C28 On How Beggars Get Rich
What Housekeeper Wang saw was not a person, but a pile of silver waving at him. He slammed his hand on the table, "You then!"
Lin Jinan was very happy, this meant that he would see that man soon.
"Take him down, clean him up, and change into a clean set of clothes." Housekeeper Wang ordered with a ferocious look on his face. He was even scarier than a monster that eats children.
Facing Lin Jinan, it was another warm face, "You can't contradict the young master now. You can answer whatever he asks you, do you hear him?"
"…" Lin Jinan looked at the wrinkles on the butler's face, "Ok."
His voice was as clear as water in the mountains. His tone was calm, a voice that the young master liked. Housekeeper Wang burst into laughter the moment he saw Lin Jinan.
Lin Jinan had been washing for the whole morning and no longer had any odour on his body. His long hair was combed up, revealing his smooth and fair skin. His phoenix eyes were slightly raised, and a bit of redness could be seen on his eyes.
When the young maid at the side saw this, she exclaimed in surprise, "You are so fair. You are so beautiful."
After the shell was washed clean, it was so white that it reflected light, and it was so exquisite that one could almost not see the pores.
It was a confirmation of that saying. People relied on their clothes and horses relied on their saddles.
"Don't be nervous when you see the young master later." He personally led Lin Jinan to the western courtyard.
Lin Jinan was waiting outside. Looking at his toes, his heart was beating very fast. He was a bit nervous.
"Go in." Housekeeper Wang came out of the room and gave the young man a look.
Next, the young man had to rely on his own abilities.
Lin Jinan stepped into the room and smelled a delicate fragrance. It was very light and not boring at all.
There was a man sitting on a carved wooden chair. His slender fingers were holding a kettle and pouring it into a cup.
"Young Master." Lin Jinan bowed, then raised his head and openly showed it to the man.
"You're not afraid of me?" Li Xiuzhi lowered his head and took a sip of tea.
The new attendant had a beautiful face. The young man in front of him did not resemble the man in his dreams at all, yet he felt as though he had known him for a very long time.
"Why should I be afraid?" Lin Jinan boldly looked the man in the eye. As he walked closer, his face was revealed even more visually.
Li Xiuzhi and Shen Zhiyang looked exactly the same.
"The other servants are afraid of me, why aren't you afraid?" Li Xiuzhi looked at him with a hint of playfulness in his eyes.
The previous twelve people, including Thirteen, were all afraid of him the first time they saw him. However, the young man was different. Not only was he not afraid, he was even staring at his face.
"That's someone else, not me. Young Master is so good-looking, what's there to be afraid of? " What Lin Jinan said was the truth. Although there was always a depressed and irritable air around the man's brows, he wasn't afraid.
"You want me to keep you?" Li Xiuzhi put down the tea cup in his hand, stood up and walked in front of the young man.
"Yes." It was too close, this distance was too dangerous for Lin Jinan.
He took a few steps back. Li Xiuzhi could easily let him let go of his guard.
The young man was very reserved, and it was obvious that he was nervous. Li Xiuzhi suddenly laughed, "It's quite interesting. Let's stay."
"Thank you, Young Master." This was to be expected. Lin Jinan appeared to be very normal and his tone was quite calm.
"From today onwards, I'll call you Fifteen." Li Xiuzhi didn't ask for the youth's name, but just like the other people before, he casually gave them a name.
"Why not fourteen?" Logically speaking, he should be referring to this.
Lin Jinan looked at the man's face with a puzzled expression. He saw the young and handsome gongzi smiling slightly, and with a deep and beautiful cello like voice, he said, "Fifteen sounds better, and it's more auspicious."
"…" Lin Jinan had nothing to say. He was chased out of the room by a man, "Come to my room at the right time tomorrow morning to help me dress and wash up."
As he said that, his long yet well-defined hand mercilessly closed the door.
"…" Lin Jinan walked out of the yard dejectedly. He hadn't stayed long enough and after a few minutes of being together with Li Xiuzhi, he was chased out after just a few words.
Men were simply cruel, cruel, and cruel!
Lin Jinan had three consecutive qualities. He lived in a small house with the other servants. The room was a shared bed, and dozens of people slept on it like sardines in a can.
That night, Lin Jinan was tossing and turning in his pancakes, unable to fall asleep no matter how hard he tried.
The living conditions were many times better than in a run-down temple, but the living environment had become more difficult. His roommates had bad feet, and they would even grind their teeth and snore at night.
It went on and on, endlessly. He barely managed to fall asleep in the early hours of the morning.
When the rooster began to crow, he rubbed his eyes sleepily, put on his shoes and groped his way into the yard.
Lin Jinan kept yawning, the black circles in his eyes were very obvious on Ruyu's face, "Young Master, are you up yet?"
