A fellow walked over from the other side. Just like Lin Wanrong, he wore a brand-new green robe with the word "Xiao" embroidered on his left sleeve. Eh? Could this fellow be a fellow from the Xiao Family's courtyard?
"Brother — —" The two of them went up together and shouted at the same time.
The guy was pleasantly surprised. He cupped his hands and said, "Brother, are you also a new servant of the Xiao Family this year?"
"Yes, yes." Lin Wanrong smiled and pretended to be enthusiastic.
"Me too. It seems that we can also be considered as Jinshi of the same rank. My apologies." This guy was a real bookworm. After a few words, he couldn't stop talking. This should be the kind of person that the three old men said was very honest and could guard the warehouse.
"Entering" the same rank was true. Lin Wanrong always had a strong desire to form a clique. Seeing that he could meet a comrade on the road, he was naturally happy. He hurriedly cupped his hands and said, "Well said, well said. May I know your name, brother?"
The honest guy said modestly, "I don't dare. My first name is Qiao, and my first name is Feng. After entering the family, Madam Meng gave me the surname Xiao, so now I am called Xiao Feng. "
Damn, Lin Wanrong almost fell to the ground. Qiao Feng? Xiao Feng? How dare such a wretched guy call himself such a hero? If the king of the Southern Courtyard, Xiao Feng, knew about this, he would have hit his head on the ground.
"So, it's Brother Xiao Feng. I've heard a lot about you." After entering the Xiao Family, everyone had the surname Xiao. It was difficult to distinguish them by calling each other Xiao, so he called Xiao Feng Brother.
"May I know your name?" Xiao Feng asked excitedly.
"My name is Lin San," Lin Wanrong said with a smile. From now on, Lin San was his code name.
"Hey, Brother Lin, could it be that you didn't know that after entering the Xiao Family, we were all bestowed with the surname Xiao? You should be called Xiao San," Bookworm Xiao Feng said with a deadpan expression.
Seeing that this bookworm was indeed somewhat cute, Lin Wanrong told him about his status as a contract employee. Bookworm Xiao Feng slapped his thigh and said, "Aiya, Brother Lin, you're so silly."
"How am I confused?" Lin Wanrong asked curiously.
"Do you know how many people fight for the position of Xiao Family's servant? Once you entered the Xiao Family, it was equivalent to holding a golden rice bowl in your hands, and you wouldn't have to worry about it for the rest of your life. How could you give up such a good opportunity? No, no, I'll help you plead with the housekeeper. Let him talk to the madams and ladies, and change your position to a lifelong one. "
Although this Xiao Feng was a bookworm, he had some loyalty. Not bad, in the future in the Xiao Family's courtyard, I'll protect him. Lin Wanrong smiled and patted his shoulder. "Brother Xiao Feng, it's okay, it's okay. I'm only doing this to be happy and carefree. I don't want anything else. I'm much more flexible than you guys. How about this, in the future when you're in the Xiao Family's courtyard, if you have any problems, come to me. "
Seeing that Lin Wanrong was so free and easy, Xiao Feng could only sigh with regret, and didn't try to persuade him anymore.
The two chatted and laughed, and went straight to the Xiao Family. On the way, Lin Wanrong found out that this Xiao Feng was a poor child in the east of Jin Ling city. His father was a scholar who didn't enter the top ten rankings, so the son he taught was also extremely pedantic.
However, this Xiao Feng was kind, honest, and wouldn't snitch, which was quite in line with Lin Wanrong's taste.
Lin Wanrong and Xiao Feng arrived at the entrance of the Xiao Family's courtyard, and saw two fierce-looking servants standing at the door, with a fierce look on their faces.
Lin Wanrong was very experienced, and with just one look, he understood what was going on.
This was the old servants showing off their power to the new servants, just like when the new students reported, the old students always wanted to show off their power.
Naturally, Lin Wanrong wasn't a good person. When he was a new student, he didn't see any old students take advantage of him. He pulled Xiao Feng and went to the front door.
Xiao Feng hurriedly pulled his hand and said, "Brother Lin, where are you going?"
Lin Wanrong said, "Where else can we go? Of course, we are going to enter through the door."
"No, brother Lin, we are new students, and it's our first day to report, so we should go through that door." Xiao Feng said, pointing to an extremely low door next to them.
Lin Wanrong looked at the small door, and it was only half a person's height, not much better than the dog hole. Before the two of them came, the servants had to bend their waist, and even their hands were on the ground before they could enter.
"Dog hole? You mean you want us to go through the dog hole? "Lin Wanrong's eyes widened, and his heart was thundering with anger.
Xiao Feng looked at him strangely, and said, "Brother Lin, what are you saying? This door is so big that two dogs can walk through it side by side. It's much better than the dog hole."
Can walk through the dog hole of two dogs side by side? Xiao Feng's words were unintentional, but Lin Wanrong was listening attentively. An unknown anger rose in his heart, and just as he was about to explode, he heard Xiao Feng continue, "Besides, brother Lin, it's not like you don't know the rules of being a servant. On the first day a new servant enters the door, it's the same no matter which household they go to. "
"Rules, what rules?" Lin Wanrong said snappily, "Don't tell me going through the dog hole is also a rule?"
Xiao Feng smiled embarrassedly, and said, "When all new servants come to report, they have to go through this small door. The meaning is that once they enter this door, they will be a servant, and they will always be a class lower than others. Don't look at those two big brothers standing at the door, they must have entered through this door when they first entered the door. Not only the Xiao Family, but all the servants of the noble families are like this. But it's only this once, in the future you can enter and exit from the side door. "
So this dog hole was specially used to teach new servants to remember their status. Although it was only this once, but this one time was enough to brand a person with a brand of shame for the rest of his life.
Lin Wanrong's heart was burning with anger, he was here to work, not to go through the dog hole. He raised his eyebrows, and pulled Xiao Feng, and said, "Brother, don't go there, come with me to the front door."
"No, no, brother Lin, I'm not like you. You can come and go freely, without any worries, but I can't be as free and easy as you. This job is very important to me, my family depends on me to earn money to support them. Besides, all the rich and powerful families in the world are like this, no matter where they go, they can't escape this fate. Brother Lin, I, I'll go in now. "
After he finished speaking, he let go of Lin Wanrong's hand, ran to the short hole, and slowly went in. Then he turned his head to look at Lin Wanrong, his eyes were full of tears.
Lin Wanrong didn't look down on Xiao Feng, he could understand Xiao Feng's feelings. They were different from him, because they grew up in this world, they were familiar with the rules of this world, they thought that everything was natural, so there were many more restrictions, they could only do things according to the rules. For Xiao Feng, this kind of life might be very tiring, but this was his fate, no one could change it.
Lin Wanrong understood Xiao Feng's way of doing things, so he gave him a friendly smile.
Xiao Feng saw that he didn't look down on him, hurriedly wiped his tears in embarrassment, and called out from the door, "brother Lin, come in quickly."
Lin Wanrong shook his head, go through the dog hole? What a joke! A real man kneels to the heavens, to the earth, and to his parents, his waist is used to support the heaven and earth, how can he bend his waist for three buckets of rice?
He gave Xiao Feng a reassuring look, and then strode towards the front door.
