"Alright, let's get down to business."

Yang Dong pushed Zhao Xiangling away, but felt that he had been caught.

His tiger body was shocked, and the next moment, he saw Zhao Xiangling smiling enchantingly and leaning down.

"The right thing to do now is to share the worries of the sect leader~"

……

Half an hour later,

Zhao Xiangling picked up the teacup and rinsed her mouth,

Once again, she turned into a beautiful snake without bones, curled up in Yang Dong's arms,

She stretched out a jade hand and drew persuasion on Yang Dong's chest.

"Sect Master, I haven't seen you for many days, do you miss the slave family?"

"What do you say?"

Yang Dong lightly tapped Zhao Xiangling's forehead, and said helplessly:

"It's you, since you're in Jiangnan, why don't you contact this sect leader? Do you really take me, the sect master, seriously? ”

"Master Sect, the slave family knows that it is wrong~ It's a big deal tonight, the slave family is at your mercy!"

Zhao Xiangling said, and planned to get up and down again.

Yang Dong knew that he still had something to do, so he interrupted the other party's spell casting.

"Alright, since I've found you, you can go back to the inn with me. Your two Dharma protectors are dying of starvation in the inn. ”

Zhao Xiangling chuckled, but nodded, and followed behind Yang Dong obediently.

After arranging their accommodation, Yang Dong wandered around Xuanzhou City.

As the saying goes, I don't know if I don't go shopping, and I am scared when I go shopping.

Yang Dong walked around this circle, and was surprised to find that the Cai family's business had penetrated into all walks of life in Xuanzhou City.

From the daily tea stalls and restaurants of some ordinary people, to the clothing, food and cloth used by officials and gentry, these things are basically under the control of the Cai family.

It can be seen that the Cai family's control of Xuanzhou has reached an unbelievable level.

Even if he has the holy decree of the imperial court in his hand, as long as he does not mobilize the army, a wave of toughness will come. I'm afraid that this holy decree will not work at all in Xuanzhou City.

At this moment, a middle-aged man dressed as a housekeeper walked in front of Yang Dong.

"I think you are Yang Gong, our head of the family is invited, and please be able to appreciate it."

Yang Dong was slightly stunned, and looked the housekeeper in front of him up and down.

"Are you the Cai family?"

"The villain is the housekeeper of the Cai family, and today I have been ordered by our family master to specially invite you to the house to talk about it. Don't know if you have time right now? ”

"Lead the way."

Yang Dong said lightly, and immediately followed behind the butler and stepped into a very luxurious carriage.

After about a stick of incense,

The carriage stopped at the main gate of Cai's house,

Yang Dong stepped out of the carriage, but saw an extremely luxurious courtyard in front of him.

This courtyard, even compared to Lin Chunqiu's Lin Mansion at the beginning, is not much better.

"Yang Gong, please here!"

The housekeeper bowed slightly and walked in front to lead the way for Yang Dong.

With the housekeeper leading the way, Yang Dong's journey was basically unimpeded.

Along the way, he was also observing the situation in Caifu.

Although it is also carved beams and painted buildings, pavilions and pavilions, the style of Caifu is very different from that of Lin Mansion in the capital.

If it is said that the Lin Mansion is based on the mountain stone, it has created some rockery-based courtyards.

Then Caifu uses water as a medium to integrate the poetry and painting of Jiangnan into the courtyard.

At a cursory glance, it has a bit of Hui architecture. But in terms of details and style, there are obvious differences and differences.

Soon, Yang Dong followed the bluestone-paved path and walked to the outside of a separate room.

The housekeeper did not continue to walk forward, but bowed and bowed, and introduced Yang Dong:

"Yang Gong, this is our master's study."

"Our master's study is not allowed for us subordinates to enter on weekdays."

"The head of the house is waiting in the study, you can go in by yourself."

Yang Dong bowed slightly, and walked to the door. He was about to knock on the door, but a delicate voice came from inside the door.

"Outside the door, Yang Gong?"

"You can just push the door in."

Yang Dong pondered for a moment, raised his hand and pushed the door open.

looked ahead subconsciously, but saw a sandalwood table, Cai Xiaolian was holding a brush, concentrating on depicting a summer lotus picture.

Different from those ancient ink paintings of the previous century, the transformation of the Great Zhou seems to have more realistic elements.

It not only incorporates the style of landscape painting, but also has some characteristics of Western-style oil painting.

"Yang Gong, wait a while, and wait for the little woman to finish painting this."

Cai Xiaolian didn't raise her head, and continued to concentrate on depicting the summer lotus picture in front of her.

"The head of the Cai family is at his own convenience."

Yang Dong bowed his head lightly and sat on the guest seat, without the intention of moving. But his eyes were observing the layout of the study.

Similar to the study in yesterday's restaurant,

The books here are also divided into categories and placed in different positions.

Among them, all kinds of historical books and classics account for most of them.

I can't see that the head of the Cai family, although he is a daughter, is also quite interested in these ways of the world.

Yang Dong was thinking about it, and the sound of putting down the pen came from his ears.

"I'm sorry, I made Yang Gong wait for a long time."

Cai Xiaolian stood up with a faint smile on her cheeks.

If you say, yesterday's Cai Xiaolian was born with a bit of charm.

So today's Cai Xiaolian is like a lotus flower that is clear and rippling but not demonic, exuding bursts of noble arrogance around her body.

For a while, Yang Dong couldn't even tell which one was the real Cai Xiaolian.

"What's the matter, Yang Gong is surprised?"

Cai Xiaolian smiled faintly, and then added a cup of hot tea to Yang Dong very casually.

She didn't seem to wait for Yang Dong to speak, but continued to speak to herself:

"Actually, there are many things, and the little woman is also more than willing to do it."

"After all, if you are in a painting, you can't be an outsider."

Yang Dong frowned slightly, and asked:

"Master Cai, my father is a rough man. What an insider or an outsider, this public can't understand. ”

"It's just the matter of the blood jade vein, how many other families can respond?"

When Cai Xiaolian heard this, her expression was slightly stunned, and then there was a little more grievance on her pretty face.

"Yang Gong, where are you a rough person, the name of Da Zhou Shixian, the little woman has heard of it."

"But come to think of it, the little woman's clumsy work, I'm afraid she won't be able to enter Yang Gong's eyes."

After saying this, she suddenly picked up the summer lotus picture that she had just drawn, and directly pulled it hard, tearing the complete painting in half.

Her wave of operations stopped Yang Dong at once.

Is the head of the Cai family sick?

It's good, what kind of painting do you tear?

saw Cai Xiaolian, the original dusty aura on her body disappeared, and was replaced by a little sadness and heartbreak.

"Since Yang Gong wants to talk about business, the little woman will talk to Yang Gong."

"Regarding the matter of the blood jade mine, our Cai family has no opinion. Tomorrow, the other three will each send their own representatives. ”
