Chapter 11: Affectionate Bamboo Essence Is Not Affectionate (11)
"This is a living roe deer, very fresh, now slaughtered and killed, the meat is absolutely tender, five taels of silver is not expensive."
The sound of bargaining lingered in her ears, Zhang Xin'er couldn't help but shake her ears, and opened her eyes slowly, her eyes were confused, where was she? How could there be such a noisy sound.
"This roe deer is very fresh, our lord just happened to entertain distinguished guests today, but five taels of silver is too expensive. What's more, this roe deer is lying on the ground, and I don't know if it's healthy or not, so I'll give you three taels of silver at most. The cook of the Zhong family looked at the roe deer on the ground and frowned, five taels of silver is too expensive, let's cut it down again! She can still earn some of the rest of the money.
"That's not good, four taels of silver is too little, I'm a live roe deer, not the kind of roe deer that Orion has injured or even killed, at least four taels of silver." When the old farmer heard this, he immediately shook his head, this is something he finally met, and he may not have such luck in the future, so he must take a good get.
How can there be so many good things in the sky that fall from the pie in the sky, this time he is lucky, and he may not be able to meet it next time. What's more, he also asked about the price, like this live roe deer, four or five taels of silver is about the same.
"Alright! Cheap for you. The cook's face was new and reluctant, in fact, she had already smiled in her heart, four taels of silver, she could still earn two taels of silver!
Zhang Xin'er's brain gradually came out of the chaos, she shook her head, stood up with four hooves, and then found that she had unconsciously returned to her original shape. When I looked up, there were still a few logs in the square sky, oh my God! When was I in a cage?
This is amazing, Zhang Xin'er immediately widened her eyes in fright, God, am I being arrested? I can't regain my human form in front of everyone, am I going to be eaten like this?
At this time, Zhang Xin'er finally understood her situation, and wanted to cry without tears, only to see a fat cook standing not far away, holding a kitchen knife in her hand and looking at her with bright eyes.
"I didn't expect the roe deer to look quite energetic, rest assured, the old lady will definitely make you very delicious later, so that you will die happily?" The cook reached out and patted the cage, and her big fan-like hand shook the cage twice, and then showed a 'kind' smile.
Please don't laugh, thank you! You're laughing at me, and I'm even more scared. Also, what is the joy of dying? Who can die happily? Zhang Xin'er secretly complained in her heart, and at the same time thought about how to escape.
Brother Tao, why haven't you shown up yet? Wouldn't you show up in time to save me? Zhang Xin'er called in her heart.
Perhaps it was Zhang Xin'er's call that played a role, Xue Lan just went to Zhong's house with Zhong Ling at this time, and was warmly welcomed by Master Zhong.
"The arrival of Tao Gongzi really made the wall of the humble house shine, last time Tao Gongzi saved the little girl, I haven't had time to thank him, thank you Tao Gongzi for appreciating his face."
Master Zhong Yuanshan's appearance is handsome and elegant, with a beautiful beard, he looks very gentle, and his speech is also very beautiful.
"Ling'er, why are you still wearing men's clothes at home? Don't hurry up and change your clothes, what kind of body is your daughter's family. Zhong Yuanshan looked at Zhong Ling again, frowned and reprimanded. However, it can be seen from the benefits in his eyebrows that he is not angry, but is full of doting on his daughter.
"Yes, I'll go first." Zhong Ling nodded, it was obvious that he was used to it, and then went back to the boudoir. Hanging around the street in men's clothes is already the limit for her, a lady.
"Master Tao, please come with the old man." Zhong Yuanshan straightened his beard, and then smiled and invited Xue Lan to go to the study with him.
The Zhong family's study is very atmospheric and elegant, which is very consistent with Zhong Yuanshan's temperament, full of bookish atmosphere. Xue Lan found a place to sit down and didn't speak, just picked it up and took a sip in a daze, waiting for Zhong Yuanshan to speak.
"Tao Gongzi, the old man believes that you are a smart person, since this is the case, the old man will open the skylight and say something. The little girl is very fond of Tao Gongzi, I don't know what Xiao Tao Gongzi thinks? Finally, Zhong Yuanshan couldn't hold his breath, took a sip of tea, took a sip of tea, cleared his throat and spoke.
Xue Lan glanced at Zhong Yuanshan, Zhong Yuanshan is still a gentle and kind father at this moment, at least he has not been tempted by ** now. Her task is to make Zhong Ling happy for the rest of her life, and this happiness is not all the happiness of marriage, but also the happiness of the family, and Zhong Yuanshan is also an indispensable role.
If Zhong Yuanshan can stop the precipice in time, she may be able to help him and let him continue to be his loving father and be his richest man in Wei County, if she doesn't want to, she can only take extreme measures.
"The important thing is not what Tao Xuelan thinks, I'm afraid it depends on Master Zhong's own thoughts." Xue Lan opened the fan and was personable.
"What do you mean by this?" Zhong Yuanshan frowned, he always felt that there was something different in Chong Xuelan's words.
"Master Zhong said before that Ming people don't say dark things, since you said so, then I will also open the skylight and say bright words. Master Zhong should be able to see that Tao is not a human, right? In that case, why are you pretending to be confused?" Xue Lan sat on a chair and took another sip of wine.
"The old man doesn't understand what Tao Gongzi means by this?" Zhong Yuanshan's heart jumped, but he still didn't want to admit it.
"Master Zhong used to be a cultivator, so he could naturally see that Tao was not an ordinary human being, but a bamboo spirit who had cultivated for thousands of years. You should know which is right and which is wrong, you betrayed your master back then, and now you still don't give up, and want to pursue immortality? Xue Lan snorted coldly, and the folding fan in her hand shook and shook.
Zhong Yuanshan's face immediately sank, he didn't expect that everything he tried to hide would be exposed like this, so he didn't want to hide it anymore.
"What do you want?" Zhong Yuanshan's face was not good, and he spoke in a deep voice.
"Hand over what you stole back then, and be an ordinary person with peace of mind in the future." Xue Lan squinted her eyes and looked at the folding fan in her hand, as if she could see a flower.
"Impossible." Zhong Yuanshan immediately refused, he had paid so much just to pursue immortality, how could he give up so easily? One step away, he will be able to live forever.
"What immortality is a lie, don't you understand? Unless you want to become a demon like me. Xue Lan laughed, an enchantment covered the study, and people outside couldn't notice the movement inside, let alone break in.
"Nope." Zhong Yuanshan had a calm face, it was absolutely impossible for him to give up his pursuit for many years.
"Since you are obsessed, then I can only be rude." Xue Lan snorted coldly, and the folding fan in her hand turned into a sharp blade and rushed towards Zhong Yuanshan, cutting his sleeve open.
