A knife in love

Chapter 3002

The green-robed old man, the dumpy man, and the yellow-shirted man were able to listen patiently to the gray-clothed old man at the beginning, but they just listened to him talking for a long time, which had nothing to do with Yucheng's origin, and the things he said were unimaginable. impatient.The green-robed old man respected his status, although he was unhappy, he could bear it.The faces of the short fat man and the man in the yellow shirt were getting worse and worse, and they looked at the gray-clothed old man with vicious eyes, wishing they could rush over and beat him up immediately.

The gray-clothed old man stood in the middle of the counter, and through the square opening on the wall of the counter, he had a clear view of the situation in the lobby of the pawn shop. He naturally knew that the green-robed old man and his gang were furious, but he didn't care, it didn't matter. He continued without delay: "Bao Xi bowed and stood there. He didn't know what the woman in the fine clothes said to the man wearing the high crown, and he felt uneasy. After a while, he heard three crisp bells, and the court ladies and eunuchs knelt down again. On the ground. Two maids helped the man wearing the high crown up from the long couch, and walked slowly towards the secret door. The court ladies and eunuchs also stood up one after another. The palace maids were divided into nine teams, followed behind the person wearing the high crown and the two palace maids who supported her, and went straight into the secret door. After the three disappeared, the hall became taller in an instant, and only kneeling in the dark hall remained. The court lady in front of the door, the woman in gorgeous clothes standing in front of the secret door, and Bao Xi who bowed and waited.

"When Bao Xi saw the person wearing the high crown leave the hall, the invisible pressure on his body disappeared in an instant. He took a deep breath, and quietly moved his stiff arms. At this moment, only the woman in Chinese clothes said with a smile, Patriarch I wasted a lot of talking with the two old guys today, I was exhausted, I had to go back to rest and recover, I didn't have time to talk to Mr. Bao in detail. Mr. Bao has already stayed here for a long time, if he delays any longer, the cold air will invade his lungs , it is extremely unfavorable to the husband, so I have to ask the husband to go back first. If there is a chance in the future, the Patriarch will talk to the husband again.

"Bao Xi originally thought that after being interviewed by the man wearing the high crown, he would be able to help him step into an official career. Hearing what the woman in the huafu said, he was greatly disappointed. So after the woman in the huafu finished speaking, Bao Xi expressed his disappointment and even thanked him. Forgot to say anything. Seeing his dejected expression, the woman in Huafu guessed his thoughts, smiled slightly, and continued, "Although the Patriarch did not speak to Mr. Bao, the Patriarch has already remembered Mr. Bao's efforts to refute and persuade foolish people tonight." , will be rewarded in the future.

"Bao Xi was puzzled when he heard the woman in the Chinese dress, and was about to ask, when the woman in the Chinese dress waved her right hand lightly, and the palace maid who was quietly waiting beside her hurried to the long couch, and took out two cups from the left side of the long couch. A brocade box, walked back quickly, and stopped beside the woman in Chinese clothes. The woman in Chinese clothes took a brocade box from the hand of the maid, put it on the long table, carefully opened the lid, and took out a stick from the box. The snow-white and transparent jade scale was gently placed on the long table."

When everyone heard the old man in gray say this, they were all startled, thinking to themselves that the old man in gray had been rambling on for a long time, and finally got to the point.I just don't know if the jade scale he mentioned is the jade scale on the counter.

When everyone was thinking about it, they heard the old man in gray go on to say: "The lady in Chinese clothes put away the jade scale, and then she said that this scale is a treasure that the Patriarch got in Chang'an, and it can be used to weigh talented people in the world. If you donate it to Mr. Xie, you can guarantee that Mr. Bao will be the governor of a state. It’s just that yesterday Lanling Gaoshi Xie fluke paid tribute to the owner of the Molan, and the owner couldn’t put it down and promised to give the jade scale to Mr. Xie. Mr. Bao left Liangzhou to find another place to live, but he didn't have much money, so he gave him 50 taels of silver as a token of gratitude.

"After the woman in the Chinese dress finished speaking, she pointed to the box held in the hand of the palace lady with her right hand, indicating that 50 taels of silver was in the box. Bao Xi listened to the woman in the Chinese dress, although he could hear every word in his ears, he couldn't help it. I know what the woman in the Chinese dress meant. It’s just that when he was about to ask, the woman in the Chinese dress rushed to say that it’s getting late, if I delay for a while until the sun rises, I’m afraid Mr. Go back, but can't go back.

"Bao Xi listened to the woman in the dress, and the more he listened, the more confused he became. He just wanted to ask, but he didn't know where to start. When he was hesitating, he only heard the woman in the dress continue to say, "Mr. He is a sage. Although there is a little difficulty at the moment, it is only a few feet away from the stream, which can be crossed in one leap. I hope that after the husband develops, he will not forget what happened tonight, and if he speaks upright in the future, he will be rewarded with good fortune.

"After the woman in the Chinese dress finished speaking, she bowed to Bao Xi and saluted Bao Xi. Bao Xi hurriedly bowed his hands and returned the gift, feeling quite disappointed. The woman in the Chinese dress greeted him a few more words, and then she took the palace maid and sent Bao Xi out The main hall. I saw eight women in white clothes holding palace lanterns, waiting outside the door respectfully. When they saw the women in Chinese clothes and others coming out, they all bowed to salute. The women in Chinese clothes said in a deep voice, you send Mr. Bao back , You must wait carefully on the way, and don't neglect.

"The eight white-clothed women agreed in unison, then guarded Bao Xi in the center, and led him away from the main hall. Bao Xi thought as he walked, that this trip has yielded nothing, which is really frustrating. Originally, he thought that after meeting the owner of this house, he would be able to Help me go straight to the top and step into the official career, and I can stand tall in front of Leng Lin. Unexpectedly, although I saw the owner of the house, I didn't even say a word, and then retreated in a daze. Look at the clothes of the owner I thought he was a vassal prince, but I didn't expect him to be a cheapskate, who is not kind to others, and is not kind to others!
"The more Bao Xi thought about it, the more depressed he became. He felt that his legs were so weak and his walking was quite heavy. He glanced forward inadvertently, his heart trembled, and he thought to himself that I remember that there were helmets all over the open space in front of the hall just now. Sergeant A, why is there no one in front of his eyes?
"Thinking of this, Bao Xi couldn't help but stop, turned his head and looked around, only to find that not only the sergeant was gone, but even the main hall didn't know where it was. Surrounded by a silent wilderness, there was no life at all. Bao Xi saw In this situation, he was shocked and his teeth collided with each other, making a strange sound of clicking.

"Eight women in white clothes carried palace lanterns and escorted Bao Xi to walk. When they saw Bao Xi stop, they stopped too. The woman in white clothes at the head said respectfully, Mr. Bao, we haven't arrived yet, sir. Where, sir, why do you stop moving forward?
"Bao Xi trembled and said, I, I remember that I didn't walk here when I came, why, why did I come here in a daze when I left?!
"The woman in white smiled slightly after hearing what Bao Xi had said, and said, Mr. Bao, don't be afraid, and let the servants explain the details. Just now, when Zhaoyi invited Mr. Bao, please sit in the carriage. Walk along the main road. The slaves and servants are escorting the gentleman back, taking a shortcut, which is different from the way he came from, so the gentleman will not know the way, but it is not unusual, please don't worry, sir."
