Chapter Twenty-Six: A Beautiful Time
Ding Ruonan glanced lightly at Li Changfeng, who was drinking, and asked slowly, "What's your name?"
Li Changfeng almost didn't suffocate to death by the sip of wine in his mouth, but thinking about it, although he had already been brought to the Ding Mansion by Ding Anlan's guy, but after all these days, he has been lying unconscious on the bed, although his consciousness is still there, how can he have the opportunity to tell the only daughter of Ding Anlan in front of him his name?
Therefore, Li Changfeng only paused for a moment, and then said without thinking: "Li Changfeng." ”
"Li Changfeng, good name, who gave you this name?"
"My dad. ”
"And where is your dad now?"
Hearing Ding Ruonan ask, Li Changfeng finally slowly put down the small wine glass in his hand and said lightly: "My father...... Passed away. ”
"Where's your mother?"
"My mother also passed away......"
Ding Ruonan didn't know what to say for a while, so he timidly brushed the hair on his forehead, and said apologetically: "I'm sorry." ”
Li Changfeng waved his hand heroically and said softly: "It's nothing, anyway, I'm used to it." For as long as I can remember, I have never seen my parents, only heard from my neighbors that I was an orphan, and I didn't know who sent me there. Alas, in the past 18 years, I have been reading at night almost every day, living a life of no one and no ghost, and I only hope that one day I will be able to win the imperial examination and shine on the lintel.
Although my father and mother are long gone, I believe that if they have spirits in heaven, they will bless me......
It's a pity that in the end, I gave up this identity as a literary and eloquent talent, entered the rivers and lakes, and followed the old man with my strange temper, and it was only more than two months. ”
Li Changfeng's words reached Ding Ruonan's ears, and she couldn't help but fall into contemplation, she didn't expect that this young man with strong martial arts in front of her would have such a past.
Ding Ruonan looked at Li Changfeng deeply, and then asked: "Then according to what you said, you have only followed your master for more than two months, could it be that you have studied martial arts before? I heard my father say that you fought against more than 30 black-clothed people with strong martial arts with a knife alone, and even when you were seriously injured, you did not have any timidity at all. ”
Li Changfeng smiled slightly, shook his head and said: "Don't listen to your father's nonsense, how can I be so powerful? It's just a coincidence, so that I have a not weak internal strength, if not, who in the world can become a martial arts master in just over two months?"
When all the meals on the table were eaten by Li Changfeng, this kid also felt that the strength in his body had recovered a lot, his grandmother's, not to mention anything else, just the food in this Ding Mansion was delicious, and it made people forget to return.
This is the life of a rich and noble family!
What was it called before? At most, it was just survival, how could it be compared to a wealthy aristocrat like the Ding family?
The more Li Changfeng thought about it, the more angry he became, what kind of life did you say? Since he was born, he has never seen his father and mother, and when he was a child, he saw those children in the neighborhood who had a father and a mother's love, and that feeling in his heart......
And if it weren't for the hundred family meals from those people in the neighborhood, Li Changfeng would really not have grown up, although the food is far worse than what he eats in Ding Mansion now, but he can still live, right?
In this kind of troubled times, it would be good for the children of ordinary families to be able to live in peace and sound, let alone grow up! For example, Li Mang, the son of heaven in the Xi Dynasty today, is a real faint monarch, and compared with a few years ago, this thief emperor is more than twice as mediocre.
No, some time ago, I heard that within the scope of the direct jurisdiction of the dynasty, Li Mang forcibly conscripted hundreds of thousands of strong men to serve as soldiers, and I don't know what this dog emperor thinks, is it possible that he really wants to plunge the entire dynasty into a dire war in his lifetime?
Anyway, Li Changfeng doesn't have much leisure to take care of these things at all, and he can't worry about his own affairs, how can he have time to take care of others?
Just as Li Changfeng's thoughts were flying, a familiar voice slowly came from outside the door.
"Brother Li, are you awake? Ruonan, why are you here?"
The person who came was Ding Anlan, the head of the Ding family, these days, although Ding Anlan was very worried about Li Changfeng's injury, and personally asked the white-haired old man in the house, that is, Zhu Zhen, always asked when Li Changfeng would wake up.
But the answer Zhu Zhen gave him was still that one, Li Changfeng, this kid, would wake up in a few days.
His grandmother's, when is it? Could it be that he still wants Ding Anlan to wait? Wait for more than ten or twenty years, or decades or even half a lifetime?
However, this Ding Anlan also knows that as long as Li Changfeng is treated by Zhu Zhen, it will definitely be no big problem, but he can't help but be extremely anxious in this guy's heart, you know, Li Changfeng, this kid is his life-saving benefactor many times, if such a benefactor dies for no reason, then how can he be worthy of his conscience in the future?
But today, he Ding Anlan had nothing to do, so he wanted to come to the small courtyard where Li Changfeng lived to take a look, who knew that this look was not tight, and Li Changfeng, the kid, really woke up.
Good guy, Ding Anlan was so excited in his heart that he almost jumped up and hugged Li Changfeng and kissed him a few times.
Li Changfeng and Ding Ruonan turned their heads together, and after seeing that it was Ding Anlan walking towards him, Ding Ruonan suddenly jumped off the chair and directly hit the arm of the landlord Ding Anlan.
"Dad, why are you here?" Ding Ruonan's coquettish voice came.
Ding Anlan was also in a very good mood today, and couldn't help but stretch out his other hand and scratch Ding Ruonan's nose, and then said slowly: "If I don't come, how will I know that Brother Li has woken up?"
Before Ding Anlan could say his next words, Ding Ruonan here had already frowned and said, "Brother Li, Dad, he is just about the same age as me, what do you think of his seniority!"
Good guy, Li Changfeng is only eighteen years old, and he has already become a brother with his father in his forties? No matter how arrogant Ding Ruonan's temperament is, it seems that he has suffered a lot of grievances at this time.
If Li Changfeng and her father are really brothers, then when she sees Li Changfeng again in the future, she won't just call her "uncle......
Ding Ruonan was very angry.
Hearing Ding Ruonan complain like this, Ding Anlan just laughed and said: "Ruonan, when I was in Chucheng, if it weren't for Brother Li, I would have been killed by the enemy compared to my father, and the two of us are old friends, so don't get involved." ”
Li Changfeng only smiled slightly, and did not object.
Seeing the appearance of these two people, Ding Ruonan suddenly stomped his foot angrily, shook off Ding Anlan's arm vigorously, and ran out angrily.
"Brother Ding, Ruonan, she ......" Li Changfeng pointed in the direction where Ding Ruonan left, not knowing what to say.
Ding Anlan just smiled slightly, and said slowly: "It's nothing, Ruonan is this kind of character, just don't be surprised." ”
However, after thinking about it, Ding Anlan looked at the direction of his daughter's departure and couldn't help but fall into deep thought.
You must know that the current Ding Ruonan is already the same age as Li Changfeng, and the so-called female university is not retained, not to mention Ruonan's temperament, he can't keep it.
But when he glanced at Li Changfeng, who was sitting in the chair, Ding Anlan suddenly smiled again, if ...... Ahem, I mean, if Ruonan can really be with this young man, it won't be a good thing......
He knows Li Changfeng's character very well, and if his baby daughter can marry this kid, then he can be relieved.
Ahem, it's far away.
After Ding Anlan came back to his senses, he slowly walked in front of Li Changfeng and couldn't help asking, "Brother Li, are you feeling better?"
Li Changfeng smiled and said: "It's much better, in fact, it's also thanks to the white-haired doctor in your mansion, his medical skills are really good, and even my old illness has been cured of me." ”
The reason why Li Changfeng didn't say that the old man had cured the internal force in his body was not because he didn't trust Ding Anlan, but because he was lazy.
The kid didn't bother to explain.
If he told Ding Anlan like that, the head of the Ding family would definitely break the casserole and ask in the end, he Li Changfeng didn't have so much energy to talk to him about these things.
Of course, for the precious daughter of the head of the family, he has a lot of energy......
"That's good, since Brother Li, you have woken up, then I will have a big banquet tonight and celebrate all night in the entire Qiyang City, which can be regarded as picking up the wind and washing the dust for you, Brother Li. ”
"Brother Ding, this ......" Li Changfeng hurriedly wanted to refuse.
But before he finished speaking, Ding Anlan here had already continued: "It's nothing, this is what I should do, you must know that if it wasn't for you earlier, maybe my old life would have been thrown out a long time ago, how could I have a chance to come back?"
Good fellow, this rich man is rich! You can just make a whole city celebrate all night, and how much silver does it cost to spend on food and drink?
Li Changfeng was a little wooden for a while, and secretly said in his heart that Ding Anlan was generous.
"Since Brother Li, your injuries are much better, why don't you take a walk around the mansion with me?" After a while, Ding Anlan suddenly suggested.
Li Changfeng was idle, so he nodded slowly: "Okay." ”
The two walked out of the door side by side and came to the courtyard, at this time Li Changfeng suddenly found that the place where he lived was actually a small courtyard, the yard was covered with all kinds of exotic flowers and plants, and there was a small river, which flowed in from outside the courtyard and then to the outside of the courtyard.
I didn't expect the scenery of Dingfu to be so wonderful, it was really comparable to a fairyland. Li Changfeng clapped his hands again and again, and his expression was like Grandma Liu who had entered the Grand View Garden.
Hearing Li Changfeng's appreciation, Ding Anlan just waved his hand slightly, and said with a chuckle: "It's nothing, this is just the foundation laid down by our ancestors from generation to generation, if it weren't for the shade of our ancestors, how could our Ding family have this situation today?"
"Brother Ding, don't be humble here, don't say anything else, just because of our previous relationship, I know that you are a great talent, and your ancestors have shade, not to mention for the time being, if there is no you, I am afraid that this huge Ding family will not have today's situation!"
Ding Anlan just smiled and waved his hand, he neither admitted Li Changfeng's words, nor did he deny it.
Although he doesn't have any martial arts, even if he encounters ordinary people, he probably won't be able to beat him. But the talent for business lies in the talent, as early as when he was young, Ding Anlan's talent for business has been revealed, and he was only about ten years old at that time, which has already been praised by the older generation of people in the family.
Today, I don't know how many years have passed, if you only talk about business, I am afraid that the people in the world who can beat him can really be counted with one pair of hands.
Back then, that is, when Ding Anlan was only twenty years old, due to a huge change in the family, both parents were assassinated to death, and the Ding family at that time can be said to be in a dire predicament.
It was also at that time that he, Ding Anlan, relied on his talent in business to save the dying Ding family.
It can be said that he, Ding Anlan, is a genius who has not been born in the Ding family over the years, and the Ding family can have such a huge family property today, which is definitely the amount of hard work he has worked hard for.
In the final analysis, the ancestors just provided him with such a big shelf, and everything in it was continuously accumulated by him Ding Anlan with his own hands!
If it weren't for him Ding Anlan, the Ding family, the overlord of Qiyang City, would have disappeared in the long river of years.
The two walked side by side on the path, and after leaving the courtyard before Li Changfeng, they were greeted by a large bamboo forest that could not be seen at a glance.
The surprise in Li Changfeng's heart was indescribable, so he had to turn his head and look at Ding Anlan beside him, who just smiled slightly and said slowly: "Brother Li, this is the bamboo forest in the mansion, Ruonan once gave it a name, called 'Xiaojianghu', that girl liked to hide in the forest to play when she was young, and she is now eighteen years old, and she still likes to drill into the forest." Whenever the girl had a grievance, she would run to the bamboo forest alone, and when the anger in her heart was gone, she would go back. ”
Listening to Ding Anlan's description, a picture emerged in Li Changfeng's mind, that young girl, because of the premature death of her mother, whenever she had a grievance, she would run to this forest alone, talk to these emotionless bamboos, and then leave quietly, taking nothing with her, leaving nothing.
"Ruonan's mother...... When did you die?" Li Changfeng asked for no reason.
I saw that Ding Anlan's body, which had been walking forward, paused, his face was full of remorse, and said: "Ruonan was five and a half years old that year, because our Ding family had too many enemies, so a group of black-clothed people broke in that day, and it rained heavily that night, and Ruonan's mother was ...... by those people in order to protect her It's hurt. When I came back, Ruonan's lively and active personality also disappeared, and she became taciturn and depressed.
It took me five or six years after that incident to pull Ruonan out of her grief......"
After speaking, Ding Anlan sighed again, and melancholy arose spontaneously in his heart. He loved Ruonan's mother very much, which can be seen from the fact that he had never married a concubine in his life.
Li Changfeng felt as if he had asked the wrong topic, looked at Ding Anlan apologetically, and said slowly: "That...... I'm sorry, I shouldn't have asked about it. ”
Who knows, Ding Anlan just waved his hand slowly, and said lightly: "It's nothing, anyway, more than ten years have passed since that incident, and as far as I am concerned, the most important thing now is Ruonan, if that girl can be happy, I will be satisfied." ”
"Alas, why are you saying these unhappy words? Brother Li, you finally came to my Ding Mansion, today I will take you to take a good look at the beautiful scenery in this courtyard, I can tell you in advance, not to mention that in this Qiyang City, even in the entire Tianxi Dynasty, the courtyard scenery can compare to my Ding Mansion, and there are only those princes and nobles!"
After speaking, Ding Anlan took the lead, walked along the trail again, and after taking Li Changfeng around this small bamboo forest, the two came to a courtyard again.
As soon as he walked into the courtyard, Li Changfeng suddenly saw a huge stone arch, which was engraved with the three big characters of "Freehand Garden".
"Freehand Garden, what a chic name!" Li Changfeng couldn't help but praise.
Ding Anlan laughed and said: "What's so chic? Aren't they all unsightly remnants of flowers and willows? It's just a collection of these flowers and plants together, and it really can't compare to the words of those literati and sorcerers, such as 'the beautiful spring scenery, fluttering like a fairyland'." ”
Li Changfeng has a better and better impression of the head of the Ding family next to him, not to mention that he is a genius in business, and he has led the entire Ding family to the current situation alone, just this middle-aged man who is about forty years old has an indescribable charm on his body.
It's not that his martial arts are high, or how monstrous his power is. It's just that the closeness between Ding Anlan and people, coupled with the kind of temperament that everyone admires from the bottom of their hearts when they see it, has doubled the good feeling in Li Changfeng's heart.
After entering this freehand garden, there are thousands of strange flowers and plants that catch his eye, which is very different from the "broken flowers and lost willows" in Ding Anlan's mouth before.
"It's really a beautiful day, a beautiful scenery of a hundred flowers!" Li Changfeng couldn't help but let out a burst of admiration from the bottom of his heart.
He has lived for so long, but it is really the first time he has encountered such a beautiful scenery, first the bamboo sea in the yard before, and now the thousands of strange and rare flowers that come into view, if this is put in normal times, how can he have the opportunity to see it with his own eyes and feel it with his own eyes?
Li Changfeng couldn't help but be stunned.
