Chapter 189 No time
Xu Zhao was a chatterbox, and he talked as long as Jiang Hao was tied up.
Jiang Hao would occasionally respond to him with a word or two, and then concentrated on giving him acupuncture.
If the needle went wrong, it would be a shame to spend hundreds of thousands of taels of silver that Zhang Zhongjing forced upon her.
He really gave too much.
Even though Jiang Hao didn't value money like his life, he couldn't help but take a few more glances at the box of banknotes and house deeds.
It was not until the acupuncture was over and Xu Zhao had put on his clothes that Jiang Hao took the initiative to talk to him: "Do you know the third child of Chen Ge Lao's family?"
After that, he added, "It's the fake Taoist who practices in Qingyun Temple."
Xu Zhao was considered a tyrant in Kyoto City. He hung out with the children of aristocratic families all day long, and there was no one and no thing that he didn't know.
Chen Laosan Chen Chuan?
Of course he knew.
"Sister Haoer, how do you recognize him?"
Xu Zhao was a little curious, and looked at Jiang Hao with his big eyes and asked, "Have you been to Kyoto?"
Jiang Hao naturally had never been to Kyoto City: "He is now in Qingchuan County and just met your eldest brother not long ago."
"If he is not a Taoist priest in Qingyun Temple, what is he doing in Yuzhou Prefecture?"
Xu Zhao looked confused.
How would Jiang Hao know? Isn't this the question he is asking?
"It seems like he ran away from his marriage."
"Oh, so that's how it is."
Upon hearing this, Xu Zhao immediately started gossiping and laughed, "The second daughter of the eldest branch of the Xiao family was betrothed to him before she was born, but the Xiao family's daughter has been extremely fierce since she was young, and Chen Lao San has been practicing in the Taoist temple all year round and only returns home during the New Year holidays. Whenever the two meet, the second Xiao daughter always beats and scolds him."
This is not a secret in Kyoto, but rather a topic of conversation among the wealthy and powerful families after dinner.
The eldest lady of the Xiao family was born in a general's mansion and was raised as a man since childhood. The eldest daughter was raised by the old lady since childhood. She is proficient in music, chess, calligraphy and painting, and is gentle and virtuous. The second daughter was raised by the eldest lady herself, and her temperament is very different from that of the eldest sister.
"It seems like they are going to get married, but the Chen family keeps postponing it year after year..."
Xu Zhao went to the military camp last year, so he is not very clear about the affairs of the Chen and Xiao families.
"No wonder he ran away from his marriage..."
Xu Zhao laughed more and more excitedly, and said in a magical way: "If Chen Laosan really escaped from marriage, then I won my previous bet!"
Um? ? ? ?
Jiang Hao looked towards Xu Zhao, only to see Xu Zhao humming a tune happily.
Xu Zhao's mind was full of money. He said that Chen Laosan could not stand the vulgar Miss Xiao Er and would definitely elope.
as predicted!
When he returns to Kyoto, he will collect the debts from everyone one by one. No one can deny it.
Jiang Hao probably understood that Chen Chuan was practicing in Qingyun Temple for some reason, but he was just a lay disciple. When he reached a certain age, he would still have to return to the Chen family to marry and have children.
However, because the woman was too tough and he was afraid of being beaten, he ran away from the marriage and came to Qingchuan County.
Did the young master of the Xiao family come here specifically to take him back?
I never thought that I could eat this kind of melon in this remote Qingchuan County.
"Okay, I'll leave first if I'm fine."
After eating the melon, Jiang Hao packed up his things and prepared to leave.
Xu Zhao opened his eyes suddenly when he heard this: "Sister Haoer, we are about to leave Qingchuan County. Can you take me to taste the specialties of Qingchuan County? Well... Don't worry, I have money, I will treat you."
Jiang looked at him, turned around and walked out, refusing, "I'm busy."
"Hey, hey, hey, I can wait for you whenever you are free..."
“No time.”
"Good sister..."
