After breakfast at Wuweiju, Cheng Lan and Si Mingtang walked to Dongmin Alley in the east of the town.The two of them walked swaggeringly in the bustling street market, and sometimes the people saluted them, and the two also bowed their bows and returned the salute, humble and friendly.Cheng Lan pulled Si Mingtang to deliberately walk outside the gate of Porcelain Source Hall, and yelled at the little guys in the gate, "Stand up", so scared that the little guys didn't dare to steal.After walking far, you can still hear the chattering and complaining of the little guys, Si Mingtang couldn't cry or laugh, patted Cheng Lan's back, and said: "Quickly accept your naughty nature, be careful that you can't marry a daughter-in-law." ”Cheng Lan's face changed slightly, and he said embarrassedly: "What are the benefits of marrying a daughter-in-law?"
If you are a tigress, you can't put shackles on yourself for the rest of your life. ”Si Mingtang couldn't help laughing, and felt some sympathy for Patriarch Cheng and Mrs.
Cheng.Cheng Lan shook his head and hummed a small tune, walked with his hands behind him, and said in a proud tone: "The person I like must be the one who is the dragon and phoenix, amazing, and the most in line with my heart." ”"It sounds like it's really hard to find girls from the eight major clans.""
Heh, the eight clans are dirty from the inside out, I'm not rare."
Cheng Lan sneered disdainfully, mocking from the bottom of his heart as if he was not a member of the Eight Great Clans.Si Mingtang smiled and did not comment, and walked with Cheng Lan to the most spacious alley in the depths of Dongmin Alley.The original two mansions have been merged into one, occupying the entire wide alley.From the east of the lane to the west of the lane, there are three gatehouses with staggered heights.The middle door of the house is exquisitely carved with stones, the color paintings are exquisite, and even the stone lions in front of the gate are dotted with gold lacquer and decorated ears.On the lintel, hang the black background gold lacquer book plaque of the word "valley house", which is the imperial pen of the first emperor, highlighting the glory of Wushang.Once, this was the new mansion of Li Haitang's Xiqiao Pavilion, as well as Zhuge Yi's Zhuge Mansion; Today, it is a daunting valley house.Si Mingtang looked up at the three towering gatehouses and felt that he had become a frog at the bottom of the well.Traveling south and north to see more Houmen Guifu, Cheng Lan has no interest in this mansion.At a glance, he saw the three people standing under the stone pier of the East Gate Tower, and walked over with a grin.He knew that the plan to split the eight major clans had succeeded in the first step, and it had finally turned into a hostile situation between the two sides.It's just that the strength and weakness are clear, and he has to add more firewood to burn vigorously."
Dad, Uncle Dianshi, Uncle Yanshi, why did you come?""
Stinky boy, you can come, why can't we come?"
Seeing his son, Patriarch Cheng's anger can always be ignited instantly, and there is a momentum of raging flames.I didn't feel the scolding, Cheng Lan said good-naturedly: "Come on, come on, I didn't stop you, I'm just curious." ”Seeing his father hiding in the collar and revealing a little blood, he was stubborn, leaned closer and whispered, "Dad, was scratched by my mother again last night?"
Look at your chances, every time you lose under your mother's five fingers.Tsk, that's pitiful!
”"Stinky boy, do you still have the face to say?
If you hadn't run to the Cold Night Valley, would I have been caught?
”Thinking of the painful night, Patriarch Cheng was furious, and he only hated that he didn't kill this unfilial son with a knife.Cheng Lan laughed and said, "What can I do, who made Cold Night Valley the territory of the world's largest businessman, how can I be stable if I enter the mountain gate without worshipping?"
”"Have you seen the world's largest businessman?"
The patriarch was speechless, so nervous that his breathing became heavy.Cheng Lan laughed and said, "What kind of thing am I, I can enter the eyes of the living dead?"
I went to the mountain gate in the Cold Night Valley, but I wanted to be safe. ”I don't know when Si Mingtang was already behind Cheng Lan, and said, "Yes, if Brother Lan sees the living dead, I'm afraid he has become a corpse now."
It is rumored in the rivers and lakes that there are less than five people who have seen the living dead, and the rest have been wiped out, so no one knows the appearance of the living dead who are the largest businessmen in the world. ”Cheng Lan bowed his head and said, "Yes, the rumors in the rivers and lakes are true.Last year, more than 100 murderers died in Qishan Ridge outside Qishan Town, all of them at the hands of the living dead. ”"Since they're all dead, who is the news coming out?"
Patriarch Yan was very curious, and he was suddenly very interested in the number one merchant in the world.Cheng Lan grabbed Si Mingtang's shoulder, crossed his waist with one hand, and said, "Of course, it was passed on by the person who deliberately let go."
Of course, when the word came out, it was silenced and killed by the living dead. ”The patriarch exclaimed: "It's a pity that I was born too early and couldn't go out like Brother Lan.Alas!
In the next life, he will not be a patriarch, and he will be in charge of a bunch of troubles. ”Patriarch Yan couldn't help but smile, pulled Patriarch Dian to follow behind Cheng Lan and Si Mingtang, and said, "Take care of the troubles in this life first, and then think about the wishes of the next life." ”"Alas!
It's not the right time. ”Patriarch Dian looked depressed and walked with Patriarch Yan.Si Mingtang and Patriarch Cheng walked side by side, silently following behind Cheng Lan.Cheng Lan swaggered towards the towering and tall gate of the valley house with brisk steps, climbed the steps, lightly buckled the beast ring of the gate, and made three sounds, and immediately heard the response from the door."
Dare to ask who the outsider is?""
Outsider, the man in red, Cheng Lan."
Cheng Lan took out a golden tube shaped like a thumb from his arms and put it in the mouth of the unringed door beast.He took a cautious step back and waited.Under the white jade steps, Si Mingtang, Patriarch Cheng, Patriarch Dian, and Patriarch Yan stared silently, both curious and apprehensive.Curious about how Cheng Lan entered the Gu Mansion, curious about whether the golden tube shaped like a thumb was really a piece of paper, curious about who the people in the Gu Mansion were who answered, and curious about all the secrets of the Gu Mansion.When he was worried, the black lacquered door of the Gu Mansion slowly opened, and a fair-skinned and slender hand held the gold pipe and returned it to Cheng Lan."
Please ask the man in red to take a detour to the east side gate.""
There's Sister Lao."
Cheng Lan stretched out his palm, his white and slender hand rose slightly sideways, and the golden tube fell into his palm.He clenched his fists, lowered his eyelids and bowed his head in thanks."
The little proprietor has sent someone to spread the word, the boy in red can rest assured.""
Thank you, sister, for mentioning."
Cheng Lan bowed and thanked him, and when the black lacquer door was closed, he straightened his waist and breathed a long sigh of relief.The golden pipe in his fist is like a talisman, and he can leave boldly for three years with confidence.Turn around and go down the stairs, and immediately be fenced off.Patriarch Cheng couldn't wait to ask, "How?"
Is the mysterious owner of the valley house willing to protect us?
”"Say it quickly, don't sell it."
The quick-tempered patriarch grabbed Cheng Lan's arm and was not at ease, as if he was suspected of coercing a confession.Si Mingtang smiled but did not speak, pretending to be calm.Patriarch Yan was about to speak and suddenly stopped, he was keenly aware that there were thieves peeping at the west entrance of the alley, I am afraid that it was a spy sent by Patriarch Mo and others.He lowered his voice and reminded: "Someone is watching, let's find a safe place first." ”Cheng Lan laughed heartily without care, stretched out his hand to hold Patriarch Cheng's hand, and said, "Whoever likes to watch it, just watch it, the owner of the Gu Mansion invites us to come into the house to drink."
Let's go to the East Gate. ”"Don't make a noise!"
Patriarch Cheng was so angry that he punched his son in the back of the head, and watched the situation around him vigilantly."
Hey, hey."
Cheng Lan covered the back of his head and smirked, pulled Patriarch Cheng, and called Patriarch Dian, Patriarch Yan and Si Mingtang to the east entrance of the alley.() Glory to the end
