After thinking about it all night, Lan Chen combined the actual situation and came up with a clever plan in his mind.
Silver coins, he needs a lot of silver coins.
Whether it's a thousand dollars to redeem the house deed, a few hundred dollars for the daily expenses of the mansion, or to revive several of Lan Mansion's properties in Xuzhou.
Naturally, the top priority is still one thousand taels.
With only seven days left, the only option was to take advantage of the situation.
Push the door open and go out.
Zhu Laosan and Xiao Zhou were already waiting at the door.
"Master, please have a meal here."
The rice soup is served with steamed buns and wild vegetables. Although it is humble, it is warm and cozy.
Seeing the two of them just standing there, not taking their seats.
Lan Chen said slowly, "There are only three of us left in this house. It's quite deserted. Let's sit down and eat together."
"If not, I won't use this meal."
The two of them were stunned.
Seeing that Lan Chen's expression seemed serious, he had no choice but to do it.
Naturally, I felt anxious about eating this meal.
Lan Chen also understood that this matter could not be rushed. He took a few bites to fill his stomach and then stood up and said, "I have to go out, please use it slowly. By the way, Zhu Laosan, is there anyone else in our workshop?"
"There was a long-term worker there. He was said to be a long-term worker, but in fact he was also the former second boss. The master said at that time that the second boss had been working in the workshop for half his life, so he kept him here as a comfort."
When Zhu Laosan said these words, he was a little cautious, fearing that Lan Chen would drive away the second master.
"I know, I'm leaving."
"Master! Let me prepare a carriage for you. Are you going to the workshop?"
"Why don't you return the carriage at this time? The workshop will be there, but not now. I'll go shopping in Flower Street first."
After saying that, Lan Chen opened the door and left.
The two people were left looking at each other.
"The young master is going to Flower Street again."
"This...well, what should we do? I thought that the young master had finally changed, but I never thought about it. Xiao Zhou, you stay here, I will go and take a look."
"That's the only way it can be. Alas."
What made the two of them lament over and over again was this flower street, which was full of storytellers, singers, gamblers, and birds, and a place for fun.
Flower Street is very lively.
Lan Chen was a little confused by this.
There are also some miraculous people gathered here.
There are those who are strong and strong,
There are also those who fly into the sky and escape from the earth,
Fire-breathing acrobats, and more.
In order to determine how to copy the wonder energy.
Lan Chen also tried, but no matter how he touched it, he couldn't successfully copy the magical power.
With no other choice, he had to put this issue behind him and then walked into the home building.
"Master? Well, it's better if you don't go to the gambling house. But why are you here to listen to a book? It's quite elegant."
Zhu Laosan hid aside and watched Lan Chen walk into the library named 'Tingyu Pavilion'.
This library is not simple.
The lobby on the first floor is for listening to books, the attic on the second floor is for storing books, the private room on the third floor is the elegant pavilion, and there is a cave on the fourth floor.
Lan Chen's appearance also attracted attention.
The words were full of contempt for Lan Chen, a gambling-loving playboy, and there were also all kinds of sarcastic and bitter satire.
"Why is that dandy Lan Chen here? This is not a red building. You can't hug Miss Rouge while listening to a play or a book."
"I'm afraid I drank some wine and went to the wrong place. It would be ridiculous if I thought this place was a gambling house."
"Everyone, please take it easy. I am a young lord. After his father was demoted, he can inherit the title."
"I envy others and myself. I will not let this opportunity go to waste."
Lan Chen didn't care about all the comments.
He leisurely glanced at the lobby, where a story about the founding of the People's Republic of China was being discussed on the stage.
No matter how impassioned the storyteller was, everyone listening in the audience yawned again and again.
Then he went up to the second floor on his own.
I opened the story book in the attic on the second floor page by page.
Odes, boudoir, world affairs, novels, etc.
The most common thing is the glory of the various dynasties and countries that opened up new territories - it's boring.
The rest are all kinds of legends that praise mysterious gods and grant "miraculous powers" to humans.
The two originally different worlds have different legends and stories. If we insist on comparing them, they are more like feudal and classical works that shackle human nature.
This world really has no imagination at all.
This is also the reason why Lan Chen came to the library, he decided to sell his 'memory'.
I saw that he first picked up a storybook, flipped through a few pages, then shook his head, and then threw it nonchalantly at his feet. After a while, there were books at his feet.
"Master Lan? Are you dissatisfied with anything?"
"Huh?" Hearing this sound, Lan Chen knew that he had caught a 'fish'.
But what he didn't expect was that this fish was still female.
Gentle and elegant, with a scholarly air all over his body, a jade pendant around his waist, and a light blush on his cheeks, which further enhances his elegance. The only drawback is his eyes, which seem to be squinting all the time. They have no aura, which also ruins his temperament.
"Who are you? How do you know me?"
"Xu Zhou, who knows, Mr. Lan Chen, I am just a book lover, not worth mentioning. If you like, please call me Miss Sun."
Miss Sun bowed slightly, not showing any disdain for Lan Chen's 'bad reputation'.
This also made Lan Chen have a good impression of her.
"My little girl is not talented, so I have been asked to manage Tingyu Pavilion at home. I wonder what Tingyuge did not do well?" Miss Sun said in a serious tone, "For Mr. Lan to ruin the script like this, I, a book lover, look really disappointed.
Heartbroken."
Lan Chen pretended to sigh, his tone full of disappointment in Tingyuge.
"I've been feeling bored at the mansion recently, so I thought I'd read the story books, but I never thought I'd be satisfied with them. Sigh, maybe I'm too demanding. Why should I keep these boring story books?"
Miss Sun was slightly startled and a little annoyed. She had also heard various stories about Lan Chen, but due to her upbringing, she could not denounce this lowly man who drank meat and wine and gambled with him.
I saw her slowly opening her mouth and saying, "Tingyuge is full of the most popular storybooks at the moment. It even has a complete set of books by Mr. Zheng, the 'King of Storytellers'. I wonder which one Young Master Lan is looking for?"
The implication could not be more obvious.
Master Zheng is the most popular ‘storyteller’, and if you are even picky about his books, you are just looking for trouble.
"Boring, boring." Lan Chen shook his head, "I have read his books before."
"The Great Qian opened up new territories, and the Golden Kingdom fought in all directions."
"Sing praises to this God, sing praises to the Spirit."
"There are two words written between the lines - cannibalism. I have seen everything, but I have never seen 'me'."
"It's so boring."
"Boring!?" Miss Sun's eyes widened. Mr. Zheng was her favorite talker, but Lan Chen said it was boring when he came up!?
"Master Lan! I think you are a frog in the well. I'm afraid you can't even read a script! Please go back. The library is not suitable for you, but the gambling house is better!"
As soon as the words came out, Miss Sun pursed her lips, feeling that the words were a bit harsh.
But Lan Chen didn't care. He just shrugged and said calmly, "I haven't read much, but I wrote some myself, but I just didn't have a chance to show it."
"Okay, then I'll give you this opportunity. Go to the lobby and go down and talk. I'd like to hear what you have to say."
"It's nothing." Lan Chen didn't expect it to go so smoothly, and said with a smile, "It's about the 'freedom' that you don't have in your words."
