28. Bodhi Tree

The next day, the people of Jiangzhou Mansion saw a good show.

Xu Guang, the rampant little overlord, was stripped of his clothes and thrown at the entrance of the vegetable market, not to mention, he was tied to the pillar with flowers, and a pair of scissors were inserted in the wooden pillar, which happened to rest between his legs, and the sharp tip of the knife almost touched his life.

The cloth on his face had already been removed, but when the people saw that it was this overlord, no one wanted to come forward to loosen the tie for him. On the one hand, he is afraid that the Xu family will find trouble, and he can't explain it clearly; On the one hand, everyone is also happy to see him being rectified and ugly. Soon, the people in Jiangzhou Mansion knew the news, and they flocked from all directions to see the excitement, surrounding the entrance of the vegetable market.

Xu Guang still had rags stuffed in his mouth, and he couldn't say it, but his roar and screams turned into whines, glaring at the onlookers sadly and angrily, and struggling unwillingly.

I don't know who in the crowd "kindly" reminded: "Don't move, don't move!" Watch out for you underneath! ”

The root of his leg touched something cold, Xu Guang struggled to look down, only to see the scissors open their mouths wide, facing him straight at the thing, as if he was about to correct him on the spot.

Xu Guang was frightened, frightened and angry, and his eyes were very uncompetitive, and he fainted.

"Haha......"

Qianqian and Miao Fan were also in the crowd, and he was pulled by her early in the morning to join in the fun. She laughed so hard that she bent down holding her stomach, unable to stand up for a long time.

Miao Fan's expression was faint, and he seemed to be a little displeased, so he went to hold her hand for the first time: "Don't look at it, go back." ”

Qianqian was dragged away by him, looking back unwillingly, trying to bargain with him: "Look at it for a while!" Just for a moment! ”

"Nope." Miao Fan is particularly difficult to speak today, his eyes are clear and cold, and his tone is also very cold and hard, and he said: "How do girls look at it." ”

Huh? Does he mind if she looks at Xiaobawang?

Qianqian tilted her head and smiled and asked, "You don't like me to look at other men?" ”

Miao Fan lowered his eyes and said softly: "He has no clothes." ”

He's probably jealous. Qianqian guessed like this, she was in a good mood, and she deliberately teased him: "I can't see anything from such a distance, why don't we get closer and see it?" ”

Miao Fan was annoyed: "No! You, you...... Other girls are ashamed, why do you have to go to the front to see that person? ”

Why is her temperament different from ordinary people?

"If you don't allow me to see it, I won't look at it." Qianqian shrugged, as if she was a little regretful, but she quickly tiptoed and bit his ear, and whispered, "I don't look at others, I only look at you...... All right? ”

She bit his ear genuinely, the tip of her tongue was itchy and numb, half of Miao Fan's cheeks were hot, and she was ashamed and angry: "Don't show it!" ”

He shook his sleeves and shook his hand, turned his head and left, she chased after him with a smile, and after a while he pounced on his back, the two of them pulled and entangled for a while, and he still took her hand and walked together.

Back at the inn, Master Lu said that he had found a good house and asked Qianqian to take a look. It happened that Qin Sheng and Feng Sheng shouted Miao Fan to go out together, saying that they were participating in the poetry meeting held among the candidates, so Qianqian and him separated and ran their own errands.

Before leaving, Qianqian stuffed a heavy silver bag into Miao Fan's arms: "Just spend it, don't worry about the silver, I have it." ”

Miao Fan didn't want to accept it: "I don't have anything to spend money on." ”

"What do you mean that in a place where there is no money, the poetry club has to make up for it, you think that others invite you for nothing, idiot." Qianqian smoothed the folds of his clothes for him, like a gentle and considerate little wife, "You want to marry me, so my silver is yours, but your people are mine." I'm a good deal! ”

She wouldn't let him refuse, dropped a kiss on his lips, and pushed him out the door with a smile.

As soon as Miao Fan left, Qianqian went to call Ah Piao and Master Lu, and the three of them went out not in a hurry to see the house, but came to Chunfeng Tower.

The shopkeeper saw Qianqian's face stiffen, pretending not to know, and asked, "Is the guest officer sharpening or staying in the hotel?" ”

Qianqian didn't grind, and got straight to the point: "I'll get the horse." ”

The shopkeeper pretended to be confused: "Horse? Our restaurant doesn't sell horse meat. ”

"Less garlic for my aunt and grandmother! Where's the sweaty BMW I rode yesterday? Qianqian was furious, grabbed the shopkeeper's collar, "Quickly lead the horse out!" ”

The shopkeeper has a weak heart, but he still wants to deny it: "No, there is no lady, your horse ......"

Qianqian sneered and threw him away: "Don't come to this set." If you don't hand over the horse today, I will immediately go to the yamen to accuse you of stealing my Dawan horse, and tell you that there were many people who saw me riding last night, and there were at least seven or eight witnesses, and my groom is here, and he knows the horse's hoof prints. ”

Ah Piao, who acted as a groom, took a step forward very consciously and showed his face.

The shopkeeper's legs were weak: "No, I haven't seen the lady yesterday, how can I steal the lady's horse?" ”

"It seems that you don't cry when you don't see the coffin." Qianqian sighed, waved her hand, and said, "I originally wanted to let you go, but since you want to kill yourself, I won't be kind enough." Butler, let's go and visit the prefect now, and you can quickly send the name of the prime minister. ”

When the shopkeeper heard that she had moved out of the prefect's mansion, and remembered her arrogant young lady appearance last night, he felt furious in his heart, and his intuition must be that there must be a big man from here.

Qianqian turned around to leave, but the shopkeeper panicked and hurriedly stayed: "Madame stay!" Stay! He sneered and treated Qianqian as if he was Guanyin Bodhisattva, and then made an offering, "If you have something to say, please inside." ”

The final result of the negotiation was that Chunfeng Lou planned to pay 100 taels of silver to calm people and soothe the "pain of losing horses".

"Who is rare for you to lose money, I want Dawan Horse! Unique in Jiangzhou! Qianqian looked at the white flowers and silver, showing that she didn't care.

The shopkeeper has never seen the master who doesn't want to give silver, and he thinks that this time he has encountered a soft and hard iron stone that is not eaten, and the dare lover regards money as dung!

On the one hand, he didn't dare to offend the little overlord Xu Guang and tell the "truth", on the other hand, he was afraid of provoking this lady to eat a lawsuit, so he said all the good things: "The villain lost his wife's horse, it's the villain's fault, I should die!" I'm damned! But it's not easy for us to do a small business, the whole family relies on this restaurant to eat, madam, are you holding your hands high? The villain kowtowed to you, hey—"

"Eh, eh, get up!" Qianqian finally relented, "Forget it, don't knock, you still kneel to me at such an old age, I'm afraid of losing my life!" One hundred taels is one hundred taels, I won't pursue it. ”

The shopkeeper gratefully sent Qianqian and his party out, and was afraid that she would regret it, so he took the initiative to stuff the wrapped silver into Ah Piao's arms.

Qianqian didn't look at the silver, but just thought about the horse: "If my horse runs back by itself, you must keep it, I will definitely buy the horse back, and it will cost as much silver as it takes." ”

This sentence ignited the shopkeeper's hope again, and he thought that maybe the little overlord woke up and found that the horse was not his own, and would send it back with great mercy? Although I think the possibility is very small, there is always a 1 in 10,000 chance!

Thinking of this, the shopkeeper was not so aggrieved, and sent Qianqian away with kind words, and shouted behind his back: "Madame often comes to patronize!" ”

"Shopkeeper," the man came out of nowhere, and looked at the few people who walked away, wondering, "they haven't paid for yesterday's meal yet." ”

That's right! Yesterday for a long time, they sent a table of dishes out of the house for nothing! The shopkeeper slapped his leg anxiously and shouted, "Madame, wait—you haven't paid yet—"

In the crowd, Qianqian looked back and smiled: "Didn't you say that you didn't see me at all last night?" Why should I give you money? ”

Soon, the three of them walked separately, and each of them was overwhelmed by the crowd, and the shopkeeper didn't even catch a shadow.

Master Lu's favorite house, in a small alley called Zhuzhi Lane, although it is not a prosperous area and does not occupy a large area, it is quiet and elegant, and it is a good place to study quietly.

Qianqian has seen the house inside and out, and she is still quite satisfied, but there is another question: the small courtyard is very good, why has it not been sold?

She asked Master Lu, and Master Lu explained: "The price offered by the master's family is a bit high, and eight hundred taels is not a lot, and it must be paid immediately." ”

Eight hundred taels? At this price, you can buy a bigger and better house! Qianqian Nunuzui, although he thinks it's not worth it, but since Master Lu has taken a fancy to bringing her, he must have his reasons. So she said, "Uncle Lu, I listen to you, if you think it's suitable, we'll buy it." ”

Master Lu twisted his beard and smiled slightly: "Buy." ”

At the moment, Master Lu asked the tooth man to call the seller, and the two parties signed the deed of sale.

Qianqian took out the silver ticket from her purse and counted them, and spread her hand in front of Ah Piao: "Silver." ”

Ah Piao bit the grass, clenched his chest and shook his head violently: "I don't have any silver!" ”

"One hundred taels from the shopkeeper of the restaurant, bring it." Qianqian didn't discuss with him, anyway, she wanted him to take the money.

Ah Piao's face was dead: "I didn't take it, didn't you take it?" ”

"The shopkeeper gave him cash silver, and wrapped it in blue cloth. I was inconvenient to sell at the time, so it was the silver you took, and you came over with a burden in your hand, and you lost it in the blink of an eye? You are less than me, where is the silver hidden, say it quickly! ”

"I don't know what to do! I've been following you all the way, how can I hide the money, Qianqian, you really remember wrong. Ah Piao didn't admit it, opened his arms and empty hands: "I don't believe you." ”

Qianqian looked at him with a sneer, and said, "What are you searching for, one hundred taels of silver is not a small amount, you can't see it when you put it on your body?" You're less pretentious. She pursed her lips in contemplation, paced around the yard, and stopped under a linden tree. She suddenly smiled: "I remember that the little monk told me that Bodhi is wisdom, which represents great enlightenment and clear mind. I didn't understand it just now, but when I saw this Bodhi tree, I suddenly had an epiphany. ”

Qianqian found a long bamboo pole and dug it into the branch above his head, and said, "According to what you said, you have never left the sight of me and Uncle Lu, and the silver can't fly, how can it be out of thin air?" So you must have come here to hide your silver. And you won't hide in ordinary places, which are easy to be discovered, and you will hide in places that only you can easily reach and that are difficult for others to reach. What is it? Brother Piao, you are as light as a swallow, and it is as easy as flying up and down, but it is not so easy for others. You've been leaning against the linden tree just now, haven't you? Guess if the silver will be on the tree? ”

"Poof", a small blue burden fell from the treetops.

Qianqianmei smiled, picked it up and opened it to see, the silver ingots of white flowers, counted just one hundred taels.

Ah Piao wanted to cry without tears: "Don't you want to be so smart!" I finally made some money, but you scavenged it, you are more picky than Wang Fat! ”

"Ouch, Brother Piao, what are you talking about, sister, this is for your good, help you save money to marry a daughter-in-law!" Qianqian wrapped up the silver, plus seven hundred taels of silver tickets, and gave them to Uncle Lu as money to buy a house. She winked playfully at Ah Piao, "Later, I will buy a big mansion to live in, and this place will be given to you without taking a penny." ”

Ah Piao was skeptical: "You would be so kind? ”

"Of course it's not for nothing, Brother Piao, you can help me get some medicine."

Ah Piao was confused: "Sweat medicine? You go to find Xiaohe. ”

"Not really." Qianqian squinted and smiled, not showing any shyness, "It's for the little monk." ”

The boudoir's aphrodisiac, love, and medicine?!

Ah Piao looked her from head to toe and from foot to head twice, and said in a disdainful tone: "Hey, hey, how come you have such a hobby!" He felt sorry for the poor honest monk.

Qianqian's expression was serious, and she faintly revealed a little excitement: "I plan to personally drug him tonight." ”

By medicating the wound and taking the opportunity to touch the back of the little monk, shouldn't it be too much?

The author has something to say: The third watch is also coming, and Uncle Jiu has really been squeezed dry......

Congratulations to the little liar, who is about to become the first heroine in history to smear, wipe, aphrodisiac and medicine on Nanzhu! The festival has been shattered into slag......

All thanks to the brain-opening Brother Piao, goodjob!!
