Chapter 001: The Owner of the Farm (1)
Bai Luoshang took Duan Nanshan's letter, walked through the streets and alleys, inquired about many people, and walked for a long time before finding the "Suiyuan" mentioned in the letter.
The red old red gate, the purple and green ebony plaque above is a little painted, the word "with the courtyard" has faded due to age, it looks like an old mansion that has been aged for a few years, it has been a little longer, but it has not lost its atmosphere and pride.
On the columns on both sides of the gate, there is a pair of bluestone couplets, the inscription of the dragon flying and the phoenix dancing: "three feet of blue sky and one zhang sword;
After reading the couplet, Bai Luoshang couldn't help but think:
The owner of this courtyard must be a heroic and victorious man.
I knocked on the door, and after a while, I saw a twelve or thirteen-year-old boy open half of the door, leaned out half of his body, looked at the person with a slight smile outside the door, and looked cautiously before asking, "Who are you?"
Bai Luoshang pointed to his nose with a grin, and smiled crookedly: "I should be a guest." ”
Where is there a person who calls himself a guest, and what if others do not welcome him?
Bai Luoshang is really a cheeky person.
Cheeky people are often undesirable, so his first impression of the boy is that he is a very annoying person.
The little boy frowned.
Generally speaking, people who love to laugh will always give others a very good impression, but Bai Luosheng has a very bad impression on the little boy, which makes the little boy immediately disgusted with Bai Luoshang, once he hates a person, his tone of voice will become very bad. So, I only heard the little boy say in a bad tone: "Who are you looking for?"
Bai Luoshang said with a smile: "Since I knocked on this door, I am naturally looking for the person in this door." ”
The kid had two punching mustaches, like two brooms, dressed in blue, and a pair of aura eyes that kept turning around.
After listening to Bai Luosheng's words, the little boy frowned obviously, and then asked again very seriously and seriously, "Who are you looking for?"
is young, but his words and demeanors reveal an age beyond his age, and his sneaky eyes seem to say, if you don't answer me seriously, I'll close the door.
Bai Luoshang felt funny, and had the intention to tease the child, and said, "I'm here to knock on this door, of course, to find someone who can be the master in this courtyard." Will if I knock on this door, will I still look for the man outside this door? Who is in charge of your courtyard? and tell him to come out to me. ”
The little boy stared at a pair of big eyes, and asked in a fierce tone, "Are you looking for a housekeeper?"
Bai Luoshang said curiously: "Is it true that all the affairs of your mansion are in charge of your housekeeper?"
The little boy pursed his lips and said, "It depends on what is going on." ”
Bai Luoshang held his chin and thought for a moment: "What if it's a trivial matter, who is in charge?"
The little boy said with a straight face: "Ordinary little things are taken care of by the housekeeper. ”
Bai Luoshang said again: "What if it's a little bigger than an ordinary trivial matter?"
"Matters that are a little bigger than ordinary things are also in the steward's charge. The little boy looked at Bai Luoshang with some impatience, and was annoyed by his roundabout way of speaking.
Compared with the little boy's chagrin, Bai Luoshang looked helpless: "Then what is it that your housekeeper can't manage?"
Again, the little boy said, "You have to tell me what it is." ”
After going around so much, I went around again.
Bai Luoshang chuckled twice, a little embarrassed: "How do you say it? My business is not big, and it is not small to say that it is small." ”
Glancing at the child who was sandwiched between himself in the crack of the door, Bai Luoshang smiled again: "My business has to be said in the general direction, it is a matter of life." ”
"Oh, our housekeeper can't be the master of this matter, since it is a life-threatening matter, you better go to the yamen, this matter is in their charge. The little boy waved his hand at Bai Luosheng and said, "You go to the right, the county government is over there, you can find out if you ask casually on the street." ”
Bai Luoshang was actually a little speechless, and he was speechless about the little boy's words.
The little boy looked at Bai Luosheng, who didn't say anything more, and was about to close the door, but before the door was closed, Bai Luoshang stretched out his hand to resist it.
"What the hell are you doing?" the little boy glared at Bai Luoshang menacingly, and pushed the door hard, but how could his strength be able to defeat Bai Luosheng. The door didn't close, and his face turned red first.
Bai Luoshang raised his chin and said with a loud smile: "I'm not looking for your housekeeper, I'm here to find your master." ”
The little boy held on to the door, "In that case, why didn't you say it at first?" ”
If you have to talk so much nonsense, is this person so fond of talking nonsense?
Bai Luoshang laughed: "I just said that I was looking for the head of the family, but you didn't understand." ”
The little boy narrowed his eyes and said in a heavy tone: "Just wait here, I'll help you spread the word and see if the head of the family wants to see you." ”
After speaking, he prepared to close the door again.
Bai Luoshang leaned against the door and said with a smile: "You just left me outside?"
The little boy frowned, staring at Bai Luoshang with a wary face, as if staring at a bad person, and the hair on his whole body stood up.
Bai Luoshang really wanted to pinch the little boy's hair with his hand, he thought that if he really did this, the child would definitely jump up and bite himself, looking at the little ghost's face full of vigilance, Bai Luoshang couldn't help but laugh: "You don't invite me in?"
The little boy stretched out his hand to push Bai Luoshang away, and said angrily: "Why did you let you in? I don't even know your details, what if you are a bad person?"
Bai Luoshang pointed to his nose and asked, "I look like a bad person?"
"Anyway, it's not like a good person, let you wait, if you don't like to wait, please wait, the head of the house doesn't meet guests casually. As he spoke, he waved his hand and sent people out, "If you want to wait, wait outside." ”
Hearing this, Bai Luoshang felt a little unhappy in her heart, and thought, could it be that the owner of this courtyard is not only heroic and victorious, but also very high-minded?
However, since ancient times, there have been three, six, nine and so on, and rich families are more arrogant than ordinary people.
Seeing that the little boy was about to cover the door again, Bai Luoshang was helpless, so he hurriedly shouted: "I'm looking for Duan Nanshan, is he in your mansion?"
As soon as he heard Duan Nanshan's name, the little boy stopped his hand, tilted his head, looked at Bai Luoshang carefully, then opened the door, turned sideways and said, "So, son, please come in." ”
The change in the little boy's attitude made Bai Luoshang sigh for a while.
He never expected that Duan Nanshan's face in this courtyard would be so big, and he would have known that he would have said that he was looking for Duan Nanshan from the beginning.
Following behind and walking in, Bai Luoshang couldn't help but look left and right again.
The big families are different, everywhere is extraordinary, and what you see when you enter the door is full of greenery.
The scenery layout of the front yard has a different flavor, green bamboo and green willows, water pavilions, flying flowers, aroma and wind, elegant and refined.
Located in the downtown area, it can be such a dusty place, which can't help but make Bai Luoshang curious, what kind of characters live here.
Looking at the construction of this courtyard, that person must be an elegant and beautiful gentleman from the world.
I don't know how many times Zhuangzi went in and out, in short, he followed the little boy for a long time and didn't arrive.
Bai Luoshang couldn't help but laugh secretly in his heart, he really couldn't understand why those rich people liked to build their houses so big, and it took a long time to walk from the door to the living room.
There are many rooms, deep yards, crooked corridors, but not many people, will it feel comfortable to live in such a house?
When walking through the inner courtyard, Bai Luoshang couldn't help but stop.
The inner courtyard is not very large, there is a lotus pond, a group of low rockeries and a pavilion, and there is a flat land not far away, which seems to be an open space for martial arts training.
It's just that this kind of scenery doesn't attract Bai Luosheng's attention, and it is the people in the pavilion who make him stop.
In the pavilion, a man stood with his hands in his hands, a purple embroidered robe with flowing and delicate embroidery, covered with a layer of light and transparent white gauze, mopping the floor. The black jade green silk is tied up with a black forged head, with a chic appearance and extraordinary bearing, like an outsider who does not touch the smoke and dust.
"Who is this person?" Bai Luoshang asked curiously, holding the little boy curiously, his eyes filled with childish curiosity.
"My master. When the little boy saw his master, his eyes became extraordinarily reverent and adoring.
According to the introduction of the little boy, this son's name is Lin Anwei, nineteen years old, but he is also a well-known figure in the rivers and lakes. This son is not only proficient in astronomy, geography and history, but also proficient in poetry, calligraphy, piano and chess. He is not in business or in office, but he has a good land and a lot of property. Staying at home, but knowing the big and small things in the world.
There is such a person in the rivers and lakes who is almost perfect, only nineteen years old, but with such an achievement, Bai Luoshang is inevitably a little surprised, and after searching hard in his mind for a long time, after all, he can't remember that there is such a name in the rivers and lakes.
It's normal that he hasn't heard of it, the rivers and lakes are so big, and there are so many people in the rivers and lakes, how can he have heard of every name and every character.
With a turn of thought, Bai Luoshang took out a copper coin from his pocket, flicked his fingers, and the small copper coin was silent, with a hint of wind, and flew straight towards Lin An.
Although the copper coin is small, the strength is very large, and the speed is also extremely fast, and it is about to hit the beam and pillar on Lin Anwei's side in a blink of an eye.
The small copper coin crossed the air, and I saw Lin Anwei raise his left hand, and his index finger and middle finger had firmly clamped the copper coin.
Seeing that person's reaction was so fast, Bai Luoshang was a little interested in getting acquainted, and thought to himself, he would definitely find a chance to have two more tricks with this person later.
"Why don't you leave?" the little boy slammed into Bai Luo's clothes.
"Where are you going?" Bai Luoshang looked at him inexplicably, pointed to the people under the gazebo, and said, "Aren't I just looking for your master." ”
The little boy frowned and said, "Didn't you come to find Daoist Ziyun?"
Bai Luoshang nodded: "Yes, it's right that I'm here to find Duan Nanshan, but before that, shouldn't I be more polite to meet the owner of this courtyard?"
The little boy grabbed Bai Luoshang and said angrily: "Not now, you have to go to the living room to stay first, and wait for me to inform the master, and he agrees with you." ”
Bai Luoshang didn't say more, but she was funny in her heart, separated by a wall, she still needs to be notified and approved?
Therefore, this rich family's Fan Wenyi is very troublesome.
