Chapter 42: The New Arrival

Isn't the bamboo insects in my bamboo forest enough for her to earn money? Li Yan frowned, "Go and find out which cloth village she's in!" ”

"Back to the master, it's in the golden cicada cloth village in the town." The attendant was as cold as the master.

"Golden Cicada Cloth Village." After sending off the attendants, Li Yan repeated again, and he had already made another plan in his heart.

"What is a man talking about?" Wen Yu came out from behind and joked with a light smile.

"Nothing, why are you here?" Li Yan came back to his senses and asked him.

Wen Yu looked at him meaningfully and smiled, "Of course, I came to visit this mysterious hermit." But I see that the hermit is very concerned today, and I don't know which girl took his heart. ”

Li Yan couldn't help but smile when he teased him, "If you want to come to me in the future, come over at night, and I have something to do during the day." ”

"Something? What do you have to do in person? Wen Yu looked at him curiously.

"The girl who came to the bamboo forest some time ago, I always saw the figure of Empress Shen in him." Li Yan looked at the bamboo in front of him and slowly spoke.

"To be honest, I feel this way too, but no matter how old these two are, their appearance is too different." Wen Yu thought. Then he dismissed the idea, paused, and looked at him with some surprise, "You're not going to go to her?" ”

"Hmm." Li Yan nodded.

"How did you get close to her? It won't be for her to return you bamboo worms, right? Wen Yu looked at him with a smile.

Li Yan glanced at him, "I naturally have my own methods. However, you didn't just want to make a joke on me this time, did you? ”

"It's really something." Speaking of this, Wen Yu also became serious, and said as he walked, "The Western Xia side has been about to move recently, and I'm afraid there will be a battle." ”

Western Xia was a neighbor of the dynasty, and since the founding of the dynasty, it has been a vassal state of the dynasty, and in recent years, it has gradually become larger, and it began to want to pay a huge tribute.

Li Yan listened to it in his heart and did not make a statement.

"Why, you won't really be moved by this kind of seclusion and take refuge in Buddhism from now on, right?" Wen Yu looked at him puzzled, a little worried.

"It's not the time yet." Li Yan pondered, "We can only wait for the situation on the Western Xia side. ”

"Even so, you're going to start preparing." Wen Yu said solemnly, "It's not early, I'm not going back, Li Ting is going to be suspicious." ”

After a few more words, Wen Yan stepped on the bamboo like a light swallow and left, Li Yan thought about it for a long time, and had his own plan in his heart.

The next day, Buzhuang.

"Chaolu, didn't you tell me to find a few helpers a few days ago, a young man came over today, do you want to go and see?" As soon as Chaolu came, the shopkeeper Wu found her.

"Can you decide this kind of thing?" Chaolu looked at him with a smile.

"That's fine." Shopkeeper Wu hurriedly left after speaking.

"I said man, I'm strict here, are you sure you can handle this?" Shopkeeper Wu looked at him.

"My name is Gu Yan, not a buddy." Li Yan said his pseudonym, and today he wore a shabby dress, which he had just exchanged with the beggar in the broken temple.

"I'm busy here, but the salary is not bad, how about giving you 30 copper plates for food and lodging a month?" The shopkeeper looks like a businessman's calculations.

"Food, shelter?" Gu Yan thought for a moment and hesitated, here, wouldn't it be inconvenient for Wen Yu to come to find him?

"If you don't agree, I'll go find someone else." The shopkeeper pretended to be impatient.

"Okay." He agreed coldly, and the shopkeeper looked happy, this guy doesn't look ugly, he's stupid, 30 copper plates also agreed, there must be something wrong with his brain.

"In that case, let's go and sign the contract, otherwise if you run away halfway, what will I do By the way, how long are you going to do it?" Shopkeeper Wu asked as he walked into the account room.

"Gu Yan?" Watching him sign, the shopkeeper Wu was very surprised, how could a word called Huazi be written so beautifully, and looked at him carefully, he was indeed magnificent, quite an aristocratic atmosphere, and he was not a simple person at first glance.

"How long are you going to be here?" Shopkeeper Wu asked cautiously.

"Half a year." Li Yan replied.

Shopkeeper Wu frowned, why is this person so mysterious? I couldn't figure it out after thinking about it, so I didn't think about it at all, and I agreed with a smile, don't be in vain with the guy I picked up.

"After the registration is finished, after changing your clothes, go to the hall to find Chaolu to work, hurry up, otherwise I will retire you!" The shopkeeper scared him with a serious face.

In the hall, Li Yan saw Chaolu at a glance, and the little man was only shuttling without approval, only half of his body was exposed. She even looks like Empress Shen very much when she speaks and acts now, and she looks a little fascinated by him.

When she saw off a wave of guests, Li Yan passed, and he shouted, "Chaolu." ”

Chao Lu turned around and looked at him stunned, this person was full of pockmarks, and there was a scar on his face, but in a trance, he looked a little like Li Yan, if she didn't look at her face, maybe she would be convinced that it was Li Yan.

"You're the new guy?" Chaolu asked, expecting him to speak, but alas.

"Hmm. The shopkeeper asked me to come and get the work. He replied with a light smile, Chaolu was a little disappointed, his voice was a little hoarse and not at all like Li Yan.

Li Yan paused slightly when he looked at the surprise and expectation in her eyes, and after thinking about it, he shook his head and laughed at his thoughts, she was just frightened by her current appearance, and he also clearly realized that Empress Shen could not be what she is now.

"It's nothing to do now, I'll take you to familiarize yourself with the environment first." Chaolu opened his mouth lightly, and then told the other guys a few words and took him away.

"There are more things here, and the things to do are more messy, it will be a little difficult these days at first, but after a few days you will get acquainted, if you can't be busy, you can tell me, I will let the guy fire help you." Chaolu took him to the room where he was tidying up his clothes, and said as he introduced him.

"Can I go to work in the lobby?" Li Yan asked, unable to hear the emotion.

"There's enough people in the hall." He replied without raising his head.

Li Yan had no choice but to go to the warehouse, it was too similar, it was really too similar, his words and deeds were exactly the same as Empress Shen, he had to figure out what was going on.

"This girl is pretty, isn't she?" Sister Zhao came over and met him staring at Chaolu in a daze, so she asked gossiping.

Li Yan looked over coldly, "Who are you?" ”

"I'm the future boss lady here!" Sister Zhao looked at him proudly, showing off with a face, and then persuaded him, "Although you don't look good, Chaolu is not a good girl, if you want to ask her to be your daughter-in-law, I am willing to help you." ”

Li Yan squinted, turned around and left without looking back.

"Cut, what kind of person, ugly and so arrogant." Sister Zhao muttered quietly.

"What are you here to do? Is the work done in the embroidery room? Chaolu saw her, frowned and asked coldly.

"I think the new guy seems to be interested in you, and wants to be a favor and match you." Sister Zhao looked at her with a smile and was courteous.

"Sister Zhao is too worried, I will worry about my own affairs, you don't have any handle on me, and you don't have to please me, with this kung fu, it is better to make two clothes."
