Lotus Tower is the second best in the world

Chapter 89 What Do You Want?

In the ancient world, some things were deeply ingrained and difficult to change with a few words from one person.

Just like the difference between master and servant.

As the master, Li Lianpeng could only order them to sit at the dining table. No matter how hard Li Lianpeng tried to persuade them, the five boys and girls just refused to move their chopsticks.

Even Ding Shisan, the little guy who dared to escape from his master's house and went back to the trafficker, stubbornly believing that the other party had hidden his sister, was sitting upright, his Adam's apple rolling and swallowing, obviously he wanted to eat so much, But like the other four people, they didn't move the chopsticks in front of them.

Seeing this, Li Lianpeng had no choice but to shut up and stop persuading her. If she delayed for a while, the food would be cold.

It's winter now. Is there any way to keep warm in this hall? The food gets cold very quickly.

Su Xiaoyong on the side, holding his chin with both hands, looked at Li Lianpeng, who had a look of helplessness on his face, and then at several boys and girls, with interesting expressions in their bright eyes.

Li Lianhua, with a smile on his face, sipped the wine from the wine gourd given to him by his master. After the cold weather, his body and bones became increasingly unable to withstand the cold, and he needed to drink strong wine every day to warm up.

"Okay, since that's the case, I won't force you. Qingque, you go to the kitchen... the cook, bring some dishes, divide the dishes on the table, and you can eat them."

Qingque stood up, bowed to Li Lianpeng Yingying, and said in a thin voice: "Yes, Young Master."

After all, turn around and leave.

Li Lianpeng was afraid that she wouldn't be able to get it by herself, so he asked Qingluan, the oval-faced girl, to follow him.

The two young men, Ping'an and Jixiang, quickly stood up from the Grand Master's chair, carefully put the chairs they had been sitting on sideways, and stood aside with their hands tied.

Ding Shisan seemed to be late and glanced at the drooling chicken in front of the table with nostalgia. He also stood up and came to stand next to the two teenagers.

Li Lianpeng shook his head and said with a wry smile to Su Xiaoyong and Li Lianhua: "Where did you find these little guys who know the rules so well?"

Su Xiaoyong laughed and explained his doubts:

"You don't know this. In big cities like Yangzhou City and even Jinling, stewards in places like Yashili must learn how to sell bidders at a good price before selling. , the content of this learning is nothing more than how to serve people, how to satisfy the owner, so as to gain the recognition of those wealthy businessmen or wealthy families, and develop the business in the long run..."

After Su Xiaoyong's words, Li Lianpeng had a preliminary understanding of this trip. He sighed in his heart and couldn't help but say:
"It's really cool..."

Su Xiaoyong looked at him confused, "What?"

Li Lianpeng shook his head and said with a complicated expression:
"It's nothing."

Not long after, two girls, Qingque and Qingluan, came over with dishes. Li Lianpeng gathered his thoughts and asked them to place the dishes on the empty space on the table. He waved his hand and saw the dishes and dishes filled with vegetable soup on the table. The food in the soup basin flew into the empty dishes.

This magical method made the five boys and girls widen their eyes, and their little faces were full of horror.

Is their master a god? !

You can actually let the food fly into the bowl by itself without having to do it yourself! !
For a moment, the five newly bought boys and girls were all shocked by Li Lianpeng's hand. Their bodies tensed up and they did not dare to move while standing there.

"Okay, you can take it away and eat it. After eating, go and rest early. There is no need to work tonight. We will talk about everything tomorrow."

It wasn't until Li Lianpeng's words rang out that they came back to their senses, looked timidly at their fairy-like young master, and left the hall with their bowls in hand.

After they all left, Li Lianpeng showed off in front of the newly bought boys and girls. However, Li Lianpeng, who was in an inexplicable low mood, picked up the chopsticks and waved his hands:

"Let's eat too, it will be cold later."

Su Xiaoyong was about to say something, but when he saw this, he swallowed his words and picked up his chopsticks to eat.

After dinner, after a brief tidying up, Li Lianhua excused herself and went back to the Lotus Building to rest. Li Lianpeng and Su Xiaoyong sat in the yard to enjoy the breeze.

The two of them were wearing thick clothes, and they were not poisoned like Li Lianhua, so they were not afraid of the cold.

There is no moonlight tonight, and there are thick clouds on the dark sky. It seems that there will be a winter rain tomorrow or tonight.

-It might also snow.

God, who can say for sure?
Li Lianpeng looked up at the gloomy sky, and after a long time he said, "Xiao Yong."

"Huh?" the woman responded, "What's wrong?"

"What do you think of the current world?"

"Peace and prosperity."

Su Xiaoyong replied calmly, and immediately followed Li Lianpeng's example, looked up at the night sky, and said softly:

"At least, that's what the officials say about Daxi."

"Peace and prosperity..." Li Lianpeng said in a slightly dull tone: "I'm afraid that's not how the word peace and prosperity is used."

"After I came down from the mountain, what I heard, saw, and experienced along the way did not match this word." "You Daxi..." Li Lianpeng paused, shook his head and said, "That's all, no. said."

Su Xiaoyong didn't know why Li Lianpeng, who was usually not upright, suddenly became so sentimental today, but she could clearly feel that his mood was wrong and he seemed very unhappy.

Also, no one who has seen the prosperity of the world and suddenly goes to the slave market where people are put in cages and sold with labels will not be indifferent.When she was a child, she went with her grandfather to buy maids, and she felt sad for a long time after looking at the slaves in cages, with ragged clothes and sallow complexions.

I couldn’t explain why I was sad at that time, I just wasn’t happy and couldn’t do anything. It took me a long time to get over it.

Grandpa told her that those people in cages were poor people who had been ruthlessly abandoned by God.

But poor people must have something to hate.

Grandpa also warned her not to be blinded by what she saw in front of her because of temporary pity. She should treat people and things rationally and see with her heart instead of just relying on a pair of eyes.

For example, those who were prisoners of war, before they became slaves and were bought and sold, they did many evil things based on their power and wealth. It was better to become a slave without freedom than to die.

Another example is the families and children of those captives. Daxi is not as peaceful as it seems. There are always wars on the border.

Those small countries have always coveted the vast land and rich resources of the Central Plains, and they did not hesitate to launch troops to launch wars and invade the Daxi territory.

If it weren't for the soldiers guarding the border who fought bravely to kill the enemy and kept the enemy at bay, the world would have collapsed in a matter of seconds.

As for the poor people who have been displaced by natural disasters, in order to keep their families alive, they often sell their sons and daughters, which is a helpless act.

Jiangnan has been quite prosperous since ancient times, with a large number of aristocratic families and wealthy businessmen from all walks of life. These poor people from all over the world who were sold here can always find a bite to eat and survive.

Natural disasters cannot be stopped by manpower, let alone man-made disasters. This is the ancestral motto passed down by the ancestors of the Su family in Jinling.

Collecting all kinds of intelligence from all over the world, following the dragon in troubled times and dormant in prosperous times, are the keys to the Jinling Su family's inheritance remaining standing for hundreds of years.

"I can't tell whether the world is good or bad."

Su Xiaoyong comforted softly: "But I know that whether a person is happy or not depends on what he cares about and what he doesn't care about."

"Lotus pod."

This was the first time that Su Xiaoyong only called Li Lianpeng by his first name. Hearing this, Li Lianpeng was slightly startled and turned to look at her.

Under the dim light, the woman's eyes were extremely bright, and she was heard to say softly:

"You have to look at your heart and understand what you want."

"In this way, your troubles will be solved."

"What do I want..."

Li Lianpeng murmured and repeated.

Yes, he has to understand, what exactly does he want?
The reason why he came to this world and where he came from can no longer be traced, but he should always know where he should go next and what he should do.

Marry the woman you like and become a rich man with children and grandchildren. This wish is within your reach.

It is not difficult to help Li Lianhua get rid of the poison of Bicha and help him return to the top of the martial arts world. But what happens next?
He can't keep eating and drinking until he is old in his long life, right?

Ask yourself.

When he saw the whole picture of the slave market with his own eyes today, and saw those people who were kept in cages, like animals, and were bought and sold at will like him, he was deeply touched in his heart.

There are three questions in life: who am I, where am I, and where should I go.

He already had answers to the first two questions, but the last one always came out of his heart from time to time, torturing his soul.

The sense of superiority between people from two generations and prophets disappeared under the torture of this question.

This world really exists, he is real, Su Xiaoyong is real, Li Lianhua is real, and the few maids and servants he recruited into the house today, who have their own appearance and personality, and who follow the rules, are also real. existing.

After seeing with his own eyes those issues that made him feel particularly unfair, he could not pretend to ignore them...

Just as he was thinking confusedly in his mind, he suddenly felt a cold feeling on his face.

Li Lianpeng subconsciously raised her head and looked up at the sky.

Snowing.

A gust of cold wind blew slowly by, and Li Lianpeng's chaotic thoughts suddenly became clear.
