After rebirth, I went from a peasant girl to the richest man
Chapter 355: Jiang Family's Strange Doorman
At the gate of Jiangzhou Prefecture.
He had clearly just come here two days ago, but when Bai Qingyun looked at the notice that had not yet been removed, he felt as if he was in another world.
Yes, although the flow of time outside is slow, he has spent a full ten days in this space, which is one third of a month. In the short life of a mortal, this is not a small number.
But his life span had already been extended due to cultivation, and that one-third was even shorter than the time he spent meditating with his eyes closed.
Sometimes people really shouldn't be too greedy for the length of time inside. When these different dimensions of time act on the same person, it does feel a bit dazed.
Father Bai heard what everyone had just said, so he pulled the ox cart directly into the yard and said, "Well, it's getting late, let's go there early and leave the ox cart here this afternoon and drive it back."
The Jiang Mansion in Jiangzhou Prefecture is some distance away from the shops and away from the flow of people here. It is a wealthy area in the prefecture city, and most of the residents are famous people in Jiangzhou.
Bai Qingyun easily found his destination according to the address given by Wen Zhao.
A family of three stood beside the stone lions at the door, wearing cotton-padded clothes and carrying gift boxes. They looked out of place with the wide street and the passing horse-drawn carriages, and seemed more like they were here to... beg for money.
Bai Qingyun smiled self-deprecatingly, greeted the doorman and said that he was from the Bai family in Dayang Village, and asked someone to inform the host.
The doorman was unlike the few old men who had followed Jiang's father before. They had resigned from their official positions in the capital and traveled around. In addition to the nannies and servants they were used to, there were also several guards with excellent skills.
These people had followed the fleeing team from Dayang Village before. Although they were not familiar with each other, they had met each other before.
This person has never been seen before. Although he is wearing servant's clothes, he behaves arrogantly and looks down on others. He looks up and down at the three people from the Bai family.
Perhaps seeing the shabby appearance of the Bai family and the gift box in their hands, he guessed that they were here to ask for favors, and immediately said with disdain: "Go away, don't you see where this place is? You can't just come in easily. I haven't even heard of Dayang Village. How could our master know a country bumpkin?"
As he spoke, the man pretended to chase them away and said, "How can you country folks just come into our Jiang family? There are so many people asking our master to do things for them. If I report to everyone, will I still have my legs?"
Bai's mother was already holding a gift box in her hand. Although the man did not push her, he caused them to step back and Bai's mother staggered. If Bai's father had not pulled her back in time, she would have fallen down with the gift box.
Bai Qingyun hasn't been this angry for a long time. She has always been a person who is good at hiding her emotions.
She held Huo Huo in her arms. Even without any sense, Huo Huo could clearly sense her master's emotions at the moment. She was originally very angry, but now she didn't dare to move easily in Bai Qingyun's arms. She was afraid that the residual power of her master would affect her.
He is just a mortal, the master doesn't have to help him himself.
The Bai family knew that Bai Qingyun was a little angry at the moment, but the man still stood on the steps with his hands on his waist and said arrogantly: "You people must not know how big our Jiang family's yard is. Let me tell you, it is bigger than the acres of land in your family. I am afraid that it is more tiring for me to report back and forth than for you to work in the fields."
"Hurry up and go, you are delaying me for so long."
After the man said these words, he felt as if he had just farted for a long time and immediately felt much more refreshed. He waved his hand, turned around and was about to go in.
But how could Bai Qingyun get in so easily?
"Stop!" People who are familiar with Bai Qingyun know that his usually gentle voice is now tinged with coldness.
She was angry.
She walked towards the man holding Huo Huo, and with every step she took, her anger accumulated a little more.
The person felt that the tone was somewhat intimidating and turned around subconsciously, but saw that the person who spoke was just a little girl of seven or eight years old, and he immediately felt a little annoyed.
"Are you done yet? I have a lot of things to do and I don't have time to listen to you." The doorman looked at Bai Qingyun again, his eyes were so wanton that it made people feel disgusted.
Bai's mother knew what this man was thinking, and she immediately wanted to rush forward to stand up for her daughter regardless of her image and the occasion, but she was stopped by Bai's father just before she took half a step.
Bai's mother opened her eyes wide, as if she wanted to see through Bai's father alive. She didn't understand why a man who used to be a man of blood and responsibility didn't just pick up a stone from the roadside and rush forward when he saw his daughter being looked at in such a way.
Father Bai sighed slightly and signaled Mother Bai to look at Bai Qingyun's hands holding Huohuo. A cluster of fire condensed in the palms of his hands hidden under the red fluff.
The fire was not big, just a tiny flame. What made Father Bai even more confused was that Huo Huo's lower limbs did not react at all above the fire.
If it were an ordinary person, he would have been burned to death by the scorching heat.
Warm water can boil frogs because frogs are cold-blooded animals, and their body temperature changes with the ambient temperature, which affects their ability to perceive temperature changes.
But people who are roasted by warm fire to a certain degree will not just wait to die.
It can only be said that such a reaction once again confirms the special nature of Huo Huo's existence. He is not an ordinary person... an ordinary fox.
Although Bai's mother was furious, she still had some rationality. She suddenly remembered that her daughter had martial arts skills and the skills taught by the gods, which were not something ordinary people could match.
If I rush over rashly, I'm afraid that it won't help and will only make my youngest child feel restricted.
Father Bai took Mother Bai and moved to a different position, using their own shadows to block the flame in Bai Qingyun's hand so that passers-by would not see anything unusual.
Bai Qingyun looked at the doorman coldly. The man standing on the stone steps felt a chill and trembled unconsciously, but when he saw the cold eyes below the stone steps, he shook his head again.
He just thought that he didn't wear enough when he went out today, and he didn't feel that such a pressure could be exerted on a person so young.
He still said, "It's not impossible if you want to go in. We are getting married soon and we need a maid to keep us house. If you are willing, don't even think about going in today. When you become successful, you can live in a big house like this."
"But you are so much stronger now..."
"You..." The anger that Bai's mother had just extinguished was ignited again because of this sentence.
Anyone who has lived in Kyoto will know the meaning behind this sentence.
The term greenhouse maid sounds nice, but I have never heard of a seven-year-old girl being asked to do that job.
If they specifically look for someone of this age, it's probably because they have some fetish for being good girls, or they want to be a child bride.
But no matter what it was, it was an insult to her daughter. If a girl from a respectable family could endure being insulted like this by a doorman, she would probably get sick.
