Chapter Eleven
Chapter 11
Bai Meng said he would leave, but the next day he hired a carriage and wanted to go to Changpu Town, Quanzhou to investigate Aunt Zhong's family background.
Mrs. Cao came to ask Bai Menglai whereabouts, and he also secretly pressed his hand in his sleeve, signaling Linglong not to mention it, but to go out to find someone to help investigate the matter.
After seeing off Mrs. Cao, Linglong was puzzled and asked: "Why don't you tell Mrs. Cao about Aunt Zhong?"
Bai Menglai glanced at her and said, "Are we middlemen just asking for a price? If we tell people everything and she sends her own people to check it, will it still be my credit at that time? Isn't it just a waste of money?"
Linglong realized that Bai Menglai was really a businessman without any traitor.
At noon, Yanagawa asked Linglong to bring her clothes to wait at the door of the house.
Not long after, Yanagawa led a shiny maroon horse, and behind him was a coachman wearing short-distance driving.
Linglong looked back and saw the magnificent carriage, and was stunned.
She licked her lower lip and asked Bai Menglai: "Boss Bai wants to take this car to the road?"
Bai Menglai raised her eyebrows and said, "What if it is?"
He pulled the bright moon-colored long gown on his arm and said, "I'm just a piece of snow satin that costs ten taels of silver. If I sit in those shoddy carriages and are thorned with silk threads, wouldn't it be a loss? For this reason, I even asked someone to cover the car with soft pads to protect my clothes."
Linglong muttered: "Aren't you afraid of being robbed halfway?"
Bai Menglai sneered and said, "With Yanagawa, he is very skilled in martial arts, how could it be wrong? What is your family with a crow's mouth? Can't you say something good?"
Bai Menglai was so careful that she turned around and was about to board the carriage.
Just as he bent down into the curtain, Bai Menglai suddenly turned around and asked her: "Can you control a horse?"
Linglong was shocked, she dodged her eyebrows and murmured in a low voice: "I am a little girl in the boudoir, and I'm just about to be a girl. How could I ride a horse?"
"Oh." Bai Menglai sneered and said, "Oh, seeing you have a callops on your tiger's mouth, I think you are riding a horse all day long and holding the reins."
Hearing this, Linglong hurriedly hid her hand behind her, smiled embarrassedly, and said, "Isn't it normal to have a calluse on the tiger's mouth? Maybe it's a hatchet to chop wood. You also know that my family is poor and I have to help my family do these things in the backyard."
"Is that?" Bai Menglai narrowed his eyes slightly. He raised his hand and stroked the position of his thumb, saying, "The reins are put on the thumb, and the other four fingers hold the rope as they go. Therefore, there will be a trace of being strapped throughout the thumb. Over time, there will be a slightly thick cocoon in one circle. Cutting wood is different. If the tiger's mouth holds the hilt, the cocoon can only be on the inside of the half-moon-shaped tiger's mouth, and it will never leave traces under the thumb."
Linglong usually rides horses on the road when she goes out to do tasks, and she is also good at riding horses.
It turned out that she was covered in flaws and was clearly seen.
What to do? She was exposed.
When Bai Menglai's words were heard, Linglong was sweating profusely. She was dumbfounded and speechless.
Seeing her defeated, Bai Menglai found out again with conscience and planned to let her go. Feng Qingyun said calmly: "Hey, but don't be nervous. I just think it would be a big loss to spend more money to hire a coachman. If you know how to control the horse, you will be able to take the coachman's bag."
After saying that, he smiled lightly, as if he could see through Linglong everything, leaving her nowhere to hide.
After hearing this, Linglong's first reaction was to "run quickly".
She was actually afraid of Bai Menglai? Where is this going?
She could hit ten people in one breath even though she was a weak man like him.
