Chapter 689: Multiple Efforts
"It's a little too early to tell, you know it's okay, I'll tell you when the time comes!" Wei Xianyun hugged his fist at Lu Xiaoxian and said, "I'll leave first, take care of yourself!" ”
With that, Wei Xianyun left in a hurry.
Looking at Wei Xianyun's back, Leng Qing looked at Lu Xiaoxian with doubts: "Why does he want to help you?" ”
Lu Xiaoxian shook his head and didn't speak, he knew it very well in his heart, because he had a ten-year appointment with Wei Xianyun.
……
After coming out of the prison, Wei Xianyun turned a few corners and came to the back hall of Jingzhao Mansion.
The door of the living room in the back hall of Jingzhao Mansion was wide open, and Zhou Xian was sitting in the living room in a daze, suddenly raised his eyes, and found that Wei Xianyun's lazy figure was coming towards him, and Zhou Xian's head suddenly became several times bigger.
Compared with Liu Yanglai, Wei Xianyun is much more humble, but Zhou Xian understands in his heart that Wei Xianyun's humility does not mean that he can snub him, on the contrary, Zhou Xian needs to be more cautious in dealing with Wei Xianyun.
There is no need to guess, Zhou Xian also knows that the purpose of Wei Xianyun's trip must be for Lu Xiaoxian's case. Even thinking with his toes, he also understood what Wei Xianyun wanted to say to himself.
Despite the deep bitterness in his heart, Zhou Xian still had to cheer up, hurriedly got up, smiled all over his face, and trotted towards Wei Xianyun to meet him.
……
"Flawless! What are you doing here? Lu Xiaoxian stared at Lu Wuxian in surprise.
"You've caused such a big disaster, I'm not afraid I won't be able to see you!" Lu Wufang didn't have a good airway.
Lu Xiaoxian glanced at Leng Qing and looked playful: "Huh? Mr. Leng catches the head, I'm afraid you played a role in this, right? ”
Lu Wuflaw's face turned red for no reason, and he glanced at Lu Xiaoxian: "It has nothing to do with him!" ”
Lu Xiaoxian and Lu Wuxian talked, and Wu Yanxiu and Leng Qing avoided to the side.
Wu Yanxiu looked at Leng Qing and shook her head with a smile.
"What are you laughing at?" Leng Qing asked curiously.
Wu Yanxiu said with a smile: "Others can't see it, but I really see it, the flawless girl has fallen in love with you!" ”
"Don't talk nonsense!" Leng Qing said with a red face.
"Eyes can't deceive people!" Wu Yanxiu said seriously, "She looks at you differently, I can feel it!" ”
Leng Qing wanted to say something, but heard Lu Xiaoxian say on the side: "Brother Leng, Flawless is everyone's lady, what is not worthy of you?" I've made up my mind about this matchmaker, if you refuse, then you will look down on my Lu family! ”
Leng Qing was stunned, Wu Yanxiu had already smiled and leaned back,
……
In Shangguan Zhaorong Mansion, the maid Hong'er reported softly to Shangguan Wan'er: "Niangniang, the Lu Xiaoyi who came with Lu Xiaoxian last time asked to see you!" ”
Shangguan Wan'er had a faint smile on her face: "Thinking that he should come too, let him come in!" ”
After a while, Hong'er led Lu Xiaoyi in.
"I've seen Zhaorong Niangniang!" Lu Xiaoyi saluted Shangguan Wan'er.
"Excuse me!" Shangguan Wan'er changed her habit of going around in circles in the past, and said straight to the point: "Say, in order to save Lu Xiaoxian, how much money did you raise to beg me?" ”
Hearing this, Lu Xiaoyi couldn't help but be stunned, he saw Shangguan Wan'er looking at him with a smile, and quickly settled down, took out a stack of silver tickets from his arms and handed them over: "Because of the tight time, I only raised 200,000 taels, please smile!" ”
Shangguan Wan'er didn't look at it, waved her hand to Hong'er, and motioned for Hong'er to accept the silver ticket.
Seeing Hong'er take the silver ticket, Shangguan Wan'er said to Lu Xiaoyi again: "These silver are definitely not enough, I heard that Cen Shaobai sold the money village and all the shops, Lu Xiaoxian's father-in-law also sold Yonghe Building, and Lu Xiaoxian's confidante is also a rich master, all the money should be far more than this, right?" ”
Lu Xiaoyi didn't expect Shangguan Wan'er to say so directly, he blushed and said: "Because of the tight time, plus the New Year's pass, a lot of silver has not been obtained for the time being, and now there is only so much!" ”
"All of them, how many?" Shangguan Wan'er asked quietly.
Lu Xiaoyi gritted his teeth and said, "There are about 600,000 taels!" ”
"How many days do you estimate that you will be able to deliver the remaining 600,000 taels of silver tickets?" Shangguan Wan'er continued to ask.
In Lu Xiaoyi's eyes, Shangguan Wan'er is not a greedy person, and for some reason today, she seems to be quite interested in silver, which makes Lu Xiaoyi feel very uncomfortable.
Seeing that Lu Xiaoyi stopped talking, Shangguan Wan'er said meaningfully: "Whether Lu Xiaoxian can be safe or sound depends on your silver!" ”
Hearing Shangguan Wan'er say this, in order to rescue Lu Xiaoxian, Lu Xiaoyi couldn't care so much, he glanced at Shangguan Wan'er, took a deep breath and said: "I promise to send the remaining silver tickets to Niangniang's mansion within two days!" ”
"Good! Remember what you say! Shangguan Wan'er sent off the guest, "You go back first!" ”
After sending Lu Xiaoyi away, Hong'er returned to the room, stood behind Shangguan Wan'er, secretly glanced at Shangguan Wan'er, and lowered her head again.
Shangguan Wan'er seemed to have eyes behind her, and threw out a sentence for no reason: "If you have something to say, you just have to say it, I don't care if it's suffocated!" ”
Hong'er was stunned for a moment, and boldly asked: "Niangniang is wise, the slave maid does not know something!" ”
"You've been with me for so many years, and you know who I am, and you're trying to ask why I'm so greedy today, so I have to squeeze out their money, right?" Shangguan Wan'er's face was as calm as water.
"Slaves don't dare!" Hearing Shangguan Wan'er say such a heart-wrenching word, Hong'er was so frightened that she quickly knelt on the ground.
"Get up! I just said what you thought in your heart, and I didn't blame you! Shangguan Wan'er said kindly, "Actually, I'm helping him!" ”
Hong'er was puzzled, but didn't dare to ask.
"Lu Xiaoxian is Cui Lang's best friend, in order to save Lu Xiaoxian, Cui Lang played to His Majesty several times, asking His Majesty to pardon Lu Xiaoxian. No matter how greedy I am, I won't beat Lu Xiaoxian's idea! Shangguan Wan'er's eyes flashed with a hint of wisdom, "Your Majesty already has the intention of pardoning Lu Xiaoxian, if I am not wrong, Princess Taiping will soon take action, and Lu Xiaoxian's acquittal from prison is basically a foregone conclusion." ”
"If that's the case, why is the mother persecuting them?" Hong'er was even more puzzled.
"I can see the situation clearly, but I can't guarantee that they can understand it too, because I am afraid that they will rush to the hospital and spill the money everywhere in vain, but they will not even hear a sound. Rather than that, it's better for me to take it for them first, and when Lu Xiaoxian is released from prison, I will return it in full! ”
After hearing this, Hong'er suddenly realized that she had to admire Shangguan Wan'er's foresight.
"Actually, there's another meaning to me doing this!" Shangguan Wan'er seemed to be in a good mood, and she said to Hong'er, "Even if Lu Xiaoxian is released from prison this time, he will definitely not be able to stay in Chang'an." I urged them to ask for silver, that is, to let them dispose of the shop and property as soon as possible, although they were all sold cheaply, but they could be cut off clearly. In this way, Lu Xiaoxian can leave Chang'an without worries when he is released from prison, and if he leaves a day early, he will naturally be less dangerous. ”
Speaking of this, Shangguan Wan'er sighed faintly and said to herself, "I hope that one day in the future, he can understand my good intentions!" ”
……
In the Long's dart game, Long Zhuang was sitting in the room with a sad face.
"Bureau Master, Miss Jiang asks to see you!" A dart master came to report.
Long Zhuang cheered up and ordered: "Hurry up, please!" ”
Jiang Xiaotong entered the house and saluted Long Zhuang and said, "Xiaotong has seen Brother Long!" ”
Long Zhuang hurriedly returned the salute and said, "Brother and sister, Long is ashamed!" ”
Jiang Xiaotong was a little inexplicable: "Brother Long, why do you say this?" ”
Long Zhuang took out a few silver tickets from his arms and handed them to Jiang Xiaotong: "I can barely make up 20,000 taels of silver here, I thought that I would deal with the dart game and make up more silver to send to my younger siblings, but at this juncture, no one came to take over the dart game, which is really embarrassing!" ”
"Brother Long, the Long Clan's dart game must not be shot!" Jiang Xiaotong hurriedly waved his hand.
"What? Brother and sister, do you look down on Brother Long? Long Zhuang said excitedly, "Although I, Long, am a martial artist, I also know the truth of being reciprocated by the grace of a drop of water!" At the beginning, when I was in the most difficult time, Xiao Xian helped me, but now that Xiao Xian is in trouble, how can I stand idly by? What's more, half of this Long's dart game was originally idle, and now it is in a hurry to use the money, and if it is sold, it will be sold, and there is nothing to be reluctant to! ”
"Brother Long, you're going to be mistaken! I've got all the money! Jiang Xiaotong hurriedly explained, "I came today, because Xiao Xian has something to pass on to Brother Long!" ”
"Passing the word?" Long Zhuang was stunned, "Xiao Xian has something to say, brother and sister, hurry up!" ”
"Xiao Xian said, please rest assured Brother Long, he will be released from prison soon!"
"Is this true?" Long Zhuang said in surprise.
Jiang Xiaotong nodded and said: "Xiao Xian asked me to tell Brother Long that he may not be able to stay in Chang'an after being released from prison, and he is not uncommon in other industries, but the Long Dart Bureau is his home." One day, when he returns to Chang'an, he hopes that his home is still there, and he hopes to return to his own home! ”
"Xiao Xian!" Long Zhuang's lips trembled, and he couldn't say a word.
"Fortunately, I came in time, otherwise you would have left Xiaoxian with lifelong regrets!" Jiang Xiaotong comforted Long Zhuang, "Brother Long, you know better than me that the Long Dart Game is a little idle, you must not sell it!" ”
"Not for sale! Don't sell! Long Zhuang's eyes moistened: "Brother and sister, tell Xiao Xian for me, I will help him guard the Long Clan's dart game, let him rest assured, his home in Chang'an will always be there!" The door of his home will always be open for him! ”
……
On the twenty-sixth day of the lunar month, snowflakes drifted in the sky of Chang'an.
With Chinese New Year's Eve just a few days away, families are immersed in the festivities brought by the festival.
In the Daming Palace, outside the Ganlu Palace, a slender woman was kneeling in the snow, with a thick layer of snowflakes falling on her body, if she wasn't still shivering, it would make people mistakenly think that she was a snowman piled up.
Unlike the snowy outside, the inside of the Manna Hall is warm.
Li Xian put his hands behind his back and sighed while pacing back and forth irritably.
