C41 Leave

After Luo Mannmann had finished packing, she took out the Xuan paper and brush she had bought today and began to grind them. When she held the brush in her hand, she felt as if there were thousands of words stuck in her heart, unable to speak.

With a lowered head, she began writing a beautiful handwriting on the paper with her lily-white hands.

"Yiming, when you saw this letter, I had already left.

Don't come looking for me. I don't want to make things difficult for you, much less cause you and your mother to be at odds because of me.

Thank you for your kindness. Without you, perhaps I would have died long ago.

This banknote is what I got from selling the recipe, if I leave it to you, even if I have to repay your kindness, my house will be old, it will leak rain on rainy days, and I think this money is enough to buy land to build a house and marry a wife.

Goodbye to my benefactor, I wish you happiness!

"Don't think about it, Mannmannliu."

When he finished writing the last few lines, he felt as if someone had drained all of his energy. There were a few tears that dripped onto the white paper, evenly covering it with a layer of water, as if telling him that she was reluctant to part with it.

When it was time for Luo Mannmann to part, she discovered that she was reluctant to part with him. Could it be that she had fallen for Xiao Yiming? This … Not likely...

Everyone had feelings for each other, let alone a man who cared for her from day to night.

It was gratitude, not affection. Yes, that was it. Luo Mannmann tried her best to convince herself that she could use the inkstone to hold down the silver note and the piece of paper.

Luo Mannmann opened the window slightly. The night sky was dark and it was probably not even the third day yet. She sighed and turned around, only to find that her face was covered in tears.

In the candlelight shining into the room, the grey light wasn't too bright. She lightly paced in front of the pit, her hand touching Xiao Yiming's smooth and slender face. He closed his eyes and slept sweetly.

"Yiming, you have to take good care of yourself. Goodbye."

Luo Mannmann held back the sorrowful feeling in her heart and went to the main hall to find a lantern. The lantern's Xiao Family was rarely used and was rather dirty. Fortunately, it did not affect its use.

Picking up the package, he looked at Xiao Yiming one last time, bit his lips and blew out the candle, lightly covered the wooden door, then left the Xiao Family.

Outside the courtyard, the night wind blew gently. The early morning breeze was a bit chilly, and the paths in the fields were cold and lonely. In the distance, there were layers of dark mountains.

Occasionally, he would hear a dog barking in the village. In this quiet night, not even a shadow could be heard. Walking on the small path alone, he felt a bit of panic.

The faint candlelight from the lantern illuminated the dim road ahead.

There was no transportation, just walking on two legs. After two hours, the crops could no longer be seen behind him. In the distant horizon, the sky had begun to turn white.

Luo Mannmann estimated that the amount of medicine was enough for him to sleep until seven in the morning. It wasn't until his feet felt as heavy as a pot of lead that the sky became completely bright.

In the early morning, the sun had already risen in the east. It was already bright red, and it dyed Luo Mannmann's back into a faint red halo.

The morning air was cool and fresh, and not far away, the outline of the Stone Dragon Town was gradually becoming clearer. There were two rows of trees by the side of the road, their branches and leaves luxuriant, standing tall and straight in the cold and thin morning.

Luo Mannmann stepped on the mist and followed a small path to the Stone Dragon Town.

In the cold and clear town, people began to gather. On the streets paved with limestone, hawkers began to sell breakfast and vegetables.

Luo Mannmann pushed the bag over her shoulder and looked up. Most of the people on the street were women who were carrying baskets of vegetables.

The hawkers selling breakfast on the street shouted with all their might, "Soybean milk and youtiao, fresh soy milk, would you like a cup for me?"

The hawker said to the confused Luo Mannmann, who was dressed in blue.

This soy milk looked sweet and delicious. Luo Mannmann pursed her lips that were dry and thirsty, "Boss, give me a cup, pack it and take it away."

"Alright, young lady. Here is the money for the soya-bean milk."

"I sold the steamed buns. It was a waste of money. Three coins for one, and two for five coins. It's bad for the money if it's bad for the taste." "Young lady, do you want two? They're just made and very tasty."

The peddler saw Luo Mannmann glance at the stall and greeted her enthusiastically.

"Give me two." Luo Mannmann swiftly handed him the prepared copper plate.

After walking for so long, she was finally a little hungry. She opened her mouth and took a bite of the steamed bun. Oil dripped from the corner of her mouth and her heart ached. She instantly thought of the shy and handsome man with the smile on his face.

Don't think about it. Now that she was finally free to live the life she loved, she should be happy.

The Stone Dragon Town was still considered big. Luo Mannmann walked a few streets and finally arrived at the entrance of the town. This entrance was in the direction of the Wu Town next door.

There were really a lot of people coming out of town this time, so there was a long line.

When it was Luo Mannmann's turn, the guard casually sized her up, who was dressed in coarse clothes, and asked as per usual, "This lady here, why are you going to Wu Town?"

Luo Mannmann calmly replied, "Reporting to big brother guard, this little girl will go and visit her family through Wu Town."

"Alright, let's go."

"Thank you, big brother guard."

Luo Mannmann turned her head to look at Stone Dragon Town, retracting the nostalgia in her eyes, and muttered goodbye, Xiao Yiming.

The Wu Town was much more flourishing than the Stone Dragon Town. Both sides of the street were filled with antique shops, while the people on the street were bustling with activity and bustling with noise and excitement.

When she heard that her Wu Town was twice as big, it naturally became even more lively and bustling. When she passed by the main street, Luo Mannmann noticed that there was a luxurious mansion that was lined up in a long line, and the crowded and noisy crowd caused Luo Mannmann to be curious.

"Big Sis, may I ask what happened here?" There are so many people at the entrance of this mansion, are they trying to recruit Maidservant? " Luo Mannmann asked as she pulled on a big sister who was talking animatedly with the others.

Looking at how radiant her elder sister's words were, it was obvious that she was a warm-hearted person. Asking her this question was definitely correct.

"Miss, you must be from a foreign land. What do you mean by recruiting Maidservant? Are you recruiting a building designer?" The corners of elder sister's mouth twitched with a mysterious expression.

"What the hell is a building master? Tell me, sister?" The others also asked curiously.

"Ha, you guys should not be aware of this, right? This Mo Residence is a distant relative of the Prefect's.

Didn't they just moved to a place like Wu Town, where they were unsatisfied with the original residence and wanted to renovate it?

"Big Sis, your understanding is quite comprehensive. Seeing how luxurious this mansion is, the treatment must be pretty good, right? Otherwise, why would everyone squeeze their brains out like this?" Luo Mannmann asked.

"Oh, so that's the case. People who build houses know how many people there are. No wonder there are so many people. How long will it take for them to line up?" Some people were discussing amongst themselves.

"These big brother and little girls, they are all distant relatives of the Prefect. They are all noble family members who are related to family and friends."

They lived in a mansion with a lot of requirements. Ordinary architects would definitely look down on them and not know who would be lucky enough to be chosen.

"I heard that the reward is extremely high, and that during the reconstruction of the mansion, they will be provided with food and accommodation, with generous treatment."

Luo Mannmann listened to all these discussions. She had it, and was grinning brilliantly. Wonderful! She was just worrying about finding a place to settle down. Wasn't this the opportunity she was looking for?

In terms of architecture, who could compare to someone like her, who came from a professional background?

Luo Mannmann stood outside in the sun for so long that her legs were about to go soft. Finally, it was her turn to enter the mansion for the interview.

There were at least a hundred people who came to apply. Luo Mannmann felt dizzy looking at the densely packed heads. Wasn't it just a construction design job? Was this really necessary? The scene was as intense as a graduate looking for a job.

However, the steward's question was really tricky. "What kind of soil, brick, and various famous buildings? What's more, you have to know how to draw poems."

The last topic that caused people to clench their teeth and scream was that the butler had given everyone a blueprint of the most comfortable and luxurious mansion in their hearts.

"Butler, I, I don't know how to draw." Someone shouted in an honest tone.

"Butler, um, I don't really know how to compose poems." Someone's face was red as he whispered.

"No, then next, next." The steward's loud voice was like a loudspeaker. This selection was too abnormal. He even wanted to go against it by reciting poems.

According to the housekeeper, after the mansion was renovated, it needed to be matched with a couplet and the corresponding name of the building.

The moment this rule came out, many big and coarse architects were knocked down, and those who shook their heads and sighed were silently eliminated.

Wasn't this what Luo Mannmann was good at? Just a simple ancient poem was enough to cause them to praise him repeatedly, and the butler was full of praise as well.

After this round, there were only a few people left.

The steward looked at the dozen men and nodded with satisfaction. They were all elites.

"Alright, if I let you guys reform the Mo Residence, how would you guys design it? I'll give you guys an hour to draw out the blueprint in your hearts. Whoever constructs this diagram to the satisfaction of the Mo Residence will be the final candidate. "

As soon as these words were spoken, the dozen or so people present began to rub their palms together, each of them having a certain level of confidence.

As soon as the butler finished speaking, he immediately had the servants bring over ten tables and chairs for the final round of selection.

Even at the final stage of the selection, the number of spectators at the door still did not decrease. They were thinking about what kind of great honor it would be for that fortunate person to be able to enter the Mo Residence.

Just as the crowd was looking forward to the match, the shopkeeper called out, "The match begins!" The remaining candidates immediately went to their respective seats.

Luo Mannmann spread out the paper, dipped the brush into the ink, and began to recall the ancient buildings of the modern era. What palaces?

With a flick of his mind, he began to reconstruct the residence in his mind. The brush and ink quickly flew across the xuan paper. With a few swoosh swoosh sounds, it gave off a majestic feeling.

Luo Mannmann's magnanimous and earnest manner made the butler treat her differently. He looked at the drawing more than once as he passed by her table. It was not bad. It was extravagant, but it was a little unusual. I wonder if young master would like it?

The butler paced back and forth on the field and carefully examined everyone's design. One of the designs he liked the most was the grey-robed Young Master in the middle of the field.
