At the beginning of the day, the night in Pingzhou is lively.

The painting boat gradually came to the shore, and Qin Elegy sent Zhang Xiang ashore.

"Then the elegy will be gone, Zhang Gongzi, forgive me not far away, if he has the opportunity in the future, Zhang Gongzi will go to Ningxiangju, and the elegy will be entertained in person." Qin Elegy Yingying salutes.

"Miss Qin, farewell." Zhang Xiang bowed his hand slightly.

Then Qin Elegy walked into the cabin, and the painting boat slowly left.

Qin Elegy returned to the cabin, walked to the guqin again, sat down, and played it gently.

A figure appeared in front of her at some point: "You are too risky like this, Shi Guangshun has no news, I wonder if he has brought our news back?" I don't know if they still sent people, if those people see you contacting Zhang Mingheng, it will be troublesome. ”

Qin Elegy glanced up at him, and then lowered his head again: "Senior brother, just this time, didn't I ask Yang Li to cover for me!" Xiao Engong was called by Yang Li, and I just happened to see the horse. Moreover, there is a master watching from the north, and if there is any movement over there, the master will also notify us, since it is not yet, it proves that the news that we have come to Pingzhou has not been spread yet. ”

Yuan Shen walked over: "Just this time, before these people who followed us to Pingzhou are found, you must not meet him again." ”

Qin Elegy let go of his hand and smoothed the strings, and the sound of the piano gradually dissipated: "Senior brother, it's been so long, doesn't there be any news about this Shi Guangshun?" ”

Yuan Shen shook his head: "This guy is too cunning, and he doesn't know where to hide?" The Pingzhou Mansion has been looking for so long and has not found it, and I estimate that his injuries are almost healed. ”

"Zhao Hanyan should know the news!" Qin Elegy asked.

Yuan Shen nodded: "These days, Zhang Mingheng hasn't gone to the academy anymore, it should be Zhao Hanyan's meaning, and Zhang Mingheng went out, and there were some guards who followed secretly. ”

"It seems that this princess is still quite concerned about Xiao En's public security." Qin Elegy smiled lightly.

Yuan Shen turned around: "I'm leaving, I will continue to look for Shi Guangshun while secretly protecting Zhang Xiang, and you will stay in Ningxiangju with peace of mind first." ”

"And..."

Yuan Shen thought for a while, and then said: "This Yang Li is not simple, you be careful with him, I found that his relationship with Liu Qingyin is not ordinary." ”

Qin Wangge's eyes condensed slightly, and then stretched: "It's not a strange thing for a celebrity like Yang Li to associate with the Qinglou Oiran!" ”

"In short, I don't think he's simple, I'm worried that he was called by Liu Qingyin to find out your details." Yuan Shen said.

Qin Elegy thought for a moment and suddenly asked, "Senior brother, is there a dossier about this Yang Li in the Snow God Sect?" ”

"I don't know, then I have to ask Master."

"Then you can send a letter to Master, and if you have one, let him send us a copy of Yang Li's file."

"Okay..."

……

A few days later, Zhang Xiang received an invitation from Yang Li.

After noon, he took Qian Ziang into the carriage and went out.

After meeting Yang Li's carriage at the entrance of the street, they headed towards the Laolong River in the east of the city.

The Laolong River is a tributary that diverges from the Qinhuai River in Pingzhou City and flows out along the east of the city.

This side is sparsely populated, in the early years, many gentry and clans in Pingzhou bought land here, and over the years, many mansions have been built one after another, but they are still empty.

After Zhang Xiang and Yang Li got out of the carriage, they shuttled all the way through the secluded alleys.

While walking, Yang Li also told Zhang Xiang about the situation here: "The kind of place that Brother Zhang said, I happen to know that there is a suitable place here, so I will take Brother Zhang to have a look." ”

After a while, Yang Li pushed open an old courtyard door and led Zhang Xiang into a long-abandoned mansion.

The courtyard is overgrown with weeds, and the dry well next to it is almost covered with weeds.

Zhang Xiang observed it and thought it was good, after all, the area was quite large, and it was more than enough to make a workshop.

Yang Li took him around and said with a smile: "How is it?" Not bad, right? Outside the courtyard wall is the Laolong River, whether it is water, or drainage is very convenient, out of the courtyard gate to the west is the avenue, the carriage in and out is also very convenient, and there are very few people here, but also enough secluded. ”

After turning around, Zhang Xiang was indeed satisfied, and Qian Ziang, the housekeeper who followed him, also felt that this place was good.

Zhang Xiang said with a smile: "The place is not bad, I don't know whose name this mansion is?" ”

Yang Li smiled mysteriously.

Seeing his smile, Zhang Xiang was surprised: "Could it be that this is Brother Yang's?" ”

Yang Li smiled and nodded: "Yes, this is Yang's house, which I bought from a merchant after I came back from the capital three years ago, and I also bought it when I saw that the environment here was good. A few days ago, I heard Brother Zhang say that he wanted a place to open a workshop, I remembered this place, so I brought Brother Zhang over to see, if Brother Zhang is satisfied with this, how about opening a new workshop here? ”

"A gentleman doesn't take the favor of others, this is Brother Yang's place, how can I be embarrassed!" Zhang Xiang waved his hand.

Yang Li said: "Hey, Brother Zhang, what you said is out of sight, I hit it off with Brother Zhang at first sight, and I already regard Brother Zhang as a lifelong confidant, why should Brother Zhang be polite to me?" Besides, I don't need this place now, and I'm idle when I'm idle, and if I give it to Brother Zhang, it just happens to reflect a little value. ”

Zhang Xiang was a little excited about this place, after all, apart from here, he really couldn't find a suitable location.

What he said just now was just kind words, Yang Li said so, and he said: "Then let's do it, I will buy Brother Yang's mansion, and Brother Yang will make a price!" ”

"Brother Zhang, do you think I, Yang Li, am a person who is short of money?" Yang Li laughed: "Yang really wants to make a confidant like Brother Zhang, this is a meeting gift, of course, I will lend it to Brother Zhang, if I need it in the future, I will take it back, so Brother Zhang doesn't have to mind." ”

Zhang Xiang hurriedly shook his head: "How can it be done, friendship is friendship, I am using it for business, one yard is one yard, and it can't be mixed up." ”

For this kind of thing, Zhang Xiang is very concerned.

Nothing to be courteous, either a traitor or a thief.

Yang Li was so kind enough to lend him such a good place to open a workshop, it couldn't be for nothing.

Regardless of whether what he said is true or not, once he accepts it, he owes Yang Li a favor, and the debt of favor is much more difficult than the debt of gold and silver, and he definitely does not want to owe favor to things that can be solved with money.

Zhang Xiang said resolutely: "If Brother Yang refuses to sell it to me, then I can't borrow Brother Yang's place for nothing, so I have to find someone else." ”

Yang Li thought for a moment and said, "In this way, it will be regarded as a partnership between me and Brother Zhang, I will go out of the place, and the rest of the things will be taken care of by Brother Zhang, and I will be given a share in the future." ”

Become a shareholder?

Zhang Xiang came up with this word inexplicably in his mind.

He said with a little amusement: "Brother Yang is a celebrity, if it is rumored that he is doing business in secret in the future, his reputation will not be very good!" ”

"Hahaha..."

Yang Li smiled casually: "In the early years, I may still have some opinions on what reputation and fame, but now, I Yang Li don't care anymore, I just want to be a chic idler now." ”

"Oh? Why? Zhang Xiang was curious.

In this kind of era of 'everything is inferior, only reading is high', how difficult it was for Yang Li to become the champion, entering the court as an official is the dream of many people, and scholars also care about fame and fame, Yang Li is such a talented celebrity, would he not care about these?

"Brother Zhang should have heard about me coming back from the capital three years ago because I was dismissed!"
