Chapter 4 Sir, I want to find a job
Soon after, the housekeeper hurried out of the door and personally took Ding Xiu to the backyard study.

"Ding Xiu, I have met Mr. Lu!"

Lu Hanzhong ordered the housekeeper: "Go out and close the door. No one is allowed in without my order."

"Yes!"

The housekeeper walked out and closed the door tightly.

He knew very well that the things usually discussed in the study were not trivial matters.

As soon as the door closed, Lu Hanzhong walked quickly to Ding Xiu, looking furious: "Isn't the man named Lu dead? You still dare to come?"

Ding Xiu smiled: "Why don't you dare? We still have many brothers in the capital."

Upon hearing this, the muscles on Lu Hanzhong's face couldn't help but tremble.

At first, Lu Wenzhao had taken advantage of him, so he had no choice but to take refuge secretly, becoming a hidden chess piece in Lu Wenzhao's hands.

I thought that with Lu Wenzhao's death, everything that had happened before would be over, but unexpectedly someone came to the door with a token.

"Now that King Xin has ascended the throne, your goal has been achieved, what else do you want to do?"

Ding Xiu smiled: "My lord, please do not misunderstand me. I came here today just to find a job for you."

"Looking for a job?"

"Yes, it's just a small thought, please accept it."

Ding Xiu was also a sensible person, and coercion plus inducement was the best strategy, so he took out a 500-tael silver note from his pocket and handed it over.

"What are you doing?"

Lu Hanzhong looked upright and solemn, but he took the banknote with one hand and quickly put it into his arms.

"I'm only bothering you this once. I hope you'll be accommodating."

"Forget it, tell me first what kind of job you want to do?"

"I want to join the Jinyiwei. I don't want to be a member of the Hundred Households. I can just become a general bannerman."

Lu Hanzhong immediately shook his head: "Impossible! It's no problem to enter the Jinyiwei, but the position of the general flag is not so easy to fit in. There are many people watching."

"That's okay, Xiaoqi?"

Lu Hanzhong thought for a while: "In this way, you will first serve as a seventh-grade capital under me, and then I will find a way to transfer you to the Jinyi Guard."

Ding Xiu looked happy: "Hahaha, Master Lu is really happy!"

Lu Hanzhong said with a dark face: "I will help you this time. If you have any problems in the future, don't come to me again."

"Don't worry, as long as you keep your word, I will never trouble you again."

There was someone in the court who was easy to do, and within two days, Ding Xiu transformed into a military attache and became the seventh-rank commander of the Zuo Army Governor's Mansion.

After two days of getting familiar with the environment, Ding Xiu began to let himself go and wander around.

Anyway, everyone knew that he was a related household, and no one forced him to be on duty.

In the afternoon of this day, Ding Xiu came to the door of a small courtyard after some inquiries.A wooden plaque hangs on the gate: Bailu Medical Center.

"It's here."

Ding Xiu nodded with satisfaction and walked in.

There was a scent of medicine floating in the yard, and there were many medicine shelves and jars placed around it. A girl with long braids was sitting in the yard making medicine.

She is Zhang Yan, the only daughter of Dr. Zhang.

"Is Mr. Zhang at home?"

As soon as someone came to the door, Zhang Yan quickly stood up and came forward: "Master, my father went out to see a doctor and hasn't come home yet. How about... you sit down and wait for a while?"

Ding Xiu smiled: "That's fine!"

"I'll make you a cup of tea."

Zhang Yan skipped towards the house.

Looking at her back, Ding Xiu couldn't help but smile knowingly, such a simple girl.

Soon after, Zhang Yan came out with tea: "Sir, please have tea."

"Thank you, girl. By the way, Ding Xiu, haven't you asked the girl for her name?"

Zhang Yan smiled calmly and generously: "It turns out to be Young Master Ding. My name is Zhang Yan."

Ding Xiu crossed his fists and said, "It turns out to be Miss Zhang Yan. Nice to meet you!"

Zhang Yan also hugged her fists playfully: "Nice to meet you!"

After chatting for a while, Zhang Yan couldn't help but ask: "I think the young master looks pretty good. Is there something wrong with you?"

"Cough cough cough..." Ding Xiu pretended to cough a few times: "I don't know why, but I've been coughing a lot lately." Zhang Yan rolled her eyes, stood up and said, "Wait a moment."

After saying that, he quickly ran into the room, and soon came over with a sachet: "Here you go."

"This is……"

Zhang Yan replied: "There are cloves, musk, sandalwood, and borneol in it. Bring it with you to cure your cough."

"Oh? Great...how much is it?"

"No money, I'll give it to you..." Then, Zhang Yan leaned over again and whispered: "But please don't tell my father, otherwise he will scold me for using folk remedies indiscriminately."

"Thank you, girl. Why don't you stop seeing a doctor today and try this sachet of yours?"

Zhang Yan nodded: "Well, then..."

"Come back in a few days. The tea made by the girl is... very moist."

Zhang Yan smiled shyly: "Master, if you like it, you can come here more often in the future..."

"Don't worry, it will definitely come."

In the evening, Ding Xiu came to a brightly lit place: Nuanxiang Pavilion.

As soon as you hear the name, you know that this is a gentle place.

However, Nuanxiang Pavilion is different from other brothels. It belongs to the property of Jiaofangsi, and most of the girls inside are the family members of prisoners.

The girls in Jiaofangsi are all Leji, that is, official prostitutes.

"Hey, Young Master is alone? Come in quickly..."

When he walked to the front hall, Ding Xiu looked up at a long wooden sign, but did not find Zhou Miaotong's name.

Today, he made a special trip to Zhou Miaotong, one of the top names in Nuanxiang Pavilion.

"Aunt Xue, why is there no Miss Miaotong here?"

Aunt Xue is the aunt in charge of Nuanxiang Pavilion. Her main responsibilities are to greet guests and manage the girls.

"Master, I'm really sorry. Miao Tong just received a letter yesterday, so it's not convenient to receive guests. In fact, Miss Hanyu is also very good..."

Ding Xiu felt regretful: "What a pity!"

After saying that, he subconsciously glanced at Aunt Xue sideways.

He suddenly discovered that Aunt Xue was actually pretty good-looking, around thirty, like a ripe peach, with a mature aura all over her body.

So with a thought in his heart, he found an excuse to call Aunt Xue into an empty room.

"Aunt Xue, how about..." As he spoke, a hand reached behind Aunt Xue.

"Ah..." Aunt Xue exclaimed, subconsciously took a step away, bit her lip and said, "Young master, it can't be done."

Ding Xiu kept his composure, took out a piece of silver and handed it over.

"Sir, it really can't be done!"

Ding Xiu took out another ingot.

"Sir, I am the aunt in charge here, not a girl..."

Ding Xiu took out another ingot.

"Master, why is this necessary? We have many beautiful girls in Nuanxiang Pavilion..."

Ding Xiu said nothing and took out another ingot.

"Sir, this..."

Another tablet.

Aunt Xue swallowed hard: "No...but the young master wants...to hurry up..."

An hour later.

Ding Xiu felt refreshed and went downstairs whistling.

In the room, Aunt Xue raised her hand to tidy up her messy hair and clothes, then bent down and rubbed her knees, then cautiously walked to the door and took a look.

no one!

So he left in a hurry.

After walking to the end of the corridor, he glanced downstairs and muttered: "What an enemy."
