Chapter 162 Treasure Pavilion

After Feng Bao left, Min Qiuye snorted coldly, "The fifty birthday is my birthday?" My parents are my body and hair. What kind of birthdays are he, who has incomplete six senses, still have a birthday. In my opinion, celebrating a birthday is fake, and making money is real.

I had to smile bitterly, the people need money to spend the winter, and the emperor also needs money to celebrate the New Year. It’s a pity that the people in the capital only see that they have no money but cannot see that the people in Jinling are not fed and their clothes are not covered. Alas! By the way, Lord Min, do you go or not?

Min Qiuye said, I will make things difficult for him when I go, and the two of them can't pee in the same pot.

I smiled and said, of course you two can't pee together. He squatted and peed, but we men urinated while standing.

Min Qiuye laughed and scolded: "I'm sorry. This birthday, he posted so many invitations, so I want to go and see what's going on.

When I returned to Jianghu Department, I gave the invitation to Zhang Youqian, and Zhang Youqian said that I would go and have a look.

I said you hate him very much, why do you want to go there?

Zhang Youqian said, a few days ago, my father wrote me a letter saying that we had some business in Beijing that weaving with Jiangnan, which made me have a good relationship with the dead eunuch. My father, who is immortal, is getting too much, and why do he even have to make money from these people? If I were beaten to death, I would not deal with them.

I said that your father is Zhang Baiwan, and you can only be Zhang Youqian.

On the tenth day of the lunar month, we met with Min Qiuye and took a carriage to go there.

The three of them gathered together, but the gift became a little shabby.

Min Qiuye prepared three kilograms of salted fish.

I said, Lord Min, can’t we be more generous? Min Qiuye rolled his eyes and bought ten kilograms of salted fish after autumn and prepared to pickle them for the winter. He took out three kilograms at once, which was already very considerate. What are you preparing?

I smiled and raised the gift box in my hand. It was a Kanto ginseng. Not long ago, I was injured. Feng Linggan went to visit me and gave me ten kilograms of Kanto ginseng. I had a lot of leftovers. I took one out of it. It was impolite to come and not talk to you. It was a true friendship.

As for Zhang Youqian, he had half a seal of silver. In the Ming Dynasty, a seal of silver was 500 taels, and he gave half a seal of silver, which was 250 taels. One means Feng Ling's sense is 25, and the other is, half a seal also has the meaning of "half crazy", and the irony is very obvious.

It was already evening when we arrived at Juzhuang. The red lanterns were hung high, and the lights were decorated and lively. There were crowds of people coming to celebrate their birthdays, and there were a long queue. Min Qiuye frowned and said, "A man from the fourth-rank inner court young minister will have so many people to give gifts." It's so sad."

After saying that, he turned around and was about to leave. I grabbed him and said, since he was here, wouldn’t he waste the gilded invitation and three pounds of salted fish if he didn’t go in and check it out? As he said, the three of them lined up to accompany the gifts. There were three gift platforms at the door, and six small eunuchs were taking notes to record, and someone was diversioning them in front.

It was our turn, the eunuch asked, how much is the gift?

Min Qiuye was stunned, what does it mean?

The little eunuch said that today, the godfather celebrated his birthday, and there were too many people coming, so he couldn't sit in the middle hall. The manager said that if there were more than one thousand taels, there would be more than five hundred taels to the middle hall, and if there were less than five hundred taels to the west hall.

Min Qiuye said that my annual salary was only 120 taels, and it was ridiculous that he only had so many rituals for a birthday.

When the little eunuch saw that we were not moving, he said unhappy, "If you don't go, get out." Didn't you see that we were busy. Zhang Youqian was about to get angry, but I quickly stopped him and said, "What the three of us brought is a priceless treasure."

What priceless treasure?

I pointed to Min Qiuye's bamboo basket and said, "This is the fragrance in my stomach."

The little eunuch turned out to be a bamboo basket. When he opened it, three pounds of salted fish were smelly and said angrily, "Get out of the junk thing!"

I said this is wrong with you. This is the secret salted fish heirloom. The fresh fish drowned in the stencil, and then covered it with rotten socks with smelly shoes and rotten socks to make such delicious salted fish. How can it be said to be a ragged thing?

The little eunuch was teased by me and was about to get angry, but was stopped by another person, saying that today is the birthday of his godfather and the visitor is a guest. Don’t talk too much, why not arrange it quickly?

The little eunuch looked disgusted and said, "Come with me." He brought the three of us to the west hall. In fact, the little eunuch was negligent. The invitations of the three of us were all top-notch. There was a VIP passage in Juzhuang, but he didn't expect that we would come to queue up. Min Qiuye did not object, so we came to the east hall.

There are nearly twenty banquets in the east hall. From a rough calculation, there are nearly a hundred tables in the three halls. At least thousands of people must attend the birthday party today. The hall is full of people, and because the three of us are light gifts, they are arranged in the corner.

The people around the table looked mostly dressed up by merchants and looked sad. After chatting carefully, they realized that these people were silk merchants from various prefectures in Jiangnan. Jiangnan weaving and collected 100,000 pieces of Sujin and paid less than one-tenth of the silver. This time, Feng Lingyan celebrated his birthday, and they were invited to the banquet with gifts.

Min Qiu Ye asked, since that's the case, you can never come?

Nasi Trading: This year our business was entrusted 3,000 kilograms of raw silk, and I sold the iron to collect it from the mulberry house. At most, I was scolded and cut off the gifts. I could get back a few more money. Otherwise, the whole family would have to drink the northwest wind.

The other people agreed, yes, this year, natural disasters and man-made disasters were originally one tael of raw silk per pound, but this year, Amitabha Buddha would be able to get back six cents.

Min Qiuye listened and said nothing.

At the banquet, there were only three meats and three vegetables per table, and some melon seeds. This was not a treat, but this was just a beggar. Zhang Youqian shouted, "What a broken dish, there is not even a fish!"

The little eunuch listened and turned around and walked out. Not long after, he brought a plate of fish and put it on the table. The fish you want was coming.

It was the three pounds of stinky salted fish brought by Min Qiuye.

Zhang Youqian said, there must be a bar?

The little eunuch sneered, where is the shark fin, the sea cucumber, and the abalone? Do you want to come some too?

Zhang Youqian said it's OK, I'm not picky about food.

The little eunuch said that you will be your dream of spring and autumn. If you want sea cucumbers and abalone, then go to the middle hall. Not only will there be shark fin bird's nest, but also Liu Jingrong, the leader of the four beautiful girls in Qinhuai, sing a small song. If you have money, you should go, you are poor.

Zhang Youqian suddenly became furious. Do you think I have no money?

The little eunuch mocked, "Do you take it out if you have money?"

Zhang Youqian took out a hundred 100 taels of silver notes from his arms, threw them on the table with a slam, and said: My surname is Zhang, the arrogant Zhang, and his name is Zhang Youqian, which means that he is rich is arrogant, why?

The little eunuch sneered: It is illegal to print silver notes privately.

I stopped me and said, "Why are you angry with him?" My father-in-law, are we visitors? Is it okay to ask for some tea?"

The little eunuch said, there is tea, but water, there are many people today, so I have to drink water and boil it yourself.

Zhang Youqian said it was unreasonable!

I said, "Don't be impatient, boil water by yourself, right? I'll go now." Zhang Youqian said you want to go by yourself, but I haven't even burned water at home. I laughed and pulled him out, and Zhang Youqian said, "You really go to boil water."

I said I wouldn't burn the fire, but it was quite simple to burn his house with a fire.

Zhang Youqian said that we should do this, let’s act separately.

When I came to the kitchen, I saw dozens of chefs cooking enthusiastically, including Zhuge Xianyu’s Bianyifang. I thought to myself that today the whole restaurant in Jinling City came to help, and it was difficult to set the fire. So, I walked through several courtyards and came to the backyard.

This is Feng Linggan's back garden, with a rockery lake in the middle, and a loft on the north shore of the lake. Seeing the three words "Treasure Pavilion", I thought I hadn't stole things for a long time and had become unfamiliar with my skills. It should be reasonable to use this and be proficient in business.

Just as I was about to go in, a figure flashed and a woman in red flashed into the treasure pavilion. Seeing that the woman looked familiar, I followed her. She tiptoed over and the lock on the door had been opened. I pushed the door open and thought to myself that Feng Linggan was hiding something treasure here.

The light in the Treasure Pavilion was very dark, and my luck gathered in my eyes and gradually adapted to the environment. I thought there would be a sea of ​​gold and silver, but I expected that it would be empty.

I felt bad, and suddenly the wind suddenly came from behind me. I felt alert, took a step, flashed sideways, and my hands were like lightning, and I grabbed the man's wrists. The hands were like soft horns, which felt good.

The woman said, is it you?

I said it looks so familiar. It turned out to be Lin Hongyi, a woman I met outside Yangzhou City that day. At that time, I followed her three-tale sword book. I said Miss Lin, it’s been a long time since I saw you.

Lin Hongyi said, let go.

I let go as I said, and Lin Hongyi turned her palms to attack my Danzhong acupoint again. I thought to myself that this little girl was so cruel and then grabbed her wrist. Lin Hongyi said angrily, I'll let you let go! I said you promise not to do it?

I promise!

As soon as I let go, she wanted to take action again. I stopped him and said, "If you do it again, I will call you to catch the thief."

Lin Hongyi said, aren’t you a thief?

I said no, I came in seriously by invitations, but why are you here sneakingly?

Lin Hongyi said that Feng Ling was making a lot of money, and I was afraid that he would be punished if he died. Helping him disperse his wealth is also considered accumulating good deeds.

I couldn't help but admire it. It was the first time I heard someone stealing something so openly. By the way, your name is Lin Hongyi, what is your relationship with Li Qingyi?

Li Qingyi is the ancestor of Chrysanthemum and the leader of the thief sect, and is of the same origin as our thief sect master. I saw that the thief sect used by Lin Hongyi was somewhat similar to our thief sect, so I was sure that she was also a member of the thief sect.

Lin Hongyi said, what does my relationship with him have to do with you?

I was about to shout, Lin Hongyi kept saying, "Don't call me, Li Qingyi is my master."

It turned out to be my nephew, so I said, come on, call me uncle and listen.

Lin Hongyi said angrily, "You take advantage of me?"

I said Li Qingyi was my uncle, and you wouldn't suffer any loss by calling me a junior uncle. As I said that, I made a unique contact gesture for the thief people in the stolen sect. Lin Hongyi said, are you really a stolen sect? I laughed and Li Qingyi mentioned to you that Ximen blows the lights again.

Lin Hongyi then believed it and said, since they are all fellow disciples, according to the rules of the sect, I came first in the treasure pavilion today, so don’t interfere.

I said that's not OK. Now I am the captain of Liusanmen. As the saying goes, when you meet, you have to disagree. I will call someone to catch the thief. Lin Hongyi said that you are so hateful. In this way, you will be divided into 30%.

I shook my head, 50%.

Lin Hongyi: 40%!

I shook my head, 60%.

Lin Hongyi finally couldn't beat me, saying 50% of the time it was.

The two of them rummaged through the boxes and cabinets. After a quarter of an hour, they finally had no choice. Lin Hongyi said, "There is still a treasure pavilion, but there is no bullshit." I said there was a pavilion next to it, which seemed to be called the Dutu Pavilion. Lin Hongyi said, "Is Feng Linggan's money in the Dutu Pavilion?"

I said it is very likely to regard money as dirt. However, there seem to be dozens of master guards there, and it may be difficult to get close.

Lin Hongyi said, what is his purpose in building this treasure pavilion?

I looked around and there was a Buddhist niche in the middle, vaguely emitting light. We walked over and saw a glass bottle carved with the nine dragon patterns. The bottle was filled with liquid, and a delicate stone emitting a faint light.

This stone seemed to contain infinite energy, but it was held without vomiting, as if it was isolated by something. Intuition told me that this stone was probably not that simple. Lin Hongyi pointed to a floating object on it and asked, what is this?

I looked carefully and couldn't help but smile, no wonder Feng Linggan called this treasure pavilion.

Lin Hongyi lost interest and said that it would be better for you and I to join forces. We will carry forward our unique skills in the thief. Today we will make a big fuss in the dirt pavilion?

I said no, and as I said that, I held the bottle in my hand, Lin Hongyi asked, what's the use of asking for this broken thing?

I pointed to the bottle and said, "Isn't this called the Treasure Pavilion?" It contains Feng Linggan's treasures.

What baby?
