Chapter 368: Pet Him
Qi Xing Ba threw the account book aside, glared at his daughter and said, "Stay at home and recuperate these few days. Don't go out and hang around. The eldest son of the Nanxian King's family will be looking for a wife in three days. You have to go on stage then. If you can marry into the Xianwang Mansion, it will be a great help to our Qixing Sect."
"Dad, I don't like that sickly guy." Qi Xingtong said with a bitter face.
In the South City area, everyone knows that the eldest son of King Nanxian's family is a sickly person. There are also rumors that he is unlucky with women. As the proud eldest daughter of the Seven Stars Sect, she naturally does not want to marry him.
Bai Zhuo also hurriedly said, "Master, the eldest son of the Nanxian family is not only a sickly person, but also has a weird personality. He is born to be unlucky with women. I'm afraid it's not a good idea to let the eldest daughter marry him!"
"You know shit. You just believe whatever others spread. I tell you, that guy is not a simple person. Tongtong will be right to marry him." Qixingba said solemnly.
After saying that, he didn't want to say anything more, so he waved at the two of them, signaling them to leave.
Qi Xingtong and Bai Zhuo had no choice but to take their leave reluctantly.
After coming out of the study, Bai Zhuo helped Qi Xingtong back to her boudoir. Just as he was about to leave, Qi Xingtong reached out and pulled him, saying, "Third Brother, you have to help me! I don't want to marry the eldest son of the Nanxian King's family. I want to be the head of the Qixing Sect."
"Forget it! With your little ability, you still dream of becoming the head of the sect! I also want to be the head of the sect, but I'm not as good as the eldest brother and the second sister, so I can only give up." Bai Zhuo said with a smile.
"Are you going to just swallow this bitter pill? Just watch the two brothers fight for the position of the head? You are not bad at it! I support you anyway." Qixingtong said coquettishly.
Without thinking, Bai Zhuo patted her forehead and scolded her angrily, "Alright, we grew up together, I know your personality very well, don't try to sow discord here, I won't fall for it, and to be frank, I like Second Senior Sister, if she can become the head, I will definitely assist her with all my heart, as for you, stay here and don't cause trouble for me again, otherwise I won't help you next time."
"You..." Qi Xingtong was so angry that she was speechless.
People are too familiar with each other, so brainwashing is often impossible.
This trick of hers might work on others, but it would definitely not work on Bai Zhuo.
At this moment, she began to feel jealous and said viciously, "What's so good about Second Senior Sister? I don't know why you like her. Go away! I don't want to see you again."
"She is prettier than you, has a better figure than you, and is a good person. Hehe! You'll be mad at her." Bai Zhuo deliberately teased Qi Xingtong and said this with a grin, then he ran away.
Qi Xingtong was so angry that she started cursing in the house, smashing things, and acting like a spoiled little princess.
No one else in the room dared to come in and provoke her. After being angry for a while, she could only suppress her anger and lie down on the bed to sleep and recuperate.
The night passed quietly like this.
Early the next morning, I came to the inn from afar.
After Gu Chan and the others had breakfast, the sisters Yuan Ying and Yuan Jie said goodbye to her and went to the South City to inquire about the news.
Cheng Hao and Di Lin also set out right after him to find out about the eldest son of the Nanxian Wang family.
In the end, only Gu Chan and Ma Zheng were left, still sitting at the table drinking tea.
Ma Zheng said with a grin, "Boss, since we are here, why don't we go out for a walk? It would be boring to stay in the inn!"
"Where are we going? I don't even feel like shopping now." Gu Chan said with a faint smile.
When she first came here, she liked shopping very much. After all, shopping in ancient times is different from shopping in modern times. But now she no longer has this interest.
After all, most of these ancient cities are the same, with all kinds of small stalls on the streets, and bigger ones are Qingpu restaurants and gambling houses. She is not interested in these, so she is willing to stay in the inn and is too lazy to go out. Ma Zheng rolled his eyes and said, "Boss, I heard from the waiter last night that the most famous place in South City is Zhaixing Pavilion. It is an elegant place where scholars gather in the entire South City. I want to go and see it."
"Isn't it just like a library? What's fun about it?" Gu Chan said speechlessly.
She had heard of the Zhaixing Pavilion last night. In her opinion, it was just like a modern library. The only difference was that people who went there could recite poems, compose couplets, drink and flirt. It was like a library combined with a bar. There was nothing special about it.
Ma Zheng stretched out his arms and hugged hers, and kept acting coquettishly beside her, saying, "Come on, Boss, take me out to broaden my horizons! I beg you, please."
"Oh! Okay, okay, who asked me to spoil you! Let's go!" Gu Chan smiled and agreed helplessly.
Then she found a waiter to drive the carriage for them, and the two of them rode in the carriage to the Zhaixing Pavilion.
About half an hour later, the carriage stopped at the door of a nine-story carved building.
Gu Chan and the other got off the carriage, and the waiter said, "Gu Guan, this is the Zhaixing Pavilion in the east of South City. The entrance fee alone is 20 taels of silver, and the other fees inside are also very high. I advise you to just take a look."
"Now that you're here, how can you not go in and have some fun? You can go back first." Gu Chan said with a smile.
After saying that, she reached into her sleeve and took out five taels of silver to give to the waiter.
The waiter happily put away the money and suddenly whispered, "Guan, since you are so generous, I will give you another reminder."
"What do you mean?" Gu Chan asked curiously.
"You'll be there when we get in. Just stand there and watch the fun for a while. Don't open the table easily! Otherwise you'll be in trouble." The waiter said with a smile.
After saying this, he immediately drove away in his carriage.
Ma Zheng stood beside Gu Chan and asked in confusion, "Boss, why can't we open the table? What's so uncomfortable about this?"
"Listen to the advice, eat your meal, and go! Just go in and have a meal." Gu Chan said with a smile.
Then she took Ma Zheng into the gate of Zhaixing Pavilion.
As soon as the two entered the gate, they saw a man with a pointed chin and a monkey-like face, sitting at a table on the right side of the gate. He grinned at them and said, "Young masters, are you looking for someone?"
"Let's have a meal." Gu Chan said coldly.
Then she took out twenty taels of silver and put it directly on the table.
The man was stunned at first, then he grinned and shouted, "The two young masters are here to have a rest. Someone, show them around the floors."
As soon as he shouted, a waiter came running over and took Gu Chan and the other two around the building with enthusiasm on their faces.
"Hehe! Here come some silly boys, you can tell at first glance that they are two rich suckers!" The man looked at Gu Chan's back and said with a weird laugh.
Gu Chan ignored him completely and took Ma Zheng and followed the waiter to go upstairs for a stroll.
