Chef Hao's goal is too big. Even if he tries to avoid it, it's still easy to see.
"Hey, let me tell you something. Our master has said that he will never let our young lady meet the fat man again. You should go quickly, or I will report to the official." The housekeeper raised his head and said, "I believe you also know that our master used to be an official. Although he has already resigned, he is very familiar with the officials in this town. If you don't leave soon, I will make you eat the board."
The housekeeper is old-fashioned.
Du Junshu clenched his fist and was a little nervous. It seemed that he was still a little afraid of the board.
"Housekeeper, do you know the head escort in the town?" Xia Xiaoran's eyes turned and said, "we're here this time, but Zhang escort asked us to come here and have something important to discuss with your master. Zhang escort had dinner in our Dingwei restaurant today, and he also brought a lot of friends. I think the housekeeper knows about this? "
The housekeeper looks embarrassed. It's obvious that he doesn't have much money to eat in Dingwei restaurant.
He turned to see the little servant. The little servant whispered, "it's true. It's all spread in the town."
Xia Xiaoran mouth provoked, Du Junshu also secretly relieved.
"So what? If head escort Zhang really has something to do with our master, he will send people from the escort agency. Why did he send you a little servant?" The housekeeper said haughtily again. He was very angry at his ignorance and became angry.
"You don't know something about that. I'm very good friends with head escort Zhang. The head escort Zhang said that if he sent people from the escort agency, he would scare Master Liu. That's why he asked me to come. I can talk about a lot of things gently. " Xia Xiaoran talks nonsense slowly: "as for the fact that Zhang escort is my friend, you don't have to be so depressed. Today, Zhang escort himself came to the kitchen to find me. Have you heard about it?"
The housekeeper's face was in a dilemma. He looked at the little servant, who nodded again.
"I advise you to report it... Because Zhang said that as long as I go to Liu's mansion and give his name, I can see Master Liu immediately." Xia Xiaoran said with a smile: "if you let Zhang escort know his name, it doesn't work for you. I'm afraid he will be furious, right?"
"In that case, I'll inform the master, and I'll warn you that if you cheat our master, you will suffer!" The housekeeper was still suspicious and said, "wait here."
Then the housekeeper turned and ran into the courtyard, leaving the little servant.
Xia Xiaoran winked at Du Junshu. Du Junshu swallowed a mouthful of saliva, emboldened, and said to the servant: "Hey, boy, come here a little, I have something to say to you."
The little servant was suspicious. After a few steps, he was caught by Du Junshu and whispered to his head.
Xia Xiaoran couldn't hear what Du Junshu said, but his face turned red and white, as if he had heard something extraordinary.
This boy is really a bit of a liar, Xia Xiaoran thought, and winked at chef Hao, who was hiding in the distance but was easy to find.
Chef Hao instantly incarnated into a flexible fat man, several dexterous walking, like the fat dog in the cat and mouse, chuckled into the Liu's courtyard.
The little servant's back was to the door, but Du Junshu was to the door. Seeing chef Hao enter the courtyard, he released the little servant's neck, patted him on the shoulder and said, "now you can understand. It can't be delayed. It's better to do it earlier."
The little servant's face is still white and green, complex to death, see Xia Xiaoran is straight curious.
The housekeeper came back again and again with a dignified face. It seemed that he had been reprimanded by Master Liu. At the moment, he became much more humble and said, "since you are the noble guests sent by escort Zhang, you are naturally invited inside."
He said, looking around with a pair of mouse like eyes. He saw that chef Hao, who was hiding behind the tree, had disappeared. His face was a little hesitant, but in front of Xia Xiaoran, he didn't dare to ask.
Xia Xiaoran follows the housekeeper closely, followed by Du Junshu. The servant walks at the end. Looking at his face, he seems to be thinking about what Du Junshu said to him a moment ago.
Xia Xiaoran into the courtyard, only to accurately understand what the Jinyu, which is not.
From the outside, the courtyard is really beautiful. Although it is not as elegant as dingweilou, it is definitely a luxury house. But this mansion is extremely dilapidated.
The mahogany pillars on the corridor have been in disrepair for a long time, and even the red paint on them has peeled off. At the foot of the corridor, it is not marble pavement, but gravel. There is also a decent pool in the courtyard, but the water is muddy. Maybe there were still fish in the pool, but no one cleaned up the fish in it, which sent out a strong smell of rotten fish.
In the main hall, it's even more shabby.
The hall was very large, with two carved red chairs and a vermilion wide footed table facing the door. There are square plaques on the beams, crooked landscape paintings on the walls, and characters carved on the columns. After the wind and frost, we can't see what was originally carved.
Master Liu has a moderate figure and a beard. Now he has a white beard. When I was sitting down, I was a bit of an official. Du Jun always worships Master Liu. After all, there are not many people in this town. When Master Liu saw Xia Xiaoran coming in, he quickly got up, slightly bowed and said, "Miss Xia, I don't know that master Zhang sent you here. I hope you'll forgive me. As for the old housekeeper, he's so dazzled that he can't recognize the general situation. Miss Xia, don't worry about him." The housekeeper's face was ugly. After being scolded by Master Liu, he left in disgrace. Master Liu asked Xia Xiaoran to sit down. Xia Xiaoran said nothing. He asked Du Junshu to sit down and then said, "I heard that this brother is also determined to take the imperial examination. Is this really true?" Du Junshu is naturally proud: "that is natural, only the imperial examination officer, can display my lifelong ambition." He took it as his lifelong pursuit. But master Liu sighed: "it's a pity that the officialdom is dark. I don't want to lose my own nature. This is my advice to you." With that, he shakes his head, which is the standard posture of scholars in this era. Du Junshu was somewhat puzzled about this, but he interrupted him before he asked“ Miss Xia, I don't know what happened when the head escort sent you to find me? " Master Liu asked respectfully. Master Liu is really poor. Xia Xiaoran thought, "Zhang escort knows that master Liu has a valuable treasure. Head escort Zhang has always been dealing with treasure in his life, so he asked me to ask Master Liu if he needs his escort agency to protect the treasure for Master Liu. "
