The Bloody Road to Longevity Chapter 11: Qiu Xiang Lou


Jiang Xiaobai returned to the Hou Mansion, it was already dark, and the entire Hou Mansion could not see a single light, like an abandoned ancient temple, blending into the empty darkness, feeling gloomy.

But the rumors are used to it, and they don't feel scared at all, but like a mouse, dancing happily in the dark.

Only in the backyard did I see a room with a faint light on. This is the kitchen. Now, there is not as much attention to eating as before. Now, the kitchen is used to make a room. For convenience, a table is placed on the side, and the four of them can eat together casually.

Feng Yan opened the door and saw the old butler and Feng Yu sitting at the table facing each other, eating. The meals are also very simple, one bowl of porridge per person and a plate of pickles in the middle. Jiang Xiaobai looked a little sad, thinking that this family of three were loyal to the Hou Mansion, but they fell into this field.

The old butler put down the bowls and chopsticks, got up and said, "Young master is back, have you eaten yet?"

Jiang Xiaobai said: "I just dealt with a little thing, but I haven't eaten yet!"

The old housekeeper had long been used to the little Hou Ye going out late and returning late, or even not returning. He guessed that he was going somewhere to steal chickens and dogs, so he didn't cook his meals at all. Feng Yu hurriedly stood up and said, "Then young master, wait a moment, I'll do it for you again."

Jiang Xiaobai waved his hand and said, "No need to do it, let's go out to eat!"

Feng Yu said in a daze: "Young master, let's just have a meal, why waste that money?" If it wasn't for the young master's face, I really wanted to say, don't you need money to go out to eat?

Feng Yan interfaced: "It's not wrong at all, Feng Yu, let me tell you, the young master has made a fortune today, and you just lie in the restaurant and eat for three days and three nights. For the young master, it is only a drop in the bucket. Hurry up and leave. Well, the thought of eating it soon made my saliva drool, and I almost forgot what meat tastes like."

Feng Yu said urgently: "Brother, what are you talking about?"

Jiang Xiaobai said: "The rumor is not nonsense, let's go!"

Feng Yu and the old butler looked at each other, although he didn't believe that the young master would make a fortune for nothing, but thinking of the changes in the young master today, and the appearance of Feng Yan's promise, he couldn't help but have some doubts, but this is a good thing after all, and I didn't ask any more questions. , followed Jiang Xiaobai out.

Leaving the Hou Mansion is like entering another world. The streets are brightly lit and people come and go. Jiang Xiaobai walked in front, the old housekeeper was suspicious, he deliberately took the rumors and dropped a lot, asking his doubts. Feng Yan did not dare to hide it, so he told him everything that happened in the afternoon. At the end, the rumor said: "Father, don't blame the young master for being ridiculous, he is also forced to, it is Qin Shangtian who is too deceiving."

The old housekeeper said angrily: "Who said that the young master is messing around? This is what he should do. The prince should have the prestige of the prince, and even those clowns who jumped on the beam dared to show off their power in front of the prince and killed everyone. It's not an exaggeration. Not bad, what the young master has done today has finally lived up to the high expectations of the master."

Rumour Yan stared at him blankly. He couldn't think of the old man who often shed tears. He was more kind than him in his bones. Am I still your biological son?

Qiuxiang Lou is the largest restaurant in Qingliang City.

If in normal times, Xiao Er saw Xiao Houye, he would ignore him and even shoot him out, but today the news that Xiaohouye killed the guard has been widely circulated in the city, and no one knows about it. Next, the little Marquis cut off his head with one sword just because he was unhappy with watching the guard. If it were someone else, they would have been put on death row for a long time, but if you look at them, killing someone is like killing a chicken. Although Xiao Er has a low status, he is not stupid. He knows that Xiao Houye has no money, but he does not dare not to let others stroll around. Now he is going to visit his quilt, and he does not dare to have an opinion. Busily greeted him with a smile on his face, and said, "Little Marquis, I don't know if you are looking for someone, or?"

Jiang Xiaobai said: "Is there still a box?"

Xiao Er wanted to say no, but he didn't have the guts, for fear of being discovered by the little prince and sending him to see the guards of the Qin family. After all, he was not familiar with the guards of the Qin family and had nothing to talk about, so he said: " Yes, yes, but the private room is too expensive, it's not worth it at all... Look... do you have to think about it again!" While talking, he peeked at the little Marquis, for fear that the little Marquis would be unhappy, regardless of whether he or the Qin family If the guard is not familiar with him, he should also be sent there.

Jiang Xiaobai opened his eyes, stared at him and said, "Do you think Ben Hou can't pay?"

Xiao Er felt that although he didn't draw his sword, his eyes were sharper than the sword, which made him horrified, and hurriedly said: "No, no, if the little prince can't pay, we don't want this restaurant. Open, who can afford it? Little Marquis, please go upstairs!" I thought to myself, even if he eats Bawang's meal, it's none of my business, no matter how important it is, it's not life important!

The old housekeeper's family of three sighed with emotion. After many years, they finally felt that they were following a prince instead of a monkey. Everyone on the street could shout a few times.

Entering the box, Xiao Er brought the menu, Jiang Xiaobai didn't order, and the old housekeeper and Feng Yu only ordered one or two dishes symbolically, but Feng Yu was rude, feeling that there was no dish he didn't want to eat on the menu, Ordered more than 30 dishes in one go. Seeing Xiao Er sucked in a breath, this further confirmed their idea of ​​eating the Overlord's meal, because he was so familiar with this method. Originally, he wanted to notify Zhang Shu, but he was afraid that Xiao Hou Ye would retaliate in the future. Anyway, he It is to do things according to the procedures, whatever it is, no matter how important things are, they are not important.

After a while, more than 30 dishes were served, and a table was filled to the brim. This family of three has lived a shabby life these years, and their food and clothing can't be solved. Where have they seen so many delicious dishes, but the old housekeeper He Fengyu is also reserved, chewing slowly, but Fengyan can't care about his demeanor at this time, gobbling it, hugging For the altar cow drink, because the table is too big and there is no supply of extended chopsticks, we can only shoot a shot and change to another place. After eating here, we will continue in another place and run around the table.

Jiang Xiaobai knew that he had suffered a lot with him over the years, so he didn't say anything.

When he was full of wine and food, the old butler couldn't help but tentatively said: "Master, what are you going to do with this thousand taels of gold?" To tell the truth, he was really afraid that after the young master had money, he would return to normal. Eat, drink, prostitute and gamble every day, and don't think about making progress. After all, the country is easy to change, and the nature is hard to change.

Jiang Xiaobai didn't even think about it, he took out a thousand taels of silver bill from his arms, handed it to him, and said, "I'll leave it to you in the future!"

The old housekeeper panicked: "Master, that's not what I meant!"

Jiang Xiaobai said: "Uncle Feng, I don't have any other intentions, so don't look outside. You have done your best to the Hou Mansion all these years. Don't I still believe you?" You know, I don't If you know how to manage your finances, this money is useless to me. You take this money. Tomorrow you will not only find someone to pull up the grass, but you will also find someone to renovate the inside and outside of the Hou Mansion, and you will have to recruit some servants to come back. I fell into the prestige of the Hou Mansion. You also helped me repay the debt I owed before. Of course, Qin Shangtian should not repay the money. , it is estimated that it is only a few dozen taels of gold. The rest of the money should be saved to buy some properties, after all, it will not last long.”

The old butler now firmly believes that the young master is really a prodigal son. It is said that the prodigal son does not exchange for gold when he returns, and as expected, he gets so much gold in one go. I was so moved that I couldn't help but burst into tears again, saying: "Young master, don't worry, as long as you get lost, I promise to take care of the Hou Mansion in an orderly manner, and let the world look up to its glory."

He is indeed a capable person, otherwise he would not have been the steward of the Hou Mansion, but it is difficult for a clever woman to cook without rice in these years, and he has nowhere to show his ambitions.

Jiang Xiaobai nodded and said, "I believe you." Looking at the rumors, he said, "From tomorrow onwards, without my consent, the two of you must not leave the Hou's residence for half a step, and stay in the Hou's residence for me to practice honestly. , when will you be able to open up the void and show the seal, and when will you be able to go out!"

The rumor said: "It must not be boring to death."

Jiang Xiaobai said: "Cultivation is a boring thing. If you regret it, you can choose to quit."

The rumor said: "No regrets, no regrets, no matter how boring it is, it's better than being a short-lived ghost!" Suddenly remembered that his father was a short-lived ghost sitting next to him~IndoMTL.com~ quickly changed the topic and said: "Master , what about you? I have to protect you, right?"

Jiang Xiaobai said: "I won't go out either!"

The rumor said: "Master, you are not afraid of Qin Shangtian, are you?"

Jiang Xiaobai said: "Don't worry, he will come to us."

After he finished speaking, he called Xiao Er to settle the bill. To be honest, Xiao Er had already prepared them to eat the overlord meal. Even after they ran away, he had already thought about what to say to the shopkeeper. To check out, it's too out of the way. He hurriedly went downstairs to the counter to settle the account. There were 18 silver coins in total. Jiang Xiaobai threw him a gold coin. He went downstairs and found 82 silver coins. Jiang Xiaobai threw a silver coin to him. tip.

This is his salary for two or three months. Xiao Er was beaming with joy, and hurriedly patted the horse to thank him, secretly rejoicing in his heart, and boasted that he was wise and martial.

Out of the box, just as he was about to leave, he walked to the stairs, but a group of people walked upstairs. The leader was plain looking, but his clothes were luxurious. This person was none other than Zuo Lan, the son of the city lord Qingliang. The person who spent a gold coin during the day to buy Wind Talking Girl Red.

It's autumn now, and the sky is slightly cooler, but Zuo Lan is holding a white fan and fanning it gently, which makes people intuitively coquettish. Seeing Jiang Xiaobai, he was slightly startled. During the day, he had heard about Jiang Xiaobai's killing of the guards of the Qin family, but he had never heard of the blackmailing of a thousand taels of gold. After all, this was a great shame for the Qin family, and it was too late to cover , how can you shake out and give people a joke! So Zuo Lan wondered, how could this young marquis have money to come to such a high-end restaurant with a lot of foreign debts and extreme poverty? Immediately remembered that he gave Feng Yu a gold coin in the daytime, he immediately understood, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, thinking that this little marquis really deserved the name!
