The day before the wedding, Jian Yong finally hurried back with Liu Biao's envoy Yi Ji, while Gan Ning and Tai Shi Ci also ran all night, pulling a cart of local specialties pearls, corals, and ivory back. On the way, they encountered Arriving at Wu'an State, who had just sent Liu Yu to Chang'an and returned to Qingzhou.
By the way, Wu Anguo should have arrived at Mount Tai early if it hadn't been for Liu Yu's incident. However, Kong Rong was afraid of an accident on the road and had to ask Wu Anguo to see Liu Yu off in person. After all, the place in Yongzhou was already in chaos.
By the time Liu Yu was sent to Chang'an, Liu Yu had completely calmed down. However, looking at the group of ragged ministers, Liu Yu was obviously twitching. Unfortunately, he was picked up by Taiwei Yang Biao and saw Liu Yu off. Within a hundred meters, Wu Anguo quickly left this dangerous place.
After that, Wu Anguo rushed all the way and finally arrived at Fenggao before Chen Xi got married. He could be regarded as an acquaintance of Guan Yu, Zhang Fei and Hua Xiong. Naturally, Hua Xiong had to come to greet them personally when he saw them.
"Hahaha, Anguo, Xingba, Ziyi, if you come here one day later, the military advisor will definitely be furious." Hua Xiong laughed and said, looking at the three people who were dusty.
"Huh, we're going to get gifts." Gan Ning said dissatisfiedly, "Here's one for you." Gan Ning took out a small egg-sized pearl from his arms and threw it to Hua Xiong, "I'll let you see it then. A gift from my brother.¡±
Gan Ning was already extremely tacky, but the prodigal¡¯s attitude of spending money also shocked many people, such as Hua Xiong. Although pearls the size of small eggs have been found in Yuzhou. But I have never seen a general like Gan Ning who was not familiar with him throw one directly at him.
"Zijian, take it, it's worthless." Tai Shici waved his hand and said. "Although it's quite big, it's really worthless." Taishi Ci said as he took out a larger, round pearl from the pocket hanging on his waist. "That place has been around for many years, and every family has it. Only us locals have it." The leopard thinks it¡¯s valuable.¡±
Hua Xiong almost spit out a mouthful of old blood. Wherever it is so fierce, every family has pearls. Doesn¡¯t this force me to commit robbery?
"So I prepared a bucket of colorful pearls very tackily." Gan Ning said with a proud look on his face.
"Colorful?" Hua Xiong's eyes almost bulged out.
"Yes, it's colorful. That bucket is half as good as mine." Tai Shici felt that his originally elegant self had become tacky since he followed Gan Ning, but this kind of thing was quite shocking, a bucket of colorful pearls.
As he spoke, Gan Ning also took out a few pearls of other colors and said, "I'll take you there if I have the chance in the future. The cheap and expensive things there are exactly the opposite."
"Then it's settled, I also want to visit that kind of place." Hua Xiong laughed, he was very interested in the kind of place Gan Ning mentioned.
"Let's go, let's go, let's go deliver the gifts first. Lend me a few people. Go to Mi's house and get some gift boxes for me, Cabbage. They have to be delivered today at the latest. It would be embarrassing to give them away tomorrow." Gan Ning He looked up at the sun, then turned to Hua Xiong and asked.
"No problem. The Mi family has always had gift boxes these days. Come with me and take a shower and freshen up. By the way, do you two want to send them together or separately?" Hua Xiong nodded. It was too late to send it, since they were all colleagues after all, so Hua Xiong planned to help.
He took Wu Anguo to Mi's store, took out all the gifts and started wrapping them, looking at the dazzling array of jewelry. Hua Xiong couldn't help but feel jealous. Where did Gan Ning rob? This is really a bucket of colorful pearls. Although the white ones are more than half, there are actually various colors.
"Carry it away, carry it away." After Gan Ning packed the gifts, he wrote a gift list, and then ordered Hua Xiong's men to carry the box towards Chen Xi's house.
"You have robbed some small country!" Hua Xiong looked at the nine ivory tusks more than three feet long wrapped in red cloth, the eight pearls almost as big as goose eggs, and the huge fire-red coral nearly eight feet tall. Hua Xiong's eyes were shining. Hua Xiong, who lives in the mainland, had never seen such a thing before.
"These things are very precious in that place, but here, tut tut tut, you know." Gan Ning, who had just taken a shower and was wet, laughed, "If it weren't for lack of time, I could have searched twice more, but unfortunately there was not enough time. ¡±
"If you continue to search, we won't be able to come back in time." Taishi Ci, who had just finished taking a bath, glanced at Gan Ning with contempt, "If you can't catch up, the congratulations from the military advisor will be completely worthless."
"Let's go, let's go, otherwise we'll miss the time." Gan Ning finished washing, changed his clothes and felt dry.
"Mine is good too." Wu Anguo sighed and said. Compared with Gan Ning's tacky gift, Kong Rong's gift to him was much simpler. There was no jewelry, but he gave itI also prepared several volumes of bamboo slips from the Confucius period, and prepared two pieces of white jade, one piece of jade, and one piece of Panlong incense burner. However, these are ancient relics with some history. Apart from these, the rest is a hundred catties of gold and silver packed in boxes. .
? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? but kong rong was a wealthy man from a certain perspective.
Chen Xi's backache has been caused by bowing to people in the past two days. Some people can be dealt with by the housekeeper, but some people have to be greeted by Chen Xi himself. Chen Xi has just discovered that Guo Jiahe, who has been making trouble all day long and is dressed in Tsing Yi, is basically Jia Xu and Li Ru, who did not change, turned out to be not poor at all.
It should be said that the official-oriented thinking of this era and even later has led to them having extra money no matter how poor they are. As for where the money came from, Chen Xi is too lazy to care. Man Chong will handle these matters. According to Man Chong With such an upright character, as long as someone dares to touch his bottom line, he will fight with the other person without caring about the other person's identity.
¡¾Suddenly I feel that getting married is not easy. ¡¿ Chen Xi sighed and looked at the place where Fan Liang lived. The envoys of Li Que and Guo Si were somewhat different from what Chen Xi expected. After they arrived, they gave the imperial edict to Chen Xi and conferred the title of Marquis of Yingshang Ting. The same lady's documents were also decentralized. When they arrived at Chen Lan and Fan Jian's place, unlike Chen Lan's ecstasy, Fan Jian was obviously unhappy.
"Long time no see, military advisor." Gan Ning, who was dressed in a brocade robe, saluted Chen Xi, then laughed and said, "My performance did not disappoint you, did I? Hahahahaha!"
"I've seen the military advisor." Taishi Ci bowed his hands.
"Zichuan, after we say goodbye in Hulao, we meet again." Wu Anguo bowed his hands to Chen Xi.
"I'm very satisfied." Chen Xi was a little helpless at Gan Ning's escape, but he still nodded, then returned a salute to Taishi Ci, then turned to Wu Anguo and said, "Yes, Brother Anguo has come to serve in our Taishan Mountain idea.¡±
"Wen Ju asked me to stay here and obey Duke Xuande's orders." Wu Anguo said calmly. He and Kong Rong were not masters and servants, but Kong Rong saved his life, and he was willing to die in repayment.
"Okay, okay." Chen Xi had a look of joy on his face. It took him thirty moves with Lu Bu to defeat the master. Not to mention other martial arts, he was absolutely guaranteed.
Butler Chen was frightened again when he took the gift list. He had been frightened several times by gift lists from various families in the past few days, but this time the gift list from Gan Ning and Taishi Cihe still frightened him.
¡°Nine ivory tusks three feet tall, a bucket of pearls of five colors¡¡± Steward Chen¡¯s old-fashioned voice appeared outside Chen¡¯s house.
Chen Xi raised his head and looked at Gan Ning with a smile on his face, "You have already been to Zhuya County, right? There is indeed a need to do business there, right?"
¡°It¡¯s absolutely right to call this independent business the Tu Emperor. As the military advisor said, there is no problem in Qingzhou¡¯s prosperity relying on it.¡± Gan Ning wiped away the playful smile on his face.
"It can only be used as a temporary money bag, but it's enough. I'm sorry to bother you." Chen Xi shook his head, "Come early for tomorrow's wedding. There are things you want to witness, so don't forget it." (To be continued)
