Chapter 297: Robbery?
"Huh? Do you know? ”
The old man surnamed Zhao showed a little inexplicability on his face, thought about it slightly, and nodded, "He is indeed very good-looking, and his age is never more than twenty years old." ”
Lao Wu's expression was solemn, and he said after a while: "I've been carrying two maids by my side? One is called Luo Niang, and the other is called Xiao Yan? ”
"Uh, indeed."
Old Wu let out a long sigh, "It turned out to be her, but why did she come here and not in the capital?" “
As he spoke, he squatted down again, looked at the flower garden carefully, and gestured with his hand, drawing a swastika mark on the ground, and smiled bitterly: "
I'll just say, it's impossible for the masters in this world to pop up casually. ”
He muttered to himself, Zhao Lao was confused, and listened more curiously: "You really know, who is that?" ”
"I didn't expect it to be her, she should have been active in the capital, but there is her symbol on this flower garden, and those who dare to use this symbol in the world are afraid that there will be no one else except her."
Lao Wu said softly.
"She is the lord of Rong'an canonized by the imperial court, and she won the first place in the last spiritual master assessment, and she is one of the most outstanding spiritual masters in recent years.
He simply said everything Hongchen had done in recent years, as if he was watching from the side, and even many details, I am afraid that even Hongchen himself could not remember clearly, but Lao Wu said it clearly.
This can't be helped, once a person is famous, he will be studied in detail, and there will be no privacy at all.
With fame, you can enjoy the benefits of fame, and you must also be prepared to accept all kinds of troubles, there will be many young and vigorous, fledgling teenagers who want to step on you to become famous, and there will be many old-timers who look at you unpleasantly.
Hongchen is not bad, she is the lord of the imperial court, and her status is noble, but there are spiritual masters who look down on her very much, and because of her identity, she doesn't dare to come to the door directly, and other young and famous spiritual masters are still in the wild, no teachers, no family protection, which wants to climb high, it will definitely make countless jealous people want to step on it!
"It's a pity, it's a pity, I didn't have a chance to see each other."
Lao Wu said several times, and glared at his old friend, feeling that he was luckier than himself, no matter what kind of luck he had.
As for Lao Zhao, although he didn't believe it completely, he was still a little skeptical: "...... Are you serious, Xiaohui's business is getting better, it's just because she casually tidied up the flower garden? ”
He didn't think it was reliable when he heard it.
Lao Wu rolled his eyes: "I also sorted it out casually, can you sort it out?" You are all replaced with gold to make a flower garden, there will be no such effect, I don't know how many families, want to beg people to come from home to take a turn, take a look, don't need to stretch out your hand, just point one or two is very satisfying, unfortunately, moving the gold and silver mountains can not beg, do you think that such an understatement, even a magic weapon is useless, and it will instantly change the feng shui of your store's golden dragon water absorption bureau, is a person can be arranged? ”
After being ridiculed, Lao Zhao stroked his beard and smiled, "This is also my good life." Okay, don't mess up with our Xiaohui here, find some snacks and drink. ”
As soon as they mentioned drinking, the two old men couldn't help frowning when they remembered the restaurant they had been turned away.
The two old men are more than 100 years old, and they have not been insulted like this in the past ten years, but they just want to say that because of this matter, they are troublesome to the restaurant......
The two old men looked at each other, and they couldn't help but smile, as if it would be more embarrassing to really go for trouble, so that's it.
"I still think it's a pity that I didn't meet that person, you ran into that person who was blind, I met someone, so I can still ask for advice."
Lao Wu dragged his old friend to walk and walk, went around to a blue brick and green tile house, entered through the side door, and from time to time there was a sound of reading in his ears, the sound was clear, and after a while, the two of them got into the small courtyard on one side.
The tables and chairs in the courtyard were ready, and some snacks and cold food were placed on the table, but there was no one on the table.
The two old men didn't care, obviously they had long been used to it, and others knew their habits, so they didn't bother anyone.
The old men sat down, poured wine and drank at will, ate some snacks and side dishes, the breeze came slowly, and their expressions were pleasant, and Lao Wu even weakened his depression that he had not seen the masters.
They were relaxing here, but they didn't know that the streets not far away were about to turn upside down.
And more or less, there is the responsibility of these two old men.
Hongchen and the Lu family, they are full of food and drink, it is said that they should be in a hurry immediately, but the old lady is sleeping soundly, if the car is going out of the city, there must be bumps, she feels that the old man is relatively little, it is rare to be so comfortable, Qiao's meaning is to simply stay for one night, and set off again tomorrow morning, anyway, the sun is about to set, and this place is already some distance away from Fengcheng, although I dare not say a word of peace of mind, but it is not as anxious as at the beginning.
Qiao's spoke, Hongchen and they had no choice but to agree, and found a good inn to settle down, a group of hairy children were suffocated, so they wanted to go out for a walk, Qiao's also felt sorry for the children, so he ordered the maid and servant to follow and let the children play.
Hongchen followed out the door.
There is nothing to see on the streets of the town, although it is also lively and prosperous, there are also many shops of pen and ink calligraphy and painting, and there are many gadgets on the street, and there are also many antique cultural toys, but compared with the capital, there is no comparison.
Even Sister Yao and them, there is not much novelty, they are different from ordinary girls, the Lu family pays attention to women's education, so that they can go to the street every day, and they are naturally not as knowledgeable as the young lady who does not leave the door.
The group went shopping slowly, and also chose a few gadgets they liked, which were not expensive, and they could buy them with a little private money.
"Huh?"
Hongchen didn't want to buy anything, but as he walked, when he passed by a storefront, he stopped and stopped, the door of the store was wide open, and he could see the counter inside, on which a lot of antique cultural toys were placed, but there were more ancient weapons hanging on the wall, with knives, swords, guns, bows, and a dazzling array of eyes.
Her family's Qingfeng, who had been lazy for a long time and rarely moved, suddenly vibrated slightly in her sleeve.
That feeling should be said to be a little rejection and disgust, but there is a strange identity.
It's like in a literary meeting, someone is named the first in poetry and painting, and the other is named the first in calligraphy, and when two people meet, they may sympathize with each other, or they may be despised by each other, and they don't like each other.
Hongchen simply walked in and took a look.
The things in the store are still a little interesting, especially the weapons, which are old at first glance, but they are still sharp, and most of them can continue to be used.
However, she didn't look at the sword blades on the wall, and what she saw at a glance was a mess of old weapons piled up in the northeast corner of the table, most of which were mutilated, and they looked rusty if they weren't.
One of them looks very quaint, there is no scabbard, only the palm is slightly larger, she feels at a glance that its owner must have hidden it in the sleeve, it is very delicate and lovely, but the rust stain is too thick, so that people have no desire to touch.
Hongchen didn't look left and right, and went over directly and asked, "Xiao Er, how can this knife be sold?" ”
When the shopkeeper saw it, he couldn't help but glance at Hongchen, and when he saw that she was a little girl, he didn't feel strange.
No matter how bad the knife is, it is small and exquisite, and it is not without merit, girls will like it, it is a normal thing, if it is really worthless, it will not be on the counter.
"The guest should like it, you can take it for 100 wen, after all, it is an ancient weapon, and it is too cheap."
This price must be very false, I don't know how much money I didn't know when I received it, Hongchen smiled, and didn't make a counteroffer, so he paid the bill directly.
"Then the guest officer, sit down for a while, and the small one will be wrapped up for you."
After all, the store is different from a small stall, pay attention to the packaging, and most of the people who come to buy things also want to give away, and they have to wrap it.
Hongchen sat down and waited, and there was a shopkeeper over there with a cup of hot tea.
As soon as he entered the door, he swept the counter, glanced at Hongchen, and plunged into it, and then there was some soft conversation inside.
Hongchen didn't listen carefully.
After a while, the inside became very quiet, and after another half or so, the shopkeeper walked out slowly, empty-handed, and embarrassed.
Hongchen looked up at him, and without waiting for him to speak, he suddenly sneered, stood up and said, "Okay, it's really good, this is the first time I've seen you in this business." With that, he turned around and left.
The shopkeeper was startled, his face was full of bitterness, and he chased a few steps out with the copper coin given to him by Hongchen in his hand, and followed closely behind Hongchen.
"Guest, this guest, your money, it's so bad, it's all a small fault to say a thousand things and ten thousand."
Hongchen stopped, looked back at the shopkeeper, and saw that he apologized desperately, but he refused to take out the things he bought again, and shook his head: "Are you determined to transfer the knife I have already bought to someone else?" ”
The shopkeeper didn't dare to speak.
Hongchen looked around, didn't bother to get angry, and sneered: "Okay, I'm here to see who has such courage and ability." ”
That knife, since she got it, it was hers, and it was marked and stained, and others wanted to take it again...... That's a lot of fun.
It's not that Hongchen hasn't seen people snatch things from their hands before, but that's because she didn't pay, it's not her own, of course she is not happy to be robbed, and the person who takes it away won't have anything to do, this time it's completely different.
Sister Yao and the others saw that something was going on here, so they all came over and asked, Hongchen shook his head: "It's nothing, let's go, go back and rest." After speaking, he didn't pay attention to the shopkeeper, didn't even confiscate the money, turned around and left.
The shopkeeper shouted a few times, and the people didn't stop, so he had to stop, and sighed secretly - he also knew that this was too inauthentic, and it was a taboo in business, but who let the one who took the things and their boss were hardcore brothers, and he really had no choice, but he didn't even say the words of compensation, and he felt even more unhappy.
Hongchen walked to the street, walked for a while, and his anger dissipated, and when he returned to the inn, he returned to his amiable face.
And when I went back to the inn, I found that the big guys were very happy, and there was a strange thing, just now a group of people came, and they sent two large boxes of gifts over, saying that they were thanks, Xie Hongchen took a righteous shot, and they didn't lose an important thing.
At this mention, Qiao's and the others guessed that it should be the person who sheltered from the rain and lived next door to them that day, when Hongchen and their master and servant saw that the servant and the young master were abnormal, and by the way, they should have cracked a little conspiracy.
Hongchen opened the box and looked at it, it was actually all good tribute satin, and there were some seafood, Sister Yao and they all liked it very much when they saw it.
"Take it, I don't know who else anyway, people thank you, we don't accept it, it's not good."
It is the best state to be able to buy out favors with money.
The old lady obviously meant the same thing, accepted the gifts, and everything was settled, so that people would not worry about them coercing them to repay the favor, so she let the children pick their favorite ones and take them all to play.
shared the gifts, everyone was very happy, and went to rest after resting, Hongchen had forgotten about the things on the street.
But said that the person who snatched Hongchen's favorite knife was the owner of a restaurant, he was in a hurry to buy this thing, and even made such an inauthentic thing, that was really anxious, there was no way, and this person was also unlucky, just came back from the field, and before he entered his own restaurant, he was sneered at by the old opponent opposite.
He didn't even have time to get angry, so he made his old opponent's face change.
What is Wu Lao and Zhao Lao to eat at his restaurant, but they were sent out by the shopkeeper when he called Huazi.
This, this...... It's worth it!
When I looked back, it wasn't the bastard who spread rumors.
At this moment, the restaurant owner suddenly fried the pot, and the restaurant owner thought about it for a long time, begging for help, and planned to make amends to Wu Lao and Zhao Lao.
Wu Lao likes all kinds of strange magic weapons, and no one in the whole town doesn't know, he thought about it, and suddenly remembered that his friend has something that can't be seen, it is said to be a magic weapon, with aura, it is an ancient knife, but it is not like an ordinary knife, but what is it used for, his good brother is not clear, so he simply left it in the store, wanting to see if he could meet the knowledgeable goods, if he did, it was only regarded as a personal favor.
This thing is really suitable for Wu Lao as a gift, it is not very precious, it is very suitable to give a gift casually, Wu Lao will not think that he is flattering and hateful, he is really anxious, and hurriedly found it, even if the shopkeeper happened to sell something, he was too lazy to find something else, racing against time, grabbing something and leaving.
As for compensation, his brother will pit a handful, and he thinks that his friends will deal with the aftermath.
The owner of the restaurant packed up the gifts, in addition to this knife, and prepared some ordinary four-color snacks, carrying the shopkeeper who caused trouble, and didn't know what was wrong, not much better than an idiot, and went to make amends together. (To be continued.) )
