I really can't understand, I can't understand that in this world, there are still businessmen who are not greedy for money.

Zhong Xihou repeatedly destroyed the inn, and lost the money again and again, but he was also helpless. After being ridiculed by Yan Hude several times, he couldn't hold back, and went directly to the shopkeeper to negotiate the purchase of the five-story inn. But he was stunned about how Zhong Xihou bid, and the middle-aged beard was indifferent, only playing with the abacus there, telling Zhong Xihou how much silver to pay this time.

At dawn, before noon, the lord of a city was driven out of the inn by a merchant.

In a fit of anger, Zhong Xihou was ready to buy a big house in Jinling City, but Zhong Xihou had a bad habit, that is, he didn't like to bring money when he went out, and this time it was the same. After thinking about it and thinking about it again, after returning to the restaurant where Qu Tianqin lived with Zang Yan, he went to find Qu Tianqin first.

Before entering the house, he was told that Miss Qu had gone on a parade in the street, and Qin Ji and Maiji were also taken out together.

Zhong Xihou couldn't help but touch his chin, and the change in the expression of that black face was quite interesting. Qu Tianqin will take the two of them to get rid of the streets? I always feel that it is the sentence of the Central Plains, there must be demons when things are impermanent.

Then, he dropped a few coppers and went out.

Zhong Xihou found three people in a jewelry firm, some days have not seen each other, Qu Tianqin, a little girl from the West, although she is brutal, she is still arrogant, but she can change into Hanfu, dress up and smear rouge, and she is as shy and lovely as a Jiangnan woman. But as soon as he saw that the person who came was Zhong Xihou, he immediately showed his original form, obviously with a skirt on his body, he instinctively knelt down on one knee and almost fell to the ground, which made those guys laugh, which was even more interesting.

The dancing girl who was drinking tea on the seat sneered mercilessly, and the ridicule made the smell of gunpowder permeate and thick, but Naqin Ji couldn't help frowning when she saw that Sister Zang Yan was on the same page with the crazy girl in the West.

Zhong Xihou didn't look at Zang Yan squarely, no one could know, the Xisha arrogant tiger in the thirteen fierce tigers in the world was beating so fast at this moment that it seemed to jump out of his chest.

Zhong Xihou followed Qu Tianqin to the room, he carefully looked at Qu Tianqin again, and then looked around at the number one jeweler in the Jinling line, it was well organized, it seemed that those gentlemen had trained Qu Tianqin well.

Where did Zhongxihou know that Qu Tianqin, except for receiving an abacus and a lot of blue ledgers, really hadn't done anything serious.

Qu Tianqin's big eyes blinked and stared straight at Zhong Xihou, which made Zhong Xihou not know how to speak.

Zhong Xihou was stared at uncomfortably, coughed lightly, stood up and walked a few steps, and said slowly: "Can you get used to the habits of the Central Plains people recently?"

"Except for the fact that I can't get used to eating rice, everything else is okay, Master Hou is ······"

Zhongxi Hou was squeaking, ready to prevaricate, Yan Hudeliang didn't know when he was outside the door, and he didn't knock on the door, he pushed it open and entered.

This person was ruthless, didn't give any face, and said directly: "Master Hou is short of money······

It's fun now, one looks at a loss, and the other has a black face that is a little red.

Zhongxi Hou was angry, but Yan Hude had a naughty smile on his face, this Xiao Liang, what is wrong today? In the past, he was a complete servant in front of outsiders, but now he doesn't leave half a place for himself to retreat, isn't it that he has stayed in Jinling for a long time, and people have changed?

Yan Hudeliang sat on the mahogany Taishi chair by himself, carrying a pot and pouring tea. The color of the tea flowing out of the purple clay pot is red and bright, I have never seen it, Yan Hude poured himself a cup of tea, took a sip, his expression did not change, but he praised: "The taste is sweet and special, I have never tasted it." ”

Zhong Xihou was also curious, and also filled a cup for himself, took a sip slightly, and opened his eyes wide, he didn't like to drink tea, but this taste was special, and he drank the tea soup in the cup, and the aftertaste lingered for a long time. Qu Tianqin saw that Zhong Xihou, who didn't like to drink tea in the past, also loved this tea so much, and immediately made people brew it.

Zhong Xihou and Yan Hude are also interesting, but they are drunk with the fragrance of tea and forget the purpose of coming.

It was dark, and Qu Tianqin asked people to prepare wine and food, and Zhong Xihou remembered this purpose.

"Lyra, how much silver does Mani still have?"

Qu Tianqin believed Yan Hude's first words now, and turned his head to look at Yan Hudeliang, this person, leaning on the chair, fell asleep.

"The cash is about two thousand taels, and the rest is deposited in Baotong Commercial Bank and Qianming Qianming Bank. How much does Master Hou need, Tianqin will immediately send someone to exchange it tomorrow morning. ”

How much silver does an eleven-sized mansion cost? People like Zhong Xihou don't have much idea of money, so he had to ask Qu Tianqin: "Tianqin, how much silver does such a house in Jinling Wangfu cost?"

Qu Tianqin was really dumbfounded, and replied tremblingly: "Master Hou still don't think about it." ”

Zhong Xihou frowned, what does this mean, he is in the City Lord's Mansion in the City that Never Sleeps, although it is not as big as the Forbidden City of King Jinling, but in terms of quality, he will not lose half of it. Qu Tianqin understood Zhong Xihou's doubts and answered: "King Jinling's Forbidden City covers an area of about 900 acres, and it is said that it covered an area of more than 1,500 acres in the previous dynasty, and later it was demolished a lot for the sake of the face of the imperial capital. Stunned, there are only more than 900 acres left, and it is also a city, how can it be a house! Such a big house is not said to be no, let alone said that there is, and no one dares to buy it. ”

"Don't you can't afford it?"

"It's not that I can't afford it, it's that I don't dare to buy it. Don't say that there are only two Forbidden Cities in the world, and as far as our city lord's mansion in the west is concerned, there are only one or two in the world. ”

Zhong Xihou was a little curious, and asked, "Tianqin, how big is my Xidi City Lord's Mansion?"

Qu Tianqin blinked, frowned, estimated it, and said, "About four hundred acres of land." ”

"It's only so big?" Zhong Xihou was a little depressed, he felt that his City Lord's Mansion was quite good, even though he had lived for more than thirty years, he still hadn't figured out what buildings there were, "But strange, I don't think there is a difference between the size of his Jinling King's Forbidden City and my City Lord's Mansion?"

"Master Hou, have you only been to other people's East Palace and Imperial Garden? It is rumored that the Forbidden City once had 99,999 and a half rooms. Such a city is no longer a matter of money and power. A house wants to compete with the Son of Heaven, who would dare? Not to mention that the Hou Ye is the lord of the West, and when he buys a house in the city, he has to compete with the Son of Heaven and the king of a different place, how can this make ······?"

Zhong Xihou nodded, smiled slightly, and never expected that after coming to Jinling for less than two months and leaving him for less than ten days, this little girl had already studied so far, not bad. Similarly, the little girl also forgot that she is the lord of a city, and there are only two Forbidden Cities in the world.

Qu Tianqin's eyes rolled, as if he had thought of something, so he said happily with the child who picked the toy: "Master Hou, it's better to be like this, there is a big family surnamed Li in the south of the city, and there are a lot of properties under his name, so it is better to pawn a big mansion to live temporarily." ”

"Dian?"

"Come to the pawn room, a big house with three entrances and three exits, and it won't cost a few hundred taels to live for ten years. ”

"Lyra, do you want to rent a room under the fence alone?

Zhongxi Hou was obviously dissatisfied, Qu Tianqin was also a little helpless, and had to explain: "The pawn house is different from renting a house, if the Hou Ye pawns Li Dahu's house, this house will be the Hou Ye's ······ in the past ten years"

"No, it's still no different from renting, the lord of a lonely city, spend some silver to buy a house in Jinling, who dares to chew the root of the tongue?"

Qu Tianqin had no choice but to retreat and replied: "Eight facades, five floors in the end, the Yimen enters the hall, and the marquis of the house in the small courtyard of the flower pavilion is satisfied?"

"How much?"

"About fifteen hundred taels. ”

Zhong Xihou frowned, got up, took a few steps back and forth, as if he had made a decision: "In this way, Tianqin, you ask someone to help Gu go and have a look after dinner, can the house of 10,000 taels be sold in Jinling City? ”

Qu Tianqin's eyes widened, as if he didn't know what to say, and Zhong Xihou added: "Don't forget, prepare a one-acre martial arts training ground for Lonely." ”

A little girl came into the house, respectfully, without fear, and reported: "Hui Qu Niang, the wall in the lobby dedicated to the God of Wealth was marked with two big cuts, and it was fine before the meal, and it appeared when no one took care of it." ”

Zhong Xihou frowned slightly, there were two big cuts on the wall?

Qu Tianqin followed behind Zhong Xihou to see the big mouth, and Yan Hudeliang didn't know when he woke up, so he also followed.

When Zhongxi Hou arrived in the lobby, he saw Qin Ji shrunk in Zang Yan's arms, trembling, and the red-haired dancer still looked arrogant.

Zhong Xihou wanted to speak and stopped, ignored it for the time being, and looked at the two big openings on the wall.

Zhongxihou and Yan Hude may be curious about those two big mouths, but what Qu Tianqin cares about is still the matter of picking a house for Zhongxihou. A house of 10,000 taels, where does she want to find such a house for Zhong Xihou?

Zhong Xihou stared at the sword qi on the wall, his eyes staring. The sword qi that can draw this kind of scar, that swordsman is not only extraordinary, but the sword in his hand must also be a famous product. "Xiao Liang, do you know that Emperor Yin once sent people to pursue the thirteen swordsmen in the world. ”

"General Han of the Seven Star Sword is his general, and the Mo family of the amorous Mo Yu Sword is the son-in-law of Prince Zhu of Lincheng. The owner of the Dancing Goose Sword is the Lord of the City that never sleeps, so what other famous sword does he need?"

"I've guessed, but I don't care, at least, Wu Yan Sword, he can't control it. Xiao Liang, how do you get rid of your resentment?"

"I don't hate, all I want to do is revive the three states. Yan Hu Deliang also looked at the sword qi on the wall, this swordsman's technique was also extremely similar to Zhongxi Hou's, "Master Hou, this person is an old man?"

"Indeed, he was telling me that he was coming. ”

"Since the old man is here, how does the Hou Ye plan to entertain him?"

Zhong Xihou drew his sword, he flicked the blade of the sword with his middle finger, and said crisply: "Xiao Liang, the sound is crisp?"

"The sound of the sword should have been like the sound of the wind, like silk and satin, but today the sound is like a wind with dust. Yan Hude pressed his hand on the sword, "Master Hou, your sword?"

"Some people have said that this sword will break, I believe it, and some people say that this sword has been broken, and it is a dead sword in itself, I have not asked her, but the time is really coming. Now, it is difficult to explain what will happen to the dancing pheasant. Zhong Xihou put the sword back into its sheath again, "This sword has been with me for more than twenty years, and it's time to let it rest." He unsheathed his saber from his waist and rummaged through the room, until at last he found a broken wooden box and put it in as a sword case.

"There is no Zhongxihou who dances the sword, but he is still Zhongxihou?"

"A big worm with a tooth extracted still has a claw. ”

"Then will Master Hou go to meet the master of this rain sword?"

"Since you are here, there is naturally no reason not to see it. Zhong Xihou, who said this, was extremely free, just like the hero in the villain book, who walked alone for thousands of miles without leaving his name, but soon, he asked again, "Xiao Liang, can you find the fist shock in the spring and autumn?"

The meaning of Zhong Xihou's question was naturally obvious, and Yan Hu Deliang was also full of embarrassment, unwilling to pay attention to the city lord of the Western Land.

Qu Tianqin was a little puzzled, and asked Yan Hude after Zhongxi Hou left: "Wolf cub, why does Master Hou have to find that fist shock Chunqiu?"

Yan Hude didn't care about Qu Tianqin's name for himself, he smiled, and said, "Naturally, you won't know that Hou Ye has a lot of skills, and among them, his boxing skills rank second. ”

Qu Tianqin thought about it, and he was right, a generation of great swordsmen, even if he didn't have a sword, he should be a peerless master.

The power of Lincheng is not the largest among the twelve cities, and it is not as good as the city that never sleeps in the west in terms of wealth, but when it comes to the variety of people in the city, it is really not comparable to other cities.

The people in Lincheng have leftovers from the rich's three meals and leftover meat, and there are also poor people who can only drink porridge all year round. There are knights who maintain peace, and there are sinners who do all kinds of evil. It's weird, and all the opposite things coexist in Lincheng.

Zhong Xihou was dressed in the clothes of a literati, and if he didn't look at that face, this person must not be the one who read the books of sages. Interestingly, it's just a matter of wearing clothes that don't match your breath, but why is Pian Pian Zhong Xihou so dark that he doesn't need to wear night clothes at night, Pian Pian wants to pick a dress that is as clear as snow, this contrast is inevitably interesting and a little funny.

Although Zhong Xihou changed his outfit, in addition to being slightly funny, he could still see that the hidden murderous aura was the same as the domineering spirit.

"Bamboo leaves have good wine, but no one knows it, and the tea of the same name is also of the highest quality. Zhu Jiannan put down the porcelain cup, and this time, the Xindu man also sat with him. At his side was the holy relic of Xindu, the big iron sword.

"It's a kind of luck to be able to drink tea with the prince. ”

"But I don't know how many more times there will be such an opportunity. ”

"Since I don't know if there will be a next time after this time, why not cherish it?"

"The autumn leaves are gone, and the flowers will bloom next year, who will return?"

These people are also more or less curious, and they want to ask and stop, Zhongxi Hou is a swordsman, and he is also a swordsman who wears a famous sword. In that case, why didn't he have that famous sword hanging from his waist on this day?

"How many spring breezes do flowers bloom and fall? Flowers bloom and people fall like the old? These are all the troubles that the literati ask for themselves. Okay, then today Lone will fulfill his promise to the son. Zhu Jiannan stared at this man, promise, which promise is it?"

"What does the city lord mean that the city lord has decided to teach Ichino Kendo?"

"This man and I are at odds with each other, and we are alone, and it is inevitable that the stones will hit each other and grind their edges. ”

"What is the city lord going to do?"

Zhong Xihou stared at the big man beside Zhu Yiying, and this Xindu man also looked up at the city lord of the western land.

"I don't understand, since Yi Shui Han is a master like a cloud, why don't you let this Yi Shui Han master be this sword grinding stone?"

"It's just that this sword is too dazzling, and these sword grinding stones dare not touch it. ”

"Once the horse is delicate, it begins to pick up the saddle. Lone never thought that there was anyone in the world whose swordsmanship was better than Lone, but this person, Lone didn't dare to say that swordsmanship was above him. ”

"Is there really such a person?" Zhu Yanan's eyes rolled, and several names flashed in his mind, all of them were contemporary kendo masters, and finally shook his head secretly, these people could not have such a relationship with Zhongxi Hou.

"A long time ago, there was another sword like a dancing sword, called Tingyu. And this person is the current Sword Master of Listening to the Rain. ”

"Listen to the rain sword, lord?"

The eternal autumn is sad, and the Xisha is dancing again.

Unfinished variables, the east snow smells bad and the rain is heard.

The world and the rivers and lakes, one change in three years, one change in five years, ten years, and it is a reincarnation update. Zhong Nanyan's era has passed a long way, so when was the glory of the era of the Sword Lord of Listening to Rain?
