Inside the Yuan Mansion.
Yuan Xi sat in the study and looked at the servants who came in a hurry.
"The shop was sold to Xie Fan, but..."
"But what? If you have something to say, please tell me!"
"Only sold for ten taels of silver!"
Yuan Xi slapped the table with his palm, and the teacup in his hand fell directly to the ground.
Who is this Xie Fan?
Why is he so evil?
Yuan Xi had already lost a lot of money regarding the inn.
I just found out today that I have bought a house a long time ago and there is no need to live in an inn.
Going back and forth, a few hundred taels were folded in, which made him feel a little painful.
After taking a long breath, Yuan Xi put a hand on his chest and said, "Get down!"
At this time, Xie Fan followed Wang Yizhi and came to a house.
Wang Yizhi opened the door and made a gesture of invitation.
Xie Fan asked Zhang Chao to prepare some food and drinks, then solemnly walked in the door.
The courtyard is antique and decorated with various decorations, all showing the atmosphere of art.
Wang Yizhi came to a pavilion and asked Xie Fan to sit down first, "Thank you, Mr. Xie, for a moment, I will prepare some tea."
"Old sir, are there no servants in your house?" Xie Fan looked around and saw no one along the way.
"I like peace and quiet!"
Wang Yizhi left in a hurry, and Xie Fan looked at the chessboard on the table quietly.
What is the meaning of life?
In the end, are you like the old gentleman, just finding a piece of pure land of your own?
The faint scent of tea caught his attention.
He stood up and helped the old gentleman put the tea on the stone table. "Old gentleman, why do you invite me to your house?"
Wang Yizhi sat down leisurely and put one hand on the stone table, "Young Master's poems are sincere and poetic. As a person, besides writing, I like to be with people who are poetic and calligraphy."
"Old sir, Xie is not talented, he is just a businessman." Xie Fan bowed respectfully and pointed to his clothes, "My body is full of copper stench, where is the other odor?"
Wang Yizhi smiled and said, "I have lived longer than you, and I still have some good taste in people. The young master is humble and dignified, but he can't hide his sharpness."
Xie Fan filled the tea for the other party, and time left deep marks on his face, "Old sir, it's a pity that my handwriting is so ugly, otherwise I would have to accept you as my teacher!"
"Oh?" Wang Yizhi's eyes shone with a different kind of light, "I am alone. It would be a good thing to have a disciple like you!"
Xie Fan was stunned for a moment. What did he mean by this? Did the other party want to accept him as his disciple?
He stood up and knelt aside, "Disciple Xie Fan, pay your respects to the teacher."
Wang Yizhi's wrinkled face showed touching warmth, "There's no need for these etiquettes, get up quickly!"
Xie Fan returned to his seat and thought to himself that Wang Yizhi had some fame, which he deserved, "Teacher, my disciple is stupid, please teach me more in the future!"
Wang Yizhi took a sip of tea and gently placed the tea cup on the table. "Now, tell me about your affairs."
"my business?"
Xie Fan didn't know what to say, so he told the other party about leaving Feng County and going to Taiyin Mountain.
Abandon all worldly utilitarianism, leaving only the heart of fraternity.
"This time I came to western Sichuan for business reasons."
"The greater the ability, the greater the responsibility!" Wang Yizhi sighed and wrote the Chinese character "民" on the table with tea. "Nowadays, there are hundreds of people in the Xie family. It is a feat for you to provide them with food and clothing without worries."
Xie Fan smiled bitterly. If he could successfully escape this disaster, he would be able to survive. Otherwise, everything would be in vain. "Teacher, compared to you, I am a bit more worldly."
"I have great love for the people, so I prefer to live in a small corner. It's just a small love. With such care, I have some things to learn from you as a teacher."
At this time, Zhang Chao carried the canteen and came to the pavilion.
Xie Fan looked at the food and wine on the table and suddenly realized something, "Teacher, can I keep my apprenticeship a secret for now?"
"oh?"
Xie Fan didn't know how to explain it, so he wrote an ugly word "evil" in tea, "This trip to western Sichuan is unpredictable. I'm afraid it will bring trouble to the teacher."
Wang Yizhi shook his head and said firmly, "You and I are already master and apprentice, and we are not afraid of any dangers as masters."
Xie Fan didn't know what to say, so he could only blur the matter out first.
After finishing the meal, Xie Fan left first.
Outside the gate of the mansion, Xie Fan ordered Zhang Chao, "Send a few soldiers to secretly protect the teacher without making any mistakes."
As he walked back, he kept thinking whether he should take over that shop.
According to his cautious temperament, there are other safer ways.
However, this time, he was going to run into the opponent's trap.
When he got home, he prepared the goods and took people to the shop.
Outside the shop, a plaque that Li Qinghua had already prepared was waiting for him, "Brother Xie, this is my father's calligraphy. I have already prepared it for you."
"Brother Li is very thoughtful, thank you very much!"
Xie Fan ordered someone to hang up the plaque, but something was a little strange.
If Li Qinghua and Yuan Xi are in the same group, why bother with this sign?
This sign indirectly illustrates the friendship between the Li family and the Xie family, tying the two families together.
Could it be that Li Qinghua's original intention was to draw a clear line with the Yuan family in this way?
Or is this just a way to confuse the public?
Zhang Chao led others to clean up the shop, while Xie Fan set up a table outside the door and enjoyed the street view with Li Qinghua.
"Brother Li, last time you said that you had some friendship with Yuan Xi?"
Li Qinghua lowered his voice and whispered, "There is nothing we can do about business dealings."
The helplessness in his words made Xie Fan ambiguous.
He sprinkled the herbal tea in the cup on the ground and poured another cup, "Brother Li, is this tea from the Yuan family?"
Li Qinghua nodded, "This tea is not cheap!"
Xie Fan stood up and walked straight towards Yuan's shop.
Entering the shop, he threw ten taels of silver on the counter, "Man, get the most expensive tea!"
The waiter looked at Xie Fan and took out a bag of tea, "Sir, you have the authentic East Lake Longjing tea!"
Li Qinghua stood outside the door and looked at Xie Fan quietly.
Xie Fan picked up the tea and cleared his throat, "Grandma's, what kind of bad tea! Is it so expensive?"
As soon as these words came out, everyone in the store looked at Xie Fan.
The waiter stepped forward and explained enthusiastically, "Sir, this is this year's new tea..."
Xie Fan raised his voice, "You shopkeepers are making a lot of money, right? I think this tea is only worth one tael of silver!"
Outside the door, many pedestrians stopped.
Who knows about the Yuan family?
Someone actually dared to cause trouble in Yuan's shop!
Seeing that many people had gathered around him, Xie Fan threw the bag of tea leaves on the street outside.
He walked over slowly and stepped on it hard, "Whoever wants to buy this tea is taking advantage of you! Everyone, keep your eyes open, unless your money was blown by the strong wind!"
The tea leaves were trampled on the ground and mixed with the soil.
Li Qinghua hid aside and screamed.
This Xie Fan is really messy.
