Lin San? Servant selection contest? Lin Wanrong almost fainted. He couldn't even use his real name, and he still had to be called Lin San? What kind of joke was this servant selection competition? There was a selection contest to recruit a servant?
Uncle Wei saw through Lin Wanrong's thoughts and said with a smile, "A name is just a symbol. I believe you don't want your name, Lin Wanrong, to appear in the list of servants in the Xiao Family. Lin San is more casual. As for the servant selection contest, you don't need to care about what it is for. Remember my words, you have to be a servant in the Xiao Family. However, it seems that there will be many people competing with you for this position. You have to work hard and don't let others steal your job. "
Lin Wanrong just remembered that when Uncle Wei left, his meal ticket would be gone, and he had to start supporting himself. According to what he said, it was Old Man Wei who found a job for him to be a servant? Unfortunately, although Lin Wanrong didn't care about this broken job, there were still a lot of people who coveted it. If he didn't work hard, he might not even be able to pass the exam to be a servant. That would be really embarrassing.
However, it was unknown who came up with the idea of holding a job fair to select a few servants, but this idea wasn't just any ordinary lousy one.
While Lin Wanrong was pondering, Uncle Wei had already walked far away. Lin Wanrong chased him out of the door, but he couldn't see his shadow anymore. This blind old man's footsteps were really fast.
Lin Wanrong had to face reality at this time. If he was still a man, he would pay attention to his promise and honestly go to the Xiao Family to be a servant for a year.
In any case, it was only for a year. He would just take it as training in a pig's nest for a year. As for what the old man said about making a career for himself, it was pure nonsense. If he went to the eldest son of the Xiao Family and said, "Boss, I want to make a career for myself, I'm sure he would be beaten up."
After figuring this out, Lin Wanrong felt a lot more relaxed. As long as he passed that so-called servant selection and fooled around for a year, he would be free.
The so-called servant selection competition was equivalent to a "job fair". Thinking that he would have to look for a job at the job fair again, Lin Wanrong laughed mischievously in his heart. How shameful, how shameful, he had to start earning money again.
Since he was seriously injured that day, Lin Wanrong didn't think about anything else and just stayed at home to rest.
The house left behind by Uncle Wei was a small thatched hut. The furnishings in the room were extremely simple. Apart from two beds, there were only some classical books. Lin Wanrong casually flipped through the books and found that there were actually quite a few books from the Imperial Palace. He didn't know where Uncle Wei had stolen them from.
Lin Wanrong's mood had now calmed down. He was still a little curious about this world that he had come to, so he opened these books and started reading. Although the ancient Chinese and traditional characters had to be read vertically, which made Lin Wanrong dizzy, in order not to become an "illiterate" in this era, Lin Wanrong had no choice but to struggle on.
In the era of Lin Wanrong, the war between Chu and Han at the end of the Qin Dynasty ended with Xiang Yu, the Hegemon, cutting his own throat in the River Wu. But in this world, it was Xiang Yu who won. He killed Liu Bang with a saber and established the powerful Great Chu. Xiang Yu and Yu Ji became the founding emperor and queen of the Great Chu.
History forked here. Lin Wanrong had indeed come to another space. This space was the same as the one Lin Wanrong had come to before, it truly existed. It was just like a great river, except that there were different tributaries.
Since Liu Bang was destroyed in this space, the development of history in this space was completely different from that of Lin Wanrong. Over the past thousand years, China had been in constant disputes. After the Great Chu, there were more than a dozen dynasties. It was not until a hundred years ago that the emperor surnamed Zhao established the powerful China Dynasty. The dynasty before China was called the Great Song Dynasty. Coincidentally, the corruption and incompetence of the Great Song Dynasty here were almost exactly the same as the Great Song Dynasty that Lin Wanrong was familiar with.
And when the space was transferred, time was reversed. So, Lin Wanrong had returned to the age of eighteen or nineteen, but his mind was still at the age of twenty-five.
In a word, not only did Lin Wanrong return to the age of eighteen or nineteen, but he had also come to this strange space, which could be said to be a whole new world.
Lin Wanrong had a vague feeling that the magical event that had happened to him seemed to be a crossing of different time and different space. This might be an important proof to crack this multi-dimensional world. Unfortunately, he could no longer go back. Let's leave these groundless worries for more Einsteins to crack their skulls.
Lin Wanrong sighed with emotion for a while, then stopped thinking about it and continued to study history. He spent the day reading diligently. Lin Wanrong was lost in the sea of books, and he didn't even feel the pain from the wound on his shoulder.
After a good night's sleep, when he got up the next morning, his internal organs, which were injured by Xiao Qingxuan, no longer hurt faintly. The purplish-blue color on his shoulder also faded. As Old Man Wei said, this little poison was not enough to kill him.
He didn't know what kind of medicine Old Man Wei used on Lin Wanrong, but the wound on his shoulder had already scabbed. It was much better than the surgical suture that Lin Wanrong had seen in his time. When he had time, he must get some more as a backup.
After dressing up, Lin Wanrong was quite satisfied with his handsome appearance in the bronze mirror. Although the cloth shoes on his feet were still open, Lin Wanrong did not care. Lin Wanrong, who judged people by their appearance, disdained to talk to him. Besides, his character and appearance were definitely not bad. It was just that his dressing was a little shabby.
He went out of the door and wandered on the street for a while. To be honest, Lin Wanrong was not very familiar with this Jin Ling city. The only place he had been to a few times was the Xuanwu Lake, which was not far from his residence. Lin Wanrong had never seen the direction of the Xiao Family's doorway.
After eating two fried dough sticks and drinking a big bowl of soybean milk on the street, Lin Wanrong could not help but pat his bulging belly. In this world, there was no such thing as gutter oil or moldy soybeans. It was all real green food. He casually threw three copper coins and shouted that there was no need to keep the change. Then he walked forward with his cloth shoes.
After walking a few steps, he remembered that he did not know where the Xiao Family was. He pulled an uncle next to him and said, "Uncle, may I ask —"
The uncle directly interrupted Lin Wanrong and handed something to Lin Wanrong, "Is it to participate in the Xiao Family's servant selection exam? Hey, this is the road map, five copper coins for one. What, you want one for one copper coin? Little brother, you are too ruthless, the cost is not even enough. It is at least three copper coins. Okay, okay, small profits but quick turnover, two copper coins for two. "
Lin Wanrong took out two copper coins and gave it to him. He received the two thin road maps and then asked, "Uncle, this Xiao Family's servant selection exam is on such a large scale, and it seems to be very popular. Is this job really that good?"
Because of the two copper coins, the uncle opened his mouth and said, "Little brother, you just came from outside the city, right? Ai, you also know, in this day and age, it is not easy to find a job. The Xiao Family was a famous big family in Jin Ling city. Although the situation in the past two years was not as good as before, but a starving camel is still bigger than a horse. The treatment of their servants was very good. Even the lowest level servant had a monthly salary of one tael and five silver coins, not to mention the middle and senior servants. Moreover, during the festival, there was also a red packet, the welfare was also very rich. Therefore, the number of people signing up was endless. Let me tell you, from this morning until now, I have received no less than a hundred people. All of them were young lads like you. There were also a lot of romantic scholars, just like you, they also want to sign up. "
