The west side of the market is completely different from the place where Lin Jinrong and others were wandering just now. There are no shops, but an open space covered with felt rugs. All kinds of goods are piled on the rugs. The owner of the goods is either sitting cross-legged or making a small
Taozi stood aside, while interested merchants gathered around and pointed. There were countless camels and horses tied up near the corner. Waste, fodder, and animal excrement were everywhere. It was crowded and filled with strange smells.
.
There were also men wearing green robes of the same style. They were sitting with their hands folded, chatting and laughing in a low voice, cracking melon seeds, and drinking tea. They seemed careless, but in fact their eyes were wandering around, paying close attention to all the movements in the venue. Once they found something.
If you notice anything suspicious, you will quickly surround it.
Lin Jinrong guessed that this group of people were probably the official people who controlled the market as mentioned by Tao Fengtang, so he couldn't help but take a few more glances. However, he saw several men in soap clothes standing next to this group of people, making fire and boiling water.
Pour water and serve tea. Whenever these officials have any needs, they will be satisfied immediately. If they are not careful, they will be scolded and beaten, but they will not complain.
Only a lean man in his thirties stood out. While others were busy, he stood motionless and stood with his arms folded, watching indifferently. While others had disheveled hair and gloomy expressions, his hair was combed smoothly and his expression was arrogant. He stood out the most.
What's more, he has a striking word "thief" tattooed on his face. The officials ignored him and only asked a few other people if they needed anything. Because of this, he stood out more and more.
Tao Fengxiang pointed to the men in soap clothes and told Lin Jinrong: "These are all soldiers who were sent to the army to serve as handymen. Look at their hair hanging loose to cover the tattoos on their faces. This is a great shame and humiliation."
."
Lin Jinrong naturally knew that it was a great shame and humiliation, but there were some people who were not afraid to show their tattoos to others, as if they were very proud. She couldn't help but curiously take a few more glances at the "thief" who stood out from the crowd.
The others also noticed this person, Wu Xiang chuckled and said: "Hey, this person is a bit special. Look at his appearance, how does he look like someone who was sent to serve as an assassin? He clearly looks like a mountain king."
Although his voice was small, the man seemed to hear it. He looked over coldly and saw a few young and tender girls from a rich family who had come to join in the fun. He then withdrew his gaze coldly.
Just looking at it feels like a waste of energy.
Silent contempt. Just one look made everyone feel the disdain and contempt, as well as the indifference and fearlessness he exuded. Lin Jinrong vaguely understood why those officials did not dare to care about him. It would have been her, too.
Don't dare.
Wu Xiang said sadly: "This man has such a strong evil spirit."
Tao Fengtang called them to go to the other side: "Don't provoke him. This man has a bad temper. He doesn't even care about his life. He is so fierce."
Lu Yan asked Tao Fengxiang in a low voice: "Does the eldest cousin recognize him?"
Tao Fengtang said: "I only know that his name is Wang Lichun. He has been here since I first came here with my father when I was a child. There was a new official who ordered him to do things, and kicked him if he disagreed with me.
, but he broke his leg in two blows. He was supposed to be beaten with a cane of two hundred, but my father happened to bump into him, so he paid for the man's leg treatment and interceded for him, but in the end he was only beaten with a hundred.
He stood up forcefully with the staff, and he never cried out in pain from the beginning to the end. No one dared to provoke him after that. There are many desperadoes among these assassins. If you see them, don't provoke them. If you can avoid them,
Just stay away."
Tao Fengju was a little scared at first, but when he heard that his father had an old relationship with him, he was no longer afraid. Instead, he was very excited and said: "So powerful? Why don't you see him paying attention to you, brother?"
Tao Fengtang smiled slightly: "What do you think of him? Come and say hello to me and reminisce about old times? Then Wang Lichun is no longer Wang Lichun. He never looks at me, and he just nods when he sees dad. I heard that he has killed people.
"
"Hiss..." Tao Fengxiang took a breath, bit the handkerchief, and held Lin Jinrong's arm tightly. Lin Jinrong smiled and said: "Weren't you still scaring me earlier? Why are you scared now?
?”
Tao Fengxiang said: "Murderers and thieves are so fierce, who wouldn't be afraid of them?"
Lin Jinrong shook his head gently: "This kind of person is evil in the open. As long as you don't provoke him, you will live in peace. Some people are evil in the dark. You don't know how to offend him. They are equally fatal. We don't provoke him. Are you afraid?
What did he do?"
Lu Yan heard it from the side and couldn't help but look at her again.
Tao Fengxiang laughed in a low voice: "So you also understand this truth?"
Lin Jinrong asked curiously: "What?"
Tao Fengxiang turned his head and smiled: "That's all, I'll tell you in detail later."
Not long after, Tao Fengtang found a group of merchants who spoke with foreign accents and were gossiping. He came forward to say hello and almost inquired for news. He had his own way of making excuses and making excuses. Lin Jinrong and others were amazed when they heard this.
, no wonder people say that no businessman is a traitor, look at him, a person who looks honest and steady on weekdays, he lies and talks in plain language without blushing and out of breath, and he does one thing after another.
Except for Tao Fengju and Tao Fengxiang, Lin Shenzhihun didn't care. Everyone else had their own reactions. Lin Jinrong and Lin Shiquan almost greedily absorbed everything around them, and Lin Shiquan was even more enthusiastic, listening to Tao Fengtang and
When dealing with people, his lips moved unconsciously. Lin Jinrong had no doubt that he would be able to memorize most of the whole process.
Lu Yan frowned slightly, listened attentively, and looked at Tao Fengtang with a hint of admiration in his eyes. Wu Xiang turned his head and asked Lu Yan: "I have made a decision, do you want to come with me?"
Lu Yan glanced at him and said, "You also want to buy food and spices?"
Wu Xiang laughed: "Yes! I want to make them look at me with admiration. Not only can I spend money, but I can also make money!"
Lu Yan did not speak, but looked at Lin Jinrong secretly. In half a year, Lin Jinrong had grown up a lot, and she had the delicate curves of a girl. She stood there quietly, with a tall and straight figure, like a green and straight young bamboo.
.Through the curtain, he couldn't see her face, but he could feel her concentration, seriousness, and expectation. How could she have these insights? How could she have these thoughts? She was different from what he knew.
Any girl is proud, self-respecting, sensitive, and kind (of course, this kindness is only towards others). She has stubbornness and unreasonable brutality and coldness hidden under her dignity, tranquility, and gentleness, but she also has a blowing sound that few others can match.
With his outstanding skills in dividing tea, as well as his enthusiasm and mind for doing business, he is truly a strange person.
A gust of wind suddenly blew up, blowing up Lin Jinrong's violet veil, revealing a small and delicate chin. Lin Jinrong raised his hand to gently hold the veil, and his thin white fingers were like a jade-colored armband with emerald green embroidery.
The white stems of chives and the full pink nails on the fingertips shine as softly as pearls in the sunlight.
Wu Xiang leaned over with a smile: "Fourth sister, do you mind if I shamelessly follow you to buy some goods and earn a little money to spend?"
Lin Jinrong tilted his head slightly and said in a relaxed and pleasant voice: "I don't mind. These things don't belong to me. I hope you all make money."
Lu Yan lowered his eyes and turned his face away.
When Tao Fengtang came back from talking to someone, Wu Xiang went up to him and said, "Cousin, I want to learn my skills from my uncle and you this time, so that I don't have to go home and they will always laugh at me for being a nerd."
The news I just inquired proved that what Lin Jinrong said was basically true. Tao Fengtang was in a very good mood and said with a smile: "You want to learn kung fu in just a few days? How can it be so easy? I have been practicing with my father since I was a child, and now I am just a master.
Just step into the threshold with one foot. Everyone has his own destiny. How many people envy you before it's too late, so why do you have to do this? I really want to have fun. I will take you to have fun after my father sends a message. "
Everyone walked around and bought a lot of bits and pieces that they were interested in. Seeing that it was getting late, Mother Gong and Mother Song reminded them that it was time to go back. Although no one had seen enough, Tao Fengtang decided to listen to the advice of the two mothers.
,go home.
Tao Fengtang continued to invite Lu Yan to go back with him. This time, Lu Yan didn't look at Lin Jinrong's face and answered very directly: "It's time to visit some elders."
Lychee was originally worried that Lin Jinrong would do something inappropriate, but when she saw Lin Jinrong just lowered his head and looked at an ivory incense stick bought by Lin Shenzhi, without any unnecessary expressions or sounds, Lychee breathed a sigh of relief.
.
Tao Fengxiang opened the car curtain a small slit, looked at Lu Mian's back and said, "Arong, I want to give you a piece of advice as a sister. Do you like to hear it or not?"
Lin Jinrong smiled slightly: "Since I call you sister, naturally I will listen to what my sister says. Let's just say it."
Tao Fengxiang put down the car curtain, looked directly into Lin Jinrong's eyes, and said sternly: "My mother told me that no matter how much you hate or dislike a person, just keep it in your heart and stay away from him. There is no need to shout to everyone.
Everyone knows that it brings trouble to one's own family. You told me earlier that some people are evil in the dark and don't know how they are offended. Then you have to be careful. Your behavior is offending people, not only offending them.
Being with a group of people behind him will make people think that you are unreasonable and it is really unnecessary. I treat you as a biological sister and that’s why I’m telling you this. Don’t think I’m nosy."
Lin Jinrong sighed and whispered: "I understand. I will never do it again." From now on, Lu Mian will get engaged to Lin Liu and become a family. His and her lives are completely different, and there will never be any intersection again. It is unnecessary
If she continues to waste time with him, she just needs to stay away from him.
Tao Shunqin and Mr. Lin San were sitting around reminiscing with Mrs. Tao, Mr. Wu and others, and discussing the details of Tao Fengtang and Lin Jinyin's marriage. Suddenly they heard a visitor coming, it was Lu Mian. Mrs. Tao and Mr. Lin couldn't help but eat.
Startled: "Why did this child come here?"
