Chapter 327: Meeting
If you want to say that this is the boundary of the Lin family, yes, this is indeed the boundary of the Lin family, but who would build a road at home?
In this complex of buildings that have been called forest houses, there is also a courtyard, which is distinguished by obvious decoration, and there is no need to say much about the furnishings on one side.
A garden within a garden.
Before the car arrived, the iron door in front of him slowly opened, and a towering building similar to a manor appeared in Zhou Ruocheng's field of vision.
When the car drove in, there was a sudden barking of dogs, and a Doberman Pinscher with green tendons with soft development, with a big iron chain around his neck, and a few gardeners with crooked hats and shotguns on their shoulders led them, constantly totemic to the side of the car.
Zhao Qingyuan was also frightened when she saw this posture, and quickly got into Zhou Ruocheng's arms.
"Don't worry, as long as you follow us, these guard dogs won't do anything to you." The hostess said the same.
Zhou Ruocheng just laughed dryly, and he didn't know if they were doing it on purpose or if this was the so-called courtyard of someone else's house.
After driving for about five minutes, the car passed through a row of red and brown forests, and finally saw what the forest house should look like, which was even bigger than expected.
"The main house of the Lin family is built of marble and glazed stone, built a hundred years ago, when it was only a monastery, after repair, it became the main residence of the Lin family, from this side you can see a total of six load-bearing columns, each pillar is carved with a different carving, respectively, twelve angels in Western European mythology... The hospitality is still being introduced.
However, Zhou Ruocheng said these things to Zhou Ruocheng, and he didn't understand them, and now he just craned his neck and looked at the scenery outside.
When the car heard the main entrance, the waitress took a step, got out of the car, and then opened the door and waited for Zhou Ruocheng and them to come down.
Zhou Ruocheng got out of the car first, and then helped Zhao Qingyuan down, looking back at the door of the red and brown book that was more than a foot high, and the pattern on the gate was a wheel with twelve swords stuck together.
"It's the wheel of judgment, too." The hostess wanted to introduce her, but the door opened first.
From the moment the door was opened, a man gradually appeared in the middle of the door, this man was about one meter eight tall, smiling, looking like a twenty-five or sixteen-year-old, wearing a dressy suit, with a ruby stud pinned to his left ear, and his left hand and right hand overlapped in front of him.
And as the door opened, it was found that in addition to this person's accident, he was actually surrounded by people, and to the left of the man stood a man in a tuxedo, with a pair of glasses on the bridge of his nose, and a chain attached to it, which seemed to be a butler.
On the other side stood a woman, her hair combed back high, dressed in what seemed to be a maid's costume (to be clear, not a maid's costume!). It is the most traditional group of cylinders that mop the floor from the hem of the skirt. οΌ
These three people all looked at Zhou Ruocheng and Zhao Qingyuan with a smile on their faces, and they also had a common feature, that is, they looked better than the other, as if they shouldn't be here if they weren't good-looking.
When the door was fully opened, it was found that there were actually two groups of people standing from both sides of the door, a row of male maids and a row of maids, all standing upright.
"Teacher Zhou~ It's waiting for you!" The man standing in the middle stepped forward with a smile and opened his arms, but when he was about to lean on Zhou Ruocheng, the two of them converged and reached out towards Zhou Ruocheng.
Zhou Ruocheng was also stunned for a moment, but he probably understood what he meant, and he also stretched out his hand, and the two of them overlapped their hands.
"Teacher Zhou, look up for a long time." The man was still smiling, and his hand was moving up and down with the other's hand.
Zhou Ruocheng also responded with a smile, embarrassed but graceful.
"Ah, I haven't introduced myself yet, in Xia Lin Xiangrong, presumably Zhou
The teacher should have heard of it. The other party politely introduced himself to Zhou Ruocheng.
"You are the eldest young master Lin Xiangrong? Look up for a long time. Zhou Ruocheng also said with a smile.
"Haha, don't dare to be, don't dare to be." Lin Xiangrong still said with a smile, and then saw Zhao Qingyuan who was standing on the side, "This beautiful young lady should be Teacher Zhou's wife, Miss Zhao Qingyuan, right?" Hello Miss Zhao, you are indeed even better looking than rumored. β
After listening to the other party's words, Zhao Qingyuan also smiled: "Young Master Lin, you have won the award." β
"You two have come from afar, come in quickly." Saying that, Lin Xiangrong invited Zhou Ruocheng and them to the house.
"That Young Master Lin." Zhou Ruocheng also said.
"Teacher Zhou, what do you command?" Lin Xiangrong asked.
"Eh, it's not good to call me a teacher all the time, and it's weird, isn't it?" Zhou Ruocheng was a little embarrassed.
"Eh, you can be called a teacher by others wherever you are a teacher." Lin Xiangrong said.
"This is too polite, if Young Master Lin doesn't dislike it, why don't I call you Brother Lin?" Zhou Ruo became enlightened.
"Eh, how did this ever make you, since you said so, then I will also exaggerate a little, call you Brother Zhou?" Lin Xiangrong also said.
"Brother Lin?" Zhou Ruocheng shouted again.
"Brother Zhou?" Lin Xiangrong also replied with a smile.
Immediately, the two of them laughed again as if they had reached a consensus.
Talking and laughing, he walked forward and walked up the steps that led to the top.
The main entrance opens up after the stairs to a large hall, and the whole room shows a sense of splendour, and the Western European paintings on the ceiling show a different story with each crystal lamp as a module, illuminating the smooth floor, and the floor is shiny when you step on it.
"That Brother Lin, I still have to explain to you what happened yesterday." Zhou Ruocheng didn't hide it anymore, so he said it directly.
"It's okay, I also know the specific situation, everything has to come first, and it's really my fault that I didn't greet you in advance, but didn't you come today to appreciate your face? That's the biggest remedy for me. Lin Xiangrong said with a smile.
"Old man Nalin called me. What's the matter? Zhou Ruocheng didn't beat around the bush, originally at this time, Zhou Ruocheng couldn't tell that the cigarettes and wine in his hand were taken out, but he always felt that Zhou Ruocheng's twenty yuan a pack of Liqun cigarettes in this place was an insult to the ashtray in this place, so he could only ask secretly.
"It's okay, don't worry, Brother Zhou, the old man still has some things to do now, it's better to take advantage of this time to rest and rest, you can go to the lounge to sit, or go to the big bathhouse to take a bath or something, and wait for the dinner to start. Oh, and do you have a habit of taking a shower before eating? Lin Xiangrong asked again.
"Haha, it's okay, it's okay, then let's go to the lounge and sit for a while." Zhou Ruocheng also nodded, and walked to the side of the lounge under the leadership of the maid.
It is said that it is a lounge, which is larger than the living room of Zhou Ruocheng's house, and there is even a bar, where you can order whatever you want to drink and eat.
Where Zhou Ruocheng and Zhao Qingyuan sat down on the leather sofa, there was a so-called luxury smell everywhere.
"Sir." Zhao Qingyuan was also a little frightened by this different scene, and looked at Zhou Ruocheng worriedly.
"What for?" Zhou Ruocheng looked at her.
"I seem to be a little scared." Zhao Qingyuan said.
"What are you afraid of, I'm here, you see I'm also the first time, am I also afraid?" Zhou Ruocheng said with a smile.
"Shouldn't you have promised them to come in the first place?" Zhao Qingyuan now regrets it a little.
"Since they're all here, why do you have to retreat, little baby." Zhou Ruocheng scratched Zhao Qingyuan's nose, "Don't worry, it will be fine if you have a gentleman." β
After about ten minutes, Lin Xiangrong walked into the lounge
Sitting down, he said embarrassedly, "I'm sorry, I have some trivial things to deal with, I'm late." As he spoke, he unbuttoned his suit and sat next to Zhou Ruocheng, took out a pack of cigars from his arms, took out one and handed it to Zhou Ruocheng, "Brother Zhou?" Got one? β
"No, no, no, I'm not used to smoking." Zhou Ruocheng waved his hand.
If you want to change it, Zhou Ruocheng took it for the sake of face, but now Zhou Ruocheng is still smart, after all, it was a very naΓ―ve move to be reckless about this unknown thing from the beginning.
Seeing that Zhou Ruocheng didn't ask Lin Xiangrong to take it back, he picked up the cigar holder on the table, and after cutting off one end, a male maid on the side lit a match and sent it forward, Lin Xiangrong skillfully leaned over and lit it, then leaned back on the chair, took a long breath, and spit out a white smoke ring to the ceiling.
"Today, I learned that Brother Zhou is coming, and I also quickly asked people to decorate the house, how can Brother Zhou, are you still used to it?" Lin Xiangrong said to Zhou Ruocheng.
"How can I be so formal, I'm not a serious person." Zhou Ruocheng smiled, you have been showing off your wealth with me every second since you entered the door, how can you get used to it.
"Eh, what you want, a young talent like Brother Zhou, I have heard your story a long time ago, and I have always admired you very much, but we are in different places, so we have never been able to meet." Lin Xiangrong said.
"Shall we meet now?" Zhou Ruocheng also said with a smile.
"I'm ashamed to say it, in fact, I knew the news of your coming to Shanghai at the beginning like I came to greet you, but I don't want to be my brother to give you a head start, and there was so much unpleasantness, here I apologize to you on behalf of my brother, I hope that Brother Zhou will not remember my brother's hatred." Lin Xiangrong said again.
"Eh, it's okay, it's okay, my relationship with Lin Yixuan is actually pretty good now, it's a long time ago, it's okay, it's okay, I've forgotten about it a long time ago." Zhou Ruocheng said with an indifferent face.
"It's a shame to say that the old man is ashamed, it is because of this happened, presumably Brother Zhou, you also have a big opinion on our family, which caused me to dare not come to the door to see me, although it is my brother's mistake, but he represents our Lin family, I am afraid that you will think that I am a lobbyist for my brother, so I will snub you." Lin Xiangrong said again.
"How can I be, how can I be, I'm not the kind of person who has a little face, right?" Zhou Ruocheng smiled, thinking to himself that when I met Lin Yixuan, I didn't know about the affairs of these four families, and the ghost would think so much.
"Here I also want to clarify with you that our family is completely different from Lin Yixuan, and we really want to make friends with talents like you." Lin Xiangrong was still clarifying with Zhou Ruocheng.
"Oh, that's it, okay, okay." Zhou Ruocheng also nodded.
"Brother Zhou, it's great that you can be so understanding." Lin Xiangrong was immediately moved as if he had received a large volume.
"But you're a big brother Lin." Zhou Ruocheng thought about it and asked.
"Eh, Brother Zhou, you say." Lin Xiangrong looked at Zhou Ruocheng.
"What is the relationship between this your brother, that is, Lin Yixuan, and your family?" Zhou Ruocheng has always been a little curious.
Hearing this, Lin Xiangrong also paused, and leaned over to Zhou Ruocheng, "That Brother Zhou, what about this matter, it's a little troublesome to explain... β
"It's okay, it's okay, there should be some time to eat, right? You're halfway through that, so it's not a problem for me to hang here, right? Zhou Ruocheng begged.
"If you really want to say it, it's actually quite embarrassing, that week, brother, I'll make an exception to say this to you, don't tell others." Lin Xiangrong looked around, and then said.
"Okay, I'm definitely not going to tell anyone!" Zhou Ruocheng said with a serious face.
"That. . . Actually, that's what happened ... Lin Xiangrong told the story of this dish.
