"Chief Zhou is really polite, we were still hairy boys when the chief was dominant!" Jian Zhanmo stood up and said politely.

Zhou Xinwu laughed, nodded and said:

"If someone else says it, it's hard to refuse, but you're obviously humble! Since you are here, you will linger here for a few days, and let me, the host, take you to enjoy the scenery of your hometown! ”

"Then bother!"

As soon as Zhou Xinwu raised his hand, he immediately asked people to clean out the room and place them.

The scenery of the field is really charming, the quaint wall tiles, the yard is clean and elegant, and it is extremely comfortable to stay in it, but not only outside the door, but even inside the house is guarded by soldiers from time to time, as if there is a sense of oppression in the barracks.

Lin Jingjing pushed open the window and whispered: "Did you say that he offended a lot of people before, so even if he returns to his hometown now, he is a soldier!" ”

"In today's world, if you have soldiers and guns in your hands, you can run rampant like crabs, and even if they retreat into the wilderness, they still don't forget their previous power."

Lin Jingjing pursed his mouth, picked up an ancient inkstone on the table next to him and looked at it carefully, and found that even the ancient inkstone was not ordinary, but very exquisite.

The furnishings in the living room are all exquisite, and Lin Jingjing said indifferently: "He is really wealthy, and random little things can be reflected!" "But how do we speak?" ”

When they met for the first time, it was difficult for them to ask for the three beads in his hand, and after they were ready, they took the opportunity to act, and Zhou Xinwu also seemed enthusiastic, so that they could rest assured.

Since his retreat, very few friends have come to visit him, and he is flattered by the sudden arrival of four or five people, who must stay for a long time, talk with him, and tell him about the outside world.

After resting in the afternoon, several people gathered in the courtyard. Zhou Xinwu had already asked people to move out of the table, on which melon seeds, snacks, fruits and other foods were placed.

Several people sat around the big table, as well as several of his ladies and young ladies and sons, and it was as lively as a big family.

When it gets dark, the lanterns around the yard are lit like daylight, and they are all hanging among the trees, and the children are chasing and making noise in the yard.

The maid and servant followed behind, a ball of chickens and dogs jumping, but it was comfortable and pleasant.

Zhou Xinwu raised his hand, "Little Erzi run slower, beware of wrestling, Niu'er, the guests are here, don't cry anymore!" Zhou Xinwu turned into a kind elder, looking at his children, his eyes shining with fatherly brilliance.

With a satisfied smile on his face, if he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, it would be hard to imagine that the original hero would become an ordinary little old man.

Both of them were stunned, but Zhou Xinwu said embarrassedly:

"After staying in the countryside for a long time, all the fighting spirit has been smoothed out, and now life is just hoping that the children and grandchildren will be happy. Even though it's like this every day, it's still pleasant, come, a toast to your arrival! ”

Lin Jingjing and Jian Zhanmo hurriedly picked up their wine glasses and drank a glass of wine. The bright moon hung overhead, and the moonlight poured down like water, and the body was soaked in cold.

The maid and the servant took Miss Childe away.

Zhou Xinwu drank a few more glasses because he was happy, and he was very interested. Jian Zhanmo and Lin Jingjing glanced at each other, and Jian Zhanmo stepped forward for Zhou Xinwu

He poured a glass of wine, "Actually, we came here today to ask you for something!" ”

"You say, although I have been retired for many years, I also remember the first ten **."

"I heard that you have three beads in your hand, a basket and purple and pink, I wonder if there is anything wrong?"

His face froze, Zhou Xinwu raised his eyes in surprise, thinking about it in his mind, and soon he shook his head: "No, in my eyes, this kind of small bead is not jewelry at all."

Only those big and heavy ones are valuable, and when you saw my tenth concubine just now, she was wearing a heavy gold collar, and no amount of expensive beads could compare to gold. ”

In such turbulent times, gold is indeed hard currency, but it is far-fetched to say that beads are penniless.

Both of them didn't believe it in their hearts, especially Lin Jingjing, even the furniture in the guest room was ingenious, how could the few colorful beads kept by Zhou Xinwu be useless.

"Old man, think about it, if it's because you've been collecting it for too long and haven't remembered it for a while!

"Nope!" Zhou Xinwu said, "Every once in a while, I will look through it and calculate how many years my wealth can be used, but I have never seen the colorful beads you mentioned."

By the way, if these beads are really left here, I will definitely return them in their original form. ”

Then he got up and yawned, and looked at the bright moon above his head regretfully, "This situation should have been a poem, but my body is not angry, and I don't accompany everyone, you guys talk and chat well, haha, I'm so happy today!" ”

When he was taken away, he said half gloomily and half happily.

Looking at his distant back, the four of them suddenly felt that the wine on their lips was bland and tasteless, and they put down their cups one by one, and Sheng Gongzi asked Lin Jingjing if he was wrong.

Lin Jingjing said affirmatively: "How is it possible? There are rumors on the rivers and lakes that in the past, he fought in the north and south outside, and by chance he got three beads, which he regarded as a treasure! ”

"If you want to get something from Zhou Papi's body, it's even more difficult than climbing to the sky." Yurong said with a smile.

"We can't count the sufferings we've suffered on ten fingers, and we don't care about one of them!" Lin Jingjing's expression was cold, and he got up and whispered to them, "This is Zhou Xinwu's excuse, we have to find a way to make him hand it over willingly!" ”

"Why don't we stop doing good deeds after we come, so that his heart will be touched!" Someone suggested to Jian Zhanmo, but it was immediately rejected by everyone.

At this time, it was getting late, beckoning them to rest, and the two walked in the house by moonlight.

When passing by a house, I suddenly heard a voice talking inside, wasn't Zhou Xinwu already drunk just now? But his voice in the room was loud, and there was no drunkenness at all.

They gently poked through the paper window with their fingers, only to see Zhou Xinwu hand over a box to the housekeeper on the side, and at the same time carefully advised:

"I said how could that group of people come to visit me kindly, they have another purpose, the beads are my family heirlooms, they must be kept well, not in the hands of others!"

Then he yawned and walked out.

The two of them immediately ran away quietly, and immediately poked their heads out of the corner to look at his back as he left with his stomach shy.

A trace of disdain flashed in Lin Jingjing's eyes, "Sure enough, it's an old fox, one thing in front of him and one thing behind his back, he is worried that we will be in charge."

The beads were taken away so he lied that he didn't get them, and tomorrow we will expose him again, so that he will be embarrassed! ”

Then Lin Jingjing was in no mood anymore, and said goodbye to Jian Zhan in a hurry.

She and Yurong lived in the same room, and Yurong changed into soft pajamas, and her hair was no longer stunning and dignified, and she became a little woman.

She went to bed early, but Lin Jingjing combed her hair and was stunned, "Jingjing, aren't you sleeping yet?" ”

Lin Jingjing asked Yurong puzzled: "It's strange to say, why does this person like to collect treasures so much, even beads are regarded as treasures, before the beads were scattered everywhere, everyone couldn't do it, but he was never as precious as him, it's ridiculous to think about it!" ”

Yurong looked at this place with disdain, "Jinyi Night Walk, no matter how rich he is, he can't be more than Erer in this poor country!" But he was still puzzled, "Do you know the whereabouts of the beads?" ”

Lin Jingjing stepped forward and told her mysteriously, "It's in the first two rooms!" I just saw Zhou Xinwu hiding the beads! ”

"It turns out that he still has beads, what an old fox, Sheng Gongzi is right!"

"You're getting closer to him now! Speaking of which, when will Sheng Gongzi leave, are he really ready to dig treasure with us into the mountains? Look at his body now, it's enough to choke! Lin Jingjing frowned slightly.

"Don't talk about him, in fact, his body is not well, but he has ambition and self-esteem!" She said seriously.

Lin Jingjing was helpless, "Don't forget that you have a sweetheart, although Sheng Gongzi's face is handsome, but he is not a good person!" ”

"Look at what you said!" Yurong glanced at her, "It's better to go to bed early, and tomorrow it is said that we will go fishing together." ”

said the same, after Lin Jingjing went to bed, he immediately fell asleep in a daze, as if he heard movement on the bed, and it was difficult to take care of it.

Hei Tian slept, but when she woke up, there was no jade face around her, and when she asked the subordinate who came to serve her to wash, the subordinate was puzzled.

"I didn't see Miss when I came, maybe she got up early and went to see the master practicing martial arts!"

"You guys still like to do this?"

"Of course, when you're in a good mood, you can shoot a gun, and the birds will fly with a bang!" Yahuan tied her thick braids, combed the ends of her hair with her slender white fingers as she spoke, opened her big eyes, and had a smile on her dark face.

Lin Jingjing was in a happy mood, and said while washing his face: "Hearing you say this, I want to go and see the style."

After going out, he met Jian Zhanmo.

After the two finished breakfast, they said that it was strange, not only Yurong, but even Sheng Gongzi was nowhere to be seen, but when asked about the guards on the side, they said that no one had left.

It seems that he must be wandering in this huge garden.

It just so happened that they wanted to go around too. I heard that the back garden is comparable to the royal garden, keep going forward, rockery, Taihu Lake stone pile into the rockery strange shape, steep and rugged.

Countless goldfish in the pond are in schools, swimming among the green lotus leaves.

Lin Jingjing sighed again and again: "Although the city outside is good, the beautiful scenery like here is extremely rare!" ”

The clear water and green mountains in the distance, as well as the clear blue sky in the sky, and the white clouds, form a peaceful scene.
