Although Baihua City is wonderful in every way, a passer-by is still a passer-by. After seeing all the prosperity, he smiled, packed his bags and set off on a new journey.
Xia Chuyi still likes to sit on the top of the carriage. She feels that she can open her arms and embrace the sky, which makes her feel as free as a carefree bird.
The afterglow of the setting sun fell, and the orange light shrouded everything, dragging the shadows of the people who were getting further away, long, long...
After traveling all night, the group finally arrived outside Jincheng early the next morning.
Although he already knew that Jincheng was wealthy, Xia Chuyi couldn't help but tremble all over, but he could still see the two dazzling golden characters "Jincheng" on the city gate from a distance.
This Jincheng has glazed gold tiles, blue bricks and red doors. It just looks very noble, comparable to the imperial capital of Yancheng. No, maybe it is even more luxurious and noble.
Thinking of the time when he met Jin Yuanbao before, his bold style of throwing gold at everyone he met, and his heroic spirit of being able to take out countless golden spiritual weapons at will, Xia Chuyi seemed to be able to imagine the luxury of his home.
.
Unable to help but swallow secretly, she jumped down lightly, sat next to Ying Yi who was driving the car, and said in a low voice: "Ying Yi, you haven't answered the question I asked you before, your family
Young Master, do you have a crush? For example, an engaged fiancée or something."
"Engaged fiancée!" Yingyi couldn't help but raise his tone, and was about to say it, but when he saw the two dark looks behind him, he immediately curled his lips and chuckled, "Miss Xia
If you want to know, just go to the city lord's mansion and have a look."
This sentence made Xia Chu's heart itch for a while, and he began to fantasize about how Jin Yuanbao would look like.
However, Jin Yuanbao suddenly said in the carriage: "The City Lord's Mansion may be a little inconvenient. Everyone should live in my other courtyard."
"No, Yuanbao!"
Xia Chuyi immediately turned his head, blinking his eyes, begging and silently protesting, looking at Jin Yuanbao pitifully.
In the past, as long as she behaved coquettishly and acted rogue, Jin Yuanbao would have nothing to do with her.
But at this moment, he shook his head decisively and said in an unquestionable tone: "Either stay in an inn or stay in another hospital."
Xia Chuyi was about to argue, but she heard his gentle tone again and smiled at her: "I have a few colorful birds in my courtyard with seven colors of feathers. Don't you want to see them on the first day of the year?
"
"think!"
Xia Chuyi blurted it out without even thinking.
Seeing the relieved look on Jin Yuanbao's face, she immediately said seriously: "But I want to see what the City Lord's Mansion looks like. Are there wolves, tigers and leopards in it? Yuanbao is so afraid of me going there."
Before Jin Yuanbao had time to explain, he saw Yingyi next to him touching his nose and saying angrily: "Not only that, it's simply scarier than jackals, tigers, and leopards."
"Shadow One!"
"Yes, young master, what are your orders?"
"Get as far away from me as you can!"
"Hey? Hey!"
…
This was the first time Xia Chuyi saw Jin Yuanbao losing his temper, so he immediately shut his mouth and sat quietly and obediently in the carriage.
Shadow 1 really rolled away, and Shadow 4 came to catch the car.
As soon as the group of people reached the city gate, they saw Ying Er and Ying San already standing waiting, waving to them repeatedly when they saw them coming.
Xia Chuyi responded to them calmly as if inspecting, and immediately let Ying Si drive the car into the city without stopping.
Ying 2 and 3 were immediately petrified beside them, and then trotted quickly to follow the convoy.
Jincheng is a famous shopping mall in Wujizhou. It is lined with various shops and the variety of products is dazzling.
And because it is a shopping mall, even if Jin Yuanbao is the young city lord, he cannot drive the carriage directly on the street. As soon as they entered the city gate, Ying Er and Ying San immediately directed people to unload the carriage.
, ask someone to send the things back first.
As for Xia Chuyi and his group who are new here, they definitely want to have a good stroll and enjoy the scenery of Jincheng.
Feng Luo changed back to his previous all-black outfit, and even his forehead and neck were tightly wrapped.
And Xia Chuyi was not used to wearing women's clothes, so she finally took the crescent white dress and pressed it on the bottom of the box, while she was still wearing an ordinary tight-fitting black dress.
The only difference is probably that she kept the jade bracelet and inserted it into the high bun of her hair.
Not to mention, the other people felt varying degrees of regret in their hearts when they saw the two of them restored to their original appearance.
Feng Luo wears women's clothes to look good, and Xia Chuyi wears women's clothes to show off her temperament. They have fully proved to the world what "Buddha relies on gold and people rely on clothes".
It's a pity that these two people have no intention of wearing women's clothes again. When Jin Yuanbao, several shadows, and even Chang Huan glance at the dazzling array of beautiful dresses next to them, they will subconsciously raise their eyes to look at Xia Chuyi
.
But when he came into sight, he saw a tomboy with a fruit in his mouth, and he was jumping on the spot because of the heat.
The sense of frustration in everyone's hearts immediately hit them so hard that they really had no intention of watching anything else.
On the contrary, Xia Chuyi looked and touched here and there, looking very fresh, and never stopped opening his mouth.
Several shadows followed behind her, secretly discussing where she had gone after eating so much food.
"Hey, how pitiful..."
"You're pretty good-looking, how did you end up like this?"
"Hey, let me tell you, there is a kiln in front of you. With your appearance, it doesn't matter how much you sell it for. Why do you need to sell yourself here?"
…
Xia Chuyi was on a shopping trip in high spirits when he was immediately attracted by the large group of people and chatter in front of him. He quickly took advantage of his small size and began to squeeze his way into the crowd.
Ying San looked at her from behind and said, "Young Master, please take care of Miss Xia. Why does she have to get involved in everything?"
Jin Yuanbao would not care about her. Even if she was going to do something bad, he would run to help her.
"Let's go and have a look too."
The group of people didn't have the momentum of Xia Chuyi. They rushed for a long time before reaching the halfway point. But Xia Chuyi had already squeezed into the innermost part and was accidentally pushed by a troublesome person behind him.
Pushed her down.
With a sudden inertia, she closed her eyes and without much care, she bumped directly into the arms of the person in front of her. Suddenly, she was surrounded by a warm breath.
"Phew, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, girl, I didn't mean it!"
Xia Chuyi stood up quickly, looked at the white and slender hands holding her, and spoke directly without thinking.
However, as soon as she finished saying this, she heard everyone around her burst into laughter.
Before she could figure out what was going on, she heard a voice in front of her, as clear as a spring: "Girl, do you want to buy me?"
Xia Chu suddenly felt as if his whole body had been shocked by electricity, and his head went blank. It took him a long time to react.
What did she just hear?
The man asked her to buy him?
No, no, no, that's not the point. The point is - the "girl" she just called clearly sounded like a man!
As soon as Xia Chu stood firm, he raised his head and took a closer look, and saw a man in his twenties half-kneeling in front of him. He had clear eyebrows, a tall and straight posture, and a handsome profile.
The faint rendering of sunlight outlines the tough facial lines into a silver line.
His flowing black hair is tied up with a blue ribbon, and his pair of peach blossom eyes are full of elegance. At first glance, his thin lips look a bit like pear blossoms. He is a rare and beautiful man!
At this moment, he was looking at her with a look of spring water, his pear-shaped thin lips opened slightly, and he said in a melodious voice: "Girl, are you willing to buy me?"
Xia Chuyi suddenly came to her senses at this moment, thinking that she had actually encountered the legendary man who sold himself to bury his father, and it was a man who sold himself to others!
Just when she was about to boldly throw down a piece of gold and walk away, leaving everyone with a handsome back, hiding her merit and fame, her eyes suddenly fell on the thing covered with white cloth in front of the man.
"Why so small?"
A small square of white cloth was covered with something whose shape could not be seen clearly. There was also a spiritual tablet next to it, with the words "Spiritual Table of Prosperous Wealth" written on it.
Prosperous wealth?
Why does it sound so much like a dog's name?
Xia Chuyi swallowed the words he was about to speak immediately, then raised his chin with one hand and looked doubtfully at the man in green shirt in front of him.
Although the material of the cyan gown is not considered upper-class, it is definitely not something that ordinary people can afford.
This face is enchanting and charming, even if it is not as good as Takikoshi's, but in this world, he is definitely considered to be a man with an upper class face.
He has an elegant manner, an extraordinary conversation, and a pair of green-white and warm jade hands. At first glance, he looks like someone who has never done any heavy work.
To sum up, it is impossible for the person in front of me to be reduced to the point where he has to sell himself.
The palm in Xia Chu's sleeve gathered strength and waved downwards.
The white cloth covering it was immediately shaken by the force, revealing a large yellow and black dog corpse inside.
She was suddenly startled.
That Wangcai is really a dog!
Most of them are weak women who sell their bodies to bury their fathers, but he is a handsome man who sells his body to bury his dog!
When did a dog’s treatment become so good?
As soon as Xia Chu saw the man in the green gown staring straight at her without looking at anyone else, he felt something was wrong and immediately took two steps back and prepared to run away.
However, as soon as he took a step forward, he heard an angry voice coming from the side: "Hey, young master, come here and take a look. This young master looks like a fairy."
Xia Chu turned his head to one side and saw two rows of servants clearing the way, and a fat man slowly walked out from the middle.
The eyes were squeezed into slits by the fat, and the flesh on the chin was piled up to the collarbone, but he still walked slowly and slowly in front of everyone and looked at the man in green shirt.
"Hey, he is such a handsome boy. He is more beautiful than a girl. How much will he sell for?"
The big fat man took one look at the man in the blue shirt and couldn't move his eyes away. His slitted eyes immediately opened wider with all his strength, and he looked at the man in the blue shirt with a lecherous look.
The man in green shirt suddenly stood up, reached out and brushed the dust from the hem of his clothes, and said coldly: "I won't sell it for any money."
When the big fat man heard this, he immediately got angry: "Hey, if I'm willing to buy you, that's your blessing. Do you know who I am?"
As he said this, he was about to reach out and ask the servants behind him to take action. Xia Chuyi was hesitating whether to go to that trouble when he saw Jin Yuanbao standing out from the crowd.
"Second Young Master Li, you seem to be living a comfortable life during my absence. Looking at your body shape, are you getting fat again?"
He talked and laughed freely and just threw out a few sentences, mocking openly and implicitly, without any politeness.
Xia Chuyi stopped to watch the show, and saw that the fat man and the servants immediately stepped back several steps as soon as they heard Jin Yuanbao's voice, looking at the figure that suddenly appeared in front of them with some horror.
"Young Master...Young City Master...are you back?"
The big fat man stammered for a long time before he could say a word, which made everyone present frown.
The Li family servants who had dared to show off their power just now were like a mouse seeing a cat, not even daring to take a breath.
Xia Chuyi never thought that Jin Yuanbao, who was always smiling, could actually scare people like this. Later, when he thought about it, he could earn such a big family fortune in just a few years. If he didn't have any courage, it would definitely be...
It doesn’t work, so I’m not surprised.
"If I don't come back to remind Mr. Li, I'm afraid you will forget who is in charge of Jincheng, right?"
Jin Yuanbao's voice was neither high nor low, his tone was neither fast nor slow, and his attitude was neither soft nor hard, but it gave people a strong sense of oppression, making Xia Chuyi feel an invisible pressure rushing towards him.
The big fat man and his servants were all so frightened that their faces turned pale, their bodies were like chaff, their legs and feet were trembling, they were so frightened.
"Young City Master, I was just joking with him. I just wanted to give him some gold and do some good deeds..."
The big fat man still tried to quibble, but Jin Yuanbao took over the words slowly: "Is the Second Young Master Li so kind-hearted?"
"Don't take it seriously, don't take it seriously. My father often teaches us brothers that we should be on par with the Young City Lord..."
"Since Second Young Master Li wants to do good things, we all will naturally support him. Why don't we ask Second Young Master Li to prescribe medicine and give alms for a month to benefit the people of Jincheng."
As soon as Jin Yuanbao finished speaking, before the big fat man could react, he heard cheers and applause from all around, and he was not allowed to say any objection at all.
In the end, he lost his wife and lost his army. Not only did the fat man agree to prescribe medicine and give alms for a month, but he also had to pay the man in blue shirt for selling his body. In the end, he couldn't take him away...
All he could do was watch the man in green shirt follow Jin Yuanbao and slowly leave amid the cheers of the crowd.
Xia Chuyi clenched his fists on his chest, his eyes instantly turned into star eyes, and he looked at Jin Yuanbao with admiration: "Yuanbao, you are just so handsome."
Jin Yuanbao was able to be domineering and calm just now, but now when he heard Xia Chuyi praising him, he suddenly touched his head in embarrassment and said: "Chu Yi, don't say that."
The man in green shirt following closely behind them stared closely at the two people talking and laughing, his eyes slightly narrowed, and a half-smile appeared on the corner of his lips.
Feng Luo and Chang Huan glanced at him warily, almost subconsciously, but saw that there was nothing else on his face except the faint smile.
The group finally arrived at Jin Yuanbao's courtyard.
Although Xia Chuyi was disappointed, she understood Jin Yuanbao's difficulties and had no choice but to give up.
At worst, wait until later in the evening to stun Yuan Bao, and then call Chang Huanfeng Luo Yingyi and the others to visit the city lord's mansion at night.
Having made up her mind, Xia Chu became more and more attentive to Jin Yuanbao, as if she were a little maid who was always with him, greeting him anytime and anywhere.
Sometimes he was asked if he was thirsty, sometimes he was asked if he was tired, and sometimes he was asked if he was hot or not. Even Jin Yuanbao noticed something unusual.
However, when he opened his mouth to ask, Xia Chuyi shook his head and said that it was "love condolences" and had no other meaning, which made Jin Yuanbao feel horrified all over.
He knows better than anyone what kind of person Xia Chuyi is. She is always attentive to others and is either an adulterer or a thief. This little girl must be hiding something from him!
He didn't give a damn and called the housekeeper to arrange everyone, while he wanted to prepare and go back to meet the old man at home and the endless troubles in the backyard.
As for the man in blue shirt...
He smiled, lightly opened Lihua's thin lips, and said lightly: "Fan Luo, my name."
"Oh, Fan Luo." Jin Yuanbao glanced at him without trace, and then reached out to call the housekeeper: "Place him in the guest house in the north. I will come back later to discuss the rest."
The steward immediately accepted the order. Na Fanluo thanked Jin Yuanbao, then followed the steward and walked slowly towards the north.
On the first day of the summer, they were all arranged in the guest house on the east side, which was quite far away from the guest house on the north side. It can be seen that Jin Yuanbao had avoided some unnecessary troubles when making arrangements.
However, Fan Luo had not gone far when he said to the housekeeper: "Old man, I left my handkerchief with the girl in black clothes just now. It is my mother's relic. Can you please accompany me to get it back?"
?”
The housekeeper was called "old man" each time with the word "you" each time, and the housekeeper felt extremely comfortable. He immediately nodded and said, "Young master, please come with me."
So Fan Luo, who was originally going to the guest room on the north side, was led by the housekeeper and walked slowly towards the guest room on the east side.
The long green gown was flowing elegantly, and the blowing wind stirred up the long black hair and fluttering clothes. The pair of peach blossoms were indescribably charming.
The housekeeper felt that this was the first time he had seen such a beautiful man, and he couldn't help but feel dazed for a long time.
"Master, please, please come this way..."
He quickly came to his senses, lowered his head and quietly led the way.
In the guest room on the east side, Xia Chuyi had no intention of going into the room. At the moment, Feng Luo and Chang Huan were teasing the colorful birds in the yard.
Seeing that the housekeeper had brought someone, she subconsciously turned her head and met the man's eyes.
Fan Luo smiled, and his pair of peach blossom eyes seemed to have countless waves of light, flowing gracefully, and instantly dimmed the world of mortals around him.
Xia Chuyi was stunned for less than half a second, and then he raised the corners of his lips and smiled: "Master Fanluo, are you okay with coming here?"
