Shen Lie didn't go in, not wanting to disturb others too much, so he and Dai Yu led their horses to the other side of the peach grove.
Du Xuan knocked on the door with the gifts they bought when they passed by the market this morning.
The furnishings in the courtyard were simple and simple, and the venue was open. The couple had become accustomed to having guests visiting them in the past few days, so they were not surprised. The reception was not enthusiastic, but they still brewed a pot of good Mingqian tea and brought it to them.
The river breeze carried the morning mist, soft and moist, and sticky. Dai Yu took out a piece of dry food from his baggage and walked over and handed it to Shen Lie, "Master, I almost forgot that I haven't eaten anything this morning."
Shen Lie took it, looked down at the dry food, raised his head and said, "I don't feel hungry at all."
"Hey, young master, you are fed by lovesickness." Dai Yu said.
"..."
Shen Lie took a bite of the dry food and looked into the distant blue sky. A few peach petals fell down and fell on his shoulders. The hanging black hair of his ponytail was picked up by the river wind upstream, and was brushed from behind to his shoulders. Peach blossoms are falling.
All the rare tranquility.
At this time, they heard the sound of footsteps, and Shen Lie and Dai Yu turned to look.
When Liu Xianbao came down from the top, it was hard not to notice the two men standing here, especially this young boy with handsome appearance and cold demeanor. Standing there was the young master from a wealthy family. Liu Xianbao couldn't help but take a few more glances.
When he came closer, Dai Yu said suddenly, "That's a good roar, it's quite loud!"
Liu Xianbao frowned, "What are you yelling about?"
Dai Yu laughed and said, "Brother, do you like that girl that much?"
"The girl I like is the best in the world, and anyone would like her." Liu Xianbao said. Although his words were harsh, he was also worried about Dai Yu's strong body and didn't want to stay any longer, so he quickened his pace.
"Then does she like you?"
"If she likes me, why do I need to shout here?" Liu Xianbao curled his lips aggrievedly, "She doesn't even want to talk to me."
"Then where is she now?"
"Aunt Liu said she went back to her hometown. Her hometown is in Zhaozhou, which is far away," Liu Xianbao said, suddenly frowning in displeasure, raising his head and glaring at Dai Yu, "Why am I telling you so much? You just laughed at me and didn't tell me Already."
As he said that, he couldn't help but look at the pretty face next to him.
He is really good-looking, just like a man from a picture book.
Shen Lie didn't pay much attention to him. Hearing that she didn't even want to talk to him, Shen Lie looked away.
In the distance, fishermen's songs were rising, and there were shouts to greet travelers from the north and south. The sun gradually became brighter, and the feeling of humidity in the air dissipated.
After a long time, Du Xuan finally came back, "It's done, Master, the house deed and land deed will be handed over this afternoon."
"How much silver?" Dai Yu asked.
"The couple looked simple, but they probably saw that we really wanted the house, so they sat down and raised the price. They initially said 50 taels, and I agreed, but in the end they had to pay 80 taels."
"Eighty taels is not expensive," Shen Lie said.
"They don't know that we are helping them, but they still blackmail people like this." Dai Yu said somewhat uncomfortable.
"It seems that we don't need our help very much," Du Xuan said. "Ah Li seems to have told Qingque Pavilion before leaving, and asked them to help and keep an eye on it. There shouldn't be any big problems."
"Having said that, we still have good intentions and can help them solve their troubles completely, right?"
Du Xuan took a deep breath and looked at Shen Lie, "Master, I'm going back to the city now. I'm going to find someone to deal with the land deed. I'll be back as soon as possible before noon."
"Okay, be more careful on the road."
"Yes!" Du Xuan nodded, took the horse and turned to leave. As if thinking of something, he turned back and said, "By the way, Ah Li seems to have returned to Liling. She has lived here for less than four months. It seems that I came here to look for someone."
Shen Lie was not in a hurry about this, and wanted to wait until he came back before asking, but after hearing this, he said, "Who are you looking for?"
"There was an old man, I don't know who he was. When the couple saw the old man, both of their eyes were blue. I heard it was Ah Li who beat him..."
Shen Lie raised his eyebrows, "Ali hit someone?"
"right……"
Shen Lie nodded, "Maybe he should be beaten."
"Uh, well..."
"I found it, so I left," Shen Lie said, "and we happened to miss it."
"No, no, no," Du Xuan said hurriedly, "Master, it is fate that we found ourselves here."
"Have I never said that missing it for a moment means missing out?" Shen Lie said.
"Well……"
"Come on, hurry up," Dai Yu shouted, "Go early and come back early. I'll stay with the young master for a while."
·
Du Xuan went very quickly, and it was easy for him to find the manpower. He has specialized in this content over the years and is very skilled.
Then he went to buy goods and bought some things to give to his neighbors.
Shen Lie and Dai Yu stayed in the peach forest for a while, then led the horses and walked along the river bank to the mountains.
The wind was gentle and smooth, and he walked slowly. He met many farmers along the way, and they couldn't help but look at him sideways when they saw him.
Shen Lie's gaze and consideration of these people were not gentle, but he was not indifferent or distant either.
After Du Xuan finished handling these matters, it was still very early in the morning. Shen Lie did not need the original household owners to move out immediately, but because they had just moved in not long ago, they had not moved their things back. After receiving the money, they immediately packed up and left.
There is nothing in the empty house, surrounded by peach blossoms and the sound of gurgling water, which is quite peaceful.
It was not until dusk that the things Du Xuan purchased were delivered. They were all done by skilled hands. The master bedroom, study room, and guest room were all decorated properly.
However, Shen Lie did not sleep here that night, but went to find an inn in the city.
The next two days were like this. During the day, I came here to visit the mountains and rivers, randomly look for farmhouses, eat some dishes cooked by the owner, and then returned to the city in the evening.
It is rare to have a leisurely life, and it is even so comfortable that one does not want to go back to Guangzhui to face the chaos and storms.
On the third day, I have to go back after all.
Du Xuan left the house to Aunt Liu to take care of and take care of. She only needs to clean it every three days. He will send someone over every month to settle wages for Aunt Liu.
Aunt Liu was overjoyed. She had lost a lot of income before Miss Xia moved away, but now she has made up for it again.
Du Xuan also left a contact address for Aunt Liu, which was Zhaotong Bank in Nan'an County, Muzhou.
She used to run a bank, no wonder she was so rich. Aunt Liu carefully kept the address and said that if anything happened, she would contact her as soon as possible.
Du Xuan also told her that she could not tell others about this matter. If anyone came here looking for her, they would say they did not know and would only say that the house had been bought.
Aunt Liu already knew in her heart that neither Miss Xia nor Mr. Shen in front of her were ordinary people, so she nodded repeatedly and took notes.
That night, Shen Lie rushed back to Guangzhui. Ji Lingde had been buried and the murderer had not yet been found. At the same time, something happened that almost pushed the entire Guangzhui to catastrophe.
