Chapter 193: A Great Gift of Thanks
Zhao Que looked at Huang Fenglan, who was walking quite chicly, and the corners of his mouth were smiling.
When Huang Fenglan stopped him on the street, trying to rely on the means of the side door, hoping to steal the luck on his body, the feeling of being pricked by a bee needle stabbed his skin stinged.
When he was in Xisai, he was extremely sensitive to this kind of pain, and the Qi Refiners of the Hanshan Dynasty were always thinking about stealing his luck and making him not a favor on the battlefield.
However, he was not the master at that time, and he still had several methods to crack, and these methods were taught to him by King Yu, after all, King Yu, who had been in charge of Xisai for many years, was familiar with the various techniques of the Hanshan Dynasty.
Chinese New Year's Pass.
Zhao Que, who walked out of the alley and returned to the street, looked at the joy on the faces of the pedestrians, and couldn't help but smile on his face.
Relying on the feng shui luck of Jingxing Linfeng and Yu Kangcheng, he did have the confidence to make a few moves with those big masters in Jingshu City, but after all, he went to the wrong door, and if the time of the fight was a little longer, he would not only fall into the disadvantage, but the danger also increased sharply, maybe he missed and fell in Jingshu City.
According to the previous experience of the eight-phase dragon python's counterattack, the time of the supernatural counterattack is really unclear, there will be a little more at night, and there are many times during the day.
The so-called gains must be lost, and after gaining the feng shui luck of Yu Kangcheng, what was lost was the curse that he had been worried about before, and the curse caused by the use of cold-blooded meditation, the backlash of the eight-phase dragon python, as if there was no opponent in an instant, and it could directly smash the yellow dragon to make Zhao Que feel huge unbearable pain.
As for the next curse, if you invite the next curse, you are as bold as Zhao Que, and you don't dare to do it, who knows how powerful the next curse will be, if you don't get killed by the eight-phase dragon python, but let the curse kill him, but everything will be over.
"Freshly baked sugar buns, delicious, guest, come buy a taste?"
"Sugar Man...... Sugar Man...... Delicious sugar man ......"
"The roast chicken that just came out of the stove, the roast chicken that makes people drool, hurry up and buy it, it will be gone after a while. ”
"Selling festive blessing words, the last few ......"
"Hey...... Glutinous ...... Glutinous ......"
Zhao Que couldn't help but buy a sugar bun.
The vendor said that the skin was full of sugar, and the customers were careful to burn their mouths.
Zhao Que believed it was true, and cautiously took a small bite, it was still noodles, there was no sugar water, and another bite was sugar, maybe the time it was dried outside was much longer than the hawker said, and the sugar water was formed into small pieces.
However, the sugar buns are really delicious.
Before he traveled far to join the army, Zhao Que was in Qingshi City when he was a teenager, and he also loved a mouthful of sugar buns.
Zhao Ya is busy with his livelihood, even after the days are much better, he also has no time to do it for Zhao Que, he can only go to the market to buy, there is a shop specializing in selling sugar buns, after returning to Qingshi City, he also deliberately went to see, the shop has changed, although it still sells sugar buns, but the taste is not as good as before.
After traveling westward, he was once ordered to go to Fengshahe Prefecture to receive grain and grass, smelled the sweet fragrance of sugar buns, and took on the mission, so he could only swallow the air in a big gulp, and he ate a few sugar buns to his heart's content.
In front of the store of the silver flower pie, it is not closed in the year.
On either side of the door, two huge red lanterns are hung.
Sticking to the spring couplets.
The people of Jingshu City still lined up in front of the store.
Zhao Que inquired.
The shop is cheaper today than in the past, and all the goods that have not been sold will be sold today.
"Childe, you're also here to buy rouge, right? Good vision, the rouge of the honeysuckle shop is second to none in our Jingshu City, and the other rouge shops are not said to be expensive, and the effect is not better than the honeysuckle shop, you buy it today, that is, you earn it, even if you don't use it, sell it, and the selling price is definitely several times higher than when you bought it." ”
It was a young woman who was talking to Zhao Que.
Dress smartly.
Not only warm, but also good-looking.
Zhao Que took a rough look and knew that she must be from a big family.
The young woman gushed: "My skin is special, and I am prone to acne by applying the rouge of other shops, but I have no problem with the rouge of the honeysuckle shop." It's a conscience shop. ”
Zhao Que didn't know anything about rouge, so he could only nod with a smile.
"By the way, don't cut the queue, but if you are caught by the people in the silver flower shop, even if you are a good student in the queue to buy it in the future, it will not be sold to you. ”
"Thank you. ”
"By the way, what is Childe's surname?" The young woman asked, looking at Zhao Que's handsome face.
Zhao Que was indeed suave, and when the young woman talked to him, her little heart was pounding, and she couldn't help blushing.
She clutched her handkerchief in both hands and waited quietly for his reply.
Zhao Que's mind was full of how to speak when he saw Ninth Elder Chai Xingxiang next, and he came back to his senses a little, and saw the young woman looking at him stupidly.
Zhao Que smiled: "There are still important things to do, so I won't bother the girl." ”
"Hey, how can it be bothering, my name is Wang Lan'er, just call me Lan'er, may I ask, what is the child's surname, where does the family live?
Wang Lan'er didn't give up, and when Zhao Que wanted to take Rongxue and go to the door of the store to ask the disciples of the Silver Flower Sect to inform the Nine Elders, Wang Lan'er couldn't help but hold Zhao Que's sleeve.
Zhao Que pulled the sleeve out of her hand without leaving a trace, and smiled lightly: "In Xia Zhao Que, he is not from Jingshu City. ”
"Oh, it's a guest from afar, my family likes to entertain guests the most, Childe only needs to tell what he saw and heard on the road, my father who likes to listen to landscape travels, will definitely treat Childe well. Wang Lan'er was pleasantly surprised.
Zhao Que shook his head slowly.
"Miss Wang's kindness, in the heart of the heart, but, things are urging people, in the next can not go to Miss Wang's house as a guest, so let's be, in the next is also a person who likes to make friends, Miss Wang might as well leave an address, and when I am busy with the matter at hand, I will immediately go to be a brazen guest, how about it?"
Wang Lan'er smiled happily and squinted, holding a handkerchief in one hand to shyly cover the half of the makeup she had applied before going out, and said her home address like a mosquito, "Childe, remember, after I go home, I will talk to the servant in front of the door, when Childe arrives and says my name Wang Lan'er, they will welcome Childe into the house." ”
Zhao Que pretended to be overjoyed, and thanked him: "Then bother my uncle." ”
"Don't bother, don't bother, the son is dignified, and his eyes are bright, and he is in a hurry between the mountains and rivers, the little woman likes it, and the father likes it too. Wang Lan'er smiled lightly.
Zhao Que doesn't know the roots of the family in Jingshu City, in fact, the Wang family where Wang Lan'er is located is enough to rank among the top twenty, and the ancestors have accumulated a huge family business for generations, and there are countless shops in Jingshu City, and the Wang family has thirty small ones, plus the farms outside the city, the Wang family is really not to be underestimated.
It's just that Wang Lan'er likes to do everything herself, and her father is obedient to her, so Wang Lan'er secretly ran out of her house today to buy the rouge of the honeysuckle pie, in fact, with the Wang family's family business, talk to the honeysuckle pie, and the honeysuckle pie will send someone to send it.
Melting Snow snorted.
Wang Lan'er rarely took her eyes off Zhao Que's face, looked at the melting snow, and exclaimed, "What a horse." ”
Zhao Que laughed a few times, without saying a word, and led the melting snow to the store of the Silver Flower Pie.
As soon as Zhao Que led Rongxue to the store, some disciples turned around and entered the shop, and went to look for the Nine Elders who were so busy that their heads were full of pimples.
The Nine Elders were immediately pleasantly surprised.
Looking at the female disciple who came to inform her, she was surprised: "Is it really the white horse that passed in front of our shop yesterday?"
"Elder Huijiu, absolutely, that son personally led the white horse, and now, he is at the door of the shop. ”
"Quickly welcome the son to the room where the distinguished guests are received, and after settling the account, I will go immediately. Jiuchang instantly flipped through the ledger impatiently.
The head of the Yinhua faction issued an order a few days ago, the Yinhua faction was in the stronghold of Jingshu City, and at the end of the year, six masters were in charge, she returned to the Yinhua faction, and everyone spent a reunion Spring Festival together.
It's just that the business of the Silver Flower Sect in Jingshu City is too good, even if the Nine Elders are not idle for a moment, until today, the accounts of the year have not been sorted out, but it is also fast, it is estimated that it will be finished in the afternoon, and then quickly rush to the sect.
But Zhao Que came with the melting snow, which exceeded the expectations of the Nine Elders.
She also thought that the words that Zhao Que said yesterday were just prevarication.
The strong man with the ledger is arm high, and there are six henchmen by his side, helping the Nine Elders.
After a while, after taking a sip of the dried flower tea brewed in the tea bowl, the Ninth Elder said: "You check the account just calculated for me, if it is confirmed, then continue to calculate the next account for me, there are few accounts." ”
"But Nine Elders, according to the rules of the sect, this kind of thing shouldn't be interfered with. A disciple couldn't help but say.
A pen account means countless amounts of money, and this kind of thing related to the foundation of the Silver Flower Sect is also the master that the Nine Elders can do.
"Before, I took a general look, and the number on the account was almost the same as the number in the sect treasury, but now I just check and fill in the gaps, and see if there are any omissions......
The Nine Elders all said this, and it was difficult for them to refuse again, so they had to nod their heads and agree.
Resting on other sects, this kind of trivial matter has long been ordered to the disciples, but the rules of the Yinhua Sect are many and heavy, the head of the sect is high, the fireworks are not close, and the people are not close, and they don't understand how hard it is for these elders who work weekdays.
Push open the door.
Heading towards the room where the distinguished guests were received in the shop, the Nine Elders couldn't help but use martial arts to hurry.
That white horse is definitely not ordinary, once it is purchased from that handsome young man, and it changes hands in the horse market in Jingshu City, the silver flower pie will definitely make a lot of money, and the head of the family will also favor her, from the word nine, to eight, to become eight elders, and the hope is great.
There was something else behind the shop, and the Nine Elders turned the corner and stopped suddenly.
The undercurrent of Jingshu City is surging, although the Silver Flower Sect has not intervened in this matter, but the big matter under the nose, the Silver Flower Sect is not completely ignorant, if, in addition to the horses, and then the Silver Flower Sect is in the fire, is it from the Nine Elders to the Seven Elders one step at a time?
The current Seventh Elder, whose eyes are above the top, Chai Xingxiang has not been pleasing to her eyes for a long time, so she took this opportunity to pull her down in one fell swoop, and afterwards, she had to show off well in front of the Seventh Elder, and spread all the anger of the past.
Zhao Que led the melting snow here, and the ninth elder knew that the matter had become eight or nine points, as long as she said the price into the young man's heart, the white horse would definitely become her bag.
"Nine Elders ......"
The disciple carrying the rouge passed by the smiling Nine Elders and whispered hello.
The Ninth Elder sighed, his smile disappeared instantly, nodded, and walked quickly to the room where Zhao Que was.
The nine elders of the Silver Flower Sect are not low, not to mention, the business she is responsible for is extremely important in the Silver Flower Sect, if the Silver Flower Sect is not a Jianghu sect, but a family under the mountain, I am afraid that Chai Xingxiang's status is second only to the head of the family.
Got to the door.
The Ninth Elder took a few deep breaths, put on an amiable face, and pushed the door open.
The aroma of tea and sweetness permeated the room.
In front of Zhao Que was good tea and a few plates of good desserts.
"Ninth Elder saw the melting snow?" Zhao Que got up and asked.
The Ninth Elder is good at human feelings, "I saw it, I saw it, I was tied to the courtyard, I don't know if the son is leading the melting snow, what's the matter?"
Although he knew his purpose, however, the Nine Elders did not say anything full, and for the rest, let Zhao Que say the words of selling horses by himself, so that there was room to talk about the price.
The two sat down facing each other.
The Ninth Elder seemed to be calm and relaxed, pinched a piece of cake as white as snow and put it in his mouth.
Pastries melt in your mouth.
Sweet and not greasy.
The pastries made by the honeysuckle pie are also a must, in the shop in Jingshu City, the business is not a few points smaller than the rouge shop, but the pastry shop needs many chefs who are good at making pastries, unlike rouge, which can completely stock up and sell it, and the pastry shop can only be made and sold, so, in the accounts, the money obtained by the rouge shop is not comparable to the pastry shop at all, although the reputation and popularity of the pastry shop are comparable to the rouge shop.
"The pastries are delicious. Zhao Que chuckled, since the Nine Elders were going around, he would just play with her.
After all, this deal with the Silver Flower Sect was not a matter of money at all.
"The pastries that Childe eats are sold in the pastry shop of Jingshu City by our Silver Flower Pie, if Childe likes to eat, I will order someone to bring more for Childe, and Childe will take it back and give it to his family to taste. ”
The Ninth Elder said politely.
Zhao Que was not polite: "I don't know how long the pastries made by the shop have been stored?"
"Don't worry, if you can't finish eating, put it for seven or eight days, there is no problem, our pastry shop has a unique craft, and the storage time is far from being comparable to the pastries made by other pastry shops. The Ninth Elder smiled.
Her words have the flavor of bragging.
Zhao Que bowed: "That...... Elder Wangjiu ordered someone to bring pastries for about twenty people to eat. ”
"Oh, is there a lot of people in Childe's family?"
"No, I haven't eaten such a delicious pastry for a long time, and I hope that not only myself, but also my family will let go of my stomach to eat. ”
The Ninth Elder was not impressed, nodded and said, "Okay, Childe, wait a minute, I will now order someone to order the cook of the pastry shop to make the hot pastries that are baked more delicious." ”
Zhao Que thanked: "Thank you, Elder Nine." ”
"No thanks, after all, the business you and I will talk about next is far from being comparable to this pastry. ”
The Nine Elders meant something.
Zhao Que lived like a philistine scoundrel, and hummed, "Even if this deal can't be negotiated, it won't be a loss." ”
The Ninth Elder smiled: "I don't know what the number is in the child's heart?"
Zhao Que unhurriedly picked up the teacup and took a sip of hot tea, "I also want to ask, how far can the Ninth Elder go?"
"Naturally, it is out of the field where I have the final say, no matter how high it is, I have to go back to the sect and let the head or the great elder nod and agree. ”
"Then again, to what extent does the Ninth Elder have the final say?"
This stumped the Nine Elders.
Telling the truth is not right with lying.
"Why don't you say the amount in your heart first, if you can agree, let's make a decision together?" the Ninth Elder asked tentatively.
Zhao Que suddenly laughed, and quickly reversed: "It's really too tacky to exchange money for melting snow." ”
"Oh, what does the little brother want?" The Ninth Elder was stunned in his heart, and said secretly, he wouldn't want the beautiful female disciple of the Silver Flower Sect to follow him, right? However, this matter is not worth mentioning compared to the benefits obtained, if Zhao Que's request is really this, if she returns to the sect tonight, no matter what, she has to let the head of the sect nod and agree.
After a pause, the Ninth Elder smiled again: "Indeed, Melting Snow is strangely unlikely, using worldly money to exchange with little brother for Melting Snow, it is simply insulting it." ”
Zhao Que picked up the tea bowl again, brought it to his mouth, put it down, stared at the Nine Elders who still had the charm, and a little anger appeared in the heart of the Nine Elders when he looked at them, and said, "Do business, everything can be discussed?"
"Little brother, there are some things that cannot be discussed. ”
"For example?"
"For example, the Silver Flower Pie or I care about something very much. ”
"Well, what I'm going to exchange with the Silver Flower Sect must not be something you care about. ”
At this moment, the Ninth Elder was puzzled, "Little brother, please speak." ”
"Help me find someone. ”
"Who, man, woman?"
"I don't know. ”
"Hehe, that's right, if it's that simple, a little brother with a god horse like Rongxue doesn't need a silver flower pie at all. ”
The Nine Elders continued to ask, "Where is he?"
"It should be in Jingshu City. Zhao Que said.
If you go any further, you will have the deal finalized.
The Nine Elders frowned.
Ling Yinhua faction found someone, but she could exchange for snowmelt, and she didn't even dare to agree to this matter for a moment.
"May I ask the little brother, are you just looking for him?"
Zhao Que smiled: "Of course, it's best to find him and kill him." ”
The Ninth Elder pinched a piece of pastry and put it in his mouth.
Thoughtful.
"Can I take a closer look at the snowmelt?"
"Accompany the Nine Elders below. ”
Out the door.
The two stood on the left and right of the snowmelt.
Rongxue lowered his horse's head to Zhao Que, and he touched Rongxue's mane.
"Does the Ninth Elder know that this horse is rare in the world?" Zhao Que asked.
The Ninth Elder didn't know what was going on suddenly, and his heart suddenly chuckled, "How rare is it?"
"Another snowmelt horse known to Zhao died in the north, and the general it belongs to is naturally a famous general. Zhao Que said.
The Nine Elders were silent.
Wait a minute.
Secluded Path,
"The little brother's family background is not simple, even this can be known. ”
"Haha...... The Ninth Elder laughed, where is it not simple? Anyone who pays attention to the war in the north can see the word melting snow from the newspaper of the official mansion. ”
"In that case, melting snow, I suddenly dare not ask for it. "The Ninth Elder's face is not good-looking.
Zhao Que said with a smile: "If Rongxue is sent by Yinhua, if you add oil and vinegar to tout, you may be able to sell it for a sky-high price that even the Nine Elders dare not think of." ”
Priceless!
Not being impressed is fake.
The Nine Elders touched the body of the snowmelted horse, and there had never been such a moment, and his heart was beating out of his throat.
"Little brother, please go back to the room. ”
Zhao Que followed behind the Nine Elders and re-entered the room.
He was still very satisfied with this Nine Elders of the Silver Flower Sect.
From the beginning to the present, she did not show the slightest killing intent, but sat down and discussed slowly.
"I've thought about it, Childe, I've made this deal. The Ninth Elder thought for a long time before he said seriously.
In the end, it was fame and fortune that overcame her worries.
After buying the melting snow and then selling it at a sky-high price, her status in the sect will rise to another level, perhaps, two steps may not be indicated.
If she is added to the undercurrent of Jingshu City, and strives for some more benefits for the Silver Flower Sect, the head of the sect and other elders will all be impressed by her.
Two things, the Nine Elders decided in their hearts.
It has to be done.
"A word is a certainty?" Zhao Que asked solemnly.
The Ninth Elder was crisp and neat: "One word is the !!"
"Okay, I'll talk about it later. ”
"Listen up. ”
"I have a distant cousin who was killed in the street market of Jingshu City. ”
"May I ask what is your cousin's name?"
"Song Qi. ”
"Which street?"
"Yushan Street. ”
"What does your cousin look like?"
Zhao Que probably said it, and the Nine Elders secretly kept in mind that after Zhao Que left, she still needed to tell her disciples about Song Qi's appearance and order her disciples to draw them.
Take this painting and go to Yushan Street to ask the people who are there all the year round.
Zhao Que said: "Ninth Elder, I know the power of the Silver Flower Sect in the local area, if you find someone who killed my cousin, but you can't kill him, please tell me." ”
The Nine Elders' brows gradually relaxed.
but my heart was tightened.
What does this mean?
You can kill someone who can't be killed by the Silver Flower Sect?
After thinking about it, the Nine Elders instantly understood.
What a distant cousin......
Zhao Que's true identity will not be as simple as he said, the young man who can have melting snow, how deep the background is, the ninth elder can't figure it out, but she understands that even Zhao Que can't do it if she looks for a needle in a haystack in Jingshu City, and she needs to use the melting snow and the silver flower pie to make a pile deal.
"Childe...... please"
The Nine Elders stopped talking about the little brother.
"Nine Elders, please speak. ”
"Childe is also here to fight for the sword?" she said carefully.
Zhao Que smiled: "If you tell the truth, I don't know if the Nine Elders will believe it." ”
"I believe what Childe said. ”
"On the next pass by Jingshu City. Zhao Que said softly.
The Ninth Elder sighed: "It turns out that the identity of the prince is actually like this. ”
"Haha...... I wonder what Elder Nine thought of?"
"There are all kinds of forces in Jingshu City, Gongzi must be a big man in which force, and Brother Song Qi is a very important person to Gongzi, right?"
Immediately, Zhao Que said something that made the Nine Elders confused.
"Song Qi's identity is very important to me and to many people. ”
"I wonder how important it is?"
"When you see him, you have to bow and thank him. ”
The Ninth Elder was numb.
