Chapter 20: Exposed!
Sleepless carving spirit patterns, consuming too much true qi, he didn't have time to rest early in the morning and ran to the Golden Jade Hall to sell the "Wheel of Fortune" gloves, and now Ye Chong was carrying three hundred and fifty taels of silver tickets in his arms, but the whole person was exhausted.
Ye Chong dragged his tired body and walked on the street, and his whole temperament was the same as that of the teenagers who came out of the Internet café every morning in the world called the earth and fought in the game all night.
It's just about eating a basket of soup dumplings and drinking a bowl of spicy soup.
The sky was covered with dark clouds, thick and lead-colored.
The breeze blows through the stone streets, and the smell of the rain is all over the face.
Because he was going to come to a place like Jinyutang, Ye Chong changed out of his hospital uniform when he came, and at this time he was wearing his previous coarse cloth clothes, like a poor person in this world.
He walked out of the street where the Golden Jade Hall was located, and turned to the street where martial arts supplies were sold.
The streets are not long, but weapons, pills, spiritual treasures, pet beasts...... There is everything here, and there should be a lot of Jinyutang's industry here, and the most important thing is that this is a place where only the rich, only the warriors with good family backgrounds can afford to consume.
It is an aristocratic street.
Whether it was a weapon, an elixir, a spiritual treasure or a pet beast, it was not like a young man in coarse cloth like Ye Chong could covet it.
So when many pedestrians in fancy clothes saw Ye Chong, they thought that this was a poor boy who accidentally walked into this street.
I'm afraid that when this poor boy sees the jeweled spiritual weapons, and sees the strange or fierce pet beasts, his eyes will be red at a loss. A lot of people think so.
Social classes, hierarchies of status, exist so harshly and harshly in every world.
Until two shadows came in front of him, Ye Chong was slightly stunned, his heart was really a coincidence, but he saved himself from many twists and turns.
"Miss Shen, please wait a minute. ”
Ye Chong quickened his pace and came to Shen Qing'er and the best friend beside her.
Shen Qing'er was stunned for a moment, and couldn't remember who this person was for a while, but her best friend Cheng Linghuo recognized Ye Chong at once.
"Aren't you the beggar who asked us for money that day? Why did you find us again? Five taels of silver is a lot, are you still greedy enough and want to get an inch?" Cheng Linghuo looked at Ye Chong and his gaze suddenly became unkind.
The people who happened to pass by around glanced at Ye Chong, and couldn't help but laugh and think, this poor boy knows that people who are not rich and noble on this street can't come, and it's a little clever to come here to beg.
Shen Qing'er also seemed to think that what her best friend said made some sense, so she just stared at Ye Chong and didn't say a word.
She can not care about the few taels of money because of her kindness, but she looks down on people who don't know how to fight for their future and destiny, and blindly begs from others.
Ye Chong saw their gazes and knew that he was too embarrassed at this time, so he didn't refute much, but he thought that the other party regarded him as a beggar, and still showed a wry smile, "Miss Shen, I said that the five taels of silver that day were borrowed from you, and I happened to meet them today, I just want to return the money to you." ”
Pay back?
This surprised Cheng Linghuo, and even Shen Qing'er was a little surprised, "I didn't ask you to pay it back, forget it." ”
Since the other party is not a person who only knows how to blindly stretch out his hand to others, then she will not have many strange eyes, but the five taels of silver, she really didn't take it to heart, although this person said that it was borrowed at the time, but she never thought of asking this person to pay it back.
Ye Chong shook his head, "No, what you owe to someone must be repaid, otherwise my conscience will be disturbed." ”
He said and stretched out his hand to take it into his arms, but he immediately thought that the smallest silver ticket on his body was also fifty taels, this Shen Qing'er was a master who could throw five taels of silver to himself casually, and I am afraid that it would not be so coincidental to have forty-five taels of broken silver to return to him.
He hurriedly said, "Please wait for me, I'll go to the money bank to change the silver." ”
After Ye Chong finished speaking, he hurriedly ran to a money bank not far away.
On the streets with the most wealthy people, money banks are always everywhere.
After Ye Chong entered the money bank, Cheng Linghuo frowned and said with a smile: "This kid didn't have no money on him and deliberately hid in the money village, right? ”
Shen Qing'er shook her head, "Wait and see, I don't think this person will lie to us." ”
Thinking of Ye Chong's caring attitude towards the little beggar that day, Shen Qing'er was still very good to his first sense, otherwise he would not easily give him five taels of silver, after all, no one's money was blown by the wind.
After a while, Ye Chong ran out of Qianzhuang and came to Shen Qing'er again, he held a silver piece of five taels in his hand, handed it to Shen Qing'er and said, "Give it back to you, and, thank you for the events of that day." ”
After returning the silver, although Ye Chong's body was still quite tired, he felt a lot more relaxed, and said goodbye, and Ye Chong continued to walk along the street.
"Hey, it's really exactly five taels, no more, no less, this poor boy is not simple, he earned five taels in a few days. Cheng Linghuo couldn't help but be a little surprised, although they were born in a wealthy family, but at their age, even if they didn't know the price of firewood, rice, oil and salt, they still knew what five taels of silver meant to ordinary people.
That's not something that can be earned in a few days.
Shen Qing'er held the silver that still had the temperature of Ye Chong's palm, and for some reason remembered this person's tired expression and bloodshot eyes.
Thinking about it, he has paid a lot in the past few days in order to repay his money, Shen Qing'er smiled, "A guy with a lot of backbone." ”
"Let's go, Qian'er said that she didn't like the gift you picked for me last time, she asked me to give her a pet beast, you can help me go to the pet beast shop to pick one." Shen Qing'er pulled her best friend and said.
Cheng Linghuo pursed his lips, "That sister of yours is really troublesome." ”
Although he said this, the next moment he still discussed, "Did she tell you what kind of pet beast you want? How about the spirit mink? I don't know if there is a pet beast shop now, if there is, then Xiao Nizi will definitely like it." ”
......
Ye Chong said goodbye to Shen Qing'er and the others, and walked to the door of a shop in the deepest part of the street, and then stopped.
It's a shop that sells all kinds of spiritual tools, and it's a little deserted inside.
After Ye rushed into the door, he came to the counter and said, "Shopkeeper, do you have any bags here?"
Na Bag, which is a bag used to store items, is the size of a palm, but because of its unique material, it can hold a lot of things after the spirit pattern master seals the spirit.
The shopkeeper raised his head expressionlessly, glanced at Ye Chong, and said in his heart, where did the poor boy come from, but in line with the principle of a businessman who opens the door and does not refuse customers, he still replied lazily, "Of course there are, fifty taels for the lower grade of the yellow order, one hundred taels for the middle grade of the yellow rank, and ...... for the upper grade of the yellow rank."
He glanced at Ye Chong again, swallowed the next words in his stomach, and thought to himself that this guy couldn't afford it at first glance, why did I talk so much with him.
At this time, Ye Chong handed out two silver tickets in his hand.
"This is two hundred taels of silver, give me the two yellow-rank middle-grade bags. ”
The shopkeeper's gaze suddenly changed, and when he looked at Ye Chong again, he was full of smiles, "This son, we still have a high-grade bag of the Yellow Order, only three hundred taels each, hehe, do you want to consider it?"
"No, I just have so much money and I can't afford anything better. Ye Chong shook his head, in fact, the money on his body was enough to buy a yellow-rank high-grade bag, as a martial artist, this thing would be used sooner or later. It's just that he was going to give one to Beitang Mo, who didn't look wealthy, so he had to buy two yellow-tier mid-grade ones.
It is also because the manufacture of the bag is relatively special, Ye Chong did not see a record in the "Ouyang Zi Notes", so he could only spend money to buy it, and there was no way to make it himself.
After getting the two pouches, in the flattering smile of the shopkeeper, Ye Chong walked out of this aristocratic street and turned back to the Shenjiang Courtyard.
The sky was still cloudy, Ye Chong returned to his yard, took a bath, and was about to sleep, rest, and recover his true qi after waking up.
At this time, there was a sudden knock on the door.
"It should be Beitang Mo. Ye Chong walked to open the door, because except for Beitangmo, it seemed that no one else would patronize him.
After opening the door, he saw that the person who came was actually Zhou Feng's cousin Zhou Meng, who was sinister and smiling at himself.
"Yo, Brother Ye has come back from outside, this is the second time I've been looking for you today, by the way, I haven't congratulated you on becoming a disciple of the inner court. Zhou Meng said angrily.
"What are you doing here?" Ye Chong couldn't help frowning.
"Look at you, we have all stayed in the outer courtyard before, just don't invite me in to sit down, it's so polite to speak, I came to you, of course there is something, there is something very important. Zhou Meng's eyes rolled slightly.
"If there's anything, just say it here. ”
"Hey, after becoming a disciple of the inner court, my temper has risen a lot. Well, let's talk about it here. Zhou Meng glanced around, and then said: "I don't know if you know, Prince Yang has been in the limelight in the Shenjiang Courtyard recently, and in the past two days, I have also been fortunate to be invited to go out for a meal with Prince Yang and them." ”
Wei Yang originally came here to win people's hearts, but Ye Chong raised his head, "What does this have to do with me?
"Don't worry, don't worry, when you're in a hurry. Zhou Meng smiled and said: "When I was drinking that day, I happened to hear about one thing, that is, ......"
Speaking of this, he stared at Ye Chong and said, "Ten days ago, that is, when we started in the back mountain, and finally my thigh was injured, Lord Dean was in the palace, discussing with King Wei about Prince Yang's participation in the assessment of the disciples of the inner court. ”
Ye Chong's eyes narrowed.
I only heard Zhou Meng continue: "In other words, it wasn't the dean who hurt me that day! You lied, you did it!"
"What?" Ye Chong chuckled, "You want revenge?"
"Revenge? I guess I'm not your opponent now, how could I be stupid enough to seek revenge on you. The corners of Zhou Meng's mouth hooked up wickedly, "I heard that your father Ye Chonglou has an unpredictable murderous weapon, I think, you used that at that time, hurt me, right?"
Ye Chong's eyes became gloomy.
"Why? You want to kill me? I'm sorry, but I told my cousin about it before I came to you. Zhou Meng said proudly: "Ye Chong, you have two choices now, the first is to hand over the unpredictable murderous weapon to me, and the second is to kill me, and then my cousin will spread your affairs, guess how many people will covet this thing and come to you for trouble?"
