Chapter 23: The Strange Old Man
Hearing someone call her name, Ling Su stopped and looked sideways at the source of the voice, this voice was not too unfamiliar to her, it was the county lord of Jinshan.
It's just, why is she still here, hasn't she left?
"The county lord is very patient!"
Ling Su sarcastically scolded the county lord of Jinshan, making the county lord of Jinshan look embarrassed.
"Ling Su, I want to talk to you!"
Seeing the county lord of Jinshan staring at him with expectant eyes, Ling Su thought about it, nodded, and finally responded: "Okay!" โ
Ling Su got into the carriage of the county lord of Jinshan again, and after sitting down, Ling Su directly closed his eyes, and didn't care where the carriage was going.
The county lord of Jinshan wanted to say something to Ling Su, but seeing Ling Su's attitude, he swallowed back the words that came to his mouth.
It wasn't until the carriage stopped that Ling Su opened his eyes, looked at the county lord of Jinshan who was looking at him with a smile, thought for a while, and asked, "You don't want to sell me, do you?" โ
"Poof! Hahaha! โ
Ling Su's joke made the previous embarrassment of the county lord of Jinshan disappear without a trace, and he laughed directly "poof".
"Don't worry, if I want to sell you, you will use the most direct method, it won't be so gentle!"
After that, the county lord of Jinshan got out of the carriage directly, and Ling Su shrugged his shoulders and followed the carriage with a raised brow.
But when he saw the three big characters of Sheng Wangfu, Ling Su's eyes were stunned.
"Hurry up, aren't you really afraid that I'll sell you?"
The Lord of Jinshan County, who had already stepped into the gate of King Sheng's Mansion, saw Ling Su stunned and looked at the plaque above his head, and teased Ling Su with a smile.
"I'm really afraid you'll sell me!"
Although he said so, Ling Su still took a step towards the county lord of Jinshan.
Entering the Sheng Wang Mansion, Ling Su looked around curiously, this Sheng Wang Mansion was not ordinarily big, and all the construction of the inner house was atmospheric and exquisite.
Everything here is different from the existing design style in this Jinling Imperial City, which is full of two- to three-story pavilions, but there are no pavilions at all, and they are all one-story high-roofed houses.
Ling Su's first reaction was that this place was suitable for the elderly.
"How? Is our Shengwang Mansion different from the outside, let me tell you, this is when the emperor gave the house, my grandfather personally designed it, I heard that my grandmother was still because of the design here and my grandfather for many years of awkwardness! โ
"Didn't your grandmother like that?"
"I don't know, I also heard my grandfather say it once, what is going on, I have to ask my grandfather!"
The county lord of Jinshan replied unconcernedly.
"The relationship between the county lord and the old prince Sheng must be very deep, up and down the Jinling Imperial City, I'm afraid that even some businessmen's families won't directly call "grandpa"! โ
Ling Su felt that calling her grandfather was much more kind than calling her grandfather, and thinking that her grandfather had always been very serious about herself in her previous life, Ling Su felt a thorn in her heart.
"Since I was a child, my grandfather wouldn't let me call my grandfather, he said it was unkind!"
"The county lord is very happy!"
"Well, I also think I'm very happy, my father loves my mother, and I have a grandfather who loves me so much!"
While the two were talking, Ling Su followed the county lord of Jinshan to a particularly quaint courtyard, and the two big characters of "Su Yuan" on the arch were majestic and seemed to have a little softness.
"The word ยทยทยทยทยทยท"
"This word was engraved by my grandfather himself, Su Garden is my grandfather's secret garden, the backyard green bamboo surrounds the whole tulip flowers, that is a very rare variety, especially beautiful!"
Of course, tulips are not an unusual flower for modern Ling Su, so Ling Su only showed his original expression, and he didn't feel too much surprise.
And in the eyes of the county lord of Jinshan, this has become appreciation, appreciating Ling Su's calmness, and not being surprised when encountering problems!
"I see!" She said that she smelled a faint fragrance from a long distance, which turned out to be the fragrance of green bamboo accompanied by the floral fragrance of tulips.
"Let's go! Grandpa is still waiting for you inside! โ
"Wait for me?" Ling Su was stunned.
"Yes! When I came back yesterday, I told my grandfather everything that happened in the palace, and after hearing about it, he said let me invite you here, and thank you very much! โ
Ling Su instinctively felt that things were not so simple, this kind of thing could be thanked by the county lord of Jinshan himself, and besides, as the old prince of Sheng, sending someone over to reward her with something would be regarded as thanks.
Why did he invite her personally?
In view of the fact that the county lord of Jinshan wanted to take advantage of her in the morning, Ling Su's eyes were suspicious.
"This is true, don't doubt me anymore, and in the morning, I don't really want to use you for anything, I'm just angry, the second prince was going to design me yesterday, and it's understandable to go and find out the news today, who would have thought you were so stingy!"
When the county lord of Jinshan returned to King Sheng's mansion, it was not as cold as outside, and the whole little girl with a small jasper family had a more vivid expression.
Ling Su thought about it for a while, and felt that since he was here, it was a bit hypocritical for him to worry so much.
"Before, the county lord said, you want to talk to me!"
For the county lord of Jinshan, Ling Su was actually very relaxed, at least instinctively she didn't want to guard against it, it was an intuition, she just felt that the county lord of Jinshan would not harm her, and the two of them were still very compatible.
"Uh~~he~~Ha! Come in, my grandfather is a strange old man, and when he is in a hurry, he will come out with a big stick to find someone! โ
Hearing Ling Su questioning himself with a smile, the county lord of Jinshan smiled awkwardly, hesitated, and finally replied with a sentence that was incompatible, and then stepped into the courtyard first, regardless of how Ling Su made fun of himself in the back.
Seeing that Jin Shan walked far away with a smoke smeared with oil on the soles of his feet, Ling Su shook his head and smiled, and followed into the courtyard.
No matter what Old Prince Sheng's purpose is for him, but seeing the appearance of the county lord of Jinshan, there should be nothing wrong.
Ling Su followed the county lord of Jinshan all the way to the backyard of Su Garden, the fragrance was also stronger, and when he approached, it was indeed as the county lord of Jinshan said, the green bamboo surrounded the whole tulip, which was very beautiful!
"Grandpa!"
The crisp voice was different from the county lord of Jinshan, Ling Su was in a trance for a moment, such a beautiful scene was what she had dreamed of countless times.
"Ling Su, how is it? I didn't lie to you! โ
Just as Ling Su was stunned and looking at the beautiful scenery in front of her, the two figures in front of her, an old man and a young man, blocked her vision, and then the voice of the county lord of Jinshan also pulled back Ling Su's thoughts.
"Well, it's beautiful!"
"Uh~~ Greetings to Old Prince Sheng!"
After Ling Su returned to the county lord of Jinshan, he saw the old man standing next to the county lord of Jinshan, with kind eyebrows and kind eyes, Ling Su paused for a moment and hurriedly bowed his body to greet the old prince Sheng.
