Chapter 596: Digging into the corner
Seeing Lu Xiaoxian's depressed face, Chen Song smiled and said: "Xiaoxian, don't take it too seriously if you are the shopkeeper, I don't care how much this thing is worth, I care about your heart, as long as you have a heart, it is only worth one or two silver, and I will also treat it as a treasure!" ”
Lu Xiaoxian nodded, and smiled bitterly at Cen Shaobai, "Shopkeeper Cen, if I buy jade again next time, I must pull you to help me take a look first, so as not to be fooled again!" ”
Chen Song also gave Cen Shaobai a thumbs up: "Shopkeeper Cen, you really have a set, with your ability, there will definitely be no problem in opening a jade shop!" You must know that the rich and noble families in Chang'an City, but everyone regards jade as a treasure! ”
Cen Shaobai smiled and said: "I want to open a jade shop, but not now, there are other things to do now!" ”
Speaking of this, Cen Shaobai glanced at Yang Ke, who was silent, shook his head and stopped talking.
Lu Xiaoxian guessed that Cen Shaobai still wanted to open a rouge gouache shop first, but Yang Ke didn't come forward, and Cen Shaobai couldn't do it alone.
Thinking of this, Lu Xiaoxian said apologetically to Yang Ke: "Yang Ke, the matter of the rouge girl has never been settled, you won't blame me, right?" ”
Lu Xiaoxian felt a little guilty in his heart, and promised Yang Ke for so long, but he didn't take the heart to help him. It seems that the next step is to help Yang Ke find someone as a big deal, and no matter what, he must find the rouge girl and reunite the two of them.
Hearing Lu Xiaoxian say this, Yang Ke hurriedly said: "Lu Gongzi is willing to help me, I am already grateful, how can I blame you?" ”
Chen Song said strangely: "Xiaoxian, what are you talking about?" ”
Lu Xiaoxian told Chen Song and his wife what happened to Yang Ke.
When Chen Song and his wife heard this, they sighed.
Lu Xiaoxian took out the portrait that Yang Ke gave himself from his arms, and handed it to Cen Shaobai: "Shopkeeper Cen, please copy more of this portrait for me!" ”
Cen Shaobai took it suspiciously: "Xiaoxian, what are you going to do?" ”
"Chang'an is too big, and it is difficult to find the rouge girl with my strength alone. I want to mobilize more people, and I must help Yang Ke find the rouge girl! So, I need more portraits! ”
Cen Shaobai understood what Lu Xiaoxian meant, he nodded and said, "Xiaoxian, don't worry, I will draw as much as you need, and it can be regarded as my contribution to Brother Yang!" ”
"Give me one when you're done!" Lu Xiaoyi said, "I can help ask when I'm fine!" ”
"And me!" Li Si is not far behind, "There are many people named Huazi in the streets and alleys of Chang'an City, they are the most well-informed, and with the portrait, I can ask them to help inquire!" ”
"We can do our part!" Chen Song and Yu Shi said in unison.
Listening to everyone's words, Yang Ke's lips trembled, he suddenly stood up, left the table, moved two steps to the side, and fell to the ground: "Your great kindness, Yang Ke can't repay it, Yang Ke kowtows to you!" ”
Everyone hurriedly helped Yang Ke up.
Yang Ke couldn't help but cry.
……
Coming out of Yonghe Building, Lu Xiaoxian was about to go back to the gambling house, and halfway down, someone suddenly blocked his way.
Seeing that none of the five or six people blocking the way did not know any of them, Lu Xiaoxian couldn't help but be vigilant in his heart: "What are you going to do?" ”
The leader was a man in a fancy costume, and he said with a smile: "You are Lu Baoguan!" There's something I want to talk to you about, I don't know if I can enjoy it? ”
Lu Xiaoxian was a little hesitant, and the man in Chinese clothes seemed to guess his thoughts: "We have no malice, let's find a teahouse together and chat while drinking, how about it?" ”
Seeing the sincerity of the man in the Chinese costume, Lu Xiaoxian didn't think much about it, so he followed.
They came to the private room of a teahouse, Dr. Tea made tea and went out under the door, Lu Xiaoxian asked bluntly: "What's the matter, just say it." I don't like to beat around the bush. ”
There was a hint of appreciation in the eyes of the man in Chinese clothes: "Lu Baoguan is really a cheerful person, don't worry, let's drink tea first and talk slowly." ”
Hearing what the man in Chinese clothes said, Lu Xiaoxian was not in a hurry, he nodded and stopped talking.
After drinking tea for a while, the man in the Chinese costume saw that Lu Xiaoxian's expression was calm, without the slightest hint of impatience, and he couldn't hold his breath at first: "Lu Baoguan has heard of Qiankun Casino?" ”
Qiankun Casino?
Lu Xiaoxian heard the shopkeeper Hu say that the Qiankun Gambling House is an industry under the name of Princess Anle, could it be that these people are from the Qiankun Gambling House?
Lu Xiaoxian was puzzled in his heart, but there was no change on his face, he shook his head and said: "I haven't been in Chang'an for a long time, I haven't heard of it!" ”
Lu Xiaoxian's answer made the man in the costume stunned, and seeing that Lu Xiaoxian didn't seem to be joking, he had to be embarrassed: "Then Lu Baoguan has heard of Princess Anle?" ”
Not only had he heard of Anle Princess Li Bao'er, but the relationship between Lu Xiaoxian and Li Bao'er was really unusual, but these words couldn't be said to these irrelevant people at all.
Lu Xiaoxian said lightly: "Princess Anle and Princess Taiping are divided into two parts of the world, I have heard of this!" "First grab
The man in the costume breathed a sigh of relief, in case Lu Xiaoxian hadn't even heard of Princess Anle, it would be difficult to explain.
The man in Chinese costume revealed his identity: "Qiankun Gambling House is the property of Princess Anle!" We are the people of Qiankun Casino! ”
The people of the Qiankun Casino?
Lu Xiaoxian saw that the other party was lying, and he didn't bother to expose it, so he said coldly: "My peers are enemies, you find me, you won't just invite me to tea, don't you want to dig the corner of Tiantong Casino?" ”
The man in the Chinese costume was stunned again, and then laughed and said: "To tell the truth, we really want to hire Lu Baoguan to go to the Qiankun Gambling House, I don't know what Lu Baoguan wants?" ”
Lu Xiaoxian laughed and said: "Digging the corner of the wall is digging the corner, don't say anything about being respectful or not, I don't like to hear this." Tell me, what price did your shopkeeper offer? ”
Lu Xiaoxian's quick words were always unexpected by the man in Chinese clothes, and he hurriedly said: "Whatever price Lu Baoguan wants, our shopkeeper will agree!" ”
As soon as the man in the Chinese costume finished speaking, Lu Xiaoxian slapped the table, stood up suddenly, and sneered: "What do you think of me Lu Xiaoxian!" No matter how high the price is, I won't go with you, if I really go with you, how can I still mix in Chang'an City in the future? I'm not a moral person for money! ”
The man in the Chinese costume couldn't help but be stunned, and asked, "Lu Baoguan, you don't think about it anymore?" ”
Lu Xiaoxian didn't reply, so he left the tea room.
From the first time he saw the other party, Lu Xiaoxian could see that the other party could never be a person from Qiankun Casino. Even if Qiankun Gambling House really wants to dig into the corner, it will not use such a clumsy way, and it will not be able to hide from Tiantong Gambling House at all.
The performance of the man in Chinese costume just now is clearly a temptation. Except for the people on the other side of Tiantong Casino, who else will test him?
……
Early in the morning of the second day, Lu Xiaoxian came to Cen's shop, Cen Shaobai's eyes were red, and he handed over a stack of paper: "This is the portrait I copied overnight, a total of eleven, you take it first, I will paint it again when I have time!" ”
I didn't expect Cen Shaobai to be so concerned about this matter, Lu Xiaoxian took the portraits, looked through them one by one, and said: "Great, it's easy to do with these portraits, I'll go find someone to distribute them!" ”
Yang Ke looked at the two of them from the side, grateful but didn't speak, he knew that it would be superfluous to say anything more, so he could only cast a grateful glance at the two.
Lu Xiaoxian said to Yang Ke: "Yang Ke, I have a sentence, I don't know if to say it?" ”
Yang Ke hurriedly said: "If the owner has something to say, you can speak directly, Yang Ke listens to it!" ”
Lu Xiaoxian said solemnly: "Looking for the Rouge girl, maybe you will find it in three or five days, maybe you will find one for three or five years, or even thirty or fifty years, you have to be mentally prepared, can you wait?" ”
Yang Ke nodded firmly: "I can wait, even if I can't find Rouge in my life, I will keep waiting!" ”
"I believe in you!" Lu Xiaoxian's voice changed, "Waiting is a very tiring thing, and it is not possible to do without a good body." Like you now, you are in a trance every day, you can't eat, you can't sleep, or your body will collapse soon. Brother Yang, think about it, if you can't stand it physically, when we find the rouge girl one day, you won't have the chance to see her again, won't you have to leave a lifelong regret? ”
Listening to Lu Xiaoxian's words, Yang Ke's heart was shocked, and he was speechless for a long time.
Lu Xiaoxian hit the railway while it was hot: "With all due respect, if you don't change the status quo as soon as possible, you might as well give up and go to the rouge girl!" ”
Cen Shaobai interjected: "Childe, what do you mean by this? ”
"If we find the Rouge girl, but Yang Ke leaves, he is relieved, but have you ever thought about it, what should the Rouge girl do? Let her face this outcome. It's better not to look for it, it's so unfair to the rouge girl! ”
"Nope! This must not be the case! Yang Ke trembled, he grabbed Lu Xiaoxian's arm tightly, and asked in a trembling voice, "Tell me, what should I do?" ”
Lu Xiaoxian could understand Yang Ke's mood, and he asked, "Where did the name of the rouge girl come from?" ”
"Because my family makes rouge!"
Lu Xiaoxian asked again: "Have you thought about it, if you find the rouge girl in the future, how will you live?" ”
"We also make rouge!"
Lu Xiaoxian smiled and said, "Then why wait until the future?" ”
Yang Ke looked at Lu Xiaoxian in amazement.
"Your profession is to make rouge, if you put your mind on making rouge, your spirit will have sustenance, and your body will naturally get better, so that you will have enough time to wait for the day when you find the rouge girl!"
Yang Ke lowered his head and pondered.
"Shopkeeper Cen was planning to open a rouge shop, and wanted to hand it over to you to run it, if one day in the future, the rouge girl comes back, isn't this your home!"
Yang Ke raised his head, looked at Lu Xiaoxian and Cen Shaobai, and stopped talking.
"It takes a lot of manpower to find the rouge girl, and it costs a lot of silver, you run the rouge shop well and earn money, which not only helps the shopkeeper Cen but also does your part to find the rouge girl, what reason do you have not to do it?"
