The next morning, as soon as Lin Wanrong woke up, he saw Uncle Fu sneaking in. He looked around nervously and said, "Lin San, are you alright?"
Lin Wanrong shook his head and said, "No, I'm fine. I had a good night's sleep. Oh yeah, the dog meat smelled really good."
Uncle Fu swallowed his saliva with difficulty and said, "Lin San, don't blame me for not reminding you. Don't be careless. That's General Weiwu we're talking about. It's not that simple. "
"Uncle Fu, what do you mean?" Lin Wanrong said.
"Oh, nothing, nothing. I'm just a little regretful that I left too early yesterday. I didn't have time to taste those delicacies. It's such a pity." Not having time to taste those delicacies, Uncle Fu naturally meant that he wanted to distance himself from this matter.
"Oh yeah, Lin San, from today onwards, I'll teach you some gardening techniques." Uncle Fu saw that Lin Wanrong still wanted to ask. He thought of that person's means and his face changed. He quickly changed the topic.
Lin Wanrong saw that Uncle Fu's expression wasn't right, so he asked a few more questions about the evil dog and the evil woman. Uncle Fu kept changing the topic as if he was extremely afraid of this woman. This made Lin Wanrong even more confused.
Seeing that Uncle Fu didn't want to talk about that person, Lin Wanrong couldn't think of a good idea at the moment. He could only follow behind Uncle Fu and listen to him talk about the flowers and plants in the garden. Uncle Fu had been studying flowers and plants for more than thirty years and was extremely experienced. With just a few words, even an amateur like Lin Wanrong, who knew nothing about growing flowers and plants, felt that she had gained a lot of knowledge.
"Uncle Fu, I can see that you're very familiar with flowers and plants. Not to mention this Xiao Family, I'm afraid there aren't many people in Jin Ling city who can compare with you." Lin Wanrong said with admiration. This was not flattery, it was a real compliment.
"There are countless people with special skills in the world. I've been planting for a long time. As the saying goes, practice makes perfect. I'm not proficient." Uncle Fu said humbly, "But in this Jin Ling city, there are only a few people who are proficient with flowers and plants. I've visited them before." Pride flashed on Uncle Fu's face. Obviously, he was also very confident in his skills.
"Then Uncle Fu, have you seen this kind of tree before?" Lin Wanrong remembered the day when he led Dong Qingshan and the others to fight outside the city. It seemed to be familiar to him, so he roughly described its appearance. Uncle Fu was the authority in this area, so he should know more about it.
After listening to his description, Uncle Fu was silent for a long time, then he said, "Lin San, I have never seen this kind of tree before. How about you take me to see it when you have time?"
Lin Wanrong said with a bitter face, "Uncle Fu, your status in this Xiao Family is very high. You can come and go as you please. I'm just a low-ranking servant. How can I be as free as you?"
"That's true." Uncle Fu nodded his head and said, "I can have this status today because of the trust of the old master and the young madam. Lin San, as long as you work hard, you will definitely reach my level one day. By the way, tell me where you saw the tree in the south of the city. It's not convenient for you to see it. I'll go check it myself tomorrow. "
Lin Wanrong originally wanted to gain more freedom through Uncle Fu. After all, he was a new servant in the Xiao Family. If he wanted to go in and out of the house, it would be very difficult without the approval of the chief steward. And judging from his relationship with Steward Wang, it was already letting him off easy that Steward Wang didn't make things difficult for him. How could he let him go in and out of the house so easily?
"Uncle Fu, I was born to work hard. I always like to travel around. If I stay in the house all day, it will be hard for me to get used to it." Lin Wanrong said boldly. He was certain that he was to Uncle Fu's liking. That was why he dared to be so bold. If it was another servant, they wouldn't even dare to think about it, let alone raise such an outrageous idea.
Uncle Fu looked deeply at Lin Wanrong and said, "Lin San, do you not want me, Xiao Fu, to be a servant?"
"Yes, oh, no." Lin Wanrong hurriedly changed his words. "Since I came to the Xiao Family, whether it's voluntary or not, I have to do my job well. This is professional ethics." Lin Wanrong's words were ambiguous. When others heard it, they didn't know whether he was voluntary or forced.
"Professional ethics? I've never heard of this word. What does it mean? "Uncle Fu asked curiously.
"Oh, it means that I took the salary of the Xiao Family, so I have to do my best for the Xiao Family. This is called professional ethics." Lin Wanrong hurriedly explained.
Uncle Fu sighed and said, "Lin San, even if you don't say it, I can see that you are a flexible and witty person. If you don't come to the Xiao Family as a servant, you will definitely have great achievements. Perhaps you have your own difficulties in coming to the Xiao Family. But as you said, since you took the salary given by Madam and Young Miss, you have to do your best for the Xiao Family. I have stayed in the Xiao Family all my life. This is the place where I will die. I hope you can sincerely help the Xiao Family. "
Uncle Fu's words were sincere and sincere. Lin Wanrong was also a little embarrassed. He had to smile and said, "Uncle Fu, what are you talking about? I am now a servant of the Xiao Family. Of course, I will do my best to do things for the Xiao Family. As for helping the Xiao Family, you think too highly of me. I am just a servant. What can I do? "
Uncle Fu said meaningfully, "Lin San, our Xiao Family seems to be prosperous, but this is the surface situation. In fact, the Xiao Family is now in a very difficult situation. Alas, you can slowly understand this. To be honest, when I first saw you, I felt that you would be able to help the Xiao family. Although you haven't studied much, you are able to speak eloquently. You are quick-witted and quick-witted. You are indeed a rare talent. "
Hearing Uncle Fu's words, "I have not read any books but can speak eloquently." Lin Wanrong didn't know whether to laugh or cry. After all, he was a top student of a famous university. Why did Uncle Fu say that he had not read any books? But he accepted the last two sentences calmly. This was his strength, so he didn't need to be bashful.
"I only hope that Madam and Grand Mistress can discover your talent as soon as possible and let you play your strengths to help the Xiao Family out of their predicament. This is also my biggest wish before I die."
As Uncle Fu spoke, his expression became a little gloomy. He had been a servant in the Xiao Family all his life, so he had deep feelings for the Xiao Family. The Xiao Family was his home. In any case, he didn't want to see the Xiao Family decline. Unfortunately, although he had a certain status in the Xiao Family, he was a servant after all. He had no right to intervene in the big affairs of the Xiao Family. With his ability, he could only make Lin Wanrong condescend to be his subordinate. If he wanted to introduce Lin Wanrong to the masters of the Xiao Family, it would depend on Lin Wanrong's own efforts.
Seeing that the old man was a little sad, Lin Wanrong understood his thoughts and was also touched by his loyalty. He had served the Xiao Family all his life, and he was still so considerate of the Xiao Family in his old age. Uncle Fu had done his best. Lin Wanrong looked down on the old man a little less and respected him more.
