Chapter 16 Blending into the Lu Mansion

it! Little Liu?! Why don't I remember that old boy just now, and send me a real person now!

But it's not right, the one who appears now is not an old boy. It looks good in dress, and the nutrition should be able to keep up, so I guess it's only 15 or 6......

Looking at the familiar face among the several teenagers on the street, Yang Jiu quickly regained his composure after the initial surprise. Know that the person is at most equivalent to the existence of a "past life". It's like the kid who fell off a cliff and burped when he crossed over before.

But having said that, this boy who is similar to Xiaoliu can be regarded as the only point of contact between himself and the world, right? It's impossible to be indifferent, and if you have nothing to do, you might as well learn about this "little six". For the sake of this face, maybe I can give this kid some favors.

So, how do you approach it? Do you take the initiative to talk to them like they did with Li Ziyu?

But......

Yang Jiu looked at the group of teenagers and quickly rejected the plan.

I saw that the four young men in fancy clothes led a few small servants and guards to swagger through the city, and pedestrians avoided them even more than they met people in the rivers and lakes! If the latter is awe, then the emotion towards the former is more cringe and disgust. Yang Jiu quickly positioned these teenagers as "gentlemen".

As soon as I thought of this, I couldn't help frowning slightly.

With Xiaoliu's face, it is the words of such a person......

But although "Little Liu" is dressed in gorgeous clothes, his position is behind the most arrogant teenagers, and he bows his head slightly, and it seems that he is just a follower. Therefore, Yang Jiu did not dare to casually locate the character of this "little six".

Smiling and touching his chin, Yang Jiu was in a good mood and thought, maybe he could start a new plot copy......

Yang Jiu, who had made up his mind in his heart, ran downstairs like this, and the group of people had disappeared without a trace. He casually greeted a passerby, inquired about the identity of the group, and learned that those teenagers were actually the sons of the Lu family, the first wealthy gentleman in Wuti Town. And under the guidance of pedestrians, he found the location of the Lu Mansion.

Looking at the plaque hanging on the high door, Yang Jiu thought about how to find an identity to blend in.

According to the pedestrian, this Lu Mansion is just an ordinary landlord and gentry, except for some family guards with rudimentary force, but it has nothing to do with the fighting and killing of the rivers and lakes. It stands to reason that any family with some status and financial resources, those masters will at least have some martial arts, but the people in this Lu Mansion are really not the material for martial arts, at most they are at the level of self-defense 13. The highest military output in the government is some people from the rivers and lakes hired by Gao Jin as guest secretaries.

If you want to get in, the easiest way is to show your hand, such a proper guest! But Yang Jiu still has a branch line to search for Lige now, and he doesn't want to be too high-profile. And the most important thing is that this kind of strategy is very unchallenging and story-based!

Just when Yang Jiu was opening his mind, he unexpectedly heard a good news among the passers-by and neighbors.

The Lu Mansion is going to recruit people!

What a chance! Yang Jiu's eyes were shining.

However, after being excited, Yang Jiu found that the biggest obstacle was himself.

Nima old paper is so handsome and extraordinary, with an outstanding temperament, it can be quickly excavated in the sea of people, and Uncle Ben, who is more than enough to apply for a rich and handsome husband, wants to mix into the three big and five thick family teams, friends, do you think it may be baa? !

Yang Jiu, who was depressed, silently returned to the inn.

Hey, if only there was a disguised plugin......

Sighing like this, I can't help but think of the ancient disguise technique. asked Xiaobai, and he said that the resin, human skin, or something mentioned in those records is simple, but in fact, the effect is definitely not as good as described in the novel. But he doesn't guarantee that this world is not like this, after all, he doesn't know if there are any special materials or methods in this world. After all, the knowledge he recorded was based on that world, and other dimensions were full of too many unknowns for him. For example, this internal force is an apocryphal thing in that world.

Yang Jiu nodded in understanding.

Although there are many differences and unknowns, this world has too many similarities with the ancient times of his own world, so Yang Jiu believes that many things are common.

This time, he thought, maybe the skills he had learned before could come in handy again.

The next day, Yang Jiu first went to the ready-to-wear shop to buy a few sets of coarse linen clothes, then went to buy some fat powder and tools, and finally smoothed some charcoal in the kitchen of the inn. Once you're ready, it's time to tinker with your own.

[Lord Yin, what are you doing here?] Disguise? ]

"Uh-huh~ You have my memory, you should know that there are many people in our industry who know this craft. It's really pitiful for me, but there are also a lot of people who rely on makeup. I'm not proficient in it, but I'm a little bit of a little bit of it, and I guess I'll be able to figure it out after a few more experiments. ”

After a brief explanation, Yang Jiu began to work on his hands.

One of the most critical components is a few pieces of pigskin. Burn off the hair on it, and also control the temperature to make the pig skin smoother, after all, the pores of the pig are still very large. The next thing is to burn out some pimples and bumps, and make the effect of "full of meat" that is common in big men.

Fortunately, all this work is not too difficult with the delicate operation power of the artificial man, not to mention the use of electric power that he has mastered now. Except for the scrapping of two or three pieces of pigskin in the initial trial stage, the production of the latter became more and more handy.

The final job is to melt some unique resin and apply it to the side of the face, which sticks well and lasts for a while even when exposed to air.

The rest of the work is to use those fat powder charcoal blocks to make the uncle's green and black stubble rings and big black thick eyebrows and black and yellow skin. What's even more exaggerated is that Yang Jiu also used those resins to stick some fine lines for himself!

Xiaobai was stunned! Suddenly I feel that the beggar's skills are a bit clever!

After finishing Yang Jiu's evaluation, there are still too few materials that can be used, there are several substitutes that cannot be found, and the quality of the fat powder is too low, otherwise it can be improved by a few grades!

Xiaobai immediately started the dogleg mode and applauded constantly!

After Yang Jiu sewed a strangely shaped cotton-filled vest, and then put on the vest and coarse linen clothes, the beautiful boy who was originally slender and handsome turned into a big man with a tiger's back and a bear's waist and a face full of meat!

As an intelligent navigation system in the new century, although Xiaobai was not surprised, he silently added two points to his master.

Knowing that his little skills were not interesting in Xiao Bai's eyes, Yang Jiu didn't expect to get any sincere surprise and admiration. It's just that the little brother who didn't cheer was really a little worried...... Fortunately, Yang Jiu is very self-congratulatory, looking at Xiaobai's current image, he is very satisfied!

This day passed like this, and Yang Jiu didn't pay too much attention to it when he didn't receive a contact from Mu.

The next day, Yang Jiu explained some information to the shopkeeper, and then returned to his room to quickly make a new dress, took a piece of paper that recorded his basic information, happily killed outside the back door of the Lu Mansion, and mixed into the recruitment team.

Seeing that more than 100 young adults crowded the back alleys, following the instructions of the servants to submit the information one by one and then entering the mansion, Yang Jiu thought to himself, although the wind of this Lu Mansion is not good and it is rich in gentlemen, it seems that most of the salaries are not low, otherwise there would be no such recruitment scale.

With a little excitement, Yang Jiu followed the servant into the backyard and stood in an irregular phalanx, waiting for the next order.

At the first level at the back door before, there were many people who were too old, frail or too sorry for the audience, and there were almost seventy or eighty people standing in the backyard at the moment.

The second level is to examine the strength.

After all, it's just a recruit, and you don't need to be able to fight like a nursing home, but at least you have to have a certain amount of strength and know some work.

This is naturally difficult for Yang Jiu. took a good measure, showed off his strength, and split the firewood so fast! That's called a well-proportioned! Stunned the eyes of many people! Steward Lu expressed his optimism about him for the first time!

Combined with the positions that the Lu government needs to recruit, the scope of this round of screening has been greatly strengthened, and almost ten people have gone, and only twenty people remain. Yang Jiu is naturally in the list.

There is almost no suspense about the selection here. Then he declared his loyalty, drew up a salary, and finally signed a cooperation agreement and the matter was over.

Although the housekeeper wanted to fool Yang Jiu into selling himself as a house slave, Yang Jiu still chose to work for a long time. Although none of these things were actually binding on him, as a domestic slave, his freedom of movement was greatly restricted. He hadn't forgotten that he still had side quests going on outside of the Lu Mansion!

In this way, the "strong man" Yang Jiu, ah no, Xibei, settled in the backyard of the Lu Mansion.

Long-term workers also have food and lodging, but the accommodation conditions and wages are much worse than those of domestic slaves. Yang Jiu's place of work is the firewood house, so his residence is in a small single room near the firewood house. Seeing that more than a dozen other people lived in a large shop, Yang Jiu found that he had picked up shit!

However, it seemed that only Yang Jiu himself thought so, and he got this realization when he saw the undisguised schadenfreude on the face of the servant who led the way.

The next day, Yang Jiu finally knew why others looked at him with that expression!

When he looked at the mountain-like wood, Yang Jiu's face instantly darkened! It's just that the makeup on the face is too heavy for others to see. Seeing him standing there in a daze and not even daring to complain, many people thought that this was a stupid big guy who was easy to bully!

If Yang Jiu knew that his calmness had given others such a misunderstanding, it was estimated that his face would be even darker!

The reason why he is unhappy is naturally not because he can't complete the workload, but because he feels that he has been cheated!

The contract says that the specified amount must be completed every day, otherwise the wages will be deducted if the food is not paid, and the dismissal will be compensated if the contract is breached more than five times! it! Jie Nima is completely Zhou Peel! If you change someone to do this job, it's simply the rhythm of getting up early and being tired of being a dog! I also said that although the door of this Lu Mansion is not good, it is quite generous, and my feelings are waiting for me here!

MD, dare to dig a pit for your extremely smart Yushu Linfeng Jiuye, good, very good......

Yang Jiu, who was blackened with grief and indignation, was a little worried about the situation of "Little Liu" again. This Lu Mansion is even worse than he thought before, it is really dark from top to bottom and inside to outside!

Yang Jiu was indignant and chopped firewood......

When the masters have settled breakfast, it is time for the people to eat. Yang Jiu was naturally summoned over, and taking this opportunity, he was about to start inquiring about the situation within the Lu family.

In view of the fact that he was unable to use the beautiful man's trick now, Yang Jiu quietly observed the circle, aimed at a domestic servant who was a know-it-all at first glance, and took the initiative to come over.

"This eldest brother, I see that you are an old man with a very high status in the Lu Mansion, I am a newcomer, my name is Xibei, and now I am doing the work of the firewood house, I hope that you will take care of it more in the future." As he spoke, he took advantage of the cover of the table and shoved a small piece of silver into the man's hand.

This person's name is Lu Feng, about early thirties, with a bit of a thief's eyebrows. There are slight differences between the clothes on his body and other people's, and Yang Jiu is estimated to be a little steward.

Lu Feng was still spitting and boasting to others, but at this time he received Yang Jiu's "sincerity", his eyes rolled, and he immediately turned around and patted Yang Jiu's hard shoulder affectionately, and said enthusiastically: "Oh, Xibei is it." Everyone will be working in Lu Mansion in the future, so naturally they will help each other...... Hey? I remembered, yesterday I said that the new guy in the firewood room is amazing, and I was talking about you! ”

In the second Olympics, I didn't expect labor and management to become famous. It seems that the speed of information flow between people is more powerful than he imagined.

After a little flow in his heart, Yang Jiu did not forget to nod again and again.

"It's Xibei's blessing to be taken care of by the eldest brother, the little brother, I'm afraid of offending the master when I first arrived, I don't know if the eldest brother can mention a little brother or two......"

Speaking of this, Yang Jiu's voice was suppressed.

Lu Feng was contemptuous in his heart, where did a woodcutter have the opportunity to see his master. Oh no, there is still a "master" to be seen...... Although he despised Yang Jiu's delusional thoughts, he held the piece of broken silver in his hand, and still picked out some irrelevant things on his lips and said it.

The other people eating in the kitchen watched the two talking, and they inevitably chewed their tongues.

"I haven't seen that one, it's new, how can Steward Lu Feng be so close to that person?"

"Hmph, you can't guess that? Looking at the honest handover, the result is ......"

"Didn't you say that man was wearing so much on this hot day?"

"Eh, Sister Li, this newcomer looks very strong, and his appearance is not bad, but I don't know if anyone in the family is ......"

With Yang Jiu's hearing, these words were not said word for word, but most of them still fell into his ears. I didn't expect that I would grow like this, and some people still worry about it, why do I always feel a little creepy after being scared......

However, he paid more attention to what Lu Feng said, and the situation in Lu Mansion gradually became clear.

Master Lu's name is Lu Shenfu, he has a wife, an aunt in the eighth room, and there are many concubines in the room, and each lady has at least one son, as for the character of these young masters, in Yang Jiu's words, they are pampered bear children with distorted personalities.

And those children born to concubines who have little status, although they are also half masters, they are basically not much different from their subordinates. If this is without a mother, it is even more ...... Speaking of this, Lu Feng smiled particularly sinisterly. Yang Jiu didn't know why, and when he asked, he said that you will always know in the future.

Perhaps for the sake of Yang Jiu's filial piety, Lu Feng also kindly said a nonsense, that is, the highest status and the most unprovoked are naturally a son and a daughter of the main wife, so that Yang Jiu can recognize and remember these two ancestors as soon as possible, and don't make a mistake and lose his life.

There are still some news in the other seven, seven, eight, and eight, and Yang Jiu has also written them down one by one.

Overall, this Lu Mansion is indeed a big family. Yang Jiu's biggest feeling is to pay tribute to Master Lu's ability......

After breakfast, the subordinates dispersed and returned to their posts to work for Lu Papi.

Yang Jiu also returned to the firewood room, controlled the progress, and quickly split one-tenth of the firewood.

Seeing that the kitchen not far away was full of people and the firewood room on his side was almost unattended, Yang Jiu decisively decided that he could leave his side business for the main line first.

In order to increase the difficulty and sense of substitution, Yang Jiu greatly reduced the acuity of his five senses.

Carefully avoiding the crowd, he quietly followed the maid who delivered the snacks out of the backyard where the people gathered. I wanted to find a random direction to grope around, but I thought that it would be a headless fly anyway, so I simply continued to follow the maid.

In this way, I followed him to a small building, and saw several maids enter a room.

Yang Jiu hid behind the rockery in the courtyard and sorted out the information he had just obtained.

I learned from Lu Feng that the nine heroines of the Lu Mansion all have their own small courtyards. Except for the main wife and Master Lu, who have their own courtyard, and the two children of the main wife have their own separate courtyard, the other eight aunts all live in the same courtyard with their children.

And when he entered the courtyard just now, he saw that the title of this courtyard was the "Furong Garden" where one of the two little ancestors who was reminded to pay attention to live, the daughter of the main wife, the embroidered courtyard of the third lady Lu Yufu.

Just after breakfast, so many snacks were brought to him, and Yang Jiu maliciously thought that these three young ladies should not be a big fat man!

Touching his chin, Yang Jiu thought of a courtyard that he passed by on the way to this Furong Garden just now, "Tianlu Courtyard", which was the courtyard of Lu Xiuwen, the son of his wife. It is speculated that this area should be the territory of the main house, and the neighborhood is also likely to be the courtyard of the more favored aunt. Judging from what I saw on the street two days ago, "Little Six" should belong to the ranks of those who are not very favored.

So, you should be able to explore the farther away from here first.

After making a decision, Yang Jiu was naturally about to leave here.

But just as Yang Jiu was about to leave, a breeze blew from the direction of the embroidery building, mixed with an extremely faint smell of blood. If it weren't for Yang Jiu's sense of smell, which was much higher than ordinary people's even if his sensitivity was greatly reduced, it was estimated that he would not have been able to detect this extremely faint bloody aura!

Isn't someone hurt?

Yang Jiu had a trace of doubt. But then it suddenly dawned on women, there are always a few days a month when they see blood...... When I thought about it like this, I thought that what I smelled was the blood of a woman's aunt...... With a cross of his face, he escaped from this yard as if flying.

Although he has a direction in his heart, the actual action still depends on his blind groping. So I wasted a lot of time in several directions, and once I almost ran to the hall!

Seeing that a lot of time has been delayed, considering that it is the first time for me to go to work no matter how I say it, it will not be good if I am checked. So even though there was no progress, Yang Jiu decided to go back first.

However, it is not completely without gains, at least part of the map of the land mansion is well built.

Coincidentally, just when Yang Jiu avoided the crowd and returned to the firewood room, he happened to meet the housekeeper who came to check the attendance.

The housekeeper's name is Lu Ding, and he has already met with the newcomer yesterday. Now looking at Yang Jiu, who had waited for a while before appearing, his face was almost black into carbon!

Yang Jiu's current face is not very "flexible", and he can't fully show the spirit of the dog's legs, so he has to lower his head and admit his mistake, explain that he has diarrhea, and repeatedly ensure that the work is completed on time and in quantity, and then send the big Buddha away.

[The main silver, obviously you can hang and blow up the sky, but you have to be a grassroots dog...... Xiaobai is resentful of you for the main silver! ]

"You know what, it's called experiencing life! ...... later" Yang Jiu, who was arguing with Xiaobai, suddenly fell silent.

Just as Xiao Bai was about to ask something, he saw Yang Jiu walking lightly towards a corner where the firewood room was connected to the wall. Xiao Bai shut up playfully and didn't bother Yang Jiu.

Silently approaching, slowly skirting the tall wood.

Suddenly, Yang Jiu's gaze met a pair of pitch-black eyes.
