Chapter five hundred and forty-six good deeds and gifts
Crossing the Baokangmen and heading north, after walking for a while, we saw a temple.
"Daxiangguo Temple?"
Chu Feng suddenly stopped and looked forward. At this time, the front gate of the temple was bustling with activity, with countless pilgrims coming and going without interruption.
"It's still early. If the young master is interested in Xiangguo Temple, you might as well go in and have a look." Feng Quan'er, the young man from Yaxing, suggested. Since the two left Zhiweixuan, Fang Fang took the initiative to introduce his situation without reservation.
Including name, family, etc.
"Is this place always like this?"
"It's less, but the difference is not big." Feng Quan'er nodded, and then said,
"There is a chrysanthemum garden in Xiangguo Temple. It is the season when the chrysanthemums are in full bloom. Many scholars and pilgrims will come to enjoy it. Therefore, it is even more lively than usual."
Chu Feng pondered slightly, but his consciousness quickly let go and probed towards the interior of the temple.
"Um?"
At this time, inside the Daxiangguo Temple, somewhere in a remote Zen room, an old monk with white eyebrows suddenly opened his eyes, as if he had been awakened by something, and his expression changed drastically.
"Master..."
A young monk next to him was a little surprised. He had never seen the master with such an expression. He was about to ask, but was interrupted by the other party raising his hand.
"What's going on? Why do you feel like you're being watched?"
The old monk thought secretly in his heart, then stood up and stepped out of the Zen room with unusual vigor. The feeling of being spied on only fleetingly passed, and gradually became vague and vague, until it disappeared.
"Who is this master who possesses such powerful spiritual power? Could it be that some great master passed by here?"
…
"The reaction is very sharp?"
Chu Feng withdrew his consciousness and an inexplicable smile flashed in his eyes. It was just a temporary idea, but he had to say that the result surprised him. There were indeed some strong people in the temple. Although they practiced martial arts, their strength was not low.
"Mr. Chu, do we want to go in?"
"Let's do business first. As for enjoying the flowers, I'm not in a hurry."
Appreciating the beautiful scenery also depends on your mood, especially who you are with. Chu Feng glanced at Feng Quan and really wasn't interested.
The two continued to move forward, and Feng Quan was not idle along the way. He introduced him to the situation along the way from time to time, which also gave him a more detailed understanding of the city of Tokyo.
"Sir, the house you chose has arrived, and it's the one with the red wall." As they walked to a quiet area, Feng Quan suddenly pointed to a location in the alley ahead and prompted.
Chu Feng glanced at it, and then walked forward with the other party, and soon walked nearby. The area in front of the door was very clean, and there were no weeds around it. It was obvious that someone took care of it regularly.
"The original owner here was a wealthy businessman who had to move to Hangzhou because he offended someone. He was a close friend of the head of our dental shop, so we entrusted him to help find a buyer."
Feng Quan continued to introduce, but he took out the key directly in his hand and stepped forward to open the door.
"What about the formalities?"
"Please rest assured, sir, that the other party is sincerely selling it and all the certificates are complete. There will be no problems."
As the two of them talked, they entered the courtyard. It must be said that Feng Quan was very reliable and did not fool him. Not to mention the vast area, the environment inside was equally good.
Ancient residences were different from modern ones in that they did not have so many high-tech aids. Instead, they were harmoniously integrated with the natural environment, with small bridges, flowing water, pavilions and corridors, and they were well-proportioned. They were no less than the urban mansions he once bought.
"This place is located in the east of the city. A short distance away is the Old Cao Gate. In addition, it is not far from Maxing Street. It is very prosperous there. If you have time, you can go and have a look..."
Chu Feng walked forward slowly, observing the details of various houses while listening to Feng Quan's continuous introduction, and gradually made a decision in his heart.
"This is the place." When he reached the back mountain garden, Chu Feng suddenly stopped and said,
"In addition, I will leave all the procedures to you."
"ah!"
Feng Quan was stunned for a moment before he decided so quickly. You must know that he had prepared more than a dozen high-class houses last night. Moreover, this one was not the best.
However, he quickly realized that if the other party was willing, it had nothing to do with him. Besides, this man was not easy to serve, so it would be a good thing to make a decision as soon as possible.
"Don't worry, sir, I will handle it as soon as possible. However, as for the money..."
"Why, are you worried that I won't pay you?" Chu Feng looked at the other party with some fun.
"No, no, I definitely don't have such thoughts." Feng Quan was startled and quickly denied it.
In fact, he did have some doubts in his heart. Mr. Chu had always been single and had no servants. He really didn't know where the money came from.
However, the other party was too mysterious. Although he had doubts, he would never dare to admit it.
"Well, you go prepare the formalities now, and I'll wait here. As for the money, it will be ready later, and the money and goods will be cleared by then."
"This..." Feng Quan hesitated for a moment. However, he inadvertently touched the other party's half-smiling gaze, and his heart suddenly trembled, and he quickly said,
"Okay, I'll go right away. Young Master, I'll take a tour and rest here for a while, and get familiar with the surrounding environment."
Feng Quan bowed respectfully and then left quickly, leaving Chu Feng alone in the garden.
"It seems that we are going to do something nice again, but this time it will cost a lot of money. Who should we turn to?"
His spiritual consciousness spread out rapidly, and most of the nearby area was covered by it in an instant. After a moment, his spiritual consciousness retracted, his eyes brightened slightly, and he murmured,
"There are really many temples around here."
…
Feng Quan walked in a hurry, and his return speed was not slow either. There were many people following behind him. One of them was dressed in an extraordinary way, and he should obviously be the person the other party said was in charge.
After introducing each other, they felt calm. Of course, the key was seeing a neat box of silver ingots in the yard, so naturally they had no objections.
With money, everything is easier to deal with and all processes become smoother. Moreover, because it is entrusted to the head of the dental office, the house deeds and other matters are brought directly.
After a lot of work, the transaction was successfully completed, and Chu Feng became the owner of the house here.
The matter was not over yet. How could he manage such a big house by himself? Someone had to take care of it. Therefore, he asked Feng Quan to find some maids and servants.
The latter would not refuse such a good thing, and it was another big deal, so he hurriedly nodded in agreement. God has mercy on me, this time it was really prosperous, and the smile on his face did not disappear until he said goodbye and left.
Time passes, and a few days pass in the blink of an eye.
Feng Quan's work efficiency was extremely high, and he quickly sent a group of candidates, both male and female, totaling more than twenty people. Chu Feng briefly tested it and found that he was quite satisfied, so he kept them all with a wave of his hand.
As a result, the Chu Mansion also became lively.
…
"Sir, there are guests visiting outside."
On this day, Chu Feng was practicing boxing in the yard. Suddenly, an old man wearing a servant's clothes came over.
This person was his newly appointed housekeeper, whose surname was Zheng. He had served in an official's family for a short period of time. Later, something happened to that official, and he had to find another way out.
Butler Zheng is very capable and can handle all trivial matters in an orderly manner. Moreover, he is also very knowledgeable and has a clear understanding of the intricate relationships in Tokyo.
"guest?"
Chu Feng was stunned, and then he put away his fists. The little maid who was standing by in the distance hurried over and handed out a clean handkerchief.
"I just came to Tokyo not long ago, and I don't seem to know anyone?"
"The other party said his surname is Liang and he is a middle-aged man." Zheng Guanjia added.
"It turns out it's him." Chu Feng looked stunned and then said,
"Invite people in and take them directly to the living room. I'll go change clothes and I'll be there later."
Zheng Guanjia quickly agreed and then left in a hurry. Looking at the other party's back, Chu Feng turned his head and said with a mysterious smile,
"Xiao Cui, go prepare some good tea and bring it over."
"Yes, sir."
…
In the living room, Lao Liang was sitting on a chair, looking a little awkward.
Speaking of which, he wasn't quite sure about the identity of the other party or whether he was the person he knew. He was tentatively asking, but he didn't expect to be invited in and receive such a warm reception.
In this way, one thing is confirmed, the other party is indeed Mr. Chu.
It's just that, in just a few days, he suddenly went from a poor man with little money to eat to the owner of a luxurious mansion. Isn't this a big change?
He knew very well about this house. It had been on consignment in Yahang for a long time. Now it has a new owner, who must have just bought it.
"You must have gotten some ill-gotten gains, right?"
Such thoughts were suppressed as soon as they came up. Thinking of Mr. Chu's weak appearance, he had no capital to go astray.
While I was thinking wildly, suddenly, a sound of footsteps came into my ears, from far to near.
"Chu... Young Master, is it really you?"
Although I had already made a guess in my mind, I still couldn't help being surprised when I saw the appearance of the person coming.
Moreover, the feeling that the other party gave him at this time had changed greatly. He was dressed luxuriously and his temperament was completely different. It was completely different from what he thought before, as if he was a different person from the inside out.
"Why, it doesn't look like it?" Chu Feng smiled warmly, then pointed with his arm,
"Brother Liang, don't be so formal. Sit down quickly."
"I……"
Lao Liang smiled unnaturally. He had a straightforward personality and was a pure man, but in the final analysis he was still a servant. It was okay at that time, and we could barely interact as equals, but now it is definitely not possible.
"Well, Mr. Chu, I'd better stand."
"Your master saved Chu's life in the past, and I also took good care of me. We are considered friends. There is no need to be so outspoken. Sit down quickly, otherwise I will be angry."
"Then...well, I'd rather be respectful than obey."
Lao Liang finally sat down, but his expression was still a little uneasy. Firstly, it was because of the change in the other party's identity, and more importantly, because of the aura that the other party naturally showed. That feeling was the same as when he was in the army and faced some
None of the generals on the battlefield have experienced this.
Footsteps sounded again, and it was Xiaocui who walked in from the door with tea in hand. There was one more person in the living room, and the atmosphere suddenly became gentle.
"This is a newly purchased high-quality tea. Brother Liang, you might as well try it."
Chu Feng looked kind and showed no airs. This made Lao Liang gradually relax. He secretly thought that it was rare for Mr. Chu to still be approachable despite his status.
"We are a rough man, and we can't judge the quality of the tea. As long as it can quench our thirst."
"The words are rough, but these things are indeed a bit flashy. Only those who have nothing to do will pursue them." Chu Feng deliberately agreed, and then asked,
"By the way, I haven't seen you for a few days, why did I suddenly find you here?"
"It's also a coincidence." Lao Liang put down his tea bowl and immediately began to explain,
"Young Master Chu may not know that my master's residence is also nearby, and is only separated from your mansion by a courtyard wall. When I passed by here before, I happened to see the young master's figure, but I was never sure."
"It's really fate. Chu bought a house at random, but he didn't expect to become a neighbor of your house?" A hint of surprise appeared on Chu Feng's face at the right time.
"I never asked in detail before. Is the master of your residence Mr. Li, a member of the Ministry of Etiquette?"
"That's my master." Lao Liang nodded, as if he suddenly thought of something, and then said,
"My girl has not revealed anything about Mr. Chu, so the master still doesn't know about it. I hope that the master will not mention it, so as not to make the master angry."
"That's it."
Chu Feng couldn't tell, because he didn't want to ruin the girl's reputation because of this matter. After all, leaving a strange man for a few days would really have a bad impact. Nowadays, etiquette is flourishing, and the reputation of a daughter's family is as big as the sky, so it is really not appropriate.
Publicity.
"Speaking of which, Miss Li's life-saving grace and gift-giving have never been repaid. Mr. Chu was also planning to pay a visit when he had the opportunity, but now it seems a bit abrupt." At this point, Chu Feng suddenly paused.
After a moment, he took out a jade box from his arms and asked Xiaocui to hand it over.
"This is a thing that Mr. Chu got by chance. It's a little thought from me that I bothered you to bring it back to Miss Li. I have no other intention, just to repay the kindness of the past."
"Well……"
Lao Liang subconsciously took the jade box in his hand, but he was a little at a loss. Why did he want to give a gift inexplicably? Isn't it even more unclear?
However, the reason given by the person was very legitimate. It was just to repay the favor of saving my life. It was not too much to give a gift. How could I refuse?
Besides, he is just the nurse of the Li family. How can he make decisions for his master? It is better to take him back and let the girl make her own decision. If she doesn't want it, she can just run a few more steps and then come back.
Seeing that the other party did not refuse, Chu Feng couldn't help but smile, and then changed the topic:
"Last time, I heard my brother introduce the situation in Jianghu. Chu benefited a lot and his horizons broadened. However, compared to Jianghu, Chu is also very interested in the situation on the border. I wonder if I can explain the situation in Jianghu.
Confused?"
As soon as the matter on the border was mentioned, Lao Liang immediately became interested. He was originally from the border army, so he knew the situation there very well. Then he put aside his worries and began to talk endlessly.
