They slept soundly that night, and they didn't get up until the sun rose high in the morning. Meier had a smile on her face, and it was obvious that the afterglow of last night's joy had not dissipated.
However, the little girl today was uncharacteristically uncharacteristic. She did not chatter nonstop, but quietly lit a fire and prepared hot water for washing. This made Jiang Xingchen a little uncomfortable.
After washing his face, Jiang Xingchen looked at the bowl of light salt water handed over by Mei'er and lamented in his heart: "Is there no toothbrush in this world? Even if it has wicker... No, I have to make one myself!"
After finishing cleaning, I walked out of the courtyard. Everything was as usual. There was no trace of the group of big men beating up the three people in Chunxiang Tower last night.
The two of them went all the way to the market. Meier didn't say much on the way, she just followed Jiang Xingchen quietly with a smile.
However, as soon as they entered the market, seven or eight hooligans appeared out of nowhere and surrounded them, startling the two of them. Meier hid behind Jiang Xingchen and grabbed his sleeves.
Trembling.
"Hello, Master Jiang! Hello, Miss Mei'er!" The gangsters bowed together with great momentum. Although they all tried their best to show what they thought was a friendly smile, they all looked aggressive.
Jiang Xingchen looked at the other party with some doubts and a look of caution! He was not too worried now that he had activated Yuanquan. But the little girl had long been afraid of these people like tigers and wolves, and wished she could hide her whole body in her brother's body.
.
These gangsters, who have been hanging around the market all year round, are all very discerning. Seeing Jiang Xingchen's expression, he immediately understood the reason. One of the big men quickly explained: "Master Jiang! It was Master Sun from Xianxiangju who told us that you should be treated well!"
"
"Sun Sanqiang!" Jiang Xingchen nodded and slowly lowered his guard. From the other party's attitude yesterday, he could tell that the other party couldn't afford to offend Mo Hongxian, and he didn't dare to offend himself.
"I didn't expect that he would be related to these gangsters!" Jiang Xingchen thought to himself, nodded to the big man and said, "We have nothing to serve, you go back and thank Master Sun for me!"
After saying that, he led Meier forward without waiting for a reply. Of course, nobles behaved in a superior manner when facing civilians. This was what he had observed in the past two days.
The gangsters didn't dare to stop them and hurriedly got out of the way! When the two of them walked some distance away, several of them looked at each other and then followed them cautiously.
Mei'er nervously grabbed Jiang Xingchen's sleeves, turned her head and glanced, whispering: "Brother, they are still following you!"
Jiang Xingchen smiled faintly and said: "If you are willing to follow, let them do it. Don't worry about it... Don't forget, my brother has activated Yuanquan, so there is no need to be afraid of them!"
"Yes! Brother will resume his aristocratic status soon, what's so scary!" The little girl seemed to have just realized it, and then she straightened up.
"Haha!" Jiang Xingchen smiled and patted Mei'er's little head and said, "Let's go! Let's go to the pharmacy first to treat the injury on your hand!"
Then, a strange scene appeared. Jiang Xingchen led Meier in front, followed by seven or eight big men with careful expressions on their faces! Everyone in the market, both pedestrians and stall holders, looked at them one after another.
No one has ever seen such a look of surprise on a group of overlords in the market. It would be fine if they were nobles dressed in gorgeous clothes and behaved proudly, but that man and woman were obviously wearing linen rags, so they must be commoners.
undoubtedly.
"What's wrong with Boss Hong and the others? Why are they so careful about two civilians? Except for Master Sun from Xianxiangju, they have never been afraid of anyone!"
"Who would have known that these two people have unusual identities? Maybe they are not civilians!"
"Nonsense! It's not like civilians dress like this. How can you see a noble being so slovenly?"
"It can't be that Boss Hong and the others are sick, right? Their brains..."
"If you don't want to live anymore, you will be dead if they hear it..."
None of these people dared to raise their voices. These gangsters usually have too much power in the market.
After a while, they arrived at the pharmacy, and Jiang Xingchen led Meier in.
Sitting in the room was a fat man wearing a long cotton coat. He had a big gash on his hand. He was bleeding profusely and groaning in pain. His fat face was a little out of shape.
A middle-aged man with a goatee was holding a linen cloth, sprinkling white medicinal powder on the fat man's wounds, and bandaging the fat man's wounds.
After entering the room, Jiang Xingchen only glanced at it, then turned his head with a pale face, and thought to himself: "Why don't you use stitches for such a wound? I'm afraid even the medicine won't be able to apply it..."
A boy at the counter asked: "Do you buy medicine?"
"No! My sister has an injury on her hand. Let the shopkeeper take a look at it!" Jiang Xingchen said.
"Sir is busy, please wait a moment!" The young man pointed towards the middle-aged man with the goatee.
"Okay!" Jiang Xingchen nodded and looked around the hall. There were no chairs anywhere except Fatty's, so he and Mei'er stood and waited.
When several gangsters outside the door saw Jiang Xingchen and Mei'er waiting aside, they immediately showed their fierce looks and raised their legs to come in. However, Jiang Xingchen looked over and stopped them.
Several gangsters were a little surprised, as if they didn't understand Jiang Xingchen's behavior. Why didn't he let the shopkeeper show it to them first? As long as he and others came forward, how could the shopkeeper dare to refuse.
However, with Sun Sanqiang's instructions, they did not dare to make any mistakes. They could only shake their heads speechlessly and disperse from the door... Little did they know that even if Jiang Xingchen had a noble status that was superior to others, he would not be able to change the years of civilization.
Concepts formed by society.
After waiting for a long time, the shopkeeper finally bandaged the fat man with sweating profusely. He looked back at Jiang Xingchen and Mei'er, said lightly that you would wait a little longer, and then went directly to the counter to drink water and rest.
Jiang Xingchen didn't pay attention. Doctors are also human beings. After working for such a long time, they always need to take a rest.
However, he was not calm about what happened next. After the fat man left, a thin man in luxurious clothes came in from the door, shouting that he wanted to see a doctor, and the shopkeeper immediately came out from the counter to welcome him.
"Shopkeeper, it seems we were here first!" Jiang Xingchen's tone was extremely unhappy, and his face sank.
The shopkeeper turned his head, glanced disdainfully, and said lightly: "If you don't want to wait, go to another place!"
The thin man also smiled disdainfully and said in a low voice to the shopkeeper: "Looking at their clothes, I'm afraid they can't even afford the medical fees..."
Before the thin man finished speaking, his vision dimmed, and seven or eight big men had rushed in. Then he felt his head being held down by a hand, his vision turned instantly, there was a bang in his ear, and his face had been hit by
On the ground, severe pain spread from the face...
A few minutes later, the middle-aged man with a goatee, the right half of his face bulged, and his right eye was so swollen that there was only a gap left. He tremblingly applied ointment to Mei'er's hands.
In the corner on the other side, the thin man with a short mouth was even worse. He had gained weight and shivered like a quail in the corner, with tears all over his face.
"These gangsters are too ruthless..." Jiang Xingchen couldn't bear to see the trembling expression on the shopkeeper's face. But then he narrowed his eyes, twitched the corner of his mouth slightly, and said to himself: "It's really a relief.
! Let you, a bastard, look down on people. If it weren’t for the small area, I would also step on your face..."
Soon, a group of people left in a mighty manner. The shopkeeper held two topaz coins in his hand and looked at the mess around him. He wanted to cry without tears: "Who are those two people? They are so wicked. They are pretending to be common people.
Are people very interesting..."
When the pharmacy shopkeeper was wailing in his heart, the shopkeeper of the clothing store who had used six topaz coins to buy Jiang Xingchen's silk was also crying. Today, all the advantages he had taken in the previous two days were made up for. The little girl stirred up trouble, then
It's fair to say that top-quality animal skins and clothes are useless when put in her mouth. Bargaining is like cutting with a knife, and the knife will draw blood! I wanted to argue, but when I saw the gangsters lined up in a row,
All the words were swallowed back.
After a full month, the shopkeeper sent a group of people away like a plague. Soon after, a burst of curses similar to howling came from the clothing store.
At the market, Meier touched the soft and warm animal skin dresses for a while, and looked up at the brand new shoes, with an excited smile on her face.
Jiang Xingchen had a gentle look on his face, and when he saw the little girl happy, he felt indescribably happy.
"Master Jiang! Where should we go next?" A big man stepped forward and asked.
"Go to Imperial College!" Jiang Xingchen said. He no longer rejects these gangsters. He refused before just because he didn't want to have anything to do with Sun Sanqiang, but he helped me in the pharmacy just now, and the favor has been lost. Now he is cold-faced.
, it’s a little unreasonable.
"Imperial College is in the east of the city, a little far away! Master Jiang, please wait a moment!" said a gangster, turned around and left quickly.
Not long after, a luxury car pulled by four horses drove over. As soon as this car appeared, it immediately attracted the attention of everyone on the street.
The carriage stopped beside her, but Meier looked a little nervous and awkward, and her excited smile disappeared.
"Brother! Let's not take the carriage!" Mei'er grabbed Jiang Xingchen's sleeves and whispered: "They help us beat people and arrange such a luxurious carriage. They must have a purpose..."
Jiang Xingchen rubbed the top of Mei'er's head and said: "I know this, brother knows it well! Don't worry, just sit back and relax... Haha, haven't you always wanted to travel in a luxury carriage?"
After receiving her brother's confirmation, Meier smiled again, her eyes turned into crescent moons, and she lifted her legs and boarded the carriage.
After Jiang Xingchen also got into the car, the two gangsters sat in the driving position, shook the reins, and the carriage slowly drove away...
The remaining gangsters watched the carriage leave the market and disappear from sight, turned around and walked quickly towards Xianxiang Residence not far away.
Not long after, Sun Sanqiang's laughter was heard in the center of Xianxiang: "Hahahaha...Jiang Ling didn't refuse, which shows that this relationship is a good one...You have done well, and you will be rewarded!"
