Chapter 211 - Gu Family Servants

The group of youngsters all felt that Luo Xiao was an interesting person, and they did not have the same fears or worries as the older generation, so they were very unguarded when interacting with him.

However, they had all received a good education while growing up, and they knew that no matter how eager they were to get along with Luo Xiao, they should give him a bit of freedom and peace to settle in his new environment.

"We will get going now. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to find us. You can ask any servant or guard in the compound, and they will tell you the directions to find each of us.

"The Patriarch will look after you, and I am certain that he has already sent servants to take care of your daily life needs. The people you brought should also have arrived already."

Everyone was eager to do their utmost in an attempt to ensure that Luo Xiao was feeling at home, and he could not help but feel warm in his heart as he witnessed their eagerness to welcome him.

He had long since expected that they would be hostile or worried about gains and losses, but after seeing their sincere and genuine concern, he understood why Jiang Yao had said that the Gu family was among his most valued subordinates. They were not only powerful but also understood the importance of being upright.

Luo Xiao quickly assured the group of youngsters that he was very happy and grateful for their help. He also made sure to appease them with promises of coming to them if he had any doubts. Only after guaranteeing the same thing a few times repeatedly did the other young people leave him alone.

Taking a deep breath, Luo Xiao turned around and looked at the siheyuan in front of him. It was very beautiful with attention to detail in its construction. The flowers that were blooming in the garden were all trimmed to perfection, and the colors were lightening up the entire building.

The conversation between the group of youngsters and himself had also alarmed the servants inside the courtyard, and they all hurried to welcome their new master; slightly worried but also expectant.

Earlier that day, two strange guards had appeared. Both of them had only just shown their faces before they vanished, and no one knew where they had gone, but they did not dare ask either.

The servants in the Gu family had all been sold at a young age and their deeds of sale had been collected, making it clear that their life and death belonged to their masters.

Ever since their purchase, they had been trained by special teachers, and they knew their identity well. They were never mistreated, and they were given enough food and clothing to live a carefree life; however, this was only after they accepted their lot in life.

If a servant began to feel a sense of arrogance and superiority, they would be warned, and after three warnings, they would be either sold or executed, depending on the severity of their crime.

Although they were merely servants, they still belonged to the Gu family, so their every action also displayed the Gu family's demeanor. With such an identity, responsibilities naturally followed.

Luo Xiao could see that the many servants in front of him looked at him with curiosity and some fear. They were all newly assigned to this young master, and they did not know what kind of personality he had.

Although the Gu family did not allow for unwarranted violence against servants, it was hard to say what happened behind closed doors, so they could not help but get worried, especially since he was not originally part of the Gu family.

"I will be in your care from now on." Luo Xiao could see many different emotions within the eyes of the servants that had gathered, but he was pleasantly surprised to see that none of them seemed to hold signs of jealousy or hostility towards him.

As long as they did not make trouble for him, he had no intention of making life difficult for them either.

"Young Master, we have prepared all the various rooms in the courtyard, but we are not certain where you wish to allocate your servants and where to live on your own. Please follow behind this lowly one as I show you around." The one who spoke was a young man, he seemed to be approximately a year or two younger than Luo Xiao, but his demeanor was neither flattering nor arrogant.

Luo Xiao had a good impression of the young man right away and felt that he was usable. Although he felt that all the servants were better than expected, he still needed a confidante, and this young man could be observed for a period of time to see if he matched the requirements.

Luo Xiao was well aware of the dangers he was currently facing. Although the patriarch and Gu Tianhu knew of his true origin, he needed to build up his own power and followers. So far, everything he had was given to him by Jiang Yao, and while he was happy to accept the various benefits, he also needed to hone his own abilities.

If this young man was suitable, then he could become the first general to lead his army.

"Show me the way." Luo Xiao nodded his head and looked around. The siheyuan was very well maintained and the quality of everything was also among the best. He felt very satisfied with the current situation.

"I will be living in the main room, while Ye Chao and Ye Feng will live in the side room. You will be living together with Ye Chao and Ye Feng. The rest will reside in the servants' quarters." Luo Xiao pointed to the young man who had been the first to speak.. He felt that if the young man was close by, it would be easier to test him, both on his ability to notice something amiss, but also on his personal qualities.
