Chapter 371: Near Gentleman and Far Villain
Sima Rulan looked at the stunned appearance of the eldest young master, although she felt funny in her heart, her face sank, and said: "Although I have never left Okura City, every time my father returns to the city, he will tell Lan'er all kinds of things he has seen and heard on the Middle-earth Continent. The last time he came back, he told me about your 'Evil Dog Gate', and also talked about the Peking Opera of 'Iron Sword Yaoqin Fighting Zhuge ', if I have the opportunity to go to the theater in Middle-earth, I would like to see it. ”
Although Sima Rulan has always lived on Okura Island, Sima often goes to the Middle-earth Continent to do trade. This Okura City Lord has no heirs, only Sima Rulan is a daughter, he not only passed on all the martial arts he has learned to this eldest lady, but also told Sima Rulan a lot of information on the rivers and lakes, hoping that his daughter can increase her knowledge and inherit the position of Okura City Lord in the future.
Where did Hua Bushi know the inside story, at this time, the lie was exposed by the girl in front of him on the spot, and he only felt embarrassed, and said in his mouth: "It turns out that you also know the Peking opera, but that play is really not good-looking, Miss Lan'er doesn't watch it." ”
Sima Rulan snorted and said, "You have deceived me even about your origins, and the things you said must be completely untrue! Moreover, I have also heard that you 'bark at the heavenly tower' are training dogs for people, and the price is 20,000 taels of silver, which is really frighteningly high, and it also shows that your greedy name as a 'bad dog boy' is full of rumors! What else do you have to say now?"
Previously, in the small building, Hua Bushi saw Miss Lan'er, who was holding an overly fat big white dog in his arms for the first time, and came to ask him for treatment, but he just regarded her as a little girl who didn't understand the world and only knew about pets, but he didn't expect that she was actually looking away.
This girl who looks innocent and beautiful on the outside is actually extremely smart and clever, and she is by no means a character who will be easily deceived. She saw through Hua Bushi's identity early on, and she also heard the flaws in the story made up by Hua Bushi, but she also pretended to have a sympathetic expression, and even her acting skills were not under Hua Bushi!
A person may not have enough knowledge and arrogance in dog ownership, but he may not be knowledgeable in other aspects.
"Wanjintang" is also a Jianghu sect, in charge of the entire Okura City, this girl is the eldest lady in the sect, and the kind of ordinary rich and noble people who don't go out of the door, and the second door is not the same as the deep house lady. What Young Master Hua made was a mistake of taking things for granted.
It seems that he really met an opponent today, and it was self-defeating, this drama can be regarded as a withdrawal from the bottom of the ground!
Now that the lie has been exposed, there is no need to put it on again. Hua Bushi is also a character who has gone through ups and downs, and his face has already been cultivated extremely thick, and the embarrassment and shame on his face disappeared in a moment, and he said loudly:
"You're right, I'm greedy for money! But there are many people who are greedy for money in the world, let's just say that there is no one in this big warehouse city who is not greedy for money? 'Bark Tianlou' is doing a legitimate livelihood, relying on our own ability to make money, even if the price is more expensive, but it is also a fair trade, never forced to buy and sell, what's wrong! Then the He Xilou of the 'Bright Moon Society' is just relying on your 'Wanjintang' shili, and he wants to forcibly occupy our dog training workshop, what is the justice? Your father, Sima City Lord, established this Okura City to let these bullies and strongmen oppress the good!"
Hua Bushi glared at Sima Rulan, this tirade, a series of questioning words were said confidently, and the eloquence was overwhelming.
Sima Rulan squinted at the eldest young master, and waited until he finished speaking before he said: "The affairs of Wanjintang, when Daddy is not in the city, are all taken care of by Uncle Xiong and Elder Deng, they have always handled things fairly, I should not interfere." And you tried to deceive me first, and your reputation is so bad, you are not a good person in the first place, how do I know if what you said about the blackmail of the 'Bright Moon Society' is true or false, so I can't care about it. ”
The "evil dog boy" is indeed notorious in the rivers and lakes, and is classified as the scum of the rivers and lakes by chivalry, although there are rumors and slanders by others, and even the reasons why the rumors are untrue, but this kind of thing is unclear for a while. Rao Shihua has a lot of eyes, and he can't think of any way to persuade this Miss Lan'er to believe what he said at this moment.
Sima Rulan said: "You don't have anything to say now, do you? If there is nothing else, I will leave." ”
Seeing that the eldest lady was leaving, Hua Bushi hurriedly said, "Miss Lan'er, slow down, there is something to say next!"
Sima Rulan stopped and said, "Say!"
Hua Bushi said: "Aren't you worried that the princess will starve to death if she doesn't eat?" Why don't we make a deal, Miss Lan'er promised to help deal with the 'Bright Moon Society', and Hua Bushi will be responsible for curing the princess's refusal to eat, how about it?"
Sima Rulan glanced at the big white dog sleeping in her arms again, with a hesitant look on her face, but soon the hesitation turned into annoyance, and said: "Are you trying to threaten me with the princess's illness?
Hua Bushi hurriedly said: "Miss Lan'er, don't misunderstand, Hua Bushi has no threat intentions, I'm just ......"
Sima Rulan no longer wanted to listen to the explanation of the eldest young master, in her heart, she had already decided that this "evil dog boy" was a great evil person who could not be more bad, snorted coldly, and said: "No matter what you say, I will definitely not help you! I'm leaving, you are not allowed to come with me again!"
After she finished speaking, she turned angrily and headed for the other end of the alley.
Hua Bushi once again stood on the ground with a stunned face. He didn't keep up anymore, just because Sima Rulan performed light skills, he couldn't catch up at all, even if he still imagined that he would hug the girl's waist before, but it was not enough.
The eldest young master had realized that he had made another mistake himself. Although this city lord is kind-hearted, her personality is quite paranoid, and she has a clear distinction between good and evil, and she does not eat soft and hard, and there is no room for compromise and negotiation for a "big evil person" like him. He wanted to use the conditions for treating the princess to win him over, but he really miscalculated.
Hua Bushi has always pretended to be good at reading people, but today he may have been deceived by Miss Lan'er's pure and lovely appearance, and he made two big mistakes one after another, and now he still wants her to help, so naturally there is no hope at all.
After a while, Hua Bushi let out a long sigh, dragged his steps helplessly, and walked back in the direction of "Barking Heavenly Tower".
※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※ terms of the size of the city, Okura Castle cannot be compared with Beijing and Nanjing, which are directly under the capital of the Ming Dynasty, and it is slightly inferior to ancient cities with a long history such as Suzhou and Hangzhou. However, in terms of the prosperity of the market, Okura Castle is by no means below any metropolitan city in Middle-earth.
And the wealth of the residents in the city is only afraid that the imperial city of the Ming Dynasty is in Beijing City, which is quite inferior to Okura City.
In particular, the streets near the castle lord's mansion are not only the center of Okura Castle, but also the most lively place in the city.
There are many shops on both sides of the road, such as jewelry stores, silk and satin shops, rouge gouache shops, grocery stores, and even restaurants, all of which are hung all over the street. The road is full of traffic and people, even in today's hazy weather, it is quite lively.
On the isolated island of the South China Sea, building an ideal city where all residents can live and work in peace and contentment, a paradise, is the lifelong wish of the city lord Sima Chafeng. It took him fifteen years, exhausting all his energy, and expending countless fortunes to develop Okura Castle to its present size.
Whenever she saw the serene and satisfied expressions on the faces of the people in the city, as well as the respectful attitude towards the city lord, Sima Rulan would also feel very satisfied, and she was also proud of her own father.
At this time, Sima Rulan was walking on the street not far from the city lord's mansion. This street is called "Orchid Street", which is one of the most prosperous and beautiful streets in the city, and this street name was chosen by Sima City Lord, using the name of his daughter.
The princess was held in her arms, with her head bowed and dozing. The anorexia of this big white dog has not improved, so today Miss Lan'er still plans to go out with it and find someone to diagnose and treat it.
It was already yesterday to go to the "Bark Sky Tower" to seek medical treatment, and then to have a tugging and entanglement with Hua Bushi. After a day, Sima Rulan didn't take that incident to heart.
"To behave in the world, there must be a clear distinction between good and evil, to be close to the gentleman and far from the villain. ”
This is what Daddy Sima Zhufeng taught Miss Lan'er. Hua Bushi is a little peculiar, but Sima Ruolan has already decided in her heart that he is not only a villain, but also a big bad person, this kind of guy must be alienated, and he can't pay attention to him when he sees him in the future.
"Bark Tianlou" can't go, and if you want to treat the princess, you have to find another capable doctor. These days, Sima Ruolan has almost visited all the major medical centers and pharmacies in the city, and there are really not many doctors who have not treated the princess, and there are probably only one or two medical centers in the west of the city that have not been there.
Just when Sima Rulan made up her mind to go to the west of the city, the princess in her arms suddenly struggled. This big white dog is too lazy to die on weekdays, lying in Sima Ruolan's arms all day long and refusing to move, and there is only one reason for struggling at this time, that is, it wants to pee.
As a top fighting dog, the princess still loves to be clean, and urinating in the arms of the master lady is something that she will never do, so she will go to the side of the road to sprinkle once she is urgent.
Sima Rulan let go of her hand and put the princess on the ground. The big white dog ran lazily to a big tree by the side of the street, and with its hind feet cocked on its trunk, it began to pay tribute very leisurely.
But at this moment, only a whistle was heard from a distance, and the princess, who had a lazy appearance, suddenly made a wit, quickly retracted the hind legs that were on the tree, and stretched out her nose to sniff in the air. And the white hair on its back also stood up instantly.
