Chapter 843: Just Like It
"Two, I don't know if there is a famous post that needs to be handed in by the villain?"
Zeng's porter is very self-contained, but there is no appearance of letting two people in or reporting at all.
There is a big happy event in the house today, and there are many big people, and everyone can't come to report it, and the porter who can screen the porter who should see and should not see and when to see for the master is a good porter.
The last gatekeeper was to let people who shouldn't have gone in, and they were kicked out of the house by their wife.
Li Yi held Zeng Zuimo's hand and said calmly: "You just need to go in and tell Master Zeng that the old people from Yangliu Lane are visiting." ”
He already understands the changes that have happened in the Zeng family for more than ten years, but he is still very clear about the inside story from time to time, Zuimo is unwilling to admit that she is the Zeng family, and he is unwilling to call Zeng Shichun "second uncle", there must be her reasons, and he naturally has to follow her.
The porter smiled and said, "Two, I'm really sorry, my family has important things to do today, why don't you come back another day?" ”
There is no name post, it means that it is not a big person, and the two are so young, and they don't even know their identities, only say what is the old man------ what the old man is, at first glance, I heard that the old man is promoted, and he wants to climb the relationship and go to the door, if it is another day, just in case, he will still go in and pass it on, but today is different, if he sweeps the interest of all the adults, he can not afford a small porter.
Li Yi didn't come to reason with the Zeng family today, and there was no reason to talk about it, the Zeng family would definitely not give him what he wanted, and he must get it, in this case, he would need to rely on other means to solve the problem.
Li Yi looked at the sloppy old man standing not far behind the two.
The sloppy old man covered his face and walked over with a slightly gloomy face.
The gloomy face was not because he was supported by Li Yi, but because one of his teeth was broken, and half of his face was swollen, which naturally caused some emotional fluctuations.
"Miss, is Miss back?"
The sloppy old man did not come over, but suddenly an old voice came from inside the door, and his voice was a little trembling and excited.
When the porter saw this, he immediately bowed down and said respectfully, "Wait for the housekeeper." ”
The old man, who was known as the waiter, ignored him, walked over quickly, looked at Zeng Zuimo with an excited face, and said in a trembling voice: "Thirteen years, thirteen years and nine months, miss, you are ......, you are finally back." ”
Zeng Zuimo looked at him, and sighed lightly for a long time: "Uncle Hou......"
……
"Congratulations to Lord Zeng for his ascension, with the ability of Lord Zeng, his career will be smoother in the future......"
"This official first toasts Lord Zeng!"
"Whatever Lord Liu said, it's still something to catch the wind and shadows......" Zeng Shichun clinked glasses with an acquaintance, and another voice came from the other side.
"This is not chasing the wind, Lord Zeng's appointment letter has been seen, it is estimated that the dynasty will be opened after the Lantern Festival at the latest, the earliest, I am afraid that it will be announced at the time of the court meeting, come, I also salute Lord Zeng with a ......"
After Zeng Shichun touched a glass again, his body was a little shaky, today these people came to the house, he had already drunk a lot before and after, and the amount of alcohol on weekdays could only be regarded as average, and at this moment it was almost at the limit.
A gorgeously dressed woman walked in from outside the door, held his arm, turned her head, and said apologetically: "A few adults, I'm really embarrassed, Lord Cui will hold a banquet in Zuiyue Tower tonight, Lord Qin and Lord Chen will also come over, I'm afraid that I will have to discuss some things at that time, and my master really can't drink anymore......"
"In that case, let's let Master Zeng go and rest quickly, if I miss a big event, I can't afford to wait."
"Yes, yes, let's let Master Zeng rest quickly."
These people also knew what the three surnames Cui, Qin, and Chen represented, and they did not have any obstacles.
"Women's families, don't bother a few adults." The woman looked at the two maids beside her and said, "Why don't you help the old man to rest......
"Yes!"
No sooner had the woman walked out of the hall than a figure hurried up and whispered something in her ear.
When the woman heard this, her brow furrowed instantly.
"Isn't she already denied that she is from the Zeng family, at this time, what kind of trouble is she coming to make trouble......" A trace of disgust appeared on her face, and said: "The master has already rested, let her dry for a while, and when the time comes, just find a reason to send her away......"
The man immediately bowed down and said yes.
"It's just a mourning star, I really think I'm still the eldest lady of the Zeng family......" The woman muttered and left with a calm face.
……
"Since I can remember, some chores at home have been taken care of by Uncle Hou, who treated me very well at that time......
While the two were waiting in a side hall, Zeng Zuimo looked at the old man standing at the door and whispered.
The old man looked at it, and finally walked in, with a smile on his face, looked at Li Yi, and asked, "Miss, ......what is this son?"
"I'm her father-in-law." Li Yi took her hand, looked at the old man, and said with a smile: "When I was drunk, I was taken care of by Uncle Hou......
Zeng Zuimmo's face turned red, but he didn't resist, and his hand held him tighter.
The old man was stunned when he heard this, looked him up and down a few times, and then a smile bloomed on the old man's face again, and said: "It turned out to be my uncle, I really am a talent, and I am a talented woman with a young lady, and I am a good match......
He looked at Li Yi for a while, and only then did a subordinate walk in outside and said, "The master is drunk, now rest in the room, you want to see the master, wait for the master to wake up, or come back tomorrow." ”
"Drunk?" Li Yi shook his head and said: "It seems that Lord Zeng is really in good spirits on happy occasions, he is not in the household yamen at this time, he is actually drinking and having fun at home, he is still Jing Zhaoyin......
The man was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then said angrily: "What are you talking about......"
"Alright, you can go down." The waiter waved his hand to him, and what else did the next person want to say, but after being glared at by him, he could only reluctantly leave.
The housekeeper looked at Li Yi and whispered: "Uncle, this is the Zeng family, be cautious, be cautious......"
"What ...... be cautious, where is Zeng Shichun, I have to ask, he, the household servant, serves the court like this on weekdays?"
Li Yi took a step, but was pulled by Zeng Zuimo's sleeve, she looked at him and shook her head, then turned her head, looked at Steward Hou, and asked, "Uncle Hou, can we take a walk in the mansion?" ”
The old man nodded again and again: "This is the Zeng family, of course you can, but this mansion has changed a lot from before, so let me lead the young lady and uncle." ”
A quarter of an hour later, in front of a certain courtyard in Zeng's house.
Zeng Zuimo stood in front of the courtyard gate and looked at it for a long time before asking, "Uncle Hou, can we go in here?" ”
"Except for the maids who clean regularly, the lord here usually doesn't let people in." The old man hesitated for a moment before saying, "But since it's a young lady, presumably even if the old man knows, he won't blame it." ”
"Thank you, Uncle Hou."
Zeng Zuimo smiled lightly at the old man, stretched out his hand, and the courtyard door opened with a creak.
Li Yi walked in with her, no matter how she looked at it, this was an ordinary courtyard, and there was nothing out of the ordinary.
There are stone tables and chairs in the courtyard, and under a tree against the wall on the left, there is a swing hanging from it.
The tables and chairs were spotless, and she walked over, reaching out and touching, looking around at everything, and finally, under the swing.
"This is where my parents and I used to live." She sat on the swing and said, "And this swing, which my father tied for me with his own hands, once I swung high and fell off it, and my father put the swing away, and I begged for a long time before he agreed......"
"But this swing is not the same as it used to be."
"And here, half of the tiles here are missing, and they are still the same......"
"Look here, this is the name I carved on the tree when I was a child, but unfortunately I can't see it clearly after a long time......"
"Here, this brick can actually be taken down, I hid things in it when I was a child, and my parents didn't know about it......"
She really took down the brick in the corner, in fact, there was only half of it, so there was a small space inside, she took out a yellowed paper bag from it, the paper bag was broken when it was opened, there were some black residues in it, and you could faintly see the faint words "Xu Ji" on the paper bag.
She stood up, clapped her hands, and muttered, "It's exactly the same here as before......
Li Yi held her hand and asked, "Do you like it here?" ”
She nodded slightly and said softly, "When I came here, I remembered a lot of things from before. ”
"If you like it, it's fine." Li Yi nodded, looked around, and muttered, "It's good if you like it......"
