『Volume 2: The Golden Volume』 "Xia Kexing" Chapter 12 The Amazing Son of a Loser
"Do you want to pay it back?" asked Childe again in a reluctant manner.
"Don't worry, I won't go unpaid. Yinxia replied angrily.
"Then you owe me twice now. Childe Ye deliberately stretched out two fingers and shook them in front of her eyes.
"Got it, it's really long-winded!" Yinxia impatiently brushed his hand away, "We people from the Western Regions are not as cunning as you Central Plains people. The words I speak can be used as silver flowers in the city of Yidu. ”
"After that, I will be a guest in Yidu City, but I will all point to you. Childe blinked.
"No problem. Yinxia replied casually, her eyes suddenly darkened. Gaochang has fallen for many years, and today's Yidu city has long since lost its former prosperity.
Glancing at her, Childe Ye said, "Since you are so hospitable, I should also do my best as a host and take you, a partner, out for a walk." Save yourself from having nothing to do and causing trouble again. ”
"How can I cause trouble!" Yinxia was furious when she heard this.
"Yes, yes, I was wrong. The princess never causes trouble, it's all things that cause the princess. Gongzi Ye smiled and changed his words, "Although the Guanhui City in Jiangnan is not as good as the princess's Yidu Protector, it is also very lively." Anyway, you have nothing to do, why don't you go out and relax?"
"Oh well. Yinxia was moved by what she said and nodded in agreement.
"This way, please. Childe bowed politely, but actually lowered his head and snickered. It seems that she doesn't understand the meaning of thinking behind closed doors.
The two turned out from behind the rockery, and when they reached the gate of the garden, a group of guests entered the garden.
The leader is a dignified and elegant middle-aged beautiful man. He was wearing a brocade robe and a hood, with a natural bearing, with a romantic charm after the vicissitudes of life. He is middle-aged and may be described as a little young, his temples are frosted, but there are almost no wrinkles on his face, his shoulders are broad and his back is broad, and his strong muscles are not sagging with age.
Beside him, like a starry moon, accompanied by three mature beauties with different temperaments, were chatting happily with the guests.
The middle-aged beautiful man's eyes swept sharply towards Gongziye's side, his eyes suddenly sank, his smile froze, and a pair of extraordinary thick eyebrows pressed down.
Childe raised his head, met his sharp eyes, and suddenly smiled, as if affectionately turned his head sideways and whispered to Yinxia: "The silver for the treat is here." ”
Yinxia was puzzled and was waiting to be inquired. saw him step forward and shouted at one of the beautiful women: "Aunt Jinluo, I can be regarded as finding you." ”
And when they heard the cry, they all looked elsewhere.
The beautiful woman who was called "Aunt Jinluo" pretended to ignore him, and had no choice but to stop at this time.
smiled and said "I'm sorry" to the lady next to her, she walked up to Gongzi Ye and asked with a cold face, "What's the matter with you?"
"Recently, I have been short of money, and I want to give Aunt Jinluo some silver flowers. Childe smiled before the night.
There was a hint of undisguised disgust in Jin Luo's eyes, "You've found the wrong person." The use of the house has always been the responsibility of talents. If you need it, go to him. ”
Childe Ye didn't seem to notice the other party's displeasure at all, and still smiled: "I have borrowed it from him." He said that this month's money had already been paid, and that he would have to wait for the next month. ”
"Then you'll have to wait until next month. Anyway, the house is all-inclusive, as long as you stay in the house, you don't need money. ”
"Today I have an important friend to invite, please ask Aunt Jinluo to borrow some silver for emergencies. ”
"I don't have any extra taels of silver here for you to invite those fox friends and dogs. Jin Luo impatiently refused.
"If my friends are fox friends and dog friends," Childe Ye suddenly smiled casually and hooked his finger at the ladies not far away, "Then what should these people be called?"
Jin Luo's face changed, and he was about to have a seizure, when several noble ladies came over curiously because they saw Gongziye's gesture.
"What are you talking about, Jinluo?" asked a noblewoman.
"Who is this?" said another noblewoman, looking at Childe. This son was born with a talent, and he has a bit of the temperament of Master Wen when he was young, and he is familiar with Jinluo, but she has never seen it.
"Little boy night. Childe gave a graceful salute to the ladies at night.
"We're just making small talk. Jin Luo intercepted, not wanting him to say more.
"Not bad. Childe smiled as she said, "We're making small talk about how friends interact with each other." ”
"It's a special topic. The lady nodded and asked, "Tell me what is the way of friendship between friends?"
"Speaking of the way of communication between friends...... Gongzi Ye took out a folding fan from his sleeve and tapped his cheek, "Buddhism talks about fate, Taoism talks about non-action, Confucianism talks about benevolence and righteousness, businessmen talk about integrity, and people in the rivers and lakes talk about sticking knives in the ribs for friends." ”
"That's a good point. The lady was interested in him, "I don't know where the son is?"
"Xiaosheng can be regarded as a person from the Wen Mansion. Seeing Jin Luo staring at him nervously, Childe smiled lazily at night, brushed the ground and unfolded the folding fan, shaking it in a variety of ways, "As for any kind of position, you might as well guess." ”
The noble lady guessed from Mr. Teaching to the Wen Mansion official, but he smiled and shook his head to deny it.
Another lady noticed the red marks on his face and couldn't help asking, "Why does your face look like you've been beaten?"
"That's because I had a strange thing that came true today. Childe's tone suddenly became mysterious.
"What miracle did you wish?" asked the ladies curiously.
Childe Ye glanced at Jinluo, who couldn't interject, and smiled even more.
"I spent the night at Silver Hook last night. When I came out in the morning, I felt hungry, so I went to the nearest Mingfeng Building and asked for two meats, two vegetables and a jar of old wine. Unexpectedly, after being full of wine and food, I touched my pocket and found that there were only four cents left. Only then did I remember that the silver taels on my body had lost all the money in the Silver Hook Casino. It may be that my bad luck when I entered the store attracted the attention of the shopkeeper. He's been eyeing me all the time. I didn't care about such trivial matters. But when he was shy, he was also stared at by him. As the saying goes, a penny is hard to beat a hero. If it was because of the money for a meal, it would be too embarrassing to be grabbed by the shopkeeper. Just as I was figuring out how to get out, a group of people came in outside. I looked at them with a familiar look, as if I had seen them in a gambling house. They asked for a table of wine and food, and after a few bites, they moved out of the place to gamble the money. I think it should be that the Silver Hook Gambling House only has a night game, and it closes at dawn, and they can't enjoy gambling, so they come here again to continue. Because they rewarded a lot of silver taels, the shopkeeper didn't care. Watching them shouting there made my hands itch too. So he said hello to one of the people he knew and stood next to him to help Zhuang. When the shopkeeper saw that I knew them, they didn't pay much attention to me, so I settled down in my heart and thought about playing for a while and slipping away. I didn't want to carry it at night, but it suddenly became prosperous at dawn. I used four cents to help the village, which side to help win, and after a while, I earned two dollars of silver. I'm glad that I don't have to worry about the wine money today, who would have thought that one of them would lose in a hurry, and see that I haven't lost and rely on me to pay a thousand. I'm denying it, of course. I didn't know that kid was really tasteless, and suddenly he slapped me. No, my face was red. However, the kid was immediately dragged by the people around him, and the shopkeeper hurriedly came up to persuade him for fear that something would happen. I walked out of the restaurant in a rage. Looking back, although I was slapped in the face, the matter of food money was solved. This slap is really worth it. You say, is this a miracle that comes true? Haha. ”
He laughed triumphantly, ignoring the awkward glances of the people around him.
"I've got some silver taels here, so use them." Jin Luo interrupted his laughter and quickly took the money bag from his bosom.
Childe Ye smiled slightly, but he didn't hurry to take it, "I don't know when I will be able to pay back this money." According to the rules of the Wen Mansion, how much interest do I have to pay?"
"You don't have to pay it back. Jin Luo looked gloomy and waved him to leave.
"Then it's disrespectful. Childe thanked him with a smile, and walked away with the stunned Yinxia.
The noble lady who came back to her senses pointed to his back and asked Jinluo, "Who is he in the house?"
Jin Luoqiang cheered up and replied vaguely: "His food and clothing are all provided by the house." ”
"It turned out to be a diner in your house. The lady nodded knowingly, "Your mansion is really as hospitable as rumored by the outside world." ”
Jin Luo lowered his eyelids, and secretly hated in his heart: If this is to let people know his true identity, the Wen Mansion will have to let him lose all his face.
She turned her head to look at the middle-aged beautiful man. The latter's eyes flashed sharply, and his meaning was deep and difficult to discern.
......
Walking outside the mansion gate, Yinxia suddenly stopped and asked, "Why did you lie just now?"
Childe Yeben had a relaxed face, and when he heard this, Yingying's eyes instantly froze. Many emotions flickered away, rebellious, angry, awe-inspiring, and even a little indescribable sadness. Then he returned to his usual appearance, holding his money bag, and smiled lazily: "Since you are going out to play, of course, you must have enough silver taels to have fun." And ......"
Yinxia interrupted him and said, "I'm not asking you about borrowing money. What I'm asking is, why are you lying to them?"
"Lying?" Childe was a little confused.
Yinxia nodded solemnly, "Lying is the beginning of becoming a liar. The crook will become a thief later, and the thief will become a robber later, and eventually he will become a traitor out of control. So, an upright person cannot lie. ”
Childe's night eyes flashed with surprise. After a pause, he said nonchalantly: "Who are you Dao that Jinluo? She is Wen Er's mother." She always thought I was a loser. In that case, I should be a loser, and if I weigh her heart, won't everyone be happy?"
"You're not a loser. Staring at him, Yinxia looked determined.
Childe was stunned for a moment, and then grinned and said, "You've only known me for a few days, how do you know what kind of person I am?"
"Although I don't know what kind of person you are, but ......" Yinxia took his hand and gently stroked his bloodshot fingertips, "The person who can play "Sunset of Mountains and Rivers" will definitely not be a loser. ”
In order to master this song, in addition to considerable hard work, it is also necessary to have a very high level of talent. If he can play this piece skillfully, he must be a man of great perseverance. Why describe yourself as a prodigal in the casino?
Is it because of that tune...... Childe laughed and retracted his hand silently, "What can a song say." There are many kinds of losers, such as me, who is a stunning talent, but secretly colludes with outsiders to lose. ”
"You're not. Yinxia looked at him intently. She had wronged him twice, but this time, she chose to believe him.
"Your weakness is that you trust people too easily. Seeing her serious face, Gongziye couldn't help but poke her forehead, "Don't forget that you also said that the people of the Central Plains are very cunning." So, you have to be careful. Maybe I'm a big liar, and you don't even know that I've sold you. ”
"I said you're not, you're not!" Yinxia's brows furrowed tightly, and she suddenly felt a little irritated. Although I don't know why he wants to destroy his image, he definitely doesn't give her the feeling of being that kind of person.
"Oh, why take it so seriously. Childe smiled idly at night, "Actually, what's the big deal about lying, who hasn't told a lie." ”
"I never lie, so you're not a loser. Yinxia looked at him fixedly and said seriously.
Childe avoided her gaze at the night, and his heart seemed to skip a beat.
It turns out that it is not only enchanting women who are seductive, sometimes a simple word can also be demagogic. Her eye sockets are slightly deep, and her long eyelashes are slightly curled, revealing her eyes with a striking beauty. However, the most special thing was the frank gaze in her eyes, which forced him to look directly at that moment just now.
A strange feeling passed through his heart, as if someone had swiped his fingertips on the heavy window paper, causing a glimmer of light to penetrate the dark hut.
But what a pity. Years ago, he had made up his mind. For him now, nothing compares to this business.
Everything will go according to plan and without any mistakes.
Shaking his head and waving away the strange movement in his heart, Childe regained his smile at night.
Flipping the money bag in his hand, he said, "It doesn't matter whether I'm a loser or not. The important thing is that now that we have the silver, we should spend it quickly. ”
