Da Bong fights more people

It seems that Xu Qi'an is the only one absent from work today, nodding his head and saying: "I see, after I ask for leave, I will go back home with you."
After asking for leave, Xu Qi'an sat on horseback and trotted towards the Xu Mansion, while Xiao Zhang, the son of the concierge Lao Zhang, trotted beside him.
Two quarters of an hour later, they arrived at Xu's Mansion not far from the Yamen. Xu Qi'an handed over the reins to Xiao Zhang and went straight into the mansion.
As soon as he entered the outer courtyard, he saw the cooks walking towards the inner courtyard with plates of hot dishes, steamed buns, and rice.
"Da Lang is back." The cooks breathed a sigh of relief, and while talking, they turned their eyes to the inner courtyard:
"A girl came to the house and said she was looking for you and asked what was the relationship with you. She couldn't explain clearly herself, and she couldn't understand nine out of ten sentences."
Nine out of ten sentences were hard to hear. Number five's Southern Xinjiang accent was a bit heavy. Xu Qi'an complained, and entered the inner courtyard with the cook, and heard Xu Lingyue's gentle voice from the inner hall from a distance:
"Miss Lina came all the way from southern Xinjiang, why are you looking for my elder brother?"
"I'm not here to find your elder brother, I'm here to find a few friends and practice casually." A voice with a heavy accent sounded, speaking half-baked official dialect.
But the sound is like a silver bell, crisp and sweet, very nice.
"That means you don't know my elder brother?"
"do not know."
In a few words, I found out the details. This girl doesn't look very smart, and it has nothing to do with her elder brother. Xu Lingyue warmly entertained Lina.
My aunt sat on a chair not far away, frowning slightly, and looked at Lina with a little hostility.
This foreign woman really knows how to eat. In half an hour, she ate the family's three-day ration, and if converted into silver, it would be more than ten taels.
This is because my aunt specially asked the cook to prepare some rice noodles, steamed buns and vegetarian dishes. If there are big fish and big meat, how much money will it cost?
Who can afford such a girl.
"Miss Lina? What are you doing at my house?"
Xu Qi'an stepped on the threshold, looking at the little pretty girl from southern Xinjiang with a look of surprise.Compared with the pale face that was injured yesterday, she now has a ruddy complexion and bright eyes, as if her injuries have healed.
"Daoist Jin Lian asked me to come to you and said that I will stay with you during the time I'm in Beijing. Thank you Master Xu for saving your life."
Lina quickly put down her chopsticks, swallowed the food, and looked at Xu Qi'an generously.
She thought that when she came to the capital, the person who received her would be Taoist Jinlian, No. [-], or No. [-] and No. [-].Unexpectedly, she ended up living in a strange man's house.
Daoist Jin Lian had already told her about yesterday's incident that Lina knew that this handsome young Yin Luo was her savior.
Since he is a trusted friend of the Taoist priest, Lina also trusts him unreservedly.
She called me Master Xu, not No. [-]. Xu Qi'an stared at Lina for a moment, unable to see the clue from those clear and innocent green eyes.
Why did Daoist Jinlian arrange her by my side?What is the meaning of this?
The old silver coin did not discuss with me before doing this. Judging from my experience in dealing with the old silver coins, if there is a prior discussion, there is no plan.
If there is no prior discussion, there must be deep meaning.
So Xu Qi'an asked: "What else did the Taoist priest tell you?"
Lina took a bite of the steamed bun, and said vaguely: "Master Jinlian said that you are his best friend he met in the capital, so I can just stay at home with peace of mind."
Swallowing the steamed buns, she said angrily and aggrieved: "The priest said that I can eat too much and cannot support me."
Ah, Xu Qi'an's face was dull, so the reason why Jinlian sent her to me was because she was too hungry to support her?
This is really an unassailable reason. For the same reason, No. [-] who lives in a nursing home and No. [-] who relies on old friends for food and lodging cannot afford to support the little pretty girl from southern Xinjiang.
Damn it, it feels so bad to be treated as a big dog. People are floating in the rivers and lakes. Either you whore for nothing or me for nothing. Retribution Xu Qi'an sighed: "That's how it is."
"Cough cough!"
My aunt coughed hard, showing her sense of presence as a housewife.
But Xu Qi'an ignored her, and said to himself: "Okay, I'll let someone arrange a room for you right away."
"Xu Ning Banquet!!"
My aunt screamed angrily, got up from the chair, pinched her waist, and glared at each other angrily: "I'm your aunt, you, don't you think about discussing it with me?"
As he spoke, he glanced frequently at the messy dining table, and told his hapless nephew that this girl was a bottomless pit.
Xu Qi'an hesitated for a moment, her aunt's consideration was very reasonable, the price in the capital is expensive, this girl can eat so much, it is really a waste of money.
Moreover, my luck has changed recently, instead of picking up money, I changed to accumulating reputation, and then, Wei Yuan deducted my salary again.
"Brother, did you forget the chicken essence?"
At this time, Xu Lingyue opened her mouth, and she made a calculation for Xu Qi'an: "The salt transportation yamen in the capital issued two thousand catties of salt tickets last year, and made a profit of 5000 taels, of which the elder brother took 500% and got [-] taels. You Si Tianjian has never come back yet.
"I asked the officials of the Yanyun Yamen that the imperial court plans to open at least ten workshops this year to make chicken essence, and when the settlement is made at the end of this year, it will be an unimaginably huge fortune.
"So, our family has no shortage of money."
Xu Lingyue's "salt ticket" refers only to chicken essence.Now chicken essence, like salt, has become an important strategic material of the imperial court.It was born last year, and it cannot be mass-produced, but after expanding the production scale this year, the profits are immeasurable.
If you don’t tell me, I really forgot that it must be that bad old man in the prison who blocked the chicken essence, so that I can’t remember it. He wanted to cheat me for money.
Xu Qi'an was pleasantly surprised to find that he was actually Papa Ma in this era.
Lina didn't understand at all, but she thought it was amazing. She came all the way from southern Xinjiang to the capital, and knew what a copper plate could buy, and what a penny could buy.
At the same time, I also know how difficult it is to earn money.
Subconsciously, she looked at this "Master Xu", with pure admiration in her eyes, just like a little girl seeing her neighbor's elder brother ironing instant noodles, wearing jeans, with a decorative iron chain hanging around his waist, at home Hip-hop dancing in the yard.
"Why didn't I know about this?" Aunt asked suspiciously.
"Don't you know, aunt? I asked Lingyue to tell you." Xu Qi'an looked at his sister.
Xu Lingyue looked bewildered: "Mom, maybe you forgot."
My aunt opened her mouth and was speechless. She wasn't sure if she had forgotten, and she had no impression of such a large "profit".
At this time, Lina asked with an adoring tone, "May I ask Mr. Xu's name."
This way of questioning was something she learned when Dafeng wandered around the world.
"Xu Qi'an!"
"Xu, Xu Qi'an" Lina tilted her head, thought for a long time, and suddenly screamed: "You are Xu Qi'an, didn't you die in Yunzhou?"
