step on mountains and rivers

After Hua Yuefu came back from the auction, she was in a very bad mood. She walked into the room angrily, smashed all the tea sets into pieces, then got angry at the maids, and cursed:

"That man surnamed Tang is really abominable. He dared to snatch what this lady wanted. He is abominable, extremely abominable! I thought he was a modest gentleman, but from this point of view, he is nothing more than a rascal! Damn it!"

At this time, a middle-aged man in gorgeous clothes came in from the outside. Seeing Hua Yuefu throwing things with anger on his face, he hurried into the room to stop her and comforted her:

"Ouch, my precious daughter, what happened? Who made you so angry? Tell daddy, daddy will help you vent your anger."

"Father." Hua Yuefu flung herself into the middle-aged man's arms with a coquettish sound, and cried loudly, "It's not that Tang, he, he dared to snatch the spirit stone that I was looking for! Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo ......"

"Oh, baby, don't cry, baby, isn't it just a spirit stone, daddy will buy you another one, better one." Hua Disong said.

"Daddy, it's not a question of whether it's good or not, I just want that one!" Hua Yuefu said angrily.

"Okay, okay, Daddy will help you. Then tell me who is that Tang man? Where is his home? What spirit stone? How much did he pay for it? Daddy will buy it for you." Hua Disong asked comfortingly.

"Well, that man's name is Tang Qingfeng, a friend of Jiangling's, who lives in the West Lake Courtyard. What he stole was an ice-blue spirit stone, and he bullied me because I had no money, so he spent 10 taels to steal my spirit stone." Stone." Hua Yuefu said angrily.

"West Lake Bieyuan... 10 taels..." Hua Disong thought deeply.

"Well, what's the matter, Daddy?" Hua Yuefu asked.

"My dear girl, the West Lake Bieyuan is the estate of Shuxianglou. This Shuxianglou has a great background and has branches all over the country. The forces behind it are extensive and extremely complicated. That Tang Qingfeng's move is so generous, it must be He is an important person in Shuxianglou, so let's not provoke him, let's forget about the Lingshi, daddy will buy you other good things, okay?" Hua Disong comforted.

"No! Daddy, you are the big owner of Hanghai Shipbuilding, you are afraid of him? No matter how powerful they are at Shuxianglou, they are not as powerful as Daddy's Hanghai Shipbuilding in Hangzhou." Hua Yuefu said.

"Although this is the truth, we are business people, so it's better to be on the safe side without causing trouble." Hua Disong said.

"Daddy." Hua Yuefu tugged Hua Disong's sleeve coquettishly.

"Okay, okay, what do you want?" Hua Disong couldn't stand her coquettishness, so he asked.

Hua Yuefu thought for a while, then smiled and said:

"Since Dad said that Tang Qingfeng is from Shuxianglou and he doesn't want to mess with him, then we'll make him ours, and kick him away after we're done using it."

"Huh? He is stranger to us. You have had conflicts with him. How did he become one of us?" Hua Disong asked.

"Father, don't worry, I have my own way." Hua Yuefu told the maids to prepare.

The next day, Jiang Ling came to the West Lake Courtyard very early, Li Zhenwu was meditating, and Tang Qingfeng was drinking tea with Lu Qing.Seeing that the three of them were very relaxed, Jiang Ling felt envious and said:

"Old Tang, you guys are too leisurely."

"Old Jiang? Why are you here? What's the matter?" Tang Qingfeng asked.

"Of course I came to see you for something. I'm not as leisurely as you are." Jiang Ling said as he sat down and took a sip of tea, then threw out an invitation and said to Tang Qingfeng:

"Old Tang, Miss Hua is holding a flower boat poetry meeting in West Lake, and I invite you to attend."

"Not interested." Tang Qingfeng didn't even glance at the invitation. Seeing that Li Zhenwu had finished meditating, he poured a cup of tea and walked towards him.

"Zhenwu." Tang Qingfeng handed the tea to Li Zhenwu, and Li Zhenwu thanked him and drank the tea.

Jiang Ling looked at Tang Qingfeng and said seriously:

"Old Tang, you must go."

"Why?" Tang Qingfeng glanced at Jiang Ling and asked in confusion.

"Miss Hua said that she wants to choose Mr. Ruyi at the poetry conference, so you have to help Heimu." Jiang Ling explained.

"Isn't there still you?" Tang Qingfeng asked.

"Old Tang, although I'm a good fighter, I don't know anything about these literary matters. How can I help him?" Jiang Ling said.

Tang Qingfeng looked at Jiang Ling, pondered for a while, and said:

"Okay. Just help him once. If it still doesn't work, you don't need to waste your energy to deal with him, just ask him directly."

"Old Tang, it doesn't seem very good to ask questions." Jiang Ling hesitated.

"The matter of the Four Sacred Palaces is urgent, and we can't waste it any longer." Tang Qingfeng looked at Jiang Ling and said seriously.

"Then, all right." Jiang Ling nodded.

"Well, let's go." Tang Qingfeng said.

"Okay." Jiang Ling returned, and then led them towards the flower boat on the east side of the West Lake.

Half an hour later, everyone arrived at the place where the flower boat was.

I saw a huge flower boat parked on the West Lake, the hull is divided into two layers.In the middle of the hull are the upper and lower decks. The deck is very long and occupies two thirds of the hull.The two ends of the ship are upper and lower houses. The upper house is open in the form of a pavilion, and the lower house is closed.Below the deck, a faint blue smoke emitted from the windows above the side of the ship.On the deck, people came and went, and it was very lively.

The three of them followed Jiang Ling onto the boat, and when Hua Yuefu saw the crowd coming, she quickly greeted them with a smile.

She looked at Tang Qingfeng with a smile and said:

"Young Master Tang, I was afraid that you would not come because of yesterday's incident. Now it seems that I am being stingy."

"I didn't take what happened yesterday to my heart. Miss Hua doesn't need to worry too much." Tang Qingfeng said with a smile.

"...That's good." Hua Yuefu said with an embarrassed smile: "Mr. Tang, please take a seat. You can have some snacks first. Wait for a while until everyone arrives. The conference can begin."

"Okay." Tang Qingfeng replied.

"Well, then I'll entertain the guests first, Mr. Tang can do whatever you want." After Hua Yuefu finished speaking, she went to entertain the guests who came one after another.

Tang Qingfeng and the others found a seat and sat down, looking at the people coming and going on the deck, except for the servant girl of the Hua family, the rest were almost all children of rich families.

"Miss Hua, she has a lot of friends. All the children from rich families who are a little bit famous in Hangzhou City are all here." Tang Qingfeng said in a low voice.

"Yeah, Miss Hua is very popular. In the past few days with her, dozens of rich kids rushed to give her something." Jiang Ling sighed.

"Excellent indeed." Tang Qingfeng said with a smile.

"So many friends, are you too busy to come?" Lu Qing asked displeased.

"She is too busy, so she is very busy every day." Jiang Ling replied

"What are you busy with, are you busy receiving presents?" Lu Qing asked

"It's extremely rare for her to have so many friends competing to give gifts. Unlike my friends, who want to have a good meal, they have to do coolies." Jiang Ling looked at Tang Qingfeng while talking, but Tang Qingfeng ignored him. Complaining, just carefully checking the people on the boat.

"Having more friends may not be a good thing." Li Zhenwu said.

"Oh? How do you say it?" Jiang Ling asked.

Li Zhenwu looked at him and said slowly: "Friends need to be friends with each other with heart. There is only one heart. How can we share it with so many people at the same time? Those who get it will be happy, but those who can't get it are extremely pitiful. From this point of view, it's better to end it early and only hand it over to people who have sincere friendship."

"Brother Li is right." Jiang Ling nodded, as if realizing something, and then asked: "Brother Li, what kind of person is a person who has sincere friendship?"

Tang Qingfeng was observing the crowd. After hearing Jiang Ling's words, he looked away and looked at Li Zhenwu.

"I don't have many friends. To me, Brother Tang and you are the people I really know." Li Zhenwu said.

After hearing Li Zhenwu's words, Jiang Ling was so moved that he was about to cry.He looked at Li Zhenwu and said seriously: "Brother Li, from now on, you and I will be brothers, and if I have a bite to eat, you will never be hungry."

"It's fine if you can't eat, don't bring Zhenwu with you, he looks like someone who can't afford food?" Tang Qingfeng said with a glance at Jiang Ling.

"I'm just making an analogy, Old Tang, you're too biased, why should I let it go if I can't eat?" Jiang Ling complained.

Li Zhenwu looked at Jiang Ling and smiled and said: "Brother Jiang, don't be angry, Brother Tang is just talking. Brother Tang and Brother Jiang are like brothers, but others can't get it."

"Indeed." Jiang Ling nodded thoughtfully after listening to Li Zhenwu's words. He had long regarded Tang Qingfeng as a brother, a brother who was closer than his own brother.If he exchanged Miss Hua's friends, 1 of them would not.

Jiang Ling looked at Tang Qingfeng and said, "Okay, Old Tang, I forgive you."

"I need your forgiveness?" Tang Qingfeng glanced at him and said indifferently.

When Tang Qingfeng said this, Jiang Ling almost died of anger.Tang Qingfeng ignored him, looked at Li Zhenwu and said seriously:

"Zhenwu doesn't have to be envious, what he said that day is the same today."

"Yeah." Li Zhenwu lowered his head slightly and returned.

"What do you mean?" Jiang Ling looked at Tang Qingfeng in confusion and asked.

"It has nothing to do with you." Tang Qingfeng replied mercilessly.

Jiang Ling looked at Tang Qingfeng, then at Li Zhenwu, with a puzzled look on his face.

Lu Qing looked at the two of them, and then at Jiang Ling.He already understood what Tang Qingfeng was thinking.Somehow, he was a little envious of Li Zhenwu, maybe after staying with these people for a long time, he also developed feelings that he shouldn't have.

While several people were discussing, the guests had arrived one after another and seated themselves in the venue, Hei Mu also rushed over, and saw that he was wearing a gorgeous long gown, which was extraordinarily luxurious.He saw Jiang Ling in the crowd, then walked towards them and sat among them.Hua Yuefu saw that everyone had arrived, so she walked slowly to sit on the main seat, and said softly:

"Today, the little girl makes friends with literature, and intends to choose a good Xu to marry. I also hope that all the young masters will do their best to show their talents, so that the little girl can choose conveniently."

"it is good!"

"Miss Hua, don't worry."

"Today must be me!"

"It's a big breath, I don't think it may be!"

After hearing her words, the people in the audience became excited instantly, shouting that they wanted to win the competition and take Miss Hua as their wife.

Hua Yuefu looked at the audience who were crazy about her, with a smug smile in her eyes.She looked at the crowd quietly, but saw that Tang Qingfeng was drinking tea comfortably, and he didn't even glance at her out of the corner of his eye. He was only talking to the priest next to him, and the two chatted for some time What, the smile is very happy.

Hua Yuefu looked at the two of them quietly, holding the teacup tightly with her right hand, trying to crush it.She resisted the urge to throw the teacup out on the spot, and slowly suppressed her anger.
