Chapter 29 The Merchant's Daughter (29)

Led by Shopkeeper Tong, the dilapidated carriage turned and turned around, and after walking for a quarter of an hour, it finally stopped in front of a house.

There are two lions guarding the gate in front of the gate, red lanterns hanging on both sides, two carved gates on the bluestone steps, and two gold-plated characters of "Mafu" on the lintel shining in the sun.

Lan Xi lifted the curtain and looked at Mafu to Tubuyang dressed up and said with a smile, "Clear sky, knock on the door."

"Yes, master."

Before the words were finished, shopkeeper Tong saw a figure flying over, and then there was a knock on the tiger's head door knocker.

After a while, there was a creak, and a sleepy boy in royal blue clothes opened the door, "Who is it? It's broad daylight?"

"My master wants to see Ma Laoliu." Qingkong said.

"Who is your master?" The young man stretched out his head and saw the broken carriage parked in front of the mansion, and said impatiently: "What the hell, my master can see anyone he wants, just roll."

Qingkong grabbed the boy by the collar and lifted him up, "What are you talking about? Who should get out?"

The boy was being held by the neck, and there was no fear on his face, "Put me down quickly, do you know where this place is? If you say no visitors, you won't see them. If you are sensible, please put me down quickly."

"Call in and let Ma Laoliu come out to meet me in person." Lan Xi's voice came from the carriage.

With Lan Xi's order, Qing Kong kicked open the door, and rushed inside with the servant in his arms.

"Fuck, who are you guys..."

"Come here, someone has committed a murder in the mansion..." The servant was a little bit desperate now, and shouted with his throat torn.

Hearing the movement, the guard picked up the guys and rushed towards the clear sky. The guards are all five big and three rough-faced people, holding wooden sticks, knives and guns in their hands. If you are an ordinary person, you will definitely be terrified when you see this battle Unexpectedly, Qingkong threw the boy forward with a flick of his hand, then grabbed the big knife from the person in front and chopped off the big stick in the other person's hand.

"If you don't want to die, go and ask Ma Laoliu to come out to meet my master." After Qingkong finished speaking, he threw the big knife in his hand in front of the nurse, and with a bang, the big knife pierced deeply into the bluestone floor.

"It's hard work!" Seeing Qingkonglu's hand, the nurse took a deep breath, and stepped back involuntarily. Qingzhou City might not find many people who can pierce the bluestone slab casually. People.

The boy who was being held by the neck just now, saw this, and ran to the backyard to report.

Qingkong stood there calmly, holding his luck. The half-dead nurse who was frightened by Qingkong looked at me and I looked at you, but he didn't dare to move rashly.

It's not that they are cowardly, it's just that the idea is too hard to chew on.

"Yes, who wants to see me?"

Not long after, a chubby figure moved away from the nursing home and appeared in front of the clear sky. The nursing home saw Master Ma coming and let out a sigh of relief, "Master, this girl's master."

Ma Laoliu glanced at the long knife pierced into the bluestone slab, and his round face instantly burst into a bright smile: "Quickly stand aside, I will personally welcome your master."

"Please, Master Ma." Qingkong turned sideways and followed Ma Laoliu. Seeing this, the guards lined up obediently in two rows, one on the left and one on the right.

"I don't know which great god it is, no, which god of wealth is here, and I hope you will forgive me if you don't entertain well." Ma Laoliu went out of the gate and walked towards the broken carriage in a straight line.

"Ma Laoliu, how did you become so old and fat?" Lan Xi opened the curtain and smiled and looked at Ma Laoliu, who the original owner hadn't seen in more than ten years.

"What... old? Fat?" Would you like to not bring such a shameless person?
When the nurse and the boy heard this, they tried their best to hold back their laughter. When Ma Laoliu saw clearly who was opening the curtain, his tongue was tied and he stammered: "Blue, blue, blue ...Miss Lan, it's you."

The scene of the meeting more than ten years ago suddenly appeared in front of his eyes, and Ma Laoliu felt a bitterness in his mouth, it's not good in the past, why did he meet this aunt again.

"Master Ma, won't you invite me to the Ma Mansion?"

"Please, please, Miss Lan, please." Ma Laoliu respectfully greeted Lan Xi from the dilapidated carriage.

"Master Ma, I haven't seen you doing well in Qingzhou for more than ten years."

"If there is, let's just do it. I owe it to Ms. Lan. Ms. Lan, you'd better call me Ma Laoliu. I don't feel comfortable calling me Master Ma." Ma Laoliu led the way with a flattering smile on his face.

"Your mansion is well decorated." Lan Xi looked at the various decorations in the huge Ma mansion that smelled of money, and knew that Ma Lao Liu had made a lot of money over the years.

"I'm afraid of being poor. Now that I have some spare money, I just want to live a better life."

"Well, this fits your personality very well." If the decoration of the Ma Mansion was light and elegant, would Lan Xi definitely think that the chubby Ma Laoliu in front of him was the same as the Ma Laoliu who was thinner than a bamboo pole more than ten years ago? the same person.

"Miss Lan, please take a seat." Ma Laoliu led Lan Xi to sit down in the main hall, brewed a pot of tea himself, and finished it next time.

Lan Xi lifted the lid, and the tea in the teacup was green and clear, smelling the fragrance of the tea, which lingered for a long time, "One tael of gold is exchanged for one tael of Hanshan Maojian tea leaves."

"When a distinguished guest comes, it is natural to treat them with the best tea. I don't know what kind of business Ms. Lan is in Qingzhou this time." Ma Laoliu asked.

Lan Xi picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea, "If there is business, it's still big business."

"Then I wish Miss Lan a smooth business and a lot of money." Ma Laoliu said with a smile.

Lan Xi glanced at Ma Laoliu and took another sip of tea, then put down the teacup in his hand, "It's not that I wish you a lot of money, but you."

"I wish myself, Miss Lan was joking, your Lan family also wants to get involved in the casino business? Don't play tricks on me, how is this possible?"

"The Lan family has never been involved in the casino business. Today I'm talking to you about another business."

Ma Laoliu's eyes rolled quickly, "Could it be that Miss Lan is referring to the grain business?"

"Ma Lao Liu, I didn't realize that you, a gambler, know that the grain merchants in Xiyao recently raised the price to collect grain?" Hearing Ma Lao Liu's words, Lan Xi was even more sure that it was the right time to come to Ma Mansion.

"It's no secret that Xiyao collected food in a big way." Ma Laoliu wiped his cold sweat after he finished speaking. Why did he speak so fast? In the eyes of ordinary people, he is a casino owner who cares about food. The price is nothing, and the right is just a few nagging, but in the eyes of caring people, there is a problem, and it is still a big problem.

Silently following behind Lan Xi, the non-existent Shopkeeper Tong glanced at Ma Laoliu with complicated eyes: "Master Ma, as far as I know, the only people who know that Xiyao's wanton collection of grain is only among the grain merchants."
