Chapter 42: Jiang Ling'er
The woman, dressed as a man, took the ball and the thread after paying the money, first smeared some honey on one end of the ball, then grabbed an ant from the ground, tied the thread to the ant's body, and then put the ant in from the other end and blocked the way out, and after a while the ant crawled out of the exit, and the hole in the ball was tortuous, if it weren't for this, it would be difficult to succeed.
"Good" The people around couldn't help but applaud this smart son.
"This ......" The peddler didn't expect his trick to be uncovered so quickly, so he wanted to sneak away, but Lin Xuan had already noticed that he was standing behind him.
"Give money" Before it was the turn of the boy to speak, the people around him demanded that the hawker fulfill his promise.
"How can a small one have so much money?" The vendor said with a crying voice when he saw that the situation was wrong.
"Then you are a liar, send him to the official" The people around saw the hawker like this, and they became even more noisy.
"The little one still has an old mother to support, please turn over me with your noble hands, right?" The peddler immediately used his skills again and began to pretend to be pitiful.
Lin Xuan couldn't help laughing, these methods were still so old-fashioned, couldn't they change their rhetoric?
"Just give up the matter of returning the money you just gave them" Just when Lin Xuan felt that no one would believe the hawker's nonsense, this "son" actually believed it. Lin Xuan suddenly felt incredible, how could such a smart person not understand these routines?
"Yes, yes, yes......" The peddler saw that the other party was willing to let him go, immediately nodded and returned the money just now to everyone.
As for the others, they have already taken back the lost money anyway, and they have scattered and left in line with the principle that more is better than less.
"This son, please stay," Lin Xuan suddenly shouted when the "son" wanted to leave.
"What's the matter?" The woman asked impatiently, as if she had any prejudices against Lin Xuan.
"How did you come up with the solution?" Although Lin Xuan also felt the other party's dislike, he couldn't help but ask curiously.
"There is a record in the ancient book, so it can't be cracked, but Brother Tai obviously has the ability to solve it, why ignore it?" It seemed that this woman's dissatisfaction with Lin Xuan came from here, which made Lin Xuan not know how to answer for a while.
"Why don't I invite my son to a bowl of tea, and we can talk while drinking?" Lin Xuan saw a tea shop around and asked.
"Good," this woman is also refreshing.
"Under Lin Xuan, I haven't asked my son's name yet," Lin Xuan asked after taking his seat.
The woman's smart eyes rolled, "My name is Jiang Lin."
Lin Xuan knew that this was probably also a pseudonym, but he didn't delve into it anymore.
"You haven't said why you just ignored it?" This Jiang Lin seems to be also an unrelenting character, and he will not let go of what happened just now.
"The peddler just now just took advantage of the greed of human nature, I didn't make a move because I wanted these people to buy a lesson, so it wouldn't be much for five cents," Lin Xuan said directly.
"Then why did you help me just now?" Jiang Lin was curious, if it was really as Lin Xuan said, then why did Lin Xuan help her block the back road if the hawker wanted to escape just now?
"The peddler wasn't really wrong before, he just took advantage of people's greed to make a profit, but when you unravel it, he doesn't admit it, it's a fraud," Lin Xuan explained seriously.
Thinking about it like this, Lin Xuan didn't seem to be at fault, and when Jiang Lin was pondering, Lin Xuan said again: "What's more, you are a girl."
"Ah," Jiang Lin was stunned at first, and then looked around and found that no one cared about them, and said in a low voice, "How did you see that?" ”。
"The eye is the window of the heart" Lin Xuan's answer is these five words, Zhou Li's "change book" has the knowledge of teaching people to look at physiognomy, and Lin Xuan is the best at managing people's eyes, because the eyes can't hide secrets.
"Why do you want to dress up as a man?" This was the strangest thing Lin Xuan felt.
"It's not that you Central Plains people are patriarchal, and you think that everyone should stay in the boudoir without going out of the door?" Jiang Lin said dissatisfiedly.
"You don't like it?" Although Lin Xuan is not a person who values etiquette, he also feels that girls really shouldn't show their heads.
"Naturally, would you be happy if you were put in a cage to live?" Jiang Lin looked at Lin Xuan and said seriously, "Why are we women destined to lose to you?" We also have our own dreams and ambitions."
Lin Xuan was stunned by these words, and his eyes stared at Jiang Lin nakedly.
"What are you looking at?" Even a woman like Jiang Lin couldn't stand Lin Xuan's gaze.
"It's rude" Lin Xuan knew that he was indeed rude just now, and even when others said that he was a disciple, he had nothing to refute.
"Are you frightened by my remarks" Jiang Lin knew that no one could stand his remarks since he was a child, so he was not optimistic about Lin Xuan.
"No, I just think good-looking skins abound, but interesting souls are one in a thousand," Lin Xuan didn't feel that Jiang Lin was out of bounds, but felt that she was different from her heart.
Jiang Lin's face turned red in an instant, he lowered his head, his hands were entwined, and he didn't know what to say.
Seeing Jiang Lin like this, Lin Xuan's face also turned red, what did he say just now? Will it be misunderstood?
Just when the two of them were very embarrassed, suddenly Lin Xuan heard a strange scream, this sound should be made by a special instrument, if it wasn't for his internal strength, he wouldn't have heard it at all.
"I still have to leave beforehand" The voice seemed to be aimed at Jiang Lin, and Jiang Lin immediately got up and said goodbye after hearing it.
"Farewell" Lin Xuan felt a little lost in his heart, but he still bowed.
"By the way, my name is Jiang Ling'er," Jiang Lin turned his head and shouted to Lin Xuan after taking a few steps, and then disappeared into the crowd.
Lin Xuan smiled and slowly said three words: "Jiang Ling'er".
On the other side, Jiang Wang had also walked out of the Zhou Mansion.
"Wang, Mr. Zhou seems to be very prejudiced against you?" A person suddenly appeared behind Jiang Wang, but Jiang Wang seemed to be used to it.
"We are already in different camps, not to mention that he complained that I didn't save Lin Jue in the Battle of Qingcheng back then" Jiang Wang knew why Zhou Li treated him like this.
"But we did," the man responded.
"I don't care what he thinks of me, as long as he tells Zhaoming about the matter, then we will be in danger of this trip to the capital," Jiang Wang has never liked to explain anything to others.
"Father" saw Jiang Wang appear, and Jiang Ling'er immediately ran to his side with a smile on his face.
"What's going on?" Jiang Wang saw that his daughter was so happy, and his face was full of smiles.
"Someone just praised me and said that my soul is one in a thousand" Jiang Linger couldn't wait to share her joy with her father, and finally someone appreciated her, it seems that there are still people in this world who have a unique vision.
"He's not blind, is he?" Jiang Wang's words extinguished Jiang Ling'er's passion.
"Ah......" Jiang Ling'er and Jiang Wang were arguing.
Beside them, a woman looked at Ning Xian behind her, and the expression in her eyes was particularly complicated.
"Do you want to tell Your Highness?" Zhou Tong asked Zhou Li.
"Tell me, Your Highness should also know that now Daqi needs the stability of the Northern Regions" Although Zhou Li left the court, he was very clear about the political situation, as Jiang Wang said, once this road is set on, no one can retreat.
"It's a pity that you didn't see her" Zhou Li looked at the people who had been with him for many years, and he couldn't bear it.
"No, she just didn't show up" Zhou Tong's eyes looked into the distance, whether others believe it or not, there is really telepathy in this world.
