chance world

Ding Qiyu greeted the guests to sit down, Aunt He asked Lian Er to pour water for the guests, Lian Er looked at Ding Qiyu's back and squeezed her fists, and had to obey the order.

"You don't need to call me a hero, just call me Qi Yu or A Yu. Anyone passing by who saw the incident like the day before yesterday would take action. How can we talk about whether to thank you or not?" Ding Qiyu also sat down and took the tool bag. Take it off, put it on the table, and put the flying arrow on the table into the cloth bag.

"Okay, I'll call you Brother Yu! You can also call me Weiming." Lu Weiming has a good impression of this good-looking young man in front of him, although Ding Qiyu had already been beaten unconscious when Ding Qiyu appeared before, and nothing happened. I saw it, but after hearing that the girl beside Weixi, Qing'er, spoke in a dazzling manner, he created an image of a heroic boy in his heart. When he saw a real person today, he felt that this little boy was generous, cheerful and amiable. He calls him brother.Lu Weiming admired great heroes like his father and elder brother since he was a child, but unfortunately, he really didn't have the slightest interest in learning martial arts, because of this, he was often taught by the general.Later, the general felt that it was too much for him to learn martial arts and the art of war, so he finally gave up, and he lived a comfortable and happy life as a noble son from then on.The day before yesterday, Lu Weiming and his sister came back from visiting relatives and friends. He felt that the accompanying servants were rigid and serious, and there was no freedom at all with him, so he made his own decision, took his sister to avoid several servants, and prepared to go home by himself.Unexpectedly, such a thing happened on the road, luckily I met Ding Qiyu, otherwise he would have committed a serious crime.

Ding Qiyu was slandering Lu Weiming's "brother Yu", when Lu Weiming excitedly pointed to the flying arrow in his hand and said, "Hey! That's how you saved us that day, right?" Lu Weiming Unming had a look of anticipation on his face.

As soon as the words fell, everyone's eyes turned to the flying arrow in Ding Qiyu's hand. Ding Qiyu had no choice but to pass the flying arrow to Lu Weiming, shook his head and said, "No, I made this two days ago. It's called Feijian." After searching for a while, he took out the short arrow and handed it to him, "I used this kind of ordinary short arrow that day."

Lu Weixi looked at Duanya thoughtfully, did he do it himself?Did he also make the weapon that shot the arrow that day?Even at Daddy's place, I have never seen such a unique weapon...

"Hehe, Brother Yu, you are so powerful, come to the General's Mansion to do something!" Lu Weiming handed back the two arrows to Ding Qiyu. According to Qing'er's story, he imagined that Ding Qiyu would use such a small arrow to drop it in an instant. With the heroic appearance of the three big men, he made up his mind to invite him to the general's mansion to do something.Brother and sister Lu Weiming discussed with the general. Rather than repaying Ding Qiyu directly with money, it is better to give Ding Qiyu a good job so that he can live without worrying about life and be under the protection of the general's mansion.

Hearing this, Aunt He and Lian Er focused their attention on Ding Qiyu. Ding Qiyu pursed his lips and said, "Eh, I'm just an apprentice carpenter. I don't have any other skills. What can I do in the General's Mansion?" Although the General's Mansion is definitely a very It's a good place to go, but Ding Qiyu really can't think of what kind of errands he can do there.

Lu Weiming smiled confidently: "Haha, you don't have to worry about this, Weixi and I have already made an agreement with daddy, the general's mansion has tens of thousands of households, and there are many merchants with good land under its jurisdiction. There is just a vacancy in Xingcheng. Brother Yu, if you wish, you can take office immediately!"

"What does the Inspectorate do?" Ding Qiyu asked.

Lu Weiming explained patiently: "In a nutshell, the inspector is responsible for daily supervision of the general's property, as well as rent collection, tax collection and other work. It won't be very hard, and the monthly fee is still high! Weixi and I think about it I really don't know how to thank you. It just so happens that this position must be filled by a trustworthy person, and everyone said that this is a fat job. Weixi and I discussed that you are very suitable. If you become a police officer Yes, it's better than being a small carpenter in Hejia Village, and it will definitely help the aunts and the others live a better life."

Aunt He accosted at the side: "But is our Ayu really capable? He is young, and he only knows a little bit of carpentry." Aunt He thinks this is a good record, but their Ayu Doing this kind of thing dealing with businessmen and officials at such a young age always feels unreliable.Lian Er remained silent, although the other party said that the conditions were very good, but she couldn't explain why, she just didn't want Ding Qiyu to work as an errand in the general's mansion.

"Auntie, you don't have to worry about this at all. Brother Yu will be under the protection of my General's Mansion from now on! He goes out to do errands as an envoy, whoever dares not to respect him is openly against the General's Mansion!" Lu Weiming patted his chest. Guaranteed, and added with a smile, "And don't be modest, ma'am, although Brother Yu is only an apprentice carpenter now, I dare say that he will make great achievements in the future!"

Everyone likes to hear people praise their children, and Aunt He is no exception, and she also thinks that her family, Ayu, will have a bright future, so she happily talks to Lu Weiming and stops talking, waiting for Ding Qiyu to think about it .

Ding Qiyu felt that this was indeed a good opportunity. According to Lu Weiming, this so-called "Reporter's Envoy" should be a good job. The work he does does not require any technical content, just go around and collect money. The name of the General's Mansion is popular everywhere.According to modern terms, it means that you can lie down comfortably and live like a "salted fish".But Ding Qiyu has her own goal, and what she values ​​more is what is behind it.If she accepts this job, on the one hand, with this stable and well-paid job, she will be able to make A Niang and Lian Er live a better life; on the other hand, she will be able to inspect Xingcheng merchants very convenient The level of development of wooden armor organs used in production and operation, Xingcheng belongs to the important city in the north, and the application of ingenious equipment by merchants in Xingcheng can largely represent the most advanced level of the cities in the northern regions of Qianguo.This is of great significance to Ding Qiyu's future design of wooden armor organs.Only by knowing what is in this world can we improve what is and create what is not.But……

"However, Xingcheng is too far away from home. If I take this errand, I will spend two hours on the road every day. In that case, I won't care much about home..." Ding Qiyu raised his own Biggest point of hesitation.

"We're fine. If you want to go, Ah Yu, you can go! Don't worry about family matters." Aunt He saw that Ding Qiyu actually wanted to go, and she didn't want him to be stuck in the village as a carpenter for the rest of his life. This good opportunity should not be passed up now. .

At this time, Lu Weixi suddenly said: "If you want, you, auntie, Miss He, and your family can all live in the general's mansion. There are many independent small courtyards in the mansion, and my brother and I have already arranged them for you before we come. One. In this way, the young master will have no worries."

"That's unnecessary." "No!" Before Ding Qiyu could say anything, Aunt He and Lian Er refused at the same time. They looked at each other, and Aunt He continued, "I've been used to it in the village for so many years. Go to the general's mansion to disturb me." If you don’t tell me, we might not get used to it. Thank you for your kindness.” To be honest, Aunt He really has deep feelings for Hejia Village, where she has lived all her life. Living in someone else's home is always uncomfortable.Lian Er felt that no place was better than home, and she was determined not to let this guy live in the General's Mansion!

"Yeah, just like A Niang said, it's too troublesome for you to move there." Ding Qiyu didn't want to live directly in the family's house either.

Seeing how the three insisted on disagreeing, Lu Weixi thought for a while, glanced at his brother, and had to make a compromise: "Then we will provide you with a carriage, so that you can travel to and from Xingcheng very quickly. Besides, you There is no limit to what merchants you go to or how many you go to every day, it’s all up to you to decide.”

With a carriage, you can get to Xingcheng in less than half an hour, and it only takes one hour to go back and forth every day. Ding Qiyu thinks this method is feasible, and it can basically achieve the balance between career and family. After thinking for a long time, he nodded and agreed to Lu Weixi's proposal , and got the job of Xingcheng's "recording envoy".

The negotiation was successful, and Ding Qiyu made an appointment with them to report to the General's Mansion one month later, so that he could have an explanation with Master He.Several people chatted happily again.Brother and sister Lu Weixi were about to leave, and Ding Qiyu naturally wanted to send them to the place where the carriage was parked.A few outsiders came from the village who looked like wealthy families. Along the way, many villagers ran out of their homes to watch.

Ding Qiyu bid farewell to Lu Weixi and Lu Weiming, watched the carriage leave the village, and the onlookers returned home after discussing and guessing. Ding Qiyu didn't notice that Lian'er's two uncles and aunts were also in the crowd, let alone his own. The back was almost burned out by some people's jealous eyes.

Back home, Aunt He was making clothes in the outer hall, but she didn't see Lian Er.Ding Qiyu dragged a small bench over to sit in front of Aunt He, looking up at her: "Mother, will you blame me? After being the envoy, I may spend less time at home."

Aunt He put down the work in her hands, patted her head lovingly, and said softly: "Didn't you often stay away from home before. Ah Yu, don't think too much, we all support you, do what you want to do. As long as you remember, no matter where you are, we will always be at home waiting for you to come back."

Ding Qiyu's eyes turned red instantly, thinking of the past few months together day and night, thinking of the warmth felt here, remembering that there used to be a place, which was also her home.She stretched out her hand to hold the aunt's hand, calmed down, and asked, "Where's Lian'er?"

"That girl..." Aunt He stared into Ding Qiyu's eyes, "Maybe it's like you said, you will spend less time at home in the future, so she is sulking by herself. I guess, especially you From now on, she won't eat the lunch she made at home at noon, and she will inevitably feel a little uncomfortable. She is resting inside."
