Chapter 197
?
The courtyards are full of flowers and plants. Even though it is already autumn, you can still see the shadows when the flowers are in full bloom.
This is the Xiao Mansion, exuding the aura of a famous family inside and out.
The bearded warrior arranged a good room for Ye Chen. Ye Chen wandered around the room, turned around and stared at the bearded warrior.
"Brother, my name is Du Zhigang, you can call me Xiao Du from now on." The bearded warrior said to Ye Chen with a smile.
"Xiao Du? Inappropriate, you are older than me, I should call you big brother!" Ye Chen waved his hand, not deliberately refusing.
"Brother, you are too polite. You are so outstanding at such a young age. In the future, I still count on you to take me with you to gain a firm foothold in Ping'an City." Du Zhigang said full of expectation.
Although Ping'an City is very large, it is really not easy to gain a firm foothold in Ping'an City.
"Oh, you've been in the Xiao Mansion for several years, right? Why haven't you gained a firm foothold in Ping'an City?" Ye Chen asked very curiously.
"Hey, I have stayed in the Xiao family for several years, but the Xiao family has hundreds of guards. What kind of onion am I? How can I gain a firm foothold in Ping'an City!" Du Zhigang sighed.
Ye Chen nodded thoughtfully. He really started his road to becoming a strong man after arriving in Ping'an City, and he couldn't help clenching his fists.
In the middle of the night, Xiao's mansion was already silent, only the guards who went back and forth hadn't rested yet, and even the moonlight was napping in the clouds.
After tossing and turning, Ye Chen still failed to fall asleep as he wished, so Ye Chen got out of bed and walked quickly to the door, and opened the door.
A faint fragrance came from not far away, Ye Chen walked out of the room and walked slowly along the direction of the fragrance.
Passing through a somewhat dark corridor, Ye Chen came to a yard, and in the middle of the yard was a towering tree with a history of hundreds of years.
The surroundings looked empty, and there were very few guards on patrol.
Ye Chen walked quickly to the side of the towering tree. He raised his head and looked up, and there was a young girl sitting on the branch with her brows furrowed.
Ye Chen stepped on his feet and jumped up onto the roof opposite the young girl. Since he has no sleep all night, he should find someone to talk to.
As a newcomer, he is not very familiar with everything in Ping'an City. If he wants to gain a firm foothold in Ping'an City, he must know more.
The young girl glanced at Ye Chen, then fell into deep thought again, not intending to chat with Ye Chen.
Ye Chen's mood could not help but calm down with the young girl, and the good mood of the past few days disappeared in an instant.
Ye Chen stared at the young girl. The young girl's skin was like snow, and her hair was hanging down her shoulders. The clothes she wore were very simple, but they couldn't cover up the radiance of the young girl's whole body.
The identity of a young girl must be very special, Ye Chen is very interested in getting to know her.
"Girl, you should be the maid in Xiao's mansion, right?" Ye Chen's voice broke the silence around him.
The young girl glanced at Ye Chen in disbelief, and then at her own attire. Although she was dressed plainly, how could she look like a maid?
The young girl wondered if there was something wrong with the young man's eyes, so she deliberately pretended she didn't hear anything and ignored it.
"Girl, I heard that Miss Xiao's family is one in a million beauties, is she really that pretty?" Ye Chen asked.
The young girl's eyes lit up in an instant, and she looked at Ye Chen again, thinking that Ye Chen might be the new guard of Xiao's residence.
"That's just a legend, you don't have to take it seriously." The young girl said lightly.
"Huh? If you say that about your master, aren't you afraid that she will punish you if she hears it?" Ye Chen raised his eyebrows and said.
"What are you afraid of? There is nothing to be afraid of. I am not afraid of anything!" the young girl said with her head held high.
"Hey, the only woman who can say that she is not afraid of heaven and earth in Xiao's mansion is the eldest lady of the Xiao family!" Ye Chen said with a smile.
"Okay, I'm a little sleepy, see you if you have a chance!" As soon as the voice fell, the young girl jumped up and disappeared from Ye Chen's sight.
Ye Chen really wanted to catch up and ask why she said goodbye by fate, but he soon figured it out, it was indeed the case.
He is just an ordinary guard in Xiao's residence, and she is the eldest lady of the Xiao family, and there is a very long distance between them.
Ye Chen sighed softly. He had only seen the most beautiful things in Ping An City on the first day he came to Ping An City.
In an instant, Ye Chen felt that his empty heart became full. This feeling made Ye Chen very excited and a little flustered.
When Ye Chen opened his eyes again, it was already the morning of the next day, and Ye Chen seemed to be wandering aimlessly in various courtyards of Xiao Mansion.
However, Ye Chen did not meet that person as he wished, and Ye Chen's good mood all day suddenly disappeared.
Ye Chen's memory still seems to be from last night, the moonlight, the fragrance, the trees, everything is beautiful.
It wasn't until Ye Chen heard a burst of arrogant footsteps that Ye Chen's thoughts were taken back by him, and he stopped walking.
After a while, a middle-aged man stood in front of Ye Chen. The middle-aged man raised his head and stared at Ye Chen with his nostrils.
The middle-aged man was very angry. He waited for a long time, but Ye Chen still didn't bow down to him. It's really disgusting!
The middle-aged man had no choice but to stare at Ye Chen with rounded eyes, trying to see exactly how many heads Ye Chen had grown.
To the disappointment of the middle-aged man, Ye Chen didn't have several heads, only one head, and it was an elm head.
At this time, more and more maidservants and servants of the Xiao Mansion stood on both sides to watch the fun, and the middle-aged man could not help but straighten his back.
"Boy, you should be the new guard of the Xiao Mansion, right? Why are you so ignorant of the rules?" The middle-aged man squinted at Ye Chen and said.
"Rules? Are you some kind of big shot?" Ye Chen asked.
"Hehe! My name is Sima Jin, and I am the city lord of Ping'an City!" The middle-aged man clenched his fists, looking very energetic!
It turned out that he was Sima Jin!Ye Chen raised his eyebrows, but he didn't show any shock on his face.
In a place like Xiao's Mansion, it's not uncommon to meet any big shots, and Ye Chen wasn't going to bow down to Sima Jin.
Ye Chen was worried that he would not have the opportunity to let his name appear in everyone's ears, maybe this is an excellent opportunity.
"Boy, are you deaf!" Sima Jin said furiously.
"My lord, no matter how much you want to show off your prestige, you still have to consider where this place is, right?" Ye Chen said.
"Hmph! You are just an ordinary guard in Xiao's mansion, you dare to talk to me like that, I have to let you know what is so high!" Sima Jin said with his eyes wide open.
