Chapter 290
The hermit greeted him: Uncle Zheng, sorry for the trouble.
The housekeeper looked at the hermit docilely, and then turned to look at Mu Li standing behind the hermit, who was looking at the surrounding buildings with ecstasy, his old eyes were a little moist.He bowed and said:
Ladies and gentlemen, come with me.
Then he turned around to lead the way, raised his hand without any trace, and wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes.
Under the leadership of the housekeeper, several people entered the side hall first, where the master was waiting.Waiting for Mu Li to step into the side hall, he scanned the situation in the hall.An imposing middle-aged man sat on the main seat, and a noble lady sat on the other side of her.The first guest seat under the man was empty, and the second and third seats were a beautiful woman and a girl who looked no more than thirteen or fourteen years old.
Not far away, there was a woman in a general's uniform, leaning on a cane, carefully appreciating the blue and white porcelain vases on the flower stand.I heard the housekeeper Lao Zheng report:
Assassins have brought you here.
Before the master could respond, the woman in the general's uniform immediately turned her head, raised her cane, and walked quickly towards the door.Laughing while walking:
Hahaha, let me wait!
Immediately, she actually hugged the hermit who was walking in the forefront warmly, and said:
Ah Xin, stay safe!
Chapter 110 Seven
A Xin? Mu Li frowned, is A Xin the name of the hermit?
The woman in front of him, dressed in a general's uniform, was tall and beautiful, she couldn't tell that she was over fifty, but she seemed to be in her early 30s.The temperament is flamboyant but not impetuous, giving people a kind of confidence and calmness at any time and anywhere.Needless to say, she must be the legendary General Luo Jia.However, General Luo Jia called the Hermit A Xin, which made Mu Li amazed. So General Luo Jia and the Hermit had such a good relationship? He even knew the name of the Hermit.But the hermit doesn't seem to be that familiar with Luo Jia, otherwise, she wouldn't have planned to visit General Luo Jia and borrow troops from her in the first place.
The hermit seemed a little helpless towards General Luo Jia's enthusiasm, but she was not surprised, she was deep in thought, and Mu Li couldn't see what she thought about Luo Jia.The mysterious relationship between the two made her a little confused.
After Luo Jia, the middle-aged man sitting in the main seat stood up to greet him, both in his demeanor and tone, which seemed much more polite.
I have come a long way, and I have worked hard.
The hermit smiled back: "Where, Mr. Jiang, it's been a long time."
The guests at the house treated each other so warmly, but the host's family seemed much colder. Should it be said that General Luo Jia turned against the guests, or the Jiang family was too lofty and aloof.But thinking about it, the original hermit took them to visit the Jiang family on the eve of departure, and the purpose was somewhat unclear.Although the visit to General Luo Jia and the Jiang family have been combined into one, it still cannot be said that he is a famous teacher.It's no wonder that the host's family can't treat each other warmly. A bunch of strangers suddenly came to the door. If they don't kick them out, it's considered as good hospitality.
Next, the host introduced each other one by one.General Lorgar's wife is the daughter of the former General of the City of Adventurers, and her name is Grace Arnold.Their daughter's name was Luo Xi, and because General Luo Jia entered the residence of General Arnold at first, her daughter was named Luo Xi Arnold when she was born.But now the surname is directly changed to Luo, and the name has thus been simplified to two characters.The outside world jokingly called this daughter Princess Sissi. Indeed, her status was not much different from that of a real princess.
The head of the Jiang family, named Jiang Sihuan.After all, he was Mo Kexin's cousin, and his relationship with Lan Ni was far away, but he was also considered a distant relative. Lan Ni called him Uncle Jiang, and he seemed very happy.That noble lady is his wife, the daughter of a wealthy local merchant in Liantai.The couple have three children, the eldest daughter, the eldest son and the second son. The eldest daughter and the eldest son have already married and started their own businesses. Only the youngest son, Jiang Chengfeng, is 17 this year and has just served in the military. Because he cannot leave the army easily during his military service, he is not in the mansion now. .
When Mu Li and Jiang Sihuan greeted each other, the head of the Jiang family held her hand tightly, looked carefully at her for a long time, then smiled and said:
Good boy.
Mu Li was baffled, so he could only classify this sentence as polite talk.
At the time they arrived, it was already past lunch time, so the banquet for the Jiang family to receive them was scheduled for the evening.During this period of time, only tea and refreshments were served, and everyone sat in the side hall chatting.Mu Li didn't eat lunch, he was hungry, looked at the refreshments at hand, and found mung bean cakes and bean paste cakes that he liked very much, and suddenly moved his index finger.She picked up a piece of red bean paste cake to eat, and frowned as soon as she took a bite.It wasn't unpalatable, on the contrary, the taste was so familiar, it was exactly the same as the one she remembered when she was a child, exactly.She was so surprised that she almost blurted out and asked who made the red bean paste cake.
She remembered that the pastries and snacks she loved to eat when she was a child were all made by Aunt Pei herself.Who is the pastry chef in the Jiang family's house? She really needs to meet her.
Talking about chatting, in fact, most of the time it is the hermit who is chatting with General Luo Jia and his wife, talking about current affairs, people's livelihood, geography, humanities and history.Jiang Sihuan seldom speaks, very silent.Mu Li noticed that Jiang Sihuan's eyes often fell on her, which made her feel a little uncomfortable.She always felt that the head of the Jiang family had a strange attitude towards her, giving her the illusion that she had known her before.
