Raising the Demon

Chapter 240
Although Zi Baifeng used his power to track down many people, but in the end he did not get much useful information.

These people eventually left Dongting from different directions and never came back, not even in his jurisdiction.

The clues that Zi Baifeng can use are still only those from before. He must find an opportunity, an opportunity to get more clues.

Zi Baifeng even regretted not buying the ghost grass and letting the ghost grass stay in his field of vision.

However, the opportunity soon came again.

Fifteen days passed quickly, and in early October, Gui Moxuan's interior decoration was finally completed and entered the final process before opening.

Tian Zijian has not been idle for the past ten years. He has been busy with the decoration of Gui Moxuan with his own construction team, the four brothers, the axe, the saw, and the planer.

Gui Moxuan is located not far from the original book shop. The house was sold by Zi Baifeng. In addition, she is also responsible for recruiting people.

Selling ink is different from selling ordinary things, and Gui Moxuan is not an ordinary low-end ink shop, so you need to be more cautious in recruiting people. Not only can you be eloquent, but you must also understand ink and love ink, have a background, and have a character.

This kind of request is not an exaggerated request in Dongting. Anyway, Dongting has a lot of down-and-out scholars. Zi Wu rented a room in an inn next to Shusi Street for interviews. For the venue, I asked the people from Zhizhengyuan to help distribute some leaflets a day or two in advance. On the day of the interview, there were huge crowds of people outside the inn, and they lined up in the corner.

Because Zi Wu is not a stingy person, the price she offered was twice as high as the ordinary one, but she only recruited seven or eight people, and her requirements were much higher than others.

Zi Baifeng was also pulled by his old lady to be the examiner, and she was the chief examiner. The old lady changed into men's clothes and sat on his side. On the other side, there was another old lady who couldn't afford to offend—Fu Jun's wife.

The two wives both changed into men's clothes, and Zi Baifeng realized that in Xijing, women disguised as men are actually quite popular. The purpose is not to dress up as a man, but to show that I am working now, please don't look at women look at me.

Many strong women walk outside in this kind of dress. It's not like in the novels and movies of the previous life. If they change into men's clothes, others will not be able to see that they are women.

Zi Wu knew that Zi Baifeng was busy, and was afraid that she didn't have time to take care of her business. Zi Jian also had his own plans, so he went to Mrs. Fu Jun to partner with him. Shangxin, he has been busy the past few days, helping with the preparations.

Zi Baifeng's work is not too busy. He just selects questions from various prepared questions to test those who come to the interview. This question was prepared by Zi Wu and Fu Jun's wife, and it involves various knowledge , Zi Baifeng asked while thinking about how to answer, and the final conclusion was that if he came by himself, he might not pass the interview at all.

Fortunately, he is the boss, so he doesn't need to know too much.

He received many scholars all morning, but when the next person came in, Zi Baifeng found another girl disguised as a man, standing timidly in front of him.

The tea in Zi Baifeng's mouth almost spewed out. Who is this girl in front of her if it's not a ghost grass?
This guy is really lingering, and he ran here again. Zi Baifeng remembered that the man in black asked her to stop activities temporarily, which was related to her confinement. Unexpectedly, he ran out again in a few days. It was a plan Has there been a change, or is it because she is unwilling?
"Your Excellency, two ladies." Guicao bowed gracefully, which was different from the lovely and pitiful woman who sold her body to bury her father back then.

"Why are you here?" Zi Baifeng couldn't pretend not to know him, so he could only ask.

Zi Wu's eyes lit up immediately, and she turned to look carefully at Zi Baifeng's expression.

Of course Zi Baifeng knew what she was thinking, she must be thinking, could such a beautiful girl be my family's Baifeng's sweetheart?

Zi Baifeng quickly clarified: "Mother, this is the daughter of the father and daughter who rent our house, her name is..."

"The little girl's surname is Gui, and her nickname is Xiaocao. You can call me Xiaocao." Guicao whispered.

"Osmanthus grass? It sounds like a good match for our Gui Moxuan, ah, I remembered, the one who sold himself to bury his father at the gate of Zhizheng courtyard two days ago was you." Zi Wu said in a low voice.

Zi Baifeng saw that it was not good, his old mother had developed a good impression of this spy, but now I can't say anything more, I can only say to Zi Wu: "Mother, our Gui Moxuan only accepts men."

"Why can't you accept women?" Zi Wu glared at Zi Baifeng. She is as virtuous as any old lady in the world. Whenever she sees a beautiful woman, she can't wait for her to be her daughter-in-law. Anyway, Baifeng is an excellent family. The more the better, if you can't be the main wife, it's good to be a hothouse girl first.

Mrs. Fujun seems to have the same thoughts. In her eyes, Zi Baifeng is like a half-son. She looks at the ghost grass in front of her with a smile, but Mrs. Fujun's cultivation and eyesight are not ordinary people. Already showing vigilance, he glanced at Zi Baifeng, and Zi Baifeng glanced back at her, and Fujun's wife immediately covered the sharpness in her eyes, and her eyes were full of smiles again.

"Girl, since you're here, go on to the interview." Zi Wu said softly, and Guicao hurriedly saluted again, "Thank you, madam!"

She looks like a sweet and sensible girl.

"Well, tell me first, which position you are interviewing for, and what are its advantages." Zi Baifeng said.

"My lord, the little girl is interviewing for the position of an ink tester. Although the little girl has never been successful like an adult, she also went to a private school when she was a child. It's just because she is a daughter and her family is poor. She only went to school for a few years. No more. It’s just that the little girl has always liked calligraphy and painting. In her spare time, she once... once drew some things that were ashamed to be seen by others..."

Something shy to show people?What it is?
It has to be said that the ghost grass successfully seduced Zi Baifeng and was taken into the ditch by what she hinted at.

A vigorous young man will always suffer a disadvantage in front of a shy and beautiful girl.

But fortunately, Zi Baifeng is Zi Baifeng, the so-called distraction is only because in the previous life, he had seen too many jokes with no taste and integrity, and his ability to associate was too strong, so he quickly came back to his senses and said: " Oh? Since you said you can draw, why don't you show it on the spot." Zi Baifeng said.

He pointed to the pen, ink, paper and inkstone in front of him, Guicao bowed his head and said yes, and walked forward slowly, his movements were gentle and slow, which made people feel calm.

I have to say, in all fairness, among all the people so far, Ghost Grass is the best performer, with just the right humility, just the right tone and volume, this must be done after rigorous physical training, what's more rare, Everything is done so naturally, it seems to be so natural.

Even if Zi Baifeng knew the identity of Guicao, he couldn't help sighing that Jiuying's spy was really powerful, but he was just an ordinary spy, and he was already so difficult to deal with, he didn't have such a person under his command.

Ghost Grass grinds the ink and lifts the brush, her movements are gentle and without smoke and fire. In fact, it is not his painting that is assessed in this process, but her movements and postures of grinding ink.A high-end and elegant store like Guimoxuan must make customers feel different from all aspects.

As for the calligraphy and painting of Guicao, in fact, everyone doesn't care much about it. In fact - for Zi Baifeng, who is a master of calligraphy and painting, this calligraphy and painting is better than Xiaoshi, but not much.

After all, they were just spies, and Zi Baifeng thought they were really capable of everything, and they were all [-].

But this performance is already satisfactory.

"Girl, let's talk about what you think is your advantage." Zi Baifeng said.

"Yes, my lord." Guicao put down the pen in his hand, and even cleaned the brush and inkstone, the action was considered to be in line with the standard procedure, so he said unhurriedly.

"My lord, after I came to Xijing, I read a book that has been widely circulated. There was a chapter in it called Hongxiu Tianxiang Reading at Night. It said in the book that every scholar has a dream of Hongxiu Tianxiang. Reading at night At the same time, there was a beautiful and gentle woman rubbing the ink gently. The little girl believed that this should be the romance that people who like calligraphy and painting should pursue together. If it was a man who was big and thick, his movements would definitely not be as gentle as the red sleeves. When rubbing ink, not only can't help meditation, but it will interrupt the interest in reading..."

Seeing the red sleeves add fragrance, this will interrupt the interest in reading.

Zi Baifeng vomited in his heart, but he had to sigh, this ghost is really good at flattering people, even if he knows that the other party is a spy, Zi Baifeng still feels very comfortable being photographed.

Because this "red sleeves add fragrance to reading at night" is a chapter in Zi Baifeng's version of The Legend of the White Snake, and this one compliments him with his book, which can be said to hit his weakness, so that Zi Baifeng can't say anything against it Come.

Zi Baifeng nodded, but didn't show it. As an interviewer, you can't let the interviewer get too much information through emotions, otherwise you will be at a disadvantage. He said to Guicao: "Okay, you go down first. Go ahead, leave your address with the clerk outside, and if you finally get through, we'll send someone to pick you up."

"Thank you, my lord." Guicao bowed softly, and when she turned to leave, she finally showed a little bit of a let-down, she moved a little faster, and she was obviously very happy in her heart.

If Zi Baifeng hadn't been a very caring person, he wouldn't have found out.

But even if it is discovered, it is impossible to use this small flaw as an excuse. People feel that they have performed well, so they are happy?

"How?" Zi Baifeng asked his wife.

"I think it's very good, and what the little girl said is also good. Isn't our ink testing area called Hongxiu Tianxiang? You really need Hongxiu to live up to the name."

Zi Baifeng noticed that the ghost grass had gone far, and said in a low voice, "Mother, this guy is not a good person."

"Your mother is not blind." Zi Wu glared at him and said, "Tell me, who is she?"

In this world, women know women best, Zi Baifeng only thinks that his old mother's expression is emotional when he sees the ghost grass, but he doesn't know that his old mother is not an easy-going lamp.

　Second more!

　　Thank you for your monthly pass, but it still seems very dangerous, and it was blown up again...
