Chapter 185: Borrowing Money
The antidote girl picked up the tea cup and took a sip. The rising mist in the tea cup blew on her fair face and gradually dissipated.
She is still dressed as a man. He wears his hair in a prince's bun and wears men's clothes. However, she did not restrain herself with yellow powder and breast binding in vain, letting her feminine face and proud breasts tell her gender.
He Yunxiao looked at the girl in front of him, her majestic and charming red phoenix eyes, and the enchanting tear mole under the corner of her eye. Anyway, he felt very regretful.
Why did you make the decision to give up on the antidote girl? Is it because I'm not horny anymore, or is she not beautiful anymore?
Then, a woman holding a sword appeared quietly. He stood behind the antidote girl without saying a word.
This woman concealed her cultivation level, and He Yunxiao, who was at the ninth level of cultivation, was not aware of this woman's strength at all.
He Yunxiao himself is at the ninth level. If he couldn't notice it, the strength of the woman holding the sword would only be at the ninth level or higher.
calm down.
Do not impulse.
The antidote is Meng Qingqian's confidant, a member of the Li family in Jiangnan. Based on her bad-tempered character and the power she holds, she is destined to be extremely powerful when getting along with her.
With his current strength, it is already very difficult just to prevent Zi Ruo's wife and Chu Chu from colliding with each other. Add in the antidote girl that he can't control at all, and he will end up with a "separation of man and machine".
You still have to develop and gain strength first.
Borrow money!
It was the first time He Yunxiao borrowed money from a girl, and he was a little unskilled. "Ahem, Miss Li, you don't have to go to the Three Treasures Hall for anything. I'm here today..."
Meng Qingqian put down the tea cup and said with a playful smile: "Want a book?"
Book?
Damn it! Does she still remember those good martial arts novels that I buried under the tree?
His grandma's, for fun, right?
Want to trick me?
He Yunxiao put aside his original fantasy about the antidote girl and concentrated on pretending to be stupid, "Book? What book?"
Meng Qingqian studied He Yunxiao's expression and found that he seemed to really not know about the book.
"It's nothing, go on."
After this round of fights, He Yunxiao deeply felt what "bad water" meant, and he simply did not learn how a serious young master should respect his face or use etiquette. In front of Nanzhu's wife and Ziruo's wife, you need to lose face. But in front of Sister Jiang and Miss Ji Yao, you can't lose face.
"Oh. Then I said, Miss Li, I want to borrow money."
Meng Qingqian frowned slightly.
She originally thought that He Yunxiao came to her specifically at night to get back those unsightly martial arts novels, but she never thought that He Yunxiao was here to borrow money.
"You want to borrow money?"
He Yunxiao nodded, "Not bad."
Meng Qingqian didn't understand.
I am not related to him, so why should he borrow money from me?
The Hou Mansion is already so strapped that it needs He Yunxiao to lend money?
Is the Hou Mansion in a tight situation?
The betrothal gift is doubled.
A betrothal gift is not enough to burden the Hou family, could it be doubled?
He Yuanhao still wants to take advantage of me despite insisting on double the betrothal gift?
Was it just a pretense that he pretended to agree to marry Nanzhu in front of his mother?
Why does he, Marquis Wu Qing, insist on trying to influence me? What benefits can I bring to Wu Qinghou Mansion?
Meng Qingqian looked at the careless heir of the Hou Mansion in front of him, and still didn't understand the importance of He Yunxiao's borrowing money.
I thought too much for a while, and my head ached.
I couldn't help but rub my temples.
He Yunxiao:?
Antidote Girl What does this mean? Don't want to borrow it?
Meng Qingqian frowned and said, "Come here, bring me a plate of candied fruits."
The maid moved quickly, as if she had already prepared it, and a plate of sweet and sour preserves was brought to the tea table.
Meng Qingqian picked up the small tongs placed on the plate, picked up a piece and ate it in his mouth. The headache is relieved a lot.
"What did you borrow the money for?" she asked He Yunxiao.
He Yunxiao didn't intend to hide it. Judging from the power that Miss Antidote had at her disposal, if she wanted to know, she couldn't hide it from her.
He spread his hands and said, "I'm going to open a store and I'm short of money."
"Open a store? You want to do business?"
He Yunxiao nodded. "no?"
In ancient times, there were scholars, farmers, industry and merchants. Although merchants were rich, their status was the lowest.
For the legitimate son of a dignified prince to go into business, it is no less than a capital tycoon immigrating from a beautiful country to Mali and going through all kinds of troubles to lower his status. What is the purpose?
Meng Qingqian looked at He Yunxiao with a strange look, "Okay."
He Yunxiao was also unambiguous, his goal was very clear. "That's fine, let's borrow money."
"I won't borrow it." Meng Qingqian refused simply.
Although the Hou Mansion and He Yunxiao's purpose cannot be seen clearly now, in the final analysis, Wu Qinghou is Han Wenxin's person. Lend money to He Yunxiao? What is that if it's not capitalizing on the enemy?
He Yunxiao: Don’t want to borrow? Fortunately, I was prepared.
He Yunxiao took out a wooden box from his arms, placed it on the table, and slowly opened it facing the antidote girl.
There was a handkerchief folded neatly in the box, like a rare treasure.
Meng Qingqian couldn't hold himself any longer.
She took another candied fruit and threw it into her mouth, chewing it hard!
He Yunxiao showed his businessman's shrewdness and said, "Miss Li, lend me the money. It's yours."
Meng Qingqian said calmly: "What is this?"
He Yunxiao held the box containing the handkerchief in his hand and showed it, "As you can see, it's an ordinary handkerchief."
"This girl is not interested in handkerchiefs."
He Yunxiao didn't panic. "Although this handkerchief is ordinary, it has a story. It was one morning, in the garden of Lujiao Academy, a woman..."
Meng Qingqian closed her eyes and said, "Everyone go out. Jian Ling, you go out too."
Jian Ling looked at He Yunxiao deeply. In her impression, Princess Xiaoyue had never been teased like this.
After Jian Ling walked away, He Yunxiao smiled and said, "Are you not pretending anymore?"
"I don't understand what you are saying." Meng Qingqian remained calm.
"Okay," He Yunxiao continued, "Then I will continue. In the morning, in the garden of Lujiao Academy, I saw a beautiful woman dressed in men's clothes. This woman was not doing anything, but actually stole the fruit from the fruit trees in other people's yard..."
Meng Qingqian ate a candied fruit, then another, and then another.
"Have you finished? Your story is meaningless." After He Yunxiao finished, she smiled with relief.
"Really?"
Now that the initiative is in his hands, He Yunxiao is not panicked at all.
He took the handkerchief out of the box, played with it for a while, and then said, "Oh, I was too tired just now, I need to wipe my mouth."
There is no connection between being too tired and wiping the mouth, but the focus now is not He Yunxiao's words, but his actions.
He held the handkerchief in his hand, and slowly moved it towards his lips as if kissing a treasure.
Meng Qingqian's pupils slowly enlarged as the distance between his lips and the handkerchief got closer.
There was his own saliva on it...
If it was touched...
Then...
A strong sense of shame swept over his body, and his mind was blank. Meng Qingqian couldn't think of anything else at all.
"You, don't, don't..."
He Yunxiao scared the antidote girl and put the handkerchief back into the box.
"Borrow money, 100,000 taels."
Tapping his fingers on the table, He Yunxiao was not afraid that the antidote girl would not agree.
