Chapter 28: Gain and Loss
As soon as Lin suddenly walked into the money village, he bowed his hand respectfully to the shopkeeper: "Old shopkeeper, I'm looking for you to be in charge." ”
Lai looked at her for a while, and then nodded and said, "Come with the old man!" After the man finished speaking, he led her to the second floor of the Xianghe Building, pointed to the farthest one, and said, "Please go in!" ”
Lin suddenly looked around, Xianghe Mansion was really different, she had only heard those ladies mention, this was not only a place for the rich to rest in their leisure, but also an important place for the nobles to gather intelligence, she guessed that it might be invested and built by a royal noble.
Tut, look at the white jade porcelain vase placed in the center of the hall, the famous painting pasted in the center of the staircase, and the guests sitting on mahogany chairs holding cups from the Changsha kiln in their hands.
Just as Lin was thinking about her dream of making a fortune with joy, a casual voice interrupted her thoughts: "Brother Hu, I don't know why I'm so focused?" ”
In the house, Gao Lian was dressed in a green Yunxiang talisman bat pattern dress, with a jade belt embroidered with green bamboo tied around his waist, decorated with a white jade, his fair and handsome face was hidden in the moonlight, looking extremely handsome, his eyes were slightly raised, and he was lazy to lean on the couch and turn over the books in his hands
Lin suddenly swallowed his saliva, walked up to him, lowered his head and muttered, "No, it's nothing." "With your hands on your side, you can be as honest as you look.
Gao Lian slowly took the book in his hand, his eyes shone from under his eyelashes, black and deep, he glanced at it lightly, his eyes were dripping and turned to Lin Ran, then he withdrew his gaze, and said lightly: "I heard that you didn't ask for the jade plate." ”
Hey, how did it get to his ears so quickly? Sure enough, this person didn't have any good intentions at all, and planted his eyeliner around him, maybe he also deliberately brought her over this time? The original happiness was swept away under his temptation, she lowered her head, and said with her thoughts: "The jade plate is too big and eye-catching." ”
"Oh, is it? But I remember when you got it, you were very happy. Gao Lian glanced at her, noticing her cautious gaze, and the edge of his mouth curled slightly, "Since you know there is a trap, why do you want to come?" ”
Hmph, you didn't ask me to come here yet? Lin suddenly sneered coldly in her heart, she knew that this person was intentional that time, he would be so good and give her a valuable item for nothing? But this time for seven hundred taels, she has to give it a try.
Lin suddenly thought about it, straightened his chest and said: "This is what I got from winning the son, so I have a clear conscience about this money, not to mention that the jade plate was not my income in the first place, as the so-called wealth and disaster, why bother with it if it is not mine?" ”
"I can't think of a little one, but I have sharp teeth." Gao Lian's eyes narrowed slightly, and his voice revealed a bit deep, "Are you not afraid that I will set up a game this time?" ”
"Even if it is the Longtan Tiger's Den, Hu has to break through, I believe that Gongzi will not be a stingy person! The ancients had clouds, only villains and women are difficult to raise, Hu was originally a villain, and of course he attached great importance to money. ”
Gao Lian saw that it was really the first time that someone could show the concept of money naked, the corners of his mouth were tightened, pulled into a straight line, slowly closed his eyes, and suddenly opened them slowly, and his black and bright eyes were already clear.
"Hu Fei!"
"Yes, Childe." Lin suddenly looked at him cautiously, with a wary look.
Gao Lian stroked his forehead, looked at her with a smile and asked, "I heard that Brother Hu's mother is sick and needs money urgently, since she came, why didn't you ask me for more?" ”
What he said made people uncomfortable to hear.
Lin suddenly raised her head, and met Gao Lian's smile, that smile, no matter how she looked at it, it looked like a mockery.
Gao Lian lowered his head, the corners of his lips raised slightly, and waited for her answer casually.
Inexplicably, a nameless fire sparked in Lin Ranran's heart.
She suppressed the anger in her heart, took a deep breath and said: "As the saying goes: Do what you have and don't want to, and don't do it to others. Son, are you still stingy with this money? ”
She sneered at each other, hooked the corners of her lips with the same mockery, and gave him dozens of middle fingers in her heart.
But as soon as these words came out, she regretted it a little, after all, she was short and soft-mouthed, obviously the other party was just a simple question, how could she compete like she had eaten gunpowder.
She wasn't like this when she used to do public relations, why did she lose her temper when she met the man in front of her.
There was silence for a while, and after a while, Gao Lian's voice came: "Xiao'er knows a lot!" ”
This is obviously a **naked mockery, Lin suddenly raised his head and glared at him fiercely.
In her clear eyes, Gao Lian waved his hand lazily, and said lightly to the complete beside her: "There is filial piety here, just as she wishes!" Quan came up with a stack of money tickets.
Lin suddenly felt ecstatic in her heart, her eyes flashed with brilliance, although she tried her best to suppress the corners of her mouth, but her trembling hands betrayed her emotions, as if she could see that gold was beckoning to her.
Gao Lian looked at her quietly, smiled, and said in a beautiful and clear voice: "Give her seven hundred taels!" ”
Seven hundred taels is not seven hundred taels of gold
Lin was dumbfounded for a moment, his eyes widened and he said angrily: "No, isn't it seven hundred taels of gold?" "It's too noticeable, she's a fool.
Gao Lian smiled: "The so-called: insatiable desires and excessive demands, you yourself just said that I won't give it to you, and don't give it to others, since you have such a "mind", why don't I fulfill you?" Lin was choked with blood, and when she walked downstairs, she looked at the seven money tickets in her hand in a daze, and held it for a long time, only to find that she was put on a table, and scolded fiercely: "Abominable man!" ”
Gao Lian, who was standing on the second floor, stared at Lin Ran, who was stunned, and laughter gently overflowed from the corners of his mouth.
Gradually, his laughter became louder and louder, hearty and cheerful, not as plain as a smile.
Standing aside and hearing the laughter of the master, he shook his head, looked at Lin Ran standing downstairs with sympathy, and secretly thought: This kid loves money very much, no wonder he was teased by the son, it's really sad and pitiful.
At this time, Lin suddenly took the silver ticket in his hand and climbed back into the house in frustration, this is good, only seven hundred taels, originally thought that there would be a reward of gold, but now it suddenly fell short, and her heart was very uncomfortable, originally she planned to wait for the money, she would take her mother and younger brother to another disposal room, no need to look at people in a low voice here, now it's good, the difference between seven hundred taels and seven hundred taels of gold is very big, how can she not be annoyed.
Lin suddenly pursed her lips and decided to put things aside, she didn't believe it, with her ability, she was afraid that she wouldn't be able to make money.
The next day, Lu Liu fetched water to freshen up Lin Ranran, and was surprised to see her haggard face: "Miss, what's wrong with you, why is your face so white?" ”
"What are you doing, all the fuss you make early in the morning!" Lin suddenly glared at her, and pulled his eyelids at the bronze mirror, well, the dark circles under his eyes are indeed very heavy, and he quietly asked his mother for two eggs later.
"Miss, I heard that people from Prince Yi's Mansion came to discuss marriage today." Green Willow combed her hair and gossip.
"Oh? Is it? Lin Ran's eyes suddenly lit up, and there was something fun again!
