"Second grandfather?!" Lan Geng exclaimed. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
The man raised his hand and saluted: "Miss Xue San is very capable." ā
"Don't dare to be it, the old lady has won the award. Xue Ying respectfully bowed to the juniors, "The juniors are not well entertained, I hope you will forgive me." ā
The old lady looked at Lan Geng, then turned to Xue Ying, and sighed: "The future is terrifying." "Lan Geng is the pride of the Lan family, since he was a child, he has shown the demeanor of a generation, all the people in the family have high hopes for him, and he has always been outstanding, resourceful, smart and calm, never disappointed the family, I didn't expect to be planted on a little girl today.
It's not that Lan Geng isn't good enough, but that the little girl in front of her is really not like a little girl. Sometimes calm, sometimes jumpy, sometimes gloomy, sometimes naughty, the last moment it was still a dignified and polite young lady, and in an instant it was replaced with a rogue face, and even he, an old man, could hardly grasp her true temperament.
Lan Geng knew that he was in trouble, so he obediently lowered his head and made no sound.
The old lady went over to untie the rope on his body and patted him on the shoulder: "You have done well and badly in this matter, after you go back, you will reflect slowly, and you can change your mistakes, you are a real man." ā
"Yes. ā
"You don't have to blame yourself too much, if anything happens, the Lan family will take care of it for you, and there won't be any chaos. On the surface, these words were comforting Lan Geng, but they were actually expressing their attitude towards Xue Ying.
Xue Ying smiled slightly: "Old lady, I hope to cooperate with you with a very sincere heart." As you can see, I'm just a helpless orphan girl, if I have the opportunity to seek a bigger backer, I can't ask for it, as long as the benefits are big enough, I have no reason not to cooperate. And if you want to get rid of me, it's easy. Work with me, you have the upper hand, why not?"
When necessary, show weakness to others, and strive for practical interests instead of fighting for face. The old lady glanced at Lan Geng, and Lan Geng nodded to show that it was clear - if Lan Geng, the pride of the sky, had any shortcomings, it was that he had never encountered real setbacks since he was a child, and he was lacking in bending and stretching, and he needed to learn from Xue Ying.
"The inscription is a big deal, and we need to go back and ask the head of the house. ā
"Okay, then I'll wait for the good news from the two of you. ā
ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦
After listening to Xue Ying's statement, Xi Xi shook his head and said, "You actually dare to threaten the Lan family, are you thinking that your life is too long?"
"Then Lan Geng has used the people in Zhuangzi to threaten me, what else can I do? I also want to be safe with them, but the big knife of the other people is already hanging above my head, it is better to fight and gamble than to sit back and wait for death, right?" Xue Ying said vigorously.
"Do you think the Lan family will agree to your conditions?"
"If you don't agree, it's miserable. The current situation is that either the two sides cooperate, or the other party will kill us, I hope God will bless us, right?" Xue Ying made a gesture of worship.
"Can you keep a back?"
Xue Ying smiled and didn't speak.
"But I don't understand, why do you insist on seeing the full text of the inscription that the Lan family wants to translate before deciding whether to help them......?
Xue Ying sighed: "I was careless and accidentally exposed this, otherwise the situation would not have become so passive." ā
"If I can think of this, the old lady must think of it too. In other words, the cooperation between the two of you has nothing to do with the "Inscription Translation", but the Lan family exchanged a river god wooden plaque for you to help them translate the inscription. Xi Xi frowned slightly, "Why didn't they just arrest you or continue to threaten you with people from other villages?"
"They have to go back to find out if there is any residual poison on Lan Geng's body, right? What if there is still poison in his body and they can't solve it? Exchange the lives of my subordinates or Jiuquan Beizhuang for Lan Geng's life, they are not willing to do this kind of loss-making business!"
"Then did you poison Lan Geng?"
"It's down!"
Xi Xi didn't know what to say: "The old lady has such a good temper, why didn't he strangle you on the spot!" paused, "Where did you get the poison?"
"I took it in the temple of thanksgiving piety. Master Mingtu said that if anyone dared to bully me, he would retaliate and go back, so he gave me a lot of good things. Xue Ying smiled.
Xi Xi's head hurt even more: "You are not normal, how can you worship the master who is not normal than you!"
Xue Ying's inference from the past is good, the old lady has indeed realized that Xue Ying may have recognized the inscription herself, and no matter what the reason is, leaving Xue Qi to cooperate directly with Xue Ying, the chance of this secret leak has been reduced by more than half, so at present, it is safer to cooperate with Xue Ying than the idea of playing the "Inscription Translation".
"Second grandfather, Xue Ying must know someone who can understand the inscription, otherwise...... Otherwise, she recognized the words. If she were to see the inscription in our house directly, wouldn't she know everything?"
"Well, so in your opinion, should we work with her?"
"This ......" Lan Geng hesitated.
The old lady smiled slightly: "I lost the battle today, and I am not convinced, right?"
"Today is Geng'er's carelessness, and it is a good thing to eat this lesson. I can see that Miss Xue San is already merciful. ā
"Not necessarily. The old lady picked up Lan Geng's wrist and checked the pulse, and after a while, he let go of his hand and sighed.
Lan Geng was suddenly a little uneasy: "Second grandfather, is this toxicity difficult to solve?"
The old lady didn't answer directly: "With your understanding of Miss Xue San, what kind of poison do you think she will do?"
Lan Geng thought for a while: "It's hard to solve, but it won't hinder me too much." ā
The old lady nodded: "This girl acts very measuredly, just right to leave herself room for self-preservation, but she will not offend people too much, and she is cheerful but thoughtful." ā
Lan Geng heard the clue from his tone: "It seems that you are more inclined to cooperate with her?"
"We are old, and your parents are not in good health, and it won't be a few years before the burden of the Lan family will fall on you. This Miss Xue San is about the same age as you, and if you can become a partner, it will be a lifelong help. It's better for you to have one more friend like that than one more enemy like that. However, it depends mainly on your opinion. ā
This time, Lan Geng was silent for a long, long time, and finally, he finally made up his mind: "I want to cooperate with her." ā
"But are you sure you can hold her down?"
"To cooperate with her, you only need to be sincere, you don't need to suppress. Lan Geng is full of confidence.
"Yiyi ruined her appearance, Green Jade almost killed her, and you ruined the engagement, are you sure she won't mind?"
Lan Geng shook his head: "As long as she becomes a partner, all the previous grievances will be written off - I believe she can do this." ā
