Hongshenglong is the largest restaurant in Pingyang Province, although it is past noon, it is still difficult to find one. But this is not a problem at all for Li Songran.

Private room on the third floor. In front of Ding Bohai was a jade siu mai, and Li Songran ordered a few side dishes and a small pot of Fenjiu for himself.

Ding Bohai looked at this customer in a daze, and didn't dare to take chopsticks at all.

"Huh? Don't you know that Hongshenglong is the property of the Nangong clan? Alas, it's a pity that my second cousin didn't like his own things since he was a child, and would rather go to the north of the city to eat stinky tofu for a penny than come to Lingyufang. He didn't tell you? ”

Ding Bohai stood up violently, rushed to the door, opened the door, and saw two big men outside the door, glaring at him angrily.

Li Songran took a sip of wine, poured it again, and said expressionlessly: "When you are allowed to leave, you can naturally go." ”

Ding Bohai turned around, knelt down in front of Li Songran, hugged his thighs, and cried: "Childe, childe, I was wrong, I was really wrong, spare me." ”

Li Songran picked him up in disgust and pressed him to the stool. "I've never liked to threaten people. Speak well, you know what I want to hear. ”

"Yes, yes, yes, there was a man who taught me to draw that picture and asked me to tell you about that snake bite, and he said, he said, so that you can believe me. I, I, I, of course not, he and him...... said that he would scratch my face, and he also said that he would cut off my children and grandchildren. I, I, my family, three generations of single ....... ”

"I heard that you have pretended to be the second young master of Nangong before, and you are still very successful?"

"No, I never said that I was the second young master of Nangong......."

"What else did that man say to you?"

"He said, let me go first, and in the future, he will tell me other things, as long as you listen to him, you can become the second young master."

"And what is his purpose?"

"He said, "If I succeed, I will divide half of his property." But, however, after that time, I haven't seen him again, I, I, if Li Gongzi doesn't come today, I want to leave, really, I didn't lie. ”

"What does that guy look like?" Li Songran then asked.

"He, he, at our age, was very heavy, and that day, my right hand was almost scrapped. Otherwise, nothing else is featured. ”

"That's it? I suggest you think again. Li Songran drank to himself.

"Yes, probably, about the same height as us."

Li Songran was speechless, he was obviously half a head taller than him. Almost high? What looks?

"Oh, oh, yes, he seems to speak with a bit of a Binh Duong accent, I, I'm not sure, I rarely come to Binh Duong."

"Binh Duong accent?" People who rarely come to Binh Duong can also hear Binh Duong accent? Li Songran was already looking at him with an idiot expression.

"Yes, yes, he speaks the official dialect of the capital."

"Gone? Think again. ”

"Oh, he was dressed well, and he gave me five taels of silver. I don't really know anything else, but if I see it, I'll recognize it. Really, really. Ding Bohai looked sincere.

"Then he must not have said what his name was?"

"Yes, yes, he didn't say."

"No companions?"

"No, no, I don't see any."

"Okay." Li Songran stood up, "After eating the siu mai, you can leave." Li said goodbye. ”

"You're making a noise!" A little boy about ten years old was lying in front of a box of toys fiddling with a nine-link ring, his face full of impatience. Another little boy who was about five or six years old next to him ran around, kept opening and closing the other seven or eight boxes, and kept saying, "This is mine, that is for my brother...... well, this is also for my brother, I want that ......." ”

"What are you two imps doing in the foyer?" Li Songran entered the door and saw two children, surrounded by a few boxes, and requisitioned the entrance hall. There were a few housekeepers and servants standing on the side, looking embarrassed.

"Uncle, uncle......," the little boy pounced on and hugged Li Songran affectionately. "I haven't seen you for another ten days, Rui'er misses her uncle very much, does your uncle miss Rui'er?"

The little boy on the side put down the things in his hand and saluted very humanly: "Hello cousin." ”

Li Songran smiled and hugged Nangong Chengrui, "Yes, of course I do." He turned his head and asked Chengjun again, "How do you play here?" ”

Cheng Jun said helplessly: "Alas, that person is here again." Pointing to the box in the hallway, he continued, "It's more exaggerated every time...... ”

"Isn't it good?" Cheng Rui interrupted his brother's words, jumped out of Li Songran's arms, and slapped the boxes one by one, "These are for us." There's a toy, there's a book, there's a pen, and there's something I don't know about. ”

"Alas, my father didn't say whether he would accept it or not, Cheng Rui was in a hurry, so he pulled me over to take a look." Chengjun explained to Li Songran.

"How long has it been since Hall Master Qin came?"

"It's been a long time, it's been a long time!" Cheng Rui held up the small * and replied.

Chengjun thought for a while, "It's been more than an hour." It is estimated that Dad will not keep him. As he spoke, he picked up the Nine Rings and asked, "Uncle Cousin, can I keep this?" ”

Li Songran smiled and patted him on the head, "You also know that Hall Master Qin is very troublesome...... ”

"Yes." Saying that, let go of the Nine Rings. took Cheng Rui's hand, "Let's go, you haven't done the homework assigned by Mr. yet." ”

"Don't, don't." Cheng Rui tried his best to break free, but he was still held back. "Uncle, help!"

Li Songran grimaced, "There's no way, listen to my brother." ”

However, before he reached the front yard, he saw Nangong Pu seeing off the guests. Qin Yongsen, the hall master of the Jingzhou Iron Sword Hall, seemed to be unwilling, and wanted to say something, but was stopped by Nangong Pu and comforted him softly. Qin Yongsen only bowed his head, saluted, and left, and when he saw Li Songran, he also saluted respectfully. Every time I saw the respectful appearance of this little old man who was almost sixty, it always made Li Songran feel a little embarrassed.

"Big cousin. Hall Master Qin is here again? Seeing that Qin Yongsen had walked away, Li Songran spoke.

"Sue in the name of New Year's greetings. Alas, Jingzhou Santang, a small quarrel in March and a big quarrel in May. After the death of Old Hall Master Hong, it has been five years, and it has not stopped. Qin Yongsen is also interesting, he will sue as soon as he makes a fuss, and he can be regarded as a person of some age, I really don't know what he thinks. As he spoke, he shook his head, looked at Li Songran and asked, "How about Ding Gongzi's matter?" ”

"No clues. Even if it was him, he would have left early. It's just that I don't understand, the people who do this don't seem to be good at all. ”

"If it weren't for him, it would be nothing more than fame and fortune."

"If you can give someone five taels of silver casually, you shouldn't be too short of money. Moreover, what is the purpose of doing this knowing that it will be exposed? According to Ding Bohai, the person who told him these two things has not appeared since. He almost lost his right hand. ”

Nangong Pu didn't dwell on this matter anymore, anyway, this kind of thing happens several times a year, and it has been less in the past few years, but it has not been broken.

The two children are about to have spring vacation, and the young lady Shen Xueying has prepared a table of dishes. However, the five of them were still a little lonely when eating.

The Nangong clan has always had a thin population and a tradition of not accepting concubines. I remember that back then, when Nangong Pu was just an adult, he won the title of the first beautiful man in Jindi, handsome, rich, and single-minded. The one who came to say kiss was about to break the threshold.

The Shen family is also a large family in Jinzhong, and some clansmen are officials in the court. The eldest daughter, Shen Xueying, has always been famous and knows how to operate. So, it was decided that Shen Xueying, who was the same age as Nangong Pu, but fortunately, Nangong Pu never objected to his father's decision. After getting married, the relationship is very good, but now, both of them are in their thirties, but they only have two sons, and the next generation of people is destined to be thin.

"Where's Songran?" After eating, Nangong Pu freshened up, changed his clothes, and came out of the flower hall, but he didn't see Li Songran.

"The two boys want to go to their room with Songran, it is estimated that if they don't put these two to sleep, Songran won't be able to go back to the room. Something? Shen Xueying asked Nangong Pu to sit down and gently squeezed his shoulders for him. Seeing Nangong Pu smiled slightly, he closed his eyes and continued: "When I was eating today, I felt that Song Ran was a little absent-minded. ”

"How?"

"Alas, from the day he came back, I felt that he had something on his mind, and he didn't say it, and we couldn't ask ....... If it's really his own brother, where can he use this. ”

Nangong Pu laughed twice, "Song Ran came to our house at the age of four, and for twenty years, I have regarded him as my own brother, at his age, maybe ......, he already has a sweetheart." ”

Shen Xueying put down her hand, picked up the tea on the table, and said with a smile: "Also, at his age, we both got married." Today, Hall Master Qin is here again? Actually, you can leave him for a meal, every time you come, you will send Jun'er and Rui'er so many things, although it is not worth much, but it is expensive in your heart, just as an ordinary friend to leave a meal. ”

Nangong Pu shook his head, "Every time, I don't go to the Three Treasures Hall for nothing, and this time it's like this again." Speaking of which, I hope that I will deal with the other two halls in Jingzhou, not for the master of the third hall. ”

"Of the twenty-three halls under the Nangong Gate, only these three halls were erected by the husband. This is the husband's own inheritance, and it is not always a way to make such a fuss. ”

"Jingzhou has a lot of forces, and when the master of Old Hall Hong is here, Santang can still survive in Jingzhou, but unfortunately, it is only Santang with the Nangong signboard. Now, Santang is not harmonious, and the forces in Jingzhou no longer take Santang in their eyes. In this way, it is better to be noisy and contain each other than to be monolithic. Besides, no matter what, at least fifty percent of Jingzhou's salt can be taken. Nangong Pu explained.

Although Shen Xueying felt that something was wrong, she didn't say anything, and the two stopped talking and laughing.

**********

Out of Chenzhou City to the west, it didn't take long to enter the mountains. Here, a mountain is connected to a mountain, there is almost no road, there are mountain streams, rivers, and people cannot cross when the water is abundant.

Fu Qingshuang didn't know how many times he came here, and the carriage couldn't get in for a long time, so he used a wheelbarrow. Fortunately, every time he entered the mountain, he was not alone. On the appointed day, the mountain would send twenty or thirty villagers to wait twenty miles on the outskirts of Chenzhou, and divide the contents of a few wagons into dozens of wheelbarrows. He has been doing such deliveries for several years.

After walking for a day, I arrived at the ferry, which was also guarded by several villagers. The goods were loaded on the ship, and after half a day, we finally arrived at a village in the canyon.

There are hundreds of people in the whole village, and because the flat land is scarce, they have difficulty cultivating and cultivating the land in the mountains. I don't know what they plant, but sometimes you can see a patch of gorgeous flowers. Fu Qingshuang couldn't figure it out, life was already so difficult and still planting flowers? The people here are really ...... Elegant.

Most of these hundreds of people are women, the elderly, and some children, including the remnants of the Xuan War Zone, the families of prisoners who were convicted in the war, and the Miao and Dong people around Chenzhou who were suppressed to the point that they could not survive.

To be honest, Fu Qingshuang didn't know who was raising these people. Delivery, for him, was just a task assigned to him by his wife. And this time, he was very obedient, and left De'an the next day, running errands in the rules.

is obviously a mortal who collects money and eats, but he calls himself the god of Xiangshui, as if he has become an immortal in this way, if the ancestor Yuan Tiangang of hundreds of years ago knew, I am afraid that he will also be angry. Thinking about it carefully, it doesn't seem right, the title of this Tiangangmen is also said by Mrs., God knows if it is a lie to him.

Fu Qingshuang asked the villagers if they knew who sent them something, and the villagers' reply was also "Luyang Sanxian". Well, since there was a saint who is dedicated to cultivation, there are many more immortals among the people.

Every time the convoy arrives, it is a festival in the village, and adults and children are elated. This also made Fu Qingshuang very envious, these people are poorer, but they also have a lot less troubles. He also thought about living here with his lover, but it was too bitter, and this was definitely not the life he wanted to give to his loved ones.

"Mr. Fu." A timid voice sounded behind Fu Qingshuang. Fu Qingshuang turned around and saw three teenagers, looking at him expectantly. "Mr. Fu, you haven't answered us about what I told you last time."

Last time? Fu Qingshuang thought for a while and smiled bitterly, "Three, it's not that I didn't answer, but I couldn't agree." ”

"Mr. Fu, we are all orphans, really. Take us out! "One of the teenagers was in a hurry.

Fu Qingshuang smiled and persuaded: "Isn't it good here?" You have food, you have clothing, you have shelter, and you have people who teach you how to write. ”

"But, we want to see the outside world, Mr. Fu, please. We wanted to go out on our own, but we didn't have a boat, and there were wolves on the hill that had already hurt many of us. Mr. Fu, we really want to go out. "There was a child who was on his knees in a hurry.

"I'm sorry, but my mission is just to make deliveries. If you really want to go out, you can ask...... Luyang scattered immortals. When Fu Qingshuang pronounced this name, he always felt a little funny.

The three teenagers looked at each other, "The immortals won't agree, because they can't leak here." “

Fu Qingshuang laughed, "Ha, so you know." ”

"But, but, someone has already escaped......." The other teenager was startled and violently covered the mouth of the young man who spoke.

Fu Qingshuang shook his head, "I didn't hear anything, it's your business." ”

A teenager cried, "Mr. Fu, we don't want to die here!" ”

"I'm sorry." Fu Qingshuang walked away. It turns out that the people who are raised here also have troubles. Fu Qingshuang left the small village again.
