The Concubine of Crossing

"However, Guanshi Qian has just been arrested in the cell and has not yet been executed. When he saw Guanshi Huang's bloody appearance, he fainted from fright. The official poured a basin of water on him, and he woke up without saying a word , all recruited."

Mr. Wu stood in the hall, and what he was talking about today was not Zhao Xiucai's story, but the arson case that the people in Pucheng have been talking about recently.

Zhao Xiucai clicked his tongue while peeling peanuts, "The Luo family's story is really exciting, much more exciting than my script. No wonder Mr. Wu stopped talking about the arson case recently."

Li Xiao was also listening, but he didn't say anything.Having known him for so long, Zhao Xiucai has never asked him about his background, maybe he guessed something, maybe he didn't guess anything.

From Mr. Wu's side, from Guanshi Qian's plea to the Luo family's handing over the list of losses for Guanshi Qian to compensate, the amount... made Guanshi Qian faint again.

The audience booed for a while, asking how many Mr. Wu had.Mr. Wu just smiled and made a gesture of spreading his hands, "I don't know about this."

The crowd laughed.

Zhao Xiucai knocked on the melon seeds, "Tsk tsk, I'm smiling so happily, I guess I won't be able to laugh anymore in a few days."

Li Xiao looked at him suspiciously, Zhao Xiucai smiled at him, then suppressed his smile, "I'm going to visit the capital, do you want Brother Li to go together?"

Li Xiao was slightly startled. Kyoto, that is the center of the entire imperial power and wealth gathering place. While it is prosperous, it also means a lot of trouble.

This is not the peaceful era in the future, where the status and class are serious, you can bump into some noble person when you are not allowed to go out, and then you will be beaten up, and there is no way to justify it.

The place Li Xiao least wants to go to is probably Kyoto.So he shook his head, "How long are you going to go?"

It is not easy to travel far in this era, and travel units are calculated on a monthly basis, which is really not easy.

Zhao Xiucai shook his head, "I don't know, if one day I'm in a better mood, why don't I go to try the scientific examination?"

Li Xiao almost didn't choke on his saliva. In this day and age, everything is inferior, except for reading.For that opportunity, some people have been trapped in that house for the rest of their lives, and they are even worse than women.

At the beginning, Zhao Xiucai fell into the water because of losing his reputation, so he drank alcohol and fell into the water, so he formed this friendship with Li Xiao.

To be honest, Li Xiao actually suspected that he didn't stumble and fall into the water, but threw himself into the river.Even in the era in the future when grades are not so important, there are many students who commit suicide because of the high pressure of the college entrance examination.

But Zhao Xiucai said that he fell into the water unfortunately, so let's just believe it.Now that he suddenly heard that he still wanted to do scientific research, Li Xiao subconsciously felt his scalp tingle.

Seeing his expression, Zhao Xiucai couldn't help but smashed a peanut towards him, "What expression do you have?"

Li Xiao took the peanut easily, peeled the shell and threw it into his mouth, crunching it, "That road is not easy to walk."

Zhao Xiucai also peeled a peanut and chewed it crunchily, "I know, but after studying for so many years, if I don't try a few more times, I'm always unwilling."

Li Xiao thinks about it too, after all, you can become an official after passing the exam, and ordinary people like them have to kowtow a few times when they see it, they are much more majestic than those who will be officials in the future.

But thinking of what Luo Laibao said, Li Xiao hesitated, "The next autumn will take two years... During this time, you should not go to the capital." As for whether to go to the scientific research after two years, Then look at Zhao Xiucai himself.

The two sat closer to the back, and Mr. Wu spoke louder. Everyone noticed that they had gone over there, and no one listened to them.

Zhao Xiucai paused slightly. He looked up at Li Xiao deeply, and then smiled, "In that case, I'll go to Lanzhou. I heard that there are beautiful scenery and beautiful people there. A friend just invited me to go there. …It’s just that we won’t be able to discuss the script with Brother Li at that time.”

Li Xiao shook his head helplessly, "Inspiration comes from life. Oftentimes, things in life are much more exciting than we imagined. Brother Zhao just went out to watch and listen more. If he had to come out, it would be better than my younger brother's cranky thinking behind closed doors."

After all, he is the first friend in this world, knowing that he is going to travel far, Li Xiao is also a little bit reluctant.Moreover, transportation and communication are inconvenient in this era, and it is not even possible to determine whether a person is alive or dead.

The two talked for a while, and when they left, Zhao Xiucai patted him on the shoulder, promising to send him a letter when he got there, and the two parted.

Parting is always melancholy, when Li Xiao walked out of the restaurant, he was still a little inexplicably sad.

Then when he raised his head, he saw their young master leaning against the corner of the wall, smiling at him, and it was as if the clouds disappeared in an instant, and the sad emotions just now were instantly thrown out of the sky.

Li Xiao strode towards Master Luo almost without any hesitation. Master Luo raised his head and gave him a flattering smile, "Xiao Xiao, you didn't come home for lunch...I'm a little worried..."

Li Xiao stretched out his hand and rubbed his head. There was never a moment when he clearly realized that it was because of such a person that he took root in this strange world, and he was no longer like the one who didn't know where to go. Floating, not knowing where to come from, not knowing where to go.

"Well, I'm hungry, let's go home and have dinner." After saying this, he took Master Luo's hand and walked back.

When Li Xiao held his hand and dragged him forward, Luo Laibao was stunned for a while but couldn't react.Li Xiao took two steps and felt that he would not turn his head back, and saw Luo Laibao staring at him blankly.

Li Xiao was puzzled, "What's wrong?"

Luo Laibao seemed to have finally regained his senses, his eye sockets turned red, but he raised his face and showed Li Xiao a brilliant smile, "I'm very happy."

He's happy, really, really, really happy.

When he was sitting on a chair and couldn't move, he dreamed that his legs were still good, so that he could stand beside him and walk side by side with him.

Things that he dared not even dream of became reality, Luo Laibao was ecstatic and at the same time a little uneasy.

If this is a dream, then let him never wake up.

Luo Laibao held Li Xiao's hand tightly, striding forward.

Li Xiao was really impulsive just now, even in the future world, it would be very eye-catching for two big men to go shopping hand in hand.Although masculinity is prevalent in this Gu country, this is a world where you don't even talk about love and get married directly. Except for adults and children, there are no men and women who even go shopping hand in hand.These two big men are holding hands... It's really eye-catching.

However, Young Master Luo was obviously very happy, and Li Xiao couldn't bear to take back his hand with that expression that was almost crying with joy.

So while the arson case at Luo's house was still raging, the news that Young Master Luo brought a beautiful man back home immediately spread.

The existence of Li Xiao is actually no secret. After the Wang family was divorced, the matter of Master Luo having a very beloved male concubine has already been aroused. Even the shopkeepers under the name of the Luo family are almost Everyone has seen Li Xiao, but ordinary people have never seen it!

So everyone thought that Master Luo's heart was broken by a woman, did he really change his masculinity completely, or was it just a man who casually picked up on the street...

As for those shopkeepers who knew about Li Xiao but didn't open their mouths to explain... Now that their minds have been flying, they don't have the mood to meddle in such nosy matters.

Because Luo Changfu took out a long bill that was discussed by the outside world but was unknown, and unfortunately told all the shopkeepers that the Luo family went bankrupt!

Luo Changfu decided to sell all the shops under the name of the Luo family. As long as you are willing to pay, you can sell the shop to him, whether it is a helper or a shopkeeper.

All the shopkeepers are going crazy, Luo Changfu is talking about all the shops!

You must know that although some shops will lose money, more shops will make money, and some of them are the ones that make a lot of money.And now, Luo Changfu actually said that he wanted to sell the shop!

Having helped the Luo family for so many years, many shopkeepers have accumulated a lot of savings, and their hearts are eager to move, but no one said this, and other people are not willing to act rashly.

Seeing that no one spoke, Luo Changfu shook his head helplessly, "You don't want to buy it? Then put a red cloth on the door tomorrow!" After speaking, Luo Changfu picked up the tea, which meant seeing off the guests up.

All the stewards and shopkeepers looked at each other.

Today they came to discuss how to solve the problem of the goods being burned, but no one expected that Luo Changfu would suddenly make such a move for them, which directly stunned everyone.

Not to mention the thoughts of the shopkeepers above, how can those managers have less savings in their hands?

Hearing Luo Changfu's tone, he planned to sell all the shops, so they could get some business out of it... Didn't they get rich?

For a while, everyone walked out in silence, and each glanced at the familiar people with their eyes. The information exchanged in the eyes was too rich, with doubts, disbelief, heartbeat, and vigilance...

All kinds of eyes are different.

Luo Changfu couldn't help but sneer.This is the foundation of their Luo family. It has been rotten from the root long ago, and all their efforts are just to make wedding dresses for others.

At this moment, seeing that everyone was leaving, a steward stayed behind and asked worriedly, "Master, I don't understand."

Luo Changfu was a little puzzled, "What don't you understand?"

The manager said, "Although the Luo family has lost a lot this time, it is not that there is no stock in the warehouses of each store. Just sell less things and use the stock to top it off, and then take advantage of this time to hurry up and buy a batch back. , the shop can't hold on..."

Luo Changfu waved his hand and said decadently, "Almost all the money we can use has been invested in this shipment... The Luo family has been gutted now, and I can't think of any other way except to sell the shop."

At that moment, the surprise in the steward's eyes deeply hurt Luo Changfu's heart that had been chilled to the bone.

Although he quickly suppressed his emotions, he was still caught by Luo Changfu.The exhaustion rising in his heart made him no longer want to deal with these ulterior motives, so he waved his hand to signal him to go down.

The shopkeeper walked out, striding out, someone had already approached him and asked, "How is it, Manager Wu?"

Guanshi Wu raised his face, and after a while he finally couldn't hold back his smile, and slapped the man, "Go and prepare the money!"

When the man heard this, he was overjoyed.The people around who had pricked up their ears also regained their energy, turned around and walked back quickly, and quickly began to calculate how much silver and how many shops they could get...
