The old man is dressed simply, but his facial features are very kind, which makes him feel very comfortable at first glance, as if he is the grandfather of his neighbor.
"Is it Mr. Li?" the old man asked softly, very politely.
"Yes, I was invited by Mr. Meng to come to the appointment." Li Jin said politely.
The old man smiled slightly and glanced at Li Jin because of his elegance. Then he turned sideways and raised his hand to lead him into the courtyard and said, "The master has been waiting for a long time. Please come in with me, Mr. Li."
"Please ask the old man to lead the way." Li Jin said with a smile.
Nodding, the old man led the way with a smile on his face, and Li Jin followed him into the courtyard.
As soon as you enter the courtyard, you feel as if you have entered another world instantly. The courtyard is full of flowers and shaded by trees. Walking along the quaint corridor, you can still hear the sound of the clear spring flowing under your feet.
Isolated from the hustle and bustle of the outside world, it is like stepping from a bustling city and a concrete forest to a paradise deep in the green mountains and sparkling clear water.
After walking for two or three minutes, Li Jin saw a tall and burly middle-aged man in a pavilion in a courtyard.
This man was wearing casual clothes and was looking at him with a smile.
No need to ask, this person is naturally the real pillar of the Meng family. Even Su Dongsheng was in awe when he mentioned the previous head of the Meng family, Meng Shanling.
"Li Jin?"
"Mr. Meng."
The two looked at each other and smiled, feeling a little sympathetic.
"Come, please sit down." Meng Shanling invited Li Jin to sit down.
"This is a place that I designed and built privately. It is a quiet place to relax when I take a break from my busy schedule. It is not open to the public. You are the first outsider who has been here so far. How do you think?"
After the two separated the host and guest and sat down, Meng Shanling smiled at Li Jin.
"This place is very unique." Li Jin looked at the surrounding environment and admired it.
No wonder a so-called teahouse doesn't even have a signboard. It's just a place opened by the boss for his own enjoyment.
If we talk about how to spend money, it’s the older generation who know how to play.
Ordinary children from rich families cannot afford to buy a lot of luxury goods, such as a villa, a luxury car and a yacht.
But look at something like Mengshanling. The entire courtyard is directly in the downtown area. Once the gate is closed, it is like a miniature version of the Peach Blossom Land.
Meng Shanling chuckled lightly and said: "People, in the beginning, they all strive for money, career and status. Once they have achieved certain results, they have to enjoy life, otherwise they can earn so much money and strive for such a high status.
, what’s the point?”
"Mr. Meng's great respect, your words touched my heart." Li Jin said with a smile.
At this time, the old man who had brought Li Jin to Meng Shanling and left came back. He came over with a tea set, lit a stick of incense, and started making tea without saying a word.
"Tea Ceremony, Tea Ceremony, if tea can be called Tao, it must have its roots."
"Take leaves as tea, and use tea to enter the Tao. Li Jin, please try this cup of tea."
With that said, Meng Shanling suddenly took action personally and brought a cup of tea to Li Jin.
This action made the old man who was making tea raise his eyelids and glance at Meng Shanling in surprise. Perhaps because of the shock, his palms that were as steady as a mountain trembled.
He has been following Meng Shanling for thirty years. He even watched Meng Yehe grow up. His surname is Qin, and Meng Yehe always calls him Grandpa Qin.
But in such a long relationship between master and servant, he had never seen Meng Shanling treat a person like this.
