Chapter 614 Testing Each Other

Fang Canran smiled and said, "This dreamland actually exists in a small town ninety miles northwest of Lingxu City. There should still be two or three thousand residents, so it will not disappear in a short time. The mountains and rivers there are beautiful, the folk customs are simple, and the women are gentle and beautiful. Mr. He can experience it carefully in his dreams."

He Lingchuan was moved: "Thank you, Mr. Fang, this is exactly what I need right now!"

The nightmare deposited in Panlong City is howling all day long, and he has to find a nest for this guy.

But Fang Canran seems to be smiling a little strangely?

And then He Lingchuan has to pay for it.

Dunyuan mainly deals in rare treasures and is one of the largest treasure merchants in Lingxu City. It regularly holds auctions to promote and maintain its own brand. As long as buyers need unusual treasures like Dreamland, Shuyuan will find a way to find them.

Of course, the price of a certain product is definitely not low.

This small town Dreamland ate up his 9,600 taels of silver in one go.

Eight thousand of them are the purchase price, which needs to be transferred to the seller; Dunyuan will also charge another 20% handling fee, which is 1,600 taels.

Although Fang Canran smiled reservedly, he was not polite at all when collecting the money.

He Lingchuan also felt pain in his heart. He spent nearly 10,000 taels of silver (nearly 10 million yuan) to buy a toy. This really confirmed his reputation as a playboy.

Of course, he smiled nonchalantly on the surface: "Manager Fang is a busy man. It's rare for me to catch him once. How about staying at Pianxiang Villa tonight and having a simple meal?"

He just mentioned it casually, but he didn't expect Fang Canran to agree happily: "That's great. I have heard that the honey wine in Pianxiang Villa is delicious. Even Commander Fan San is drooling over it."

This guy is really well-informed. "It's a piece of cake. As much as you can."

Of course, it's not dark yet, and it's not time to drink. Fang Canran picked up the teacup and started a conversation again: "Mr. He is a young and talented man. Are you really from Fu?"

"Well, my origin is not worth mentioning."

"Heroes are not judged by their origins. Lingxu City has many heroes from small countries, and now they have a seat in the court." Fang Canran waved his hand, "You see, my ancestors were not native to Lingxu City, but they came a few decades earlier than Mr. He."

"Lingxu City has been established for nearly 600 years. For people like you and me, there is no bonus if we come a few decades earlier or later. We have to rely on our own hard work." He Lingchuan smiled, "Where is the ancestral home of General Manager Fang?"

"My ancestors wandered around the world, but I heard that they first lived in Tabu, which is now near the southern border of Chiyan. I wonder if Mr. He has any impression?"

He Lingchuan exclaimed: "Yes, it's true! Mr. Fang's ancestral home is Chiyan, and we have a lot of fate."

Tabu is the border between the southern part of Chiyan and the Twilight Plains, where Fu Shanyue had a conflict with Zhongsun Mou. He Lingchuan's big-horned mountain goat was also plotted against by Mai Xuewen's (Xi Yunhe) men there, and was almost taken away by the snail toad.

He Lingchuan was surprised because he knew that Tabu belonged to the former Yuan Kingdom before the establishment of the Chiyan Kingdom!

Strictly speaking, it is part of the Twilight Plains. It's just that after the fall of the Yuan Kingdom and the establishment of Chiyan, the Demon Emperor included it in the territory of Chiyan.

So the civilians born here, although they are on the former land of the Yuan Kingdom, they are all Chiyan people with legal status, not pariahs of the Twilight Plains!

The particularity of this made He Lingchuan's mind race.

Did the other party specifically raise this point to him, and why?

Fang Canran smiled: "Yes, I felt that we were compatible when I first saw Mr. He."

"For this sentence, I should make it clear." He Lingchuan rubbed his hands, "Forget it, let's not wait for dinner. How about we go to the lake to drink first?"

"Okay!"

So the two of them walked to the back mountain, and the tiger that was originally dozing on the big tree outside the yard opened its eyes and snored.

This was Jiao Yu asking him if he wanted to go with him, and He Lingchuan waved his hand at it: "You go to sleep, Brother Fang and I will go to the boat to drink."

The space in the pleasure boat was too small, and after two people sat in it, the tiger couldn't stretch out inside.

The tiger put its big head back on the tree branch, hung its four legs, and continued to snore with its eyes closed.

Fang Canran said as he strolled around: "The ancient trees in the prince's garden are all treasures, and they are older than the trees in Dun Garden."

"Pianxiang Garden was also glorious in the hands of the previous owner, right?"

"Yes, 20 years ago, the Chunyu family married their daughter and held a banquet at Pianxiang Villa. At that time, my uncle brought me here to deliver goods. I still remember that there were so many guests here and the scene was very lively. Now--" Fang Canran sighed, "Now that the owner has changed, it is much quieter."

"With a look from the emperor, two hundred years of prosperity and wealth have become a thing of the past." The Chunyu family stood on the wrong side and was raided. "This is really a family that changes with the times, and Lingxu City is iron-clad."

Fang Canran looked at him and laughed: "Who said it wasn't?"

The laughter seemed to have its own meaning.

The two walked along the newly built pier to the boat. The servant had already arranged the wine and food and bowed to leave.

He Lingchuan personally rowed the boat and drove the pleasure boat to the center of the lake.

There is wind today, so the boat is drifting along the shallow waves, which is quite interesting.

The green lake is rippling, and the autumn light is glimpsed. Fang Canran praised: "Your lake is beautiful."

The sweet-scented osmanthus honey wine has been warmed in a small red clay stove. He Lingchuan filled Fang Canran's cup with seven points: "It is rumored that it is easy to see General Jinjiao, but it is difficult to invite General Fang."

Fang Canran is deeply trusted by General Jinjiao and manages a huge industry. It is said that Fang Canran is a seventh-rank official in front of the prime minister. He has power in his hands and is usually busy. It is a great honor to be invited to the banquet.

"Master He, don't you know that you are already very popular? I heard that the fifth son of the Ke family personally delivered this boat to your door, so why shouldn't I take a trip?" Fang Canran toasted to him, "Now in Lingxu In the city, Prince Chi Yan is the most popular, and Mr. He is the second."

oh? Do you already have such a high reputation in Lingxu City? He Lingchuan pointed towards the shore with his chopsticks: "I don't feel any benefits, only various inconveniences."

The two of them walked all the way, with tails following behind them.

Fang Canran also felt it, and turned back to look at the figure on the shore: "Is that Tongxinwei?"

"Yes. They follow me when I come in and out, even outside the toilet. It's very troublesome."

"There are no more than ten people in Lingxu City who can work together to guard the thatched building." Fang Canran said with a smile, "Young Master He should be proud. You must know that ladies and ladies from all over the world are also asking about you. , this is a good thing.”

"What a good thing?" He Lingchuan took a mouthful of vinegar peanuts. This is the cook's special skill. It's sour and sweet. Besides honey and vinegar, I don't know what else she put in. In short, it's sour but not overpowering, sweet but not greasy, soft on the outside and crispy on the inside. It goes well with wine. "Can we have an affair?"

"I can't tell." Fang Canran gave him a look that every man would understand.

He Lingchuan smiled and took a sip of wine.

Fang Canran asked him again: "After the elixir case is over, where will Mr. He go?"

This was the first outsider in Lingxu City to ask about his whereabouts. He Lingchuan's expression changed: "I originally wanted to come to Lingxu City to learn more, but unexpectedly I got involved in this kind of turmoil. I don't know if I can escape unscathed. I didn't dare to think about it. Things to do in the future.”

"General Jinjiao is eager for talents, and he has heard of Mr. He. If you are interested, I can help you recommend him."

He Lingchuan said curiously: "I don't know how to run a business. I will only cause trouble. I'm afraid I won't be able to make money for General Jinjiao."

"Skills have specializations." Fang Canran said, "With Mr. He's current reputation, others would never dream of envying him. It would be a pity not to dig into it."

He Lingchuan swung his wine glass: "Mr. Fang is saying that I should wait for the price and sell it, or choose a good owner and live there?"

"Does Mr. He have other ambitions?" Fang Canran said warmly, "Looking at the past hundreds of years, the heroes from all directions came to Lingxu City to work hard, just to sell their literary and martial arts to the emperor's family." Or, to sell them to princes, generals and ministers. It is also a noble way out.

What qualifications does the young man in front of him have to be exempted from the secular world?

He Lingchuan laughed and said, "My luck is shallow, so I'm afraid I won't be able to bear the wealth of Lingxu City."

"If Mr. He is not lucky enough, how can he go back and forth among these aristocratic families with ease?" Fang Canran raised the corner of his mouth, "If it were an ordinary person, he would have been dragged into the whirlpool, and he would not know whether he would live or die."

"Whirlpool?" He Lingchuan sighed, "I have offended Commander Fan Er, but Mr. Ke Wu sent me such a large boat. It became the focus of the audience that day, and the Fan brothers took a look at Pianxiang Villa that day. Right. Oh, aren't you putting me on the fire?"

"There are some disputes between these two parties. Whatever the Fan brothers are unhappy with, the Ke family will do it. I guess the Ke family probably did it intentionally because they were sure that the Fan brothers would show up at Pianxiang Villa that day." Fang Canran I couldn't help but laugh, "Master He happened to be meeting at the right time, he was just caught in the middle, otherwise they would have found other things to fight against each other."

He took a sip of wine and said, "I remember that one year, Commander-in-Chief Fan bought a pair of arm gauntlets in Dunyuan, which were suitable for the third son of the Fan family. When the Ke family saw it, they thought, hey, there's an opportunity, and they immediately went to increase the price. "

"Commander Fan didn't get it?" He Lingchuan had a fight with the violent bear in Baishaqian and couldn't remember what kind of armband it wore; having said that, if it had worn it, the knife might not be able to chop off its forearm. "It doesn't look like he has any money."

"Boss Fan saw how motivated the Ke family was, so he had to give up." Fang Canran shook his head, "The Ke family is not as good as Fan in terms of fighting ability; but when it comes to fighting for wealth... Want to compete with the Ke family for financial resources in Lingxu City? Everyone has to think carefully. think."

"Nothing is as rich as the Ke family, and their reputation is well-deserved." He Lingchuan shook his head, "Who wouldn't be envious after hearing that the Ke family has been favored by heaven for more than a hundred years?"

Fang Canran smiled: "Dunyuan and the Ke family have always had business relationships. The Ke family really doesn't care much about money when buying treasures. However, the quantity of goods that the Ke family has ordered from me for a long time has dropped a lot in the past ten years."

"Oh?" He Lingchuan asked curiously, "What kind of goods is it?"
