Chapter 32
Donghai County Taishou Mansion is located in the northern core area of ​​Zhenhai City.

The entire prefect's mansion is not as large as the Lu family's, but the gate is very imposing, especially the pair of stone lions in front of the gate with their fangs and claws showing a menacing aura.Among the plaques hanging on the door, the four characters of Zhenhai Chengshou are majestic.All show the majesty of a prefect of a county.

When Lu Yuan came to the gate of the prefect's mansion, Liu Angxing was already waiting here.This guy looks like a dog, and he stands respectfully, making Lu Yuan think he has admitted the wrong person.

"Brother Liu?"

Liu Angxing said with a serious face: "Liu Angxing is here to welcome distinguished guests by the order of my father, please hurry up!"

"Young boss won't have schizophrenia." Lu Yuan walked into the prefect's mansion with a gift box while thinking.

The main gate of the Taishou's Mansion was only opened on important occasions, so Lu Yuan was naturally not qualified to enter through the main gate, but walked into the Taishou's Mansion through the corner door on the side.

After entering, there is a screen wall in front of you, which looks like an inkstone.Lu Yuan secretly turned the gift box in his hand, thinking that Fang Duanyan was the right choice.

Bypassing the screen wall, there was no one around.Lu Yuan stepped forward and touched Liu Angxing's shoulder: "Hey, stop pretending."

Liu Angxing didn't look sideways and ignored him at all.

"What is your father looking for from me, let me tell you?"

"I don't know what the hell. He won't let me meddle in serious business."

"Where's Uncle Ye?" Lu Yuan still wanted to ask what happened to that Lu An.

"It seems that my father sent him to another place." Liu Angxing said, "Okay, don't talk to me anymore. It will spread to my father and say that I don't obey the rules."

Later, Liu Angxing didn't say a word to Lu Yuan in a daze, but just led the way silently.

Taishou Liu hosted a family banquet, so Liu Yanxing naturally could not walk to the office area, but took the winding path leading to the other courtyard.

This is a bluestone path, which looks ordinary at first glance.But Lu Yuan took a closer look and found that the paving stones were almost the same size and arranged neatly.I don't know how much labor and cost are involved in this.

On both sides of the road are typical Jiangnan garden layouts.The deep bamboo forest, rockery and strange rocks, pavilions and waterside pavilions are overwhelming.Lu Yuan was in a daze and thought he had entered some tourist attraction.

However, after passing a rockery, Lu Yuan was stunned by the sight in front of him.

I saw that both sides of the road were almost filled with golden chrysanthemums.

"System: Ah, host, be careful to blind your titanium alloy eyes!"

"..."

Who did he learn the aesthetics of this farmhouse music, and why is it the same as Lao Mouzi in his previous life!

At the end of the path is a small bridge with gurgling water below.There is a simple farmhouse at the other end of the bridge, surrounded by a fence.

A scholar in green shirt stood with his hands behind his back in front of the hut, looking up at the sky at 45 degrees.

The two servants opened the fence gate and stood respectfully on both sides.

The scholar in green shirt has a refined temperament, and his long three-stroke beard flutters in the wind. He really has the demeanor of a hermit picking chrysanthemums under the eastern fence.

Lu Yuan saw that his appearance was [-]% similar to Liu Angxing, so he thought to himself, could it be Liu Taishou?

He was about to take the initiative to say hello, but he heard the scribe singing loudly: "Spring water is everywhere in the south and north of the house, but I see flocks of gulls coming day by day, the flower paths are not swept by visitors, and the gate is now open for you~"

Poof~
Lu Yuan almost choked to death on his own saliva.

This Du Fu's "Guest Arrival" has already been spoiled by others in the previous life. Now in Lu Yuan's heart, the image of the scholar in green shirt has completely collapsed, and he can hardly look directly at it, okay?

The scribe finished reciting a good poem, and said loudly to Lu Yuan: "Young hero outside Lu Yuan, Liu has lost his way, please forgive me."

Sure enough, it was the prefect Liu Zhiyuan!

Like a father, like a son, Ye Quan also said that Taishou Liu was serious.

Serious hell!
Lu Yuan's original nervous mood disappeared, and he leaned slightly with the gift box in his arms: "Grassman Lu Yuan, I have met the prefect."

"Please!" Liu Zhiyuan pointed to a stone table in the courtyard and said, "Please sit down. Today is a family banquet, so there is no need for members Lu to be cautious, just be casual."

There are only two stone benches around the stone table.

Liu Angxing brought Lu Yuan there, turned around and left.It turned out that this banquet was just Lu Yuan's guest.

Lu Yuan stepped into the fence generously and sat down on the stone bench. Liu Zhiyuan sat opposite him.

Lu Yuan placed the brocade box in his hand on the stone table, and carefully took out the inkstone.

"Small idea, no respect."

Generally speaking, it is good to give the gifts brought by the guests to the servants.The inkstone brought by Lu Yuan is not ordinary.It is the best among Duan inkstones.It's big fun to smash it.

The so-called Duan inkstone refers to the inkstone produced in Duanzhou in the early Tang Dynasty.Duan inkstone is famous for its solid and lubricated stone, delicate and delicate, and has the unique property of "breathing and grinding ink".And the inkstone that Lu Yuan found was engraved with the pattern of the sun and the moon, five stars and pearls.

"This is?" Liu Zhiyuan was moved when he saw this inkstone.

"Back to the prefect, this thing was given to Di Renjie by Wu Zetian of the Tang Dynasty, please accept it with a smile, the prefect."

"Hey~ this thing is too valuable, it's not appropriate!" Liu Zhiyuan put the inkstone back into the brocade box seriously and handed it to the servant beside him, "Find a place to keep it carefully. If something goes wrong, be careful about your life!"

Lu Yuan: "..."

You can accept bribes so righteously?It is really compelling!

Liu Zhiyuan winked at the servant again, and someone immediately came out of the hut and poured tea for Lu Yuan and Liu Zhiyuan respectively.

"Hehe, nephew, please use tea." Liu Zhiyuan even changed his name, "This tea is different from others, and you can't drink it next to it."

Lu Yuan looked down, MMP, chrysanthemum tea.With a trembling hand, I accidentally spilled a little.

"System: Chrysanthemum tea is all over the floor, your smile has turned yellow. Don't you want to drink some, you have to give Liu Taishou some face!"

"I don't want to be ashamed?"

It is impossible to put chrysanthemums in the mouth, even in this life.

At this time, the servants brought refreshments one after another.They are delicate and small snacks such as mung bean cakes.

"This old man and my father, Mr. Lu, are old friends. It's a pity that your father doesn't have holidays. It's embarrassing." Liu Zhiyuan said politely, "Fortunately, Mr. Lu is young and promising, and your father has a lot of knowledge. It should be a smile."

"The prefect is absurd. In fact, my father..."

Liu Zhiyuan interrupted Lu Yuan, and began to introduce the refreshments on the table. He pointed to a stack of petal-shaped pastries and said, "Nephew, I have a tricky mouth. I am most satisfied with this Yannian cake. Try it quickly."

"Respect is worse than obedience."

This pastry is exquisite and translucent, shaped like a flower, and has a delicate fragrance.Especially the name is also festive, prolonging life.

Lu Yuan casually took a piece and tasted it.

Sweet, soft and crisp, it melts in the mouth, full of fragrance.Really good!
"How?" Liu Zhiyuan said with a chuckle, "This Yannian cake is rigorously made, with exquisite materials. It uses caramel, glutinous rice flour, vegetable oil, and chrysanthemum honey as raw materials, and is refined through more than ten processes. And it was brought by the old man from the capital. Famous chefs prepare it by themselves, and ordinary cooks can't make such delicious food."

Lu Yuan felt good after eating it and was memorizing the ingredients.Malt sugar, glutinous rice flour, vegetable oil, chrysanthemum honey…

Huh, something strange seems to have been mixed in.
