The next morning, Shen Mo went out, and there was a round-faced fat man sitting in the carriage, and he asked him puzzledly: "Lord Shen, why do you want me to stick a beard?" ”

"To hide your identity." At this time, the weather was getting warmer, and he took off his thick winter coat and wore a moon-white robe silently, feeling extremely relaxed, and said with a smile: "Didn't you marry the son of the Lu family?" How can you do it without hiding it? ”

"Then this," it was Huang Jin who spoke, and he pointed to his beard and said, "It's too shoddy, anyone can see that it's sticky." ”

"It's okay, I can't see it." Shen Mo casually snorted, but he smiled in his heart and said, "I'm afraid that people won't be able to see it." ’

Huang Jin is now a feathered phoenix that is not as good as a chicken, he is very afraid of seeing people, and found that Shen Mo has the intention of exposing himself, so he said pitifully: "Lord Shen, Brother Shen, Grandpa Shen, I'm still not going...... If the creditors know my whereabouts, it won't be quiet. ”

Shen Mo smiled: "I want them to know." ”

"Ah, are you going to push me into the fire pit?" Huang Jin said with a bitter face.

"Of course not," Shen Mo patted him on the soft shoulder, and said softly: "Problems always have to be solved, you can't go without showing up for the rest of your life, right?" ”

Huang Jin's chubby face trembled for a moment, and finally nodded: "Okay, I know." As he spoke, he held Shen Mo's hand tightly and said, "Lord Shen, you must pull your brother." ”

Silently, he withdrew his hand and said with a smile: "It's just that I have wronged my father-in-law, and I want to pretend to be my attaché." ”

"Originally, she was a slave," Huang Jin smiled indifferently: "It's hypocritical to talk about any grievances." ”

The carriage passed through the school, and further south, and arrived at the famous Canglang Pavilion, although it is called the pavilion, it is actually a garden. Before entering the garden gate, you can see a pool of green water around it, the waterfront mountain is rugged, the corridor is winding like a belt, the blue water that lingers outside the garden is incorporated into the garden, it is a good structure of the scenery before entering the park.

Menzi saw the post, hurriedly flew in, and after a while, the door opened, and an old man with a childish face led the men of the mansion to come out to greet him, and when he saw the silence, he smiled and said: "The lower official has seen the lord of the mansion." ”

Shen Mo hurriedly returned the salute: "Xia Guan has seen the boss. "This old man Lu Ding, once served as the political envoy of Shaanxi Zuobu, returned to his hometown at the age of 60, and gave him a crown and a gift...... That is, he still retains his official title, official uniform, and official salary, but he no longer holds office.

But after all, he is not in place, and Mr. Lu does not dare to hold it up, so he politely welcomes Shen Mo, a great upstart, into the garden. The ancient trees on the mountain are towering to the sky, and there is a pond under the mountain, and the mountains and rivers are connected by a zigzag corridor.

Along the winding corridor facing the clear pond outside, strolling in the garden of ancient trees and stacked lake stones, I sighed in my silent heart...... It's really more popular than people, his official residence covers an area of more than ten acres, and he feels very luxurious, who knows that compared with the Wu family, it is a small thing, at least ten times his own. The area alone is so different, not to mention its heritage and exquisiteness.

Lu Ding said very modestly: "This garden was left by the Song Dynasty, and when it was transferred to the Han family, it was already dilapidated. ”

'This old fox. Shen Mo scolded secretly, and said with a smile: "To be able to live like a fairy in it, it is worth spending more money." ”

Lu Ding said with a smile: "Your Excellency is insightful, and the lower officials admire it." As he spoke, he led Shen Mo into the main room, and after ordering his children to meet them one by one, he asked them to retreat, leaving only a white-clothed young man with a face like Fu Fan, starry eyes and red lips, and a graceful body.

When he looked in the mirror, Shen Mo also felt that he was a 'likeable' beautiful man, but compared with this young man in white, he suddenly felt that he was a vulgar half-finished product. But seeing that this kid is handsome, his appearance is three points more beautiful than that of a woman, his skin is a little whiter than the moon-white silk shirt on his body, and with the gold-painted fan in his hand, this is a veritable 'Pianpian Turbidity Shijia Gongzi'!

I'm afraid the legendary Song Yu and Wei Jue are just like that. Shen Mo secretly said in his heart, such a dazzling person, if he appeared at the beginning, he would definitely not see it now, thinking that this person had just appeared.

After a slight thought, he had already guessed the identity of the other party, so he smiled and said, "Is this the grandson of the boss?" ”

Seeing that the faint smile on the handsome boy's face froze, Lu Ding hurriedly explained: "The old man doesn't have this blessing, this is the grandson of the old man's cousin, and his name is Ziyu." As he spoke, he glanced at the boy and said, "Ziyu, come and see Lord Shen." ”

Lu Ji had no choice but to step forward and sing a fat song to Shen Mo: "I've seen adults." The voice was very pleasant, speaking a straight and round official dialect, and I couldn't hear the slightest Wu sound.

Shen Mo looked at him carefully, and couldn't find the appearance of the old man who looked like the dead bark of yesterday, and couldn't help but sigh at the mastery of the other party's disguise technique, which was indeed amazing.

His somewhat rude gaze made the Lu Gongzi quite displeased, and he snorted lightly.

Shen Mo came back to his senses and said with a smile: "Lu Ji, right?" ”

"Lu Ji, the performance of achievements." Lu Gongzi said depressedly, and said in his heart that Pingsheng can be heard as a voice, but my pronunciation is so inaccurate?

"I know someone named Lu Yi in Yanjing, what is your relationship?" Shen Mo is simply happy to tease this kid, holding grudges is one thing, and the other is because the other party is more handsome than him.

"It's my cousin." Lu Gongzi quickly adjusted his emotions and didn't let the other party's bad taste succeed.

Over there, Lu Ding also knew about the discord between the two, and he was afraid that it would be difficult for them to fall apart again, so he hurriedly said, "Ziyu, you can sit down too." ”

At this time, the maid served tea, the tea was a top-level red robe, which made people feel refreshed and happy, and the whole body was comfortable, and she smiled silently: "I haven't drunk such a good tea for a long time." ”

"Old man, there are still a few taels," Lu Ding said with a smile: "If you like it, you can take it later." "The authentic Da Hong Pao, just a few trees on the Jiulong Rock Wall of Wuyi Mountain, full of calculations, the best year, the tea output is only more than a catty. Since antiquities are rare and expensive, such a small thing is naturally worth a hundred times, this Lu Ding is a few taels as soon as he gives it, which can be described as a big deal.

"A gentleman doesn't win people's love," Shen Mo shook his head and smiled: "It's better for the boss to keep it and enjoy it." ”

Saying two sentences of nonsense that were not nutritious, seeing that Shen Mo was slow to get to the point, Lu Ding had no choice but to take the initiative to say: "This time I invited the adult's mansion, in addition to expressing my welcome to the adult, there is also a purpose, that is, to ......" said and glanced at Lu Ji and said: "The little nephew is stubborn, and he once collided with the adult, so he deliberately asked him to make amends to the adult, let's open this page, how about it?" ”

"Well said, well said." Shen Mo agreed, looked at Lu Ji with a smile and said, "Actually, it's not a big deal, the virtuous nephew gives a step, let's go down together." ”

"Virtuous nephew?" Seeing that Lu Ji's face had turned black to the bottom of the pot, Lu Ding said strangely: "Lord Shen and Ziyu seem to be of the same age." ”

"Speaking of which, it's not an outsider, Xia Guan is Lu Dudu's junior brother," Shen Mo said seriously: "So according to your seniority, you have to call you Uncle Shi, of course, Ziyu has to call me like this." ”

His statement could not be refuted, and Lu Ji's face turned blue and red for a while, and finally warned himself that 'if you can't bear it, you will make a big plan', and the mosquito snorted: "Uncle...... I can't pay you again. "It sounds like he's an 'uncle'.

Shen Mo smiled indifferently: "Hey, good nephew, don't be so naughty in the future,"

"Ah...... Be. "Lu Ziyu has never been so angry in his life, it is said that he is also the pride of the sky, the stars hold the moon in general, he has always been the only one who gives others anger, and no one else dares to give him anger.

"Haha, good ......" While Lu Ji could still hold back, Lu Ding hurriedly said: "After a long time, the water washed the Dragon King Temple, and the family didn't know the family." Saying that, he smiled silently and said, "Since Ziyu's attitude is quite sincere, can the adult return his things to him?" ”

"What's that?" Silently, he turned around and asked Huang Jindao, who was standing behind him, "Do you know?" But I saw Huang Jin's eyes spitting fire staring at the jade-like Lu Gongzi, as if he wanted to eat people.

Shen Mo shrugged his shoulders, turned around and asked Lu Ji, "Why does my follower seem to be so angry?" ”

Lu Ji just fought with Shen Mo at first, and he didn't see the person standing behind him, only then did he notice Huang Jin, and his jade face couldn't help but become gloomy, and said coldly: "Lord Shen, your follower is not small......

Shen Muruo glanced at Huang Jin contemptuously, and said lightly: "He, he originally received an errand in the Weaving Bureau, but later let the family go bankrupt and the creditor came to the door, so he had to run away to the official and eat a mouthful." ”

"What do you mean, sir?" Lu Ji asked.

"You know best." Shen Mo sneered.

The atmosphere in the room instantly changed from weird to solemn, and the two looked at each other coldly, if there was no accident, the winner would be determined after a quarter of an hour.

Fortunately, there was Lu Ding and the mud, he quickly got up and cut off the eyes of the two, and said silently: "My lord, it's ready over there, let's go over and eat." Saying that, he glanced at Lu Ji, and his eyes were already quite dissatisfied.

Lu Ji is so angry, he really doesn't want to think of the war, but what if the other party is provocative?

The luncheon is set up in the Canglang Pavilion high on the hills, the eaves are volleying, in order to harmonize with this quiet and elegant atmosphere, there are not many dishes on the table, not beautiful, but they are all from the hands of famous chefs, back to the basics, not inferior to this landscape scenery.

In addition to the three of them, since Huang Jin's identity had been revealed, he naturally would not stand anymore, so the four of them sat in pairs in the pavilion...... Although Lu Ji hated silence very much, he didn't want to sit opposite his father-in-law, so he had to continue to endure silence's hateful face.

On the wine table, the old and young of the Lu family no longer mentioned the ten boxes, silent and naturally interesting, and no longer mentioned a thousand carts of silk, as for Huang Jin, because he had to listen to the silence in the three chapters of the law before coming, he had to eat vegetables with his head bored, turning his grief and anger into appetite.

After three rounds of wine and five flavors of food, Lu Ding twisted his wine glass and said: "I heard that your lord's city division is going to open a port in Suzhou?" ”

"I didn't have a word." Shen Mo smiled honestly: "The time is not yet ripe, if you really want to open, you must consult the boss first." ”

Lu Ding couldn't help but be a little anxious when he saw him pushing three, two, five...... Speaking of the news of the opening of the port of Suzhou, in fact, last year it was spread one after another, and people with a little common sense know that once the port is successfully opened, it will push this already very prosperous city to an incomparable height. At that time, the merchants from the south to the north will be several times as many as they are now, and the housing prices and land prices in the city will also rise.

But Shen Mo went to Suzhou City for a while, but he kept moving, which made the hopeful and anxious families extremely tormented, so Lu Ding made up his mind today to inquire about something no matter what.

I only heard him ask, "Is there any difficulty for Lord Fuzun?" ”

Shen Mo knew that if he pretended to be stingy, it would really be looked down upon, so he took out a bitter and hateful look and said: "Don't hide it from the boss, in fact, why don't you want to open the port as soon as possible?" Said with a sigh and said: "But the Japanese are so rampant, repeatedly go deep into the mainland, they already covet Suzhou, if they rashly open the port at this time, I am afraid it will arouse their coveting even more, and when the time comes, they will fight with all their strength to break through the Songjiang defense line, and our Suzhou City will be in danger!" ”

This may not be all true, but it is always somewhat credible, because Shen Mo has been waiting for someone, someone who can protect him, and this person and his troops have not come, and he will not move.

"Your Excellency, you don't have to worry about ......" Lu Ding said with a smile: "I dare to pack the ticket, Suzhou City will not be attacked by the Japanese invaders." He lowered his voice and said: "This is a place to make money, and whoever can't get along with this place will cut off everyone's financial route......" When he said this, everyone's ears seemed to sound the symphony of ten thousand looms.

Silent but does not believe that there is a permanent neutral land, the reason why it has not been attacked for a while is because others do not want to kill chickens and take eggs, but there are those who can't eat eggs, so they can only stew chickens!

Seeing that his face was still uncertain, Lu Ding said again: "If you feel that it is too troublesome, the Han family is willing to contribute money and efforts to help the adults choose the site and open the port." ”

"Hehe," Shen Mo smiled and said, "When the time comes, it will be indispensable to trouble the boss." "But in his heart, he sneered: 'My forbidden belly doesn't want to get touched!'

Although he was playing Tai Chi, he couldn't be silent at all, so it would be too tasteless, so he remembered something: "In a few days, the lower official wants to survey the waterway of the Wusong River, and the boss is interested in going together." ”

"I'm happy to accompany you," Lu Ding was finally not so disappointed.

After eating a meal, the red said that the west slope, the forest was dyed, and he looked at the scenery outside the pavilion silently, and couldn't help but praise: "It's so beautiful!" ”

Lu Ding said with a smile: "It's rare for adults to like it, you can often come and sit, and the little old man is very happy." ”

"Definitely, definitely." Shen Mo stood up and went down the mountain with Lu Ding. When he arrived at the bottom of the mountain, he silently glanced at Lu Ji, who had been following him silently, and said, "The boss has been with Xia Guan for a day, and he is tired, so go back and rest first, and let Ziyu send me off." ”

Lu Ding naturally knew that Shen Mo had something to say to him, looked at Lu Ji, and saw that he also nodded, so he smiled and said: "Then the old man will not dare to send it, and the adults will go." ”

"Farewell." Shen Mo arched his hand at him, and under Lu Ding's eyes, accompanied by Lu Ziyu, he walked to the door.

Huang Jin followed far behind, seeing that the two of them were about the same height, and they were both dressed in white, and they looked very harmonious. But listening to the conversation between the two, it was full of gunpowder...... Shen Mo smiled first and asked, "Ziyu, how old are you this year?" ”

The elder-like tone made Lu Ziyu very annoyed, glared at him and said, "Are you still finished?" Who is your nephew? I'm telling you, I'm three years older than you! ”

"So you investigated me?" asked with a silent smile.

"Hmm......" Glancing at him vigilantly, Lu Ziyu suddenly sneered: "Don't think that you know Jinyiwei." ”

Shen Mo's heart moved, it seemed that the other party already knew about going to see Zhu Shisan, so he smiled and said, "By the way, look at your dress, like a scholar." ”

"So what?" Lu Ziyu was extremely depressed.

"How many years have you been reading?" Shen Mo asked.

"More than ten years." Lu Ziyu said.

"At least it's a lifter, right?" Shen Mo smiled and asked, "I think you're quite smart." ”

"Shengren ......" Lu Ziyu said angrily: "Don't open any pot and mention which pot is good?" ”

"Okay, let's just bring a pot to boil?" Shen Mo smiled casually: "What's in that box?" ”

"It's ......" Lu Ziyu smiled slyly: "I won't tell you." His smile actually made Shen Mo feel amazing, if it weren't for his Adam's apple, big feet, no ears and eyes, and too flat chest, Shen Mo would really think that he was a woman dressed as a man. The heart said, 'Grandma, your mother really gave you the wrong surname.' I couldn't help but sigh and said, "Ziyu, has anyone told you something?" ”

"What?" Lu Ziyu asked.

"You're laughing so girly." Shen Mo shook his head and said, "Manly man, smile heartily and show eight teeth." ”

"You don't care......" Lu Ziyu said depressedly, he had already walked to the door at this time, and he said angrily: "Okay, it's delivered, I'll go back." ”

Shen Mo suddenly withdrew his smile, and said with a solemn gaze: "No matter who your uncle is, give me a place in Suzhou City, otherwise don't blame me for being unkind!" ”

The sudden burst of murderous aura frightened Lu Ziyu to stay on the spot, and when he came back to his senses, there was no trace of silence.
