Settled in Qixia Town, started with Qingwen

Chapter 51

According to the stall owner's description, Li Xin instantly thought of a character.

But there are too few clues, and the possibility of misinterpretation is high.

So he asked, "What does that female ghost look like, is she pretty?"

As soon as these words came out, Bai Zhantang and the stall owner looked at him at the same time, with some kind of scrutiny in their eyes.

"Hey, I'm just curious, and I definitely don't have any special hobbies in that area."

Li Xin quickly explained.

"The female ghost was so fast, it flashed by suddenly, and it was at night, how could I see it clearly? I was scared to death at that time, who would have the mood to pay attention to whether the female ghost is beautiful or not."

The stall owner said, but didn't completely put away the scrutiny in his eyes.

"Brother Li, you are old and young. It's time to find a wife. I'll talk to the shopkeeper when I go back. Let her help you pay attention and find someone with the right family."

"It's really not possible. Don't you know Mrs. Cai? She specializes in matchmaking for people. She has a good network, and she can lead people from low to high."

Bai Zhantang seems to have completely misunderstood.

"No need, I'm not in a hurry."

Li Xin was ashamed and refused.

"Are you in a hurry, let's look for it first and then talk about it. There is no loss in taking the time to have a blind date, lest you have to think wildly about a female ghost."

Bai Zhantang patted Li Xin on the shoulder and said solemnly.

Li Xin was speechless and didn't explain much.

The more you talk, the more likely you will be misunderstood. It is better to shut up.

As for blind dates and matchmaking, there will always be excuses to shirk.

After finishing the topic, Bai Zhantang began to bargain with the stall owner again.

In the end, it was lowered to 60 taels of silver, but it couldn't be lowered anymore.

Bai Zhantang still couldn't afford it.

It's far from enough to take out all his net worth.

"Brother Bai, how about I lend you some first?"

Li Xin.

"No, I can't afford to borrow it, so let's forget it."

Bai Zhantang shook his head, got up from the position where he had been squatting in front of the booth, kicked his legs and he was fine.

If it were Li Xin, his legs would be completely numb, and he would fall when he stood up.

"Then what should we do? Aren't you going to bring a gift to shopkeeper Tong? Or buy something cheaper?"

Li Xin suggested.

"That's right, I think so too. Buying real things for the shopkeeper, she doesn't know how to appreciate them anyway, so it's better to just pick a fake one to fool her and finish the job."

Bai Zhantang smiled, and found a reason for himself not to spend money.

Li Xin thought about it, and Tong Xiangyu really didn't know how to do it, and he couldn't tell the authenticity of all kinds of jewelry and jewelry.

No one else in the inn understood either.

As long as Bai Zhantang doesn't reveal himself, it is indeed possible to fool him.

So, the two first went back to a certain two stalls that they had written down before, and bought the cheat books of "Mandarin Duck Legs" and "Lying Knife on the Ground", and they all verified that they were correct.

After strolling casually for a while, Bai Zhantang picked out a fake antique hairpin, and after haggling over the price, he bought it for eight pennies.

"Come on, it's about time to go back. If you walk faster, you can still catch up with dinner."

After shopping, even though it was still early, Baizhantang didn't want to go shopping any more.

Li Xin naturally agreed.

Although there is a gap with the original goal, he has returned with a full load.

Two cheat books are enough for him to practice for a long time.

……

As Bai Zhantang expected, when the two returned to Qixia Town, it was almost time for dinner.

Li Xin didn't go directly into the Tongfu Inn, but said to pick up Qingwen, came to an empty alley alone, and called her out.

The master and the servant walked back to the inn together, and before they stepped through the door, they heard someone crying and howling.

"Mother ah ah ah!"

"Don't blame the boy, it's not that the boy is not filial, it's really powerless!"

"The last thing you left for my baby, my baby couldn't keep it, I'm sorry for you!"

When I heard the voice, it was Lu Xiucai.

He was at the counter, crying so hard that his voice was hoarse.

Perhaps because he couldn't stand the noise, there were not many guests in the inn.

Scattered people who are still sitting and eating are all familiar faces and regular customers, so this can only be tolerated.

"What's the matter? Who bullied the scholar?"

Li Xin asked after entering.

"Who else could it be! Xiao Guo cleverly took away the hairpin and took away the hairpin. He didn't cherish it properly, and sold it to the shopkeeper for money."

Bai Zhantang already understood what happened, stared at Guo Furong and said.

"It's, it's not that I want to exchange it for money. It's the scholar who forced me to ask for money. I don't have any money, so I have to sell the hairpin."

Guo Furong was uncomfortably stared at by him, so she forcefully defended herself.

"How dare you say that! Who told you not to pay back the money you owe? The scholar asked you to ask for a debt. Did you pay it off?"

Bai Zhantang's tone was very severe.

When Li Xin observed Lu Xiucai, he understood.

It turned out to be the same as in the original play, his front teeth were knocked out.

No need to guess, it must be Guo Furong who made the move.

No wonder Bai Zhantang was angry.

Guo Furong's arms were not ready yet, so she relied on her martial arts skills to do something wrong.

The most important thing is to bully his own people, which makes him uncomfortable.

"Isn't it just two dollars? As for chasing me for it? I can't understand it, and I thought he was trying to please me. The hairpin also thought he gave it to me. Yes, I don't know if I misunderstood."

Guo Furong was also wronged.

She had indeed forgotten about borrowing money.

Lu Xiucai talked to her frequently, reminding her explicitly and secretly, wanting her to recall this incident.

Later, when she found out the truth, she became a little angry from embarrassment, and she used more strength during the entanglement, and accidentally knocked out the scholar's front teeth.

Of course, in the back of her mind, she thought that the other party fell in love with her, but she didn't know that she was here to ask for a debt.

If the contrast is too strong, I feel that my charm as a woman has been insulted, which leads to anger from embarrassment.

"Isn't it just two dollars? To put it bluntly, this is a month's wages! By the way, what did you borrow the money for?"

Bai Zhantang hadn't thoroughly investigated the source yet.

"It's the registration fee for sister Guo to participate in the martial arts competition to recruit relatives."

Mo Xiaobei interjected.

The two lived in the same room, and Guo Furong didn't hide it from her when she did that thing.

Yang Huilan was so diligent in recruiting relatives in the martial arts competition, not only to find a man, but also to make money.

Anyone who goes up must pay two yuan for the registration fee.

"Yang Huilan's martial arts contest to recruit relatives? You, you...!"

Bai Zhantang can be considered to have found the root of the disaster last time.

He was completely convinced by Guo Furong's ability to cause trouble.

It is still a series and coherence.

"Mother ah ah ah!"

The scholar was still crying and howling, even louder.

"Grandma can't take it anymore! Give me back the hairpin!"

Guo Furong said to Tong Xiangyu.

"Why, I paid for this."

Tong Xiangyu said while keeping accounts.

The scholar howled for a while, so she had to do the bookkeeping.

"You can sell it back to me!"

"If you don't sell it, where can you buy such a good and cheap jewelry?"

"Hey, let's make a price!"

"Twelve!"

"You might as well grab it!"

……

Everyone watched them bargain, and finally Guo Furong compromised and owed Tong Xiangyu five taels of silver.

"Grandma spent money to buy a quiet place, and I will return this broken hairpin to you!"

Taking back the hairpin, Guo Furong threw it to Lu Xiucai.

The latter happily accepted.

Things come to an end.
