After the luncheon, Xu Maoxiu and others finally walked out of the door, all breathing a sigh of relief.
"Mr. Dong is so polite. Is this a gift? It's a fight." Xu Bangchui said, while straightening the clothes he had just torn and messed up.
"Master Dong really has nothing to say to us." Fan Jianglin sighed.
"Especially for the third brother." A brother said, "I held the third brother before I left and I really couldn't bear to let him go."
Everyone laughed.
Xu Maoxiu glared and scolded with a serious face.
"No nonsense," he said, "no frivolous jokes now."
Several brothers curled their lips.
"Third brother is just too ignorant."
"It's not that you're being arrogant, it's that, what, do you look down upon?"
"How can you tell me in a book if you don't like it? We don't even know how to read."
"Third brother has great ambitions and doesn't want to make a living by marrying someone else..."
"According to me, the Dong family's wife still doesn't agree with the third brother... It's not the face like jade that appeared in some book that the third brother wants..."
The frivolous joke only became more powerful.
Xu Maoxiu couldn't laugh or cry.
"Stop talking nonsense!" he shouted.
The brothers walked out to the street chatting and laughing.
"But have we talked about the most important thing?" Fan Jianglin suddenly stopped and said.
Everyone stops.
"What's the most important thing?" Xu Bangchui asked blankly.
"If we don't interact with each other in the future." One brother finally thought about it and said.
Xu Maoxiu looked slightly embarrassed.
"That, that, I really can't say." He said.
The master of the Dong family is so excited and enthusiastic, and the young couple are also accompanying each other. It is really impossible for us to say that we will not have contact with you in the future.
A group of men stood on the street and subconsciously scratched their heads.
"Brother Jiang Lin."
There was a call from behind.
Everyone looked back and saw Xiang Qi chasing after him quickly.
"Father is still worried and asked me to send you some money." He said, taking out a piece of flying money and handing it over.
Fan Jianglin hurriedly waved his hands and backed away.
"We have all said that there is no shortage of money now," he said.
Xiang Qi smiled.
"No matter how rich you are, my father will not worry about it." He said, "Besides, how much money can you make by working in a restaurant? Since you are unwilling to work in the family shop, my father is really worried about it, so just take the money.
Come on, no matter how much money you have in the capital, it’s not too much.”
I said this with a bit of guilt.
"This is what my father gave me, not the little money I gave you. Just take it. I have nothing else to do to help you, so I'm here to persuade you to accept it. Thank you for not taking what happened last time."
Say it…”
When he said this, his expression was full of self-blame.
"Brother Jiang Lin, you must resent me."
"No." Xu Maoxiu said, smiling slightly, "I would like to thank you more."
If Xiang Qifang had taken them in, they would not have met Brother Jin that night. If they had not met Brother Jin, they would not have met their sister.
Of course, the purpose of their coming to the capital is to find Mrs. Cheng, but the capital is so big that it will definitely take a lot of effort to find her.
How good it is now that I met my sister as soon as I entered the capital, and I helped her a little bit in a daze.
Just because of this little bit of work, she, who was originally their benefactor, actually returned the favor and trusted and relied on them without hesitation...
Dependence, this word is a bit weird to use on this woman, she is so powerful...but it's true, he really feels a little bit of dependence on this woman...or maybe it's his illusion.
Anyway, his life nowadays always makes him feel that it is an illusion.
Someone reached out and shook him.
"Third brother? Third brother?"
Xu Maoxiu came back to his senses and saw his brothers, including Xiang Qi, staring at him.
"Brother, why are you giggling?" Xu Bangchui asked.
Xu Maoxiu coughed awkwardly.
"Third brother, you still resent me." Xiang Qi lowered his head and laughed at himself, "If it weren't for me, you would be where you are now..."
"Brother Xiang." Xu Maoxiu interrupted him and shook his head, "I have never resented it. The life I live now is also very good. Moreover, I said it that day and I will still say it today. Even if I had to do it again, I would not agree.
.”
Xiang Qi smiled.
"I really don't need the money." Xu Maoxiu said, patting him on the shoulder, "We are really not short of money now."
Fan Jianglin and others also smiled and nodded.
"Okay, it's time for us to go." Xu Maoxiu said, "Also, we are a little busy, so we can't come here often. I hope you can tell Mr. Dong to take care of you."
Seeing these people walking away on the street, the smile on Xiang Qi's face gradually solidified.
What you say is so nice, you can’t come here often, why don’t you get out of the capital if you can’t come here often! Why do you still appear in front of him! Why does the person he hates and least wants to see the most in the world just linger in front of him?
The last time he came to see me secretly, I thought he was really worried about the past, so he didn't want to see the Dong family master. It turned out that he wanted to take a long-term and stable path.
It would be more exciting to be bumped into by someone than to come to your door yourself.
If you want to refuse, welcome!
This group of poor military men, after a trip to the northwest, didn't learn anything else, but they learned these women's tricks, and they probably spent their time hanging out among those camp prostitutes.
Xiang Qi looked down at the flying money in his hand and slowly grasped it.
"Of course you don't care about this money." He murmured, "This money is nothing."
It was dark and bright, and there were several people standing in the backyard of Shenxianju.
A handful of money was picked up and scattered in the box with a jingling sound.
"How about going to the Academy?" Xu Maoxiu asked.
"No problem." Shopkeeper Wu said, while calculating the chips.
A few brothers here snapped shut several boxes in the courtyard, covering the large amounts of money inside.
"The two sides are settling accounts. These are from Taipingju, and these are from Taiping Tofu..." Shopkeeper Wu said one by one, "As for Shenxianju, there is no one...but... I think there will be almost there by the end of the year."
Everyone laughed.
"Okay, okay, let's go." Fan Jianglin greeted.
Soon a cartload of money was taken away and returned in exchange for a stack of thin flying money coupons.
"This belongs to you, the shopkeeper, this belongs to our brothers, this belongs to my sister, and this belongs to Han Langjun..." Xu Maoxiu separated the flying scrolls one by one.
Shopkeeper Wu took it unceremoniously and showed a cheerful smile.
Xu Bangchui and others here were also a little excited and ready to take it.
"I'm rich too..." Xu Bangchui said happily, rubbing his hand on his body and stretching it out.
Fan Jianglin took back the handed money.
"I'll take it," he said. "I gave it to you to figure out how to make it randomly."
The brothers in the room were wailing and laughing and jostling around Fan Jianglin.
Shopkeeper Wu Nianxu came out with a smile and saw Li Dashao sitting on the porch in the yard spinning walnuts.
“It’s been more than half a year before I know it.” He said, “It’s so fast.”
"Yeah." Li Dashao said, "But it's finally a big gain."
"Are you talking about you or something else?" Shopkeeper Wu smiled and sat down cross-legged next to him.
Li Dashao smiled and said nothing.
"Hey, do you regret it?" Shopkeeper Wu asked.
Li Dashao was a little puzzled.
Shopkeeper Wu took out his flying money coupon and waved it at him, raising his eyebrows and winking.
"Originally it was yours, but now it belongs to that Mr. Han." He smiled.
Sitting in Canxia Courtyard, both of them couldn't help but think of what happened in Candong. In the restaurant waiting for repairs, several men who looked like bandits pushed a deed over to them.
"...I can't let you work for nothing. In addition to taking care of food and drink, let's give you another bonus."
Li Dashao smiled and looked away from Shopkeeper Wu's money.
"Wrong, that was not mine in the first place." He said, grabbing a knife beside him as he spoke, and holding a flower with his left hand, "This is mine."
Shopkeeper Wu laughed loudly and reached out to pat his shoulder.
"However, if it weren't for me, you, an old man like you, would still be eating at home and waiting to die. You should thank me for your money."
"Oh, I'm already old, and you still worry about my coffin. It's so heartbreaking!"
Laughter also sounded in the yard.
At the same time, Cheng Silang, who walked out of Desheng Building, breathed a sigh of relief, but couldn't help but look back.
"Look, you can't bear to part with it, right?" Wang Shiqilang said, with swollen eyes and a big yawn, "It's okay, don't worry, I'll bring you back when the money comes from home."
Cheng Silang glared at him angrily.
"You'd better see my sister as soon as possible and go home!" he said.
The two of them had only taken a few steps when a female voice called out from behind.
"Chun Ling."
Looking at the little girl running closer, Cheng Silang said with a smile.
"Where do the gentlemen live?" Chun Ling asked.
Cheng Silang told her about the inn.
"Chun Ling, you really don't need us to help you redeem your life?" Cheng Silang asked, "Although there is no one at home, you can follow me to my house. It's better... it's better than here..."
This place is not a good place anyway, and he has just spent seven or eight days in it. Although he has no choice but to be dragged down by Wang Qishilang, he still sings poems and plays the piano with Miss Zhu, and also looks at her blushing
My heart beats….
I am hanging out in this bad place, but I have to put on a high profile and say that this place is not good, it is really...
He muttered and finally fell silent.
"No need." Chun Ling smiled and shook her head, looking at Cheng Silang with some gratitude, "Sister Zhu treats me very well, and I swear to follow her for the rest of my life."
He said and smiled again.
"What's more, now that I'm gone, it won't be so convenient for you to see Miss Zhu again," she said.
Wang Qishilang laughed heartily.
"Okay, okay, good girl." He smiled, "I will never treat you badly in this life."
Chun Ling smiled and turned her gaze to Cheng Silang again.
"Will Mr. Lang stay in the capital for a long time? You must tell Chun Ling before leaving." She said with a bit of reluctance.
This pitiful look made Cheng Silang nod hurriedly.
"I still have to study for a longer time. My sister will leave after seeing her at Shi Qi," he said.
Chun Ling's eyes flashed.
"Lang Jun's sister is also in the capital? Isn't she from Jiangzhou? Does she also come to study?" She blinked and asked in surprise and curiosity.
"No, no." Wang Shiqi grabbed the conversation, pulled Cheng Silang aside, and said with a smile, "His sister lives in her maternal grandfather's house."
"Ah, that's great. Chun Ling will have no relatives left." Chun Ling lowered her head and said sadly.
"It's so good." Seeing that she couldn't be like this, Wang Shiqilang said hurriedly, "That's a fool. He was kicked out of his family and had no choice but to come to his grandfather's house. There is nothing to envy."
