The Legend of Immortal Court

Chapter 124 Do You Need To Be Cruel To Save Money?
Inside the Su Family Hall.

The voice is silent.

The atmosphere is stagnant.

"Lieyuan Huomu..."

After a while, I heard the old Patriarch of the Su family murmur: "The old man must first find out this thing before he can give you an answer."

Su Ting nodded and said, "As expected, I'm not in a hurry."

There is also the human-shaped Polygonum multiflorum, which can suppress the cold air. For the time being, it is really not urgent.

In fact, the human-shaped Polygonum multiflorum not only suppresses the cold, but also continuously improves the physical fitness of the cousin, which is much better than Lieyuan Huomu.

It's just that this human-shaped Polygonum multiflorum is too precious, and there are not many left now, and there will always be a time when it runs out.

In the future, when the cold air breaks out, Lieyuan fire and wood will be needed.

But as long as Lieyuan Huomu can be obtained before the human-shaped Polygonum multiflorum is used up, it will be fine.

"The matter of Lieyuan Huomu, after the old man finds out, he will consider it. However, you should let the old man take a look at what the jade plaques handed down by the Su family look like."

"It's natural."

Su Ting took the jade box from his bosom, handed it over, and said: "This jade box is made by the ancestor of the Su family, a skilled craftsman, with six-faced jade plaques."

The chief steward hurried forward, took the jade box, and presented it to the old Patriarch.

The old Patriarch took it solemnly, stroked it with his hand, his expression changed, after a while, he let out a breath, and said: "The six-sided traces of this jade box are indeed the same as the six-sided jade plaque patterns recorded. "

At this time, a clan elder couldn't help being puzzled, and said: "Patriarch, what is this jade plaque? Why is the amount of silver taels actually counted as a 'car'?"

The old Patriarch glanced at him, then at Su Ting, knowing that Su Ting probably knew a little bit, so he didn't hide it, but said: "Our Su family ancestors, there was a rumor that the eight jade plaques in the family have been lost. Six faces, if you can find the other six faces, it will be a big secret, because of this, it has caused a lot of trouble in the Su clan."

After a pause, he waved his hand slightly and said, "What secret is involved, I will tell you in detail afterward."

After saying that, he held the jade box, a little fondly of it, but looked at Su Ting for a few more times, and fell silent.

Su Ting saw his thoughts, but he didn't take it seriously, he just smiled and said: "The old Patriarch loves this jade tablet so much, but he is not willing to let me take it away again?"

The face of the old Patriarch changed slightly, and then he said slowly: "This old man is not a person who robs and plunders by force. I will not keep this jade box by force if I have not reached a deal with you."

Su Ting spread his hands slightly, and said: "It doesn't matter, if the old Patriarch is really reluctant, the jade box will be temporarily sent to the old Patriarch. I will stay in Kanling and wait for Lie Yuan to bring the fire and wood."

Having said that, everyone showed strange colors.

Su Yue stretched out her hand slightly, and tugged at his sleeve.

How can there be such a business?

It is said that paying with one hand, delivery with one hand, and fair trade, but at this time the money has not yet been received, but the goods have been given first, so are you not afraid that people will not accept the account?

"You're pretty cool."

The old Patriarch of the Su family raised his eyebrows and said, "Aren't you afraid that the old man will reject you next time if I accept the jade token?"

Su Ting smiled, waved his hands and said, "Whether you admit it or not, it's up to you, old man."

He was full of smiles, his tone was flat, and his demeanor was leisurely.

But for some reason, the old Patriarch, who had seen countless worlds, suddenly shuddered in his heart.

Su Yue's heart tightened a little. She knew in her heart that with Su Ting's ability, she would not be afraid of losing money, but if things go well, that would be the best. If there are more troubles and more murders, it is definitely not a good thing.

"Okay, the jade plaque is with you."

Su Ting said: "These days my brother and I live in Kanling. With the ability of the Su family, it is not difficult to know where we are staying. If Lieyuan Huomu considers it, you always agree, and let people Just look for me."

With that said, he turned around and held his cousin's hand, and was about to leave here.

Whether it was the old Patriarch of the Su family, the elders, or the steward, they couldn't help but feel astonished to see him being so straightforward, leaving the jade box behind, turning around and leaving.

"Wait a minute."

The old Patriarch suddenly spoke.

Su Ting stopped and said with a smile: "What else does the old Patriarch have to do? Could it be that for the sake of relatives, he wants to entertain him?"

The old Patriarch pondered for a while, and said: "My Su family's mansion is very big, and it is also empty if it is empty. If you don't dislike it, you can stay and live there. When you have a decision, it will be easy to tell you."

Su Yue frowns with an unnatural expression, and tugs on La Suting's sleeve.

Su Ting patted the back of her hand to express his reassurance, then looked at the old Patriarch, and said, "I don't like living under the fence."

The old Patriarch said: "They are all members of the Su Clan, this is also your ancestral land, so there is no such thing as being dependent on others... Are you afraid?"

"What can I be afraid of?"

Su Ting smiled and said: "Forget it, just treat it as your own home, and save me a lot of money for accommodation."

The old Patriarch nodded slightly, and said: "In that case, let me, the big manager, take you to choose a place to live. The so-called Lieyuan Huomu, I will tell you when the old man understands and makes a decision."

Su Ting nodded and said, "There is nothing you can do."

The chief steward came forward, slightly stretched out his hand, and said, "Both of you, please..."

Su Ting nodded, took his cousin by the hand, and left with the chief steward.

……

It's quiet here.

The old Patriarch of the Su family pondered: "Eight-faced jade tablet, it's hard to say clearly for a while, after dinner, you follow me to the ancestral hall, there is a classic book there, it will be easier to explain clearly."

The elders of the clan nodded their heads, and they were quite puzzled.

Items of jade quality are of course valuable, but in exchange for a jade badge, the silver tael must be calculated in terms of "cars", which is not the value of the jade badge itself.

They also want to know what mystery is hidden behind the jade tablet, and they are also entitled to know.

"I'll talk about the jade token after dinner, but that boy..."

The clan elder, who was over sixty years old, murmured: "Tonight?"

The old Patriarch frowned and said, "When did I ever say that I wanted to get rid of him?"

The elder of the clan said in astonishment: "Could it be that the patriarch forced him to stay, not for the convenience of doing things and saving a huge fortune?"

He was stunned, other clan elders also had similar expressions.

Earlier when they heard that the Patriarch forcibly left the boy behind, they looked at each other and felt that the Patriarch acted decisively.

Now it sounds like there is some misunderstanding?
"If I really want to save this sum of money, I just asked the chief steward to lead someone to capture him, so why keep him?"

The old Patriarch said slowly: "Outsiders, come to the Su family, if you really want to silence him and bury him, it won't be too much trouble."

Several clan elders looked at each other with doubts.

"Then what is the meaning of the Patriarch keeping him?"

"Observe."

"Observed?"

"That's right." The old Patriarch of the Su family pondered for a while, and said, "What this young man showed in front of me and other old things is something that all the younger generations of the Su family can't achieve."

Several clan elders didn't quite understand what the old Patriarch meant.

But they heard the meaning of the old Patriarch not being cruel.

"Is the Patriarch really going to honor what this young man asked for?"

A clan elder asked.

The old Patriarch didn't speak, just thinking.

From what the young man said, that kind of fire and wood is more precious than a cart of silver.

A carload of silver taels is a huge fortune in any family, and if it is really going to be handed over, it is tantamount to gouging out a piece of meat cruelly.

"Why bother?"

Shicai's clan elder persuaded: "A young man or a young girl is single and weak, as long as he is more ruthless, this money will be saved."
