One stole the white jade Pegasus given by the late emperor, and the other stole a family heirloom.
For some reason, the more Li Qinzai looked at Xue Ne, the more he liked him. There was always a mysterious feeling of sympathy in his heart when he looked at him.
The prodigal son cherishes the prodigal son and shares the same goals. Crouching dragon and phoenix chick are nothing more than that.
Judging from Xue Ne's behavior after losing his fortune, he still has a sense of shame, at least he looks ashamed now.
"Can you just redeem your heirloom?" Li Qinzai suggested.
"A good idea..." Xue Ne nodded, then glared at him: "You think I can't think of it? The problem is that there is no money to redeem, and all the money has been spent."
"A prodigal son..." Li Qinzai couldn't help but shook his head and sighed: "If I had such a son, I would definitely hang him up and beat him. The whip would be dipped in salt water and whipped hard. If I can't hear your screams within a mile, I'm being merciful... …”
Xue Ne's face darkened: "Brother Jingchu, you've gone too far. If you're a prodigal, even my foolish brother can't catch up with you. Have you forgotten about the white jade Pegasus?"
Li Qinzai's expression remained unchanged. As long as his mind was strong enough, others could not hurt him. I didn't do that, I just took the blame.
"How much does it cost to redeem your Xue family's heirloom?" Li Qinzai asked.
Xue Ne thought for a while and said: "The knife was sold for fifteen guan that day. If you want to redeem it, there are two ways. One is to redeem it at the original price, but you need to call more people to build momentum. The shopkeeper meets me. With so much power, I dare not deny it.”
"The second is to redeem it at a high price. It will cost about twenty guan. After all, it is impossible to buy back something at the original price if it is in the hands of the shopkeeper."
Li Qinzai was stunned: "Why didn't you go and rob it? Everyone was screaming, so we just ransacked the whole store. We were doing business without capital and didn't spend a penny."
Xue Ne hesitated for a moment and sighed: "It's possible, but I'm not brave enough or thick-skinned enough. I really can't do such a crazy thing, and it won't end well afterwards. I'm afraid my father won't let me go." …”
Li Qinzai became more and more stunned. Is this guy serious? Was he really considering his proposal just now?
"I'll give you the money," Li Qinzai sighed: "I'll ask someone to go to the accountant to withdraw twenty guan later. You can quickly redeem the family heirloom. Next time..."
Xue Ne was overjoyed and hurriedly stood up and bowed his head and said thank you: "Thank you so much, Brother Jingchu, for your kindness in making money. My foolish brother has learned his lesson. Next time he steals a treasure from home, he must choose something inconspicuous."
Li Qinzai opened his mouth. What he actually wanted to say was, I am not short of money anymore. Just tell me if you need money next time...
I didn't expect this guy to want to steal the family's treasure.
If a child can be taught, let his father teach him.
Xue Ne suddenly reacted and said in surprise: "No, you can withdraw twenty guan from your own accountant? When did your father be so generous to you?"
Li Qinzai smiled reservedly: "Because my father's dog, that is, me, can make money for the family and make a lot of money."
"Make...a lot of money?" Xue Na was stunned.
"Have you heard about the beauty cream that has become popular in Chang'an recently?"
Xue Ne took a breath of cold air: "Did you make the beauty cream?"
"Just basic operations."
Xue Ne's face turned red quickly, and he was obviously excited: "Zhu Yan...I, your mother's maid! I only heard that it was sold in the Li family shop, but I didn't expect it to be you! When did Brother Jingchu have such ability? ?”
It is difficult to explain this matter. We probably have to start with Einstein’s theory of relativity, the earth’s magnetic field, and the mysterious black holes and parallel dimensions of the universe...
Li Qinzai decided to explain it in the most understandable way.
"I was walking in the backyard a few days ago, and I didn't offend anyone. Suddenly, a lightning strike from the Nine Heavens struck my head. At that moment, I understood all the truths in the world..." Li Qinzai said seriously.
Xue Ne was stunned for a moment, and his expression gradually became serious.
Seeing that he was silent for a long time, Li Qinzai asked in surprise: "What are you thinking about?"
Xue Na said seriously: "Foolish brother is thinking..."
"Thinking about what?"
"Think about how stupid I am in your eyes to make you think I would believe your nonsense."
Li Qinzai's mouth twitched, tsk, his IQ is online...
A friend who had just been beaten by his own father came to visit, and Li Qinzai felt that he should express his gratitude.
The mutton in the kitchen was almost marinated, so Li Qinzai ordered the cook to find a quiet open space in the backyard, set up a grill, and ordered people to fetch grape wine and Sanle pulp.
Arrange the barbecue with ice wine.
The sizzling lamb skewers on the grill are sprinkled with cumin, and a glass of ice-cold grape wine will enchant you.
The corners of Li Qinzai's mouth were filled with oil, and he let out a sigh of satisfaction.
I finally found a bit of the flavor of my previous life, and this is it.
The only fly in the ointment is that the wine is almost boring. Drinking grape wine is almost the same as grape juice in the previous life. Brewing beer these days is too difficult, so Li Qinzai is too lazy to study it, so he forgets it.
Xue Ne stared at all this in stunned silence.
He found that he couldn't understand Li Qinzai more and more. The two had been friends since childhood. Why was Li Qinzai becoming more and more unpredictable these days, and had he gained more abilities inexplicably?
In addition to the beauty cream that is currently popular in Chang'an, Xue Ne also knows that Li Qinzai has made a very powerful bow.
The day before yesterday, his father Xue Rengui came out from the weapons inspection and specially led the troops to test fire outside the city. The results were very surprising.
The powerful bow called the Divine Arm Bow could actually double the range. Xue Rengui shot an arrow two hundred steps away and hit the bullseye.
Why did a friend who grew up together suddenly have such unpredictable abilities?
Li Qinzai was very strange to Xue Ne at this moment, as if he had become a completely different person.
Li Qinzai was completely unaware of the thoughts that were constantly surging in Xue Ne's heart.
He was grilling meat skewers seriously.
As the meat skewers tumbled on the grill, Li Qinzai brushed the seasonings with a calm expression. His movements were very calm and his expression was very calm. He was like an enlightened monk reading scriptures. The noise in the world has nothing to do with him.
He was obviously eating meat, drinking wine, and doing the most vulgar things in the world, but in Xue Ne's eyes, Li Qinzai seemed to have a calm and peaceful Zen mood for some reason.
"Brother Jingchu, you have changed so much after the White Jade Pegasus incident." Xue Ne couldn't help but sigh.
Li Qinzai smiled and said: "After climbing out of the disaster, there will be some changes. You will live more clearly than before."
Xue Ne is only fourteen or fifteen years old. At his age, he cannot understand the words of someone who has lived two lifetimes.
"What is 'transparency'?"
"Transparency means living your own life, not disturbing others, and it is best for others not to disturb you. Like a lonely waste, avoid all the troubles in life, live in peace, eat and drink, and live your whole life."
Xue Ne said in confusion: "Brother Jingchu, I don't have much education, don't lie to me. Is this called 'transparent'? This is simply a lone star of evil, dying alone."
Li Qinzai smiled: "You can understand it this way."
For Xue Ne, his ability to understand can only reach this level. Only those who have experienced life will understand.
Li Qinzai is willing to choose loneliness because he is too unfamiliar with this world.
To this day, he is still like a calm bystander, looking at everything around him with cold eyes. He can't detach himself physically, but he still can't integrate mentally.
A modern person who is accustomed to mobile phones, computers, cars, and high-speed trains suddenly comes to this world that is thousands of years behind. If it is so easy to integrate into it, it would be too big.
Xue Na was thoughtful and suddenly slapped his thigh: "Speaking of trouble...Brother Jingchu had better not go out recently."
"Why?"
"Because you're in trouble."
"You'd better finish your narrative in one go, otherwise I won't be able to resist stabbing you with a bamboo skewer."
Xue Na laughed twice, and then said seriously: "Brother Jingchu, please don't go out recently. Many powerful people in Chang'an City will beat you if you let the news go."
Li Qinzai was stunned: "What have I done that makes people angry?"
