Fox Demon: The Mysterious Lord of Yaya Family
Chapter 142 What do you want?
Looking at the invitation brought by the servant in the house, Chen Yuyan's mouth curled up slightly.
This invitation letter came from the Ji Mansion, inviting him to a gathering at a restaurant in the city at noon today.
The signature is Ji Boda’s son Ji Bochang.
How could Chen Yuyan, who had almost turned the entire Ji Mansion into a sieve, not know his little thoughts?
However, the most important thing for a drama is the preparation before it. As the saying goes, you have to do it to the fullest. Since the other party has made the invitation, there is no reason not to keep it.
So, Chen Yuyan asked the servant to respond to the messenger who delivered the letter, saying that she would go as promised at that time.
Although Ji Bochang had expected this news, he was still a little surprised.
After all, the other party should know that I am a cultivator, and judging from the current relationship, the two parties are in a hostile relationship.
Since the other party dares to come to the appointment, we have to think more deeply about his identity and purpose.
The previous speculation that there was something strange about Chen Yuyan's strength and identity has been given more definite evidence.
Wait until after noon.
After Chen Yuyan told a few people about these things, she left the house alone.
As he rode on the white horse that he had gotten from Ji Boda's house, he immediately attracted a lot of people's attention.
Most people looked at him with curiosity, while the few elderly people who had lived in Jicheng for a long time looked at him as if he were a dead person.
In a tavern not far away, several men who were dressed somewhat shabbily were talking about Chen Yuyan who was riding a white horse on the street.
As a leisure time after work at noon, several people often get together to have a drink.
At this moment, Chen Yuyan, who was on the street, became their best topic of conversation.
"How long do you think he can live?"
A rough-looking man holding a wine glass said to his slightly thin companion beside him.
Hearing this, his companion shook his head.
"I guess he won't live long. It's a pity that his beautiful wife has become a widow at such a young age."
Having said that, he licked his lips, his expression slightly vulgar.
Hearing this, the burly man smacked his lips, recalling the scene of meeting Tushan Yaya that day.
That figure, that look.
She is truly a rare beauty, but it's a pity that she ended up with such a short-lived guy.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but sigh softly.
His companion beside him mocked:
"Hey, why are you so sad? Even if this short-lived county magistrate really died, you wouldn't be his wife."
"That's what you said."
Hearing what his companion said, he was slightly dissatisfied.
"Is it not okay to fantasize? Aren't we allowed to have sweet dreams?"
Hearing the burly man's words, the man raised his eyebrows.
"Hey, when did you become so literary?"
After saying this, he took a sip of the wine in the glass and then slowly said:
"But it's true. People like us are like straw in the field. When the wind blows, we fall down in pieces."
Hearing the thin man's sigh, the burly man said with a slightly mocking tone:
"You're talking about me, aren't you the same?"
Hearing this, the thin man waved his hand casually, then picked up a peanut in front of him with chopsticks and put it into his mouth.
"Forget it, let's not talk about this, let's drink."
A moment later, Chen Yuyan arrived at the largest restaurant in the entire city.
As soon as I entered the door, a waiter came to greet me respectfully.
"Mr. County Governor, Master Ji is waiting for you in the private room on the second floor."
Looking at the county magistrate who had just arrived a few days ago and had killed someone with his own hands, the waiter felt a little uneasy.
But after all, I am here to work, so no matter how scared I am, I still have to do my job well.
Hearing this, Chen Yuyan nodded, then took out a small piece of silver from her arms and threw it to the other party.
Seeing this, the waiter took the change, put it in his mouth and took a light bite.
Then his expression became more respectful, and even his tone contained a hint of flattery.
"Oh, thank you for the reward, County Magistrate."
With a smile on his face, he stuffed the piece of silver into his arms, and then began to lead the way for Chen Yuyan.
Under the guidance of the waiter, Chen Yuyan followed him slowly to the second floor, and then came to the door of the innermost private room.
"Then I will take my leave first."
After saying this, the waiter bowed and turned to leave.
Chen Yuyan also turned the door handle of the room.
As soon as he entered the door, he smelled the faint aroma of food and a hint of wine.
The whole room is elegantly decorated. Different from the market-like atmosphere on the first floor, the room at this moment is more like a place for scholars to gather and chat.
At this moment, Ji Bochang was sitting in front of the window. When he noticed Chen Yuyan's arrival, he did not immediately stand up to greet her, but waved at her.
"Hey, the county magistrate is here, come here quickly, come here quickly."
Hearing the other party's words, Chen Yuyan glanced at the steaming food on the table, and then walked to the other party's side.
"Look there."
After Chen Yuyan came over, Ji Bochang pointed to a rice shop not far away.
At this moment, men weighing several kilograms were walking back and forth carrying bags of rice.
Without waiting for Chen Yuyan to speak, he said to himself:
"See those farmhands? A few years ago, they were a bunch of hooligans, doing illegal things everywhere."
When Ji Bochang said this, there was some emotion in his tone.
"Now, they have found a job for themselves and started to live an honest life. And all this happened just a few years ago."
Chen Yuyan naturally understood the meaning of the other party's words. He did not choose to expose him, but pretended to be stupid and asked a question.
"Instead of talking about this group of ordinary people, it's better to talk about what brought me here today, Master Ji?"
"Brother Han."
Ji Bochang glanced tentatively at Chen Yuyan standing beside him.
"You and I are not too far apart in age, so it should be okay for me to call you Big Brother, right?"
After confirming that Chen Yuyan nodded, Ji Bochang continued:
"You said that what people seek in this world is nothing more than peace of mind, and the source of this peace of mind comes from various material things."
Ji Bochang looked at the civilians coming and going outside the window and said to himself:
"As for those who are a little bit better, like us. In the eyes of those people, we have almost nothing to worry about, no worries about food, no worries about water, no worries about clothes."
"But in my opinion, it's all the same, it's just that what we want is different from what they want."
Chen Yuyan stood silently by the side, smiling and listening to his words.
Suddenly, Ji Bochang paused, and then he looked at Chen Yuyan beside him.
"So, what do you want?"
