Chapter 32: The Disaster of the Green Building
"Who, this is! I'll wait for the feast, what are you mixing in! β
"You come with meβ" Li Chen held the bridge tightly. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Qiaoxi refused to get up, struggling hard, "You let go, ouch, it hurts, it hurts, it hurts......" The other party's strength was really great, and tears rolled down his beautiful face, looking aggrieved.
Someone stepped forward to pull Li Chen and pulled his hand away. Who knew that Qiaoxi was unstable, crashed into several cases, and waved his hand...... happened to come across the jade bracelet on the case......
Jingle Bell -
A crisp sound came.
Hearing this, everyone at the banquet was stunned.
Two pieces of crystal clear jade lay on the ground.
"Qiaoxi, go."
"Okay, you are a reckless man, you actually dropped the jade bracelet that Liu Lang gave to the lady of Qiaoxi." Someone stood up and pointed at Li Chen.
"This jade bracelet is worth a lot of money, I specially bought it from Hu Shang at a high price, and the lady of Qiaoxi was dropped by you before she could wear it."
"This man is uncultivated and reckless, and he must be called for reparation."
"Yes!"
"Compensation!"
Seeing this, Jing Ci secretly screamed in his heart, so he hurriedly stepped forward, "My eldest nephew unfortunately missed, please forgive me." β
"If you forgive me, you want to deny it?"
"Where did you get two scoundrels!"
"Ouch, hey, all Lang Jun dissipate your anger, don't frighten our family Qiaoxi." The old bustard hurriedly stepped forward and helped the men one by one, for fear that they would smash things in anger, "I see...... Li Langjun, this jade bracelet was specially bought by Liu Lang at a high price and given to Qiaoxi, and before you brought the bracelet, you dropped this treasure, do you see if it is ......?"
"Isn't it just a bracelet, will you not be able to afford it?" Li Chen snorted coldly.
"This bracelet is twenty gold."
"Twenty gold?" Jing Ci's eyes widened, what jade is so expensive?
"For less money, don't even think about stepping out of this yard for half a step!" The other party held his head high and became arrogant.
Jing Ci and Li Chen quickly glanced at each other.
A glance made it clear that neither of them had that much money.
"That...... My eldest nephew was indeed an unintentional mistake, besides, he just dropped the jade bracelet indirectly, no matter how you say it, he shouldn't take full responsibility, isn't it......" Jing Ci tried to intercede, and now that he has the upper hand, he naturally wants to show weakness.
"He's the main culprit! Don't be blind! β
"That's it! Don't try to deny it! β
"Unfortunately, we didn't bring so much money when we went out today, don't worry, we will never deny the compensation, this Liu Lang see if we can send the money to your mansion in a few days?"
"No! Don't be accommodating if you have swept away our interest today! β
The crowd was aggressive, and they wanted to let out a bad breath.
Jing Ci frowned, he really had a big brain, Li Chen was a big bane, and he didn't stop causing trouble.
"Liu Lang." Qiaoxi, who was standing on the side, finally spoke, "Since Liu Lang gave this bracelet to the slave family, whether Li Lang will compensate or not is up to the slave family?" β
"Qiaoxi lady wants to let this person go, can't you?" Liu Lang grimaced.
"No, it's not......," Qiao Xi forced a smile, "This incident is caused by a dispute between Li Lang and the slave family, it stands to reason...... The responsibility should be shared between the slave family and Li Lang, since Liu Lang gave it to the slave family, can it ...... Let Li Lang lose only half of the money? Qiaoxi opened his innocent water-cut eyes, a little cowardly, wanting to intercede but not daring to be blatant.
"Hmph, half the money? Did you pick up Liu's money? Liu Lang was very angry when he saw that Qiaoxi intended to defend it.
"Isn't it just twenty gold, and the master will pay you back." Li Chen let it go, the eldest husband doesn't need the little lady to intercede.
Jing Ci immediately glared at him and popped out from between his teeth, "Can you conjure twenty gold?" β
Qiaoxi on the side also hurriedly glanced at him.
Li Chen's face was quite unbearable, and he leaned into Jing Ci's ear and whispered: "I can only ...... Trouble the fourth aunt to go back to the house to get money, I'm waiting here. β
"Why am I going home?" Jing words are displeased. She doesn't have so much money to squander this kid, and there is a lot of trouble when she goes back, in case she is detained by Yang Shouyan or the old lady to interrogate this and that, she will suffer again. Li Chen made his own trouble, so she didn't help him wipe his ass.
"Then, I'll go back! You're just going to have to hold on here. β
Jing Ci heard the words and nodded decisively.
Li Chen looked at Jing Ci's reaction, paused, and looked embarrassed, "It's better for you to go back, I'll ...... with my mother."
"I don't care what you do with your mother." Jing Ci is none of his business.
"Alas!" Li Chen sighed, and finally had no choice but to say the little abacus in his heart, "Actually, today I want to ask the fourth aunt to help me redeem my Qiaoxi...... If I go back to my mother and my mother knows about Qiaoxi, I am afraid that she will not let me take her back if she redeems her in the future. But you are different, the Wang family business was grand in the past, and you must be able to pay for this money. β
"Okay, you Li Chen, so enthusiastically invited me to dinner, it turned out that you wanted me to redeem people!" Jing Ci was quite annoyed and chattered.
"I really can't make this decision, I will definitely pay you back the money, fourth aunt, you spend a lot of money, don't worry about these money with me?"
Li Chen turned out to be obedient?
She couldn't laugh or cry.
"What are you muttering!" The person next to him urged impatiently, "Is this money a loss or not?" Don't pay us yamen! β
"He's going home to get the money now," Jing Ci pointed to Li Chen and said to everyone, "I'll stay as a hostage." β
"Heh, how much are you worth?" The other party is disdainful.
"That's it. Twenty gold can be delivered in two hours. β
Qiao Xi stepped forward cowardly and said coquettishly, "Please also ask Liu Lang to believe them, the slave family sees this lady as an official lady, and it is more useful to leave her than Li Lang." She glanced at Jing Zi, a woman's intuition is always the most accurate, not to mention that she lives in this kind of place, and no one knows how to know people better than people like them.
The other party stared at Jing Ci suspiciously, and suddenly realized.
"So it's a woman?"
"A woman came to such a place!"
"What a system!"
Jing Ci was right, "Now is not the time for you to criticize me for abiding by the rules, and say that you don't agree with me staying?" β
"Done!" Liu Lang responded loudly.
Li Chen looked at Jing Ci with a pitiful face, hoping that Jing Ci would change his mind.
"What are you doing? Go on. β
Li Chen couldn't do anything, hesitated for a while, and had to turn around and go home.
The rest of the people were waiting in the courtyard.
β¦β¦β¦β¦
After a while, autumn rain gradually began to fall in the sky.
Everyone hurriedly hid in the corridor, and the rain became heavier and heavier......
"It's raining too much." One of them shook off his sleeves, which were wet from the rain outside, and looked distressed.
"The slave family can't stop seeing this rain for a while, you Lang Jun should go to the lobby and wait, I will ask the maid to cook some ginger soup for Lang Jun to ward off the cold." Qiaoxi smiled and persuaded him.
Sit down and rest, time flies. The corners of Jing Ci's mouth twitched, heh, it seems that Qiaoxi, who that kid is worried about, still has some friendship with him.
"Keep an eye on this person, don't let him slip away!" Everyone has not forgotten the "hostages" who stood aside and enjoyed the rain.
Jing Ci glanced at the person who spoke in vain, and took the lead in walking towards the lobby.
Everyone followed closely and set off one after another.
Inside the lobby.
The music is smart, and the singing and dancing are leveling.
Another person was having a feast.
In the three or five kabukis, a woman with a half-covered face waving her long sleeves and a graceful posture, while the rest of the people are holding the pipa, playing the gonghou, and blowing the flute, and the music complements each other and dances gracefully.
The snow is white in spring, and the mountains are flowing water.
The music is wonderful, and everyone is amazed.
Jing Ci turned his head to look at the banquet, but there were only two people seated.
One person has deep eyes and a high nose bridge, and he is a Hu person.
The other person has angular facial features, bright eyes, and is dressed in a silk robe, with a smooth jade pendant tied around his waist.
Jing Ci was stunned, it was him.
She thought ...... They won't see each other again.
