System: I am a second-hand dealer in the world of immortality

Chapter 125: Don’t have false ambitions and act with integrity

It was already midnight when Zhang Yanan woke up. Shen Xia would immediately notice any movement on his side.

"Master, you're awake. Come on, drink some water first." Shen Xia lifted Zhang Yanan up and fed him some water.

"Renda! Renda! Go and call the uncle!" Shen Xia stood up and called out the door. Renda was still waiting by the medicine jar. After all, shopkeeper He was in middle age and his health was not as good as that of a young man. He did not wait with Shen Xia and the others, but he also asked Zhang Yanan to call him over immediately if he woke up.

"The major physical problem is gone, but after all, I have suffered a lot. I can only take care of myself in the future." Shopkeeper He said after taking his pulse.

Shopkeeper He looked at Zhang Yanan's too thin face, and his eyes turned red again: "Yan'an, I've really suffered for you. It's all your fault for being useless. If the master is still here, why do you have to suffer all this!"

"Brother, don't blame yourself, I can't blame you," Zhang Yan'an said weakly, and then glanced at Shen Xia next to him, "Chen Xia, I can't blame you, but from now on...sigh... "

"Master, I know it's my fault. I'm so grateful that you don't care about me. You don't have to worry about the future. You can just rest and recuperate during this period. I will handle it."

"Chen Xia, 'If your ambitions are not false and your deeds must be upright,' I have no requirements for you. I only hope that you can act upright and sit upright. Maybe I have harmed you and shouldn't let you go to the clinic, but now I will give it to you." Got into such a big trouble." Zhang Yanan said with a wry smile.

Zhang Yanan was still weak after all. After drinking the medicine, he talked to a few people before falling back to sleep. As for Shen Xia's appointment as a staff member of the City Lord's Mansion, she hadn't spoken yet and didn't know how to speak, so she simply didn't say anything.

Early the next morning, when Renda rubbed his eyes and went to the kitchen to boil water, he saw Shen Xia making breakfast. Hericium and yam pork ribs soup and red dates and barley porridge were made. Hericium and yam were both given by Ding Mengmei before. , Shen Xia hasn’t eaten yet.

"It smells so good." The glutton in Renda's stomach was awakened. The food cooked with spiritual plants had an unusually refreshing fragrance, and just smelling it made people's appetites increase.

Shen Xia directed Renda to serve the meal and said: "Deji Hall will open as normal today. I will not be in the hospital during the day. You can go out to buy food at noon and you will come back in the evening."

"Then where are you going?" Renda asked.

Shen Xia was silent. After hesitating for a long time, she said, "I'm going to the city lord's mansion. Don't tell the master and others."

"Are you crazy?! You just came out of it and want to be in the tiger's mouth again? Wait, did you make some evil deal?" Renda exclaimed, feeling as if he had discovered some terrible truth.

A gust of wind blew past Renda's face, and a piece of firewood not far away fell apart instantly. "Next time you talk nonsense, you will be the one who gets hacked." Shen Xia dropped these words and left, leaving Renda alone and messy in the wind.

Is Shen Xia really a lunatic? ? ? Renda only had this thought in her mind.

He thought that Shen Xia had changed his character after coming back this time, and even washed his hands to make soup, thinking that he had achieved half of his "ambitious goal" (becoming the shopkeeper of Deji Hall and asking Shen Xia to serve him tea and water). Unexpectedly, they would become violent again after a disagreement, and it seemed to be much more violent than the last time they came back.

It's scary. Women are really scary, especially Shen Xia. Renda recalled the various aunts she met during the consultation and shuddered again - cherish life and stay away from women.

It was already 7:45 when Shen Xia arrived at the City Lord's Mansion, and Shen Xia was still taken to the side hall from yesterday.

"Miss Shen, please wait a moment, the city lord hasn't gotten up yet." The maid left after serving tea to Shen Xia, leaving Shen Xia sitting alone in the hall.

Shen Xia drank tea and looked at the decoration in the side hall. All the porcelain in the side hall had been replaced. Shen Xia used her spiritual consciousness to see that there were decorations on the carpet in the center of the side hall and on the legs of the table and chair closest to her. Splatters of finely broken porcelain slag.

It seemed that Yin Jing lost his temper again after he left yesterday. Shen Xia felt much better when she thought of this. The contract stated that the city lord had the obligation to protect the personal safety of Deji Hall personnel while Shen Xia was serving as a staff member of the city lord's palace, so Yin Jing could not take action against Deji Hall no matter how angry he was.

I don't know how long it took, but footsteps finally came from outside the side hall.

The person who came was not Yin Jing, but a new face that Shen Xia had never seen before, but he was weak-headed (in his early 20s) and handsome in appearance. At a glance, he knew that he was a rich kid from the royal capital just like Yin Jing.

"Who is the girl?" the young man stepped forward and asked.

"Staff of the City Lord's Mansion, Shen Xia." Shen Xia stood up and replied.

"It turns out to be Miss Shen, whom I have admired for a long time. I am also City Lord Yin's staff, Tan Bohan." Tan Bohan sat opposite Shen Xia.

About a quarter of an hour later, three more people came in from the side hall, all dressed as princes of the royal capital. As soon as the three people came in, they saw Shen Xia and Tan Bohan. "Hey, Brother Tan, let me ask you, why didn't I see you so early in the morning? So you were having a tryst with your sister here?" The first person to start teasing was the fattest one among the three, named Wang Yi.

"Tsk, tsk, tsk, Brother Tan, it's really embarrassing for you not to call us brothers for such a good thing." The second person to speak was the tallest of the three, named Sun Er.

"This girl, may I ask her name? Where are you from? Are you married?" The last person to speak was the one who looked the most "unsophisticated" among the three, famous and rich.

Shen Xia frowned, and after glancing at the three of them, she still didn't speak and was too lazy to talk to them. It was Tan Bohan who stood up to smooth things over: "Everyone is joking, I just happened to get up early today. This is Shen Xia who took Zhao Tianyi's place. Shen Xia, these three are also the city lord's staff, from left to right Is it Wang Yi, Sun Er, Qian?"

The four staff members each had their own thoughts on how Zhao Tianyi died and how Shen Xia came to power, but when they saw Shen Xia's face, all their thoughts converged into one idea. Didn't City Lord Yin say that he would ask Shen Xia to come over and "serve them well"? But it didn’t say what kind of service it was. Does that mean...

Some of the four people have already used their brains.

Shen Xia said nothing more except to stand up and introduce herself. The three of them quickly found their seats - Wang Yi sat at the lower left of Tan Bohan, diagonally opposite Shen Xia; Sun Er sat at the lower right of Shen Xia; Qian? Sitting on the lower left side of Wang Yi.

After the few people sat down, they stopped talking. The four of them glanced at each other, wondering what bad idea they were discussing, but Shen Xia, who had witnessed the whole process, could only pretend that he didn't see anything.

It was around 10:30 that Shen Xia heard the silver bell-like laughter outside the side hall coming from far and near, mixed with the sound of frolic.

Shen Xia knew that the protagonist was coming.
