ask incense

The people gathered in the corridor were very good at watching the atmosphere. When Zhao Ming and the housekeeper smiled and said it was okay, no one wanted to be the first bird, and they all went back to their rooms silently.

The housekeeper is polite, "If there is any need or inconvenience, just say so. I will try my best to serve everyone."

Zhao Ming replied with a polite smile, "Please don't worry, everything is well arranged, there is no inconvenience. Go ahead."

The butler smiled and bent over, then turned and left.Seeing the man walking away, Zhao Ming patted his chest and let out a long sigh of relief, "I was scared to death, I didn't even know you were talking to him, otherwise I wouldn't be so reckless."

"Didn't you just come to see me to say that you lost something? Why did you change your mind when you saw him?"

Zhao Ming turned around and looked at the corridor where there was no one else except them, "Just now there were a swarm of people here to discuss with the housekeeper and reason why something was missing. They are the gunmen. This is in the Tang family. Do you think there is any valuable display in this courtyard? Those of us who rush here are not the distinguished guests of the Tang family. Otherwise, it will be seen as a joke by others.”

Hearing what he said, Pei Ling just shook his head and sighed, sighing that sometimes people are quite spineless.

The butler walked to the main room in the innermost courtyard with some headaches, took three deep breaths before knocking on the door.

"Come in." A cheerful voice came from inside the room, and one could tell that one was in a good mood.

The butler opened the door and entered the room, and saw Tang Lin happily counting his trophies lying on the desk, with his hat at hand, and the one-piece overalls on his body hadn't been changed yet.He thought he took out the things he scoured as soon as he entered the door, admiring them one by one.His young master has a weird temper and perverse behavior. These are all fine, but the most troublesome thing for the housekeeper is the young master's habit of stealing.

The butler took a look at the things that the young master had stolen from the outer courtyard on the table. None of them were valuable. He didn't understand what the Tang family couldn't buy, so why did he have to risk his reputation to steal these scumbags?Almost got caught today.

The butler called out worriedly, "Master."

"Okay, I know what you're going to say." Tang Lin happily dismantled a stolen bracelet and used the dropped beads as marbles, "You have to persuade me to be careful and not lose it. Identity. But look, didn’t I retreat today?” After speaking, he smiled slyly at the butler, and popped out a bead.

"But young master, you were almost caught today."

Tang Lin didn't take it seriously, "That's why it's exciting." He also wanted to ask who was chasing him just now. Although he is proficient in stealing things, he still has to be careful every time, walking with his head down and not daring to talk to others. Keep your eyes on each other, and let no one see his face. If you turn around, you will be recognized at the Douxiang meeting, and you will be nagged to death by the housekeeper.

The butler couldn't do anything about Tang Lin's playful smile, so he could only cheer him up by reminding him of the past, "Master, have you forgotten that you were expelled from school for stealing the belongings of your classmates? The master was so angry because of this incident that you... ..."

For the sake of Tang Lin's face, the housekeeper didn't mention the following things, but Tang Lin himself remembered that when he was expelled from school, he was hung from the beam by the old man and beaten. He promised himself that he would never steal again.

The master of the Tang family was strict. Tang Lin's father passed away early, and he became a success for him. There was no such thing as an intergenerational relationship between the grandparents and grandchildren.

When it came to that year, Tang Lin's eyes dimmed and he turned his expression away. The butler sighed and reported to him that he was working normally, "Xuan Shao said that his friend will arrive tomorrow and will bring a distinguished guest over."

"Bring one more person, wouldn't it be another room? Did anyone say anything? Will it help our family?"

The butler shook his head and said he didn't know, "Mr. Xuan didn't say anything specific, he just said that you should wait and see."

Tang Lin smiled, "It sounds like a surprise. Could it be that Hefeng came here secretly without telling me?"

"Master," the housekeeper helplessly reminded him of his innocence, "Master Hefeng and Young Master Xuan have no intersection, and if he wants to come, how can he pass Young Master Xuan?"

"Yes." Tang Lin who was awakened by the butler suddenly lost interest, and waved his hand, "You can arrange it as you like, who cares."

The housekeeper nodded and stepped back out of the room. As soon as the door was closed, the room became much darker. Tang Lin lay on the table and continued to look at his spoils, but the initial excitement was gone. The newly acquired items were only warm for 3 minutes, and they would never arrive. Stuff is what people can't forget. He often misses Yue Hefeng, but it's a pity that far away water can't save near fire. Only the thrill of stealing and the secret joy of getting things in hand give his empty inner shell a short-term sense of fullness.

Tang Lin flicked away a bead on the table and thought with a sigh, "Santa Claus probably won't give me presents this year."

On the second day, a welcome party was held in Tang's courtyard.When Zhao Ming got the news, he packed up early, thinking of going to the main hall to see who was there this time.Don't forget to call Pei Ling, so they can go there together.

It's a pity that when I went to Pei Ling's room, I found that both of them hadn't tidied up yet.

"Why haven't you tidied it up yet?" Zhao Ming walked in through the door familiarly, seeing that the two were confronting each other, but he didn't know why, "What are you two doing?"

It turned out that Pei Ling and Sai Tianxian were arguing about what clothes to wear when going out.Pei Ling helped Sai Tianxian prepare the regular clothes early in the morning, the third child, black shirt, work pants and white cloth shoes, most people dressed like mourners.Sai Tianxian was not happy, he wanted to wear the new clothes sent yesterday.As soon as Pei Ling thought of the way Young Master Xuan and the housekeeper looked at Sai Tianxian, he refused him to go out in new clothes.

As soon as Pei Ling refused, Sai Tianxian became anxious with him, "Why? Obviously you said yesterday that you are wearing a good-looking dress!"

"Yesterday was..."

It was worn for myself to see. Of course Pei Ling said it looked good, but if she wore it out today, she didn't know who would make an idea for someone like Sai Tianxian.

"Anyway, I can't do it!" Pei Ling, who was easy to talk in the past, has become the patriarch of the autocratic patriarch today, who doesn't give Sai Tianxian any room to bargain.

The more he said no, the more Sai Tianxian wanted to wear it, especially when Zhao Ming came over. Sai Tianxian took a look and saw that Zhao Ming had decorated himself very delicately, so he didn't want to be suppressed in front of Pei Ling.

Zhao Ming just came over to ask them to go there together, but from Sai Tianxian's point of view, Zhao Ming dressed up carefully to show Pei Ling first, which is the same as wearing new clothes to show Pei Ling yesterday. It's the same as deliberately asking if you look good, because you know that you are good-looking, so you ask on purpose.

Zhao Ming stood inside the house for a long time, since he entered the door and asked that question, no one paid any attention to him. The two were arguing wholeheartedly, and they didn't care about him at all.

"Black, wear black, black looks good."

"Blue, just wear blue, blue new."

"black!"

"blue!"

"black!"

"blue!"

Zhao Ming jumped in at the opportunity, "Anything is fine."

The two turned their heads to him at the same time, "Don't interrupt!"

The corner of Zhao Ming's mouth twitched, "I don't want to interrupt, it's not like you haven't decided what clothes to wear yet, and everyone in the main hall is probably here."

As for the nature of the welcome party, Pei Ling had guessed it right. It wasn't a serious welcome party. In Pei Ling's opinion, it would be best not to go, but the Tang family couldn't help but remind them from time to time.

Sai Tianxian didn't care whether he was late or not, he only cared about his new clothes, and as soon as Zhao Ming finished speaking, he yelled, "Blue ones, blue ones, just wear blue ones!"

"Why don't you go first, we will be late anyway, so we won't delay you." After he finished speaking with Zhao Ming, he turned around and continued to line up with Sai Tianxian, "No, wearing black!"

Zhao Ming really didn't want to delay any longer. Seeing that their bickering would lead to no results, it would be a thankless task to persuade the two of them. Thinking about it, it's better to go first.

"Then I don't care about you."

In the end, Zhao Ming went to the main hall alone.At that time, there were quite a few people in the main hall, and it seemed that everyone had the same idea as him, and they all wanted to end the game earlier and spread the bait.Although it was a step late, he was not in a hurry. After all, he had already approached Shen Xuan. Although the first time it didn't feel good, it could even be said that he was a little disgusted, but he still didn't want to let Shen Xuan go. .

No, when he entered the door, he saw Shen Xuan sitting in the teacher's chair with his legs crossed, and four or five people around him pretending to hold goblets around him.Shen Xuan just looked at Zhao Ming who had just entered the door at Zhi Yi.

After Zhao Ming and him looked at each other for a while, they didn't go forward, but turned around and went to the dining table.It was true that he wanted to avoid him instinctively, but he also carried a temptation. If he came over, he would have a bargaining chip in front of him, not much, as long as he felt a little guilty about himself.If he doesn't come...

Zhao Ming lowered his eyes, the dessert on the plate in front of him was out of focus, if he couldn't come over, what should he do?

Fortunately, this worry did not last long. The sound of approaching footsteps behind him made Zhao Ming, whose heart was beating wildly, resist the excitement of making a desperate bet and winning the bet. Shen Xuan walked up behind him, leaned over and pretended to pick up the meal, and whispered to him: He said, "What, are you angry?"

Even though he was very excited inside, he still tried his best to maintain a steady and indifferent tone in his voice, "It was clearly agreed at the time, and if I shouted the safe word, you would stop."

But at that time, after he shouted the safe word three times in a row, his mouth was forcefully gagged.

"Well, it was my fault."

Zhao Ming was delighted to hear this, and would admit his mistake, proving that he was not a purely passive party.

Shen Xuan was very generous, "Except for the price that was negotiated at the beginning, tell me, what do you want? Take it as my compensation for you."

Zhao Ming finally turned around, met his eyes seriously, looked all the way down, and finally stopped on Shen Xuan's wrist, looked sadly at the Patek Philippe on Shen Xuan's wrist and said, "Yesterday I lost A watch. I like that watch very much."

Zhao Ming lost a Casio watch, and what he likes is the one worn by Shen Xuan.

Shen Xuan smiled, and raised his hand in front of Zhao Ming to untie the watch. Zhao Ming waited expectantly, but he didn't want to kill Cheng Yaojin halfway.

"Let's hear what style I lost. Let's help find it together."

Zhao Ming frowned, Shen Xuan stopped his movements and turned around in surprise, seeing Lin Ming, he couldn't understand, ignored Zhao Ming, and went straight to Lin Ming.The two walked up to each other with a tacit understanding and fist bumped.

"Lin Ming, why did you come here?"

"I have something to do. Unlike you," Lin Ming said, looking up at Zhao Ming not far away, "you are becoming more and more generous to people."

Even though the other party made insinuations, Zhao Ming still smiled back, because he was Shen Xuan's friend, and without an invitation letter, he didn't have to go through five hurdles like himself to enter the Tang family.The same name is Ming, which is really different.Zhao Ming lowered his head to drink water, using the cup to cover up his uncontrollable expression because of his thoughts just now.

"Didn't you say you lost your watch?" Lin Ming asked loudly with a friendly look.

Zhao Ming frowned, his attitude was polite enough, why did he insist on holding on to him?

In fact, Zhao Ming misunderstood, Lin Ming was not targeting him, he was just making use of it.After Zhao Ming finished asking, he turned his head and asked the whispering crowd around him, "It's not just him who lost his watch."

Suddenly the discussion became louder, and everyone did lose some items.

Lin Ming waved his hand, and acted like a master in someone else's house, "It's okay, just tell me what you lost."

The butler rushed over upon hearing this, and was not quite sure who Lin Ming was, "Sir, today's reception is to welcome everyone to the Fragrance Fighting Party. If there is anything wrong with it, please come aside and tell me, and I will take care of it." .”

Shen Xuan didn't know what Lin Ming wanted to do, so he could only tell the housekeeper, "He is the friend I mentioned to you."

The butler suddenly felt dizzy, Shen Xuan's friend, what should he do.The more troublesome thing for him is yet to come. Tang Lin came here at this time. As the host, he was supposed to give a speech at the welcome meeting. Because he stole a batch of things yesterday, he was refreshed, so he went to play again today. The thing he stole yesterday turned out to be late, so it got stuck at an embarrassing time.

Tang Lin entered the door and saw that everyone was very quiet, and asked the housekeeper in confusion, "What's the matter?"

The housekeeper had no choice but to show the young master Shen Xuan's friend with his eyes. Tang Lin looked at Shen Xuan in a daze. Lin Ming, who was still instigating everyone, said, "This is my friend."

Tang Lin stepped forward, "I haven't asked for advice yet."

Lin Ming turned around and smiled at Tang Lin, "Long time no see, my old classmate."

Tang Lin's face changed slightly, he looked at Lin Ming, and it took him a while to realize, and he replied politely, "It's been a long time."

"That's right." Lin Ming said with a smile about Tang Lin's miserable past, "I haven't seen you since you were expelled from school."

This time Tang Lin's complexion became visibly worse, and many people who heard it pretended to be chatting and dispersed in twos and threes, staying away from them.The others left with winking eyes, but it was hard for Zhao Ming. Zhao Ming was still in front of the dining table. Standing silently, trying to hide his breath, hoping that no one will notice him.
