Chapter 158 You Liar!
"My lord, can you think of a way to buy it back?"
Manager Liu bowed forward, stood next to Xuan Lin and asked.
This time, he didn't think carefully and miscalculated the price of the jade carving. If the prince still wanted the jade carving, he could buy it from Sang Ao at a higher price.
Xuan Lin glanced at Manager Liu, raised his legs and walked out.
"Hey, my lord, please give me a message. This matter should be done sooner rather than later."
It’s too late and I don’t know how the jade sculpture was ruined by Sang Ao. It’s a pity that it’s missing arms and legs.
"Liu Qinglan, go get twenty boards."
Manager Liu was shocked and quickly begged: "Your Majesty, I am doing this for us. Twenty dollars is too much, can we just give five dollars?"
With his skin and tender flesh, he could have been beaten twenty times by the guards, but he would never be able to get out of bed for ten days.
Seeing Xuan Lin's pace quicken, Manager Liu continued: "If I am bedridden, who will take care of the prince's daily life."
Xuan Lin stopped and turned to look at Manager Liu.
Hope arose in Mr. Liu's heart, and he was about to continue his plea when he heard Xuan Lin say: "Thirty dollars, go now."
Thirty boards? ! Manager Liu almost screamed, but fortunately he covered his mouth in time. Xuan Lin was furious. If he continued to make him unhappy, he might be in trouble for more than thirty years.
Thinking of this, Manager Liu covered his mouth and ran away.
The next day.
Su Qiao got up early and urged Wen Yunxi to take him to that mysterious place before dawn.
Wen Yunxi was very cooperative and took Su Qiao to climb mountains and wade through rivers for two or three hours to reach the destination.
"Wen Yunxi, you lied to me again!"
Su Qiao looked at the excited gatekeepers in front of him and the Shuiyi tribe's characters on the gate tower, wondering why he still didn't understand.
Wen Yunxi smiled and said, "I didn't lie to you."
"You're obviously...bastard, you said that on purpose!"
This person first used her own secret to lure him, and then she took him to a "mysterious" place. Anyone would think that the mysterious place she mentioned contained the secret of her origin.
"Shh, here they come."
As soon as Wen Yunxi finished speaking, the towering village gate was opened from the inside, and Zhu Zha led everyone from the Shuiyi tribe and ran out to greet him happily.
Seeing this situation, Su Qiao was even more annoyed. The Shuiyi tribe had obviously known that Wen Yunxi was coming today and had been preparing for it.
This bastard!
The Shuiyi tribe members soon stood in two rows. Zha Zha first exchanged greetings with Wen Yunxi, then turned his attention to Su Qiao, with an intriguing expression.
Although Su Qiao was angry, he still smiled and saluted Zhuo Zha and others. Even though they were here, they could not turn around and leave.
He wanted to see what Wen Yunxi's purpose was.
"Where's Ayun?" Wen Yunxi asked.
Su Qiao was stunned when he heard this. Yes, why didn't he see Zhuo Yun?
Zhuo Zha glanced at Su Qiao and said with a smile, "Today is her birthday, and she hasn't come back from the cemetery yet."
According to the custom of the Shui tribe, on the day of your birthday, you have to go to the tribe's cemetery before dawn to worship your ancestors and worship the sages, and you can't go home until the sun is in the middle.
On the way to Zhuo's house, Su Qiao complained: "You should have known Zhuo Yun's birthday earlier. Why didn't you tell me earlier? I didn't bring anything."
Although he was a little afraid of Zhuo Yun, he had to admit that sometimes he admired her. It was rare for a woman to be as brave and resourceful as her.
"I told you that you would come to deliver the gifts in person?" Wen Yunxi asked in a low Qiao was silent, then shook his head and said, "At least I will let you bring it."
Wen Yunxi was not surprised by his answer. He spread his hands and said, "Yes, that's why you appear here."
The reason why she tricked Su Qiao into coming to the Shui Yi Clan was very simple. Firstly, it was to protect his safety, and secondly, it was to exchange conditions with Zhuo Yun.
Zhuo Yun accompanied her to Sang Mansion for business, so she asked Su Qiao to come to Shuiyicheng to help Zhuo Yun celebrate his birthday.
Su Qiao took a deep breath, gritted his teeth and said, "Just wait for me."
Sometimes I really don't blame him for cheating Wen Yunxi, this man really asked for it.
"What's wrong with Mr. Su?" Zha Zha had been paying attention to Su Qiao's movements. Seeing his distorted face, he couldn't help but ask with concern.
Su Qiao quickly raised his hand to wipe his face and returned to his usual smile, "Thank you, Chief Shu, for your concern. I was just inspired by the beauty of Shuiyicheng to be poetic, but I can't choose words to describe it. I'm a little confused."
Zhuo Zha nodded with satisfaction and was quite impressed by the flattery in Su Qiao's words. Although he didn't know why he was so entangled, he just thought it was the habit of the Central Plains literati and didn't think about it further.
Wen Yunxi couldn't hold back his laughter. Among other things, Su Dajun, the top pick in the university, had great adaptability.
But well...
"Then Lao Su is the number one scholar." The elder who came to greet him smiled and held his hands.
One sentence in exchange for a poem for the clan is a good deal.
Su Qiao agreed with a smile, and when no one was paying attention, he glared at Wen Yunxi, blaming this man for cheating him! At first, Su Qiao was thinking about going back, but as he went deeper and deeper, he couldn't think about it at all.
His first impression of the Shuiyi Tribe came from Village Chief Zhang and his followers, thinking that they were indeed buying and selling people and cannibalizing human flesh as , I learned that the Shuiyi tribe was wrongly accused of throwing dirty water, and my view of the Shuiyi tribe did not change much.
In his eyes, Lanzhou is a semi-civilized barbarian land. Even if the Shuiyi tribe does not have those behaviors, they are still barbarians , during the years he was on the mountain, he only dared to stay halfway up the mountain and deliberately avoided the possible roads going up the mountain, fearing that one day he would meet someone from the Shuiyi tribe and be arrested.
It wasn't until he came into contact with Zhuo Yun and other Shuiyi people that he realized how wrong he was. The Shuiyi people not only had their own culture, but some systems were even more reasonable than those in the Central Plains.
Now, he felt differently.
Houses with different shapes, colorful flower gardens, smiling tribesmen, and hard-working young people in the martial arts training ground are peaceful and beautiful, just like a paradise in the world.
When passing by a place, Su Qiao stopped curiously.
"What is this doing?"
Zha Zha glanced into the distance and said with a smile: "That's at the free clinic. The young doctors asked me to spread the news when they came back yesterday. They will start treating patients there before dawn."
When he said this, his face was filled with pride.
Free clinic?
Su Qiao looked there carefully again. Although he couldn't see clearly the conditions of the pavilions, there were indeed many old and weak people queuing up.
When he was in Pingxiba, he didn't have much contact with those girls, but he also knew that they were quite good-mannered and were patient and meticulous in treating patients. Sometimes they would not finish the waiting list when they got off work, and they would insist on seeing the patients even if they missed dinner. In fact, rare.
Unexpectedly, they just had a holiday and couldn't give themselves any rest time. They started to provide free medical treatment for the clan members early in the morning.
"You really have great eyesight."
Su Qiao shook his head and couldn't help but praise Wen Yunxi.
"Of course, I fell in love with you, the top pick, at a glance."
Wen Yunxi looked away and looked at Su Qiao with a smile.
Su Qiao: "..."
"Ahem, let's keep walking."
It has to be said that Wen Yunxi not only has good vision, but is also very skilled in making people confused.
