Chapter 2728 Who is this seat for?
Wang Sheng said, "This house, along with all of us, was selected for you by the Imperial Concubine."
“…”
Li Bushang said nothing for a while.
Naturally, the people standing at the door did not dare to speak nonsense, and everyone looked at him quietly.
After a long silence, Li Bushang finally spoke, saying in a deep voice, "Then, you guys stay."
When everyone heard this, they were all delighted and said, "Yes."
After saying that, Wang Sheng directed everyone to serve the master into the mansion, and diligently told him how many people were living in the mansion and how many rooms there were. They had all been cleaned up and were waiting for him to move in.
Li Bushang said calmly: "You guys go do what you need to do, there is no need to serve me here."
Everyone knew that this master had some quirks.
So, no one dared to disturb him and they all retreated. Only Li Bushang was left standing at the door. He looked up at the plaque hanging on the gate, on which were written two heavy characters - Li Mansion.
These were bestowed upon him by the emperor, but were chosen by Nan Yan.
She picked it for herself.
she……
Just when Li Bushang's originally calm breathing became a little disordered, a familiar chuckle suddenly came from behind him, saying, "The scenery here is really nice."
When he heard the voice, his brows furrowed.
Turning around, he saw Xie Jiaojiao standing at the door of his mansion, tilting her head and smiling at him.
Li Bushang frowned and asked, "Why are you here?"
Xie Jiaojiao walked up the stairs, came to him, and said with a smile, "Why can't I be here?"
Li Bushang asked, "Who told you I was here?"
“…”
Xie Jiaojiao didn't answer him immediately. Instead, she looked up at the words "Li Mansion," then glanced at the scenery inside through the open door. Then, she turned around with a smile and said to him, "No one told me you were here."
"Then why are you here?"
"Me? I was just walking around and taking in the scenery. I didn't expect to see such a 'beautiful scenery'."
"Just taking a walk?"
Li Bushang obviously didn't believe these four words.
Xie Jiaojiao naturally saw the look in his eyes and said with a smile: "Don't doubt it, I'm not so shameless as to secretly follow you."
“…”
"I came here because my home is nearby."
“…”
"I wanted to come out and see how lively your capital's market is and how it differs from White Dragon City, but I ended up walking here and seeing you."
“…”
"You say, are we destined to be together?"
Seeing her smile, Li Bushang frowned even more tightly.
"Is your home located nearby?"
"Yes, it's also in Baoningfang, two streets away from here."
“…”
"We can barely be considered neighbors, right?"
“…”
Li Bushang looked at her quietly for a while, then turned around and walked inside. Seeing him like this, Xie Jiaojiao immediately said, "Hey, won't you invite me in to sit down? You're the owner of this place."
“…”
Li Bushang stopped, looked back at her, and suddenly said, "Have you seen the imperial concubine recently?"
When Xie Jiaojiao heard him asking about the imperial concubine, a strange emotion flashed in her eyes.
But he still replied: "I have seen it."
"when."
"Just two days ago."
"Two days ago..."
Li Bushang's eyes dimmed slightly and he stood there motionless.
Seeing him like this, Xie Jiaojiao stepped over the tall doorway, walked up to him, and whispered, "What's wrong?"
“…”
Li Bushan didn't speak immediately. Instead, he remained silent for a long time. Then he took a long breath and said to her, "Don't you want to come in and sit down? Then let's go."
After saying that, he turned and walked inside.
Hearing him say this, Xie Jiaojiao smiled and hurriedly followed him.
When the servants in the mansion saw their young, yet stern master walk in, followed by a pretty young lady, they were all stunned and whispered, "Who is this person?"
"I can tell at a glance that she must be the future mistress of our Li Mansion."
"How do you know?"
"Isn't this obvious? Our master came here alone, without anyone else, and only this young lady was able to stay with him. With such a relationship, how could you not guess it?"
Everyone looked as if they had suddenly realized something, and Wang Sheng had already come over, urging them, "Hurry up and get back to work! You know our distinguished guests are here, why aren't you serving them tea?"
Everyone dispersed and went about their business.
Fortunately, they were ready to wait for the master's arrival, and the fire in the kitchen was kept burning. After a while, they boiled water for tea, which Wang Sheng personally brought to the main hall. Li Bushang was sitting in the front, and the distinguished guest was standing in the middle of the hall. She tilted her head and looked up at the carved beams and painted pillars around her. She smiled and said, "This house is great. Not only is the location good, but the scenery is also beautiful."
“…”
"Commander Li, you really know how to pick."
“…”
Li Bushang sat there without moving, only his breath became heavier.
At this time, Wang Sheng walked in, carefully placed the tea in front of him, and said softly, "Master, please have some tea. Miss Xie, please have some tea."
Xie Jiaojiao smiled and walked to the chair next to him and sat down. She reached out and picked up a cup of tea, but saw Wang Sheng looking at her with a strange look. She said, "What's wrong?"
Wang Sheng was stunned for a moment and immediately lowered his head.
But Li Bushang also frowned slightly, turned his head to look at her, but said nothing, just waved his hand, and Wang Sheng retreated with the tea tray.
Xie Jiaojiao held the teacup in her hand and asked, "What happened?"
“…”
Li Bushang looked at her for a while, then said, "Guest, you should sit down below."
After saying that, he pointed to the chair under his left hand.
Xie Jiaojiao blinked: "Oh? Can't I sit here?"
“…”
"Who is this seat for?"
“…”
"Or, who do you want to leave this seat for?"
Li Bushang frowned, but said nothing more, and did not even insist that Xie Jiaojiao sit on the chair next to him. He just picked up the tea and took a sip. The Tieguanyin prepared in the mansion was also the best, but when he drank it, he could only taste the bitterness.
Xie Jiaojiao, on the other hand, took a sip of tea and sighed comfortably.
He said, "Tea from the Central Plains is still the best. No matter how good the Song family's tea is, it's not as good as the tea here."
After saying that, she smiled and leaned towards Li Bushang and said, "We can be considered neighbors from now on, Lord Li, can I come to your place for tea again?"
“…”
Li Bushang was silent for a while, looking at the house in front of him, and then looking at her.
Then he said calmly: "If you want to come, come."
