Zhong Ling didn't care about other people's gazes. She innocently held Yang Guhong's arm. She naturally liked Yang Guhong, so she didn't avoid him at all.
However, Yang Guhong's appearance alone was indeed unparalleled in the world. If she had such a son-in-law, how could she not be satisfied? Immediately, he welcomed Yang Guhong into the room and served him a cup of tea.
Zhong Ling had a quick tongue. She had already told Gan Baobao about the trouble she had caused in Wuliang Mountain. Gan Baobao's nickname was " Poetic Medicine Fork ". She was very good at studying medicine. It only took her a moment to concoct the antidote for the Lightning Mink and give it to Cui Guangjie. Cui Guangjie was anxious to go back and save them, so he didn't stay for dinner and left.
After sending Cui Guangjie away, Gan Baobao turned around and smiled at Yang Dehong.""Looks like you'll be our future son-in-law! You accompany Ling 'er well. I'll go prepare the dishes.”
Zhong Ling was greatly embarrassed when she heard this. She hurriedly burrowed into her mother's embrace and said angrily,"Mother, what nonsense are you talking about?"
Gan Baobao stroked Zhong Ling's head and smiled.""When did our family's ghost learn to be shy?”
"Mother, let's go to the kitchen. I'll help you.”Zhong Ling didn't dare to turn around to look at Yang Guhong again and wanted to hide in the kitchen.
" Silly girl," Gan Baobao laughed." There's a guest here. How can you not accompany him?" Be obedient and accompany Young Hero Yang!"
Helpless, Zhong Ling could only retreat with a red face. However, he still didn't dare to look at Yang Guhong. Suddenly, he turned his eyes and walked towards the door, shouting,""Let me bring you around the valley. Come on!”
Yang Guhong also felt bored sitting there, so he happily followed behind her.
There was nothing special to see in the valley other than trees. Zhong Ling had tried her best to bring Yang Guhong into the depths of the forest. In fact, the little girl's heart was actually thinking of being alone with Yang Guhong.
How could Yang Guhong not know what she was thinking? He was secretly delighted. When they reached the depths of the forest, he suddenly jumped up, hugged Zhong Ling's waist, and flew up to the top of the tree, leaping to his heart's content.
Zhong Ling naturally stuck close to his body. She was already sick of the scenery in front of her and only cared about sniffing the masculine scent on Yang Guhong's body.
The two of them floated on the top of the tree for a while and looked around the valley. Finally, they landed on a huge rock in the forest.
Yang Guhong didn't let go of Zhong Ling, and Zhong Ling didn't have any intention of breaking free from him. The two of them quietly leaned against each other, silent, unwilling to do anything to disturb this silence.
The faint fragrance of orchids and the fluttering hair on his head tickled Yang Guhong's face.
Yang Guhong stretched out his two fingers and gently pinched Zhong Ling's hair. Zhong Ling felt her face burning hot. Her eyes flickered as she stole a glance at Yang Guhong.
Yang Guhong had been waiting for her to look over. He had been waiting for Zhong Ling for a long time, so when Zhong Ling glanced at him, his gaze met hers. The four gazes intertwined, and there seemed to be a mysterious power that made it impossible for them to look away.
Yang Guhong could feel a tremor in the depths of his soul from Zhong Ling's innocent and clear eyes. It made him feel as if he was floating in the air.
Zhong Ling was a little mischievous and had the characteristics of a little loli in the 21st century. Yang Guhong felt that he seemed to have become much younger when he was with such a girl. She was a girl who could not hide her feelings on her face and was also a girl who dared to love and hate. This kind of girl was not scheming and did not know how to scheme against others. It was relaxed and happy to be with her.
Yang Guhong couldn't bear to be too reckless with such a girl, so he controlled his urge to kiss Zhong Ling immediately and gently pulled her into his arms.
Zhong Ling obediently leaned into his embrace, biting her lips as a blissful smile appeared on her face.
After a long time, Zhong Ling suddenly woke up from a dream and shouted,""This is bad. We've been out for too long. My mother must have prepared dinner and waited for us. Let's go back!”
"Alright, I'm hungry too." Yang Guhong said.”
He held Zhong Ling's waist again and flew back from the forest. When he was about to reach Zhong Ling's house, he put her down so that Gan Baobao wouldn't see him.
Gan Baobao had been waiting for Zhong Ling and Yang Guhong at home for a long time. Just as she was about to shout, she saw Zhong Ling walking over with Yang Guhong. Zhong Ling's face was red and she looked charming. Gan Baobao's heart was clear. She knew that this couple must have had intimate contact just now, and she couldn't help but feel happy for her daughter.
The three of them entered the banquet. Yang Guhong probed why Valley Master Zhong did not appear. Gan Baobao said that Valley Master Zhong Wanchou had gone out to handle some matters and did not know when he would return. Gan Baobao then asked about Yang Guhong's background. Yang Guhong had to say that he was a son of a farmer in Hangzhou and so on. Gan Baobao naturally did not know the details, so he could only believe it.
Yang Guhong counted the days. It had only been seven days since he had cultivated his Real Body. He still had a long way to go before he could really get close to women. However, if he stayed with women every day, he was afraid that he would really not be able to hold it in. Therefore, he decided to go sightseeing alone. It was also good to see the real Jianghu. If he knew more people, he might be able to obtain the stunning beauty that did not appear in the " Heavenly Dragon Eight ".
He stayed with Zhong Zhaoxi for two days in the valley. On the third day, Yang Guhong found an excuse to bid farewell to Zhong Ling and Gan Baobao. He also made it impossible for Zhong Ling to follow him. However, he promised the mother and daughter that he would visit Myriad Tribulation Valley again soon.
When he passed by Mu Wanqing's small wooden house, he wanted to see the beauty's true face first. However, he thought that Duan Queyu wouldn't be able to make it into the Myriad Calamity Valley, so he didn't need to be so anxious. This beauty would belong to him sooner or later. He couldn't get serious with women now. When the time was up, he would kill all the beauties in the martial arts world.
For now, he would go and have fun. He could not rush his plan to hunt for beauties.
Speaking of the rich and lively Jiangnan, other than the various trading companies, there was a place that people living in Jiangnan must know--the Manor of Heartless Love.
From rare treasures to broken bowls and shoes, as long as you can take them out, the heartless village will not miss them.
Speaking of which, the Heartless Manor was a legend. The pawnshop that was independently supported by a woman not only stood firm in the competition of many peers, but her unique business skills also made her famous. In just a year, everyone in Jiangnan did not know the name of the Heartless Manor.
Holding the brush in his right hand and the seal in his left hand, his slender wrist quickly waved on the white paper. His half-opened eyes flashed with shrewdness. He first glanced at the open scroll in front of him, then turned to the silver abacus on the table that had been adjusted in place, and finally turned back to the white paper that was filled with black words.
"Grandpa Xu, right?" He drew the last line and put down his brush. "Five taels of silver. This is the written agreement."
"Five taels of silver? Was there a mistake? This is different from what I said just now. We were talking about fifty taels of silver just now!”
The man called "Master Xu" seemed to have been wronged. His cheeks puffed up in anger as he said unhappily,"Boss Liu, don't joke with me. I brought a treasure that my family regards as a family heirloom. It was painted by an immortal in a painting!”
She waved her light blue sleeve and interrupted him.
"If Master Xu is not satisfied with this price, the door is behind you.”
Grandpa Xu was even more displeased! He slapped the wooden table heavily.
"Boss Liu, don't be so arrogant just because the Heartless Manor is the largest pawnshop in this county. It's not like you're the only shop. I don't believe that other bosses don't know what's good like Boss Liu!”
A string of crisp laughter came from a small and exquisite almond-shaped mouth. Liu Wuqing shook his head and said mockingly,""What kind of person do you think I, Liu Wuqing, am? How can I not be able to tell the authenticity of this painting?"
The question of authenticity immediately rendered Grandpa Xu speechless. He was stunned for a while before he found his voice. "Boss Liu, don't talk nonsense. What authenticity…"
"A straightforward person doesn't beat around the bush. We all know that if Master Xu's painting were to be sold in the market, it would be worth at most one or two silver taels. Grandpa Xu should know that no one will bid higher than me.”Her curly eyelashes fluttered, and she looked at her beautiful eyes with a mocking expression.
Uncle Xu's shoulders collapsed, and his face, which was originally filled with anger, instantly deflated.
"Boss Liu, can't you give me a higher price?”
"Since you've entered my Heartless Manor, you should know my rules. Heartless Manor accepts pawning of anything, but everything must be within my permission. Five taels is my bottom line. Whether I want it or not depends on you, Uncle Xu. Isn't Uncle Xu in a hurry to get silver?”
After struggling for a while, Grandpa Xu nodded silently.
"Alright, deal."
A sly smile flashed across the corner of his mouth, and his left hand, which had never moved, swiftly stamped a seal on the dry handwriting-Liu
This was the basis of Liu Wuqing's foundation.
"You and I will each have a copy of this receipt. After a month, Master Xu will redeem this family heirloom with eight taels of silver, including interest.”
She fiddled with the silver bead abacus with her jade fingers and handed over the dried receipt with one hand. It was written in black and white, and no one could deny it!
"What is it? Eight taels of silver?" Grandpa Xu exclaimed.
"What's wrong? Grandpa Xu slaughtered pigs and sold meat every day. His monthly income should be much more than this eight taels of silver! Or did Grandpa Xu find it difficult to pay off his debts? " It doesn't matter. After a month, if I don't see Master Xu, I, Liu Wuqing, will go to your wife and ask her to help Master Xu first, or…" Liu Wuqing glanced at the henpecked man who was already covered in cold sweat.
Serves him right! Who told you to fall in love with gambling and lose all the income you earned this month behind your wife and children's back? You had no choice but to pawn things to supplement your family expenses. She wanted to deliberately prank him a little so that he would not dare to do it again.
"I remember that there are no less than ten pigs in Uncle Xu's backyard. I can bring back any three or four of them.”Anyway, he would be the one earning it anyway. Of course, he would choose the most beneficial one!
One adult pig was worth four silver coins, so four of them…wah wah! This time, there was another sum of money in his account! Liu Wuqing secretly laughed in his heart.
Grandpa Xu, who was as stunned as a chicken, looked at the bill that was forced into his hand without moving.
Liu Wuqing immediately summoned his servants. "Go and get five taels of silver for this Master Xu and then send him off.”
After giving a simple and clear explanation, she suddenly stood up. Her long, flowing hair was pushed back, and she tied a blue silk rope around the clean seal on her head. The other end was simply tied to her slender waist. There was a string of keys of different sizes hanging on her waist, and they were tied to a white jade mirror. As long as they moved, they would collide with each other. It was very lively.
She turned around, lifted the curtain by the wall, and went to the backyard.
When the curtain was lowered, the shrewd face was replaced with a fresh and playful expression. Her watery eyes sparkled with a lively light. With one hand on her waist, she twisted her nose, stuck out her pink tongue, and pulled a cute ghost face.
"Humph! This old man Tu wanted to cheat me of my money, but he didn't ask around first. I, Liu Wuqing, don't live up to my reputation. How could I fall for his trick so easily?”She was Liu Wuqing, the female boss of the number one pawnshop in Jiangnan," Heartless Manor." Everyone in the county knew her name and secretly called her the queen of flowers.
Liu Wuqing deserved to be named after the flower. She was young and a woman, but she was able to make a name for herself in the rich Jiangnan. Which flower could compete with her in terms of business methods?
"There is nothing in the world that cannot be pawned, and there is no reason not to pay back the money.”This was her maxim.
The Heartless Manor accepted anything that could be pawned, so that all the customers who urgently needed it could solve their financial problems in the shortest time possible.
The pawnkeeper had to make an agreement on when to redeem the money. When the time came, he had to bring the principal and interest. Otherwise, he would have to pay a large sum of money according to the agreement.
She also set up the initiative to pay off the debts in installments, so that the customers who were inconvenient could pay off their debts one by one. This method was very useful, and few people violated it. Therefore, the Manor of Unrequited Love earned a lot of money from interest.
However, if she met someone like Master Xu, she would have a different style.
"Love sister, what's the matter? Why are you smiling so happily?”
"Sister Cuirong." Liu Wuqing smiled at the newcomer.
