A great man from later generations once said: In this world, there is never love without reason! There is never hatred without reason!
Buddhism also says: Everything has its meaning, every person and situation has its boundaries, and there is a cycle of cause and effect.
Yin Can, as a new generation of the Mohist school, led the entire Mohist school, and followed Xiao Han all the way from Chang'an to Yangzhou, naturally not to fight an insignificant business war with him.
And Xiao Han, who has always been cautious and lazy, would not be so bored that he would compete in the ring with an organization that has been around for thousands of years.
To put it simply, these days, whether it is Yin Can uniting with merchants to squeeze out Xiao Han, or Xiao Han launching a run to counter Yin Can, or acquiring silk as a follow-up move.
To put it bluntly, the two of them are testing each other and weighing each other.
Weigh whether the other party is qualified to have an equal dialogue with you.
It is precisely because of this that the two parties tacitly limit their actions to an open business war!
Otherwise, whether it is the secret assassinations of the Mo family or the iron-blooded army of the Tang Dynasty behind Xiao Han, it will be an unbearable burden for the opponent!
If we really let go and fight, the best result is that Xiao Han unfortunately dies, and the Mo family is completely destroyed, and the inheritance of incense is cut off!
After leaving the tea shop, Xiao Han subconsciously took another look at the date on the invitation.
That’s right, the date written is today!
In other words, before the sun sets today, the owner of the greeting card will definitely come to visit him in person, otherwise it will be an extremely rude act.
He hurriedly found Xue Pan and without saying a word, he pulled her and walked home. He didn't even bother to take the packaged gouache, causing the female shopkeeper to chase her for several streets.
"Stop! I haven't given you any money yet! Hey, that little bastard, how can you pretend to be a big-tailed wolf if you don't have money? It's only natural that you still spend money on your wife? You can't bear to spend this little money. This girl is really blind. She followed you..."
Carrying a large bag of gouache and rushing to catch up, the female shopkeeper, who was originally smiling, turned her face faster than flipping through a book!
"Shut up! Give you money!"
Jiayi, who was guarding the secret, couldn't bear the shrew's scolding on the street, so he stepped out, dropped a bunch of copper coins, and went to get the baggage from the female shopkeeper's hand.
The female shopkeeper twisted her fat waist, and even though she didn't run very fast, her speed in receiving the money was top-notch. As soon as she grabbed it with her hand, the money was already in hand. Her movements were so fluent that even Jia Yi, who was excellent in martial arts, was a little ashamed.
"Just one guan of money? Not enough! Add these together, there are three guan and two hundred big men! [Biquge520 www.biquge520.me] Even if you are cheaper, you still need three guan of money!"
"What? Three pieces of money? Why don't you go and grab it?" A was shocked when he heard this!
Three guan of money was enough for him to buy twenty shi of grain. So much money for such a small bag? It wasn't even full?
The female shopkeeper grabbed the copper coins in one hand and the baggage in the other, and glared: "You man, you have never bought gouache for your wife at first glance, right? Our gouache is made from purple jasmine seeds, ground up and mixed with spices.
of……"
"Okay, okay, three guan! Three guan!" Seeing that Xiao Han and Xue Pan were almost gone, Jiayi was so anxious that he didn't bother to listen to her nagging anymore, and took out two more guan of money and stuffed it into her, and at the same time made up his mind with heartache.
, when you marry your wife in the future, you will definitely not buy her such deceptive things? In addition, you must reimburse the money!
I dragged Xue Pan all the way home. What was strange was that Xue Pan couldn't resist asking why he came back so suddenly.
"An important guest is coming today. Next time, I will go shopping with you and buy all the rouge and gouache in Yangzhou!"
After entering the house, Xiao Han looked around at the situation at home and kissed Xue Pan apologetically on the forehead.
Xue Pan, on the other hand, changed his jealous attitude towards Madam just now, nodded obediently towards him, turned around and went to the backyard with Xiao Ai, who was blushing because he witnessed the young lady getting close to her uncle.
After seeing off Xue Pan, Xiao Han didn't have time to breathe a sigh of relief. He immediately called for Butler Lu and told him the news that Juzi from the Mo family was coming to visit. He immediately stunned Butler Lu!
The Mohist school was once an academic school that was on equal footing with Confucianism! When someone else’s master came to visit his home, to put it bluntly, this was considered a break-up!
As a result, the Xiao family courtyard soon became lively, and all the servants in the house were urged to work by Butler Lu.
The floor was swept, the windows were cleaned, and even Xiaodong was ordered to climb up the ladder and wipe the plaque at the door carefully.
"Why haven't you come yet? Are you trying to trick us?"
Most of the time passed before I knew it.
Seeing that the sun was turning to the west, and the water at the door had been sprinkled five times, but there was not a single ghost, Xiao Han couldn't help but murmur in his heart.
I wonder if he put on a stupid official uniform just to welcome him? He's almost suffocated to death now?
Xiao Han's muttering was not loud, but Chief Cao next to him could hear it clearly. He sighed and explained to Xiao Han: "No, he will definitely come if he says he will come!"
"Oh!" Xiao Han glanced at Master Cao's office, shook his head, and said nothing.
In fact, he had no intention of letting Lao Cao come out today.
After all, Lao Cao’s current status, well, is really a bit embarrassing!
After careful investigation, he can be regarded as poaching someone else's corner, or digging out someone else's corner pillar. Who knows if they will fall out at that time...
I continued to sit in the concierge waiting boredly until the afterglow of the setting sun shone into the room through the window. Finally, a creaking sound was heard from the half-open door.
"Master Hou, here we come!"
Glancing out from the crack of the door, Xiaodong, who was guarding the door, quickly straightened his waist, silently turned his head and made a gesture to the concierge.
Upon seeing this, Xiao Han wanted to go out in person and see what the top leader of the Millennium School was like, but when he thought of Butler Lu's ancient etiquette procedures, he stayed where he was and did not play tricks.
There was a sound coming from the door, but Xiao Han couldn't hear what it was. He only saw Butler Lu coming out to greet him, and then the door opened wide!
"Master Marquis, the visitor, Steward Lu, has been confirmed. It's your turn to greet him in person." Knowing that Xiao Han was not familiar with ancient rituals, Master Cao saw this and reminded him aloud.
"okay!"
Xiao Han was stunned for a moment, then realized what he was doing, stretched out his hand to straighten the non-existent wrinkles on his official uniform, and then walked out of the concierge and headed towards the door.
"Hahahaha, it's really troublesome for a distinguished guest to come to our door..."
The first time he did this kind of thing, Xiao Han really had no experience, so he had to follow the example of those old foxes in Chang'an and walk out of the door with a smile on his face.
However, when he saw the people standing at the door clearly, the smile on his face instantly solidified!
At the door, four people stood next to a simple bullock cart.
The first one is a big shopkeeper of a cloth shop dressed as an old servant.
The second one is naturally the young man.
The third one is Xiaohe without a veil.
Xiao Han had already made some guesses about Xiao He who had appeared once in Hanzhong, but now that he saw it, it didn't surprise him too much!
But what really shocked him was the first four people!
