Chapter 1379: Poor and Lonely Like a Hairpin

Squeak!

The window was closed casually.

The plaintive singing stopped in the room and no longer flew far away.

A cute and charming woman turned around, with a silver bell dangling on her wrist and a smile like a flower: "There is forbidden music in the city these days, and the sound is causing trouble for people to hear it."

She glanced at the singer holding the pipa behind the screen, 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, a woman with a delicate temperament sat. The dizzy eyes with two points of sadness, a touch of delicate face withered flowers, and no words, already made me feel pity for him.

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 have 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, whose surname is Yan? If there is hatred, if there is resentment, it is not the reason. . When we are born in this world, we should ask others to avoid me, not me. "

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. It's just that the old scene is still in my mind. 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 people who are not contaminated. It doesn’t matter whether they are men or women. I’m 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, pressed on the armrest, and rested 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.

Liu Xiuzhang is a typical thin beauty, with a slender figure and a slim waist that can be held.

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, 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, 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 targets 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 retracted her finger without embarrassment and said with a dry smile: "It'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.

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, 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 lasted for three days.

These three days made no difference to Jiang Wang, it was nothing more than closed-door cultivation.

For Chong Xuansheng now... it didn't make much difference.

This fat guy had no intention of returning to Xiashan Villa, so he settled in Jiang Wang's house. He got up early every day to go to Bowang Marquis's Mansion to greet the old marquis and cultivate feelings. He accompanied him for morning tea, then strolled back and practiced boxing and swordsmanship with Fourteen behind closed doors... everything.

He called it "taking Jiang Wang as a mirror, you can cure laziness."

Chong Xuan Chuliang passed by once and was pulled by Chong Xuansheng to teach him how to practice. In the process of crushing Chong Xuansheng casually, he asked his fat nephew why he didn't live in the marquis' mansion, and Chong Xuansheng answered like this.

Jiang Wang wanted to say: "Then you should practice with me!"

Of course, he disliked Chong Xuansheng, but he also enjoyed taking advantage of Chong Xuan Chuliang's guidance.

All worldly affairs are like floating dust, and cultivation must be the first.

Compared with combat skills, Jiang Wang's current focus is on the study of Taoism, mainly "Dragon and Tiger".

The eight winds come from eight directions.

The east is called Mingshu Wind, the southeast is called Qingming Wind, the south is called Jingfeng, the southwest is called Liangfeng, the west is called Changhe Wind, the northwest is called Buzhou Wind, the north is called Guangmo Wind, and the northeast is called Rongfeng.

Among the eight winds, Jiang Wang has already faced the Jingfeng supernatural power, and has also seen the blowing tornado that imitates Mingshu Wind. Buzhou Wind, which has the most killing power, is a supernatural power that he has mastered very deeply.

With Buzhou Wind as the foundation, and with the help of various eight wind Taoist arts collected by Chongxuansheng, he completed the work of simulating the eight winds in a very short time.

The step of "leading the eight winds into tigers" was completely easy to achieve.

The only thing stuck was the "dragon" of the dragon and tiger, and he didn't know how to use Tongtianhai. This key problem has been solved after Xiuyuan's personal guidance.

After the God's arrival, the four seas are connected, and the Yunshen Temple directly controls the four floors and five palaces, and also suppresses the four seas of the human body.

Jiang Wang has not yet reached the God's arrival, and has not been able to complete the control of the four seas of the human body. But under Xiuyuan's guidance, he can also rely on the powerful power of the soul to build influence on Tongtian Sea in advance.

Finally on this day, the Taoist technique passed down from Jiuyang was initially completed.

With such a deep friendship, Jiang Wang had to share the good news with his best friend as soon as possible, and see if he could find an opportunity to try his tricks.

When he ran to Chongxuansheng's courtyard, the fat man was drinking porridge.

A pair of fat hands, a small white jade bowl, drinking slurpingly.

After drinking a bowl here, Fourteen handed over a bowl over there. The porridge was bright and moist, and it was indeed fragrant, which made people salivate.

It must be said that Chongxuansheng was very popular with the servants of Jiang Mansion when he moved into Jiang Mansion.

In the past, Steward Xie wanted to live up to the standard of living of other third-rank officials, but his own Lord Jiang was a bit stingy, and the money used for household expenses was really difficult to achieve his goal.

After Chong Xuansheng made preparations for permanent residence, the living standards of the Jiang family rose at a visible speed.

Steward Xie didn't know the hardship of Lord Jiang. Lord Jiang was not stingy, but he was used to living beyond his means and couldn't afford to spend much.

He was actually very worried about the living conditions in the Jiang family, and had long been thinking about when to invite Brother Yanxian to stay for a while. He entertained his friends at home to show his sincerity. If Brother Yanxian was dissatisfied with the living environment and wanted to make some adjustments, he would reluctantly agree to give his best friend enough freedom.

It's a pity that Xie Ping didn't know this painstaking effort...

"What are you eating?" Jiang Wang asked knowingly.

Chong Xuansheng didn't even raise his head: "Go get it yourself."

Jiang Wang was about to snort disdainfully, but after moving his nose, he suppressed it.

It's not too late to talk about Taoism after drinking porridge first.

He walked to the tiger-patterned casserole that was said to be bought from Dinglou at a high price. While serving porridge, he casually said, "Speaking of cooking porridge, I actually have some experience. I once discussed it with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince..."

"By the way." Chong Xuansheng suddenly interrupted, "I have a piece of news to tell you. My cousin has already occupied the top spot on the October Haixun List."

Speaking of which, Diaohailou is also pitiful.

Before the Yellow River meeting, Ji Zhaonan went to Yitang Mijie to practice spearmanship. He created a new record of being the first on the Haixun List, which was obviously to suppress Diaohailou, and he did suppress it...

That record was not broken until the next month by Chen Zhitao.

This time, Chong Xuanzun went out to sea and easily occupied the top spot on the sub-list.

The Haixun List used by Zhenhai League to gather the hearts of the people in the offshore islands has become a prop for the Qi Guo Tianjiao to become famous. The young genius of Diaohailou must leave and stop playing, so that he can compete for the list.

The people who fight against the sea clan have united, but who is the leader of this people's hearts is worth pondering.

This is undoubtedly a blow to the newly established Zhenhai League.

Cooking is a minor skill after all. Since Chong Xuansheng talked about overseas things, Lord Jiang sat down and said casually: "With Chong Xuanzun's strength, it would be strange if he couldn't get the top spot... Why, he is going back to Linzi?"

Chong Xuansheng shook his head lightly: "He gave up the Xingyueyuan battlefield and went out to sea once. How could it be just for this? Getting the top spot on the vice list is only equal to your record at that time. Although his sea merit is much higher than yours, when you created this result, you were only at the inner court level."

"Then what else can he do? Overwhelm the monks of Diaohailou's outer building? There is no point. He has proved that he is among the strongest outer buildings in the world on the Guanhetai... Sea clan?" Jiang Wang stopped the jade spoon in his hand: "He doesn't want to challenge the king of the sea clan?"

"Who knows?" Chong Xuansheng said, "I only know that with his pride, he would definitely not want to come back if he can't surpass you in popularity."

Jiang Wang said calmly, "His talent is there, no matter how proud he is, it's not too much."

Chong Xuansheng smiled, "Before, you were in the inner court, and he was in the outer building, and you had nothing to do with each other. Now you have also set up the Star Tower, and now everyone is arguing about who is the first pride of Qi State... The quarrel is very intense! You don't belittle him, but you praise him?"

"I didn't praise him." Jiang Wang said calmly, "I'm just stating the facts."

Chong Xuansheng couldn't help but roll his eyes at him, "I'm just annoyed by your old man's appearance. Can't you scold him in front of me and comfort me?"

Jiang Wang said slowly, "Comfort is essentially a deceptive thing. You are too smart and it's hard to be deceived."

"Which book is it from?" Chong Xuansheng asked.

Jiang Wang froze for a moment.

The sentence he subconsciously quoted came from the book Jiang Wuqi gave him.

Emperor Wu of Qi said this line when he was flirting with Queen Mother Ming!

"Uh, I've been reading a lot lately, so I forgot." He lowered his head to drink porridge.

Chong Xuansheng didn't care. While enjoying Fourteen's service of adding porridge, he casually asked: "By the way, what did the Eleventh Prince give you? I never heard you say it."

Jiang Wang gulped down half a bowl of porridge before muffledly saying: "A calligraphy."

Chong Xuansheng glanced at him: "Why are you so nervous about just a calligraphy."

"What am I nervous about?" Jiang Wang raised his head, looking puzzled: "No?"

Chong Xuansheng looked at him suspiciously, but thinking about a person like Jiang Wuqi, perhaps there are some secrets that are not convenient to disclose, and it is indeed not appropriate to ask. Then he said, "Oh, I didn't know you two were so close."

While they were chatting, the housekeeper walked to the gate of the courtyard: "Master, Zheng Shangming, the inspector's mansion, is here to visit, and he is accompanied by the deputy inspector Lin Youxie."

Jiang Wang pushed the bowl of porridge and stood up: "Did you tell me why?"

The housekeeper shook his head: "No."

Jiang Wang went out to greet him and instructed: "In the future, when Mr. Zheng comes, you don't need to let him in, just come in directly."

After thinking for a while, he added: "If Deputy Envoy Lin says something, you still need to let him in, and it's best to ask clearly about the purpose of the visit before letting him in."

Walking out of the gate of the courtyard, I saw Zheng Shangming and Lin Youxie standing not far away.

Especially Lin Youxie, his eyes were so deep, so far away…

“Haha.” Zheng Shangming laughed dryly to ease the embarrassment: “Brother Jiang’s house is really nice!”

“Brother Zheng, thank you for the compliment…” Jiang Wang was also very polite: “Master Lin, come here, please! Quick, ask someone to serve tea, bring my good tea, these are all distinguished guests.”

Butler Xie walked back to Chongxuansheng Courtyard very skillfully… Where does Master Jiang have good tea?

“No need.” Lin Youxie interrupted expressionlessly, and said in a businesslike manner: “We are visiting this time because we have a case, and we want to ask Captain Jiang to help with it.”

Jiang Wang immediately had a bad premonition: “What case?”

“Feng Gu is dead.”

Lin Youxie said these four words very calmly.

Two in one, see you tomorrow.
