Chapter 48: A Mistake (Part )

After entering the North City, Xiao Xia came to Erjia Lane, but wondered if Lao Liu was at home.

"Sixth Brother!" Xiao Xia shouted at his door.

With a flash of his figure, Lao Liu appeared in front of Xiao Xia. He asked in surprise, "Xiao Qilang, why are you here?"

"Were you fired by them too?"

Lao Liu quickly shook his head, "No! I went to clean and tidy up for them in the afternoon."

At this time, Xiao Xia looked back and saw several people coming out of his old house. He quickly pulled Lao Liu aside and asked in a low voice: "Has your family not received my old house yet?"

Lao Liu said with a bitter face: "Third Master is not in Jiangdu, so he can't help. Now it is under the management of Butler Liu. There are too many people asking for help, and he can't make a decision."

Xiao Xia was puzzled because Balang's father was in Jiangdu!

His mind suddenly turned, and he realized that Xiao Yu was unwilling to help.

"Then you can also ask Butler Liu for it!"

"Yes! My father also wants to find a connection with Butler Liu, but it costs money to find a connection! How can there be extra money at home?"

Lao Liu sighed softly, if only his family could get it, then his father could sit in the yard and bask in the sun, how nice it would be!
Xiao Xia smiled and said, "Now that your business has come to you, you can make a lot of money by running errands."

Xiao Xia took out ten taels of silver and stuffed it into his pocket. Lao Liu was shocked and said, "Xiao Qilang, I can't take your money anymore."

"This is not my money. It's the errand money given by the customer?"

"Errand money?"

The ten taels of silver for running errands overturned Lao Liu's cognition.

Xiao Xia did not explain, and asked again: "How much is a serving of the eight fresh spring delicacies at Guanyun Tower?"

"Not counting the lotus wine, which costs 1,500 coins, the lotus wine costs 2 coins!"

"Go buy one for two strings of cash and have it delivered to Building 22 of the Qiyun Inn. Do you know where the Qiyun Inn is?"

"Of course I know. The best inn in Jiangdu is in Shugang outside the north city. I've been there several times!"

"That's right! Send it there quickly, and the remaining silver will be yours."

Lao Liu's eyes widened. "No way! So much? Eight taels! That's too much!"

"So your fortune is here, seize the opportunity."

"Xiao Qilang, let's split it in half!"

"No! Use eight taels of silver to buy some valuables for Steward Liu, and the yard will be yours. Do you understand?"

Lao Liu was about to cry. Eight taels of silver! How many months would it take him to earn that?

He wiped his tears and said, "Xiao Qilang, thank you!"

"Not so polite!"

Xiao Xia unloaded the bag from the donkey and led the donkey to him. "Ride my donkey. Remember, Building 22. Don't make the wrong delivery!"

Lao Liu nodded, "I'll go right away!"

He went home, closed the door, and rode on the donkey. Xiao Xia instructed him again, "Return the donkey directly to the mule and horse shop opposite the Warriors' Courtyard when you come back. You don't have to give it to me."

"I know, Xiao Qilang, I'll go first!"

Lao Liu rode his donkey to Guanyun Tower first. Xiao Xia called an ox cart and went to South City.

Xiao Xia gave all his money to Zhang Jue as travel expenses, and he only had a few hundred coins left.

This was actually his character in his previous life. He was very loyal to his friends and would help them with all his heart when they were in trouble.

Xiao Xia was not worried either, because he knew there were Xiao Huan Dan in the box. One Xiao Huan Dan could be sold for thirty strings of cash. He also sold two hundred and eighty Tiger and Leopard Pills. Although he had not received the money yet, Xiao Zhurong had promised to collect all the money for the medicine within this month.

What does it mean to spend all your money and make it back? This is it.

..........
Lao Liu took two food boxes and rode his donkey all the way to Qiyun Inn. He had delivered meals here several times and was familiar with the place. He quickly found Building 22.

Lao Liu leaned over to take a look and saw a young man in a brocade robe standing in front of the window, so he asked, "Excuse me, is this the meal you ordered, young master? The Eight Delicacies of Guanyun Tower."

The young man was Chai Shao, who was waiting for Xiao Xia. His wife complained to him that he did not understand the ways of the world and gave the silver to someone else without knowing him at all. Although ten taels of silver was a drop in the bucket for them, they felt bad about being cheated.

Chai Shao recognized the donkey at a glance, but it was not the same young man as before.

"I ordered it, but it wasn't you just now! It was another guy in your store."

Lao Liu was confused. Another guy? Who is that?
"Excuse me, what does that man look like?" "He's riding the same donkey as you, don't you know?"

Lao Liu immediately understood and said with a smile: "He is not a clerk in our store, he is my brother, and he asked me to come here."

Chai Shao felt a little disappointed. The other party made money but gave the job to someone else. He thought he had misjudged the person.

"Bring it here!"

Lao Liu jumped off the donkey and came forward with the food box. Chai Shao opened the door, took the food box and asked, "Do you have any wine?"

"Yes! Yes! Lotus sake. My brother specifically asked me to give it to you."

"Why doesn't your brother come in person?" Chai Shao couldn't help but ask.

Lao Liu scratched his head and said embarrassedly: "Didn't you give me too much reward? My family is in urgent need of money, so he gave me this opportunity."

"Oh! So that's what happened."

Chai Shao felt relieved immediately. This was a young man who was loyal and righteous! How rare! How rare!

"Aren't you brothers?"

Li Ping appeared behind her husband and asked puzzledly.

"No! We are both illegitimate children of the Xiao family. He is my good friend and also my brother. I work as a clerk in Guanyun Building, and he is not!"

"The Xiao family?"

Li Ping's heart moved. Wasn't Zhang Jue the head coach of the Xiao family's martial arts school before?

"What does your brother do?"

"He is a third-level warrior of the Xiao family."

Li Ping gently hit her husband's shoulder and said with a smile: "I knew it! That child knows martial arts and is a third-level warrior!"

Lao Liu bowed and said, "Then I will leave first."

"Wait a moment!"

Li Ping asked, "Since you are a member of the Xiao family, do you know Zhang Jue, the head coach of the Xiao family martial arts school?"

"Manager Zhang? He's long gone. He left at the beginning of the month."

"Oh! He is an old friend of ours. We came all the way from the capital to Jiangdu to visit him. Do you know where he went?"

Lao Liu scratched his head and said, "I don't know, maybe Xiao Qilang knows. He is very familiar with Zhang Zongguan. I will ask for you."

"Xiao Qilang is your brother?"

"It's him. There's nothing else. I'm leaving now. I'll ask for you guys later."

Li Ping accidentally found clues about Zhang Jue. How could she let Lao Liu leave so easily?

"Don't rush to leave. We just arrived in Jiangdu and don't know anything about it. You are a local, can you introduce Jiangdu to us?"

The other party gave eight taels of silver! How could I refuse?

Lao Liu nodded, "Okay! If you want to know about Jiangdu's customs and practices, I can tell you. I've heard a lot about this at Guanyun Restaurant."

Chai Shao already understood his wife's thoughts. Although he was reluctant, he had no choice but to force a smile and said, "Come in and sit down! Have a cup of hot tea."

"Then excuse me!"

In the rented house, Xiao Xia opened the box, which contained two large bags of pills, each containing hundreds of pills, one bag of Vajra Pills and one bag of Spring Rain Pills.

Then there was a small bag with words written on it, 'Xiao Huan Dan and recipe!'

Xiao Xia opened the bag, revealing a roll of rustic leather and about thirty pills. The leather was covered with prescriptions, and the method of making the medicine was written on the back.

Xiao Xia thought about it and put the small Huandan bag into his arms. Of course, he had to keep a copy of such a precious prescription for himself.

Finally, there was an envelope with a line of words written by Zhang Jue on it.

"Xiao Qilang, with the half-piece of the plaque and the ticket in this envelope, you can go to Jiangdu Baocheng Counter to withdraw 1,000 strings of cash."

"what!"

Xiao Xia was stunned for a moment. Zhang Jue actually left her a thousand strings of cash.
