Chapter 2: Sneaking into the Beautiful Girl's Home

  Qin Feng graduated from the Drama Academy, majoring in acting. As an actor, he has to portray a hundred roles, so he needs to be familiar with all aspects of life. In his opinion, when big companies recruit employees, education background is important, and appearance is also very important, and it's no exception in ancient times.

  He was moved in his heart and thought of the talented image he had played before, so he immediately adjusted his posture.

  Cai Lin turned her head at the sound and immediately picked out Qin Feng, who was different from the crowd, and couldn't help but shine in front of her eyes.

  "What's your name?" Cai Lin walked over and said.

  Qin Feng, as a student of the drama academy, had read through the Three Kingdoms play and admired those highly skilled old actors. He also tried to give himself a courtesy name. At that time, he flipped through an ancient book and learned that the character "Feng" meant the highest point. He didn't want to think that he had already reached his peak now. So this courtesy name should be complementary, so he took the character "Jin".

  The character "zi" was a respectful term in ancient times, so it was used as a prefix to form the courtesy name Zijin. Zijin means that the old man (Lao Zi) is always moving forward. At this time, when Cai Lin asked, he found an opportunity to use it and, imitating the style of the play, bowed his hands and said: "I am Qin Feng, courtesy name Zijin!"

  "Oh, what a good name." Upon hearing that Qin Feng had a courtesy name and it was quite elegant, Cai Lin thought to herself that this young man must not be from an ordinary family. She continued to ask: "Where are you from?"

  "The family declined and flowed into Beiping County. In recent years, I came to Luoyang alone to make a living. Seeing that there is a job to be done in the government office, I tried it out of desperation." Qin Feng said.

  Cai Lin felt that Qin Feng's speech was well-reasoned, and he should have some knowledge. An illiterate person couldn't express himself in such a way. A person with a good upbringing and demeanor is also a credit to the household, so she said: "Let's hire this man."

  "Everyone has dispersed, right?" Cai Ping shouted.

  The crowd let out a sigh of disappointment, having missed the opportunity once again. When would they be able to find a decent job in a noble household? They couldn't help but feel envious and resentful towards Qin Feng, who had been hired.

  "Come with me," said Cai Lin.

  "Please wait a moment, I'll go say goodbye to my brother who came with me." Qin Feng said and turned around to walk back.

  "Qin Feng, big brother, I really didn't expect you to be in the Cai Manor doing such a wonderful job......" Da Niu had always dreamed of this, but Qin Feng made it look so easy, and he couldn't help but feel envious.

  "Big Brother, I'll come find you once I've settled down," Qin Feng said. "Oh, right. What month is it now?"

  "Brother Qin, it's already April now." Big Cow said with a hint of sadness as he had been with Qin Feng for over a month and was about to part ways.

  "Hmm, that leaves about eleven months. The Yellow Turban Rebellion will occur in March 184, in about eleven months. Qin Feng has been in this era for over a month now, and every day he thinks about how to make a name for himself, so as not to waste his transmigration. The Yellow Turban Rebellion is obviously a great opportunity for him to rise up, but the problem is that he doesn't have any people, money or reputation. Qin Feng shook his head in his heart, this ancient era is different from modern times, the pace of life is slower. In less than a year's time, who knows what kind of situation he will be in."

  "Qin big brother, what's wrong with you again?" Da Niu said, seeing his Qin Feng big brother spacing out once more.

  This man is also honest and down-to-earth. Qin Feng said: "Big cow, you don't understand now. Live a good life, I'll go find you after I settle down."

  ……

  Tsai's Household Management Office.

  "Qin Feng, working at the Chai estate is different from other households. You get 300 coins per month and one day off each month. Looking at your dusty appearance, I think this outfit should be from a border tribe. Go with Cai An to clean up and change into new clothes. First, follow Cai An to work in the front yard." Cai Lin saw that he was wearing cowboy attire, especially cowboy pants, which had an unusual style and coarse fabric, so she thought it was the rough clothing of a border tribe.

  Qin Feng saw his expression and secretly curled his lips, thinking that with this kind of skill, in the future, he would be worth more than a piece of cloth on your body.

  He was then taken out by Cai An, changed into a coarse hemp outfit, and only then did he realize that the errands in this mansion were also divided into three, six, nine grades. Divided by clothing, coarse hemp clothes were third-rate, cotton hemp clothes were second-rate officials, and coarse silk fabrics were first-rate managers. Qin Feng had just arrived and was only third-rate, responsible for sweeping and cleaning, and even giving tea to the masters was not his turn.

  Han Dynasty fabrics include silk, gauze, white silk, and satin. Cloth is a hemp fabric, the cheapest material for Han people's clothing. Silk is an ordinary silk fabric, its price is slightly higher than cloth. Gauze is a fine and colorful silk fabric, its price is even more expensive, not affordable for ordinary people to wear. White silk is a high-quality white gauze, its price is even more expensive than gauze. Satin is a high-end product of gauze, the most expensive among all fabrics.

  "Qin Feng, the bed over there is where you'll be sleeping tonight. It's getting late, so get some rest first. We'll start work early tomorrow morning." Cai An briefly explained Qin Feng's tasks before going off to attend to her own matters.

  Qin Feng's room was a side house in the front yard, and what he wanted to do most now was to go to the inner house to see what the talented woman Cai Yan, who had been famous for thousands of years, looked like. Seeing that there was nothing going on around him and no one was watching, he slipped out of the room.

  The Cai residence covers a vast area, with dozens of courtyards, and the servants are busy with their duties, but no one pays attention to Qin Feng wandering around.

  He didn't know how long he had walked, anyway, he just kept walking inside. Then he saw a courtyard where maids were coming and going frequently, it must be the inner house, so he went over there.

  "Halt!" Two guards outside the gate blocked Qin Feng's path.

  Qin Feng was taken aback by this sudden rebuke, but he maintained a calm smile on his face. "What's the matter?"

  The tall guard saw his coarse linen hemp clothes and said with a familiar tone: "Newcomer, eh? This inner courtyard is not somewhere you can enter."

  "Huh? What's going on?" Qin Feng asked in confusion.

  "Inside the inner house, only outsiders of the first rank can enter." The short guard beside him said disdainfully.

  "Off with you! I won't count it against you since you're new here, but next time you act so recklessly, I'll report you to the steward and have you thrown out of the estate!" The tall guard shouted.

  I knew it! In ancient times, the hierarchy was strict. It seems that Cai Yan's sister can't be seen for the time being. Qin Feng turned around with a huff.

  This commotion lasted until evening, when Qin Feng arrived at the room, he saw several ancient colleagues. His vision was ahead of thousands of years, chatting freely from all over the world, telling a few dirty and clean jokes, and he blended in seamlessly. Several companions felt that his vision was extraordinary, and as soon as they learned about it, they immediately showed respect.

  Just as he was boasting to the sea, Cai An walked in. Cai An was in charge, and several people hurriedly stood up to greet him. Qin Feng saw this and followed suit.

  Cai An nodded slightly and said, "Qin Feng, tonight the old master is hosting a wine party, and the young brother in the front hall is ill. You can read characters, so the housekeeper has called you to attend to him in the front hall. Come with me now to prepare."

  Qin Feng was new and didn't understand anything, after going out he said: "Cai Guan Shi, what do I need to do?"

  "Oh, there will be consular officials who will take care of you." Cai An simply said.

  Tsai An took him to the front hall and handed him over to the consul here, then left.

  The consul's name in the front hall was Jiang Chuan. The task assigned to Qin Feng was simple, serving the guests who came to the last seat on the left.

  "Qin Feng, it's your first time doing this, be careful. But don't worry too much, after all, everyone has a first time. Pay attention to the guests' needs and proactively deliver what they lack in a timely manner. If someone drinks too much, you must attend to them immediately. There will be a maid assisting you, with you as the main one in charge. Just call her over whenever you notice something is needed." Jiang Chuan explained in detail.

  Every city has its first time! Why does this sound so awkward?

  Before long, several maidservants came into the guest room.

  "Xiao Hong, this is Qin Feng, you two are a team tonight, work well together." Jiang Chuan said.

  "Yes, Consul Jiang!" Little Red bowed slightly and then looked at Qin Feng.

  Qin Feng smiled kindly, and Xiao Hong's face turned red. She thought to herself: This man is so handsome that he surpasses all the young masters on the street.

  What's wrong with this woman's face? Qin Feng was very puzzled.

  "Gentlemen, please." The loud and clear voice from the front hall made it obvious that he was an important person.

  "Everyone get started, and be careful."

  Qin Feng followed behind Xiao Hong as they walked out, this girl's butt was indeed round.

  The two teams moved quietly and stood in a row behind the seats, with Consul Jiang Chuan personally standing behind the elderly man in the central position.

  Qin Feng attended an ancient noble family banquet for the first time, saw that the guests were dressed in their finest attire, the servants were meticulous and cautious, the hall was spacious, and all the prepared utensils were extraordinary, suddenly feeling a kind of ancient elegance.

  He saw the old man with a long beard, kind eyebrows and good eyes, with a bright spirit. He wore a gray robe with a patterned road, with a dignified demeanor. "Is this Cai Yong?" Qin Feng sighed endlessly when he first met the Eastern Han bull. Looking at the guest in front of him, the style of the long gown was not much different, and the hairpin on his head was very delicate. The thin and long face was also bearded, and it was unknown which bull man came to Cai's house as a guest.
