As soon as Aiden finished speaking, a wealthy middle-aged man not far away said impatiently: "Why are you messing around if you have no money?"
"You can't ask if you don't have money?" Aiden said with a smile, "Everyone should have dreams, what if they come true?"
"What a mess, dreams have nothing to do with this..."
The middle-aged man saw that Aiden looked unfamiliar and had short hair, and he was unsure of his background. He did not dare to speak too loudly, but only muttered something, then looked around and said, "I've bid up to eighty taels, is there anyone else bidding?"
The people around hesitated for a moment.
The middle-aged man was very proud of this and looked at the big man: "Okay, I'll buy your brother."
The big man almost wanted to cry.
I thought that I just needed to stand here with Jiu Ye today and wait for Aiden to take it away, but Jiu Ye's face was so bad that it quickly attracted a group of people, so that the price rose all the way to eighty taels. The worst thing was that Aiden had no money, what should I do? Will I be stuck with it and unable to sell it today?
Seeing that he was silent, the middle-aged man said unhappily: "Why, eighty taels is not enough? How much do you want?"
The big man was so frustrated that he didn't know what to say. He could only look at his "brother" and asked, "Are you willing to go with him?"
Julian said: "I don't want to."
The middle-aged man laughed: "This is the first time I've seen someone sell someone like this. If he doesn't want to, will you stop selling him?"
"It's said that people should have dreams," Aiden noticed Julian's occasional glances and finally stopped watching the show and joined in. "This is not about money. Didn't you see that they asked me if I wanted to buy someone just after I arrived? This is the difference between you and me."
The middle-aged man was unhappy: "What's the difference?"
Aiden said seriously: "I am more upright than you."
Middle-aged man: "......"
"You spent a lot of money to rob someone, you know what you want to do," Aiden said, "I think this brother loves his brother very much, he must have been forced into a desperate situation to do this. If that's the case, he would rather get less money, and hope that his brother can have a good place to go."
The people around nodded and thought it made sense.
Aiden ignored the middle-aged man's flushed face and continued, "This little brother just wanted me to buy it, so come with me and be my book boy."
Someone nearby couldn't help but ask: "But don't you have no money?"
Aiden said calmly: "I just didn't bring any money today."
When they saw that he was wearing a frosty robe with gold edges and followed by two guards, they guessed which family he was from. When they saw the young man taking off the grass on his hair and coming to him, they knew the deal was done and quickly left.
The big man was stunned.
I thought it was going to be a big loss, but after just a few words, the situation took a sudden turn. No wonder Master Jiu wanted to sell it to him.
Aiden told the big man to go to Chunze Villa to get the money at night. After sending the man away, he walked around the city. After all, his excuse for coming out was to walk around, and going back too early would easily arouse suspicion.
Julian followed him closely: "Sir, where are we going?"
Aiden said: "Let's find a place to eat."
Julian interrupted: "But you didn't bring any money."
Aiden said gently: "Look, I sold you to that person just now, so now I have money, right?"
Is it so vicious?
The two guards' cheeks shuddered and they paused in their steps.
Julian was unmoved, smiling with that lovely face: "You won't, I believe in my judgment of people."
When most people hear this, they will probably ask "What kind of person do you think I am?"
But Aiden didn't. He followed the topic and nodded, "I understand. I'm so good-looking. It's reasonable for you to fall in love with me at first sight."
The two guards immediately looked at the young man.
Julian blinked, and before he could speak, he heard Aiden's serious lecture: "But I, your young master, am not interested in someone like you. Be honest around me in the future and put away your little thoughts. Okay, let's eat here."
He saw a crowded roadside stall and went in first to sit down, interrupting Julian's next words. He felt that the breath that had been stuck in the morning was finally released.
Julian sat down next to him and looked around: "What's there to eat here?"
"Eat whatever you have," Aiden thought, since it's pollution-free and additive-free, it's green and environmentally friendly and won't make you sick. He looked at someone and said kindly, "Eat whatever you want, don't worry about the money. If it doesn't work out, I'll give you to the boss and watch you wash dishes for him for a day, and then I'll take you back."
Julian wanted to add more meat because he had just lost the verbal battle, but he immediately behaved himself and stopped making trouble. He thought Aiden was capable of this and said, "Then you order, young master."
Aiden ordered four bowls of noodles with satisfaction and waited for the meal to start.
Julian looked at Aiden and had a new understanding of him.
After all, they would be together for nearly a month, so he had to figure out Aiden's character first. So he deliberately didn't mention the money issue in the morning, wanting to see what Aiden would do. In the end, Aiden handled it lightly.
He reviewed what had happened since this morning, and thought to himself that although Aiden was calm, he was not really without temper.
Four bowls of noodles were quickly served.
Aiden lowered his head to eat, listening to all kinds of gossip. These things were no different from what he heard yesterday. People were still concerned about the crazy young master of Chunze Villa and whether he could make it to the blessing day.
"I heard that someone from the Xuanzhen Sect was invited to treat the disease. They should be here soon."
"It's hard to catch up. You don't know, I saw him being carried back that day with my own eyes!"
"Hey, tell me!"
A few people then started gossiping about how tragic the other person's fate was, and eventually brought up the topic of Qiuren Villa.
"I heard that the Baihong Divine Mansion and Qiuren Villa have been getting close recently and may be discussing marriage."
"Is this true? Didn't they say that the White Rainbow Divine Mansion is looking for a son-in-law? Is Qiu Ren's young master willing to go?"
"Why would you object? That's the White Rainbow Palace!"
"That's true..."
Aiden finished a bowl of noodles silently and sorted out the new ingredients.
First, the Baihong Divine Palace is very powerful and seems to be quite influential.
Second, the Baihong Divine Mansion might be planning to form an alliance with Qiu Ren, and the young master chosen by Qiu Ren for the marriage will also have to go and pray for blessings this time.
Third, he would most likely meet people from the Baihong Divine Mansion at Shenxue Peak.
He put down his chopsticks and wiped his mouth. After the guard and Julian finished eating, he paid the bill and left.
The group wandered around the city for a while before returning to the villa.
As soon as he entered the courtyard, Aiden saw a group of people surrounding the sightseeing car. The fat man's voice was very anxious: "How is it? How is it?"
Brother Zhao said, "I'm still watching."
Aiden raised his eyebrows slightly and walked over.
After the fat man bought the car, he left the villa the next day to show off to his friends. Running out of battery was an inevitable result. He was quite capable, as it seemed he had managed to push the car back.
The good-natured Brother Zhao looked at his expression and felt a little guilty, but in order to avoid trouble, he stammered out the excuse they had agreed on, telling him that it might be broken and he was not sure whether it could be repaired, so he could only try his best.
Oliver and others held their breath, and when they saw that the fat man didn't suspect anything at all, they immediately breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that they had passed this hurdle.
After they relaxed, they realized that Aiden had returned. Oliver saw a beautiful boy following him and asked, "Who is this?"
Aiden said: "I bought it."
Oliver said "Oh", then reacted and raised his voice an octave higher: "What, you bought a person?"
This sentence attracted the attention of Miles, Etha and Brother Zhao.
Several eyes were cast on the young man.
Julian grabbed Aiden's sleeve and moved slowly behind him, hiding himself fearfully.
Aiden's eyes twitched slightly.
A few minutes later, several people walked into Aiden's room and listened to what happened.
Simply put, there was a group of people who had bad intentions towards the boy. The boy asked him for help, and he bought the money out of pity, because he would need help in the future when doing business anyway.
Oliver and others nodded, thinking that he was right.
Miles asked curiously: "How much is it?"
Aiden said: "Two taels of silver."
Several people sighed, two taels of silver could buy a person, human life was really worthless in this world.
When they saw the young man holding the cup in silence, they felt it was quite pitiful and touched his head in a soothing manner.
Julian: "......"
Aiden: "......"
Aiden pretended that he saw nothing. Seeing that Etha obediently did not look for anyone to play chess with, he went to finalize the details with Graham. When he came back after the discussion, Julian was the only one left in the room.
He handed the money bag he had received from the housekeeper to Julian and said, "We've decided to leave the day after tomorrow. Let me see the weather. Your brother should be here soon. Go and give him the money."
Julian shook it and felt it was quite heavy. He couldn't help but open it and found it was a bag of small stones.
So generous.
He laughed, and suddenly felt that Aiden was a little pleasing to the eye, and asked: "Master, where should I sleep tonight?"
Aiden said: "Look, if you don't want to sleep in the servants' room, I'll ask them to bring a soft bed for you."
Julian thought for a moment and said, "Let it go soft."
Aiden had no objection.
For those who have slept in a college dormitory, sleeping in the same room with others has no pressure at all.
Time flies.
The people from Xuanzhen Gate arrived the next night, but just as the gossipers had guessed, they failed to make it in time, because Aiden and his men were leaving on the third day, and there was no way the young master would be able to get better in just one night.
However, due to the arrival of Xuanzhenmen, Graham was delayed for a while the next morning, so they did not leave until nearly noon.
It was too crowded for five people to fit in one carriage, so Aiden did not ride in the same carriage with Oliver and the others, but took another one with his servant.
Before getting in the car, he saw the owner of the manor standing nearby and looking at him. He intuitively felt that the other party might have something to say. Even though there was a limit of ten sentences, at this moment of farewell, he felt that the owner of the manor would not be stingy.
However, after waiting for a while, he saw that the owner of the manor just looked at him sincerely without saying a word.
After a few breaths, the owner of the manor thought for a while, then wrote a few words on his hand in front of Aiden and asked him to read them.
Aiden said: "I'm sorry, I can't read."
Owner: "......"
The two looked at each other.
Aiden's mind moved: "Have you used up all the ten sentences today?"
The owner of the manor nodded bitterly.
"......" Aiden said, "I understand your intentions. Don't worry, we will be careful on the road."
The owner of the manor nodded again, feeling relieved.
Aiden looked at the sun which was not even at noon yet, and thought that he would have to endure this chatterbox for a while, so he climbed onto the carriage in silence, glanced at the servant boy next to him who seemed quite happy, and thought to himself that you really lack virtue.
The carriage creaked and the group finally set off.
Oliver sat there curiously for a while, and seeing Miles didn't move for a long time, he poked him: "What's wrong? Why haven't you said anything since just now?"
Miles held back for a long time and said, "There is something I want to tell you."
Several people asked: "What?"
Miles said: "Aiden is actually gay too, I can feel it..."
Oliver said: "Really? I can't tell, hahahaha..."
He suddenly got stuck, realized something, and asked, "You mean..."
Miles nodded: "These days he takes that servant with him wherever he goes. They sleep in the same room and ride in the same carriage. What do you think..."
Several people gasped.
She's not even an adult yet!
Oliver said in horror: "Do you think he has a special hobby? Like minors?"
Miles said: "I don't know."
Several people looked at each other, and when they thought of the poor young man who was now in someone else's carriage, their expressions immediately became solemn.
