Chapter 8 We Will Be Neighbors Later
Jiang Hong, who was pressed on the recliner, was so frightened by this sudden change that his fat body trembled like water ripples, and then a pair of eyes hidden in * suddenly widened, revealing an angry look, and he was about to scold Lu Chen when he stood up.
Lu Chen was unmoved, and snorted coldly: "Deacon Jiang, you'd better figure out one thing before deciding whether or not to be angry with me. Today, I am not here to beg you to do something! I am here to report to the Lin family's miscellaneous office on the order of the head of the Lin family. Before noon today, if I don't successfully register and receive all the items I should receive, you will wait for the head of the Lin family to personally ask you why!"
As soon as these words came out, Jiang Hong's anger just now was like a deflated ball.
"You, what is the relationship between you and the head of the family?" Jiang Hong asked in a trembling voice when he saw Lu Chen's intimidating voice.
"The head of the family?" Lu Chen sneered and shouted: "The head of the family is the respect of the Lin family, but you only shouted the head of the family when you opened your mouth, and there was no respect in your heart. It's really against you!"
Hearing this, Jiang Hong's face changed suddenly, he turned pale, and he was so frightened that he fell directly from the recliner, sat on the ground and said again and again in the direction of the Lin family's main hall: "Your Excellency, forgive your sins." The head of the family forgives the sins. ”
Lu Chen said reluctantly: "Deacon Jiang, there is one more thing. Miscellaneous disciple Lin Jinxi went to Xianling Town to pick me up at the order of the head of the family, this is to do business for the Lin family. If you remember that she was absent from work for three days, the regular salary for this month will be reduced by half, and I will find an opportunity to talk about this matter with the head of the family. ”
Jiang Hong was so frightened that his neck shrank, his face turned a little paler, and he didn't care about his face, so he hurriedly changed his face and said, "Lu Chen...... Young Master Lu Chen, I was joking with you two just now. Lin Jinxi went to do errands on the orders of the head of the family, how could I remember her absenteeism, and also deduct her monthly money. It's all a joke, a joke. ”
"You like to joke a lot, don't you, and I like to joke with other people, too. Lu Chen looked down at Jiang Hong, who was a little shorter than himself, and said coldly: "Within ten breaths, if you can't handle all the things I do in the miscellaneous house, I will go directly to the head of the family and make the joke you made before to the head of the family." ”
"Knock Knock Knock ......"
Before Lu Chen could start counting, the deacon's room trembled under Jiang Hong's running, as if there was an earthquake.
"This house won't be collapsed by him, should the two of us go out and take shelter first?" Lu Chen looked at Lin Jinxi and asked.
"Poof. Lin Jinxi on the side was still very worried, but after seeing Lu Chen's appearance, he couldn't help laughing.
At this moment, Lu Chen only felt that a mountain was crashing towards him, turned his head to look, and saw Jiang Hong holding a bunch of items in both hands, panting and saying to himself, "Okay." Young Master Lu Chen. ”
"It's hard for you. Lu Chen took his belongings one by one, reached out and patted Jiang Hong, and said lightly.
Jiang Hong was so frightened that he hurriedly shook his head and waved his hand, "Don't be embarrassed." Don't be embarrassed. It is not difficult to do things for Young Master Lu Chen. ”
At this moment, Lin Jinxi, who was witnessing everything on the side, had the illusion that Lu Chen should be the deacon of the Lin family's miscellaneous servants, and Jiang Hong was a timid little handyman in front of Lu Chen.
"Bring it. Lu Chen said.
"What?" Jiang Hong's eyes were stunned.
As soon as these words came out, Lu Chen glanced at Jiang Hong with a slanted look.
Jiang Hong shrank his neck in fright, a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, he understood what was going on, and hurriedly said, "Young Master Lu Chen, please take it." ”
As he spoke, the fragments of silver fell into Lu Chen's hands.
Lu Chen didn't even look at it, and said with a dissatisfied face: "Why is it just like this, I remember that Lin Jinxi obviously gave you a piece of gold." ”
When Jiang Hong heard this, he almost squirted out, and his face was as if he had been slapped twice with the sole of his shoe, how ugly it was.
The fragmentary silver taels that Lin Jinxi took out together were less than ten taels of silver, and when they reached Lu Chen's mouth, they turned into a gold ingot. Jiang Hong only felt that he was stealing chickens and rice! However, he couldn't figure out where this new little handyman came from, so he didn't dare not give it, so he gritted his teeth and found a gold ingot from his sleeve.
"Young Master Lu Chen, please take it. Jiang Hong said with a painful face.
"Let's go. Lu Chen took away an ingot of gold, ignored Jiang Hong, looked at Lin Jinxi and said.
"Oh. Lin Jinxi's apricot eyes were slightly stunned, and it took a while to react, and he followed behind Lu Chen step by step.
After moving away from the deacon's room, Lu Chen suddenly paused and turned around.
Lin Jinxi didn't know what he was thinking, and he didn't notice that Lu Chen had stopped, and he crashed into Lu Chen's arms before he noticed the abnormality.
Rubbing his forehead, Lin Jinxi took two steps back apologetically.
"Reach out. Lu Chen smiled slightly and said.
"Oh. Lin Jinxi timidly stretched out her hand, and then only felt that her palm sank slightly, and Lu Chen put a gold ingot and a fragment of silver into her hand.
Lin Jinxi was about to speak, Lu Chen took out a key, changed the topic, and said: "Miss Lin, I am not familiar with the miscellaneous courtyard, which door this key opens, I still have to bother you." ”
Lu Chen noticed that after Lin Jinxi leaned over to look at the number of the key in her hand, a blush appeared on her cheeks.
Lin Jinxi lowered his head and said in a voice like a mosquito: "Lu Chen, I'll take you there." ”
Lu Chen naturally has no opinion.
Without saying anything all the way, Lu Chen was led by Lin Jinxi to a corner of the miscellaneous courtyard.
Lin Jinxi pointed to a door and said softly, "Lu Chen, that one is your room." ”
"Where do you live?" Lu Chen asked with a nod.
As soon as these words came out, Lin Jinxi lowered his head and said in an almost inaudible voice: "It's next door to your left." ”
"Is the miscellaneous house a mix of men and women?" Lu Chen was slightly surprised.
Lin Jinxi nodded and said, "Although there are men and women living in the miscellaneous courtyard, it is not what you think. Both male and female handymen are concentrated in their respective areas and have no intersection. This area does not belong to either the male or female partisan area. Because of the poor lighting, I have always been the only one to live in, and now you are the second. ”
Lu Chen heard something strange, his eyes moved slightly, he didn't ask much, and said with a smile: "Then we will be neighbors in the future, I see that this place is just right, there are no people, it is very quiet, and if you encounter something you don't understand, you can ask for advice at any time." ”
Next, Lu Chen opened the door and tidied up the room, all of which were trivial, but fortunately, with Lin Jinxi's assistance, in less than half an hour, the room was completely new.
"Lu Chen, you are also a handyman now, and you shouldn't have offended Deacon Jiang before. He was scared by you before, the biggest reason is that he doesn't know where you came from, and when he understands it, he will definitely not let you go, have you thought about what to do next?" Lin Jinxi asked worriedly.
Lu Chen shrugged his shoulders and said with an indifferent expression: "That fat pig, even if I can endure him for a while, I can't bear him for a lifetime." Anyway, it was only a matter of time before he offended him, and it was better to have such a long pain than a short one. As for what to do next, I haven't figured it out yet. But if everything in the Lin family is based on its own strength, then there is no need to worry. I will strive to become a powerful warrior as soon as possible, and then the fat pig who bullies the soft and is afraid of the hard will never dare to find my stubble again. If he dares, I'll turn him into a real pig's head. ”
Lin Jinxi didn't expect Lu Chen to be so open, and so confident, she thought for a while and said, "Lu Chen, you wait for me." Turning to leave, and soon going back and forth, Lu Chen noticed that she had two more small books in her hand.
Handing over the two small books to Lu Chen, Lin Jinxi said solemnly: "Lu Chen, this is the first secret of the Lin family's innate qi cultivation technique, and it has my cultivation experience on it. There is also a copy of Lin Jiaquan, you can take these. Start cultivating earlier, if you can achieve the first layer of cultivation of the Qi Cultivation Technique, you can move out of the Miscellaneous Servant Courtyard and go to the Lin Family's West Courtyard, and you won't have to be threatened by Deacon Jiang in the future. ”
"Innate Qi Cultivation Technique?Lin Family Cultivation Technique?" Lu Chen said with a slight surprise: "Didn't you say earlier that the miscellaneous disciples can only obtain the first layer of the Lin Family's Innate Qi Cultivation Secret and the Lin Family Fist if they have been in the Lin Family for three months?"
Lin Jinxi is tantamount to privately teaching himself the secret of cultivation! The Lin family naturally does not allow such a thing to happen, if Lin Jinxi's actions are known by the Lin family's management, the responsibility will be extremely heavy!
"Hmm. Lin Jinxi nodded and advised: "Lu Chen, you start cultivating now, but don't expose it in front of people, and when you are three months old, you can leave the miscellaneous courtyard directly." ”
"I see. Lu Chen nodded heavily, remembering Lin Jinxi's kindness in his heart.
I don't know how long it took, and in the deacon's room of the miscellaneous office, a fat figure walked around in it.
The more Jiang Hong thought about it, the more angry he became, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt that something was wrong. Suddenly, Jiang Hong slapped his thigh and said regretfully: "I was frightened by that stinky boy! If that stinky boy really knew the head of the family, how could he enter the miscellaneous courtyard, at least to the west courtyard." ”
"But before we can do anything to that stinky boy, we need to investigate to make sure nothing goes wrong. Jiang Hong muttered to himself, walked behind the pillar, and pulled a rope vigorously.
Soon, a figure rushed into the deacon's room in the Miscellaneous Servants' House.
"My lord, what's the matter with being so anxious to find a little one?" the visitor nodded and said with a respectful and flattering face.
"Qi Hao, why are you here so slowly!" Jiang Hong complained.
Qi Hao was speechless for a while, as soon as he heard the bell ringing, he rushed over non-stop, it was still too slow, next time it is estimated that he will have to fly over.
Thinking of it in his heart, Qi Hao's face did not show a trace of unhappiness, and he became more and more respectful, and said: "Have you encountered troubles for adults, and the little ones are willing to share their worries and solve problems for adults." ”
As soon as these words came out, Jiang Hong's face turned slightly pale, and he said, "I want you to investigate a person's origin." ”
"Your Excellency, please. Qi Hao said.
Jiang Hong thought for a moment and said, "I only know that this person's name is Lu Chen, a young man of about fifteen or sixteen years old, who originally lives in the fairy spirit town, and everything else is for you to investigate." How long will it take you?"
"Don't worry, small things have always been neat, and before noon tomorrow, I will ensure that this matter will be done for my lords. At that time, even if adults want to know, this kid named Lu Chen brought a few hairs when he was born, and the little one can answer in one bite. Qi Hao assured, secretly remembering Lu Chen and Fairy Town.
"Go and come back. ”
"Yes, sir. ”
