A rare opportunity

Chapter 322 Establishing Prestige

There were too many packages to carry with them. Li Yu could only ask Hu Qian to ask the housekeeper of Hua Mansion for a carriage.

When they returned to the courtyard, Li Yu found that a plaque had been hung on the empty door lintel. The plaque was engraved with two large characters: "Li Mansion"!

Li Yu couldn't help but shake his head and sigh! He knew at a glance that it was the work of Park Sung-heon! You know, Wu Ling'er and others naturally knew Li Yu's thoughts and would never do such a boring thing. Only Park Sung-heon would have the leisure to do this.

Two strong men stood in front of the door with their chests puffed out. When they saw Li Yu and others' carriage stopped in front of the door, they immediately rushed forward and drove them away, saying:

"Go! Go! No one is allowed to stay in front of the Imperial Physician's Mansion!"

Li Yu knew that they were all newly recruited servants and naturally did not recognize him. Just as he was about to explain to them, Hu Qian was not happy! He immediately put his hands on his waist and shouted:

"How dare you! You bastards, do you know who we are? Doctor Li is back, and you are still waiting on him carefully!"

The two strong men were stunned! They looked at Li Yu suspiciously. Li Yu's attire was similar to theirs, and even less elegant than the angry man standing next to him! They didn't believe that this guy dressed like a scoundrel could be a third-rank imperial physician!

One of them couldn't help but sneered:

"He's the imperial physician? I'm still the fucking prime minister! Stop talking nonsense and get out of here! Don't make trouble for yourself!"

The other person pushed Li Yu without saying anything and said:

"Go! Go! Go! Go! Go quickly! Don't embarrass yourself here!"

"What the hell are you talking about? Fine, fine! Just wait! Let me see who is going to disgrace himself! Someone come! Someone come…"

Hu Qian, who was so angry, blew his beard and glared, and shouted loudly.

Liu Hai, who was busy in the mansion, heard the noise at the door and hurried out.

When Hu Qian saw this, he shouted:

"Liu Hai! Where the hell did you get this blind guard dog? How dare you even stop us?"

Liu Hai hurriedly shouted to the two strong men:

"Jiang Li, Jiang Yi, you must not be rude!"

When Jiang Li and Jiang Yi saw that the person dared to call Liu Hai by his name, they knew something was wrong! When they heard Liu Hai shouting, they were so scared that their faces turned pale! They wanted to show off, but they didn't expect to offend the main person on the first day!

Liu Hai said to Li Yu modestly:

"Don't blame me, Third Brother! Blame me for not explaining it to them. Please come in quickly! Jiang Li and Jiang Yi, why are you still standing there? Come over and help!"

Hu Qian said with a gloomy face:

"I say, Lao Liu, your eyesight is too poor, isn't it? Why did you find two of these bastards? I think with these two around, there will be trouble sooner or later! I think we should replace them as soon as possible!"

Although Hu Qian knew that Liu Hai and Li Yu had sworn brotherhood, he still looked down on him. When he spoke to him, he had a dignified manner!

Liu Hai couldn't help but feel a little annoyed! But considering that these two people were newcomers, it was understandable that he didn't know them. He just smiled awkwardly at Hu Qian and said:

"Brother Hu, you are too kind! It's just that the two of them did make mistakes just now. I will talk to them in detail later. Brother Hu, calm down first and talk after entering the mansion, so as not to make a fool of yourself!"

Hu Qian was still not willing to give in, and Li Yu could not help but frown! He said impatiently:

"That's enough! That's enough! It's normal that they don't recognize us since they just arrived! Stop talking so much! Go in now!"

Li Yu was a little confused. He couldn't understand why Hu Qian had to pick a fight with the two guards.

How could he understand Hu Qian's thoughts? He seemed to be angry with the two guards, but in fact he had other intentions! Firstly, he was expressing his dissatisfaction! In his opinion, the matter of recruiting soldiers should be done by him. But now he let Liu Hai do it, which was obviously a lack of trust in him! Secondly, he was taking the opportunity to establish his prestige in front of these servants! He had already taken it for granted that he was the steward of the Li Mansion!

Li Yu's words made him even more angry! This was obviously to embarrass him in front of the servants! What prestige would he have in front of these servants in the future? However, Li Yu was the master of this place after all, so he could only swallow his anger and hold a grudge in his heart!

Jiang Li and Jiang Yi were so frightened that their faces turned pale and they stood there trembling!

When Li Yu saw this, he hurried forward and gently patted their shoulders.

It was good that Li Yu was not afraid, at least they could still stand there. Li Yu patted them lightly, as if he had cast a spell on them. They both collapsed limply! Fortunately, Li Yu was quick-witted and reached out to hold them up. Otherwise, they would have collapsed to the ground!

When Hu Qian saw this, he couldn't help but sneer:

"Haha! Look at how ugly they are..."

Li Yu couldn't help but feel a little annoyed! He said angrily:

"shut up!"

Then he said to Liu Hai and Qi Biao who came over after hearing the news:

"Big brother, second brother! Come, help me help them sit down!"

He then stretched out his hand and pinched the philtrum of both men, and it took a long time for the two men to calm down!

The two of them quickly turned over and knelt down, kowtowed and said:

"I am blind, please forgive me, Imperial Doctor, and don't chase us away!"

Li Yu hurriedly reached out and held the two of them and said:

"Brothers, please get up quickly. As the saying goes, ignorance is not a crime! No one will chase you away! Get up quickly and help move the things!"

When the two heard this, they seemed a little unconvinced. But then they heard Liu Hai laugh and say:

"Why are you still standing there? Why don't you go and help?"

The two of them then stood up hesitantly.

Originally, Li Yu did intend to let Hu Qian be the housekeeper of the Li Mansion. But after what happened just now, he couldn't help but hesitate. It was not because he didn't trust Hu Qian, but because he was worried that Hu Qian would bully the servants by taking advantage of his power. This was also something Hu Qian had not expected. If he knew, he would regret it to death!

Qi Biao and Liu Hai recruited two doormen, two handymen, and six maids, a total of ten people. With the addition of these ten people, the originally deserted courtyard now seemed full of vitality!

According to the imperial decree, Li Yu is the exclusive imperial physician of the Second Prince's Mansion and should report to the Second Prince's Mansion as soon as possible.

The next morning, Li Yu prepared to report to the Second Prince's residence alone. But Qi Biao and Liu Hai were worried and insisted on following him. Plum Blossom Fairy was also a little worried about Li Yu going out alone, so she asked Li Yu to take two people with him. Considering that the three of them had just arrived in the imperial city and were unfamiliar with the place, she asked them to take Hu Qian with them. After all, he had been in this imperial city for a long time, so he could at least lead the way for them.

Li Yu also thought it made sense, so he ordered someone to call Hu Qian over.

When Hu Qian heard that he was to lead the way to the Second Prince's residence to report, he was naturally overjoyed. Immediately, the four of them walked out of the residence, mounted their horses and left!
