Qu Ruling smiled without bitterness, he stood upright and raised his hand to wipe away the tears on his face little by little, as if he had always been like this, and he had never had the slightest sentimentality.

"Master Dongwu Fei is four hundred and fifty taels!" The old bustard is a woman, and when she heard this price, her face was about to shake with laughter, she waved a silk scarf and said, "Is there any other nobleman?" ”

"Four hundred and sixty taels!"

The light in the old bustard's eyes was even worse, "Boss Xiyue Wang is four hundred and sixty taels!" She hurriedly lifted her skirt and ran to Qu Ruling's side and whispered, "Ruling, do you see if there is any other way to raise the price?" ”

Fengyue stayed for a long time, Qu Ruling knew what she meant, her fingers stopped on the belt and she was about to undress, and she heard a voice, "Five hundred taels." ”

Qu Ruling stiffened his movements and slowly raised his head, and saw two small servants in the private room on the second floor open the door curtain, and a man in a fancy dress walked to the horizontal bar in a few steps.

"Brother Qin......," Qu Ru's fingers trembled, "how could you ......,"

"Do you think I won't be able to control you if you come to Soochow?" Seeing that no one spoke, Qin Xu turned his folding fan away and looked at the old bustard and asked, "What?" The two of us are together, are you afraid that I won't be able to pay this money? ”

Some people were not popular, and immediately slapped the table and roared, "Aren't you here to make trouble?" How can you open a kiln and still be your own family? I'll give six hundred taels! ”

Qin Xu pretended to be surprised, knocked the folding fan on his shoulder, and said with a smile, "This big man, Qin Xu may not have explained it yet." I want Qu Ruling, five hundred taels of gold, do you want to follow? ”

Everyone gasped, no matter how rich Rao is, he will not be stupid enough to smash it on a person, five hundred taels is not a small amount, not to mention gold, and now the person who shouted just now was also arrogant, and only blew his beard and glared angrily in the original seat.

"Brother Qin, why do you ......,"

"If you see it clearly, it's worth the money." Qin Xu raised his eyebrows, folded his head and quipped, "If you come back to Yehuan, you don't have time to think about this." ”

Qu Ruling shook his head and said, "If you are ordered, you can wait." ”

Qin Xu's smile deepened, and he said slowly, "Don't think too much about it, I'm asking you to change your position and sit." It's not the top card of the night joy, it's the boss of the night festival, can you afford it? Books? Qin Xu looked at him gently, and the pity in his eyes overwhelmed the other party.

Lin Shu was Qu Ruling's original name, he hadn't heard it for many years, and now that he read it out of Qin Xu's mouth, he couldn't help but feel a little moved, and even his bloodless face secretly climbed into red. His eyes were wet again, and he said, "Shu'er thanked Brother Qin." ”

"No thanks, no thanks." Qin Xu simply jumped over the fence and jumped onto the stage, and did not forget to tease him when he comforted him, "If you cry again, I will have to train you again." ”

Qu Ruling pushed him, blushing even more.

Qin Xu carefully wiped his eyebrows and said, "There are people in the world who are responsible for you, but you have me." Qu Ruling was unbearably moved, his hands around his waist and cried, no one had ever seen him look so out of shape, not even Qin Xu had ever seen him, he tightened his arms and locked the person in his arms, stroked his hair gently, and said, "If you want to cry, cry, you have been wronged." ”

People withdrew from the drunken monarch's arms one after another, and waited for Qu Ruling to cry all the pain, then slowly raised his head, and in a blink of an eye, he saw two familiar backs towards the door, and he immediately called, "Master Xi, Master Gan!" The two of them instantly turned around and smiled at him, Qu Ruling's heart warmed again, and after explaining to Qin Xu, he hurriedly stepped off the stage, "Can you wait a while and drink the wine with Ruling?" ”

Gan Qingsi and Xi Ruobai nodded with a smile, and he turned back with peace of mind.

Qin Xu said, "There is still something to do, how did Boss Fang and my family Ruling divide it?" ”

The old bustard smiled, "The entrance fee belongs to me, and the price is fifty-fifty." ”

"Boss Fang is calculating." After Qin Xu ordered someone to take the money to the old bustard, he asked someone to carry the box behind Qu Ruling, "Take it to him." He hesitated and Qin Xu spoke again, "The whole night joy is yours, do you still care about the money?" ”

Several people followed Qu Ruling to the second floor, and in the dark, they saw two figures facing each other for a long time, and then they saw one person hurriedly running downstairs to the door, Qu Ruling didn't stay long, and walked back to Qin Xu's side.

"Brother Qin, there are only two hundred taels left."

"Earn it back, earn it back, Boss Fang, the money is collected, do you have to give me the deed of sale?"

The boss patted his head and said, "Look at my memory, hurry up, go and get the deed of sale." ”

After Qin Xu got the contract and confirmed it to Qu Ruling, he tore it clean, "I'll take the person away." ”

The old bustard smiled and sent a few people out, and after closing the door, the laughter penetrated the street and the passers-by were afraid, and they didn't know who thought they were killing pigs at night.

The lantern was lit, and several people sat in the private room to drink and talk, and the most drunk during the banquet was Qu Ruling, although the amount of wine practiced in the early years was not low, but a white face was still red from drinking. Rao is drunk, he was also thanking him, from Gan Qingsi to Qin Xu, no one was left behind, and finally he fell drunk and fell asleep on Qin Xu's shoulder.

"That person is Meng Zhi." Gan Qingsi didn't understand when the man ran out, but looking at Qu Ruling's reaction, he could only think of Meng Zhi.

Qin Xu gently patted Qu Ruling's back and said, "It's him, it was not easy to get fame and be a petty official in Huaizhou, but he just wanted to know the law and break the law." His wife was seriously ill, but he embezzled public money to treat her. But he happened to be discovered by the Governor's Division, thinking of his merits, the Governor's Department asked him to fill the vacancy and resign, and never be a official again, otherwise he would be thrown into prison. He was desperate and went back to Guanhuai's hometown to ask for help, this person was soft-hearted and immediately ran back to the night to beg me to buy him, I didn't agree at the time and he was looking for him in Guanhuai one by one. I ventilated with the other flower buildings and didn't let people accept him, so that he could dispel this idea, but I didn't expect him to run to Soochow without giving up, and directly offered the price, but fortunately, I didn't miss it when I was in a hurry. ”

"Five hundred taels of gold is not a small amount, Boss Qin is afraid that he will bother a lot."

"I knocked out all the shops under my hand, and I left the night to live. It would be fine if the child could figure it out. Qin Xu didn't have any regret when he said this, and he said, "Thank you for caring about him, otherwise he wouldn't know how to be disheartened, if I knew that Meng Zhi was so discouraged, I wouldn't have let him redeem the book in the first place." ”

"We didn't intend to mix it up at the beginning, otherwise it wouldn't have happened."

"Childe, I also wanted him to go at that time, if it wasn't for the life of the entire Buye Huan, and he forced me to send him to death, how could I be willing to give him to others with my own hands, those high-ranking officials and children have endless grinding tricks, how can the books in their hands be left behind. In his early years, he would rather sell himself than borrow a penny from me, and he always did not want to owe anyone else. I didn't want him to stay in this land of flowers at all, and the appearance of Childe also helped me a lot, just to make him wish. What we didn't expect was Meng Zhi. ”

Xi Ruobai saw that Qu Ruling was sleeping deep and tired, and said, "Boss Qin, you take Qu Gongzi back, it's inconvenient to stay outside for a long time in the cold at night." ”

"When Gongzi Qu wakes up and talks to him, we won't say goodbye to him."

Qin Xu thanked the two of them again, and then left with Qu Ruling.

"Listen to Huan, let's go back, it's cold at night." Gan Qingsi looked at him with a smile, and the man was finally relieved.

Not long after the signal flare was raised, Jiang Yi scolded and rushed over, and when he saw that the two of them were not different, he retracted his broken thoughts, and when Gan Qingsi finished talking to him about Qu Ruling, he began to talk again, and he was so annoyed that even Xi Ruobai couldn't stand it all the way, and as soon as the two entered the inn, they pulled Jin Yutang into their room, making Jin Yutang in a fog.

"Big brother, Master, why are you dragging me in?"

"Didn't I finally get free and show you your body?" Gan Qingsi was foolish, but he couldn't hide from the clever Jin Yutang.

Glancing at him, Jin Yutang said, "It's clear that you just want to hide from me through me, didn't you just show me a few days ago?" What's there to see now? ”

"Bastard, you're going to raise the bar with your eldest brother now when you're growing up, aren't you?" Gan Qingsi began to preach as he got older.

Jin Yutang, who had always listened to his eldest brother's words, didn't care about him, and was very cooperative in reporting to him, "Big brother, how dare I, I didn't just want to talk to you." Now I have a mid-level valve with spiritual power, and I have a ghost power and a fierce ghost. ”

"Oh." Gan Qingsi felt that something was wrong, of course something was wrong, this kid had stepped up a few steps alive, and he exclaimed, "Stinky boy? What are you doing here? It's only been a few days and you've gone up again? ”

Prices haven't risen as fast as he has!

"That's right, a few days ago, after you finished telling me about the mental method, I went to the master again to ask the spiritual method, and the two of them practiced together and then that's it."

Gan Qingsi gave a thumbs up and said, "Kid, you're a talent. ”

"Not really, the eldest brother taught me."

He hooked Jin Yutang's shoulder and turned back to Xi Ruobai and said, "I didn't hear Huan, my brother!" ”

Xi Ruobai glanced at him and said, "He called me Master, so what should you call me?" ”

Jin Yutang was so happy when he heard this, he always knew that his master was very poisonous, from teaching him to be strict at the beginning to now facing his eldest brother, that is, it has intensified, and he admires it tightly in his heart.

Gan Qingsi did not fall behind, and said, "What? Even if I'm your apprentice, still don't have a teacher-student relationship? Besides, if you change to my side, Xiao Yu'er still can't call you a sister-in-law, right? ”

Jin Yutang held his stomach and laughed, unable to hold back his image at all.

"Gan Shuye, you are a talent." Xi Ruobai couldn't hide his laughter, and in the end, the three of them couldn't discuss the exercises in the room, so they turned into bickers and laughed all night.

On the second day, it was almost noon when the seven people gathered, and after lunch, everyone did not delay any longer, and left the inn after preparing dry food. Bai Jiu sent them all the way away from the Defeng Realm, and then went to Nanliang alone.

Gan Yungui, who was sitting in the carriage, was bored fiddling with the bracelet that Mingjing gave him before leaving, and suddenly remembered the days when he was floating on the boat, when Gan Qingsi was busy and Mingjing chatted with him, even if there was nothing that interested him, someone would never be bored, and now he was alone, he might as well be a remnant.

Taking advantage of the wind blowing up the curtains, he looked at the two of them, thinking that when he stayed on Xi Ruobai, he would never be bored. Now that he has finally become a human, he is beginning to feel nostalgic. After several days and nights of hurrying, Gan Yungui thought like this, and even left the hustle and bustle of the sea breeze in his sleep, and briefly warmed up.
