Chapter 61: The Pearl Appreciation Conference
The next day, the pearl appreciation meeting was held in the Ding family's mansion, and Qirong was invited to go, and on the way Qinghe asked, "Why don't you choose the Yujing Villa, which is larger in size and fame?"
Qi Rong answered for her as he walked: "Although Ding Mengchao is a disciple of the Imperial Mirror Villa, he is still young in seniority and is not qualified to represent the entire Imperial Mirror Villa. ”
Qinghe: "But there will definitely be the name of the owner of the Royal Mirror Mountain Villa on the invitation list." ”
Qi Rong nodded: "That's right, after all, public and private can't be confused." ”
The two talked all the way, and in a blink of an eye, they came to the Ding family's mansion.
The door was crowded with people from all over the world, all of whom had never seen before.
Qinghe looked at the luxuriously decorated mansion, every brick and tile showed the wealthy family, and the two big lions carved from gold and stone at the door were particularly eye-catching.
Qinghe sincerely sighed to Qi Rong: "It's still your aesthetics that are higher." ”
Qi Rong's eyes flashed with smugness, "Of course. ”
Walking in, some people noticed the arrival of Qirong, and they all came forward to greet them, most of them were business friends, and a few monks admired the name of Qirong and came to greet him.
Seeing that he was surrounded by the crowd, Qinghe took the initiative to step aside, wandering around, and as soon as he turned his head, he caught a glimpse of two familiar figures.
Miao'er pulled Yuan Xiu to squeeze around in the crowd, and she was about to come here.
Qinghe had no reason to feel empty-hearted, and just wanted to avoid it, but suddenly remembered that she had already taken off her disguise, and now she was just a stranger to Miao'er.
Standing still, he watched the two people slowly approach, and then passed by, and walked straight to Qirong behind him.
"Senior brother!" Miao'er walked up to Qirong's side, her face full of excitement.
After talking about the old prayers with friends, he subconsciously looked towards Qinghe, but he didn't see the cold figure as far as his eyes could see.
Miao'er jumped over to block Qirong's sight, "Senior brother, I'm here, what are you looking for?"
Qi Rong was a little absent-minded: "It's nothing. He looked at Miao'er, noticed Yuan Xiu's reluctance, and asked, "Haven't you always disliked the Ding family, why did you come here?"
Miao'er smiled like a cunning cat: "There is a good show, of course I am coming, senior brother, haven't you heard the rumors in the past few days, the entire Luochuan City has been spreading, saying that the divine bead that Ding Zhaoshan bought with a lot of money is a fake." ”
She grabbed a strand of hair and played with it casually, "If it's really fake, then this pearl appreciation conference won't become an anti-counterfeiting conference, Ding Zhaoshan will definitely be smoked by the angry seven orifices, such a lively scene, of course I want to come to watch." ”
She has long been unaccustomed to the Ding family, relying on the rich fish and meat of the people, and her character is corrupt, she firmly believes that this kind of person will be retributed.
Qi Rong nodded casually, then went around to find Qinghe, and finally found her in a secluded place, but she was not alone, there were two or three disciples in the costume of the Imperial Mirror Villa next to her, and it was Ding Mengchao who was talking to Qinghe.
Ding Mengchao was obviously very interested in Qinghe, and even put down his usual son-in-law style, and asked politely: "The girl has never met, I don't know if I can tell Fang's name?"
With a gentle and charming smile on his face, if the other party is a little girl who is not deeply involved in the world, she will definitely be confused, but unfortunately his opponent is Qinghe.
Qing Heyi raised her eyebrows, and her lips opened lightly: "I want to know my name," she stretched out five fingers, "Five hundred taels." ”
Ding Meng twitched the corner of his mouth: "What does this mean, girl?"
Qinghe pretended to be surprised and said: "This is already the lowest price, can't the son afford it?" After speaking, she also glanced up and down at Ding Mengchao, appropriately revealing a trace of suspicion.
Ding Mengchao looked at her eyes, for the first time in his life, he felt insulted, as a rich second generation with a lot of money, he couldn't bear it, he took out a silver ticket of five hundred taels from his waist bag and gave it to her, still with a smile on his face, and said gracefully: "Can you tell me your name now?"
Qinghe slowly put away the silver ticket, "Of course, my name is the invincible beautiful girl of the Three Realms, do you remember?"
The smile on Ding Mengchao's face was a little cracked: "...... Are you kidding me?"
Qinghe said seriously: "Of course not, this is the name that my father and mother gave me with all their might, the meaning is to make me the number one beauty in the Three Realms, do you think this name is bad?"
Ding Mengchao twitched the corner of his mouth: "...... Good. He looked at the cold and handsome woman in front of him, squinted his eyes, he had seen countless beauties in the past, but neither her appearance nor temperament was as good as the one in front of her, she did have the capital to be the first beauty in the Three Realms.
Thinking of this, the thought of getting it was even better, and immediately said: "There is fresh tea in the house, why don't you invite the girl to have a drink, and we will sit down and talk slowly." ”
Qinghe raised his eyes and looked at Ding Mengchao deeply, who was a little dazed by this look.
After a moment, Qinghe stretched out a finger and said, "One thousand taels." ”
Ding Mengchao was still immersed in Qinghe's beauty, and suddenly heard the words of one thousand taels and reacted instantly, and his voice was a little raised: "But I just gave you five hundred taels." ”
Qinghe: "That's just a name's money, and I have to pay for tea." ”
Hearing this, Ding Mengchao clenched his fists violently, trying his best to maintain the image of a gentleman, but his brain was spinning rapidly.
I have spent most of the family money to buy Shenzhu before, and my father has strictly controlled his expenses in the past few days, and he doesn't have much money at hand, if he lets his father know that he spent so many silver taels for a woman, I don't know if he will kill him.
He looked at Qinghe, and suddenly regretted accosting her, thinking that she was a simple little girl who was easy to fool, who knew that she was a vampire who killed people without seeing blood.
But now that the words have been spoken, it is difficult to ride a tiger, the silver problem is small, the face problem is big, if you let others know that the eldest son of the dignified Ding family, you can't even take out a thousand taels of silver, how can you mix in the rivers and lakes in the future.
gritted his teeth, and took out a silver ticket of 1,000 taels and gave it to Qinghe.
Qinghe took it, carefully put it into his sleeve, patted it lightly twice, and said to Ding Mengchao: "Let's go, let's go have tea." ”
is different from her light-heartedness, Ding Mengchao almost has the heart to cry, but fortunately, there is a reward for her efforts, and she finally got someone in hand.
Before he took two steps, Qi Rong walked towards him, and he saw everything in his eyes, and he couldn't help but wonder if Qinghe owed a huge amount of foreign debt, otherwise how could he be so short of money.
As soon as he stretched out his hand to block Ding Mengchao's way, he shook his fan and smiled: "Ding Gongzi hasn't seen you for a long time, the pearl appreciation conference is about to start, where is this going?"
Ding Mengchao is still a little jealous of Qi Rong, not only because of his strength, but also because of the unfathomable huge network behind him, even his father told him not to provoke easily.
"Big brother. "Even if Qi Rong has left the Imperial Mirror Villa, the disciples of the Villa will still call him Senior Brother, "Recently, a new batch of good Shifeng Longjing has been entered, we are going to the inner hall to taste it, do you want to join us?"
Originally, I thought that Yiqirong's temperament would not agree, and he said this just casually, but who knew that he would hear him in the next second: "Okay, it just so happens that I haven't tasted Shifeng Longjing for a long time, let's go together." ”
Ding Mengchao pressed his twitching fingertips with all his might, and his smile could only be regarded as reluctant, "Okay." ”
