Chapter 30: Jiao Yuxin's granddaughter
On the second day of the competition, the Steelland Continent reported the news one after another, and for a while surprised many forces, under the operation of the wind whispering, Argo's suspicion was also successfully cleared. A new star of alchemists has risen in the Steelland Continent.
For the Black Cloud Family's approach, Edward's actions ended dismally, not only missing an alchemist with unlimited potential, but also making the Black Cloud Family sad for its short-sighted reputation.
Edward scolded Zong Ming in the bedroom for being useless, and when the matter reached Zong Ming's ears, the two had a verbal battle, and the atmosphere became even more tense, and the future diplomacy of the Black Cloud family and the Zong family had cracked in advance.
Because the number of bettors gradually increased, Argo and Myron made a lot of money, thousands of gold coins, Myron said that he could also use this method to make a lot of money in the future, and Argo was also a little moved, just asked his comrades when they could make a blockbuster and defeat the Quartet, so that they would also have the opportunity to be a trader of fate.
When the dust settled, the freshmen and sophomores had finished their exams and left the campus one after another, the guards of the Black Cloud Family were already waiting outside Seydon City, the temperature in the north was gradually dropping, and there was a great possibility of another snowfall, Argo was reluctant to leave the warm dormitory, so he had to rent out the books in the library and lie on the bed in the dormitory to read.
Before leaving, Lan Qi came, "Ah Go, don't you really go back to Black Cloud City with us for the New Year?"
Argo looked at Lan Qi ambiguously, Lan Qi was still the first time to set foot in the boys' dormitory, and Cuomo had already gone home to welcome the more than a month-long vacation. There were only two people in the cramped dormitory at this time. Ago's ambiguous eyes made Lan Qi's bumpy figure tremble, and she had the urge to slap Ago.
"Take me to say hello to the old man, the weather is too cold this year, so I won't go back" After speaking, he took out the winter clothes and some precious medicinal materials he had prepared for the old man and asked Lan Qi to hand them over on his behalf.
Lan Qi has no reason to debunk Argo's lameness, there has been a huge rift between the Black Cloud family and Argo, and there is nothing she can do.
"Happy New Year, Argo, take care" Lanki sighed and left Argo's bedroom.
Behind him, Ago's voice muttered, "Happy New Year, Lanki."
Picking up the cigarette that Myron had sent him last night, after lighting it, Argo took a deep breath, the spicy taste circulating in his lungs, and then spit it out along with the melancholy in his heart.
To Ah Go's surprise, Feng Jiu Ge invited himself to go to Feng Capital, the political power center of the Feng Dynasty, to celebrate the New Year yesterday, although Ah Ge wanted to go with Feng Jiu Ge, but in the end Ah Ge politely refused, and said that he would definitely go to the famous Feng Capital of the Steelland Continent if he had the opportunity in the future.
Similarly, Ah Ge also rejected Xuan Jinchen's sincere invitation, Ah Ge has always had a feeling that Xuan Jinchen Chen's eagerness for himself seems to exceed his appreciation of talent, which can always make Ah Ge have an inexplicable meaning, could it be that Xuan Jinchen, the young sect master of the Xuanshui Sect, is a brokeback mountain? Ah Ge felt a chill and decided that it would be better to stay away from Xuan Jinchen in the future.
The atmosphere of the festival in the city of Saidong gradually became stronger, there are coalition troops stationed here, guarding the safety of the Nordir Academy all the year round, and the soldiers have also set up their homes in the city, plus the home of the tutor in the Nordir Academy, and some large and small families have purchased properties here, this is like a small city.
Argo and the golden fat man walked on the street together, on weekdays, the school of Rinodil is forbidden to enter and leave, and Argo has not had a good visit to the city of Seydon, and today is a rare opportunity to play here.
"I don't know if the two little brothers are satisfied with this shop" An obese middle-aged woman asked the two with a flattering face, this little brother is really handsome, at first glance, he is a noble child, he must not be worried about the cost, and he can make a lot of money.
"The location is a little off, the house is a little old, and it is not worth it to spend a lot of gold coins to rent a shop here" Argo pointed to the house with a dissatisfied face.
"Mu Shao is right, this house is really not very good, let's take another look," the golden fat man cooperated with Ah Go's performance in a timely manner.
"Well, although we are not short of money, we can't spend money indiscriminately," Argo nodded
The middle-aged woman grew up and didn't know how to make a sound, Seydong City was worth every inch of land, this is the second main street of Saidong City, how could the location be biased, how could the house that was renovated only five years ago be old, and the two nobles didn't come to fool themselves, but Argo's sentence "We are not bad for money" was deeply engraved in her mind.
"Don't go, don't go, the price is negotiable, the price is negotiable" The middle-aged woman stopped Ah Ge and the golden fat man who were about to go out.
"Didn't Auntie just say that you get what you pay for, and it's impossible to negotiate a single gold coin in this shop?" asked Argo in surprise.
The middle-aged woman was embarrassed, "Originally, I couldn't let a single gold coin, but isn't this a hurry to make a move?"
"In a hurry, could it be that there are any shortcomings in this store that we don't see?" said Argo, looking at the shop again.
"No, no, young man, there are no shortcomings in this shop" The middle-aged woman was about to cry.
"Yes, Mu Shao, I once heard that some houses are haunted, so I will be in a hurry, we should be careful of such things" The golden fat man showed a frightened face.
"Ah, there's such a thing, so you really need to be cautious," Argo nodded, as if there really was such a weird thing in this shop.
"Nothing, nothing" the middle-aged woman strenuously denied.
After some talking, Ah Ge and Jin Fat Man rented the shop at a satisfactory price, and after signing the contract, the middle-aged woman left with a look of dissatisfaction.
Under the command of the golden fat man, under the design of Argo, the decoration of the store began in full swing.
During this time, the golden fat family provided the older medicinal materials, and Ah Ge forgot to sleep and eat the alchemy, and when he was tired, he used the Dragon Trick to restore his strength, and his alchemy and martial arts have made great progress.
The two of them opened a pill shop in the city together, the family industry of the golden fat man is all over the Stylan continent, mostly some silk business, never involved in the field of pills, this time the two of them co-founded the pill chamber of commerce, is a new attempt, Ah Ge occupies an absolute holding, a famous alchemist, and the existence of the alchemy master behind him, it is definitely worth the investment of the Jin family.
At the beginning of the new year, in previous years, Ah Ge would follow the old pharmacist to visit some officials of the Black Cloud family, or receive some officials of the Black Cloud family, and then the two reunited, but this year, Ah Ge sighed, does the old pharmacist celebrate the New Year alone, I don't know if he is still happy.
With a box of gifts, Argo knocked on Jiao Yuxin's residence in Seydong City, the gift is not precious, just a heart, presumably with Jiao Yuxin's identity, there is no lack of some precious things, two days ago, suddenly a girl appeared in front of Argo, claiming to be Jiao Yuxin's granddaughter, Jiao Yuxin invited Argo to come to the house as a guest on Chinese New Year's Eve, Jiao Yuxin knew that he did not return to the Black Cloud family during the New Year.
Looking at this sweet-looking girl, Ah Ge couldn't help but admire, he didn't expect that his cheap teacher would have such a beautiful granddaughter, which made Ah Go's eyes shine.
"Mr. Argo, don't be late then, grandpa doesn't like punctual people the most," the girl said lightly. Some tutors from Nordir Academy came to Jiao Yuxin's house early to pay New Year's greetings, but they didn't expect this man to need his grandfather's personal invitation.
Jiao Mingjing complained a little in her heart, if she hadn't seen that Ah Ge was very handsome and always showed a faint smile, she would have had a seizure.
"Didn't your grandfather tell you to call Uncle Shi?" replied with a smile.
"Didn't my grandfather tell Mr. Ago that I didn't study at the Dan College of Pharmacy, but at the School of Economics?" said Jiao Mingjing.
Ah Ge was surprised, but he didn't expect that Jiao Yuxin's granddaughter did not inherit his mantle, but chose economics, it seems that Jiao Yuxin is also a very enlightened old man.
"I really don't know," Argo replied in surprise.
"And Mr. Argo now knows?"
"Got it".
"Judging by your appearance, you don't want to come empty-handed when the time comes, do you?" Jiao Mingjing said suddenly.
"Eh, what's not to do?" Ah Ge touched his nose, what gift should he give Jiao Yuxin?
"It's better not to be like this, grandpa hates visiting students who don't know how to be polite," Jiao Mingjing said.
Ah Ge suddenly remembered that he still had to ask Jiao Yuxin, and it was indeed rude to visit empty-handed at the New Year's Day, so what gift should he give? I was about to ask Jiao Mingjing, this woman should know Jiao Yuxin's hobbies, but saw that Jiao Mingjing had already taken a step and left.
What a maverick woman, Argo thought to himself, lacking the patience to say goodbye to himself.
On the first day of the new year, Ah Ge looked at the time, and it was almost time for lunch, so he picked up the gift he had carefully prepared and came to visit Jiao Yuxin, and there was one lunch left, why not?
