Unexpectedly, what Brother Lu bought was actually the residence of Taibu Zong."
Duanmu Niyi.
I was not familiar with the former owner of this house, so I was a little confused and said: "Tai Bu Zong" Duanmu Ci said aside: "I have also heard about this person.
I heard that this person can predict the future, deduce past lives, and has a deep understanding of Feng Shui."
Duanmuni smiled and said, "That's him.
When he left Luoyi, many people looked at this house.
Unfortunately, his bid was too high, and no one paid any attention to it."
"I spent six thousand gold" Duanmu Nie frowned and said: "Although six thousand gold is not cheap in this area, it is still much cheaper than the original asking price.
Could it be that something happened to him and he is eager to use money?"
Duanmuci laughed and said, "What happened to him has nothing to do with us.
In short, Brother Lu has bought a house that is worth the money.
We want to celebrate it."
While the two of us were admiring the house, I asked Kaolie to order a table of food from a nearby tavern and deliver it directly.
Following the two of them, I also saw my new residence in Luoyi for the first time.
Although the mansion was old, it was well maintained.
There was no damage to the walled courtyards, pavilions and pavilions.
The architecture was a typical Wuyue style. , filled with a strong Jiangnan graceful color.
The two gardens at the front and back were filled with lush vegetation and unique layout, which amazed the Duanmu brothers.
At night, the two brothers and I were drinking in the stone pavilion in the back garden.
Duanmuna sighed: "Zong is indeed a capable man.
This house is really nice."
I smiled and said, "Actually, it's the same no matter where you live.
The key is to be happy.
If you're in a bad mood, even if I give you a palace, it won't be any different from a prison cell."
Duanmu Ci praised: "Brother Lu is absolutely right, my mentor also said similar things."
I picked up the wine glass and clinked it with the two brothers.
After finishing the drink, I said, "Brother Duanmu, is Mr.
Kong okay?"
Duanmu Ci smiled and said, "Very good.
I told him all the things I said to my brother when we were in Kuaiji.
My teacher was very impressed by your insights and said that I must meet you if I have the opportunity."
I said respectfully: "In a few days, I will definitely pay a special visit to his old man."
This sentence is indeed what I said sincerely.
I have long admired Kong Laoer, a great saint who has been famous throughout the ages.
I can see it with my own eyes.
Looking at his appearance, this is a rare opportunity.
Duanmu said: "Brother Lu, what will be the result of going to see the emperor today?"
I sighed and said, "He was so focused on cockfighting that he actually forgot that he called me there."
Duanmuci and his brothers laughed at the same time.
Duanmuci said, "I have long heard that Emperor Zhou likes cockfighting.
It turns out this is true."
I didn’t want to put the focus of the matter on myself, so I changed the topic and said: "Brother Duanmu came to Luoyi this time to visit relatives or do business."
Duanmuci smiled and said: "I came to Luoyi this time on the order of my mentor, to pay a visit to a great sage."
I was slightly startled.
Who could be the person that Confucius respected so much?

Could it be the founder of Taoism?
Then I thought about it and thought that it was probably this almost mythical figure.
Since Duanmu Ci didn't tell her name, I naturally couldn't continue to ask.
Duanmuci smiled and said: "I heard that the emperor has recognized brother Lu as his adopted son.
This should be considered a happy event.
Brother Lu is blessed with double happiness.
It is really a joy to congratulate him."
He picked up the wine glass and said: "Come on, our brothers I’ll give you a toast, both of you.”
I happily had a drink with them.
With Duanmuci's brothers' connections, they probably already knew seventy-eight percent of my affairs.
They were all very alert and did not mention Huo Guo's affairs before I took the initiative to reveal it.
Duanmuci added: "I heard that Brother Lu rescued Sister Xueling in Chu State."
I smiled and said, "Actually, she should be the one who saved me."
Duanmu Ci slowly put down his wine glass and said, "There is something I don't know whether to talk about or not."
"Brother Duanmu, if you have anything to say, just say it."
"Brother Lu, it is better to have less contact with the Qin State.
You must know that Qin has the heart of a tiger and a wolf.
He does not want to leave Hangu and advance into the Yuan Dynasty all the time.
Being with them is tantamount to seeking the skin of a tiger.
Be careful and suffer the consequences."
I heard the meaning of Duanmu Ci's words.
In fact, at this time, most of the original countries regarded Qin as Xirong and had strong feelings of rejection.
Rumors of the transaction between Qin and I must have spread, so Duanmu Ci had Such a statement.
I smiled and said, "Thank you, Brother Duanmu, for your teaching."
Duanmu Ci smiled calmly and said, "I'm just talking.
With Brother Lu's eyes, he may have seen things that I couldn't see."
To a future I couldn't imagine. " Duanmuna smiled and said: "Brother, let's not talk about these heavy topics.
What I like most is peace in the world.
There will be no more disputes between countries, allowing me, a philistine businessman, to make a lot of money."
Duanmu Ci smiled and scolded: "You have been greedy for happiness since you were a child.
You often only see the good side of things, but ignore the bad side of things."
Duanmuni said: "Only when the world is stable can the people be able to work happily, and only when people's hearts are at ease can they think of buying my jewelry.
Why should I think about the bad side and expect war to come?"
Duanmuci looked at me with deep meaning: "From Brother Lu's point of view, how long will the world be at peace?"
I slowly put down the wine bottle: "Brother Duanmu, do you think the world will ever be peaceful?"
The two brothers Duanmu Ci fell silent at the same time.
After a long time, Duanmu Ci broke the silence and said: "Peace in the world is just a vague dream in our hearts."
I took the Duanmu brothers to the entrance of the alley and watched them disappear side by side into the night before turning around and walking towards the mansion.
I had just taken two steps when drizzle started to fall in the sky.
I couldn't help but quicken my pace and ran towards the door of my house.
In the hazy mist and rain, I saw a slim figure standing quietly outside my door.
Holding a red umbrella, it looks like a painted figure.
The night rain is so mesmerizing that it seems illusory and elusive.
I didn't expect that Ying Lian would come to me at this time.
I slowed down and walked slowly in front of her.

I smiled and said: "Such a beautiful girl, aren't you afraid of meeting bad people when you go out late at night?"
Ying Lian's lips curled up slightly, and she said with a cute expression: "Is there anyone worse than you in the world?"
She handed the umbrella in my hand, and I raised the umbrella, covering her and me under the same sky.
According to past understanding, umbrellas should have been invented by Lu Ban later.
Now it seems that umbrellas have been invented for a long time.
There has been a romantic scene of young men and women strolling together under an umbrella, but I don’t know if it was my first creation.
Kao Lie poked his head out from the door, and when he saw it was me and Ying Lian, he shrank back in embarrassment.
I softly invited Ying Lian: "Would you like to go back and sit down?"
Ying Lian shook her head, her delicate hands quietly held my arm, and her delicate body moved closer to me: "Would you like to walk with me?"
I nodded and walked with her towards the Jingshan Villa.
"I will return to Qin tomorrow"
"So fast" I said in shock.
Ying Lian said softly: "My father is sick, I must go back to see him."
"In two days, I will leave Luoyi for Huo State.
It seems that we will have no chance to meet in the short term."
When I said these words, I felt a sour nostalgia in my heart.
Only then did I realize that it was Ying Lian actually occupies such an important position in my heart.
Ying Lian stopped and stared at me with her beautiful eyes: "Little turtle, the Huo Kingdom is in quite a state of chaos.
Ji Mu will never give in easily.
Although we have given up the idea of dividing the Huo Kingdom, the domestic situation in the Huo Kingdom is not clear until the situation becomes clear. , I cannot formally propose to the emperor to support you as the king of the Huo Kingdom."
She paused and then said: "This time my uncle's opinion is contrary to mine.
I will have to explain it to my father after returning to the country."
Looking at her thin and pretty face, I felt pity in my heart and said softly: "This matter must be embarrassing for you."
Ying Lian shook his head and said, "I do this willingly."
I quietly grabbed her delicate hand and suddenly felt the urge to hold her in my arms.
Ying Lian whispered: "I heard that you are engaged to the daughter of General Ling Gufu of the Yue Kingdom.
Is this possible?"
I didn't expect that she would suddenly mention this matter, so I smiled awkwardly and said, "Not bad."
Ying Lian's beautiful eyes showed a trace of unconcealable disappointment: "It turns out that I am never less important than others in your heart."
I whispered: "My heart has never forgotten you."
Ying Lian's little head slowly rested on my shoulder, and after leaning quietly for a long time, she let go of my arm: "Remember what you said to me today, and never forget me, otherwise Even if I chase you to the end of the world, I won’t let you go.”
She stood on tiptoes, kissed me gently on the cheek, then quickly turned around and ran towards the Jingshan Villa like a frightened bird, even looking at Bu Shang took the umbrella I handed her.
I looked at her back and felt a mixture of emotions in my heart.
I didn't know whether it was happiness or sadness.
The umbrella slowly fell to the ground, letting the wind and rain wet my clothes
