I also got off the carriage immediately. As soon as I landed, I felt the darkness in front of him. He almost bumped into him. The familiar smell of sweat immediately rushed to me. When I raised my head, I saw his bright eyes smiling so that several layers of wrinkles appeared on the corners of his eyes.

"Yan Qingying, are you here?"

I saluted him: "I'll come and visit Master Sijian."

"Why are you and me talking about a visit? Why didn't you say you were coming earlier? You said earlier, I'll send someone to pick you up!"

"This will not bother you."

I looked at him. This person was treated coldly last night by me. I thought that I would be treated coldly as well when I came over licking my face today. Now, when I saw him so excited that he had a red look on his cheeks, I felt that I was a little bit villainous. He didn't mind my coldness last night, as if that didn't happen at all, and said enthusiastically: "Come on, don't burn in the sun. You women are like flowers, and you have to keep them in the house."

“…”

What is this...the truth!

I couldn't help frowning, but when I arrived at the door of my house, I couldn't refute my master's words. I just smiled awkwardly and walked in with him.

As soon as I entered, it was indeed very different from outside.

It is clearly Qingtang City in the northwest, but as soon as we walked into the gate, the tall Bianma wall immediately divided the inside and outside into two completely different worlds. The walls inside this palace are full of exquisite paintings, and the corners are filled with colorful flowers, especially the avenue in front of us, with flowers on both sides, leaving only a narrow path for people to walk on, which looks like a rainbow bridge leading to the depths of the palace.

I couldn't help but sigh in surprise: "There is such a unique world here."

Slang Jiangcuo immediately said, "I asked them to arrange this."

"oh?"

I was a little surprised, and I didn't know that he would have such a "spokenness".

However, knowing that he asked someone to arrange it like this, I couldn't say much. Seeing that I had no intention of saying anything, he could only take me to continue walking in.

The palace doors opened layer by layer, and I was like looking at the Qionglou Yuyu in the Heavenly Palace, appearing in front of me one by one.

And when we approached the innermost hall, a strange cool breeze blew out from it.

Very cool!

In such a hot weather, the palace is almost airtight, so how could there be such a cool wind?

When I walked closer, I found that there were at least a dozen ice trays on both sides of the hall inside. Behind each regiment, two or three girls holding big palm fan fanning the wind hard. This is how the cool wind came.

I felt like I walked into Liangqiu from midsummer all of a sudden, and couldn't help but smile and said, "You are so comfortable here."

"How do you like it?"

I smiled and said, "It's the summer, who doesn't like this? Master Sijian, you really know how to enjoy it."

He immediately said, "Of course, we, Qingchuan, are not all rough people!"

As he said that, he looked at me with a burning look: "Did you think so?"

This is what I say...

I couldn't help but smile and shook my head, and followed him in without saying anything.

This palace is as gorgeous as the Heavenly Palace, but its quality is indeed roughly the same as what they used in Qingchuan. It is also sitting on the ground. However, it is thick and soft, and the carpets with various exquisite patterns are woven for kneeling people to sit on it. It also feels like a ecstasy. As soon as I sit down, he immediately instructed his servant: "Hurry up, go and take out my best tea!"

The servants and maids immediately ran down and became busy.

I looked around again, and then smiled and said, "You have been building such a gorgeous palace in Qingtang City thousands of miles away, I'm afraid it's not expensive."

Slang Jiangcuo smiled and said, "Qingying, you are so stingy. When we come here, we can't live in the homes of ordinary people."

I smiled, and didn't have to tell him how dilapidated the house I've lived in over the years. Like him, people who blew the cool breeze in midsummer said that it was like summer insects that couldn't speak ice.

So, I just smiled and said, "Tell me, we haven't seen each other for more than 20 years. What are you doing now?"

He said, "What else can I do? My elder brother is in charge of the family's business. As for me, my father asked me to take charge of the business here."

"What business are you doing here?"

"Of course it's cattle, sheep, horses, and iron ore."

"Oh..." I nodded and said thoughtfully: "Then you--"

Before he finished speaking, he rushed to say, "But don't treat me as a philandering businessman. I never want to plot against others!"

What he said made me feel a little funny, and I said, "You can't ignore the scheming when doing business."

He was cold for a moment, as if he didn't know how to reply to my words. At this moment, several maids walked in from outside. He immediately greeted: "Come on, come on, I'll let them prepare the best tea. Come and taste it. This is the best this year."

"oh?"

Because I came here with a purpose today, I didn’t have much anticipation about drinking tea. Seeing a beautiful maid kneeling in front of our short table, a complicated way of making tea began. As the clear tea water poured out of the pot, a faint fragrance overflowed, I couldn’t help but nod.

I watched people make tea, but Silang Jiangcuo looked at me. Seeing me nodding, he immediately said, "This water is the snow water I specially asked them to go to the mountain to retrieve. It is impossible to find it in ordinary places."

"oh."

The maid brewed tea and served it in front of us. She took the cup and saw that the tea leaves were delicate and small, like a sparrow tongue. The tea was green and slightly yellow. After taking a sip, it tasted sweet and fragrant. It was a good Huangshan Maofeng. But I knew very well that Maofeng after the Grain Rain was no longer a sharp one. Compared to his solemnity, the taste of tea seemed a little lighter.

Slang Jiangcuo stared at me: "How?"

I smiled: "Not bad."

Hearing what I said, he became even more furious and said, "I didn't lie to you, right? I'll just say that we, Qingchuan, are not all rough people."

“…”

I smiled awkwardly. It is not a glorious thing to say when I was a child. I put down my teacup and changed the topic: "You said you are in charge of your business now, so who are you doing business with this time?"

For some reason, when he saw me change the topic, he seemed a little unhappy, but he was not angry either. He just looked up at me and said, "What are you asking about this?"

“…”
