Chapter 30: The Greeting Ceremony
This middle-aged man should obviously be Tao Ranju's steward, Lin Yue'er was slightly nervous at first glance, after all, she didn't know what Bizhuang was in Chu Hao's words. He could only follow Chu Hao's previous reminders, raised his head slightly, looked at the middle-aged man with slanted eyes, and faintly said "En" from his nose.
Chu Hao didn't say a word, he stood in place, his long cuffs covering his hands, and the two sword boxes in his arms were extremely eye-catching. The middle-aged man glanced at it, and didn't know what he was thinking, so he stretched out his hand and welcomed the two in: "The person who came is a guest, how about we go in and talk about Bizhuang's friends?"
That's exactly what I mean. Chu Hao replied lightly, bowed his head respectfully to Lin Yue'er, and said, "Miss, let's go in." ”
Entering the gate of Tao Ranju, inside was a corridor in the form of a courtyard, and the steward took Chu Hao and the two of them to the side hall. The place was fully furnished, and the servants were served, and when the middle-aged man walked in, he waved his hand at the servants and asked them to make tea and bow down.
"You two, you may be seated. The middle-aged man made a gesture of invitation, and then sat down on a chair first. He picked up the teacup and blew the tea noodles, but the corner of his eye kept staring at Chu Hao's side.
Chu Hao didn't sit down, but stood respectfully behind the chair, as if checking something, and then nodded to Lin Yue'er and said, "Miss." Lin Yue'er bowed her head slightly and sat down.
"This young lady is bright and beautiful, and it would be a pity if she was a liar or the like. The middle-aged steward never introduced himself, but at this moment, he took a sip of tea, put down the teacup, stared at Lin Yue'er with blazing eyes, and said: "I, Hu Dong, have been working in Taoranju in the capital for twenty-three years, although the time is not too long, but it is definitely not short. And like the girl, who doesn't have a token and just reports a name to enter my Tao Ranju, it's the first. ”
"Oh, what does Your Excellency mean by that?" Do you still think that our Bizhuang is a liar?" Chu Hao held the sword box and said coldly, "Disrespectful to our young lady, slandering the reputation of my young lady, even if he is Tao Ranju's manager, the old man wants to seek justice!" Saying that, Chen Honghong controlled Chu Hao's body, and the aura instantly emanated, as vast as the deep sea, instantly enveloping Hu Dong!
"Steward!"
In less than three seconds after Chu Hao exuded his aura, several guards immediately rushed in outside the door, all of them were martial artists in the skin refining period, looking at Chu Hao in black robes with a vigilant expression.
Hu Dong's eyebrows jumped imperceptibly, but he didn't speak, and his face was calm.
At this time, Lin Yue'er stretched out her hand to Chu Hao behind her, and said lightly: "Sword Elder, don't be rude." ”
Chu Hao's lips moved slightly, endured it, slowly retracted his momentum, and said, "Yes, miss." Then he stood behind Lin Yue'er, like a wooden stake, and didn't move. And everything that happened just now seems to have nothing to do with him.
However, those guards did not dare to slack off, they had just felt the powerful aura emanating from the black-robed hunchback, even if there was a huge disparity in strength, as Tao Ranju's guards, they had to be loyal and conscientious and protect the steward.
However, they couldn't figure out that there were still people who were not afraid of death who dared to come to Tao Ran to live in the wilderness.
"Stand down. ”
Hu Dong was calm, and when Chu Hao was stopped by Lin Yue'er, he picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea, and waved his hand at the group of guards. And only Chu Hao, who had been observing him, noticed that his eyebrows were slanted down, but he was nervous.
The guards were ordered to retreat immediately.
"Careless, we're not here to make trouble this time. But if Tao Ranju wants to slander our Bizhuang because of Shili, then the people of our Bizhuang are not the ones who dare not fight back after being humiliated. Lin Yue'er said lightly: "We just want to talk about a business with Tao Ranju." ”
"I see, it's abrupt. Hu Dong couldn't see through Chu Hao's strength, just now, he did have a sense of horror facing the sea, and at this moment he said: "This old gentleman, the breath is perfect, and the cultivation is even more unfathomable, although he is only one step away from the innate in the next, but compared to the old gentleman, he thinks that he is inferior." Presumably, the old gentleman should not be an unknown person, and the young lady of your family is unlikely to be a general. Please accept the following apologies. ”
Saying that, Hu Dong stood up, then raised the teacup, and said: "There is no wine here, so I will dare to replace the wine with tea, and I will compensate the young lady and the old gentleman." Sure enough, after drinking all the tea, he meant something: "Although I feel that the name Bizhuang is a bit eary, but both of them are dragons and phoenixes among people, presumably, they will not be strange in the future." ”
They are all smart people, so naturally they don't have to beat around the bush to speak, Chu Hao was overjoyed when he heard this, and before he had time to speak, he saw Lin Yue'er waving his hand, and also picked up a cup of tea, and said: "Steward Hu is so polite, I also salute Steward Hu with a cup." As he spoke, he took a sip, put down the cup, and smiled slightly.
This smile is pure and beautiful. Hu Dong took Lin Yue'er's actions in his eyes, and then said, "Hehe, Miss is really happy." We Tao Ranju have been in the capital for so long, so naturally we are open to welcome visitors from all over the world, Miss has business to do, we Tao Ranju naturally will not refuse, but I don't know what kind of business it is?"
"Not busy. Lin Yue'er said lightly: "Old Jian, take it to Steward Hu." ”
"Yes, miss. Chu Hao walked out from behind, holding the sword box in his hand for some time, and then gently placed it on Hu Dong's table.
"Dare to ask Miss, what is this ......" Hu Dong looked puzzled and looked at Lin Yue'er.
"Just smell it. Lin Yue'er's face was calm, and her gestures were graceful. The words are also full of coldness, but this coldness is not pure, but also mixed with a sense of warmth, the two dissolve, but will not make people feel unapproachable, but will give birth to this woman is the pride of the sky, and it should be so.
This scene, Chu Hao, who was watching it on the side, was speechless. Before she came in just now, this girl was nervous and at a loss, but now she is a different person.
It is said that women are born actors, and it is true.
The caretaker sighed lightly, then opened the bottle, sniffed it with his nose, and suddenly, his face showed surprise, and said, "This is an elixir!"
There are a total of four earthy yellow pills in this bottle, and each one is full of medicinal fragrance and aura, it is by no means an ordinary product, but a truly useful elixir!
Steward Hu can be regarded as having seen a lot of rare characters, so naturally he will not lose his temper at this time, although he was indeed shocked in his heart, but he quickly returned to normal, and said: "If you don't guess wrong, this should be a human-level third-grade elixir." ”
Where did Lin Yue'er know what the human realm was, Chu Hao hurriedly said on the side: "Hu Guan has good eyesight, this is indeed the 'Tiger Muscle Pill' of the third grade of the human level." ”
"The pills that are cultivated for the second grade and above are all hard to find, and Bizhuang is really extraordinary, and he took out four third-grade pills at once. Hu Dong's gaze at the two of them suddenly changed, and said, "Are the young lady and the old gentleman planning to auction off these pills after our auction in three days?"
Saying that, Hu Dong said again: "Counting it, there has been no auction of such high-quality pills in the capital for nearly half a year, and the four pills taken out by Guizhuang must definitely cause a rush of grabbing." ”
"Nope. Chu Hao opened his mouth and said, "This bottle of 'Tiger Muscle Pill' is not for auction. ”
"Oh, why is that?" Hu Dong was surprised, and Chu Hao's next words made him stunned.
I only heard Chu Hao say: "My young lady said, Fang just fell in love with Steward Hu at first sight, this bottle of Tiger Muscle Pill should be regarded as a meeting gift for our Miss Bizhuang and given to Steward Hu." ”
