Chapter 001: Give you a beautiful little chrysanthemum
"Xie Dashao, your luck is not good today, why don't you stop here and fight again another day?"
When he was about to borrow money from the gambling house after losing all the five hundred taels that the person on the other side would bring, the dealer of the gambling house came to say this, and the onlookers around looked like they were watching a good show.
Xie Lingbai (翎: líng) directly kicked the stool at his feet to the side, spat and said, "Isn't it five hundred taels?!" Will Lao Tzu put it in his eyes? I asked you to borrow some money, what kind of person are you Xie Lingbai?! ”
The dealer smiled and said: "Xie Da Shao is not angry, the villain doesn't mean this, but I heard that Xie Da Shao and Ling Zun had a quarrel today, this is not because I am afraid ......"
If it is replaced by someone else, the dealer will definitely be happy to borrow, but the person in front of him is different, if Master Xie refuses to give money, then Xie Lingbai will definitely rely on the account directly.
There is no way, playing tricks, not learning and not knowing, reversing right and wrong, and being a fool, this is the unanimous comment of the people of Xiyao City on Xie Lingbai.
"You mean you won't borrow?"
The dealer smiled and didn't speak, Xie Lingbai snorted and left directly, everyone around thought that there would be a fight, but they were a little disappointed when they didn't see the show.
"Phew, the dog looks down on people, isn't it just a small gambling house, Lao Tzu still can't look down on it, even if Lao Tzu has money, he won't come here to gamble in the future!"
It's been really unlucky lately.,Last night in the Envy Flower Pavilion didn't fight for the Oiran.,In the morning, I was tied up by the family and went home for training.,Now it's still losing money.。
"Brother."
Xie Lingbai raised his eyes and saw a six or seven-year-old boy standing in front of him, dressed in light blue brocade clothes, and his little face looked like a porcelain doll.
"Xiao Jin, what are you doing here?" Xie Lingbai looked left and right, frowned, and said, "Alone? ”
"Brother, go home, my mother is worried to death."
"I'm not going back."
"You just admit your mistake to your father, and your father is not really angry."
"Admit mistakes? What am I doing wrong? What's wrong? ”
Xie Jinqing sighed a little helplessly, and muttered, "Isn't it right that you fight with someone in Qing/Lou......"
"What do you say? Leave these children alone, are you hungry? Brother will take you to a big meal! ”
Xie Lingbai said and took Xie Jinqing's arm and walked forward, but after walking a few steps, he was stopped by a few people who came out of nowhere.
"Brother Lingbai, where are you going?"
Xie Lingbai glanced at the three of them, they were all his friends who played better on weekdays, and Qian Bao, who was the leader, smiled: "I heard that Brother Lingbai didn't grab the Oiran last night?" ”
Sun Wen nodded: "That's right, alas, what did we say last night?" What if I don't get the Oiran? ”
"Punishment, punishment."
Li Cai added, the three of them looked excited, Xie Lingbai said unhappily: "Isn't it just punishment, say, what do you want me to do, hurry up, Lao Tzu is hungry and anxious to eat." ”
"Brother Ling Bai is refreshing, but ordinary punishment will not be taken into account for you......" Qian Bao said and his eyes glanced around the street, and then his eyes lit up, and he pointed to a carriage in front of him and said: "It's better to be like this, Brother Ling Bai, you go over and tease the people in the carriage, and we can only stop when we say it's okay, how about it?" ”
"This is a good idea, but I don't know if Brother Lingbai dares to accept it."
A few of them figured out Xie Lingbai's temper and knew that the method of agitation was the most effective for him, and sure enough, they saw Xie Lingbai's face change, and let out the words: "It's a piece of cake, you guys are optimistic." ”
"Brother, it's not right to flirt with people on the street."
Xie Jinqing pulled Xie Lingbai and didn't let him go, Xie Lingbai pulled his hand away, patted his head and said, "Xiao Jin, you have to know that it is a blessing to be teased/played by your brother and me, you guys, take care of my brother." ”
After speaking, he walked towards the carriage, Xie Jinqing was speechless, why did he have such a stupid brother? The other three excitedly took Xie Jinqing over to watch the show.
The carriage stopped in front of the city's largest medicinal herb shop, 'Yucaoxuan', and some of the girls' families on the street stopped and whispered.
"Boss Wen has come to inspect the shop......"
"Although the weather is not very good and gloomy today, I still want to go out for a walk, but I really came to the right place, alas, I should wear the newly bought pearl hairpin."
"Just like you, no matter how much you wear a pearl hairpin, Boss Wen won't look at you."
"Tsk, who are you talking about, you don't take a mirror to look at yourself, you think you are such a ......"
Before the woman could finish speaking, she stopped, for there seemed to be some commotion on the side of the carriage, and they stopped making noise and looked over, only to see a man stopped in front of the carriage.
"This girl, why don't you come down and have a meal together?"
When Xie Lingbai came over just now, he also bought a small chrysanthemum from the little girl who sold flowers, and after speaking, he held the flower branch in his mouth and put on a posture that he thought was very handsome.
"Get out of the way, even the carriage of the Wen Mansion dares to stop, don't you want to live?!"
The coachman reprimanded, Xie Lingbai became angry when he heard it, took the little chrysanthemum in his hand, and replied with some displeasure: "Even if you don't know Grandpa Xie, you dare to mess around in this city?!" Hurry up, call the lady in the car to come down! ”
"You ......" the coachman wanted to scold back, when a faint voice came from the carriage: "Agui." ”
Xie Lingbai pursed his lips a little boredly, it turned out to be a man, this flower was bought for nothing! The coachman immediately jumped out of the carriage and said respectfully: "Master, what do you command?" ”
didn't get any response, the black-clothed guard next to him stepped forward and lifted the curtain, Xie Lingbai was squeezed for a while, only to find that the crowd around him seemed to be scrambling, and they were basically women.
Well, what's going on?
When I turned my head again, I found that the people in the carriage had come down, and the person in front of me was wearing a crescent moon white shirt, and a blue and white hanging sachet hung on the white belt inlaid with silver thread around the waist.
The surrounding discussions became louder, and Xie Lingbai finally understood why there were so many women around, and the daring was all aimed at the person in front of him.
Although he hadn't seen this person much, he had heard a lot of rumors in the same city, the largest medicine merchant in Xiyao City, Wen Changheng (héng), the owner of Yucaoxuan.
Xie Lingbai's expression was a little serious, because he felt that he had to be imposing when looking at each other like this, but when he raised his eyes to look, he realized that the other party didn't look at him at all.
He had seen a few businessmen who had a good relationship with his father before, most of them were full of copper, fat, and big ears, but the person in front of him was a little different, with a slender body, broad shoulders and a narrow waist, black hair half tied up and half scattered, and his watery eyes were a little faint, as if he didn't put anyone in his eyes.
Wow, it turns out that the girls in the city like such little white faces, damn it.
"Brother Lingbai."
Sun Wen behind him reminded him, Xie Lingbai remembered his purpose, he cleared his throat and handed out the little chrysanthemum and said, "Boss Wen, give you a beautiful little chrysanthemum, do you like ......it?"
Before he finished speaking, Wen Changheng had already walked past him, Xie Lingbai was stunned for a moment, there was some laughter around him, he felt faceless, threw flowers casually, and kicked a stone on his toes towards Wen Changheng.
Wen Changheng, who was walking with his back to him, was unmoved, Xie Lingbai looked at it with a smug face, but when the stone was about to hit Wen Changheng's back, he saw a black shadow flash, and Xie Lingbai fell to the ground with a pain in his knee.
"Poof, hahaha......"
The ridicule around him broke out completely, Xie Lingbai gritted his teeth and looked at his feet, it was the stone he kicked over just now, he looked up and glared, and found that the person in front of him had already walked into Yucao Xuan.
The stone just now was blocked by the black-clothed guards beside Wen Changheng, and the movements were so fast that people couldn't see clearly, Xie Lingbai pondered that he was definitely not the opponent of the guards.
"Brother Lingbai, this is your housekeeping skill?"
"Why are you still on your knees? Hahaha......"
"What a fart!" Xie Lingbai stood up, patted the dust on his body, and shouted at Yu Caoxuan: "It's just a businessman, his body is full of copper stench, and he stinks to death when he gets close, so it's not uncommon for Lao Tzu to deal with such people!" ”
After finishing speaking, he directly squeezed through the crowd and left, Qian Bao and a few of them took Xie Jinqing to follow, Xie Jinqing asked with some confusion: "Brother, what is the smell of copper?" ”
"It just stinks."
"But why didn't I smell it? It's obviously a fragrance. ”
Xie Lingbai didn't speak, Wen Changheng had a faint smell of medicine, after all, he was a medicinal herb merchant, probably related to his dealing with medicinal herbs all day long, but so what, one day he would get back the face he had lost today.
"Let's eat!"
The bet was lost, the punishment was also lost, and in the end Xie Lingbai had to take a group of people to have a meal, saying that he was treated, but he lost all the money on his body, and found thirty taels from Qian Bao, paid more than twenty taels, and put the rest in his pocket.
"Xie Lingbai, this is my pocket money."
"What a fart, double it tomorrow!"
"Brother, it's time to go home."
After coming out of the restaurant, Xie Jinqing urged, Xie Lingbai looked up at the dark night sky, and didn't want to go back at all, because he knew that he would definitely be punished for kneeling on the ancestral tablet for introspection.
"Let's go, go to the Envy Flower Pavilion to play."
"You're going to take your brother to the Envy Flower Pavilion? He's only seven years old, Xie Lingbai! ”
Li Cai's face was incomprehensible, Xie Lingbai thought for a while and said, "Send him to the door first." As he spoke, he pulled Xie Jinqing forward.
"What's going on?"
At this time, a few passers-by were talking about something, and one person replied: "It's a shame, the Xie Family Medical Center is on fire." ”
Xie Lingbai's footsteps paused, then let go of his hand and grabbed the man's collar and asked, "What did you say?" Where is the fire? ”
When the man saw that it was a bully Xie, he immediately replied with some trembling: "Xie, Xie Family Hospital." ”
"Brother Lingbai, what's going on?"
Xie Lingbai let go of his hand, raised his legs and ran forward, ran a few steps, heard Xie Jinqing's shout behind him, and then turned around and picked up Xie Jinqing and ran towards the direction of the Xie Family Medical Center.
The Xie Family Medical Center is the best medical center in Xiyao City, mainly because Xie Sheng'an's medical skills are good, so even if Xie Lingbai does nonsense on weekdays, everyone will turn a blind eye to it.
When Xie Lingbai ran to the front of the medical hall with Xie Jinqing in his arms, he found that there were many people surrounded there, and some officials were fighting the fire, but they couldn't see the outline of the medical hall clearly, it was simply a sea of fire.
