Along the way, Shen Qing noticed the furnishings of the Nangong family. Although the decoration of the Nangong family was not as good as that of the Meng family in Wuyun Shangcheng, it was still quite grand.
What Shen Qing paid more attention to was the patrolling status of the Nangong family's guards.
Just when he sent Nangong Yun back, it was already night, and the night breeze was cool.
Shen Qing noticed that when he walked from the door to here, he encountered no less than five patrol teams.
Shen Qing lowered his head, raised his eyebrows slightly, and had a funny smile on his lips.
How could an ordinary big family arrange patrols so frequently? The Nangong family has done a good job in protection.
Shen Qing knew that the Nangong family had some secrets, but he could only find out about them later.
Because Nangong Yun had already pushed him in, when he looked up, he could see a person sitting on the stool directly in front of him.
The housekeeper stepped forward and shouted: "Master of the house."
Nangong Yun, however, excitedly and casually saluted him and said, "Father." Nangong Yun was just about to tell him that he met a strong man today, when he saw the head of the Nangong family's expression darken and he patted the table.
, the whole table shook.
Regardless of whether there were outsiders present or not, the head of the Nangong family said coldly: "You bastard, kneel down!"
Nangong Yun was startled, and then realized that the housekeeper was exaggerating when he said his father was angry.
Nangong Yun had always been very sensible, so he knelt down without saying a word, complaining in his heart. He originally wanted to take credit, but now he was scolded and shut up before he even started to take credit.
Looking at my father's current state, I can't hear even a single word from him, so let's wait until his anger subsides for a while before talking.
Shen Qing was also startled by the movement, but stood beside him, seemingly unmoved, but secretly making up his mind.
Here, the head of the Nangong family had seen Shen Qing when he came in, but the anger in his heart overwhelmed everything else, so he taught his son a lesson first.
At this time, Nangong Yun stopped talking. He took a deep breath and barely maintained his composure and said to Shen Qing.
"Who is this brother?" Although Shen Qing stood very low-key next to him, he could see that Shen Qing was very strong, so he spoke a little more politely.
Shen Qing listened to the Nangong family master talking to him, and then raised his head, smiled slightly, gentle and polite, and covered his eyes as he looked at the Nangong family master: "Shen Qing, I have met the Nangong family master."
The head of the Nangong family looks to be in his forties or fifties, wearing navy blue clothes. Because he has been in a high position all year round, his whole face has a serious look, his eyebrows are very thick, and his eyes are slightly violent and gloomy, but he is
He hides it well.
Shen Qing looked at him calmly, and the head of the Nangong family was also looking at this young man.
Shen Qingren seems to be very gentle and polite. Judging from what happened just now, it seems that he is sensible and knows what the occasion is and reduces his sense of presence.
However, what the head of the Nangong family wants to know is, who is this young man? How did he come back with Nangong Yun?
The head of the Nangong family only received Shen Qing's self-introduction and frowned slightly.
The butler who had been standing next to him had been with the Nangong family head for many years and was always very good at observing people's emotions. He glanced at Nangong Yun and knew what the Nangong family head was thinking.
The housekeeper immediately stepped forward, bent down and explained to the head of the Nangong family in a low voice: "This is a person that the fifth young master accidentally met outside. The fifth young master praised him very much. It is said that he is a very powerful person. He said
I want to invite you into our family."
The housekeeper explained, looking at the face of the head of the Nangong family.
The head of the Nangong family frowned slightly. It was difficult for Nangong Yun to praise someone like this. He could also see that Shen Qing was quite capable, but he still needed to think more about inviting him to the family.
The head of the Nangong family was thinking about it, but Nangong Yun, who was kneeling here, couldn't hold his knees any longer. When he heard the housekeeper talking about Shen Qing, he couldn't hold back the excitement in his heart.
Therefore, after listening to the butler's words, he couldn't help but add below: "Father, this is what I just wanted to tell you. Isn't the family recruiting strong men? I also accidentally met Brother Shen outside.
He is really amazing, father, how about..."
The head of the Nangong family glanced over, and Nangong Yun's voice weakened, and finally he stopped talking and knelt on the ground.
Shen Qing also observed words and expressions and lowered his sense of existence.
Here, Nangong Yun shut up, and the head of the Nangong family said to Shen Qing in a friendly manner: "It's getting late today, and my son has caused a lot of trouble to his brothers today. If you don't mind, you can stay here for the night."
The fact that the head of the Nangong family has been the head of the family for so many years is naturally not for show. When his son spoke for Shen Qing just now, he knew something was wrong.
Of course he knows his son himself. Nangong Yun has always been pampered and arrogant. He has such a bad temper. If he hadn't seen him really angry this time, why would he have knelt here obediently?
But it is rare for his son to praise someone like this, praise him so much, and call him Shen Qing, Brother Shen.
Thinking about it, it was Nangong Yun who caused trouble outside, and met Shen Qing at the right time to help him, so Nangong Yun was so polite to Shen Qing.
The head of the Nangong family guessed this very easily, and treated Shen Qing as a courtesy. On the one hand, it was naturally because of Nangong Yun, and on the other hand, it was also because of Shen Qing's strength.
When Shen Qing heard what the head of the Nangong family said, his eyes flickered slightly, knowing that he shouldn't act too hastily now.
The head of the Nangong family is still suspicious of him. If he shows that he is eager to enter the Nangong family, the head of the Nangong family will definitely be suspicious.
Therefore, Shen Qing just smiled lightly and agreed: "In that case, I would like to thank the head of the Nangong family."
The head of the Nangong family was quite satisfied with his performance. He nodded and waved to the butler to take him to the guest room.
Shen Qing followed the housekeeper, but before he could walk out of the hall, he saw a rather mature young man rushing towards him.
The young man hurried over, but when he saw the housekeeper and Shen Qing, he stopped, frowned slightly, and asked: "Butler, who is this?"
The young man has a handsome face, with some stubble on his chin. Although his steps are quick, he is still calm and looks quite stable. Because he is worried about something, he frowns and does not smile, which makes him look a little bit aloof.
Very serious.
When the housekeeper saw him, he cupped his hands slightly and answered him: "Back to the eldest young master, this is the person the fifth young master met outside today. He will stay overnight in the mansion today."
Hearing this, the eldest young master nodded, glanced at Shen Qing, and then frowned slightly without speaking to him. He turned to the housekeeper and said, "Take care of the guests." Then he hurriedly left.
Shen Qing didn't say anything and turned around to look.
In the hall, the kneeling Nangong Yun raised his head and said something to the head of the Nangong family. The head of the Nangong family looked a little angry.
After the eldest young master entered the hall, he saluted the head of the Nangong family. The head of the Nangong family looked at his eldest son, but his expression was slightly cold, and then looked at Nangong Yun.
Shen Qing was outside, raising his eyebrows slightly, hiding the interest in his eyes.
This was a bit interesting. According to his understanding, Nangong Yun was not at the fourth level of Tianguang. He said that his eldest brother was at the seventh level of Tianguang. Now it seems that he is the eldest young master.
But why, when the head of the Nangong family saw his son at the seventh level of Tianguang, did he not see the enthusiasm of his son at the fourth level of Tianguang?
There must be some secret in it. Shen Qing curled her lips playfully, turned her gaze back, and followed the housekeeper.
The housekeeper also noticed his gaze, and when he saw him turning back, he smiled and said, "This is the eldest young master of our Nangong Mansion, Nangong Yi."
The housekeeper was polite to Shen Qing, and he had his own thoughts in mind.
Nangong Yun was full of praise for Shen Qing, and the head of the Nangong family did not explicitly refuse to say that Shen Qing could not join the Nangong family. This shows that Shen Qing is likely to become a member of the Nangong family in the future.
For such a strong person in the family, of course the relationship must be well established.
Hearing this, Shen Qing nodded and walked along the garden. He then chatted with the butler for a few innocuous words. He was gentle and polite, which immediately made the butler have a better impression of him.
The butler's favor with him doubled, and he personally sent him to the guest room, arranged everything, and then left.
Shen Qing stood at the door of the house, smiling slightly, thinking in his heart that the head of the Nangong family did not explicitly refuse anything today, and still allowed him to stay, so everything was going well for the time being.
Just look at tomorrow. Tomorrow, the head of the Nangong family should find him, have a chat with him, and then decide whether to keep him here based on the conversation.
Tomorrow, he will of course find a way to get the head of the Nangong family to keep him here.
Beside the door, Shen Qing smiled slightly and watched the butler leave. He planned to close the door, wash up and rest.
He actually wanted to explore the Nangong Mansion, but he was just here for the first time, so he had better not make any noise yet.
Shen Qing was about to close the door, but heard a dull sound of something hitting the ground from over there, and he immediately looked over.
But he saw a girl kneeling in front of the housekeeper, with a bucket in her hand that she knew had been overturned.
Even from such a distance, Shen Qing could see that the girl's body was shaking violently, and she seemed to be extremely afraid of the housekeeper.
Shen Qing frowned slightly and looked at the housekeeper.
The butler's face was gloomy. He was originally in a good mood, but someone poured a basin of water on him and his clothes were soaked through.
The girl was also very frightened. This was originally water for Shen Qing to wash up with, but she didn't expect that as soon as she brought it over, she bumped into the housekeeper at the door and even poured water on him.
She didn't have time to rejoice that the water she brought was warm water instead of hot water, and she was so frightened by the housekeeper that she knelt on the ground.
The butler had a sullen face. His good mood had been ruined by this maid. He shook off his soaked sleeves and took a deep breath.
After all, considering that Shen Qing was still inside, he didn't make any particularly loud noise. He just whispered to the people next to him and said with a sinister look: "Drag her down and serve her well!"
This was not a good thing to say at first sight. Shen Qing looked over and his frown suddenly deepened.
