Chapter 302 The old man just wants a child, does it matter who it is?
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Three consecutive cannon shots rang out, and dazzling fireworks exploded under the night sky, brilliant and incomparable. The colorful lights and the rain of fire in the sky seemed to be the stars shaken off by the cheers in Shenluo City.
Tonight is the final night of the Flower City Conference!
This year's unique Flower City Conference opened among the blooming peonies in winter, and was much more popular than ever before.
This year's flowered silk is sold at a sky-high price of seven hundred taels per foot!
At the final moment of revealing the suspense, long floral silks were laid out to form ten paths on the flower street, and the sisters walked along the flower paths.
These ten flower paths made of real gold and silver will belong to the most dazzling courtesans this year.
It was quite surprising that in the absence of the two most popular courtesans, Hua Qiluo and Wei Jiangli, veteran courtesans such as Ma Shengxi and Yuan Yayi did not take their place. Instead, new generation courtesans such as Shang Youya and Qiao Shengzi ascended to high positions.
The number one scholar in the Flower Kingdom is still Xie Shirong, and under her feet a stunning ten-mile flower road has been paved!
The amount of flowered silk she alone collected was over ten million taels!
This terrifying money-making ability once again broke the record of the Huadu Conference and is enough to be recorded in the history of the entertainment industry.
but.
As the saying goes, some are happy while others are sad.
Some people walk happily on the flowery path, while others climb to higher places sadly.
"Master, why are you standing so high?" Dulanke raised his head and shouted, "Come down quickly."
"Yes!" The fox girl also shouted worriedly, "Aren't you cold? It's so windy on the rooftop!"
"Boo! Boo! Boo! Boo! Boo! Boo!" The baby thunder dragon also let out a series of long calls.
"This little guy also told you... come down!" Wang Longqi translated.
Tonight, the people from Deyun Temple went out with Long to watch the flower path. When they came back, they found that Li Chu was missing. They went out to look for him and found him on the top of a tall attic nearby.
The young Taoist priest stood facing the wind, his face full of vicissitudes. "Don't worry about me." He said to the people below, "I'm fine."
After saying that, he took another step forward.
“Hey, hey, hey!” Du Lanke said anxiously, “Master, don’t go forward! Oh, don’t be upset. Master, you are still young and have a lot of life ahead of you. It’s just that you lost money on the investment, just a few hundred thousand taels… wuwuwu…”
Before he could finish his words, Wang Longqi and the fox girl covered his mouth tightly, "Old Du, please stop talking about things that are not related to the topic!"
really.
After listening to his words, Li Chu took two steps forward...
world.
Not worth it.
…
After a whole night of tossing and turning, Su Wan and Wei Jiangli arrived early the next morning.
"I heard that Taoist Master Li was not in a good mood last night?" Su Wan asked carefully, "Is it because of the Flower City Conference?"
"No." Li Chu shook his head expressionlessly, "There are always a few days like this every month."
"Then three hundred thousand taels..."
Li Chu added: "For those who practice Taoism, money is nothing more than external possessions."
"Although Youlanxuan suffered heavy losses this time, Taoist Xiao Li did lend a helping hand in times of crisis after all. It is not reasonable for us to let Taoist Xiao Li lose all his money." Su Wan added.
"Hmm?" Li Chu grabbed the corner of his clothes with both hands, his pupils dilated instantly: "Is there still a chance to make a profit?"
"Youlanxuan is facing internal and external troubles right now, so it's really hard to come up with so much money..." Su Wan said, "But if Taoist Xiao Li is willing to give us some time, we should be able to pay back the money after the Flower City Conference next year at the latest."
"Next year..."
Seeing this, Su Wan smiled again and said, "If Youlanxuan wants to pay so much money now, it will probably go bankrupt immediately. If Taoist Xiao Li really doesn't want to wait, just take Jiang Li away."
Wei Jiangli's face turned red.
Upon hearing this, Li Chu pondered for a moment, as if he was seriously considering something.
After a while.
He raised his head and said seriously, "Of course I can wait, but the interest will be calculated at an annual rate of 4%. If the price of silver fluctuates, it will be calculated based on the average price of Heluo. If you cannot repay the loan on time, you will have to increase the interest rate if you extend the payment, or mortgage your property."
"Um..." Su Wan smiled again, "Master Xiao Li has considered... so much."
…
After Su Wan and the others left, Du Lanke came back.
He came close to Li Chu and said, "Master, I have thought clearly about the matter you asked me to consider."
Now that the matter in Shenluo City has come to an end, it is time for Li Chu and his companions to return to Yuhang Town, but Du Lanke is different.
His hometown is in Shenluo City, and he was born and raised in this city. Although the city is not very big, it has mountains, water, and forests...
Lao Du may not be willing to leave.
So Li Chu asked him whether he would choose to go with them or stay here and support the Deyun branch on his own.
Dulanke was indeed conflicted for a while.
At his age, he was indeed somewhat reluctant to leave his hometown. However, he gave up his position as the head of Nancheng Temple and resolutely joined Deyun Temple just for Li Chu.
If he stayed here now, he would become the master of an empty Taoist temple. It was like changing jobs, and the only gain was starting from scratch.
It's hard for him to believe that he doesn't have anything on his mind...
"Oh?" Li Chu asked, "How do you think about it?"
Du Lan Ke said solemnly: "I have thought about it carefully. Although our Deyun Temple... can be said to be 'united, invincible, divided, each is a king'."
"But I am only a young disciple after all. I want to practice more with my master and go back to admire my master. So I decided... to follow my master south."
"Okay." Li Chu nodded, expressing his support for this decision.
Dulanke laughed again and said, "Then I went out to inquire a little while ago. If we sell this house now, the price can be at least twice as high as when you bought it."
"Um?"
This sentence made Li Chu's eyes light up again.
It's normal to think about it, because the reason why he was able to buy the big house in Shenluo city at a low price was because it had been haunted for many years.
But now, the rift in the Ghost Country has been filled unilaterally by the Ghost Country for the first time in history...
In this way, the normal selling price can naturally be restored. In fact, because it is the old place where Li Chu lived, some interested people are willing to pay a premium to buy it.
It was like a timely help, adding a touch of warmth to Li Chu's cold heart.
This incident also once again confirmed the irrefutable truth in his heart.
There is really nothing safer in the world than buying a house in a big city. Other investments may result in losing money or even losing everything, but this thing... is absolutely not wrong.
…
Not long after, another beautiful girl came to the door.
It was none other than that girl Lanzhi.
After some treatment at Xuanhu Villa, their physical condition had returned to normal and they were no longer affected by the Xuanyin Energy, so they returned to their respective homes.
After returning home to reunite with her family, Miss Lanzhi learned that her family had been attacked by Deyun Temple, but it was Li Chu who rescued her later.
So she came to Deyun Branch again to express her gratitude and meet Wang Longqi again.
Wang Longqi was also very excited to see the "first" true love he met since coming to Shenluo City. The two cried with joy and embraced each other passionately, and did not separate for a long time.
He took Miss Lanzhi to the front of the crowd and introduced her, "This is the Lanzhi I always told you about, the one I miss the most. She is the purest girl I have ever met."
Li Chu nodded slightly.
He was deeply impressed.
The extremely pure girl Lanzhi, who had known Wang Longqi for three and a half days before she agreed to spend the night with him, had very clear eyes.
"Oh, I'll be shy if you praise me in front of so many friends." Miss Lanzhi said with a blushing face.
Du Lanke smiled mischievously and said, "Then you, Seventh Young Master, will not be returning to Hangzhou Prefecture with us, right?"
"Of course." Wang Longqi smiled and said, "I will stay here with Lanzhi for a while, and then take her back to Hangzhou Prefecture to meet my family."
"You are bad." Miss Lanzhi hit him again and said shyly, "Who promised to go back and meet your family?"
Wang Longqi chuckled: "Are you unwilling?"
Miss Lanzhi lowered her head shyly: "At least you have to meet my family first, and they have to like you. I'm not that kind of woman."
"Yeah." Wang Longqi felt a little headache: "Your family members are all pretty fierce."
"No..." Lanzhi shook his arm again, "In fact, my parents and elders have a good impression of you. After the last time you were wrongly accused, they are willing to accept you. It's just that my two sons haven't seen you yet, I don't know if they will like you..."
"Haha, with my charm, just two little kids..." Wang Longqi was about to say something with a smile, but suddenly stopped laughing.
"etc……"
"Two sons?" He turned his head in surprise: "You didn't say you were married?"
"I've never been married." Miss Lanzhi blinked innocently, "Does this conflict with the fact that I have two sons?"
"Clam?"
Her tone was so natural, as if it was something commonplace, which made Wang Longqi feel a little unconfident.
"Oh..." Miss Lanzhi shook his arm again, "They are very cute. Didn't you say that your parents really wanted children? Just bring two back. It's a double surprise. They will be so happy."
Wang Longqi was stunned: "But this is not mine..."
"The old man just wants a child..."
Miss Lanzhi blinked her extremely clear eyes again.
“Does it matter who it is?”
