The second male who guards silently, you can't afford it

There is no good banquet in the banquet, and there is no good meeting in the meeting.

When Murong Jiu hadn't stepped into the Luo's mansion, he saw a servant wearing a lavender gown and two black hair tied with red silk in the courtyard and greeted him with low eyebrows, he had this feeling in his heart.

He looked up at the four powerful gold characters "Fang Yu Liu Xin" on the plaque hanging on the main entrance, and he couldn't help but sigh secretly.

The Luo Family Mansion is completely regarded as a cultural relic and antique. It is said that during the Republic of China, it was rebuilt after moving from the coastal home to escape the war. This ancient building exudes an old and decayed atmosphere from inside to outside Breath, but all this is hidden in the rich floral and sandalwood.

Murong Jiu regained his composure and stepped over the high gate.

Luo Chengjin sat on the chair in the main hall and tasted tea. He closed his eyes and lifted the lid of the bowl to sniff the fragrance of tea lightly. He didn't open his eyes when he heard the sound of someone walking around. He tilted the lid of the bowl to leave only a gap, and with a tilt of his hand, the tea soup was poured in.

Murong Jiu lowered his head slightly and stood five steps away from Luo Chengjin. After about three or four minutes, he heard a "knock". Murong Jiu knew that it was the square table where Luo Chengjin put the tureen on the side.

Luo Chengjin was fond of tea, even though Murong Jiu hadn't met him a few times, he vaguely remembered that during the few visits, his own grandfather sat like this most of the time, enjoying tea comfortably with a tea set in his hand.

"You're here." Luo Chengjin said, "Haven't you been to this old house for almost ten years?"

"Yes." Murong Jiu straightened his head, but still maintained a respectful standing posture: "The last time my mother brought me here."

Murong Jiu's mother, Luo Chengjin's daughter, had already died on the sick bed 15 years ago, so Murong Jiu hadn't been to Luo's house for more than ten years.

For a moment, the silence in the main hall was terrifying.

Murong Jiu didn't know why Luo Chengjin wanted him to visit. If it was just for the birthday of the eldest lady of the Luo family, it should be through Luo Kaiyu, who he was still familiar with, rather than in the name of the Luo family so formally. The next invitation is that Ms. Luo's reputation is not obvious. If it is the birthday of Luo Kaijun, the heir of the Luo family, it is worth the trouble of the Luo family.

The head of the Luo family is Murong Jiu's grandfather, Luo Chengjin, but he retired a long time ago and retired behind the scenes. Now Luo Chengjin's second son, Luo Pingbu, is the active member of the Luo family.

Luo Pingbu really lived up to his name. He achieved the position of governor of a province in less than [-] years. His performance in the past two years has been quite good, and everyone praised him very much. I am afraid that he will move again soon. If Luo Ping moved again, he would have stepped into the highest power circle with half a foot, and his future was immeasurable.

But even if Luo Pingbu has such a high status, he is not the patriarch appointed by Luo Chengjin. The current patriarch of the Luo family is Luo Chengjin's eldest son Luo Pingjing.

Murong Jiu didn't know much about Luo Pingjing. He vaguely heard from his mother that her elder brother was weak and sick, and almost died when he was a child. And this person has never appeared in the circle for so many years. It is said that even Luo Chengjin's [-]th birthday He just sat down for a while and then left, which is really mysterious.

Luo Chengjin has two other children, and they are the mother of Murong Jiu and Luo Pingyan, the youngest child of Luo Chengjin.

If Luo Pingjing is mysterious, Luo Pingyan can be called "non-existent". No one has ever seen him. Some people say that Luo Pingyan died young, and some people say that Luo Pingyan was expelled. The Luo family is gone, and some people even think that there is no such person as Luo Pingyan.

Of course, these are just rumors, as far as Murong Jiu knows, Luo Pingyan has neither passed away nor been evicted, because the person he is going to celebrate this time, Miss Luo Kaihui, is the daughter of his little uncle.

Luo Chengjin has three sons and one daughter, and even adopted a "Yan" son for the youngest son, but his children obviously did not flourish as he expected, and there are only three grandchildren in the Luo family, including Murong. There are barely four grandsons of Jiu, which is obviously too small compared to the other branches of the same clan.

The eldest grandson of the Luo family, Luo Kaijun, is both the heir of the clan and the heir of the family. His status in the Luo family is even higher than that of Luo Pingbu, and he is three or four years older than Murong Jiu.

Murong Jiu's high school classmate Luo Kaiyu is the son of Luo Pingbu, who is the same age as Murong Jiu.

And Luo Kaihui is the daughter of the "non-existent" Luo Pingyan, who just came of age this year.

Murong Jiu would say that Luo Kaihui's coming-of-age ceremony is not worth the Luo family's strife, because Murong Jiu, Hui's cousin, "doesn't exist" like his father.

It's fine for the older generation, but the younger generation like them have basically never seen that they even hire private teachers for education, and never participate in any social gatherings, and Luo Kaihui is such a girl raised in a deep boudoir.

If the Luo family really loved this daughter, they would definitely not treat her like this.

Or there is something else hidden.

Various thoughts flashed through Murong Jiu's mind, but it was only for a moment.

"Since you're here, go and see your brothers and sisters." Luo Chengjin, who had been closing his eyes for a while, said, and Murong Jiu noticed that his expression, which could be called energetic, suddenly became a little gloomy. .

Murong Jiu felt a little sorry.

It is unwise to mention to an old man his daughter who died young.

Thinking of this, Murong Jiu took another two steps forward, and said in a low voice, "Grandfather, this is a wish from this junior." He took out a golden gift box from the paper gift bag he had been carrying, and held the bow in both hands. The waist was placed in front of Luo Chengjin.

Before the gift box was taken out, Luo Chengjin moved his nose slightly and opened his eyes. He took the beautifully crafted gift box from Murong Jiu with a little surprise, placed it on the table and opened it layer by layer.

A wooden tea pot the size of a palm appeared in front of Luo Cheng's eyes. He opened the tea pot carefully, and there was a more fragrant and richer tea fragrance than before. A small bag of tea.

The tea pot is already extremely small, and Luo Chengjin weighed it with his hands and estimated that this bag of tea leaves might not be worth one or two ounces.

"The color is black, it looks like a dragon cord, and it smells mellow and fragrant." Luo Chengjin said slowly, "But Wuyi Dahongpao?"

"Grandfather's guess is correct." Murong Jiu lowered his eyes and nodded: "This is the Dahongpao that has been hidden in the family for a long time, and the younger generation got it a few years ago."

Luo Chengjin became more and more surprised, he looked at Murong Jiu and slightly raised his voice: "But it's from the mother tree?"

"Exactly." Murong Jiu said: "The mother trees in Jiulongke have ceased production, and these one or two happened to be produced three years before the suspension of production, and they went to the auction house."

Dahongpao in Wuyi Mountain is known as the king of tea, and the annual output is very small. It is true that the so-called rare and rare is placed on Dahongpao. Among them, the Dahongpao produced on the six mother trees growing on the stone wall of Nine Dragons in Tianxinyan, Wuyishan It is the most expensive, and the annual mass production is only six or seven taels. In addition, it has been discontinued for many years, so it can be said that this "generation of Dahongpao" is gone.

After Murong Yi died, Murong Jiu took charge of the family business. He originally wanted the Luo family to pay a visit to his grandfather whom he hadn't seen for a long time. Hearing that his grandfather was addicted to tea, he tried his best to collect it from those who won the big red robe. One tael of Dahongpao intends to honor the elders, who knows that the first time he came to the door, he was shut down, not even considered "being left out", and when he came again, he only saw Luo Kaiyu, and Murong Jiu let this thought go Come down, so this top-quality tea was left at home and never saw outsiders again.

This time Luo Chengjin suddenly came to the cemetery to pay tribute to Murong Jiu's mother, casually said "Come and sit if you are free", and sent an invitation to Murong's house the next day, although it was really weird, But Murong Jiu still thought for a while and took out the big red robe.

Shao Qihan who took out the tea pot with him last night said coolly at the side: "You are willing to give up such a good tea."

"After all, I only have relatives from the Luo family." That's how Murong Jiu answered Shao Qihan at that time.

After all, it is my grandfather who is connected with my blood. It is inappropriate for me to fail to be filial for many years. Is it possible to make the elderly happy?

"Although it's old tea, it's still very good." Murong Jiu said, "Grandfather, don't dislike it."

"You are too modest," Luo Chengjin shook his head: "This mother tree, Dahongpao, is mine. Over the years, the total is only a few taels. I have been drinking a few taels for decades."

"That's my grandfather who is well versed in tea ceremony," Murong Jiu was amazed at the amount of red robes in the Luo family, but also remembered that with Luo Chengjin's status, he could get this kind of national tea every year in the early years.

Similar to this kind of rare and rare national tea, national wine and national tobacco, basically they will not be sold to the outside world, and they are often used for special / supply, and only a very small part can flow to the auction house, attracting rich people to donate their pockets one after another .

Even though he thought so, Murong Jiu didn't stop talking, he smiled slightly and said: "If someone else got this tea, it's just a cow chewing peonies."

Luo Chengjin was obviously very comfortable being complimented, and his old but majestic face gradually showed a kindness at this time, he waved his hand and said: "I will accept your kindness, you go, don't get out of the way Jun and the others are waiting anxiously."

"Yes." Murong Jiu bowed again, and walked back to the main hall before turning around and leaving. Before turning around, he glanced at Luo Chengjin, and saw the old man sniffing the tea pot again, closing his eyes and meditating contentedly.

It wasn't until this time that the big rock hanging in Murong Jiu's heart really fell down. He walked on the corridor and took a deep breath, only then did he realize that his back was covered in cold sweat.

Even if this person who has been in power for many years has retired now, his aura is still the same as before. When Murong Jiu saw him alone, he still felt a little uneasy.

Looking at it now, my grandfather's impression of me is not bad, and this is just how the elders treat the younger generation. It seems that I am being supercilious.

Murong Jiu thought silently in his heart, he heard voices coming from the side hall not far away, and exhaled another foul breath.

The next thing is to meet the cousins ​​of the Luo family who are of the same generation as him.

Murong Jiu put on a gentle smile again, and was about to enter the side hall when she heard a loud and playful voice shouting: "Huh? Finally here, are you my future brother-in-law?"

Murong Jiu's smile froze on his face, and his heart sank.

Sure enough, what should come has come.

The author has something to say: I originally made a regular update, but a friend knocked on me in the afternoon and said there was no update.

Surprised, Pomegranate found a computer to check, only to find that the phone was pumped again, and the backend could not be refreshed.

I just found out, so I rushed to update immediately, I'm really sorry for being so late ＿(:з"∠)＿
