Chapter 2 Engagement

"Let's have a drink. Jiang Qiufang said casually, and by the way, he also carefully looked around the study that Jiu Wentian had cleaned up.

Jiu Wentian took out the tea from the drawer that Mr. Cao gave him, then found a bowl to put the tea in, and then poured the pot of hot water from the charcoal stove into it. As the saying goes, wine is full of respect, tea is full of deception, Jiuwentian naturally did not pour this bowl full of hot water, but poured seven points full of it.

After Jiang Qiufang took the bowl, he said, "Sister, I don't have any good tea, you can drink it." ”

"It's okay, Xiao Jiu's tea naturally has some skills, and it smells fragrant. Jiang Qiufang almost stuffed her nose into the bowl, but it seemed that she couldn't smell the fragrance of tea at all, because the sound she made when she inhaled had already told Jiu Wentian.

However, Jiu Wentian didn't say anything, he was already used to Jiang Qiufang's appearance, and sometimes Jiang Qiufang would always stay here and not leave. Jiu Wentian took out the herbal medicine book and continued to read it, now he can be said to be proficient in all the herbs in the old city, and can refine the pills according to his needs, not to mention major illnesses, anyway, minor illnesses can achieve the effect of "wonderful hand rejuvenation".

Jiang Qiufang took a sip of tea, even though the expression on his face was saying that this tea was very bitter, he still said: "Well, good tea, by the way, Xiao Jiu, what are you looking at?"

"It's nothing, it's still that herb, I'll finish reading it right away. Jiu Wentian said.

Jiang Qiufang showed a hint of evil expression when he heard this, and said with a smile: "You say, will there be that kind of pill that can make me more powerful after eating it?" ”

A trace of cold sweat suddenly broke out on Jiu Wentian's forehead, and now he may have experienced the feeling of a robot cat, and after wiping the sweat beads on his forehead, he said helplessly: "Sister, if I had that kind of thing, I would have earned him tens of thousands of gold, why should I drink this bitter and astringent tea in this kind of place?

Jiang Qiufang nodded, expressing his approval, and said, "Yes, why didn't I think of it, I heard Coach Ye say that there was just a branch hall of alchemists in the old city, do you want to try it inside?" I heard that you can make a lot of money." ”

Is it that kind of gang or something?

Jiu Wentian shook his head when he thought of this, and said, "Forget it, I don't want to get into it and make myself dizzy, so it's better to stay here and relax." I also understand why those heroes want to live in seclusion in the end. ”

"Why?" Jiang Qiufang's puzzled expression was waiting for Jiu Wentian to explain to her.

Jiu Wentian replied with some indifference: "Of course, it's because those heroes have seen through the red dust of this world. ”

"Cut," Jiang Qiufang rolled his eyes angrily and said disdainfully: "Don't say that you seem to be like those heroes, you can't even beat me." ”

Jiu Wentian was immediately unhappy when he heard this, pointed at Jiang Qiufang and said, "You, you, don't deceive people too much, believe it or not, I'll blast you out." ”

Jiang Qiufang put the bowl on the table and said with a serious expression: "I'll listen to you if you say one more thing." ”

"Yes, yes, yes," Jiu Wentian raised his hands to indicate that he had surrendered, "I was wrong sister." ”

Jiang Qiufang picked up her own bowl and drank tea by herself, but soon her expression was like a twitch again, and she said with satisfaction: "It's about the same, I forgive you." ”

As soon as the words fell, the door was pushed open, and the person who came in was Manager Cao. Manager Cao looked around the study and said, "The eldest lady is also here, I said why didn't I find you after looking around." ”

Jiang Qiufang took a sip of tea in front of Mr. Cao and said, "Mr. Cao, the tea here in Xiao Jiu is indeed very fragrant." ”

"This ......" Manager Cao glanced at Jiu Wentian, and then said with a smile: "This is the tea that is being drunk in the house, if the young lady is not satisfied, I will find someone to change it." But now there can be a top priority, and I also ask the young lady and the long secretary to move to the palace. ”

When Jiang Qiufang heard this, he asked, "What's the matter?"

Chief Manager Cao replied: "This matter is more important, let's talk while walking, the city lord has arrived." ”

On the way, Chief Manager Cao explained: "The envoy of the City Lord of Dragon City arrived just now, but he did not announce it in advance, but said that it is better not to publicize this matter. But this envoy was willing to say in front of everyone in the entire Ancient City Lord's Mansion, I had no choice but to come to *** you. ”

After hearing this, Jiu Wentian said, "Then, do I still need it?"

Manager Cao said with some embarrassment: "Jiu Shuguan might as well go and take a look, it's not in the way." ”

"Then I'd better not go. After Jiu Wentian finished speaking, he wanted to go back, but was pulled by Jiang Qiufang, Jiang Qiufang said: "You should go with me, I'm bored alone." ”

Jiu Wentian minded Manager Cao's gaze, so he quickly broke free of Jiang Qiufang's hand, and the three of them came to the hall together. There are not many people in the hall at this time, and the messenger's dress is also very wild, and a leopard print coat is directly draped outside, even laymen can see that this leopard print coat is made of leopard skin, which is enough to show his strength.

The messenger's left eye was still scratched, so he only looked at the three of them with his right eye open, and for some reason Jiu Wentian always felt that the messenger was staring at him. And when he stared at himself, Jiu Wentian felt that he was being stared at by a fierce beast.

Jiu Wentian shuddered, thinking to himself how could his identity be valued by him, and he still didn't want to humiliate himself.

Above the hall was Jiang Fuqing, and I saw Jiang Fuqing sitting on that chair, his right elbow propped up on the handle of the chair, and then put his face on his hand. This is completely a lethargic posture, but no one here dares to wake up Jiang Fuqing, because Jiang Fuqing is the city lord of this city.

After everyone came, Manager Cao walked to Jiang Fuqing's side, patted it a few times and said, "City Lord, everyone is here." ”

"Ah......" Jiang Fuqing straightened up when he heard this, and then raised his forehead and said: "This Dragon City envoy didn't notify me when he came, I knew that I wouldn't drink so much, and I haven't sobered up yet, alas, it's really a sin." ”

The envoy saw that Jiang Fuqing was a little sober, so he knelt down on one knee and said, "Lord City Lord, I am the envoy sent by the City Lord of Dragon City, Wei Shen. I heard that my daughter is about to hold a coming-of-age ceremony, so I came here to congratulate her, which is a little bit of my heart in Longcheng. ”

The two people behind Wei Shen took out a box from the three boxes, and the box was full of gold, and it seemed that the amount was not small. This opening is also eye-catching, Jiu Wentian calculated, this is definitely more than what he earned in Shenzhou before, I didn't expect that this coming-of-age ceremony could collect so much money, it is really a god-like high society.

Jiang Fuqing glanced at it, and then said, "Okay, I know, I accepted Long Lao's wishes, so what else do you have to say in front of so many people?"

Wei Shen smiled, then asked people to open the remaining two boxes, and said, "I came this time to ask the city lord for marriage. ”

"Huh?" Jiang Fuqing stood up directly, as if the wine had woken up at this moment, only to see Jiang Fuqing standing there laughing, and only after laughing did he say: "If I remember correctly, Long Lao has a total of four children, but he only got a son late, and the son is still babbling, you came to me to get engaged? Could it be that Long Lao came to give you an engagement?"

Wei Shen kowtowed and continued, "Please also ask the City Lord to listen to me." ”

"You say, I listen. Jiang Fuqing continued to sit down, but he just put his legs on the handle, and he didn't look like the lord of a city at all.

Wei Shen continued: "What the city lord said is good, but I didn't come to propose to the daughter, Long Cheng mainly chose a good husband for his second daughter, and by the way, he would enhance the friendship between the neighboring cities. If the Jiang City Lord agrees, the Dragon City Lord is willing to do the elixir business with the Ancient City. ”

After the two boxes were opened, Jiang Fuqing also clearly saw the contents inside, a box of shining jewels and a box of secretly reddening pills. Jiu Wentian recognized it at a glance, that box of pills was a third-grade lower rank, his current level could be said to be barely able to reach this level, but he couldn't achieve mass production, this box of pills was really very valuable.

Now Jiu Wentian also had a question in his heart, this box of pills can buy a city, why should he give it to the old city?

Jiang Fuqing said with a happy face: "Oh?"

Wei also laughed when he saw this, and said, "The Dragon City Lord knows that the Ancient City lacks the medicinal materials and talents needed for alchemy, and these Dragon City Lords are willing to provide them for the sake of harmony and stability between the two cities. ”

"Okay," Jiang Cheng said after a pause: "Don't sell it, you say, let me see who is worthy of such a big dowry." ”

Wei saw that the effect was working, and he didn't want to continue to say that Longcheng could give him any benefits, but looked directly at Jiu Wentian and said, "Longcheng wants this Jiu Gongzi to marry our second princess and move to our Dragon City. ”

Jiang Fuqing also looked at Jiu Wentian, and said with some laughter: "He, Elder Long made these conditions for him, are you joking with me?"

"Then the Dragon City Lord has to joke with me. Wei Shen snorted and said.

In an instant, there was a deathly silence in the hall, everyone was looking at Jiu Wentian, even Jiu Wentian wanted to find a mirror to look at his appearance, he was indeed not outstanding, how could he be worthy of the second princess of Dragon City? To say that Jiang Qiufang was worth this, he was willing to believe it, but his words were too outrageous.

Jiang Qiufang pinched the flesh on Jiu Wentian's belly, and asked in a low voice, "Did you give that second princess some kind of ecstasy?"
