Qin Dynasty's complaints, these people didn't seem to hear it. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info all rushed to the Qin Dynasty and handed the invitation to the Qin Dynasty.

For the invitation they handed over, the Qin Dynasty did not refuse, and accepted them all.

After receiving all the invitations, Qin Chao looked at these people and said, "I have already received all the invitations, now I want to go back and think about it, and see whose house I will go to first." ”

"I won't leave you behind, you can go back and tell you."

After saying this, the Qin Dynasty did not give these people a chance to speak, and directly turned around and returned to the Qin Mansion, and then closed the door of the Qin Mansion again.

Looking at the large pile of invitations in his hand, Qin Chao couldn't help but sigh.

With so many invitations, I can't finish the appointment today. It seems that he can only choose some invitations that he can't refuse, and forget about the rest.

After deciding, the Qin Dynasty began to open these invitations. It took more than ten minutes for Qin Chao to read it roughly, and he also had a general understanding of the content of these invitations.

Those inconsequential invitations, Qin Chao didn't even think about it, so he threw them aside and ignored them.

The rest were some invitations that the Qin Dynasty liked, and some were invitations that the Qin Dynasty did not dare to refuse easily.

Because these invitations are all invited by dignitaries. In addition to the local parent official of Jinling City, the Qin Dynasty was surprised. What surprised the Qin Dynasty even more was that among these invitations, there was an old man who had just resigned from the imperial court and returned to his hometown to retire.

As for the specific official position he held in the imperial court, it was not written in the invitation letter. However, people who have been officials in the court for many years and can safely resign and return to their hometowns to retire in their later years are basically not to be underestimated.

The Qin Dynasty didn't want to easily provoke such a big man to be angry, and after some thought, the Qin Dynasty decided to go to the invitation of this old man who had resigned and returned to his hometown to retire.

……

In the south of Jinling City, a residence that is not a big family compared to Jinling.

Qin Chao raised his head and looked at the door plaque.

The plaque on the door reads Zheng Mansion.

Qin Chao took a deep breath, adjusted his mood, and walked towards the Zheng Mansion. As soon as they walked outside the gate of the Zheng Mansion, the two Zheng Mansion family members who were guarding outside the gate of the Zheng Mansion stepped forward to stop the Qin Dynasty.

Without waiting for them to speak, Qin Chao smiled and said: "Two brothers, I am Qin Chao of the Qin Mansion in the east of the city, and I was invited by your master to come to the appointment. ”

As he spoke, Qin Chao took out the invitation letter from his arms, and then handed it to a family member in front of him.

Seeing this, this family member did not refuse, and took it from the hands of the Qin Dynasty. Glaring to his companion, his companion withdrew his hand and walked towards its place.

He opened the invitation, looked at it briefly, and returned the invitation to the Qin Dynasty.

"Young Master Qin, wait a minute. Let me go into the house and say goodbye. He said respectfully.

Qin Chao smiled and nodded: "Okay." ”

When he heard this, he gestured to his companion's gaze, then turned and ran quickly into the house.

About a few minutes later, a middle-aged man, accompanied by him, walked out of the house.

The middle-aged man was dressed plainly, and he was not dressed in luxurious clothes made of brocade like Fu Bo, the housekeeper of Meng Sanqian's mansion.

The middle-aged man had a gentle smile on his face, and after walking out of the mansion, he walked quickly to the front of the Qin Dynasty.

The middle-aged man laughed softly, looked at Qin Chao and said, "Young Master Qin, I didn't expect you, a talented person, to come to the appointment so early. ”

"I thought that when you came to the appointment, Gongzi Qin, it would have to be Shen Shi at the earliest."

It was three o'clock in the afternoon, and Qin Chao just smiled faintly at this and did not explain.

Sometimes, it's better not to explain than to explain. As now, it is better to explain than not to explain.

After all, I have already explained everything with my actions. Therefore, there is no need to say more about some things.

Seeing that Qin Dynasty did not explain, the middle-aged man did not mention this matter anymore.

"Gongzi Qin, my name is Zheng Zhi. I'll take you to my lord. After Zheng Zhi briefly introduced his name, he walked into the mansion with the Qin Dynasty.

Not long after, Qin Chao followed him into the inner courtyard of the Zheng Mansion.

The inner courtyard of the Zheng Mansion, except for some flowers and plants, is a very small vegetable field. Vegetables are grown in the vegetable patch.

An old man, also dressed plainly, was busy in the vegetable patch.

After Zheng Wei smiled at Qin Chao, he walked to the old man's side and said, "Master, Gongzi Qin has arrived." ”

"Pour tea for Gongzi Qin, tell him to wait a while, and I'll be done immediately." The old man didn't raise his head, still busy with the matter at hand.

Zheng Zhi was not surprised by this, and after answering, he came to the side of the Qin Dynasty.

"I heard the old man's words." Qin Chao said with a smile.

Zheng Zhi nodded, and after understanding the intention of the Qin Dynasty in saying this, he didn't say it again. With Qin Chao, he walked towards the stone table on the side.

When he came to the stone table, Zheng Zhi stretched out his hand and motioned for Qin Chao to sit down and wait. In this regard, the Qin Dynasty did not give in, and naturally sat down.

Zheng Zhi did not sit down, and turned to leave. After a while, he personally carried the tea and came to the side of the Qin Dynasty.

After Zheng Zhi poured a cup of tea for the Qin Dynasty, he stood aside and said no more.

Looking at the tea in the cup, Qin Chao was not polite, and took a slight sip.

As soon as he drank it, Qin Chao couldn't bear it anymore and spit it out directly into the open space on the side.

Bitter, bitter.

What kind of tea is this, it is so bitter.

If you don't know that this is tea, the Qin Dynasty will definitely think that it is medicine. Moreover, it is still a very bitter kind of medicine.

Spit out the tea, and Qin Chao still felt bitter in his mouth. Some couldn't bear it, so he looked at Zheng Value beside him and said: "Can you give me some water, it's best to bring some sugar." ”

"Okay, wait a minute." Zheng Qiu did not hesitate and agreed directly. Then he turned and left, and when he came back again, in addition to getting a pot of water, there was also a packet of things wrapped in yellow paper.

Presumably, the thing contained in the yellow paper should be sugar.

Qin Chao thought for a while, watched Zheng Qiu come to his side, and put the clear water and the thing wrapped in yellow paper on the stone table in front of him.

After Qin Chao said to Zheng Qiu, he didn't immediately open the yellow paper to see if it was sugar, but first picked up the pot of water in front of him and drank it in a big gulp.

I drank about the same, I didn't feel so bitter, and I felt better. Only then did Qin Chao put down the kettle and reached out to unwrap the yellow paper.

Unwrapping the yellow paper, the Qin Dynasty did not see the sugar, nor did he see the dessert. The things wrapped in the yellow paper turned out to be two steamed buns.

Qin Chao was stunned for a moment, slightly puzzled. Still, he couldn't resist asking.

I picked up a steamed bun and ate it. Not to mention, this steamed bun tastes pretty good.

Soon the Qin Dynasty finished eating a steamed bun, and when he was about to eat another one, the old man who had just cleaned up in the vegetable field came to Qin Chao.

"Qin Gongzi, I've kept you waiting."
