More and more people were looking at them, and Le Tong knew that the person he was looking for had appeared.
He walked to General Xing and asked in a clear voice, "Are you the fated person my master is looking for?"
General Xing laughed and reached out to touch Le Tong's head, but Le Tong dodged.
He didn't like people touching his head.
General Xing didn't care and said, "Do you think I'm the fated person your master is looking for?"
"Everyone is looking at you. You should be, right?" Le Tong said innocently.
"I don't know." General Xing said frankly. "However, if Mr. Le Chi invites me, I'd be happy to express my admiration to her. I've enjoyed Mr. Le Chi's masterpiece twice, but I've never met her. I've always felt deeply regretful. "
Le Tong looked at Wang Xiaoyao, who said with a smile, "After Master Shui's flute ended, Mr. Jiang recited a poem on the eyes."
Wang Xiaoyao recited the poem again, and Le Tong's eyes lit up. He said, "It's very appropriate. He's the resonant person my master is looking for … "
Le Tong looked at General Xing and said, "Come with me. Master wants to see you. "
"Thank you, young sir." General Xing teased.
"Humph." Le Tong snorted and led the way.
"See you later, everyone." General Xing greeted everyone with a smile.
All the guests looked at General Xing with envy. Not everyone had the opportunity to be invited by Le Chi.
Drinking a cup of tea with Le Chi, chatting about music for a quarter of an hour, and when General Xing came out of Le Chi's room, he would become Le Chi's guest and music confidante in all kinds of rumors … This was really helpful to his reputation.
Between the two brothers, the younger brother, Jiang Junling, was humiliated and left, but the elder brother was invited by Le Chi. It had to be said that the elder brother was much luckier than the younger brother.
Perhaps, the elder brother was not as bad as the outside world said?
Le Tong knocked on the door, and without waiting for his master to respond, he pushed the door open and said, "Master, I've invited him."
Le Chi was repairing a pot of chrysanthemum, and did not answer or even turn around to welcome the guest.
Le Chi did not speak, and neither did General Xing, who was standing at the door.
Le Tong looked at his master and then at General Xing, touched his head and left.
Cha!
Cha!
Screech!
Le Chi cut off three chrysanthemums so that the flower cluster wouldn't look too crowded and the flowers wouldn't be squeezed out of shape. The sparse but well-proportioned feeling made people feel relaxed and happy.
Le Chi seemed to have forgotten the guest behind him. General Xing also treated himself as an invisible person.
He watched Le Chi prune the chrysanthemums, he watched Le Chi prune the plum blossoms, he watched Le Chi build the welcoming pine, he watched Le Chi build the cactus.
After a quarter of an hour, General Xing bowed slightly to Le Chi's back and then turned to leave.
Le Tong pushed the door open and said, "Master, he has left."
"He left," Le Chi replied.
"He's not the person you're looking for?"
"No."
"I'm sorry, Master … He looked very experienced and elegant, and he even recited a poem that matched Xiao Sheng's poem very well. Everyone said it was him … Master, how do you know it wasn't him?" Le Tong asked, puzzled. "You didn't speak, not even a word. I'm listening at the door. "
"His footsteps are too soft," said Le Chi.
"Too light?" Le Tong was even more puzzled. What did light footsteps have to do with whether he was a soulmate or not?
"His footsteps are deliberately light because he has distracting thoughts," Le Chi said. "It is impossible for a person with distracting thoughts to resonate with my Xiao Sheng. He is a frank and selfless person. "
"Master, since he is not the soulmate you're looking for, why did he stay in the greenhouse for so long?"
"Because he didn't want to leave. He couldn't leave either. "
"Why couldn't he leave even if he didn't want to?"
Le Chi did not explain this to his disciple. He was still young and did not understand how complicated the thoughts of adults were.
The man just now, he was invited in by his disciple in full view of everyone. If he left as soon as he came in, what would people outside think of him?
If he stood in the greenhouse for a while and then went out, the outside world would have a different interpretation of his meeting, wouldn't they?
As for why she let him stay, it was because she owed him something. This was her compensation for him. She invited him in and had already pushed him to the eyes of everyone. If she kicked him out and made him lose face, it would be tantamount to forming a deadly feud between the two sides.
She just wanted to make music and didn't want to make enemies with others.
This was also the reason why the general bowed to Le Chi when he left without a word of dialogue between them.
She understood, and so did he!
"Master, I'll go out and help you look for him again," Le Tong said.
"No need." Le Chi shook her head and said, "If we are fated, we will meet again in the future. If we meet, ask him to name this song. "
"I'm quite curious," Le Tong said with some regret. "What kind of person can resonate with master's music?"
Le Chi stopped talking and focused on trimming the flower branches in front of her again.
Except for music, she did not have much interest in other people or things.
The buildings were getting taller and the siheyuan were getting fewer and fewer.
It was also because things were rare that the remaining siheyuan had become a unique landscape in Four Corner City. And any one of them was worth hundreds of millions of dollars.
Zijing Alley, this was an inconspicuous narrow alley on the map, which could only accommodate one car. Two cars could not go side by side.
However, this was a very special alley.
It was next to the red wall and close to the Privy Council. The location of the wall was the highest authority in Yanjing City. The red wall had been expanded once, and the surrounding buildings were demolished, but this old alley was preserved.
The alley was simple and old, the gray walls, red tiles, and the glazed roof of the courtyard door were covered with snow, wrapping these old houses in a bright new coat.
Every courtyard door was closed. On such a snowy night, no one was willing to open the door to face the wind and snow at this time.
Ga!
A champagne-colored Bentley was parked at the door of an old house, and the driver was a beautiful and plump woman.
As soon as the tigress stopped the car, Jiang Junling, who was sitting in the passenger seat, pushed the door and got out.
The tigress pushed the door and walked out, ready to help the man knock the lock and call the door.
"Let me do it," Jiang Junling said.
The tigress stepped back and stood aside to guard Jiang Junling.
Jiang Junling said he would knock the door, but he stood on the stone steps at the door for a long time without moving.
After a long time, he sighed softly and asked, "Is it very shameful?"
"Victory and defeat are common in war. Young Master lost because he underestimated the enemy, "the tigress said frankly. She was shocked, shocked by the little guy she met for the second time. He actually had such ability? She really underestimated him before.
She said that she underestimated the enemy, not only Jiang Junling underestimated the enemy, but she also underestimated the enemy. She was deceived by her beautiful smile.
"I didn't underestimate the enemy." Jiang Junling shook his head. "I won't make such a mistake."
Pa pa pa …
Jiang Junling reached out and knocked on the copper lock of the wooden door. After a while, the wooden door trembled and opened. The old housekeeper stood at the door and said with a smile, "Second Young Master, Master is waiting for you in the room to play chess."
"Thank you," Jiang Junling said respectfully to the old housekeeper.
"Go quickly. I have already prepared the chess pieces, "the old housekeeper said with a smile and turned to close the courtyard door.
Jiang Junling took off his windbreaker and scarf and hung them on a hanger in the corner of the room.
Then, he sat in front of the chessboard and said, "I'll play first with the black piece?"
"You first," the old man in the sheepskin coat sitting opposite him said.
So, Jiang Junling made the first move.
"I expected Swallow Dock's reaction, but I didn't expect it to be so big. Is it necessary for a few wild children who are causing trouble outside? … Who called you? "
"Young Chief." The old man placed a white piece in one hand and held a cup of hot milk in the other. "He is in charge of contacting Swallow Dock. When he first took office, he brought people to Swallow Dock to see that gentleman … He called him a disciple and was extremely respectful."
"How serious is it?" Jiang Junling asked in a low voice. Another black piece was placed. If it was only because he was humiliated at the banquet, an old man like his grandfather who had experienced many hardships wouldn't say the words "a crushing defeat."
"Your fifth uncle's transfer has been delayed," the old man said. "He was supposed to go to a very important position, which we have been seeking for a long time. But tonight, someone from another family was placed in that position. "
"Who is it?" Jiang Junling said, gritting his teeth. He felt a faint pain in his heart.
Fang Yan was right. He wasn't his opponent. He didn't see him as an opponent from the beginning.
Being humiliated in front of everyone or being ridiculed by the guests who came to this banquet … What was the big deal? It was nothing more than a bad reputation and a dusty future. It was not good for him, but it was also good for him.
The Tao Addict's words "one should have a son like Jiang Junling" pushed him to the front of the stage. His every move was infinitely magnified. If he could disappear or be quiet for a while under everyone's eyes, he was willing to pay such a price.
However, what Fang Yan wanted was obviously more than that.
He was not only targeting himself, but the whole family of the General Family.
He set up this shocking situation and put on a wonderful show. He used the power of all parties to cut off a very powerful arm of the General Family.
His own face was damaged, but the General Family or the old man in front of him just smiled lightly and said "the child is naughty".
However, he forcibly ruined the fifth uncle's transfer. This was clearly a punishment for the General Family from above.
Some people from above wanted to kill the chicken to show the lion, so Fang Yan pushed the General Family out. The General Family became the chicken that was killed to show the monkey.
This was no longer a joke, nor was it a child's quarrel. It was an attack that hurt the General Family and made them bleed.
He took the initiative to attack the General Family.
"Who is it?" Jiang Junling felt his blood boil, and his hand holding the chess piece trembled. "Who took the fifth uncle's position?"
Pa!
The old man decisively took a white piece and said, "Swallow Dock. Ye Daoling. "
