"Sir, do you know what it is? This is a rare gemstone in the world, called 'Fengluan Stone', which has the magical effect of promoting blood circulation and warming the body. The female descendants of our clan are born with Xuanyin. After birth, they not only need to take anthers, but also
You must wear this strange stone. Otherwise, you will also suffer from the extreme cold."
Isabel explained to Zhou Xingyun in a leisurely manner that the anthers could maintain her life and the 'Fengluan Stone' could repel cold and warm the body. Only by combining the two could she grow up safely as a child without being tortured.
"My lord, please know that without this 'Fengluan Stone', my descendants would still have to suffer from extreme cold every day even if they could rely on taking anthers to save their lives. Today, in order to show my high hopes and sincerity to your lord, Isabel
I have decided to entrust this rare stone to you." Isabel took Zhou Xingyun's hands and slowly placed the ruby with the residual warmth of the girl between her hearts on his palm.
"Give this... to me? Really give it to me?" Zhou Xingyun felt as if he had found a treasure. He held the Fengluan Stone tightly with both hands. Sister Xuannu finally compromised and showed her kindness to him. It was an unexpected gain. Moreover, the gem necklace was
Taking it out of Isabel's arms, it was warm and fragrant, really exciting.
Zhou Xingyun did not doubt Isabel's words because she mentioned Qili'an before, hinting to him that if he didn't believe it, he could go to Qili'an for confirmation.
"Fengluan Stone is a family heirloom of our clan, a relic left to me by my grandmother. The descendants of our clan still need it to relieve the pain caused by extreme cold, so please forgive me for being rude and not giving it to
Sir. However, I am willing to place it on you to prove my daughter's affection for you."
Isabel said very thoughtfully. After Zhou Xingyun listened, he could only use four words to describe his feelings at this moment, that is... elated.
When Sister Xuannv handed the gem to him, wasn't it equivalent to placing the livelihood security of her family's descendants on him? Although Isabel could ask him to get it back at any time, or even steal it secretly, but...
Zhou Xingyun is so happy that Sister Xuannu finally took practical actions to put his mind at ease. This is undoubtedly the most effective negotiation between the two parties. The relationship between the two has taken a big step forward.
"No problem! I promise to carry it with me 24 hours a day! It will never be lost." From Isabel's words, Zhou Xingyun came to the conclusion that Feng Luan Stone is a beauty's personal accessory.
"Thank you, Mr. Zhou."
"You're welcome, you're welcome."
Isabel's sudden show of favor to Zhou Xingyun today was not just because she wanted to open a restaurant in the capital. It was because this was her best choice at the moment.
Isabel must gain Zhou Xingyun's trust as soon as possible. Only by doing so can she get more benefits.
After staying at Zhou Xingyun's residence for two days, Isabel had already obtained the information she wanted. Combining all the information, she concluded that cooperation with Zhou Xingyun was a top priority.
First, Qili'an got involved with Zhou Xingyun inexplicably. Today, she ignored her orders and left Xuanbing Palace disciples to come to the capital to prevent her from harming Zhou Xingyun's interests.
Based on this alone, Isabel had to make good friends with Zhou Xingyun, at least the two of them could not conflict. After all, Qili'an was the second master of Xuanbing Palace.
Second, there are too many masters in Zhou Xingyun's mansion. Even Tangyuan, the daughter of the sect leader of Blood Dragon Mausoleum, did not know how to move into Zhou's mansion. Although Isabel could not imagine the relationship between Zhou Xingyun, Fengtian City and Blood Dragon Mausoleum, she
It is certain that as long as Rao Yue and Tang Yuan are willing to speak for Zhou Xingyun, the two evil sects will try their best to cooperate. This is an unimaginable force.
What's more, Nangong Ling, Xiao Qing, and the head of Narcissus Pavilion who is pretending to be a magician have all sneaked into the official residence, turning Zhou Xingyun's mansion into a deep pool of hidden dragons and crouching tigers. The fighting potential is immeasurable. It will be harmless to Isabel to win them over.
Third, Isabel has determined that Zhou Xingyun is really a new member of the court. Yesterday, Feng Yu of the Shangshe Bureau personally visited him and gave him a big gift. She saw it all. Moreover, Zhou Xingyun seemed to be planning something. He went out early this morning and seemed to go to see him.
The daughter of the Minister of War.
Fourth, Zhou Xingyun said during dinner that he hoped that the envoys from each sect would choose a representative to follow him to contact the court. Isabel hoped to win Zhou Xingyun's trust and, as the representative of the envoys from each sect, meet the sixteenth son of the emperor, or
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.
It is true that Zhou Xingyun is very vigilant. If she does not fall in love with him and makes him trust her more, he will never take her to see his boss easily.
Fifth, Isabel is a smart woman. After several contacts, she has gotten to know Zhou Xingyun quite well and knows that only by showing kindness to him can she get more rewards. Therefore, she learned a little from Qili'an and took the initiative to give in a small step so that she could get more rewards.
Come to more benefits.
Sixth, Isabel had long wanted to set up a Xuanbing Palace sub-base in the capital. However, the land in the capital was very expensive, and without the support of dignitaries, it would be difficult for a foreign sect to gain a foothold in the capital.
Now Isabel could only show her kindness to Zhou Xingyun and ask him to help her take care of everything, so as not to open an inn and have to pay extra to serve the official.
To sum up, Isabel very wisely compromised with Zhou Xingyun, at least letting him understand that she was sincerely cooperating with him and that we could become good partners of mutual help and mutual benefit.
"Lord Zhou, can you do me this little favor?" Isabel thoughtfully poured a cup of tea for Zhou Xingyun, held it in both hands and brought it to his mouth, as if offering tea instead of wine, and respectfully drank a cup to Zhou Xingyun.
"It's all on me! Sister Xuannu wants to open an inn, and I will definitely help her!" Zhou Xingyun held the beauty's hands, drank the tea in one gulp, and decided the matter happily.
Zhou Xingyun was very happy. He chatted with the beauty for a full hour and drank three large pots of tea before he couldn't hold back his urine and left Isabel's room. He went back to rest with more than satisfied.
Although Zhou Xingyun got a lot of money today, Isabel not only coaxed him to hand over various secret sauce recipes, but also asked him to provide money and help to help find land in the capital, sponsor her to open a canteen, and
Clearing bureaucracy and so on...
Under the sweet words of the beauty, Zhou Xingyun agreed without hesitation. As the saying goes, a family is easy to discuss, and Sister Xuannu heartily handed over the family heirloom. How could he refuse the beauty's request?
Seeing Zhou Xingyun readily agreeing to all her requests, Isabel couldn't help but wonder. If she had known that this guy was so easy to deal with, she would not have intrigued with him, but directly followed Qi Li'an's example, giving him a little benefit and making some practical promises.
.
The elated Zhou Xingyun was like a perverted pig begging to be slaughtered, as stupid as a pig. If Zhou Xingyun hadn't volunteered to write notes and IOUs, Isabel would have almost suspected that he was pretending to be crazy and was joking to deceive her...
After Zhou Xingyun went to the latrine, he ran to Qili'an's room just in case to confirm the authenticity of what Isabel said.
Qili'an was shocked when she saw Zhou Xingyun holding the Fengluan Stone, and murmured why the woman would entrust this thing to Mr. Zhou. Could it be that that woman, like Qili'an, had ulterior motives for Mr. Zhou!
Zhou Xingyun believed that Isabel did have an ulterior motive for him, but this motive was different from Qili'an's. To be precise, Qi Li'an had an ulterior motive, while Isabel had another agenda. One motive and one conspiracy cannot be compared in nature.
…
However, after learning from Qili'an that the Fengluan Stone was indeed an indispensable treasure of the Isabel family, Zhou Xingyun felt relieved. At least he had something on hand that could be used as a bargaining chip to check and balance Isabel and prevent the beauty from doing so.
He suddenly changed sides and was so angry that he suffered internal injuries.
In fact, Zhou Xingyun ignored the role of Qili'an. For Isabel, Qili'an is more threatening than Fengluan Stone. First, because of Qili'an's special status, Isabel must not lose Qili'an if she wants to revive.
The An family supports them. The second reason is that without Fengluan Stone, they can still survive. However, they have to suffer from the cold when they are young. They only need to take double the anthers and soak in hot water to warm up.
Zhou Xingyun's visit at night undoubtedly made Qili'an's heart beat faster. Fortunately, Zhou Xingyun only came to confirm Isabel's information and did not misbehave with the girl. Otherwise, Qili'an would have ascended to heaven.
Isabel entrusted her treasure to Zhou Xingyun. Qili'an was not far behind and wanted to entrust her treasure to Zhou Xingyun. However, when she found out that her treasure was a rag doll with Zhou Xingyun's name on it... Qili'an
The girl was decisive and embarrassed to give in, and in the end she could only hold the baby with tears streaming down her face, blaming herself for her lack of future.
Zhou Xingyun chatted with Qili'an for half an hour, and finally succeeded in coaxing the girl to bed, covering her with a quilt, saying good night, and then returned to his room.
When Zhou Xingyun returned to his room, he didn't know what to say for a moment, because Wei Suyao, Xu Zhiqian, Mo Nianxi, and Qin Beiyan were all chatting in his bedroom, as if they knew Rao Yue was coming tonight and were in his room specially.
Just wait and see what method Rao Yue will use to help Zhou Xingyun regain his internal strength.
Except for Qin Beiyan who really wanted to know how to heal her wounds, the other three were here to cause damage. Mo Nianxi made a bed with all her hands and feet and made it clear that she would stay in his bedroom and not leave.
With no other choice, Zhou Xingyun could only obey the majority and follow the beauties. Since the girl wanted to be with him so much, why not?
As a result, Zhou Xingyun was not able to have a double cultivation with Rao Yue, but he was able to have a good sleep surrounded by beautiful women.
The next day, before the sun came out, Zhou Xingyun's mansion was in full swing. Lord Fengyu of the Shangshe Bureau was very efficient in his work. Zhou Xingyun woke up and opened his eyes, and saw people coming and going outside the window, and the repair work was in progress...
Zhou Xingyun originally wanted to complain to everyone. You came to disturb people's dreams before dawn. Do you deserve to be scolded? However, seeing that everyone was building a home for him, Zhou Xingyun decided to say less.
The foreman invited by Mr. Yu from Shangshe Bureau is different. Zhou Xingyun stood in front of the living room door, looking around at the two hundred people busy with work. He couldn't help but sigh at the amazing efficiency. According to this construction speed, it is estimated that his house will be completed in less than five days.
It’s really gratifying to see a dilapidated yard look brand new.
Moreover, Zhou Xingyun heard from the foreman that Mr. Fengyu of Shangshe Bureau had paid in advance and he did not need to pay for the decoration of the yard. After hearing such good news, no matter how bad Zhou Xingyun was, he could not bear to scold the other party for disturbing him in his sleep.
