Chapter 30: You Are a Broken Sleeve
"Little Brother Chen......" Maybe he knew that it was really inappropriate for him to stare at others just now, and Fang Dingkuang just didn't hear Qiao Lan's muttering, "You have traveled all over the world at a young age, which really makes Brother Yu envious." The custom of robbing marriage that you just talked about with my shopkeeper is not known to be the marriage custom of the western realm. ”
"We young owners also like to travel very much, and we have to go out almost every year to see everywhere," the shopkeeper added on the side.
"I'll tell you the truth, after I came out, I couldn't find my way back when I wanted to turn back. Qiao Lan said perfunctorily, but in fact, she was wailing in her heart: Banmen got an axe once?!, no, I can step on landmines like this, I am nonsense, how do I know where it is, I don't even know where it is...... She summoned the shopkeeper before Fang Dingkuang could ask again, with a worried little face, and asked in a low voice, "Your young master always looks at me and talks nonsense, I am really panicked." I don't know if he broke his sleeve, but if he was, I would stay soon. ”
"......" Shaodong's house is on the main seat a few steps away, otherwise the shopkeeper will definitely discuss the topic of broken sleeves with Chen Xiaoge'er, thinking that Chen Xiao'er has traveled so many places, and he may not know how to heal it. The shopkeeper was also really worried, but he couldn't stop talking, but he didn't realize that the little brother in front of him was so open-mouthed and dared to say anything.
"Ahem, cough !!" Fang Dingkuang, who was once again left aside, and was still deeply misunderstood, coughed twice again, signaling the two people not to go too far, others are still here. "Doesn't Little Brother Chen have rare treasures, you might as well take them out for us to appreciate and appreciate. ”
"This is nature!" finally passed a level, this thief is a thief, I don't know if I can get out of it today.
Qiao Lan took out the delicate small box from the wide sleeve again, opened the box, and the green glow spread out, and inside was naturally the fluorescent stone ball the size of an egg. The price of the night pearl is generally more than 10,000 taels, and there is no market. Fang Dingkuang is the superior in the end, and his performance is quite calm, but the shopkeeper's eyes immediately glowed green, and he couldn't wait to immediately collect the "Night Pearl".
Fang Dingkuang was very disgusted with his own mastery, if it weren't for the fact that he was quite conscientious in his usual work, he also helped the Fang family receive a Maitreya Jade Buddha not long ago, and let him be honored and raised.
In fact, I really don't blame the shopkeeper, he usually guards this pawnshop in Wuli Town, no matter how good the objects are, they are limited, the good things he has seen before, but the sale of hundreds of taels, rare treasures, he really hasn't touched it, this time he finally ran into it, how could he not be excited, how could he not lose his temper. The shopkeeper felt that his luck had been so good recently that he had encountered rare treasures one after another.
Qiao Lan had already taken the expressions of the master and servant into her eyes, and she had a number in her heart. She is clever in her tongue, and she also has a lotus tongue, and she is stunned to say that the fluorescent stone ball that needs to absorb the light source before it can shine can be said to be a spiritual night pearl. This is the spiritual night pearl, Fang Dingkuang and the shopkeeper have heard of it for the first time, and even Fang Dingkuang, who can pretend, can't help but show great interest.
In order to show that what she said was true, Qiao Lan opened the box and put it in a visible place to bask in the sun. It's not a way to wait, the shopkeeper's pot doesn't open which pot, talking about the surprise that Qiao Lan just said, because there was a certain communication about the fluorescent stone ball just now, Qiao Lan's previous "broken sleeve theory" was invalid, Fang Dingkuang felt that Qiao Lan should no longer misunderstand himself, and he also showed great interest.
"Oh, I don't know where Brother Fang has been. Qiao Lan pretended to be very interested and asked, but her mind was thinking about how to fool this cunning fox.
"I go south in winter and north in summer. Fang Ding Kuang replied, "I don't know if Little Brother Chen has seen the snow scene in the northern country, I heard that it is extremely beautiful, but it is so cold that he panics, and he will be frozen by the snow if he is not careful." ”
"......" turned out to be a cold goods, haha, just talk about what you haven't seen, "Naturally, I've seen it, that snow scene ......" Qiao Lan described a scene of thousands of miles of ice and snow, which made Fang Ding Kuang envious, he also wanted to see such a magnificent scene, but he was really afraid of the cold, Lishan County is already located in the south, and it is not cold in winter, but he is still too cold to stand.
As he spoke, half a quarter of an hour passed, and Qiao Lan took the box back, and the fluorescent stone ball had just absorbed the sunlight, and it was indeed much brighter. The shopkeeper has long been convinced of Qiao Lan, because the other party is too knowledgeable, at a young age, the travel is so exciting, and it is not surprising that there are rare treasures in his hands, Fang Dingkuang is not without doubts, but he also does not have doubts, the authenticity of people still needs to be screened, but things are indeed real.
Qiao Lan put away five golden tickets of one hundred taels, ten silver tickets of one thousand taels, and fifty silver tickets of one hundred taels, and said goodbye to Fang Dingkuang with satisfaction. Do everything to do everything, act to play a full set, Qiao Lan has to continue to fool Fang Dingkuang and say that he lives in Yuelai Inn, and he will stay in Wuli Town in the near future, and he can go to find "him" at any time. Fang Dingkuang was very "thoughtful" and arranged a carriage to take her to the Yuelai Inn, but Qiao Lan was disrespectful and got into the carriage. When she arrived at the Yuelai Inn, she said hello to the master and Xiao Er at the counter, and then went upstairs into the Tianzi No. 2 room, which she set this morning at the Yuelai Inn.
Outside the door, the Fang family coachman who sent Qiao Lan over silently returned to the car and went back to the Fang family to resume his life.
Since Qiao Lan left, Fang Dingkuang didn't say a word, looked at the box in his hand with an unpredictable expression, and the shopkeeper waiting on the side secretly shouted to himself: Young master, what to do, what to do, should I go back and tell the old lady thoroughly, so that they can be mentally prepared. Okay, why is there such a problem?
The coachman came back to his life, everything seemed normal, but Fang Dingkuang was even more suspicious and uncertain, and he asked the coachman to go to the Yuelai Inn tomorrow morning to inquire about the situation.
"Young Master...... My mother-in-law is sick. The shopkeeper said hesitantly, "Can I go back to my home in the county seat?" ”
"Where did you get the news, when she asked me to bring you something the day before yesterday, she looked fine. Fang Dingkuang said unhurriedly, he could see at a glance what the shopkeeper was thinking.
"Uh......" The shopkeeper cried with a sad face, and then suddenly knelt down, "Young Master, you can't, the eldest young master went, and he didn't leave a son and a half daughter, and the third young master is not in good health, the Fang family will count on you in the future, you ...... Can't you...... What if you ...... If...... I really like it, and after marrying my own son, I will raise one or two little children......"
"Get out of !!" Fang Dingkuang pulled the shopkeeper away with his feet and left by himself.
So, Fang Dingkuang, who was not angry with Qiao Lan, was choked by his old servant...... It was also Qiao Lan who couldn't see this scene, otherwise she would have to clap her hands and applaud, but it was really too difficult for Fang Dingkuang to deal with, which made her tremble.
Qiao Lan resumed her women's clothes, and when night fell, she went out through the back door of the Yuelai Inn and returned to Guangfu Hutong. Yu Dana looked at the door, and when she saw Qiao Lan, she hurriedly greeted her and shouted, "Girl!" This is what Qiao Lan specially requested, hearing the word "Miss", she was very tired and couldn't adapt to it, so she asked the people below to change her mouth and call herself "Girl!"
"I came back early today!" "The west bank is the end of work after the sun goes down, and Yu Dana returned to Wuli Town from Qingshan Village, no matter how the land is gone, today is an hour earlier, but his face is not very good, Qiao Lan thought that something big had happened, and when he was about to ask, Yu Dana said again, "The girl will not go out alone again in the future." ”
"Uh......" Qiao Lan choked, she forgot that Yu Dana was not Zhang Niangzi, she was a subordinate who dared to open her mouth to give her advice.
"In two days, Fluttershy's body will be well, why don't you arrange for her to follow Miss and serve her?"
"Let's talk about this again!" Qiao Lan didn't agree immediately, joking, she trusted Yu Dana, but the people next to her, even if it was Yu Dana's biological daughter, she didn't buy it, "Why, look at you like this, there is good news." ”
"Yes, there are only about a hundred trees left in the northwest corner, and it is estimated that the boundary line will be cleared early tomorrow morning. Yu Dana has already sorted out the accounts, "So far, 1,756 trees have been cut down, and a total of 282,735 wen has been spent. When Qiao Lan talked about distribution according to work, he had already talked to Yu Dana about efficiency, so he accepted the doubling of expenses without any psychological pressure.
"Well, not bad, not bad!" Qiao Lan nodded in praise, this thing went much faster than she expected, she thought it would take about six days, but she didn't expect that four days would come to an end. "We have to be in time now, we have to be fast, so it's worth the extra money. ”
"When the casual workers were gone, there were still a few families who didn't leave, and I guess they would take advantage of the moonlight to start digging trees overnight, and maybe they would start digging ditches tomorrow. I have already told most of the people to change their shovels tomorrow. ”
Qiao Lan looked up, only to find that the moon was round and hanging in the air, with a little orange and yellow, it looked like the moon on August 15, she thought about it, isn't it the season to eat moon cakes in the Mid-Autumn Festival, but according to Chen Yuehe's memory, there is no such season in this era.
Loneliness arose spontaneously in Qiao Lan's heart, she missed her grandfather and the 21st century...... I hope my grandfather can't find me, and so will my father. I'm just a time and space that my soul travels through, maybe the body is still there, and they will understand when they see my corpse...... Qiao Lan suddenly couldn't think about it anymore, that scene was so sad that she wanted to cry...... No, I was in space at the time, and my body wasn't left outside......
