Chapter Twenty-Five: The Watermelon Helps the Talker
Everyone was naturally surprised when they heard that Jia Yun planned to meet the leader of the Watermelon Gang.
He thought to himself: "This new second master is really a tiger! He killed the little leader of the Watermelon Gang and then went to meet with the leader of the Watermelon Gang. Isn't he afraid of being killed by the Watermelon Gang?"
However, Zhang Xiaolong naturally would not think like these beggars who have never seen the world. Instead, he pondered in his mind, "This new second master is from the Jia Mansion in Shenjing. It is impossible to say that he is the direct bloodline of Duke Rong Guo of Rongguo Mansion. He is indescribably noble, but he is a truly noble person."
"If I can help thread the needle, maybe I can have a good future."
Any scholar who has read a book is always unwilling to succumb to others and hang out with these beggars without a bright future. Zhang Xiaolong is also a scholar, so he naturally wants to climb up and become a master.
Immediately, Zhang Xiaolong asked naturally: "Second Master, you haven't said the specific time yet!"
"Just today!"
Jia Yun had no intention of delaying time. How precious his time was, and he would definitely not waste it on these little people. Strike while the iron is hot, and he will take care of this matter today.
Zhang Xiaolong didn't say much when he heard this. After taking a deep look at Jia Yun, he respectfully withdrew.
The boy who tipped off the information was very fast in running errands. He found the gambling house of the Xigua Gang and informed the boys inside. Then, through the mouth of the boy in the gambling shop, he informed the leader of the Xigua Gang, Chen Donglin.
Chen Donglin was fiddling with two iron beads in his hands at the moment, staring fiercely at the gamblers who were reveling below. He was guarding the place, and there were also maids waiting on him. He was very majestic and domineering.
"Gang leader, someone wants to see you below."
The younger brother who was responsible for guarding the corridor frowned when he saw Zhang Xiaolong coming, stopped him, and then sent someone over to inform Chen Donglin, "It's the beggar strategist from West Street. I heard he said there was something big, so I'd like to discuss it with the gang leader. "
"Oh? Since he is a beggar strategist, let him come up! I would like to hear what big things he wants to discuss with me."
Chen Donglin stopped to fiddle with the two iron beads with his hand, his face was indifferent, he placed the iron beads in his hand on the tea table next to him, then, after taking a sip of tea, he looked at Zhang Xiaolong who came up from below and asked: " Xiaolong! Why did you come to me?"
"Gang leader, Brother Hao was killed. The person who killed Brother Hao wants to invite you to have a drink at Tianxiang Tower today."
Zhang Xiaolong still told the matter, and then secretly glanced at the sullen Chen Donglin, and said: "This man is a nobleman from the Rongguo Mansion in Shenjing, and he cannot afford to offend him!"
"Shenjing, Rong Guofu? Are they descendants of the great hero Rong Guo Gong who shook the world?"
Chen Donglin, who was quite angry before and was about to get angry, heard this and immediately squinted his eyes and looked at Zhang Xiaolong. His face and attitude changed 180 degrees, and he said with a smile: "Xiao Hao will die if he dies. It’s just a humble life, it’s not a big deal.”
"Since the descendants of Duke Rong Guo have come to Jinling Mansion, if we landlords don't take care of them, wouldn't it make the world laugh at us, the Watermelon Gang, for our lack of etiquette?"
"Come here, prepare a thousand taels of silver and come with me to meet this noble man for a while."
The reason why Chen Donglin has been able to dominate the West Street for so many years without being unlucky, let alone being killed and replaced by others, is because he is very aware of current affairs.
Regardless of Jia Yun's plans for coming to Jinling Mansion, for him, Jia Yun's class is too high!
Lord Rongguo!
They are princes and nobles. Compared with a little guy like him, the gap should not be too big.
One is a dragon in the sky and the other is a worm on the ground. Can these be compared?
The descendants of the dragon are the sons and grandsons of the dragon.
The royal nobles are a little too far away from these little minions. Not to mention the descendants of those royal nobles, even the head catchers and yamen in the yamen are not characters they can afford to offend.
Chen Donglin, who is good at adapting to the situation, believes that Jia Yun's appearance may be an opportunity to climb up.
Zhang Xiaolong wants to climb up and gain higher social status, power and wealth.
Doesn’t Chen Donglin not want to?
It's just that Chen Donglin doesn't have the channels to meet such a noble person as Jia Yun!
Some people are not people you can meet if you have a small amount of money. Even if you meet this person, others may not give you face.
Now that Jia Yun is taking the initiative to meet Chen Donglin, she is sending a friendly signal, commonly known as giving a chance.
As a person who wandered around the world, Chen Donglin didn't understand anything, so he immediately woke up, prepared money, and planned to curry favor with Jia Yun to see if he could get more power and wealth from Jia Yun and continue to climb up the ladder.
After Chen Donglin took the money to Tianxiang Tower, he discovered that the entire Tianxiang Tower had been booked by Jia Yun. Except for Jia Yun, there was not a single guest, just to wait for Chen Donglin to come.
For a moment, Chen Donglin was also shocked by Jia Yun's wealth!
Immediately, Chen Donglin took the banknote alone, ordered someone to stand at the door, and stepped in.
When Jia Yun saw Chen Donglin's arrival, she was also sizing him up. He was thirty-four years old, wearing a green robe, eight feet tall, with a strong build, well-developed arm muscles, and a pair of palms covered with traces of martial arts practice.
He had calluses, which made his skin look rough and thick. He was obviously a practicing martial artist, and he walked like a tiger and a tiger. He was indeed a hero-like figure. He couldn't help but nodded slightly.
Chen Donglin's opinion of Jia Yun is relatively simple. She seems to be delicate and elegant, but her eyebrows and eyes always reveal a touch of heroic aura. Especially when you get up close, you can feel an unsettling aura, which makes you believe her even more.
Jia Yun's true identity was revealed, "It's extremely difficult for such a heroic and romantic nobleman to pretend to be someone like him. If he wasn't born rich, how could he be so rich and powerful?"
Immediately, Chen Donglin became more honest, took out the banknotes, and placed them on the table. No matter he was right or wrong, it was his fault. When facing such a noble person, he must always lower his posture and bow his head in order to have a good impression.
, thus having a good future, "Second Master, I have just arrived here, and may have been angered by those villains who do not understand the rules. As a gang leader, although I do not know that my younger brother has offended Second Master before, but, I first
I'm here to apologize to the Second Master. First of all, I will apologize for my fault and I will be fined three drinks. I hope that the Second Master will take care of me."
After saying that, Chen Donglin poured himself three glasses of wine and drank it all in one gulp in front of Jia Yun.
