Master Qian went to Butler Zhou’s room not once or twice. Of course, this room did not refer to his home, but his office. Master Qian usually liked to take a few sips, and Butler Zhou also liked to take a few sips.
They met accidentally while drinking outside. Of course, Butler Zhou did it unintentionally, but Master Qian did it intentionally. Under Qian Yi's deliberate efforts to please, the two slowly became friends. Sometimes
After Mr. Qian finished the things at hand, he would come to see Butler Zhou for a drink. The two of them didn't drink much, just two small glasses, and that was all.
When Master Qian arrived outside Butler Zhou's room, he knocked gently on the door, and a strong voice came from inside: "Come in." Master Qian then opened the door and walked in. This was a very
A large room. There are two large bookshelves in the room, divided into left and right sides. In the innermost part of the room, there is a desk. There is a person sitting behind the desk. On this person's body, there is also a slightly smaller one.
On the bookshelf of this man, there is now a small wine bottle, a plate of side dishes, and a small wine glass on this person's desk. It is obvious that he has just been pouring himself a drink.
The man sitting there looks tall, in his fifties, with a red face and a big beard. He looks more like a warrior than a housekeeper. In fact, this is indeed the case. This man's name is Zhou Yingwu.
, is the newly acquired retainer of the county guard. In the past, he was just a soldier of the county guard and had been serving in the Blackwood Army. However, during a battle, this week Yingwu desperately saved the county guard's life. In order to thank him, the county guard
, so he retired and became a housekeeper in his mansion.
But because he was the new retainer of the county governor, he naturally touched the interests of some old retainers, so after he entered the governor's house, he also suffered some rejection, but fortunately, those people did not dare to go too far, and
Zhou Yingwu didn't care much about managing these things, so he was living very freely now.
When Zhou Yingwu saw that it was Mr. Qian who came in, he couldn't help but be startled, and then laughed loudly and said: "Old Qian, it's really great that you are here. It's not interesting for me to drink alone. Come on, come on
Come and have a drink with me." The two of them are considered drinking buddies, and there has never been any conflict of interest, so they get along very happily.
Master Qian was not polite and walked directly to the bookcase and sat down opposite Zhou Yingwu. Zhou Yingwu immediately took out a small wine glass from the cabinet under the bookcase behind him and gave it to Master Qian, then filled it up with Master Qian.
After drinking, he filled himself up with wine, raised his glass, clinked it with Master Qian's, and drank it all in one gulp.
Then Mr. Qian put down his wine glass and said to Zhou Yingwu: "Old Zhou, your life is quite relaxed now. Unlike me, I am so busy every day that I can't even come to you for a drink." Mr. Qian and Zhou Yingwu are friends.
We are old friends, so naturally we are not so polite when speaking.
When Zhou Yingwu heard what Mr. Qian said, he couldn't help laughing and said: "Isn't it right for you to be a little busier? Now that I've said it, I didn't see how busy you are. Don't you still have time to come to me for a drink? Like this
Well, let’s find a time every day for the two of us to have a good drink. The people in this house are really not interesting. If you want to find someone who can drink happily, you can’t find one.”
When Mr. Qian heard what he said, he couldn't help but smile slightly and said: "Okay, we will have a good drink when we have time, but today I came to you because I actually have something to ask for your help." At this point, he said
He stopped and looked at Zhou Yingwu. Zhou Yingwu was slightly startled when he heard what he said, but then he smiled and said, "Okay, tell me what's going on."
If Mr. Qian were an ordinary person, he might really be impressed by this Zhou Yingwu. There is nothing wrong with the fact that Zhou Yingwu likes drinking, but this person is also very thoughtful. If you just look at his appearance, you would think he is something.
The martial artist who doesn't understand either will be fooled by him.
However, Mr. Qian also pretended not to know, and then said: "That's what happened. Some time ago, a helper in the city brought one of his relatives to my place to apply for household registration. The other person was a samurai, and
He also bought a property in the city, and I took care of it, but when I asked him later, I found out that the property he bought in the city was actually Liuyunju. You must have heard about Liuyunju, right?
I kindly tried to persuade him at that time and told him about Liuyunju, but he still wanted to buy it and told me that he was good at dealing with ghosts. Of course I didn’t believe it, but good words can’t persuade him.
Hell, he decided on his own. Even if he died in the end, he would have nothing to do with me, so I did it for him. He invited me to drink that night. I thought it would be in vain if I didn’t drink, so I went
I had a good drink at that time, and then I went home, but the next day I heard that he had moved directly into Liuyunju."
Speaking of this, Mr. Qian paused, took a sip of wine, and continued: "I thought he was crazy and must be finished, but I never thought that one day later, he actually sent someone to invite me.
Liuyunju was drinking, and he told me that he had settled the matter in Liuyunju. Of course I didn’t believe it, so I took my son there. When we got to Liuyunju, the two of us went
While we were drinking, my son had just finished watching Liuyunju and was about to come for a drink.
Suddenly a helper came to see me and told him that a child had an accident and asked him to help. This child was the grandson of the old helper Lao Wutou who often worked for the government. He complained to me at that time.
I apologized and then left, but I didn't expect that he only spent less than two-quarters of an hour on this trip. When he came back, he said that the evil incident was solved. This really made me very happy.
Surprised, if this person is really good at dealing with ghosts, then do you think you can introduce him to the governor? People like him seem to be very rare in our Blackwood City now?"
Zhou Yingwu had been listening to Master Qian's words quietly. When Master Qian finished speaking, he looked at Master Qian with some confusion and said: "Old Qian, is this all you do? Just to introduce that person to the county governor.
So he came to me? What is his relationship with you? What benefits has he given you? I know your old boy, and you have made a lot of benefits over the years, right? Otherwise, your second boy will not be able to do it either.
Opportunity to learn martial arts.”
Mr. Qian immediately smiled and said: "Don't tell me, I really got some benefits. When I helped him apply for household registration on the first day, he gave me a gold coin. You should know this. Almost everyone
It can't be considered a benefit. When we were drinking that night, he gave me a good thing. It was a thorn from an unknown animal, which can be used to refine a long sword. As you know, my second son gave me a good thing.
The boy wanted the materials to make a long sword, so I accepted it. I already gave it to my second boy. Apart from this thing, I really didn’t accept anything. Besides, I only knew him for a few days, and now he
I used Liuyunju to open a martial arts gym, took in some helper children, and taught them martial arts. This person really has nothing to do with me. I just think that this person is also a talent. If he can really train him
Recommend it to the county governor. If he becomes really prosperous in the future, I can also take advantage of it." After saying that, he picked up the wine bottle on the table, got himself a glass of wine, and then drank the contents of the glass in one sip.
After drinking all the wine, he took a deep breath.
Although he seemed to be drinking, he had actually been paying attention to Zhou Yingwu's expression. Zhou Yingwu originally listened to his words calmly, but when he heard the last sentence, Zhou Yingwu's expression could not help but change slightly.
His eyes lit up slightly, but disappeared immediately.
Master Qian couldn't help but feel happy. He knew that his plan was successful. His last words seemed to be telling Zhou Yingwu why he wanted to help Zhao Hai, but in fact they were reminding Zhou Yingwu that Zhao Hai also had feelings for him.
To help, he wanted to recommend Zhao Hai to the county guard and get some benefits from it. Wouldn't it be beneficial to directly recommend Zhao Hai to Zhou Yingwu, the county guard? Zhou Yingwu didn't seem to care much about his current status, but
If he was given a chance to have a higher status, he would not object, and Zhao Hai is likely to be such an opportunity.
Zhou Yingwu put down his wine glass and said in a deep voice to Mr. Qian: "If this person really has such ability, then recommending him to the county governor is indeed very appropriate, and it is also good for me, but I have to make sure that he is really good.
Only if he has the ability, by the way, what is his name?" Master Qian has not said Zhao Hai's name until now, so of course Zhou Yingwu has to ask.
Mr. Qian quickly said: "Zhao Hai, his name is Zhao Hai. I think he must have some abilities. Otherwise, if he really dares to do this, he is looking for death. By the way, he also said that today
If you want Old Man Wu to take his little grandson to Liuyunju, I don’t think this is a lie, right?"
Zhou Yingwu said in a deep voice: "It's better to be careful. Let's go to Liuyunju now. I have to meet him in person, and then find an opportunity to test him. Only in this way,
Only then can I truly recommend it to the governor, otherwise, if something goes wrong, both of us will be in trouble."
Mr. Qian nodded and said: "Yes, that should be the case. I still think things are too simple. So, should we go to Liuyunju now? I think Old Man Wu will be very nervous about his little one."
Grandson, I might have sent the child to Liuyunju now."
Zhou Yingwu nodded, put away the wine glasses and jugs, and then said to Master Qian: "Let's go and have a look now. Liuyunju is in Beicheng, right? I asked them to prepare a carriage, the two of us
Let's go now." After saying that, he walked outside and shouted loudly as he walked outside: "Come here, prepare a carriage for me, I want to go out."
Zhou Yingwu is the third housekeeper anyway, and he still has the power to use the carriages in the house. Although his status in the house may not be as high as that of the first housekeeper and the second housekeeper, no one in the house dares to underestimate him.
Look, so a servant immediately responded and went to prepare a carriage for him.
