Chapter 39: Joints
A few days have passed, Li Lamb, who entered the mansion of the Duke of Yi to work as a carpenter, gradually became familiar with various rules after several "trainings", in short, the distance between him and Yuwenwen is still very far. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
The management of the Duke of Yi Guo Mansion is very strict, so strict that Li Lamb is a little confused, he feels that if he does not have Nei Ying's help, I am afraid that he will have to stay up for a few years or even more than ten years before he can have the opportunity to meet Yu Wenwen.
The first is "workmanship", he and his partner Wang Shuo were employed for a year and were considered long-term workers, although they were carpenters, but the big carpentry could not be their turn, and this kind of living house had its own carpenters with exquisite craftsmanship in charge.
Li Lamb and the other carpenters who were recruited were responsible for the small woodwork, in fact, it was to tinker and make some small furniture, and it was impossible for the inner courtyard to enter, and there was not much chance for the outer courtyard to enter.
These two places are Yuwenwen's daily activity areas, and if you can't get in, don't think about taking revenge by working.
The second is accommodation, and the Duke of Yi has a strict division of the places where servants and miscellaneous servants live, and the dormitory management of different categories of people is very strict, and there is almost no chance to fish in troubled waters.
Short-term workers and long-term workers are counted as one category, servants who have signed a living contract, servants who have signed a death contract are each one category, and others such as miscellaneous servants, account offices, and guards are counted as one category each, and each type of person has its own place of residence, and it is not allowed to wander around.
It is basically impossible for long-term workers like them to have the opportunity to have long-term contact with the servants in the house, and it is inconvenient for them to say "whispers" when they are busy, and they cannot walk around each other to "visit the door" when they are finished and resting, which is no different from going to prison from a certain point of view.
Then there is eating, the mansion is full of food and accommodation, there are three meals a day but it is not allowed to cook in the dormitory without authorization, the food is prepared by the kitchen, and everyone gathers in the room to eat.
It was said that this was a good opportunity to get in touch with Neiying, but Li Lamb later found that this was delusional, because the dining place for long-term and short-term workers was separate from others, and there was no room for joints.
Working every day, most of them are working in the designated carpentry room, and there is no opportunity to contact other people, so after a period of time, Li Lamb's daily life is very consistent.
He wanted to communicate privately with his companion Wang Shuo, but the dormitory was a large room, and the five of them all slept on a large bunk, so there was no way to whisper with confidence, if the two of them hid in the corner outside, it would be very noticeable.
So the two can only maintain a "normal relationship", using bits and pieces of alone time to exchange their thoughts, in fact, there are not many ideas, their thoughts can be summed up in one word, that is, "wait".
Waiting for that Nei Ying to come to them, this is also the strategy set by Lisa Weng in advance, if he can't bear to act without authorization, he will definitely fall short, so he can only wait for the rabbit.
On the morning of the tenth day after entering the palace, a servant brought three damaged vouchers, and the other three carpenters had already gone to work elsewhere, just leaving Li Lamb and Wang Shuo to be free.
The two of them went to the carpentry room beside them, and began to tinker as the servant had requested, and there was another servant who had come with them, and the steward who was in charge of the long-term work, and there was no chance of whispering as always.
It is not very bad, so even if Li Lamb and Wang Shuo are carpenters with half a bucket of water, it is still no problem to repair it, but this is very common with a few materials, and it is not used by nobles.
In fact, Li Lamb and others served the servants, stewards, miscellaneous servants, guards and other idle people in the mansion of the Duke of Yi, and as for the Duke of Yi and his family members in the backyard, it was not the turn of "outsiders" like them to serve.
The two servants looked at the two servants and frowned, they wanted to say something but still didn't say anything, the craftsmanship of the two new carpenters was a little so-so, but it was still passable, so they didn't bother much and left with the number.
Li Lamb breathed a sigh of relief, with a few cultivations like this, he had already taken out the strength to eat, if he encountered some complicated small wooden works, it would really be exposed, and he would be dismissed before he had passed the probationary period.
But if he continues like this, he can't kill Yu Wenwen yet, and he will really become a carpenter.
Wang Shuo and Li Lamb began to pack up their tools, there was something strange about the carpentry room here, all the tools had to be hung on a large wooden board, and they could not be placed casually, because the outlines of various tools were drawn on the board, and the tools had to be put away according to the outlines.
It's a bit of a hassle, but it's fair to say that the tools don't get lost in this way, and the room looks neat and tidy, and it also effectively prevents the three hands from carrying the tools away.
The two were about to leave, and the steward, who had been watching quietly from the side, suddenly whispered: "There is a lang in the East Village, whose name is Ah Li." ”
Li Lamb's heart was shocked when he heard this, and he couldn't help but look at the other party, but seeing the young steward's calm face, he glanced at Wang Shuo again, and saw that his companion nodded silently, and then said in a low voice:
"There is a mother named Ah Yu in the west of the village."
"Good, see you tomorrow."
After the young steward finished speaking, he was silent, Li Lambqiang pressed the excitement in his heart, and left silently with Wang Shuo, and they successfully connected with the inner response, that is, the young steward in front of him, with the secret words of Professor Lisa Weng.
The two of them had been in contact with the steward every day, and they had never expected the other party to be so calm.
At noon the next day, when a group of long-term workers came to the room to prepare for dinner, the young steward came over and asked Li Lamb to go back to do carpentry, and the others saw that Li Lamb was so "unlucky", and shook their heads helplessly.
There was a short distance from where the long-term workers lived, and it was this short distance that provided the two of them with precious time to talk, and they looked intently ahead, as if they were talking to themselves.
"It's a big deal, a few days ago, I was afraid that there would be a mistake, so I paid attention for a while before I dared to talk to you in code, is there anything I don't feel comfortable with?"
Hearing this, Li Lamb whispered: "No, he and I are very good, I don't know what to call my brother?" ”
"It's just called Steward Jiang..."
"Understood."
He knew that this person was called "Steward Jiang", but according to Lisa Weng, this person was actually his half-brother, and his biological mother was kicked out of the Li family since he was a child, so he took his mother's surname.
Of course, Lisa Weng did not say the identity of this person in the Mansion of the State of Yi, but since the other party had already said the secret words yesterday, it should be sure that it was undoubtedly Neiying, not to mention that this Jiang steward also had a characteristic, which made Li Lamb convinced.
Those eyes are exactly the same as the eyes of Li Lamb's father, Li Shrimp Toad, and only when they are connected by blood can there be such a coincidence.
Seeing that he was about to walk to the carpentry room, Li Lamb hurriedly asked the key question: "Steward Jiang, what should I do next?" Do you want to keep waiting? ”
"In a few days, maybe there will be a chance."
The other party's faint words made Li Lamb's heart almost jump out of his chest, he thought that he would have to wait at least a few months before he could have such a chance, but he didn't expect his half-brother to bring a good news.
Steward Jiang looked ahead, still taking care of himself and whispered: "I'm ready to die with this fang, what about you?" ”
"I'm ready too!" (To be continued.) )
