Mr. Ge seemed to say casually: "How many Daoyuan stones are ordered for you every month?"
Jiang Wang was born in a city Taoist monastery in an orthodox Taoist country, but he had not seen much of the life of a real low-level practitioner.
However, the dirty thoughts of human beings are not new at any level.
Jiang Wang looked up at him and said nothing.
Being called "master" from time to time makes me really think of myself as a master.
The old monk surnamed Ge stayed for a while, but when he saw that Jiang Wang still didn't talk to him, he looked unhappy and walked away.
When he spoke, he did not shy away from Shuanzi who was guarding the door. Shuanzi also nodded and bowed to his departure, as if he had long been accustomed to this kind of identity recognition.
Jiang Wang closed his eyes and sat quietly for a while, then Manager Hu trotted back.
Perhaps because he was too excited, he shouted "A'an" too fast, and the two sounds merged into one, and he shouted "A'an".
"I asked someone to make the bed for you. Would you like to go and have a look?"
Looking at his wrinkled face like old tree bark, Jiang Wang got goosebumps all over his body, and it took him a long time to calm down.
He responded: "Eh."
Naturally, the environment of the mine cannot be very good, but Hu's mine has prepared a small, single-family courtyard specifically for the practitioners stationed here.
As for why four practitioners have six small courtyards, those who understand will naturally understand.
As long as some crooked people from the Chongxuan family come to inspect, these six small courtyards will never be full.
The monks' food and accommodation are separated from the miners', and there is almost no interaction between them.
When I walked to the door of the small courtyard, I came face to face with an old man with droopy eyelids and unshaven beard.
"Master Xiang!" Manager Hu greeted.
The uncle who was called Mr. Xiang just raised his hand in response, and walked away without looking sideways.
Manager Hu had long been accustomed to his character, so he explained while pushing the door open: "That's just how Mr. Xiang is, and I don't have any objections to anyone. I'm just messing around."
Jiang Wang nodded.
The layout of the small courtyard is very ordinary, but it is pretty good in a place like a mine.
Because it had just been tidied up, it looked clean, transparent and bright.
Jiang Wang looked at it casually and expressed satisfaction.
On the other hand, Manager Hu said a little coyly: "A'an, He just arrived, and there are no maids in the courtyard. Well, before, I asked Mr. Zhang's maid to help him clean the yard. I can only recruit new maids for him when I return to town at the end of the month."
"
Manager Hu looked at Jiang Wang and seemed too embarrassed to open his mouth: "How about making do with the bolts these days?"
"Master Zhang" should be the third extraordinary monk in Hu's mine. Judging from Manager Hu's words, he should be a relatively easy-to-talk person.
As for the maid...
Jiang Wang silently glanced at the honest-looking Shuanzi.
Shuanzi also laughed enthusiastically.
"..."
Jiang Wang asked deliberately: "Why does Hu Guanshi have such a high position and be the head of Pavilion Hu, but he doesn't have a maid to serve him?"
"Can I transfer it to you?" Manager Hu said, leaning close to Jiang Wang's ear and adding in a low voice: "Old lady, I come to see you once a month. That guy's nails are dripping.
"
Jiang Wang then laughed: "Okay, okay, Hu Guanshi. I'm not that rich and don't need anyone to wait on me at all times. You guys, just prepare the meals on time."
Seeing that he was so easy to talk to, Manager Hu smiled so hard that his old face twisted together, no matter how he looked at it, he found him pleasing to the eye.
He still said in a very grand manner: "Wait until the end of the month, and I'll definitely pick someone smart and cute for you!"
At this moment, Master Ge's voice came from outside the door: "I heard that Zhang Hai's maid was asked to help with the cleaning of this courtyard. How can this be done? Isn't this a neglect of our little brother?"
He walked into the small courtyard with a smile on his face, followed by a woman who lowered her head and followed suit.
He looked at Jiang Wang with playful eyes: "I didn't have enough maids in the courtyard before, so I borrowed the ones here. Now that you are here, I will return them to you. You don't have any objections, do you?"
Without waiting for Jiang Wang to speak, he turned to Manager Hu and said, "If we recruit a new maid at the end of the month, it just so happens that the maids in my courtyard are tired of seeing her, so give me a new one."
Manager Hu agreed: "I understand, Mr. Ge."
Jiang Wang now understood the reason for Hu Guanshi's previous hesitation. It turned out that there was a maid in this courtyard, but a man named Ge had to go. She didn't dare to offend Mr. Ge, so she had to be vague.
He didn't have any objections to Manager Hu because of this, but he just felt that the old man named Ge was really petty and disgusting.
Jiang Wang didn't care whether he wanted to leave the maid in this courtyard or not. But Old Man Ge deliberately sent her to his door like this, making it clear that he wanted to disgust people.
However, Jiang Wang always remembered the purpose of his trip and would not expose himself before obtaining enough information.
So he just smiled and said: "Master Ge is old and needs service. I can completely understand. You can take this maid back with you. I am not a cripple and I have no problem taking care of myself."
The expression is gentle, soft yet prickly.
"You'd better stay." Mr. Ge said half-heartedly: "Spring and summer are coming together, so be careful about getting cold at night."
"That's not necessary." Jiang Wang subconsciously refused again, but stopped.
Because at this time, he saw the woman behind Mr. Ge and raised her head.
It's not that she looks so beautiful.
Instead, there was a hint of... silent pleading in her dark green eyes.
That kind of glimmer of pain and hope is really hard to extinguish.
No wonder she kept her head down because there were injuries on her face.
"Then stay." Jiang Wang changed his words.
"Did you hear that? Why don't you get over there?" Mr. Ge frowned.
The maid took two steps.
"I can't do anything well! I walk slowly!" Mr. Ge grabbed her and threw her at Jiang Wang.
Even if she was suddenly lifted up and thrown out as a weapon, the maid did not dare to scream loudly, but just closed her eyes tightly.
But she didn't feel the pain she expected. Only a soft energy enveloped her. She seemed to have fallen into cotton.
She opened her eyes and saw the face of a young man. In addition to the original elegance, there was a trace of perseverance that is rarely seen at this age.
Jiang Wang put her down casually.
Then he took a step forward and looked directly at Master Ge: "Ge, you are too presumptuous!"
Although he has other purposes for coming here, he cannot let others rub him around. Such forbearance will make it easier for others to suspect him.
"No, no, come on, Master Ge." Seeing the intensification of the situation, Manager Hu hurriedly came up to smooth things over: "Well, we got a new bottle of good tiger bone wine over there, why don't you come and taste it?"
Mr. Ge was just angry and came here deliberately to make Jiang Wang sick and show off his seniority, but he didn't really want to fight him to the death.
The older a person gets, the more he cherishes his life. If things get serious, the gains outweigh the losses for him.
Hearing this, he just snorted from his nose: "Let's go and try it."
Manager Hu was very smart, and while leading the way, he turned back to Jiang Wang and said, "You have to rest first, and I'll give you a jar later."
As they walked away, Manager Hu's flattering voice could still be heard faintly: "We are all monks, how can we argue about ordinary people like us? It's unnecessary, right?"
For a while, everyone in the courtyard was gone, and only Jiang Wang and the maid were left.
"What's your name?" Jiang Wang asked.
The maid bowed before replying: "My name is Xiaoxiao."
Her voice was a little childish, but slightly hoarse.
He is probably not very old, but he has suffered a lot.
"Okay, let's clean up the room."
Jiang Wang gave a casual order, turned around and walked towards the bedroom he chose.
After being unable to walk a few steps, he turned around again.
"I asked you to clean up your own room, what are you doing with me?"
Although Jiang Wang's voice was already very gentle, Xiaoxiao was still startled and didn't know where to put his hands. He was extremely frightened and at a loss.
Under her long and messy hair, there was a face that was still green. At this time, one eye was black and swollen, and the other eye was filled with panic tears.
Seems extremely pitiful.
Jiang Wang sighed inwardly, without showing it on his face, he just pointed to the wing on the left: "That's your room."
