New and dark light years

Chapter 46: Chasing the Door

The two male servants seemed to want to come up and separate the two sides, but when they recognized Li Lin, they retreated to the side.

After all, Li Lin had been to the Huang Mansion at least three times, and most people there already recognized him.

"Thank you for your courtesy, Brother Li Shi." Huang Qing bowed slightly, a blush on his face.

He was even a little nervous, and his voice was trembling slightly.

Next to Huang Qing was not her sister, but a girl dressed as a maid, who looked to be about sixteen or seventeen years old, and was looking at Li Lin curiously.

Li Lin smiled and said, "Please sit down."

"Thank you, Brother Shi." Huang Qing sat down as he was told, but still kept his head down, not daring to look at the man opposite him.

The maid glanced at Li Lin boldly, but after looking for a while, her face turned red.

"Do you like to go out for an outing?" Li Lin asked to find a topic.

"No, I seldom go out before." Huang Qing glanced at Li Lin, then quickly lowered his head: "It's just that today is a rare good day, so I went out for a walk, but then I thought..."

But I didn't expect it to rain.

"So what do you like to do at home?"

“Embroidery and reading!”

"The Four Books and Five Classics?"

"No...it's a storybook!"

Speaking of this, Huang Qing felt even more embarrassed.

After all, things like vernacular novels were actually quite criticized by scholars in the Great Qi Dynasty.

The so-called storybook is actually a novel.

Li Lin smiled and said, "I also like to read storybooks. I remember reading a storybook about strange things before. It tells the story of how a mortal gradually succeeded in cultivating immortality!"

Huang Qing looked up, eyes widened, and asked, "Is it exciting?"

"It's quite interesting." Li Lin nodded. "After watching it, I thought I could cultivate immortality, so I randomly learned a mental method that wasn't really a mental method, thinking I could fly. Then I jumped off the wall, but ended up twisting my leg and had to stay in bed for half a month."

Huang Qing burst into laughter, and the girl next to her laughed even louder.

As for the two male servants, they were also trying to hold back their laughter.

Huang Qing then realized he had been a bit rude and immediately suppressed his laughter, then asked, "Besides this, are there any other unusual storybooks?"

"There are many. The one that left a deep impression on me was the one about the monkey that popped out of the Heaven-Repairing Stone of the Goddess Nv Huo..."

Li Lin combined the stories he had read, science fiction, and fairy tales to tell a very tortuous and bizarre story.

In fact, it was just the beginning, but it made the four people in the pavilion stunned.

The rainstorm comes and goes quickly.

"The black mermaid, equipped with a pair of wind and thunder prosthetic limbs, flew out of the sea and headed to Mount Hua to find Yang Erlang, intending to rescue Wukong, who was trapped under the Five Finger Mountain. However, Yang Erlang didn't recognize her and mistook her for a catfish spirit. He minced her with his halberd and used the minced meat to make soup. He then fed the scraps to the Sky Howling Dog."

Ah!
Huang Qing opened his eyes wide, his face full of disbelief.

The main reason was that Li Lin’s story was too out of the ordinary, filled with plots and concepts that she had never heard of or even could not understand.

Li Lin looked up at the sky and said with a smile, "The rain has stopped, and it's getting late. It's time for you to go home, Huang Damei."

"Ah...oh!" Huang Qing stood up and said with a blushing face, "Brother Li isn't coming to my house as a guest? I'm sure my eldest brother is also waiting for Brother Li to come and talk about love and romance with him and give him advice on state affairs."

"Maybe in two days." Li Lin said with a smile.

Huang Qing bit her plump red lips lightly and said, "Then I will be waiting for your visit, brother."

After saying this, she left quickly with her maid, as if she was fleeing in panic.

The two male servants also followed.

Li Lin looked at the center of the lake in the distance. Ever since the rain, a sense of resentment had been rising from the center of the lake, becoming increasingly stronger, as if something was about to jump out of the lake.

But now that the rain has stopped, the resentment has gradually subsided.

"It's really weird everywhere."

Li Lin shook his head helplessly, then slowly left the pavilion.

He returned to his newly bought house, which was bustling with activity.

A group of people were coming in and out, carrying furniture and other things inside.

"Be careful, these things are expensive."

The broker was giving orders and shouting loudly.

He turned around and saw Li Lin, and hurried over: "Master, you're back." Li Lin nodded: "How's it going?"

"Don't worry, sir. I can get it done for you before dark." Then the broker called out to the side, "Aunt, and the other four of you come here."

Not long after, an old man and four dark and thin women came over. They looked underage.

"Master, they are the servants I bought for you. Their contracts and the property deeds are placed in a black sandalwood box in the study..."

"That's thoughtful." Li Lin said with a smile.

The broker bent down and said, "As long as you are satisfied, sir."

The five 'house servants' looked at Li Lin timidly.

There was no way around it. As servants, the power of life and death was in Li Lin's hands. The character of their master determined the quality of their future lives.

"Have you all eaten?" Li Lin asked.

The five people didn't dare to answer, and the broker said, "Probably not. They all just came from the brokerage."

The dentist knows where he is and what the environment is like.

Li Lin took out a silver note from his bundle and handed it to the old man. "While it's still light, go to the market and buy some food. Then cook for six people. Do you understand?"

The old man nodded and took the banknote.

"By the way, what are your names?"

"Old slave Zhang Afu."

"My servant Xiaoqing."

"The servant Lotus."

"My servant Xiao Yuque."

"My servant Xing'er."

Li Lin looked at the five people and wrote down their names.

Then he walked into the yard and began to inspect his new home.

It has to be said that under the monetary offensive, the efficiency of the pawnshop was very high. All the rooms were furnished, and even the bedrooms had clean bedding.

Although they are not high-end, they are practical and the decoration style is mainly stable.

It can be seen that these people's service attitude is really thoughtful.

In the study, Li Lin also saw the sandalwood box. After opening it, he found the house deed and the indenture contract inside.

Li Lin was very satisfied with this and took out a small silver note and put it in the broker's hand: "You did a good job, so I will reward you more."

The broker took the banknote and smiled from ear to ear: "Thank you very much, sir. Thank you very much, sir."

Not long after, the people from the pawnshop finished the job. After thanking the pawnbroker profusely, the pawnbroker took his people away.

Li Lin felt a sense of satisfaction as he looked at the cleanly cleaned three-entry courtyard.

This was his first time living in such a big house, so he couldn't help feeling a little emotional.

The four girls started busying themselves in the kitchen, and soon Zhang Afu came back, carrying some meat and green vegetables into the kitchen.

By the evening, the meals were ready.

Li Lin sat in the main seat in the main hall... In front of him were two meat dishes and a small plate of green vegetables.

The five servants sat in the side hall, where there was no table, only small stools.

All five of them held a bowl of rice, which was covered with a few green vegetables and a little bit of minced meat.

It looked shabby, but it was a very sumptuous meal for them.

At least I can eat enough and there is some oily and meaty food.

Only after seeing Li Lin pick up his chopsticks did they dare to start eating.

After dinner, Li Lin took a shower and then sat cross-legged on the bed to practice his exercises.

As for Zhang Afu and the others, they have already been allocated rooms. They can handle this small matter themselves and will not trouble the host.

Li Lin was practicing in the middle of the night when he was suddenly awakened. He felt that there was a "person" in front of him. He opened his eyes wide and made claws with his hands, ready to strike out, but stopped.

Because the 'person' he saw in front of him was none other than the Tree Fairy Goddess.

"Empress, why are you here!" Li Lin asked in surprise.
