Chapter 17: Huh?
After Ye Chen and Qianmeng explained some necessary matters to the principal of Huazhou, they entered the city.
Six streets and three markets in the city, thousands of households and thousands of doors, come and go, very lively.
Most of the people walking on the streets are men in costume with long hair, and women are very rare.
"Find a teahouse first, find a sensible junior to ask for directions, and eat some tea and snacks along the way. Ye Chen followed behind Qianmeng and proposed: "I have eaten some fruits in the past few days, and the birds have long faded out of my mouth." ”
Obviously, asking for directions is the way, and eating some delicious food is what Ye Chen really wants.
Listening to Ye Chen's words, Qianmeng stopped, turned his head and looked at Ye Chen in some surprise, and then shook his head as if he had thought of something and persuaded:
"You're about to start practicing, try not to eat worldly things.
Others have no conditions, but you are very lucky to be able to eat the spiritual fruit every day, which will be of great benefit to your future practice.
Don't ruin this fortune because of greed, don't worry, I know a place to ask for directions, just follow me. ”
This was the first time Ye Chen had heard Qianmeng say so many words in one breath, and at the same time, he also understood why the recipes of the Guantian Sect had changed, and his heart suddenly warmed and he was greatly moved.
Immediately, Ye Chen stopped mentioning anything to eat, and obediently followed behind Qianmeng.
After all, Qianmeng has been to Pingcheng a few times, and after some random exploration, she led Ye Chen to the City Lord's Mansion, presumably this is where she asked for directions.
When she reported the name of the deputy sect leader of the Heaven Viewing Sect, something surprising to Ye Chen happened.
They were directly treated as guests.
The city lord personally rushed to receive him, and after a long period of shouting and asking for warmth, Qianmeng finally got impatient and scolded the city lord loudly.
Suddenly, Ye Chen was dumbfounded, not only him, but even the old housekeeper who followed the city lord, as well as the maids and servants who served left and right, were also dumbfounded.
"Could it be that I don't understand it quite right?Isn't the Guantian Sect a tattered immortal gate?" Ye Chen said in his heart.
"Haven't you heard of the Heaven Viewing Sect?" said the old butler.
"Wow! That's cool, I'm going to have to look for a girlfriend like this in the future." A little guy said heartily.
"They are all women, why can she be high, but I want to be a cow and a horse?" said the maidservant.
The thing that made everyone dumbfounded was even more behind, and the city lord actually wiped the sweat on his face after hearing the reprimand, and hurriedly bowed his waist to make amends.
In this regard, Qianmeng just snorted coldly, raised his head and forgave him, and the city lord straightened his waist.
After Asa Meng made his intentions clear, the city lord directly said that he was very idle and could lead the way himself.
This made the old housekeeper on the side couldn't help but complain in his heart:
"Are you idle? Just the enrollment of Xianmen in Pingcheng in the past few days can make you have a headache and can't sleep. If you go and lead the way, won't it all fall on me? ”
In desperation, the old housekeeper could only take the initiative to ask for help, praying:
"Heijo can't be without the lord of the castle for a moment, I hope that I can have enough blessings to lead the way for the two noble lords, and wait for the lord of the castle. ”
The city lord cast an inquiring look at Asakuni, who waved his hand to show casualness.
The city lord breathed a sigh of relief, happily agreed, and patted the old butler on the shoulder, solemnly instructing him to be sure to serve him well, and never slack off.
The city lord said, and at the signal of the light dream, he hurriedly ran out of the house at a trot, it seems that he does not want to stay here for a moment.
After the city lord left, the old housekeeper led the two to the door and specially prepared a sedan chair, but was rejected by Asa Meng on the grounds that he didn't like it.
"The carriage?" said the old butler tentatively.
"Let's walk over, I want to see the ancient ...... too. The way of life of the people in the city. Ye Chen knew that Qianmeng didn't like to say much, so he took the initiative to propose.
At the same time, he was indeed very curious about the way of life of the ancients, and he had just walked around the streets a few times, and he was really not happy, and he had not seen any of the beautiful fairy sisters.
The old butler cautiously turned his gaze to the light dream and asked what she meant.
Obviously, Ye Chen is just a mortal, and he doesn't have enough face to make the old monster of Zhaojiji. (Old monsters, people look weird, that's all, and it doesn't have much to do with the mana realm.) )
At the moment, the light dream is really annoying, she is used to being alone, and she is really not good at dealing with people, which is also the reason why Lime asked her to be in charge of admissions, and it means to exercise her.
Otherwise, she can let Bai Susu come, with her mouth, it is estimated that all the immortal seedlings who can fool this year will apply for the Guantian Sect, and then ......
Let them all sleep in a wood-chamber and drink the northwest wind.
Qianmeng did not express his position this time, but handed the knife to Ye Chen and took the lead out of the City Lord's Mansion.
Ye Chen patted the old butler on the shoulder, whispered a word of self-begging, and trotted up with a knife to follow.
“......”
The old housekeeper's face was pulled down in an instant, and he looked like he was about to cry, and his face was full of grievances.
"It's over, if the city lord knows that he has only been gone for a long time, he will make that lord angry, and he will not pick my skin. ”
Just when the old housekeeper was panicking, Ye Chen ran back again.
"What are you doing in a daze?
"Oh! ”
......
Looking at Ye Chen, who was looking around like a mud leg from the countryside entering the city, the old housekeeper couldn't figure out why they would let the city lord pay so much attention to it.
The Guantian Sect, I really haven't heard of it, to be able to receive such treatment in the City Lord's Mansion, there is only one faction of the head of the two cities and three families in the entire Qinglan Domain.
Could it be from another realm? Or is it a hidden immortal gate?
"Boy, you shouldn't have come today, Xianmen enrollment, there will be countless immortals coming to Pingcheng, and some of their temperaments can no longer be regarded as humans. ”
"Yes...... It's my mother who is still waiting for me... Wait for me... Bring her something to eat, I'll ......."
"Okay, you stinky little ghost, forget it today, it's normal to be hungry for a meal or two, but of course life is more important in comparison. ”
The three people walking on the street, after hearing the sound from the alley next to them, Asamu first stopped and asked, "Hmm, what's the matter?"
"This ...... Go and see. The old butler said this, and walked two quick steps into the alley next to him.
Seeing this, Ye Chen also followed, while Qianmeng stood in place and yawned, with his hands behind his back, his neck resting on it, and a bright smile on his face.
What caught my eye was an embarrassed teenager with a shoulder on his shoulder.
The clothes are tattered, one shoe is missing, and the other is also rotten with a hole in the front, and at first glance you know that he is a poor child, but surprisingly he gives people a very clean feeling.
Carrying him on his shoulders was a young soldier, tall but not strong, and judging by the skillful movements of the guy he cleaned up, it should not have been the first or second time that he had encountered such a situation.
"What's the matter?" said the old butler without being angry.
In the end, he is still the chief steward of the City Lord's Mansion, although it is a bit exaggerated to say that he is above 10,000 people under one person, but it is not far behind.
"This stinky boy is not in good clothes, and I am afraid that he will be dirty in the eyes of the immortals who will soon come to this city, and I am driving him out. ”
The soldier naturally knew the identity of the old butler in front of him, and hurriedly stood up and made a military salute, but still held the stinky boy in his mouth on his body.
"Well, the action is sharp. The old butler waved his hand and said, "What is your name, what realm, and what position are you currently in?"
"Zhao Si! Seventh layer of Qi training, Wu Chang. ”
"Well, yes, go back and talk to your lordship, just say what I said, you will be a long time in the future. ”
"This ...... It's useless, I'm sorry, my lord, I ...... You can't do that. The tall soldier hesitated, but finally refused.
"Practicing Qi at the seventh level to be a captain is indeed a talent. And there is virtue in his position, which is what the lord of the city often talks about. The old butler was very satisfied with the soldier's performance, and nodded and continued.
"Although you say that he is a stinky boy, you are willing to carry him on your shoulders, and you are even afraid that he will make me unhappy because of his shouting, so you use mana to seal his mouth, you have this virtue, then you can rest assured, this is the city lord's concept of governing the city, go buy something to eat and celebrate." ”
Afterwards, the young soldier was overjoyed by his promotion, so he bought food for the stinky boy he was talking about, and sent him home himself.
It is worth mentioning that Ye Chen liked that although the young man was poor and not sloppy, he stuffed a raisin-like fruit into his mouth.
After eating the spirit fruit, it is not a problem to grow more strength to support the family.
As for the soldier, because he had already been promoted, Ye Chen didn't do anything.
"Done?" asked Asamume.
"Hmm," the old butler nodded.
Light Dream ignored the old butler and set his sights on Ye Chen.
"It's even better than you think. Ye Chen replied.
I have to say that the old housekeeper does have management talents.
Not only did he solve the problem and establish his own prestige, but also promoted the concept of virtue in his position among the low-level soldiers in a high-profile manner.
And most importantly, don't forget to slap the ass of your own city lord.
Even after many years of retrospect, Ye Chen still felt that the old housekeeper's way of doing things was extremely sophisticated.
Saving the emergency does not help the poor, which is why the tall soldier has the ability to buy food for the teenager out of his own pocket, but he does not buy it, but carries the teenager away.
There are hundreds or thousands of people like the teenagers in Pingcheng alone, and they do not suffer from poverty but suffer from inequality, and today the teenagers do not work for anything because they are pitiful, and tomorrow there will inevitably be many more people who demand the same treatment.
As a manager, the old housekeeper undoubtedly did the right thing, of course, Ye Chen didn't feel that he had done something wrong.
It's normal to see someone in need and help them.
