Chapter 22: Steward Li's suspicions
The interior of the carriage is extremely spacious, and the entire interior of the carriage is thickly wrapped with fine satin to reduce the bumpiness of the people in the carriage.
And Lu Jin and Poria sat facing each other, with a small mahogany coffee table in the middle, on which were placed some of the girls' favorite food and gadgets, and sandalwood was burned, which made people feel peaceful.
"Little boy, what's your name?"
After the carriage drove out of a distance, Poria couldn't help it, and finally asked Lu Jin, who had been hanging his head and not speaking.
"My name is Lu Jin. ”
Lu Jin didn't plan to really have anything to do with a few people, so he casually said a fake name.
"Lu Jin, it's a good name, it seems that your father and mother should be someone who has read books!"
Poria was very happy that Lu Jin could tell her her name, and looked at Lu Jin with a smile and said.
Unexpectedly, Lu Jin listened to Poria's words, but instead lowered his head silently, and the expression on his face looked very lost.
"I ...... I am from Lanzhou City, my father and mother starved to death because of the drought some time ago, and I was the only one left in the family, I wanted to escape to Chongming City, but I met robbers on the road, and saw that I had no money on me, so I beat me up and left me here to die. ”
Lu Jin kept his head down when he spoke, and when he looked at it from Poria Cocos's perspective, he could only see Lu Jin's pale lips.
When he told about the past, his shoulders shook, as if he recalled a nightmare, and his heart tugged at it.
"When you arrive in Chongming City, you have no relatives and no support, maybe you will be bullied, it is better to stay in my house when you get to the city in a while, and it is not too late to leave when you find something to make a living!"
Poria really couldn't stand it, and blurted out indignantly.
"Good...... Okay, thank you Miss Poria!"
Lu Jin replied pretending to be happy.
I thought, what kind of person is he Lu Jin, he doesn't lie and doesn't make drafts, and it's not handy to deceive a simple little girl!
"Miss, how can you just take a strange man home, the master will kill me if he finds out?!"
As soon as he heard that Poria was going to bring Lu Jin, who was unknown, home, Lingzhi immediately began to object.
"Don't worry, Dad loves us so much, he won't punish us!"
And Poria didn't care, and patted Lingzhi's little hand flatteringly.
Poria Niang died early, and the master of Tianyuan Pavilion is well-known and affectionate, and he has not continued for more than ten years, and he loves his only little daughter even more!
It can be said that he is afraid of falling in his hand, and he is afraid of melting in his mouth, that is, the moon and stars in the sky want to pick Poria cocos, so he has developed Poria Cocos's simple and kind and a little willful character.
Lingzhi knew that Poria cocos looked soft and weak on the surface, but in fact, once the matter was decided, the eight cows couldn't pull it back!
So he stopped persuading, but glared at Lu Jin fiercely with murderous eyes all the way.
Of course Lu Jin didn't care, he directly ignored Lingzhi's gaze, and made Lingzhi so angry that he pulled the handkerchief in his hand into a ball.
Poria is simply a little sparrow, once the conversation box is opened, she can talk for a day and a night, and Lu Jin has been listening to Poria Mei Fei Fei dancing and telling various interesting stories to herself.
Lu Jin didn't laugh, she was so happy that she leaned back and leaned back.
Looking at Poria's innocent and kind appearance, and sighed, Lu Jin actually felt that she was a little envious of her life.
But everyone has their own different mission, and if he chooses this path, he will go on without looking back!
Even if the road to the end is full of thorns and swamps, he will not back down!
The carriage took about half a burnt incense to go, and finally came to the gate of Chongming City.
The soldiers guarding the door saw that it was the soft sedan chair of Tianyuan Pavilion and let it go directly, and the road was unimpeded.
But the place where the sedan chair arrived was not Tianyuan Pavilion, but stopped in front of an elegant and quiet compound.
"Miss, it's here, watch your step. ”
The sedan chair stopped steadily, and the coachman hurriedly ran over to help Poria get off the sedan chair.
"It's okay, I'm not that delicate!"
Poria waved her hand and said indifferently, and then jumped off the sedan chair with a cheer.
"Ah, finally home!"
The coachman saw that the young lady had no image, and even sighed and shook his head, it seems that the image of Poria in the minds of the next person has been finalized.
Poria was happy for a while, then turned around and greeted Lu Jin: "Lu Jin, come quickly, this is my home!"
I saw that the courtyard in front of me looked like a quiet courtyard where a small family lived, but the two stone lions standing majestically in front of the gate were well-made, and the black gold handles on the wooden courtyard door shone dazzlingly in the sunlight.
These are all from the hands of master carvers, and they also show the identity of the owner of the courtyard!
"Miss, you're back!"
The sound of Poria chirping at the gate of the courtyard finally attracted the attention of the people in the courtyard, and a short, fat middle-aged man in a blue vest walked towards them with a happy face.
"Steward Li, did Daddy ask me something?!"
The moment she saw Steward Li, Poria immediately pounced, and then asked flatteringly.
"Of course the master asked you, miss!"
Catching the poria like a little bird, Steward Li looked at her with loving eyes.
"That's over, I'll sneak out to play, and my dad will scold me again!"
After getting Steward Li's answer, Poria's mouth immediately flattened, and then said aggrievedly: "Don't worry, miss, I told the master that you and Lingzhi will study well with your father and son today!"
Looking at Poria's aggrieved appearance, Steward Li immediately felt distressed, stroked Poria cocos' hair and said.
"Hahaha, Steward Li, you're so good!"
Poria let out another cheer, then hugged him.
"Miss, what kind of system have you become, so that outsiders will inevitably gossip about you!"
Steward Li looked at Poria's reckless appearance, and also sighed deeply and said.
"Hmph, the mouth grows on them, if they want to talk, let them say it!" Poria snorted coldly nonchalantly, and then pulled Lu Jin behind him and introduced him to Steward Li, "This is the little boy I rescued on the road, his name is Lu Jin!"
"The boy who was rescued?"
Steward Li's small eyes narrowed, and only a narrow slit could be seen on his fat face.
The loving expression he had when he faced Poria just now had faded, and he had replaced it with the terrifying demeanor of everyone in charge!
"I've seen Steward Li, my name is Lu Jin, a person from Lanzhou City. ”
"Some time ago, Lanzhou City suffered a major drought, and my father and mother suffered misfortune, and I was the only one left in the family. ”
"I fled to Chongming City, but I met a villain on the road, and the villain saw that I was penniless, so I grabbed the humiliation and threw it halfway, but fortunately I met Miss Poria to rescue me!"
