Road edge float

Chapter 23: Chapter 23
Yan Kaiting sneered, stood up, strode out of the main hall, and disappeared among the trees and buildings in the blink of an eye.

Everyone in the hall looked at each other and left one after another boringly. In the end, only Hu Donglai and two stewards in their 40s were left.

One of the round faces looked left and right, seeing that there were no more idle people waiting, his expression relaxed, showing a little anxiety. "What's the meaning of the Chief Manager? Seeing that he usually annoys that kid, this time, he has to work for him to make up for the smile of outsiders. Why did he turn to that kid instead?"

Another thin tall man said: "Brother Qi be careful, even if there is no one else here, it's better to change the address. The chief executive is rigid and upright. If he hears it, don't care about right and wrong. It's not good."

Manager Qi muttered with displeasure on his face: "The manager is Mrs. Ji's man, and he is so nice to you. Could it be that you have developed feelings for him over the years?"

Hearing the words, the tall man rubbed his chin and said, "No, no. In terms of closeness, Guanshi Hu is Mrs. Ji's nephew, just like his son-in-law. They are all his own. In the past, Guanshi Hu handed it over to him. What matter, which chief executive rejected? So that Brother Qi knows that cultivating people is not just indulgence, and there is another saying, to sharpen a knife with a stubborn stone!"

Guanshi Qi suddenly realized, "Brother He means..."

The tall man made a gesture to stop him, and said: "Brother Qi understands, you don't need to say it!" He pointed to Hu Donglai and said: "Brother Hu is about to be promoted to the rank of master, this is a real ability, this is the real frontman A sharp sword soldier is not the same as borrowing a fairy soldier's sharp weapon. A stubborn stone, after all, is a stubborn stone, and when the sword soldier grinds it, the stone is useless."

Hu Donglai didn't speak, just smiled reservedly and nodded, which was the default.It has to be said that Hu Donglai is worthy of the nickname of "Jade Faced Lord". Even if there are injuries on his face, it will not damage his handsome and elegant demeanor.

Guanshi Qi was very pleasantly surprised, "The master who makes the weapon is amazing! We can have more weight against the people of Yangzhou!"

The tall man hurriedly hissed and said, "Since this is a big matter, let's take it slowly."

Guan Shi immediately fell silent, and looked around, there were no other people coming and going in the main hall, and there was no unusual movement.

Hu Donglai said at this moment: "This game was not done well. Although there were various accidents and the Fu family intervened, but no matter what the reason, if it was not done well, it was not done well. Master Xia beat it for my own good. Besides' The time to meet the devil is approaching, and Qi Guanshi also knows that Master Xia is a very responsible person, and it is the right thing to focus on war."

After saying this, Guan Shi was apprehensive and nodded again and again.And where he couldn't see, the tall man, He Qi'an, one of the chief stewards of the craftsman's mansion, exchanged an unspoken wink with Hu Donglai.

Just now, the two of them sang and sang, and finally appeased the senior manager Qi Xiong who had a lot of connections with local artisans, and made him believe that even though Xia Pingsheng needed to be fair on the surface, he still favored Hu Donglai secretly.

And this cognition is also the opinion of many managers of "Heavenly Creation", and even many people in Yujing City.

With Xia Pingsheng's ability, it is enough to be self-reliant, but he has always been content with Mrs. Ji's subordinates.And after her death, she still guarded the foundation of the craftsman's mansion without any monopoly.Such a loyal, loving family, is it not natural to favor some of Mrs. Ji's blood relatives?
Yan Kaiting left the main hall and headed towards the inner courtyard.

Yan Mansion has been operating in Yujing for hundreds of years. The main house in the city occupies a very large area, spanning three blocks from the outside, and the main layout inside is also divided into three parts.

One is the outer courtyard.This is also the location of the main mansion of "Tiangong Kaiwu". In addition to the main hall for centralized discussions, there are also various buildings such as large and small meeting rooms, financial rooms, warehouses, courtyards for managers at all levels to rest, and canteens that serve meals day and night. Occupies half of the entire Yan Mansion's land.

The second is the inner courtyard.It is the residence of the successive masters of the Yan Mansion. It has a famous "Flower Garden" in Yujing City. After hundreds of years of careful maintenance, it has collected several famous flowers from several states, which bloom in turn throughout the year.

The third is the guest house.It is the guest residence of the Yan Mansion, which includes twelve exquisite courtyards of different sizes and styles, and the luxurious decoration is even more luxurious than the inner courtyard.Xia Ping has lived here for many years.The rest will only be enabled when the "Tiangong Kaiwu" receives guests.

On the wide square between the guest courtyard and the inner courtyard stands the Yan Family Ancestral Hall.Six years ago, the ancestral hall collapsed due to a fire, and then it was not at the original site for some reason, but was rebuilt next to the ruins, and the ruins were not completely cleaned up, so the charred foundation and broken walls can still be seen now.

When Yan Kaiting passed the square, he stopped slowly, looking at the ancestral hall on the white stone wall and the black ruins beside it.Under the cloudy leaden sky, the contrast between black and white is particularly dazzling.

The three courtyards of Yan Mansion all have passages and portals leading directly to the outside of the mansion. This square can only be passed by between the three courtyards, and there are not many people who have the authority to pass inside and outside the mansion, so this place is the most deserted in the mansion. a corner of the

Perhaps because no one was bothering him, Yan Kaiting stood there for a long time, but he just watched from a distance from the beginning to the end, and had no intention of approaching the ancestral hall.

Suddenly he turned around abruptly, just in time to meet a person who turned out of the alley behind.

The man walked all the way, looking around, his footsteps were still a little uncertain, as if he was not familiar with the surrounding environment.As soon as he raised his head, he suddenly bumped into a pair of sharp eyes, and couldn't help being startled.

Yan Kaiting frowned.The person in front of him was of medium build, wearing the attire of a crowned young man, but he had a face that hadn't completely faded from childishness.

His hair crown and robe are all azure, and the details are not like Yongzhou or the northern style.The whole set of costumes is brilliance and restrained, very low-key.But if you look carefully with the eyesight of a master monk, you will find that the workmanship is absolutely not bad, and it may even be a magic weapon and a robe.

Yan Kaiting can be sure that he has never seen this person.

After the initial shock, the man spoke first, "Excuse me, how do I get to 'Jihuiyuan'?"

This young man seems to be rather shy and shy. Most of the time when speaking, his eyes are involuntarily lowered to his toes.But when he spoke, it turned out that he was not a local, and his accent was soft and clear, which was Nanyin.

"Jihuiyuan" is the first-class room in the guest courtyard, so this person should be an important guest of "Tiangong Kaiwu".It's just that the VIP doesn't know the owner, which is quite absurd.

Yan Kaiting was not very interested in this, and he didn't intend to pay attention to which guest in charge this was. He pointed to another corridor behind the young man, and then got ready to leave.

"that……"

Yan Kaiting felt his sleeves being pulled a bit, turned around and saw the young man showing embarrassment and embarrassment, "I've walked in that direction three times..."

Yan opened the court silently.

The various courtyards of the Guest House need to be independent and private, as well as have a beautiful view, so some magic circle layouts were incorporated at the beginning of the construction.Use high and low vegetation, alleyways and quiet paths, and stream stone sketches to isolate the view and create an atmosphere of living next to each other without interfering with each other.

However, even if the road inside is not straight and there are a few more curves, will anyone get lost?
The question in Yan Kaiting's eyes might be too obvious, the young man couldn't help but feel ashamed, and he stuttered, "Ma... sorry for your trouble."

Yan Kaiting looked around, and there was no third person in sight, so he had to admit the trouble that came to him.He took a step forward and said, "Follow."

The stature of the young man is more like that of a young boy who has just grown up. He looks a little thin, and he is half a head shorter than Yan Kaiting. He has to walk quickly to catch up with Yan Kaiting's pace.

He hastened a few steps, and said: "I am from Yangzhou, my surname is Han, my name is Fenglai, and my name is Xiaoshao. Please tell me my name?"

When Yan Kaiting heard the name and surname of the state, he suddenly remembered a trivial matter that Fu Mingxuan had told him.

That was when Fu Mingxuan had just returned to the city and was resting at the inn. He accidentally encountered "Guanfeng Pavilion" Qin Jiang who was "spreading" his reputation as a dude. watch.

And if he remembered correctly, the owner of "Yetian Workshop" was surnamed Han.

Yan Kaiting stopped abruptly, turned his head and gave Han Fenglai a deep look, and the latter also stopped, looking at him with a puzzled expression.
