C19 contending for favor

"Fei Yan. Are you okay? "

"Not yet."

"Has Zhuo Wan been here before?"

"Yes."

"She didn't do anything too excessive, did she?"

"Nope."

Fei Yan's carelessness made Zhuo Lei even more angry, as Zhuo Wan's little item formed a huge contrast with her magnanimity.

"Actually, everything about that girl is good. It's just that her heart is too narrow-minded, and she doesn't forget about this Falling Rain Small Tillage's courtyard. We are of the same bloodline, so we should guard our backs and help each other out. She has always been against you, and that's simply too much! "

"Fourth Brother. She's just a little girl. "

"It's still a little girl! She is your sister. She should help you, support you, and care more about you. Look at her, how does she look like an older sister? " The more Zhuo Lei spoke, the angrier he got.

"Actually, she just came over to ask me if I'm used to living here. Oh yes, Fourth Brother, aren't you very busy these few days? Why are you here when you have free time? "

Zhuo Lei smacked his forehead and exclaimed, "I almost forgot! Look at me, I'm so angry! Actually, I have to go to the kitchen this afternoon to gather the ingredients. I want to take you out for a stroll. You've been in the Prince's Mansion for quite a while, but you still haven't had the chance to properly go out and play around, have you? "

"Fourth Brother. "You are the Head Supervisor, do you have to personally take care of things like picking ingredients?"

"Yes." With a population of two hundred or so people, the palace consumes a large amount of ingredients every day. Most of the ingredients would be collected by the kitchen, but the ingredients of important figures and other valuable ingredients would have to be personally prepared by me. This way, we can ensure the safety and reliability of the ingredients, and secondly, we can also prevent the occurrence of cases where the servants have to work in secret so that the ingredients can be reduced and the silver can be deducted. "

"Fourth Brother, you sure worked hard as a manager." Fei Yan sighed.

"Heh, Fourth Brother only has this little bit of potential in his life, to be able to do whatever is necessary for the family, to serve all the uncles wholeheartedly, and to let the Zhuo Family's outstanding disciples go out and work hard for the whole world. Fourth Brother will take care of everything at home, so that they won't have to worry about the future anymore, actually, this is something with a sense of accomplishment."

"Fourth Brother. Have you never thought about leaving the Duke Palaces? "

"Leave?"

"Yes."

"Why are you leaving?"

"With your talent in Fourth Brother, even if you don't know martial arts, you would still have your own achievements when you go out and adventure. But if you stay in the Prince's Mansion, you will forever live under the shadow of those geniuses and experts. No matter how well you do, no one will see your achievements. "

"Silly girl, you have just entered the mansion, so there are some things that you naturally do not know. As a member of the Zhuo Family, as long as he could contribute to the prosperity of his family, what difference would it matter if others couldn't see? As long as I can stay in the House of Zhuo forever, I will be satisfied. "

"Fourth Brother. You are so pedantic. "

Fei Yan did not say the last sentence out loud.

She was a Transcender, so she really couldn't understand the attitude of a person like Zhuo Lei.

Even though the Zhuo Family was disdainful towards him, he was still satisfied when a dignified fourth young master, the second son of the Prince Zhuo's household, came out of the streets to gather ingredients and do some work to serve others.

Although she found it hard to understand, she did not want to criticize him.

Everyone has the right to choose their own way of life, as long as it doesn't hurt anyone.

The bustling prosperity in the capital far exceeded Fei Yan's imagination. The streets were bustling with activity. The traffic and prosperity of Golden Feather City far exceeded any other dynasty that Fei Yan was familiar with. I'm afraid this Golden Feather City is even more prosperous and lively than China's Tang Dynasty's Chang'an...

Zhuo Lei brought Fei Yan and two servants and walked along the streets and alleys. Zhuo Lei knew all the streets and all the shops as though they were his own. He even knew every shop's business well and every shop's names.

While purchasing ingredients, he explained to Fei Yan the interesting things and cultural customs in the capital, so that Fei Yan could quickly integrate into the life of a noble in the capital.

"Fourth Brother. What is that? " Fei Yan pointed to a lively shop. Although there was a sign on the shop, she could not read.

"That's the Huntong gambling den! The biggest gambling den in the capital! "

"Gambling?"

"Yes." "It's the favorite place for entertainment among the famous young masters in the capital."

"Fourth Brother, do you know how to bet money?"

"Hur hur. Earlier in the year, I would occasionally play a few games, but after being scolded by my father a few times, I don't play anymore. "

"Why don't we go in and take a look?"

Fei Yan, you're a girl. Entering such a chaotic place like the gambling den isn't a good idea. If daddy finds out ?" "Zhuo Lei talked for a long time before he saw that there was no trace of Fei Yan.

"Fei Yan."

Zhuo Lei called out, and quickly entered the gambling den.
