Zuo Wuji's eyes suddenly lit up, and then he said dejectedly: "How can it be so easy... I only know now that that thing is very precious, a small black jade Ruyi can be worth ten thousand taels of gold... Poor me
When I was encouraged by you to steal it and sell it, I only sold it for one thousand taels of silver, and I lost all my capital..."
As he spoke, he gritted his teeth again and was in great pain: "You two have made me become the world's most prodigal son... I can't talk about this yet, I can only knock my teeth out and swallow my blood... But now I have it,
But what can I buy it back with?"
Ye Xiao lowered his voice and said: "Hahaha... isn't it just money... it's hard to say? I just ask you, do you want to buy Xuan Yu Ruyi back?"
"Think! You bastard, you don't want to! Then I can take off my hat as 'the most prodigal son of the Chen Emperor Kingdom'... God knows how much I want to take it off..." Zuo Wuji nodded repeatedly, gritting his teeth: "It's just that since I
After that incident, all my pocket money was deducted, and the original three hundred taels of silver per month became five taels per month...five taels of silver, that's enough!"
"If you want to take off the hat of being the most prodigal son of this empire... it's actually quite easy, but... you are about to become 'the most prodigal son of the universe in history'..."
Ye Xiao muttered in his heart, laughed, slapped his chest, and said boldly: "As long as you want to buy it back, I can lend you the money first..."
"Really?" Zuo Wuji was shocked. Not only him, but Lan Langlang was also shocked!
Does the sun come out from the north today?! When did Ye Xiao become so generous?
"Really!" Ye Xiao nodded affirmatively, his face serious and solemn.
"What's your plan?" Zuo Wuji looked at him suspiciously, thinking in his mind: Is this guy planning something against me again? Does he really have a crush on me?
"Bastard!" Ye Xiao was upright, and his good intentions were misunderstood, and he said sadly: "Zuo Wuji! What did you say? I treat you as a good brother, so I did this favor for you. I also took the risk.
It’s a big risk. Who knows when you, the prodigal son, will be able to pay me back? You still doubt me, okay, okay, I don’t care if you die!”
"Don't pull me down! Can't I just keep that money to pick up girls...Lan Langlang! Let's go!" Ye Xiao stood up angrily and left: "Let's ignore this guy who doesn't know a good heart from now on!"
Lan Langlang is the best at making noises. How could he let this go? He stood up and shouted happily: "Just leave! Ignore this bastard who doesn't treat us as friends!"
"Don't...don't, don't, don't, don't...Brother Ye, Brother Lan, stay here! Oh, my brother..." Zuo Wuji stepped forward and hugged Ye Xiao tightly.
Waist, with a flattering look on his face, he apologized again and again: "Oh, I just said the wrong thing... Oh, we are good brothers, good brothers for life, you are really angry... Oh, please stay! Housekeeper,
Serve tea! Serve good tea! Serve the best tea! Serve the best imperial tea given to my grandfather by His Majesty! Come on, hurry up..."
After giving a series of instructions, he respectfully asked Ye Xiao to sit down on the Grand Master's chair in the middle, bending over like a dog and smiling with him: "Hehe...Brother Ye, hehe, Master Ye, wow, haha,
Brother, my good brother... can you really lend me that money?"
Ye Xiao crossed his legs and swayed back and forth: "I really wanted to borrow it..."
"Then you can't change your mind..." Zuo Wuji almost knelt down.
How could I let it go when I finally had an opportunity to make amends for my sins? God knows what kind of life I have been living these past few months... This is my own home, and I can't escape.
"Huh, okay." Ye Xiao took a leisurely time to blow the tea leaves in his hand, feeling a little helpless: "I blame myself for being a quick talker... In this case, then you just write a note, and then you can pledge anything to me, and I will give it to you.
I lent you fifteen thousand taels of gold... Let me make it clear first that you will still have to pay me back this money in the future, and this is non-negotiable!"
"Of course!" Zuo Wuji's face was full of joy, but then he frowned and said with a sad look on his face: "But what should I use as collateral for you?"
"If you understand what people say, you can just find something. Can we brothers really want something valuable from you?" Ye Xiao rolled his eyes and said sincerely: "You look at the ornaments at home, give it to me whatever you want.
Isn’t it enough to just get one?”
Zuo Wuji immediately breathed a sigh of relief: "This is a solution... Let me think about it, what should I steal this time?"
His eyes were darting around, obviously he had made up his mind to become a house thief again.
"Oh..." Ye Xiao said in an intimidating tone: "Can you be more flexible? Just bring me one thing from the hall. It doesn't have to be anything valuable, anything will do..."
Under Ye Xiao's obvious hint, Zuo Wuji finally had an enlightenment: "Can this...be mortgaged?"
"It doesn't matter whether we have a mortgage or not, that's what it means. We are brothers!" Ye Xiaoyang said generously and thoughtfully.
Zuo Wuji smiled from ear to ear, finally letting go of the big stone in his heart, and beamed: "Although these are all things my grandfather put in, I like them all... But it doesn't matter if one or a half pieces are missing... Brother, you
Say, whichever one you like, I will give it to you directly! What is the mortgage for? I will still pay back the money, and I will give you this ornament!"
Zuo Wuji is truly heroic.
Ye Xiao's brows jumped and he said righteously: "What are you talking about? Who do you think I am? I'm just helping you. Do I still want something from you... You can give it to me after you're done. That's yours."
My intention is more important than courtesy, but if I accept it now, it will be a bribe!"
bribe?!
The corner of Zuo Wuji's mouth twitched violently.
You sound like a big official.
"Look at your ink marks, just this one. I like this feeling of spreading my wings and wanting to fly." Ye Xiao's finger carelessly tapped, and it was the essence of the sky crystal.
"This...is this too bad?" Zuo Wuji was immediately moved. It seems that Ye Xiao really helped me this time. There were all the treasures in the hall, and he actually chose the worst one.
, good man, why didn’t you notice it before...
"Okay, okay, as long as you know what I mean." Ye Xiao said affectionately: "Who among us is following whom... Good brothers should help each other... By the way, you can do this.
Keep it a secret, if other people know that I have lent you so much money... and they all come to me to borrow money, whether they want to borrow this or not, I will be in trouble."
"You can absolutely rest assured on this, I will keep it secret!" Zuo Wuji patted his chest and said, "Am I that kind of person..."
"Otherwise... you can take it away now." Zuo Wuji was afraid of long nights and dreams, so he tried his best to confirm this matter.
"Idiot!" Ye Xiao scolded in a low voice: "Do you think you can be wiser? Now so many people are watching me move things from your house? How can I keep it a secret?"
"Yes, yes." Zuo Wuji leaned close to Ye Xiao's ear: "Then when it gets dark, can I take you out again?"
"This plan is a great idea!" Ye Xiao praised it full of praise: "I will be waiting for you in the alley around the corner. By the way, I will also bring you the gold notes."
This was what Zuo Wuji wanted, and he immediately beamed: "Thank you so much, brother... As long as I can restore my original status in the family, I will immediately start raising money from the shop to pay off the debt for you. Don't worry, I said
We’ll do it!”
"Okay, okay, if I didn't believe you, how could I still lend you so much money?" Ye Xiao and Zuo Wuji put their arms around each other and were extremely affectionate, as if they were two good friends.
Lan Langlang's eyes almost fell out of his head when he saw this scene.
After everything was settled, Ye Xiao and Lan Langlang left the Prime Minister Zuo's Mansion gracefully, amidst Zuo Wuji's many thanks and the respectful farewell of the eldest son Zuo.
"Don't forget tonight." The two of them had already walked a long way, and they could hear Zuo Wuji's emotional shouting from behind as he watched.
…
"I said, do you really want to lend him money?" Lan Langlang looked at Ye Xiao suspiciously: "Then...you don't seem to be such a kind-hearted person, don't you intend to go back on your word and get along with that kid?
Bar……"
"What are you talking about? You are really trying to save me, a gentleman, with a villain's heart! Do you think I am the same kind of dishonest person who talks back and forth like you!?" Ye Xiao looked at him with contempt.
Looking at Lan Langlang, he said again: "Go back and prepare 10,000 taels of gold tickets for me. I can use them!"
If I want to lend it to Zuo Wuji, I don’t seem to have enough financial resources...
"You are useful, okay, wait...what, what did you say? You asked me to prepare 10,000 taels of gold tickets, and then you lent it to Zuo Xiaozi? Why? Give me a reason first!" Lan thought about it.
The waves exploded in an instant.
Are you a good person and want me to pay?
Why!?
"The reason? You can't even figure it out! If you don't prepare enough golden tickets, how can I lend it to Zuo Wuji? Isn't this an obvious thing! How verbose!"
Ye Xiao rolled his eyes, seemingly nonchalantly, and threatened slowly: "Lan Langlang, if you don't bring me the golden ticket and make me break my trust, it doesn't matter. At most, I will treat you like the last time you and Zuo Wuji were in a brothel.
If you are jealous, bare your butt, and run, tell your grandpa, your father, your mother, your aunt... If it’s not exciting enough, I’ll just put up big-character posters all over the streets for you! I guarantee that you will become a household name, and let the whole capital and the whole world know that you are Lan.
Langlang’s famous name! Let you and Zuo Xiaozi be as famous in the capital and as powerful as the world!”
"Ah? You!" Lan Langlang couldn't catch his breath and almost fainted. His cross-eyed eyes turned into normal eyeballs because of his anger, and he cried out with blood in his heart: "Isn't this too poisonous?
You are killing me..."
"Bah, you are so young, how can you live forever? Stop talking nonsense! In the end, your three melons and two dates will be indispensable, so I ask you, should you take it or not?!"
"I'll take it! Do I have a choice?" Lan Langlang almost cried: "I can't take it..."
