Chapter 1 Unemployment

Next Chapter

Li Jin hugged a storage box, walked out of the office building that had been in less than three months, sighed helplessly, looked at the endless stream of luxury cars on the road, couldn't help but turn around and look at the office building behind him, and scolded: "Grass, you let me let a graduate student of mechanical manufacturing work as a clerk for you, are you sick or am I sick?" After speaking, Li Jin ignored the surprised gazes of the people around him, and left with his sleeves dashing. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Li Jin is an employee in this office building, no, it should be said that he used to be an employee here, and he was just fired by his boss today.

Li Jin walked down the street carrying a storage box containing his personal belongings, thinking back to his experience in the past few years after graduation, which was not just a tragic word! Nine jobs in eight years, and the moment he walked out of the office building today, he himself didn't know if it was the boss who fired his squid or if he fired the boss's squid.

"Hey, forget it, Seon lost his horse, how do you know if it's a blessing! At least from today onwards, I will be free again, and I will no longer have to wake up at six o'clock every day and go to bed at twelve o'clock at night. "Li Jin has this benefit, no matter how bad things happen to him, he can think of the good side.

But it seems that God doesn't want to let him go like this, they all say that blessings are unparalleled, and disasters are not one-way, and it is really unlucky for people to drink cold water and stuff their teeth. Li Jin seemed to forget that he was waiting for the traffic light, because he figured it out and strode onto the road as soon as he was happy.

The moment he was hit by the truck, Li Jin himself felt that he had lost control over his body in an instant, but his consciousness was still awake, and he saw that he was floating without any support in a space surrounded by black holes and his fingers could not be seen.

After a while, a dazzling light shone into this black space, and Li Jin found that he seemed to be able to see the things around him again in a blur.

Li Jin slowly sat up and looked at the surrounding environment, and suddenly his head was big, "Huh! Isn't this a meditation room, how did I get to the temple? Could this be the legendary Western Elysium? Looking at the monks coming and going in the corridor outside the window, he couldn't help but wonder when he was hit by a car before he fell unconscious.

"Amitabha, little donor, are you awake?" Just when Li Jin was stunned, an old monk wearing a red robe appeared behind him. "The donor is young, why can't he think about it, why do he kill himself?"

"Suicide? It seems that I really came to Elysium. Li Jin felt endless sorrow for his life when he thought of this, recalling that he hadn't even talked about a girlfriend when he was alive, and died like this, thinking about it, he couldn't help but shed tears.

At this time, Li Jin had already regarded the old monk with a special identity in front of him as a fairy, and immediately hugged someone's thigh with snot and tears, and cried: "Old fairy, in fact, I didn't kill myself, but I encountered a tragedy and was hit by a car and died, but I don't want to die, I haven't married a daughter-in-law yet, I haven't even held the girl's hand, and I hope the old fairy will allow me to be reincarnated and continue to be a person." ”

"Reincarnation? Behave? "The old monk's head grew big when he heard it, where is this?" The little donor laughed, I am not an immortal, but the host of this Fanghua Temple. It was the little monk in the temple who came back from fetching water yesterday evening and found you fainting on the mountain road, so he rescued you. ”

"Huh? Does that mean I'm not dead? Li Jin learned that he was not dead, so he got up and jumped happily in the meditation room, but suddenly realized that something was wrong, "Hey? That's not right, I was in a car accident in the city, how could I run to the mountains and faint? It's weird, I've never seen a truck do such a strange thing in more than 20 years of life. ”

"Hehe, the little donor laughed again, the age of the little donor is fifteen or sixteen years old at most, how can he have more than 20 years of experience." The old monk looked at Li Jin with a kind expression and said.

"Fifteen or sixteen?" After the old monk said this, Li Jin couldn't help but look down at himself, and found that his body shape was really different from before, much smaller. Li Jin looked up and looked around, and saw that there was a basin of clear water in the corner of the opposite wall, and immediately ran over to take a photo.

Li Jin couldn't help rubbing his chin with one hand and pondering, thinking back to the strange encounters he woke up, combined with his current physical characteristics, and finally came to a conclusion that he had crossed over, yes, definitely crossed. Thinking like this, Li Jin couldn't help but jump up happily, "Yay! I crossed, I actually crossed. While shouting, he ran to the old monk and asked, "Then what dynasty is it now?" ”

Through? The old monk looked at Li Jin, who was jumping and jumping in front of him, and thought to himself that this child would not have any sequelae. Ay! What a miserable child. Thinking of this, the old monk looked at Li Jin and couldn't help but smile bitterly: "Now the era of the reign of the Dayan Dynasty is the thirteenth year of Hongwu. ”

"Ohiko? Hongwu? The second monk Li Jinzhang was puzzled, and suddenly one head and two big.

Mutter! Mutter!

At this moment, Li Jin's stomach screamed out of place. Li Jin thought to himself: It doesn't matter what time he has, fill his stomach first.

"Master, I'm so hungry・・・・・・"

In fact, he didn't have to say it himself, the old monk also heard it.

"Amitabha! I have ordered the kitchen to prepare a meal, so please come with me, little benefactor. With that, the old monk took Li Jin to the place where the monks were eating, and two bowls of white rice had already been placed on the table.

Li Jin, who was already hungry with his chest against his back, didn't care if there was soup or not, so he picked up the rice and devoured it.

The old monk sat on the stool next to him and looked at Li Jin with a smile all the time.

Li Jinfeng ate all the two bowls of rice on the table, and then touched his belly with satisfaction. God, your mother's, it turns out that the rice is much better than those shark fin bears and Manchu Han banquets.

Thinking of eating, Li Jin suddenly became clever, yes, I'm a newcomer, and I'm not familiar with life, so it's a problem to survive in the future. Thinking of this, Li Jin suddenly had an idea.

He slid off the bench, knelt on the ground and kowtowed, kowtowing and saying, "Master, please take me as an apprentice." ”

"Amitabha."

The old monk shouted a Buddha name, "The Lord has nothing to do with Buddhism, and Lao Na can't accept you as a disciple." ”

Li Jin scratched his head, "Nothing to do with Buddhism?" That's right, I became a monk at a young age before I married my daughter-in-law, wouldn't that be another loss for a lifetime. Thinking of this, Li Jin borrowed the donkey from the slope and immediately stood up from the ground, and praised himself for his wisdom in his heart, the apprenticeship just now was just an impulse, he really wanted to be a little monk, and he ate fasting and knocking on the wooden fish all day long and chanted Amitabha, wine and meat can't be eaten, and beauties can't touch it, that's what he regrets.

If a man does this, it is better to go to Thailand to be a ladyboy.

But if you are not a monk, how can this unfamiliar person live, Li Jin touched his chin and thought about it, and suddenly said with a flash of inspiration: "Master, it's okay if you don't accept me as an apprentice, or you can give me some money." ”

Look, what is called thick-skinned, this is called thick-skinned, not only eating other people's residents, but also taking other people's money before leaving, and that person is still a monk.

The old monk was also frightened by Li Jin's cheekiness and said: "Amitabha, the old man is devoted to the Buddha and never carries money with him. ”

After listening, Li Jin pursed his lips, "Then it's okay to prepare some food for me on the road, the master must not bear to see me starve to death on the road, right." ”

The old monk was finally kind-hearted, and he couldn't bear to see Li Jin fall to the end, so he thought for a while and said: "I will immediately ask the kitchen to steam a pot of steamed buns for you, and attach a letter to you, recommending you to go to an old man's house to ask for a living, do you think it's okay?" ”

Of course this is okay, for Li Jin, who has black eyes, it would be good to have a place to settle down, so dare to be picky, naturally the chicken nodded like a peck of rice.

Li Jin carried a bag of cheeky steamed buns in exchange for a bag of steamed buns, and walked slowly down the mountain with the old monk's letter in his arms, muttering as he walked: "The old bald donkey who picks the door is full of steamed buns, and he doesn't even have any pickles." ”

Li Jin walked down the mountain for a day, and finally came to a town, looking at the people coming and going on the road, he couldn't help but be happy, and finally saw a living person.

Li Jin walked on the street, his eyes stared at the food stalls on the side of the road, and he didn't notice that his gluttonous saliva was flowing out, Li Jin couldn't raise the slightest interest in the steamed buns in his back bag, but he was shy, otherwise he would have rushed up to eat a binge.

Fortunately, when Li Jin was worried about where he should go, he remembered the letter of recommendation given by the old monk in his arms, and now this letter is Li Jin's life-saving straw.

Li Jin took out the letter in his arms and looked at it, and the envelope said to Liu Jinyuan.

Although the ancient characters are different from the modern characters, Li Jin can barely understand them, and the old monk told Li Jin that this Liu Jinyuan is an official in the capital, it seems to be a criminal department book, and this Liu Jinyuan's hometown is in this town, so it is very easy to find.

Li Jin inquired all the way, and soon came to Shangshu Mansion.

When he came to Shangshu Mansion and looked at the building full of ancient literature that he had only seen on TV, Li Jin couldn't help but sigh again, thinking that he was worthy of this life, and his life had gone through two eras, ancient and modern, and even the president of the United States did not have this honor in the world today.

In fact, Li Jin has this benefit, no matter what predicament he is in, he can always find a good side to comfort himself.

It is said that officialdom is frustrated, and love is proud. Who knows where this coquettish Li Jin came from so much bullshit emotion, just when he was intoxicated with his own obscenity, he suddenly became a poet and chanted an ancient poem, "Concentrate on painting and carving beams, just like scattering ancient fragrance in the next world." Time seems to have been reversed, and Confucius and Mencius have entered the house. Coincidentally, at this time, a beautiful girl in a white dress came out of the mansion, and when she heard the poem he chanted, she couldn't help but look at him twice, these two eyes were amazing, so that Li Jin could see the whole picture of the girl in white, with faint willow eyebrows, black and beautiful eyes, and that small and delicate thin red lips, coupled with slightly sickly white skin, instantly conquered Li Jin's heart, and a thought immediately appeared in Li Jin's heart, "This Liufu is really not in vain, this girl in front of me must be the daughter of Liufu, haha, If I could chase her down, wouldn't I have all the fame and fortune? Thinking of this, Li Jin couldn't help but show his cheap lewd smile. However, the girl in white just glanced at him and quickly got into the carriage on the side of the road and left, and the urging sound of the Liufu gatekeeper next to him also pulled him back to reality.

Thinking of this, Li Jin's heart was half cold, and he couldn't help but sigh in his heart that no matter where he went, being rich and powerful was just as important. Li Jin shook his head helplessly, and had to explain his intention to the doorkeeper in a good voice, no way, who told us to expect this doorman to report.

This doorman was also sincere, and he didn't feel much trouble for Li Jin, so he happily agreed, let Li Jin wait outside the door now, and turned around and went in to report.

After a while, the doorman came back and let him in.

As soon as Li Jin entered the gate of Liufu, he saw a lewd middle-aged man with a two-handed mustache and a big black mole on the right side of his face, standing there, as if he had been waiting for a long time, and when he saw Li Jin unhurried, he looked impatient and said, "You are Li Jin, right?" Follow me. ”

Li Jin was unhappy when he saw the arrogant appearance of the housekeeper, and followed the others all the way.

Li Jin lowered his head and followed the housekeeper to turn left and right, and after a while, he came to the living room.

"When I arrived, Madame was inside." As he spoke, the housekeeper pushed open the door of the hall, and a woman dressed in a cyan gauze skirt with a beautiful face and revealing the obvious atmosphere of Jiangnan Water Town sat in the front of the lobby.

Li Jin thought to himself, this should be the so-called Mrs. Liu, but this Mrs. Liu is really beautiful, worthy of being able to give birth to such a beautiful lady! Li Jin thought about it as he entered the door and made a gesture, "Hello madam!" ”

When he raised his head after doing it, he immediately became calm, because there was a maid standing next to Mrs., and this maid was also born beautiful, although it was not the enchanting and charming of Mrs., but it was better to be young, and she looked like a daffodil to be released.

Obediently, all the top women in this Liufu are beautiful, and even a maid is so beautiful.

At this time, Mrs. Liu also seemed to see Li Jin's eyes, and took the lead in speaking, "What's your name?"

Li Jin also knew that he was foreign-looking, but fortunately, he was thick-skinned, so he immediately adjusted his feelings and said, "My name is Li Jin." ”

Mrs. Liu looked at Li Jin with a smile and said, "Since Master Zhikong introduced you, you should give you an errand, so it just so happens that the young master is studying hard recently, and there is a lack of a scholar around him, I don't know what Li Gongzi wants?" ”

Li Jin is not a person who does not know how to lift, people treat themselves like this completely for the sake of the old monk's face, thinking of this, how dare Li Jin pick and choose, so he nodded and said: "Madame's love, it should be all arranged by Madame." ”

Mrs. Liu seemed to be very satisfied with Li Jin's performance, nodded with a smile, and then said to the housekeeper who had been waiting by her side: "In this case, Steward Li, you can take Gongzi Li down to rest first." ”

Steward Li nodded yes.

Mrs. Li Jin Xie Beiliu, followed the housekeeper to a small remote courtyard in the mansion, in which a hunchbacked old man was banging around the chair, Steward Li saw this person, respectfully saluted, the old man saw the housekeeper and put down the tools in his hand, and said in a slightly hoarse voice: "Steward Li, come to me for what you have to say!" ”

"Master Chen, didn't you complain to me a few days ago that you were old, afraid of quietness, and wanted to find a companion, no, I found you a companion." Steward Li pointed to Li Jin beside him and said.

Old Chen Tou glanced at Li Jin, laughed and said, "Okay, this kid is good, he looks like a living master, just let him stay, haha!" ”

"Okay, then let him follow you, teach him more rules when you are free, don't cause any trouble."

"Okay, got it, don't worry." Old Chen Tou waved his hand impatiently, turned around and picked up the tools and continued to go about the work in his hands.

After Li Jin saw Steward Li leave, he took the initiative to talk to the old man. Just kidding, Li Jin is not a person without eyesight, judging from the housekeeper's attitude towards this old man, it is obvious that the housekeeper is in awe of this old man, which shows that this old man is doing well in this Liu Mansion.

"Old man, it seems that you are doing well here, even Steward Li is in awe of you."

The old man took out the wine gourd on his waist unhurriedly, took a beautiful sip and said, "Yes, he is really a living master with strong eyesight." I'm not blowing to you, don't talk about the housekeeper, even the master of this Liufu has to give me some thin noodles when he sees me. ”

Li Jinzi didn't believe this, thinking that although this old man had some skills, he loved to brag, but he was not too difficult to get along with.

"That is, old man, you are highly respected." Although Li Jin thought in his heart, he would not say it.

The old man took a sip of wine, waved his hand and said impatiently: "Oh, don't call me an old man, it's awkward to hear, just call me an old man, it's okay to be a bad old man." ”

"Forget it, I've been busy all morning, you can help me go to the house to rest for a while." The old man unceremoniously took Li Jin's arm and stood up straight and walked towards the hut on the north side of the small courtyard, "You go and clean up the wing room in the south, there are all the guys in it, and you can live there in the future." After cleaning up, I will go to the kitchen and say, send food for two people here tonight, let's have a few drinks in the evening, hehe. After saying that, the old man did not forget the thief's laughter. Without waiting for Li Jin to answer, he walked straight to the bedroom.

Li Jin felt that this old man was also interesting, and it seemed that the future days would not be too boring.

After cleaning up the sleeping place, Li Jin walked all the way to the kitchen of Liufu, but people who are used to modern life enter the ancient house as if Grandma Liu entered the Grand View Garden, and everything is fresh. Li Jin, who was not familiar with the road of Liufu, was even more like a headless fly, bumping around.

Li Jin looked up at the sun that was about to set, touched his hungry rumbling stomach and said, "It seems that I am going to be hungry tonight, and I haven't found the kitchen yet." ”

Li Jin touched his chin and thought as he walked, "Hey, it's really a dragon swimming in the shallows being played by shrimps, and a tiger falling in Pingyang being bullied by dogs, people travel back to ancient times to be either emperors or princesses, at least they are still a figure in the palace, but why do you want to be a subordinate to others when you come to me." Hey, forget it, the most important thing at the moment is to be able to live, the current person is the current person, anyway, before he crossed over, he was almost like a subordinate. ”

Ah!

"Who is this, I didn't see a big living person here!" Li Jin walked along a corridor to the end and was about to turn a corner, but he felt like he had hit a ball of cotton, and then there was a burst of angry scolding.

"Are you deaf or whatever, say you didn't hear." It was another burst of angry scolding that attracted Li Jin's attention, and he saw a little girl lying on the ground.

"Huh? The one who hit it just now... "Thinking of this, Li Jin touched his chest and said.

"Hey, why don't you help Grandma Ben up. You're looking for death. ”

Li Jin bumped into someone else's girl, he was very embarrassed, and besides, he should apologize for it, and this little girl is also very handsome. Li Jin said happily: "Yo! I'm so sorry, I'm new here, I was supposed to go to the kitchen, but I didn't expect to get lost here. ”

As he spoke, Li Jin helped the maid up, the two glanced at each other, and said at the same time: "It's you!" ”

Coincidentally, this little maid is the water spirit maid next to Li Jin when he saw Mrs. Liu this afternoon.

"Humph! Pay attention next time, you won't be so easy to talk when you bump into someone. The little maid paused, then said in a soothing tone, "What are you doing in the kitchen now?" The kitchen is all down, and there is no one to go there. ”

"Huh?" Li Jin opened his mouth wide, thinking that if the kitchen was off work, wouldn't it mean that he had nothing to eat! I haven't eaten today, and my stomach is growling with hunger.

This little maid is also understanding, and when she heard Li Jin's stomach growling, she knew that he hadn't eaten yet, so she covered her mouth and snickered: "You haven't eaten yet, have you?" It just so happens that I have a box of snacks just given to me by my wife, so you can take them and eat them. ”

"What's so embarrassing!" He was polite to others, but he was not idle in his hands, so he immediately took the snack and joked, how could our Li Daguan treat himself badly because of face.

The little maid covered her mouth and smiled, and said, "Now that there is something to eat, you can go back to your own residence quickly, don't wander around, I'll go first." ”

Li Jin watched the little maid leave his sight, wiped the saliva from the corner of his mouth, and was about to turn around and walk back. Suddenly remembered that he didn't even know people's names now, so he shouted to the maid's side: "Girl, I don't know your name yet!" ”

The little maid didn't care, she looked back and smiled, "My name is Narcissus, you can call me Xian'er." After saying that, he left without looking back.

"Narcissus, fairy!" Li Jin said in his mouth, "Sure enough, the person is as good as his name." ”

Since the kitchen is empty, it's useless to go, but fortunately, there is still a box of snacks, so after thinking about it, Li Jin walked to the residence. He muttered as he walked. "This Liufu is so big, I have to walk for so long to go back to my residence, a Shangshu can live in such a big garden, it must be from corruption, hum, another corrupt official."

If Liu Shangshu heard this, he didn't know if he would be angry, if it was corruption or not, what did it matter to you, if you couldn't find a kitchen, you would casually blame others.

Fortunately, his memory was not bad, and he returned to the small courtyard where he lived the same way he came.
