Chapter 21 Chapter 21 The Days After Getting Rich

In the middle of the night, the dilapidated oil lamp was polished brightly, and the light it emitted became brighter. Except for the straw shop in the corner, there was a large carved table and three exquisite chairs in the empty room, so When Kim came in the door, he couldn't keep his mouth shut. The table is full of dishes, each of which is fresh and delicate, with a full range of color and fragrance, which almost makes people drool. Miss Lan is holding a pot and pouring wine. Occasionally holding a cup to drink by himself, with a handsome face and an elegant posture, he looks like a well-behaved nobleman, waiting for guests to attend an appointment.

The dishes on the table have not been touched. The black shadow arrived at the table in a flash. "Lion's head from Qingjiang Mansion, fresh shrimp from Baihai City, where did you get them! Plum blossom ham from Xiaotong County, perch from Songjiang County..." It took half a cup of tea before Jin Huanlai put them on the table. He counted all the dishes, he raised his eyes and looked at Jiang Xiaohu in disbelief, "When the sun comes out from the west, the poor boy has become generous." Jiang Xiaohu didn't change his face, and nodded: "I'm very ashamed, I suddenly got rich recently, so I plan to treat guests well."

"You will get rich?" Jin Huan came to look him up and down, feeling even more suspicious. "Receiving one million gambling debts, is it considered rich?" Jin Huanlai seemed to understand something, almost jumped up, pointed at Jiang Xiaohu's nose: "Hey, who gave it to you!" Jiang Xiaohu stretched unhurriedly, and leaned back comfortably on the chair: "I made a bet the day before yesterday and accidentally won a million dollars, but that guy ran away, so I had no choice but to ask his wife for it. " Miss Lan next to her blinked, and added: "Unexpectedly, four hands love to renege on debts, my wife is very reasonable."

Jin was also angry: "Who said she is my wife? Miss Lan nodded: "So it wasn't, anyway, she took the initiative to pay off your debts with money." "It must be that you young couple are uneasy and kind, seeing that Lingling is innocent and can be bullied, so you teamed up to fool her," Jin Huanlai said angrily, "I work for you all day long, but you are very good, and you actually bully me behind your back?" Before Jiang Xiaohu could speak, Miss Lan first laughed: "What is your name?" Jin was still at a loss for words and stared: "Women are not allowed to interrupt when men talk."

Miss Lan laughed secretly, and got up: "Who cares to hear you say that these dishes are all cold, I will go out and buy some hot side dishes and come back." "Wife be careful." "Yep." No one was watching when he came in, so it's not surprising that Jin came back. As soon as Miss Lan went out, he sat down on the chair carelessly, picked up the chopsticks and started eating hard, as if he had a grudge against these dishes of. Jiang Xiaohu propped his elbows on the table and touched his chin: "It is said that the leader of the Jin Dynasty is rich in the world, but I think it looks like a starved ghost reincarnated."

Jin Huanlai said viciously: "You have to eat the food and wine that you spent a million dollars on!" Seeing him like this, Jiang Xiaohu stopped laughing and nodded: "Then you eat more." He stretched out his hand to pick up the flagon beside him, and the clear wine poured into the cup, beautiful and bright, full of fragrance, and there was a faint warmth in his eyes, the cup gradually filled up, and the warmth gradually became stronger. Jin didn't even look up: "I don't drink." "I know," Jiang Xiaohu put down the pot, stretched out his hand to push the wine in front of him, looked straight at him, reflected the light, the warmth turned into countless emotions, "If it weren't for you these two years, I... ..." He didn't go on, but the gratitude implied in it was not difficult to understand. "It doesn't matter if you don't drink this wine, it's just my idea, I should respect you."

Jin Huanlai looked up at him for a moment, and instead of being polite, he sneered: "Except for a fool like me, who in this world would help you for no reason?" Jiang Xiaohu was silent. Jin Huanlai didn't look at him any more, picked up his wine glass and drank it all in one gulp, and said nonchalantly, "When do you plan to do it?" Jiang Xiaohu said: "Strike first may not necessarily make you stronger." Jin also came to be serious: "It seems that she already likes you a lot?" Jiang Xiaohu laughed: "Lingling is Muslim." Jin also came to put down his wine glass, and answered irrelevant questions: "Human favors are not so easy to sell."

"His time is running out." "It has nothing to do with me, it's not me who is going to die." Jiang Xiaohu was curious: "How did you and him get into a grudge?" Jin also came to see him, stretched out his hand to push the wine glass away, and said calmly: "When he first debuted, he cut off thirty-three hands of my teacher, and asked them to bring me back a word." "What words?" "The Thousand Hands Sect are all poor and rascals, they can only do bad things." Jin also came to be jealous of others saying that he was poor, even to the point of going too far. If someone scolded him like this, then this person would probably not say anything within a year. Regarding this strange taboo, Jiang Xiaohu also I don't know why, but he won't ask more about past events that his friends don't want to mention.

So Jiang Xiaohu just smiled: "I think he was young and energetic back then, at least you are richer than me." Jin Huanlai sneered: "He is just self-righteous. Although I, Qianshoujiao, did not do any good deeds, but the brothers in the sect have earned everything by themselves. They are much better than those who just sit and collect money. Is it amazing to use a sword with a sword? I just want to ask you, which one is not our real ability, such as lightness skills, hidden weapons, poisoning, and disguise, and it may not be inferior to others." Jiang Xiaohu nodded solemnly: "Yes, even if he doesn't let go, we can rescue Lingling ourselves, and you don't owe him anything."

"That's right," Jin Huanlai turned his eyes back to the table, "Today's food and drink are okay, but they are too greasy. Let's change the taste tomorrow. I want the steamed soft-shelled turtle from Fanjiang Tower, the fermented duck from Shitianfu, and the rice from Nanjin Pavilion." Small bamboo shoots and mushrooms..." He said dozens of dishes in one breath, and Jiang Xiaohu was dumbfounded, and finally added thoughtfully: "Remember to ask for a jar of good bamboo leaf greens. I don't drink, I want it for you of." Jiang Xiaohu jumped up: "Hey, I finally made a small fortune, and you want to rely on me?"

"My friend got rich, it's not bad, it's not bad." "It turns out that the wealthy Jin leader is an iron rooster!" "Knowing that you still dare to make a fortune?" "..." Villa, on the hall. "Do it now?" The person who spoke was an indifferent and handsome young man in snow clothes. His identity is no stranger, just look at the world-famous water-gathering sword next to him. "Not bad." The "lord" wearing a black hat nodded calmly. Shuifeng frowned slightly, but did not speak. "You and I don't have much time," the "lord" sighed long, and part of his emotion was true, "I'm old, and I don't want to wait any longer." "Are you sure?" "The old man never does anything he is not sure about." Shui Feng was silent for a moment: "What should I do?" "I have my own arrangements for this matter. Shuicheng mainly deals with Jin Huanlai. At that time, I will tell him to fall into your hands obediently. It's just..." Having said this, the "Master" paused, as if he was a little embarrassed, "If this plan is to be implemented, the Lord of Shui City will have to condescend to live in this village for a few days." Shui Feng looked at him lightly, but he didn't refuse directly: "There are too many formations here, I don't like trouble." "My lord" breathed a sigh of relief: "You don't need to worry about this, it's rare that the Master of Shui City is willing to show his face, how dare the old man neglect the guests." Shui Fengqing no longer refused, and suddenly said: "I heard that there is a young lady in the Lan family." "My lord" was slightly stunned, as if he understood something, and there was a bit of a smile in his voice: "The Millennium Warm Jade Cup may not be as magical as it is in the legend." "good." "Water City Lord has a deep affection, could it be that he will also be tempted?" Shuifeng said coldly: "I don't want to be ashamed of my ancestors, there must always be a woman to carry on the family." "My lord" stroked his palms: "A man should be like this. I heard that this year's golden autumn will be very lively. She also took the post. I think the Lord of Water City has seen her..." Shui Feng lightly interrupted him: "It's not that." "My lord" was stunned for a while, then laughed: "Could it be that silly girl?" "She's not stupid." "good eyesight." "My wife always chooses to be at ease." Shui Fengqing stood up, walked down the steps, and went out. Not long after the white figure disappeared, a pretty figure opened the curtain and came out from another small door. "My lord" didn't get up, but sat on the chair and said with a smile: "Is the girl not convinced?" She looked outside the door, and smiled coquettishly: "This only proves that he is as blind as Jiang Xiaohu, so it has nothing to do with me. Even if I don't accept it, I will wait until the day your old man's family affairs are completed." "My lord" put away his smile in satisfaction: "How many things are certain in this world, you are the smartest and know when not to get angry, so I won't say more." Her eyes flickered slightly, and she nodded: "Do you want to do it?" "My lord" waved his hand: "What I'm worried about now is the Millennium Warm Jade Cup." She also didn't understand: "I didn't expect that the Lord of Water City would agree to stay. Is the Millennium Nuanyu Cup really so important to him?" "If you know who he is, you'll understand." "Lord" shook his head, a little mysteriously, "I'm afraid if you ask him to exchange the water-gathering sword, he will agree." She seemed to understand: "In this way, if the Millennium Nuanyu Cup is in Jin Huanlai's hands, the Lord of Shui City may not be ours. You old man is worried that he will be cornered and will cooperate with Jin Huanlai and the others, so let him stay here?" The "lord" sighed: "People who are too emotional are not suitable for doing big things. He doesn't have much time. He has already expressed his favor to Jin Huanlai behind our backs and let the people over there go, even though Jin Huanlai didn't buy him. But I don’t want to take any chances, keep him under my nose, I always feel more at ease when doing things, it seems that it’s time for us to do something, and things will change if we’re late.” "This is not the only thing your old man is worried about, is it?" "You still understand," the "lord" nodded gratified, "Besides us and the Qianshoujiao, there are also a group of people with unknown origins outside the Jiang Family Courtyard. " She was surprised: "Then we..." "My lord" sneered, and interrupted her: "It's been two or three years, and those people haven't moved, which means they don't dare to fight us openly, whoever strikes first will own it." "You're always right, but I'm afraid..." "We are not just a helper." She didn't speak anymore, she just thought for a long time before she bowed her head and said: "If there is nothing else, I will go down first." "Go ahead and entertain another distinguished guest." He especially emphasized the word "distinguished guest". She replied softly: "Yes." For the table of wine and food that Jin also ordered, Jiang Xiaohu was busy all day, running around the east and west of the city, dizzy from exhaustion until the sun went down. "Osmanthus fish." After saying the name of the last dish, Jiang Xiaohu almost lay down on the counter. The shopkeeper eyed him suspiciously. Jiang Xiaohu smiled wryly, this is the thirty-sixth time I have seen this expression on other people's faces, could it be that I am not born rich?So he threw out a silver coin: "Is it enough?" The shopkeeper's jaw was about to drop to the ground. This useless guy got lucky in his life. He married a capable, beautiful and earning wife. As expected, he became prosperous. Now the poor boy dares to come here to order famous dishes!In addition to being envious, they also look contemptuous. In fact, this is also the tragedy of men in the world. Once they marry an excellent wife, even if they earn money by themselves, they are suspected of being soft food. Fortunately, Jiang Xiaohu was the most useless person, so he didn't care about these things, and after explaining in a good-tempered manner, he turned around and left. Not far from the door, a hand pulled him into the alley. Seeing the person in front of him clearly, Jiang Xiaohu frowned: "What are you doing here again?" Not caring about his expression, Lan Xinluo said in a hurry: "Is there anything special about her recently?" Jiang Xiaohu looked at her intently: "Why are you helping me? Are you not afraid that that person will know?" "Anyway, you are the first man not to be fascinated by me..." "And he's a useless man, so you're not reconciled?" Lan Xinluo was stunned for a long time, then turned her face and murmured: "Maybe, although you don't like me and don't remember me, I don't want you to die in vain..." Jiang Xiaohu interrupted her: "There were informers in Tianshui City that day, so Lingling was caught by them, but Xinyue and I are not the only ones who can recognize Lingling." Lan Xinluo's complexion changed slightly: "You doubt me?" Jiang Xiaohu asked back: "That person threatens you, so Master Lan can't deal with it?" Lan Xinluo looked at him for a moment, then suddenly lowered her head: "Daddy has been poisoned for half a year." Jiang Xiaohu was stunned. Lan Xinluo forced a smile: "Don't tell me about this, it doesn't matter if you believe my words or not, it's not a bad thing to be careful." After she finished speaking, she turned around and left, her graceful steps and graceful posture had returned to her usual demeanor. Jiang Xiaohu suddenly said, "How can I find you?" She paused and said in a low voice, "Xiyun Street Hutong." The person had already left, but Jiang Xiaohu was still frowning, standing there in a daze, as if he couldn't figure something out. "Do you believe her?" A small hand tugged at the corner of his clothes. The girl next to her didn't wear a black robe, but changed into a beautiful white dress with purple borders. She still had neat bangs on her forehead, but her long black hair was no longer as simple as it used to be. There are not too many or too many jewelry, but none of them are treasures. The gorgeous description and the innocent expression on the small face make it even more lovely. Jiang Xiaohu was surprised for a moment, then raised his eyebrows: "Good Lingling, who do you think I should trust?" "Of course it's my wife." Qiu Lingling folded her hands behind her back. "You dress like this, how can you still look like a thief?" Jiang Xiaohu laughed, looked at her carefully, regretting, "If there is not a tigress in my house, I will definitely marry you back." Qiu Lingling blushed, and said bitterly: "You men are not good people, and you lose your soul when you see a beautiful woman." "Little ancestor, don't wrong me. Old Jin is really not a good person, but I am a very good person." Before Jin was here, Jiang Xiaohu was much bolder. He took the hairpin from her head and looked at it with distress. He couldn't stop, "I'm really lost, that guy really is the most willing to part with you. There is no second butterfly purple jade hairpin in the world, so it was given to you." Qiu Lingling bit her lips: "Because I'm getting married, he gave me this hairpin and fire toad as a dowry." Jiang Xiaohu was startled: "Married?" She nodded silently. "Marry who?" Qiu Lingling turned around, her voice was almost inaudible: "It's Brother Yi Qinghan." The Yi family is well-known in Jianghu. Because it is located in the north, its wealth and honor are called "Nanjiang Beiyi" together with the original Jiang family. Unexpectedly, the world is impermanent, and the Jiang family has undergone tremendous changes, leaving only "Northern Yi". Without mentioning the preface, everyone now knows that the Yi family is not only a famous martial arts family, but also the title of the richest man in the Jianghu. Wide, the mastery of the palm can be listed in the top three in the world. However, very few people know that the Yi family and the Thousand Hands Sect are actually very close. The founder of the Thousand Hands Sect, Jin Sihai, and the ancestor of the Yi Family, Yi Nanshan, were close friends, so the Thousand Hands Sect has been stolen all over the world, but has never been touched. The idea of ​​the Yi family, and the Yi family has never interfered with anything about the Qianshoujiao. Non-aggression, etiquette is added. Compared to that guy Jin Huanlai, Yi Qinghan is more worthy of you, Jiang Xiaohu cursed secretly, and patted her on the shoulder: "He asked you to marry?" "He intends to redeem the body of Miss Qingsi from Xinqinglou." Qiu Lingling snatched the hairpin from his hand and ran away.
