Chapter 100 You are the Demon Lord, you need to stand up! (12)
Mushu Town,
Looking at the yelling vendors on both sides of the road, Jiang Yuanyuan wiped away his awkward expression and ran to a candied haws vendor and bought three bunches of candied haws.
"Brother He, Brother Qiao, one person at a time." The girl's innocent movements immediately attracted some people's attention.
But Qiao Xi knew that these people were not attracted by Jiang Yuanyuan's appearance at all. To be more precise, she very much met the standards of this town in terms of age, appearance, etc.
"This girl is very beautiful. I wonder if I can be married to someone else?"
Not long after, a fat woman in a peach blossom dress came up to chat with her waist. Judging from her dress, she must be the matchmaker here.
Jiang Yuanyuan subconsciously wanted to face behind them, but when he thought of his heroic words just now, he straightened his back immediately. After all, you can't always hide behind others when walking in the world.
"Auntie, we are here to look for the bride's treasure box, do you know?"
Seeing Jiang Yuanyuan skillfully put the silver into the matchmaker's hands, Qiao Xi couldn't help but let out a 'tsk' sound.
As expected of a merchant's daughter, she does this kind of thing naturally and smoothly.
The matchmaker took the money, the wrinkles on her face became deeper, she pointed to the front and said,
"Walking past here, there will be a Xintai Inn. They know where the things you are looking for are, and the people living there are all looking for the things you mentioned."
After the group thanked them, they set off for Xintai Inn.
…
"Dear guests, today is a big day for me in Mushu Town. My surname is Wang, and I am the talker of this inn. Welcome all Taoist friends from all over the world."
The three of them looked at the impassioned man on the stage and found a random place to sit down.
"The opening ceremony of the bride's treasure is hosted by our Xintai Inn every year, and it will be the same this year."
"Now, I would like to invite all Taoist friends who have ideas to add new makeup to the bride."
"What is adding new makeup?" He Yan asked in a low voice.
"To put it bluntly, Tian Xinzhuang is asking for travel expenses. Only with this money can I have the opportunity to see things."
A young man waving a fan next to them glanced at them and thought they were joining in the fun, so he answered casually.
"Then how much is appropriate?"
"This is not necessarily true, but the more the better."
I looked at the few people in front of me who were dressed in hotel attire, each holding a plate and stopping in front of these guests.
Someone took out a pile of gold, someone put in a few copper plates, but the man who answered them just now put in the fan in his hand.
Qiao Beichen and the others also put three gold leaves inside.
According to observations, anyone who didn’t put on new makeup was asked to leave by the store waiter.
Then the waiter put up a sign saying it was closed today and closed all the doors and windows of the inn.
"Boss, don't be pretentious. We're not the first here. Just bring the treasure out." A fat man with a rough face said loudly.
At the same time, it also aroused the agreement of most people.
"This good man, since he has already participated, must be very satisfied with our inn, otherwise he would not come again, right?"
Boss Wang bowed his hand with a smooth expression.
"But today there are many fellow Taoists who have come to our Xintai Inn for the first time, so we shouldn't neglect them, right?"
"Then take me with you first, and everyone else, you can play slowly?" The big man didn't appreciate it, and the big knife in his hand was illuminated by the candlelight, giving off bursts of cold light.
"It seems that this dear friend is a little impatient. In this case, I wonder which fellow Taoists would like to enter the inner chamber in advance?"
"Host, please don't go in early, this boss is a smiling guy."
Although there is no such plot in the original text, based on her years of experience reading storybooks,
How can a boss who can continuously open such a large inn and have such a treasure sit in his care be someone that others can criticize at will?
I guess the few who went out with me couldn't be bothered either.
After Qiao Beichen finished listening, he held He Yan down with his left hand and held the man who had just explained their doubts with his right hand.
He Yan was okay, he didn't have any other ideas, and he wouldn't go unless he was allowed to go, but the man with the fan tugged at his clothes in confusion.
Qiao Beichen looked up at him and explained in a low voice, "I can sense some things. It may not be a good thing to do it in advance."
The man looked at him suspiciously. He had seen a lot of strange people and strange things, but this was the first time he heard about it.
Seeing that the door to the inner room had been closed, he didn't care anymore and sat back on the chair.
[Blackening value-10]
When he heard the notification tone, Qiao Xi was overjoyed. It seemed that the Demon Lord's righteous path was getting wider and wider.
"Okay, next, I will introduce the origin of the treasure to fellow Taoists."
"..."
The long and vulgar words made Qiao Xi sleepy.
Probably it was when the eldest daughter of the Liu family, who was famous all over Jiangcheng, fell in love at first sight with a poor boy while visiting a garden party, and they made a private commitment for life.
Unexpectedly, the man went to Beijing to take the exam but never returned. As he got older, the Liu family decided that they could not go on like this, so they arranged a show to recruit a bride.
The bride is beautiful and the father-in-law is rich. As soon as the announcement came out, many young talents came from all over the place to win the beauty.
Unexpectedly, I saw my former lover getting married that day upstairs, and he married the daughter of the prime minister of the dynasty.
The woman was so distraught that she dressed in red and jumped into the river while her family was not paying attention. She was later rescued with a sandalwood box in her hand.
Outsiders spread rumors that it was He Bo who rescued him, and that this treasure box was a gift from He Bo.
From that day on, the girl from the Liu family seemed to have forgotten her past, and followed her family's wishes to marry into the Yuan family, the richest family in Jiangcheng.
He also said that the treasure in this box can fulfill a wish of the destined person, as long as it is within the three realms.
Originally, some wealthy families wanted to use this treasure box to keep their families prosperous forever, but I don’t know what happened.
After many years, no one opened it. Later, various strange legends about how to improve the skills were spread.
No matter how others slander this treasure box, it still cannot stop people from all walks of life from being curious about it.
In fact, the boss hasn't told you everything yet. If you want to get close to this treasure, you have to wear a red wedding dress and jump into the river to see the treasure.
He didn't talk about this at first, probably because he was afraid that if the people accompanying him without a female family member left, he wouldn't be able to harvest any money.
"Now, everyone sitting here please press the sachets for the bride."
"Xiang" is the homophone of "box", and its meaning is to make people pay money.
After three rounds of this, there were less than ten people left at the scene.
Boss Wang glanced at the audience and nodded slightly.
"Fellow Taoists, please excuse me and move to the inner room."
…
…
The inner room is quieter and simpler than the outside, and the walls are also decorated with calligraphy by various masters.
The group of people followed the boss and walked slowly.
"Hey, brother, why don't you leave?" He Yan tugged on the fan man's robe and asked in a low voice.
After hearing He Yan's words, Qiao Beichen and the others realized that the eyes of those who had just come in were attracted by the calligraphy treasures in the inner room.
When I turned to look at my boss, I found that his eyes were also full of surprise.
But not for those whose eyes are attracted by calligraphy.
