Chapter 37: Snooping
Originally, I thought that if she changed her body, the amount of alcohol would be a little worse, but she had never been drunk during these days with the Four Winds North Ling drinking and corruption, so she could only say that her alcohol addiction simply came out of her soul, and even Qiao Xinglian's foundation was not bad.
The old man seemed to be very fond of this little girl who knew how to drink, and the two of them sat at the corner of the alley and had a match, and they even talked about it.
Xinglian listened while drinking, occasionally interjecting a sentence or two to ask, but he learned some things from this outsider that she hadn't been able to understand.
After staying in Qiao's Mansion for a long time, I saw only one Qiao Shiman, it turned out that Qiao Ningxi, another daughter of the family, was practicing with a master of Xuan Lingqi outside, and the boss Qiao Liuyun was also an important minister of the imperial court, and he rarely went to the back garden on weekdays, so it was normal not to see him.
In addition to these three people, there is only the fourth child left in the Qiao family, Qiao Muyun.
Xing Lian carried the second jar of wine from Kaifeng, and was about to pour it into the old man's cup, but was stopped, "Ouch, the little girl's amount of wine is not comparable to that of the old man, and if she drinks again, she will be drunk." "Don't look at this wine as if it's not intoxicating, but it's full of stamina.
She was not reluctant, she simply carried the jar and poured it directly into her mouth, "What about Qiao Muyun?" Where did he go? ”
I heard that Qiao Muyun was also born to Hua Wei, and she is the brother of the same mother, but after returning to Qiao's Mansion for so long, I always feel that there is no such person in the Qiao family.
Most of her memories have been erased, and many things can't be connected, of course she can't ask about this kind of thing in Qiao's mansion, so ...... Sitting at the mouth of this alley and talking to this old man, in fact, it was also calculated by Xinglian.
Ruoyan has been standing aside and listening quietly, and when he heard this mysterious fourth elder of the Qiao family, he couldn't help but be curious, and his eyes stared at the old man for a moment, waiting for him to speak.
"Fourth Prince Qiao......" The old man touched his beard, "The old man only knows that he was taken away by the alchemy family in the Jiangnan area many years ago, and I heard that it was his mother's maiden family, and he has not been back for so many years." ”
"I see." Xinglian nodded, and the jar of wine in her hand was also poured out by her at this time.
Seeing that she was about to ask the question, she was about to leave, when suddenly several dark shadows stood around the corner, blocking out all the light in front of them.
Ruoyan frowned, and stood beside Xinglian, blocking her.
There were three burly men in front of him, and the first one swept over with one slanted eye, first he was stunned when he saw Ruoyan, and then when he saw the star refining behind her, a little ill-intentioned smile flashed on his face.
Xinglian raised his eyebrows, stood up, and looked back at the past.
She has seen a lot of this kind of look, in modern times, it has always been a sword and a sword, and she has met more ruffians and hooligans than she has walked on bridges.
Dahan looked at Xinglian from top to bottom, and then looked away at the old man, "Hey, I said old man, you are setting up a stall here, do you have to pay protection money?" ”
"But I've already paid the monthly fee." The old man also stood up and arched his hand.
The Wu Bawang in front of him is exactly his name, he is simply an overlord, there is no one who has set up stalls along this street without being bullied by him, and the small money he earns on weekdays is not enough to give them protection money.
"Handed it over? Why don't I remember you handed it in? Wu Bawang muttered to himself as if he was puzzled, and then turned back to his two brothers and said, "Have you handed it over?" ”
The two attendants in the back also raised their eyebrows, and they all laughed when they heard this, "I haven't handed it over......"
