The dim candlelight in the lantern shone on their faces, and they all looked solemn, as if they had come to ask for their lives in the dark night.

"What are you doing here?" After all, he is also a fifty-year-old person, after being startled, he quickly returned to his original look, but his eyes were a little more vigilant, looking at the person in front of him, standing behind the door, but his footsteps never moved away, but secretly towards the corner of the door where a few people could not see, and gestured to the boy, asking him to hurry up and tell the master inside about it.

Several masters are all on this Zhuangzi, and he can't just let these unknown people in.

"I have seen the old man, surnamed Ke, my master came from afar, I wanted to rush into the city, but I never expected to encounter this heavy rain, I didn't find a place to rest after walking so far, now I see that it is late, the road is a little inconvenient, I hope the old man can make it convenient, so that we have a place to hide from the rain."

The rain outside continued to flow down the shrunken clothes on his body to the soles of his feet, and there was soon a puddle of water stains on the ground, as if he saw the embarrassed look on the old man's face, he took out a certain amount of silver from his arms, handed it to the people and said: "We don't live in vain, this is the money for temporary residence." ”

It looks like the condition is not bad, it must have just been taken out of the official not long ago, the old man weighed it, and there were five taels of silver, which was almost half a year of chewing for ordinary people.

The relatives in front of him were quite polite, but the old man was a little hesitant, and did not accept the silver directly, but pushed it back, seeing that they all had solemn faces, and they were not easy to get along with, so he couldn't make up his mind and said: "A few people are here first, wait a while, the old slave goes to let people talk to the master's family, and if the master's family agrees, a few can be let in, otherwise there is only one subordinate under it, and it is not good to be the master." ”

He is just a gatekeeper, and he usually does something in Zhuangzi, and the Lu family is very good to their subordinates, and they naturally know how to repay their kindness, of course, they also know these rules.

Ke Li still stood in the rain with accessories on his waist, looking at the tightly closed door in front of him, he couldn't help but be a little anxious, the old man went to have some wine, he slowly lost his patience, a few of them were naturally fine when they were drenched in the rain for a while, but the master was weak, and it was the time when he needed to recuperate, so he couldn't continue to rush like them.

Currie resisted the urge to break down the door, but walked around restlessly.

In the dead of night, Lu Yan, who has always had good ears and eyes, naturally heard the sound of knocking on the door outside, and hurriedly put on a coat, but after a while, someone came over to tell him about it, repeating what happened outside word for word.

"Do you want to let those people in?" The boy asked.

Lu Yan was thinking about it, and when he didn't know whether to let people in, he heard his daughter-in-law say, "It's raining so hard outside, let them in!" ”

"Madam, are you awake, have you been woken up?" After hearing this, Lu Yan hurriedly walked over, saw Si Si walking out wearing only a single coat, frowned his brows, and hurriedly took a coat to put on for people, "Although it's summer now, it's raining so heavily outside, don't catch a cold." ”

"I see." Si Si smiled and said: "Let a few of them come in, it's raining so heavily outside, our Zhuangzi is really remote, there is no place, it is normal to borrow it temporarily, if they dare to do something, the people raised on our Zhuangzi are not vegetarians, so don't worry." ”

"Don't worry, with me, nothing will happen." Lu Yan also loosened his brows, and said to his subordinates, "Then let them in." ”

"You're really bold, if they really beat people, you are so relieved to let them in." After Lu Yan watched the man leave, he said to his wife.

"Afraid of what? Didn't you say it yourself? There's no way anything will happen with you. Si Si snuggled in Si Si's arms and said softly.

The news of outsiders came from Zhuangzi, and Si Si also asked people to spread it out and talk to the young master, so that they could stay in the room obediently and not run around, especially Lu Ruicheng.

Lu Ruicheng had already washed up and was about to go to bed directly, but when she heard the news sent by her mother, she couldn't help but pursed her mouth and said, "My mother is really, what do you mean by me?" ”

"Probably because you're the naughtiest, Miss, and the least to save Mrs. trouble." Tachibana said jokingly beside him.

"Who the hell is this little girl, you know how to help my mother make fun of me!" Lu Rui was puffing up.

After all, there are also outsiders above Zhuangzi, Si Si and Lu Yan, who are organized, should also go out to meet each other, so they changed into a slightly more decent clothes, and Si Si also asked the maid to help him comb a relatively simple hairstyle.

The old man at the door got the command of his master's house, and opened the door and won the people outside.

A total of eighteen men led the horses into the courtyard, neatly arranged in two rows, and they surrounded the carriage in it, and Curry could not take much care of it, so he took off the hat and the coat and threw it to the people on the side, and then got into the carriage, and a young man came out of the carriage and said, "Please lead the way." ”

There was also a delicate-faced Xiao Si who followed behind the two to help hold the umbrella, and followed closely beside him, it seemed that he should have been serving in the car.

The one who led the way was the dark one, and when he saw the people like this, he was also very knowledgeable, so he didn't ask anything, and asked the gatekeeper to take these people to tie the horses to the stable, and then led these people to the guest room.

"This gentleman, please follow me to the guest room, it is summer, there are several masters in the Zhuangzi, here to escape the summer, my old lady has gotten up, is waiting in the living room."

Generally, when you go to someone's place to stay overnight, you have to meet the master's family, and Ke Li also knows this, so he nodded and said: "It's rude, please wait a while, I'll settle my master and go over." ”

There is already a waiting mother-in-law to get, after the news of the outer courtyard several rooms have been opened and lit up to wait, although these rooms have not been inhabited for a long time, but they are still cleaned regularly by the next person, and it is also clean and tidy.
