Daiyu from the Red Mansion is also arguing with people today

Daiyu also mentioned in passing the recent cleaning out of redundant staff in the mansion, and then handed the lead of the topic to Tanchun.

Tanchun has recently been learning how to manage household from Li Wan and Wang Xifeng, and has gained a lot. She no longer feels the nervousness she had a few days ago when she was just starting out and was pushed to the front.

Xichun and Shi Xiangyun were so fascinated by Tanchun's talk about her experience and interesting stories as a housekeeper that they fell asleep soon.

Daiyu moved the three of them together, and seeing Yingchun was still awake, she asked, "I'm going to go out and lie down, how about you?"

Yingchun thought about it and nodded: "Then I will go too. I just need to report what happened in the Jia Mansion to the young master."

The two of them changed their clothes together tacitly.

Daiyu took Yingchun and passed the guards, asking them to let her into the yard later.

After the two separated, Daiyu walked to a corner, applied some makeup on her face, and then went to Dai's Escort Agency.

It didn't take her much effort to find He Zhengyang in a corner of the outer courtyard of the escort agency.

He was squatting there, looking at something.

Daiyu squatted down beside him silently and asked in a low voice: "What are you looking at?"

Unexpectedly, her voice seemed a little abrupt in the silent and deserted night.

Five or six people soon gathered around the two men. Daiyu covered her forehead with regret and quickly took out her escort agency ID card with her other hand. She waved it in front of them and said to the leader, "I want to see your boss."

All the escort officers above the rank of team leader in the escort agency have seen the portrait on the identity card in Daiyu's hand.

The leader was the team leader of this small team. He naturally recognized him and immediately bowed and said, "Sir, I will take you there right away!"

Although the other team members were curious, the escort agency had strict discipline, so they did not dare to ask too much and continued to perform their patrol mission.

He Zhengyang thought that if he was discovered, he would definitely be kicked out of the escort agency, and the test set by his master would have failed.

I didn't expect that the team leader would be so respectful to the Master, even addressing her as "Young Master"!

Who is the Master?

It didn't take long for Daiyu and Huang Yongjin to solve the mystery for him.

Daiyu, led by the team leader, came to the innermost courtyard. Huang Yongjin was awakened, hurriedly put on his coat, and came to the main hall.

"Sir, why are you here at this time?"

When Huang Yongjin saw Daiyu, he immediately saluted with his fists clasped, then walked naturally to the seat on the right and sat down.

The team leader also tactfully retreated. Only He Zhengyang was left in the main hall. He stood there stupidly, watching Daiyu and Huang Yongjin talking familiarly.

"How is it? I win this round, right?" Daiyu was a little proud and winked at He Zhengyang, "You should sit down too! Don't stand here, you're blocking the light!"

"oh oh!"

He Zhengyang finally woke up from his dream. He sat in the position below Huang Yongjin, but when he saw the two men looking at him with smiles, he couldn't help but wonder if he was sitting in the wrong position.

Daiyu felt that if she didn't help He Zhengyang to resolve his doubts, this big fool might start to doubt his life.

So she said, "I didn't know you before, but I thought you were new to Shenjing City and unfamiliar with the place, so I wanted to give you a place to stay. This was also a test for you. If you pass my test, it's not impossible to take you as my disciple."

"Really?" He Zhengyang stood up excitedly and paced back and forth in front of the chair, completely forgetting that Daiyu's words had a premise.

Daiyu suppressed her smile and said, "Shouldn't you first introduce yourself to us?"

He Zhengyang's excitement cooled down instantly. He sat back in his chair, struggling with his conscience, not knowing whether he should tell the truth.

Finally, he gritted his teeth and said, "My name is indeed He Zhengyang, and my father is the commander of the Hanzhong Guard. I ran away because I was angry with my family.

I was originally planning to go to my cousin in the capital, but then my sword was stolen, and I…I felt ashamed to go, and I happened to meet Master…"

As He Zhengyang spoke, he secretly glanced at Daiyu, trying to guess her thoughts from the expression on her face.

Seeing that Daiyu didn't respond for a long time after he finished speaking, He Zhengyang couldn't help but start to worry. Could it be that the master knew that he was the son of an official and was worried that he would betray her?

Thinking of this, he raised two fingers and swore to the sky: "I, He Zhengyang, will never tell anyone about my master or the affairs of the escort agency. If I break this oath, then... God will strike me with lightning and I will die a miserable death!"

Daiyu was just searching for the location of Hanzhong Prefecture in the system, but was startled by his sudden shout.

She said with a smile: "Alright, alright, I'm just thinking about the location of Hanzhong Prefecture, why are you in such a hurry! You are so impatient, and it's your first time going out. You still have a lot to learn. Don't worry about becoming my disciple."

He Zhengyang thought he had no hope at all, but Daiyu's words gave him great encouragement.

"Master! Do you mean that I can still take you as my master?"

"First of all, you must not do anything that harms the escort agency or leaks its internal affairs. As for becoming my disciple, that depends on your performance. You should first learn the basic skills in the escort agency, and then go on a few escort missions with the escort agency. When you are able to take charge on your own, we can talk about becoming my disciple."

"Yes! Master!"

When He Zhengyang heard that there was still hope, he immediately grinned, and the corners of his mouth almost reached his earlobes.

Daiyu couldn't bear to see him being so silly, so she waved her hand and said, "Go back and have a rest. You have passed the previous test. By the way, please report the information you got before to Huang Biaotou sometime."

"Yes! I'll go back now! Master, you should also go to bed early!" He Zhengyang retreated and turned around, but unexpectedly he stumbled over the threshold.

Under the helpless gaze of Daiyu and Huang Yongjin, he turned around and ran away quickly, as if he was afraid that Daiyu would go back on her word.

Huang Yongjin looked at He Zhengyang's back and asked Daiyu in confusion, "Sir, what is your intention in accepting this He Zhengyang?"

Daiyu pulled up a map in the system, moved the scope to the southwest, and said, "In our dynasty, the guards are generally hereditary. Unless they have committed a serious crime or are too incompetent, the position of commander can be passed on to the next generation.

Shaanxi Province borders Sichuan, and Hanzhong Prefecture is adjacent to Baoning Prefecture. Although there are many mountains over there, there are dense water networks. We can take advantage of this and expand to the southwest.

I think He Zhengyang's father would not be hostile to us because we helped him train his son. What's more, we are doing legitimate business, which is beneficial to him and not harmful."

Huang Yongjin didn't expect that Daiyu could easily know the maps and water trends of thousands of miles away, and he couldn't help but admire his master's erudition.

He suggested: "It just so happens that the route that Lingxiao Escort Agency often runs is the northwest line. We can send some people to follow the escort vehicles of Lingxiao Escort Agency to explore the northwest, and by the way, we can also find out the details of Hanzhong Prefecture."
