Master Zhao nodded and reached for the drawer of the small table next to him. Young Master Zhao understood and walked over to the small table. He pulled out two red paper packages and placed them in Master Zhao's hands.
Master Zhao beckoned to the two of them, and they moved closer to sit. Master Zhao took a red envelope in each hand, handed it to the two of them, and said, "Take it." The two of them didn't understand what he meant and looked at Master Zhao.
Young Master Zhao smiled and said, "My father has set a rule in recent years. He gives red envelopes to all young people who come to visit him as a token of his blessing. It's just a small token of my appreciation, please accept it."
Ah? The old man is so thoughtful. The two of them couldn't help but have a new understanding of him. Seeing that Mr. Zhao was looking at them, they accepted the gift respectfully. They also expressed their gratitude and deepest blessings to Mr. Zhao.
Mr. Zhao smiled and nodded, signaling that they could leave. After the two of them exchanged greetings, Mr. Zhao escorted them out.
The sun was shining brightly outside. The red envelopes in their hands looked bright red. The two of them expressed their gratitude to Master Zhao again. Master Zhao waved his hand and said:
"I should be thanking you two gentlemen. After today's conversation, I feel that my father looks much better than before.
He used to talk to me so little. I was afraid he'd get bored. But now that you're here, he seems to have returned to his former spirited self. That's a great thing."
Qingsheng smiled and said, "That's good news indeed. Not only is the old man in a good mood, but he also agreed that you can visit the Wu Mansion in the future. This way, we will have more exchanges and communication in the future."
Young Master Zhao said embarrassedly, "It's all fine for me to go, but I only know about flowers and trees. I'm afraid I can't communicate with people like you who study literature and martial arts."
Ran Mo said solemnly, "Young Master Zhao, please don't be too modest. Agriculture, animal husbandry, business, and all other fields are important. Only by learning from each other and sharing our strengths and weaknesses can we achieve multifaceted development and common progress."
Upon hearing this, Master Zhao said with a delighted look, "You two are really good at guiding people. You've made me realize my own value and that the things I like are not too good to be true.
Thank you both for coming to visit and give me some advice today. If you need me to visit the Wu Mansion in the future, please let me know. I will cooperate with your arrangements and will do my best to integrate with everyone."
"That's right!" Qingsheng patted his arm joyfully. Although Young Master Zhao was much older than him, the gesture seemed rather intimate, but by now they were already familiar with each other and got along well, so Young Master Zhao also patted Qingsheng's arm. They all laughed heartily.
On the way back, Qingsheng glanced at the money in the red envelope and said, "Mr. Zhao is really generous." He then looked at Ranmo and said, "Earlier, you suggested whether we could get some profit from Mr. Wu. I didn't expect that it would be realized with Mr. Zhao first. What a great start."
Ran Mo smiled and responded, "There's a saying that goes, opportunities are created by people. We must be bold in thinking and acting in order to make our business flourish."
Qingsheng looked thoughtful and said, "Hmm, what you said makes a lot of sense. It's worth pondering." Then he waved the red envelope in his hand and said, "Tell me, what are we going to do with it? Have a big meal or go to the market?"
Ran Mo immediately replied, "Keep it!" Keep it? Seeing Qing Sheng's puzzled expression, she explained, "It means to save it. Start saving money little by little from now on, and when you need it in the future, you can take it out and use it."
"Great use?" Qingsheng thought for a moment, blinking his bright eyes. Then, he smiled meaningfully and leaned close to Ranmo's face and said, "What great use is it? Can you tell me, young lady?"
Ran Mo looked into his eyes, which were full of playful yet affectionate expressions, and knew what he was thinking. In fact, wasn't this what she was thinking too?
She pretended not to tell him and turned her back to him. Qingsheng smiled and hugged her tightly from behind. The two hands and the two red envelopes folded in front of her chest looked so bright and beautiful.
The two of them acted without delay. After meeting with Wu Shao, they briefly described the situation of their meeting with Mr. Zhao and asked Wu Shao to help arrange for Mr. Zhao to come to the mansion for a visit. When the time is right, he can also go to pay a visit to Mr. Wu.
Young Master Wu listened to their narration and plans, his eyes widening as he exclaimed, "You're truly impressive! You actually dared to venture into the tiger's den." He quickly stopped talking and said, "You actually dared to go to the Zhao residence to investigate. My father told me that old man is quite difficult to get along with."
The two looked at each other and thought, "Your father is the difficult one to get along with." Well, no wonder, the two elder masters were aggressive and would never say good things about each other, and even the younger generation was influenced by them and had preconceived notions about others.
Young Master Wu continued, "We will hold a banquet in the mansion in a few days, and you can invite Young Master Zhao to attend. If you want to meet my father in advance, I will do my best to arrange it."
Qingsheng said, "That's great. But it's only courtesy that counts. Young Master Zhao is visiting us, so you should return the favor."
Young Master Wu was stunned for a moment and said, "You're right, but you know my father's temper. It's really not right to go to the Zhao Mansion without saying hello to him. How about this, please ask Young Master Zhao to come over first. After we are all familiar with each other, I will find a way to pay him a visit."
The two of them thought that they could only follow this procedure. After agreeing with Master Wu on the day when Master Zhao would come to the mansion, Master Wu went to arrange some trivial matters in the mansion, and the two of them returned to Qingsheng's house to rest.
Qingsheng frowned slightly and said, "We've gone through so much trouble just to solve Li Yi's labor problem. Ranmo, do you think it's worth it?"
Ran Mo saw through his mood and counseled him, "Since we have accepted someone else's case, we must do our best and must not hold the mentality of disdaining the person's work. This is not in line with the professional code of conduct for lawyers.
Moreover, this matter not only involves Li Yi's employment, but also concerns the relationship between the two mansions and the masters and young masters. If we can help them reconcile their conflicts, it will be a great benefit."
Qingsheng nodded, then jokingly said, "Why do I feel like I'm almost a lawyer now? Alas, I have such poor martial arts skills, I don't know how to use them."
Ran Mo glanced at him and said, "Those who possess martial arts are like soldiers. They fight in wars, practice martial arts in peacetime, and in their spare time, they can help the people resolve disputes or even farm. This is also an advanced and reasonable way of living. You must not underestimate your good deeds and contributions."
Qingsheng smiled and said, "Forget about farming. I'll just work with you as a lawyer." Then he stared at Ranmo again, licked his lips and said, "I have something important I want to do right now. I wonder if you, Mr. Lawyer, would approve of this?"
Ran Mo subconsciously asked, "What's the matter?" Then she saw Qing Sheng approach her, pick her up, and put her steadily on the bed. He then leaned over, wrapped his arms around her, and looked at her affectionately.
Ran Mo closed her eyes shyly. Qing Sheng moved closer, pressed his cheek against hers, and gently nuzzled her ears.
It was as if they had returned to the time when they first made such an intimate gesture. Time had flown by, but the same beautiful and heart-stirring feeling remained.
