Xu Yanlin was holding the post in his hand. He always thought it was strange. He looked at Mu Chen, who was wiping his sword. He raised his eyebrows and said, ”is there any conspiracy when you say that old fox Shen GUI invited me to dinner?”
Mu Chen raised his head and looked at Xu Yanlin's post and said, ”where is it?”
”Shen Fu.” He laughed triumphantly.
It's really strange that when they first came to Qingyang, they visited Shen's house at night. Shen's house is heavily guarded and has set up a magic array of Qimen dunjia. It's not easy to see.
”Whether it's a conspiracy or a conspiracy, we must go this time. ”Just take a look at what's weird about Shen Fu.
”So it is.” If you don't go into the tiger's den, you'll get the tiger. Xu Yanlin lies on the soft couch and says with a smile, ”it's said that Shen's eldest lady, Shen Mudan, is a man's favorite. Do you think she'll take a fancy to you?”
Xu Yanlin deliberately mentioned this, but he wanted to make fun of Mu Chen. Who ever thought, he actually said most of the facts.
The sword suddenly came out of its sheath and stuck against his throat. A further step was to seal his throat. He didn't dare to move at once. He said with a smile, ”Hey, it's just a joke. Don't be so serious.”
He held out his two fingers and held the sword body carefully. He was afraid that he would die for fear of a miss.
Mu Chen glared at him and took back his sword, ”when?
”Tomorrow afternoon.” Xu Yanlin touched his neck to make sure it was still there, and then he was relieved. Mu 14 was so cruel that he used his sword when he didn't agree. I don't know if he was a weak scholar.
you are ready. ”Mu Chen looked at his face thoughtfully.
”What are you going to do?” Xu Yanlin felt that there was a big trap in Mu Chen's words. ”Seduce Miss Shen.
………” Xu Yanlin has a kind of sadness of lifting a stone to hit his own foot. ”It's said that Shen GUI dotes on her daughter very much. If you become her favorite, you will get a lot of inside information.”
Xu Yanlin wanted to cry without tears. He had known that Mu Chen would retaliate like this. He just stopped teasing him. Now it's OK. He made himself miserable.
In the early morning of the next day, Shen Fu sent a carriage to the inn to pick up Xu Yanlin. His attitude was flattering, as if Xu Yanlin was a piece of fragrant cake that everyone was fighting for.
Xu Yanlin and Mu Chen followed Butler Chen to Shen's house. After entering the house, they could see carved beams and painted buildings everywhere. The house was as good as the emperor's palace and not much worse than the prince's residence.
They have all seen the palaces of several princes in the capital. Some of them are simple, not as large as here, and not as magnificent as the decorations here. No wonder people outside will say that the Shen family is the local emperor of Qingyang County.
You can see that the Shen family is so rich that he has to do business with him and invite him to dinner? How does Xu Yanlin feel strange?
Mu Chen followed Butler Chen and Xu Yanlin and looked at the mansion without trace. Among the pillars, there were traces of Carving Dragons and Phoenix, which could not be recognized without careful observation.
He wondered, isn't Shen GUI an ordinary businessman? How dare he have the courage to build a house according to the specifications of the prince's residence, or even carve dragons and Phoenix? That's the symbol of the royal family. Isn't he afraid of being killed by nine tribes?
Xu Yanlin seems to have discovered this too. He looks back at Mu Chen and pretends to be very interested and asks, ”what master designed this mansion?
After listening to Xu Yanlin's praise of his house, housekeeper Chen stood up with pride and said with great pride: ”this is designed by my master himself. Everyone who has been to my house will praise it. That means he has lived in such a luxurious place before. Otherwise, he can't design such a luxurious house out of thin air.
In this way, Shen GUI's identity is questionable.
”Master Shen is knowledgeable and talented. I admire him.” Xu Yanlin said with compliments.
They followed Mr. Chen around the winding and exquisite hand copying corridor, elegant pavilions, numerous exquisitely carved flower hanging doors, gardens, gardens, rockeries, beautiful lotus lake, and finally came to an elegant courtyard.
After so many twists and turns, Mu Chen's whole heart has been sinking. The house of Shen Fu is really in trouble.
”Ruyi Zhai is a good name.” Xu Yanlin looked at the plaque on the door of the eye courtyard and turned to Mu Chen and said, ”fourteen, what do you think?
”If the master thinks it's good. ”Mu Chen bowed his head and assumed an attitude of deference to the guard.
Seeing his low brow and pleasing appearance, Xu Yanlin consciously pulled back a game and laughed with great pride.
Steward Chen led them into Ruyi room. Shen GUI had already set up a banquet to wait for them. As soon as they came in, they were warmly welcomed.
”Boss Lin, please have a seat.” Shen GUI asked Xu Yanlin to sit down with a smile.
When there is nothing to be done, it is either treachery or theft. When Xu Yanlin looks at Shen GUI with enthusiasm, he is somewhat cautious.
Mu Chen is the guard and is not allowed to sit in. Shen GUI asks someone to invite him to the flower hall next door to treat him. Knowing that Shen GUI had ulterior motives, Mu Chen and Xu Yanlin did not refuse. Everyone wanted to know what tricks Shen GUI wanted to play?There was no one in the flower hall. Mu Chen sat upright on the carved rosewood chair and tasted the tea carefully.
The taste of this tea is warm and moist. A trace of sweetness is blooming in the throat. The light and elegant fragrance permeates the mouth. Drinking it, you can see that the tea is valuable. The Shen family's clothing, food, housing and transportation are all royal standards. Mu Chen pursed his lips, and his doubts became more and more extensive.
