Chapter 32 Gamble
Red is rising.
In an official residence where there is not much furnishing and can even be described as shabby, a middle-aged official wearing a blue official uniform frowned and looked at the Hongmeng Chaoyang.
After a long time, he finally made a decision and said to the master who was waiting on the side, "Take my box of whale egg paste to the young man in Wutongluo's wine shop."
Like all the masters who can gain a foothold in Changling, although this thin master looked like a gust of wind could blow him, his expression was extremely steady and his eyes were always filled with wise light.
When he heard his words, the master was shocked and could not calmly say: "Master Sikong, would it be too expensive?"
The middle-aged official of Meizhu smiled as if he was ridiculed and said, "I know very well what you think at this time... Although Ding Ning, a young man in this wine shop, has made an amazing progress in his cultivation, the situation in each realm is different after all. Some people have extremely fast conditions in front of him, but when they reach the fourth and fifth realms, they are all the same as those of the best practitioners in history books. However, after reaching the fourth realm, they are slow to move forward, and they are not confident. They are also depressed and become sick. Now they have become tuberculosis who are suffering from illness. It is indeed too early to see people from the first three realms."
"It's just that, I can understand that those noble people who are far higher than me are naturally very clear about it. So even if I know his name like me, I just know it. I will not pay too much attention to him, nor will I show any good intentions to him, because he is not qualified, unless he can perform like this in the fourth and fifth realms. For those noble people, even only practitioners who have reached the sixth realm can make them take some effort."
After a pause, the middle-aged official of the beautiful beard looked at the increasingly puzzled master and continued: "At this time, they showed goodwill to him, they were naturally those noble people who were not at high enough. It was just because the boy was not qualified enough, so even if they expressed some kindness, they would not give anything too valuable. But I want to bet."
The middle-aged official of beautiful beard looked at the master whose brow suddenly loosened and said seriously: "Although the Lishu is in charge of the ancestral temple etiquette and is called the head of each department, it is actually the least powerful. At most, it can only say something to the emperor and the queen. Our Sikong Lian has arrived at such a position in the Lishu, and what he can use in his hands is not as good as the commander of the Military Commander."
"Because I feel there is no good way out, and it seems that I have become less and less hopeless to take revenge, so I want to bet." A complicated emotion began to emerge in the eyes of the middle-aged official of Meishou: "Actually, I am not rushing to seek medical treatment, because unlike others, I have met Xue Wangxu several times. I know that he is the kind of person who can tolerate the most. There are countless people who can tolerate Changling, but like him, he has actually reached the seventh level, but he is still so tolerant, but there should be no second person.
However, people like him who can tolerate will do many things that are completely inconsistent with his nature for this young man. That young man should really be worth a bet. At least in terms of cultivation and qualifications, Xue Wangxu can see better than me. When it comes to giving gifts, I will give you the heaviest gift. The young man started late and had weak bones, and what he lacked was overseas elixirs such as Whale Eagle Ointment. I carefully inquired about some of the performances of this son in the sword sacrifice trial. I believe this son is the kind of person who is grateful for his kindness."
Hearing the voices of the adult he was following, Master Skinny was a little impressed. He knew that he had done his homework before he made a decision. He just thought about the word revenge. Master Skinny looked at the wrinkles in the corners of his eyes and couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
The sycamore tree suddenly became lively.
This kind of excitement is not the excitement brought by the ordinary Chinese New Year, but the appearance of many luxurious carriages.
The lady's head wrap, rouge, paperweight in the study, incense burner, and playing jade have become symbols of identity and status in the past many years.
Decades ago, after the carriage had no carriage but only canopy to a carriage, it was possible to prevent outsiders from seeing the carriage inside. From the beginning, the carriage, which was relatively stable and comfortable for nobles, changed into a variety of purposes such as private meetings, and became the most important object in the daily life of the nobles in Changling.
The carriage production is becoming more and more exquisite and gorgeous. Just from some materials and inlays, the owner's status in Changling can be roughly seen.
The best coachman can directly see the mansion corresponding to the carriage.
A carriage plywood was obviously lined with steel plates that could not be penetrated by arrows. The carriage that seemed very heavy was about to enter the lane. At this time, the coachman, who was sitting upright in front of the car, looked as straight as a javelin, and frowned.
A carriage that looked nothing special, but was made of ordinary blue sandalwood and was driving from the other end into the sycamore tree.
"how?"
The carriage behind the driver felt the pause of the carriage, and a soft questioning sound came from.
"It's Fang Yong's carriage from Fang Hou's Mansion." The coachman replied softly.
The noble man in the car behind him was silent and waited patiently.
Although Fang Yong was born in a concubine, he had outstanding military achievements. He was the third person in Fanghou Mansion except Fang Sheng and Fang Xiu Gu. Such a person is naturally much higher than his identity.
At this moment, the driver of the carriage was stunned again.
He saw a carriage that looked particularly square.
The carriage also has no particularly luxurious decorations, but every part of the carriage is extremely orthodox, completely in line with the standard, and does not even bring any personal preferences.
"Deputy Chief of Lishu... Lord Sikonglian actually sent someone here." The coachman confirmed that he had no problem seeing it, turned around and reported softly to the inside of the carriage with some unbelievable feelings.
...
The carriages and horses were constantly stopped in front of the small courtyard where Xue Wangxu rented.
As soon as a carriage drove away, another carriage stopped at the door.
Looking at the gifts delivered one by one, about to pile up half of the utility room, Xue Wangxu, wearing a weasel-skinned hat, couldn't help but grin again.
Is this also a kind of scenery?
"Little….Little Junior Brother…"
At this moment, Zhang Yi, who had been paying gifts for the future, suddenly stuttered and exclaimed again.
Xue Wangxu clapped the copper soup girl who was warming her hands in her hands and shouted, "What's wrong?"
"Mr. Fang Yong, the Lord of Fanghou's Mansion, sent a gold-wire suit." Zhang Yi seemed ashamed of her shocked expression, and walked out of the utility room in shame and said softly.
Xue Wangxu was stunned.
The golden thread clothes are naturally not really made of ordinary gold wire. If so, they are not valuable to practitioners. The golden thread clothes mentioned in the world of practitioners are woven with silk in the stems of a strange flower called a golden thread flowers, which helps the condensation of the qi of the practitioners in the true essence realm, and can allow practitioners to consume the true essence more rapidly when the true essence is consumed and the energy of heaven and earth is absorbed to replenish the true essence.
This is indeed a big gift, and because the golden wisp flowers are rare, it is also a big gift that is priceless and difficult to buy with money.
"Even if it's a golden texy dress, there's no need to make such a fuss." Xue Wangxu, who came to his senses, looked at Zhang Yi, who was a little ashamed, and scolded.
Zhang Yi lowered her head in greater shame and explained softly: "I know... but Lord Sikong from Lisi gave him a heavier gift. He gave him a box of whale ointment, which would be enough to be used until early next summer."
Xue Wangxu was completely stunned this time.
Lord Sikong of Lishu was the only deputy chief Sikong Lian.
Although Ding Ning performed this way, Xue Wangxu naturally knew that a seedling like Ding Ning was not qualified for the real powerful people. Someone would come to Fang Hou Mansion because Ding Ning had some connection with Fang Hou Mansion before. Liling Jun is a person who is recognized as a person who is very particular and will do everything personally. He will use some means, but it is just because he suffered Ding Ning's rejection and humiliation here.
Now a powerful person like Sikong Lian can pay attention to Ding Ning. Even if he gives a small gift, it seems a bit incredible to him, let alone a box of whale egg ointment.
Whale Egg Ointment is one of the most useful medicines found for practitioners in the exploration of seeking medicine overseas for a century.
It is made of a colloidal seaweed called whale grass in the deep sea. Where the colloidal seaweed grows, there are a large number of black water dragons. If you deal with a real dragon in ordinary shallow water, it is not particularly dangerous for many practitioners. However, if you have to face a group of real dragons in the deep sea, you may not know how much it will cost to collect this seaweed.
Therefore, whale egg paste is extremely rare, and even those marquis' mansions can rarely be obtained.
However, this plaster is extremely useful. If applied to the whole body after bathing, the medicinal power penetrates into the skin and bones, it will greatly stimulate the blood and marrow exchange effect of the true essence. It will not only make the muscles and bones strong and prevent all diseases, but also will naturally increase the strength, which is equivalent to allowing practitioners to reduce the time for self-cultivation.
Therefore, this kind of plaster is also called "foundation paste" in various dynasties, and it supplements the foundation of practitioners.
If it can be used until early summer next year, this whale egg paste will naturally not be a small box, but a large box.
This is indeed a great gift that shocks anyone. Zhang Yi cannot be blamed for not being calm enough.
"I even gave such a heavy gift." Xue Wangxu coughed softly several times and sighed softly: "Sikong Lian, what's the matter with you... A place like Changling really makes people like you have many helplessness and things that cannot be solved at all. Do you need to do this?"
...
Ordinary people have the helplessness and grudges of ordinary people, and those who stand on high places also have the helplessness and grudges of those who stand on high places.
Xue Wangxu sighed like this, not because he understood this truth at this time, but because he thought, since he climbed up the same level, what's the point of no matter how high he climbed?
It's just that not everyone thinks this way.
Perhaps most people will only look back on their life at the end of their lives, think about whether many of the things they have done are right and whether they are meaningful, or they may understand what they have missed and what they want most.
In the gorgeous study, Li Lingjun looked at the case file in front of him, and the white frost on his temples became thicker and thicker.
The sound of footsteps broke his heavy thoughts and the tranquility around him. A trace of horse manure appeared in the air of the study room with agarwood burning in a very uncoordinated manner.
Li Lingjun's brows suddenly frowned, and an extremely rare and fierce murderous intent suddenly appeared on his face, who had always been gentle.
He raised his head and looked at the man who appeared in his sight, and said with a slightly cold voice: "Come uninvited, this is the greatest rudeness. Moreover, you are a member of my mansion. Regardless of the rules of my mansion, this is not just rudeness."
Su Qin, wearing an ordinary common cloth robe with a stinking smell, bowed deeply and said, "I am rude, but I can relieve my worries."
