The surname Xian is rare, so the likelihood of having the same name is low.

And Xian Fan's background is likely to be the son of a big family, so the big family surnamed Xian that Old Man Chu knows may be Xian Fan's origin.

Li Wenjun's eyes were surprised and happy, but in order not to lose his politeness, he still pretended to be flat and asked:

"Old Man Chu, can you tell me about the big family surnamed Xian? This matter is very important to us, and even involves the lives of many people. ”

Li Wenjun deliberately said in an exaggerated tone.

"Does it have anything to do with me?"

The old man slowly put down the watering can in his hand, turned his head and stared at Li Wenjun with boring eyes, and said, "I do know the big family surnamed Xian, but I also have a very important reason why I can't tell you about them." ”

Li Wenjun was stunned, and his expression was slightly embarrassed.

When he first started to negotiate with the old man, although he felt that the old man was not very good at talking, it should not be as exaggerated as Chu Tian said, but at the moment when the old man turned his head, he found that what Chu Tian said was indeed the truth, and the old man's attitude changed too quickly.

"Old man Chu, if I can't find out about this matter, many people will die because of this, you have to think about it, you can save many lives with a few words!"

Li Wenjun said a little anxiously.

"There is no basis for what I say, and how can I really save other people's lives with these words, if you want to talk from me, forget it, if you want to know something, you can check it yourself, I won't tell you. ”

After speaking, the old man did not look at Li Wenjun, and continued to water the flowers in the garden with a watering can.

Li Wenjun guessed that Old Man Chu might be eating soft rather than hard, so he was ready to change his strategy and slowly get something about Xian Fan out of Old Man Chu's mouth.

He glanced at the flowers planted in the garden and said with a light smile:

"Old man Chu, do you like peony flowers?"

"I don't like it. The old man shook his head slightly.

"Is it because peony flowers have a special meaning to you that you are planting peony flowers here?" Li Wenjun then asked.

These words seemed to evoke some not very good memories of the old man, and the old man's eyes were gloomy, but only for a moment, he immediately covered up the gloom of his eyes, shook his head and said:

"I just think the peony flowers are pretty. ”

Li Wenjun, who loves to pay attention to details, obviously noticed the gloom that flashed in the old man's eyes, and he changed the topic with interest:

"Old man Chu, what kind of tea do you like to drink?"

"Tieguanyin. The old man said lightly.

"Oh. ”

Li Wenjun nodded slightly.

"If you want to rely on gifts to talk, it's better to skip it, save you both money and a trip in vain, I don't lack anything here, I won't accept anything you give. The old man said expressionlessly.

"Old man Chu, you misunderstood, of course I know that you don't lack anything, I just asked out of curiosity. ”

Li Wenjun really wanted to give a gift to leave a good impression on the old man at first, but after being exposed on the spot, he immediately found a reasonable excuse to turn the matter over.

In the silent atmosphere, Li Wenjun was a little impatient.

The old man seemed to be determined not to tell him about Xian Fan, he stood by and waited for a long time, but the old man didn't even look at him, so he was watering the flowers there.

The old man watered the flowers very delicately, and he had to wash the petals and green leaves before watering the next flower.

And the number of peony flowers in this garden is very large, according to the old man's speed of watering, I am afraid that most of the day will not be able to water the flowers in the garden.

The old man was very patient, and just watered the flowers one by one. Second Chinese Network

After waiting for a while, seeing that the old man was still silent, Chu Tian couldn't help but say:

"Old man, this matter is really very important, if you know about the big family surnamed Xian, please tell us, if we can't find out about this matter within half a month, many people will really die because of it. ”

The old man ignored Chu Tian, shook the watering can in his hand, and found that the water had been sprinkled.

"There's no water, I'll go get some water. ”

The old man was about to leave with a watering can, but after looking at Li Wenjun, who was unmoved, he reminded:

"Don't wait here, no matter how long you wait, I won't tell you anything about that family, instead of wasting time here with me, you might as well investigate it yourself, maybe you can find out something in advance. ”

The old man didn't care what Li Wenjun thought, so he ignored them and went to the corner of the garden to fetch water.

Looking at Li Wenjun who was standing there motionless, as well as the leisurely old man, and the impatient Queen Chutian, Meng Qian couldn't help but say:

"What's going on? Didn't they ask anything?"

"Looking at the situation, I shouldn't have asked anything. Yang Yuxian said.

"Why don't I go over and ask, maybe this old man Chu looked at the number of us and inadvertently said something?" Meng Qian said.

Wang Xinyan shook her head and said, "Chu Tian said that Old Man Chu doesn't like a lot of people. ”

"No, then it's not a way to let the two of them stay there like this, we all have to fight anyway, maybe that old man Chu is too old and his courage has become smaller?

Wang Xinyan smiled and said, "This old man Chu is full of courage, just like Zhao Yun during the Three Kingdoms period, he has never been afraid, it is impossible for us people to scare him." ”

"What if?"

Meng Qian seemed to want to say something, but was choked back by Wang Xinyan's words:

"No in case, so be it, listen to Chu Tian's accuracy, let's watch here honestly, don't go up and make trouble for them." ”

Meng Qian sighed helplessly, silently looking at Li Wenjun, who was motionless there.

After Old Man Chu came back, he found that Li Wenjun and Chu Tian were still standing here, and he didn't care, continued to water the flowers, and ignored them.

Most of the garden was watered, Li Wenjun was still standing there, Chu Tian was obviously very impatient, but he was entrusted by Wang Xinyan, and he was embarrassed to leave Li Wenjun here alone, so he stood next to him and waited silently for Li Wenjun to move first.

The old man's watering can ran out of water again, he looked at Li Wenjun, who was dripping with sweat from the sun, and raised the watering can and said:

"Young man, you go and help me get a pot of water, and by the way, wash your face, look white and tender, don't tan. ”

In the first half of the sentence, Li Wenjun was still expressionless, but when he heard the second half of the sentence said by Old Man Chu, his heart was secretly happy, because he knew that after standing here for a long time to express his sincerity, Old Man Chu was obviously a little soft-hearted.

He hurriedly took the watering can and ran towards the corner of the garden, and after receiving the water, he did not forget to wash his face, and then sent the watering can to him.

The old man took the watering can and said lightly:

Of course, it is normal for you to have never heard of the name of their Xian family, after all, the Xian family is low-key, and the foundation is not deep, so it is not famous, but it has real weight in the imperial capital, even the Chu family, which is inferior to the Xian family. ”

Li Wenjun's eyes were happy, and he hurriedly asked:

"Old Man Chu, can you tell me more details about the Xian family? This matter is really, very important to me, if I don't find out within half a month, many of my friends will be imprisoned or even face death because of this. ”

The old man smiled lightly, watered the flowers with a watering can, and said:

"It's difficult for you to find out about the affairs of the Xian family, and only those of us who are older generations can have a little knowledge of the Xian family, otherwise even if you are asked to investigate for ten or eight years, you may not be able to find out about the affairs of the Xian family. ”

Li Wenjun nodded silently and asked, "Then can you tell me about the Xian family?"

"Yes, but you have to do something for me. ”
