Mortals cultivating immortals and encountering strange encounters with immortals

After saying that, he pulled Qin Feng and quickly came to stand not far from the old man in rich clothes and said;

"Brother Qin, come, let me introduce you. This is Manager Wen of the City Lord's Mansion. He handles almost all the affairs of the City Lord's Mansion by himself, and he is highly regarded by the City Lord!"

After he finished speaking, he saw the old man drinking by himself at the Eight Immortals table. He didn't even hear the introduction just now. He didn't even move his eyelids.

Seeing this, Li Xiucai on the side swallowed back the words that were about to come to his mouth, coughed awkwardly, then winked at Qin Feng and sat down.

Qin Wanfeng stood beside him at the door and was at a loss. After Qin Feng stared at the old man for a moment, he mustered up the courage to talk to the old man. He knew the gap between himself and the old man, even though the old man was just a housekeeper in the city lord's house. , in layman's terms, he is a janitor, but who can not take him seriously? As the saying goes, even when beating a dog, it depends on the owner! Not to mention that he was the steward of the City Lord's Mansion. After thinking about this, Qin Feng bent down and bowed to the old man, his attitude was extremely pious, and said;

"Qin Feng, a common man, has met your Excellency!"

The old man didn't say anything. He picked up the dishes on the table with chopsticks and started eating by himself. He didn't hear anything at all. Li Xiucai glanced at Qin Wanfeng behind him and gave Qin Feng a wink. , Qin Feng looked back at Qin Wanfeng behind him, and then waved to him. Upon seeing this, Qin Wanfeng walked over and came to Qin Feng's side.

Qin Feng looked at Qin Wanfeng and winked at the ground. Qin Wanfeng immediately understood what Qin Feng meant, and then knelt down beside Qin Feng with a pop. Qin Feng then knelt down and spoke again. road;

"Qin Feng, a common man, has met your Excellency!"

The old man glanced at the two brothers kneeling on the ground with his right eye. He did not speak, but just picked up the wine glass and took a sip. Seeing this, Li Xiucai's eyes lit up. Knowing that there was something going on, he stood up and saluted the old man opposite. , said in a deep voice;

"I'd like to inform the housekeeper that the man kneeling on the ground is the master blacksmith in my workshop. He has been an apprentice in my workshop for seven or eight years. Now he can stand on his own and make forges." The weapons he produced are no worse than my father’s! Some people even come here to ask him to make various knives, and even some of the weapons in the city lord’s palace were made by him!”

When Li Xiucai's words came out, Butler Wen, who had been drinking by himself, raised his eyebrows, put down the wine glass and chopsticks in his hands, then looked directly at Li Xiucai and asked;

"Oh? Is this true?"

"Nothing can be fake!"

Li Xiucai didn't dare to joke, so he answered in a deep voice. In fact, what he said was the truth. In recent years, Qin Feng has been making most of the knives in the blacksmith shop, mainly because the old blacksmith was old and because of his long-term The reason for bending over and working was that he was no longer strong and unable to do his job. He had already handed over the shop to his son, Li Xiucai, but Li Xiucai was unwilling to take over the blacksmith shop and only wanted to write books about sages. As a last resort, Blacksmith Li had no choice but to take over the blacksmith shop. I have given all my mind to Qin Feng, and as the successor of Tiejiang Li, I will still take over his mantle in the future.

After hearing what Li Xiucai said, the steward turned his attention to the Qin Feng brothers. He looked at Qin Feng and said;

"Is what Li Xiucai said true?"

Qin Feng bowed his head and saluted;

"Master is old and has suffered from back pain in recent years. Therefore, most of the knives in the shop are made by me!"

"Um,"

The old man nodded, then moved his gaze to Li Xiucai, his eyes were smiling, and he looked at Li Xiucai with a half-smile and said;

"Haha! I wonder why Young Master Li is so elegant as to invite me to dinner!"

Hearing what the steward said, Li Xiucai couldn't help but feel embarrassed. A few days ago, when the city lord had just offered a place to Li Xiucai, he wanted to refuse because he was an only son and was reluctant to learn martial arts. Then he thought of it. Qin Feng, who was an apprentice in his family, gave the place to Qin Feng because the two had known each other since childhood and had a good relationship. However, yesterday I heard the young master of the City Lord's Mansion talking about the place, saying that things had changed, that The quota might not be available to him, so last night, he hurriedly informed Qin Feng to go home today and pick up his younger brother, and he learned from the young master that Butler Wen from the City Lord's Mansion was familiar with the recruitment deacon from Qingfeng Mountain. , so today I pretended to invite the old housekeeper for a drink, so Qin Feng brought Qin Wanfeng to see the old housekeeper and see if he could help him. Li Xiucai laughed and said;

"Hehe, nothing can be hidden from Butler Wen's discerning eyes! Having you in the City Lord's Mansion is a blessing to the entire Qianlong Town! The whole...!"

Before Li Xiucai could finish speaking, he was interrupted by the butler, who waved his hand and said;

"Li Xiucai, the ugly thing I said earlier is that if it is for a certain errand to go to the City Lord's Mansion, it would be easy to handle. After all, the City Lord will not care about these small things, but if it is anything else, then you have found the wrong person tonight! "

"Butler, the city lord promised me a place to go to Qingfeng Mountain a few days ago, but he won't...!"

"Don't even think about that quota. Two days ago, the cousin of the city lord's third wife went to the city lord to apply for a quota. Now the staff is full, and even the old man can't change the outcome!"

After he finished speaking, the butler was seen drinking alone but no longer talking about anything else. Upon seeing this, Qin Feng fell to the ground with an extremely ugly face. How could he miss the opportunity to change his fate after finally getting it?

He looked at Qin Wanfeng beside him, thinking about how he would live and die in that small mountain village for the rest of his life. Thinking of his mother's instructions before leaving, he gritted his teeth and took out two ingots of silver from his arms, feeling the heavy weight in his hands. He was also distressed by the weight, but for a chance to change his destiny, he offered it to the old housekeeper with trembling hands, Qin Feng said;

"Sir, great sir, please show me a way to survive for the common people. The common people will definitely be grateful for your great kindness!"

When Qin Feng placed the two ingots of silver in front of him with both hands, the steward just raised his eyes, then turned his head to Qin Feng and said;

"This matter is decided by the city lord himself. No one can change the decision. However, because you are so perseverant, I can show you a way to survive. Whether you can seize it or not depends on you!"

Li Xiucai on the side had already let go of his worries, but when Qin Feng took out the two pieces of silver, he was also greatly moved. He knew that Qin Feng had been an apprentice in the blacksmith shop these years and had not yet truly When I start my career, I can only earn a limited amount of money, which has only increased in the past two years.

"It seems that Qin Feng has spent almost all of his salary over the past two years!"

Li Xiucai thought to himself, he knew what Qin Feng was like. At this time, Qin Feng, who was already despairing, heard this. Qin Feng, who had already prepared for the worst, was immediately moved after hearing this and said;

"Please make it clear, sir!"

The old housekeeper calmly put away the silver coins, then took out an envelope made of kraft paper from his arms and handed it to Qin Feng. Qin Feng took it with both hands and heard the housekeeper say;

"In another month and a half, it will be the official assessment day of Qingfeng Mountain. If you can arrive at Qingfeng Mountain before then, you will hand this envelope to the examiner at that time. If possible, you will have the opportunity to enter Qingfeng Mountain for the assessment! It’s up to you to make it happen or not!”

After that, he took a sip of wine, turned to look at Li Xiucai, and said;

"Master Li, there are still things at home that I need to deal with, so I'll go ahead and say goodbye!"

After saying that, he stood up and left. Only the Qin Feng brothers and Li Xiucai were left at the scene. Looking at the back of Butler Wen gradually leaving, Qin Feng breathed a sigh of relief, then got up from the ground and sat there. On the Eight Immortals table, he sat slumped there, as if he was relieved. Qin Wanfeng stood up and stood next to his eldest brother. He didn't say a word, and he didn't know that at his young age, he was in his heart at this moment. What to think!

"Brother Qin, you paid such a price to get such a salty answer? What are you thinking?"

Li Xiucai didn't understand very much. He looked at the two ingots of silver that Qin Feng gave away, which were nearly fifty taels! Is this his entire income over the years? He really doesn't understand! Is it so important to go to Qingfeng Mountain to practice martial arts? Seeing this situation, Qin Feng just smiled slightly and said;

"Young Master, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Besides, if my younger brother passes the assessment at Qingfeng Mountain, then this investment will definitely be rewarded in the future. With the letter of introduction from Butler Wen, the chance of success is also Pretty big! And a little less troublesome!”

At this time, Qin Feng remembered his younger brother beside him, turned around and pulled Qin Wanfeng to him and said;

"Second brother, come quickly, I have met Young Master Li!"

Seeing this, Qin Wanfeng walked up to Li Xiucai and saluted Li Xiucai.

"Young Master Li is well!"

"Haha! Little guy, are you Brother Qin's second brother?"

"Young Master Li, that's right!"

"Little guy, if you get admitted to Qingfeng Mountain and become famous in the future, don't forget everything your elder brother has done for you today!"

"I will never forget my brother's hard work for me, and I dare not forget Young Master Li's kindness in helping me today! If I am lucky enough to succeed in the future, I will definitely repay Young Master Li's kindness!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Li Xiucai let out a burst of laughter. He didn't expect that the boy in front of him was actually a boy who knew how to repay his kindness. Regardless of whether he could realize it in the future, just for the words he just said, he would not waste his tonight in vain. I spent a lot of time treating the butler to a drink!
