Ma Mingshao did things neatly, less than half a day, the goods into the house, sent someone to report that the gifts have been raised, the rain in the courtyard over the wet ground, so the gifts are temporarily stacked in the flower hall. Qin Jue was overjoyed, and he wanted to screen it again, so he came to see it in person, and when he entered the door, he saw that the first row in the hall was hundreds of rolls of black cloth, stacked neatly, like a wall mountain, behind the black cloth was gray cloth, behind the gray cloth was green cloth, and the three-color cloth was built into three columns of walls.

His face turned blue when he landed, the boss was unhappy, and said with a cold face: "Brother Ma, what is the matter if we have no money in the number?" Even if there is no cash, there are many subordinate shops in the city, there are all kinds of antiques and treasures, and there are all kinds of Shu brocade and Su embroidery, what do you need to use to directly deploy it, I went to Hengshan to give gifts, what are you doing with these rags like tomb bricks?"

Ma Mingshao said with a smile: "The young master is angry, it is not that his subordinates are reluctant to prepare gold jewelry and beislangluo satin, just because the masters and wives of the Hengshan faction are all monks, escaping from the world and the dust, practicing quietly, how can they be greedy for those vulgar things? The subordinates pondered, since Lawyer Xin is going to succeed the head, then at the inauguration ceremony, the upper and lower people are bound to change new clothes, the Hengshan faction is still black, and the lay disciples under the door are also wearing light pigments, so the subordinates made this preparation, and it is expected that the head of Xinlu will not be able to accept the door. The young master also did not underestimate these fabrics, these are all worsted spinnings of 'Guilianchang', all of which are first-class high-quality, and another five horses were given to the head of Xinlu himself, and they were also Guilianchang's special tribute cloth for the royal family. ”

Qin Juexiang thought to himself, the Hengshan faction has always been known for its hard life, if you accept valuable treasures, it is inevitable that some people on the rivers and lakes will ridicule the new head for being greedy for money and good goods, even if Sister Xinlu likes it, she will definitely refuse to accept it. The nuns eat vegetarian food and recite Buddha every day, and they don't have any needs, and they really can't think of anything else except wearing this dress on their bodies. There are only 100 people in the Hengshan faction, and these cloths are enough for them to wear for a lifetime. smiled: "Brother Ma, this is a good method." Turning around the three cloth walls and continuing to look back, there were two small boxes on the ground, covered with red diamond snake skin, and some yellow velvet edges were slightly exposed at the seams of the box covers, which were tightly sealed and had been tied with yellow silk flowers. "What is this?"

Ma Mingshao smiled and went over to remove the lock, and as soon as the lid of the box was opened, a strange fragrance spread in an instant, not to mention the people in the hall, even the maidservants under the outer porch all snorted, raised their noses and sniffed. Seeing that Xuan Tengteng was softly covered with a layer of white cotton inside, Qin Juexiang was very surprised in his heart, pinched a piece of white cotton and smelled it, and said strangely: "What kind of cotton is this? It is so fragrant?" Ma Mingshao smiled: "Young master, look down again." ”

Qin Juexiang picked up the cotton as he said, and saw a long boxwood box horizontally placed in the yellow satin under the white cotton, with five strange words engraved on it. It turned out that the cotton was only used as a buffer, in order to protect the box inside. Ma Mingshao took out the wooden box and said: "This incense is called 'Crossing the Cause of Driving Away Incense', produced in Tianzhu, the roots are hollow, containing different kinds of spices, which can not only emit fragrance, but also delay time, it is to ignite each incense for six hours without extinguishing, it is extremely difficult to make, it is in Tianzhu itself, it is also quite a rare thing. This was originally a gift from the Tianzhu monk Ihamo to the presiding monk of Luomo Temple, because of the long distance, a total of five boxes were brought, each box contains 60 incense, only put the wooden box on the side of the niche on weekdays, you can make the room full of incense, Changyun is very cherished, has not burned a stick. Because his subordinates had given him a small favor, he ordered someone to ride a fast horse to plead this morning, so he got two of the boxes. ”

As he spoke, he opened the wooden box, and the fragrance in the room immediately increased several times, but it never became strong and pungent, it was still fresh and soft, like a spring breeze. Qin Juexiang smiled: "Your little Hui must be not small." I took a deep breath again, only to feel that this fragrance made people smell, and every pore was really comfortable, and I couldn't help but be very happy, thinking that girls like fragrance, and Sister Xinlu must be no exception, and said again and again: "This is good, this is good." Suddenly, he said: "Hey, why don't you buy some rouge gouache and send it together, I don't know which real estate is more expensive?" Ma Mingshao was stunned: "This ......"

Qin Juexiang smiled and said: "Don't say that you don't know, this thing, no one in our Qin family is more particular than you, what kind of incense powder do you have on your body? ”

Ma Mingshao was a little embarrassed: "Subordinate...... Hey, the subordinates don't use incense powder. As he spoke, he put the incense box back and took out a green vial from his arms: "This thing is called 'Hailan Jiao', which is a kind of perfume, a little drop, rubbed behind the ears, the smell is elegant, and it is cool and refreshing." Qin Juexiang took it and sniffed it, his eyes lit up, and he applauded repeatedly: "Well, this is good! How many do you have?" Ma Mingshao smiled embarrassedly: "It's not a secret, this product is produced in the bitter cold land of northern Liaoning, and only a drop can be refined from ten acres of flower fields, which is very precious, and his subordinates also bought it from other provinces, and there is only this bottle in his hand." ”

Qin Jue made a straight face: "Brother Ma, can my brother still covet your things? It's not for nothing to borrow a little temporarily, how much is the original price, and the money will be paid to the account." Ma Mingshao said: "Don't dare, don't dare, it's really gone." Seeing that Qin Juexiang was still unhappy, he said: "Young master, forgive your subordinates for talking too much, the disciples of Buddhism regard the flesh as a stinky skin, and the masters of the Hengshan faction must not wear makeup and dress up on weekdays, this kind of thing, it is useless to send it for fear." ”

Qin Juexiang thought to himself: "Everyone has a love for beauty, and nuns take advantage of the fact that no one is secretly painting and makeup at night, looking in the mirror, I'm afraid there are also them, but this gift can't be sent to the bright face." Thinking about it, Ma Mingshao also made sense of what he said, and threw the little green bottle back to him, saying: "The teachers don't need rouge perfume, don't you still have lay disciples, I'm also afraid that I will lose the etiquette and lose the courtesy, since you say so, then forget it." ”

He raised his hands and continued to look forward, and said, "Sister Xinlu was born to be good-looking, I don't know what it looks like when she dresses up?" After a while, I didn't know what to think, and my face was a little annoyed: "I have to keep my hair up first." ”

Ma Mingshao looked at his face, and he already understood a little, and smiled with him.

Qin Juexiang was led by him to look down, and the rest of the gifts had their own names, and most of them were ordinary. After turning around, I came back and didn't feel which one was more distinctive. "There are a lot of things, but I always feel that the weight is still poor." ”

Ma Mingshao said: "The subordinates still have an idea, you see that now Shaolin, Wudang although the talent withered, has become a broken house in the martial arts, those monks and Taoists are still living a leisurely life, the fight is nothing more than the rich temple property, although the Hengshan faction is famous, well-known in the martial arts, but the management is too inferior, why not buy some land around Hengshan, give them as a nunnery? Qin Juexiang laughed loudly: "Wonderful! You still have a way!" At that moment, the two discussed the amount of land that needed to be purchased, and Ma Mingshao asked people to hurry up and go first.

Qin Juexiang was anxious, and after eating at noon, he ordered someone to prepare a horse and a cart, ready to set off, and suddenly a warrior came to report, saying that the helmsmen of Yuci and Xinzhou rushed to the funeral, and hurriedly greeted Chang Sihao to go out to greet him, and led him to worship in front of the spirit.

He Younan, the helmsman of Yuci, is nearly seventy years old, his beard is gray and he doesn't speak much, and when he sees Qin Langchuan's ashes, he seems to think that he is also in his last years, and he feels quite desolate, and he can't help sighing. Lei Mingxiu, the helmsman of Xinzhou, was just in his early thirties, his eyes were resolute, his body was strong, he cried with tears, and he was quick to collect.

Although Chang Sihao was introduced, after all, he was not familiar with each other, and he only accompanied them on the side, and listened to them talk for a while, only talking about the revenge of Dongchang, and did not mention Qin Ziyin's humiliation. Qin Juexiang said: "That's the thing, Dongchang and our Liangzi, even if it is settled this time, but this matter is very important, the two of you can't talk to your subordinates first, so as not to leak." ”

Lei Mingxiu said indignantly: "Yes, Dongchang has a lot of eyeliner, his grandmother, maybe there will be a cat anywhere." As he spoke, his eyes swept around, as if there was someone lurking around the courtyard, and he would jump over and pull it out at any moment and beat him violently.

He Younan paced a few steps, stopped, swept the courtyard with his negative hand, and sighed lightly: "The old lady has contracted the front over the years, from light to dark, because she was afraid that the tree would attract the wind, but she didn't expect to end up with such an ending." This hatred, alas, difficult, difficult. Lei Mingxiu raised his eyebrows and said loudly: "Lord He Helm, what are you talking about!" He Younan glanced at him, and said calmly and calmly: "Young people don't know the height of the sky and the thickness of the brave blood, it is not old and afraid of things, since ancient times: the people do not fight with the officials." Dongchang has the power of the world, I am afraid that the old lady is alive, and there is nothing to be done about it, they are back in the dark, and it is inconvenient for us to find out, according to the old man's opinion, or to forbear, in order to calm the people's good. ”

Lei Mingxiu's face was angry, and he was about to speak, when Qin Juexiang waved his hand and said with a smile: "Yes, if you can get revenge, you can repay it, even if you can't repay it, the eldest husband can bend and stretch, and take one step at a time." Grandpa is in Japan, and he often mentions that He Helm is old and serious, and can take care of the overall situation, and now it is really not bad. Jue Xiang is young, impulsiveness is inevitable, today I have to listen to the teachings, and I have benefited a lot. ”

He Younan was quite pleased, he expected that even if Qin Juexiang a child said that he wanted revenge on the surface, he would be afraid of Dongchang in his heart, he was too old to fight for this old life, so he said this, which was intended to be tempting, seeing that he didn't dare to refute his words, he was very proud, and smiled with his white beard: "Don't dare to be." ”

Qin Juexiang smiled and said, "Master He doesn't have to be polite. He added: "When you arrive, I am about to leave, and the car outside is set, and this matter must not be delayed, so I will leave now." You two will stay at the helm for a few more days, and when I return, I will have something to discuss with you. Turning to Ma Mingshao, he said: "Lord He Duo is old, so he will arrange to live in the mansion and assign a few clever servants to serve the old man." ”

He Younan said: "How can this be done? The subordinates still go to the Huibin Building as usual." ”

Qin Jue frowned: "Does the old man think that there is a spirit shed in the mansion? That's not reluctant." ”

He Younan hurriedly shook his head: "No, no, no." Qin Juexiang smiled: "It's okay if it's not." Brother Ma, you go down and make arrangements. Ma Mingshao replied very neatly: "Yes!" and turned around.

Qin Juexiang stepped forward with a smile and took He Younan's hand: "Juexiang was in charge of the Qin family's door at the beginning, but he had no prestige, people were frivolous, and he couldn't convince the public, and now some people under his hands are either young and vigorous, or they have been senior for a long time, and they don't take the kid seriously, if everyone takes my words as a fart, then the order can't work, won't the Qin family become a plate of scattered sand?" Old man He has rich experience, has seen and heard widely, he has been the helmsman for so long, and there must be a lot of good strategies and methods for dealing with this kind of thing. ”

He always kept smiling when he spoke, looking extremely polite, Chang Sihao was looking sideways, but he felt a sharp cold light faintly revealed in his dark eyes.
