Chapter 213 Chongxi

"So I want to see my lady?" The servant suddenly realized that after hearing his identity, he finally had a little better attitude. However, after Su Yulong thought there was hope, he couldn't help but listen to the other party suddenly said coldly, "Then please, please come back!"

"Why? Please inform me!"

Su Yulong felt panicked, as if he had remembered something, and hurriedly handed over a piece of silver, "I'll buy you wine, food and drink for you."

"Oh, this is not a question of whether it's money or not."

The servant raised his eyebrows and accepted the money quietly. Perhaps he thought he was quite polite, so he explained more, "It's just that you and my lady are impossible. Why waste time? So you should ask him back."

"Do you know what the young man who just entered is?" He whispered mysteriously.

"I don't know." Su Yulong shook his head blankly.

"That's the young master of the Wu family, a great salt merchant. Here we are discussing a marriage with my master. This marriage is also our Xie family who has been competing with the Wu family. If it can be accomplished, there will be endless benefits. Even if you are the head of the county case, how can you compare to Mr. Wu?"

The servant sighed and probably envied Mr. Wu's life experience. After all, the Wu family is the largest salt merchant in this area. His family's wealth is several times stronger than that of the Xie family. He can even challenge the county magistrate. He thought about it with his toes. How could the Xie family give up such a thigh and not hug him, and instead believe that a poor boy who has not yet grown up and has only won the county test head?

"How could it be?!"

Hearing this, Su Yulong's face suddenly turned pale as paper. "Didn't Miss Xie get sick and bedridden a few days ago? How could she discuss the marriage now?!"

"Oh, this is called joy!" The servant said with a smile. "It is said that the master had been interested in marrying the Wu family, but the lady was sick some time ago, so she had to delay it. Now that the lady's health has improved, she seized the time to discuss the marriage, so she can also joy and get rid of the bad habit..."

"How could Miss Xie agree?" He still disbelief.

"This is the matchmaker's words, and the husband is such a good family, so how can the lady refuse?"

Speaking of this, the servant seemed to realize that he had talked too much to outsiders. He probably saw that the scholar had a good face and couldn't bear to be too shocked, so he comforted him a few more words. Then, seeing that his face was extremely bad, he couldn't bear to persuade him to think about it earlier and not to be foolish.

"How is it possible..."

Su Yulong slowly walked away from the gate of Xie Mansion in a daze. He couldn't help but look back and could vaguely hear the excitement in Xie Mansion, which should be discussing the marriage...

But he felt more and more coldly as if he was falling into an ice cellar, his fingertips trembled and his eyes were lost.

"How ridiculous..."

After trying his best, he finally won the head of the case. He eliminated the difficulties and obstacles. He thought everything would improve, but he finally got such an absurd result.

It seems that everything I did before was in vain, and the so-called position of the chief was not worth mentioning in the face of real power and money! A girl who cared about it for so long had to marry someone else when she was only one step away from her in the end!

How did this make him think?

His chest was pressing heavily like a huge rock, making him dizzy. The strong sadness almost made him unable to breathe for a moment. Even when he was walking in this street market where people were crowded, the warm sun shone on his body, he was like a walking corpse without any anger. His steps were staggering, and even if he hit someone and was scolded, he had no intention of paying attention.

In the end, he couldn't even see the other person for this last time.

Finally, he slowly stopped, looked down at the pot of wine in his hand, but a self-deprecating smile appeared in the corner of his mouth, with a bit of desolation that could not be concealed.

"In the end, I'm afraid there's no chance to send you out..."

It was already late at night, and the cold moonlight fell. There were fewer pedestrians and vendors on the bluestone road. From a distance, there were only two or three taverns with lanterns, which dispelled a little dimness. Through the fire, a few drunkards who were still buying drunk at night could be seen in the windows. From time to time, a few noisy punching and noise came, bringing a bit of long-lost noise to this quiet night.

At such nights, only such taverns will not close too early.

When Taoist Maestro passed one of the taverns, a cold wind blew by. It has to be said that the night of the beginning of autumn was still quite chilly. Even for a Taoist practitioner, he subconsciously tightened his slightly thin Taoist robe.

"It seems that my cultivation level is still not good. If I can be as good as the ancestors, I will save a lot of trouble as I am not afraid of the cold and heat..."

He couldn't help but sigh, looked around and smelled the faint smell of wine, and couldn't help swallowing.

"I haven't drunk for a long time, so why not buy some wine to warm up your body!"

With this idea, he turned around and picked a tavern and walked in. Suddenly, a little warmth in the room came, slightly dispelling the cool outside the room and making him feel much more comfortable.

"Waiter, give me a pot of good wine!" He stretched out his body and shouted.

"Okay, please wait..." The waiter's shout came from the counter, as if he was still serving wine.

There are not many customers at night, and just a waiter is busy with all the work in the store.

Taoist priest Tian glanced around and planned to find a seat to sit. There were two drunkards on the left, who were making noises and drinking, which really made people feel uncomfortable. Then he turned to the other side, but at this time he found a familiar figure.

The drunk young scholar was drinking wine in big gulps. His unfamiliar movements probably showed that the other party seemed not used to drinking. Every sip would be frown deeply by the spicy brows, but he still tried his best to drink himself, as if he was intentionally drunk and unconscious.

After a moment of reflection, he suddenly moved his heart and remembered that the other party seemed to be the black-toned young man he met when he was just released from the county government office!

This made him a little surprised. He subconsciously looked at the other party's eyes carefully, with a strange look.

After all, according to his observation at that time, this person's seal hall was so black that he was probably plagued by many evil spirits and his life was not long! But now he can still drink here like no one?

And when he looked at it again, he was surprised to find that all the ghost auras on this person had disappeared, and his complexion was rosy. Although he looked depressed, his spiritual consciousness was full and he was much healthier than a normal person. How could he have the appearance of dying?

But if you keep drinking so hard, you might even die of drinking...
