Shen Qing accepted the identity tag given to him by Ma Xing calmly, noticed the gazes around him, and just smiled slightly. Before leaving, he asked Ma Xing a question.
"Young Master Ma, you are the young master of the Ma family, so why do you want to go to the ruined temple in the east of the city and pretend to be a beggar?"
Ma Xing was silent for a while and replied: "The place where fish and dragons are mixed is the place where intelligence gathers. I must always pay attention to the movements of the Nangong family, right?"
Shen Qing said "Huh": "That's true, but..." He pointedly asked: "Is that just that?"
Moreover, if you really want to get any information in a ruined temple in such a mixed place, wouldn't you have to establish good relations with everyone first?
But there is something special about Ma Xing. Just now a beggar came to ask for money from him. With Ma Xing's faint words, the beggar immediately ran away.
But why does Ma Xing want to speak for him? It can be seen that on one hand, he can't stand the beggar's behavior. On the other hand, it can also be seen that everyone is a little afraid of Ma Xing. Even if they hate him secretly, they still can't stand it.
Don't dare to resist.
Ma Xing suddenly remained silent for a longer time. His expression was usually indifferent when nothing happened. After a while, he looked at Shen Qing.
"Do you know that the ruined temple in the east of the city was originally built by the Ma family. My grandmother was very interested in these gods and goddesses, so my father spent a lot of money to build this temple. But after the Ma family fell, the Nangong family
In order to humiliate us, they deliberately left this temple and did nothing but guide and guide us, making this temple a beggar's den."
Shen Qing really didn't expect it. He frowned for a moment, feeling even more dissatisfied with the Nangong family. He pursed his lips and stopped talking. After a while, he turned to look at the long steps in front of him, and then turned to Ma
Xing nodded and said, "Young Master Ma, take your leave."
Ma Xing nodded, walked aside and turned on the switch for him, and Shen Qing went up the long ladder again.
After he left, someone asked Ma Xing carefully: "Young master, who is he?" In more than ten years, Shen Qing was the first outsider to enter the Ma family, and he entered as an intruder. When he left, it was their young master.
The Lord Himself sent the person away politely.
Ma Xing looked at the closed exit, with a calm expression, but said: "He is now cooperating with our Ma family. If he comes again in the future, we will treat him well."
The latter's eyes widened in surprise, and he couldn't believe it. That person just now was actually a collaborator of their Ma family? He looked outside the long steps again, but he forgot that Shen Qing had already left, leaving only a dark figure.
The end.
Shen Qing didn't know there was such a thing inside. After he came out, he looked at the sky. He came out at noon. After staying outside for such a while, it was already close to dusk.
Shen Qing hurriedly walked back, passed through the ruined temple in the east of the city, and returned to the clothing store where he first stayed.
He quickly changed back into his original clothes, destroyed the clothes he was wearing at the same time, and then walked out.
People were coming and going in the clothing store, but no one noticed the sudden appearance of such a person.
Shen Qing picked again and bought some clothes for himself. He went out for a walk and bought a few middle-grade marrow-cleansing pills.
Although Shen Qing had indeed stayed in Nangong Mansion before, he had also inquired about some information that should be inquired about.
When you are in Nangong Mansion, you have to establish a good relationship with Butler Nangong for the time being. After all, as the steward of Nangong Mansion, that person must still have certain strength, and he has the trust of the head of the Nangong family, so he can play a certain role in Nangong Mansion.
He is no better than the young masters of Nangong Mansion. It doesn't matter whether those young men are on good terms with Shen Qing or not. After all, Shen Qing is just a capable person hired by Nangong Mansion. In the final analysis, he is working for Nangong Mansion.
But Butler Nangong is different. He also works for Nangong Mansion, and he also intends to make friends with him. It is much easier to get information from him.
Shen Qing bought these Marrow Cleansing Pills just to give them to Butler Nangong. He has a son, but his qualifications are not very good and he has never been able to reach a very high level. Although the Marrow Cleansing Pills cannot help much, they still have a certain effect.
, given as a gift, not light, but not too heavy either, just in line with Shen Qing's wishes at this time.
After Shen Qing prepared everything, he turned around and returned to Nangong Mansion. He had been out for most of the day, and it was already evening when he returned.
The housekeeper was sitting by the concierge, as if he was scolding the concierge. After hearing the noise, he turned around and saw Shen Qing arriving, and told the concierge to get out of his way. He stood up and walked out, and said to Shen Qing with a smile: "Master Shen, you are back.
ah."
Shen Qing's eyebrows were gentle, he smiled and said, "I went to buy some clothes. Is the housekeeper here?"
Butler Nangong waved his hand, looking helpless: "The person below did things poorly and almost missed a big event. I just taught him a lesson. It's over now and I'm about to go back."
Shen Qing was originally thinking about how to give the Marrow Cleansing Pill to Butler Nangong. When he heard that he was planning to go back, he smiled and said, "It just so happens that the Butler and I have similar journeys. Why don't we go back together?"
Of course, Butler Nangong would not refuse. He narrowed his eyes with a smile, nodded repeatedly, gave a few instructions to the people behind him, and walked towards Shen Qing.
As they walked, Butler Nangong said, "Young Master Shen is here for the first time in Nangong Mansion. How have you enjoyed your stay these days? If you have any inconveniences, please feel free to mention it to me."
The housekeeper has taken good care of him in the past few days. The accommodation and food are very good. He also specially gave him a maid to take care of his food and daily life. It can be said that he doesn't have to worry about it. Shen Qing smiled and nodded: "The house is very good.
Butler Lao took care of it."
As he said that, Shen Qing took out a small porcelain bottle from his waist, stuffed it into the butler's hand, and said with a smile: "I've troubled the butler to take care of it these days. These few marrow-cleansing pills are my small thoughts, and they are not respectful."
Shen Qing couldn't help but put the Marrow Cleansing Pill into the butler's hand. The butler held the Marrow Cleansing Pill and felt that it was a little hot in his hand. He was shocked for a moment and hurriedly said back: "How can this cost Master Shen money?"
After all, although a marrow cleansing pill is not particularly valuable, it is still of some value to him, a housekeeper, and to Shen Qing, a traveler.
Shen Qing smiled, not caring much, and said gently: "I heard that the housekeeper's son is trapped in a bottleneck now. Although these marrow-cleansing pills are not valuable, I think they can solve the current difficulties."
With persistence in Shen Qing's eyes, Butler Nangong's heart moved, and he accepted it naturally after resisting for a while.
Butler Nangong's face was filled with joy. His son was indeed in a critical period now, and the marrow cleansing pill given by Shen Qing could indeed help him solve his current difficulties. Thinking of this, his favorable impression of Shen Qing suddenly increased.
Butler Nangong had just received the family's benefits, and now he saw how nice Shen Qing was. Just as he was thinking about taking good care of him, he heard Shen Qing say softly: "Steward Nangong, I'm new to the house, and I don't understand it.
Regarding the rules, Butler Nangong might as well tell me about them, lest I break the rules of the house."
Hearing this, Butler Nangong waved his hands indifferently and said: "There are many people coming and going in the house, and there are no rules. As long as you don't offend the master of the house..." At this point, Butler Nangong suddenly thought
One move.
He said there were no rules, but there was a default rule. He paused and then said: "However, there is indeed a rule. You must know that there are many people patrolling the house."
Butler Nangong happened to mention something that Shen Qing wanted to know, and suddenly his mind moved. He nodded and listened carefully.
"There are many people patrolling the house, and I only vaguely know whether they are protecting the owner's treasure or something. Anyway, just don't get involved in Dongyuan." As he said this, Butler Nangong seemed uneasy and hurriedly
He emphasized, "You must never go to that place."
Shen Qing was a little confused, but he also knew that he could not ask any more questions, and even if he continued to ask, he might not get any answers.
He nodded and took the initiative to change the topic: "I heard that the Nangong family has a strong man in the Nether Realm?"
Shen Qing took the initiative to change the topic so that Butler Nangong wouldn't have to waste any time. He also appreciated that Shen Qing knew how to advance and retreat, and would never inquire about things that he shouldn't know.
Speaking of the Tongyou Realm, Butler Nangong smiled and gave him more information about this person. When he talked about this person, his eyes were full of admiration.
"Tongyoujing of Nangong Mansion is the eldest elder in the family and the eldest brother of the head of the family. We all call him the eldest elder. Although the eldest elder is indifferent, he is very powerful. Only matters within the family can affect him.
But let me tell you, if the Great Elder comes out of seclusion in the future, you must pay attention to etiquette. The Great Elder is indifferent and has a bit of a weird temper. He will lose his temper at every turn, but fortunately he has been a regular person in recent years.
Those who are in retreat want to break through the Netherworld and reach a higher level..."
Steward Nangong gave Shen Qing a very detailed introduction to the elder Shen Qing and also mentioned the taboos of the family head. He was very attentive.
Shen Qing also listened attentively and wrote down all this information in case it might be used one day in the future.
While talking, the two of them also came to a fork in the road. Butler Nangong's room was not in the same place as Shen Qing's. When the two arrived here, Shen Qing thanked Butler Nangong and separated from him.
Separating from Butler Nangong, Shen Qing walked back to the room very naturally. The maid had already prepared dinner. After Shen Qing finished eating, she fetched water for him to wash up. Shen Qing refused with a smile. The maid looked a little disappointed.
, but still retreated.
After Shen Qing finished washing herself, she turned off the lights and sat cross-legged on the bed.
There was a silhouette outside that hadn't left yet, so he wasn't in a hurry. After circulating the energy in his body for a cycle, he opened his eyes. The shadow outside disappeared at some point, and Shen Qing smiled slightly, with some light in his eyes.
