Chapter 868: Asking for forgiveness and applying pressure (Part 2)

Cities with mountains and rivers are always colorful, and a city like Hangzhou where mountains and rivers meet is a paradise on earth. Some good people are always guessing, what would Hangzhou be like without the West Lake? Elders always use paradoxical language

He replied, without West Lake, Hangzhou would still be Hangzhou, but not Hangzhou.

Compared to the West Lake, Li Sansheng prefers the mountains next to the West Lake. The thousands of acres of tea gardens and deep mountains and old forests complement each other, which is more artistic than the West Lake that is making fun of itself. In the evening, when Li Sansheng was holding Marquez's "Nothing" in his hand,

"The colonel who was writing to him" when he arrived at Villa No. 8 of the West Lake State Guesthouse

, the two servants of the Li family who lived here have gone to the building. Only Qing He, who has not yet fully recovered from his serious injury, is waiting for her on the balcony. As the sun sets, the statue of Qing He, wearing a ponytail and a white dress, stands in the dusk.

A little girl next door who just came into the world, vague and confused, revealing her troubles about this worldly world.

"You're finally here." When Li Sansheng and the Thirty Monsters stood in front of Qing He, Qing He, who was completely different from the two people in Beijing before, stared at Li Sansheng almost coldly and said, which made Li Sansheng depressed.

Li Sansheng seemed to understand something and asked calmly, "Qinghe, where are they?"

Qing He turned around and replied coldly, "Master and the others are waiting for you at the Meijiawu Tea Garden. I will take you there."

Thirty Monsters waited until Qing He left the balcony, and then said with a playful smile, "This girl Qing He likes you."

Li Sansheng glared at Thirty Weird Millet and told you to stop talking nonsense. I don't care, but Qinghe still cares. Thirty Weird Millet disdainfully said, "You are pretending to be confused because you understand in your heart. Do you still know whether this girl likes you or not?"

?Anyway, you like so many women, you don’t care if one more is included in your huge harem, so that you can give birth to more sons for the Li family and spread the branches."

Li Sansheng was furious, fearing that Qing He would hear what he said, so he said seriously, "Believe it or not, I will send you to the old house in Guanzhong to look after the home?"

The Thirty Monsters responded nonchalantly to Li Sansheng's killing move, "It's my honor to guard the Li family's house."

Li Sansheng was completely defeated and said, "Uncle, you win."

Seeing Li Sansheng give in, the Thirty Monsters chuckled, and the two followed him downstairs. The Thirty Monsters said thoughtfully, "I guess Qinghe should have learned something from their conversation."

, this is silent pressure on you.”

Li Sansheng looked at the sunset on the horizon and said calmly, "So what, I just want to know, if grandpa is not here, will the Li family listen to them, or will they listen to me, the Li family?"

There is a long stream in Wuyun Mountain, and Meijiawu, which is shaded by Wuyun Mountain, is very close to Shifeng. The two places are close to each other and are rich in green, fragrant, mellow and beautiful Longjing. In recent years, rich people like to visit several major Longjings.

Buy dozens of acres of tea gardens in the production area and build a separate courtyard.

, it’s a good place to escape the heat and drink tea in your free time. The environment in this mountain is naturally more comfortable than the environment in the city. No wonder the rich enjoy it so much. Not long after Suzaku came to Hangzhou, he also let Shadow’s company open in Meijiawu

Purchased a large tea garden

, compared to the petty troubles of ordinary wealthy people, this was considered a big deal. Later, this tea garden was transferred to Jiangnan Private Club. After discussing with the Gu family, Jiangnan Private Club continued to stock up on a large area of ​​tea gardens around it.

The sky beside the tea garden

A hotel similar to Aman Fayun was built on the ground and became the supporting facilities of Jiangnan Private Club. It only serves Jiangnan members. It has become quite famous in Hangzhou in recent years. Suzaku occasionally comes here to drink tea.

Meditate for a few days.

This hotel, backed by green mountains and tea gardens, has the same name as a private club in Jiangnan, called Jiangnan Mansion. The pavilions and pavilions are like the ancestral residences of ancient wealthy families. The Gu family specially found the architectural style designed by the famous designer Ai Momo through their connections.

Mo Mo is also the chief designer of the new Jiangnan private club that was just completed last year. As for the old Jiangnan at West Lake Hyatt, it has been returned to its original owner.

Jiangnan Mansion has an open-air teahouse facing the Qingshan Tea Garden. It has a pure wooden structure style and is a bit like Southeast Asian architecture. In the evening, the breeze is gentle. Because Jiangnan Mansion is only a supporting facility of Jiangnan Private Club and only serves Jiangnan members, there is not much

guest

The people seemed very quiet. In the open-air teahouse, Qinglong and Zhuque were sitting in the corner near the railing. Next to Zhuque stood a woman who still had charm. It was Qingluan who was called back by Zhuque. Qingluan

His face looked haggard, and he felt a little lost.

Jiangnan's tea is the best produced in its own tea garden and is only available to members. Every year when new tea comes out, Jiangnan Mansion will give it to some high-level members to taste. Zhuque and Qinglong drank their own Longjing and looked at the darkening scenery in the distance.

mountains, evening

The sun shone on them through the clouds and mist, and the wrinkles and vicissitudes on their faces became clearer. Suddenly, I remembered that they were already over fifty, no longer young, full of vicissitudes of life, and the most glorious moments in their lives had been dedicated to them.

The Li family will be like this in the future.

"Hate me?" Zhuque, who was dressed as plainly as ever, had a jade hairpin in her hair today. The hairpin was a phoenix, which was quite stunning. This was the first time Qingluan had faced Zhuque after the Northeast turmoil.

She was transferred to the southwest by Suzaku. Shadow's situation in the southwest became increasingly difficult. Suzaku had to take it seriously. At least she recognized Qingluan's ability, otherwise she would not have let Qingluan go to the northeast alone.

"I don't dare," Qingluan replied coldly, seeming to have given the correct answer.

Suzaku was slightly angry. He picked up the teacup calmly and snorted, "Are you demonstrating to me? Qingluan, I think I should know you better than you do yourself."

"You are the master and I am the servant." Qingluan said mockingly.

Suzaku smiled bitterly and said, "You and I are just servants of the Li family. The master of the Li family only has three lives."

Qingluan sighed bitterly, "In your eyes, anything can be sacrificed, and three lives is not an exaggeration. So I don't hate you. Compared to three lives, my weight is really too small."

Qingluan is still angry and hates Suzaku. Now, she has no face to return to Northeast China. She doesn't know how to face Li Yanhuang and others, how to face Northeast China who has been through life and death together but is now lying in the grave.

Brothers, that is where Li Yanhuang was born.

My brother who has been dead for many years, if he could have resisted, perhaps these people would not have died, these things would not have happened in the Northeast, and Li Yanhuang would not have been exhausted mentally and physically. Even if Li Yanhuang would forgive her after knowing the cause and effect of everything, Qingluan would also

I can no longer set foot on that land.

"Qingluan, it seems that my indifference to you all these years has made you completely unaware of your identity. When you stepped into the shadow door, you should have understood what you want to do in this life.

What happened?" Suzaku couldn't help but get angry and responded suddenly.

"I understand that we are all dispensable chess pieces that can be sacrificed for the Li family at any time, but what I have never understood is why San Sheng can also become your chess piece. If San Sheng dies, I want to know where we are.

Who are you fighting for, the Li family? Without Sansheng, will there still be the Li family?" Qingluan is not afraid of Suzaku's anger. Perhaps this is the first time in so many years that she has confronted Suzaku so confidently.

Suzaku suddenly sighed heavily and replied, "Who understands my difficulties?"

It only takes 20 minutes to walk from the West Lake State Guesthouse to the Meijiawu Jiangnan Mansion via Meiling North Road. Qinghe drove a relatively rare white Audi A7 and was silent along the way.

Looking for opportunities to joke with Qing He with great interest

, and later on, he completely lost interest. Li Sansheng knew that Qing He was angry, so he wisely did not touch his brows, and continued reading the book "The Colonel No One Wrote to Him". For this book, he thought that it was enough to surpass "The Colonel" by Marquez.

The masterpiece "One Hundred Years of Solitude" by Li San

I knew a little bit about it before I was born, but I had never read it. I only knew that the story was about an old colonel in his seventies, who lived a desperate life waiting for his retirement pension for fifty-six years. This famous "no one wrote to him"

"Colonel of Letters", known as "The Colonel of the 20th Century"

"The most unforgettable character in the novel", and the ending of the novel is also known as "the most perfect paragraph in all literary works". I accidentally saw it in a bookstore today. Li Sansheng was like a child discovering a mysterious garden, staggering in.

, happy to miss Shu.

García Márquez is one of the foreign writers that Li Sansheng admires. If many of a writer's works revolve around a land, a country, a town and a group of people in the town, then readers will secretly speculate.

Is his world too simple and boring? But when Marquez really did this, his

Readers have firmly discovered that there is a huge treasure house hidden behind the so-called boringness, just like there are bays, islands and aircraft carriers in the sea. As long as we shout open sesame, "One Hundred Years of Solitude", "Dead Branches" and "Evil Hours"

, and "The Colonel Who No One Writes to Him" ​​will appear in front of you, seemingly blank but actually rich.

Li Sansheng watched with gusto. He was thinking about an old colonel in his seventies, who had a wife, a dead son, and a skinny, unprotected fighting cock. Apart from that, he had nothing. Every Friday

On the mornings of the novel, he went to the dock to wait for the mail ship, hoping to receive the retirement pension from the government, but until the end of the novel, he had not received anything.

This reminded Li Sansheng of the same scene. He was an old man over seventy years old. He had a grandson, a broken wooden erhu, and a loofah wine gourd. In addition, he had nothing else. Every morning and dusk, he sat

What was waiting for him under the old locust tree? He waited for more than 20 years, and even until his death, he did not wait.

When Qinghe parked the Audi A7 steadily in front of the Meijiawu Jiangnan Mansion, Li Sansheng finally finished reading the last part of the book "The Colonel Who No One Wrote to Him", closed the book steadily, and spoke for a long time.

Exhaling, it's like the end of a journey. For him, every book is a sad journey, guiding us to our own tomorrow. Thanks to the authors who have guided us.

"Jiangnan Mansion, a nice place." After getting off the car, Li Sansheng looked up at Jiangnan Mansion and said softly. Naturally, he didn't know that it was owned by Jiangnan Private Club.

Qing He frowned slightly and explained, "This was completed the year before last and belongs to the Jiangnan Club."

Li Sansheng was a little surprised. He didn't expect that Jiangnan Club had such wonderful features...

When Qinghe took Li Sansheng and thirty strange squid through the Jiangnan Mansion and finally found Qinglong and Suzaku, Qingluan's angry mood finally calmed down, and she seemed to understand some of Suzaku's difficulties. There were not many guests in the teahouse, Qinglong and

Zhuque slowly stood up, faced Li Sansheng, lowered his head slightly and said, "Master of the family."

Li Sansheng had a playful look on his lips, sat down as if no one else was around, and chuckled, "Aunt Suzaku, I thought you would always avoid me."

"Suzaku is a servant of the Li family. Whenever the master of the Li family wants to see Zhuque, Zhuque will appear in front of him." Li Sansheng did not say sit down, and no one in the group dared to do so. Thirty Weibo looked at him with a strange look.

He looked at Zhuque and Qinglong, including Qingluan who looked confused.

Li Sansheng laughed out loud, took a tea cup from the table, drank to himself and replied, "I didn't expect Aunt Zhuque to know that she was a servant. This somewhat surprised me."

"Master, I don't understand what Zhuque said." Since Li Sansheng wanted to play Tai Chi with her, Suzaku could only deal with it. From the moment Li Sansheng's words came out, Suzaku had already guessed something.

Li Sansheng smiled and said, "Aunt Zhuque, do you understand that I thought that if I died that night, the Li family would be able to change its appearance, and you could finally stop working for the Li family and escape from the bondage?"

Li Sansheng had put what happened that night on the table and said that Zhuque had no way out. He said in a deep voice, "Suzaku made mistakes and was willing to be punished without any complaints. It's just that the master doubted Zhuque's loyalty, which Zhuque couldn't accept."

"How can I not doubt it? I almost died in Beijing that night. Then I would like to ask why you suppressed the shadow intelligence and why you ordered Qingluan to intercept the intelligence from the Northeast. How can I not doubt this?

?" Li Sansheng yelled loudly, and Qing He was startled by his sudden anger.

Qinglong was sensible enough to say nothing. He was not even qualified to play a supporting role in this scene. He should be smart and be a bystander.

"Master, don't you know why I did what I did?" Zhuque was not angry because of Li Sansheng's anger. What she was angry about was that Li Sansheng asked questions knowingly.
