After entering the main hall, I saw that it was a well-decorated Chinese-style living room.
Yishui's huanghuali furniture seems to be of quite good taste.
"Well, that's right, De Biao, let's see the reward!" Master Senpo made an extraordinary move and ordered a reward as soon as he sat down.
The big teapot felt happy after receiving the reward, and quickly arranged for the boys to serve tea and snacks...
"Young master, this move is very powerful. If you don't have any wealth, I'm afraid ordinary people won't be able to get in here. Those two tails will be blind now." Ning Zhongping whispered to the fat man quietly.
"Oh, I'm afraid that the young master won't be able to control himself! Before leaving, the head of the family gave many instructions..." The fat man said with some worry.
The three of them drank tea for a while, but the sound of silk and bamboo sounded in their ears.
"It's not a gramophone..." Ning Zhongping whispered to the fat man.
The sound should be someone playing the piano next door and playing "Three Plum Blossoms".
Young Master Senpo was sipping the fragrant tea and shaking his head, as if he was very devoted to the music he was listening to.
"When did the young master understand music?" Fatty muttered to Ning Zhongping.
"Young Master is so elegant!"
Not long after, a clear and melodious voice sounded from outside the living room. It was standard Mandarin without any local accent.
Don't worry, Fatty's worries are justified.
Youdao is afraid of whatever comes. A stunningly beautiful woman, dressed in a white cheongsam, walked slowly in from the outside of the hall, accompanied by a faint fragrance.
"Oh! This Ni'er looks so exciting!"
When Master Senpo saw this woman, he sincerely admired her.
As soon as he said this, the fat man showed a look of helplessness to Ning Zhongping next to him.
"Sir, this is the number one girl in our academy, Mei Lan..." Dachapot saw Master Senpo's appearance and quickly introduced her in a whisper.
"Well! That's right, then whoever... is more expensive, let's see the reward!"
When Master Senpo was happy, he gave instructions to Ning Zhongping, who was still distracted.
When Ning Zhongping heard this, he quickly took out the banknotes and rewarded them everywhere.
"Who is that? This Meilan girl is pretty good. Please stay and talk to me, and find two of my two brothers to accompany them to drink..." Master Senpo proudly ordered to the big teapot.
After Master Senpo gave this order, everyone was very busy.
After a while of burning incense, a table of exquisite wine and food was ready in the backyard flower hall.
"Well, that's right. The rest of the crowd has dispersed. Let me talk to Miss Mei Lan..." Master Senpo quickly ordered after giving another reward.
The big teapot smiled clearly and ambiguously, greeted his servants and hurriedly exited the flower hall.
"Master, are you listening to music or drinking?" Miss Mei Lan asked Master Senpo with her eyes wandering.
"It doesn't matter, it's whatever..."
As soon as everyone left, Master Senpo became a little calmer. He looked at the flower hall and said with an expression of disbelief.
Miss Mei Lan smiled brightly, but didn't say much. She took off a pipa hanging on the wall, stretched out her slender hand, adjusted the tone, took out a pair of tortoise shell armor, put it on carefully, and started playing.
The music played is the ancient song "Autumn Moon in the Han Palace", but the sound of the piano is filled with endless resentment and sorrow...
"well!"
After the song ended, Master Senpo let out a long sigh.
"Why did the young master sigh?"
"I heard that there is endless sadness in the girl's music..." Master Senpo said with some dejection.
"The young master is indeed a close friend."
Miss Mei Lan nodded and praised Master Senpo.
"But, it seems that the young master didn't enter the Meixiang Book Apartment just to listen to music and have fun, right?"
Before Master Senpo could think of what to say, Miss Mei Lan lowered her voice and asked quietly.
A pair of beautiful eyes that seem to be able to speak. Looking at Master Senpo, it seems like they are seeing each other again after a long separation, and they seem to have a thousand words...
"Then...that's not possible. I'm just here to have fun."
Young Master Senpo smiled, picked up a glass of daughter's red on the table, took a brief look at it, and drank it in one gulp.
When Miss Mei Lan saw this, she didn't say much. She gently put down her pipa, picked up another glass of wine on the table, drank it all in one gulp, and then poured two more glasses of wine.
Those beautiful eyes looked at Young Master Senpo, but they seemed to understand, with a hint of sadness, and a hint of surprise, but they seemed to be empty.
Mei Lan smiled brightly at Master Senpo, picked up the pipa and started playing it again.
The song this time is different from last time, it is "Ambush from Flying Daggers" that moved the world...
In another private room in the front yard, there was a fat man sitting next to a pretty girl, but he looked a little confused.
"I said, Fat Master, what's the matter with you? You just eat and drink. It's just that this place is more expensive, and Master Senpo is not short of money either..."
Ning Zhongping was quite relaxed and let the pink girl beside him drink a glass of wine before saying.
"Oh! I'm worried about how I'm going to explain it to the head of the family when I go back!" the fat man said in a heavy tone.
"Isn't that true?" Ning Zhongping asked curiously.
"Alas! You don't know, the head of the family is quiet on the surface, but she is so powerful... there is nothing she doesn't know!" said the fat man, shaking his head.
"This fat man, are you talking about the young master's wife?" Miss Cuinong next to the fat man asked curiously.
"Oh, that's right..."
The fat man's eyes were full of pity, whether it was for Master Senpo or himself.
At this time, the music inside became more and more urgent, just like the fat man's messy mood.
"I say, Fatty, just make peace with what you have come to, and for some things, just let them take their own course... and no one will die," Ning Zhongping advised.
"Yes! Come and have a drink!" The fat man said through gritted teeth.
I had fun again for a while, and the sound of pipa inside seemed to have stopped...
I don't know how much time passed, it should have been afternoon, but I saw Master Senpo walking out in high spirits, being supported by Miss Mei Lan.
"Young master has something important to attend to, so Mei Lan will stay here soon. From now on, as long as you have some free time, if you let me know, I will definitely rush to greet you..."
Miss Mei Lan said softly, but her expression was endlessly romantic and graceful.
"De Biao, Chang Gui, let's go, there is still business..." Master Senpo ordered to his two men.
When the fat man heard this, he immediately seemed to be electrified. He rushed out of the private room, called the big teapot, and went to pay the bill.
"Very happy?"
Coming out of "Meixiang Book Apartment", Master Senpo blinked and asked the two of them curiously.
"We'll just have a drink..." Ning Zhongping said with some apprehension.
"It's okay to relax occasionally. I only listened to two pieces of music. After chatting for a while..." Master Senpo said to the two followers with a frank look on his face.
The two looked at each other with an expression that said I believe you.
Seeing that it was getting late, the three of them called a car and went back to the hotel to rest.
Early the next morning, inside the Tongshang Lane Cultural Research Institute.
Yamaguchi Tadayong was sitting in his office, looking at a stack of bills in front of him.
"Yamaguchi-san, that place is too expensive, and we brothers can't afford it... I could only bribe the big teapot at night and get these bills."
Zhao Youtian bowed and reported to Yamaguchi Tadayong.
"We have also asked Xiao Xilin, and he is an information dealer... His ancestor is a prince from the former Qing Dynasty."
The other person who answered was Song Kaixiang with a shrewd look on his face.
These two people were local agents recruited by Yamaguchi Tadayong who was in charge of the operation after the Neon State Commercial Capital Intelligence Agency was established. Inquiries revealed that they were the two people that Master Moripo saw following.
"Yo Xi, you should be cautious when doing things. Judging from the bills, the other party's life is very luxurious...these hateful intelligence dealers!"
Yamaguchi Tadayong curled his lips and said with some disgust.
"Is the information from the intelligence dealer reliable?" Zhao Youtian asked with some confusion.
"Hmph, there are no absolutes in the world. Don't you also spend money to pay the bill to the big teapot? Of course, if it is reliable, everything is easy...if it is unreliable, you know what to do!"
Yamaguchi Tadayong's eyes changed for a while when he heard this, and finally a fierce light flashed in his eyes.
"Yes, brothers, don't worry. If this man dares to pretend to be a ghost, there will only be one more ghost in Jinshui River than him." Song Kaixiang said to Yamaguchi Zhongyong.
Yamaguchi Tadayong nodded numbly, but did not express his position.
"Ding……"
Zhao Youtian was about to say a few more words, but he heard the intercom phone on Yamaguchi Tadayong's desk ringing rapidly.
"...What? Your surname is Tu? Ask him to wait in the reception room."
Yamaguchi Tadayong answered the phone, listened for a while and then spoke slowly.
"It's the concierge. The man named Tu is already here. He moves very quickly. You two should step aside and go through the back door..." Yamaguchi Tadayong said to Zhao Youtian and Song Kaixiang.
After hearing this, the two of them bowed and retreated submissively.
Yamaguchi Tadayong thought for a moment, straightened his clothes, and walked slowly to the reception room on the first floor.
“Welcome Mr. Tu, our place is really shining!”
Yamaguchi Tadayong put on a friendly expression, a kind face, which was completely different from the dull expression just now.
"My surname is Tu Mingyang, and my courtesy name is Senpo. Have you not consulted me sir?"
Seeing Yamaguchi Tadayong's thirty-degree bow, Master Moripo also stood up and cupped his hands slightly.
"I am Yamaguchi Tadayama, responsible for the institute's external relations." Yamaguchi Tadayong replied with a smile.
"Oh, it turns out to be Yamaguchi-san..."
Master Moripo nodded politely to Yamaguchi Tadayong, then picked up the teacup and sipped the tea seriously.
Yamaguchi Tadayong was a little annoyed. The arrogant demeanor of this man named Tu made him very unhappy.
Shouldn't those information dealers be bowing their heads?
Does he still want to do business?
"Yamaguchi-kun, do you think I should be more polite to you?" Master Moripo seemed to have seen through Yamaguchi Tadayong's thoughts and said with a playful smile.
"No, no, it's nothing." Yamaguchi Tadayong instinctively shied away after hearing this.
"We are all experts, so don't hide it. I have no objection to you personally. The main thing is that you are not the one making the bid... I speak frankly, please forgive me!"
Young Master Moripo said proudly. Although his words were quite polite, it made Yamaguchi Tadayong feel a little worried.
"I said, I will only negotiate with those who can bid... I will keep the goods genuine. If your company is not sincere, then I will say goodbye. Goodbye!"
Master Moripo ignored Yamaguchi Tadayong's embarrassment at all, stood up, picked up the hat on the coffee table, and prepared to get up and leave.
"Sir, please stay!"
At this time, another man's voice sounded outside the living room.
