The four of them warmly invited Lin Pingzhi into Meizhuang. Not only did they not have any suspicion, they did not show any disapproval... Instead, they were afraid that Lin Pingzhi would run away.

This is very different from the original work, when Xiang Wentian and Linghu Chong entered Meizhuang, they tried their best.

If in the original work, in a parallel world between Xiang Wentian and Linghu Chong, a man named Lin Pingzhi sneaked into Meizhuang and was so relaxed. Not only were people not on guard against him, but they also welcomed him with open doors, what would his expression be like?

He was probably so shocked that his jaw dropped to the ground.

Lin Pingzhi was very happy to see the people in Meizhuang being so enthusiastic.

"That would be disrespectful!"

"Please please please."

"Master Lin, please."

…

Huang Zhonggong led the way, and a group of people entered Meizhuang with joy and laughter.

Meizhuang is very big.

However, it is not luxurious, but rather has a clean and elegant literati style.

Walking in Meizhuang, one feels tranquility, without the turmoil of the world.

At first glance, it does look like a paradise.

"This place is really nice." Lin Pingzhi praised.

"Tranquility...without the ostentation of the world, it is really a paradise. No wonder the four of them live in seclusion here. It is indeed a livable place, which is enviable."

"Haha, blah blah blah... As a young master, how can I not be envious? If the young master wants, let alone Meizhuang, a more comfortable place to live than here, isn't that what he wants?" Huang Zhonggong said.

"I am waiting for a humble house. I have to be wrong to say that I can only be quiet."

"We have nothing else to ask for. We just want to stay away from disputes, live in peace, and do some useless chess, calligraphy and painting."

Although they are modest, the joy on their faces... it is not difficult to see that they really like this place.

I also like to be praised and recognized by Lin Pingzhi.

Recognize their indifferent character.

Several people were seated.

Lin Pingzhi was honored as the first.

Four friends from the south of the Yangtze River sit together.

Xiang'er, Ren Yingying and other maids were at the same table as Ding Jian and Shi Lingwei.

"Sir, it's rare to see beautiful scenery today, why don't we drink three glasses first?" Huang Zhonggong was the first to raise a glass and propose a toast.

"Hey, I'm afraid this will disappoint you. Lin doesn't know how to drink." Lin Pingzhi refused.

"Can't drink?"

The four of them were a little confused.

At this time, Lao Huang...oh no.

It was Shi Lingwei who explained aloud:

"Sir, Mr. Lin really doesn't know how to drink. After traveling around the world for so long, everyone in the world knows that he only drinks tea."

Huang Zhonggong slapped his forehead:

"I was negligent and did not entertain you well... Please forgive me, sir."

"It's nothing. It's just that Mr. Huang calls me Young Master. It's inappropriate. If you don't mind, you can call me Lin Pingzhi, or Pingzhi." Lin Pingzhi said politely.

Seeing how humble and polite Lin Pingzhi was, the four of them were even more satisfied with him.

"How can this be done? Calling Lin Pingzhi is really rude, and calling Pingzhi is like calling a junior." Huang Zhonggong said.

"I am originally a junior."

"No, no, no, Mr. Lin is not a junior... We are of the same mind as you. It would be a bit of a stretch to call Mr. Lin a junior."

"Yes, you can't call me young master."

"In that case, we won't be ranked by seniority. How many years are we older? Then I'll call you Brother Lin, and how about you call us Brother?"

"Yes, when we make friends, how can we rank them based on seniority? Just treat them like brothers!"

When Lin Pingzhi heard this, he seemed flattered and said:

"No, no, no. The four gentlemen and my father are all of the same generation. If some of them call me brothers, wouldn't it be condescending to lower themselves? Are you wronged? No... no..."

"There are no such nonsense. To be honest, your father and I don't know each other, let alone have any friendship. How can we be arranged for a lifetime? We are friends with you, and we are not with your father. Let's get involved with your father.

Well?" Black and White said.

"Second brother is right. When we make friends, we just want to see if we can chat with each other. What does seniority have to do with it?"

"If you don't mind, we will call you Brother Lin, and you will call us Brother."

"But..." Lin Pingzhi hesitated.

He wanted to say something, but was interrupted by the bald pen man:

"No, let's leave it at that, Brother Lin."

"Yes, although we have withdrawn from the disputes between Jianghu and Jianghu, we are still Jianghu people after all. What we care about is happiness and a happy life. Why bother with red tape?"

"We brothers don't care about those identities."

After hearing these words, Lin Pingzhi seemed to have been persuaded by the suggestion. He no longer hesitated and said: "That's it, brothers... From now on, we will treat each other as brothers."

"That's exactly what it should be."

"Come here, in exchange for tea, Brother Lin and I will drink three cups of tea instead of wine." Huang Zhonggong was happy in his heart.

Although they had just met Lin Pingzhi for the first time, during this period, Lao Huang Shi Lingwei kept mentioning Lin Pingzhi's deeds in their ears, which made the four Jiangnan friends know a lot about Lin Pingzhi, and even had some... idolatry.

.

Even though it was their first meeting, they already "understood" each other very well.

That's why we can communicate so easily.

"Then listen to Brother Huang, let's have tea instead of wine and drink three cups." Lin Pingzhi said cheerfully.

"good!"

"Brother's true temperament and our appetite."

"Here, let's have tea instead of wine."

Five people...having a great time.

The scene is harmonious.

Only Ren Yingying kept rolling her eyes secretly.

"Lin Pingzhi, others don't know you, but I still don't know you?"

"You hypocritical guy!"

"You're obviously just pretending..."

"Although I don't know what you want to do, you are deliberately trying to be nice to the Four Friends of Jiangnan."

"Poor Four Friends of Jiangnan, I fell into your trap like this!"

…

"Come on, drink!"

"Brother Lin, to tell you the truth, when I first met you, I felt that you were very familiar to me."

"It feels like I've known you for a long time."

"Even though we haven't communicated before, when we communicated, there was no resentment at all."

"It's too late to meet you."

"We felt like old friends at first sight."

Lin Pingzhi knew that they must feel this way in their hearts, and it would be weird if they didn't feel this way.

Otherwise, wouldn't the money I bet on Shi Lingwei be wasted?

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Otherwise, why do you think I befriend Shi Lingwei? Isn’t it just to make you have a good impression of me... or even, idol feeling?

Why do you say idol feeling...

Because Lin Pingzhi collected so many treasures about music, chess, calligraphy and painting, and they happened to play into the hands of the four Jiangnan friends, it would be strange if they didn't subconsciously admire and envy him.

"My brothers and I feel like we are old friends," Lin Pingzhi responded.

The five people chatted happily and almost made an alliance based on blood.

Talking about the critical moment, Lin Pingzhi said at the right time:
