Lao Bao inadvertently raised his head, saw Bao Guowei's broad shoulders and strong back, and realized that Bao Guowei had grown so strong now that he no longer needed his protection.
I remember that Bao Guowei's mother died when he was a child. When he was five years old, he led Bao Guowei and walked to the Qin Mansion step by step.
At that time, Bao Guowei had just come up from the countryside and was frightened when he saw the two stone lions at the entrance of the Qin family's mansion.
Times have changed, and now they are still father and son. Bao Guowei is walking in the front, but his old Bao is walking behind, and it is he who is timid.
…
Arrive at the gate of Qin Mansion.
Bao Guowei stood on the last step. He had no impression of the Qin Mansion at all. He looked at the mansion where the old man had spent half his life.
At a cursory glance, the Qin family's mansion is far inferior to the Marshal's Mansion in Wu Sucheng and the Zhang Mansion where Monica lives. It is even inferior to Gao Xiaocheng's mansion.
However, in this small water town, the Qin Mansion can be regarded as the landmark building of the town. Its magnificence cannot be matched by any squire or landlord.
It turned out that Mr. Qin was an official in the previous dynasty, and he often went to Jingkou to do business. He accumulated a lot of money, so he purchased land and built the Qin Mansion.
He is kind-hearted and gentle to others. Whether he is a long-term worker or a part-time worker in the Qin Mansion, his treatment is better than elsewhere.
Therefore, Mr. Qin has a certain reputation in this area.
When he walked to the door, Bao Guowei stepped aside and let Lao Bao knock on the door. But seeing Lao Bao looking embarrassed, he had no choice but to knock.
After a while, a man with a dark face and short build opened the door.
"Who are you looking for? Hey! Old Bao, why are you here?"
"Li Si, I...I'm here to see Mr. Qin..."
Li Si looked at Lao Bao up and down and saw that his cotton robe, which had been mended and worn for more than ten years, had been thrown away long ago and was now replaced by a brand new cotton coat.
He was suspicious, wasn't Lao Bao's family bankrupt and he couldn't even afford food? Why are you bringing a handsome young bodyguard to the Qin Mansion?
But Li Si had a good heart after all, and he tried to persuade him: "Old Bao! You'd better leave quickly... You shouldn't have come. Mr. Qin suffered a loss doing business in Shanghai. He just came back two days ago. Did you hear that?" It is said that your family Bao Guowei got into a big trouble, and he, as the guarantor, was scolded by the leader of Zhicheng Middle School, and he is furious now!"
"Li Si, please let me see the master! I have been with the master for more than thirty years and have been working diligently in the Qin Mansion. Now I have to give an explanation, right?" Lao Bao said in a slightly pleading tone.
Lao Bao had been tough with Bao Guowei these days, but when he arrived at the Qin Mansion and faced the people of the Qin Mansion, he always knew that he was still just a servant of the Qin Mansion.
"Oops! Old Bao, why are you so stubborn? If you come now, wouldn't you just hit the muzzle of Master Qin's gun?"
"Oh. But, I am bringing Guowei to see the master."
"Bao Guowei? Where is Bao Guowei? He offended the young master in the school. Where else can he go? He has already escaped to who knows where?" Li Si said with some displeasure.
He originally tried to persuade Lao Bao with good intentions, but Lao Bao seemed to be deliberately making fun of him.
"Uncle Li! I haven't seen you for so long, but you don't recognize me?"
Bao Guowei, who had been silent on the side, suddenly spoke. Li Si was shocked, looked Bao Guowei up and down, and exclaimed: "Ouch! It's really Bao Guowei!"
"I haven't seen you for so long, I don't recognize you! It's just that you are dressed so luxuriously today, you look a bit like my young cousin..."
"Hey! Xiao Si, what are you talking about?" Hearing a scolding, Li Si was horrified. When he turned around, he saw that it was really Mr. Ciao!
Young Master Biao is Mr. Qin's nephew, who is called Qin Yun. However, the servants and servants at home call him Young Master Biao. There are also some old people who know his name, such as Lao Bao.
Gao Sheng stood beside him. Gao Sheng was Qin Yun's footman, that is, the tall man's father. He was one of Lao Bao's close friends, and he also played a role in helping Bao Guowei go to school.
Qin Yun stepped forward quickly.
I saw him open the folding fan in his hand, his braids were gone, and he even had a traditional curly hair style. At first glance, I thought he was a foreigner.
Bao Guowei felt funny in his heart and thought: "What a fake foreign devil!"
"Li Si! What did you say? Say what you just said again!"
When Li Si saw Master Qin Biao, his back suddenly dropped a little. He didn't dare to raise his head to look at him. He muttered for a long time and was speechless.
"Young Master, this..."
Seeing him like this, Qin Yun said sarcastically: "What a loser! Open your eyes wide and take a look. Can anyone compare to me?"
Li Si was frightened, lowered his head to apologize, and almost knelt down to speak.
Qin Yun ignored him and glanced at Bao Guowei again. He looked Bao Guowei up and down, but did not turn his head. He looked at him directly and said, "You think that because you are wearing a suit, you can be regarded as a new-school figure? You don't know what to do." thing!"
After Qin Yun said that, he lifted his legs and left. Bao Guowei shouted behind him: "Someone has curly hair and thinks he is the first to get rid of the old and welcome the new! As everyone knows, everyone can see the invisible braid behind his back. You see, I have deceived myself!"
Qin Yun turned around suddenly and stared at Bao Guowei fiercely.
"What did you say?"
He was about to have an attack when Gao Sheng, the man next to him, saw that the situation was not going well and immediately stepped forward and whispered in Qin Yun's ear: "Master Ciao, Master Qin is still waiting for us!"
Qin Yun glanced at Bao Guowei unwillingly, shook his DuangDuang curly hair, and said: "I won't argue with you. Li Si! Drive them out!"
After Qin Yun left, Li Si looked at Bao and his son helplessly.
Although Li Si got scolded by Master Qin Biao because of the two of them and suffered bad luck early in the morning, in the final analysis he was still a foul-mouthed person.
"Oh wow. Li Si, yes... I'm sorry." Lao Bao said guiltily.
Li Si waved his hand and said: "Let's go! I don't care how you got rich now, but you can't help but pay attention to Master Qin Biao! Not to mention that Master Biao is Master Qin's nephew, and besides, he has been in Jingkou What a great person he is!"
Bao Guowei secretly laughed in his heart, and had a funny idea in his mind: One look at Ding Zhen, and he identified Master Qin Biao as a combination of Fang Hongjian from "The Besieged City" and the fake foreign devil from "The True Story of Ah Q"!
But he knew that he couldn't ruin Li Si's face, so he said, "It's our fault today that has caused you bad luck. I will go to your house in a few days to apologize to you."
"It's just that I really have something to see Mr. Qin today. Please inform us. My father has been working in the Qin Mansion for more than thirty years. Now he is no longer on duty. There should be an explanation, right?"
