Chapter 52
"Old sir, it's really not possible. My master doesn't see outsiders." Wen Zhezhi was wearing a black long skirt, looking like an old Western housekeeper. She answered the questions slowly and even though she had refused seven or eight times, her tone was still gentle.
After Lao Zhao asked Lao Yang about the matter that day, he did not rush to visit. The other party was renovating at that time, so how could he be so inconsiderate?
In the past two days, he has carefully asked his daughter-in-law about his brother's condition. They have indeed given up treatment because they have no idea about the cause of the disease. Now they only give nutritional injections every day to maintain basic treatment, which is also care treatment.
The family was in a state of gloom. Of course, they had prayed to the gods and Buddhas, but to no avail. Lao Zhao told his in-laws about the situation, but they had no reaction and no hope for the solution. This was Lao Zhao's good intentions. Besides, things had come to this point, so he was willing to give it a try, no matter how unreliable it was.
"I have come here because of your reputation and sincerely beg for help. There is really no other way. Please lend a helping hand." Old Zhao told his in-laws about what happened here. They even went to Ms. Hua to inquire about the news. Holding on to the last hope, they made all the necessary preparations. Two of Old Zhao's in-laws came in person.
How could he not be anxious when this was his own son? Old Zhao took this matter to heart and helped them find a way out. It was impossible for him to let others come and ask for help because of his own status. The positions they held before retirement were quite important, but no matter how big the position was, it was not much different from that of ordinary people.
Their son is lying in bed, getting weaker day by day, and they just don't want to see their son die young.
What made them feel even more different was that it was a different era, and the person who came out to open the door for them was a tall and gentle beauty. Her every move had the charm of an ancient person, and the "master" in her language surprised the five people who came.
What era is this? There are still such feudal titles, and it seems that people are willing to be called like this. This makes them think that he may really be a very powerful and capable person, but it also makes them feel that it is not good. After all, in this era, masters and servants should be overthrown.
The expressions of Old Zhao's son and daughter-in-law were hard to describe. The more different the other party was from ordinary people, the more convinced the three old people, including Old Zhao, were. Even though the other party had refused several times, they insisted on visiting.
Compared with the three old people, the two of them were even more skeptical. At this time, all they could do was to stay with the elderly and do the final check to prevent them from getting carried away. Being cheated of money was a small matter. What was more important was the health of the elderly.
They waited at the gate for a long time. The visitor insisted on coming in, and Wen Zhezhi would never let anyone in without the host's order.
"Sister Wen, the owner asked them to come in. They are too noisy." Perhaps because they were arguing at the door for too long, the noise of everyone's conversation affected the owner's viewing of TV. The cute little deer peeked out from behind the open side door.
Rong Zhou thought that Wen Zhezhi could just go out and deal with it, but who knew that it had been more than ten minutes and there was still a lot of noise outside, as if they were not going to turn back until they hit the wall. He had no choice but to let Xiaolu go out and notify people to come in. It was not a good idea to keep making noise outside.
The moment the deer appeared, the expressions of several people changed when they understood what he said.
This was an underage girl. It was not right for such a little girl to keep calling the word "master". Her mood became extremely complicated. She didn't know whether the man they were meeting was capable or not, but he must be a bad person, a slave owner who was against the people.
He was not so anxious to ask for an audience, but rather wanted to investigate the situation and, if possible, rescue the two people and overthrow the feudal slave owners.
The expressions of the two old people became serious. The old man took the old lady's hand and squeezed it. Although his mind had changed, his face did not show it at all. After years of being in politics, he still had some superficial skills. His previous anxiety and loss of composure were also for his son.
When Wen Zhezhi came out before, he opened the side door. There was only a small gap in the door, and he couldn't see any entrance.
"Please." Of course, the main door is opened to invite people in. Wen Zhezhi waved his sleeves and gently stroked his body to invite the guest in.
The large carved iron gate was tightly covered with dense vines. As the gate opened, the flowers and plants in the yard were revealed, one bunch after another, pink peach blossoms and green willows, blooming in various shapes and colors.
Although the fence around the villa is also made of iron, it is also covered with dense vines. Unless you push them aside with your hands, you really can't see what's inside.
These flowers and plants were planted and arranged by Butler Wen according to his own preferences. It seemed that in the previous world, Butler Wen had developed his own hobbies. He liked to fiddle with flowers and plants, and Rong Zhou was happy to do so. Of course, these flowers and plants were sponsored by Rong Zhou free of charge. Rong Zhou also taught him some decoration tips and scenery composition.
The scenery in the garden is already astonishing enough. The moment everyone stepped in, their whole body was alert and they felt that all the pores in their body opened comfortably. The feeling was very suspenseful, two worlds in one step.
You can hear birds singing, water flowing, and butterflies fluttering among the flowers. The subtle fragrance wafts into the air. Even the old lady who is allergic to smells doesn't feel uncomfortable at all. The expressions of several people become complicated. It seems that the owner of this yard is really extraordinary.
Walking on the green stone pavement, Wen Zhezhi led everyone into the hall, walked around an embroidered screen, and opposite was a floor-to-ceiling window that covered the entire wall. Outside the window was a carefully trimmed garden, and the sound of the fountain's flowing water came from there.
The person standing in front of the French window slowly turned around. They thought they would see a man in his fifties or sixties who pretended to be righteous, but who knew that this man would be so young.
The person who led the way for them was already very beautiful, and this person was even more exquisitely carved. The exquisite black ancient costume wrapped her body, making her tall and slender, and her long black hair was obedient and perfect. In contrast to the black on her body, her skin was white and almost transparent. She looked at them with gentle eyes, and even the corners of her mouth were smiling.
It's just that this kind of perfection makes people who see it dare not approach. It is an invisible sense of distance. They think that those who still practice the master-servant system in today's society must not be good people. After seeing the real owner, this idea was immediately thrown out of the window.
If we say that the other party is a person who clings to the feudal landlord system, it would be better to say that there will be people who will continue to serve him as his servants.
The visitor knew that one should not judge a person by his appearance, but he had some understanding of the relationship between master and servant. Understanding is understanding, but he still had to rescue the person if necessary.
Rong Zhou certainly didn't know that at this moment, several people's minds were racing.
"Please sit down." Rong Zhou believed that he had never changed and had always been approachable. Except for being lazy and not wanting to socialize, he still had all the necessary courtesy and hospitality.
