You are back

Chapter 15

Chen Yanfeng looked at Li Yan who was holding back his nausea with a look of gloating on his face. He seemed very happy and not in a hurry anymore. After lunch, he and Li Yan wandered around a few streets. What about Li Yan? They all looked at it, looking at it very carefully, but they didn’t buy it. After shopping around, they turned around and bought a pack of each of the condiments they saw. They also bought two kilograms of each of the wines they saw. Yushu hugged them. After adding the seasonings, Chen Yanfeng took the wine and got on the boat.

The sun had already set in the west, but Chen Yanfeng waved his hand and ordered the boat to set off.

This is a passenger ship specially designed to carry people. There is a railing in front of the bow. There is a round table and two chairs. There is a tea set on the table. One step away is a spacious cabin. The cabin is divided into three front and rear rooms, with chairs, couches, cabinets and tables. Everything is available.

Li Yan saw the cabin from the place where he drank tea and watched the scenery, and then he probed into the back cabin, which is much lower than the cabin. Half of the back cabin is under the side of the ship, and the middle window is very low. able to reach the river.

Under the astonished eyes of the mother-in-law who was facing him, Li Yan carefully checked the back cabin, went out and passed through the cabin, and stood next to Chen Yanfeng who was standing at the bow of the boat blowing the wind, "The kitchen in the back is too dirty, It has to be thoroughly scrubbed and cleaned.”

"Just say no, you don't need to come to me for this matter." Chen Yanfeng waved his hand, signaling that he doesn't care about it.

"Money." Li Yan simply said one word, "Because, in fact, it is not dirty, nor is it not dirty." After a pause, Li Yan thought for a moment and then explained: "For example, the fish we ate for lunch today, In my opinion, it’s just not done well, but it’s not that it’s not done well…”

"I understand." Chen Yanfeng interrupted Li Yan, "Isn't it just that...you, a lady, are not picky about yourself but are picky about others? You are very particular about being picky. Okay, you can give me as much as you want. It's up to you. "Chen Yanfeng is extremely generous.

Li Yan unceremoniously took half a piece of silver leaf from Chen Yanfeng's bundle, and handed it to the mother-in-law. As long as she cleaned the kitchen to her satisfaction, the half piece of silver leaf would be hers.

The mother-in-law stared at the half silver leaf and kept saying yes. She followed Yushu's instructions and wiped it over and over again until Li Yan sighed with satisfaction. It was so clean that he could finally have a comfortable meal.

After a comfortable dinner, Li Yan sat on the clean bow of the boat and ordered Yushu to bring all the wines he bought today, and tasted them one by one, leaving a bottle behind. drink.

Chen Yanfeng watched for a long time from the cabin, walked out, sat next to Li Yan, and asked Yushu to get him a cup, poured the cup and took a sip, "This wine is just average, what kind of wine do you like to drink? Li Ren from Yangzhou is good at drunkenness. "

"Where is your home? Why are you running around alone?" Li Yan asked while sipping his wine and looking at Chen Yanfeng.

"My family is in the capital, and now I live near Yunmengze." Chen Yanfeng bent his legs and felt at ease.

Li Yan was taken aback, "Are you a monk?"

"That's right, a person who retreats from the world to practice. When he gets bored while meditating, he just walks around." Chen Yanfeng turned to look at Li Yan, "You look a bit like an outsider."

"You must have encountered many interesting things wherever you go, tell me." Li Yan bit the rim of his cup.

"There's nothing interesting. I haven't been to many places. If I go out, that is, from Yunmengze to Duoyunjian, and then from Duoyunjian to Yunmengze, that is, I will meet you this year. It is quite interesting. ." Chen Yanfeng lazily leaned back on the railing.

"Then..." Li Yan paused, "Tell us about Duoyunjian?"

"Huh? Duoyunjian, yes, Duoyunjian, and the Pei family are quite interesting. What do you want to hear?"

"I want to hear it all, you can say whatever you want." Li Yan smiled warmly.

"The Pei family has occupied Duoyunjian for 200 years. The ancestor of the Pei family who built Duoyun Villa was a powerful figure. It is said that before him, the Pei family ranked first in the world, not to mention in Lujiang County. Not on the number, the Pei family is in the hands of this ancestor, and it is what it is today."

Chen Yanfeng spoke casually, and Li Yan listened carefully.

"The current rules of the Pei family are also set by this ancestor. Have you heard of the rules of the Pei family?"

Li Yan shook his head, and Chen Yanfeng poured himself a glass of wine, "The Pei family is divided into the upper part of the mountain and the lower part of the mountain. On the mountain is the Duoyun Villa, but the Pei family in the Duoyun Villa is only the owner of the mountain. The rest of the Pei family are all at the foot of the mountain. There is only the Pei family, the owner of the mountain, but it is said that [-]% of the strength of the Pei family is in Duoyun Villa. The head of the Pei family is the owner of Duoyunjian Mountain, not the patriarch of the Pei clan."

"Strength speaks." Li Yan answered, Chen Yanfeng gave her a thumbs up, and continued: "Didn't you ask who Pei Qing is? The owner of this generation is called Pei Qing. Pei Qing is the fifth generation of mountain Lord, the first generation is the ancestor of the Pei family. That ancestor was never married, and of course he had no children. He died at the age of 83 and passed on the position of the owner of the mountain to his great-nephew, Pei Qing's grandfather Pei Huaiyun. Pei Huaiyun was followed by Pei Zhenchuan, Pei Zhenchuan was followed by Pei Ming, and now Pei Qing.

The mountain master of the Pei family, from the second generation Pei Huaiyun onwards, has been told that a mountain master can only serve for 20 years. He will take a five-year break after resigning and then take over as the leader of the Pei family. This clan leader can also only serve for 20 years. "

"Uh!" Li Yan blinked after hearing this, which was quite interesting.

"Interesting, isn't it? Also, this is the rule set by the ancestor. The son of the Pei family who takes over the Duoyun Villa, first, must be a descendant of the fifth branch of the direct line; second, the age of 22 to 20 when he takes over. Thirdly, no engagements are allowed before taking over. During the [-] years of taking over as the mountain lord, no engagements are allowed. lifetime."

"Ah?" Li Yan was dumbfounded, what kind of rule is this?
Chen Yanfeng smiled meaningfully, "Isn't it interesting? Actually, there is great wisdom in it. There is also the fourth rule, father and son cannot serve as mountain masters for two generations. If a father has been a mountain master, a son cannot be a mountain master, but a grandson is not. Can."

"Prevent one family from monopolizing power?" Li Yan blurted out.

"Who knows." Chen Yanfeng flicked his sleeves casually, "These are the rules I know. I heard that the ancestor set many more rules. Just how to choose the mountain master? I wrote a book about it. Book, in short, my master said that for someone like Pei Qing, whose grandfather was the lord of the mountain, and he became the lord of the mountain again, it was only when the right time, place, people, and people were all in place."

"That's not true." Li Yan calculated that the right time, place and people were in harmony, "It's okay to take over at the age of 22 to 20, and it will be 38 in 40 years. Hurry up and get married and have a son. You have to raise a grandson in [-] years. Slow down." It’s really not easy to catch up if you’re slow.”
