The only thing that made Lu Changning feel relieved was that he could recognize the characters in this world. With this advantage, Lu Changning's status among the servants in the Yu family was slightly improved.

Although his main job is still sweeping the streets with Xiao Maozi, the manager is now willing to let Lu Changning do some clerical work. Although his status has not been improved, at least he has shown his face in front of his master. Sooner or later, he will be reused.

Lu Changning had thought about leaving the Yu Mansion and finding another way to make a living, but after several days of investigation, he found that there was no way to survive outside.

The main plot of this world is the confrontation between several big families. The market resources have been divided up. Now, if you want to share a piece of the pie with them, it is like an egg hitting a stone. There is absolutely no chance of winning.

In this world, even setting up a street stall outside requires the approval of several big families. If you leave here, you have no money, no power, and no land, so the only way left is begging.

Moreover, Yu Miao was about to be taken to the Liu family. If he went out like this, it would take him a long time to finally make a name for himself. It was unknown whether Yu Miao would be alive or dead by then.

Therefore, after Lu Changning's calculations, he decided to stay at the Yu family temporarily, and then find out if there was a way to break the barrier. His current goal is to become the manager of the Yu family store. As long as he has a store, he can slowly start to develop his own power.

Therefore, it is right to curry favor with the masters in the Yu Mansion.

The head of the Yu family is away from home all year round and is rarely seen. Now the family is managed by Yu Miao's stepmother. The stepmother gave birth to a son and a daughter, both of whom are savage and cruel. In a house full of wolves, Yu Miao, a little white rabbit, was born.

As Lu Changning worked hard in the mansion, he gradually gained the trust of the steward. One day, he was actually called into the mistress's room by the steward.

There were three other people coming with Lu Changning, all of whom were selected for their thin physiques.

The mistress looked at the four people below and was quite satisfied: "The eldest young master has grown up, and he needs four more people to serve him. Are you four willing?"

Lu Changning was unsure of what this woman meant. She had absolutely no good intentions towards Miao, but why did she suddenly choose a servant today? There was only one possibility, that was to cultivate her own spies.

Lu Changning looked at his nose and his heart, lowered his head and said nothing. Someone boldly said yes immediately, and the mistress raised her eyes slightly, and the person who was willing just now was immediately pulled out by the tall and strong servant next to him.

Hearing the wailing outside, the remaining three people in the room changed their expressions. See, the plan is exposed.

The mistress listened to the cries and pleas for mercy outside, but she smiled and said, "You are all the useful people mentioned by the housekeeper, so I have to tell you the rules of this mansion. Now tell me, who is the boss in this mansion."

"Of course it's you, ma'am."

The mistress was very satisfied with the answer: "Who should I listen to then?"

"I will only follow the orders of my mistress."

The mistress was even more satisfied: "You are all smart people. Go to the young master's room and report to me whatever you see and hear. After the matter is done, my Yu family will not treat the loyal servants harshly. Do you understand?"

"I understand."

Sure enough, the purpose is to monitor Yu Miao!

Although this incident today cut off Lu Changning's chance to go out and work as a manager, he was able to get close to Yu Miao by chance. This was also good news.

That night, Lu Changning moved out of his woodshed. In order to be worthy of the young master's room, the steward even gritted his teeth and bought them new bedding and clothes. Lu Changning, who had slept on wood for several days, was very moved. After coming here for so long, he finally had a turn for the better.

Young Master Yu Miao is really a very silent person. This is how Lu Changning felt after seeing Yu Miao.

Yu Miao has been reading since he came to this courtyard. There are many books in his room, but many of them have curled edges due to repeated reading.

Just like the book he was holding in his hands, he had read it twice in the past two days. But he was still reading it over and over again.

It seems that he is really lonely!

Xiao Wu, who came with Lu Changning, whispered beside him: "Xiao Lu, have you ever heard the young master speak? Could he be mute? We have been here for two days and he hasn't said a word."

While taking care of the trees in the courtyard, Lu Changning looked at the person reading a book by the second-floor window and shook his head slightly: "How can we gossip about the host family? Be careful of being punished."

In this courtyard, it was really quiet, but also really peaceful. Everything was silent, and the birdsong in the trees seemed particularly harsh. The servants worked very carefully, fearing that they would make any noise.

For this reason, many servants could not stand the depressing atmosphere and ran out of the yard at night to breathe some fresh air.

Lu Changning did not follow him out. He was carving something in a corner of the yard. With the light coming from the house, he could vaguely see that it was a piece of wood.

After whittling for several days, there was suddenly a sound behind me.

"what are you doing?"

Lu Changning turned around and saw that the young master who was sitting in the high building had come down. He quickly stood up and saluted: "Nothing, just carving a small thing."

Lu Changning opened his hand and saw a small flower carved out of wood in his hand. The petals were long and thin, numerous and clustered together. It was very delicate and beautiful.

Yu Miao reached out and picked it up, carefully examining the walnut-sized flower. The pattern was so delicate and smooth that even the tiny lines on the petals could be clearly seen. It was hard to imagine that it was actually carved from wood.

"What a beautiful wood carving. But what kind of flower is this? I have never seen it before."

Lu Changning looked at the hand holding the wooden sculpture, which was pale and thin. He sighed in his heart: "It is the red spider lily, which is completely red and does not exist in the mortal world."

"Higanbana." Yu Miao carefully observed the flower in front of him. It was really exquisite. "Since there is no such flower in the world, how did you see it?"

Lu Changning chuckled: "I don't know, maybe he encountered it after walking through the gates of hell! Give this flower to the young master, it is said that it can bring good luck to people."

Yu Miao's habit told him not to accept this thing, but he really liked it. After a little thought, he accepted it: "Why don't I reward you with some gold and silver?"

Lu Changning cupped his hands and said, "Thank you for the reward, Master."

Yu Miao has a stubborn personality. If he didn't want anything, he might not even accept the wood sculpture.

The red spider lily is not just a piece of wood. Lu Changning had laid out a little mystery when carving it. The wood carving contains a trace of Xiaohong's aura, which can sense the danger around it.

Xiao Hong touched herself and said, "Lu Changning, you sold me out for just a bunch of copper coins? I am a noble man, so even if it's just a wooden statue, it should be worth at least a few taels of silver. But you sold it to me for just a few copper coins?"

Lu Changning munched on a multi-grain bun in silence, and replied in his mind: "Although Yu Miao lives well, he doesn't have much money to spend. Considering his pity, you should give him a friendly price."

Xiao Hong snorted softly, "It's only him. If it were anyone else, they would have to have a hundred taels of gold to get my statue!"

There is no market for it! Who would spend a hundred taels of gold to buy a flower they have never seen before? I guess even the God of Hell can't sell it for this price. If it can be sold for a hundred dollars, it's all thanks to Lu Changning's superb carving skills!

Ignoring Xiaohong who was roaring in the underworld, Lu Changning touched his belly and it seemed to have gained some weight. Since he came to the young master's courtyard, his living conditions have been much better. He can eat three or five whole grain buns for every meal. Lu Changning's originally sickly body has become strong.

"My body has finally recovered!" Lu Changning said with satisfaction, touching his muscles.
