Chapter 198: If there is an abnormality, it is a demon (2)
However, looking at the scene in front of him, Shao Zifang, who was standing on the street, was dumbfounded, he never expected that this hairy boy who was shouting with himself would be treated so well, and hurriedly ran up the steps at the moment, and asked Zhang He: "You housekeeper is so unreasonable, I sincerely begged you to open the door before, but you just can't open it, but this thief boy came here to make a big noise, but you are still close to him?
Zhang He glared at Shao Zifeng in disgust, and asked coldly: "He is the nephew of the head of the family, are you?"
Shao Zifang was stunned again, and was speechless for a while.
Zhang He asked Mu Xun and a few people to go to the courtyard first, but Mu Xun did not move, but turned to look at Shao Zifang, raised his eyebrows, and signaled whether to continue the competition.
At this moment, Shao Zifeng shook his head and said in an urn voice: "It's not comparable, it's not comparable." I have a request for Lin Daxia, how dare I fight with you again. ”
Zhang He dragged Mu Xun and urged: "Don't be angry with him, you go in first, and I'll come with a few words to him." ”
Mu Xun glared at Shao Zifeng again, and then strode into the courtyard, and the three people behind him also followed.
Zhang He walked up to Shao Zifeng and said, "I was bumped into by you today, what book do you ask for, tell me first, and when I see the head of the house later, I will wait for the opportunity to help you ask." ”
Shao Zifeng was overjoyed and hurriedly said: "I want the synonymous Wuhequan of the Chaoshan Sect, and I have also brought all these books for exchange." As he spoke, he pointed to a large pile of cloth bags stacked in the corner.
Zhang He glanced at the muttering cloth bag, shook his head and said: "This time is different from the past, there is no rule in this Ten Thousand Books Tower to exchange books for books. I can only help you ask, as for whether the head of the family is willing to give it or not, it depends on your creation. Go back first, and come back in the evening to hear the news. ”
Shao Zifang smiled innocently, and raised his hand to make a gong at Zhang He, but he was a martial artist doing literary work, and this arching was really not right. However, Zhang He didn't care about him, nodded slightly, and told again: "There are two other things you need to keep in mind. The first is that you must not mention to others whether the book exchange is successful or not, and the second is that you must not hold a grudge against the nephew of the head of the family, and you must not seek out his bad luck in the future. Do you rely on these two things?"
Shao Zifeng naturally didn't say half a word at this juncture, but just nodded vigorously and said with a smile: "I know that I will never mention it to others, as for that... Hehe, if I had known that he was Lin Daxia's nephew, how dare I argue with him..."
Zhang He waved his hand impatiently and motioned for him to go. Shao Zifeng was also very interested, and bent down to reach out at the moment, revealing his hand of "piercing the gourd", and dragged all the cloth bags on the ground to his arm, and then the soles of his feet were windy, and he disappeared as soon as he slipped through the smoke.
Back in the courtyard, Zhang He saw that Mu Xun and the others were looking around at the scenery in the courtyard, and several people did not forget to praise and applaud while watching.
Mu Xun said secretly: "Although the Mu Mansion is also magnificent and beautiful, it is still a little less beautiful and elegant than Uncle Zhilin's home... Hehe, compared with the two, Mufu has lost a lot of charm. ”
Zhang He walked up to Mu Xun and asked with a smile, "What about Uncle Mu? didn't he come with you?"
Mu Xun retracted his gaze, turned to look at Zhang He, and sighed: "Alas, I came to Uncle Lin for help for my father's affairs. ”
Zhang Yiyi was stunned and asked, "Is something happening?"
Mu Xun took another long breath, and then told Zhang He about his father's disappearance.
After Zhang He listened, he exclaimed: "It turns out that Uncle Mu has lived in seclusion in Yunnan!"
Mu Xunqi said: "Uncle Zhang, are you actually concerned about this problem?"
Zhang He came back to his senses and smiled apologetically: "I'm sorry, I often hear the head of the family sigh that Uncle Mu has not been found for a long time, so I have paid more attention to his whereabouts in my heart, don't blame, don't blame." ”
Mu Xun nodded and said, "I don't know where Uncle Lin is right now?" can you take me to meet him." ”
Zhang He said: "This is not busy, I will settle your three friends first and then go later." ”
Although Mu Xun was anxious, he could only obey Zhang He's arrangement, after all, he had just arrived, and it was indeed inconvenient to bring outsiders to meet his uncle, so he nodded yes.
Zhang He called the servant, took the other three down to dinner, and then said to Mu Xun: "I'll take you to the "Ten Thousand Book Tower" to meet the head of the house first, and then the dinner will be solved in the building." ”
Mu Xun couldn't wait to meet Lin Zongbian, and when he heard that he could chat with him while eating, he was immediately overjoyed, nodded in agreement again and again, and then followed Zhang He to the "Ten Thousand Book Tower".
Walking on the road, Mu Xunyou looked around, and everywhere he could see, he felt novel, and suddenly remembered something again, so he asked: "Uncle Zhang, I heard that there is a rule in the house that books are exchanged for books, and why do you want to refuse the previous person?"
Zhang He shook his head and sighed bitterly: "This matter is a long story, since the death of the wife and children of the head of the family, his whole person has begun to become sluggish, and he is taking care of the family business, even if he no longer has a good life, even if he uses the word decadence to describe the situation of the head of the family." ”
Mu Xun was taken aback, couldn't help but slow down, and asked, "Is it all the same?"
Zhang Hedao: "It's not always like this, in the first few years, the state of the head of the family was indeed the most decadent and lonely, but with the passage of time, it eased a lot. However, after this incident, his temperament has also changed greatly, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it has changed dramatically. He lived in seclusion from then on, with no smile at all, and he didn't even bother to speak, and sometimes he didn't even come out of the tower for a month or two, and even if he did, he would never say more than three words to me..."
Mu Xun listened quietly to Zhang He's bitterness and suffering, and frequently looked around during the period, but when he saw that everything in this Lin Mansion was beautiful and clean, and there was no dilapidated and lonely appearance, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart: "It's really not easy for this Uncle Zhang, it is really not easy to support the Lin family's large family business with the strength of one person!"
Zhang He also has a hard person to talk to on weekdays, at this time he met Mu Xun, naturally he wanted to vomit quickly, and then babbled about it, and finally sighed: "Alas, people are like this, what are things? Now, there are only a few old servants left in this huge Lin Mansion, and the atmosphere is miserable and miserable, compared with the scenery of the glorious heyday in the past, it is already separated from the clouds and mud..."
Through his retelling, Mu Xun also roughly understood the ups and downs of the Lin family in the past 20 years, and he also regretted it, and sighed: "I didn't expect the death of my relatives to cause such a blow to my uncle... But it also shows that my uncle is really a person who values love and righteousness..."
