Chapter 33: The Jade Ring

Accustomed to hearing the teacher Zhou Qiong shouting as an old monk, just now Xiao Shuiye was a grandfather again, Li Xi subconsciously thought that Mo Yan must be a white-bearded old monk, who knew that he found out at first sight that he had a white complexion, a clear appearance, and a long beard under his chin that was as black as ink, and he seemed to be only in his thirties.

But after seeing him for the first time, this was not the most surprising to Li Xi.

The most important thing is that this person is extremely ugly.

Triangular eyes, dropped eyebrows, nostrils turned out, extremely long face, and prominent cheekbones on the face, thin and frightening.

At this glance, it was like suddenly meeting a zombie in a good day, Rao is Li Xi was bold, and he couldn't help but pause when he took a step, and his face couldn't hide his surprise.

It's strange to say, just when he paused for a moment, and when he looked up again, he saw that the monk Mo Yan was ugly or ugly, but there seemed to be a sudden touch of peace on his body, and at this time he opened his eyes and looked at it with a smile, which actually made Li Xi feel much calmer in his heart all of a sudden, and his face showed a smile inexplicably.

In a trance, I remembered that I heard someone mention it, saying that the ancients had many strange appearances, and those with strange appearances were often talented.

Just when he smiled slightly, Li Xi thought to himself, it seems that he really underestimated this old monk too much. Now that I think about it, yes, if I don't have some Taoism, what do I expect to make people like the teacher Zhou Qiong respect him?

This time I should have met a strange person.

At that moment, Li Xi entered the meditation room of the old monk Mo Yan, clasped his hands together, and bowed deeply.

Mo Yan didn't return the salute when he saw this, but said with a smile: "Master Li, the old monk has been waiting for you here for seven days, why is it too late?" ”

Li Xi was shocked when he heard this, raised his head but made a casual appearance, and said with a smile: "Master's words are also strange, could it be that you and I knew each other before?" ”

Monk Mo Yan smiled when he heard this, nodded and said, "Of course I know." ”

Li Xi was slightly stunned when he heard this, and asked again: "When did you meet?" Why don't I even know at all? ”

Mo Yan smiled when he heard this, but he avoided answering, but suddenly asked, "She's in your house, is she okay?" ”

Li Xi was shocked when he heard this, and immediately sat upright, looking at Mo Yan with blazing eyes, and asked tentatively, "I don't know who you are asking, Master?" My father and mother have passed away for many years, and my uncle is still there, and he has always been fine. ”

Mo Yan smiled slightly, but closed his eyes.

At this time, Xiao Shui Ye brought the tea, Li Xi took the tea in his hand, took a small sip and put it down, after a while, when he saw that the other party did not speak or open his eyes, he hesitated for a moment before asking: "Shui Ye called Uncle Shi when he saw me just now, this, somehow?" ”

After hearing this, Mo Yan slowly opened his eyes, smiled, and said, "You are a disciple of Mr. Grand Duke, and Mr. Grand Duke calls me a senior brother, dare to ask, aren't you Shui Ye's senior uncle?" ”

Li Xi was silent when he heard this, and after a while, he raised his head and asked again: "Whose order did the master come here?" How did you know her? ”

Li Xi only said one of her, and did not mention the person's name, but both of them knew that since Mo Yan asked that sentence just now, today's topic has been to don't think about Li Xi's Wulan who lives in Li Xi's mansion at the moment.

Even from Mo Yan's tone, Li Xi could vaguely feel that there was everything about Wulan, and this old monk probably knew more than himself, so although he was not very happy, he still took the initiative to return to this topic.

Mo Yan shook his head when he heard this, and then nodded again.

"More than ten years ago, I had already seen her in Zhang Shuogong's mansion, and I missed her a little after a long time. I didn't come here to do anyone's will, and the noble man in the court didn't know that there was a niece in his mother's family alive. ”

Li Xi couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he heard this, but before he could speak, he heard Mo Yan say again: "However, if I can take her back this time, I will definitely let their aunt and nephew meet, so if the donor says that I am in court, it is okay." ”

As soon as these words came out, Li Xi's heart that had just been put down suddenly slipped up again, and he couldn't help but ask in surprise: "You want to take her away?" ”

The old monk looked at him with a smile when he heard this, and asked, "Why, the donor doesn't agree?" ”

He smiled and said, "If their aunts and nephews can recognize each other, it must be indispensable for you, the person who took in, to be rich." Leave her in Shuzhou, but you have to be scared all day long! ”

Li Xi was dumbfounded when he heard this, and only felt a reversal in his chest.

Damn, Lao Tzu has just started to start, and he is ready to fulfill the promise he made to the beautiful woman, but before he can really walk, someone is already going to rob people.

And it seems that there are still plenty of reasons for people to rob people, after all, that Concubine Wu Hui is Wu Lan's aunt.

Li Xi turned his head to look at the old monk Mo Yan and asked, "If I don't let her go, what will happen to the master?" ”

The old monk shook his head when he heard this, and said, "The poor monk doesn't know. But donor, with your cleverness, you must be able to think it through, perhaps, you should go back and ask her? ”

Li Xi suddenly waved his hand and said resolutely: "No need, she is my woman, I have the final say." ”

After thinking about it, Li Xi brushed his sleeves and got up, gave a deep salute, and said: "I heard that Buddhism also has the beauty of sincerity and benevolence. ”

Without waiting for Mo Yan to speak, he turned around and walked out of the meditation room, so he didn't see it, seeing his displeased appearance, the old monk Mo Yan did not have the slightest displeasure, but nodded and smiled.

※※※

Standing at the door of the Li Mansion, Yang Zhao looked up at the brand-new plaque above his head, and couldn't help but sigh with emotion.

He doesn't know much about words, but the name of Lord Benzhou's assassin is absolutely recognizable, look at Li Xi, this is what called Wang Bada turn over, in the blink of an eye, he is no longer the fool who everyone dared to take out and laugh at at that time, who is it now? It was a figure who even had a tattoo on the plaque of the house.

This plaque is really magnificent.

Looking at this plaque, thinking about Li Xi's current scenery, and then thinking that he was going to see Li Xi soon, he was unconsciously a little excited in his heart.

When I went to the mansion yesterday morning to inquire, the third sister Yang Huanu had already clearly told him, saying that she had already mentioned to Li Xi that he would come forward to join the sales of this new wine on behalf of Pei Yangfu, but before that, Li Xi still had to meet him. That's why he came here today.

The new wine, it is said that the name was also given by Lord Thorn Shi, and it is called Jiannan Burning Spring.

Listen, the master of the assassin is a good learner, just by this name...... Well, that's nice, domineering!

At present, this new wine has long been known in the whole Shuzhou, and countless drunkards are hungry for something, and the price everywhere is famous for this Jiannan Shaochun, but since the wine tasting for three consecutive days, this Jiannan Yaochun and Li Xi have disappeared together, everyone is just waiting and looking forward to it, but there is no official listing, but there is some discussion in the streets and alleys, saying that Li Qiu Li Xi and their uncle and nephew have united Lord Sima Liu Boliu in Benzhou, as well as that Pei Yang Mansion, have begun to build a winery.

Yang Zhao also knew about building a winery or something, but he also understood that his third sister didn't plan to let herself get involved from the beginning, because she couldn't trust herself at all.

Selling alcohol, that's where money comes in, is there anything better to make money than this?

Because as soon as he got the news yesterday in the mansion over there, Yang Zhao was overjoyed, and it was rare that he didn't gamble for a whole day, but while thinking about it uneasily, he didn't know if he could give Li Xi a fancy to it, and on the other hand, he thought that he could rely on his own appearance, so Li Xi was picky, and he didn't have a reason to dislike himself, so before he skimmed the eight characters, he had already begun to think about how he would make money from it in the future.

When he got up early this morning, he put on the best decent clothes, and after a little meal, he hurried to this side of the house to ask for a meeting, but after he came, he was told that the master of this house had already ordered that there would be no guests in the morning, Yang Zhao wondered in his heart, and took a detour with the cover on the door for a long time, only then did he understand, but it turned out that this Li Xi was actually a person who was used to sleeping lazily, and he was absolutely unwilling to get up if he didn't go to three poles every day, so he had this rule coming out.

So in desperation, Yang Zhao had no choice but to go home, and after lunch, he came over early and waited.

The steward on the door went in to report for a while, but he didn't see a reply inside, Yang Zhao looked up and looked at the head, he was waiting a little timidly, lest he would come in the morning to provoke Li Xi's unhappiness, so he was a little anxious, but at this time, he happened to see a carriage coming, and he had already seen it from a distance, it must be Pei Yang's mansion.

The carriage came to the door of Li's house and stopped, and it was indeed Pei Yang's Yang Huanu and Ah Jin who came down. At that moment, Yang Zhao hurriedly went over to talk carefully, and scolded himself that he shouldn't come in the morning to disturb people's dreams, and he must ask Yang Huanu to say a lot of kind words and forgive him a little more.

In front of the servants at the door of Li's house, Yang Huahua didn't say a word, only nodded to indicate that she knew, and then went straight into the house, but she couldn't help but feel a little disdainful in her heart - what a big idea, she was actually afraid of being like this, and it was really an unbearable thing.

As everyone knows, she went in with her front foot, and Yang Zhao had already made a mistake with her back foot.

When my sister came to the Li family's house, she didn't need to report it to go straight to the door and enter the house, what kind of relationship does this have to be like this? Here's ...... Something else, right?

Soon after Pei Yang entered, someone inside came to call him, saying that the master of the family wanted to see him.

As soon as Yang Zhao heard this, he quickly put away the messy thoughts in his heart, and cautiously followed the servant in, until he reached the front hall, and then he looked up, and saw that his third sister was sitting opposite a young son, talking, he knew that it must be Li Xi, and quickly took small steps in, and his head was a big bow.

"The villain Yang Zhao has seen Li Gongzi."

Li Xi turned to look at him when he heard this, his heart had been messy last night, he didn't sleep well, and he seemed a little unenergetic today, so in the morning, Liu Lan and the third uncle Li Qiu were going to see Pei Yang's winery built outside the city, Li Xi was too lazy to go, just a person was stunned in a daze, but when he saw Yang Zhao this time, he suddenly felt that his eyes lit up, and he couldn't help but turn his head and praise Yang Huahua at the moment: "Young lady, Brother Ling is really a talent!" ”

Li Xi's words are true, Yang Zhao has a broad face and square face, with dignified eyebrows, and a strong and tall body, with a tiger and tiger style between his steps, and he has a heart-wrenching demeanor at first sight.

But Pei Yang's Yang Huahua only smiled faintly when she heard this, and did not speak.

No one knows what this cousin is better than her, to be honest, on the issue of whether to recommend him to Li Xi, not to mention that Ah Jin has opposed it several times, even she herself is hesitant. Until the end, first, he felt that he was his own family after all, and second, there was really no one around him, so he decided to recommend him to Li Xi.

Even so, she didn't dare to put Yang Zhao in the production area she was in charge of, but directly threw him to Li Xi's third uncle Li Qiu, an old businessman, she believed that with Li Qiu's eyes staring, Yang Zhao would definitely be able to pick out something wrong, so that he would not poke out any big baskets. And if you use it carefully, in fact, your cousin is not useless.

At that moment, Li Xi saw that she didn't answer, so he turned his head to look at Yang Zhao, who was humble, and casually picked up a few questions to ask him, after all, Yang Zhao has been in the market for many years, and he is smart and clever, Li Xi's few simple questions naturally can't be difficult for him, so the two sides only asked a few questions, and Li Xi was quite satisfied with him. At the moment, he said to Pei Yang's family: "I think Brother Ling is good, and I have the young lady's protection, I think so, my third uncle has a big stall over there, so let this Yang brother give my third uncle a hand, and when the new wine is brewed in the future, I will ask him to help my third uncle and take care of this piece, what does the young lady think?" ”

Pei Yang nodded, but still refused to speak, just thought about it for a while, and said: "These days, the concubine has learned some rumors on the market from the outside, according to the concubine, although there is still a period of time before our new wine is officially produced, but during this period of time, should we get less first, and sell it first?" ”

She counted them one by one with her fingers, and said: "One is a special supply, the amount is small, and the price can be set at a very high price, this is a profit, and the other is that although the wine tasting will be famous all of a sudden, everyone is good at forgetting, so it is better to continue to push it up and continue to fight the fame of this Jiannan Burning Spring." ”

Li Xi's eyes kept staring at her peeling onion-like fingers, and she unconsciously remembered the incident in her heart, until she finished coughing, Li Xi woke up, but suddenly thought of Wulan's matter, and couldn't help but feel a little troubled, he thought about it at the moment, nodded reluctantly, and said: "Nowadays, the social information is backward, but there is not the kind of thing that a new brand is a few days and you will forget if you don't see it for two days, so I think it is better to simply disappear and lose everyone's appetite. That's how the next big splash will be. But what...... Think about it carefully, what the young lady said is not unreasonable, so be it, uh, three to five jars of wine every day, specifically, leave it to my third uncle, he will take care of this piece. ”

After saying this, Li Xi turned his head to look at Yang Zhao, and said with a smile: "I still remember one thing, it is said that there is a masterpiece called "You Qingcheng Mountain", which was written by a person named Yang Zhao, dare to ask, is this Yang Zhao the other Yang Zhao?" ”

Pei Yang suddenly covered his mouth and chuckled when he heard this, and Ah Jin turned his head with disdain.

Yang Zhao's face was a little confused, and he said embarrassedly: "It's the villain Yang Zhao, uh, Li Gongzi smiled, smiled." ”

Li Xi laughed, and then as if he suddenly remembered something, patted his head, and asked the two of them in a sentence, "I suddenly remembered something, both of you are surnamed Yang, uh, I really want to inquire from you, have you brothers and sisters ever heard of a person who is also surnamed Yang and whose name is Yang Guozhong?" ”

Pei Yang was stunned when he heard this, glanced at Yang Zhao, and then shook his head at Li Xi.

Yang Zhao was also puzzled when he heard this, he lowered his head and thought for a while, and replied cautiously: "Returning to Gongzi, there are many branches of the Han family, and the surname Yang in the world is not in the same vein, and I don't know how many people are there, so at this time, this question of Gongzi is really difficult to answer, but as far as the villain knows, what he has seen and heard, at least there is no one named Yang Guozhong in our family." ”

Li Xi nodded "oh" when he heard this, he was stimulated by the fact that he called Wu Lan and Concubine Wu Hui, and suddenly remembered that the two people in front of him were surnamed Yang, so he simply asked, and he was not ready to ask anything at all.

Because he remembered in a trance that before Yang Guifei became famous, the Yang family seemed to have always been very down, and it was not until Yang Guifei was favored that their family became nouveau riche. So I want to come to their house now, it's not a famous family, it is estimated that it will be for a while, it's really hard to inquire, the idea of going over in advance to hug the thick legs and mix with the concubine party, I'm afraid that there will be a lot of ** to be lost.

At that moment, he shook his head and sighed in his heart, but just asked casually, "By the way, there is a girl named Yang Yuhuan, you don't know it?" ”

This time, Pei Yang's Yang Huahua glanced at Yang Zhao after hearing this, but found that each other's eyes were full of Nahan.

Yang Zhao hurriedly replied: "This Yang Yuhuan, but the villain knows it." ”

"Oh." Li Xi didn't react when he heard this, and he didn't come back to his senses until his words were out, and he couldn't help but be stunned, and then, he suddenly stood up and took a step forward, his eyes widened, and asked Yang Zhao: "Do you know Yang Yuhuan?" ”

Yang Zhao nodded, and didn't speak yet, but heard Pei Yang's Yang Huahua already say: "The jade slave is the little ninth sister of the concubine's mother's family, the small character jade slave, called Yuhuan in the boudoir, and is currently living in Luoyang's uncle's house." It's just that the concubine is wondering, how did Mr. Ziyue know about the small characters of my ninth sister? ”

Li Xi's eyes widened, swallowed a mouthful of saliva with difficulty, looked at Yang Zhao, and then looked at Pei Yang's Yang Huahua, seeing that their eyes were full of questions, Li Xi couldn't help but stretch out his hand, pointing at Pei Yang's and then at Yang Zhao, and suddenly stumbled a little when he spoke, and asked, "Are you sure, your ninth sister is called Yang Yuhuan?" She was...... Which Yang Yuhuan is it? Chubby? ”

After hearing this, Pei Yang's Yang Huahua and Yang Zhao said in unison, "Sure." ”

Then Pei Yang looked at Li Xi suspiciously, and said, "My ninth sister...... I haven't seen her for many years, but she was similar to Arthur when she was a child, and Mr. Ziyue has also seen it, and her body is plump. In addition, the person called Yang Yuhuan in this world is very much? The gentleman's question is puzzling. ”

Li Xi couldn't hear the words behind her, and she just thought in her heart, chubby, chubby......

After coming back to his senses, he looked at Yang Huahua, and then at Yang Guozhong, and he didn't know what he was thinking in his head, but his face looked like he was going to cry for a while, and then he seemed to be laughing for a while, and then, just when Pei Yang and Yang Zhao were a little puzzled, he suddenly looked at the two of them with a look of grievance, and that look, he was full of sorrow, and saw him trembling and reaching out to point at the two of them, and said silently: "You ......"

As soon as the two words came out, he fell on his back as if he had been sweated.
