The girl looked confused and looked at the man in front of her with a scrutinizing gaze.
I just haven't seen the world, and I want to see how many spiritual stones are underneath. Lin Jie cursed in his heart, then took back his hand and answered with a gentle smile.
"Miss, I am Deacon Shen An's guest. I just saw the beautiful flowers and wanted to get closer to enjoy them."
The doubt on the girl's face did not diminish when she heard this. She looked at it carefully for a moment and asked curiously.
"Are you really my father's guest? But I've never seen you before."
Is this Shen An's daughter? Lin Jie looked at the other party carefully after hearing this.
In his prime years, with green temples and a beautiful face, there is nothing similar to the Shen An just now.
Could it be that he was cheated?
"What are you thinking about?"
The girl was carefully studied by Lin Jie for a moment, and when she saw that he was distracted and had a strange expression on her face, she couldn't help but become angry, and there was a blush on her face.
Lin Jie came to his senses and explained to her apologetically.
"I'm from the sect, don't you know?"
"Yunshan Sect? I don't know. I have no talent for cultivation. Dad rarely tells me this."
Lin Jie sighed, he could grow a courtyard of spiritual flowers even if he didn't have the talent for cultivation. Sure enough, background is often greater than hard work.
"Fine."
Lin Jie seemed to understand why she valued this flower bed so much. He suddenly smiled and said seriously.
"Your father is really nice to you."
"Of course. I begged my father for a long time before he would plant it. But luckily I have my eldest brother and two brothers who put in good words for me."
She giggled, her eyebrows curved into crescents, she was very endearing, and it seemed that the man in front of her was no longer as annoying as before, so she knelt down and spoke seriously.
"My name is Shen Riyue, what's yours?"
"Lin Quli"
Lin Jie's tone was calm and serious, not like lying.
"What a weird name."
The girl muttered something and looked at Lin Jie with a scrutinizing gaze. She didn't look like she was lying.
Lin Jie chatted with her for a while, then said goodbye and walked back.
Entering the hall, the three people who went to the study to talk have returned. Ning Yuan sat next to Zhao Guangming and discussed something with him.
When Lin Jie came in, he casually said hello and sat down.
Ning Yuan whispered in his ear.
"We'll have a meal here later and stay at the inn tonight."
"Don't you live here?"
Lin Jie was a little confused. He thought everyone would live here. The east and west wings of the Sanjin Mansion should not be able to entertain them.
Ning Yuan shook his head.
"It's not necessary. Neither we nor Shen An would feel comfortable living here."
That is indeed the case, he muttered in his heart, glanced sideways at the disciples on the main peak, and then whispered to Ning Yuan.
"People from the main peak also live in the inn?"
"Well, Qin Ping's decision, it seems that the sect master is not joking about rectifying the scum in the sect this time."
Lin Jie responded softly and stopped thinking about these trivial matters. He was thinking about how to engrave spiritual patterns on the jewelry that Senior Sister Qin bought for him.
Everyone chatted for a while until a servant came to inform Shen An that the banquet was ready.
After that, exquisite dishes, fine wine and fruits were served. It was placed in front of Lin Jie's table, filled with aroma and color.
whet his appetite.
Shen An first raised his glass to express his gratitude and welcome to the guests.
Hey, it's just a meal, why are there always so many troublesome etiquettes? Lin Jie complained in his heart and raised a glass with Ning Yuan to deal with it.
He didn't like drinking, so he asked the maid next to him to pour some "drink" and ate it with vegetables. It tasted good.
A girl walked in at the gate. It was Shen Riyue who he had met in the courtyard just now.
The little girl's eyes swept over everyone present and paused for a moment on Lin Jie.
Then she focused on Shen An again, and she stepped forward and came to Shen An's side.
Although Shen An's position is on the left, he is not in a high position. He is drinking a glass of wine. He is not in a good mood, and his whole face looks more gloomy.
The decision made by the sect gave him a bit of toothache, but it was impossible for him to openly violate it. However, there should be room for negotiation, and he wanted to fight for himself.
Thinking of this, his eyes caught a glimpse of the slim girl appearing at the door. His gloomy face was suddenly swept away and became bright.
He waved his hand and called his daughter over. When Shen Riyue came to him, he called out "Daddy" and his smile became brighter.
"Why do you want to come here?"
Shen Riyue squatted next to Shen An, rubbed his arm, and said without thinking.
"I saw a visitor coming to my house, and I was a little curious."
Shen An patted her head, his tone reproachful, and his smile did not diminish.
"What a girl, you must know the etiquette and let go."
Lin Jie glanced at it and was amazed. He didn't expect that Shen An was actually a daughter slave. He had just chatted with Ning Yuan, but he knew a lot of cruel things about Shen An.
But yes, if you don't pamper your daughter, you won't spend so many spiritual stones growing flowers.
Shen Riyue let go of Shen An's hand, then sat aside, occasionally looking at the people present.
She knew that these people were all fellow sects of her father's previous sect, and her eyes unconsciously fell on Lin Jie.
She couldn't help but feel a little curious and pushed Shen An next to her.
"Dad, what are the names of the three people on the right?"
Shen An looked over there and locked eyes on a young man wearing a red and white robe with a lazy expression, and then looked away.
Then he looked at his baby daughter. He had seen the list of disciples sent from outside, and had greeted them when they met. After thinking about it for a moment, he said something strange.
"It seems his name is Lin Jie, what's wrong?"
Shen Riyue was a little angry when he heard this. Good guy, he even said that he called Lin Quili. He was really just teasing her.
Seeing her daughter pouting her little mouth, her face was rosy and she looked angry.
Shen An suddenly felt sour in his heart, and then he remembered something.
"Do you know where your second brother and eldest brother went today?"
"How do I know this?"
Shen Riyue turned her head away angrily. She was so angry that she didn't even give Shen An face, acting like a little princess.
Shen An just smiled at this.
…………
After the dinner, Lin Jie and the others found an inn not far from Shen's residence and stayed there.
Lin Jie was lying on the wooden table, looking lazy, while Zhao Guangming was sitting upright with a serious expression.
Because Ning Yuan said he would come to his room to talk after checking the room.
So both of them were waiting for Ning Yuan to speak. Ning Yuan glanced at them and took out a booklet from the storage bag.
"The printed account book?"
Lin Jie took a look and blurted out.
Ning Yuan shook his head.
"it is true."
It seems that this supervision work is really not a tourist trip in name. It does not mean that we must make some achievements.
As soon as Ning Yuan's words came out, the atmosphere suddenly became serious. His eyes flickered between Lin Jie and Zhao Guangming, and finally looked at the honest and honest Comrade Zhao.
"Junior brother Zhao, you must be careful. Senior brother, I really don't know anything about auditing accounts and the like."
Sure enough, the nature of senior fellow apprentices is to exploit them, which is too much. I, Lin Jie, oppose this behavior in real name.
Lin Jie put away his laziness and looked at Ning Yuan.
"Senior Brother Ning, this audit is not an easy job. If you let Junior Brother Zhao do it alone, wouldn't it be too difficult for him? We are a team, a whole body, why not..."
Before he finished speaking, Ning Yuan nodded expressionlessly,
"That makes sense. Junior Brother Laolin will share the burden."
Lin Jie chuckled and patted Zhao Guangming on the shoulder.
"Old Zhao, do your best. I believe you can do it."
