"Mr. Lu? Why are you still here at this late hour? Liu Ran suddenly saw a person, and while he was speaking, the others saw this figure.

Zhang Lingdao naturally also saw Lu Qing, a rather thin middle-aged man, he had a goatee and a headband on his head, a very quaint dress.

Although the current era is originally an era when Confucianism is rampant, Lu Qing seems to have come out of an ancient painting, with a prosperous Tang Dynasty style.

He held a pot of tea in his hand, and in this quiet night, there was a curling green smoke, and said with a smile, "This night is so quiet, and your movements are so big, I can't even do it if I don't want to know!" ”

Liu Ran touched his head a little embarrassed, "If we hadn't found another way, we wouldn't have bothered Mr. now, please don't blame Mr." ”

"I don't mean to blame you, all the young heroes are running for the safety of the entire rivers and lakes, what is the old man's few houses here?" Lu Qing said.

Because the ancients had a very short lifespan, they could generally call themselves old husbands when they reached the age of establishment, and Lu Qing's time to become famous was not short, so there was no problem with his self-proclaim.

"In this way, the three of us will be bothered, thank you Mr. Lu." Zhang Lingdao also arched his hand and said.

He still admires this kind of person who really has the ability, and what he hates the most is the kind of person who obviously has no ability at all, and still pretends to be like a master.

"Young man, please come with me, the courtyard is small, and there are not enough of you to live, so you can come to the compound with me." Lu Qing took a sip of the tea in his hand and slowly walked down from the side of the road.

The three of them glanced at each other, nodded, and followed him, not far from where Lu Qing was standing, that is, a mountain away, they saw another spacious compound.

Lu Qing himself lives in a small courtyard built by himself, which is enough for one or two people to rest, but this large courtyard is enough for more than ten people to rest together, which is very spacious.

"I seem to have a little impression here, when I came to Jiangnan with my master, I lived in this courtyard, and I didn't expect that seven or eight years have passed, and this courtyard has not changed." Liu Ran said with emotion, as if he thought of the memory of being here, and left a smile on the corner of his mouth.

"Xiaoyou is right, when Mr. Feng brought you here, this was just a courtyard for making tea, and there was no rest for many years, but it hasn't changed much." Lu Qing said that he had already taken out a key from his body and opened the door of this courtyard.

On the courtyard door is a very standard bronze lock, Zhang Lingdao has studied history, this lock is called the three-reed lock, from the Han Dynasty period to the present, it can be said to be a milestone in the history of the development of locks in the world.

You must know that in this era, ordinary people do not have such locks in their homes, and they do not dare to use such locks on their doors, because all the things of ordinary people add up are not as expensive as a lock.

However, in this era of the Northern Song Dynasty, it was much better than the past and the future, and the people had a surplus of life and had extra money and energy to think about some other entertainment, and in this era, the economy was also extremely developed.

Therefore, the lock began to gradually become popular in this era, but ordinary people still use wooden bolts, and as for the lock, only the high-ranking households can afford it.

Lu Qing must also have an extraordinary net worth, so he can put such a bronze lock at the door of a courtyard that is not often used.

Of course, it can't be an iron lock, salt and iron will always be the two most important armaments in ancient China, and iron will never be enough in the era when there is no ability to develop underground mineral deposits.

Therefore, in addition to iron pots and kitchen knives, the more important items in the folk are actually made of copper rather than iron.

However, as a tradable currency, copper was worth much more than the average item of this era, so copper locks were often stolen, and such items can be said to be priceless.

Lu Qing is also a strange person, he is not worried that his door lock will be stolen, Zhang Lingdao has judged his living standard from this point, this is also a person in the rivers and lakes, not an ordinary person.

Of course, Lu Qing is a person in the rivers and lakes, and no one knows what he used to do, but he has been growing tea here for more than ten years, and he has made friends all over the world, even people like Feng Wuxian are his friends.

How could such a person be saved by two fledgling little guys? Zhang Lingdao thought a lot for a while, but thinking about it while walking didn't affect his thinking, they had already entered the courtyard.

In fact, many people have some misunderstandings about Jiangnan, they think that the water towns in Jiangnan should be full of fields, waterways and plains, but in fact, such areas are just a few local landscapes, and the real Jiangnan is also a mountainous area.

However, the mountains in the south of the Yangtze River are not high, and they are even very low, so Zhang Lingdao can cross many mountains with light skills, but he can't fly up the mountain col established by this courtyard.

The courtyard was cleverly built, a small valley close to mountains on three sides, and the only place near the flat land was fenced with a row of bamboo fences.

The rest of the houses were built against the hill, and against the side of the hill were three tiled houses, one of which was a small two-story attic with a wooden structure, and these houses alone cost a lot of money.

Of course, this house can't be compared with the high gate halls of Taibai or Zhenwu, the Dugu family was the largest landlord in Qinchuan at the beginning, even in the biggest war years, no one dared to touch this family at all.

If there is no Taibai sect, then Dugu Ruoxu is the heir of the largest wealth family in the world, but there is no if in this world, Taibai is still standing in the world.

And Zhenwu has a lot of benefactors, which has to be admired by Zhang Mengbai's skill, under the sponsorship of so many people, Zhenwu can still ensure his detached attitude, which is the most exaggerated.

And Lu Qing alone owns a large area of land and real estate in Jiangnan, although there are no high-rise buildings and no splendor, but the wealth hidden in him cannot be underestimated.

Although Longjing Tea Garden is said to be shared by tea farmers in the world, what kind of identity does this emaciated middle-aged man with a goatee play in it?

Otherwise, the most elite area and the most important area in the Longjing Tea Garden, why could he be allowed to build such a small courtyard?

Where did the layers of tea next to the yard come from?
