Lin Chengze was in a miserable situation. Having missed the first opportunity, he was tired, hungry, and had unbearable pain in his back. He wandered around looking for a job to make a living, but when people saw him like this, they all shook their heads. However, he was still God's favorite. An old lady took pity on him and took him in for a night, and even helped him mend his clothes.
Lin Chengze was so excited that he swore to repay the old lady in the future.
It seemed that his fate with the Liu Mansion had not ended. The next day, the old lady who was coaxed by him said that she would introduce him to a menial job. Lin Chengze did not refuse, especially when he heard that the place to be assigned was the Liu Mansion, he was stunned.
The only difference was that this time he entered the Liu Mansion as a handyman, and started doing odd jobs as soon as he entered. He had almost no chance to come into contact with Minister Liu and his wife and Liu Ning, but Lin Chengze was full of confidence. For him, the present was the first step to gain a firm foothold.
Because he was good at talking, Lin Chengze gradually made other servants like him, and his reputation gradually improved. Liu Ning accidentally heard the maid mention the servant who came here and couldn't help feeling a little curious. She took a few sneaky glances at him and was very impressed with Lin Chengze. The neat-looking Lin Chengze was handsome, but it was a pity that he was just a servant. If he wore a long gown, he would be a refined young man.
She didn't lift the curtain that day, so naturally she didn't see Lin Chengze.
At the family dinner on the first day, Lin Chengze was allowed into the inner courtyard for the first time to help with the preparations. He saw Minister Liu and his wife, as well as Miss Liu Ning. The moment he saw Liu Ning, his heart beat faster. This was too much to look at.
Liu Ning also noticed him, and when he saw him looking at him, he couldn't help but lower his head.
Lin Chengze had an idea. If he wanted to stand out, he had to start with the lady in front of him.
Soon the guests arrived, all colleagues of Minister Liu, but they seemed to be waiting for someone until the messenger at the door shouted at the top of his voice, "Imperial Censor Sha is here!"
Everyone stood up to greet him. Although Censor Sha had retired, he was still a senior official who had served three dynasties. Although he was not a high-ranking official, many people had received his guidance and favors, so everyone respected him very much.
Lin Chengze stood aside and waited, thinking about his next move, but when he looked up, he saw someone he didn't expect.
Then I know what you mean!
At this time, Fang Zhiyi was dressed neatly. Although not particularly luxurious, he was much more fashionable than him. From his dress, one could tell that he was a well-educated person.
Lin Chengze was a little surprised, but he knew that he couldn't speak at the moment, so he could only pray that Fang Zhiyi saw him. So, Fang Zhiyi should be following that old man, right? If he could give him a few recommendations, wouldn't that make things much faster?
Lin Chengze's heart is full of good things.
But until the meeting, Fang Zhiyi didn't even look at him.
"Mr. Sha, who is this?" Minister Liu asked.
"He, he is the person I want to introduce to you today." Censor Sha said with a smile.
"oh?"
"I've heard from Imperial Censor Sha that there's a great man he wants to introduce to us. Could it be this... young man?"
"Mr. Sha, don't joke."
But seeing Sha Yushi's serious look, everyone was stunned again. Sha Yushi never jokes.
Lin Chengze also felt a little dumbfounded. Everyone? That idiot?
Fang Zhiyi did not hide it, but stood up, dipped his finger in water and wrote a few words on the small table in front of him. Everyone gathered around to look at him, and then gasped.
"Young man, young man, young man, young man!"
"I have no eyes to recognize the great man!"
Lin Chengze, who was standing far away and couldn't see, was as anxious as a monkey with an itchy butt. He twisted his left leg and was hit by the patrolling housekeeper: "Stand still! Don't want to stand still?"
Lin Chengze glanced at the butler's back with resentment, gritted his teeth, and said, "Just wait for me!"
