Chapter 499: Murder in the Dead of Night (9)
Xiao Wuxian didn't pay attention to the inlaid silver again, but looked at Zhao Daliang with great interest: "Dare to ask Brother Zhao, are you Gui Geng this year?"
"I am three years old Chinese New Year's Eve this year, the only son in the family, and all the money after the death of my father and mother is mine alone!" As he spoke, Zhao Daliang already showed an extremely proud look on his face: "But I don't care about what my family left me at all, because my current property is basically earned by myself in business." ”
"Did you really ever try to please Lady Taoyao?"
After listening to Xiao Wuxian's question, Zhao Daliang scratched the back of his head with some embarrassment, and then smiled very embarrassedly: "In order to coax that little girl to drink a glass of wine with me...... I even took out the mutton fat jade bracelet I bought for my precious daughter, but she didn't even lift her eyelids, and gave me two slaps......"
"The mutton fat jade bracelet is very valuable, it must be!" Xiao Wuxian deliberately pretended to be surprised.
Zhao Daliang smiled extremely proudly: "Is it so simple to be valuable, do you know what it means to be priceless?"
As soon as they heard this, many guests began to have their eyes lit up: "Such a rare object, can you use it to open the eyes of us ordinary people!"
In the eyes of everyone full of envy, Zhao Daliang carefully took out a silk handkerchief wrapped in something from his arms: "Although this mutton fat jade bracelet is valuable, it is not a rare thing, and the magic is that this jade bracelet is carved and hollowed." If ordinary craftsmen do not have super high and exquisite craftsmanship, they will never dare to carve on such a valuable jade bracelet. ”
When Zhao Daliang slowly spread out the silk handkerchief in his hand, the eyes of the whole room were all attracted, and praise gushed out, including disdain out of jealousy.
Only Gu Huaiyan was still calmly discussing today's lunch.
At most, it was only a time to count from one to ten, and Zhao Daliang put it back into his arms: "I bought this thing from the Western Xia royal family at a high price...... The hollowing process, it is difficult for ordinary craftsmen to carve such exquisite things!
Because I was going to give it to my precious daughter, I kept it close to me. If it weren't for the beauty of that peach girl, I wouldn't be willing to take out this baby!"
After shaking his head, Xiao Wuxian said softly: "Brother Zhao, don't give away such a precious thing at will, taking it home to your daughter is the best choice." It's really not worth it for a dewy marriage. ”
"It's a good thing she didn't take it, otherwise I would have regretted it. Zhao Daliang nodded approvingly.
Xiao Wuxian turned his gaze to the direction where the inlaid silver was: "I want to ask one question, have you and Taoyao Niangzi known each other for a long time?"
Afraid that Xiao Wuxian would set him up again, he deliberately thought about it before shaking his head: "The two of us fell in love at first sight at this inn! I promised her that as long as the Jinwo line is over, I will take her back to her hometown to live." ”
"Hey, hey, ......" Hearing this, Zhao Daliang, who was very unhappy on his face, couldn't help but sour: "In this way, you are very in line with her vision for choosing a partner!"
"What do you have to do with it!" replied in the same tone.
After a while, Xiao Wuxian returned to the side of the inlaid silver again, and asked with a smile: "Since the Taoyao lady is greedy for money to fight with your brother, why would she refuse Zhao Daliang's jade bracelet!"
"This, this ......"
Looking at the inlaid silver, Xiao Wuxian continued: "As far as I know, Lady Taoyao likes to seduce handsome men the most...... That's why he harassed Gu Shaoxia endlessly. I also heard...... Taoyao Niangzi was once the most favored concubine of Ji Haitang, the young master of the Golden Nest, and Ji Haitang was also a graceful and beautiful man. ”
With Zhao Daliang's laughter, the beads of sweat on Yin's face became more and more uncontrollable, but Xiao Wuxian recited the scriptures in his ear unrelentingly.
"I'm really curious...... You said that you are forty-three years old this year, and Zhao Daliang is not only ten years younger than you, but also much older than you Zhou Zheng...... Even if she's lewd by nature, how could she fall in love with you brothers?"
"You don't judge people by their appearance here!"
"Don't change the topic here!" Xiao Wuxian roared loudly: "You two brothers look like rough men with five big and three thick at a glance, even if the Taoyao lady is blind, she won't take a fancy to you!
You didn't know each other before, so you can't have any emotional foundation, how could she fall in love with you at first sight in just a few days? If the Taoyao lady is not a person who judges people by her appearance, why would she poison and kill the businessman who molested her?"
Xiao Wuxian's words were sonorous, and he had no power to fight back, so he had to pretend to be inaudible and lie on the ground: "I'm uncomfortable, don't say anything...... I can't hear clearly. ”
At this time, Geng Yang, who had been concentrating on watching the excitement, suddenly interjected: "Although that Taoyao lady is not a good person, you ruthlessly dragged others into the water in order to protect your lover...... Isn't it too immoral?"
I only heard Xiao Wuxian sneer: "If he still has a moral heart...... I wouldn't do something like a pig or dog that mutilated my siblings for the sake of a mere woman!"
No matter how the silver inlay was repaid, Xiao Wuxian didn't have a big head at all, but instead pointed his finger in the direction where Dai Chun was in a chic and free manner, and said leisurely: "Ruobai, Shaomu...... Invite Aunt Dai Chun over to have a chat! I think she's too lonely to eat there alone......
Meng Shaomu, who had been staring at Dai Chun as instructed, chuckled: "How can you be lonely, judging from the subtle expressions on her face that change back and forth...... She really ate this meal, and she felt uneasy!"
Sure enough, Meng Shaomu and Gou Shaobai took a step, and Dai Chun pulled out a short knife and stabbed it: "What are you going to do? In broad daylight, you still want to wronged a good person! There are so many women here, how can you conclude that the rouge is left by me!"
Things had already developed in the direction that Gu Huaiyan and Cheng Yinni had inferred, and Ke Liuyun also rushed over: "When did Wuxian say that the rouge was left by you? ”
"Hmm~" After nodding his head in agreement, Xiao Wuxian said again: "Could it be ...... This is the legend that there are no three hundred taels of silver here?"
