Chapter Seventy-Nine: Duan San is out of the horse
Xi Cui has also been waiting for this guy to look at her side, the person she personally selected, what she wants to see now is this person's real ability to observe words and emotions and adapt to changes. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ο½iqugeγ ο½ο½fo
The guy cast a look for help, Xi Cui nodded with a smile, waved his hand, and signaled that he could go. The guy suddenly felt like he had been amnestied, and hurriedly bent down to leave, "The little one is back, our shopkeeper said, he will naturally discuss the rest of the things with Rui Niang in person, and we will not send someone to the door in Linlang Pavilion, please ask Miss Xi Cui to tell Rui Niang, our shopkeeper will be waiting in the shop at any time." β
Xi Cui nodded with satisfaction and watched the guy turn around and leave. These words dealt with it well, not only helped her keep the secret of the identity of the big shopkeeper, but also raised her status to a high place, giving Nangong Yufeng, his fiancΓ©e, enough face, and naturally taking care of Nangong Yufeng's face.
Sure enough, after saying these few words, Nangong Yufeng's face was much better. He thought about it, it was normal for Xi Cui to know some people with low status in and out before, but now it is different, although those people know her name, they also call her a girl, and some things also know the avoidance of identity, any change is not something that can be done overnight, always give Xi Cui some time, and also give some time to the people around her.
Seeing that his face had softened, Xi Cui tentatively approached the boxes, carefully groping for the delicate boxes, "These are all brought from Linlang Pavilion?" So much, all for me? β
Xi Cui's words were deliberate, she knew in her heart that Nangong Yufeng's original intention was to take more and let her pick what she liked, and send the rest back. But she is not as good as he wants, you love face as an uncle but you are too lazy to think about it, so you want to make women happy? This girl will make you feel painful!
Hearing her ask, Nangong Yufeng was speechless. To tell you the truth, it's too shameless, it seems that I can't afford to give so many gifts, let's say yes, I spent the money in vain, not to mention, I still have no way to know what Xi Cui likes, and I just want to pick what she likes to send in the future.
Xiao Yi on the side looked at Nangong Yufeng with disdain, this little bit of caution dared to appear on Xi Cui's side, he was really a brainless person! I didn't send jewelry or anything to my heart, and I dared to make such a rich move, is Xi Cui really a kind and simple little girl?
Finally, Nangong Yufeng nodded, gritted his teeth and said, "Well, it's all for you......"
"Why are you sending something?" Xi Cui opened the box and took it out one by one to take a closer look, "Tut-tut, they are all top-grade, the white fat man in Linlang Pavilion really regards you as a big customer, I'm afraid these objects are his private collection at the bottom of the box, right?" You didn't ask what the price was, did you? Although I don't like these things very much, but this is the first time you have given me something, and I can't refuse you in our current relationship, so I'll ask the third brother to take it to my private vault later. After looking at a few more pieces and closing the box, he looked at Nangong Yufeng with a meaningful face, "There is no need to be so expensive to give me things in the future, if we become close to you, it will be mine, and I feel distressed to pull it out so generously." The point is to spend so much money to buy back a bunch of things that I don't really like, it's really not worth it, don't you say? Xi Cui watched Nangong Yufeng's face become more and more stiff, and smiled secretly in his heart. It's good, I want you to regret it, either find a way to end this marriage, or accept my Xi Cui's way of getting along.
With Xi Cui's current responsibilities and her carefully brewed plan, even if she marries Nangong Yufeng, she will never be like other women, and she will be a good wife and mother without leaving home after marriage, and everything will be a good wife and mother with him Nangong Yufeng as the greatest. She doesn't want to and can't live in the inner house, if Nangong Yufeng just wants her to be his appendage, then she can only find a way to refuse, and if she can't refuse, let him change. It is not possible to reason with someone like Nangong Yufeng, Xi Cui can only force him to compromise.
"Don't you like it all?" To be honest, the saddest thing in Nangong Yufeng's heart was not how much money was spent, but that Xi Cui actually said that he didn't like it so directly. Didn't Xi Yunjian also give her a pearl hairpin? "What about the one that Xi Yunjian gave you? Don't you like it either? β
"No, that's what I like." Xi Cui responded with a smile, his eyes never dodged and escaped, since he decided to face something, Xi Cui did not allow himself to dodge in the slightest, whether it was people or things. "What I like is not the pearl hairpin, but the heart of the person who sent the pearl hairpin. I believe that Xi Yunjian took a lot of thought when choosing the pearl hairpin, and he will be very attentive to everyone who wants to treat him sincerely. This kind of heart should be respected, not just for any of my women, but we often value the heart hidden behind the gift. β
Nangong Yufeng was about to open his mouth to explain when he was interrupted by Xi Cui, "Don't say that you are also bothered, there is no point in arguing with reason." You can treat me so casually the first time you give me a gift, then what kind of life I will really live with you in the future can be imagined, Nangong Yufeng, you may like me a little, but I am just a flower bone that has unexpectedly entered your eyes for you, you are in a hurry to put me in your own vase to collect, and you don't even want others to covet half a point. You think that giving me a delicate and precious vase is giving me the best care, but you will not give me enough respect, respect as a living being. Even a flower she needs sunlight, rain and soil to take root, and a vase made of gold can only wither and wither. All I want is to live well, even if I endure the wind and sun alone in the wilderness, if you forcibly possess me in your way, then you will never see my beautiful bloom, and you can only guard me day after day withering and withering...... What I'm talking about, go back and think about it, it's good for you and me......"
This was the first time Xi Cui had spoken to Nangong Yufeng so solemnly, although Nangong Yufeng didn't understand it too well, he still felt that he should think about it and understand that it was important for them to understand this.
Not long after Nangong Yufeng left, Duan San came over and put things in.
Huan Huanxi came back in the evening and told Xi Cui what they had found. Linglong's money was borrowed from the owner of an underground bank that Liu Qian had a good relationship with before, this person was nicknamed Qian Chuanzi, who started from a casino, and now does business between underground money banks and casinos. There is very little mortgage to borrow money from him, but the interest is very high, and the money string is not afraid that others will not repay the debt, and his debt collection method is well-known in the circle, and it is modest to say that he is ruthless. It is said that this person knows both black and white, and he still has a few lives in his hands, and everyone knows that he did it, but there is no evidence, so he can only be allowed to go unpunished.
But this money string borrowed Linglong money without any interest, and there was no mortgage, saying that it was to see Liu Qian's face, but Qian Chuanzi was famous for recognizing money and not people, and Liu Qian didn't have that much face. So I'm afraid there is something else hidden in this matter, but unfortunately I can't find out for the time being. There is also this matter Liu Chen doesn't seem to know, he was sent by the emperor to the southwest a few days ago to give the emperor's commendation decree to the Marquis of Pingnan, before leaving Linglong was very hidden, Linglong's actions were only let go after he left, it was obvious that she was deliberately avoiding Liu Chen.
In addition, the real name of Qian Chuanzi has not been found anything, only his surname is Qian, which makes him a good knife technique.
Hearing this, Duan San suddenly spoke, "Have you seen Qian Kuanzi himself?" Do you know what are the characteristics of his body and physiognomy? Duan San is asking Huan Huan to rejoice.
Huan Huan Xi shook his head, Xi Xi suddenly remembered something, and said carefully, "This money string himself rarely shows up, I only heard that he has first-class gambling skills, and he likes to wear red underwear when gambling." β
"Humph! It's a good money string, and I really found a good name for myself! I think I know who he is. Duan San smiled coldly and said to Xi Cui, "I'll go to meet him tonight, what the girl wants him to do, I tell him to do it." β
"Oh? The third brother actually has such a ability? Could it be that you don't know this money string? Xi Cui and Huan Huanxi glanced at each other and looked at Duan San with a smile.
Duan San didn't hide it, and said bluntly, "If I guessed correctly, this money string should be my old friend." This person is also surnamed Qian, called Qian Yukun, who makes a good knife, and has been a dart master in my dart game for a period of time, and his kung fu is good and he is a material that can be made. It's a pity that I'm greedy for gambling, and I have crooked thoughts, and I stole the things on my dart car for a woman's guard, and I almost didn't call the dart head to death, but fortunately I pleaded to leave a life, and then there was no news. Later, we learned that the woman was a liar after all, and had been eyeing our dart game for a long time, approaching him just to take advantage of him. However, I heard that the woman also died in the end, and it is unknown how she died. Unexpectedly, Qian Yukun, who had disappeared for so many years, had been mixing in the capital as a money skewer. β
"Third brother, don't be too happy, but based on your surname and weapons, you can't conclude that Qian Chuanzi is Qian Yukun, in case you don't rush forward, wouldn't it be a loss?" Xi Cui thinks it's better to investigate again, and first find out who the money string is, if the three guesses are wrong, maybe they will suffer.
"Of course, I can't conclude that he is Qian Yukun from these two things, what makes me sure of his identity is a red underwear, this Qian Yukun is a good gambler, often pulls a group of dart masters to play a few handfuls, and he wins more and loses less every time, and then he once drank too much and secretly told me that as long as he goes to gamble, he will wear a red underwear, red prosperity, and he can win." Duan San's eyes were shining when he said this Qian Yukun, as if he was saying something that made him happy, it can be seen that this Qian Yukun had a good relationship with him before, but now he is entangled with Linglong, even if he has had a relationship with Duan San before, but no one can predict how Qian Yukun will change if he hasn't seen him for many years.
Xi Cui felt that Duan San still couldn't go like this. "Third brother, do you know what we are doing this time to find money skewers?" After so many things, Duan San should also know how to be flexible, right? Xi Cui didn't plan to tell him directly, she wanted to see if he could come back to his senses on his own.
Of course, it's to figure out what's going on between him and Linglong...... "That's right, Linglong!" Qian Yukun is now related to the woman Linglong, he still runs a casino and a money village, and now he has also become a character in this area, and now Qian Yukun is afraid that he is no longer the Qian Yukun who ran darts with him in the past, right?
Seeing that he calmed down, Xi Cui finally breathed a sigh of relief, fortunately, Duan San, your brother reacted so quickly, if you really don't say anything and let you look for it, maybe something will go wrong!
Huan Huan glanced at Duan San, "Xi Cui, you shouldn't wake him up, so that he rushed over to eat a meal in a daze, and knew that he would have to bring his brain with him before going out in the future!" β
"Hey, I said you, how ...... you woman?" Duan San's eyes were as big as bull's eyes, but Huanhuan was disdainful, but he couldn't help it, firstly, now they are their own people, secondly, her body is not beaten at all, the first time he didn't use much force to let her hang a bandage for a month, and the most important thing is that he Duan San is a good man and does not fight with a woman!
"Okay, you guys just don't make a fuss and get down to business." Xi Cui leaned forward, stood between them, and glanced at each of them, "Third brother, you still have to go to him, but you can't run over unprepared, and you can't directly ask him about his relationship with Linglong when you see him, it's best to catch up with him first, and then slowly probe his tone." β
"Tell him to go? Stop it! With his temperament, people will come out of his bottom in three or two sentences, and when I see it, it's not him who goes to visit others but is probed by others, right? Huanhuan poured three cold water again.
This time, there is no need for Xi Cui to say that Duan San directly refuted, "You also know that my temperament is like this, I think that Qian Yukun will definitely think that if I talk like you, it will make him even more suspicious, and things will not be easy to handle." I should have deliberately let him out of the bottom so that he could let his guard down, how do you know I can't get anything out? β
Huanhuan: "......"
Xi Cui lowered his head and smiled, Duan San's mouth was much more clever during this time, could it be that he was all trained by Huanhuan? Looks like he still has a lot of potential.
"Okay, it's decided, third brother, you go. But you have to be on guard. Xi Cui looked at Huanhuan's reluctance, and it was clear that he didn't want Duan San to go alone, so he fixed his mind, "But I'm still not at ease with you alone, it's better to ask Huanhuan to hide quietly in the dark, in case you can't resist, it's good to have a response." Huanhuan's face was obviously happy, but Duan San looked unwilling.
Xi Cui shook his head, didn't look at Duan San's sluggish appearance, and said in his heart, Third Brother, your old tree should have bloomed a long time ago, but why didn't you know how to open it?
In the end, he pulled Huanhuan and carefully admonished them before letting them leave.
The cook had already prepared dinner, Rui Niang came over with the child in her arms and beckoned them over to eat, but Duan San and Huanhuan went out directly.
Besides, this Qian Chuanzi is indeed the Qian Yukun in Duan San's mouth, but he was able to survive but was greatly stimulated after knowing the truth, killed the woman by mistake, and fled from the southwest to the capital in order to avoid the pursuit of the government. In desperation, he robbed some silver taels and killed all sides in the casino, and his reputation was booming. Later, with a good skill and ruthlessness that is not afraid of death, he gradually made some famous names, had people under his hands, and set up a casino, and then began to do underground money trading.
I know Linglong because of Liu Qian, it is said that after the Liu family was kicked out of the Wang family, Liu Qian was pampered and treated so well, and he didn't know how to make a living with his own hands. After a long day of wandering into a casino brothel, he finally went to Qian Kuanzi to borrow money, but Qian Kuanzi didn't know what happened to Wang and Liu's families, so he lent the money out without thinking about it. But where does Liu Qian have the money to pay back? So after the expiration, he simply hid, and Qian Chuanzi found Linglong. Linglong was half angry after knowing what happened, but soon she thought of a countermeasure, she told Qian Chuanzi that she had a way to return to the Wang family, and as long as she returned to the Wang family, she would be able to marry Wang Shaoyan smoothly, even if she was only a concubine at that time, there was a way to hold the Wang family's middle feed in her hands, and then everything in the Wang family would be hers, were you afraid that she would not be able to repay the money?
Qian Chuanzi didn't believe it at first, but Linglong said that she only needed a month, and if she couldn't enter the Wang family smoothly after a month, then he Qian Chuanzi could naturally come to her again to ask for money, and when the time came, she would sell her to the brothel in the Qinglou to pay off the debt, and she had no complaints, and signed a deed of sale with him at that time.
Qian Chuanzi calculated the accounts, and felt that it was nothing more than a month, and she couldn't run away if she signed the deed of sale, and the return at that time was not a small amount, and this transaction was not a loss. So he agreed to Linglong, but he didn't expect that in less than a month, Linglong became the sister of General Sipin, and she really lived in the Wang family. At this time, he was already impressed by this woman, so when Linglong found him again and asked to borrow money again, he agreed without hesitation. Spending some money to catch up with a promising young general, and being able to get involved with the Wang family, this deal is too worthwhile! Linglong really didn't live up to his high expectations, even if her general's brother bought a house by himself and the whole family lived in it, Linglong still had a way to stay in the Wang family. Seeing that the money he invested in Linglong would be rewarded immediately, Qian Chuanzi was particularly happy in the past few days.
When Duan San appeared in front of him, he was holding a beautiful woman drinking wine and humming a little song, so comfortable. Duan San's appearance made Qian Chuanzi really startled, he pushed the beauty away, got up and jumped a few steps behind, held his big knife in his hand, and yelled at Duan San in a pose, "Who is coming?" β
Duan San approached with a smile, sat down at the dining table where Qian Chuanzi was sitting, glanced at the beautiful woman who fell to the ground, and smiled unabatedly, "I haven't seen you for so many years, you still don't have a long memory!" Haven't you had enough of a woman's loss? β
At this moment, Qian Chuanzi had already recognized Duan San, only to see him throw the big knife aside, and a few quick steps walked up to Duan San, and when he came up, he bent down and arched his hand, "Third brother, don't come unharmed!" β
Duan San listened to Xi Cui's words and was very wary of Qian Yukun, but now he saw people saluting him so frankly, thinking of the previous friendship between the two, he suddenly felt guilty, and hurriedly stood up and helped Qian Yukun, "Why do you and my brother need to be so polite!" (To be continued.) )
