Chapter 269 Shouyang Qingxiao

The scenery in the mountains is beautiful. Du Wulang and Xue Yunniang held hands unconsciously when they were talking, and they talked about what kind of birds were chirping on the treetops.

While walking, I met Xue Bai and Li Jilan. The two people who were talking about poetry turned around and their eyes fell on the hands held by the young couple.

"Huh? What are you looking at us for?"

Xue Yunniang was a little embarrassed and wanted to take her hand out. Du Wulang was unusually tough, so he held on.

He is a serious person who has been married, and he is not afraid of people seeing him.

Going further, Li Tengkong waited there for a while. When the four of them came over, Li Jilan and Xue Yunniang naturally gathered around her to talk.

"Take time to spare, Xue Lang gave me a beautiful poem just now..."

Xue Bai and Du Wulang were talking quietly from behind, saying, "I see that the Song family's children are headed by Song Ruosi. Go and get a handle on him and tell him that Yang's Trading Company wants to buy Lu Hun Villa."

A wealthy family has to sign a written deed to acquire land. Two bolts of silk can buy a hundred acres of land. His moral standard cannot be lower than this.

Du Wulang was reluctant and asked, "Must I go?"

Xue Bai said: "Go and fight with him."

"He has a bad attitude towards you, right?" Du Wulang sighed, feeling that the burden on his shoulders was getting heavier again, "Just use the same move."

A few young people were walking and chatting. After a while, the team headed towards Shouyang Mountain. Climbing the mountain and looking into the distance is one of the scenic spots here.

In the front, Yang Qixuan and Song Ruosi were talking, and the gap in knowledge gradually became apparent.

Song Ruosi only interacted with Li Bai, and Cui Hao, a literary giant of the generation, could not talk to Yang Qixuan about some petty fighting, and led the way in silence with a sad look on his face.

Seeing this opportunity, Du Wulang went over to talk to Song Ruosi. As he walked, he was still muttering in his heart. He felt that this was like a wealthy family forcing farmers into desperation and forcing them to buy their fields. But after all, the children of a wealthy family are not ignorant and stupid people. How can they do this?

To be convinced so easily?

He even thought that Song Ruosi would not pay attention to him at all, but he did not expect that when he stepped forward and gave his name, the other party was quite polite.

"I have also heard the name Wulang in Chang'an."

"Ah? I have a little reputation in Chang'an. Well, my family has some dividends from Fengwei House, which can be regarded as running the property for Mrs. Guo Guo..."

~~

Li Jilan looked back and saw that there was no one around Xue Bai to talk to him. Naturally, he slowed down and walked alongside him.

"Why can Xue Lang always compose poems with long and lasting charm? I chewed them over and over again, and I still feel that there is a lingering fragrance in my mouth."

"Ji Lanzi is the one who really knows how to write poetry. I'm just lucky."

Li Jilan, who had a pretty face at first, blushed even more when he was praised and asked, "Does Xue Lang still want to write another play?"

Xue Bai has not been currying favor with Li Longji recently, so Xue Bai definitely didn't plan to write it, but after hearing this, he still thought about it and thought that if he wanted to write it next time, he could write "Butterfly Lovers", so he started talking with her...

While talking, he looked at Li Tengkong who was walking in front from time to time and realized that he had not spoken to her today, but he actually wanted to chat with her.

But Li Tengkong kept holding hands with Xue Yunniang and chatting quietly, and he never had the right opportunity.

On the contrary, Du Wulang and Song Ruosi, who were walking in front, were gradually getting into a good conversation.

"Can I ask what considerations the Song family had in selling Wangchuan Villa to layman Mojie?"

"Wang Mojie liked Wang Chuan very much and asked him many times." Song Ruosi responded, and with a thought, she felt the implication, "At that time, my uncle passed away, and most of the children in the family were serving as officials abroad, and no one was looking after other careers."

This was an overkill. Du Wulang cheered up and said: "You are right. It takes a lot of effort to manage such a large villa. Isn't Luhun Villa bigger than Wangchuan Villa?"

"About that, Wangchuan Villa has 260,000 acres, and Luhun Villa has 240,000 acres."

"Ah?" Du Wulang was surprised, his momentum was somewhat suppressed, "So big?"

Song Ruosi nodded, stroking his long beard, thoughtfully.

Du Wulang asked: "Is the ancestral home of the Song family in Yanshi?"

"No, in Guozhou."

"Do you still have your ancestral home at home?"

"Yes, there is an old house and a few acres of thin farmland."

Du Wulang was a little nervous, swaying as he walked, and said: "If you ask me, the burial of Song Taigong is too simple. It is better to move back to his ancestral home and have a rich burial as a filial piety."

Song Ruosi glanced back inadvertently and looked at the brothers at home in the distance.

This time he was unable to calm down, and it fell into Du Wulang's eyes, and he couldn't help but gradually became more confident.

"The Duke of Song is going to keep his filial piety and stay in Shouyang Mountain. It is better to stay in Guozhou. Moreover, when he is reinstated, he will have to wait for the election again, so he will have to spend a lot of money to take care of him. Now the Song family is very thin, so instead of spending money to take care of Lu Hun,

How about selling the villa for a big price before it goes into decline?"

"Decay?"

"Gao Shi and I are good friends." Du Wulang lacked confidence, but still said this, "Gao Shi lived in Liang Garden for a long time and said that Liang Garden has declined. Li Bai also has a poem, so what..."

Song Ruosi raised his head and sighed, chanting: "The deserted city shines in vain on the green mountains and the moon, and the ancient trees disappear into the blue clouds. Where is the palace of Liang Wang now? The horses returned first and did not treat each other."

"Yes, although Liangyuan is good, it is not the home of long-lasting love."

Du Wulang didn't know whether he had persuaded Song Ruosi, but he felt that the other party was not very opposed to selling Lu Hun Villa.

After walking for a while, we arrived at Yueyan Pavilion. We climbed up and looked at the great rivers and mountains.

…

Du Wulang turned to Xue Bai, talked about his exchange with Song Ruosi, and finally said: "It's really strange. Didn't he think at all that there was anything fishy about the changes in the Song family?"

"It's like there are many farmers who have been ruined by rich families. How many of them are going to take revenge? People are practical and have to think about their future life."

"well."

"What kind of person is Song Ruosi?"

"It's not bad. The scholar is quite popular. He didn't talk about the tenants and landowners. He seemed willing to sell Luhun Villa to us."

"It's not like he just sold it." Xue Bai said lightly.

Luhun Villa does not belong to Song Ruosi at the moment. It is up to Xue Bai to decide who will inherit it and who is qualified to make the final decision.

"Tell Song Ruosi that as long as he is willing to sell Luhun Villa, I will give him a sum of money, enough for him to seek an official position after observing filial piety for three years. At the same time, the matter of casting copper coins privately in Song's family has passed, and no one will pursue it again.

.”

Du Wulang soon thought of the key point and asked, "But what if his brothers don't agree?"

"Whoever agrees will inherit."

"Is this possible? Look at how arrogant he was towards you just now."

Du Wulang was very suspicious of this and felt that as long as the Song brothers had some backbone, they would unite and fight against Xue Bai.

He wanted to see Song Ruosi's reaction, but the other party did not go to discuss with the brothers. Instead, after chatting with Yang Qixuan and his wife for a while, he straightened his sleeves and walked towards Li Tengkong.

~~

Li Tengkong climbed up to Yueyan Pavilion and looked north. As far as he could see, he could see the mountains north of the Yellow River.

That was probably Wangwushan. She had only been in Yanshi for a few days and was about to leave. After all the trouble, she had yet to say a few words to him.

There were footsteps behind me, and looking at the shadow on the ground, it was a man coming over.

"Take space."

Hearing this voice, Li Tengkong felt disappointed and responded: "Song Gong."

"Don't be so polite. I know Yang Canjun and his wife as equals. You can just call me Ming Xiuzi."

Song Ruosi reported her Taoist number, expecting Li Tengkong to ask if he also had a Taoist number, but she didn't expect that she just nodded lightly and continued to look into the distance.

"I just heard from Eleven Niang that your surname is Zong? Are you from the same clan as Li Bai's wife? Oh, Li Bai and I are also good friends."

Li Tengkong turned his head casually and saw Xue Bai standing not far away, looking over. The two looked at each other... Xue Bai didn't say anything and looked away.

She was originally a pure and indifferent person, but at this time she was inexplicably confused. She simply turned away and walked away, completely forgetting that there was someone talking to her around her.

Song Ruosi was stunned.

He really fell in love with Li Tengkong at first sight and was fascinated by him. He knew that if he didn't grasp it now, he would not even have the chance to see him again in the future.

Therefore, even though he knew that the timing was very unsuitable, he still chased after him and said: "Make some space and wait a minute."

"What's going on Duke Song?"

This is the Tang Dynasty, where the atmosphere is bold and unrestrained. Li Tengkong’s master, Princess Yuzhen, has a child before she gets married. Although Song Ruosi is a few years older than Yang Qixuan, his official position is also higher than that of Yang Qixuan. He prides himself on being elegant and worthy of Li

Soaring.

After a slight hesitation, he spoke.

"Actually, it has been many years since my wife passed away, and I have never had a crush on another woman until I met Teng Kongzi..."

There were others around, and they were stunned when they heard this. They were surprised that Song Ruosi was so bold.

Li Tengkong was very embarrassed. He glanced at Xue Bai again and saw that he also had a surprised expression on his face, but he was still silent.

She was a little annoyed with him for no reason.
