After the Republic of China

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

Mr. Shao could understand his eagerness to help, so he said gently, "There's nothing else going on down here. It's New Year's Eve, and you won't be able to leave the city right now, which will make you tired."

How could Luo Congbai dare to answer these words, he hurriedly said: "How can this be called suffering, the old man is serious."

Mr. Shao had clearly arranged everything, he didn't say any more polite words, and said directly: "How about this, you go to Huai Garden first, and I'm afraid Bu Yi and a few have already had their dinner."

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

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

The old housekeeper Zhang is familiar with everyone in the Luo family because he went to the Zhang family in Hewan, and he also got along well with Luo Congbai's father.

Seeing that he was wearing thin clothes, Old Butler Zhang thought that maybe he took them off during the fight, and hurriedly said with concern: "Cong Bai, I still have a robe here, wait a minute, I'll get it for you."

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

He knew that Steward Zhang cared about him, and he was grateful. He smiled and waved his hands: "No need, I'm not afraid of the cold. You go in, I'm leaving."

Old Butler Zhang saw that he was firm in what he said, and knew that he was a Lianjiazi, so he didn't worry about it. He nodded and told him to go away.

Shao's house was powered on everywhere, and there were street lights on the roads leading to each courtyard.

However, today is special, except for the Xifutang, only weak lights are lit in other places.Therefore, the road is still not very easy to walk.

Luo Congbai was grateful for the kindness of the old man, smiled and responded, and walked away with long legs.

However, although he was going out, he swept the entire yard, convinced that the place had experienced battles and the culprits had been expelled, so he left with peace of mind.

The old housekeeper Zhang outside the door didn't pay attention to his expression and actions, and only retreated into the hall after his tall figure completely merged into the night.

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

Seeing him walk in with his back bent slightly, Mr. Shao glanced at him with a smile, and said, "That kid is gone? Let me tell you, you really care about this kid."

The old housekeeper Zhang knew that the old man was just talking about it, but in fact, he himself also cares about Young Master Luo.

Then, he stepped forward and said, "Well, let's go. Speaking of which, Young Master Luo is also your student of the old man. It is thanks to the old man's cultivation that he is so successful now."

What kind of talk is this? Mr. Shao glared angrily, and with a proud old man on his face, he said: "How can he be considered my student at the level of his ideas? If he talks about it, I don't want my old face anymore." .”

These words were humorous. After finishing speaking, the old man couldn't hold back his joy.

In the dimly lit hall, it was originally a bit bleak.

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

The old housekeeper 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 this Young Master Luo also read it for a while?"

"He didn't come here to study, he was simply suppressed by a little bully." Mr. Shao smiled, and said again: "Ji Yuan's knowledge is not low, how can he not teach a kid well, what the student said, Don't mention it again in the future."

Seeing the old man's cold face that had been tense for a whole day, he finally smiled at this moment, Mr. Zhang secretly let out a sigh, and quickly echoed: "Yes, don't mention it, don't mention it, if people know that Boy Luo is your student , I have to make that kid proud."

This made the joke even more ridiculous. Mr. Shao laughed a few times, and said, "You, that kid has such powerful masters and uncles, why does he need me to give him money. That's fine, let's not mention this. "

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

Seeing that the old man was no longer tired, Zhang Lao steward then worriedly talked about the business, "Master, can what Master Luo said be accurate?"

When this matter was mentioned, Mr. Shao was silent for a while, then nodded and said: "This child has a very human nature, and his future leaps and bounds are immeasurable!"

Old Butler Zhang was also a person who watched Luo Congbai grow up. Hearing what he said, he knew that the old man believed in Young Master Luo's words.

Then, he frowned and said, "Young Master Luo is indeed very good, but his path is a bit off."

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

What he said made old butler Zhang stunned.However, he has served the old man for many years, so he knew that there were some things that he couldn't think about, so he skipped them.

Mr. Shao glanced at the old man with satisfaction, sticking his cane, and said: "Okay, I have already asked about this matter, let's go to Xifutang as soon as possible, there are still a lot of important things to discuss over there."

Butler Zhang quickly helped the old man up.

The two old men went to the Happy Hall together, their backs were much stiffer than when they came.

At night, Shao's house, after the rectification, was still lit up, with the atmosphere it should have on New Year's Eve.

The same is true for Huaiyuan.

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

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

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

Luo Congbai grimaced, hissed, and listened for a while, then suppressed his voice and said: "It's from the outer courtyard, Uncle Bu, your people really searched the Huaiyuan Garden?"

Luo Congbai asked Huaiyuan if he had searched all over, not because he suspected anyone, but because he was habitually cautious.

However, if someone else said this, Bu Yi would definitely lose his face, but this question came from Luo Congbai's mouth, and Bu Yi couldn't ignore it.

Because, today he has seen how powerful Young Master Luo is.

Who are the Three Heroes of Jiangbei? They are hard bones who have been famous in the Jianghu for many years, but they were handled so easily by Young Master Luo.It can be seen that Master Luo is not a simple character.

So, as soon as Luo Congbai finished asking, Bu Yi hurriedly asked, "Is there any problem?"

The two were talking, and they had already stood in the brightly lit porch.

As soon as we got to the corridor, the field of vision opened up.

With his excellent eyesight, Luo Congbai was able to see clearly the inside and outside of the backyard of the locust tree by the red lanterns on the locust tree.

Luo Congbai, who easily jumped onto Shiji, looked around, frowned and said: "Listen, it's about this time, why is there such a mess outside?"

The New Year's Eve vigil is an old practice, and the Shao family naturally has this practice as well.

What's more, this year, the old man summoned everyone to Xifutang.

At this time, it was not past zero, and no one should be hurrying outside.

Bu spends New Year's Eve at Shao's house every year, and said clearly: "It's probably because our young lady has come back. There were times like this in previous years, when young ladies and young masters were so sleepy that they couldn't hold on, the old man told them to go back to their rooms first."

"No, if Menggu came back, the footsteps shouldn't be so chaotic." Luo Congbai had already jumped out while speaking, and he said in the air, "It's broken, something must have happened."
