Chapter 473: What Thoughts Are You Hiding?
"Shallow, are you sure?" said the fox sitting across from me, stretching his neck and whispering in my ear. A pair of good-looking fox eyes also looked around like a thief.
I reached out and slapped his face back, and with the other hand I grabbed the spoon and hurried to taste Luo Yan's improved "Yulu Qiong Juice".
This time she used fresh sour fruits, the ones that had just grown. There is a refreshing slight sourness in the bitter sweetness, and the strange taste becomes a taste that makes people reluctant to put down the spoon after the tongue is combined.
I drank one sip after another, and even I was annoyed that Qi Jingyuan always bothered me.
"Shallow, you can't do this, who are you here to tell me?" he muttered behind my palm, and simply pulled my hand away, "Why didn't I know you had acquaintances here?"
I drank the last spoonful of Gyokuro Qiong Juice and smashed my mouth before I looked up at him.
"I'm not sure about the Fanjia family. As for who to come to...... I pouted at the door, "Look, isn't this coming?" the pretty girl stood at the door, and immediately snatched half of the spring.
The fox let go of my hand and turned his head, frowning, "I don't know." I thought it was going to be a little cold. ”
"It's not her, it's the one behind her. I put the spoon into the bowl and motioned for Fan Xiaotian to come and put the bowl away. This kid was quick with his hands and feet, not only cleaned up the table, but also brought a pot of tea by the way.
The girl at the door walked in, and the person who was blocked by her crashed into Qi Jingyuan's gaze.
Short, round, dressed in a tawny tunic and an off-white hooded cape, he was covered only by his white-bearded face. He still squinted his eyes, and when he crossed the threshold, I subconsciously nervous.
I'm afraid he'll trip over the threshold!
"That's ...... The head of the Fan family, the Great Elder of the Wuxian Clan, what do you see this old man doing?" the fox wrinkled his nose in displeasure, and turned his sharp gaze to me, "Shallow, do you have something to hide from me?"
I smiled shamelessly, "yes." ”
"......" He was stunned for a moment, snorted coldly, turned his face away, and shouted at Fan Xiaotian: "Boy, come to a plate of boiled beef, plus stewed pig's trotters! ”
I touched my nose and didn't bother to pay attention to him. Yesterday I received a letter from a falcon, a grey eagle I had never seen before, coming in the night, and knowing how to open the window with its beak, and standing on my desk like an assassin.
It is more vivid to say that it is a letter than a power of attorney.
The delicate silk silk is written that there is an important matter entrusted to me and the fox, and it is not a favor commission (the letter indicates that it was written by Fan Xiaoleng of the Fan family). Fan Xiaoleng said that the specific things will be explained by her grandfather at Luo Luo Restaurant today, and we will also be paid for completing the task.
Thirty taels of gold.
When I saw this letter of entrustment, I remembered that the guy in Fan Xiaotian still owed me ten taels of gold! I owed money to repay the debt, and as soon as I arrived at Luo Luo Restaurant today, I turned into a debt collector to collect debts, and the young man's face turned red, and he swallowed his saliva and looked at Luo Yan.
The latter turned and went upstairs, and after a while came down with a delicate embroidered bag: "Ten taels of gold." She gave me the embroidered bag and twisted Fan Xiaotian's ears with her hand: "Why doesn't the old lady know that your kid said these things outside?"
"Pain, pain, ah, ah, aunt, auntie, that's expedient. Their husband and wife like money, so I offered this condition to deceive them...... "Fanxiaotian is pitiful."
Luo Yan thrust his waist and raised his eyebrows to carry him behind the counter: "From today onwards, I will only be responsible for food and accommodation." There is no wage, when to do the work of ten taels of gold, and when to start receiving silver. ”
"Ah, that can't be a lifetime?" Fan Xiaotian's face turned white.
"It's up to you to see what you're capable of, wipe the inside clean for my wife now. No mud spots and dust are allowed to be seen in the corners and corners. After Luo Yan finished roaring, he smoothed the green silk behind his ear with all kinds of charm, "Two, what else do you want to eat?"
The fox and I stared at each other for a moment, and then I asked for the Gyokuro Qiong juice. He didn't speak.
Now I deliberately want so much expensive, I want to spend money angrily, right? I don't want to think about whose hands the money is, little lady, I don't like it, he eats himself as a free helper, and he doesn't know it. Alas, this fool of mine!
Glancing at Qi Jingyuan, who was drinking in a big bowl and eating meat but didn't have the slightest consciousness, I poured a bowl of tea for the old man who came over.
Fan Xiaotian recognized him and was about to see him, but was stopped. "No one knows that Grandpa is here today, so don't make a noise. The Great Elder took his grandson and waved his hand at him. Fan Xiaotian glanced at me before putting the cloth towel on his shoulder and leaving.
"I wonder what the Great Elder is asking us to entrust?" I sat upright, pressing my doubts back to my heart. How did he know we would take the commission?
The old man held the tea bowl, but did not drink it. Of course, the hat on his head that was large enough to cover all of his face was not taken off. "It's about the missing dragons, the old man gave thirty taels of gold and entrusted the two of them to help my family find them!"
"Old man, what are you doing to do more? Right now, the entire Wuxian Clan is looking for those dragons, but you are spending money to hire us, what are you hiding?" Qi Jingyuan, who was quietly enjoying the food, suddenly teased.
This obviously questioning tone and uneducated way of speaking made me almost squirt a sip of tea at him.
Fortunately, I suppressed that impulse in time, and although the fox was resolute, he was also careful and wise. If it weren't for someone he hated, he would never just say it like that. He hates Fanxiao Leng's grandfather!
I don't know why, but Qi Jingyuan knows it himself. Ever since he saw the dragon with only half a life left in the Fan family, he already hated the Fan family except for Fan Xiaoleng.
The mellow old man smiled wryly: "On the surface, they are looking for the dragons, but they are actually looking for the 'incriminating evidence' of the Fan family's guards and self-theft." Now except for the people of the Fan family, no one believes that the dragon group has really been robbed. ”
"It can't be said so absolutely, old man, we two husband and wife believe that the dragon group is not a thief from the Fanjia family. It's a pity that not all of what we said were fortunate enough to be believed by your patriarch. ”
Qi Jingyuan suddenly laughed gloatingly, he showed his disgust too obviously, and the Great Elder was embarrassed.
I coughed lightly, put down the tea bowl and said with internal force: "Fox, what are you doing to get along with money? We still have to earn money to buy a big boat back to Wolong Valley, have you forgotten?
"......" He was silent, but chewed harder on the boiled beef.
"Don't mind, old man, it's like this when my husband eats. Do you have any other clues about the disappearance of the dragons?"
