Followed Old Dong to his home, which was a simple thatched hut like Lin Wanrong's residence. Inside the house, there was a 17 or 18-year-old girl sitting by the window carefully mending something. Another boy of about 15 or 16 years old, dressed in short clothes, with rolling eyes, curiously sized up Lin Wanrong.
"Quickly, quickly, pour the tea, we have a distinguished guest at home." Old Dong shouted loudly as soon as he entered the house.
The girl sitting in front of the window raised her head, with curved eyebrows, willow-leaf-like eyes, a delicate nose bridge, and rosy lips. She was indeed an exceptionally beautiful girl, one in a thousand. If she were at Peking University, she would be at least a departmental beauty queen.
Can't see Lao Dong's sly appearance, but raised such a good daughter, this is really a bad bamboo producing good shoots.
Lin Wanrong smiled and said to Old Dong: "Uncle Dong, you really are a lucky man."
Lao Dong smiled and said: "Girl, this is Lin Gongzi, come and meet him quickly."
It was probably because there had never been a strange young man in the house before, so Dong Qiaoqiao still couldn't let go and blushed, walking to Lin Wanrong's front and giving him a salute: "I've seen Master Lin."
Lin Wanrong smiled and pointed at his exposed toes: "Miss Dong, I'm sorry to say that with my poor appearance, how can I still be considered a young master?"
Dong Qiaoqiao saw Lin Wanrong's toes sticking out of his shoes and heard what he said was interesting, couldn't help but cover her mouth with a smile, her face became even redder.
Dong Rende pointed at the fifteen or sixteen year old boy and said: "Qingshan, come quickly to meet Lin Gongzi."
Dong Qing Shan looked at Lin Wan Rong with a curious expression, walked up to him and bowed: "Nice to meet you, Master Lin."
Lin Wanrong smiled and pulled Dong Qingshan over, saying: "Uncle Dong, is this your son?"
Dong Rende smiled and said: "That's right. This kid is idle all day, causing trouble and making a joke of the young master."
Lin Wanrong saw that Dong Qing was only 15 or 16 years old, but his eyes were lively and his expression was fierce. He didn't show any fear when he met strangers, and there were several purple bruises on his body, as if they were caused by fighting with others. However, this young man seemed to be in a natural state of mind, as if he didn't care about it at all.
Lin Wanrong had a good impression of this young man and smiled: "Dong Xiaodi, have you studied before?"
Dong Qing shook his head and said: "I studied in a private school for two years before being driven out by the teacher."
Dong Rende angrily said from the side: "Who told you to fight with Zhang Gongzi?"
Dong Qingshan retorted: "If he bullies others, I won't stand for it. Of course, I'll intervene. Next time if he dares to do so again, I'll beat him without fail."
Dong Rende's beard was quivering with rage, and Dong Qiao hastily advised: "Father, it's all in the past, don't scold your brother again."
Dong Rende seemed to listen to his daughter's words and glared at Dong Qingshan with a stern expression before falling silent.
Lin Wanrong couldn't help but smile inwardly and said to Dong Qing Shan, "Qing Shan, from now on if you get into a fight, come find me and I'll think of a way to help you. I won't let others bully you."
"Really?" Dong Qing Shan was still taken aback that someone would speak to him in such a way, and it was a young master who looked extremely knowledgeable at that. The excitement in his heart was naturally indescribable.
Dong Rende and Dong Qiaoqiao looked at Lin Wanrong together, Dong Rende naturally didn't know what Lin Wanrong's words meant, and there was a hint of blame in Dong Qiaoqiao's eyes, but paired with her shy face, it had a different flavor.
Lin Wanrong smiled and said to Dong's father and daughter, "You're trying to prevent Qing Shan from going out to fight, but I'm afraid it won't be effective. Am I right or not?"
Dong Qiaoqiao gazed at the several bruises on her brother's body, a hint of heartache flashing in her eyes. She glanced at Lin Wanrong and nodded slightly.
Lin Wanrong continued, "It's better to let things go than to block them. Rather than letting Qing Shan recklessly cause trouble and come back with a mess, it's better to tell him what should be done and what shouldn't be done, and how to do things in order to minimize one's own losses and prevent one's loved ones from getting hurt again."
Dong Qingshan's face lit up with joy and he said: "Yes, yes, that's exactly what I was hoping for. Brother Lin, please teach me."
Dong Qing Shan was a clever person, and in the blink of an eye, he stopped calling him Young Master Lin and directly called him Big Brother Lin.
Dong Rende couldn't understand what he meant, but Dong Qiaqiao showed a thoughtful expression, as if she had understood something.
Lin Wanrong nodded at Dong Rende and said: "Uncle Dong, rest assured, from now on the fights in Qing Shan will only become less and less."
Dong Qiaoqiao glanced at Lin Wanrong and said: "The frame will be less and less as it is beaten, but the scale may become bigger and bigger."
"Miss Dong is indeed clever and resourceful." Lin Wanrong said with a smile, but his face showed a hint of surprise. This little girl was not just clever, she could even guess several points of his own thoughts.
Dong Qiao's face flushed with a hint of red, and she hastily whispered: "Lin Gongzi is overpraising me, I only hope that Lin Gongzi can properly teach Qing Shan well, and not let him learn any bad habits again."
Haha, this little girl is really interesting. Obviously warning Lin Wanrong not to lead Dong Qingshan astray, but instead saying it so tactfully that Lin Wanrong can't help but laugh.
"Definitely, definitely." Lin Wanrong showed a knowing expression and winked at Dong Qiaoqiao.
Dong Qiaoqiao's face flushed bright red, knowing that her tone had been completely caught by Lin Wanrong, and she felt that her little cleverness was somewhat ineffective in front of him.
Lin Wanrong didn't come to flirt with the little girl, so he stopped talking to her and asked Old Dong to bring a piece of paper. He carefully cut it into four sections and said: "Uncle Dong, find someone who writes beautifully and have them detail everything they know about Miss Xiao in writing. The more detailed the better, and it's best to divide it into different categories. For example, if Miss Xiao likes to eat something, you can list it as a separate category, titled 'Miss Xiao and Food'. If Miss Xiao likes a certain type of clothing, you can list it under a category called 'Miss Xiao's Aesthetic', and so on. If these four pieces of paper aren't enough, you can cut more according to this size and continue adding, then find someone with nimble hands to bind them into a book."
Dong Rende said with a puzzled expression: "Lin Gongzi, what's the reason for this? The handwriting is beautiful and elegant, and someone with a clever mind and skilled hands doesn't need to look for outsiders. My daughter can handle it."
Oh? Lin Wanrong gave Dong Qiaoqiao a strange look, didn't expect this girl to have such skills.
Dong Qiaoqiao's face turned red for a moment. Although she didn't know what Lin Wanrong and her father were going to do, she didn't object.
"I'm going to take advantage of Xiaojie's kindness." Lin Wanrong said with a smile, but the words that came out were shocking.
Dong Qiaoqiao's face turned red as she thought to herself, "How can this person be so arrogant? He can say such words so easily."
Dong Qing Shan was a straightforward person: "Lin Da Ge, you want to pursue Xiao Sao? That's great, bring her back and let me take a look at what she looks like."
Lao Dong has seen Lin Wanrong's tactics before and knows that he has ulterior motives, but this young man surnamed Lin is half-true and half-false, maybe he really has his eyes on the young lady of the house.
Lin Wanrong laughed and said, "Qingshan, where did you go? I haven't even seen this girl's face before, how could I possibly try to pick her up? You also underestimate your big brother Lin too much."
Wei Lao had arranged for him to go to the Xiao family as a servant, but he didn't have much good feelings towards the Xiao family. Before entering to serve those young ladies and madams, he would first find an opportunity to make some small gains from Miss Xiao, comforting his wounded heart.
Dong Qiaoqiao snorted with a smile, looked at him for a moment, this Lin Gongzi was different from those talented young men, seemingly thicker-skinned.
It's said that Dong Qiaoqiao is good at recognizing characters and cutting words, which makes things easier for her own people. Lin Wanrong instructed Dong Rende to leave some blank space on each sheet of paper, varying in size, without having to copy them out.
