Start a mysterious island

Chapter 475 Love at first sight and the little guy’s counterattack (two chapters in one)

In a corner of the spiritual world, there is Dongwu City in Chu State, the most prosperous area of ​​the city, and a magnificent mansion.

Zhao Chuan, the confidant of the young master of the Zhao family, walked into the Zhao mansion with his childhood playmate Li Mi. On the way, he met a maid he knew and asked, Is the young master at home?

Yes, the maid said.

Is the young master over there in the garden, or in the study? Zhao Chuan asked.

In the study, the maid replied.

Zhao Chuan nodded, and then led Li Mi towards the study.

There are so many pavilions and pavilions in the Zhao family's mansion that you need to walk through many corridors before you can reach Zhao Haoyu's study.

At this time, a middle-aged woman who was about fifty years old walked into a small courtyard with tea and pastries in her hands. She walked on the stone road paved with bluestone bricks and came to a room in the courtyard.

Dong dong dong.

The middle-aged woman freed her hand and knocked on the door of the room in front of her.

In the room, in front of the bookshelves filled with books, a tall and handsome man with a fair face and sharp edges, wearing luxurious clothes, sat in front of the desk, leaning against the back of the chair, holding a book in his hand. Read the book carefully.

Hearing the sudden knock on the door, the handsome man raised his head, looked at the door of the study, and said.

Come in.

The middle-aged woman carrying tea and cakes heard the noise coming from the house, and she immediately opened the door and walked in.

Aunt Liu, why are you here? Zhao Haoyu looked at the middle-aged woman who walked into the study, and then greeted her.

The madam asked me to bring you some pastries, young master. These pastries were specially bought by my servant this morning. The young master can try them. They taste very good...

The middle-aged woman said with a smile while placing the tea and cakes in her hands on Zhao Haoyu's desk.

Zhao Haoyu smiled and nodded, then picked up a piece of exquisite pastry on the plate and took a bite, then took another sip of tea, This pastry tastes really good.

The middle-aged woman saw that Zhao Haoyu had finished eating a piece of cake and there was not much tea left in the cup, so she picked up the teapot and filled it for him again.

After pouring the tea, she said to Zhao Haoyu, who picked up another piece of pastry and started eating it.

Young Master, I just released your grounding yesterday. You must not make Master angry again. Otherwise, I will not ground you for half a month.

Yeah. Zhao Haoyu responded while eating the pastry. The expression on his face did not change at all. I don't know what he was thinking.

Hey... The middle-aged woman looked at the young master she had watched grow up, sighed, and persuaded him earnestly.

Master and Madam also know that you like Miss Zhu's family, but for family considerations, Miss Zhu's family is not your best choice.

... After listening to the middle-aged woman's earnest persuasion, Zhao Haoyu put the uneaten half of the pastry back on the plate. He was silent for a few seconds, then looked up at the other party and said, Aunt Liu, what are you talking about? I understand them all.

But you asked me to pursue the city lord's daughter, why are you so sure that I will be able to catch her!

And you don't know what her personality is like. It's hard for me to get along with her... Instead of wasting time on her, it's better to pursue Miss Zhu.

Although the Zhu family is a merchant family, they are also related to the city lord. The city lord and his family love Miss Zhu very much.

If I can catch up with Zhu Xinru and marry her, it will be of great benefit to the future development of our family...

The middle-aged woman couldn't convince Zhao Haoyu, so she just smiled bitterly and shook her head, Master, in fact, I support your idea from the bottom of my heart. Now you should find a way to convince the master and his wife!

I'll try to change my mother's thoughts, but it can be changed. But it's too difficult to change my father's thoughts. Zhao Haoyu sighed, with a depressed look on his face.

Afterwards, the middle-aged woman who came to deliver tea and cakes left the study.

After the middle-aged woman left, a man with a height of 1.9 meters and a burly build came to the study with a short man with a sharp mouth and monkey cheeks.

Dong dong dong.

Zhao Haoyu, who was eating cakes and reading a book, heard someone knocking on the door of his study room again. Because his thoughts were interrupted again, he frowned slightly with displeasure.

Come in.

Zhao Chuan, who was standing outside the study, heard the sound, opened the study door, and walked in with Li Mi.

Zhao Haoyu leaned back on his chair and watched his trusted servant walk into the study with a strange face, feeling a little confused.

He thought about it seriously and remembered that this man with a sharp mouth and monkey cheeks was Zhao Chuan's playmate when he was a child before he entered the Zhao family.

Previously, I gave the other party a simple task to test whether he was qualified to be his subordinate, but he failed.

Zhao Haoyu looked down upon such a guy who was unfavorable in his work and was unwilling to take him under his command. Later, seeing Zhao Chuan's pleading, he decided to give him another chance.

What's up?

Master, Li Mian knows that you like to eat ice-heart fruits, young master, so he ran to the mountainous area in the north of the city to find ice-heart fruits for you regardless of the danger to his life... Zhao Chuan smiled and explained to his young master, he brought The reason why Li Mi came.

As soon as he finished speaking, Li Mi, who was standing behind Zhao Chuan, immediately stepped forward and placed the paper bag in his hand on Zhao Haoyu's table.

Zhao Haoyu opened the paper bag and saw a lot of white fruits with snowflake marks on the surface. He raised his head and looked at Li Mi, who was looking at him respectfully, and said in surprise.

You actually dare to go to that place to look for ice heart fruit. You are so courageous!

For you, young master, I will give everything, even my life... Li Mi took the opportunity to express his loyalty. The resolute look on his face made people think that this guy was a loyal person.

Zhao Haoyu smiled slightly after hearing Li Mibiao's loyal words. Although he had heard many people say this type of words to him, no one would be disgusted by such words.

When Li Mi saw the young master of the Zhao family smiling at him, he was extremely excited. He wondered if this meant that the young master of the Zhao family recognized him and that he was about to become famous.

There is ice heart fruit in that dangerous place, I know about it.

How did you go to that place to find the Ice Heart Fruit with this level of cultivation, and finally come back unscathed? Zhao Haoyu looked at Li Mi with an excited expression on his face and asked.

He was not a brainless fool, and he would not think that just because Li Mi took out a bag of ice heart fruits, he was a talented person who could be hired under his command, unless Li Mi's next explanation could be justified.

Master, it's like this... I learned that you like to eat ice-heart fruits, young master, so I started to inquire about where to pick ice-heart fruits...

Li Mi had long thought that Zhao Haoyu would ask him to explain the process of picking ice heart fruits, so he didn't feel any panic when explaining it at this time.

His face didn't turn red, and his heart didn't beat. He vividly told the whole process of picking ice heart fruits in detail.

As for the content about encountering Lin Li and an extremely terrifying beast that ran out of the cold pool, he deleted it.

You are quite lucky to be able to bring back the ice heart fruit safely just by relying on the smelly ointment... After Zhao Haoyu listened to Li Mi's explanation, he didn't find anything wrong. He nodded and said Li Mi praised.

This is all thanks to you, Master. Maybe God knew that I came here to find Bingxinguo for Master, so the whole process went very smoothly. Li Mi flattered Zhao Haoyu with a flattering look on his face.

Zhao Haoyu smiled and turned to look at his trusted servant, Zhao Chuan, you can arrange a place for Li Mi later.

Li Mi, who had a flattering expression on his face, looked ecstatic after hearing what Zhao Haoyu said.

Because what Zhao Haoyu said means that he will be under Zhao Haoyu from now on. With the young master of the Zhao family as his backer, the future can be said to be bright.

Yes. Zhao Chuan nodded, and then glanced at his childhood playmate with a smile on his face, feeling happy that he would officially join his side and become his own starting from today.

Go and help me prepare the carriage first. I have to go out now... Zhao Haoyu explained.

Master, are you going to the Zhu Mansion to visit Miss Zhu? As Zhao Haoyu's close servant, Zhao Chuan immediately guessed what his young master was going to do when he went out at this time.

The reason why I am visiting Young Miss Zhu’s family now is just to give the ice heart fruit I just got to Miss Zhu’s family, because Miss Zhu’s family also likes to eat this ice heart fruit. After giving the ice heart fruit and chatting, I can get a wave of good things. Sensitivity.

Yes. Zhao Haoyu was not surprised that Zhao Chuan could guess his thoughts. He nodded and said, Go and get ready! I want to go out as soon as possible.

Zhao Chuan knew that his young master was eager to see Zhu Xinru, but he did not set out to prepare a carriage for him, but persuaded him.

Master, today is the first day that the master has lifted your restraint. You know what he thinks. As soon as you are released from the restraint, you will go to the Zhu family to visit Miss Zhu. If the master finds out, it will not be a good idea. Wonderful.

... Zhao Haoyu was silent for a moment after hearing this. He glanced at a bag of ice heart fruits on the table, and then said to Zhao Chuan.

Miss Zhu likes to eat ice heart fruits. If I don't visit her while I have ice heart fruits in hand, wouldn't I miss a good opportunity?

Zhao Chuan thought for a while and suggested, Master, this ice heart fruit won't spoil for a while. You don't have to be in such a hurry to visit Miss Zhu at the Zhu Mansion...

Um... Zhao Haoyu hasn't visited Zhu Xinru for more than half a month. Now that he has finally been released from confinement and can go out, and with a gift like Bingxinguo that can please Zhu Xinru, he can't sit still for a moment.

Zhao Chuan saw the tangled expression on Zhao Haoyu's face and made the next best suggestion, Master, why don't you go to Zhu Mansion to visit Miss Zhu tomorrow?

Why wait until tomorrow? Zhao Haoyu asked puzzledly.

I was chatting with the steward's staff just now, and I learned from him that the master will go on a long trip tomorrow morning to do some business.

We can wait until the master goes out and then visit Miss Zhu in the Zhu Mansion, which is safer... Zhao Chuan explained based on the information he had learned.

When Zhao Haoyu heard the good news, a happy smile appeared on his face, Okay, as you said, after my father goes out tomorrow, we will go to Zhu Mansion to visit Miss Zhu.

Afterwards, Zhao Chuan and Li Mi left the study and walked out of the house.

When Zhao Haoyu was the only one left in the study, he reached out and took out an ice heart fruit from the paper bag, put it in his hand and looked at it.

At this moment, in his mind, he imagined the smile on Zhu Xinru's pretty face when she received his gift, and he was full of expectations for visiting Zhu's house tomorrow.

In the corridor of the Zhao Mansion, Zhao Chuan and Li Mi were chatting while walking outside the mansion.

Zhao Chuan, I didn't expect the young master to be so in love with Miss Zhu's family!

Yes! Many years ago, when the master took the young master to attend the birthday banquet of the city lord, the young master fell in love at first sight when he saw Miss Zhu's family at the birthday banquet. Over the years, he has been thinking about her...

With the young master's talents and talents, it is not easy to win the heart of Miss Zhu's family?

Um... Well, although Miss Zhu's temperament is as gentle as water, she is very cautious about emotional matters.

Although the young master has spent a lot of effort over the years to enhance his relationship with Miss Zhu's family, the effect is not good.

That is to say, Li Mi was Zhao Chuan's childhood playmate, so he would tell the inside story. If it were anyone else, he would not tell it in such detail.

The two walked and chatted as they walked out of the gate of Zhao's mansion. Next, Zhao Chuan wanted to arrange a place for Li Mi to live.

The young master of the Zhao family has many properties in Dongwu City, and the talents he takes under his command will be assigned a residence with a good environment.

Do you like this place? If you are not satisfied, I will help you find another place. Zhao Chuan took Li Mi to a house with a yard to take a look.

This place is fine. There is no need to change to another place. Li Mi was very satisfied with the house with a yard in front of him.

Living in such a house in this prosperous area was something he had never dared to imagine before.

Because this place is very close to the city lord's palace, ordinary people, even if they are rich, are not qualified to buy the property here. If you rent it, the price is exorbitantly expensive.

Okay, since you are satisfied here, then go back quickly, pack up your things at home, and move here!

After you get settled, I'll arrange something for you to do.

As long as you work well for the young master from now on, the glory and wealth in the rest of your life will naturally be with you... Zhao Chuan said to Li Mi with a happy smile on his face.

After a few words of explanation, he left because he had other things on hand to be busy with.

Li Mi stood alone in the yard, looking at the beautiful new home in front of him, and couldn't help laughing, Hahaha... I, Li Mi, finally changed my fate against the odds.
