Bai Ye was so frightened by the landlord that he immediately looked behind him.He remembered that there should be only Xiao Ran behind him, but could Xiao Ran scare the landlord into what he saw?

Not to mention Bai Ye, even Kong Yan and Canxing looked back together, but there was no one, only Xiao Ran in Tsing Yi stood behind Bai Ye and smiled awkwardly at everyone who was watching him.

"This, who is this?" The landlord in purple clothes took advantage of Bai Ye's turn to shake off his hand, quickly straightened his clothes, smoothed his hair twice, and when he raised his head again, he had an outstanding expression of grace and luxury. The owner of the proud building with a three-point coquettish attitude on weekdays, the hair hanging on the cheeks also brings a bit of lazy feeling.

But his eyes were very bright, staring at Li Ran like a snake seeing a fat frog, Xiao Ran was so frightened that he moved two steps behind Bai Ye.

Canxing was still thinking about what to say, when suddenly the boy who was so scolded by the landlord rushed straight into Xiao Ran's arms, and started to cry loudly with a "wow".

"Sir! It's really you, sir! Save me, sir!" The boy threw himself on Xiao Ran tightly, with such force that even the table that Xiao Ran was leaning on was knocked out of the way.

It's also because li xuan has a really good memory, after looking at the child's weeping face for a long time, he actually recognized him. "Zuo Yun? Aren't you Zuo Yun? How did you come here?"

At this time, Canxing also introduced to the host who was still looking at Xiao Ran obsessively: "Boss, this is Mr. Bai's friend. His name is Xiao Ran. He was a teacher in the city a few years ago. Why, do you know him?"

The landlord only looked at Xiao Ran, watched his every move, watched him pull Zuo Yun to sit down, took out a clean handkerchief from his sleeve to wipe Zuo Yun's tears, watched him pointing fingers for Zuo Yun hair. "Xiao Ran? Xiao Ran? Surnamed Xiao?... Isn't he from this city?"

Although Canxing didn't understand why the host was curious about a scholar like Xiao Ran, he still replied: "Xiao Ran is not from this city, I heard that his hometown is in Jiangming County, and he came to Wuzhou City about five or six years ago. .By the way, didn't you always say that the young master of the Zhang family is well educated, and his husband is Xiao Ran."

"Oh!" The landlord finally thought of something, nodded and said, "I remembered it when you said that. I heard this name two years ago, and I kept nagging about it for a while... At that time, Bai Ye said that he would give it to you. Redemption, you still refused, what was on your mouth at that time..."

The landlord doesn't know what sensitive words are, so he just said it here, and Bai Ye's cold eyes over there have already swept over.Bai Ye thought that he had just changed the topic, but someone brought it back again. It was still such an unexpected visitor who disturbed the harmonious atmosphere just now.

Canxing saw it clearly, and hurriedly pulled the host to laugh and said: "Yes, yes, I have known Xiao Ran for a long time, didn't you say that the calligraphy and paintings in my room are good? But they are all Xiao Ran's works! "

At this time, Xiao Ran also pulled the child named Zuo Yun over, and bowed before the host. "You are the landlord of the Deyi Building, right? Xiao Ran, this kid used to be in my school for a while, so he can be regarded as my student. How did he end up here?"

The landlord actually stretched out his hands to help Xiao Ran's arms, and said with a smile: "It's a trivial matter, a trivial matter! Are you still eating? See if I'm bothering you, come and sit down. Go let the kitchen order good food, hurry up!"

Canxing is already a slick character, not to mention the landlord who trained Canxing, Xiao Ran sat down beside him.Bai Ye next to him pulled away Zuo Yun, who also wanted to sit down with Li Ran, sat beside Li Ran, put his hands on the head of the table and put his wrist on his wrist, and said with a smile: "Lord, if you have something to say, just say it, Xiao Ran is honest. Man, I'm afraid you'll scare him."

Bai Ye is a frequent visitor to Deyilou, and the owner has seen him too many times. How many tricks does this person have?Even his elder brother told him that he could turn the sky upside down in Wuzhou City, but he must not make trouble as long as he is proud of himself.

Otherwise, just say that Canxing lied to him about Xiao Ran's return, and if he meets someone else, wouldn't Bai Ye tear down the signboard of his house and use it as firewood to vent his hatred?

The landlord just smiled at Bai Ye, turned over a clean glass in his hand, took the wine jug and filled it to eighty percent full, put it in front of Li Ran, filled another wine glass for himself, then raised the wine glass and said to Li Ran: "Young Master Xiao, I'm chanting in the cold wind, I just interrupted you. This cup will be regarded as fine wine. I'll drink it up. You can do whatever you want."

Even so, Xiao Ran hurriedly picked up the wine glass and drank it down with Leng Louzhu.

Leng Fengyin poured another half cup for Xiao Ran. "This child Zuo Yun was sold by his father more than half a year ago. His father was obsessed with dominoes, and he was so obsessed that he couldn't stop, so he sent this kid here."

As he spoke, he stretched out his hand to call Zuo Yun to his side, as gentle as if he wasn't the one who just pointed at someone and scolded him.Zuo Yun obediently stood beside him, not daring to move, staring at Xiao Ran with big wet eyes, like a puppy waiting to be rescued.

But Xiao Ran was also helpless, the owner of the house immediately told the ins and outs of why Zuo Yun was here, and now Zuo Yun was indeed a member of Deyilou, so it was not easy for him to intervene.

Leng Fengyin drank another cup in self-satisfaction, and refilled it slowly. "Just now I heard from Canxing that Mr. Xiao is from Jiangming County? Which city? Boyang or Lufu?"

"My hometown is Lufu, have you ever been to Lengzhu?"

"Hehe, I went there a long time ago. By the way, I remember a family in Lufu City. It seems that the surname is Xiao, and they are in the bookstore business. It was many years ago. I remember that although Boss Xiao is a bit old, But it is well maintained. Mr. Xiao, do you know if this bookstore is still open now? I remember the location of the bookstore. It should be on the top of Dongsanbei Street. There is a teahouse opposite the door. The name of the bookstore seems to be Qingfengzhai ?”

Upon hearing this, Xiao Ran hurriedly stood up and gave Leng Fengyin a deep bow. "Boss Xiao that Louzhu Leng mentioned is my father. After many years, I can hear someone in a foreign country who still remembers Qingfengzhai. I think my father can rest in peace under the nine springs."

Leng Fengyin shook his hand holding the cup, but there was only a sigh of regret on his face. "I remember at that time, Boss Xiao was still handsome and unrestrained. Why did he pass by suddenly? How could Mr. Xiao not inherit the family business, but came to Wuzhou City instead?"

Xiao Ran shook his head, with a somewhat lonely look on his face. "That year when Lufu was hit by a flood, his father, mother, and aunt passed away one after another. Xiao Ran was incompetent and unable to revive his father's Qingfengzhai, so the eldest brother decided to change the bookstore into a tea house."

"The elders... have you all gone?" Leng Fengyin's hand holding the cup trembled so much that even the wine in the cup spilled out. Not to mention Canxing and Bai Ye, even Xiao Ran felt that Leng Fengyin seemed a little strange .Leng Fengyin felt it himself, he put the cup on the table and folded his hands in his sleeves. "Feng Yin is easily agitated, which made Mr. Xiao laugh. I still remember that Boss Xiao had selected books for Feng Yin back then. In the blink of an eye, the old man was no longer there, so it is embarrassing."

"Boss Leng is really a man of temperament, Bai Ye would like to offer you a toast for Xiao Ran." Bai Ye raised the wine glass and drank it in one gulp, then filled it up for himself. "Look at Boss Leng just now seeing Xiao Ran's surprised appearance. Could it be that Xiao Ran looks a lot like his father?"

Leng Feng Yinzai looked at Xiao Ran carefully for a long time before a faint smile appeared on his lips. "Young Master Xiao and an old friend of Feng Yin look very similar..."

Xiao Ran felt as if he was sitting on pins and needles by Leng Fengyin, neither sitting nor standing.It's only because Leng Fengyin's eyes were burning hot, but there was a faint hint of sadness in his eagerness, and it was this sadness that made Xiao Ran feel bad about saying goodbye to the host as bored.

Xiao Ran has been traveling abroad for the past two years, and he is no longer as completely ignorant of these things as he was back then.

There are many places to go, and it is not uncommon for Deng Tuzi to come across them.Bai Ye once said before that when there is nowhere to meet the needs in the wilderness, travelers would help each other with their hands. He has also encountered this kind of thing. Of course, Xiao Ran never agreed. Although he had accepted Bai Ye, but Bai Ye... After all, Bai Ye was a different existence, and Xiao Ran couldn't accept others.

Xiao Ran has a pleasing baby face, and he is fair and bookish. In the past two years of traveling abroad, there are indeed not a few people who are interested in Xiao Ran, such eager eyes as Leng Fengyin... Xiao Ran really saw a lot.

Xiao Ran coughed twice, trying his best to ignore Leng Louzhu's gaze. "Lord Leng, I want to ask, Zuo Yun..."

"Zuo Yun?" Leng Fengyin blinked his eyes, and then he remembered who Zuo Yun was and said with a smile: "Zuo Yun is still a child, I was the one who got angry just now, Young Master Xiao, you have to turn your head and forget what happened just now Oh!" While motioning Zuo Yun to wait by Xiao Ran's side, he asked with a smile: "By the way, Mr. Xiao, what do you do for a living now?"

Xiao Ran didn't expect Leng Fengyin to be so curious about him, but he also thought about his businessman, and perhaps it has become a habit to inquire about these things, so he leaned over and smiled, "Xiao Ran used to be a teacher, and now he just set up a shop on Zhengsan Street. Open a bookstore like my father."

"The bookstore is good! You have inherited your father's business. If your ancestors know about it, they will be pleased, right?" Leng Fengyin didn't know what he was happy about, and cheerfully toasted Xiao Ran again. "From now on, we will look for Young Master Xiao for things like calligraphy, brushes and inkstones in Deyilou!"

Xiao Ran wanted to refuse as soon as he heard it, but he is still a novice in this business, if he does not operate a big business like Deyilou, he will only be in trouble, but he just stood up, and Bai Ye beside him also stood up, held his cup and said with a smile : "Boss Leng is worth a lot of money, Xiao Ran and I will thank you in advance!"

Leng Fengyin was taken aback, and asked with some doubts: "Mr. Bai, you and Mr. Xiao opened that bookstore together? How come the second young master of Xuantianmen is also interested in doing business like a bookstore?"

As soon as Bai Ye put the cup down, he pulled Xiao Ran to sit down, put one hand on Li Ran's neck and said affectionately: "Mr. Leng, I and Xiao Ran are brother-in-law. Naturally, I want to help with his affairs. From now on, I will invite you, Boss Leng." Take care of Xiao Ran more."
