Chapter 21 Transporter

The servants in the old house all wore uniform blue-gray blouses, sleeves on their forearms, and soft-soled thin boots on their feet. They walked quietly.

The people in Shaonan City, when they saw the boots of the servants of the Cheng family, secretly looked at them enviously, but they didn't know that the servants normally walked quietly, but when they came to the masters, they would deliberately stamp out the boots. When footsteps come, sometimes when encountering gravel ground, it is really hard to know.At the end of the day, as long as you compare the degree of swollen feet, you will know how close you are.

When Cheng Jinzhou was at home, he was just a sickly grandson. In front of him, the servants may not have a little awe besides respect.Now I only listen to the pattering sound of the servants around me, when I know the opinions of the people, it is completely different.

It was not too late, the red lanterns on the side of the road had already been hung high, and the candle flames were swaying in mid-air, revealing the uncertain faces of the tree shadows.

Shi Yan walked in front, following Cheng Jinzhou's habit as much as possible. There is a saying - if there are any rocky and shallow pits on the road, the people in front will also encounter them first, although in terms of probability, such things are rare It's rare, but the nobles pay attention to ostentation, not cost-effectiveness. As long as a stone is kicked away in advance occasionally, they will feel that it should be so.What's more, the servants before the fight will always try their best to show their value.

"This guardian envoy doesn't have much ostentation." Cheng Jinzhou nodded slightly, and the way he strode with his hands behind his back didn't look like a teenager at all.

It wasn't until the second gate that I saw two men in khaki military uniforms standing behind the servants of the Cheng family. They were not so much guards and surveillance as they were standing in line for punishment.

The big butler who greeted him at the door came up with a smile and said, "Congratulations, third brother, on your health. Several young masters and wives are waiting in the long hall, talking to Mr. Liu. He is going to be a transfer envoy in Hexi." , but a good job."

"My mother is in there too?" Cheng Jinzhou also responded with a smile. The chief steward of an aristocratic family often has privileges far superior to those of high-ranking servants.Unlike the secrecy of the second housekeeper, he directly informed Cheng Jinzhou of the identity of the guests.

The butler bowed slightly and replied: "Yes, Mrs. Liu's wife is also inside, and she is talking happily."

Cheng Jinzhou nodded with a smile, bowed his head and walked in, while Shi Mo and Shi Yan were left outside.

The long hall should be called the long hall, and it is one of the best living rooms in the Cheng family.It looks more like a dance floor supported by dozens of columns, or an empty stadium, but in fact, it is cleverly stitched together by 4 houses.

The load-bearing walls are either replaced by columns or cleverly hidden behind antiques, frescoes and screens. The four rooms appear to be integrated and in use are no different from one room - the main difference is that the construction cost is lower. Most importantly, it does not violate any regulations of the Great Xia Dynasty.

Of course, many people feel regretful that there is no magnificent, round and costly dome. From the perspective of nobles, 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 out, "Third brother, let me introduce you to the two uncles."

The person who spoke was a middle-aged man born in a plane, either Cheng Jinzhou's cousin or his cousin, but he didn't have much impression.

Cheng Jinzhou smiled stiffly, followed him and walked in, it felt like strolling in a wooden basketball stadium or a museum.

In the center of the long hall is a spring, a real spring, connected to the river flowing in the house, from underground to outside the moat, and then into the Mijiang River.The spring water gurgled out to a height of more than ten centimeters, and then filled a shallow pool of about 50 square meters. The water in the pool was only one finger deep, crystal clear, and swimming with more than a dozen small fish of different colors.

The fish are very small, like small goldfish sold for one yuan or two outside the vegetable market.But this is Shaonan Cheng's family. You don't need to think about it. They must be rare species with names and surnames.

Most of the people were sitting around the group of soft chairs centered on the spring water. They looked very light and relaxed, and they didn't feel like welcoming important people at all, even though Master Liu was sitting on the main seat at first sight.

Cheng Jinzhou greeted him with a refreshing bow and said a few auspicious words. When the other party nodded, he was about to turn around and sit next to his parents. This was obviously not a formal meeting, and the seating was based on family units.

"Do you like murals?" Liu Bin has a typical Chinese character face, with a protruding nose and thick and wide lips.

"A little bit." Cheng Jinzhou subconsciously shrugged.

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

Cheng Jinzhou was not prepared at all. He didn't know what rock carving was, what heavy-color painting was, and he didn't know why the other party was interested in it. He said in a general way: "They are all good."

"Well, I forgot that you are still a young man. You should really be exposed to more things without limiting your horizons in advance." Liu Bin stood up and said pleasantly: "I heard about you from Liu Kuang. Yes, Star Warlocks are all smart guys, I really want to see what’s special about you, he is full of praise for you.”

Liu Bin stood up, and Cheng Jinzhou noticed that his shoulders were very broad. Even in ordinary clothes, he could see the thick chest muscles. Thinking that he was a scholar who came from the imperial examination, it is conceivable that in the position of guardian envoy, he is indeed a It took a lot of effort.

But the most surprising thing was his words, Cheng Jinzhou said a little uncomfortable: "Oh, I think I have some talent, I'm not modest."

"No need to be modest, no need to be humble." Liu Bin smiled heartily: "At the age of 12, it is very remarkable to be able to attract a fourth-level star warlock to make a special mention. Moreover, if you deal with it well, the noble children I met, Many people like to rely on their parents, but you are different."

"Me?" Cheng Jinzhou pointed to his nose.

"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 invite Warlock Liu Kuangxing to Hexi, otherwise..."

As Liu Bin said, he smiled apologetically at Cheng Yun'an.

Cheng's father looked as usual and said, "It's a matter of luck to learn from an astro-warlock."

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

Cheng's mother was very happy to ask Cheng Jinzhou to express her gratitude. The church was not very powerful in the Great Xia Dynasty, but it still had a good reputation for its abilities in certain aspects.

On the business card was Father Condia, Liu Bin's name was signed on the corner, and Sith Temple College was written on the back.Cheng Jinzhou scratched his hair in distress. Did he want to change to another church school?
