216 Conspiracy (M)
There are a lot of people in the Qu family, and all the way to the past are all subordinate Yahuan old mothers and the like, originally these after Qu Baiyan said that Lin Xi already knew something and felt nothing, but after he really came here and saw it, he couldn't help but feel a little angry, similar to ...... The strange feeling of seclusion in a large family?
As soon as he walked to the main hall, a group of people greeted him with a shout, full of "how are you doing white smoke", "are you hurt by white smoke", and of course, there are also those who call brother and young master, Lin Xi consciously heard the word white smoke.
They almost reached out and pulled Qu Baiyan over and over again to confirm that they were not injured, and then Qu Baiyan stopped it in time so that there was no situation of picking clothes and pants on the spot, and since he was not injured, the focus should be shifted to his life-saving benefactor, Lin Xi.
is still attacking in groups, compared to them rushing up and pulling her like this or distressed or grateful or envious or jealous and hateful to say all kinds of words of thanks, Lin Xi deeply felt that the previous group of robbers was much cuter, at least she could make them shut up in a few tricks, but in front of them, she didn't know how to refuse and get out of it at all.
During this period, there were two older fathers and mothers who seemed to be Qu Baiyan, who were also not stable at all, and looked at her with a group of juniors looking at her as a "daughter-in-law", and held on to her tightly, as if they were treating prisoners for fear that she would escape.
"Okay!!" A sudden roar made the entire main hall instantly quiet, and everyone was subconsciously silenced and then looked at Qu Baiyan who made a sound, and I don't know if she was wrong or what, there was still some fear in those eyes?
When Lin Xi was hesitantly trying to see what was going on, the group of people had already returned to normal, and after pretending to joke with each other unintentionally, they dispersed one after another, leaving only the two elderly men and women who were suspected of being Qu Baiyan's parents. The man in the dark yellow brocade robe coughed lightly, put on an elder posture and said to Qu Baiyan quite kindly: "Since it is Baiyan your guest, then this girl will be entertained by you, and your mother and I will be busy with your eldest brother's marriage." ”
Qu Baiyan completely lost the majestic demeanor that he had just stopped, and had regained his warm and smiling face, and said with a bow: "I know, my father and mother should be busy." ”
Then the two of them said a few more words to Lin Xi before leaving with a smile on their faces, and only Qu Baiyan and Lin Xi were left in the main hall...... It's really a hurry to come and go.
Seeing the two of them walking away, Qu Baiyan shook his head helplessly, turned to look at Lin Xi and smiled apologetically: "I'm sorry, my family's character is like this, please take care of the girl more...... There is also a reluctant request, I don't know if the girl can agree. ”
Lin Xi first shook his head and said that it was okay, and then said, "What's the matter?" Just say it, as long as I can do it. "The so-called heavy remuneration has not been paid, so she doesn't want to leave now.
Qu Baiyan's eyes lit up at first, and then he looked at her with a little caution and said: "The girl also heard it just now, tomorrow is the day my eldest brother gets married, if she can, can the girl take a break in the house for a while, and it will not be too late to leave after attending the wedding banquet tomorrow." ”
Is this to invite her to drink a wedding wine? Lin Xi was stunned for a moment, and then thought that this day was almost over, and it should not be too much time to finish tomorrow in half a day at most, so he hesitated and nodded under Qu Baiyan's expectant eyes and said, "Okay, just stay until tomorrow." ”
"Thank you girl, I believe that my eldest brother will be very happy to know that you are willing to stay, after all, he hurts me the most, and my life-saving benefactor should wait to be scolded if he doesn't let him see it." Qu Baiyan's eyes flashed with excitement as he spoke, and then when he saw Lin Xi, he didn't say anything, just smiled at him and remembered: "By the way, after a long day's journey, the girl must be hungry and tired, I'll send you to the guest room to rest first, and then arrange for the kitchen to make some food and send it over?" ”
It's a bit inappropriate to get it yourself when you get to someone else's house, Lin Xi nodded and said, "Okay." ”
Lin Xi thought that the so-called guest room in his mouth was just a vacant room, but he didn't expect it to be a separate courtyard, in addition to a wing room, there are two small cubicles next to it, which seem to be prepared for the serving maid, and a willow tree is planted in the yard, and a circle of flower beds comes out next to it, and some plain white and elegant small flowers and bones are bloomed. There is also a small pavilion against the wall, which can be used for people to cool off in summer and bask in the sun in winter. It doesn't look like a guest room at all, but rather like a small courtyard for some character in the owner's house.
The wing room is also quite large, there are two Taishi chairs in the center of the upper part separated by a coffee table table, and in the middle is a round table that can sit for five or six people, separated by translucent screens on both sides, with a bed and dresser on one side, and a soft couch and wardrobe on the other side.
It doesn't look like a guest room anymore!
The kitchen of Qufu is very efficient, and not long after Qu Baiyan ordered him to go down, someone came over with a few food boxes to set the table. Three dishes and one soup, three plates of dim sum, two bowls of rice, and a pot of wine, all of which are steaming, quite a bit like an ordinary family eating.
Seeing that Qu Baiyan hadn't left Lin Xi before, he knew that he was going to stay and eat together, but what he didn't expect was that after eating, Qu Baiyan actually offered to take her to pick things together...... That is to say, I want to reward her with the heavy gift I said before.
Seeing that she was stunned, Qu Baiyan explained: "If you want to send what the girl likes, if you pick it at random and pick something that doesn't suit the girl's heart, wouldn't it be a discordant thanks?" ”
"Uh...... "Thank you is also sincere and insincere, in fact, as long as it is money, she likes it...... Lin Xi secretly complained to himself, but his face was as kind as a stream: "Since Gongzi Qu has said so, then I might as well be respectful." ”
Qu Baiyan took her directly to the treasury of Qu Mansion, which was similar to the warehouse that Lin Xi had seen in Huang Mansion before, the only difference was that the former was probably twice as large as the latter, right?
However, it is a pity that in addition to real money, the treasury of the Qu family is some good-looking jewelry and clothes that are completely decorative, and there are antique calligraphy and paintings that are completely a pile of garbage for players. Lin Xi is not good as long as the money, so he symbolically asked for two pieces of fabric, one is lavender embroidered with orchid patterns, and the other is milky white embroidered with begonia patterns, the market for good-looking and attributed clothes must be very good, and it is not bad to take them out to make two sets of clothes for the full-time tailors of Jianyu Pavilion. I went to get a few more gadgets, thinking that I could use them to bribe NPCs or something in the future, as for antique calligraphy and paintings, she also picked a vase and a painting, anyway, it doesn't hurt if she has a big bag and a lot of things, it will be the best to come in handy in the future, and it doesn't matter if it's useless.
These things are easy to ask, but the money she wants most is not easy to ask. Lin Xi glanced at the locked stone door quietly, retracted his eyes slightly reluctantly, and chose not to mention it for the time being: "That's all." ”
Qu Baiyan nodded, and did not force her to take more, but turned his head to the housekeeper on the side and said lightly: "Open the treasury and take out five hundred taels of gold." ”
Ahh Finally mentioning money? Lin Xi was overjoyed, but his face was as calm as water, and he stood calmly as if he hadn't heard anything.
However, she was disappointed in the next second, and the old housekeeper said with some embarrassment: "Second young master, you also know that the mansion has spent a lot of money for the marriage of the eldest young master, and the account has not been collected this year, so I am afraid that I will not be able to make it up until tomorrow after receiving the gift money." ”
"...... like this" Qu Baiyan frowned and hesitated for a moment, and then smiled bitterly at Lin Xi: "It's Qu who didn't think thoughtfully, and he will definitely keep his promise tomorrow and reward the girl with a lot of money, and please don't mind the girl." ”
Anyway, she also has to stay until tomorrow before leaving, it doesn't make a difference if she gives it early or late, as for whether they come together to give it is none of her business, after all, no matter how you look at Qufu, it doesn't look like a family that can't live without five hundred taels of gold, right? Lin Xi nodded and said, "It's okay, I happen to be attending your eldest brother's wedding banquet tomorrow, so I'm not in a hurry for this moment." ”
Hearing this, Qu Baiyan couldn't help but smile with relief: "The girl is really good at talking...... Then I'll send the girl back to the room, I'm tired for a long time, and it's time to rest for a while. ”
"Hmm." Lin Xi nodded without objection.
And Lin Xi, who turned around and followed Qu Baiyan out, if he looked back at this time, he could see that the old butler was smiling inexplicably, and at the same time holding the key to open the stone door, and the door was only opened through a gap, and a dazzling golden light pierced his eyes...... And when you look inside, you can see that the room is full of golden ingots and gold bars, and there is no white at all.
