Dongming Ziyu felt that it was inconvenient and uncomfortable to live in someone else's home, so he firmly rejected He Qiang's invitation.

In the end, He Qiang retreated and asked for the next best thing, "Can I invite you to my house for a casual meal? You have to let me express my gratitude, otherwise I will feel very guilty."

Dongming Ziyu originally wanted to get in touch with him, so he immediately said: "Okay, pick a day that is convenient for you and we will visit him."

He Qiang immediately burst into laughter and said, "My benefactor is here. He is free at any time. Just go now."

Shangguan Ruoli: "..."

Yes, this is still a bit impatient.

However, they also have to prepare some gifts for a visit, so it would be rude to do so in a hurry.

So Dongming Ziyu said: "Let's do it tomorrow!"

"Okay! Hahaha! I'll be waiting for my benefactor tomorrow!" After He Qiang finished speaking, he clasped his fists and left.

The chair hasn't warmed up yet, so I came and went in a hurry.

The next day, He Qiang sent eight sedans to pick them up.

Dongming Ziyu and Shangguan Ruoli prepared some moderate gifts and went to visit He Mansion.

Eight strong bearers carried the large sedan, which was gorgeous and stable. It was very comfortable to sit inside. There were also snacks, tea, etc. inside, and everything was well prepared.

Before entering the He Mansion, Shangguan Ruoli felt the grandeur of the He Mansion. Of course, it was incomparable with the original Prince Xuan's Mansion and Yuancheng City Lord's Mansion.

A wide street, paved with large bluestone bricks, leads directly to Hefu.

The entrance of He Mansion is spacious and clean, and there is no second house within a few hundred meters of it.

The eight-open red lacquer door has fist-sized brass door nails shining softly.

There is a pair of tall lions at the door, looking very majestic.

Ling Yu looked at it with round eyes and asked in a sweet voice: "Mother, why are there two stone statues at the door? What are they for?"

In the capital, she had seen stone lions at the entrances of many houses, but she didn't expect to see them here too.

Shangguan Ruoli smiled and said: "This is a lion. It can be used to ward off evil spirits. It also looks very impressive."

"It's indeed very impressive." Ling Yu nodded honestly.

Shangguan Ruoli said with a smile: "You have seen so many magnificent buildings, do you think you are magnificent now?"

Dongming Ziyu came to the rescue for his youngest daughter and said, "She is young and must have forgotten."

Ling Yu said: "I haven't forgotten, it's just that I haven't seen such a big stone lion for a long time."

Compared with her brothers and sisters, Ling Yu has often eaten fruits from Jing Yu's space since she was a child. Her food, intelligence and memory are very good.

He Qiang and the whole family lined up on both sides of the gate to greet them respectfully.

Shangguan Ruoli's lips twitched, this standard is quite high.

Everyone in the He family was also dazzled by the grace of Dongming Ziyu and Shangguan Ruoli. Although they tried to keep a low profile, their natural nobility and the majesty of having been in high positions for a long time were deeply rooted in their bones, and they came out inadvertently.

.

Dongming Ziyu was dressed like a businessman, with long slanted black eyebrows and deep eyes. Although he tried to soften his expression, his face still looked a bit stern.

Shangguan Ruoli was wearing a smoky red jacquard gown and a Hunan skirt embroidered with eight patterns on a green white background. His skin was as white as jade, his eyebrows were picturesque, and his cheeks were smeared with a touch of rouge. He looked as radiant as a girl in her twenties and eighties.

He Qiang's eyes flashed slightly, and he led his servants to greet them politely, and then led them into the house with a smile.

Entering the main courtyard, He Qiang asked the maids to bring out various exquisite snacks and make the best tea to entertain them.

Shangguan Ruoli picked up the tea and took a sip. It was indeed good tea, and the tribute was just that.

Dongming Ziyu also took a sip of tea and asked politely: "Is Mr. He okay?"

He Qiang said: "It's okay, thanks to my two benefactors. If you have any difficulties, you must tell me. I don't have much ability, but I still have some connections among the merchants in Mozhen."

Shangguan Ruoli's eyes flashed slightly. When he knew that the yard where they stayed was rented, he knew that he must have had someone investigate them secretly.

Now, it makes sense to know that they are "businessmen".

Dongming Ziyu said politely: "Okay, if you encounter any trouble, I will come and trouble Mr. He."

At this moment, I suddenly heard an announcement coming from the yard: "Master, the young master is here."

Before He Qiang could say anything, a young man in gorgeous brocade clothes came in like a storm, followed by several servants, looking very arrogant.

The person who came was none other than Mr. He.

As soon as he came in, he squinted his eyes at Ni Dongming, Ziyu and Shangguan Ruoli, as if they were looking at charlatans.

He Qiang's face darkened and he said: "Yu Xi, you're here just in time. I'm about to send someone to call you over to meet your saviors. Come on, come on, this is..."

He was suddenly startled, and then laughed awkwardly, "Look, I'm so confused that I haven't even asked you for your surnames yet."

Dongming Ziyu said: "My surname is Yuan, and my wife's surname is Hua."

The use of the two surnames Yuan Hao and Hua Xiaoyu was already agreed upon, and this surname was also used with the outside world along the way.

He Qiang said: "It was Mr. Yuan and his wife who saved you on Baishan Mountain. They are your saviors. Please kowtow quickly to express your gratitude."

Unexpectedly, Young Master He still looked coldly and shouted: "Dad! Are you confused? Everyone is invited to my house. Who knows what happened to the bugs on my body? Maybe someone put them there intentionally.

, the thief shouted to catch the thief, you brought two suspicious outsiders home and treated them like honored guests, you are really... and you said that I am usually careless, who is so careless? "

He almost called his father an old fool.

He Qiang's face turned red with anger, fearing that Dongming Ziyu and Shangguan Ruoli would be angry.

He scolded Young Master He and said: "You unfilial son, kneel down and admit your mistake! I am not as discerning as a little brat like you? Do you still need to teach me a lesson? Ah? Apologize to my two benefactors!"

He Qiang's eyes widened. If it weren't for the guests, he would have wanted to kick this angry traitor twice.

Young Master He was frightened when he saw that I was really anxious. Although he was usually unreliable and a bit of a bastard, he still had filial piety.

Moreover, he heard the meaning behind his father's words. He had done some investigation.

He Qiang was so angry that his liver ached, and he apologized repeatedly to Dongming Ziyu and Shangguan Ruoli: "My benefactor, there are many of you. Don't be as knowledgeable as a traitor like me. Don't take it to heart. He is just a fool."

Then he glared at Young Master He and said angrily: "Unfilial and rebellious son! Stop whining, hurry up and apologize to your two benefactors!"

Dongming Ziyu was naturally calm, while Shangguan Ruoli seemed to be smiling but not smiling.

Young Master He was scolded so much that he bowed to the two of them in a polite manner, bowed his head to the end, and said, "It's my fault. I couldn't understand the situation and talked nonsense. My two benefactors, please accept my respect!"
