Lie Junhou [Rebirth]

Lin Yi couldn't sleep at night, and couldn't help but think of the butterfly of Sangzhe wood in his mind, and his dream was messed up. He woke up early, practiced sword and cleaned up, and planned to go out to do some errands.

"Zi Yao."

As soon as I walked to the front yard of the Hou Mansion, I met Xiao Huan, dressed in a white wrought single gown, with a long body standing tall, feeding thrushes on the corridor. When he saw Lin Yi, he asked, "Going out?"

Lin Yi nodded: "Go find someone", and added in a strange way, "Do you want to be together?"

After talking, I feel what's wrong with me recently, and whenever I go, I always ask Ruan Xun if he wants to be with him.

But Xiao Huan smiled and said softly, "Okay."

Lin Yi breathed a sigh of relief, thought for a while, and said, "Ruan Xun, the place I'm going may not be very fun."

"That's right to accompany you." Xiao Huan added some water to the thrush in the cage, put down his things and clapped his hands.

Lin Yi suddenly felt that what he said always made people feel uncomfortable.

Lin Yi took Xiao Huan out of the Hou's mansion, and the two of them walked through the streets and alleys of the city without any servants, and stepped into the old and dilapidated urban area.

This is a place where the poor people in the city live together. The houses are small, the huts are shabby, the roads are not easy to walk, the ground is potholed, and there are chickens, ducks and geese in the yard next to it, and the smell is messy.

Lin Yi saw Xiao Huan dressed in light white, with a clear and handsome profile, and felt that he shouldn't be brought here, and felt guilty for dragging the gods to the cowshed.

He said: "Ruan Xun, why don't you wait for me here, don't go in, it's not suitable for you."

Xiao Huan was a little puzzled: "What's wrong?"

Lin Yi didn't know what to say for a while, Xiao Huan looked around and asked, "Do you have friends living here?"

"Yes." Lin Yi saw that he didn't mind the mess here, so he didn't mention it anymore, and took Xiao Huan to a street in the slum according to the location he remembered.

I don't know the way here, so Lin Yi asked the old man basking in the sun at the street corner: "Old man, where is Tan Yishan's house?"

The old man was wearing an old jacket, rubbed his neck, raised his eyes to meet the sun and looked at the two people in front of him, the young man in white shirt was noble, the young man in red was handsome and heroic, both of them had excellent looks.

There are usually no such people in this place. The old man thought it was very fresh, grinned, and pointed out the way to Lin Yi: "Go in the alley, turn right at the third fork, his house is well built, and you can tell it at a glance."

Xiao Huan knew that Lin Yi had come to find Tan Yishan, and he also had the impression that he had helped Lin Yi in his previous life.

Xiao Huan looked at Lin Yi sideways, and smiled helplessly. Lin Yi remembered everyone, but he forgot himself. It seemed that he had no impression of what happened after the arrow was shot.

In the last life, Lin Yi and Tan Yishan didn't meet much. One time he accidentally helped this person when he was young, and the other time was that many years later, Lin Yi was short of food and grass in northern Xinjiang, and Tan Yishan, who had become a wealthy businessman, helped him in time.

After entering, the road was even more potholed, and the ground was full of mud and water. Most of the people living here were poor civilians. Seeing Lin Yi and Xiao Huan looking at them curiously.

The alley is cramped and dark, with noisy poultry neighing, loud quarrels between men and women, and various smells from the livestock sheds within the enclosure.

Passing through the winding alleys, I saw a house with an old locust tree at the door, growing crookedly, with thick and dense branches and leaves, and clusters of locust flowers hanging over the alley.

The old man was right, Tan Yishan's house was better built than the neighbors' houses, and he could tell that he paid attention to the system, and he was probably a scholar's house in the past.

But the house is too old, the lintel is dark, and the eaves and tiles of the house are seen to be broken through the wall, so it must not be well-off now.

Lin Yi was about to knock on the door, but there was a woman's noise coming from the door: "What kind of broken books are you reading, what future do you have, and you are not eating for nothing!"

Before the words fell, a volume of books was thrown out in response, and the half-closed door was smashed open, almost flying onto Lin Yi with a crash.

Lin Yi dodged sideways and caught the book that flew out.

The door was smashed open, and Lin Yi and Xiao Huan saw the angry woman with her hips akimbo in the courtyard.

Lin Yi didn't expect this to happen, and seeing Tan Yishan beside him, he was not angry, and said to the woman in a good voice: "Auntie, if you say me, you can say me, why bother with the book."

Tan Yishan is always neither angry nor angry, and is kind. Others regard him as a good guy, but in fact he is just extremely tough.

His aunt was still puzzled, and sarcastically said: "Which generation of your Tan family has a talent for studying? Once your parents leave, you have lived with me for so many years. I don't mean to make things difficult for you, but the little money in the family has to be returned." Save it for our children, and you can’t afford it for your education.”

He raised his finger and pointed to the house again: "The house left by your grandfather was originally for your mother. Your mother died early. We lived in to take care of you, not greedy for anything. This house can barely withstand the hard work of these years. , Xiao Shan, you still have to fight for yourself."

The matter of the house has the will of the foreign father and mother, and it is not just a matter of talking, it will happen every few days, I don't know what it is.

Tan Yishan didn't want to argue, and was about to turn around to pick up books, when he saw Lin Yi and Xiao Huan under the big locust tree at the door, he was stunned for a moment.

Seeing this, his aunt raised her eyes: "What are you looking at? You..."

She turned her head and saw Lin Yi and Xiao Huan, she stopped talking immediately, and looked them up and down through the garden gate very strangely.

Her eyes were straight, as if there was an abacus in her eyes, and she was trying to figure out how much the two of them wore by sweeping up and down.

"Yo, who is it?" Tan Yishan's aunt still had her hips akimbo, but her tone was much more relaxed.

Lin Yi didn't like this look very much, so he moved a step away, put Xiao Huan behind his back, and smiled very politely: "Hi Auntie, I'm Tan Yishan's friend."

Tan Yishan obviously remembered Lin Yi. When Lu Chenming made things difficult for him a few days ago, Lin Yi helped him out.But I didn't expect Lin Yi to come to him.

Lin Yi is very good-looking when he smiles. He and Xiao Huan are not ordinary people at first glance. Standing in this back alley, they are particularly dazzling, and Tan Yishan's aunt can also see it.

But she has always looked down on her nephew, and now she is hesitant.

She gave a smack, put down her hands on her hips, looked more polite, and said with a smile: "Our Xiaoshan has a bright future, and there are such friends?"

There is no lack of temptation in the tone.

Tan Yishan felt that this was too impolite, stepped forward and said: "I don't know what's the matter with the young master."

Lin Yi got a headache when he heard the woman's sharp voice, so he said politely: "Auntie, let's go out to get together with Xiaoshan, so don't bother me."

After finishing speaking, he stepped forward and dragged Tan Yishan out, and then dragged Xiao Huan to go outside.

Tan Yishan didn't expect it, and asked while walking: "What's the matter with the young master coming to see me?"

It seems that Tan Yishan has recognized Lin Yi, and the three of them walked out of the alley. Lin Yi let go of his hand and said half-jokingly: "Actually, I passed by and met by chance. Let's go have a cup of tea."

Tan Yishan lowered his head and smiled, this alley twists and turns, it can't be a coincidence.

But knowing that Lin Yi was not a bad person, he followed Lin Yi and Xiao Huan out of this slum without asking any more questions, and went to a teahouse not far away.

The three of them sat down, ordered refreshments casually, Tan Yishan said: "The family members have offended me just now, please forgive me."

Lin Yi waved his hand: "It's nothing."

Lin Yi asked casually again: "Are you doing business while studying?"

Tan Yishan smiled: "It's just setting up a stall, not to mention doing business, just doing some odds and ends to earn some subsidies, reading... probably won't read in the future."

The shop assistant brought up the refreshments, Lin Yi took a sip of the tea and asked, "Any other plans?"

In the last life, Tan Yishan silently remembered the kindness many years ago, which saved Lin Yi's army from the emergency of food and grass. Now Lin Yi plans to take the initiative to make friends.

If it were someone else, Lin Yi would not come to the door rashly, nor would he talk like that, but he knew Tan Yishan's temperament, so he just came here directly.

Tan Yishan's temperament is neither warm nor angry, he is neither humble nor overbearing at any time, he nodded and said: "My ancestral home is originally in Wuyuan, Huizhou, and I want to go back and do some tea business."

Xiao Huan lowered his eyes and said: "The Wulu and Qihong teas there are both good teas."

Tan Yishan said: "Exactly, but in recent years the price of Wu green is too high. I heard from my fellow countrymen that the people of Fanbang have been there several times, but the black tea suits their taste. Go sell it with Mobei."

Xiao Huan asked: "The area around Mashi and Jiayuguan in eastern Liaodong?"

Tan Yishan smiled and shook his head: "Further, leave Jiayuguan, pass through Hami, and go to Qiaktu."

Xiao Huan showed praise in his eyes: "It's so bold."

Xiao Huan thought for a while, and then said: "In recent years, most of the tea sellers go to the nearby Wancheng, Jinling and Gusu areas, while few people go to Mobei and Xifan."

Tan Yishan did not expect Xiao Huan to be very familiar with mundane affairs despite his celestial spirit, he said with a helpless smile: "I don't have much savings in my hand, if I buy cheap black tea, I have the travel expenses to go to farther places, besides, black tea When the tea reaches Xifan and Mobei, the price can be very high.”

Lin Yi thought for a while, and said: "You go far, and the transportation and boats on the road are expensive. It would be more cost-effective to bring more goods on the trip."

Tan Yishan said: "That's the reason, but I have limited savings and can't borrow any money, so let's take it step by step."

Lin Yi's eyes lit up, and he said with a smile; "It will take you several months to go back and forth, saving a little bit of money, wouldn't it be a waste of time if you go on like this, I think we are destined, or I will lend you some capital and pay me back when you come back Just fine."

Xiao Huan bent his eyes and smiled when he heard this, his posture of wanting to lend money to others was too impatient.

Tan Yishan was stunned when he heard the words: "This... I have only met the young master twice, how can the young master believe me?"

Lin Yi stepped forward and sat next to him, holding Tan Yishan's shoulders, and said earnestly: "Do you know what it means to hit it off? Do you know what Bole is? I think you have a stable temper, neither arrogant nor impatient, you are very reliable."

He added: "What's more, your aunt is still here. If you don't pay back the money, I'll take back your house and return your aunt to you."

Tan Yishan was able to make the business bigger in his life, and decisive character is indispensable. Lin Yi looked very serious. After chatting for a while, Tan Yishan no longer hesitated, and accepted Lin Yi's proposal openly.

Before leaving, Lin Yi was still worried, and asked Tan Yishan: "If possible, would you rather do business or study?"

Tan Yishan knows exactly what he wants: "Everyone has their own strengths, and doing business is more suitable for me."

On the way back to Hou's Mansion, Lin Yi was very happy, and he walked dishonestly. He bounced around Xiao Huan, turned his head and said to Xiao Huan: "Ruan Xun, I counted the days, how about we set off for Suizhou in three days? ?”

Xiao Huan smiled: "Just listen to the arrangement of the young master."

Xiao Huan has been a guest in the Hou's Mansion these days, and the attendants he brought are very low-key and well-trained. Lin Yi thought that he would bring all the attendants with him on this trip, but he did not expect that he would send all the attendants with him before departure. gone back.

"Ruan Xun, will you not get used to it without an attendant?" Lin Yi was a little surprised. He himself was used to the days of marching and fighting, but Ruan Xun was different.

Xiao Huan looked at him as it should be: "Wouldn't it be a nuisance to bring so many people, wouldn't it be good for you and me to be companions?"

Lin Yi felt that something was wrong, but it made sense. After thinking about it, he nodded: "Okay, very good."
