At this time Li Tianyu smiles, going forward then lifts a hand ritual: 萧庭作为淮南萧氏的嫡子,李天戮在这都得躬身相迎,更不用说李天玉这种旁系子弟。此时李天玉满脸笑容,上前便是抬手一礼: „Day jade sees Young Master Xiao, my elder brother has invited Young Master multiple, today Young Master Xiao is willing to accept this invite, really lets my humble home you honor my humble home......” “天玉见过萧公子,家兄邀请公子多次,今天萧公子肯赏脸,实在让寒舍蓬荜生辉……” The Xiao Ting joining hands behind the back folding fan places behind, a conduct of leadership inspection, aware walked in the forefront: 萧庭背着手折扇放在身后,一副领导视察的做派,自觉的就走在了最前面: „My father has shown solicitude for the public sentiment, is all right by chance today, I have a look at the crop of crops......” “家父一直体恤民情,恰巧今天没事,我过来看看庄稼的收成……” „......” “……” Walks Zhu Manzhi that with Xu Buling shoulder to shoulder follows, hearing this stares the big eye, looked at the snow in big flakes of sky. 和许不令并肩行走跟着进去的祝满枝,闻言瞪大眼睛,看了看天空的鹅毛大雪。 The big winter comes to see the crop? 大冬天来看收成？ If this can look damn. 这要是能看出来就见鬼了。 Xu Buling is unalarmed by strange sights actually, after all ‚four bodies is not industrious by Xiao Ting this, the grain does not divide’ the social position, autumn cannot see anything in the same old way. 许不令倒是见怪不怪,毕竟以萧庭这‘四体不勤,五谷不分’的社会地位,秋天来照样看不出什么。 Li Tianyu and manager hear this saying, on the face not to reveal slightly awkwardly, allow nature to take its course then saying: 李天玉和管事听见这话,脸上没露出丝毫尴尬,顺其自然便接话道: „Young Master Xiao really had a mind, then loves the people young such as, in the future will enter the palace to be appointed prime minister, my Great Yue people will then have the luck......” “萧公子实在有心了,年纪轻轻便爱民如子,未来入朝拜相,我大玥子民便有福啦……” „Overpraised......, good that this Zhuangzi cultivated/repaired, said that Li general is the Confucian, now looks like says not empty...... ” “过奖……嗯,这庄子修的不错,都说李将军是儒将,如今看来所言不虚……。” „Where where......” “哪里哪里……” ...... …… The flower sedan chair person carries the person, flattered mutually, Li Tianyu led Xiao Ting to go to Zhuangzi. 花花轿子人抬人,互相吹捧之间,李天玉领着萧庭前往了庄子内部。 Xu Buling pulls the carriage, a Zhu Manzhi young earth little girl is dressing up, was naturally regarded the cart driver and maidservant, arrives at half, following manager then polite referred to the place of Zhuangzi parking carriage, hints the servant to go to that side to wait. 许不令牵着马车,祝满枝一副小土妞打扮,自然是被当成了车夫和丫鬟,走到一半,后面的管事便客气的指了庄子里停放马车的地方,示意下人去那边等待。 The Xu Buling nature brings Zhu Manzhi on taking advantage of opportunity, was separated from the team. 许不令自然就顺势带着祝满枝,脱离了队伍。 Zhu Manzhi moves toward with Xu Buling, the leaning head looks at increasingly estranged Xiao Ting: „Young Master Xu, just now I see that surnamed Li signals with the eyes to the manager, probably is not quite right, can Young Master Xiao have the danger?” 祝满枝随着许不令走向马舍,偏头看着渐行渐远的萧庭:“许公子,方才我见那个姓李的给管事使眼色,好像不太对劲,萧公子会不会有危险？” Xu Buling tied up horse on the hitching post, shook the head to smile under: „Li Family, if dares to kill Huainan Xiao Clan son of first wife, entire family must follow to be buried along with the dead, safe.” 许不令把马拴在了马桩上,摇头笑了下:“李家要是敢弄死淮南萧氏的嫡子,全家都得跟着陪葬,安全的很。” Zhu Manzhi nods, the marketplace was born, naturally did not know about the rich and powerful aristocratic family matter, somewhat curious inquiry: 祝满枝点了点头,市井出生,对门阀世家的事情自然不了解,有些好奇的询问: „Often heard ‚Xiao, Lu, Cui, Wang, Li’, Xiao Family fierce?” “常听人说‘萧陆崔王李’,萧家有多厉害？” Xu Buling thinks: „Great Qi occupies the Central Plain 300 years, the prime minister more than 200 people, more than 30 surnamed Xiao, remaining half were divided by other four, to me toward is also the similar situation, did you say fiercely?” 许不令想了想:“大齐占据中原三百年,宰相两百余人,三十多个姓萧,剩下半数被其他四家分了,到了我朝也是差不多的情况,你说有多厉害？” „Xiao Family is so fierce, why will give birth to such silly son?” “萧家这么厉害,为什么会生出这么傻个儿子？” „......
