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
Arrive at Wu'an State, who had just sent Liu Yu to Chang'an and returned to Qingzhou.
It is said that 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 was 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 a gift." 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 buddy.”
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, people like Gan Ning were not familiar with him.
I have never seen a general throw one directly at him.
"Zijian, take it, it's worthless." Taishi Ci waved his hand and said, "Although it's quite big, it's really worthless." Taishi Ci took out one from the pocket hanging on his waist.
A bigger, round pearl, "That place has been around for years, and every household has it, so only us local leopards think it's valuable."
Hua Xiong almost spit out a mouthful of old blood. Why is it so fierce? Every family has pearls. Doesn't this force me to rob?
"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." Taishi Ci 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 will take you there if I have the opportunity 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 and deliver the gifts first. Lend me a few people, and Cabbage, go to Mi's house and get me some gift boxes. 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 dragged Wu Anguo to Mi's shop, took out all the gifts and started wrapping them. Looking at the dazzling array of jewelry, Hua Xiong couldn't help but feel a little jealous. Did Gan Ning rob that place? This was really a bunch of colorful pearls, although they were white.
It’s more than halfway through, but it’s really a variety of 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.
"What small country have you robbed?" 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 brightly. Hua Xiong, who lived in the mainland, had never seen such a thing before.
"These things are very precious in that place, but here, you know, tsk tsk tsk." 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 it's a pity that I didn't have 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, it will be completely worthless to come back to make up for the military advisor's congratulations."
"Let's go, let's go, otherwise we'll miss the time." Gan Ning finished washing and combing, 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 a few bamboo slips from the Confucius period.
, and prepared two pieces of white jade, a jade Ruyi, and a 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.
It is said that from a certain point of view, Kong Rong was a rich man. He was worthy of being a descendant of a saint. His family had a long history and he could use just a few things as gifts.
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. These matters are handled by Man Chong. 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.
[Suddenly I felt that getting married was 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 Yingshang.
Tinghou, the same wife's documents were also handed over to Chen Lan and Fan Jian. Unlike Chen Lan's ecstasy, Fan Jian was obviously not happy.
"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! Hahahahaha!"
"I've seen the military advisor." Taishi Ci bowed his hands in a salute.
"Zichuan, 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." 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 said with 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 long, one bucket of pearls of five colors..." Steward Chen's old-fashioned voice appeared outside Chen's house.
Chen Xi looked up 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 unique business a local emperor. As the military advisor said, there is no problem in Qingzhou's prosperity relying on it." Gan Ning wiped away the playful smile from before.
"It can only be used as a temporary purse, but it's enough. I'm sorry to trouble you." Chen Xi shook his head, "Come early for tomorrow's wedding. There are things you need to witness, so don't forget it."
