Spoiling my mistress and swallowing my dowry? After my rebirth, I changed my marriage to a powerful
Chapter 473 A mysterious nobleman came to town
Zhang Xiangliang went to Shenglong Inn to apply for a job from the owner Sheng.
Manager Sheng knew Zhang Xiangliang and knew that he was an honest person. It just so happened that the courtyard was short of a handyman, so he intended to keep him.
"The store is in need of someone to feed the horses and sweep the yard. Three hundred coins a month, with two meals provided. If you're willing, start today."
The Yulong Kingdom was a powerful country and had long had three meals a day, but Western Xia was poor and its people could only have two meals a day. The inn provided two meals, which meant one day's meals.
Of course Zhang Xiangliang was willing to do this. He could feed the horses and sweep the yard, and most importantly, he could also take care of the meals for the day, so his family could save food.
He agreed immediately.
I went home happily to tell Ye Ting, but when I got home I found no one there.
He tidied up the house. Manager Sheng said that he should feed the horses and sweep the yard at the beginning of the morning hour every day, and could go back home at the end of the evening hour without having to stand guard.
After he had cleaned up the house and yard, he still hadn't seen Ye Ting come back.
Neither he nor Ye Ting could read, so they had to ask Sister Lin next door to pass a message to Ye Ting: "Sister Lin, my wife is back, please tell her that I am at Shenglong Inn."
Sister Lin smiled and said, "Okay, okay, it's just a matter of words."
When Zhang Xiangliang arrived at Shenglong Inn, he happened to meet a group of distinguished guests from out of town who had just entered the hotel.
A luxurious carriage and about twenty guards. Those guards looked difficult to deal with. They were majestic and had cold faces.
When Shopkeeper Sheng saw him, he immediately ordered, "Xiang Liang, hurry up, park the carriage in the west yard and take the horses to the stables to feed them."
Zhang Xiangliang did not dare to be careless. He followed Manager Sheng's instructions and helped to move the stool.
The carriage curtain opened, and a man in very luxurious clothes walked out of the carriage.
The man was not very tall and had a big hood on his head that covered his entire face, so his appearance could not be seen. However, he had an upright posture and was nimble on his feet, so he must be a young man.
As soon as that person came in, he booked the entire room on the second floor.
The young man was escorted into the inn. Zhang Xiangliang and the inn guards hurriedly moved the carriage and horses to the west wing.
Not long after, Shopkeeper Sheng called Zhang Xiangliang again, asking him to sweep the yard again and sprinkle some water.
Seeing everyone in the inn busy, Zhang Xiangliang knew that the visitor must be an important figure, so he worked with full concentration.
Around 3 p.m., Ye Ting returned from her parents' home.
When Sister Lin heard her door open, she leaned over the wall and said to her, "Xiang Liang's wife, Xiang Liang asked me to tell you that he went to work at Shenglong Inn."
Ye Ting frowned and asked, "Why did you go to Shenglong Inn?"
"I don't know that. Your man said that."
"Okay, thank you, Sister Lin."
Ye Ting changed into a new pair of shoes and went to Shenglong Inn.
She wants to stop Zhang Xiangliang.
The monthly salary at Shenglong Inn is only three hundred coins, much less than that at Jinyi Inn.
Besides, if she could do some work for Jinyi, she could also help steam buns and cook, and she could see Jinyi often.
Although he is disabled and stupid, he is handsome and rich!
While thinking about how to make sure Zhang Xiangliang could never work in Shenglong, he kept walking.
When she arrived at Shenglong Inn, the waiter at the door didn't recognize her and blinked: "Are you staying at the hotel?"
Ye Ting pinched the corner of her clothes and said, "I, I'm looking for my man."
"What are you doing here looking for a man? This is an inn."
"My man is Zhang Xiangliang."
"Oh, the new stable boy?"
"I don't know what he's here for. He said he's working here."
The boy said, "Wait a minute, I'll call someone for you right away."
Ye Ting was waiting at the door, looking around the inn curiously.
From a distance, she saw two people standing on the second floor of the inn. Their clothes and appearance were the same as the group of horsemen she had seen on her way back.
After a while, Zhang Xiangliang came running out of the stable. He had changed into the inn's servant's clothes.
"Tingting, I have decided to work for Manager Sheng." Zhang Xiangliang did not allow Ye Ting to refuse and told her that he had agreed to Manager Sheng's offer.
Ye Ting burst into tears and said, "You never listen to what I say. My brother and sister-in-law never listened to me before. My words never carry any weight..."
"Don't cry... I'm fine in the inn."
Zhang Xiangliang hurriedly coaxed her, whispering in her ear, "Today a distinguished person came, and that person rewarded me with one or two taels of silver."
I just started working and I received a reward of one or two taels of silver!
Ye Ting was suddenly excited and immediately did some calculation in her mind.
Xiang Liang earned three hundred coins a month, which is only three thousand six hundred coins a year, which is equivalent to about three and a half taels of silver. This noble man gave him one tael at once, which is three and a half months' salary!
"Then you should work hard and don't rush home." Without saying anything, she asked him to leave and took the one or two taels of silver that Zhang Xiangliang had earned. The couple understood each other tacitly.
Ye Ting went back and met Sister Lin again at the door of her house. She looked angry when Ye Ting left, but came back with a smile on her face.
He smiled and joked, "Xiang Liang's family, did you find a gold ingot? Are you so happy?"
Ye Ting didn't mention the reward, she said evasively: "I have nothing to do in the winter, any money I can get is good."
Sister Lin gossiped, “It’s tiring to stay in an inn, but if you meet a noble person, you can reach great heights overnight.
My mother's family had a neighbor, the boy was only fifteen years old, he liked to sing a little song, he used to feed horses in the inn, one day a nobleman came, he had no other hobbies but to listen to a little wild song, the nobleman rewarded the boy with ten taels every time he sang. Guess what happened later?"
Ye Ting looked at her eagerly and asked, "What's the matter?"
"That nobleman liked the songs he sang. After listening to him for a few days, he fell in love with him. He said he had no children and wanted to adopt the neighbor's child as his adopted son. Now the child is less than 20 years old, and his adoptive father has passed away. He has left all his wealth to him. He drives a luxury car, wears brocade clothes, and wears gold and silver. He is a rich man that everyone envies."
A noble man, an adopted son, a fortune...a rich master!
Ye Ting instantly figured out Zhang Xiangliang's advancement chain.
Nobleman——Adopted son——Rich master——Rich master’s wife!!
She is the one at the top of the chain because Zhang Xiangliang listens to her in everything.
Zhang Xiangliang was supposed to come back at You time, but he came back at Xu time.
As soon as he entered the door, he handed her ten taels of silver.
Ye Ting's eyes widened. Ten taels of silver! !
She weighed it in her hand, and was so excited that she was about to cry. She asked, "Or is it a reward?"
"Yes!"
Ye Ting hurriedly brought the boiled hot water and soaked his feet.
"Xiang Liang, you've worked hard. Let me massage your feet."
"Tingting, you don't have to work so hard."
Here it comes, here it comes, the noble man has come, the rich master has begun...
"Those nobles are probably from Xingqing Prefecture." Zhang Xiangliang whispered, "They should be very wealthy people."
"Why did they reward you so much? You can't sing." Ye Ting thought of Sister Lin's neighbor, the rich man who was appreciated by the nobles because of his folk singing.
"Hmm? No need to sing a song. Your Excellency didn't say he wanted to listen to any music."
"Then the noble man rewarded you for nothing?"
"They called me over and asked if I was an old resident of the town and asked me about the Trefford family, but after listening for a while I realized that they wanted to ask about Jin Yi."
"The cripple?"
"Well, they asked me where all the Cui family members were, and I said they were all dead."
He told those people everything that happened three months ago.
Those people asked him where the brocade clothes were?
Zhang Xiangliang thought that everyone knew where Jinyi lived, so he did not hide it and told the other party where Jinyi lived.
Then, the other party gave him a reward of ten taels of silver.
On the way back, Zhang Xiangliang thought more and more that something was wrong. What were those people doing? Could they be Jin Yi's family?
Ye Ting was a little disappointed. Listening to music is the ladder to heaven!
A nobleman came, but he didn't come to adopt Zhang Xiangliang as his adopted son, but to look for the brocade clothes?
Jinyi is not from this town, so it is possible that this nobleman is Jinyi's family member.
"What else did they say?" Ye Ting asked anxiously, "Didn't they say they wanted to listen to some music, like some local wild tunes?"
Zhang Xiangliang was very puzzled. Since entering the room, Ye Ting had been asking him whether the other party asked him to sing a song and what did it mean?
Ye Ting whispered, "It is said that many nobles want to know about the wild fun in the countryside when they arrive there, so I asked you."
Zhang Xiangliang didn't know whether to laugh or cry. The water under his feet was cold. He wiped his feet and said, "Let's go to sleep. Your Excellency's affairs are none of our business."
The bed began to creak and shake.
*
The courtyard where Yin Jinan and Jiutian live.
There is one person standing on each side of the courtyard wall, east and west.
Both of them were wearing black nightgown and black veils.
There was no sound in the yard. They listened for a long time, but there was no one in the yard.
The man on the east wall had a stone in his hand and hit it on the wooden door with a "bang". In the middle of the night, the sound was quite loud.
But there was still no movement in the house.
The two of them jumped into the yard with confidence. Not finding anything there, they wanted to go into the main house.
However, they were within a distance of ten feet around the main room, and no matter how hard they tried, they could not get any closer.
There was an invisible barrier blocking them from moving forward.
The two men took out a tinder and lit a torch. They could even see the door lock clearly, but they couldn't get close.
Evil door!
The two men put out the fire by putting the torches in a water tank, then jumped back to the inn.
"Master." The man in black called softly at the door.
"Come in."
The door opened and people went in.
The young nobleman in splendid clothes looked at the two and asked, "What's up?"
"My Lord, there is no one in the yard, but there is something strange."
"Ok?"
"You can enter the courtyard, but you are not allowed to get within three feet of the main house."
The two men in black explained that there was an invisible barrier in the yard.
"Is there someone protecting him?" The superior master said with a cold look in his eyes, "You guys, search the whole town and listen for any strange howling or hitting sounds."
Just as the man in black was about to leave, the young nobleman said, "If you can't find him tonight, ask the groom at the inn tomorrow. He seems to be very familiar with the man."
"Yes!"
The young man held the teacup and silently used the lid to stir the tea leaves. Today was a full moon night, if that person was not dead, there would definitely be movement.
Now it was past midnight and not only was there no movement in the entire town, but one couldn't even enter the yard.
Did he die? Did he move away? Did he have a master to protect him? Or did the groom lie?
In the middle of the night, a heavy snow fell, which lasted from the early morning of the 16th to the morning of the 17th.
The yard in the alley was covered in snow half a foot thick. No one cleaned the yard, and no one went in or out.
