Chapter 410 Changchun Returns to Spring
After hearing this, Shen Zhui
Just when I was about to go out and check it out in person, I didn't expect that the other party had already barged in.
The leader is a boy of eleven or twelve years old, dressed luxuriously and with a proud expression. Behind him is a woman, tall and with a cold expression. She carries a long sword on her back and a short knife on her waist. It seems that she should be the boy's personal bodyguard. Again Behind him were a dozen people who looked like servants, running closely behind him. It seemed that if he went a little slower, he would be thrown away by his master.
The young man walked into the Wu Family Courtyard unscrupulously, his eyes roving around, and he saw Shen Zhuixing in the crowd at a glance. He twisted his waist and hips slightly, but did not see how much force he exerted. He was like a cheetah, and he rushed over in the air. .
Shen Zhuixing did not dodge, but took two steps forward, left the crowd, and faced the young man head-on.
That year, Shen Zhuixing made a somersault in the air, cheered, and hugged Shen Zhuixing when his feet landed lightly.
"Good brother, I found you this time. I went to the capital to look for you, so I went to Qingliang Mountain to ask the master, and that's when I found out you were here." The young man said affectionately.
Shen Zhui What are you doing here?"
That young man was the former Xiaomao of Qingliang Temple, but now he is the legitimate Lord of Shajiabao, Sha Shengbang.
Qunqiu punched Shen Zhuixing hard on the shoulder: "You left me alone in Sichuan and went to the rivers and lakes to call the wind and rain. Now you go to Xunxian Island, and now you sneak to North Korea. There are so many interesting places. You didn’t take me there, but you asked me what I was doing!”
This is Li Wuqing, the personal guard of the Sha Sheng Gang, Flying Leopard General, coming over.
Shen Zhuixing smiled and said, "This kid is running around, and you don't care about him."
Li Wuqing glanced at Shen Zhuixing coldly and did not answer.
He couldn't help but said, "You can't blame her for this, and she can't go against what I said. Besides, have you forgotten what you promised me?"
Shen Zhui You go, there’s nothing going on lately anyway, I’m just here to spare my time.”
Qiu Bu was immediately overjoyed. He put his arms around Shen Zhuixing's shoulders and said, "This is my good big brother!"
Shen Zhuixing took the opportunity to briefly introduce Sha Shengbang to everyone in the Wu family, saying that he was a friend of his for many years.
Qiu Bu doesn't have any feelings for others, but he seems to be particularly interested in Wu Daidai, the second daughter of the Wu family.
Since they were about the same age, Wu Daidai naturally paid attention to this strange but elegant young man. However, the girl's reserve made her pretend to be dismissive of the request. She snorted on purpose, puffed up her chest, and turned around. go.
At this moment, the steward of the Li Mansion came back here with the people just now. This time his attitude was not as arrogant as before. The steward of the Li Mansion politely handed Wu Shoubai a famous assassin and invited Mr. Wu to go to the Li Mansion to discuss.
Wu Daidai angrily said to her father: "If you don't go and talk to that playboy Li Jingfang, what's the point?"
Wu Shoubai whispered: "The person who invited me for an interview was not Li Jingfang, but the actual controller of the Li Mansion, Li Jingfang's stepmother, Mrs. Li."
Lian Chengbi also said to Wu Qingqing beside him: "Things have to be resolved, so it's better to go there. I heard that Mrs. Li is very kind, but I'm really worried. I can accompany Master."
Wu Qingqing nodded and said: "Senior Brother is right, then Senior Brother Lao is the one to ask. In addition, we have to ask my father for his opinion."
Although he was accompanied by Liancheng Bi, Wu Shoubai still felt unsure, so he said to the housekeeper of the Li family: "I can go, but I have to take a few more people with me."
The housekeeper of the Li Mansion agreed: "Of course, no problem, everyone can go. Although our wife doesn't often see foreign guests, she still respects the Wu family very much."
Of course Wu Shoubai hopes that Shen Zhuixing will accompany him. At this moment, he is full of confidence in Shen Zhuixing. Wu Daidai, the second daughter of Wujiang, also insists on following. Of course, Mr. Wu will not refuse. Father and daughter are connected!
But the most unimaginable thing is that the Sha Sheng Gang insists on following Shen Zhuixing. His reason is very simple. He finally found Shen Zhuixing and was worried that he would leave him and run away.
Shen Zhuixing didn't know whether to laugh or cry, so he had no choice but to follow.
Who knew that Li Qingqing would never leave? Sha Sheng Bangqi said: "I am with him, is there any danger?"
Only then did Li Qingwu speak: "He said that he wanted me to follow you every step of the way. I swore an oath." He pointed at Shen Zhuixing with his hand.
There was no other way, so a group of six people went to Li's house.
The three people in front are Wu Shoubai's disciple Lian Chengbi and his second daughter Wu Daidai.
The next three are naturally Shen Zhuixing, Qiu Bu and Li Wuqing.
The Wu Family is located in the north of Zhenjiang City, close to the Yangtze River, and the Li Family House is located in the south of Zhenjiang City.
Half an hour later, everyone was invited into the living room of the Li Mansion. Mrs. Li personally received everyone. The annoying Li Jingfang was not present.
As the actual controller of the Li Mansion, Mrs. Li's appearance and age are truly outstanding.
Mrs. Li has a beautiful face, elegant temperament, fair and shiny skin, and a faint medicinal fragrance, which makes people intoxicated. However, there always seems to be an unbreakable melancholy between her eyebrows, which matches her That delicate and even slightly skinny figure makes people feel pity for her. Anyone who meets her for the first time can't help but feel a desire to protect her. This feeling makes Shen Zhuixing seem familiar.
The most surprising thing is that Nian is only twenty-five or six years old.
Ten years ago, Mrs. Li, who was fifteen or sixteen years old, married to Zhenjiang from the south and became Mr. Li's second wife. However, within half a year, Mr. Li suddenly died of illness, leaving behind her teenage sons Li Jingfang and Li Jingfang, who were also ten years old. The second wife who is many years old.
Mrs. Li had no heirs and wanted to treat Li Jingfang as her biological son. However, because they were similar in age and Li Jingfang's biological mother died early, once his father passed away, Li Jingfang became disobedient and became lawless in the house. Therefore, Mrs. Li There is nothing you can do, just let it be.
After tea and greetings, Mrs. Li asked the housekeeper to bring out a tray with an envelope on it.
The housekeeper handed the envelope to Wu Shoubai. Wu Shoubai opened it and saw that it was the document he signed when he borrowed the money, as well as the deeds to his three gardens.
Mrs. Li explained apologetically: "A few days ago, Princess Yilun married Dong Guogong Li Jinglong. After the marriage, the princess began to get tired of life in the capital. However, because she cared about her brother Jianwen Emperor Zhu Yunwen and did not want to be too far away from the capital, Li Jinglong made plans to stay in Zhenjiang. The task of building a separate courtyard for the princess naturally fell on the dog son Li Jingfang..."
"Jingfang searched all over Zhenjiang City, but there was no suitable place. At that time, Mr. Wu's business had some problems... Alas, in short, it was Jingfang's fault. He should not have taken advantage of others. Now that the property has returned to its original owner, please return it. Mr. Wu, Mr. Wu, forgives Quanzi for what he did..." Mrs. Li bowed to everyone and said a deep blessing.
Shen Zhuixing had mixed feelings in his heart.
She really wanted to leave the capital and go far away, but Princess Yi Lun was still involved in this matter. For a moment, Zhu Yunzhen's happy and angry appearance appeared in front of Shen Zhuixing, and Shen Zhuixing couldn't help but feel a little pain in his heart.
Mrs. Li's move made everyone immediately have a good impression of her. For her sake, and knowing the cause and effect of the matter, everyone no longer resented Li Jingfang's despicable methods.
When Wu Shoubai took back the papers and house deeds and asked how to return the silver, Mrs. Li suddenly said: "Now that everything has happened, you all know the cause and effect of this matter. I wonder if I can make a suggestion?"
"Of course. Is there anything that can't be said in person?"
"Mr. Wu, can you please reconsider? You can keep all of the five million taels of silver. I only want one of the three gardens. This will allow me to live up to my trust and help the princess find a safe place here." A place to rest?”
"Oh, which garden did the princess fall in love with?" Wu Shoubai's three gardens are "Changchun Garden", "Xichun Garden" and "Guichun Garden". Due to the need to build a fragrant vinegar shop, Xichun Garden He Guichun Garden has now become the workshop of Hengshun Vinegar Industry.
Mrs. Li's understanding and kind-heartedness deeply moved Mr. Wu. Now that the other party wanted to buy one of his properties at a price double the actual price, Wu Shoubai was immediately moved and thought if it really happened By completing this transaction, we not only gained a lot, but also did not offend the Li family. After all, they are all in Zhenjiang.
"Is it Changchun Garden?" Wu Shoubai asked proactively.
You must know that Changchun Garden is the largest among the three gardens and has the best scenery. It comes from the place where Mr. Wu often painted with Zhenjiang literati. And the most important thing is that it has not been converted into a workshop for making balsamic vinegar.
This place is most suitable as a temporary residence for the princess. No major modifications are needed to accommodate the princess.
As for the silver, Wu Shoubai secretly calculated that receiving five million taels of silver was too much, so he would just return one million taels when settling the bill.
"It's not Changchun Garden. The place the princess likes is where Guichun Garden is."
"What?" Mrs. Li's answer surprised Wu Shoubai.
Guichun Garden is the smallest of the three gardens, and it is also closest to the north and closest to the Yangtze River.
"Why is it so unfortunate that it is here?" Wu Shoubai thought to himself, and then asked Mrs. Li: "Can it be replaced by two other gardens?"
