Ninefold above

Before night fell, the entire west side fell into a glowing sky, and the sky was full of fire and clouds, and the whole sky in the south was dyed red. It was already spring, and the people no longer needed to wrap up in thick clothes, and the market was bustling.

The two of them had been driving for more than three hours, and they were already hungry. Lu Chengfeng pointed to a dilapidated shop not far away. The signboard of Laowang Jiuniang Yuanzi was prominently erected: "I heard them mention that the shop in front The fermented glutinous rice balls sold are very delicious, I will take you to try them."

Xie Jiuxiao nodded and said, "Yanjing also has a time-honored brand. I always go there once or twice a month. Later, the small kitchen learned how to do it. That's all."

Lu Chengfeng touched the money bag subconsciously, but he couldn't find it after a couple of touches. Then he remembered that he didn't bring any money, so he asked, "Do you have any money with you?"

Xie Jiuxiao took it for granted: "I am practicing calligraphy in the mansion, what do I bring money with me?"

The two looked at each other, Lu Chengfeng sighed: "I didn't bring it either."

Xie Jiuxiao laughed: "What's the matter? If you go to eat with empty hands, will you be kicked out by the store?"

Lu Chengfeng rubbed his chin, meditated for a moment, and said, "It costs money to eat and stay in a hotel...I'll borrow some from my acquaintances first."

The two walked back, Xie Jiuxiao said: "Sister, do you know anyone here in the west?"

Lu Chengfeng smiled calmly: "Yes, of course! There are acquaintances everywhere."

Hearing her tone, Xie Jiuxiao asked suspiciously: "Isn't your acquaintance also like the Ji family?"

Lu Chengfeng choked for a moment, and said, "It's not like..."

Xie Jiuxiao looked suspiciously.

Lu Chengfeng touched the tip of his nose uncomfortably, and was a little vague. Xie Jiuxiao had a bad feeling: "It seems that this acquaintance is really similar to the Ji family, so what's going on?"

Lu Chengfeng thought about his words, and said, "Miss Jiang's family hasn't married yet in her [-]s, probably because of me."

Xie Jiuxiao was even more puzzled: "What does it have to do with you if she doesn't get married?"

Lu Chengfeng glanced wildly, coughed lightly, and said, "I once accidentally kicked her into the latrine, and she struggled carelessly in it... um... swallowed a few mouthfuls... um... when I fished it out, she was still alive. It was surrounded by many people."

This matter was spread from ten to ten, and the face of Miss Jiang's family disappeared completely. When it was said that all relatives shook their heads. , has been dragged until now.

Xie Jiuxiao's complexion was slightly distorted. He imagined the scene and mourned the poor Miss Jiang in his heart. Then he couldn't believe it: "So the acquaintance you mentioned is the Jiang family? Do you really think that the Jiang family will lend you silver taels?"

Lu Chengfeng said: "Borrow it, I won't go back on debt after getting to know each other for a hundred and eighty taels."

Where does the confidence come from?Xie Jiuxiao didn't know whether to laugh or cry. Now he really realized that what Lu Chengfeng said was not a lie. Judging from the current situation, the sons and daughters of the five major families in Subei really ran away when they saw her. How capable was this person when he was young? To cause trouble, to actually offend the five great families over and over again.

The two walked through the market, the sunset was breezy, and although the night was approaching, the excitement remained unabated.

Xie Jiuxiao stopped and said, "Don't worry if you don't get the money by then, maybe you will be chased all over the city..."

He looked at the street stall and said, "I'll come up with a solution."

After all, he walked towards the crowd.

It was a stall with pottery, and the owner of the stall was a young man in his 20s, with a prominent account hanging on it, with a few large characters written on it: One tael for ten taels.

When the young man saw Xie Jiuxiao approaching, he immediately smiled and said, "Young master, do you want to play?"

Xie Jiuxiao squatted down and said, "How do you play?"

There were two or three people scattered in front of the stall, and they seemed a little unwilling and gloating: "Here comes another one who wants to earn ten taels of silver..."

The stall owner Fan Erdui smiled: "Simple, look here I have a bottle, the mouth of which is smaller than an egg, here are a few peeled eggs, if you can put the eggs intact In this bottle, I will give you ten taels of silver right away, but if you can’t do it, you need to give me one tael of silver, how about a good deal?”

Lu Chengfeng squatted down, she was obviously more curious about other things than the gambling booth: "Where did you get this bottle? Subei has never seen this kind of bottle."

Fan Er immediately boasted: "Hey, this bottle of mine is a treasure. I bought it after a lot of hard work. This bottle is called a glass bottle. Its body is as transparent as water. It's something from Hu's side."

Lu Chengfeng looked at it curiously, and said: "The mouth of your bottle is so small, if you force an egg into it, it will definitely break. You've clearly cheated—"

However, Xie Jiuxiao picked up an egg and tried it on the mouth of the bottle. The mouth of the bottle just caught a small part of the egg, and he meditated silently.

Someone on the side persuaded: "Young master, he is just cheating money. Both of us brothers have been cheated. I kindly remind you."

Fan Er said like chasing flies: "Go and go! I hope you will lose the bet and stop talking about it here. Can you lose if you two don't covet my ten taels of silver?"

Lu Chengfeng looked sideways at Xie Jiuxiao, seeing his eager expression: "Do you want to play?"

Xie Jiuxiao said, "En."

Lu Chengfeng was in a bit of a dilemma. If he had to play whatever he wanted on weekdays, he could play however he wanted, but right now the two of them didn't have a penny. While hesitating secretly, Xie Jiuxiao took out a piece of white jade from his arms and said, "I'll use this to fight with you." Bet, if I win, you have to return the jade and ten taels of silver to me, if I lose the jade to you, how about it?"

Fan Er hesitated to take the jade, and other people came up to him and looked at it for a moment: "Yo Fan Er, you are going to get rich, the high-quality white jade is extremely valuable!"

Fan Er didn't understand jade, but saw that the jade was shiny and moist, and it must be worth a few taels of silver, so he said immediately: "It is also possible."

Lu Chengfeng frowned as he took the jade pendant away, lowered his head to see Xie Jiuxiao's movements, and was already thinking about how to redeem the jade pendant if he lost for a while.

Xie Jiuxiao smiled slightly and said, "Can I have a cup of hot water?"

He was good-looking in the first place, so he smiled so deliberately that he shook the eyes of others, and the peddler at the other side of the stall immediately found him a cup of hot water, and did not leave after giving it, just gathered around and watched.

Xie Jiuxiao put the glass bottle in front of him, poured hot water into it, the hot air immediately smoked a layer of mist around the bottle, he shook it vigorously, poured out the water and put the egg on the mouth of the bottle.

Everyone was full of doubts, Lu Chengfeng looked at the egg that was still tightly stuck, and said in a low voice: "This..."

Suddenly someone screamed: "Hey, hey, it's moving! It's moving!"

Lu Chengfeng's attention was drawn back, and he stared at the bottle. Not only her, but the rest of the people, including Fan Er, couldn't help but get nervous. The second is that he is very proud of making a lot of money. If this is true, he will not dare to continue this trick.

Gradually, the egg slowly squeezed into the bottle as if being pulled by something, bit by bit, it fell into it with a plop.

"My motherfucking Fan Er is really not cheating! This egg can actually be put in!"

Everyone whispered.

Xie Jiuxiao stretched out his hand to others: "I still have ten taels of silver for my jade."

Fan Er was dumbfounded and extremely reluctant, but so many people watched. Xie Jiuxiao did it, so he reluctantly gave him the jade and the silver. Xie Jiuxiao put the jade away, stood up, and shook the treasure in his hand. Broken Silver: "Sister, look at the silver."

Lu Chengfeng couldn't help laughing, the two of them were about to leave, just took two steps, Fan Er suddenly shouted: "Wait!"

As soon as he drank, everyone thought he was about to repent, and they couldn't help but ridicule: "Yo Fan Er, why do you still want to go back on your word?"

"Brothers are watching here, if you dare to go back on your word today, we will smash your stall!"

Fan Er was a little annoyed by what was said, and he gritted his teeth and said: "Young master, if you can take out the egg intact, I will give you another ten taels! If not, your jade and the ten taels of silver just now belong to you." Me! How dare you bet?"

Xie Jiuxiao shook his head: "My jade pendant is worth thousands of gold, so it's not worth betting ten taels with you."

Others ridiculed him again, mocking him for thinking beautifully.

Fan Er hesitated for a moment, gritted his teeth and said, "100 taels!"

Xie Jiuxiao looked at him strangely, and chuckled lightly: "Okay, I'll bet with you."

Fan Er's heart relaxed, he shook the glass bottle in his hand, the egg rolled in it a few times and blocked the mouth of the bottle tightly, Xie Jiuxiao took his time and asked for hot water for help, staring at Fan Er Smiling, he shook the egg vertically to the mouth of the bottle and turned it upside down, then poured the glass of water on it, but after a while, the egg slowly stuck out again.

Everyone cheered and applauded. Unexpectedly, this problem that stumped many people was easily solved with two cups of hot water.

Fan Er's face turned pale, and he stared blankly at the person, as if he still couldn't believe that he lost again so easily.

Xie Jiuxiao was in a surprisingly good mood today. He smiled and opened his hands and said, "100 taels."

Lu Chengfeng was overjoyed watching from the sidelines. Today, this stall can be regarded as falling into Xie Jiuxiao's hands.

Xie Jiuxiao walked back to her side, gave all the ingots of silver to Lu Chengfeng, and said, "That's it, we don't need to go to Zhao Jiang's house, we have enough money for food and lodging."

Lu Chengfeng saw that his eyes were shining brightly, and the stars in the sky were even a bit inferior to them, his heart moved slightly, and he said, "Well, my Jiuxiao is really powerful."

After eating Jiuniang Yuanzi, Lu Chengfeng also bought him a bunch of candied haws to eat and play with. The two of them were planning their trip tomorrow, while looking for a hotel to stay. Er shouted loudly: "Brother is the two of them!"

Lu Chengfeng raised his eyebrows: "You can't afford it?"

Relying on his large number of people, Fan Er boldly said: "Stop talking nonsense! Hand over the money quickly!"

Xie Jiuxiao was biting a gourd covered in frosting sugar, and now he had learned from the past, he hurriedly hid behind Lu Chengfeng, but Lu Chengfeng didn't say anything nonsense, just beat them up in twos and called them parents, Then he took Xie Jiuxiao to find the inn.
