Skilled in managing a house

Zhang Yu followed Tao Xindi and walked up the mountain. After walking for a while, a high-gate courtyard appeared in front of him.

The height of the courtyard wall must be completely higher than the outer courtyard wall, at least four meters. The courtyard wall is red, and there is an archway on the front with a plaque hanging on it. On the plaque are three characters written in gold paint - Yangxing Pavilion.

The so-called self-cultivation, since this place is called Yangxing Pavilion, people who want to live here must have passed the stage of self-cultivation.

On the left and right sides of the gate, four men in white Chinese tunic suits stood. When these four men saw Tao Xindi approaching, they quickly bowed and said, "Young Master." "Young Master."...

"Yes." Tao Xindi nodded slightly, then made a gesture of invitation to Zhang Yu and said, "Brother Zhang, this is my father's residence, please."

"Brother Tao, please." Zhang Yu also made a gesture of invitation.

The two of them walked forward hand in hand and entered the gate together. Entering the gate was a large screen wall. Going around the screen wall, there was a garden courtyard. The rockeries, flower beds, especially the pruned trees, are full of poetry and painting. There are tall trees and low trees, deciduous trees and evergreen trees, and a variety of flowers and trees that bloom at different times, so you won't feel lonely all year round. There are no pines and cypresses trimmed like pagodas, no roadside trees like military parades. The ancient wisteria and its winding branches are a good painting. When it blooms, the eyes are full of jewels, making people feel infinite prosperity and joy, but they can't express it.

Tao Xindi led Zhang Yu forward along the corridor. As he was walking, Zhang Yu suddenly heard the sound of wind in front of him, "Huhuhuhu..."

As soon as he heard the wind, Zhang Yu was sure that it could not be a natural wind, but was caused by man-made wind. Looking up, even at night, it is not difficult to see flying flowers scattered in the air in front of you, as if there is a flower rain.

Zhang Yu saw this, and Tao Xindi, who was walking next to him, naturally saw it too. Tao Xindi said gently: "Who is in front?"

As he spoke, he kept walking forward without stopping. Zhang Yu saw that he didn't stop, so naturally he didn't stop either. The two of them only took a few steps forward when the sound of footsteps came from Hua Yu.

As Zhang Yu followed, he saw a girl wearing a white short skirt walking over. The girl was not tall, about 1.63 meters tall, but she had a graceful figure and a cute and cute appearance. Zhang Yu saw the girl, and the girl naturally saw him and Tao Xindi. The girl said politely: "Uncle."

"What are you doing, girl?" Tao Xindi said gently.

"Practice... As soon as I came back, I heard that my third uncle was injured. Who is so audacious? He dares to beat even members of our family. I simply don't want to live... Uncle, when are you going to give me help?" Third uncle will take revenge when the time comes..." the girl said angrily.

"You just came home, so you'd better have a good rest first. Don't worry about revenge. I will definitely kill your third uncle's person with my own sword." Tao Xindi said sternly.

"I don't want to rest, I must practice diligently. This time I went out to do things, it really made me see what it means that there are people outside the world, and there is a sky outside the world... I originally thought that I was one of the best among young people... ...Now I realize that I am a bit of a frog in the well..." the girl said with a flat mouth.

"It's good to know, otherwise my family won't be able to tell you..." After Tao Xindi finished speaking, she subconsciously turned her head and glanced at Zhang Yu. She didn't continue, but paused for a moment, and then said: " Okay, I’m going to take the guests to see your grandpa now. Your father should be back soon, and let him give you some guidance then..."

"Yeah." The girl nodded.

"Brother Zhang, this is the girl from my second brother's family... Let's go see the old man first..." Tao Xinte said with a smile, and made an invitation gesture to Zhang Yu.

Zhang Yu nodded and continued walking forward with Tao Xindi.

The girl stepped aside. When Zhang Yu and Tao Xindi passed by the girl, they couldn't help turning their heads to look at the girl. There was a reason for this. He found that the girl's voice sounded familiar. However, it seems that I have never seen this girl before.

The girl also noticed that Zhang Yu was sizing her up, and she subconsciously also sized up Zhang Yu.

When Zhang Yu saw the girl noticed his gaze, he quickly turned his head and continued to move forward without squinting. After all, it is not appropriate for a grown man to look at a girl.

The girl was still staring at Zhang Yu's back, not knowing what she was thinking.

The flying flowers in front have all fallen to the ground, and the petals all over the ground exude an intoxicating fragrance. Zhang Yu and Tao Xindi walked across the petals and walked a short distance ahead to see the two-sided houses in front of them.

There were eight or nine houses in total, ranging from large to small. Tao Xindi did not enter these houses, but moved forward. There is a moon gate in front. After passing the moon gate, there is a small pond in front. There are pavilions and arch bridges on the pond, and on the other side of the pond, there is a two-story building.

The door to the first floor of this two-story building is open, with lights on inside. Tao Xindi led Zhang Yu across the arch bridge until he came to the second floor. Because the door was open, Zhang Yu could see clearly that this was a large main room with an antique style. Sitting on the upper floor was an old man over sixty years old, drinking tea.

Tao Xindi did not go in immediately, but said respectfully: "Father, Taoist Zhang is here."

"Invite him to come in, and you wait in front." The old man sitting inside said gently.

"Yes, father." Tao Xindi agreed, then made an invitation gesture to Zhang Yu and said, "Daozhang Zhang, my father invites you to come in and talk."

Zhang Yu also heard that it was the old man of the Tao family who invited him in alone. Zhang Yu nodded, and then said: "Thank you, Mr. Tao."

After saying that, he stepped towards the door.

As he walked forward, Tao Xindi also turned around and walked towards the arch bridge when he came.

When Zhang Yu entered the main room, he was obliged to greet him first. He bowed his hands and said, "This junior has no right to visit the Taoist temple. Zhang Yu pays homage to my senior. I have heard your senior's name for a long time, and it is like thunder in my ears. It is really a blessing for this junior that I can see him today."

"No need to be polite, Taoist Zhang, please take a seat quickly." The old man said, stretching out his hand to signal Zhang Yu to sit down.

"Thank you, senior." Zhang Yu responded, then walked to where the old man indicated for him to sit and sat down.

When he walked over, he couldn't help but look at the old man. The old man was wearing a lavender robe, his face was radiant, and he didn't seem to have many wrinkles. However, time is not forgiving, and gray hair has appeared on my head. The old man looks friendly and approachable, but if you look at him a few more times, he will give you a sense of superiority and power.

After Zhang Yu took his seat, he immediately raised his hands and said, "I wonder if the senior has any advice for asking the junior to come here."

"I have already heard about what happened today, and it was only thanks to Taoist Zhang that I found out the truth about the missing Tianyin Qin. I asked Taoist priest to come here, and I really want to thank Taoist Zhang in person." The old man said calmly.
