When he first saw the Dingguo Mansion, Tang Jin was surprised at first sight, not because of how luxurious the Guogong Mansion was, but on the contrary, it was not only not luxurious, but even a little shabby and shabby. The Duke of the Kingdom is equivalent to the king of the county in terms of title, although there is no substantial fief, but this name alone can be worth a lot of money, even if the court gives less money, as long as the people of the Guogong Mansion are not fools, they can also have a good income if they partner with others to do a business or something.

But in front of the Guogong Mansion, two doors with paint off, an old man who is old and looks like he can be blown away by a gust of wind, and an old plaque, this is the façade of the Guogong Mansion. Honestly, if you're coming at night, this place definitely ticks all the boxes for a murderous house adventure.

Surprised, surprised, what should be done still has to be done. Try to come up with his softest voice, Tang Jin leaned in front of the old man, "Tang Jin, the son of Dongxian Wang, came to visit Dingguo Gong, and asked the old man to pass it on." ”

Before the words fell, the old man shuddered suddenly, Tang Jin ran away without pulling his legs directly, if the old man fell to the ground and falsely accused himself, it would be better to say, he couldn't afford to pay that money, if he was left by his own words, then his own nature would be bad.

Fortunately, what Tang Jin was worried about did not happen, the old man took the post, glanced at Tang Jin, bowed his head, Tang Jin hurriedly stopped him, "I can't help it, I can't help it, don't care about the courtesy, let's spread it quickly." ”

Those officials and uncles worship themselves, and they have already counted their lives, so if this old man also worships them...... Tang Jin felt that his life had to be folded for at least five lifetimes.

Fortunately, the old man was not pedantic, and immediately responded, trembling towards the house. Looking at the back of the old man's faltering steps, Tang Jin suddenly felt that the people in the Dingguo Mansion were still very smart, putting such an old man at the door, the one who came to visit spoke louder, and the old man lay down, earning enough expenses for a year at a time. The main business of Dingguo Mansion is to touch porcelain, do you dare to believe it?

However, although the old man's walking was a little unsteady, his speed was still quite fast, Tang Jin didn't wait long, and a middle-aged man in a Confucian shirt walked out, and at the same time, Tang Jin felt an oncoming bookish aura.

"The contemporary Dingguo Gong Shen Kuo has seen His Royal Highness the Prince!"

Tang Jin just wanted to return the gift, but he was suddenly stunned in place, and asked with a confused face, "What's your name?" ”

The bookish middle-aged man on the other side was slightly stunned, and said instinctively: "Shen Kuo, generalized Kuo." ”

"Why don't you write "Dream Creek Pen Talk"......" Tang Jin couldn't help complaining, needless to say, such a unique name must have been given by Mr. Shen Mo, so I really felt that there was no other traverser?

"Oh, Shen Guogong forgive me, this son of the world entered the palace last night to face the saint, and he couldn't rest well, so his brain is a little chaotic, please don't be surprised." Tang Jin also reacted instantly, and hurriedly prevaricated.

"His Royal Highness the Prince of the World is serious, the Emperor praised you in the main hall today, presumably His Royal Highness the Prince had a very happy conversation with His Majesty last night, and it is normal to be tired

, even so, please move to the cold house and take a break. Shen Kuo said respectfully.

"Xie Shen Guogong's good intentions, then the son of the world is welcome."

"The visit of the prince is really brilliant, where do you need to be polite, His Royal Highness the prince please!" Shen Kuo said sideways.

Tang Jin also nodded and went straight into the mansion. After entering the Guogong Mansion, Tang Jin understood what it meant to have a cave, although the façade did not look good, but the inside was not bad.

The simple but comfortable corridor, the garden planted with all kinds of vegetables and fruits and even medicinal herbs, the rockery with a unique shape and some poetry and book charm, and even the bluestone wall tiles give people a leisurely and complacent feeling like a water town in the south of the Yangtze River. If other people's mansions highlight the surface and luxury, then the Dingguo Mansion highlights the interior and temperament.

"It is worthy of being the former residence of a generation of Confucian Silent Lords, not as superficial as other mansions, but full of elegance and charm." Tang Jin couldn't help but comment.

"His Royal Highness is an elegant person, and he can see the difference in the house at a glance. is not like other officials and nobles, but will only blindly feel shabby. Shen Kuo looked at Tang Jin in surprise and said with a smile. The Guogong Mansion was built by his great-grandfather Shen Mo himself, and at the beginning of its establishment, he took the path of emphasizing the inside and ignoring the appearance, but few people can see it.

"Lord Shen praises falsely, this son is just a ......" Before Tang Jin finished speaking, the whole person was stunned in place, and even the corners of his mouth twitched involuntarily.

Shen Kuo was slightly stunned, and looked along Tang Jin's line of sight, only to see his gaze staring at a stone wall in the garden that was used for dividing the scenery, with several strange characters engraved on it.

"Oh, this is the shadow wall inscribed by Grandpa Tai himself, but this content is in his old man's original code language, and we still don't know what it means." Shen Kuo smiled.

"Nonsense, of course you don't know what it means...... This is a special English ......," Tang Jin smiled bitterly in his heart. This character is none other than the English letters, which are joined together to form a well-known verb starting with "F". At this moment, Shen Mo's image of an elegant gentleman that had just been established in Tang Jin's heart completely collapsed.

"By the way, Grandpa Tai said back then that this shadow wall is facing the direction of the palace, and it is his wish to the first emperor, but unfortunately no one has been able to unravel what it means." Shen Kuo said regretfully.

Hearing this, Tang Jin glanced back at him suddenly, looked the child who didn't know anything up and down, patted him on the shoulder, and said secretly: "You'd better be glad that no one cracked it, otherwise your family will probably have been reunited with the old man." scolded the emperor, and scolded so blatantly, he was really a model for us and other traversers. ”

Shen Kuo said that he couldn't understand Tang Jin's action of patting his shoulder, but seeing his embarrassed look, he seemed to recognize the words on the shadow wall, and immediately Shen Kuo's whole person became excited, grabbed Tang Jin's shoulder and said, "His Royal Highness the Prince of the World."

Know this codeword? ”

Tang Jin thought about it, the fairy land lie he had made up before was not deliberately concealed, and sooner or later it would spread in the capital, and he also said that he and Shen Mo went to the same place, and it didn't seem to be an incredible thing to be able to recognize the code words now.

"I wonder if Shen Guogong has ever heard the rumors of this son traveling to the fairyland? The fairyland I went to is the same as the fairyland that Shen Guogong went, so I can recognize these codes. ”

"This ...... This...... Is His Royal Highness the Prince serious? Shen Kuo had already known about this, but he had always only regarded it as a rumor, and now Tang Jin seemed to recognize the codeword, even if Shen Kuo believed half of it.

"It's serious, it's just the words on this shadow wall...... It's better for you not to know, it's easy to have big disasters, and Lord Shen was really a bold person back then. If Shen Guogong didn't believe it, I don't know if Lord Shen had left similar code words? This son can help you interpret it now. Tang Jin immediately asked the question he wanted to ask the most, the purpose of his coming was to see if Shen Mo had left anything behind, and he was still thinking about how to speak, but now it's okay, the reason is sufficient.

"Yes! And it's very important! My Shen family has been guarding it for a long time in accordance with the ancestral teachings, and I also asked His Royal Highness the Prince to wait in the living room first, and Shen will come when he goes. After that, without waiting for Tang Jin to say more, he left in a hurry, as if what he left behind was really something very important.

Tang Jin glanced at the other party strangely, although he didn't understand why he was in such a hurry, but he himself was very curious about what Shen Mo left behind, and it was very likely that it was left for the next traverser. However, he was still patient, and went to the living room to wait first.

After a while, Shen Kuo went and returned with a large box, still holding a yellowed letter paper in his hand. Placing the box on the table in front of Tang Jin, Tang Jin glanced at it curiously, the box was a box made of pure steel, which looked quite firm, and there were three locks hanging on it...... Three combination locks, no need to ask, are definitely the handiwork of the traverser.

"This box is the relic left by my grandfather back then, it contains extremely important things, and the code to open the box is written on this letter paper in my hand, but only people who know the code can open it." Shen Kuo said as he handed the letter paper in his hand to Tang Jin.

Tang Jin glanced at it curiously, and then ...... The corners of his mouth twitched again. It's true that it's written letters, but this time it's not English, it's pinyin, so Lord Shen is considering that the next traverser may be an English scumbag? Are you really ...... Intimate! Didn't you consider the possibility that the traveler might be a foreigner? it! The second one is repeated in English! Get...... served.

Of course, this alone didn't make the corners of Tang Jin's mouth twitch, it was really these three questions......

"When is China's National Day?"

"When was the Beijing Olympics held?"

"What's the most inhumane system of work?"

Lord Shen, you are operating, a batch of sassy.
