Chapter 338: The Old Man
Since the main guests of the Xue Mansion today are Bai Guanghan and An Lan, Steward Xu is naturally not qualified to be a guest, so although he followed Bai Guanghan into the Xue Mansion together, he only stopped at the tea hall of the second gate. This place is a resting place specially set up by the Xue Mansion for the maids and servants of the guests.
"Your Excellency is Mr. Guanghan's entourage?" When he was drinking the fourth cup of tea, a little servant walked into the tearoom, looked for it, and walked up to him and asked.
Steward Xu raised his head: "Yes." As he spoke, his eyes fell on a letter in the little man's hand, and his heart jumped.
Sure enough, after listening to his confirmation, the little guy handed him the letter in his hand: "This is a letter from someone outside asking me to forward Mr. Guanghan." β
Steward Xu's face changed slightly, and he hurriedly spoke: "Is the person who delivered the letter still outside?" β
The little guy said, "Yes, he said he was waiting at the door." β
Steward Xu was going to go out, but when he heard this, he suddenly turned his head and said, "Wait at the door?" β
The little guy looked at Steward Xu a little inexplicably and nodded.
Steward Xu retracted his steps and subconsciously asked, "Who is it?" β
The little guy said: "It's a little coachman." β
The driver deliberately added the word "small" in front of him, which does not mean derogatory, but refers to the meaning of being young. Driving a car is not a simple errand, because most of those who can ride in a horse-drawn carriage are either rich or expensive, and their status is extraordinary. Therefore, whether the carriage can be driven fast and steady, and whether the horse can be suppressed when it is frightened, depends on whether the coachman's kung fu is excellent, so that most of the people who can eat this bowl of rice steadily must be men over thirty.
When the little guy had said these few words, he went out.
Steward Xu saw that the entourage in the tearoom who was also waiting for his master looked at him. He took the letter and went out of the tearoom. Just standing at the door of the tea room. And he stopped.
The letter was not sealed, but folded, and he first pinched it on the envelope, and in addition to the letter, there was a raised thing like a ring. He hesitated, glanced to both sides, and walked over to the pillars. Blocking his movements with his body, he opened the envelope, shook it lightly with his mouth down, and what fell out of the letter was a wrench.
As soon as Steward Xu saw the wrench, his face immediately changed, it was the wrench that Meng Sanye had been wearing on his hand.
He unfolded the letter almost eagerly, glanced at it, and then turned and walked inside.
The letter said it was for him, but it was actually addressed to Bai Guanghan. The person who wrote the letter said that Meng Sanye was in his hands, and Bai Guanghan hoped that he would be safe and sound. He had to go by himself, and no one could take him, nor ride in his own carriage, nor let anyone follow him, for the carriage carrying him was already waiting outside.
Steward Xu almost rushed into the front yard hall of the Xue Mansion, and suddenly broke the scene of laughter and noise inside, the owner of the Xue Mansion sank his face, and was about to speak, Steward Xu said to Bai Guanghan first: "Mr. Guanghan, the little one has something important to report!" β
The master of the Xue Mansion had no choice but to suppress the words in his mouth and look at Bai Guanghan.
Bai Guanghan nodded slightly to Steward Xu, and Steward Xu walked over, handed the reloaded letter to Bai Guanghan, and said in a low voice, "Can Mr. move out first?" There were people waiting outside. β
Bai Guanghan just opened the letter, and Steward Xu looked at him nervously, but saw that after he read the letter, he didn't say anything, and even when he saw the wrench, his face did not change at all, and he still put the letter back into the envelope with the wrench as if nothing happened.
Steward Xu couldn't help but say: "Sir, that wrench is indeed the third master's thing, it is worn by the third master on his hand every day, the little one is not mistaken, if the gentleman doesn't believe it, you can let the third grandmother come and identify it." β
Bai Guanghan turned his head and asked the maid waiting next to him to go to the backyard to call An Lan over to him, the maid kept a smile on her face, but her eyes glanced at the master of the Xue Mansion inquiringly, and the master of the Xue Mansion said, "Don't go quickly!" β
After the maid went out, the master of the Xue Mansion smiled and said to Bai Guanghan: "Mr. Guanghan, what happened?" β
Bai Guanghan nodded slightly, and without explaining, he stood up and said, "Lost company." β
"Sir, please." The master of the Xue Mansion also got up, and then the guests in the hall also got up, and almost all of the people here today are the earth overlords of Hegu, and they are all above the top on weekdays. With the identity of Steward Xu, they have no qualifications to take a look, so at this time, Steward Xu suddenly saw such a scene, even if he knew that the identity of the Great Incense Master was not ordinary, he was still a little surprised in his heart.
No matter what the people of the Xue Mansion are thinking, when this superficial and amiable kung fu is enough to show that no one dares to offend the Great Incense Master lightly.
After Bai Guanghan left the hall, he didn't continue to walk out, but stopped there and waited for An Lan.
Steward Xu was anxious, and couldn't help asking, "Sir, do you want to take Miss An Lan with you?" β
Bai Guanghan didn't answer and asked, "What do you think of today's Xue Mansion?" β
Steward Xu was stunned for a while, and then said, "There are quite a few guests." β
Bai Guanghan glanced at the door of the hall, and after he came out, none of the people inside followed: "I didn't ask a word just now, aren't they curious about what happened to me at all?" β
Steward Xu was stunned again, but soon, he was shocked in his heart, looked at Bai Guanghan cautiously, and hesitated for a moment before saying, "The people of the Xue Mansion already knew what was going to happen. β
Bai Guanghan stood there with his hands in his hands, looking at the scenery in this mansion in silence, the people of the Xue Mansion not only knew that they invited him over today, but they mainly wanted to see how he made his choice. Now, everyone should know that he is sick, but no one knows what Cheng DΓΉ has come to and whether he has the ability to set up a fragrance realm.
Therefore, if he dares to accept the invitation in this letter, it proves that he is still capable and has no fear. If he doesn't dare to respond, then whoever it is, will inevitably have to think more.
If he goes to the appointment, they will be jealous, and even if the people of the Xue Mansion want to be unfavorable to An Lan, they will not choose to be in their own mansion.
If he didn't show up, they would be even more eager to try, plus the man who had followed him all the way......
After a while, An Lan came over, and Tong followed along.
"Sir?" After An Lan saw Bai Guanghan, her face faintly showed a little worry, "But is there news?" β
Bai Guanghan handed her the letter in his hand, An Lan took it, and Tong immediately leaned over and stretched his neck, looking eager.
"It's really the third master!" When Tong saw the wrench, he covered his mouth, and his eyes suddenly swirled in the circles under his eyes.
After reading the letter, An Lan raised her face: "Mr. is going?" β
Bai Guanghan nodded slightly, without a word of explanation, just looked at her.
"Then go sir." An Lan also nodded, "I'll send Mr. out." β
Tong Shi kept holding the letter and the wrench tightly, wanting to cry and laugh, but looking at An Lan and Bai Guanghan's silent faces, she couldn't help it, didn't say anything, and just followed An Lan closely.
Just after going out of the gate of Xue's Mansion and seeing the "little" coachman driving a carriage waiting for them at the door, An Lan couldn't help but be stunned, and then took a closer look at it to make sure that he didn't admit his mistake, and was surprised, how could it be him!
The "little" coachman didn't recognize An Lan, and after looking at them, he looked at the portrait in his hand again, and said a little ruffianly: "It's calculated, let's go, hurry up and get in the car, this son." (To be continued......)
