"Did you pay this month's rent?"
Xu Dangren waited for a somewhat aggrieved voice to sound.
He stared straight at Song Qingqing.
Everyone around was stunned and immediately turned their attention to Song Qingqing.
Song Qingqing felt the eyes of everyone and blinked. Her face looked a little confused. She looked at everyone and asked, "Didn't we pay the rent?"
Chu Zhaozhao rolled his eyes and said angrily: "Miss, have you forgotten who is trying to take over our financial power against all the opinions?"
During a previous daily quarrel between Chu Zhaozhao and Song Qingqing.
Chu Zhaozhao laughed at Song Qingqing by bringing up the fact that Song Qingqing couldn't read.
With Song Qingqing's temper, he couldn't bear to suffer any loss, so he immediately took over the financial power to prove his proficiency in arithmetic.
At this moment, Song Qingqing, who heard Chu Zhaozhao's words, was a little confused. She blushed, but she was unwilling to take everyone's responsibility on her shoulders. She muttered unreasonably and unreasonably: "Then...then you should too Remind me, I was walking in such a hurry, didn’t I... didn’t I forget that.”
Such excuses would naturally be met with blank looks from everyone, but at this moment, Bao Zili walked up and said with a smile on his face: "About seven days ago, I went to the house to invite Mr. Chu on behalf of my master. , happened to see the old man being kicked out by the landlord, so my master asked me to take the old man back and live in the house temporarily. "
"You were probably still on the Kamigawa Peak at that time, so I couldn't notify you. Please forgive me."
When everyone heard this, the expressions on their faces became strange.
Before, they thought that the other party wanted to use Xu Dangren as a hostage and had ulterior motives. Now it seemed that the other party had done them a big favor.
Chu Qingxiao also came back to his senses, put away his hostility, and cupped his hands towards Bao Zaili and said: "The trip to Shenhe Peak happened unexpectedly, and many things were not properly arranged. Fortunately, you have stepped forward to help take care of Mr. Xu. , Chu Qingxiao would like to thank you."
Seeing this, Bao Zaili waved his hands repeatedly and turned aside, not daring to accept Chu Qingxiao's gift: "Master Chu and all of you are young talents from Tianxuan Mountain. We have big things to do, and some omissions are inevitable. What's more, these are my family. The master's wishes have nothing to do with me, and I will never dare to accept the young master's courtesy."
Chu Qingxiao did not force the other party, but asked: "By the way, I don't know where your master is now, so I just want to thank you in person."
Bao Zaili smiled and said, "My master has been waiting in the inner courtyard for a long time, and he even invited Mr. Chu to go in and meet him."
The other party was kind to him. Although Chu Qingxiao still didn't know the origin and purpose of the other party, he had no room to shirk, so he nodded and agreed.
Xue Sanniang and others beside him heard this and were about to step forward, thinking of joining Chu Qingxiao.
But at this time, Bao Zili smiled and said: "Everyone, stay here. My master seems to be chatting with Mr. Chu alone. Please wait outside the courtyard for a while."
"Alone?" Chu Zhaozhao frowned upon hearing this, and a look of caution appeared on his face again.
Song Qingqing also turned his head to look at Bao Zili with an unkind look.
Chu Qingxiao obviously did not expect that the owner of this courtyard would have such a request. He was stunned for a moment, but quickly made a decision: "In that case, I'll let you lead the way."
Seeing that Chu Qingxiao agreed so easily, both Song Qingqing and Chu Zhaozhao's expressions changed, and they wanted to say something else.
"Let Mr. Chu go." But at this moment, Xue Sanniang stood up and winked at the two of them.
Then she looked at Chu Qingxiao and said, "Master, Liaoyuan and I are waiting outside. If you need anything, remember to call us."
Xue Sanniang and Liaoyuan have special identities. As Chu Qingxiao's followers, in such a short distance, Chu Qingxiao can directly summon them to his side through the divine blood in his body. At the same time, if there is any accident, they can feel it immediately.
Chu Qingxiao understood the implication of her words and nodded with a smile. Song Qingqing and Chu Zhaozhao also came to their senses. Although they were still a little worried in their hearts, they did not stop them anymore.
…
Chu Qingxiao followed Bao Zili through the front yard and arrived at the backyard gate of the mansion.
Bao Zaili pushed open the courtyard door, stood aside and said, "Master Chu, please come in. My master will be here soon."
Chu Qingxiao nodded and walked into the courtyard.
The sight he saw made Chu Qingxiao stunned.
The backyard is not that big.
Three feet square.
There is no atmosphere like front yard or side yard.
But the layout of the courtyard is very unique.
In the middle is a pavilion with a small path under it.
A stream passed through it. Chu Qingxiao was not sure how the landscaping was done, but the sound of the rushing stream was obviously carefully designed. It did not sound noisy, but instead made people feel a sense of quiet comfort.
And these are not the key points that surprise Chu Qingxiao.
What really made the young man stunned for a moment after entering the small courtyard was that peach trees were planted around the small courtyard and behind the pavilion.
On the lush branches and leaves, the peach blossoms are as bright as fire, almost burning the eyes...
At that moment, Chu Qingxiao felt as if he had returned to his familiar hometown.
"This is Yongchun Peach."
"It's an improved variety that I asked people to find from the Shenmu Palace."
"The flowering period lasts for seven months, from early March to late September, so you can see that although it is almost autumn, these peach blossoms are still beautiful."
At this moment, a voice came from the front.
Chu Qingxiao came back to his senses and looked up, only to see a figure walking slowly in the peach forest behind the pavilion in front of him. Chu Qingxiao was too far away to see his appearance clearly. He only knew it from his voice and body shape. The other person is a man.
"I looked for many peach trees for the peach blossoms in this yard, but none of them had that smell."
"It wasn't until six years ago that someone sent me a batch of saplings, saying they were from Wuling City, which is now almost extinct in Muzhou."
"That's when I entrusted these saplings to Shenmu Palace and cultivated the first batch of Yongchun peaches."
"The man who helped me find the saplings was very happy when he heard about it. He agreed with me that when the peach trees grow up, he would come to Tianxuan City to drink and enjoy the flowers with me under this pavilion."
"It's a pity that that guy doesn't have this opportunity now..."
"Do you know why?" the man said, walking towards the pavilion.
Peach Blossom, Wuling City.
These words were too special for Chu Qingxiao, and he vaguely sensed that something was wrong.
He stared at the figure and said, "I don't know."
At this time, the man had already walked to the pavilion. He was holding a wine bottle in one hand and two wine glasses in the other. He looked at Chu Qingxiao with a smile and said.
"Because that guy's name is Pu Zijin."
"he……"
"died."
