In the night, Qiu Yu, who had changed his appearance, returned to the capital and stayed at an inn across the street from Prince Yun's residence. Now he seemed to be a down-and-out old bachelor named Yang Shun.
The inn is not big and the environment is bad, but the price is cheap, which is in line with Qiu Yu's current status. During the day, the innkeeper has a drink. Knowing his hobby, Qiu Yu went out to buy barbecue and old wine and invited the innkeeper.
Eat meat and drink wine together.
The shopkeeper, who is nearly sixty years old, is a person who loves to take advantage of others. He is naturally happy when someone treats him, and he enjoys the wine and meat without any ceremony. They quickly get to know each other, and after a few glasses of wine, the two of them are brothers, as if they have been friends for many years.
"Brother Liu, I want to find something to do. Can you help me?" Qiu Yu asked tentatively.
Shopkeeper Liu looked over with squinting eyes, thinking in his mind that I should take this opportunity to make more money from this guy. He asked with interest, "I wonder what I want to do?"
Qiu Yu sighed, "I don't have much ability, and I don't have much money. I just want to find a place with food and shelter to have enough to eat, such as being a guest in a big house."
Shopkeeper Liu's eyes flashed with a sly look, "If you're looking for a job, just ask me, brother. I'm not bragging. There are people I know in all the major mansions. I guarantee that you can get in. The current people, such as the official department,
Mr. Li Sanye, who is in charge of the affairs of the Minister's Mansion, and Brother Zhao, the foreman of Mr. Wu's family, are both familiar with me. As long as I pay an introduction fee, I will take care of your affairs."
It’s true that I have no business and I only want to make money at any time. It doesn’t matter, I have money, as long as I can get me into the palace! Qiu Yu tactfully expressed his thoughts, "Brother, I heard that Yun
The servants in the Wang Mansion are treated very well, do you have a way to send me there?"
"This..." Shopkeeper Liu rolled his eyes and said with a troubled expression: "I can find a way to send you in, but it's more difficult. Many people want to work there, and the introduction fee is not a small amount.
It requires at least 1,500 copper coins, I wonder if I am willing?"
Qiu Yu pretended to feel pain and said: "Do you need so much money?"
"Of course..."
Later, Shopkeeper Liu made some lies, saying how about working in Prince Yun's mansion, having good food, living well, and earning 800 copper coins per month. Qiu Yu pretended to be excited, nodded in agreement, and paid in advance.
Pay the other person a reward.
It can be seen that shopkeeper Liu also works part-time as an agency. Although he has a dark heart, his work efficiency is not bad. Two days later, a middle-aged man dressed as a servant came to the inn, collected the five hundred copper coins given by shopkeeper Liu, and led Qiu Yu
Gone.
This servant was fair-skinned and short in stature. Although he looked like a servant, he was very arrogant and arrogant in front of Qiu Yu.
The two of them were walking on the street. Qiu Yu asked with a smile, "What's your surname, brother?"
The other party snorted and scolded disdainfully: "Come on, who cares about calling me brother? I am the official servant of the majestic Prince Yun's Mansion. Who do you think you are? You are just a servant who helps in the kitchen."
Unexpectedly, a servant was so awesome, as if he was the top scholar in a new subject, which made Qiu Yu very angry. He really wanted to punch him in the face until his face was bleeding. However, when he thought of Ji Yun's situation, he felt that he couldn't bear it.
Zeluan Damou held back and said with a smile: "I can't speak either. Don't take it off. Please take good care of me in the future. I have always treasured these two gold coins. Now I give them to you as a filial piety."
Already."
Seeing the two gold coins handed over by Qiu Yu, the guy immediately smiled and took them in his hands without politeness. After knowing that they were genuine, his attitude immediately changed, "Are you quite sensible? My surname is Sun."
, I will protect you from now on."
"It's time for you, Brother Sun."
This Sun Jia Ding is a guy who loves money. After collecting two gold coins, he felt that the other party was much more pleasing to his eye. He specifically explained the things to pay attention to when entering the palace. He was completely different from before.
Prince Yun's residence was extremely grand. There were more than a dozen soldiers wearing armor and holding swords and guns guarding the gate. Servants were not allowed to go in and out alone. Sun Jiading led Qiu Yu into the courtyard from the back door, went to the kitchen, and handed over
He was managed by a chef named Wei.
The kitchen of the palace is also very large, with a separate courtyard, where dozens of people perform their own duties, and the newcomer Qiu Yu is the lowest status handyman. In other words, anyone can order him around, and he has started his career as a servant.
"The new one, Yang Shun, come over here and chop wood."
"Yang Shun, clean all those trays, hurry up..."
Qiu Yu had a purpose and deliberately established a good relationship with everyone. He did all kinds of work quickly and worked hard without any complaints, making everyone think that this guy was quite capable.
Lunch started, and Qiu Yu mingled with a group of servants, holding a tray of wine and meat in his hand, and walked along the stone road to the front yard.
More than a dozen people filed in and hurriedly arrived at the front yard dining room. The white-bearded Butler Zhao was already waiting here, instructing the servants to work. The old man had a good memory. Seeing Qiu Yu's unfamiliar face, he immediately asked
: "New here?"
Before Qiu Yu could respond, Lao Tian, the leader in front, said: "Butler Zhao, your old eyes are really poisonous. His name is Yang Shun and he just came here in the morning."
Butler Zhao glanced at Qiu Yu's face with a cold gaze and said solemnly: "It's too ugly. When you arrive at our palace, you must abide by the rules. Your hands and feet must be clean. You are not allowed to be lazy. Do you understand?"
Qiu Yu nodded quickly, "I understand."
A group of servants left the dining room and walked back. When passing by the rockery, suddenly, a leopard pounced ferociously from the darkness, attacked Qiu Yu, opened its mouth, exposed its white teeth, and bit him on the leg, which frightened him.
He jumped, hurriedly ducked to the side, and shouted, "Get away..."
This leopard is about the size of a dog, and its fur is silvery and as smooth as satin. The strange thing is that it has vermilion agate-like horns on its head, and its two green eyes are shining faintly, making it very beautiful.
The female leopard's name is Yinlunmon, which is a second-level monster. It is just a cub. When it reaches adulthood, it will be bigger than a horse. When Qiu Yu called it, it was stunned, stopped and looked over.
Not far away, the girl's angry voice came, "Which dog slave is so brave and dares to tell my lady's pet to get away? You are so impatient, right?"
Hearing this, fear flashed in the eyes of a group of servants, and they hurriedly stepped back and hid far away. They looked at Qiu Yu with gloating eyes, as if to say, you are going to be unlucky!
Qiu Yu is good at observing other people's reactions. Seeing people like this, he felt awe-inspiring in his heart, "Oh no, it seems that the other party is definitely not a kind person. I'm in trouble!"
A pretty figure curled up, but she was a pretty girl. Her graceful body was covered with an aqua skirt, her face was cold, and her almond-shaped eyes were powerful. She looked at the ugly servant with disgust, and cursed angrily.
