020. Kneel on the washboard

Xian'er's eyes widened when she heard this, and Ling Ran noticed her expression, so she glanced at her.

When the old man heard this, he was immediately happy, and looked Ling Ran up and down, a trace of light flashed across his eyes, but he quickly recovered his previous sad face, "But this master, these antiques are treasures handed down from the old man's ancestors, and the prices are expensive, are you sure you want to buy them all?" ”

Ling Ran noticed the flash of light in the old man's eyes, so he squatted down, carefully picked up the antiques in turn, and looked at them carefully.

After observing for a long time, she suddenly spoke, "This uncle, I see that these antiques of yours, although the patterns are very delicately carved, the patterns and colors are also designed to be ingenious······ However, these antiques, no, porcelain, may have only been produced in recent years. ”

Everyone sighed. Ling Ran watched the rich expression change on the old man's face, and he was even more convinced of the conjecture in his heart.

"You ······" The old man was stunned for a moment, pestle his cane and said sharply, "How do you say this?" ”

"First," Ling Ran put away the folding fan, paced in front of the old man, and analyzed in an orderly manner, "In terms of shape and material, your porcelain is basically the same as the freshly fired porcelain placed in the ceramic shop opposite,—— whether it is in terms of color, thickness, pattern, or style, this can be confirmed." ”

The corners of the old man's mouth twitched slightly, and he was about to say something, but Ling Ran continued to talk about it, without giving him a chance to interject at all.

"Second, in terms of weight, the older the objects of the same type, the lighter they are, but the few porcelains you have here are so heavy, how can they be antiques that have been treasured for hundreds of years?" The old man looked at Ling Ran in disbelief, trembling and taking a few steps back, holding on to the wall before he let himself fall.

"Thirdly, and most importantly, assuming that the first two points of Ben Gongzi are wrong, then, do you think a person would be so stupid as to dare to put such a valuable item on the side of the street as a thing under the circle of the five-yuan ring game?"

For a while, there was thunderous applause all around, and Xian'er and the woman in yellow were particularly enthusiastic, and the eyes of the woman in yellow were already full of admiration for Ling Ran.

"Everybody's saying, aren't they?" Ling Ran shouted at the people around him.

"Yes!"

"Yes! Are you embarrassed to say it's your family's ancestral treasure?! ”

Echoing, questioning, and insulting suddenly erupted.

The old man's eyes widened suddenly, and he picked up his crutches and pointed at everyone with a trembling mind, only to feel that his breathing had become a little difficult, his eyes were black, his body was weak, and he fell to the ground.

However, the invective of the spectators did not subside.

At this time, the woman in yellow suddenly rushed to the old man's side, and ordered a few acupuncture points of the old man with good training, and then, under everyone's surprised gaze, the old man slowly opened his eyes.

However, when he sat up under the support of the woman in yellow, a tear flowed from the corner of his eye, and the anger and resentment that had been caused by being exposed disappeared, but he sighed helplessly like an aggrieved child, "This business is really impossible······ What can I do with my family······"

Ling Ran sighed, if he hadn't deceived people too much, how could she have done such a desperate job.

She was about to step forward to comfort the old man for a few words, but she heard the sound of hurried horses' hooves behind her, followed by the unprepared yellow dust flying in the sky.

Ling Ran hurriedly covered her mouth and nose with her cuffs, and turned to look at it with some curiosity, but when she caught a glimpse of the heroic man at the head, she couldn't help but have a trace of shock in her eyes.

She quickly turned around and buried her head down, hoping that she would not be discovered by that person at this moment.

On horseback, Chu Yijun first saw the woman in yellow supporting the old man at a glance, but then, his eyes fell on the white figure in the center of the crowd who turned around quickly, and his handsome eyebrows couldn't help frowning slightly, but he didn't do anything, he raised his whip on the horse's back, sped up his speed and ran straight towards King Xuan's mansion.

Listening to the sound of the horse's hooves gradually moving away, Ling Ran breathed a sigh of relief, stepped forward to appease the old man for a few words, stuffed a handful of silver tickets in his arms, and walked towards Xian'er without looking back, rushing all the way back to the house.

——————

Evening.

Ling Ran had already changed back into her women's clothes at this time, she raised her feet and walked towards Xuan Cao Pavilion, but she didn't want to, Chu Yijun had already sat down in the courtyard, as if she had been waiting for her for a long time.

And in front of him, there was a group of guards who didn't even dare to come out.

"Women dressed as men, can you have fun?" Chu Yijun said coldly, and Ling Ran couldn't help but sink slightly in his heart when he heard this, "Do you still know to come back?" ”

"It seems that the prince does not welcome the concubine to return to the house, so it is better to write a letter of resignation to me, so that we can just be out of sight and out of mind." Ling Ran looked at the anger in his eyes, but he didn't feel the slightest fear.

In this deceitful place, she wished to leave early, did he think that she would also squeeze her head like other women and wanted to squeeze into this Xuan Palace?

"Don't think that this king doesn't dare," Chu Yijun casually played with the night pearl in his hand, "It's just that before that matter is achieved, this king will never divorce you, not to mention," he stood up suddenly, walked towards Ling Ran, hooked her chin, looked at this peerless beauty condescendingly, and smiled evilly, "Don't forget, you still owe this king a life." ”

Ling Ran smiled coldly, "I see," he pulled out the saber pinned to his waist and stabbed it into his shoulder, "I'll give it back to you now." ”

However, Chu Yijun's eyes were quick, and in an instant, he caught her acupuncture point, causing the sword in Ling Ran's hand to hang just one centimeter in front of her, and then it fell to the ground with a sharp and cold sound.

Ye Xun on the side hurriedly picked up the sword and inserted it back into the scabbard next to Chu Yijun's waist.

Chu Yijun, on the other hand, hugged Ling Ran horizontally, the smile in his dark eyes had disappeared, he stared down at Ling Ran's face with his eyes closed for a long time, but his heart was beating the drum uncontrollably.

God knows, the moment Ling Ran just drew his sword and stabbed at him, he actually felt a little nervous.

The case hadn't been cleared up yet, and he shouldn't have reacted that way, should he?

Chu Yijun shook his head to himself, hugged Ling Ran's body, jumped upward, and disappeared into the courtyard, and then appeared in the Lily of the Valley Pavilion.

When Ling Ran woke up again, it was already three poles of the sun.

She opened her eyes, surveyed her surroundings, and sat up suddenly.

"Miss, are you awake?" Xian'er, who was sweeping the ground on the side, saw that Ling Ran had woken up, so she hurriedly went to get breakfast and brought it over.

"Xian'er, where are we?"

Xian'er smiled, "Miss just lived back where Miss was supposed to live,—— Lily of the Valley Pavilion." ”

"I ······ Where should I live? Ling Ran frowned and repeated.

"Yes, this is a place where only concubines can live," Seeing Ling Ran's expression change, Xian'er hurriedly added, "But now Miss lives as a concubine." ”

Ling Ran hurriedly breathed a sigh of relief, blaming himself for having that kind of thought.

"Wash up and eat, you'll have to ······ later." Xian'er glanced at Ling Ran a little helplessly, took a deep breath, and then continued, "Kneeling on the washboard." ”

"What? Kneeling washboard? Ling Ran was stunned, what did she do······ She didn't do anything!
