Chapter 21: The Fame of Squandering
This crisp voice was like a big thunderbolt in Qin Siye's ears, not only Qin Siye's face changed, but even Hu Sanye got up and stood up, and the audience was in an uproar in an instant.
Those who had already taken steps and were about to leave even stopped, and the crowd gathered again, and everyone's eyes searched the crowd, ten thousand taels. Which fool shouted the high price of 10,000 taels of gold? Isn't she stupid?
Jian Qiubai on the side was already stunned at the moment. 10,000 gold, Xiao Liu is crazy? She wanted to smash the silver, but it wasn't like that. What the hell is she trying to do?
Silence, deathly silence.
At this time, a sister-in-law in a purple tight-fitting beard dress calmly walked out of the crowd, and in the eyes of all people, she went to the stage and took the Buddhist beads from the hand of the host who opened her mouth in shock. Then come to the glass door. I saw her smile and stretch out her hands to Ling'er, who was looking at her curiously with ignorant eyes.
This person's shoulders are like being cut, the waist is like a constraint, and his temperament is natural. Wearing a hood, although I can't see her true face. This looming, there is a hazy beauty, everyone is curious, and they can't help but guess whose daughter is the girl who spends so much money?
At this time, Ling'er was panicked in her heart, she seemed to have forgotten who she was, there were many people here, everyone looked at her with strange eyes, she didn't like the way they looked at her, those eyes seemed to eat her. She's scared.
She was so afraid that the man just now would take him away, this sister was wearing purple clothes and a beautiful hat, beautiful like a fairy in the sky, could she go with her? Those people won't be keeping her alone in a cold room anymore. Thinking of the cold and dark room, Ling'er's body couldn't help but shrink a little.
Seeing that she hesitated and didn't dare to move forward, the corners of Xue Qingyi's eyes were sour, and he said softly: "Don't be afraid, I won't hurt you." ”
In her previous life, Ling'er died so miserably for her, but she couldn't protect Ling'er, since she was reborn, she would never let anyone hurt her again in this life.
Like a ray of warm sunlight shining into a cold and dark room, Ling'er's heart was also melted by this sunlight at this time. She cautiously tentatively reached out, a pair of soft and warm hands instantly grasped her hand, her palms trembled, and she smiled shyly.
"Let's go. Went home with my sister. The inexplicable Ling'er felt extremely relieved and nodded gently.
Under the watchful eyes of everyone, the two sisters-in-law held hands and slowly faded out of everyone's sight.
When he came back to his senses, the host thought that the money had not been paid, so he hurriedly shouted at the backs of the two of them, "Sister-in-law, did you forget to pay the money?" ”
"If you want silver, ask for the Xiao family Erlang of the Ningguo Mansion, and you will not be missing." Her fluttering voice came from afar.
At this point, everyone reacted from the shock, and the scene began to boil again.
Someone shook his head again and again and said disdainfully, "No wonder, I thought that who had such a big hand, it seems to be the Xiao family Ayu of the Ningguo Mansion, if it was her, then there would be nothing strange." ”
"Xiao family Ayu, who is Xiao family Ayu?" Someone in the crowd asked curiously.
"Even the Xiao family's Ayu, you don't know you, you're a foreigner, right?" Everyone looked at the person who asked the question in disbelief, and said with disdain, "That Xiao family's Ayu is a well-known straw bag in our Jinling City."
The person next to him echoed. "This Xiao family Ayu can spend a thousand taels of gold to buy a starling, so it's not unusual to spend 10,000 taels of gold."
"According to what you say, this Xiao family Ayu is such a loser, even if this Ningguo Mansion has gold and silver mountains, she has to be defeated, right?" The person who asked the question just now couldn't help but ask curiously.
"I said brother, you don't understand this, this Xiao Yu's mother Lu is the beloved daughter of the famous wealthy businessman Lu Million in Jiangnan Province, the Lu family's business involves all over the country, it is said that when her mother got married, the dowry alone was a full 128,
The silver tickets, gold, and rare antiques are boxes after boxes, which are more grand and lively than the princess's marriage. Think about how rich her family must be. One of the people in the crowd said happily, "At that time, strings of copper coins were sprinkled all the way from Yangzhou in the south of the Yangtze River to our Jinling, and I also picked up a few taels." That grand occasion was unique in the entire Jinling City, and he still remembered it vividly.
"Tut-tut, Zhumen's wine and meat stink, and there are frozen dogs on the road. This world is so unfair. Someone sighed.
What Xue Qingyi didn't know was that from today onwards, the eight-character label of extravagance and willfulness was firmly attached to her.
Her reputation is even louder in Jinling City.
It is said that Xue Qingyi took Ling'er and hired a carriage, and after a while, he returned to welcome guests, and as soon as he walked to the door of the inn, Wang Xiaoer greeted him sweating profusely.
Seeing Xue Qingyi's side, Ling'er Wang Xiaoer was stunned, and immediately came back to his senses, and said to Xue Qingyi earnestly, "Little lady, you are finally back, something is wrong, there is a burly man in the lobby who has been waiting for you all morning, and he is still wearing a sharp sword, which looks very difficult to get along with." I tried my best to persuade them to leave. Look, do you want to go over and take a look? ”
Xue Qingyi frowned, could it be that someone from the Xiao family is here? Xue Qingyi glanced at the lobby and saw Xiao Qi, who was sitting there with his hands crossed on his chest. According to the memory in her mind, she knew that that person was Xiao Er's guard, Xiao Qi, and it was he who obeyed Xiao Er's orders on the day of his rebirth. put a sack on her and threw her out of the gate of the Ningguo Mansion.
It was really unpleasant to be thrown out of the door like a cargo, although it was not his fault, but the fact was that she was indeed thrown out through his hand, and Xue Qingyi had the heart to dry him.
"Little second brother, don't worry, you first call a servant, go to the garment shop outside to buy a dress for my sister, and ask another maid to prepare a hot soup for bathing, and I will take this sister upstairs to freshen up first."
He also asked, "Since this person has come to wait for me, let him wait a little longer, and you don't have to rush to reply." Let's get busy first. ”
"Okay." Wang Xiaoer heard Xue Qingyi's instructions and turned around and went to the lobby. And Xue Qingyi went upstairs with a curious Ling'er.
Xue Qingyi just went upstairs, and Jian Qiubai also entered the "welcome guest" on the back foot, and when he saw that Xue Qingyi was not there, he asked Xiao Er to ask what was going on. Wang Xiaoerdao and the two had already gone upstairs, so he pointed to Xiao Qi sitting in the lobby with his finger, and said to Jian Qiubai: "Did you see it?" The man sat there and waited for the little lady all morning, and I couldn't persuade him to leave. "Did Xiao Liu say anything?" Jian Qiubai said. Wang Xiaoer shook his head, he was also very curious about whether the little lady was familiar with this person.
"Go get busy, I'll keep an eye on this person." After Jian Qiubai finished speaking, he walked to Xiao Qi's adjacent table and sat down, ordered a pot of Xinyang Maojian, and carefully observed Xiao Qi's movements while drinking tea.
