Chapter 96 Farewell(1/2)
At this time, the sun has risen high, and the temperature has risen a lot.
Li Tian and the others were almost at the third food distribution station.
Gou Wencai took out a fan from somewhere and started fanning himself.
"Aren't you hot? You're still wearing a coat." He looked at Li Tian and smiled, seeing that he had one layer inside and another outside.
Not hot? It's extremely hot! But it's too dangerous outside. He's afraid that he'll lose his compass if he takes off his coat or something.
"It's okay, are we almost there?" He thought about going to the next food distribution station first, and then finding a shady place to hide for a while.
"Come on, have you seen the ruined temple in front of you?" Gou Wencai pointed to a dilapidated temple in the distance, "It's right there. There are many beggars living there."
Li Tian nodded, as long as he was there soon, he picked up the soy milk left in the morning and took a few sips. After drinking it, he threw it away and threw the garbage on the street.
At this moment, Deng Deng Deng, a rush of footsteps quickly approached them from behind.
"Literary talent!"
Li Tian and Gou Wen just looked at each other, why did they seem to hear someone calling them?
Then Gou Wencai turned his head and looked back, and saw a rickshaw following them. The people on the rickshaw were the servants of the house, Hou Li, and Hou Jie and Hou Chuan, who distributed food with him yesterday. The three of them were just like this.
squeezed into a rickshaw.
Seeing this, they quickly drove to the side.
Shouldn't these people be working in the house at this time? Why are there still time to find them?
As they stopped, the rickshaw quickly came to them.
Hou Li, Hou Jie, and Hou Chuan all jumped out of the car and came to Gou Wencai's side.
"Why are you here? The house is recruiting people again?" Gou Wencai asked in surprise.
Hou Li smiled, knowing he would be surprised.
"No, the palace master and his wife are here. They want to see you. Let the three of us exchange you back. We will leave the food distribution to us later." Hou Li said with a smile.
"Ah? Why did the master and his wife come here suddenly?" Gou Wencai was puzzled. No one said anything to him when they came. It was too sudden.
Hou Li rolled his eyes and replied, "Who knows, they shocked us when they came in, especially Madam. We haven't seen each other for a year, and her whole hair has turned white. I thought I saw the wrong person."
"Is there such a thing?" Gou Wencai's first reaction was surprise, and then a trace of worry flashed in his eyes. He hadn't seen Qing Miao'er for a year. In just one year, his hair has turned completely white?
Ergou and Li Tian looked at each other and the real owner Hou Qingbai finally appeared!
"Okay, okay, no more ink. They are still waiting. If you go late, it will be our fault. I don't know why the master of the palace wants to see you by name. I always feel that you want to secretly go behind our backs."
It's developed." Hou Li muttered, took the whip from Gou Wencai's hand, and then drove him out of the carriage.
Li Tianergou on the side also handed the whip to Hou Jie and Hou Chuan.
Gou Wencai didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He stretched out his hand and gave Hou Li a light blow and said with a smile, "What are you talking about? If I want to get rich, I will definitely take you with me. How can I leave this to you?"
These people were kept secret by Gou Wencai. It is estimated that they will not know the truth until the day he takes over the Hou Mansion. I just don't know what their expressions will be then, and I must suspect that I haven't woken up.
A wage earner who works with you from dawn to dusk every day suddenly tells you one day, I don’t pretend anymore, I show my cards, I am the boss’s son! No one can bear this.
The rickshaw has not left yet and is still waiting for them. This business is brought back and forth and made twice, which is what they are most happy to do.
After saying goodbye, the two got into the rickshaw, while the two dogs squatted at their feet and set off.
At this time, in the lobby of the Hou Mansion, Hou Qingbai and Qing Miaoer were sitting on the two main seats, and the next seat was the trembling Manager Jia. Manager Jia was sitting on pins and needles. After all, there were two big bosses in front of him. He was nervous
Put your hands on your thighs and rub them back and forth, trying to relieve the tension.
Seemingly seeing his nervousness, Qing Miaoer smiled slightly, "Director Jia, you don't need to stay with us here, go and do your business."
Hearing this, Manager Jia was relieved, hurriedly resigned, and left in a flash.
As Manager Jia left, the smile on Qing Miaoer's face gradually faded away.
She turned her gaze to Hou Qingbai who was aside, looking at his worried look, a trace of sadness flashed in her eyes.
"Qing Bai, are you hiding something from me?" She and Hou Qingbai have been together for so long, how could he hide something on his mind from her?
Hou Qingbai raised his head and looked at her. Seeing her worried look, he felt a little distressed. He comforted her and said, "Miao'er, it's not a big deal. We will leave after Wencai comes and explains everything. From now on, everything here will be with us."
It doesn’t matter anymore.”
"Okay, I listen to you." Qing Miaoer knew that there must be something binding Hou Qingbai, and this matter was probably related to herself.
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
But since Hou Qingbai didn't want to say anything, she stopped asking.
...
The scorching sun made Li Tian and Gou Wencai sweat from the heat, but they finally arrived at the Hou Mansion.
Gou Wencai took out a silver coin and handed it to the rickshaw driver. He asked for change and turned around with Li Tian and walked towards the mansion.
The rickshaw driver smiled and put a silver coin into his purse, took out his kettle and drank some water before planning to leave.
"Where are you going? I haven't changed the money yet!" At this time, a voice interrupted his footsteps, and he looked down in confusion. Was it that dog?
"What are you looking at? Change!" Ergou said angrily. He was very angry at Li Tiangou Wencai's lavish behavior, but there was nothing he could do about it. They all had money, but he didn't! He wanted to save it secretly for himself.
With some money, you don't have to look up to Li Tian to breathe, and you can be more assertive.
"Oh." The coachman reluctantly took out forty copper coins from his purse and handed it to Ergou.
Ergou took the money and snorted disdainfully, turned around and ran into the Hou Mansion.
The driver looked at the two dogs leaving and muttered, "What a world, dogs need money..." and then pulled the cart away.
In the Hou Mansion, Manager Jia hesitated and finally invited Gou Wencai to come.
"Oh, you talented man, you are finally here. The palace master and his wife have been waiting for you for a long time. Come over quickly. They are in the lobby."
Seeing his anxious look, Gou Wencai couldn't help but smile and replied, "Okay, I understand, let's go now."
Today, Li Tian and the others went to distribute food, and Hou Fang, who stayed behind, naturally took over his work and was sweeping the floor at the door with a broom.
He felt that there was something wrong with the atmosphere today. Why was Manager Jia suddenly so polite to Gou Wencai, and the master of the palace specifically wanted to see him? All these things revealed that it was not simple.
However, Manager Jia was talking to Gou Wencai, so he didn't dare to go up and ask, he only dared to observe secretly.
Gou Wencai also wanted to take Li Tian there with him, but Li Tian refused.
"I won't go when you guys are talking about things. It won't be too late to take me to get to know you after you finish talking." Li Tian's purpose is just to recognize the person. The most important thing is to find Hou Qingbai's address.
When Wencai went to talk about something, he felt uncomfortable with him, so he simply didn't go.
Seeing that he didn't want to go, Gou Wencai didn't force him. They said goodbye and walked towards the lobby on their own.
As soon as Gou Wen left, Manager Jia came closer to Li Tian mysteriously, with a smile on his face.
"Li Tiantian, is the palace owner planning to let him take over the Hou Mansion when he calls you brother this time?" Manager Jia rubbed his hands and asked.
Li Tian looked at him in surprise and asked, "Ah? Manager Jia, do you know about the relationship between Brother Wencai and the master of the palace?"
"Of course I know. Your brother didn't tell you? I usually pretend not to know. Isn't this what your brother asked for? He keeps a low profile, hehe." Because Li Tian and Gou Wencai have a close relationship, so
Manager Jia was relatively polite to Li Tian, but he was not as arrogant as yesterday.
Seeing this, Li Tian grinned, put his hand on Manager Jia's shoulder, and said, "Xiao Jia, my talented brother didn't tell me about this, but I guess I'm thinking the same thing as you."
"Xiao...Xiao Jia?" Manager Jia couldn't believe it. Li Tian's attitude changed too quickly, right?
Seeing his surprise, Li Tian couldn't help but frown slightly, "What's wrong? Is there any problem?"
Hearing this, Manager Jia immediately said, "No... no, after Wen Cai takes over the Hou Mansion, you will definitely take over the position of chief manager. It's not an exaggeration to call me Xiao Jia!"
He never expected that Li Tian, who had nodded and bowed to him yesterday, would now dare to stand directly on his head and shit. Although he was very angry now, he really didn't dare to say a word to refute.
Seeing that he was so sensible, Li Tian nodded happily, "Yes, Xiao Jia, you are very good. When I get tired of being the general manager, I will do it for you. It's just a matter of words."
Manager Jia quickly said in fear, "Don't you dare."
To be honest, Li Tian felt very relieved when he saw Manager Jia groveling. It felt so good to be like a dog fighting against the power of others! Bah, bah, bah, it should be a man fighting against the power of others!
"Okay, if you have nothing to do, go ahead and do your work." Finally, Li Tian patted his shoulder again and asked him to leave.
Then he stopped standing stupidly, turned around and walked towards the room, put his hands behind his back, and walked away in a swagger, while still smiling, "Jie Jie Jie, Jie Jie Jie!"
Manager Jia "..."
From now on, if these two people are in charge of the Marquis Mansion, he may not be able to get ahead, Manager Jia thought sadly.
Hou Fang, who was sweeping the floor, was also dumbfounded. What was going on? Why did Director Jia be so groveling to Li Tian? Could it be that he recognized his relatives and went to the palace master's place?
Just as he was thinking, Manager Jia also saw him, with a malicious look on his face, as if he had seen something he shouldn't have seen.
This frightened Hou Fang to quickly grab a broom

I hid in a corner, not daring to let him see me again...
Just like that, the time came to an hour later.
In the lobby.
