Zhu Xiangxiang was stunned for a moment, and then smiled: "When the concubine saw the two sons, she was so happy that she forgot about business! Two, come with me! The head of the family is already waiting!"

She hurriedly beckoned Bai Yu and the others into a small room at the end of the corridor.

"Two, the head of the family is on the top floor, go here faster!"

A hint of surprise flashed in her eyes when she caught a glimpse of a string of muddy footprints behind Shen Beihuan, but she didn't say anything, just put her hands behind her back and made a gesture, waiting for the maids on both sides to understand, and retreated after giving a salute.

After Zhu Xiangxiang invited the two of them into the room, she also squeezed in. When she pressed a wrench in the corner of the room, the whole room shook slightly, and she slowly rose away!

"This ...... Steward Zhu, how can this room rise by itself?"

"I wonder if Bai Gongzi has heard of the floating jade and the wind reed?"

Bai Yu thought about it for a while, and found the answer in his memory.

"Floating jade is a sacred stone floating above the nine heavens, and its appearance is no different from that of ordinary stones, but it can be suspended in the air and move with the wind. Only on the day of thunder and lightning will it lose its buoyancy and fall from the sky, and when the rain has passed, the sky will fly away slowly. Therefore, it is extremely difficult to mine floating jade, and the amount of survival is very small, which is almost unattainable. ”

"The wind reed is a unique plant in the mountains of southern Xinjiang. The stem of this reed is extremely light and can be suspended in the wind, and there is even a technique in southern Xinjiang to weave the reed stem into a boat and cross the cliff. ”

"What does Steward Zhu mean, this room can fly because of these two things?"

However, Bai Gongzi said that he missed a point, the reason why this reed can be suspended in front of the wind is only because of a reed bead hidden in its stem. ”

"This small room is carved and built with floating jade and reed beads. When I press the wrench, the latch between the room and the passage well opens, and it rises. In this room, 8,200 pieces of floating jade and 1,270,000 reed beads were shared. ”

Bai Yu was once again impressed by the Lu family's extravagance.

"It's just...... What if you want to go down?"

"The floating jade falls when it encounters lightning, so just stuff this special electricity-holding thing, which we call 'electric box', into here!"

"Is this the whimsy of the head of the house?"

"Exactly!"

"Squeak—" The room shook slightly, and stopped.

"Two, it's here!" Zhu Xiangxiang got up and opened the door. What caught my eye was a few large fish that seemed to float in the air. The fish was a foot long, golden all over, and was swimming gracefully in the water and spitting bubbles. As for the image floating in the air, it is just an illusion caused by the fact that the water is too clear and the quality of the glass tank where the fish are raised is excellent.

"What a handsome Arowana!" Bai Yu's eyes lit up

"This arowana is also a different species in southern Xinjiang, called 'gold-swallowing dragon'. This fish has extremely strict requirements for water quality, and the water they change every day has to be transported from the Wuzhu Academy. After it is transported, it cannot be used directly, and it must be washed with thirteen waters, and it can be poured into the tank for seven days. They also eat fresh fish and shrimp that are transported daily from the coast of the East China Sea by supernatural beings. ”

"Don't look at these fish as inconspicuous, there are at least hundreds of people behind them!"

Hearing this, Shen Beihuan's already frowning brows squeezed deeper and deeper.

Bypassing the fish tank, there is a long passage. The floor of the passage is covered with soft dark red fur, and every ten steps, a small candle is lit with a glass cup, and every twenty glass cups, a bottle of carved gold incense is erected. From time to time, well-dressed maids walked briskly through the passage, often holding sandalwood plates in their hands, on which were either strange melons and exotic fruits, elixir and jade liquid, or silk silk and satin, brocade clothes.

Zhu Xiangxiang explained to the two of them as she walked.

"This Nanmu is not naturally formed, but it needs to be transported to the East China Sea from the West Desert, buried in the blue sea sand for about ten years, and then soaked in the snow water of the Tianshan Mountains for nine days before it can be fished out and carved!"

"This carpet looks like fur, but it is actually a kind of dark algae that is a specialty of the Pearl Lake outside Xizhou City. This carpet has covered the output of the entire lake for more than ten years!"

"These incense candles are made from the fins and scales of the waxhead fish of the South China Sea. An incense candle uses hundreds of fins. The waxhead fish is timid and sensitive by nature, and a fisherman is busy for a day, and at most he can only catch dozens of fish. ”

While Bai Yu was shocked by the luxury of the Lu family, he couldn't help but have some doubts.

Why would a housekeeper, the richest man in the world, be so obsessed with introducing these marginal things? This also makes the little family a little angry! If it is said to be showing off, it is really unnecessary, and if it is to explain the scenery, it is not necessary for a leading butler to do it. Before they came, Zhu Xiangxiang had obviously made efforts to understand.

"I'm going to Wangjiangtai soon, the two of you are coming from afar, please go there and rest for a while!" Zhu Xiangxiang greeted the two of them close to a side room, "I'll go and invite the head of the family!"

This riverside platform is aptly named, with a wide terrace facing the Guangling River. The cargo ships are as fine as tea in a cup, and the people are invisible.

The high place is cold, and it is hundreds of zhang away from the river. In order to prevent visitors from getting cold, the Lu family placed four large tripods at the four corners of the terrace, and the tripods were burning with raging flames. The four walls of the Wangjiangtai room are covered with white velvet.

There were maids who came in one after another, making tea for the two, buying melons and fruits, and some who wanted to massage them, but they retreated.

"Huh-" Bai Yu took a sip of fragrant tea, "Brother Shen, I'm borrowing your light this time!

When Shen Beihuan heard this, the teacup that had been raised to his lips was put down again. He sighed heavily.

"Brother Bai, what do you think of what you have seen along the way?"

"Poor and extravagant!"

"Yes! I fidgeted at the thought that all these extravagant things around me were bought by the blood and sweat of the common people!"

Bai Yu chuckled: "Brother Shen, I think that although this Lu family acts extravagantly, it is not for the rich. The school palaces in various places have more or less received donations from the Lu family. I believe that the Lu family will not let those people suffer!"

Shen Beihuan's brows tightened even more: "Brother Bai, to put it mildly, you are a scholar, you have never done those rough jobs, and you don't know the grievances! The soil of the rock sand mountain is soft, and the porter will ...... if he stumbles."

"Alas!" Shen Beihuan sighed heavily and drank the cold tea.

Bai Yu was also slightly stunned, he remembered the dog baby who chose half a cut of beans and was beaten by his mother.

"Squeak-" The door gently pushed open.

"Two sons, long wait!" a deep voice remembered from outside the door.

The two of them stood up and looked at the comer, and bowed their hands in unison.

"Head of the house!"

"Don't be polite!" the person waved his hand, "Xiangxiang, you didn't entertain well, and you will have to punish yourself with three cups later!"

"Yes!" Zhu Xiangxiang lowered her eyebrows.

This head of the Lu family looks completely different from Bai Yu's imagination. He thought that he was the richest man in the world, not to mention his extraordinary dignity, he should also wear gold and silver, and dress elegantly.

But the person who came had clear bones, high cheeks and eyebrows, a clean white robe, and the ornaments on his body were just a green jade wrench. Compared to a businessman, he is more like a master who teaches in the school palace!

"Sit!" Zhu Luoluo motioned for the two to sit down, and he also sat down on the Taishi chair.

"Family master, I don't know that ......" Shen Beihuan hesitated to speak, he didn't want to stay in this kind of luxurious place for a long time.

"Don't worry!" Zhu Luoluo raised his hand to interrupt Shen Beihuan's words, "How do you feel about what Shen Gongzi has seen along the way?"

He actually asked what Shen Beihuan had just asked Bai Yu.

Shen Beihuan arched his hand: "I don't dare to agree!"

"Hahahaha-" Zhu Luoluo laughed heartily, seemingly indifferent to his offense, "Shen Gongzi thinks my Lu family is too extravagant?" His eyes burned and he stared straight at Shen Beihuan.

"This ......"

"The head of the family has a good way to govern the family, and every centimeter is taken in a good way. How to spend it is also the Lu family's own business, how can others ignore it!" Bai Yu spoke first, "Besides, the head of the family cares about the common people, fights for righteousness and squanders money, and all the Shenzhou School Palace is not favored by the head of the family! What the head of the family has done is already benevolent and righteous!"

The sacrificial wine of the Five University Palaces can be true to the richest man in Shenzhou, but Bai Yu and the others are still juniors after all, and some words are not their turn yet.

"Hahaha-" Zhu Luoluo laughed even louder, "Bai Gongzi has won the award! Zhu's wealth is taken from the people, and it is natural to use it for the people! Otherwise, after a hundred years, Zhu will not be able to take it away!"

After laughing, Zhu Luoluo turned his fingers and lowered his head to take a sip of fragrant tea.

"I don't know if the two sons, especially Shen Gongzi, can learn the way to apply the world?"
