The servants of the old mansion all wore uniform blue-gray shirts, sleeves on their forearms, and soft-soled boots on their feet, and walked quietly.

The people of Shaonan City, when they saw the boots of the Cheng family's servants, secretly looked at them with envy, but they didn't know that the servants had to walk quietly on weekdays, but when they walked to the masters, they had to deliberately stomp out the sound of footsteps. At the end of the day, as long as you compare the Cheng dù with people's swollen feet, you will know that the relatives are far away.

When Cheng Jinzhou was at home before, he was just a sick grandson, and his subordinates may not have a little awe in front of him. Now I only listen to the snapping sound of the servants around me, and when I know the opinions of everyone, it is completely different.

It was not yet late, and the red lanterns on the side of the road were already hanging high, and the candle flames were dangling in the air, revealing the shadows of the trees.

Shi Yan walked in front, and his footsteps tried to follow Cheng Jinzhou's habits, which is also said - if there are any stubborn rocks and shallow pits on the road, the people in front will also encounter them first, although in terms of probability, such things are rare, but the nobles pay attention to pomp, not cost-effectiveness, as long as there is occasionally a stone kicked away in advance, they will also feel that it should be so. What's more, the people who are under the fight will always try to show their value.

"There's no pomp or circumstance on this town guard." Cheng Jinzhou nodded slightly, and the appearance of striding with his back hand did not have the image of a teenager at all.

It wasn't until the position of the second gate that I saw two people in khaki military uniforms, also standing behind the servants of the Cheng family, not so much guards and surveillance, but rather a queue of punishments.

The big butler who greeted him in front of the door greeted him with a smile and said, "Congratulations to the third brother on his good health, several young masters and wives are waiting in the long hall to talk to Lord Liu." He was going to be a transit envoy in Hexi, but it was a good errand. ”

"My mother is in there too?" Cheng Jinzhou also smiled, the big housekeeper of the aristocratic family often has privileges far superior to those of the senior servants. is different from the second housekeeper's secretiveness, but he directly informed Cheng Jinzhou of the identity of the guests.

The chief butler bowed slightly and replied, "Yes, Lord Liu's wife is also inside, and she is happy." ”

Cheng Jinzhou smiled and walked in with his head down, while Shi Mo and Shi Yan were left outside.

The long hall should be called the long hall, which is one of the best living rooms of the Cheng family. It looks more like a dance floor propped up with a dozen columns, or an empty stadium or something, but in reality, it's made up of four houses cleverly stitched together.

The load-bearing walls were either replaced by columns or cleverly hidden behind antiques, frescoes, and screens, and the four rooms looked as one in one place, indistinguishable from one in use - the main difference was that it was cheaper to build and, most importantly, did not violate any of the rules of the Bactrian dynasty.

Of course, the lack of grandeur and roundness, and the huge cost of the dome, make many people feel regretful, and from the perspective of the aristocracy, this regret may be infinitely magnified.

For Dr. Cheng Da, he was the first to enter the long hall, and he inevitably looked east and west, until someone called: "Third brother, come and introduce you to the two uncles." ”

It was a middle-aged man who was born in the plane, either Cheng Jinzhou's cousin uncle or his cousin uncle, but he was not impressed.

Cheng Jinzhou smiled stiffly and followed him inside, feeling like he was strolling through a wooden basketball hall or a museum.

In the center of the hall is a spring of water, a real spring, that communicates with the small river that flows in the house, from the ground to the outside of the moat, and then into the Mijiang River. The spring water bubbled out to a height of more than ten centimeters, and then flooded a shallow pool of about 5o square meters, and the water in the pool was only a finger deep, crystal clear, and more than a dozen small fish of different colors swam.

The fish are very small, like small goldfish sold outside the vegetable market. But this is the Shaonan Cheng family, and you don't have to think about it to know that they must be rare varieties with names and surnames and provenances.

Most of them sat around the group of soft chairs centered on the spring, looking light and relaxed, and there was no sense of welcoming important people at all, although this Lord Liu sat in the main seat at first glance.

Cheng Jinzhou greeted him refreshingly, said two auspicious words, and when the other party nodded, he was ready to turn around and sit next to his parents, this was obviously not a formal meeting, and the seating was also based on the family.

"You like murals?" Liu Bin has a very typical Chinese face, with a raised nose and thick, wide lips.

"A little." Cheng Jinzhou subconsciously shrugged.

Liu Bin said in a very old tone: "When I saw you come in, you looked at the murals very seriously, do you like rock carvings or heavy color paintings?" ”

Cheng Jinzhou was not prepared at all, where did he know what rock carving was, what heavy color painting was, and he didn't know why the other party was interested in it, so he said generally: "It's all good." ”

"Well, I forgot that you are still a young man, and you should indeed be exposed to more things, and you don't have to limit your horizons in advance." Liu Bin stood up as he spoke, and said with a pleasant face: "I heard about you from Liu Kuang, Star Warlocks are all smart guys, I really want to see what is special about you, he is full of praise for you." ”

Liu Bin stood up, Cheng Jinzhou noticed that his shoulders were very broad, even if he was wearing regular clothes, he could see the thick chest muscles, thinking that he was a scholar from the imperial examination, it can be imagined that he had indeed put in a lot of effort in the position of the town guard.

But the most surprising thing was his words, Cheng Jinzhou said a little uncomfortably: "Oh, I think I have some talent, I don't say modestly." ”

"No need to be humble, no need to be modest." Liu Bin smiled heartily: "At the age of 12, the fourth-level star warlock who can be cited is particularly mentioned, which is very remarkable." Moreover, to deal with the law, many of the aristocratic children I met like to rely on their parents, and you are different. ”

"Me?" Cheng Jinzhou pointed to his nose and said.

"Subordinates like to look at their bosses when answering questions, and children like to look at their parents when answering questions." Liu Bin laughed proudly, sat back on the soft chair and said, "It's a pity that I have to ask Liu Kuangxing Warlock to go to Hexi, otherwise it will ......"

Liu Bin said, smiling apologetically at Cheng Yunan.

Father Cheng said as usual: "Apprenticeship from a star warlock is originally a very lucky thing. ”

"I have some friends at church who might recommend you try. They don't just teach theology. Liu Bin laughed, took out a business card-like thing from his arms, and handed it to Cheng Jinzhou.

Cheng's mother was very happy to let Cheng Jinzhou thank you, the church's power in the Great Xia Dynasty is not obvious, but its ability in some aspects is still quite reputable.

The name card reads Father Condea, with Liu Bin's name on the corner and the Sith Templar College written on the back. Cheng Jinzhou scratched his head with some distress, did he want to exchange for another church school?
