Chapter 15 Qiaotong Chamber of Commerce
"Those of you who passed the test will gather outside the city three days later, and someone will take you to the academy to report. Glancing at the people who passed the test, the old man in a green robe slowly closed his eyes and said coldly: "If not, stay in this wild place and spend this life in peace." ”
"For the rest of your life, come here. In the whispers that sounded all around, Ye Shiling, who had passed the test, pulled the rest of her life and advised: "This tutor's retest is stricter, you should be careful." ”
"Name?" As soon as Ye Shiling's voice fell, the old man who scolded everyone beckoned Yu Sheng to go over, starting from the collarbone, along the limbs and torso, checked Yu Sheng up and down, and asked, "Age?"
"The rest of the life of the younger generation. The boy replied, "Sixteen."
"Sixteen years old?" Looking at the skinny young man in front of him, the old man in the green shirt was slightly stunned, and a mysterious qi broke out of his body, covering the rest of his life, and after looking down, he said in surprise: "Come and gather in three days." ”
"Three days, I'm afraid it's not enough. ”
"Who are you?" Looking at the figure who interrupted his voice, the old man in green shirt hurriedly stood up, his gloomy face changed from his previous coldness, and said: "If you miss the time to report to the academy, this young man will regret it for the rest of his life in this town." ”
"Ye Lao, why are you here. Looking at the old man who suddenly appeared in front of him, the young man said: "Aoki Valley is not far from here, and I will come over with Shiling when the time comes." ”
"He has an old illness, and I am afraid it will not be able to recover in three or two days. Ye Lao, who came out of the crowd, waved his hand, stared at the old man in green shirt in front of him and said: "This place is thousands of miles away from the Bi'an Academy, if he is injured again on the way and his life is not guaranteed, can you bear this responsibility." ”
"In the old gentleman's opinion......"
"It can be as short as a year, as long as two years. Ye Lao waved his sleeves and said loudly: "After his injuries are healed, the old man will personally send him over." ”
"Grandpa, Shiling can't bear you. After coming out of the crowd of tests, Ye Shiling took Ye Lao's arm and said, "Otherwise, after two years, you can take me with the rest of your life." ”
"Aren't you fooling around? You will be injured for the rest of your life, and you should not travel long distances. Ye Lao scolded: "Your qualifications are not weak, and you are seventeen years old and at the age of Xuanqi cultivation, what is it like to stay by my bad old man's side every day." ”
"Ye Lao. Looking at Ye Shiling, who was angry, ran to the dazzling stalls, the young man asked in a low voice, "Is my injury really not healed yet?"
"Your injuries are fine, but there are still some things that cannot be delayed. The old man smiled: "If you are allowed to go to the academy with Shiling now, I am afraid that your good future will be buried." ”
"But what does it have to do with this Na Ling Jue?"
"Go away, go away. As soon as the young man's voice fell, in a noise, four or five strangers who suddenly stepped forward surrounded him and Ye Laotuan, and said in a domineering manner: "Dog things that don't have long eyes, what do you see." ”
"I mean, girl, you're a stranger. The man standing at the head of the crowd glanced at the rest of the life of the Xuanshi Sipin, and then swept his gaze over Ye Lao, who did not have a trace of Xuanqi fluctuations, squinted his eyes and stared at the shadow in front of the stall and said, "If you like these jewelry, why don't you give it to you from my brother?"
"Ye Lao. Looking at the man with the folding fan in his hand, Yu Sheng said: "Shiling ...... her"
"Hehe, you don't have to worry. Holding his fists clenched for the rest of his life, the old man stared at the man, looked at the word "Zhao" on the brocade robe, and laughed softly: "I didn't expect this Zhao family to come, it seems that this auction must have some difficult treasure." ”
"Could it be that Ye Lao, do you know them?" Staring at the man who stretched out his palm and grabbed Ye Shiling's back shoulder, the young man stepped forward and said, "Shiling be careful." ”
As soon as Yu Sheng's words fell, he only heard a crisp sound of "pop", with the understated word "roll", which abruptly came into the ears of everyone present.
"You stinky girl looking for death, right?" The man who fell to the ground covered his red and swollen cheeks and scolded sharply: "Believe it or not, master, I will correct you on the spot now." ”
"It's been so long, and you're still dead. Ye Shiling took the hosta from the trembling boss, stared at the man who was stunned and said coldly: "If there is a next time, I will definitely want your Zhao family to cut off their children and grandchildren." ”
"Why are you?" Looking at Ye Shiling's delicate face, the man's dark face suddenly turned pale, and he glanced at Ye Lao, who was standing aside with a hat on his head, and said in fear: "You, you all wait for me." ”
"Ye Lao. Seeing the ugly state of the invincible man, the rest of his life was stunned: "This is ......"
"How about my brother for the rest of my life, sister, this hosta is beautiful, right?" Ye Shiling put the hosta on her head, ignored the dull eyes around her, stood in place and turned around contentedly twice, hugged Ye Lao's arm and said with a smile: "Grandpa, let's go." ”
Yu Sheng opened his mouth in a daze, thinking that a storm of fighting was inevitable, but in Ye Shiling's slap, it was not a happy end.
With the question in his heart, Yu Sheng followed behind Ye Lao and walked towards the Qiaotong Chamber of Commerce at the end of the street, where the door plaque was shining with golden light.
In front of the door, which was much larger than the ordinary house, two welcoming women with heavy makeup stood on both sides, and saw Ye Lao and the three people in black cloaks stop in front of the door, and said politely: "Three adults, our chamber of commerce is closed today, and I invite you to come back tomorrow." ”
"Is this the Qiaotong Chamber of Commerce?" Ye Lao nodded slightly, his sharp gaze swept around, and his voice was low: "But the auction is held here?"
"My lord, but you're here for the auction?" The woman standing on the right side, dragging a turquoise long skirt, walked up to Ye Lao and said, "Please also show the invitation." ”
"It's just an auction, what kind of invitation do you want?" Ye Shiling pouted and said, "Are you afraid that we won't be able to afford it?"
"Misunderstanding, this auction ......"
"Ye Lao, Shi Ling. ”
Before the welcoming maid finished speaking, she only heard a "squeak" sound on the door, and a woman in a purple shirt dragged her long skirt and walked out of the dark black door quickly, stood in front of Ye Lao and leaned down and said, "Ye Lao is coming from afar, and Yaran is not welcome." ”
"Sister Yaran. Looking at the suddenly appearing figure, Ye Shiling hurriedly ran forward, threw herself into the arms of the purple figure and shouted, "Sister Yaran, Shiling misses you so much." ”
"Little girl, my sister misses you too. The purple figure took off a jade bracelet from her wrist, put it on Ye Shiling's hand and said, "I haven't seen you for a few years, but I'm getting more and more beautiful." ”
"Thank you, Sister Yaran. Ye Shiling shook Yubai's wrist with a smile, pulled Yu Sheng, who was standing behind Ye Lao, and said, "This is the younger brother I just recognized, his name is Yu Sheng." ”
"Hello little brother for the rest of your life. The purple figure looked at the young man with a young face in front of him, and saw that his eyes were deep and restrained, and his gestures were full of maturity that was different from ordinary people, and he smiled and said: "If there is anything useful in the future, just come here to find my sister." ”
"Yaran girl. Looking at the smiling Qiao Tong Yaran, Ye Lao asked out loud, "I'm afraid the auction is about to start, right?"
"Ye Lao forgives his sins. Qiao Tong Yaran leaned down slightly, smiled slightly, and said: "The elders of the clan specially let Yaran wait here for a long time, and I hope that Ye Lao will not blame, I will take you in." ”
Passing through the dim corridor in the side room of the lobby, the surrounding lights suddenly brightened a lot, and the auction table that greeted you was waiting for the auction to start in the eagerly awaited crowd.
"Ye Lao, please come here. Qiao Tong Yaran leaned over and stopped in front of the steps leading to the second floor: "Because of the exhibits, the lights here are a little dim, please don't blame me." ”
Walking beside Ye Shiling for the rest of her life, looking at the old man who was climbing the stairs in front of her, the questions hidden in her heart became more and more. I'm afraid that this old gentleman who saved his life, in addition to the medical skills of resurrecting the dead, has something that is enough for the Qiaotong Chamber of Commerce to face up.
"I thought there would be a lot of people. Ye Shiling turned her head and whispered to Yu Sheng: "Every time I followed my grandfather before, it was crowded with people, but this time it's really strange." ”
Looking at the crowd downstairs, Yu Sheng nodded silently, he was born in Mu Yunzong, and he naturally experienced various forms of auctions. But entering the gate like today is so mysterious, and the guests invited are all local famous families, it must be like Ye Lao said, I am afraid that there are some rare treasures that will appear here.
"Ye Lao. Qiao Tong Yaran spread out the list of lots on the table, his eyes were as bright as stars, swept over Ye Shiling, who was looking around, and finally landed on Yu Sheng's body, and said with a smile: "You guys rest here first, and I'll go and prepare some fruits for you." ”
"Ye Lao, this auction ......"
"With the strength of the Qiaotong Chamber of Commerce, it is so careful to hold an auction. Ye Lao, who was leaning on the back of the chair, glanced at the young man sitting beside him, closed his eyes and said slowly: "I'm afraid that some of these lots are either powerful or can't see the light." ”
"That's really exciting. Yu Sheng raised the corners of his mouth, flipped through the list of lots in front of him, frowned slightly, and said: "It's just some ordinary exercises and mystical techniques and unpopular pills, and it's not enough to make people rush to it." ”
The younger brother of the rest of his life laughed. ”
As soon as Yu Sheng's words fell, a shadow dragged the lilac skirt, and the lotus step moved slightly, and a graceful figure appeared in the room: "The elders of the clan attach great importance to this auction, presumably there are some quite rare things appearing, and I hope that Ye Lao and Yu Sheng's younger brother will see the opportunity and don't miss it." ”
"You girl, the old man is sitting here, and he is still selling me guanzi. Ye Lao's eyes widened slightly, and the index finger of his right hand knocked on the armrest of the chair with a "bang" sound: "Tell the old guy in Mingshan for me, and say that I, Ye, owe him a favor." ”
