No trace of espionage

Chapter 348 Still No Progress
Lin Chuang wandered outside for a while, bought a copy of "A Brief Introduction to the Political History of the Tang Dynasty" by Chen Yinke, and leisurely returned to Zhu's Mansion.

Strange to say, the house was deserted throughout the afternoon, and even Bai Xiaoling, who liked to hit up men and talk to him, never showed a smile again, whenever she saw herself, she would just pass by in a hurry.

Lin Chuang couldn't help wondering, and thought: "What's wrong with this guy? I didn't offend her, did I?"

At night, Zhu Daoshan came back, Zhu Youshan also came back, and the mansion became lively again.

Before dinner, Zhu Youshan took Lin Chuang to the back garden, and the two sat in the pavilion to enjoy the shade while talking about the past and the present.

Zhu Youshan is a 15-year-old boy, but he has his own thoughts, his maturity is not as low as a 15-year-old boy, and he keeps asking Lin Chuang various questions.

Some of these questions are far beyond book knowledge. If it weren't for Lin Chuang's rich knowledge and unique insights, he would really be unable to memorize them.

Gradually, Zhu Youshan was completely convinced by Lin Chuang.He said: "Brother, from my point of view, your talent is as good as my father's. Some ideas are even more novel than his, and you can also directly address the current problems. You are not the slightest bit better than Brother Pang."

Lin Chuangxin said: "Can you not be novel? I know much more than your father."

Lin Chuang had a good impression of Zhu Youshan, and knew that he joined the underground party after Zhu Daoshan's death, but because of his father's disgraceful history, it had a great negative influence on him, and he was busy all his life without making any impressive achievements. .

It is precisely because of this that when Lin Chuang answered his questions, he basically used the viewpoint of historical materialism, hoping to give him some inspiration.

If he joined the underground party early and made some contributions to our party before Zhu Daoshan fell, the situation would be much better after the liberation of the whole country.

Thinking of this, Lin Chuang followed Zhu Youshan's words and asked: "Youshan, why don't you learn history from your father, instead hire a teacher from outside? According to what you said, wouldn't it be more salary?"

"Brother, do you take this joke seriously?" Zhu Youshan said with a smile, "Firstly, he is very busy and has no time to teach me; secondly, I really can't accept some of his views."

Speaking of this, Zhu Youshan looked into the distance with worry in his eyes: "As a son of man, it is not filial to say nothing about your father's faults. But, brother, I think a lot about Chinese history, and the more I think about it, the more painful it is. This pain The reason is that China is in deep suffering. As a Chinese, how to make my own contribution to her strength, I can’t find the answer, and I can’t see the way out. I don’t agree with my father’s point of view. To tell you the truth, my father is Fan Wen Cheng-like characters..."

Speaking of this, Zhu Youshan felt that it would be too much to go on, so he stopped.

"Youshan, I am very pleased that you can say these words. As a good man, in the troubled times of the country, he should take revitalizing China as his own responsibility. Don't worry, not only you, but many people are groping, and they will always find a way. Way. What I told you, you should think about it carefully, maybe it will be useful to you in the future." Lin Chuang said.

"Well, I will. Brother, talking to you, I really feel like the rain after a long drought, and an old acquaintance in a foreign land. I hope I can learn more from you." Zhu Youshan said.

"Don't talk about learning, let's discuss together." Lin Chuang said vaguely.

He knew that he would not stay long, but Zhu Youshan didn't know.

"Master, it's time to eat."

At this moment, Bai Xiaoling came and shouted from a distance.

"Let's go, let's go to eat, we have time to talk in the future." Lin Chuang said.

"Okay." Zhu Youshan responded, and followed Lin Chuang down the pavilion.

Back in the room, as soon as I cleaned my hands, Gao Sanmei came in with a tray.

There are two dishes and a jug of wine, one plate contains pork trotters in red sauce, the other plate contains spicy fried bean sprouts, and a bowl of rice.

"Mr. Lin, eat quickly. I'll clean up after dinner. Don't deliver it yourself, I'll be scolded." Gao Sanmei said.

"Okay, I'll trouble you then." Lin Chuang said.

"Mr. Lin is so kind." Gao Sanmei smiled and left with the tray.

The pig's trotter sauce looks good and smells good. Lin Chuang picked up a little flesh with chopsticks and tasted it. The salty and delicious taste was just right for his own taste.

It seems that Zhou Changhua's cooking skills are really good.

Lin Chuang's appetite was great. He held a pig's trotter in one hand and a wine cup in the other, and ate happily.

Because of drinking, it took a long time to eat. After Bai Xiaoling cleaned up the leftovers in the building, Lin Chuang finished eating the pig's trotters here.

Gao Sanmei came in with a tray, saw Lin Chuang was wiping his mouth, and said with a smile: "Mr. Lin, do you like the pig's trotters in Changhua sauce?"

"It tastes good, it's delicious." After finishing speaking, Lin Chuang stood up and washed his hands with all his hands.

"Miss Gao, please help me to untie the watch." Lin Chuang said.

Gao Sanmei came over as promised, helped Lin Chuang untie his watch strap, and rolled up his sleeves.

Lin Chuang put on soap and washed it three times before completely washing off the oil on his hands.

Sitting back on the sofa, I ate a bowl of rice with bean sprouts and was finally full.

Gao Sanmei waited for him to finish eating before cleaning up.

The next thing was for the servants to eat. Lin Chuang didn't participate any more, but walked slowly in the courtyard to digest food.

Maybe it was because of the unpleasantness at noon, Quan Lin and Ming Hengyi didn't eat in the kitchen, but each took the food and went back to their respective rooms.

Lin Chuang saw that Bai Xiaoling took a jug of wine and sent it to Ming Hengyi's room.

Due to the small number of people in the room, the servants of Zhu's house all have a room for each person.

In the same row as Lin Chuang, from south to north are Quan Lin, Ming Hengyi and Zhong Qinghe.

On the opposite side from south to north are the rooms of Zhou Changhua, Gao Sanmei and Bai Xiaoling.

What surprised Lin Chuang was that Quan Lin and Ming Hengyi left, but Zhong Qinghe stayed in the kitchen to eat.

"It seems that Zhong Qinghe is still worried about Gao Sanmei. Why else would he get involved in those bad things? Isn't it good to hide? I really don't know if this guy is warm-hearted, or he really likes Gao Sanmei?" Lin Chuang Xin Dao.

"Brother!" Lin Chuang was wondering, seeing Yang Xianfen's mother and son coming out of the building, Zhu Youshan called him.

"What's the matter?" Lin Chuang asked.

"Father invited you to the study room and said that he has something to discuss with you." Zhu Youshan said.

"Okay." Lin Chuang agreed,
With a smile on her face, Yang Xianfen nodded to Lin Chuang, and went for a walk in the garden with Zhu Youshan.

Lin Chuang came to the second floor, knocked on the door and entered the study.

"Lin Chuang, how are you? Did you find anything?" Zhu Daoshan asked straight to the point when he saw Lin Chuang.

"Not yet, I'm waiting for my subordinates to investigate. However, there are already key suspects." Lin Chuang said.

Then, he talked about his doubts about Bai Xiaoling and his investigation of Hengtong Antique Store.

"Hurry up, I'm afraid the thieves will move things out." Zhu Daoshan said after listening.

"It's impossible to see now. Thieves can't keep such a valuable thing away from their sight. As long as everyone is there, the treasure is probably there." Lin Chuang said.

"Even if Xiao Ling stole it, don't make too much noise, understand?" Zhu Daoshan ordered.

"Understood." Lin Chuang nodded knowingly.
