao act with me at the same time, or the two of them act with Xiao Qiu at the same time.

"The last two are, Dongfang and me, Sister Tao and Xiao Qiu, or Sister Tao and me, Dongfang and Xiao Qiu.

"What do you think is better?"

――

The four solutions provided by Lu Linlan actually hide a problem in them. That's the question of who Tao Nian is with.

Tao Nian, to be honest, is naturally with Lu Linlan. But on the surface, Tao Nian can not follow Lu Linlan. Even if the two are thousands of miles apart, everything about Lu Linlan is clearly grasped by Tao Nian. Moreover, when Lu Linlan was in danger, Tao Nian was absolutely capable and arrived at the first time.

So the first person to answer was Tao Nian: "I'm casual, you can be as good as you say." ”

Qiu Shuyi and Dongfang Yiqiao knew something about Tao Nian's ability, but they were not very clear. Therefore, after listening to Tao Nian's answer, both of them glanced at Tao Nian and felt a little strange: Doesn't Sister Tao always have to follow Sister Lu, why did she give up now?

Qiu Shuyi suddenly had a thrill, and the opportunity could not be missed! Immediately said: "If this is the case, Sister Tao will follow me!"

The first two of the four listed by Lu Linlan, three people on one side and one person on the other side, are not very reasonable at first glance. And the latter two decided that if it wasn't for Tao Nian and Qiu Shuyi, it would be Dongfang Yiqiao and Qiu Shuyi. How high Tao Nian's cultivation is, Qiu Shuyi naturally doesn't know, but he is definitely far better than himself. And Dongfang is clever in his cultivation, Qiu Shuyi is clear.

"Sister Tao is casual, Xiao Qiu Mei makes a request, then the two people in your group are basically settled," Lu Linlan looked at Dongfang Yiqiao, "Dongfang, what about you, are you willing to follow Xiao Qiu Mei too, or are you willing to act with me?"

To be honest, since joining this group, Dongfang has dealt with Qiu Shuyi the most. Not to mention anything else, just saying that Qiu Shuyi has not Bigu yet, you can know the reason.

But at this time, Dongfang Yiqiao also felt that the combination of three people on one side and one person on the other was inappropriate, and felt that the overall situation should be taken into account, so he said: "I and Sister Lu." ”

"Sister Lu is Sister Lu, eldest sister is eldest sister, don't call me Sister Lu," Lu Linlan said, "My family name is Lu, and my daughter is alone." ”

"Yes, Sister Lu. Only Dongfang Yiqiao would respond so much.

――

"Then, on this trip to Shifang City, I suggest that both of us treat the other group as if it didn't exist. It's up to you to decide what to do. Sister Tao is also limited to paying attention to particularly dangerous things. If everything is normal, then Sister Tao can carry Xiao Qiumei's letter and meet with our group every three months.

"The last thing I want to say, in fact, is the most important, and that is the principle.

"Principles are the principles by which we speak and do things. A principled person is a person who is in line with the way of heaven. A person who has no principles is a person who is spurned by heaven and earth.

"Of course, there are many principles in this world. Some of them even contradict each other. We don't need to follow all the principles. But this operation, or this work, I hope, is guided by the principle of loyalty.

"The object of our loyalty is always Zhong Qingyuan. However, because Zhongqingyuan Gong Yongyan and Gong Xuelin are father and son, their basic interests are the same, so when we do things in Gong Xuelin's shop, we must also be loyal to Gong Xuelin. And once there is a conflict between Gong Xuelin and Gong Yongyan, we must resolutely stand on Gong Yongyan's side.

To put it simply, loyalty to Gong Yongyan is great loyalty, and loyalty to Gong Xuelin is small loyalty. When there is no conflict, big and small loyalties can exist at the same time, and when there is conflict, we should focus on big loyalties.

In addition, Gong Yongyan also said that day, we are likely to do things somewhere else. Elsewhere, let's say it's something else. If you work in another store, you have to be loyal to that store. However, that kind of loyalty is also a small loyalty.

"Here I would like to emphasize the Shifang Palace. Shifang Palace is a behemoth that is enough to rival Zhongqingyuan. We can go to other shops to do things, but we definitely can't join Shifang Palace. Because once we join the Ten Directions, we may be forced to take an oath of allegiance to the Ten Directions.

"Just because the Shifang Palace is enough to compete with Zhongqingyuan and be loyal to the Shifang Palace, it can't be a small loyalty. When there is no conflict between Qingyuan and Shifang Palace, maybe the two great loyalties can also exist at the same time. But if there is a conflict, the two great loyalties can only exist in one. Such a choice will strongly torture our humanity and even destroy our heart.

"Of course, in Shifang City, there are mostly shops in Shifang Palace. And even if it wasn't opened by the Shifang Palace, it had something to do with the Shifang Palace. We can be loyal to the shop and become a subordinate of the Shifang Palace's subordinate shops, but we can't officially and openly join the Shifang Palace, and we can't be a direct subordinate of the Shifang Palace.

"I don't know what I'm saying, do you understand?"

――

Qiu Shuyi asked: "Eldest sister, don't be surprised, I feel that Shifang Palace and Zhongqingyuan are the same or similar." In that case, why can we only be loyal to Zhongqing Yuan, but not to Shifang Palace?"

"Because we accepted Zhong Qingyuan's employment, because we accepted Zhong Qingyuan's honorarium. Lu Linlan replied, "One day, whether it is initiated by Zhong Qingyuan or by us, as long as we are dismissed and the honoraria is paid, then we will be loyal to another behemoth, and that will be okay." ”
