This is what Qin Gui, the concierge at Qin House, thought.
Every time someone comes to Qin's house and wants to see the head of the family, no matter what their status is or whether they have an official position, they are all very polite to him, a small servant of the Qin family, and do not dare to offend him in the slightest.
Over time, this made Qin Gui almost feel like he was also a big shot.
Therefore, whenever someone later sent a greeting note asking to see someone from the Qin family, some filial piety was indispensable. Otherwise, Qin Gui would not look good on him, and he might have put it aside for three or four days before informing him again.
maybe.
Of course, if some high-status people really came to visit, Qin Gui would still behave himself and behave like a loyal servant who worked hard and never complained.
He is extremely attentive to those young masters and ladies who come in and out frequently.
Not to mention, Qin Gui has really made many masters very satisfied with this. There are even rumors that he will be promoted to foreign affairs manager recently, and he can be released to take charge of business somewhere. After Qin Gui found out
, I feel more and more happy. I feel a little lighter when I walk these days.
Now, Uncle Qin Gui moved a long stool and was lying on it in the shade at the gate to escape the heat. Early this morning, the head of the family went out to discuss business, and several young masters and ladies also arrived with other young masters and buddies.
I went to visit the nearby Chongshan Temple. Apart from a few ladies, only the widowed surface lady is still in the mansion.
This also allowed him to breathe a sigh of relief and take a break for a while.
When Qin Gui was a little confused by the cool breeze, suddenly a timid voice of a young man came from in front of him.
"Excuse me. Is this Qin's house?"
The drowsiness that Qin Gui had just felt was shaken away by this sound. He felt so uncomfortable that he couldn't help but cursed with rising anger without even opening his eyes:
"What are you shouting for? You're crying in mourning! Didn't you see that your master just lay down?"
After saying this, Qin Guicai reluctantly opened his eyes and looked with an angry look on his face.
This was because he thought that the other party was a small role due to his cowardly voice, so he dared to treat him so recklessly.
Qin Gui finally saw clearly the person speaking in front of him. He was a man in coarse cloth who was about twenty-four or five years old. He had an ordinary and unremarkable appearance. He also had a rustic aura from the inside out. He was clearly a recent man.
The country bumpkin who came to the city from that country!
Seeing this, Qin Gui felt more confident.
He sat up and gave a good lecture without saying a word, as if disturbing his uncle Qin Gui's rest was committing a heinous crime and was unforgivable!
Qin Guizhi was frothing at this reprimand, which lasted for as long as a cup of tea. The rustic young man seemed to be confused by his uncle Qin, and he was speechless and at a loss.
With an expression on his face, he just listened stupidly to Qin Gui’s accusation!
After a long while, Qin Gui finally vented his evil fire and finally stopped his scolding.
Then he glanced sideways at the young man, seeming to remember the other person's initial question, and asked casually:
"What are you doing in our Qin Mansion? We have no shortage of servants and servants here, so we'd better leave as soon as possible! It's not that easy to be a servant in this house! We can't take in all the people with unknown origins, so we'd better find one first.
The guarantor will tell you later!"
Relying on his past experience, Qin Gui immediately concluded that this young man, whose earthy aura had not faded away, must have a whimsical desire to find a job in Qin's house. He had seen many such people!
"I'm not looking for a job... Qin Yan is my uncle. This is a letter my family asked me to send to Uncle Qin!" The young man seemed to have woken up from the stormy reprimand. After listening to Qin Gui's words,
, hurriedly took out a crumpled letter from his arms, and stuttered to explain to Qin Gui.
"What? I am your uncle!"
Qin Guizheng felt his mouth was dry, and when he wanted to pick up a nearby teapot and take a few sips, he was so frightened by the young man's words that he spurted the tea out of his mouth and asked in shock.
"This... I don't know either, but my family asked me to call Uncle Qin this way!" The young man scratched his head, with a somewhat embarrassed look on his face.
But this time, Qin Gui no longer dared to laugh at the other party easily. If this man really had any concerns with his master, he would not get any good results.
So after hesitating for a moment, he asked carefully:
"Can you please let me take a look at this letter? Please rest assured, I'm just looking at the envelope and will never dare to open it!"
After hearing what Qin Gui said, the young man unexpectedly nodded in agreement, and while handing him the letter, he muttered
"I originally wanted to give this letter to you so that you could help deliver it to Uncle Qin!"
Qin Gui took the really wrinkled letter and glanced at it quickly.
Although there are very few ordinary servants who can read and write, Qin Gui attended a private school for half a year when he was a child, and he can read and write. It is for this reason that the job of concierge, which is envied by countless servants, falls to him.
On his head.
"Qin Yanxian's nephew is here!"
These big black characters on the envelope made Qin Gui's heart beat wildly. He seemed to be the elder of his master.
Thinking of this, Qin Gui's face immediately changed, he tried his best to squeeze out a smile, and said to the young man:
"Sir, my master is not here, but the ladies are in the house. Do you want to forward this letter to the madam?" Qin Gui couldn't help but change his attitude, and even the title of his wife was immediately upgraded.
"This can't be done! Uncle Qin must open this letter with his own hands!" The young man hesitated, and finally shook his head resolutely.
"That's it. How about I report back to Madam first and see how she wants to reply to you?"
Qin Gui didn't dare to let the young man leave. If there was something important and he was delayed, he would be in serious trouble. But if he left it to his wife, it would be none of his business.
, Qin Gui has been a servant for such a long time. There is still room for this scheming.
This time the young man agreed wholeheartedly.
After Qin Gui breathed a sigh of relief, he hurriedly asked a passing family member to help him keep an eye on the young man for the time being. He ran towards the house.
The other servants I met were a little surprised to see him burning up his butts!
Qin Gui ran directly to the backyard, and after saying a few words to a big-footed maid who was looking at the yard, he returned to the gate with peace of mind and waited for a reply.
Qin Guigang, who returned to the door, laughed a few words with the young man, and a pretty little maid trotted over.
Walking up to the two of them, she looked at the rustic young man with interest, and then dictated a message from a certain lady. She asked the young man to go to a private room to rest first, and then come to determine his identity after the master came back.
True or false, after all, there are indeed many people in the Qin family. Maybe the elder from the side house really came to see him for something!
Now that the higher-ups have said something to deal with this matter, Qin Gui feels at ease and continues to guard his door.
The little maid took the young man to the side room where the guests were temporarily entertained.
On the way, many people saw the young man's rustic look and looked at him a few times in surprise. This seemed to make the young man feel uneasy. He simply lowered his head and followed the little maid just looking at the ground.
Walking in silence.
This made the little maid who looked back and saw such a strange young man couldn't help laughing. She looked at the man again with a smile and found him very interesting.
After placing the young man in a wing of the front house, the maid told the young man a few words not to run around, then went back to his life with a smile.
As soon as the little maid left the house, the clumsy young man suddenly straightened up, and the stupidity in his eyes suddenly disappeared. His whole person exuded a faint aura of freedom and ease, without any trace of it.
The rustic nature is there.
"I can't believe that the Qin family is so famous! It seems impossible for the demonic people to let go of such an obvious target." The young man looked in the direction outside the room, frowned slightly, and murmured to himself.
He was driving the weapon at full speed, and after more than ten days of hard work, he finally arrived at Bairan, the capital of Yuezhou, and Qin Zhai was the person Li Huayuan asked him to protect.
However, when Bai Ran thought of the identity assigned to him by Li Huayuan, he couldn't help but feel depressed.
In the letter, he actually asked the head of the Qin family to assign him the identity of a descendant of a branch of the Qin family, and asked Bai Ran to pretend to be a poor relative from the countryside. Only in this way could he stay as the head of the Qin family house unnoticed.
Although his identity as a poor boy from the countryside made Bai Ran a little uncomfortable, he had no trouble dressing up. After all, when Bai Ran was a child, he was a genuine farm boy from a remote village. How should he behave like him in terms of tone and behavior?
This made Bai Ran not have to think too hard.
After Bai Ran closed the door of the house, he meditated on the bed and practiced Qi, hoping to improve his cultivation a little while taking care of Qin's house.
Unknowingly, after a big cycle, it was already evening, and someone finally knocked on the door.
Bai Ran perked up, but then the look on his face completely faded away, and he immediately returned to the image of a rustic, silly boy.
After opening the door, a servant dressed as a servant stood outside.
"My master has returned home. Madam calls you over now. Come with me now!" The man said to Bai Ran unceremoniously, then turned around and left. It seemed that he didn't take Bai Ran seriously.
It's no wonder that this person is different from Qin Gui, who was guarding the concierge.
As a confidant of a certain Madam, he saw quite a few poor relatives of the Qin Mansion who came to Qin Mansion to enjoy the autumn breeze every year, so naturally he didn't take them seriously.
According to this person's opinion, most of the time the master will receive this country bumpkin for a while and send him back with some silver coins. He will not let him stay in the house for a while at all!
Bai Ran agreed honestly and followed this person out of the wing and went straight to the living room of Qin House.
At this time, in the living room, a graceful and elegant woman in her forties was mentioning Bai Ran's matter to Qin Yan, the head of the Qin family, who was sitting in the main seat.
"Since you dare to come to the door with faith, it's probably not false! It seems that some family elder has asked someone to come to the door."
"Let's see what the requirements are. If it's not too much, try to satisfy them! Don't let our family have a bad reputation of being disdainful of poor relatives."
Qin Yan is about fifty years old, but because he takes good care of himself, he looks like a man in his forties, without looking old at all. Now he took a sip of bird's nest tea, moistened his throat, and then calmed down.
