"Yes, all the places where our red sleeves are held are in the painting boat. It seems that Mr. Lin pays very little attention to our red sleeves and doesn't even know about it. I thought he came here specially to attend the appointment.
It seems that I just came here by chance."
Mother Cao raised the corners of her mouth slightly, as if she was proud and angry, which was full of meaning!
"hehe......"
Seeing Mother Cao's alluring look, Lin Xu couldn't help but feel his mouth go dry for a while. He did come here by chance, not specifically for an appointment, so it was hard to explain, so he had to laugh.
Two sounds.
"whee......"
Mother Cao was amused by Lin Xu's embarrassed look and joked: "I didn't realize it before. It turns out that Mr. Cao is still a shy person!"
However, she knew enough was enough. She just made a simple joke and stretched out her hand to signal: "The banquet is ready. Sir, please come with me!"
Under the guidance of Mother Cao, Lin Xu and his party boarded the largest painting boat on the Grand Canal, which is the painting boat used as the main building of Hongxiu Zhao.
Before standing on the shore, Lin Xu had already appreciated the exquisiteness and beauty of this painting boat from its appearance. Now he boarded the painting boat and saw the carved beams and painted beams and exquisite layout inside. He couldn't help but secretly sigh, this painting boat is so beautiful.
!
In the previous life, when Lin Xu was studying for a Ph.D., he once went abroad to attend an academic conference and boarded a luxurious international cruise ship with his tutor.
At this moment, he made a brief comparison between this painting boat and that cruise ship. Although in terms of specifications and technological level, this painting boat cannot be compared with that cruise ship, but in terms of the degree of exquisiteness and the rendering of artistic conception, he felt
This painting boat is much better than that cruise ship!
Not to mention, there are so many gorgeous girls on this boat, who are much prettier than the waiters on that cruise ship!
"Sir, please come in."
Mother Cao introduced Lin Xu into a particularly exquisitely decorated room, where a banquet had been set up and there were two very sweet-looking girls waiting on her.
"Sir, please sit down."
"thanks Mom."
Lin Xu was not polite and sat down in the seat of the guest of honor. Xia Dahai and Zhang Wenchang sat down next to Lin Xu one after another.
After the woman waiting on the side poured them wine, Cao's mother picked up the cup and said: "Welcome Mr. Lin and the two gentlemen to Hongxiuzhao. It is a great honor for the slave family. I would like to offer you a glass of water and wine. The slave family will do it first!"
After saying that, Mother Cao raised her hand and drank a glass of wine generously.
"Thank you, Mother Cao."
Lin Xu picked up the wine glass and drank the wine.
As the captain of Lin Xu's bodyguard, Xia Dahai is responsible for Lin Xu's safety and must stay sober at all times. Naturally, he does not drink alcohol.
Zhang Wenchang did not touch the wine glass: "Sorry, Zhang never drinks, so I had to drink tea instead of wine!"
After saying that, he picked up the tea cup and took a sip.
"This young master looks very familiar. Is he the 'unsuccessful beauty' who often sells calligraphy and paintings on the shore?"
Mother Cao often hangs around here, so she recognized Zhang Wenchang at a glance, and she knew that Zhang Wenchang was a down-and-out scholar, but he was quite talented, but had an arrogant and conceited personality, and not many people could see him in his eyes!
She also heard that there were officials who wanted to recruit Zhang Wenchang as a staff member, and wealthy families who wanted to recruit Zhang Wenchang as their tutor, but he rejected them all!
But now, he was following Lin Xu step by step, like a follower. Could it be that he had been taken under Lin Xu's command? So he asked curiously, with a hint of sarcasm.
Are you angry that Zhang Wenchang just replaced wine with tea?
She knew that Xia Dahai was Lin Xu's bodyguard and had legitimate reasons for not drinking. However, this "unsuccessful beauty" didn't drink either. Could it be that he looked down on their red-sleeved skills?
"Mother Cao has a good eye. I am Zhang Wenchang, the one who failed to be the most beautiful girl in the rankings! Now, I am already a member of Mr. Lin's subordinates! I have heard about the famous people in red sleeves for a long time, and we are neighbors every day. I have long wanted to get your name.
I’ve been able to get a glimpse of the beauty of the Painted Boat, but it’s a pity that I haven’t had the opportunity to see it because of my limited financial resources! Today, thanks to my husband, I finally got to board the Painted Boat and have a look at its prosperity!”
Zhang Wenchang knew what Cao's mother wanted to ask. At first glance, it seemed that being a follower was dishonorable, but he admired Lin Xu's talent and character very much, so he didn't feel like being a follower to Lin Xu.
There was nothing embarrassing about it, so he admitted it openly. This chapter has been completed!
