The heavens start from Liaozhai

Chapter 2 Li Rui Liu Cong Luo Xiang Four Dog Friends

The first person to enter the Wangchuan Tower was Li Rui.

Li Rui was dressed in Tsing Yi and held a folding fan, looking like a handsome young man.

Li Rui saw that Lin Ping's face was pale and extremely weak, and he was worried:
"Brother Lin, you have just recovered from a serious illness, why do you invite us out for drinks again?"

Li Rui and Lin Ping were drinking and meat friends, but he didn't want to see Lin Ping drinking with him, causing his body to deteriorate and die suddenly.

Lin Ping's death at the wine table was not a good thing for Li Rui, and it might even affect the harmony between the two families.

Among Lin Ping's friends, Li Rui was the more decent person, and his knowledge and insight were not comparable to his original one.

"Brother Li, sit down first, because Mr. Lin is not feeling well, so you can't drink to Brother Li." Lin Ping poured a glass of wine and handed it to Liu Rui.

"Brother Lin invited me out, why?" Li Rui asked.

Lin Ping smiled, because his face was pale, this smile looked a bit awkward:
"Brother Li will know later, it's not a big deal."

After a while, a young man with a round body and a slightly rich appearance came in, holding a folding fan in his hand.

The rich young man said: "I didn't expect Brother Li to come here faster than me!"

Then he looked at Lin Ping, "Who else did Brother Lin invite?"

"In addition to inviting you this time, I also invite Brother Luo." Lin Ping replied.

In Shaoyang County, the Li family, the Liu family, the Luo family, and the Lin family are the richest.

At this time.

A young man who looked a little pale and looked a little weak walked in.

As soon as he sat in his seat, he coughed a few times.

Obviously, his health is not very good, and his essence and blood are also severely depleted.

Then he cupped his hands to several people and didn't speak, but the three of them got used to it.

The person who came was Luo Xiang from the Luo family. Among the four, apart from Lin Ping, he was the one who liked to visit the Rouge Tower the most.

at this time.

There were four people present.

Li Rui was the first to come.

The second one to come was Liu Cong.

Luo Xiang came third.

"Now that we're all here, Brother Lin, tell me why you invited us here!" Li Rui took a sip from his wine.

"I think everyone has heard the nursery rhyme about me in the Rouge Building." Lin Ping smiled slightly, and was not angry at all because of this incident.

"This...Brother Lin is joking..."

"Since everyone knows about it, I won't keep it a secret.

I worked all night that night, my body was very overdrawn, and my body was very weak.

I have to borrow some money from you to buy medicine to make up for my physical deficit.

I wonder if you can lend me some money? "Lin Ping looked at the three of them.

"Borrowing money is such a small matter, why bother brother Lin, just send someone to borrow it from us." Liu Cong said to Lin Ping.

Li Rui also said: "Brother Yilin's family background, he shouldn't be so poor that he needs to borrow money from us. Could it be that Brother Lin borrowed a lot of money?"

Lin Ping said to the crowd: "I don't want to hide it from you, but the loan this time is not too much.

As you know, my status in the family is not high.

Every year, I squander all the money my family gives me at Rouge House.

Now a penny beats a hero.

This time I want to borrow 4000 taels of silver from you to solve the urgent need. "

"I don't have anything else in my family, but I have a lot of money. Let me lend Brother Lin 2000 taels of silver." Liu Cong said.

"Then I'll lend Brother Lin 1000 taels of silver." Li Rui also said.

"Lend money to brother Lin, how can you lose my share?
I lent Brother Lin 1000 taels of silver, which was enough to make 4000 taels. "Luo Xiang felt a little sad.

He is the poorest among those sitting here. Like Lin Ping, he likes to visit the Rouge Building, and he doesn't have much money.

Lin Ping said: "Then thank you all, tomorrow I will draw up an agreement and let my housekeeper go to your house."

then.

Lin Ping poured a glass of wine:

"I respect you all for this glass of wine. Because I'm unwell, I can't drink too much."

"Understood, understood!" Li Rui said.

"I don't know what Brother Li is up to lately? I haven't seen Brother Li come out for a drink for a long time." Luo Xiang asked.

Li Rui apologized: "The imperial examination is approaching, and my father requires me to pass it.

I spent most of my time on reading, but I neglected you brothers. "

Luo Xiang continued: "Brother Li is still diligent. What is Brother Liu doing?
This month, brother Lin and I went to the Rouge Building together, which was a bit boring. "

“Recently, there was a problem with one of my family’s properties, and it was very troublesome to deal with it. How can I still think about it and have fun?

If Brother Lin hadn't written a letter to invite me, my father wouldn't have let me out. "Liu Cong said.

"What's the matter? Tell us about it. Maybe we have a good plan." Li Rui said.

"As you know, my family is engaged in fishing and selling fish in Quyin Lake. The matter is related to fishing in the water." Liu Cong said.

"It's not a big deal to salvage and sell fish, so why is it so troublesome to deal with?"

"I'm telling you, don't talk nonsense." Liu Cong looked around to see if anyone was eavesdropping.

"Brother Liu, just tell me. We are not big talkers, so how can we talk nonsense?"

"The current Quyin Lake is haunted by water ghosts, as long as it is someone who goes into the water to salvage it.

He would die mysteriously in bed the next day.

The bodies of the dead still smelled strong.

Nowadays, no one is willing to go to the lake to fish. You know, the main dish of the restaurant run by my family is fish..."

"That would be difficult, and the loss would be serious.

Didn't you ask the Taoist priests from Meishan Temple to come out and handle this matter? Li Rui asked.

"Hey! I don't know why, the Meishan Temple has already been closed, and the Taoist priests in the Taoist temple have also disappeared."

"Then what about those mages in Fahua Temple? They must also disappear, right?" Li Rui's face changed greatly when he heard this.

"We also sent people to Fahua Temple, and the temple there was also closed, and the people inside wouldn't let us in.

Even if I pay a lot of money, they are not willing to accept my commission.

Now our family is looking for someone with profound knowledge to deal with this matter! "

“Oh, it’s been such a troubled time, there have been many natural disasters in the past few years.

I heard that the locust plague last year swept across the whole of Henan, thousands of miles of barren land, starving and dying everywhere.

Even wild vegetables and tree bark have been dug up, and even cannibalism can be seen everywhere..."

"Brother Li cares about the world. Brother Lin and I are different. I can't write well. I don't know what to do except spend time and drink." Luo Xiang couldn't help feeling emotional when he heard this.

"Brother Luo, I don't know whether to talk about some things." After being silent for a while, Lin Ping wanted to tell Luo Xiang about Hong'er's abnormality.

Luo Xiang said: "We are all acquaintances, so we can talk about what we need to say, and we don't need to hide it."

"If that's the case, then I'll be blunt.

I think there is something wrong with the girl Hong'er in Rouge Building.

If Brother Luo goes to Rouge Tower, he should have less contact with Miss Hong'er. "

"Haha! Brother Lin was bitten by a snake once, but he was afraid of well ropes for ten years.

How could Hong'er have a problem.

Brother Lin shouldn't be jealous, Hong'er is a member of Hualou, and she has already lost her virginity..."

"I'm just reminding Brother Luo that when the time comes, Brother Luo can adjust accordingly." Lin Ping knew that Luo Xiang didn't believe him, so he didn't continue talking.

The senses Lin Ping gave Luo Xiang before were unreliable.

Lin Ping's words, in Luo Xiang's mind, have too little credibility.

"Brother Lin, you are worrying too much. There is a Chenghuang Temple in this city. Where can unclean things come in..." Luo Xiang chuckled and didn't take it seriously.

At this moment, Li Rui felt a little bored.

Then he said: "Brother Lin, I have been out for a long time, if I don't go back to review my homework, my father will be angry, so I will leave first."

"Alright! Since nothing has happened, let's end this party here." Lin Ping nodded in agreement.

"It's getting late, and the Rouge Building is about to open, why don't Brother Luo and I go to the Rouge Building together?

I haven't had a chance to play outside recently, and I'm suffocated. "Liu Cong's round body looked like he was suffocating.

"That would be the best. I wonder if brother Lin will go?" Luo Xiang looked at Lin Ping.

Lin Ping shook his head: "I'm in the recuperation stage now, it's not suitable for excessive exercise, so I won't go this time."

The party is over.

Lin Ping returned to the Lin Mansion, returned to the other garden, and after instructing the steward about the loan, he fell asleep soundly.

When I woke up the next day, it was already broad daylight.

Following Lin Ping's instructions, the housekeeper borrowed 4000 taels of silver from some of Lin Ping's friends.

Lin Ping's face relaxed when he saw Bai Yin on the table.

He closed the door tightly and opened the Chaos Farm.
