Chapter 6: The Stranger

"How much does this cost?"

Walking into the peach forest, through the peach forest, there are pavilions and pavilions with exquisite layouts along the way. There are also carefully trimmed garden nurseries, as well as rockery lotus ponds, and there are also Langfang carved fences and painted buildings on the lotus pond.

There are people hoeing and pruning in the peach forest, people are pulling weeds and fertilizing in the garden, the roads everywhere are clean, and the buildings you pass by are spotlessly clean.

Compared with the Peach Blossom Villa at the foot of Peach Blossom Mountain, the scale here is larger and more elegant.

Li Chenan was very impressed, thinking that this was really much stronger than the villa he was proud of in his previous life.

"There is no shortage of silver. ”

"Why?"

"First, the merchant is the Jiangnan family. His ancestral home is Pingjiang in the south of the Yangtze River, and his family runs a silk business. ”

"Second...... Merchants charge very expensive to compose music. ”

"How expensive?"

"A song of ten thousand gold!"

“......”

That's really expensive!

"If a good word wants to be praised in the world, either the word is really good and can not be included in the "Ning Poetry Collection of 100 Articles", or it needs to be sung from the Qinglou with an excellent song. ”

"Don't underestimate the Qinglou, after all, the people who can go to the Qinglou are rich people. ”

"This rich man can basically read and write, and he prefers to be half a bucket of water, so he prefers vassal elegance. ”

"Once they have good lyrics and songs, they will be complacent to show off, especially the songs of businessmen, which can become their bragging capital. ”

This is the reason why the music of the merchants is very expensive, of course, there are exceptions, that is, if the words are really good, the merchants are even willing to compose music for them for free. ”

"For example, your song "Butterfly Loves Flowers", he didn't take a penny. ”

This businessman is very good, and he doesn't pit the poor.

The three of them walked all the way to a lotus pond, and saw a pretty woman coming towards them.

She stood in front of the three of them, said a thousand blessings, and asked softly: "Dare to ask the three if there is an invitation from the head of the family?"

Li Chenan shook his head: "I heard the name of the businessman, and came to visit on purpose, but it was a little abrupt, and I asked the girl to inform the businessman." ”

The girl frowned slightly, because the head of the house liked to be quiet and did not like to entertain guests.

If you don't have an invitation from the head of the house, you will usually not be received by the head of the house.

But Ming'er will hold the Dragon Boat Festival here, and I think these two teenagers should be students who participated in the meeting.

Then go and report to the head of the house.

"Dare to ask your son's surname?"

"Under Li Chen'an, this is Su Muxin Su Gongzi. ”

Obviously, the girl hadn't heard the name Li Chen'an, because she looked at Su Muxin in a blink of an eye, and there was even a little surprise on her face:

"Su Gongzi, the head of the four great talents in Kyoto?"

Li Chenan was a little embarrassed, this guy is really famous!

"It's down there. ”

"Master Su, wait a minute, I'll go and report to the head of the family!"

The girl turned around and left happily, Su Muxin looked at Li Chenan and smiled proudly: "So, fame is still very important!"

"! No matter how famous you are, you're not the shopkeeper of my tavern!"

Su Muxin's whole person is not good.

He glared at Li Chen'an, "Do you think this son is willing!"

"Tough again! Tough again, little uncle!"

“......”

Su Muxin shut up, took a deep breath, and looked at the lotus pond to calm his extremely uncomfortable mood.

The three of them were waiting silently, and the girl ran into a water pavilion in the backyard, saluted Shang Di, who was burning incense, and said happily: "Master of the house, there are three people outside who want to see." ”

Shang Di held a stick of sandalwood in his hand and circled it in the air before carefully inserting it into the exquisite incense burner on the table, "The old man is not a guest today, let them go back." ”

“...... The head of the family, the two teenagers, one is Su Muxin from Kyoto, and the other is called Li Chen'an. ”

Shang Di raised his eyes and looked at the maid, with a hint of doubt in his eyes, the girl thought that the name Su Muxin had touched the head of the family, but she didn't expect that Shang Di was stunned because of the name Li Chen'an.

"You say...... There's a boy named Li Chen'an?"

"Yes, he said his name is Li Chen'an. ”

Shang Di pondered for a moment, "Qiu Ju, you go and invite them in, Chunlan, take the old man's pot of Mao Feng and cook a pot of tea for the guests." ”

"Slaves obey!"

Qiu Ju turned around and left this water pavilion, feeling a little strange in her heart, because the head of the family changed his mind not because of Su Muxin Su Gongzi, but because of the little-known young man named Li Chen'an.

Why is that?

So what is so special about Li Chenan?

She came to the lotus pond in the front yard again, and this time took a closer look at Li Chenan.

Except that this boy was born quite well, there really doesn't seem to be anything special about it.

She looked at Su Muxin again, thinking that Su Gongzi was better looking, and Su Gongzi's temperament should be stronger.

As for Wu Xichen behind the two, he was wearing a hat, carrying a sword, and dressed as a martial artist, she thought it was the guardian of a certain son's family.

"The head of the house has invited three of them, and three of them are invited to go to the Tinglan Water Pavilion with the slaves and maids. ”

......

......

The so-called Tinglan refers to the beautiful flowers that bloom at the water's edge, and also describes a person's character as noble as an orchid.

It's a small lake.

The Tinglan Pavilion was built on top of the lake, connected to the shore by a corridor.

There are many peach trees planted on the shore, and there are also a lot of bluegrass planted among the peach trees.

Chunlan has been thanked, Huilan is blooming just right, and Jianlan has also budded.

There was a faint smell of orchids wafting through the air.

This businessman is a particular person!

Traveling all the way from the island to this is enough to see the high taste of this businessman.

So what exactly is this person?

When the three of them stepped into this Tinglan Water Pavilion, Li Chenan saw the slightly emaciated but energetic old man standing inside.

He was dressed in plain linen.

Has gray hair.

Both eyebrows are also gray, and a few of them are very long.

He is an old man here, and he thinks he is a businessman.

But at this moment, Shang Di's gaze only swept over Li Chen'an and Su Muxin's faces, and his gaze fell on Wu Xichen's face.

He smiled and shook his head: "I haven't seen you for sixteen years, and I thought you were dead." ”

Wu Xichen took off his hat and threw it on a desk casually.

"You're not dead, how dare I die? But I chose the cemetery on Peach Blossom Mountain. ”

"Well, I have also chosen the cemetery on Peach Blossom Island. ”

Saying this, Shang Di looked at Li Chenan and Su Muxin again, "Who of you is Li Chenan?"

Only then did Li Chenan know that the master and the businessman were so familiar with each other, and he knew that he would invite the master to come out in this way, wouldn't this matter be done?

He bowed:

"The junior is Li Chen'an!"

Shang Di's gaze fell on Li Chen'an's face, and after a while, he nodded: "Old man Hua said that you are the most talented teenager he has ever seen!"

"The old man has also seen the song "Butterfly Love Flowers" you made. ”

"Good!"

"You may be seated!"

"Chunlan, serve tea!"
