It is a three-storey building with a wide façade and a majestic atmosphere. Different from the surrounding brick and stone houses, this building is all made of wood, antique, and compared with the brick and stone houses in the four places, although in terms of solidity, it is obviously much worse, but in terms of style, it is like standing out from the crowd, far more than the many shops around. In addition, this place is the most central and prosperous area of Luofeng Town, almost next to the sky-high tower, no matter which location you enter the city, you can go directly here, and the special location is also obvious.

And the fact that a store can set up a shop in this area is itself a demonstration of strength.

The carriage stopped in the wide square in front of the store, Shen Tong slowly got out of the car, looked around, and saw a plaque hanging in front of the wooden building "Li Ji Fu Shop", it seems that it is really their Li family's shop.

What he saw and heard at this time was obviously far beyond Shen Tong's original thoughts and impressions, originally in his imagination, Luofeng Town was just a remote town, and a small shop in such a remote place should be a small storefront, selling some simple things. Now it seems that his vision and insight are really poor, and it is obvious that his estimation of Li Ping's family is really wrong.

As a subsidiary family of Tianxing Valley, the Li family, which is also in charge of the monks of the Yudan period, is obviously far more powerful than he imagined, and just from the branch shop he saw in front of him, it can be seen that the Li family's wealth is strong. Of course, it's not just about financial resources.

However, once he came, he was safe, and Shen Tong immediately walked in under the leadership of Li Er.

The furnishings in the building are very different from the shops in Shen Tong's imagination, there are no shelves for things at all, but it is like a rich family's residence, the decoration is old, the layout is exquisite, not only does not have any cramped and narrow feeling after entering the house, but it is elegant and chic, and there are scenes everywhere. Only in the corners of the place, there are a few private seats and tea tables, which separate these areas.

Li Er was obviously familiar with the way, and after he took Shen Tong through this hall, he came to the backyard, and then he confessed to Shen Tong and turned to leave.

Almost at the same time, a crisp voice sounded, "It's Young Master Ping's arrival! The slave family is late to greet him, and he hopes to forgive his sins." ”

Shen Tong's wrinkled his head couldn't help frowning, and he looked intently, only to see a pair of women walking in front of him, judging from the standing position and clothing, it should be the master and servant. The man in the middle was wearing a white palace dress, with thin eyebrows and phoenix eyes, and a chuckle on his face, like a blooming peach blossom, which looked particularly attractive. At this moment, she was looking at Shen Tong with a smile, giving people a very close feeling.

Shen Tong knew that Li Ping's buddy looked really average, and where would a woman fall in love with this guy at first sight, and her expression at this moment was just polite. He retracted his mind and bowed: "Under Li Ping, I don't know what to call the girl?"

The woman smiled and said: "Li Zhen of the slave family, valued by the elders of the Meng family, is now the head of the store. ”

Shen Tong didn't expect that the owner of this shop was actually a woman, so he couldn't help but be stunned, and then he didn't feel the spiritual pressure from this Li Zhen's body, and he couldn't help but feel even more strange, and he was a little confused for a while.

"Young Master Ping has been tired all the way, why don't you go to the backyard to rest first, and then talk about business tomorrow?" Li Zhen smiled, as if she didn't see the strange look on Shen Tong's face at all, and the whole person also maintained a consistent relaxed demeanor.

Shen Tong asked in surprise, "Why don't you take a look at my identity token first?"

Li Zhen chuckled and said, "Young Master Ping, there have been notices and portraits of young masters in the steward's mansion before. Besides, who would dare to pretend to be a member of our Li family to swagger and deceive? I'm afraid that I won't be able to do it if I get tired of living?"

Shen Tong let out a light "oh", and then said: "It's because I'm lonely and unheard, I don't know that Director Li is so well-informed." However, it is still early in the morning, so it is better for Director Li to take this opportunity to explain to me in detail the responsibilities I need to undertake, and I will not be unable to sleep. ”

"Hey, this young master is an impatient. When the maidservant on the side heard this, she covered her mouth and chuckled and said.

"Young Master Ping's forgiveness, this is the slave maid Tao'er, she has always been lazy, and she doesn't know what the rules are, and I hope Young Master Ping won't blame her. Li Zhen glared at the girl beside her and hurriedly said.

Shen Tong shook his head and said, "It's okay, speaking of which, we are all a family, and it is easy to talk about it at will." ”

"Thank you so much, Young Master Ping! Since Young Master Ping is not too hard, why don't you go to the front pavilion with the slave family to discuss in detail?" Li Zhen said with a salute.

Shen Tong had no opinion, so he followed the two of them inside.

When he was outside, he only thought that the shop was only the wooden building, and after coming in, he found that there was a courtyard behind the wooden building, although it was not too big, but there were a lot of flowers, stones, birds, and ponds, and there was this beautiful scenery in the downtown area, which was really rare. Especially Luofeng Town, which is already a deserted place, the Li family's shops can still have this pattern, which is far beyond Shen Tong's imagination.

The mountains and rocks are weird, the flowers are vibrant, the water is murmuring, and it is really a beautiful thing to smell the fragrance of flowers in the slow stone road.

After turning a few corners, they sat down in a gazebo, and the peach on the side poured two cups of tea for them, and then retreated obediently.

"Young Master Ping, this tea is brewed from the leaves of the bitter green fruit that is unique in the Storm Mountain, and it has the effect of clearing the eyes and mind, you might as well taste it first. Li Zhen waved her hand lightly, and then took the lead in picking up the cup.

Shen Tong nodded, picked up the teacup and took a sip, and an astringent taste came into his mouth, but soon, the bitterness turned into sweetness, which made people's tongues refreshed, and the whole person's expression was also vibrated with the tea. This made Shen Tong blurt out: "Good tea, bitter first and then sweet, with a lingering fragrance, is really unique." ”

Li Zhen covered her mouth and chuckled: "I didn't expect a monk like Young Master Ping to know how to practice tea, this is really a new thing, I thought that a monk like Young Master Ping only knew one mind to retreat and cultivate!"

Shen Tong smiled bitterly: "It is precisely because of my mediocre qualifications and my lack of achievements in cultivation that I have the heart to appreciate these things!

Li Zhen said with a smile: "So, Young Master Ping has been in retreat for so many years, and he is not concentrating on cultivation?"

Shen Tong was shocked, and his face changed: "Have you investigated me?"

Li Zhen shook his head and said, "The young master misunderstood me, these things are all the information remarked by the steward's room, so that we slaves and maids can know what situations the young masters are familiar with, and fortunately, when introducing the situation, we will focus on it." ”

Shen Tong's expression eased slightly, but he still had some vigilance in his heart, for fear that he would be inadvertently tricked by her. It's not that he's afraid of anything, but he doesn't want to make trouble, after all, before he understands the things in the underworld, Li Ping's identity is still quite useful. Not to mention anything else, if he didn't have Li Ping's identity, he wouldn't even have the opportunity to find out the news, let alone the current opportunity to inquire in the open.

"Master Li, although I received a mission from the steward's room to come here, I still don't know what I need to do. Shen Tong asked after pondering for a while.

Li Zhen still said with a smile on her face: "Young Master Ping doesn't know, the position of elder in the family shop actually doesn't need to do anything, but sometimes it is more convenient to have a monk in charge, so the position of elder is set up." ”

Shen Tong frowned and asked, "In other words, in fact, it makes no difference whether I come or not?"

Li Zhen smiled: "Of course not, it's just that the shops around our Anyuan City are different from other places." After speaking, she seemed to be afraid that Shen Tong would misunderstand, and continued to explain: "Generally speaking, the elders need to protect the safety of the shops, and they need to deter the younger ones to prevent our business and property from being damaged, and their responsibilities and responsibilities are relatively important. But for those of us who are not far from the family, naturally there are no worries about this, and once there is any unexpected situation, the masters of the clan can come overnight. It's just that people in their sanity don't dare to come out of nowhere. Moreover, there is a Jindan Elder of Tianxing Valley in Luofeng Town all the year round, so there is no need to worry about safety. ”

Shen Tong asked, "In that case, why do you still need to set up the position of elder?"

Li Zhen replied: "Young Master Ping, because of the special geographical location here, there are often some transactions with the monks of the foundation building period, because there are more spirit stones involved, and the trading items are also more precious, so you need to drive the Qiankun Ruyi bag." In this way, if the head of the shop is a monk, he naturally does not need an elder, if the head is a waste person without spiritual roots, if there is no elder, it will be more troublesome to trade, but the slave family is a waste person, so naturally he needs to trouble Young Master Ping. ”

Shen Tongxin moved, and asked strangely: "Then how did this kind of transaction be completed before I came?"

Li Zhen said with a smile: "Then you need to trouble the monks in other families, but in this way, it is inevitable that you will have to pay a lot of fees, and it is also a lot of inconvenience to operate." However, after Young Master Ping came, there were no such worries and troubles. ”

Shen Tong nodded, pondered for a while and said, "Master Li, this is the first time I have left the mansion, so I don't understand many things, and I hope that Director Li will not hesitate to give advice." ”

Li Zhen said: "Young Master Ping is too polite, it is the duty of the slave family to explain the situation everywhere for the young master, if the young master wants to know anything, you can ask me at any time." ”

Shen Tong couldn't help but think of the giant tower he saw before he entered the town, which was too weird and amazing.
