Chapter 21 The Transit Envoy
The servants in the old house were all wearing uniform blue-gray short shirts, with sleeves on their forearms and soft-soled boots on their feet, and walked quietly.
When the people in Shaonan City saw the boots of the servants of the Cheng family, they secretly looked at each other with envy. However, they didn't know that the servants would walk quietly on weekdays, but when they walked to the masters, they would deliberately stomp their footsteps. Sometimes when they encountered stones on the ground, they knew that they were really hard. At the end of the day, as long as they compared the degree of swollen feet of their subordinates, they would know that they were close and distant.
When Cheng Jinzhou was at home, he was just a sick grandson. His servants might not be a little awe in front of him. Now he only heard the sound of slapping from the servants around him. When he knew everyone’s opinions were completely different.
It was not too late, and the red lanterns on the roadside were already hanging high, and the candle flames were swaying in the air, revealing the shadows of the trees.
Shiyan walked in front and tried to follow Cheng Jinzhou's habits. There is also a saying. If there were any stubborn stone pits on the road, the people in front would encounter them first. Although there were very few such things in terms of probability, the nobles paid attention to pomp and not cost-effectiveness. As long as a stone was occasionally kicked away in advance, they would feel that this was the case. Moreover, the servants before the attack would always try to show their value.
"This guard has no show." Cheng Jinzhou nodded slightly, and his back steps did not look like a boy at all.
It was not until the second gate that we saw two people in yellow military uniforms standing behind the servants of the Cheng family. It was more like standing in line than guards and surveillance.
The butler who was greeted in front of the door smiled and said, "Congratulations to the third brother for his good health. Several young masters and wives are waiting in the hall and talking to Lord Liu. He is going to be a transshipment officer in Hexi, but it is a good job."
"My mother is also inside?" Cheng Jinzhou also smiled. The stewards of noble families often have the privileges far better than senior servants. Unlike the second stewards' concealment, he directly informed Cheng Jinzhou's guests of the identity.
The butler bowed slightly and replied, "Here, Mr. Liu's wife is also inside, and she is talking happily."
Cheng Jinzhou smiled and nodded, lowered his head and walked in, while Shimo and Shiyan were left outside.
The long hall should be called the Changdian, which is one of the best living rooms in the Cheng family. It looks more like a dance floor supported by dozens of pillars, or an empty stadium, or something like that, but in fact, it is cleverly spliced together by four houses.
The load-bearing wall is either replaced by columns or is cleverly hidden in antiques. Behind the murals and screens, the four rooms look integrated and are no different from one room in use. The main difference is that the construction cost is lower, and most importantly, it does not violate any regulations of the Daxia Dynasty.
Of course, there is no magnificent and roundness and the huge dome, which makes many people feel regretful. From the perspective of the nobles, this regret may be infinitely magnified.
For Dr. Cheng Da, he was the first to enter the hall, and he couldn't help but look around until someone called out, "San brother, let's introduce you to know the two uncles."
The person who spoke was a middle-aged man born in the plane, either Cheng Jinzhou's cousin or his cousin, but he had no impression.
Cheng Jinzhou smiled stiffly and walked in with him, feeling like he was walking in a wooden basketball hall or a museum.
In the center of the hall is a pool of spring water. The real spring water connects with the small river flowing in the house. It connects from the underground to the outside of the moat and then flows into the Mi River. The spring water gurgles out of a height of more than ten centimeters, and then floods the shallow pool of about 50 square meters. The water in the pond is only one finger deep, clear and clear, and there are more than a dozen small fish of different colors swimming.
The fish are all very small, like small goldfish sold for one yuan and two outside the vegetable market. But this is the Cheng family in Shaonan. Needless to think about it, they must be rare varieties with names and names and origins.
Most people sat around several sets of soft chairs centered on the spring water, which looked very light and relaxed, and had no feeling of welcoming important people at all, although Mr. Liu sat on the main seat at first sight.
Cheng Jinzhou bowed and greeted him refreshedly, said a few auspicious words, and 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 also based on family.
"Do you like murals?" Liu Bin has a very typical face with a bulging nose and thick and wide lips.
"A little bit." Cheng Jinzhou shrugged subconsciously.
Liu Bin said in a very long tone: "When I saw you come in, I looked at the murals very seriously. Do you like rock carving or heavy painting?"
Cheng Jinzhou was not prepared at all, so he didn't know what rock carving and heavy color painting were. He didn't know why the other party was interested in it. He said in a general way: "All are good."
"Well, I forgot that you are still a young man. You should really have more contact with things, and don't limit your vision in advance." Liu Bin said and stood up, saying with a kind look: "I heard from Liu Kuang that astrology warlocks are all smart guys. I really want to see what's special about you, but he praises you."
Liu Bin stood up, and Cheng Jinzhou noticed that his shoulders were very wide. Even in regular clothes, he could see his thick chest muscles. Thinking of him as a scholar from the imperial examination, it can be imagined that he did put in a lot of effort in the position of guarding the commander.
But what was most surprising was his words. Cheng Jinzhou said a little uncomfortable: "Oh, I think I have some talent, and I don't say it modestly."
"No need to be modest, no need to be modest." Liu Bin smiled heartily: "At the age of 12, you can attract a fourth-level sorcerer to mention it specifically. Moreover, if you are in good condition, many of the noble children I met like to rely on their parents, so you are different."
"Me?" Cheng Jinzhou pointed to his nose.
"Subordinates like to look at their boss when answering questions, while children like to look at their parents when answering questions." Liu Bin laughed proudly twice, sat back on the soft chair and said, "It's a pity that I want to invite Liu Kuangxing to Hexi, otherwise..."
Liu Bin said, smiling apologetically to Cheng Yunan.
Father Cheng looked as usual: "It is a very lucky thing to be a disciple of the astrology warlock."
"I'm teaching some friends, maybe I can recommend you to try it. They not only teach theology." Liu Bin laughed, took out a business card from his arms, and handed it over to Cheng Jinzhou.
Cheng's mother was very happy to ask Cheng Jinzhou to thank him. The church did not show its power in the Daxia Dynasty, but its ability in some aspects was still quite well-known.
The business card reads Father Condya, with Liu Bin's name signed on the corner, and the back of it reads Sith Temple Academy. Cheng Jinzhou scratched his hair with some distress. Could it be that he wants to exchange for another church school?
