Chapter 319: Gift List
Now that Yuanchang has been stirred up into a mess, the old fox can't guess what the monk will do next, and now Yuanchang has left too many back roads for himself, unless he makes a move, otherwise no one can guess what he will do next.
Originally, this group wanted to go to Luoyang City to try their luck, but after guessing Yuanchang's plan, they didn't have the intention of going to Luoyang again. But I finally came out for a trip, and no one wanted to go to the cave now. At the moment, a few of them discussed it, and decided to walk around. Although they are still in troubled times, they will be unimpeded wherever they go.
Over the next two or three months, the group wandered around the southern dynasties. While they were playing around, they also inquired about the news related to the monk Yuanchang from the Surabaya. As before, now the news of the appearance of the monk Yuanchang in the north and south dynasties is constantly coming out, but only the voice of the monk has been heard, but there has been no real news of this monk. In the words of returning: Now Yuanchang does not come out by himself, unless he uses Zhanzu, no one can find him.
Although it was a troubled time, compared with the Northern Dynasty of the Xianbei people, the Southern Dynasty was much more prosperous and wealthy here. After a trip to Jiankang and Jiangling generation, such rough goods as Bai Wuqiu have a happy mind. He actually cooperated with Xiao Rensan to persuade him to buy a house in this Jiangnan water town, live here for twenty or thirty years, and then return to the cave when he gets tired of it.
Buying a house is really nothing to the return of people who scare people with horseshoe gold at every turn. And his own cave house is called a house, but it is actually a small cave. When I didn't return, I was talking about eating and pomp, and in the end, I was really moved by my stupid son. began to take the Surabaya to find a pleasant house near Jiankang.
After searching for more than half a month, I found a mansion in Jiankang City. The owner of the house is the son of the official eunuch in the middle of the family, more than half a hundred years old but no children and no daughters, usually believe in Buddhism and give most of the family business to the monks in the temple. Originally, I wanted to send this ancestral property to the temple, but I was worried that the ancestral house would be dilapidated and faceless, so I renovated this big mansion inside and out. Unfortunately, the Buddha forgot to bless him, and this man suddenly suffered a stroke on the day the renovation of the mansion was completed.
As soon as the owner died, the house was completely in chaos. Several nephews almost went to the court of the Southern Dynasty in order to fight for this bit of family property, and finally it was easy to divide the gold and silver, and only this property remained. Because this house was rumored to be haunted in the early years, the locals in Jiankang did not buy it, and the outsiders could not afford it. In the end, Wu Mian and the group of people who passed by here took a fancy to him, and the old guy very cleverly revealed a little bit of his mind to the local Surabaya steward to buy a house. Three days later, the Surabaya people sent the deed and the key to the hands of the returnee, and the old guy smiled after a few polite words.
When they moved in, the steward of the Surabaya had already arranged for stewards, servants, and other people to serve them. Afraid that Wu Mian and these people would think that the things of the previous owner were unlucky, the steward threw away all the pots and pans and other utensils. I bought some home-cooked goods in the market first, and later there will be a batch of fine pottery, lacquerware, and copperware, some of which the steward has already withheld, and it will be delivered in two or three months. Daddy and Daddy.
However, just ten days later, the steward found a return with a somewhat strange face, and after sending away the people around him, he respectfully sent a gift slip in his hand to the old guy, and then said with a smiling face: "This is sent by our caravan on the Surabaya this morning, and it was sent to your house by name." I dared to take a look, and it was full of tribute from the Shanggong court......"
When the steward spoke, he had already seen what was written on the gift list, a gilded beast-foot copper cup, a red agate bowl embossed with dragon patterns, and a black-background lacquer food box. Bronze mirror with white jade and gold background...... There are more than 230 such over-the-top objects. Ordinary people take out a random piece at home and put it at home, then it is a sin to lose their heads.
Taking advantage of the fact that the attention of the non-return was on the gift list, the steward continued: "The tribute of the Southern Dynasty court is operated by our Surabaya, and even the entire Southern Dynasty court can't find these treasures on the gift list. You old man think about it, did this offend someone, they know that you are all great monks, and they don't dare to do it face to face, so they think of such a ...... by borrowing the hand of the Southern Dynasty."
"You think too much, it's useless for him to borrow anyone's hand." He put away the gift list with a smile, and then said to the steward indifferently: "If that person wants to borrow the hands of a few of us to destroy the Southern Dynasty, it's almost the same." If he wants to use the Southern Dynasty to deal with the old man with hundreds of thousands of mortal bodies, then his thoughts are not worth mentioning. β
After finishing speaking, he smiled and continued to the steward who was nodding in agreement: "If people send it with good intentions, it will be placed where it should be." The glazed night pot was sent to my old man's room, and the gilded copper cup was sent to Xiao Rensan......"
After instructing the steward to deliver the pleasing items on the gift list to a few people around him, he suddenly changed his words and continued: "When you leave the house in a while, go to a few houses across the street to have a look, and if there are any new people who have moved in the past few days, come back and talk to the old man." Also, keep an eye on the people you're looking for. Let's see if they meet up with strangers after they get off work. β
When he heard the last few words of whether he would return or not, the steward thought that the old man doubted himself, and hurriedly explained: "These people are all found by villains, and their net worth is innocent......
"I didn't say you, put your heart in your stomach." He smiled or not, then took out the gift list again, tore it in half without looking at it, handed half of the gift list to the steward's hand, and continued with a smile: "Do what the old man said, and the half of the things will be yours." That's what you're doing, and it's enough for you to live for a few lifetimes, right? β
The things on the gift list were in charge of the steward, and now he heard that the old guy was going to give him half of the treasure inside, and he felt dizzy at the moment, and the hand holding half of the gift list began to slowly tremble. Looking at the appearance of the steward, he smiled, and then continued: "Originally, my old man wanted you to check how many new faces have come to Jiankang City recently, but this is a bit difficult for you Surabaya number." Just do what I said just now, find out the neighbors around you and these people in the house, and your children and grandchildren will be stained with your ancestors. β
After listening to the words of no return, the steward no longer hesitated, and after facing the old man's luggage, he hurriedly ran out. Looking at his back, he smiled, and was about to go back to find his stupid son talking nonsense to relieve his boredom, when he suddenly heard Wu Mian's voice behind him: "Who is blind and will use these things to slap your ass?" β
"There are so many people in the world, there will always be one or two who are blind." After laughing, he glanced back at Wu Mian, and then handed the other half of the gift list in his hand to Wu Mian, stewed it for a while, and continued: "This gift list is also interesting, the things on it are similar to lacquerware and the like, which are today's things, but the rest of the things are mixed with a lot of things from the Han Dynasty." Guess where these things come from? β
Wu Mian looked at the gift list and sneered, then said, "From the monk's temple, these are all tributes donated to the temple. "Since the beginning of Sima Jin, Buddhism has flourished in the eastern territories. In the later troubled times, there were royal relatives and nobles, princes and important ministers who believed that if they sent their net worth to the temple to worship the Buddha, they would be able to cultivate a splendid afterlife. Otherwise, Wu Mian would not have gotten this mansion later.
After Wu Mian finished speaking, he burned the gift list in his hand with a fire, and then looked at the gift list that had turned into white ash, and continued: "That person still doesn't give up, do you think these things can really resolve the grievances?" β
"It's not necessarily the person you said" After laughing, he continued: "He's not that stupid......"
