"Little master, the dishes will be ready soon, please come in."

Zheng Yunjie greeted him enthusiastically, and Shen Lang responded with a nod and a smile.

After exchanging pleasantries, Zheng Yunjie brought Shen Lang to a luxurious restaurant in Jiangnan Hou's Mansion.

Before he could sit down, Zheng Nanshan came down from upstairs.

Out of politeness, Shen Lang greeted Zheng Nanshan, "This should be Mr. Zheng Nanshan, Mr. Zheng."

It should be understandable for a young man to greet an older man politely.

I saw that Zheng Nanshan nodded lightly and said, "Well, sit down."

Now, Zheng Nanshan hasn't found out the depth of Shen Lang, so he is only being polite on the surface, but he is secretly observing Shen Lang's every word and deed in his heart.

At this moment, Shen Lang asked 9526 to hand over a handbag.

"Mr. Zheng, these are newly picked lotus seeds. Lotus seeds are a good medicine for nourishing the mind, calming the nerves, and invigorating the kidneys. Mr. Zheng can use them to fry lotus seeds."

This bag of lotus seeds was picked by the young servant sister of Shen Langrang's house.

Lotus seeds can clear the heart and wake up the spleen, nourish the spleen and relieve diarrhea, nourish the heart, soothe the mind and improve eyesight, nourish the middle and nourish the mind, strengthen the spleen and stomach, stop diarrhea and solidify essence, and nourish vitality.

This is just a little care of Shen Lang, he will not bring very expensive gifts because it is not necessary.

He is a guest tonight, just a little bit of thought.

Besides, this lotus seed is not a bad gift, because it is not an ordinary lotus seed.

Seeing that Shen Lang handed over the prepared gift, Zheng Yunjie naturally took it with joy.

No matter what gift Shen Lang sent, even if it was just a broken stone picked up by the side of the road, Zheng Yunjie would not dislike it, he would still regard it as a treasure.

Zheng Nanshan, on the other hand, seemed to have a little disdain for this gift from Shen Lang.

His Zheng family is not short of money, and he doesn't need too expensive gifts from the other party, but he feels that it is the season for picking lotus seeds, and the lotus seeds on the roadside stalls are all rotten, and they are too cheap.

This kind of thing that can be bought anywhere makes Zheng Nanshan feel that Shen Lang is very perfunctory, even if he is not attending any particularly important occasion tonight, there is no need to give such a shabby gift, it is too perfunctory.

However, Zheng Nanshan did not choose to speak directly, but deliberately hinted at Shen Lang.

"You can pick lotus in the south of the Yangtze River, lotus leaves and He Tiantian. Fish play among the lotus leaves. Fish play with lotus leaves in the east, fish play with lotus leaves in the west, fish play with lotus leaves in the south, and fish play with lotus leaves in the north. This year's lotus seeds are still so vigorous. , The day before yesterday I drove to the countryside to go fishing, and there were lotus seeds sellers on both sides of the road.”

Zheng Nanshan's implication is that it is the season when lotus seeds are picked, and the street is already rotten, but Shen Lang is holding a bag of lotus seeds to fool people. This gift is too cheap.

As for Shen Lang, he had already heard Zheng Nanshan's hint, and his eyes also changed rapidly.

"Old Mr. Zheng, don't underestimate this bag of lotus seeds. There are very few people in Jiangnan who can eat this bag of lotus seeds. Even your Jiangnan Yongding Houfu can't just eat it casually."

What Shen Lang said is true, these are lotus seeds picked from Song Garden, common people have no chance to enter Song Garden.

Moreover, the lotus pond in the Song Garden has a rich and long history, even much older than the construction of the Jiangnan Marquis Mansion.

Ordinary people have very few opportunities to enter Song Garden. Even in the whole of Jiangnan, those so-called rich and powerful have entered very few. Even if they are lucky enough to enter a few times, the stay time is very short. After all, this is not a public attraction. .

When Zheng Nanshan heard Shen Lang say this, he thought it was ridiculous, he scoffed at it, and was very disdainful.

"Hehe, I've never heard of the saying that you can't eat lotus seeds in Jiangnan. The land in Jiangnan is rich in lotus seeds in this season. It's not easy to be late. In Jiangnan, I only need Zheng Nanshan Whatever you want, you will definitely get it, not to mention the lotus seeds on the street." Zheng Nanshan said with a sneer.

And Shen Lang didn't save face for the other party at all.

He also said bluntly: "Really? Then, have you eaten the lotus seeds in the Song Garden?"

This sentence undoubtedly made Zheng Nanshan unable to refute.

There was a sudden coldness in his eyes.

No one has ever dared to talk to you like that, but I never thought that I would be stopped by a single sentence from the other party tonight.

Yes, this question really stumped Zheng Nanshan.

Zheng Nanshan did go into Song Garden a few times, but it was always in winter.In winter, the lotus seeds are long gone, and even the lotus leaves in the lotus pond are in a state of depression.

In Song Garden in winter, you can enjoy the snow scene, but it is impossible to watch the moonlight in the lotus pond.

"Have I eaten or not, do I have to tell you clearly? You are a foreigner, so you know Song Yuan." Zheng Nanshan fought back unconvinced.

"Song Garden is the most luxurious mansion in the south of the Yangtze River. How can I not know it? As an outsider, I have entered and exited Song Garden many times, and I can also pick the lotus seeds of the season. Could it be that you, a local dignitary, have not experienced it before?" Shen Lang said coldly. .

Zheng Nanshan seemed to feel a [-]-point critical blow, and a surge of anger rose in his heart, wishing to crush Shen Lang immediately.

It is very difficult for him, the Marquis of Yongding in the south of the Yangtze River, to get the opportunity to enter and leave the Song Garden, and even to drink a glass of wine in the Song Garden Lake Pavilion, which is his lifelong pursuit!

However, Song Garden is privately owned, and it is owned by others. It is not a park open to the public, and only staff who regularly maintain the garden flowers and plants can enter.

Therefore, in the past few years, Zheng Nanshan, the gardener of Song Garden, went in to take a look at it in winter.

The flowers and plants don’t need to be taken care of much in winter, so the staff inside will be much less. Only in this way can Zheng Nanshan have the opportunity to enter.

This is enough to prove that Song Garden is not something that anyone can enter if they want to. Even a local dignitary like the Marquis of Yongding in the south of the Yangtze River can only look at the high white wall and let out a long sigh.

Shen Lang's words at this moment undoubtedly hit Zheng Nanshan's pain point.

"Of course I have experienced it! Every summer, I go to Song Garden, go to the Huxin Pavilion to drink a glass of wine, let the servants play a few ancient tunes, after a little drunk, take a few old friends with me, and take a dragon boat to visit the beautiful scenery of the whole lake. Picking lotus seeds with your own hands is very pleasant!"

For the sake of face, Zheng Nanshan lied that he went to Song Garden to watch the lotus, and also picked lotus seeds by himself, and experienced taking a dragon boat tour on the lake.

However, Shen Lang couldn't help laughing.

"When the lotus pond comes to summer and autumn, it is full of lotus leaves, and only small boats can shuttle through it. How can you take a dragon boat to swim the whole lake? If the dragon boat destroys the lotus rhyme in the hall, the master will break your legs."

Zheng Nanshan frowned and said angrily: "What do you know, have you ever been to Song Garden? How can someone who has never been there know that the lotus pond can't accommodate a dragon boat?!"

Shen Lang should have asked Zheng Nanshan this sentence.

"Coincidentally, I have actually been there. Not only have I been there, but I have also lived there."
