Chapter 25 Tao Lao makes a move
"Ahh A lean man dressed in gray and dressed as a retinue rushed out of the stinger, holding the broken jade on the ground with both hands, and shouted with regret and panic on his face.
"Girl, I'll help you up. The man who shook the fan ignored the loud shouts of his entourage, and got up to help the woman who fell in front of him.
"Thanks, no. The slightly pale woman, dressed in a gray and white blouse, frowned slightly, her thin shoulders dodging to the side, avoiding the sallow hands of the man who was shaking the fan to reach for her.
The two stood up one after another, and the woman turned around and was about to apologize to the man who shook the fan, when the gray-clothed attendant next to her stepped forward and shouted: "This girl, take a look for yourself, you smashed the East China Sea White Dragon Jade Pendant that my housemother gave to my young master." How can this account be calculated?"
The pale-faced woman looked at the few petals of broken jade that were held in front of her by the gray-clothed entourage, exclaimed, her eyes showed a hint of panic, and she hurriedly whispered, "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to." ”
"Ahh That's it. Do you know how valuable this East China Sea White Dragon Jade Pendant is, if you hit it like this, a hundred taels of gold will be gone!" The gray-clothed entourage said unrelentingly.
"One...... One hundred taels of gold?" the woman's face was stunned, and her heart became anxious.
"Ji'an, stand down. The man who shook the fan took a step forward at this time and scolded with a cold face.
"But young master, this East China Sea White Dragon Jade Pendant that the Master Mother gave you ......," Ji An said, turning his head.
"It's nothing, I tell you to step down, you step down. The face of the fan shaker turned a little colder.
"Yes, young master. Hearing this, Ji An retreated unwillingly, still muttering in his mouth.
The man who shook the fan stepped forward and held the folding fan in both hands, smiled slightly, and said: "My personal entourage has no knowledge, if there is anything abrupt about the girl, I hope the girl will forgive the sins." ”
The woman took a step back without a trace and said in a low voice, "I was the one who smashed your jade pendant first, he was right." It's just that this jade pendant is precious, and I don't have a hundred taels of gold on me. I beg you to spare a few days, and when I have raised a hundred taels of gold, I will pay it back. ”
The man who shook the fan sighed lightly and said gloomily: "The girl said this, but she was too underestimated. The ancients had clouds, and they had a fate to meet thousands of miles away, but they didn't know each other because they didn't know each other. Although this East China Sea white dragon jade pendant is precious, but it is only a hundred taels of gold, how can it compare to the relationship between me and the girl. In my opinion, it was just in time to shatter. ”
As soon as the fan man said this, a look of astonishment appeared in the woman's apricot eyes, and she didn't know how to respond to these words. looked at the man in front of him, although the other party's face was not ugly, but there was a little frivolity in a pair of peach blossom eyes, which made him feel a faint disgust in his heart.
Seeing that the woman opposite did not respond, the man who shook the fan smiled and said: "The surname is cold, and the single name is a marginal character, and I dare to ask the girl's name." ”
The woman's eyebrows frowned slightly, her face hesitated, and she secretly thought in her heart that she had broken the other party's jade pendant first, but the other party did not pursue it too much. Now just ask your name, if you avoid answering, it will be too impersonal. As soon as she thought of this, the woman whispered: "The surname is Lin, and the name is tonight." ”
"Lin Jinxi, good name. Leng Hu groaned, bowed to Lin Jinxi, and said, "In Xia Leng Hu, I have seen Miss Lin." ”
Seeing this, Lin Jinxi owed a slight debt, which was counted as a return gift.
"Please don't take the matter of jade pendant to heart. Leng Hu said, paused, turned his head to look left and right, his eyes suddenly lit up, and said: "There happens to be a teahouse here, and I invite Miss Lin in to drink a cup of weak tea, which is counted as an apology for my uninformed entourage Miss Tang Tulin." ”
The other party was polite, and Lin Jinxi felt that he was at fault first, and it was difficult to shirk it, so he hesitated for a moment and said in a low voice: "That...... All right. ”
The three of them stepped into the teahouse one after another, and they were extremely bold and bold, and they chartered a private room on the second floor where they could enjoy the lake scenery. The teahouse servant diligently, got a lot of reward, and then boiled the tea, and then retreated. Ji An closed the door, leaving only Lin Jinxi and Leng Hu in the private room, while he stayed outside the door.
Through the window, he could see the scenery of the inner lake and the noisy pedestrians on the street, Lin Jinxi's heart was a lot more settled, thinking about taking a sip of tea casually, agreeing on how to compensate, and immediately returned to Lin's house.
Seeing Lin Jinxi looking at the scenery outside the window and contemplating, Leng Hu was overjoyed, and hurriedly took out a red projectile vial from his sleeve, picked the cork with one hand, and a little white powder fell into the teacup in front of him, and then Leng Hu pushed the teacup in front of Lin Jinxi, and said with a smile: "Miss Lin, please use tea." ”
Seeing that Lin came back to his senses tonight, he was about to drink tea. Leng Hu's eyes lit up, and his heart was beating rapidly, hoping that Lin Jinxi could drink the tea in the teacup in front of him a moment earlier, but he didn't know that his act of stealing chickens and dogs had already been clearly seen by the people on the boat not far away.
Tao Lao and Han Lao glanced at Pharmacist Chen, whose footsteps were moving slightly, and their hearts were speculating. Yakushi Tatsu wants to park the shipyard here, I'm afraid that's why. Moreover, even if it wasn't for Pharmacist Chen this time, the two of them would have to go to save this woman from fire and water when they saw this scene, but now it is the best of both worlds, just to send Pharmacist Chen a favor.
"Elder Han, are you going or am I going?" asked Elder Tao of the Pill Pavilion.
Han Lao Ben also wanted to give away this favor, but he thought about it for a while, and said: "After all, the name of the Pill Pavilion is much bigger than the name of the Fuchun Herb Hall, I think it is more appropriate for you to go." ”
Lu Chen was about to get off the boat, and when he heard this, he immediately pressed his steps. I secretly thought in my heart that I would inevitably expose my identity if I came forward, so let Tao Lao go.
"There are such well-dressed beasts in Qinghe City, how can you spare him if you let the old man meet him today. The elder Tao of the Pill Pavilion raised his eyebrows and let out a long roar. He kicked his feet on the deck, jumped off the ship, and then landed on the surface of the inner lake as if nothing was there.
"Stepping on ......"
Tao Lao stepped on the water, and there were a circle of ripples under his feet, three steps and two steps, and in the blink of an eye, the person had reached the shore. Tao Lao didn't stop, he pulled a weeping willow in his hand, and with a little more light under his feet, the person had already jumped in from the window door on the second floor of the teahouse.
When the boiling hot tea was slightly cool, Lin Jinxi picked up the teacup, but there was no entrance, but his eyebrows furrowed. Although he was in a trance just now, the corner of his eye had never left the teacup for a moment, and he vaguely saw that Leng Hu seemed to reach out and do something strange to his teacup.
Lin Jinxi silently recalled the previous details, and took a closer look at the tea in the teacup, his slightly pale face suddenly became a little colder, this tea ...... Thinking back to the previous events, it gradually became clear in my mind that the so-called East China Sea White Dragon Jade Pendant was just an excuse.
As soon as he thought of this, Lin Jinxi was silent, and he was about to put down the teacup in his hand and prepare to get out. At this moment, a white-haired old man in a azure shirt flew in from the window, slashed the teacup in her hand, and held it in her hand, only to hear a popping sound, and the teacup turned into a ball of powder in the old man's palm.
"Roll down for me, you well-dressed beast. The old man roared, snapped, and slapped Leng Hu's waxy face hard. That Leng Hu was looking forward to Lin Jinxi to take a sip of tea, and before he understood what was going on, he was turned on his back by this person who suddenly seemed to be a slap from the gods, and he didn't even have time to let out a scream, and suddenly broke through the window railing next to him and fell from the second floor of the teahouse.
"Young Master, what's the movement?" Ji An, who was guarding outside, heard that the movement inside the private room was wrong, and hurriedly pushed the door in to find out. It's just that Ji An had just pushed open a crack in the door of the private room, and a big hand suddenly penetrated through the crack in the door, grabbed the placket of his chest, and pulled it violently into the private room, causing Ji An to break in.
"Thou treacherous slave shall not spare you today. The old man slapped Ji An twice, and then kicked out, making Ji An follow in the footsteps of Leng Hu.
When the old man solved Leng Hu and Ji'an's master and servant, Lin Jinxi's eyes were still slightly stunned, and he couldn't help but think in his heart, could it be that this kind-faced old man was Leng Hu's enemy?
"Little girl, I didn't scare you. The old man seemed to remember that there was another person in the private room, and he stepped forward and asked with a smile.
Lin Jinxi shook his head.
"The old man's surname is Tao, little girl, you can call me Tao Lao. Tao Lao clapped his hands and continued: "Little girl, do you know how dangerous it is just now, in your ......"
Veteran Tao told the story of the previous incident, not letting go of any detail, and in the end, he stretched out his hand and pointed to the three-story boat building parked on the lake, Lin Jinxi's eyes followed the past, and just happened to see the old man talking about the pharmacist in black clothes and hood.
Thinking of this, Lin Jinxi immediately stood by the broken window of the teahouse through a lake night, and bowed to the black-clothed hooded man on the boat floor to show his gratitude.
"Little girl, I'm going to have a snack when I go out in the future. Tao Lao mistakenly thought that Lin Jinxi was ignorant and unconscious, so he told him and went downstairs to deal with the affairs here.
Tao Lao said a kind word, Lin Jinxi naturally would not forcibly defend himself, and nodded again and again at the moment. After this incident, Lin Jinxi didn't want to stay at the night market lantern festival for another moment, stood by the broken window, and then took a closer look at the figure in a black coat and hood on the boat building not far away, and then went downstairs and left.
After a while, Tao Lao returned to the third floor of the shipbuilding and said coldly: "Who dares to do such nonsense in Qinghe City, it turns out that the well-dressed beast is a young master of the Leng family, named Leng Hu, and the slave next to him is named Ji'an. ”
Leng Hu, Ji'an, and Lu Chen remained silent, secretly remembering these two names in their hearts.
"Tao Lao, Han Lao, the two ancient Taoist warm-hearted, chivalrous and benevolent, what they did today really made Chen admire. Chen replaced the wine with tea and toasted two people. After speaking, Lu Chen raised a cup of tea. When these words came out, it can be regarded as inheriting a favor from Tao Lao and Han Lao.
Tao Lao and Han Lao saw that the pharmacist was heroic and simple, replacing wine with tea, and he was very earnest. The two of them had just rescued a young girl from fire and water, and suddenly felt that they were dozens of years younger, as if they were rejuvenated, returning to the age of youth and frivolity, and blood boiling.
"Dry!" The two of them also raised the teacup, and the three cups of teacup touched each other in the air, and then the three of them raised their heads and drank the tea in the cup.
"Tao Lao, Han Lao, it's not too early, let's say goodbye first. Lu Chen put down the teacup and said.
Tao Lao and Han Lao knew that this Chen pharmacist had already made his intentions, so they naturally did not force him to stay. Han Lao looked at Bihe on the side and said, "Send Pharmacist Chen back to Wufang." ”
Lu Chen and Bihe got off the ship, and the boatman sent the two ashore in a small boat.
