But no matter what, Xu Zizhen was able to enter this dragon-protecting camp that I don’t know what it was used for at least because it was recommended by Miss Wanyan. This favor is always owed, so Xu Zizhen readily agreed. Drinking is a good thing.
, and Wanyan Zongde also agreed. What are you afraid of?
A carriage was parked at the entrance of the village, and there was also a horse. Wan Yanqing was very well prepared. He couldn't let Xu Zizhen walk back with him. It would be even more inappropriate to let him sit in a car with her.
The carriages and horses were heading towards the city. There was nothing to do on the road. Wan Yanqing opened the car curtain and talked to Xu Zizhen as they walked. Children from the north are not like girls from the south of the Yangtze River. They are not so particular. Wan Yanqing has a cheerful temperament.
She giggled out loud from time to time, and Xu Zizhen gradually fell in love with her character, but it was just her character, because Wan Yanqing was really not good-looking, with big eyes and small eyes, slightly rough skin, high cheekbones, and a nose
It's quite straight and pretty, as if it was cut with a knife.
After chatting for a while, Xu Zizhen finally found out that today was the birthday of Wan Yanqing’s younger brother, the second ancestor Wan Yan Tie who had been taught a lesson by Xu Zizhen. In addition, Xu Zizhen also figured out what Mother’s Day meant, and it was just a matter of making trouble for a long time.
Birthday.
The road from the ghost village to the city is not too long. It didn't take long for Xu Zizhen and Liu Quan to run on their legs last night, let alone riding horses and cars. They had already arrived in the city in less than an hour.
Huining Mansion during the day looks no different from Huining Mansion at night. The streets are still bustling with people and people. It seems peaceful and prosperous, but Xu Zizhen already has a knot in his heart. Under such prosperity, there are many hidden traps.
As a master, as long as someone makes the slightest move, he will be arrested immediately or even die on the street. After last night's incident, Xu Zizhen has understood that the capital of the Kingdom of Jin is not so easy to cause trouble.
Wan Yanqing's home is in the west of Huining Prefecture. According to her, most of the most prestigious and wealthy people in the city live here. Xu Zizhen also saw along the way that the houses in the nearby streets and alleys all have deep residences and compounds.
The gates have high walls, and luxurious carriages pass by from time to time.
Many of the houses here are extremely luxuriously decorated, with cymbal-plated doors and nanmu doors. In short, looking at the large number of nouveau riche, Xu Zizhen thought maliciously, this is a rich area, what if he is short of money?
You can make a fortune just by jumping around the yard here.
Not long after, they arrived at Wanyanqing's home, which was Hongji's home base. To Xu Zizhen's surprise, her home was very simple and plain. It was just an ordinary house. It was bigger at most. The main door was just two ordinary wooden doors painted with black paint.
, there are only three steps outside the door, and there is not even a stone lion in the arch.
Seeing his astonished expression, Wan Yanqing seemed to have guessed what he was thinking, and chuckled: "For me, making money is more important than making face. As long as I live comfortably, there is no need to look so good."
Xu Zizhen was convinced and gave him a thumbs up.
Wan Yanqing, the eldest lady, had no airs at all. After getting off the car, she personally led Xu Zizhen through the door and led him inside. Xu Zizhen felt a little embarrassed. This girl was surprisingly kind to him, and something went wrong.
Even if she is a monster, could it be said that she fell in love with my honest and simple face? This shouldn't be the case. I drank too much last night and scared myself when I looked in the mirror. Wan Yanqing's taste is not that strong, right?
Arriving at the main hall, Wan Yanqing asked Xu Zizhen to sit down and asked his servant, "Where is the young master? Call him."
The servant murmured: "The young master went out early in the morning, and I don't know where he went."
Wan Yanqing was a little angry: "We had a good talk with him yesterday. Today we are going to invite a benefactor to come over. Why is this kid so indifferent? I think his skin is itchy again!"
Xu Zizhen was so chatty that he couldn't talk to him. Although he didn't have a good impression of Wanyan Tie, he couldn't support his brother when someone scolded him.
Suddenly a voice came from outside the door: "It's unfair. I chose a thank-you gift for my benefactor. Sister, you are so cruel and careful that no one will dare to marry you. In the future, you will be a live-in aunt."
As the voice fell, a playful and smiling young master in brocade robes strode in. It was Wanyan Tie who had been repaired by Xu Zizhen in Taiyuan.
Wanyan Qing raised her eyebrows and said solemnly: "Who do you think is the old aunt?"
Wanyan was obviously afraid of his sister, and he hurriedly apologized and said with a smile: "No, no, how can I be an aunt if my sister is so beautiful... Oh, this is the Sanshun brother that my sister has been talking about for several days, right? I have admired her for a long time, my little brother Wanyan
Tears."
In order to prevent Wanyanqing from settling a score with him, Wanyanti cleverly changed the subject and bowed deeply to Xu Zizhen with a smile on his face.
Wan Yanqing suddenly blushed and spat at him. She kept mumbling about something for several days, making it sound like she was talking about something.
Xu Zizhen also heard that something was wrong, and felt even more embarrassed. He quickly stood up and returned the courtesy: "I have seen Mr. Tie before."
Wanyanti supported him and pretended to be unhappy: "Brother Sanshun is slapping me in the face. You are a great benefactor to my family, how can you be so polite."
Xu Zizhen was secretly surprised. In his mind, Wan Yan Tie was an arrogant and domineering second generation ancestor. He didn't expect that Wan Yan Tie's emotional intelligence was not low.
Wan Yanqing was also very satisfied with his attitude and said, "Didn't you say you wanted to choose a thank-you gift? Let me see if it's worth it first."
Wan Yanti chuckled, took out a small wooden box from his arms, and said proudly: "I am not as good as you when it comes to using your brains in business, but you are not as good as me at buying and selling rare things. If you don't believe me, please give it a try.
Let me take a look and see if he likes it."
As he spoke, he picked up the wooden box, opened the pin, and gently opened the lid. A cold light hit his face, forcing Xu Zizhen's eyes to squint involuntarily.
"Good knife!"
Xu Zizhen and Wan Yanqing exclaimed at the same time. The wooden box in Wan Yan's hand was simple, elegant and small. He originally thought it was a small object such as a seal paperweight, but unexpectedly it turned out to be a short knife with a cold light and an ancient style. Xu Zizhen's pseudonym
Jin Sanshun is very skilled, and now he has joined the newly established Dragon Guard Camp as the deputy commander. Such a gift not only suits his status but is not vulgar, it is definitely a good gift.
Wanyan Tie stopped smiling and said seriously: "A precious sword is given to a hero. Please don't dislike it, Brother Sanshun."
Xu Zizhen didn't know anything about antiques, but he could see that the value of this knife was by no means trivial. He took a breath of cold air and felt that it was too hot to let him accept such an item for nothing. He pondered for a while and said:
"I am a rough man. Miss Qing and Mr. Qing, please let me know if you want me to do anything."
Wan Yanti smiled and put the knife and the box into Xu Zizhen's hand and said, "Brother Sanshun is serious, I just want to make friends with you."
Xu Zizhen raised his head and looked into his eyes without saying a word. The wooden box just lay flat in his palm, neither putting it away nor putting it down.
Wanyan's heart went crazy when he saw him, and her face became a little embarrassed. She looked at her sister for help. Wanyanqing coughed dryly and took over the conversation: "Actually, it's not that difficult. It's just that my family wants to open the business to Bianjing, and we want to invite three people.
Please help me in the future."
Xu Zizhen simply wondered if he had heard wrongly. He widened his eyes and said, "You...what did you say?"
