After Zhang Ruolan dressed up in front of the mirror for an hour, she got into the sedan chair that had been prepared.
Sitting in the sedan chair, she felt a little nervous.
In the past, when she made friends with young people with potential, it was an investment, and it didn't matter whether they succeeded or not.
But today this matter is related to the life and death of the Zhang family.
Her father even bought her a set of jewelry overnight for this purpose, which shows that the family attaches great importance to this matter.
So it is impossible to say that I am not nervous.
As soon as the sedan chair got up, she couldn't help but take out the bronze mirror she carried with her.
Looking at her beautiful self in the mirror, she felt a lot more relaxed.
Then she looked at the gift box wrapped in silk next to her.
In addition to fifty taels of silver notes, there was also a black iron short knife in the gift box, which was also worth about fifty taels.
The leader of a gang just took office, and she directly gave him a gift of one hundred taels of silver. This was undoubtedly a generous gift.
The beautiful makeup and generous gifts gave her enough confidence and calmed her down completely.
After calming down, she couldn't help but start to look forward to it.
To be honest, after getting along with Luo Xiong for a while, she found that this man was very violent, and she felt alienated from him.
But her family didn't allow it, so she could only endure it and continue to get along with Luo Xiong.
However, what was unexpected was that Luo Xiong was suddenly seriously injured, and a new young talent emerged from the Tianlang Gang.
This is undoubtedly a good opportunity for her to get rid of Luo Xiong.
Moreover, the new leader of the Tianlang Gang is said to have a very good character...compared to Luo Xiong, he is obviously a more suitable husband-in-law candidate.
…
With such expectations, Zhang Ruolan rode a sedan to Saqian Street.
After arriving at Saqian Street, about half a quarter of an hour later, the sedan stopped in front of the Langya Hall.
Zhang Ruolan slowly got off the sedan, and every movement was extremely gentle.
In front of the entrance of the hall stood two Tianlang Gang members guarding the door.
She could clearly feel that the eyes of the two Sirius gang members lit up after seeing her, which gave her a little more confidence.
The bearer of the Zhang family's sedan chair now walked up to the two Sirius gang members and said hello.
"Brothers, I heard that the new head of Langya Hall has taken office. I, the Zhang family, are here to congratulate you. Please pass the news on my behalf."
"okay!"
Du Peng, the gatekeeper, chuckled and quickly entered the hall.
…
The other side.
In the entrance of Langya Hall, Chen Che was sitting across from a graceful woman in a green skirt, chatting with each other.
The woman in the green dress is named Lin Wan. She is the eldest granddaughter of the Lin family, the top family in Stone Fire City. She is nineteen years old and is not yet married.
Not only did she come with generous gifts, but she also vaguely expressed her intention to get married.
Chen Che's mood was a little complicated.
As for that?
Isn't it just Ji Shimeng who wants to enter the city?
At this hour this morning, there were already seven or eight ladies from wealthy families who came to marry him.
Now even more important is Lin Wan.
"Hall Master Chen! You have to think carefully! If you can marry my lady, my Lin family is willing to give out three drug stores as a dowry!
Drug store! I heard that you often go to my Lin family’s store to buy medicine!
With these three pharmacies, you will never be short of medicine in the future!"
A little maid beside Lin Wan said carelessly.
Lin Wan was wearing a veil. After hearing this, her cheeks exposed outside the veil turned red instantly. She quickly stopped and said, "Xiaohuan, stop talking nonsense!"
Chen Che silently watched the master and servant perform in front of him.
Even though Lin Wan is wearing a veil, she looks very thin-skinned.
But he could see clearly that every time before the maid said something bold, Lin Wan would wink at the maid with her big eyes exposed outside the veil.
"What an interesting guy."
Chen Che felt a little funny in his heart.
To be honest, he was really moved.
The Lin family has a near-monopoly on the entire medicinal material business in Stone Fire City.
If he marries Miss Lin, there may be no shortage of medicinal materials in the future.
Moreover, this Miss Lin's appearance is extremely beautiful, and she is not rigid in person either.
It seems good to marry someone back home.
but……
He knew very well that the reason why the Lin family wanted to marry him was because they were afraid of the Jishi Alliance.
Early this morning, he learned about the situation of Jishi League in detail.
According to past experience, Jishimeng will "rob the rich and give to the poor" after entering the city, but they generally will not touch the big families, because touching the big families will easily cause unrest in the city.
But after the Lin Family Medicine Garden was destroyed, the medicinal materials industry in Stone Fire City has been in turmoil.
Now let alone a price increase, purchase restrictions have even begun.
Perhaps because of this, the Lin family asked Lin Wan to come over to find them, trying to add a layer of insurance.
After figuring out the key to this, he gave up the idea of getting married.
On the one hand, he doesn't want to take advantage of others' danger.
On the other hand, it is because he may not join the Jishi Alliance.
He didn't want to trick his wife into coming back, which would cause trouble in the future.
After all, a daughter-in-law is different from an adoptive father. You can't just throw them away if you want to.
…
"It doesn't matter, I like people who are straightforward."
Chen Che waved his hand, then paused for a moment, and continued: "Miss Lin, a young lady from a big family like you may not be able to understand...
All in all, I don't like exchanging life-long events for benefits.
However, I recognize you as my friend, Miss Lin."
Can you deny it?
As soon as Lin Wan arrived, she gave herself medicinal materials worth hundreds of taels of silver. She also said that when she went to Lin's Pharmacy to buy medicinal materials, she could buy them at half price.
This friend must be recognized!
"Hall Master Chen, you are indeed different from others."
Lin Wan's eyes flickered, and she looked at Chen Che with curiosity.
This man is obviously a warrior, but he looks like a weak scholar.
You obviously have to take medicine regularly, but you can enter the copper skin realm in such a short time.
How strange.
"hehe……"
Chen Che smiled awkwardly.
The maid Xiaohuan pouted and said with some dissatisfaction: "You are really ignorant! Do you know that those who want to marry my young lady can be queued from the south of the city to the north of the city?"
"Xiaohuan, shut up!"
After Lin Wan scolded her in a low voice, she didn't want to pretend at all.
After blinking at Chen Che, she came closer and said a little strangely:
"Then let's just be ordinary friends first, but you have to promise me one thing."
"What's up?"
Chen Che asked.
"If the Jishi Alliance wants to make things difficult for the Lin family after entering the city, as my friend, you cannot just sit idly by.
Of course, if you encounter difficulties, I won't ignore them."
Lin Wan is straightforward.
Chen Che hesitated for a moment and replied: "If I can take care of it, then I will definitely take care of it."
"Then it's settled!"
As she spoke, Lin Wan extended her little finger to Chen Che.
Chen Che was slightly stunned when he saw this, then shook his head, smiled, and stretched out his little finger to make a hook with her.
Seeing this, Lin Wan's big eyes smiled like crescent moons, and then she stood up and prepared to leave.
But at this moment, Du Peng walked in quickly.
"Master, a young lady from the Zhang family has come to congratulate you!"
After hearing this, Lin Wan just stood up and suddenly sat back down.
