"Jing Yao, Grandpa Zhu wants us to be guests at home, is it convenient for you here?" Lin Kun didn't hang up the phone, covered the microphone, and said to Chu Jingyao with a smile.

"Grandpa Zhu?"

Chu Jingyao's expression on her face was slightly surprised, and she immediately smiled and said, "Convenient." ”

Lin Kun smiled into the phone and said, "Grandpa Zhu, then we'll go over in a while." ”

Lin Kun hung up the phone and looked at Chu Jingyao, Chu Jingyao smiled and said, "It's convenient to bring the snow, right?"

Qin Xue was slightly stunned and said, "Jing Yao, I'm not going, your family is going, what am I going to do." ”

Chu Jingyao smiled and said, "Xue, Yanjing Zhu family, I have to go and see it." As he spoke, he glanced at Qin Xue again, Qin Xue seemed to understand whether she understood or not, but she no longer objected.

Lin Kun smiled and said, "This shouldn't be anything, Grandpa Zhu won't mind." ”

Qin Xue smiled and said, "Then do I need to prepare any gifts?"

Lin Kun smiled and said, "No need, let's just go have a meal." Grandpa Zhu likes precious calligraphy and paintings, and likes rare antiques, where are we going. ”

Cheng Cheng tilted his little head and said curiously, "Dad, who is Grandpa Zhu, do I know him?"

Lin Kun smiled and said, "Do you still remember that kind old man when your uncle Chunsheng got married?"

Cheng Cheng thought for a moment and said, "Remember, the old man's eyebrows are very long, like an immortal grandfather." ”

Lin Kun smiled and said, "That's called kindness, but it's not allowed to talk nonsense." ”

Cheng Cheng sighed, and the little guy said curiously: "Is there anything interesting about Grandpa Zhu's house?"

Lin Kun said with a smile: "Grandpa Zhu's house, Grandpa Zhu's house is big, and there are all kinds of fun, but today is the first time I go to Grandpa Zhu's house, Chengcheng must be well-behaved." ”

"Got it, Dad!" Cheng Cheng said, blinking his little eyes.

The jeep's license plate has been specially recorded, and Lin Kun has the identity of the No. 7 agent of the Special Operations Department of the National Security Bureau, so there is no difficulty in entering Zhongnanhai.

In the courtyard of the Zhu family, Zhu Lao is still the same as usual, taking advantage of the warm sun, lying on a rattan chair basking in the sun, with tiger skin under his body, mink skin on his legs, and an auspicious parrot that he often teases hanging on the tree pole next to him.

Externally, Mr. Zhu likes to pretend that he is greedy for this high power, most people don't understand, and they really think that this old man likes the feeling of being powerful, but the real idea in the old man's heart is that he has not found a suitable candidate.

The eldest son, Zhu Kunhang, is also over 60 years old this year, and his management ability is very sufficient, but it is a pity that he is narrow-minded and smaller.

The third son, Zhu Kunbao, is bold and righteous, but when he thinks about it, he always owes so much heat, and it doesn't matter if he owes fire for small things, but if it is a major event related to the development of the family, a little owe this point of fire, it is very likely that the family will go downhill all of a sudden, as the old saying goes: Accompanying the king is like accompanying the tiger, walking on thin ice, the development of the Zhu family has been at the peak of the Chinese family, and the decision-making is not careful if there is a little carelessness, the consequences are unpredictable.

The fourth son, Zhu Kunpeng, is the son who gives Zhu Lao the most headache, lacks ability, is quite ambitious, likes to take risks in everything, and likes to be close to the eldest brother, but he is often used as a gun by the eldest brother, and Zhu Lao does not want to see the intrigue between his brothers, but this blind use, Zhu Lao also feels sad from the heart.

The fifth son, Zhu Kundong, this is Zhu Lao's favorite son at present, with average ability, no ambition, a natural good temper, and a good heart when he is young, but he usually likes to put on a show in front of outsiders, but he is absolutely innocent.

The old housekeeper waited beside Zhu Lao, sitting on a small round stool, a teapot was placed on the small stone table in front of him, and a bonfire was raised next to it, which was specially used to make tea, Zhu Lao loved tea, the tea ceremony paid attention to a superb, a pot of good tea was brewed, in addition to the tea and utensils should be excellent, this heat was also crucial, ordinary boiling water with an electric kettle to make tea, you can use this bonfire to boil water to make tea or boil tea, the impact on tea ordinary people may not feel, but like Zhu Lao, an old tea bone who tastes tea and drinks tea all year round, it can be felt at once。

"Old Zhu, what's wrong with you today, you suddenly want to see that child?" said the old housekeeper with a smile, his voice was very soft, firstly, he was afraid of arguing with Old Zhu, who closed his eyes and recuperated, and secondly, he was also afraid that the partition wall would have ears.

"Xiao Guan, what do you think of the girl surnamed Chu?" said Zhu Lao with his eyes closed.

The old butler smiled and said, "Pretty, dignified, and a kind girl." ”

Zhu Laoxi closed his eyes and said with a smile: "You old boy, is it that Chu Xiangguo in the Northeast has given you any benefits, you are about to praise the girl for perfection." ”

The old butler smiled and said, "How can I be so easily bribed as the grand butler of the Zhu family." ”

Zhu Lao closed his eyes and said with a smile: "You old boy, you will also make sycophants." ”

The old housekeeper smiled and said, "Old Zhu, what do you mean by asking me that just now?"

Zhu Lao opened his eyes, the old housekeeper got up and went over to help him, Zhu Lao sat up straight, and said, "Xiao Guan, if it were you, the girl of the Song family and the girl of the Chu family would be placed together, which one would you choose?"

"This ......"

The old housekeeper blushed a little and said with a smile: "Old Zhu, I'm so old, why are you still making me happy." ”

Zhu Lao smiled and glanced at the old housekeeper who had been with him for decades, "You kid, you can answer honestly if you ask you, if you sit in my place, which one will you choose to let Lin Kun marry?"

The old housekeeper said without hesitation: "Of course it is the girl of the Song family, from the interests of the family, it is of great benefit to the Zhu family to marry the Song family, although our Zhu family does not need to rely on the Song family for anything, but once the two families join forces, they will get benefits for each other, and the benefits will not be small, but ...... Some people are afraid that they will not be able to sleep. ”

Zhu Lao nodded and said, "Then if it were from Lin Kun's point of view, which one would he choose?"

The old butler pondered this time, and finally shook his head, "I don't know about this. ”

Zhu Lao said: "With my current observation and intuition, Lin Kun will still choose Miss Chu." ”

The old housekeeper's expression moved slightly, and he said, "Old Zhu, what do you mean?"

Zhu Lao laughed and said, "If the girl of the Chu family is still a yellow flower girl, I may consider letting Lin Kun marry her, but she is already the mother of the child." ”

The old housekeeper was quite puzzled and said, "Elder Zhu, then why did you invite their mother and son here today?"

Zhu Lao smiled and said: "Xiaoguan, have you found a problem, Chengcheng's little guy's facial features are somewhat similar to Lin Kun, in addition, I also investigated with Zhou Weiguo, and also communicated with Xiaohu in Mobei, Lin Kun went to Zhonggang City five years ago, and the young lady of the Chu family was Chengcheng that year." ”

The old housekeeper frowned and thought for a while, and said, "Old Zhu, when you say this, it seems that this kid is really a little similar to Young Master Lin, so what do you mean?"

Zhu Lao smiled and said: "It's very simple, I've been thinking about this matter for a long time, and I've been thinking about it recently, the old man of the Song family always puts pressure on me, and I don't want to procrastinate anymore, I want to completely break off the concerns in my heart before making a decision, so it's also open." ”

The old housekeeper frowned slightly, smiled knowingly at the corner of his mouth, and said, "Old Zhu, I understand, don't worry about this matter, I will handle it for you." ”

Zhu Lao smiled with satisfaction and said, "After following me for so many years, you know me with your mouth, hey, think about the children I raised, which one of them knows me like you." ”

As he spoke, Zhu Lao turned his head again, looked at the old housekeeper and said, "Xiao Guan, remember not to leak the news, you must do it without knowing it, and the result is only you and I know." ”

The old housekeeper smiled and promised, "Old Zhu, aren't you at ease with my errands?"

Zhu Lao smiled and said, "Don't worry, but you must make sure that nothing goes wrong." ”

Lao Guan nodded in agreement, and then frowned slightly, Zhu Lao saw his appearance and asked, "Xiao Guan, why do you have such an expression?"

The old housekeeper said, "Old Zhu, have you thought about the result?"

Zhu Lao smiled and said: "Of course I have thought about it, if this baby is really Lin Kun's, then I won't get involved with their young people, it's a big deal that the old man of the Song family scolds me every day, or squeezes us in the family industry, and he can't afford to turn over the big storms, if the girl of the Song family has the wrist and captures Lin Kun's heart, it can only be that the girl of the Chu family is not as smart as her, but the child should be the seed of the Zhu family, and this can't run away! If the baby is not Lin Kun's, it will be simpler, and the next year will be directly engaged, and I will get married." ”

The old housekeeper said: "Then if this is the case, isn't it unfair to the girl of the Chu family or the girl of the Song family?"

Zhu Lao laughed and said, "According to your thoughts, is it better to marry these two girls?"

The old housekeeper grinned, a serious and dignified round-faced old man in front of others in the past, simple.

Zhu Lao smiled and said: "If this kid Lin Kun really has this ability, I don't mind, even if his wife and concubine are fulfilled, I don't care, but the key is that this kid can have this ability? But then again, if this kid really does this, it will be a crime of bigamy!"

The old housekeeper smiled and said: "It's not important to be bigamy, the strength of the Zhu family is so great, three wives and four concubines ......."

Before he finished speaking, Zhu Lao interrupted with a smile and said: "You old boy, what do you have in your head, the four major families of Yanjing, which one of the three wives and four concubines do you dare to be upright? ”

The old butler said again and again, "It's that I think it's too simple." ”

Here, Zhu Lao and the old housekeeper were chatting, Lin Kun's jeep had stopped at the gate of the Zhu family, the old housekeeper stayed to make tea for Zhu Lao to chat and relieve boredom, so he ordered other housekeepers to meet and lead the way in advance, the first time he entered Zhongnanhai, the first time he came to the legendary Zhu family, Chu Jingyao and Qin Xue had a little nervous expressions on their faces, but Cheng Cheng didn't think it was any better, the little guy was full of curiosity, and walked into the Zhu family's compound to look east and west, there are rockeries, artificial lakes, architectural landscapes of various shapes, and you can also see peacocks, Magpies and other auspicious birds, the ancient mansion pays attention to three in and three out, and the courtyard of the Zhu family is eight in and eight out, which is a lot more generous than the big mansion with three in and three out, in the Yanjing Imperial City, in addition to the three major families of Zhu, Song and Peng, who dare to build this big mansion with eight in and eight out, others really don't dare.

As for the Mao family, which is at the top of the family's peak, it is a big mansion with nine entrances and nine exits!

"Several, this way, please!" The butler, who was over half a hundred years old, led the way in front, respectfully, which made Lin Kun, Chu Jingyao and the others feel very unhappy in their hearts.

At this time, passing by in front of a house, a half-aged with a graceful temperament was sitting in the house, but when she saw Lin Kun and others passing by in front of the door, she smiled coldly at the corner of her mouth......
