83 Inner Court (2)
In any case, this matter spread later on. Various versions of the breeding method were also spread.
Many of them were just rumors that were not trustworthy. However, there were always people who found some really capable people and asked for more reliable methods.
It was said that farming in the ancestral residence was a fast-paced method. It could let the koi fish sense the aura of the family and protect the entire family’s descendants.
Although it was said that these rumors could not be completely trusted, looking at the respectful expressions of those guests, there was a high chance that they believed it.
Liu Yun said regretfully, “My father tried it before, but unfortunately, he couldn’t. The koi died in five to six years.”
His family’s koi were raised at the same time when he was born. They could be said to be his little playmates.
At that time, when he heard that the koi had died, Liu Yun was sad for a long time.
Ye Xuan listened to the rumors and smiled at the side. After all, there was nothing to believe in.
The few of them chatted as they walked. Only then did they realize that there were some small fish ponds dug out in the middle of the garden. There were different ornamental fish raised inside.
Liu Yun was indeed knowledgeable about ornamental fish. He pointed at the species inside the ponds and introduced them to the rest.
“Brother Ye, look, that’s a guppy! Look at their tails. Aren’t they as beautiful as peacocks spreading their tails? Tsk tsk tsk, they’re really amazing!”
“This is also a kind of koi. Look at the silver brightness. The price is unimaginable!”
“These are arowana. Do you know them? The Golden Dragon Fish and Silver Dragon Fish are all super expensive species recently!”
Then, everyone walked into the third courtyard together.
In the third courtyard, one could see many high-level aquarium tanks. Many of them were embedded in the walls of the room. When the lights were turned on, it was as if they had entered the world of the sea.
Liu Yun roughly introduced that there were many tropical ornamental fish farmed here.
In order to maintain the temperature they needed daily, they could only be raised in the aquarium.
Ye Xuan stopped in front of the frogfish aquarium. He realized that tropical ornamental fish were typically more gorgeous in color. They looked like abstract Picasso paintings.
The colors were extremely rich. The fish were clearly of clashing colors, but there was a sense of harmony.
The white stripes on the clownfish were very beautiful. When they swam in the water, they were even more beautiful, making it seem like breathtaking scenery.
Meanwhile, the oscar fish didn’t seem very beautiful. It was like a gradient palette with colors stacked together.
Liu Yun explained excitedly to everyone. Because the colors of tropical ornamental fish were different, and everyone’s preferences were different, Liu Yuan was so angry that he stomped his feet.
“Are you guys listening to the knowledge seriously? I’m so angry!”
Everyone laughed and walked around for a while. Suddenly, they heard a commotion at the entrance of the other courtyard.
“What do you mean? Are you looking down on me?” It was a woman’s voice, and her tone sounded very angry.
Everyone immediately walked over and saw a man in a uniform explaining seriously, “I’m sorry, Madam. This is our fish exhibition auction. Customers without invitations are not allowed to enter.”
The woman seemed to feel embarrassed and couldn’t stand it anymore. “I know it’s an auction. Wouldn’t it be fine if I paid the deposit? If it exceeds the limit, I won’t buy it!”
There didn’t seem to be anything wrong with this.
The uniformed man still had a serious expression on his face as he said coldly, “It’s not like that, Madam. If you want to participate in the auction, you have to pay the deposit in advance, not make a fuss here. Alternatively, you can directly contact the butler of the courtyard to deal with it.”
The uniformed man’s words were very clear. His authority was limited and he was only responsible for customers entering and leaving.
If she had an invitation, they would welcome her with both hands. If not, he was sorry, but she couldn’t enter.
The woman looked like she wanted to pester him, but she was forcefully dragged away by her friend.
Ye Xuan turned to look at Liu Yun and asked, “Do we still need the invitation?”
Liu Yun patted his pocket to indicate that he had brought the invitations. “Yes, this is the rule here. It’s also because there are many high-ranking officials and nobles here that there are such rules.”
After Liu Yun finished speaking, he looked at the young masters and young ladies who had followed him over, as well as the few rich young masters from other provinces and cities. He said apologetically, “Only two other people can enter with an invitation. I’ll bring Brother Ye and Director Liu in for a walk!”
The rich second-generation heirs naturally did not dare to have any objections. They nodded repeatedly to show that they understood.
After all, they were also looking at the building in front of them. Since Liu Yun had said so, they also knew that such a place was not something they could enter at all. Even their fathers might not be qualified to enter.
Then, Liu Yun brought Ye Xuan and Liu Yanran to the ticket inspection entrance. After checking that his invitation was correct, the three of them walked into the fourth courtyard.
The fourth courtyard was a very quiet courtyard. If this courtyard was in the past, it would belong to the inner courtyard and be specially used by the mistress.
However, the courtyard here did not seem quiet. Instead, it gave off a dignified feeling.
As soon as they entered, they could see a huge hall. Many guests were drinking tea and talking softly.
Before they entered the hall, they could already smell the fragrance of tea, which shocked them.
Just this matcha fragrance alone made them know that this was good tea!
The three of them walked in and had just found a table to sit down when they heard a teasing voice not far away. “Yo, Young Master Liu, you’re here too. Why don’t I see President Liu today? Did you bring someone else here?”
Upon hearing this, Ye Xuan turned around and saw a young man in his twenties. He was wearing Givenchy clothes and looked like a super upstart.
Sometimes, Ye Xuan didn’t like Liu Yun’s outfit, but compared to this nouveau riche outfit, it was much better.
“Brother Ye, ignore him. That person’s name is Liu Fan. He doesn’t get along with me. He’s a lunatic!” Liu Yun saw Ye Xuan looking at Liu Fan and couldn’t help but remind him softly.
He hated Liu Fan very much, but he was unwilling to argue with him here.
Those who could attend the fish exhibition auction were all high-ranking officials and nobles who had rushed over from overseas. Liu Yun could not afford to lose face.
When Liu Fan saw that Liu Yun and Ye Xuan were silent, he sneered.
Liu Yun also looked at Liu Fan. Their family businesses were competing with each other. It was said that the previous generation had fought before, so this relationship naturally continued to the next generation.
If it was any other time, Liu Yun would definitely fight him. However, Brother Ye was here today, so Liu Yuan could not be bothered to argue with such a clown.
Then.
Liu Fan sized up Ye Xuan’s young face. This seemed to be someone he had never seen before. Liu Fan simply asked, “Liu Yun, who is this? Is he your cousin or your old man’s child with another woman?”
Liu Yun was immediately annoyed.
If Liu Fan was talking about him, he would tolerate it. However, he even dared to talk about Ye Xuan. How ridiculous!
“Shut your mouth. Let me tell you, this is Jinling, not Yuhang. In my territory, there’s no place for you to behave atrociously. If you dare to behave abnormally again, I’ll throw you out now!”
These words made Liu Fan’s face turn cold. Then, he chuckled. “Liu Yun, if your father was here, I would get out without saying anything. But you, who are you? When did Jinling become your territory? You told me to get out… You? I’m afraid you don’t have the right, right?”
As Liu Fan spoke, he glanced sideways at the bulging bodyguards behind him, his face filled with smugness.
These bodyguards were obviously skilled.
