Some people say that they don't know that they are small officials when they don't see the capital, and the palm-sized Sijiu City casually threw a handful of stones, hitting at least nine of the ten people. is at the local level in the county and city, that is already a big role in the bull's ear, saying that turning the hand into the clouds and covering the hand for the rain is light. But in the capital, there are people riding bicycles to work and buying vegetables everywhere, even if they reach the hall level, and when they reach the four-nine city, which is an acre and three points of the city, they can't even toss a piece of waves.

There are so many cadres at the department level that there are even more people in Sijiu City, and every inch of land is expensive, and ordinary people want to have a world here, which is basically wishful thinking. A small number of "successful people" who live in box-like apartments do not expect that the fragrant dumplings in the hands of the capital of the courtyard houses that no one cared about 30 years ago do not seem to be uncommon even if they sell for a few astronomical prices. It's just that the courtyards where a few or even dozens of families lived together in the past have now become playthings in the hands of a very small number of people standing at the top of the pyramid.

Since making a high-end club such as "Jianfu Palace Garden" in the Forbidden City, Jiang Qingshan has listened to the advice of feng shui masters, and has focused his attention on the vicinity of the Forbidden City in recent years. Whether it is a trick or a bully, in short, nearly eighty percent of the courtyards near the Forbidden City are in the hands of the Jiang family, including a superb courtyard house that was renamed "Peach Picking Zhai" by Jiang Qingtian. The three words "Peach Picking" are self-evident, and anyone with a discerning eye can associate this courtyard worth nearly ten figures with the great Bodhisattva of the Cai family.

In this world, how many people can match the three words Cai Taoyao?

Who is worthy of it, who can enter the eyes of the Jiang family like that?

"Brother, I see you changed this plaque. Jiang Qingluan frowned slightly, looked up at the three words on the door plaque that were obviously from the hands of domestic calligraphers, for some reason, when she saw these three words, the first thing she thought of was not the Cai family, but the man who was slightly bent down.

On that day, the man who claimed to be from the mountains overturned her brother, whom she had been an idol since childhood, with one hand and stomped under his feet.

On that day, the princess of the Jiang family, who grew up in Sijiu City, discovered for the first time that the rules of the original world were not what she imagined.

That day, Jiang Qingluan suddenly found that a slightly slumped mountain man had carved an indelible outline in his mind.

Hearing Jiang Qingluan's mention, Jiang Qingtian didn't make a sound, he didn't even stop his footsteps, and went straight across the knee-high white jade threshold, without even meaning to stop.

The yard is four into four roads, and there is a rare back garden in the north. The position facing the main gate is a statue of three zhang long and one zhang high nine python Han jade wall, at first glance it looks almost the same as the nine dragon wall not far from Houhai, and then a hundred years earlier, this is called "transgression". Throughout the ages, there has been no shortage of precedents in this land of China for being beheaded for the crime of "rebellion" for "trespassing". But Jiang Qingtian didn't care, not only copied the Nine Dragon Wall, but even a pond of lotus ponds behind the shadow wall could see a few royal styles. This door, this threshold, this wall, and this pool are all from the hands of the famous master of Kanyu in Southeast Asia. There is no koi in the pool, but you can see an ugly Australian freshwater crocodile crawling behind the rockery, more than a foot long, perched with closed eyes, adding a few mysteries to the originally peaceful courtyard.

"Brother, I'll talk to you!" Jiang Qingluan finally came back to his senses from the impression of a certain rickety silhouette, and hurriedly quickened his speed to catch up with Jiang Qingtian's pace, "Everyone raises carp, it's better for you to raise an ugly crocodile." Fortunately, I don't have to stay here at night, otherwise I would have nightmares every night. ”

Jiang Qingtian glanced at the ugly crocodile and turned around, "Don't you think he looks familiar?"

Jiang Qingluan was slightly stunned and chuckled: "It's ugly." ”

Jiang Qingtian shook his head: "Don't you think he is very similar to the kid surnamed Li?" After a pause, the Jiang family's young man, who had been praised as a prodigy by Jingshan School, continued: "The crocodile is a large carnivorous reptilian animal, with good camouflage and concealment, high IQ, and four atrium, which can directly transmit oxygenated blood to the head and tail through the guò heart when hunting, so it is extremely explosive, and the prey targeted by it can rarely escape. After speaking, the Jiang family suddenly smiled self-deprecatingly.

Jiang Qingluan didn't pay much attention to the ugly reptile that looked against the aesthetics of the eldest lady of the Jiang family, but when Jiang Qingtian said it, she looked at the freshwater crocodile that was resting with her eyes closed on the side of the rockery in the pool. The Jiang family actually stopped for the first time and accompanied her to look at the animal that was motionless like a dead thing from a distance.

"It doesn't look good!" Jiang Qingluan lost interest after not seeing the crocodile move for a long time, "Let's go, it's too boring." ”

Jiang Qingtian didn't move, he snorted in the small pavilion of the eaves by the pool, the people in the small pavilion answered, opened the gate on the other side of the rockery, and a hungry ram ran out, and when he saw the water, he couldn't wait to get to the edge of the pool and drink the water.

"Hey, it's gone. When the gate opened, the adult male crocodile disappeared, and at this time, it was dozens of meters away, and it was impossible to find its trace.

The ram finally drank enough water, shook the water droplets on his body leisurely, and was slowly preparing to open his hooves. Suddenly, a huge black and gray figure burst out of the water as if it exploded, and the bloody mouth bit the ram's neck fiercely with the momentum of covering the thunder, and the ram was bitten off by the huge bite force, and the blood-mixed hooves trembled slightly a few times before they stopped moving.

Jiang Qingtian looked at her pale sister with a pale face, obviously the princess of the Jiang family had not reacted from the extremely impactful scene just now.

"To say that he is like this crocodile is actually to exalt him. His two elder brothers are like a crocodile's head and tail, and without this head and tail, his lethality is not much better than that of this ram. Jiang Qingtian, whose face was like a crown of jade, suddenly had a somewhat hideous face, as if he remembered some scenes that he himself was unwilling to look back on.

The smell of blood in the pool came from afar, and Jiang Qingluan didn't speak for a long time. After the crocodile dragged the ram's carcass to the other side of the rockery to enjoy the delicious food, she said slowly: "Brother, you said that his two elder brothers are one head and one tail, but I think he is the real predator." There was another sentence Jiang Qingluan couldn't help but say, because she wanted to say, "That person is not a crocodile in captivity in the pool." If you had to use a crocodile as an analogy, he would be the most ferocious and cunning Nile crocodile. ”

Jiang Qingshan frowned, but after a while, his brows stretched: "Go in, there are guests waiting for me inside." ”

The courtyard entered four times, bypassing the nine-curved corridor of the lotus pond, out of the outer courtyard and into the inner courtyard, I saw a middle-aged man in a white bathrobe sitting in the courtyard to enjoy the shade. The face of the Chinese character, the sword eyebrows are flying, but there is more gloom between the eyebrows.

"Brother Xiaoru, I've kept you waiting. This is what I mentioned to you, my sister Jiang Qingluan. Jiang Qingtian enthusiastically introduced, "Luan Luan, Brother Xiaoru is a big boss, didn't you say two days ago that you want to go to the south to do business? ”

Jiang Qingluan's first impression of Fang Xiaoru, who had gloomy eyes, was not good, and he just said a few words of greeting and wandered around alone under the pretext of visiting the courtyard. However, Fang Xiaoru watched the back of the princess of the Jiang family leave, and then said slowly: "Jiang Gongzi has such a big capital, even his own sister can be open-minded!"

"This is called reluctant to let the child catch the wolf, besides, I can really watch my sister jump into the tiger's mouth? I can't let her jump myself!" Jiang Qingtian picked up the mare's milk grapes on the coffee table, threw a few into his mouth, and whimpered indistinctly: "The girl is a little ambitious, she has to take care of it, and it is really a trouble to be responsible for the future." ”

Fang Xiaoru didn't answer, just glanced at the place where Jiang Qingluan had disappeared just now, and his eyes were cold. is the most ruthless imperial family, even if the Jiang family is not an imperial family, but in the marriage of children, there is little freedom. Like Jiang Qingtian proposed to welcome Cai Taoyao before, this is called a strong alliance, which is not only beneficial to the current division of interests, but also lays the foundation for the future cooperation and development of the two families, so this matter ended in the end, how could the Jiang family swallow this breath.

"There is a saying that the enemy of the enemy is my friend, Brother Xiaoru, you came to Beijing this time, not just to admire my courtyard, right?" Jiang Qingtian has been a son for so many years, and he has long been accustomed to doing things straight to the point, and he does not ambush, and said bluntly, "Our old man gave a death order, and his old man will not allow me to set foot in Jiangnan during his lifetime." ”

Fang Xiaoru smiled: "That's really a pity that there are a lot of beautiful and delicious scenery in Jiangnan, how many Jiangnan girls want to wear autumn water......"

"Brother Xiaoru is really stormy, I'll tell you the truth, in the north, I will help others, I, Jiang Qingtian, am a little vague, you only ask. But over there, to be honest, the Wang family and the one have had a grudge over the years, and there is a gentleman's agreement between the two sides, and the old man of my family has always stood by the side of the Wang family. ”

Fang Xiaoru lowered his voice and said, "Could it be that Jiang Shao really wants to put a lot of money and not earn it?"

Jiang Qingtian's face was quite complicated, and he seemed to be engaged in an extremely fierce psychological struggle. Fang Jiaoru was not in a hurry to urge him, just took a sip of grapes, and then drank red wine, with a posture of recuperation.

"Can you cooperate in a different way?" Jiang Qingtian finally said slowly, "I'm four and you're six, you are only responsible for contributing money and efforts, and I will send someone to do the rest." It's just that my face is not suitable for Jiangnan, otherwise the old man will be angry, and you and I will be unlucky. ”

"Jiang Gongzi is really wishful thinking. Fang Xiaoru shook his head and sneered, "To be honest, the conditions I opened are not low, I am eight you two, this condition is placed in the capital, and some people are rushing to talk to me." ”

Jiang Qingtian was not in a hurry: "Then Brother Confucianism should talk to others first, if the conversation is not proper, it is not too late to come to me again." "Joke, the Jiang family in this forty-nine city released a word, who really dares not to give face?

Fang Xiaoru frowned: "I'm seven and you are three, this is already the limit, if it exceeds this number, it will not be within my authority." ”

Jiang Qingtian said leisurely: "Then let me talk to me with more authority." Brother Xiaoru, this game of chess is still difficult to see the outcome for a while. ”

Fang Jiaoru nodded, and after a while, he said, "The one from Suzhou, do you want me to make a ......move?"

Jiang Qingtian said with a smile: "My life is left to me, but I still feel happy when I am disgusted and disgusting......"
