Chapter Twenty-Six: The Most Awkward Combination of Brother and Sister Entering the City
In the wing room, Long Chen asked Long Fan while packing his luggage: "Grandpa, do you really believe Mei'er's words?" ”
"I've inquired, Wu Xiao hasn't remarried over the years, and Mei'er does look a little like your mother, okay, okay, don't be suspicious anymore, hurry up and pack your luggage and go down the mountain!" Long Fan sat at the tea table and drank tea while urging.
At this time, Wu Meier walked in from outside with a fruit bowl. She asked curiously, "Brother, where are you going?" ”
Long Chen looked embarrassed, turned his face to look at Long Fan, Long Fan hurriedly put down the tea bowl, got up and said with a smile: "Mei'er, Chen'er is going to live in Qifeng City for a few days, you stay here to accompany your grandfather!" ”
Wu Mei'er put down the fruit plate, came to Longchen's side, and said excitedly: "Brother, you are going to Qifeng City, it just so happens that Mei'er also wants to go, Mei'er is going to Qifeng City to visit Uncle Bai and Sister Xueji!" ”
Long Chen and Long Fan looked at each other. Afterwards, Longchen said to Mei'er: "Brother's trip is to go to Qifeng City Baifu to find your sister Xue Ji, since Mei'er is also going, let's go together!" After Long Chen finished speaking, he packed his bags and pulled Wu Mei'er out......
Wu Mei'er led the mount and dragon dust to the prosperous area of Qifeng City. "Brother, you wait for me, I'll go buy some gifts for Uncle Bai." Wu Mei'er said as she handed the reins into the hands of Long Chen, and then left in a hurry.
Dragondust led the white horse and stood in the middle of the road. Suddenly, his eyes lit up, and his eyes stopped on the roadside jewelry stall.
He led the white horse to the jewelry stall, picked up a phoenix bead flower, and thought thoughtfully. The owner of the jewelry stall hurriedly stepped forward and explained: "Childe has a good eye, this beaded hairpin is handed down by the old ancestor and has a history of more than 1,000 years. ”
Longchen stared at the hairpin and asked, "How to sell it?" ”
The boss smiled and said, "Ten taels of silver!" ”
Longchen hurriedly took out all the copper coins from his arms and asked, "Are these enough?" ”
The boss looked at the copper coin in Longchen's hand, his face turned blue with anger, he took back the hairpin, and sneered: "Stinky boy, just these few copper plates, and you still want to buy jewelry, you think you are calling Huazi, hurry up and go away, don't disturb my business!" ”
"Why are you scolding old man!" At this time, Wu Meier rushed over from a distance with a large bag and a small bag.
"Girl, who are you, he just wanted to buy my hairpin with these copper plates, do you think it's reasonable?" The boss said as he handed the hairpin to Wu Mei'er.
Wu Meier threw down all the big and small bags, picked up the hairpin and looked at it, and then said disdainfully: "Isn't it just a golden silk jade phoenix hairpin, how much is it, Miss Ben bought it!" ”
The boss looked at Wu Mei'er, and saw that she was dressed in jewels from head to toe, so he instantly changed his attitude, nodded and said, "Ten taels of silver!" ”
Wu Mei'er did not hesitate to take off the money bag from her waist, then grabbed a large handful of silver and put it in the boss's hand, and said with a proud face: "Are these enough, Miss Ben doesn't have much, it's just a lot of money!" ”
The boss's eyes lit up, staring at the silver in his hand in a daze, and said excitedly: "Enough is enough...... The girl is really generous! ”
The jewelry stall has long been surrounded by pedestrians, and everyone is staring at Wu Mei'er and Longchen like a pair of monsters, and they are pointing fingers: "With so much silver, you can buy this old man's jewelry stall, I don't know what she thinks......"
"This man and woman are really a natural pair, and they both have brain problems!"
……
Wu Mei'er happily inserted the hairpin on her head, then hung all the big bags and small bags on the ground on the horse's back, and then led the dragon dust out of the crowd.
The two of them walked in the bustling downtown area, and Longchen suddenly stopped, and said with an embarrassed face: "Mei'er, that hairpin ......"
Wu Mei'er was a little lost in an instant, paused for a moment, and then pretended to be indifferent, took off the hairpin from her head, and turned around and handed it to Long Chen.
Longchen took the hairpin, put it in his arms, and then promised: "When my brother has the silver in the future, I will pay you back." Wu Mei'er smiled bitterly: "Brother, don't see each other like this, we are brother and sister, mine is yours......" Wu Mei'er was just halfway through her words, and a group of people and horses galloped by, almost hitting them.
Wu Mei'er suddenly became angry, pinched her waist, looked at the back of the horse team, and scolded: "Hey, don't you have long eyes, you almost bumped into my aunt and grandmother and me......" At this time, the passers-by stopped, gathered together in twos and threes, and talked about the horse team one after another: "Why are the people and horses of Baifu in such a hurry?" ”
"I heard that the daughter of Baifu has disappeared again!"
"Yes, this time I won't see you at night again, will Miss Bai have nocturnal syndrome?"
"When the princess of Baifu was shopping for vegetables in the morning, she told the vendor that Miss Bai had a big quarrel with Master Bai the night before she left, and she disappeared the next morning."
"I heard others say that the reason why the father and daughter quarreled was that Master Bai forced Miss Bai to marry the eldest young master of the Imperial Sword Gate, and Miss Bai didn't agree to this marriage, so she ran away from home!"
"Alas...... Miss Bai was so pitiful that she was forced to marry before she could recover her memory. ”
……
Passers-by gathered together and had different opinions.
After listening to everyone's words, Long Chen immediately put down the reins, and the whole person rushed towards Baifu as if he had been beaten with chicken blood.
Wu Mei'er looked dazed, and shouted at Longchen's back: "Brother, you wait for me......" Then stepped on the horse's back and whipped to chase.
Longchen came to the door of the White Mansion and began to knock on the door non-stop.
"Here we are...... It's coming......" came the family's response from inside the door.
As soon as the words fell, the door opened, and it was the same family member who came out last time. Seeing that the person who came was dragon dust, his face sank, and then he closed the door.
"Open the door...... Open the door...... I want to see Master Bai next! ”
Dragon dust continued to knock frantically on the door.
"Young Master Long, you better go back, the master won't see you again," the family said persuasively through the door.
"Why?"
"I don't know, the last time you left, the master told us that we must not open the door when we meet you in the future."
At this time, Wu Meier arrived just in time on horseback. When Wu Mei'er saw her brother hit a wall in front of the Baifu Gate, she was immediately furious, and immediately dismounted, rushed forward, and continuously kicked the Baifu Gate with her foot.
"Bai En, you open the door for me!" Wu Meier yelled while kicking the door.
As soon as Jia Ding heard that it was Wu Mei'er's voice this time, he hurriedly opened the door: "Miss Wu, why are you here!" ”
"Bai En, do you know who Long Gongzi is, Long Gongzi is my Wu Mei'er's brother, next time I find out that you don't open the door for him, I will unload the door of your Bai Mansion!" Wu Mei'er had an uncontrollable face, and scolded Bai Endao domineeringly.
Bai En said aggrievedly: "Miss Wu, I am also acting on orders, don't be embarrassed!" ”
"At noon, who is arguing there...... At this time, Bai Zhan strode towards this side with a group of family members. The family members are all holding knives and sticks, and they are violent. Bai Zhan came to the door, and when he saw that it was Wu Mei'er standing outside, he was immediately stunned, nodded quickly, and said with a smile: "Bai didn't know that it was Miss Wu who came, and he missed the distance, so I ask Miss Wu for forgiveness!" ”
Wu Mei'er stood with her hands in her hands, and asked in a strange manner: "Does Baifu usually treat guests like this?" ”
"Alright...... All right...... Go down, all of you. Bai Zhan hurriedly retreated from the people behind him, and then stretched out his hand to lead the way: "Miss Wu, Master Long, please come in!" ”
