Chapter 10: Halfway to Becoming a Monk
Ruan Yezhen glanced at Mo Yan with some surprise, and then moved her gaze to Xie Jinlan's body:
"Xie Jinlan, you little guy is really loyal to you, and he won't even question your decision! Moreover, he sees things better than those people. ”
When Xie Jinlan heard this, he glanced at Ruan Yezhen meaningfully and was silent.
Ruan Yezhen didn't understand what Xie Jinlan meant, but she knew that what he wanted to say would not be a good thing.
Thinking like this, Ruan Yezhen couldn't help but glared at Xie Jinlan's back fiercely......
It wasn't until he sat down in a private room in Pinxiangju and ordered Mo Yan to stay outside the door that Xie Jinlan opened his mouth to Ruan Yezhen:
"Helping others is love, not helping is duty. So, why should I help you? ”
Ruan Yezhen then understood why he stopped at that time before, and why he asked Mo Yan those questions. So he quickly took over:
"I'm not going to let you do this for nothing. What do you want? As long as I can do it, I will help you do it when I get back! ”
Xie Jinlan played with the cup in his hand and glanced at Ruan Yezhen undeniably: "Oh? Anything? ”
Ruan Yezhen instantly became vigilant: "As long as it's not something evil like murder and arson!" ”
Xie Jin approached abruptly and looked straight into Ruan Yezhen's eyes: "I want you, this is okay?" ”
Ruan Yezhen was stunned when she heard this, and the strange man's breath sprayed on the side of her face, making her cheeks turn red completely, and her eyes couldn't help but dodge: "This ...... This...... You...... I ......"
At this moment, Xie Jinlan returned to his original place, chuckled and poured himself a cup of tea: "Don't worry, I don't mean that to the girl at all." ”
Ruan Yezhen instantly understood what Xie Jinlan meant, and glared at him angrily: "Xie Jinlan, you are deliberately playing tricks on me!" ”
Xie Jinlan put down the teapot in his hand, clapped his palms very carelessly, and said, "The girl is so smart!" ”
Ruan Yezhen was angry, but she was helpless against him.
Since she was a child, she has never met such a hard-hearted and brazen person!
Why bother to lose your temper over trivial things, and think about it in retrospect. I am not angry when others are angry, and there is no one to replace me when I am angry. If I am angry, who will be happy? Besides, it's nerve-wracking and laborious......
After silently reciting "Don't Be Angry" a few times in her heart, Ruan Yezhen suppressed the anger in her heart.
"Xie Jinlan, then let's see! Let's see who can outperform in the end! ”
Ruan Yezhen gritted her teeth and dropped such a sentence, and began to recite the new article verses aloud.
Xie Jinlan didn't even frown, and tasted the tea in the cup very calmly......
As the sky gradually darkened, watching Xie Jinlan leisurely eating the dishes on the table, Ruan Yezhen's face faintly showed a little anxious.
"Xie Jinlan, this is the end of today, we will continue tomorrow!"
After hurriedly dropping such a sentence, Ruan Yezhen instantly floated away from Xie Jinlan and walked straight through the door.
Ruan Yezhen's panicked appearance when she left made Xie Jinlan look right.
Suddenly, Xie Jinlan showed a thoughtful look.
With a slight blink of his eyes, Xie Jinlan suddenly collected the emotions in his eyes, put down the chopsticks in his hand, and shouted loudly: "Mo Yan!" ”
The next moment, Mo Yan pushed the door in and asked with a smile, "What does Childe command?" ”
Xie Jinlan took out a handkerchief from his arms and gently wiped the corners of his mouth, and then said, "Go and call someone to settle the bill." ”
"Yes, Childe." Mo Yan left in response.
The price of the dishes is high. Most of the people who can dine in the elegant room are either rich or expensive.
Although Lin'an County is located in a remote area, most of the people are poor. But those local squires are still very rich. They always have all kinds of means to make money for themselves.
That is why Pinxiangju can have a place in Lin'an County, and even become the first of many restaurants in Lin'an County!
After being the shopkeeper in Pinxiangju for so many years, the shopkeeper Chen has long developed a pair of fiery eyes.
Whoever really has a family background, and who is a swollen face and a fat man, he sees it all really.
Although he didn't know the identity of this golden and blue boy.
But from the clothes on the other party, as well as his words and deeds, Shopkeeper Chen was sure that this person's identity was not ordinary.
Therefore, every time Jin Lan Gongzi came over for dinner, he never dared to slack off.
When he came to the private room, Shopkeeper Chen asked with a smile: "Is Jin Gongzi still satisfied with today's meal?" ”
The attitude is neither too enthusiastic, but also not too casual.
Xie Jinlan nodded lightly, and the corners of his mouth hooked slightly: "Master Pinxiangju's craftsmanship is getting more and more sophisticated." ”
When Shopkeeper Chen heard this, the smile on his face became more obvious: "Jin Gongzi has won the award." I'm here to thank the kitchen chefs for Mr. Kim. ”
Xie Jinlan glanced at the leftovers on the table.
Before he could say anything, Shopkeeper Chen opened his mouth in a timely manner:
"Our owner has already confessed, saying that Jin Gongzi, you are a distinguished guest of Pinxiangju, and in the future, whenever you come to eat, it will be a 20% discount."
Xie Jinlan was not surprised, and a gentle smile appeared on his face: "Then thank you to the owner of Pinxiangju." ”
Such a pampered and unfazed posture made Shopkeeper Chen even more certain: the identity of the man in front of him must be extraordinary!
......
In the master bedroom of the inner courtyard of the county government, after Xie Jinlan changed into his bedclothes, he seemed to open his mouth casually:
"What happened to the news that the official asked you to inquire about today?"
Mo Yan hung his head slightly, looking a little embarrassed: "Back to my lord, Mo Yan asked Lin Yanzuo, but Lin Yanzuo couldn't say why." ”
Xie Jinlan paused when he went to bed, and his eyebrows twisted slightly: "What did Lin Cheng say?" ”
Mo Yan glanced at Xie Jinlan quietly, and then said:
Lin said that he was a halfway monk. It was also the first time he had been involved in a murder case in so many years. The problems that can be seen from the corpse are already the result of his repeated review of the classics and the records of his predecessors. He's done his best. ”
Xie Jinlan sat at the head of the bed, his eyes drooping slightly, his fingers tapped the brocade quilt on his body, and he didn't know what he was thinking.
In Mo Yan's somewhat unexplained waiting, Xie Jinlan threw out a few words a little casually: "You go down first." ”
"Yes, sir."
Mo Yan was full of doubts, and was just about to leave with his feet raised, but he inadvertently caught a glimpse of the brocade box placed on the dresser, and his footsteps couldn't help but stop.
Then he turned around and looked at Xie Jinlan: "My lord, is that jade pendant going to be put away?" ”
Xie Jinlan's gaze then fell on the brocade box: "Open it and take a look." ”
"Yes."
Mo Yan said, took the brocade box and walked to the bedside, and then gently opened the brocade box in front of Xie Jinlan's eyes.
Xie Jinlan glanced at it casually, but paused with some surprise: "I didn't expect to see such a high-quality jade pendant in Lin'an County." ”
Then he glanced at Mo Yan: "Put it away." ”
"Yes, sir."
Mo Yan carefully put away the brocade box, and after placing the jade pendant properly, he left the room.
It wasn't until Mo Yan had left for a long time that Xie Jinlan sighed inaudibly: "That's it, don't be in a hurry in this matter." I should have started elsewhere. ”
