Chapter 12 Those who know the times are handsome
"Who is she?" Lu Chen stood firm, ignoring the stuffy pain in his chest, glanced at the girl who came over, and whispered to Lin Jinxi beside him.
"Second Miss Lin Family, Lin Qiuxue. Lin Jinxi whispered.
No wonder...... Lu Chen's face was stunned, he rubbed his chest with bared teeth, and then arched his hand to apologize to the girl who came over: "Miscellaneous disciple Lu Chen has no intention of offending the second miss, please punish the second miss." ”
"No offense to me...... Do you still think in your heart that you want to deliberately offend me? A handyman of my family, you don't dare to give you a bear-hearted leopard guts!" Lin Qiuxue snorted coldly, and then no longer paid attention to Lu Chen, but looked at Lin Jinxi on the side, and scolded coldly: "He is new here, are you also new here?"
"It's my fault, please punish the second lady. Lin Jinxi lowered his head and said.
"No! It has nothing to do with her. Lu Chen stood in front of Lin Jinxi and said resolutely: "It's my fault, please punish me for the second miss." ”
Lin Qiuxue saw that Lu Chen and Lin Jinxi were rushing to understand their punishment, and a nameless anger suddenly appeared in her heart, and her face became even colder. Just as she was about to teach the two of them a lesson, Lin Qiuxue suddenly thought of something, and the hand that had been raised was slowly retracted, her beautiful eyes appeared with a sneer, her eyes crossed Lu Chen, looked at Lin Jinxi behind Lu Chen, and said lightly: "I am the second lady of the Lin family, but you are a little mongrel, not worthy of the surname Lin, you are the eternal shame of the Lin family! ”
As soon as these words came out, Lu Chen's brows furrowed slightly, it was not the first time he had heard someone call Lin Jinxi a little mongrel, when he stepped into the deacon's room of the miscellaneous servant house yesterday, Jiang Hong called Lin Jinxi like this. Lu Chen thought it was Jiang Hong's mantra and didn't take this matter to heart, at this time it seemed that there must be something else hidden in it.
Lu Chen turned his gaze and saw that Lin Jinxi's thin body under his shirt trembled slightly, his face turned a little paler, and his silver teeth bit his lip, making his lips white and purple.
Lin Jinxi's appearance fell in Lin Qiuxue's eyes, and the latter was like a general who had won a battle, raising his arrogant head and a sneer on the corner of his mouth.
"Walking with the little mongrel, and helping the little mongrel get ahead, you are really a new handyman, and a handyman who doesn't have long eyes, do you want me to tell you the origin of the little bastard?" Lin Qiuxue sneered, her voice fell, and before Lu Chen could respond, she turned away.
Lin Qiuxue left, Lu Chen secretly breathed a sigh of relief, turned to look at Lin Jinxi and asked, "Are you okay?"
Lin Jinxi was silent, shook her head and signaled that she was fine.
Seeing this, Lu Chen thought about it slightly, pressed a trace of doubt in his heart and didn't ask more, and then picked up the bamboo broom on the ground and started to clean the stone pile area first.
After such a delay, the sky gradually brightened. The Lin family's martial arts arena is very large, divided into many areas, and the stone pile area that Lu Chen and Lin Jinxi are responsible for cleaning is only one of them, so there are not only Lu Chen and Lin Jinxi on the martial arts arena. Lin Qiuxue had already left at this time, and there were no other Lin family disciples on the martial arts field, so the miscellaneous servants were unrestrained, and began to discuss unscrupulously while busy with the work in their hands.
Lu Chen was cleaning the stone pile area, and there was the whispering of several handymen not far away.
"Yesterday, we had a new male handyman in the South Courtyard, and it should be this person. One person said, the southern courtyard in his mouth is the Lin family's miscellaneous courtyard.
"Needless to say, it must be him! I don't even know the name of the little mongrel of the Lin family, and he is so close to the little mongrel, it's really stupid. ”
"Let me tell you, this kid is not only stupid, but also a stunned young man! I heard that as soon as he came to our Southern Courtyard yesterday, he had a big fight with Deacon Jiang. ”
"Is that true, and what is the result?"
"Hehe, do you need to say more about the result, are you also the first day to enter our South Courtyard. When he provoked Deacon Jiang, he broke ground on Tai Sui's head and plucked the tiger's head. Yesterday I happened to meet Brother Hao coming out of the deacon's room in the South Courtyard, and Brother Hao was ordered by Deacon Jiang to investigate the origin of this kid, and these things were told to me by Brother Hao himself. I also know that the kid's name is Lu Chen, and he is from the fairy town. ”
Lu Chen's brows moved slightly, and while sweeping the floor, he approached the past, intending to listen carefully to the news. A few whispering handymen were very alert, and when they saw Lu Chen approaching, they immediately closed their mouths and refused to say more.
"When I want you to speak, you all become dumb, and when I don't want you to speak, your mouths are like pouring beans, what a bunch of bastards. Lu Chen threw the bamboo broom in his hand to the ground, pointed at the whispering handymen and scolded angrily.
"Heh, what kind of murder is with us, if you really have the ability, why didn't you dare to be fierce with the second lady just now. One of the older handymen was scolded by a new handyman, who pointed his nose at him and sneered.
"Lao Tzu is called a person who knows the times as a handsome man, how can you only know that chewing the root of your tongue behind people's backs is simply a group of rats breeding in the gutter. Lu Chen's face was not red and his heart was not beating, and he pointed at the other party's nose and scolded.
Lu Chen's scolding completely angered the three male handymen opposite.
"I'm really going to put gold on your face, everyone is a handyman in the Lin Mansion, if we are a bunch of rats in the gutter, you kid will not be much better. ”
"Oh, yes, you don't know it yet, your good days are coming to an end. Deacon Jiang has already sent Brother Hao to Xianling Town to investigate your origins, and when Brother Hao comes back, there will be a time when you kid is crying. ”
"What nonsense with him, let's do our job and wait to see a good show. ”
The two people next to him pulled their companions, and the three of them walked into the distance.
Hearing this, Lu Chen's eyes lit up, and when he scolded them, he naturally didn't have nothing to do when he was full, but to get something useful from the mouths of the three people, and these three stupid hats really said things that were very useful to themselves. Jiang Hong sent someone to the fairy town to investigate himself, I am afraid that it will not be long before he returns, and then it will be the moment for Jiang Hong to make a move.
Lin Jinxi was worried when he heard this, stepped forward, and said, "Let's go and apologize to Deacon Jiang and admit our mistakes." ”
Lu Chen shook his head and said with a smile: "It's useless." Don't say I won't apologize at all, even if I do, that dead fat pig won't let me go. So, why bother. Don't worry, I won't stay in the Lin Family's Miscellaneous Servants for too long, as soon as the March period expires, I will definitely leave the Miscellaneous Servants Courtyard and become an official disciple of the Lin Family!"
Lin Jinxi saw the confident look on Lu Chen's face, suddenly thought of something, and asked, "Have you succeeded?"
Lu Chen nodded.
"Congratulations. Lin Jinxi straightened his expression and said seriously, but the voice was very small, only she and Lu Chen could hear it.
For mortals, the title of the gold list, the marriage is good, and the wealth is extensive...... It's all something to congratulate. For martial artists, only self-cultivation is the only thing worth congratulating.
Lu Chen grinned and calmly accepted Lin Jinxi's congratulations. Then the two of them didn't say anything more, and went all out to clean the stone pile area.
It is not an easy task to clean the stone pile area of the martial arts arena, there are hundreds of stone piles in total, and they stand like a forest. There are differences in the height of each stone pile, the short stone pile reaches the waist of the person, the high stone pile is over the top of the person's head, the fat stone pile is as thick as a thigh, and the thin stone pile is as thin as a child's arm......
The first step is to clean up the fallen leaves and debris on the ground, the second step is to take care of the dust on each stone pile, the third step is to evenly apply a special oily liquid to each stone pile, and finally wait until all the stone piles are dry.
Time passes bit by bit, step by step, Lu Chen easily understands that seemingly simple steps are not simple. If it weren't for Lin Jinxi's careful guidance, Lu Chen wouldn't have thought about taking care of his own work before dawn. In this way, Lin Jinxi took care of most of the stone piles, and Lu Chen only took care of a small part of the stone piles.
"Whew~~~ It's finally cleaned up. At this time, the sky was already bright, Lu Chen stretched his arms, looked at the shining stone piles in front of him, and said with a sense of accomplishment.
"Would you like to take a break? Lin Jinxi came over with a bamboo broom and asked.
Lu Chen flipped through the wooden card of the miscellaneous service task hanging on his waist, glanced at Lin Jinxi and shook his head: "Let's go, there are still many things ahead." ”
Under normal circumstances, the daily tasks of miscellaneous disciples are arranged in advance, and there are all kinds of things, big and small, one next to the other. Of course, there are some special circumstances, such as the Lin family suddenly came to the VIP and rare guests, or the family owner, worship, young master, and young lady had other instructions, Lin Jinxi went to the fairy town to pick up Lu Chen and stepped into the Lin family is an example.
After leaving the martial arts arena, Lu Chen and Lin Jinxi were like two spinning spirals......
Around noon, in the deacon's room of the miscellaneous office, Jiang Hong was resting on the recliner when suddenly a hurried footstep came from outside the door, and then a figure flashed in.
Jiang Hong slept in a better state, and was suddenly interrupted, his heart was full of anger, and as soon as his eyes opened a slit, he scolded sharply: "What kind of dog thing, don't you know that Deacon Ben is taking a lunch break at this time?"
"My lord, it's me. Qi Hao said in a low voice with a bitter face, after inquiring about Lu Chen's affairs clearly, he rushed back to the Lin family non-stop, and even came to the deacon's room of the miscellaneous office for the first time.
"I'm back, how did you do the things you explained?" Seeing that it was Qi Hao, Jiang Hong took a deep breath and suppressed the anger in his heart.
"Back to the adults, the small ones live up to expectations. Qi Hao said as he picked up a lychee from the plate, peeled it and handed it to Jiang Hong's mouth.
Jiang Hong swallowed the lychee in one gulp, his face was slightly pale, and Qi Hao continued: "My lord, that Luchen is the ...... of a medical hall in Xianling Town."
Jiang Hong saw that Qi Hao was going to make a long speech, and he suddenly had a headache, frowned and interrupted: "Why is it like talking like an old woman's footcloth, I don't know if it's a long story short!"
"Yes, sir. Qi Hao pondered for a moment and said, "My lord, according to my investigation, this kid named Lu Chen has no way to come, so he should not be afraid. And, there is also very good news. ”
