14 Exchange the land for jade

... It's another fierce battle without gunpowder, after a big gamble. Evil Xiaoqi seemed to have fallen into the scorching Wuji again, and his consciousness was withdrawn from his body little by little...... There was a feeling of pain left in a certain part of the body, and the thought that it would be there forever was a dull pain, and the thought of Xiaoyang's bright smile would dim because of that little pain.

I'm afraid that it will be difficult to see Xiaoyang again in the future, Evil Xiaoqi touched the empty pocket and thought sadly.

The evil Xiaoqi, whose eyes were red like blood, finally staked the title deed of the evil family's old courtyard, and lost all his blood. With a hint of melancholy of loss, he left behind the most shining extravagance and impetuousness in the dark night of singing and dancing...

"How is this good, the eldest man has been out for a few days. The little young master poked a big leak. ”

"Yes, that Jia Huai is not a fuel-efficient lamp at first glance. I was about to stop him, but when I saw those eyes, I was so scared that I couldn't even speak. ”

"When two tigers fight, one will be injured. ”

"Don't grow the ambition of others and destroy your own prestige. No matter how powerful Jia Huai is, when he meets the second master of our family, I am afraid that he will not be able to find his way home. ”

At the foot of the front steps of the main hall of the evil mansion and on the bluestone road by the garden, groups of people and maids gathered under the trees in front of the flowers and whispered in a low voice. The cramped and uneasy gaze glanced in the direction of the main hall from time to time, and the look of fear on his face was no less than seeing a tiger.

Jia Huai, known as the "Tiger Master", has always been low-key, but it adds a bit of mystery. Even Sima Nan, the chief housekeeper of the evil family who reads countless people and is good at observing words and feelings, can't help but sigh secretly, a person's knowledge and experience can't be pretended, no matter how young people pretend to be calm, they can let people with a heart see the clues. Jia Huai is not a simple person, otherwise he would not have the unfathomable meaning that cannot be seen.

Opposite Jia Huai sat a middle-aged man with a white round face and gentle eyebrows. Although he has no need to pay lip, his reputation is like thunder in the business community of Jincheng, whether it is a market vendor or a pawn on the side street, almost no one does not know that the second uncle of the evil family, Xie Mu'an, is gentle and elegant on the surface, but in fact, he is thoughtful and thoughtful, and he is even more thoughtful in his words and deeds. Soft with steel in the smile hidden needle, a typical smiling tiger.

Sima Nan stood behind Evil Mu'an, watched Jia Huai turn around and saw him slightly stunned, as if he didn't expect him to be there, and then frowned.

With this subtle body language alone, Sima Nan could guess that the old fox had made up his mind and swore not to give up until he reached his goal.

Jia Huai pursed his lips, lowered his eyes and whispered: "If the old lady ...... You know?"

"The old lady will know sooner or later, thanks to the holy reward. Originally, the site of the evil mansion was in the old courtyard, and the later expanded mansions were much better than the old mansions in terms of location and layout. It's just that the old lady has been living there since she retired from the palace, and she has long regarded the old mansion as her home. If you want to reclaim the house, you have to go through the old lady's pass. ”

Jia Huai looked helplessly at Evil Mu'an, who looked as resolute as iron, raised his hand and rubbed his forehead, looking like he had an incomparably headache.

Seeing the eyes of Master Jia who turned his head and handed it over, the little maid who had been standing for a long time immediately took out a yellowed paper raft wrapped with red silk from his sleeve, dismantled the red silk with a slight tremble, and carefully unfolded it.

... The seal engraves the end of the deed of the evil mansion, and the cover of the Jinzhou Mansion is three inches, the square system, the seal body, and the official seal of the red impressive.

The fly-headed wild grass in the lower right corner, the three words "Evil Little Seven" are also dancing with dragons and phoenixes, revealing uninhibited wind and bones. You don't need to make sure it's your handwriting.

Just like there is only one evil Xiaoqi in the world, no one in Jincheng can imitate this person's handwriting.

As if this man was born to find trouble, Evil Mu'an rubbed his temples with two fingers, and then pressed the top of his head with the knuckle of his index finger for a while. The name "Evil Little Seven" made his headache happen again, and the trouble he caused this time was very tricky. The evil boss was not there, which just gave Jia Huai an opportunity. I don't know what kind of medicine this old thing sells in the gourd?

"Master Jia, the second master is not very comfortable today. Wouldn't it be better for you to do this? Let us discuss with the old lady in two or three days, and give you a satisfactory answer at once. You don't know the credibility of our evil family..."Sima Nan saw that this was a well-documented contract, a transaction that had been negotiated with a pen, and no one could fail to be honest. In the future, if one party wants to tear up this contract, it means that it will do whatever it takes to make a big deal. It is even more difficult to get to the state government, and I can see the intention of the second master. Sima Nan lost no time in delaying the army.

Two days later, when he came to visit, the old man said goodbye first. Jia Huai got up and said goodbye with his fists clenched, and walked out of the path leading to the gate of the evil mansion, the painful expression of the evil herd An appeared in his mind, and he couldn't help but feel a little proud in his heart.

...... "How is the old lady's health lately? This house has not been repaired for a long time, and the environment is relatively cold and damp, and it is prone to rheumatism and bone disease. The old lady might as well move to the east courtyard for the time being, where the air is fresh and close to the temple on the mountain, so that the lady can pray for the Buddha. With a glimmer of hope, Evil Mu'an came to the old lady's house. found that the old lady was very tough although she was getting older, and even he felt that the reason was far-fetched after saying this.

The old lady was kind and kind-eyed, squinted her eyes slightly, twisted the Buddha beads, and sat quietly on top of the round collapse. For a moment, the originally squinted eyes suddenly opened, and he said slowly with a smile in his eyes: "So what's the matter, the Zen master said: "The verdant bamboo is full of Dharma bodies, and the lush yellow flowers are nothing more than the same." This is not to say that the green bamboo and yellow flowers have Buddha nature, but to say that we have to break all the differences and secret barriers of the ten directions and the three worlds. You are too young, always clinging to being affectionate or being ruthless. You must know that everything in the world is false. ”

I originally planned to use the renovation of the old residence to invite the old lady out, but delayed for a year and a half until the old lady got used to the new residence, and slowly told her the truth.

The old lady's inexplicable Buddhist Zen words, whether it was deliberate prevarication or deliberate, instinctively told Evil Mu'an that this matter would definitely not make sense.

The moon hung on the eaves, and the evil shepherd left the old mansion in the starlight.

Sima Nan waited in the inner hall and only glanced at Evil Mu'an. You don't have to ask anything to get it all in.

"There is a doorman named Ma Wu in Jiafu who was originally mixed with the underworld, and the old nephew who is not talented happens to have some friendship with this person. If peace is made from it, there should be some relief. Maybe it can be delayed for a few days until the eldest master returns. It's a lot easier. ”

"That's a good idea, but I don't know who this Ma Wu is, does it have any weight to speak in Jia's house?"

It is said that Ma Wu once saved Jia Huai's life, Jia Huai not only bought him a homestead, but also received a monthly salary in Jiafu, which was second only to the big housekeeper. It can be seen that his status in Jia Mansion is not low. Sima Nan said quietly.

"Then quickly contact Ling Xian's nephew and prepare some gifts to pay respects. and prepare more silver for Ma Wu, people who walk the rivers and lakes are very greedy for money. Evil Mu'an looked at Sima Nan, and the gloom in his eyes spread out to reveal a bright light.

When the sun was up, Sima Nan hurried back.

"Early this morning, the little nephew went to find Ma Wu. This Ma Wu is also a cheerful person, and immediately hit the horse and ran to Jiafu. After calming down his rapid gasping slightly, Sima Nan continued: "Jia Huai promised not to accept the old mansion, but he put forward a harsh condition. ”

Evil Mu'an couldn't help but feel a little uneasy. The eyes staring at the candlelight froze slightly.

"Jia Huai proposed, as long as we handed over the jade pendant of the inner palace of the evil family's pawnshop. The title deed was written off. ”

Thinking of the incident last time, Sima Nan still had palpitations. If it weren't for the eldest lord entering the palace to mediate, the palace agreed to postpone the treatment. If it is a person with ill intentions, it may not be possible to use the jade pendant to make a big fuss. While he was speculating, he saw the second old man lying on the desk and waved his hand, and sighed: "That's it, let's get through the difficulties in front of me first." Tomorrow... No... Now go to the pawnshop and get that jade pendant..."
