When Mr. Bao said this, Qin Yu raised his eyebrows. He knew that Mr. Bao would not say this for no reason. It seemed that Mr. Bao was very confident in the contents of the wooden box.
After untying the rope on the wooden box, Qin Yu opened the wooden box. When the wooden box was opened to reveal the true contents of the items inside, Qin Yu's eyes were still brightened by his current state of mind and knowledge.
"Senior Brother Bao, this gift is too valuable." Qin Yu closed the wooden box almost instantly, while Meng Yao and Mo Yongxin on the side just took a quick glance. They only knew that there seemed to be a scroll inside the wooden box.
Bamboo slips.
Is the bamboo slip an antique?
Meng Yao and Mo Yongxin guessed in their hearts that if it was just an antique, they wouldn't let Qin Yu say that. Even if it was an antique, it was definitely not an ordinary antique.
"Expensive or not, I got this thing by chance, but it's of no use to me. I just borrowed flowers to offer to Buddha." Mr. Bao replied with a smile.
"Senior Brother Bao, this..."
"Okay, don't shirk it. Just treat it as your wish. After all, you called me senior brother, but I took advantage."
Mr. Bao had a tone and demeanor that refused to refuse, so Qin Yu could only nod his head, and then said to Meng Yao who was standing aside: "Meng Yao, you should hold this box yourself. This gift is too precious."
"Need not."
Mr. Bao shook his head and said to Qin Yu: "Junior brother Qin, maybe it's because you have only been around for so short a time, so you don't understand some of the rules in our metaphysical world. Today, junior brother Qin, you will have a lot of weddings."
People from the metaphysical world came to participate.”
"Senior Brother Bao, I only informed some acquaintances." Qin Yu answered.
"Junior Brother Qin, you don't understand. If you were just a legendary grandmaster, maybe this wedding would be your private matter, but you are not. You are now a national master and a national master recognized by the entire metaphysics world. Especially Junior Brother Qin, you have just
When you take office, those aristocratic families and sects in the metaphysical world will definitely come to congratulate you with gifts."
Mr. Bao's words made Qin Yu frown, because he didn't notify anyone in the metaphysics world at all. Except for a few close forces and sects, no one else was informed.
"Junior brother Qin, the world of metaphysics is just like the Jianghu in the past, and you want to be the leader of the martial arts alliance. If the leader of the martial arts alliance gets married, is it possible that the big sects of the Jianghu will ignore it?" Mr. Bao thought of the mysterious people he encountered in recent days.
People from the academic world continued: "These people come to congratulate you. Firstly, they hope to have a good relationship with Junior Brother Qin, but they also do it out of face."
"Imagine the wedding of a martial arts leader. If someone from a martial arts sect didn't get the invitation or notice, what would other people in the martial arts think? Would they think that the newly appointed martial arts leader has opinions about the sect?
The water in the metaphysical world is deeper than the so-called rivers and lakes."
Mr. Bao's words awakened Qin Yu. It seemed that people in the metaphysics world wanted to attend his wedding not just to have a good relationship with him. It was like the so-and-so summits that are often held now. Those who participate may not necessarily have the opportunity.
Speaking on stage is an honor and an affirmation of one's own strength.
"Junior Brother Qin, you can just accept the gifts here. I know that many sects have prepared great gifts. As for the rest, you can leave it to me."
Mr. Bao walked aside with a smile, walked to the person responsible for registering the names and gifts of the guests, took the paper and pen from the other person, and just stood there.
"Senior Brother Bao, how can I let you do this?" Qin Yu said quickly.
"It's okay. He doesn't understand the rules of our metaphysical world. In short, leave this matter to me. Junior Brother Qin, all you have to do is greet people with a smile, and arrange for them to sit down."
After hearing what Mr. Bao said, Qin Yu stopped insisting. If there are rules in the metaphysics world, then others really can't handle it. As for the seats, it's easy to arrange. The state guesthouse is big enough, so we can add a few more temporarily.
The table is just fine.
At that moment, Qin Yu gave instructions to the staff, and at the same time, the second car also arrived at the door of the State Guesthouse. The car stopped, and Master Zhiren and another eminent monk from Guangxiao Temple appeared in front of Qin Yu.
Master Zhiren and the eminent monk saw Mr. Bao sitting at the table beside Qin Yu, holding a pen in one hand and paper in the other. There was no surprise on their faces. Master Zhiren held a gift in his hand and faced Qin Yu.
Go.
"Master Qin is getting married today. Zhiren congratulates Master Qin on behalf of many monks from Guangxiao Temple."
After saying that, he handed over the gift.
"I'm very happy that Master can come to the wedding. Master, please come in." Qin Yu followed Mr. Bao's instructions and handed the gift directly to him, while he gestured with his hands for the two masters to come in and take their seats.
Master Zhiren nodded, and the two masters walked towards the door under the guidance of the staff. At the same time, after Bao Laoji opened the gift and took a look, he quickly wrote a line of words on the paper, and then handed it over.
Gave it to his apprentice.
Qian Duoduo took the paper handed over by his master and took a deep breath. The next moment, a clear and bright voice sounded in the area, and even the guests sitting inside could hear it.
"Guangxiao Temple presents a box of thousand-year-old agarwood that has been consecrated."
Just a dozen words, but it made many people who were communicating in the Deguo Hotel shut up and look towards the door. The relatives of the Qin family were okay. What did the thousand-year-old agarwood consecrated mean to them?
Yes, they don't know how much it's worth.
But some people in the Meng family and the Mo family know how precious this gift is. Thousand-year-old agarwood is already a priceless treasure, and some Buddhists have secret techniques for refining agarwood. After their refining, this agarwood is
It is considered a blessing. As long as you light a wisp of agarwood, the whole room will be filled with the faint fragrance of agarwood.
The aroma of agarwood can not only calm the mind, but also make one become a ghost that dare not invade. The most terrifying thing is that it has the function of prolonging life. Even with the power and wealth of the Meng family and the Mo family, it is difficult to buy it, because it is really
It's too scarce.
When the two masters Zhiren who had just stepped through the door heard Qian Duoduo's clear and bright voice, they paused and looked at each other. They knew that Master Qin had some advice from his senior brother about the rules of the metaphysical world.
Still understand.
"So that's what it means." Qin Yu, who was standing at the door, blinked a few times. He finally understood what Mr. Bao meant. This kind of ritual of reading out guests' gifts existed in ancient times, and it has been passed down as a tradition in the metaphysical world.
In traditional culture, it is understandable that such customs exist.
To use a popular saying today, this is also a ceremony to show off wealth, an opportunity to reveal one's sect and family heritage.
Not far from the State Guesthouse, there were many old people standing there quietly. When Qian Duoduo's voice reached their ears, except for a few old people whose expressions remained unchanged, many of them changed their expressions.
For a moment, because the consecrated thousand-year-old agarwood is more precious than their winning gift, their gift is inferior in comparison.
However, there are always opportunistic people in this world. After hearing the voice of Qian Duoduo, many old people put down the box in their hands and then picked up another box.
It is the thought of many sects and families to prepare two congratulatory gifts, one good and one average, and decide which gift to send based on the situation. However, the present congratulatory gift from Guangxiao Temple has disrupted the thoughts and plans of these people.
Guangxiao Temple has given such a heavy gift. If those sects and families with a higher status than Guangxiao Temple send less congratulatory gifts than Guangxiao Temple, wouldn't it be embarrassing?
Everyone knows that the gifts given by many forces in the metaphysical world at Qin Guoshi's wedding will probably start to spread throughout the metaphysical world before the wedding is over. Therefore, for the sake of their respective face and status, they also have to come up with expensive gifts.
.
It can be said that Qin Yu made a mistake. He didn't know the rules of the metaphysics world, so he didn't invite many people from the metaphysics world. He invited Guangxiao Temple because he had a good relationship with Guangxiao Temple and Master Zhiren.
The relationship is very good, even Zhuiying got it at Guangxiao Temple.
And Guangxiao Temple just prepared a generous gift, which was tantamount to cheating other sects and families, but even if these sects and families knew that they had been cheated, they could only bite the bullet.
The third car then arrived in front of the State Guesthouse, this time it was two cars together, Li Weijun who got off the first car and Mr. Zheng from the Zheng family in Hong Kong who Qin Yu helped solve the feng shui of the family cemetery.
The second car got off the train with several old men, all from Hong Kong, and the former richest man, Mr. Li.
Several old men and Li Weijun came hand in hand. Facing these old men, Qin Yu did not dare to make excuses. It was not because of the wealth these old men possessed, but because these old men represented the symbols of an economic era. They were all
The pinnacle figure in a certain profession.
Although Mr. Li and the others have great backgrounds, they know that they are not the protagonists today. After a few polite words with Qin Yu, they entered the State Guesthouse under the guidance of the staff. As for the gift package, Mr. Qian did not let Qian Duoduo read it out.
, because these few do not belong to the metaphysical world.
After Mr. Li and others entered, the next people to arrive were Xu Yan and Xu Cheng, the current and future heads of the Xu family.
"Congratulations to the young master on your wedding." Xu Yan didn't say much. After sending the congratulatory gifts, he did not walk into the State Guesthouse, but stood on the side of Mr. Bao, because in Xu Yan's eyes, their ancestors were the old masters.
Servants, then the Xu family are also servants of the young master. Now that the young master is getting married, how can the Xu family sit in it?
No matter how Qin Yu tried to persuade him, Xu Yan was unwilling to leave. In the end, Qin Yu had no choice but to give up. After Mr. Bao opened the gift box given by the Xu family, he suddenly stood up from his chair, and then, somewhat excitedly,
He wrote a line of words on the paper and gave it to his apprentice.
Xu family, this gift is not inferior to the gift I gave you, it is even better in some aspects. (To be continued)
