Shen Mansion, New Moon Residence.
Lu Jin, who had been sitting on the chair for most of the day, finally came to his senses and understood why Shen Yanxi was angry. But this temper is too big, so what?
This time the girl was really pissed off.
It is not clear in the first place, and the confused life looks like the clouds and mist shrouding Qingqiu, making it difficult to see clearly.
Lu Jin felt a little discouraged. He had no memory, no golden finger, and he was just an ordinary person in his previous life. Coming to a new world, the inertia of thinking is not so easy to change. Although he reminds himself all the time, he still unconsciously uses the thinking habits of his previous life.
This original owner is also true. If he had left some memory for himself, he wouldn't have been incompatible with this world for so long. Too stingy!
The initial conversation went quite smoothly, and the other party was easy to talk to. At least it was easier to communicate than the heroines in the husband-in-law novels he had read. Maybe it was because of this feeling of good about myself that I completely forgot about the current environment while chatting.
For Lu Jin, he only wanted an answer, but the result was disappointing.
Seeing the three girls standing in the room with gloomy faces, Lu Jin didn't know what to say. It's always your own fault.
"Uncle, what did you say to the young lady? How did you make the young lady so angry?" Tou Caiyun, the maid, felt that she had to stand up and ask, at least to understand. Seeing that this uncle was about to die, how could she still do it? Is it good?
"..." How could Lu Jin speak?
Just as he was about to pick up the teacup on the table and take a sip of water, Lu Jin noticed several stacked papers on the table.
Lu Jin didn't reply to the maid's words. He took the paper on the table and opened it to read.
One of them had the word "Floating Ticket" written on it. Lu Jin's name is written in the middle from top to bottom, and on the left and right sides are Lu Jin's other additional information: Tong Sheng, Shangqing County, Jiangzhou Prefecture. He is of medium stature, has a fair complexion and has no beard, and is number 12. There is nothing else on paper. Oh, there’s also a seal, it’s too fancy and unrecognizable.
This seemed to be something like an admission ticket... In addition to the name Lu Jin, which he had already known, he saw a key piece of information, Tong Sheng from Shangqing County, Jiangzhou Prefecture.
It turned out that he guessed that since the exam was in Jiangzhou, he must first be from Jiangzhou Prefecture and it shouldn't be a big problem. But he didn't dare to completely believe it. After all, he didn't know the details of the history very well. He didn't know if there was any cross-district examination. What's more, this world that he knew didn't exist at all in history.
Now it is basically confirmed, Shangqing County. In other words, his home should be in Shangqing County. As for where it is in Shangqing County, I don't know. But I finally gained something.
"Where is Mr. Lu?"
Just as I was about to pick up the last one and read it, I heard shouting from outside the yard.
Lu Jin put down the piece of paper and hurriedly walked out of the room with the maid. There were three men in raincoats standing in the yard. In the front was an old man who was over fifty years old, and in the back were two young men dressed as warriors, standing upright in the rain with swords in their hands, their faces filled with murderous intent.
What's happening here? Lu Jin was confused. Wouldn't he come to settle a score with him just because he made Shen Yanxi angry? Isn't it?
"That's me." Lu Jin replied with a deep heart.
Old man Xuanyi took a few steps forward, with a pair of eyes like eagles on his bronze face, staring at Lu Jin.
"That's good. Mr. Lu, the master of the house is here to invite you!" The voice was like a heavy hammer and the words were like knives, instantly shattering all the luck in Lu Jin's heart.
Lu Jin was confused for a moment. What was supposed to come finally came.
The group of people walked on the road in silence. Uncle Jiang, the steward of the Meiyuan of Shen Mansion, who walked in front, walked steadily and vigorously. Following behind was a young man in plain clothes. The young man had thin cheeks, a pale face, and a dull expression. The rainwater flowed down his face, onto his neck and into his clothes, but the young man ignored it and just followed the housekeeper. The two knights in mysterious clothes were at the back, holding their hands on the hilts of their swords at their waists, with hard eyes and iron expressions.
People passed by from time to time, and they all took a quick glance, and then continued to move forward in a hurry, just because the rain was getting heavier.
I don’t know what happened to this kid, but looking at this scene is really scary.
The Shen Mansion is very big. There are very few people who have met Lu Jin, and even fewer people know that he is the aunt of the Shen Mansion.
A son-in-law in a wealthy family like the Shen Mansion is really not worth taking a second look at.
Of course, if he knew that he was Shen Yanxi's husband, the results might be a little different.
Lu Jin felt calm now, because it didn't matter anymore. But he was still surprised by this battle, so he just said a word. Is this all?
Or is there something else? Lu Jin still had a trace of luck in his heart.
After walking for a long time, I finally came to a house. Although the current situation was a bit bad, Lu Jin was once again shocked by the arrogance of the Shen family.
He has never been to Meiyuan, and his activities are mainly in Xinyue Residence. He can get a rough idea of the scale of Shen Mansion from the words of the maid and on the way to Beihai.
The Plum Garden is very beautiful, with views everywhere. In future generations, it will be a top check-in holy place, especially in this rain, it fully displays the Jiangnan style.
I don't know if I will have the opportunity to take a closer look at Shen Yuan in the future.
When he came to the door, the butler continued to walk in, but the samurai holding the umbrella stopped. Lu Jin continued to follow the housekeeper, but was stopped by the samurai with his sword across his shoulder.
Lu Jin was also helpless. From what he knew about the history in his previous life, the aristocratic families did dominate for a period of time. In the Eastern Jin Dynasty, there was even a saying that "the king and the horse share the world", and Wuyi Lane was also synonymous with wealthy families. Later in the development of the Tang Dynasty, there was a theory of five surnames and seven hopes. After the continuous disputes in the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, the aristocratic families gradually disappeared in the long river of history and were replaced by small and medium-sized landowners and scholar families.
But even so, does anyone carry a knife at home? Are you going to kill people at any time or something! It won’t be over today, right?
If you don't go in, don't go in. Let's get wet together in the rain.
Seeing the old man enter the house, Lu Jin simply didn't think about it and just waited.
It's good to be from a wealthy family. There are countless servants waiting inside and outside here. Lu Jin only saw a few people inside and outside the door, and there were people passing by from time to time.
Lu Jin was looking around boredly, and he couldn't hear the sounds in the room clearly.
"Kneel down!" came a voice, it was the housekeeper who had just come out of the house.
The butler's face was as black as iron.
Make me kneel down? You are thinking too much, Lu Jin stood still.
"Snapped!"
"ah!"
While Lu Jin was unyielding, the samurai standing behind hit Lu Jin in the knee with a scabbard. Lu Jin immediately fell to his knees on the stone floor.
Lu Jin grimaced, his whole knee was in unbearable pain.
Damn it!
Lu Jin struggled to remember. Just as he bent down to stand up, the scabbard was knocked down again.
It hurts!
Lu Jin had never experienced such humiliation. In his previous life, the worst he could do was not serve him anymore.
Lu Jin put his hands on the ground and thought about it again. A good man has gold at his knees.
"Mr. Lu, do you think it's your knees that are hard, or my sword?" The warrior standing behind said in a cold tone, and the warrior standing in front also turned back and looked at him expressionlessly.
Well, he who knows the current affairs is a hero, let’s wait and see who the father is in the future!
"My adopted son-in-law, Lu Jin, doesn't know the dignity and inferiority of his family, and he speaks without words. According to the Shen family law, the staff is twenty! Kneel down to your son!" The butler's voice was like cold iron.
Lu Jin was completely dumbfounded. He was thinking about it, but he didn't expect it to be because of such a trivial matter? And the punishment is so severe.
After walking for most of the day, I arrived here. I originally wanted to meet and argue with each other. It was an unintentional mistake on my part, so it’s not really a big sin. As a result, he was sentenced like this without even seeing half of the serious people?
Are you still being reasonable?
Is there any more royal method?
"I don't accept it!" Lu Jin shouted loudly. His life was at stake, and he didn't care about his manners and etiquette. After speaking, he rushed forward, wanting to go in and ask for an explanation.
Before the person could crawl out a few meters, he was being dragged out by two warriors.
Lu Jin's heart was filled with despair. The whole body was completely weak and allowed to be dragged by the samurai.
The raindrops that kept falling were like steel needles piercing my face and hitting my heart. Every stroke seemed to taunt him: Welcome to the new world.
In the house, Shen Hao, who had already stood up, looked out along the window pane with a dark and uncertain expression on his face.
