It wasn't so cold today that the wind was biting, so Chi Jingxi didn't wear a big cloak.
He wore an apricot-yellow cotton robe, embroidered with silver patterns, spreading from the neckline to the cuffs to the hem, which was cumbersome and delicate.
This gentle color makes Chi Jingxi's handsome eyebrows look much softer, and at first glance, there is even a slight smile.
Wen Yantong's eyes were bright at the moment, he waved his hand and shouted, "Young Lord, Little Lord! What a coincidence that you are here!"
She walked towards them while talking, broke through the nursing yard surrounding her and walked up to them, and said with a smile, "Is it because you are resting tomorrow, so you are playing in the street?"
Mu Yang shook his head and smiled, "I didn't have as much fun as you guys. I really can't tell, Wen Yantong, I didn't expect you to be so good."
Wen Yantong heard that the first reaction was doubt, but then he suddenly realized that he was still holding the cloth that he had just torn off from the procuress, and threw it aside in disgust, "Misunderstanding, I can explain."
Fu Zixian had just fallen hard, and when he walked, he looked a little limp, and asked Wen Yantong, "What happened?"
Wen Yantong turned to Chi Jingxi at once, pointed at the old bustard, and complained, "Young Lord, look quickly, at the foot of the emperor in the imperial city, this woman is blatantly bullying me, a cripple, and robbing me of my silver taels! Breaking my other leg is too disrespectful to Wang Fa!"
The old bustard panicked when she heard Yantong's voice of "little lord" just now. Although she had no chance to meet this famous little lord on weekdays, the two people who came were dressed luxuriously and had extraordinary auras. It can be seen that it is not very human.
What's more, there are guards with sharp swords behind.
The old bustard is used to seeing big men, and her eyes are very poisonous. When she saw Wen Yantong, she had already seen that this person was at most a son of a rich family and had nothing to do with the powerful, so she dared to ask people to surround her. It's just that thousands of calculations didn't count, this person is still related to the young master.
This time, I have stabbed a hornet's nest, and I am in big trouble!
The old bustard was sweating out of fright, and quickly apologized with a smile, "This young man saw that what you said was all a misunderstanding. I just wanted to keep you for a while. I think the way of expressing it was wrong, which made you misunderstand."
Wen Yantong snorted coldly, "That's not what you said just now."
She quietly tugged on Chi Jingxi's sleeve, and said in a low voice, "Young Lord, I have already found out who killed the chicken, but the evidence is in the hands of this woman..."
Chi Jingxi's eyes were as black as ink, and he looked at the timid old bustard, "Catch him and escort him to the government."
The guards behind him immediately stepped forward and detained both the nurse and the madam. The bustard who was so proud just now knelt down on the ground, "Little Lord, please spare me! I won't dare to do it again!"
Chi Jingxi was unmoved, with a look of laziness in his eyes, "I won't take your life, so why beg for mercy."
The old bustard cried and slapped herself, "I shouldn't, I shouldn't! Young Master, you have a lot of people, don't send me to the government, at least give me a way out!"
Qinmolou is an old building in Chaogeli, but this old bustard is a new old bustard. If the owner knew that she had provoked Chi Jingxi, the woman would be kicked out of Qinmo Building without waiting until the next day.
It's just that after a woman enters the government, it will be recorded in the book, and the foundation is not clean. It will be difficult to find her husband's family in the future.
And more importantly, if Chi Jingxi was arranged for someone to go in, he probably wouldn't be able to get out for a year or so.
Wen Yantong understood, no wonder the old bustard was crying so terribly, presumably he was terribly afraid of going to prison. Seeing the old bustard begging for nothing, she deliberately cleared her throat and reminded her.
The old bustard was very clear-headed, and immediately understood that Wen Yantong was the source of the disaster, so she hurriedly begged her, "My lord, I will give you everything you asked for earlier, please help me beg for the little prince." love."
Wen Yantong was overjoyed, so he turned his head and whispered to Chi Jingxi, "Young Lord, this man said he wanted to give me something, why don't you take it down first and then send it to the government."
Mu Yang was very surprised when he heard it next to him, and couldn't help sighing, "You are really bad."
Wen Yantong glared at him, and said in a low voice, "What's wrong with me? I didn't agree to her pleading with the young master. She bullies people like this, so she should be sent to investigate."
Chi Jingxi nodded, "Take out the things."
The old bustard hurriedly took out a large handful of silver bills from his sleeve, and handed them all to the guard, "I'll give you all."
The guard handed over the banknotes, and Wen Yantong took them, looking through them one by one, and finally found a banknote with "Wu's Deposit Bank" printed on the lower right corner among all the banknotes.
She flipped through it several times, and there was only this one, so she showed it to the old bustard, "Is it this one?"
The old bustard took a closer look, "Not bad, not bad, it is Wu's bank note!"
Wen Yantong gritted his teeth and said bitterly, "Well, Wu Yutian, it really is you!"
Seeing that she had found the bank note, Chi Jingxi said, "Take it away."
The old bustard was dumbfounded all of a sudden, and struggled to shout, "Wait! Didn't you say you want to intercede for me?! I've already given you everything!"
Wen Yantong pretended to shrug helplessly, "I've already begged for you, but the young master is stern and selfless, and won't accept my plea, you can go at ease."
After the old bustard was dragged down, the girls in the Qinmo building hid in the door and did not dare to come out again. Wen Yantong saw that everything was in his hands and there was no need to go in again, so he turned to thank Chi Jingxi, "Thank you tonight Yantong is extremely grateful for the help of Master Xiaohou."
Chi Jingxi said, "How to repay?"
Wen Yantong looked at him in confusion, "Repay, repay? How about... I treat you to a meal?"
Originally, he asked with a tentative heart, but according to Chi Jingxi's temperament in the past, he naturally refused.
But unexpectedly, he responded, "Yes."
Is this still the Chi Jingxi who twisted his eyebrows into a straight line when he saw her, eager to walk around the road?
Wen Yantong was surprised in his heart, but he didn't dare to show it on his face, he just said, "Where does the young master want to eat?"
"Go to Shuoyue Restaurant." Chi Jingxi said, "It's just in front."
Mu Yang answered quickly, "It's not that good..."
Wen Yantong looked at him, "What's wrong? Why is it bad?"
Mu Yang smiled, looked at Chi Jingxi, saw that Chi Jingxi didn't react at all, so he could only bite the bullet and said, "That place costs money, I'm afraid you don't have enough."
Wen Yantong let out a cheer, and raised a large amount of banknotes in his hand, "Don't worry, even four of you can feed you enough today."
Fu Zixian, who had a very low sense of presence, said, "It's really not good... What if the time is delayed and the academy is closed when I go back?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Chi Jingxi glanced over indifferently, as if with pressure, warning him not to ruin his own business. Fu Zixian immediately shut up, shrank his neck, and said nothing more.
Wen Yantong thought about it seriously, "Indeed, why don't we choose another day, anyway, we can take a rest tomorrow, and tomorrow is fine."
"Just today. I'll send someone to take you back after eating, and you won't be locked out." Said the powerful Chi Jingxi.
Since he was so persistent, Wen Yantong couldn't refuse anymore, so he agreed, "Okay, let's go together."
Fu Zixian said, "Then I, I will go back home first..."
"Farewell, Wen Yantong is gone, you should come too." Mu Yang said, "There are so many people."
Fu Zixian said, "I can't go home too late, or my father will blame me."
This is an excuse. Wen Yantong knew it right away, Prime Minister Fu didn't have so much time to blame an unremarkable concubine for returning home late, but the aunt or brothers and sisters in the backyard would sneer a few words.
But Fu Zixian made it clear that he didn't want to go, and Wen Yantong couldn't force him, so he was about to say a few words for him, but Chi Jingxi said, "Let's go together."
Wen Yantong glanced at Chi Jingxi in horror, and immediately regretted agreeing to go to Shuoyue Restaurant.
Abnormal, very abnormal! Chi Jingxi must be holding back some ideas, no wonder Mu Yang had a weird expression when he heard that he was going to Shuoyue Restaurant just now.
It's just that the conversation has reached this point, it is impossible for Wen Yantong to turn her back and say no, and with Chi Jingxi's temperament, even if she doesn't go, she will be held back. His mother fell into Chi Jingxi's trap without knowing it!
After hearing Chi Jingxi's opening, Fu Zixian didn't dare to say that he wanted to go home, so he had to follow behind to Shuoyue Restaurant.
Wen Yantong silently folded up the bank note and carried it in his bosom, copied it in his sleeves with both hands, and followed behind the two with his neck shrunk.
Shuoyue restaurant is not far from Qinmo building, it is diagonally opposite, and it is only a few steps away.
The decoration of this restaurant is much more magnificent than that of Qinmolou, with all red lanterns, dark green tile roofs, pillars and eaves embroidered with various patterns and auspicious animals, and there are two statues taller than Wen Yantong sitting at the door Stone beast statue. The whole looks quite atmospheric.
Standing at the door were four and a half-year-old teenagers, two men and two women. When they saw Chi Jingxi, they immediately bent over and saluted, "I've seen you, Young Master."
As soon as the sound was heard, the people inside immediately raised the vermilion cotton curtains.
Chi Jingxi was obviously a frequent visitor here, walked into the building without looking sideways, and brought two strangers, Wen Yantong and Fu Zixian, into the restaurant.
There are two big pillars in sight, one is engraved with a bird with long tail feathers, which doesn't look like a phoenix, and the other is engraved with a fox-like dog and beast, with exquisitely carved glazed stones inlaid on the eyes, which is quite dazzling.
The house is extremely warm, as if the central air conditioner is turned on. The servants inside were also in an orderly position. After seeing Chi Jingxi, the two people standing in the back came up to meet him, and half bent their waists to lead Chi Jingxi upstairs.
Wen Yantong didn't dare to say anything. This restaurant is completely different from Crispy Fragrant Restaurant. Although the Crispy Fragrance Building has a big ostentation, it is very lively. There are all kinds of people inside, and the lobby is very noisy. But it's different here, there are no tables and chairs in the lobby at all, all the guests are invited upstairs.
So the building was quite quiet, and the smell of burning incense was still in the air, which made Wen Yantong, who had never seen the world much, a little nervous.
The second floor is a winding corridor, in which there are various private rooms, each room is far apart. The person who led the way in front directly led people to the innermost private room.
As soon as the door was pushed open, the voice of talking and laughing could be faintly heard from inside, and someone shouted, "Hey, you two are finally here!"
Wen Yantong went in behind Mu Yang, first poked her head in, but met the surprised eyes of a table of strangers, so she immediately retracted her head.
Chi Jingxi was really holding back bad ideas! Bring her to a Hongmen banquet!
