Chapter 58 Listening to the Perfume Pavilion (please follow up)
Mrs. Wang felt as if her hand was stabbing a ball of cotton, and then she felt the sword in her hand come out of her hand, and somehow it fell into Chen Xuan's hand.
Chen Xuan took the long sword and waved it, subconsciously bringing in three points of inner energy.
Hearing the sound of the long sword "Zheng~", the three-foot sword blade cut out a crack of more than one foot in length on the bluestone slab on the ground!
The power of this sword made Mrs. Wang take half a step back dejectedly.
She is also a martial artist, so she naturally knows how terrifying the power of this sword is!
"Mother!"
Wang Yuyan hurriedly stepped forward to help her. The mother and daughter looked a little pitiful at this moment.
"Mrs. Wang, I'm offended."
Chen Xuan pretended to be cool and raised the corner of his mouth, and handed the sword back with a chuckle, but the two women lowered their heads, and their expressions were obviously a little wrong.
"What trouble do you two have? Could it be that someone is causing trouble in the house?"
As soon as these words came out, Mrs. Wang and Wang Yuyan felt desperate and couldn't help but raise their heads and glare at him.
Although Mrs. Wang and Wang Yuyan secretly hate him, Chen Xuan's martial arts is so powerful that no one in this house can control him now.
At the moment, Mrs. Wang could only warn with a cold face.
"Evil thief, don't bully me because there is no one in Mantuo Villa! I'm warning you, if you know what you're interested in, leave as soon as possible, otherwise people from the Murong family will seek revenge on you!"
"Murong family?"
"Do you think I'm tricking you? My Wang family and Murong family have been friends for generations. You can bully my orphans and widowed mother, but there is no way you can defeat the Murong family!"
Mrs. Wang's words were full of arrogance, but friendships in this generation are actually not particularly good.
The owner of Mantuo Villa was originally [Jiangnan Young Hero] Wang Jinhua, and he had no connection with the Murong family.
It's just that after his death, he left this huge villa without anyone to take care of it, leaving Wang Yuyan and Mrs. Wang, an orphan and a widowed woman, unable to maintain it.
Mrs. Wang then took a fancy to the Murong family of Yanziwu, and had always intended to bring Wang Yuyan and Murong Fu, the young master of the Murong family together.
But now this matter has not been settled.
Even so, Mrs. Wang thought that it would be no problem to ask the Murong family to help teach a few young villains.
Chen Xuan looked at Wang Yuyan, mother and daughter, with their pretty faces filled with frost, refusing to let anyone stand thousands of miles away.
Only then did he react belatedly, and subconsciously pointed to his nose.
"Mrs. Wang, are you calling me a thief?"
"You broke into my Mantuo Villa, what are you if you're not a thief?!"
"Madam, you may have misunderstood me. This junior, Chen Xuan, is a clerk at a silk and satin shop in the south of the city. In fact, this is what happened."
Chen Xuan explained briefly.
When Wang Yuyan and her daughter heard this, they couldn't help but look at each other. They didn't expect that this farce was actually a misunderstanding.
Mrs. Wang hesitated for a moment, then helped Wang Yuyan stand up.
"Are you really from the Satin Shop?"
"It's natural. Why should I lie? If Mrs. Wang wants to verify it, she can ask someone to go to the silk shop to find out. It's also Chen's fault for being abrupt. If I had waited honestly in the courtyard, I wouldn't have accidentally walked into Wang's house.
Mademoiselle’s flower garden.”
"...It doesn't matter, this is my Mantu Villa's lack of hospitality to guests."
As soon as Mrs. Wang said these words, Wang Yuyan couldn't help but glance at her.
You must know that she was chased all over the yard just now, but she was very tired. Not to mention, Mrs. Wang was forced to come out with her sword.
Now he actually ignored this matter so lightly, and it was Mrs. Wang who took the initiative to apologize.
Wang Yuyan was very puzzled, but Mrs. Wang was like a bright mirror in her heart, she thought to herself.
"This Chen Xuan is young, but his martial arts is so high. We are the only orphans and widowers left in this Mantuo Villa. We don't even have a supporter when things happen. If we can recruit this person, even if he is a housekeeper, it would be great."
With this in mind, she called Chen Xuandao.
"Chen Shaoxia, please follow me to the teahouse to sit for a while."
"Thank you very much."
Between these few words, Chen Xuan followed the two girls to the teahouse of the villa.
Along the way, Chen Xuan kept secretly glancing at Wang Yuyan and realized that this girl was indeed very beautiful.
Seeing how bold he was, Wang Yuyan felt annoyed but could not raise her chin slightly, and she was secretly a little proud.
When ordinary people receive visitors, they usually have a living room.
This Mantuo Villa is indeed of high style. There are dozens of types of living rooms for entertaining guests.
At first glance, this so-called teahouse seemed to be just an inconspicuous place, but when Chen Xuan went there with Mrs. Wang, he discovered that this so-called teahouse was actually a pavilion in the lake.
Calling it a pavilion is actually not quite appropriate, because the pavilion is very spacious and about the same size as a side hall of an average sect, at least three to five hundred square meters.
The pavilion is located in the middle of the lake, and there are no covered bridges connecting it. If you want to get to and from it, you can only get there by boat.
I have to say that this sense of ceremony is indeed quite in place.
When the group of people arrived at the place, Mrs. Wang greeted them very familiarly.
"Chen Shaoxia, sit down wherever you want."
Chen Xuan was not formal and just found a futon to sit down on.
Since this is a pavilion in the middle of the lake, it is clearly an arty place, so there are no tables and chairs in the teahouse, only a few tea tables about two feet high.
Behind the tea table, there are mugwort futons for people to sit cross-legged and drink tea.
Chen Xuan had just sat down and was about to have some snacks when he heard Mrs. Wang ask a question.
"I see that Chen Shaoxia is young but his martial arts is so outstanding. I wonder which sect he came from?"
"...Juniors are self-taught."
"Self-taught?"
Mrs. Wang was stunned for a moment, then smiled.
"Chen Shaoxia, you don't have to be so reserved. I don't mean to find out the young man's secrets. I just saw that you are a talented person and it's worth making friends with you."
"Mrs. Wang, you're welcome. In this huge river and lake, there are countless heroes and geniuses like crucian carp crossing the river. They are countless. Mr. Chen is just an unknown person among them."
"Nobody?"
Mrs. Wang picked up the teapot, poured a cup of tea, and then motioned to Wang Yuyan to bring the tea over.
Wang Yuyan's eyebrows furrowed slightly, and she was slightly reluctant, but because of Mrs. Wang's eyes, she had no choice but to bring the tea over.
"If figures like Chen Shaoxia are unknown, then wouldn't Murong Longcheng, the ancestor of the Murong family, also be unknown?"
"Who is Murong Longcheng?"
Chen Xuan said something casually. As soon as he said this, Mrs. Wang had no reaction, but Wang Yuyan almost poured the hot tea on him.
"Hmph~ This is not the way to put on airs. Murong Longcheng is a martial arts wizard born in the Murong family. He became famous during the troubled times of the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms. He created his own unique martial arts [Fights Turn and Stars Shift]. At a young age, he joined the martial arts world.
A group of heroes competed with each other, and thus he conquered the world and became almost invincible. At that time, he was the most invincible person in the world."
"Yeah?"
Even though Wang Yuyan's words were filled with arrogance and arrogance, Chen Xuan just stared at her and smiled stupidly.
Wang Yuyan saw his reaction in her eyes and couldn't help but snort again. Although she seemed to be disgusted, she couldn't help but feel a little proud in her heart.
"Although this stupid little thief is hateful, he does have some sharp eyesight."
Her delicate look fell in Chen Xuan's eyes, which naturally made him like her even more.
However, Mrs. Wang saw the reaction of the two of them. Compared with this young knight who suddenly appeared, the Murong family with deep roots was what Mrs. Wang wanted to rely on most.
Naturally, the bargaining chip was the family marriage between her daughter Wang Yuyan and Murong Fu.
How could she let Wang Yuyan and Chen Xuan get together now?
Then she coughed lightly and went straight to the topic.
"Chen Shaoxia, with your martial arts skills, working as a waiter in that silk and satin shop is really unfair to a talented person. Why not come to my Mantuo Villa and become a guest, I will definitely get rich rewards."
"A guest of Mantu Villa?"
Chen Xuan raised the corners of his mouth slightly, but smiled without commenting.
When Mrs. Wang saw this, she frowned secretly.
"What? Chen Shaoxia looks down on the name of my Mantuo Villa?"
Chen Xuan just smiled and said nothing.
To be honest, he really looked down on him. He had just promoted Xiao Zhao to the position of leader of the Ming Cult, commanding millions of followers.
How can I look down upon this Mantuo Villa now?
Not to mention that there are only orphans and widowers left in Mantuo Villa, and even if the owner of the village is not dead, this place is just a wealthy family at best, and there is still a big gap between it and the serious Jianghu sect.
But even though he thought so in his heart, he definitely couldn't say that. After all, he was a guest here and he couldn't slap the host in the face so directly.
After a little hesitation, Chen Xuan responded tactfully.
"Actually, I have important things to do when I come to Suzhou this time. However, since Mrs. Wang sincerely invites me, Chen cannot refuse. I think so, I will stay in your house for a few days to try it out, and it can be regarded as a gift to Mrs. Wang."
An opportunity for inspection.”
Mrs. Wang nodded, seemingly satisfied with the answer.
In fact, if Chen Xuan fully agreed, she would secretly be suspicious.
After all, he kept saying that he broke into Wang Yuyan's flower garden by mistake, which in itself had no ulterior motives. If he agreed directly now, it would actually prove that he had ulterior motives.
Mrs. Wang thinks very highly of her daughter. In the past twenty years, she has never let her leave Mantuo Villa. She can be said to be a genuine little girl who has not left the palace.
If Chen Xuan was really a flower-picking thief with ulterior motives, it would be a lot of fun.
"By the way, Yu Yan, the young master of the Murong family invited you to listen to the Perfume Pavilion a few days ago, but today?"
"It's today, but it's later in the evening, so there's no rush."
"In that case, just ask Chen Shaoxia to accompany you."
Hearing Mrs. Wang's instructions, Wang Yuyan glanced at Chen Xuan subconsciously, but she didn't expect Chen Xuan to smile stupidly at her again, which made Wang Yuyan secretly groan, thinking that she might not trust this stupid little thief.
However, there are no experts in charge of the Mantuo Villa now, so it would be nice to have a housekeeper to look after the home this time.
The three of them finished talking and simply ate some refreshments.
Chen Xuan happened to have not had breakfast, so these sweet-scented osmanthus cakes, almond cakes and other refreshments were all in one bite, which made Wang Yuyan secretly glance at him several times.
She usually has the upbringing of a wealthy family, but she has never seen a man as rough and rude as Chen Xuan, and she found it strange for a while.
After having tea, Mrs. Wang asked the two of them to go to the perfume pavilion.
Chen Xuan was now a trainee guard, so naturally he couldn't sit in the same carriage as Wang Yuyan. He could only run more diligently on his own feet and follow him all the time.
However, Wang Yuyan was quite curious about him and would lift the sedan curtain to take a look at him from time to time.
Chen Xuan also took the time to chat with her for a few words.
"Miss Wang, where is this Perfume Pavilion?"
"It's the Murong family's Bieyuan Villa. My sister A'Zhu lives there."
"A'Zhu?"
Chen Xuan secretly raised his eyebrows, but he didn't ask any more questions and just said.
"Is Murong Fu listening to the perfume there too?"
"That's natural, it's not that far apart. My cousin's house is as big as our Mantuo Villa."
"Oh, that's indeed a rich man."
Chen Xuan recalled the size of the villa and realized that the Murong family and the Wang family were indeed well-matched. It was no wonder that Mrs. Wang was so successful in bringing together Wang Yuyan and Murong Fu.
In fact, in the early years, Mantuo Villa did not have such a big name in the world, until Wang Jinhua came out of the Wang family.
When he was young, Wang Jinhua was just a nervous scholar who followed his father's orders. He sought fame but failed many times.
After he returned home with pride and talent, he gave up the idea of seeking fame and picked up the Wang family's "Jingshen Sword Technique" that had been abandoned for a long time. Finally, relying on this "Jingshen Sword Technique", he became a "Jiangnan Young Hero".
]'s name.
From then on, Mantuo Villa became famous in the south of the Yangtze River, attracting many martial arts masters to defect to it. It was once known as the four major martial arts families together with the Tang family in Sichuan, the Murong family in Gusu, and the Duan family in Dali.
However, after Wang Jinhua died, the Mantuo Villa began to decline day by day.
So much so that now that Mrs. Wang wants to marry the Murong family, the young master of the Murong family, Murong Fu, is still pretending and never gives a reply.
That is to say, Wang Yuyan is a eldest lady who has never left the court, so she has a deep love for her cousin.
If she had grown older and was so scorned by Murong Fu, she would no longer be willing to serve him.
Walking in a hurry along the way, Chen Xuan casually chatted with Wang Yuyan while watching the people coming and going in the market. It was actually not interesting.
The reason why he followed Wang Yuyan to the Perfume Pavilion was not because he was jealous, but actually more because he didn't want to go back to the silk shop to face Dai Qisi.
Most of the beauties in this world have good looks, and they all look like immortal witches.
In addition, most of them got married relatively early, so they are now in their early thirties.
Frankly speaking, based on Chen Xuan's own perception, he felt that pretty girls in their twenties and eighties like Wang Yuyan and Xiao Zhao were not as good as women in their twenties and thirties like Dai Qisi and Huang Rong.
But right now, he would definitely have to stay away from Dai Qisi.
After all, there were so many misunderstandings caused by a combination of circumstances, and the most important thing was that he actually didn't have much confidence in Xiao Zhao.
If I stayed with Dai Qisi for two more days, and suddenly my brain got hot, and I suddenly felt that the purple-robed Dragon King was more suitable for me, wouldn't I have failed Xiao Zhao?
Thinking of that crybaby, Chen Xuan secretly felt a headache. He happened to meet Wang Yuyan now, so he followed her around to relax.
The group of people didn't walk long before they arrived at the lake.
The water towns in the south of the Yangtze River are mostly filled with rivers and lakes.
Mantuo Villa is located near Taihu Lake.
The Murong family's Yanziwu is located in Shenhe Village, thirty miles west of Gusu City, with beautiful mountains and clear waters, making it look like a paradise.
ps: Speaking of which, please read the official statement, try your best to take the time to read the latest chapters, and provide follow-up reading data.
Because I recently asked about its availability, and it turned out that the number of people pursuing it was less than a hundred.
At that time, I had been writing for several months and had written 20,000 to 30,000 words. It was very sad that it could not be published on the shelves.
I have always been very Buddhist and don't ask for votes or collections, but perfect attendance is still very important to me.
After all, full attendance can support me to write this book to 500,000 to 600,000 words. It will be great if there is improvement by then.
There is no improvement, you readers can also watch it longer.
In short, this tracking data is really important to a street player.
I hope you can read the latest chapters often and give me some support.
In addition, I would like to thank my friends who voted for me every now and then, such as [Looking at Tomorrow with a Smile], [Han Xinruohun], and [Book Club End Number 3766]. Your support is a great encouragement to me.
