Chapter 11: Poor and lonely like a hairpin-headed phoenix
Squeak!
The window was closed casually.520官网www.
The plaintive singing stopped in the room and no longer flew far away.
A pretty and lovely woman turned around, with a silver bell dangling on her wrist and a smile like a flower: "There has been a ban on music in the city these days, and the sound is causing trouble for people to hear it."
She glanced at the singer behind the screen holding the pipa, and said angrily: "Who allowed you to sing at this time? You're going to die!"
The singer stopped her strings and remained silent.
Not far from the window, there sat a woman with a delicate temperament. She had a sad look in her eyes and a touch of delicate face withered flowers. She was silent and made me feel pity for her.
Hearing the sound, he said: "Miss Ling'er, don't be surprised. I was in a state of uncertainty, so I sang the song."
Xiang Ling'er looked at her, her eyes filled with joy: "How could I blame you, sister Xiuzhang? You are so good-looking, and everything you do is right."
Compared to her enthusiasm, Liu Xiuzhang was obviously much colder. He only said: "I shouldn't have come to this place."
Xiang Ling'er turned around and sat next to her. She tilted her head and looked at her delicate face: "When you say 'this place', do you mean Linzi or Sanfenxiang Building?"
"You shouldn't even come." Liu Xiuzhang said.
"No, no, it's all wrong." Xiang Ling'er shook her head again and again: "If we talk about Linzi, why shouldn't you come? Is this three hundred miles away from Linzi City surnamed Yan? If there is a grudge, it is not the reason.
.When we are born in this world, we should ask others to avoid us, not me to avoid others."
Liu Xiuzhang said nothing.
Xiang Ling'er added: "If we talk about brothels... men can go there, but women can't? There are a lot of butt sellers in the world. Did you know that in the Snow Country, there is a special brothel for men?"
At this point, she curled her lips: "Unfortunately, most of them are in poor shape and of poor quality."
"I don't have any grudges or grudges. I just see the old scene, so why hurt myself?" Liu Xiuzhang said: "As for the brothels you mentioned... Since ancient times, there are some who visit brothels, some who don't, and some who buy and sell skins and flesh.
There are also those who are not contaminated. It doesn’t matter whether they are male or female, I am just the latter. Miss Ling’er, you may be right, but we are different.”
Xiang Ling'er said "Oh": "I understand."
"You want to say that you are on a different path from us." She folded her hands and pressed on the armrest, resting her chin on her forearm. She blinked her watery eyes and looked at Liu Xiuzhang and said, "But now only we can
Help you, what should I do, little beauty?"
She is cute, cute and smart, especially that perfectly fitting smile at the corner of her mouth, which is hard to make people feel bad.
And Liu Xiuzhang is a typical thin beauty, with a slender figure and a waist that is slim and manageable.
But when she sat on the chair, she never looked weak.
A woman with such a delicate temperament seems like she should be sitting alone in a boudoir, crying in front of the mirror.
However, she is now sitting in the Sanfenxiang Building in Linzi City, looking at Xiang Ling'er, who is ranked among the top fragrances in the world, and there is no trace of timidity in her eyes.
"You are not helping me." She said softly: "You are investing in me. You are not the only one who can invest in me, but I happen to be talking to you. This is just a business, very pure and very simple. If you don't think it's profitable, it's okay.
Tu, why would you invite me here?"
Xiang Ling'er slowly sat back, put away her joking expression, and said with a smile: "Unfortunately, your Liu family doesn't seem to be a good investment target. As far as I know, most of the people who invest in the Fufeng Liu family are
All the money has been lost.”
"The same thing is..." Liu Xiuzhang said: "In Qi State, you Sanfenxiang Tower is not a significant investor. There are not many goals that you can choose."
"You convinced me." Xiang Ling'er stretched out her index finger and lightly touched her chin, which was as smooth as gelatin.
Probably trying to show a domineering aura.
But Liu Xiuzhang just frowned and looked at her.
Xiang Ling'er finally retracted her finger without embarrassment and said with a dry smile: "That's too frivolous."
"I am short of time now, and the Liu family is short of time... I believe you are too." Liu Xiuzhang said quietly: "Don't do meaningless things."
She stood up and said, "Then let's stop talking here today."
Xiang Ling'er curled a strand of hair with her fingers: "We haven't talked about anything yet!"
"You want to leave a hole in the Eastern Region, or even move the headquarters... Qi State can't at least shake its head. We already have a clear intention to cooperate, don't we?" Liu Xiuzhang asked rhetorically.
Xiang Ling'er smiled sweetly: "It's a pity that my sister Meiyue is not here... I think you will have a good chat."
Liu Xiuzhang only said: "There will be a chance to see him."
Then he turned around and headed out.
Doors opened and closed, people came and went.
No matter who, when or what happens, it is often repeated again and again.
It wasn't until Liu Xiuzhang's footsteps were far away that the singer sitting behind the screen explained: "It's true that Miss Liu said she wanted to hear this song Chai Tou Feng, so I played it. I didn't mean to challenge Linzi's current ban.
."
"It doesn't matter." Xiang Ling'er waved her hand, jingling bells on her wrist, and said with a smile: "She just wants to test my Sanfen Xianglou's strength. If she can't even settle this matter, then there will be no cooperation.
It’s necessary.”
She Shi Shiran sat down, tilted her head back and pillowed it on the back of the chair: "It's so pitiful that I'm like a phoenix with a hairpin head~"
He closed his eyes gently and murmured: "One more song. I want to listen... Shiba Mo."
The figure behind the screen paused for a moment, but finally did not have the courage to throw the pipa in anger.
Then the strings moved and the screen swayed.
Sadness outside, joy here.
…
…
Jiang Wuqi's funeral took three days in total.
These three days were no different to Jiang Wang. They were nothing more than practicing behind closed doors.
For the current Zhongxuan Sheng... the difference is not big.
The fat man had no intention of going back to Xiashan, so he settled in Jiang Wang's house. He would get up early every day and go to Bowang Mansion to say hello to the old man and cultivate their relationship. He would have morning tea with him and then take a walk.
Come back and practice boxing and sword practice with Shi Shi behind closed doors... everything.
It is euphemistically called: "Using Jiang Wang as a mirror can cure laziness."
Chongxuan Chu Liang passed by once and was pulled by Chongxuansheng to teach him how to practice. In the process of casually crushing Chongxuansheng, he casually asked why his fat nephew didn't live in the Hou Mansion, and this was how Chongxuansheng answered.
Jiang Wang wanted to say: "Then you should practice with me!"
Of course, he disliked Zhongxuan Shenggui, and he was very enthusiastic about following Chu Liang's guidance.
All worldly things are like floating around, and cultivation must come first.
Compared with combat skills, Jiang Wang's current focus is on the study of Taoism, mainly "Dragon and Tiger".
Eight winds come from all directions.
Among the eight winds, the east is called Ming Shufeng, the southeast is called Qingming wind, the south is called Jingfeng, the southwest is called Liangfeng, the west is called Changhefeng, the northwest is called Buzhoufeng, the north is called Guangmofeng, and the northeast is called Rongfeng.
Among the eight winds, Jiang Wang has faced the Jingfeng magical power directly, and he has also seen the breathing tornado that imitates the Ming Shufeng. The most lethal Bu Zhou Feng has a deep control over his magical power.
Taking Buzhou Feng as the basis, and using the various Eight Wind Taoist techniques collected by Chong Xuan Sheng, he completed the work of imitating the Eight Winds in a very short period of time.
This step of "turning the eight winds into tigers" is completely within reach.
The only thing stuck in the "Dragon" of Dragon and Tiger is that he doesn't know how to use the Tongtian Sea. This key problem has been solved after Xiu Yuan personally gave him some guidance.
After the arrival of the gods, the four seas were connected, and the Yun Shen Temple directly controlled the fourth floor and five mansions, and also suppressed the four seas of the human body.
Jiang Wang has not yet arrived as a god, and has not been able to complete his control over the world. However, under Xiu Yuan's guidance, he can also rely on the power of his powerful soul to establish influence over the Tongtian Sea in advance.
Finally on this day, I initially completed this Taoist technique passed down from Jiuyang.
The friendship was so deep that Jiang Wang had no choice but to share the good news with his close friend immediately and see if he could find an opportunity to try the trick.
When he ran to Chongxuan Shengyuan, the fat man was drinking porridge.
A pair of fat hands, a small white jade bowl, drinking heavily.
After finishing a bowl here, Fourteenth handed over a bowl over there. The porridge was bright and moist, and the aroma was really fragrant, making people's fingers lick their fingers.
It must be said that when Chong Xuan Sheng moved into the Jiang Mansion, he was very popular among the Jiang Mansion's servants.
In the past, Butler Xie really wanted to be in line with the living standards of other third-grade officials, but his own Lord Jiang was a bit picky, and it was difficult to achieve his goal with the money he spent on his family.
After Chong Xuan Sheng was ready to live there permanently, the living standards of the Jiang family rose at a speed visible to the naked eye.
After all, Butler Xie didn't know Lord Jiang's suffering. Lord Jiang really wasn't stingy, but he was used to eating too much food, so he couldn't afford much money at all.
In fact, he is also very worried about the living conditions in Jiang Mansion. He has long been thinking about inviting Brother Yan Xian to stay for a while. He can entertain his friends at his home to show his sincerity. If Brother Yan Xian is not satisfied with the living environment,
If he wants to adjust, he will reluctantly agree and give his best friend enough freedom.
It's a pity that Xie Ping doesn't know about this painstaking effort...
"What to eat?" Jiang Wang asked knowingly.
Chongxuan Sheng didn't even raise his head: "Go and serve it yourself."
Jiang Wang was about to let out a disdainful snort, but after moving his nose, he suppressed it again.
After drinking the porridge first, it's not too late to talk about Taoism.
He walked calmly to the tiger-print casserole that was said to be bought at a high price from Dinglou. While serving the porridge, he said casually: "Speaking of cooking porridge, I actually have some experience. I once discussed it with His Highness the Crown Prince..."
"That's right." Zhong Xuansheng suddenly interrupted: "I have news for you. My cousin has occupied the top spot in the October Haixun Ranking."
Speaking of which, Diaohailou is also pitiful.
Before the meeting of the Yellow River, Ji Zhaonan went to Yiliemi Realm to practice his gun. He easily set a new record of being number one on the Haixun List. It was obviously to overpower Diao Hailou, and he did…
That record was not broken until the following month by Chen Zhitao.
This time Zhongxuanzun went to sea and easily topped the list again.
The Hai Xun List used by the Zhenhai League to unite the hearts of the offshore islands has actually become a prop for the genius of Qi to become famous. Only when the genius of Qi leaves and stops playing can the young geniuses of Diaohailou compete for fame on the list.
The hearts of the people fighting against the Hai Clan are united, but who leads the people's hearts is worth pondering.
This was undoubtedly a blow to the newly established Zhenhai League.
After all, cooking skills are a small thing. Since Zhong Xuan Sheng talked about overseas affairs, Lord Jiang sat down and said casually: "With Zhong Xuan Zun's strength, it's strange that he didn't get the first place... Why, he is going back to Linzi."
?”
Zhong Xuan Sheng shook his head slightly: "How could he give up the battlefield of Xingyue Plains and go to sea specifically just for this reason? To get the top spot on the deputy list is only the same as your record at that time. Although his Hai Xun is much higher than yours
, but when you created this achievement, it was only at the inner government level."
"Then what else can he do? Overwhelm the monks from Diaohai Tower and Wailou? There's no point in that. He has already proven that he is one of the strongest Wailou monks in the world on the river viewing platform... Hai Clan?" Jiang Wang stopped his hand.
Jade Shao: "Does he want to challenge the king of the sea clan?"
"Who knows?" Chongxuan Sheng said: "I only know that with his pride, he went to sea specifically once. If his reputation could not surpass yours at that time, he would definitely not be willing to come back."
Jiang Wang said quietly: "His genius is there, and you can't be too proud."
Chong Xuansheng smiled: "In the past, you were the inner palace, and he was the outer building, and they had nothing to do with each other. Now you have also erected a star tower, and now both of you are arguing about who is the most talented person in Qi...
It's such an uproar! You don't just belittle him, but you actually praise him?"
"I didn't praise him." Jiang Wang said calmly, "I just stated the facts."
Zhong Xuansheng couldn't help but roll his eyes at him: "I'm just annoyed by your old master behavior. Can't you scold him a few words in front of me and comfort me?"
Jiang Wang said slowly: "Comfort is essentially a lie. You are too smart to be deceived."
"Which book is it in?" Chong Xuansheng asked.
Jiang Wang suddenly froze.
The sentence he subconsciously quoted came from the book Jiang Wuqi gave him.
Emperor Wu of Qi said this line when he hooked up with the Empress Dowager of Ming Dynasty!
"Well, I've been reading too many books lately, so I forgot." He lowered his head and sipped his porridge.
Chong Xuan Sheng didn't care at all. While enjoying the porridge service from Shi Shi, he asked casually: "By the way, what did His Highness Shi Shi give you? I never saw you tell me."
Jiang Wang snored and drank half a bowl of porridge before saying in a muffled voice: "A picture of characters."
Zhong Xuansheng glanced at him: "It's just a single word. Why are you nervous?"
"Why am I nervous?" Jiang Wang raised his head with a puzzled look on his face: "No?"
Chong Xuansheng looked at him suspiciously, but considering that someone like Jiang Wuqi might have some secrets that were difficult to reveal, it was really not appropriate to ask. Then he said instead: "Huh, I didn't know that your friendship was so good.
"
While they were chatting, the housekeeper walked to the gate of the courtyard and said, "Sir, Mr. Zheng Shangming from the Inspection Office is here to visit, and he is also accompanied by Mr. Lin Youxielin, the deputy inspector."
Jiang Wang pushed the porridge bowl and stood up: "Did you tell me why?"
The butler shook his head: "No."
Jiang Wang went out to greet him and ordered: "When Mr. Zheng comes from now on, there is no need to pass the message. Just invite him in."
After thinking for a while, he added: "Deputy Ambassador Lin's words still need to be communicated. It is best to ask clearly about the purpose of the visit before communicating."
When I walked out of the hospital gate, I happened to see Zheng Shangming and Lin Youxie standing not far away.
Especially Lin Youxie, his eyes were dark, deep, and far away...
"Haha." Zheng Shangming, probably to ease the embarrassment, laughed and said: "Brother Jiang, this house is really nice!"
"Brother Zheng, thank you..." Jiang Wang was also very polite: "Mr. Lin, come here, please come here! Quick, ask someone to serve tea and bring me my good tea. These are all distinguished guests."
Butler Xie walked back to Chongxuan Shengyuan very skillfully... Where can Mr. Jiang get good tea?
"No need." Lin Youxie cut off his words expressionlessly and said in a business-like manner: "We are here to visit this time because we have a case, and we want to ask Capt. Jiang to help us handle it."
Jiang Wang suddenly had a bad feeling: "What case?"
