Sighing softly, Zhu Zimo picked up a piece of yellow brocade on the bookcase and carefully wrapped the jade hosta in his hand, and then gently put it into an agarwood box on the bookcase, and there was also a slender object wrapped in blue brocade in the wooden box, which seemed to be also a hairpin.

In Daliang folk, giving peach blossoms represents the intention of the other party, and there is a willingness to tie the knot with the other party. And jade is also a kind of token. Leng Qing gave him this peach blossom hosta, do you know the meaning of this?

Closing the wooden box and getting up, Zhu Zimo took the agarwood box with the hosta and walked to a bookshelf, put the agarwood box in his hand on the top layer of the bookshelf and put it away, then turned around and walked out of the study, out of the Korean courtyard, and went to the front hall.

Along the way, Zhu Zimo was wondering who the "old man" in Lu Xueyue's mouth was, after all, what happened to the Zhu family during this time made many people avoid it. However, Zhu Zimo couldn't remember who this "old man" was, so he had to speed up his pace and go to the front hall.

Walking to the door of the front hall, Zhu Zimo saw from a distance a young man with all his black hair tied behind his head and a navy blue narrow-sleeved robe holding a blue and white tea cup in his hand, crossing Erlang's legs, sitting in the first position on the right under the main seat in the hall.

As if sensing Zhu Zimo's arrival, he could only hear the joking voice of the man in Tsing Yi resounding in the quiet hall: "When the guests visit, the Zhu Mansion only made a cup of old Biluochun for entertainment, why didn't they make this year's new tea? Could it be that the newly appointed head of the Zhu Mansion, the former Second Young Master Zhu, was such a stingy person? He was reluctant to even make a new cup of tea for the guests?"

Striding into the front hall and walking in front of the man who was sitting on the first place on the right side of the main seat in the hall, Zhu Zimo directly ignored the man's words just now, and only asked the other party in a gentle voice: "I wonder if Your Excellency is the old man in the mouth of the house slave?"

Hearing this, the man put down the tea cup in his hand, put his hands on the handles on both sides of the seat under him, crossed his legs, and posed like an uncle.

Tilting his head slightly, he squinted at Zhu Zimo who was standing in front of him with a smile on his face, the man hooked his lips and showed an evil smile, as if teasing: "Ah Mo, have you forgotten me after not seeing me for seven years?

The man who said this had fair and almost transparent skin, slender eyebrows, narrow red phoenix eyes, a straight and fine nose, slightly thin lips, a slightly pointed chin, and most importantly, his hair color became lighter one by one, starting from the roots of the hair, gradually turning from brown to gray, until the end of the finger turned white.

After looking carefully for a while, Zhu Zimo finally spoke: "Are you ...... Ahh

Hearing Zhu Zimo's implicit uncertain voice, the evil smile on the corner of the man's mouth was even worse.

Clear-eyed people should have seen that this person is Mu Ziru who separated from Lin Zhiwu and Lin Xiaoyang outside the south gate of Pingyang City five days ago!

Looking at Zhu Zimo, who was smiling at him like a humble child, Mu Ziru smiled evilly: "Ah Mo, can you stop laughing like that? Looking at me, I feel panicked! Also, I haven't seen you for a few years? Are you getting more and more stingy? Although I can't be regarded as a distinguished guest, I am a guest anyway! Why do you just let your subordinates in the house make a cup of aged Biluochun for the guests to drink? It's bitter and astringent, and it's hard to drink to death! Why don't you go and take out my favorite Xueyan tea!"

When Mu Ziru said this, the erlang leg that was cocked was still shaking and shaking, and it looked very unflat.

However, looking at Mu Ziru, who was so underwhelmed, Zhu Zimo just chuckled disappreliantly, and turned to the direction of the hall door and shouted in a voice that was neither high nor low: "Lu Xueyue." ”

"The head of the house. Lu Xueyue appeared at the door of the hall from the door of the hall in response, still bowing her head respectfully.

"Go to my yard, go to the side room, take out the agarwood box in the third drawer from the left in the top sandalwood cabinet, and make two cups of warm tea with the snow rock tea in the box. Remember, the boiling water for the first two times should be washed in and out quickly, and the third time the tea should be made with warm water. Zhu Zimo carefully instructed word by word.

"Yes. Lu Xueyue agreed and withdrew.

Turning around and taking a step, Zhu Zimo walked straight to the chair next to Mu Ziru and sat down, looked at Mu Ziru and asked with a smile: "After seven years away from home, you are finally willing to come back?"

Mu Ziru still crossed Erlang's legs and maintained that uncle-like appearance, only glanced at Zhu Zimo, and said with a smile: "Seven years is enough time for me to travel to every corner of the Tiancheng Continent, I have seen everything that should be seen and what should not be seen, and everything that should be known and what should not be known is also known, and gradually, I will not have the same mood as when I left home." I've been away from home for seven years, and I've missed you a little bit, so I'll come back and see. In other words, although the Zhu family has a big business, it is a single lineage, only to have two grandchildren in your life, I have been gone for seven years, and your kid has not been idle, so soon he became the head of the Zhu family, and now in the Zhu family, you can be regarded as covering the sky with one hand!"

"Have you ever been home?" Zhu Zimo didn't answer Mu Ziru's words, but just asked like this.

The head of the Zhu family, Zhu Zimo has never been uncommon. But providence makes people, and the position of the head of the Zhu family is that he stepped on the bones of his relatives and his mother......

Shaking his head, Mu Ziru shrugged his shoulders and said, "Not yet! I originally wanted to go to Jiangnan to see this year's martial arts conference, didn't I meet Brother Zhiwu on the road, I heard him say that the second lady died, so I came back first to worship the second lady." ”

Hearing Mu Ziru mention Liu Ruyun, a touch of pain flashed in Zhu Zimo's eyes, but he still maintained his habitual smile and said to Mu Ziru: "It's rare that you have this heart, if your mother and her know under the spring, she will be very grateful." As soon as the words changed, Zhu Zimo persuaded again: "When you come back, go back to see your father, he has missed you a lot in the past few years." If you're in your fifties, don't let him think about you all the time. ”

Silence, after Zhu Zimo said that he wanted him to go back to see the crepe doctor, Mu Ziru was silent.

Mu Ziru refused to answer, Zhu Zimo didn't make a sound, the two were deadlocked, no one spoke, and the empty hall fell silent in an instant.

After a long time, Lu Xueyue held a dark red round wooden tray in both hands, and two blue and white porcelain tea cups were placed on the tray, and walked into the front hall with light steps.

After walking in front of Zhu Zimo and Mu Ziru, Lu Xueyue said softly: "Family master, the tea is ready." ”

Seeing that Zhu Zimo nodded slightly, Lu Xueyue held the tray with one hand, picked up a tea cup placed on the tray with the other hand and carefully placed it on the coffee table in Zhu Zimo's hand, then picked up another tea cup placed on the tray and carefully placed it in Mu Ziru's hand, and when she withdrew her hand, she took away the blue and white porcelain tea cup containing the aged Biluochun.

Holding the tray with both hands, Lu Xueyue bent her legs and blessed her body, and said respectfully: "Master of the house, the slave and maid retire." ”

"Hmm. Zhu Zimo responded lightly, and Lu Xueyue retreated.

Reaching out to pick up the newly replaced tea cup in his hand, Mu Ziru opened the lid and took a sip of the tea with a faint fragrance in the cup, and sighed: "After seven years away from home, I finally drank Xueyan tea, which is known as the king of tea in the Nine Kingdoms. This taste...... It's still exactly the same as seven years ago!" After that, Mu Ziru took another sip of the snow rock tea in the cup, and praised it sincerely: "Good tea!"

Still smiling habitually, Zhu Zimo picked up the tea cup on the coffee table, opened the lid, smelled the refreshing fragrance, brought the cup to his lips, and took a sip of sweet and refreshing tea into his mouth.

"After worshipping the second lady, I will go home to have a look. A very light sentence floated into Zhu Zimo's ears.

The smile on the corner of Zhu Zimo's mouth was even worse, but because he was drinking tea, the smile was completely covered by the tea cup.

Gently put down the tea cup in his hand, looking at Mu Ziru who seemed to be drinking tea seriously, Zhu Zimo chuckled: "Father and son did not have an overnight feud, Doctor Crepe was also for your own good, but you were disobedient, and Doctor Crepe was just hoping that his son would become a dragon." ”

Pouting and putting down the tea cup in his hand, Mu Ziru sneered: "Ah Mo, you and I have been friends for so many years, who are you, don't others know who I don't know? Compared to me, do you dare to touch your own conscience and say that you don't hate Zhu Hui?"

Smiled helplessly, Zhu Zimo said indifferently: "Hate, why don't you hate?" However, what I hate is just that he ignores my mother's relatives. Besides, if a person dies like a lamp going out, he will never appear in my life again, and he will never see or hear again, and there will be no need to hate. Ah Huan, you are different from me, Zhu Hui is not only my son, he has never been willing to see me, but Doctor Crepe only has such a son as you, and he has always only hurt you, even if he has beaten and scolded you, it is because you are too disobedient and go against Doctor Crepe's wishes, and he really makes Doctor Crepe angry. ”

The matter of Chen Rou and Zhu Ziyao is only known to the people in the Zhu Mansion, and Zhu Zimo strictly ordered the subordinates in the Zhu Mansion to reveal the affairs of Chen Rou and Zhu Ziyao on the grounds of "preserving the reputation of the Zhu Mansion", and the offender will be punished from the mansion.

The wages of the Zhu Mansion are more than twice as high as those of the average rich family, so that no one is willing to lose such a high salary for a little bit of the master's business. Therefore, the outside world does not know that Chen Rou cannot have children, and Zhu Ziyao is not the heir of the Zhu family, and now Zhu Zimo's remarks are also impossible to fault.

Waving his right hand a little impatiently, Mu Ziru said impatiently: "Okay, okay, don't preach, I haven't said that I have won you since I was a child, no matter how you say it, you are justified." ”

Regarding Mu Ziru's impatience, Zhu Zimo just chuckled and shook his head.

Putting down the crossed legs of Erlang and standing up, Mu Ziru squinted at Zhu Zimo, and said solemnly: "Take me to the ancestral hall! ”
