Under the warm winter sun,
There was a lot of traffic in front of the Xu Mansion, and there was still an endless stream of traffickers and lackeys. Qin Mo, who had used the secret technique of disguise, blended in and was inconspicuous.
This is already the third day since he arrived in Jingjiang City.
Before arriving at Jingjiang City, he had been planning to sneak into the mansion directly under the cover of night to rescue people, but he decisively gave up the whole option after seeing the size of the Xu Mansion.
too big.
This mansion occupies a huge area. If the internal layout is not clear, even if you sneak in, you will not be able to find anyone in a short time unless you are lucky.
Moreover, there are powerful people in Xu Mansion. Even if a teacher covers his aura, there is still a great risk of being exposed.
The rescue operation has reached a deadlock.
However, when eating at nearby stalls in the past two days, he heard others mention that there was a beautiful woman in the Xu family who went out twice.
Qin Mo wanted to try his luck and see if he could meet Jinxuan who was out outside the mansion.
If you can encounter him, you no longer need to risk entering the Xu Mansion.
But the wait lasted two days.
Qin Mo sighed slightly, walked to a noodle stall next to Xu's house, ordered some noodles with meat, found a table to sit down, and looked at the place not far away without leaving a trace. The gate of Xu Mansion.
Soon the boss took a bowl of hot noodles out of the big pot and brought it over.
Qin Mo was eating and thinking about his next plan.
suddenly,
A rather honest voice came from the table next to him.
"...Old Liu Tou, I heard that your son was recruited into the Xu Mansion as a long-term worker. Is he so powerful?"
"..."
When Qin Mo heard the content, he immediately raised his eyebrows keenly and looked back at them.
This is a middle-aged man and a skinny old man, both wearing coarse linen clothes. There are some mountain products on the ground next to them. They should be people going to the city for the market.
Look back and listen carefully.
After the honest man finished speaking, the skinny old man replied slowly and proudly:
"What's so great about it? I spent several taels of money to get it in through connections."
Hearing this, the honest man next to him lowered his voice:
"Hey...Old Liu Tou, I heard that a junior worker in the Xu Mansion gets one tael of silver every month. Is this true?"
The old man named Lao Liu Tou glanced at the middle-aged man next to him with some dignity, and touched his beard:
"With so much money, the monthly income is always just over the top."
One tael of silver can be exchanged for two taels of money at the end of the month.
"Always stand out?! Then this year and more will pay for itself, tsk tsk..." The honest man smacked his tongue for a while, with some emotion in his eyes, rubbed his hands, and shrunk his basket of mountain goods with a smile. The old man pushed over there:
"Brother Liu, our two families are family friends. Ahem, can you tell me what kind of relationship you have?"
The skinny old man glanced at it, wrinkles blooming on his face: "It doesn't matter... Haha, it's easy, as long as you..."
"...."
"..."
After listening carefully to the conversation between the two,
After finishing the noodles, Qin Mo put down a dozen coins and stood up to leave, roughly having an idea in his mind.
...
...
One day later,
Jingjiang Xu Mansion,
Outside the southwest door for servants to enter and exit,
The alley was quiet, but at this moment bursts of training sounds were heard.
"...You all must remember the rules of my mansion. Anyone who dares to break any trouble will be subject to the rules of the mansion!"
"...When you enter my Xu Mansion, do more, talk less and look less, and you will never be in arrears with your monthly payment..."
"...The world outside is so chaotic right now. Being able to come and work in my Xu Mansion is a blessing that you have cultivated for eight lifetimes!"
A young steward stood on the steps and lectured the new long-term workers in front of him.
It wasn't until his mouth became dry that the young steward waved his hand to signal the concierge Xiao Si to open the door and prepare to leave.
But as if he thought of something, he stopped again, turned his head and spoke with a hint of warning:
"Oh, by the way, don't blame me, Li Ping, for not reminding you. After a while, the foreman will lead you to familiarize yourself with the environment and keep your eyes open. Those ladies, ladies, and even maids are not something you cowards can look at. "
"Especially Miss Su."
"Back then, a sixth-grade immortal master was killed by the Third Young Master with one palm, let alone you cowards. If you make the Third Young Master unhappy by staring at him, the Heavenly King will not be able to protect you!"
After that, the concierge opened the door behind him, and the young steward turned and left.
As soon as the steward left, the long-term workers below began to discuss in whispers. Qin Mo, who had changed his appearance, was also talking softly among the crowd.
He heard the news at the noodle stall. After many twists and turns, he spent seven taels of silver to buy his place from a dark-skinned young man.
Hence the current scene.
After waiting outside the door for about a quarter of an hour, several foremen in long gowns belatedly came over to select people.
Qin Mo was picked among the first batch because of his tall stature and was responsible for pruning and cleaning the gardens in the mansion.
When new servants and long-term workers enter the mansion, the foreman will generally lead them around the mansion and inform them about the work content and some taboos in the mansion.
Walked all the way,
Even though he had been prepared, at this moment, Qin Mo was no different from the other long-term workers around him, and there was still a hint of shock in his eyes.
The entire Jingjiang Xu Mansion is like a royal palace.
There are pavilions, bridges and flowing water, one courtyard after another, and finally there is a huge lake built inside.
"Boy, can you stop acting like a bumpkin?"
The voice coming from the bottom of his heart stopped Qin Mo's thinking for two seconds. There was no trace on the surface, but he asked in his heart:
"I'm just a little surprised. But old man, won't you be discovered when you talk to me in this house?"
The middle-aged male voice said calmly:
"I can help you cover up your aura, and naturally I can talk to you."
"Then can you help me find Jinxuan?"
"Boy, there is at least a great master in this mansion. If I use my soul to search for him, I will probably be discovered."
Qin Mo looked slightly disappointed when he heard this and said in his heart:
"Then I'll take my time, there will always be a chance."
"Haha..." a middle-aged man chuckled: "Are you excited to see your little lover?"
"We are just friends." Qin Mo said helplessly in his heart.
"Haha, okay, we are just good friends. I think of the old man and the saints of the sect when I was young..."
"..."
Listening to the slightly annoying thoughts in his ears, Qin Mo secretly remembered the paths he had taken in his mind.
After wandering around for half an hour, a group of servants and long-term workers, led by the foreman, returned to the corner of the lake and began to assign some simple tasks.
Qin Mo mingled in the crowd and listened silently, feeling a little excited.
He was actually assigned to a position in this circle by the lake.
This position is undoubtedly the most likely to encounter Jinxuan.
Then the next step is to wait quietly for the opportunity...
Before his thoughts fell, Qin Mo's eyes suddenly condensed.
In this huge lake, a long bridge extends from the edge of the lake to the center of the lake. There is an elegant attic built in the middle of the lake.
At this moment, a young man in brocade robes with long flowing hair walked out of the attic in the center of the lake and walked along the trestle toward the shore.
"..." Qin Mo narrowed his eyes.
"Boy, that must be Xu Changtian, right?"
The thoughts that disappeared without knowing when sounded again.
Qin Mo looked away, with no emotion on his face, and said in his heart:
"I know."
The middle-aged male voice said with a hint of ridicule:
"Haha, this kid is quite good looking. He is much better looking than you."
Qin Mo wasn't angry either, he just smiled in his heart and replied:
"Old man, along the way here, have you and I seen enough of this kind of useless trash?"
"Haha, that's true."
The deep middle-aged man chuckled: "Are you planning to go to the middle of the lake tonight? I feel that the attic in the middle of the lake is very suitable for hiding a beauty in a golden house."
Qin Mo was a little moved when he heard this, but he still held it back:
"No, old man, you also said that there is a great master in this mansion, so it's best not to act rashly. After the foreman has assigned the rooms, first find some old people to get some information. Jin Xuan will not be famous among these servants. , don’t rush this moment.”
And during the conversation between the two,
The young man in brocade robes has already walked along the road.
Random glances,
Just in time to face Qin Mo...
