"You?" Shumo laughed softly kindly, without any contempt, and said, "How much money do you make to dare to invite your son to dinner?" You know that Childe's pot of tea is a tael of silver. ”

A pot of tea for one or two silvers is actually not very expensive, and the knowledge of tea is too deep.

But for her now, it's astronomical. I really can't afford it.

But she just wanted to express her heart, not pomp.

He said, "If you can't afford to ask for something expensive, you can ask for something that isn't expensive." It's not too late to have breakfast now, I'll invite my son to have breakfast, drink a bowl of porridge and eat a bun. ”

Invite the son to drink porridge and eat steamed buns?

Shumo blinked his eyes and didn't know what to say, these two things would be very cheap in the street stalls and small shops, but the high-end food tubes that Gongzi could go to were very particular about the dosage, and the prices would not be low, so it was estimated that they would have to get one or two.

But seeing that Lin Zhu was so enthusiastic and sincere, it was not easy to refuse, so he said: "In this case, you will personally go to invite Gongzi, and Gongzi will also have something to do with you." ”

What will happen to Jin Xiaoguang looking for her?

That is, if you have met a few times, what will happen.

Puzzled, he followed Shumo through a few streets and alleys to a quiet alley. The alley is not deep, not far into the door is a gate that does not show the mountain and does not show the water, there is no legendary majestic stone lion in front of the door, there is no white marble steps, the carved lacquer gate is closed, the door is two yellow copper rings, the door number reads: Dingyuan Mansion.

Shumo walked in with Lin Zhu through a small door next to the gate, and there was a doorman with clear eyebrows standing inside. Seeing Shumo, he bowed his head respectfully and said, "Lord Yun is back?" ”

Shumo nodded and walked straight inside.

Lord Cloud!

Shumo is also an adult? Not a little retinue?

Then it is not a level with yourself, and you will be measured in the future.

Seeing that she was restrained, Shumo guessed her thoughts, smiled and said, "They are screaming, where am I an adult, just Gongzi's personal guard." ”

Proton Mansion is simple and unpretentious, but it exudes a domineering atmosphere, and when you enter the gate, there is a tall square blue brick wall, each brick has been polished, and there are carved beasts of different shapes and postures. It's three-dimensional. If it can be preserved to the previous life, it is definitely an ancient cultural heritage that is protected by the first class.

Lin Zhu followed Shumo with great reverence, entered from the side of the wall, and walked along a bluestone-paved path. On both sides of the road are lush pagoda-like pines and cypresses. Forest-like. In the meantime, there are faintly visible strange stones. Occasionally, there are one or two yellow spring flowers. A slight breeze blows coolly. It feels like you're walking into a deep valley.

Is this a mansion or a park?

The trail is very long, and after walking for a long time, it is clear in front of you. A huge garden surrounded by a white marble fence jumped into view, and the flower seedlings in the garden had grown, tender and green, and at the corners, there were already those small daisies quietly blooming shyly.

A white-haired gardener is squatting inside to pull weeds.

Walking through the back of the garden, there is a row of buildings with carved beams and painted cornices and arches, wide verandahs, dark red carved columns with exquisite flowers. At both ends of the verandah, there are several peach blossoms competing for beauty at this time.

Shumo took Lin Zhu along the path on the side of the garden and walked to the verandah, Lin Zhu turned his head slightly and looked back, and there was a faint bamboo behind him.

There were a few young men with clear eyebrows standing on the verandah, and they all bowed their heads when they saw the book and ink.

This should be where Jin Xiaoguang lives, it is really beautiful. It didn't look inconspicuous on the outside, not even as good as the ordinary people she saw, but when she got inside, where was the mansion where people lived, it was simply a park and a garden. Living in these two places should be very pleasant.

Shumo led her to an open door, the door was very wide, and the threshold was dark red, very high, and it took Lin Zhu a little effort to collapse into it.

This is a large and bright room, the walls are very white, inlaid with exquisite glass lamps, Jin Xiaoguang sits behind a large square table, the table is placed with thick books and documents, pen, ink, paper and inkstone, soft and low eyebrows obediently standing in the corner of the table to concentrate on grinding.

Not far from the square table, there were two middle-aged men standing upright, with their hands hanging down and their feet together, very deferential.

Shumo walked over lightly and stood on the other side of Jin Xiaoguang, signaling with his eyes that Lin Shu could come over,

Lin Zhu didn't know the situation, didn't dare to rush over, and stood obediently on the inside of the door.

Just wait here, wait for the people to finish their work, and listen to what they are told.

Jin Xiaoguang didn't seem to notice the storage of Shumo Linzhu at all, and spoke to the two men in a voice that was not angry but threatening, as if he was condemning and as if he was giving orders, and the two men kept blaming themselves, and then agreed with their mouths.

Seeing that they had a good attitude, Jin Xiaoguang picked up another piece of paperwork, read it very carefully, picked up the pen and wrote a few words and threw it aside. The ink dried out slightly, and he held it in both hands and handed it to the two of them.

It seems that they are signing a letter of responsibility and a letter of guarantee.

The two men had just bowed down and stepped back, when another young talent entered. Stand not far from the square table and bow your head.

Jin Xiaoguang pointed to the chairs with delicate carved backs placed on both sides of the room and said, "Young Master Qin, please take a seat." ”

The young man sat down on a chair, and after a while a pretty little maid with a tea tray came in from outside the door, and placed the tea cup on the small table in front of the chair with her hands and feet, poured fragrant tea, and bowed her head.

Qin Gongzi and Jin Xiaoguang talked word by word, Lin Zhu understood that he was talking about a trade business, and the silk from Dingyuan would be transported to the capital and handed over to the silk cloth village under the jurisdiction of this young talent.

It seems that Jin Xiaoguang is in the office and handling official business.

Jin Xiaoguang is young, but he talks wisely, calmly and steadily, and Lin Zhu secretly admires him.

It seems that this Proton Mansion should not only be the residence of Proton who came to the capital to be hostage, but also used as an office in the capital city.

After dealing with several waves of things, I finally settled down.

Jin Xiaoguang leisurely picked up a cup of tea, took a few sips very elegantly and asked, "It's all sold out?" ”

Shumo said on the side: "It's over, it's all for the third son of Li." ”

Jin Xiaoguang nodded, raised his eyes to see Lin Zhu still standing obediently on the inside of the door, smiled and said, "Zhu'er, I called you here today, I want to ask you for advice." ”

"Excuse me?" Lin Zhu said funny: "Jin Gongzi just asks, if he has something, how can the slave dare to afford to ask for advice." ”

Lin Zhu's speech was very old-fashioned, which was very incommensurate with her immature appearance.

Jin Xiaoguang glanced at each other, and Jin Xiaoguang said: "My son is not good at things that he doesn't understand, so naturally he asks for advice, you first follow Rou Ni to the back kitchen to eat, and then talk about it when you come back." ”

It's a good thing to go to the back kitchen to eat, and you can save money on this meal.

But her original intention was to invite Jin Xiaoguang Shumo to breakfast, it was his business whether he went or not, and she couldn't wait for him not to go, but she must invite, even if it was for show.

That is, to be sincere and sincere, and to return personal affection.

So she saw that Rou Ni walked over very kindly, standing still, her eyes looking at Shumo. 、

Shumo smiled and whispered a few words to Jin Xiaoguang.

Jin Xiaoguang let out an "oh" in surprise, looked at Lin Zhu and said, "Zhu'er, do you really want to invite me to dinner?" (To be continued......)
