The inside of the old rain building is also very old.

For example, the beams, columns, and walls that have been stripped of their paint.

But inside it's clean, but it's not neat.

Those passing gardens may be because Shang Di has not lived here for a long time, and there are no flowers in the garden that bloom in season this summer, but those wild grasses grow very well.

If Xiao Sanniang was here, she would probably be distressed to death when she saw those grassy gardens.

If the disciples of Wanxi Zhai live here...... There won't be pretty flowers in these gardens either, they'll turn into, well, leeks!

Or cabbage.

It even became a rice field.

Li Chen'an thought of those female disciples in Wanxi Zhai, and suddenly showed a smile.

The bluestone road is very clean, and the trees on both sides of the road are also growing wantonly because they are not pruned, so there are some branches that have probed into the middle of the road, and Qiu Ju carefully lifted those branches in front of them, so that Li Chenan and others can pass more easily.

"The head of the house said that there was no need to prune, because ...... Because the head of the family said that he would return to Guangling in a few days, this old rain building ...... He said he would leave it to its new owner. ”

This place can't compare to the orderliness of Peach Blossom Island.

They are two completely different pictures, of course Zhongli Ruoshui is very puzzled by this, but Li Chenan does not care.

"Brother Shang wants to sell this house?"

"The slave doesn't know, it's just ...... It's just that I'm still a little reluctant. ”

"When the slave maid was five years old, she was bought by the head of the house from the tooth shop, as well as Chunlan, Xia He and Dongmei...... The slave maid remembered that she had lived here for more than a year, and it was a second home in the slave's heart. ”

Qiu Ju walked all the way, a little stunned all the way.

"At that time, this old rain building was not like it is now, although there were fewer people, but it was very warm and beautiful. ”

"In the spring of that year, the garden was full of spring orchids, and in the summer, the lotus pond was also full of summer lotus. ”

"In autumn, the garden is full of autumn chrysanthemums, when the winter snow is gone...... The corners of the courtyard are full of snow-reflecting plums. ”

"Later, when we went to Guangling City, we learned that the owner of the family had a bigger and more beautiful home on Peach Blossom Island. ”

"Of course, we also like it, and now that I think about it, maybe it's because Peach Blossom Island is more open and refreshing. ”

"And here...... It's a bit depressing here after all. ”

Li Chenan looked left and right, but he didn't feel any depression, thinking that these girls should have grown up, knew the things between Shang Di and Fan Taohua, understood the meaning of seeing things and thinking about people, and also understood the meaning of the three words of the old rain building, so he had that depressed feeling.

After all, no one wants to live in the shadows of the past.

What's more, the heavy name of the old rain building, which has carried decades of cutting and tidying up.

For Shang Di, it is a cage.

He was clear, so he went to Guangling, and then he had the Peach Blossom Island.

It's just that the Peach Blossom Island is another cage that imprisons him, because the peach blossoms on that island!

He jumped from one cage to another, bigger one...... Did he really leave Kyoto to escape?

This thought only flashed in Li Chen'an's mind, and Qiu Ju had already entered the inner courtyard with them.

"Li Gongzi and Third Miss, you sit down for a while, and the slave and maid will go and invite the master of the family to get up. ”

Before Qiu Ju's words fell, a loud voice sounded on the second floor of the main building:

"Hahahaha, no wonder the magpie on the branch keeps calling, waking up my brother from my dream, it turns out that my brother has arrived!"

Li Chenan looked up, "Brother, it's delaying your sleep!"

Shang Di waved his hand, "My brother is sixty years old, in a few days, if you go to that coffin, you will sleep until you are old!"

"Wait for me to come down, Qiu Ju, go get tea...... Take that jar of Shouzhou yellow buds!"

......

......

There is a towering large-leaved banyan in the corner of the main courtyard of the old rain building.

It is like a huge umbrella covering this side of the world, giving this side of the world a rare coolness in this summer heat.

It also gives many cicadas a comfortable home.

The cicadas did not stop.

But neither Shang Di nor Li Chenan felt irritable because of this cicada song.

Shang Di boiled the new pot of tea very carefully, Li Chen'an and Zhongli Ruoshui sat next to the old tea table, and Amu and Jian Wu stood behind the two.

"This tea was given to Liang Manman by a tea merchant from Shuzhou. ”

Shang Di poured a cup of tea for Li Chenan and Zhongli Ruoshui, and said, "I listened to Liang Manman's singing in Yihong Mansion last night, and she gave it to the old man...... said that it was thanks to the song "Tianjingsha". ”

Shang Di poured himself a cup, raised his eyes to look at Li Chen'an, and said with a smile: "Actually, she wants to thank you, but she doesn't know how to thank you...... Therefore, when she gave the old man this pot of tea, she said, if you have time in Kyoto, please go to Yihong Mansion to sit down. ”

Li Chenan touched his nose embarrassedly, "Let's see this later." ”

"Well, my brother also knows that you must have a lot of important things to do when you come to Kyoto. ”

After saying this, he turned his head to look at Zhongli Ruoshui, with a doting look on his face, "How is the old lady?"

Zhongli Ruoshui stood up, respectfully said a thousand blessings, and replied, "Grandma is fine...... Grandma still likes the song you composed for "Tianjingsha". ”

"It's just, it's just that grandma thinks it's a little, a little sad. ”

She said something at the time. ”

Shang Di was stunned for a moment and asked, "What did she say?"

She said...... She is a martial artist after all, listening to the piano through the window that day, although she is a curtain person, she is not a bosom friend!"

Shang Di was silent.

Serve tea.

I haven't drunk it for a long time.

Li Chenan raised his eyes and looked, of course he also understood the meaning of Old Madam Fan's words-

There is such a sentence in "Tianjingsha":

"It's like no dream, and it's a real meeting at that time.

Who loves to listen to the piano through the window?

The person who leans on the curtain is a bosom friend, in a word, at that time to the present. ”

Shang Di blew on the hot tea, took a sip, and put down the teacup.

"That day, I was playing the piano in Guiyan Building because she was next door. ”

A sentence that is still ...... After she listened to the song I played, she said something through the window. ”

She said...... Spring rain at dusk, the sound of the piano lingers, leading the swallow back, although I don't understand the meaning, but it seems to be very powerful, but after all, it is not as good as the sound of swords, guns, swords, halberds. ”

"The piano and the sword rivers and lakes, but the rivers and lakes only talk about the sword, not the piano!"

Shang Di stroked his long beard, his face was slightly pale, but after a while, he smiled, "She's right!"

"The rivers and lakes only talk about the sword, not the piano. ”

"The piano can only help fun, but it can't kill people, especially in these troubled times. ”

"I only understood the meaning of this as I grew older......" Shang Di looked at Li Chen'an, "Just like you said when you were at the South Gate, useless is a scholar!"

"So I started practicing martial arts again. ”

"Don't talk about the past, taste this tea, why did you come to this old rain building today?"

Li Chenan took a sip of tea and didn't mention Wen Xiaowan's matter for the time being, but smiled bitterly: "Actually, not all scholars are useless. ”

"Brother understands, but how many merchants can there be in the world?"

"How many flesh-eaters are there to protect the country?"

"How many people are responsible for protecting the world?"

"How many students are studying for the peace of the world?"

"Just like my brother played the piano before, but he just smiled for Bojiaren, how could he ever think of reading books to carry the Tao and playing the piano to cultivate his self-cultivation?"

"There are countless people in the world who deceive themselves, countless people who fool the people, countless people who wield power, and those who steal the country...... There are also countless of them. ”

"Of course there is sobriety in the world, but ...... The road is as difficult as the sky, and you will know it in the future. ”

Li Chenan pondered for a moment and nodded, because what Shang Di said was the current situation of Ningguo.

Of course, this still didn't matter to him in his opinion.

He didn't have the lofty ideal of turning the tide and supporting the general of the building, he still just wanted to make more money and gradually establish his own forces, just to be happy every day with Zhongli Ruoshui in the future.

"There's one thing this day. ”

"What?"

"Wen Xiaowan is missing, I suspect that she was tied up in Kyoto by the Ichthyosaurus!"
