Chapter Ninety-Two: Throwing Stones and Asking for Directions
The two of them entered the Zhiyuan Pavilion that the waitress said, which looked inconspicuous on the outside, but there was a hole in the inside.
The outer room is a living room, with precious and heavy mahogany tables and chairs, and a few calligraphy and paintings hanging around it.
On the left side is a small room with a study layout, which has a long case with all kinds of pen, ink, paper, and inkstone.
On the right is a small, airtight room, I don't know what it's for.
Walking further inside, you can see a mahogany table of eight immortals, which is supposed to be the place used to set up a banquet.
Looking through the banquet hall, the innermost part is a long corridor, and there should be another cave at the end of it.
Looking at this whole layout, Jiang Chuan remembered the presidential suite in modern society, and thought that this was also a similar layout, and he couldn't help but admire the way of operation of this Dongxiangchun owner again.
The style of the whole room is elegant and heavy, and it is also private, it is indeed a good place for secret agents to meet, Jiang Chuan not only bowed slightly.
Seeing Jiang Chuan's appearance, Li Yongnian smiled and said, "Is the son still satisfied here?" ”
"I have long heard of the fame of Dong Xiangchun, and today I saw it really extraordinary. Thank you, Brother Li, for your kindness. Jiang Chuan said with a smile.
"Gongzi is a young hero, powerful Liaodong, and the Marquis of Wu'an, who is enshrined by His Majesty's decree, this Brother Li has tormented Li."
After the two sat down, Li Yongnian said, and sighed lightly after speaking.
Jiang Chuan saw that his tone was sincere, without the slightest hint of ridicule, but as if he really admired himself, so he said, "Brother Li doesn't have to be too humble. Brother Li has guarded Datong for many years, and he has been on the border. If it weren't for Brother Li's hard work and hard work for so many years, this Datong might have become a tartar long ago. Others don't know that the Tartar is cruel, but the younger brother is deeply touched, so Brother Li is also a hero of the Ming Dynasty, and this brother definitely deserves it. ”
Jiang Chuan's words were natural and sincere, and Li Yongnian was slightly stunned when he said it, evoking difficult memories of the past, and only after a long time did he sigh, and his eyes were slightly red.
"For so many years, only Childe knows that it is not easy for me. Li became a brother for a while. ”
Jiang Chuan's words made Li Yongnian suddenly feel like a confidant. After guarding Datong for many years, the imperial court was weak and unable to subdue the lost territory, so it could only take a defensive position. The Tartars have come to the city several times, and if it were not for him Li Yongnian to guard, this Datong would have changed hands long ago. However, there were still many people in the court who scolded him Li Yongnian for not knowing how to make progress, and he would only shrink back, and there was even a royal history to impeach him.
Fortunately, the old emperor was not completely unconscious, so he was not dismissed. But when he thought of these bad things, Li Yongnian was still depressed in his heart.
Now Jiang Chuan's words made him suddenly feel close, and he felt that this young and handsome Wu Anhou was not as aggressive as he imagined after he got his ambitions, and he didn't know the world, but he was quite empathetic, and he had a good impression of Jiang Chuan in his heart.
This is actually nothing, Jiang Chuan also worked in sales before becoming a writer in his previous life, and it is not surprising that he has mastered some skills in dealing with people.
When meeting a stranger for the first time, if you want to get closer quickly, you must either sincerely praise him for the most proud things, or deeply understand his most depressed things, no matter which of these two points is achieved, it will achieve good results.
Li Yongnian's record seems to be mediocre, but this town guarding Datong for many years is something he is proud of, and it is also the foundation of his life. Now that he is slandered by others, he is naturally depressed. Jiang Chuan brought this forward, and the resistance to Qing was the biggest common denominator between the two, so it was easy to arouse his resonance.
Jiang Chuan knows very well that if you want to dominate the world, you can't just conquer by force, but also know how to build relationships. The Emperor of the Celestial Dynasty said that it is necessary to unite all the forces that can be united and form a united front.
Jiang Chuan deeply believes that no matter how powerful a person is, it is impossible to be the enemy of everyone in the world at the same time. I only know that those who fight and kill and go on a rampage are stunned, and that kind of person will never be able to sit in the world.
"Brother Li, if you can't afford this brother, then there is no one in the world who can afford to call me Jiang Chuan a brother." Jiang Chuan smiled sincerely.
Li Yongnian laughed, and became more and more sure that this young Wu'anhou was a character.
At this time, Bai Mu and the others pretended to visit each room, checked the entire Zhiyuan Pavilion, and found no problems, so they came over and glanced at Jiang Chuan to say that everything was normal.
Of course, Li Yongnian also knows it, but no one will break this kind of thing. Once you say it, it's almost equivalent to tearing your face.
"Go outside and keep watch." Jiang Chuan explained, Bai Mu and the two of them bowed and withdrew, standing at the door of the Zhiyuan Pavilion like two door gods, their four eyes vigilantly scanning everyone who appeared in the field of vision.
The beautiful and dignified Dong Xiangchun waitress began to serve the dishes in a beautiful mahogany food box, delivered from a trestle from the backyard leading to the fifth floor.
In a short time, all the dishes were ready, and the table was almost full.
Jiang Chuan glanced at it and found that although there were many dishes, the amount of each item was just right, no more, no less, just enough for two people to eat. And it's colorful, it's delicate and moving, and it makes people quite appetizing at a glance. And there were a lot of green vegetables among them, which surprised Jiang Chuan, he didn't expect to be able to eat green vegetables in the middle of winter.
Looking at Jiang Chuan's expression, Li Yongnian knew that he was confused, and said with a smile: "Brother doesn't know, this cave fragrant spring is not only the best wine in the world, but also a strange. Each local Dongxiangchun has its own special vegetable garden, which is said to be cultivated using a secret method, and you can eat all kinds of vegetables and even melons and fruits in any season. This is a great wonder in the world, many people want to imitate and try, but they can't succeed, so it has become a wonder in the world. ”
Jiang Chuan was surprised when he heard this, if this is in modern society, it would be too normal, greenhouse vegetables. However, in this ancient period when the productivity was obviously backward, there were still people who could cultivate out-of-season vegetables and fruits, which is really a miracle.
This made him even more interested in the owner of this Dong Xiangchun, and couldn't help asking: "Brother Li, do you know who the owner of this Dong Xiangchun is?" This kind of strange person, if you can see it, it will not be in vain. ”
Li Yongnian shook his head and said: "The owner of this cave Xiangchun is very mysterious, almost no one knows his true identity, and few people have seen him. It is said that even the emperor of the current dynasty was recruited in the past, but he failed to do so. Therefore, I am afraid that this idea of the brother will be in vain. ”
Jiang Chuan was dumbfounded, he didn't expect that this cave Xiangchun was full of weirdness, and even the identity of the owner was so mysterious, which made people even more curious.
However, today is clearly not the time to talk about Dong Xiangchun.
The wine and food are all together, and the two naturally toast each other, pushing glasses and changing lamps. Li Yongnian toasted, Jiang Chuan did not refuse to come, and his bold attitude made Li Yongnian admire.
Why do everyone like to talk about things at the wine table, because after three glasses of wine, people's spirits can't help but relax and get excited, and it is easy to say the truth.
"Brother, brother asks you, what do you think of the situation in Liaodong?" Li Yongnian was slightly drunk and began to throw stones to ask for directions.
