Chapter 39 Joints

?A few days later, Li Gao, who entered the mansion of Duke Zhu, as a carpenter, gradually became familiar with various rules after several "training". In short, the distance between him and Yuwen Wen is still very far away.

The management of Duke Zhu's mansion was very strict, so strict that Li Gao was a little confused. He felt that if he had no support, he would have to endure for several years or even more than ten years before he could have the opportunity to meet Yuwen Wen.

First of all, he and his partner Wang Shuo were employed for a year as long-term workers. Although they were carpenters, they were not their turn to work as big wood workers. This kind of carpenter with superb skills in this kind of living mansion is responsible.

Li Gao and other carpenters who were recruited were responsible for the small wood work. In fact, they were just repairing and repairing some small furniture. It was impossible to enter the inner courtyard, and there was not much chance to enter the outer courtyard.

These two places are Yuwen Wen’s daily activities areas. If you can’t get in, don’t take the opportunity to take revenge on the opportunity to work.

The second is accommodation. Duke of Zhu strictly divided the places where servants and servants live. The dormitory management of different groups of people is very strict, and there is almost no chance to take advantage of the situation.

Short-term workers and long-term workers each calculate one type. The servants who have signed a living contract and the servants who have signed a dead contract are one type. Others such as servants, accounts, guards, etc. Each type of person has their own residence and is not allowed to visit.

Long-term workers like them are basically unable to have a long-term contact with servants in the mansion. They are too crowded and inconvenient to say "whispers" when working, and they cannot walk around and visit each other when they are resting. From a certain perspective, this is no different from going to jail.

Then there is food, including food and accommodation in the mansion. There are three meals a day, but you are not allowed to make a fire in the dormitory without authorization. The food is prepared in the kitchen, and everyone gathers to eat in the kitchen.

It is said that this is a good opportunity to contact the inner workings, but Li Gao later found that this was a delusion, because the dining location of the long and short workers was separated from others and there was no room for connection.

When working every day, most of the time I work in designated woodworking workshops and I don’t have the chance to contact others. After a while, Li Gao’s daily life was very consistent.

He wanted to communicate with his companion Wang Shuo in private, but the dormitory was a big room, and all five of them slept on a large bunk bed, and they couldn't whisper with confidence. If two people hid in the corner outside, it would be very noticeable.

So the two can only maintain a "normal relationship" and use the fragments of alone time to communicate their own ideas. In fact, there are not many ideas. Their ideas can be summarized in one word, that is, "wait".

Waiting for that inner man to come to see them, this is also the strategy set by the old man in the straw hat. If he can't help but act without authorization, he will definitely fail, so he can only wait for the rabbit.

On the morning of the tenth day after entering the mansion, a servant brought three damaged poles. The other three carpenters had already worked elsewhere, and only Li Gao and Wang Shuo had free time.

The two of them came to the woodworking house beside them and began to repair them as the servant asked. There was another servant who came with him and the manager who was responsible for the chief steward. As always, there was no chance to whisper.

The damage was not very serious, so even though Li Gao and Wang Shuo were half-bucket carpenters, it was still fine to repair it. However, it was very common to use the materials based on the materials, and it was not used by noble people.

In fact, Li Gao and others served the servants, managers, servants, guards and other miscellaneous people in Duke Kuo’s mansion. As for Duke Kuo and his family in the backyard, it was not their turn to serve him.

Jingji finally repaired it. The two servants frowned as Jingji looked at Jingji and wanted to say something but still didn't say it. The two new carpenters' skills were a bit sloppy, but they were still acceptable, so they didn't worry about it and left with Jingji.

Li Gao breathed a sigh of relief. He had already put in the effort to cultivate this way. If he encountered some complicated small wooden works, he would really show his sagging. He might have been fired before he could pass the probation period.

But if this continues, he might have become a carpenter before he can kill Yuwen Wen.

Wang Shuo and Li Gao began to clean up the tools. The woodworking room here was a bit strange. All the tools had to be hung on a large wooden board and could not be placed casually because the board was painted with the outlines of various tools, and the tools had to be placed according to the outlines.

This is a bit troublesome, but to be fair, it is not easy to lose tools when placed in this way. The room looks neat and tidy, which can effectively prevent the three hands from passing the tools.

The two were about to leave, but the manager who had been watching quietly by the side suddenly whispered: "Yourang from Dongcun is called Ali."

Li Gao was shocked when he heard this, and he couldn't help but look at the other party, but saw the young manager looking calm. He glanced at Wang Shuo again, saw his companion nodding silently, and then spoke in a low voice:

"There is a girl named Ayu in the west of the village."

"Very good, see you tomorrow."

After the young manager finished speaking, he kept silent. Li Gaoqiang pressed the excitement in his heart and left silently with Wang Shuo. With Professor Weng's secret words, they successfully joined the insider, the young manager in front of him.

Both of them contacted this manager every day, but they never expected that the other party would be so calm.

At noon the next day, when a group of workers came to the kitchen to prepare for dinner, the young manager came over and asked Li Gao to go back to do carpentry. The others shook their heads helplessly when they saw Li Gao being so "unlucky".

The kitchen is a short distance from where the Changgong lived, and this short distance provides the two with valuable time to talk. They stared at the front, as if they were talking to themselves.

"It's important. A few days ago, I was afraid of something wrong, so I paid attention to it for a while before I dared to talk to you about the code words. Are there any discomforts?"

Li Gao heard this and whispered: "No, he and I are very good, I don't know what brothers are called?"

"It's just called Manager Jiang..."

"Understood."

He knew that this person was called "Jiang Guanshi", but according to what the old man said, this person was actually his half-brother. He was expelled from the Li family since childhood and his humble biological mother, so he took his mother's surname.

Of course, the old man from the Stork La did not tell the identity of this person in the Duke of Zhu's mansion, but since the other party had already spoken the code yesterday, it should be certain that he was an insider, not to mention that this manager Jiang had another characteristic, which made Li Gao feel confident.

Those eyes were exactly the same as those of Li Gao's father Li Xiama. Only when blood was connected could such a coincidence be possible.

Seeing that he was about to walk to the carpentry room, Li Gao quickly asked the key question: "Manager Jiang, what should I do next? Should I continue to wait?"

"In a few days, maybe there will be a chance."

The other party's faint words almost made Li Gao's heart jump out of his chest. He thought he would have to wait at least several months before he had such a glimmer of opportunity. Unexpectedly, his half-brother actually brought good news.

Manager Jiang looked ahead and still whispered to himself: "I am ready to die with this villain, where are you?"
