Remember [ .] in one second, wonderful free reading without pop-ups!
Pei Xie Tang couldn't help but laugh when he saw that he suddenly became awkward: "You are still polite to me at this time." Well, I don't watch! Thou shalt not look at me, or I will not comply!" β
"You think I'm you." Zhu Xinzhi pushed her away funny, buried his head and began to write.
While writing, you have to beware of Pei Xie Tang peeking at the same time, it is really difficult for him.
Pei Xie Tang really didn't peek.
Seeing Zhu Xinzhi go and write down her wishes, she took the lantern to the side to write down her wishes. The people around were busy with their own affairs, and no one noticed themselves, Pei Xie Tang hooked a vague smile on the corner of his mouth, picked up the pen, and carefully wrote on the paper:
There are three wishes in life: one wishes to avenge grievances, two wishes to get revenge, and three wishes to know each other as well, which is common every year.
When she was done, she blew dry the little slip of paper, rolled it up, and put it in the lantern.
Zhu Xinzhi had already finished writing, waiting for her with a lantern, and when he saw her coming, he couldn't help laughing: "I thought you couldn't write, but I didn't expect you to be a layman." β
"I'm vulgar!" Pei Xie Tang pouted dissatisfiedly: "If I am clean, it is not that I am here to make a wish, but that people are here to make a wish to me." Because I'm not human, I'm supposed to be an immortal. β
"Yours are the most crooked!" Zhu Xinzhi shook his head, very helpless.
Pei Xie Tang pulled him, walked through the crowded place, and after finding a place where he could settle down, the two of them squatted down on this side: "Lord Wang, come here, let's start here." β
"You go first." Zhu Xinzhi has never played with this kind of thing.
Pei Xie Tang didn't say anything polite to him, mumbled, and carefully put the lantern in his hand into the water first. The lantern fell into the water, and there was a momentary tilt in the water, but it quickly stabilized its little body, and staggered to the heart of the river with Pei Xie Tang's wish. She hurriedly clasped her hands together and whispered a wish in her heart.
Zhu Xinzhi learned from her appearance, and quickly put the lantern in his hand in the river.
The two stood up, and Pei Xie Tang clapped his hands: "Lord Wang, it's done, if there is really a god, he will definitely be able to hear our wishes." β
"Really?" Zhu Xinzhi looked at her with bright eyes: "Who did you learn this from?" β
"My father taught me before." Pei Xie Tang shrugged his shoulders: "I haven't learned anything else, I just think this is very interesting." In previous years, I used to make the lanterns that were put into the river. I didn't have that mind this year, but I didn't buy it badly. β
The Dragon Boat Festival released river lanterns, which was a program that Pei Jialei couldn't move in the past.
It's not that Pei Xie Tang likes it, but her biological mother likes this kind of thing very much, in the past, when her mother was still alive, she accompanied her father to the river to put lights on the Dragon Boat Festival every year. Later, when her mother died, my father would think of her every year, make some beautiful lanterns, and take her to the river to put them. Mother is soft. Soft, always tell the gods what he wants, so he is extremely pious when making a wish, Pei Yongjun has learned a lot, and he handed it over to Pei Xie Tang to be decent.
Later, my father married Aunt Mei, and Aunt Mei also liked this thing, so the Pei family put it every year.
It's just that this year, there is no one to play with her.
Zhu Xinzhi pulled the corners of his mouth: "I can't see it, Lord Tingwei still likes this." β
Pei Xie Tang didn't speak.
There was a commotion in the distance, what seemed to be the sound of drums, about some juggling troupe performing. Pei Xie Tang didn't want to say any more, so he pulled Zhu Xinzhi's hand: "Lord Wang, you see it's so lively over there, let's go and see it too!" β
She changed the topic so quickly, Zhu Xinzhi didn't feel anything wrong, followed her hand and looked over there, only to see that by the wide river bank in front of her, someone had set up a platform, and the lights on the stage were bright, illuminating the figures on the stage very thoroughly. There were a lot of people around the audience, cheering from time to time, I don't know what they were doing.
Pei Xie Tang likes to be lively, and immediately pulled Zhu Xinzhi over without hesitation.
When I got closer, I realized that it was a ring.
A man dressed in rivers and lakes arched his hand on the stage: "Ladies and gentlemen, we came from Huzhou, went to the capital to join relatives, and there is no way back, taking advantage of today's Dragon Boat Festival, I will bet the Shuowang sword handed down by my ancestors here, if the father and fellow villagers take a fancy to this sword, they can raise their hands to bid, and the one with the highest price will win!" β
But it's selling.
Pei Xie Tang sneered, and whispered to Zhu Xinzhi to bite his ear: "Lord Wang, you must not trust these people." You look at the aura of the sword, it is a good sword, but the methods of the Jianghu people are the most clever, and when it is handed over to you later, I am afraid it will not be this one. β
"I don't believe it." Zhu Xinzhi shook his head, "Walking the rivers and lakes is to put righteousness first, they won't do this." β
"Lord Wang, let's take a gamble?" Pei Xie Tang looked at him slyly.
Zhu Xinzhi chuckled: "What do you want to bet on?" β
"If the prince loses, promise me one thing." Pei Xie Tang stretched out his finger: "Let's pull the hook." β
Zhu Xinzhi looked at her childish trick funny, and in the end, he still stretched out his hand to her: "Okay, according to you." β
Pei Xie Tang got his promise and immediately raised his hand: "Zhuangshi, how can you sell this sword?" β
"Fifty taels." When the man saw that someone was talking, he immediately stepped forward with a smile and said, "The little girl is a knowledgeable person, if my Shuowang Sword is not short of money, someone will want it if it sells for five hundred taels." β
"The blade is so blunt, someone buys it?" Pei Xie Tang was skeptical.
The man smiled: "The little girl is a layman, and she doesn't know how to use knives at all. If you want to buy it, come forward to bid, if you don't buy it, go home as soon as possible to pick up the baby and breastfeed, it is the right way! β
Amateur?
Pei Xie Tang saw that he was about the same age as the Lord of Tai'an, but he was only twenty-five or sixteen years old, and he spoke very clearly, and he couldn't help but want to laugh in his heart. He said she was a layman, and she thought he was the real liar. This blade is so blunt, not to mention an ancestral priceless treasure, even if it is given to her, she still hates to carry it on her body.
Hearing him say the rules of bidding again, she raised her hand without hesitation: "Okay, you said it was a peerless sword, and I believed that it was a peerless sword." I gave fifty-five taels of silver. β
"Is there anyone taller than fifty-five taels of silver?" As soon as the words fell, the man's face was full of joy and asked loudly.
No one responded for a long time, and after a short half a day, someone in the corner let out a thin voice: "I will give sixty taels of silver." β
Zhu Xinzhi and Pei Xie Tang both looked back.
I saw a thin young man in a gorgeous costume, looking at the sword with a pair of eyes, and seemed to like it very much.
Pei Xie Tang couldn't help but mutter: "I said I was blind, and that was to scare others." Why, there are still people in this world who are really blind and deliberately rush to be deceived? β
"Sixty-five taels." That being said, her hand can be raised no slower than the others.
"Seventy." The man also hastened to speak.
Pei Xie Tang raised his hand again: "Seventy-five." β
"Ninety!" Men don't want to let it yet.
Pei Xie Tang looked at Zhu Xinzhi beside him, his face was no longer indifferent, but looked at Shuo Wangjian in surprise, and at the end, he looked at the person again, as if he couldn't understand the situation.
Pei Xie Tang laughed out loud.
He doesn't really think he wants to buy this, does he?
She didn't have enough money to throw around. Ninety taels of silver to buy such a handful of broken copper and iron to go home, isn't this adding to the blockage for yourself?
"I'll give it to you!" Pei Xie Tang said loudly, pulling Zhu Xinzhi and wanting to run.
The faces of the man in the corner and the man on the stage changed, and they both stopped, stepped forward and scolded: "Are you teasing us?" β
"Buy and sell, if you want to sell, I have to want to buy. I just looked at it as a good thing, but after shouting a few rounds of price, I didn't want to shout what was wrong. Besides, I thought you didn't know him. Pei Xie Tang pointed at these two people, covered his face and smiled extraordinarily: "You recognize it, but you deliberately pretend not to recognize it, one is desperately raising prices here, and the other is singing bitter feelings on stage, you two are good at acting." β
The man and the man rushed forward: "What evidence do you have?" β
"I don't have proof." Pei Xie Tang shrugged: "You shouted to ninety taels, I can't buy it if I want to." β
But as soon as she finished speaking, she heard someone behind her chuckle: "This sword is a blunt sword, it has no edge, and it is a pity to fall in the market." One hundred taels, I bought. β
Rich!
Wayward!
Pei Xie Tang turned these two words in his head, turned around slowly, and saw Gao Xingzhi, who was dressed in plain clothes, standing behind the two of them, and the folding fan in his hand shook gently, quite windy. Wandering. As soon as he stopped here, many girls couldn't take their eyes off it.
Pei Xie Tang smiled and narrowed his eyes: "Tsk, where is this big landlord, this money is spent like burning paper." β
"It's hard to buy a thousand dollars, I'm happy." Gao Xingzhi waved his fan in a chic manner, with a gentle expression: "Why are you here?" β
"The Xie family has put river lanterns here, so naturally I will come." Pei Xie Tang turned his arm: "What about you, why are you here?" β
After Zhu Xinzhi appeared from Gao Xingzhi, his face showed a little impatience.
Why does this person always like to stick to Xie Chengyin's side, like a dog skin plaster, why can't he get rid of it?
Gao Xingzhi sniffed the smell in the air: "Chengyin, have you smelled anything?" β
"What?" Pei Xie Tang snorted.
Seeing this, Zhu Xinzhi's face twitched.
This fool, didn't you hear that Gao Xingzhi was trying to mock him?
Sure enough, I heard Gao Xingzhi shaking his head and dragging out the end of the note: "As soon as I saw you, I felt that today. You must have knocked over the jar of vinegar. This sour! β
He slapped his nose with his hand, as if he was very disgusted by the smell nearby, only looked at Zhu Xinzhi, and said loudly: "Sour, it's really sour." β
Pei Xie Tang finally reacted and couldn't help laughing.
Zhu Xinzhi was annoyed, and took a step forward with his sleeves.
"Lord Wang, you wait for me!" Pei Xie Tang hurriedly called him, but where he couldn't see, her eyes met with Gao Xingzhi: It's all done?
Gao Xingzhi didn't answer, opened the fan and fanned it elegantly, and at the end, the fan pointed to the high platform behind him.
Pei Xie Tang understood everything.
The three of them had barely walked two steps when they heard a hideous crisp sound behind them, and someone drew their weapons and pounced on the three of themβno, to be exact, at the back of Gao Xingzhi!
