Luo Congbai knew how to advance and retreat, and pleased Mr. Shao very well.

Mr. Shao could understand his eagerness to help, so he said gently: "There's nothing going on down there. It's New Year's Eve, and you can't leave the city right now, so you'll be tired."

How could Luo Congbai dare to accept this and said hurriedly: "How can this be called suffering? The old man made a serious statement."

Mr. Shao had obviously arranged everything. Without any more polite words, he said directly: "Let's go to Huaiyuan first. I'm afraid Bu Yi and the others will already be at the table."

Knowing that the old man must have a lot of things to wrap up, Luo Congbai nodded and retreated.

At the door, he met the old housekeeper Zhang who was guarding the door, and greeted him politely.

Butler Zhang was familiar with everyone in the Luo family because of the Zhang family in Xiahewan, and he also had a good relationship with Luo Congbai's father. Naturally, he had a better impression of Luo Congbai, who he had seen since childhood.

Seeing that he was wearing thin clothes, Butler Zhang thought that he might have taken it off during the fight, and hurriedly said with concern: "Cong Bai, I still have a robe here. Please wait a moment and I will get it for you."

Luo Congbai's clothes were indeed a bit thin, but underneath the fine velvet vest specially made for him by Shao Yunshi, it was still very warm.

He knew that Butler Zhang cared about him and was grateful. He smiled and waved his hands and said, "No need, my body is not afraid of the cold. You can go in, I'm leaving."

Seeing his firmness and knowing that he was a practicing master, Mr. Zhang didn't bother much. He nodded and told him to go on his way.

The Shao family originally had electricity everywhere, and there were street lights on the roads leading to each yard.

However, today is special. Except for the Joy Luck Hall, everything else is only dimly lit. Therefore, it is not easy to walk on the road.

Luo Congbai was grateful for the old man's kindness, responded with a smile, and walked away with his long legs.

However, although the others were walking out, he had scanned the entire yard. He was convinced that the place had experienced a battle and the thieves had been driven away, so he left with peace of mind.

Butler Zhang, who was outside the door, didn't pay attention to his expression or actions. He waited until his tall figure completely blended into the darkness before he retreated into the hall.

Obviously, Mr. Shao inside the house is already waiting for the old housekeeper.

Seeing him walking in with his waist slightly stooped, Mr. Shao glanced at him with a smile and said, "Then the boy is gone? I said, you really care about this boy."

Butler Zhang knew that the old man was just talking about it, but in fact he himself cared less about Master Luo.

Then, he stepped forward and said: "Well, let's go. Speaking of which, Master Luo can be regarded as your student. He is so successful now, thanks to the cultivation of the old man."

What kind of words are these? Mr. Shao glared angrily at the old man with a proud look on his face and said: "With his level of ideas, how can he be considered my student? If you tell me, I won't want him with this old face."

.”

This was a humorous remark, and after saying it, the old man couldn't hold back his joy.

The dimly lit hall was originally a little desolate.

But as the old man's hearty laughter came out, the charcoal basin in the room seemed a little more alive.

Old Butler Zhang was even happier. He said cheerfully: "Why don't you forget it? Our eldest lady was enlightened when she was a child. Didn't Master Luo also read it for a while?"

"I'm not here to study. It's just a little overbearing thing that kept me from my aunt." Mr. Shao smiled and said: "Ji Yuan's knowledge is not low. He can't teach a boy well. As a student,

You must never mention it again in the future."

Seeing that the old man's cold face had been stern all day, he finally smiled. Mr. Zhang took a deep breath and quickly echoed: "Yes, don't mention it, don't mention it, if people know that Mr. Luo is your student

, don’t let that kid get so proud.”

These words were even funnier. Mr. Shao chuckled and said, "You, that kid has such great masters and uncles, why do you need me to give him gold? Okay, let's not mention this anymore.

"

Butler Zhang heated up the atmosphere with just a few words, which shows the depth of his skills.

Seeing that the old man was gone and looking tired, Butler Zhang worriedly talked about the business, "Master, is what Master Luo said accurate?"

When mentioning this matter, Mr. Shao was silent for a while, nodded and said: "This child has a very human nature, and his future success is immeasurable!"

Old Butler Zhang also watched Luo Congbai grow up. After hearing these words, he knew that the old man believed what Master Luo said.

Then, he frowned and said, "Young Master Luo is indeed remarkable, but the path he takes is a bit biased."

"What do you know, alas -" Mr. Shao sighed meaningfully.

His words made Mr. Zhang stunned for a moment. However, he had served the old man for many years and knew that some words should not be asked or thought about deeply, so he ignored them.

Mr. Shao looked at the old man with satisfaction, held his cane, and said, "Okay, I've already asked about this matter. Let's go to the Joy Luck Hall quickly. There are still a lot of things to deal with there."

Butler Zhang quickly helped the old man up.

The old guys went to the Joy Luck Hall together, their backs much stiffer than when they came.

At night, the Shao family's house was lit up as usual after being reorganized, giving it the atmosphere that it should have on New Year's Eve.

The same is true for Huaiyuan.

Luo Congbai, who returned to Sophora Garden, was already sitting in the big study with Bu Yi, drinking tea.

Suddenly, he heard the slightly messy footsteps outside and stood up immediately.

Seeing him like this, Bu hurriedly caught up and asked, "What's going on?"

Luo Congbai had a solemn face, hissed, listened attentively for a while, and then lowered his voice and said, "They are from the outer courtyard, Uncle Bu Yi, have your people really searched the Sophora Garden?"

Luo Congbai asked if Huaiyuan had really been searched. He was not doubting anyone, but was being cautious out of habit.

However, if someone else said this, Bu Yi would definitely fall out, but when these words came from Luo Congbai's mouth, Bu Yi could not ignore them.

Because today he has finally seen how powerful Master Luo is.

Who are the Three Heroes of Jiangbei? They are strong men who have been famous in the world for many years, yet they were defeated so easily by Master Luo. It can be seen that Master Luo is not a simple person either.

Then, as soon as Luo Congbai finished asking, Bu Yi quickly asked: "Is there any problem?"

The two of them were talking, and they had already stood in the brightly lit corridor.

As soon as we arrived at the corridor, our view broadened.

With his excellent eyesight, Luo Congbai could clearly see the inside and outside of the backyard of the locust garden with the red lanterns on the locust trees.

Luo Congbai, who easily jumped onto Shiji, looked around and frowned: "Listen, it's already this time, why is there so much chaos outside?"

It is a traditional practice to keep vigil on New Year's Eve, and the Shao family naturally has this practice as well.

What's more, this year, the old man summoned everyone to the Joy Luck Hall.

At this time, it was not past midnight, and no one should be walking around in a hurry outside.

Bu, who celebrates New Year's Eve at Shao's house every year, said clearly: "It's probably our lady who has come back. There were times like this in previous years when the young lady and young master were too sleepy to hold on, so the old man told them to go back to their rooms first."
