"Are you prepared to pay the price for stealing someone from Yu Wensheng?" Gongshu Jiruo said calmly.
Miku was dignified and combined, he closed his eyes and said softly: "My Buddha is compassionate and saves all sentient beings. The poor monk just wants to save a destined person who is trapped in the abyss. It is okay to pay some price for this, but I, Wujue Temple Blessed by the radiance of the righteous path, it is natural that evil spirits and crooked paths need to be avoided, let alone asking for them?"
This man didn't know whether he had learned Buddhist principles over the years or the words of a magic stick. What he meant was that the other party had stepped into his territory, like a real dragon trapped in a shallow shoal, unable to make big waves.
Obviously, Mi Ku didn't understand Yu Wensheng thoroughly enough. He was as difficult to deal with as maggots on the tarsal bones, both disgusting and difficult to remove.
Gongshu Ruoru hadn't argued with him about this, and he hadn't yet made up his mind about who this "Aqing" was now. Therefore, when Mi Kuruo was arguing with Yu Wensheng, he had no intention of intervening.
He said coldly and calmly: "Is this dragon-coiled carriage really made by this Ah Qing? Who did he study under, and he has such skill and skill in making tools?"
Miku held the rosary beads in his hand and slowly twisted them: "It's up to you to distinguish between true and false. I, a poor monk, have no right to comment on your work as craftsmen."
Gongshu Jiruo said: "Looking at the agitation, it can be said that it is easy for him to obtain the one hundred spring reward coins, so her next display should also follow one after another."
From his tone, it sounded like he thought "Ah Qing" was showing off his cleverness, and he didn't think favorably of him.
Mi Ku asked him: "Then do you hope that the words of Al Qing's donor that shocked everyone are true, or do you hope that he is just a talkative person who is actually making up nonsense?"
Gongshu Jiruo lowered his eyes and thought for a while, then said, "I don't even hope."
——
Dong dong dong——
The sound of copper plates clashing constantly at the bottom of the box must be the most beautiful sound at the moment.
To be honest, the people from Ye State who came to join the "Jichun Craftsmen's Guild" never dared to dream of such a beautiful dream. What is happening now has completely exceeded the best outcome they originally imagined.
For one day, the votes of the "Spring Appreciation Coins" will be counted to determine the top ten exhibits of the "Jichun Craftsmen's Guild". But this is just the beginning of the exhibits. In less than an hour, such a scene can be woven here. Momentum and excitement...
The people at other booths, the monks looking at the heat, and the craftsmen hiding their identities in the dark and waiting for the results all had their eyes wide open with confusion. They couldn't figure out whether these craftsmen from Ye State used some magical means or gave it to these merchants* **, that’s why they were so confused.
Yes, Zheng Quchi did put out a very tempting "bait" to catch so many "fish".
But ultimately, if these "fish" have no interest in this "bait", no matter how long she leaves it in the water, the "fish" will only be attracted by other people's "bait" and will not be hooked away. Float into her pool.
Zheng Quchi had been standing quietly on the side, quietly observing the situation of their "spring reward money". When she felt that the time was right, she immediately stopped.
"Close the box, the deadline has come."
Zheng Quchi loudly shouted the deadline. Mu Gaoyi and Ye Jun, who were dressed in ordinary people's clothes, were immediately shocked. Although there was great confusion in their eyes, they still stepped forward to drive away the merchants and closed the mouth of the ballot box. All matters were resolved in order. Ah Qing obeyed the orders.
Everyone was in disbelief. There were still many people behind them who had not voted. This group of people turned their heads in astonishment, only to see the young man put on a professional smile and said categorically: "There should be a hundred coins in the box. The remaining spring rewards in your hands are Money... is not necessary."
They looked ugly and said, "What do you mean?"
"That's right, who doesn't ask for more votes, the better? Is there anyone who refuses to vote for others?"
Zheng Quchi didn't think so: "The water will overflow when it is full, and the moon will lose when it is full. The more than a hundred votes in the box are enough for me to be shortlisted for the top ten of the Jichun Craftsmen's Guild. I am not greedy for more. The precious spring you have been holding in your hands is Feel free to keep the silver reward."
When she said this, the people behind her were immediately confused. It felt like I just hesitated.
Suddenly, it seemed like a loss of 100 million.
"No, we are going to vote, you can't stop us!"
"That's right! How can anyone stop others from voting? I have the spring bounty money in my hand. I can vote for whoever I want!"
At this time, hunger marketing was also clearly played by Zheng Quchi. She knew all the tricks. She had no chance to use them before, but wasn't it just right to apply what she had learned now?
She ignored the clamor and insistence of these people and only said to Makoto Yi and the others: "Let's count the votes first."
At this time, Ah Qing had the majesty to lead his troops to conquer.
Just now they saw her smiling, chatting and laughing with the merchants, with swords and swords flashing, and they almost thought they had seen General Yuwen. He had always killed people with a smile and put his heart to death. Unexpectedly, A Qing had learned a lot about the general in such a short period of time together with the general. The essence of Smiling Tiger.
They were all shocked by this number.
Because the "Spring Reward Silver Coins" dropped into the box were far more than one hundred. It was far more than one hundred, directly reaching two hundred and twenty.
After the total is tallied, the next step is to count everyone’s votes.
The "spring appreciation silver coins" in the hands of these merchants were all marked with their surnames with a knife to prevent them from being stolen or lost for personal use. Therefore, who invested and how much can be clearly seen as soon as they are picked out and compared.
Most of the merchants here only invested one coin, and the remaining two or three coins were thrown in. The largest number of people actually invested four "spring appreciation silver coins."
Shi Hetong is good at statistics. A businessman of the Chen family invested four coins (cow), a merchant of the Yue family invested three coins (rich), a merchant of the Mu family invested three coins (not short of money), and one... uh, I can't see A businessman with surnames in scripts from Da Dao also threw in three coins. This must be Qiuci script. Only they have such abstract characters that are as distorted as crawling insects.
"Now the statistics have been calculated. There are a total of 220 votes. Thank you for your active participation. The top four vote-getters Chen, Yue, Mu and Qiuci Dashang can sit in the Panlong carriage and participate with Ah Qing. Show, as for other people, we don’t need other people’s votes anymore.”
Damn, there are more than 200 votes? !
Envy, jealousy, and hatred made those craftsmen who also had exhibits but not even a single "spring appreciation coin" look completely different.
What's even more annoying is that the craftsmen of Ye State are so crazy that they don't ask others to continue to vote, but these people still insist on chasing and feeding them. They really don't know whether it is these craftsmen of Ye State who are sick or these merchants. Lost your mind?
Everyone was so angry that their chests were knotted, including the merchants who were refused food.
After living for so many years, some people have participated in several sessions of the "Jichun Craftsmen's Guild". In every session, the craftsmen eagerly begged them to vote and pray to be shortlisted.
But what is going on with this generation of craftsmen from Ye State? When you’re full and stuffed, don’t you take them seriously? !
"If you don't ask us to vote, okay, you can tell us the reason. Why?"
"It's just that you were a step too slow, and you started to show off. You clearly didn't take us people seriously. This is the first time you, a craftsman from Ye Country, have joined the Jichun Craftsmen's Union in more than ten years, and you were so arrogant as soon as you arrived. , don’t think we have to surrender to you!”.
"I don't know if it's true or not. I don't know if we didn't vote or if we got away with it by luck."
Zheng Quchi stopped Mu Gaoyi, who was so angry that he was about to scold him. She said: "I think the time given is not short, but you haven't voted until now. There are only two reasons. One is that I have always been dissatisfied with Ye in my heart." The Chinese craftsmen are slow to do so because they have doubts and plans. Secondly, you are not indispensable to the Panlong Chariot, so you are in a dilemma. In this case, I will decide for you to give up and choose another exhibit."
Her words were like a knife slicing open his chest, exposing their underlying thoughts to the public.
The expressions of these people suddenly changed.
"You're talking nonsense!"
"That's right, I, I just have limited legs and feet, so I'm a step behind."
Seeing their guilty and quibbling looks, Zheng Quchi just wanted to laugh.
She expressed her wishes clearly word for word: "If the Jichun Craftsmen's Union is fair and just, then you have the right to choose, and so do we.
There is a right to say no, right? "
"Donor Ah Qing is right."
At this time, a voice of great approval sounded from behind the merchants, telling them to turn their heads.
I saw Abbot Miku and Gongshu Jiruo coming together. As soon as they appeared, the merchants were surprised at first, and then subconsciously restrained the arrogance and anger on their faces, concealed their eyes, and quickly found a way out. .
They were murmuring in their hearts.
"Why is Abbot Miku here?"
"Is it possible that this dragon-coated carriage also alerted them?"
They turned sideways and saw Master Miku, put their hands together and bowed, waiting for him to pass by, and said: Amitabha.
Miku's identity naturally took the lead as soon as he appeared. He said in front of everyone: "At the Jichun Craftsmen's Guild, merchants who come here to participate in the exhibition can vote for the craftsmen's exhibits they like. Although there have been no cases in the past, but Indeed, if it is fair and just, craftsmen also have the right to refuse to be voted in, and the wishes of both parties must be respected."
Mi Ku looked at Zheng Quchi.
When Zheng Quchi saw Mi Ku, he was obviously stunned. Isn't this the monk in gray who led them before and explained the rules of the "Jichun Craftsmen's Guild"?
How did he suddenly change his identity, get a promotion and a salary increase, and reach the peak of being a monk?
"Donor Ah Qing, don't you recognize this poor monk?" Miku asked politely.
Zheng Quchi smiled but said: "...when have we met?"
Mi Ku was slightly startled when he heard the words, and then smiled: "Yes, it's the poor monk who misunderstood. It's the first time we met. Poor Monk Mi Ku is the abbot of Wujue Temple."
Zheng Quchi clasped his hands together and bowed slightly: "Ah Qing, the craftsman of Ye State, has met the abbot."
Mi Ku's face was calm and indifferent. Seeing that many people were looking at the person next to him, he introduced everyone: "I guess you haven't recognized it yet. The person next to the poor monk is the famous Bei." Duke Yuan loses everyone, he is a low-key person, but few people have seen his true appearance."
Gongshu Jiruo turned around and stared at Mi Ku with sharp eyes. He didn't expect that he would suddenly mention his identity.
really?
Is he really the leader of today's craftsmen? !
In an instant, everyone's attention was shifted to Gongshu Jiruo, and their eyes widened with surprise, excitement and joy.
In this moment of suffering, misfortunes are diverted to the east, but the five aggregates can be peaceful.
"Dare I ask, do you, do you seriously think that the public loses to everyone?"
Zheng Quchi's ears buzzed and he looked over quickly.
The man who was traveling with Abbot Miku was the "Master Li" whom she met in Fuxian County, that is, Gongshu Jiruo?
She noticed that he had a cool and aloof temperament, and his manners were elegant and reserved. When he looked at people, his expression was as unshakable as ice and snow. When he glanced at him, his only eyes were wide open and revealed their inner beauty.
It turns out that the real him looks like this.
Although his face has changed, once it is confirmed that he is a public loser, he can be slowly matched with that "Master Li". Apart from a fake face and a fake name, the rest of his body is not much different. Change.
She recognized him.
But does he recognize the woman in front of him?
She looked a little tense and frowned slightly, not wanting him to notice any clues at this moment.
Although the "Jichun Craftsmen's Guild" has had no rules prohibiting women from participating since its establishment, the fact that she registered her name as a craftsman under the pseudonym "Ah Qing" cannot withstand scrutiny.
Once someone with intentions tries to deal with her under a certain pretext, it will be unreasonable.
Now it is better to rely on Fu Rong's disguise skills than to let him not doubt himself.
"Just now, the poor monk and the public have been watching and listening for a long time. They are very interested in the carriage that Ah Qing is talking about. Now that the rules customized by Ah Qing have been reached by the merchants, I don't know how you plan to show them next. ?" Miku returned to the topic. .
Zheng Quchi, like others, showed an attitude of being a fan of Gongshu's appearance.
When she heard this, she immediately expressed her displeasure to the public.
He highly praised it and said, "Why don't we ask everyone, how do you want A-Qing to show off? Today I am lucky enough to be appreciated by everyone, so A-Qing naturally has no objections."
When Gongshu heard what she said, he stared at her for a long time, and finally looked away slightly disappointed.
His appearance, height, character and even voice were all unmatched. Looking at his flattering and eager attitude, he felt that maybe he had guessed wrong.
But Gongshu Jiruo didn't give up completely because the emergence of A Qing was too suspicious.
He said: "Here, I am the guest and you are the host. Since it is a carriage built by the craftsmen of Ye State, naturally you yourself know better how to show its advantages. However, since it is a carriage, it naturally needs to be driven by horses. If you Short of horses, I can..."
"I won't bother you, Gongshu, everyone. We also have horses in the country of Ye."
On the other side of the white stone arch bridge, Wang Zebang, Wei Yao, and Runtu each walked over holding a white horse.
Seeing the three of them, Gongshu Jiruo knew that Yu Wensheng was not simply here to join the "Jichun Craftsmen's Guild". He must have another purpose... But why is Yu Wensheng not here now?
"Although the Ye Kingdom has its own horses, the venue still needs to be at the Wujue Temple of the poor monk." Miku asked with an unchanged expression.
Zheng Quchi immediately smoothed things over and said, "Everyone in Gongshu and Master Miku are all interested."
Although Mi Ku didn't like the aggressive appearance of Yu Wensheng's subordinates, he had a very good impression of Ah Qing, so when he saw her standing in the way, he didn't embarrass her.
"Except for the forbidden areas and places of ascetic practice, you can choose the rest of the temple as exhibition venues."
So generous?
After a group of people arrived at the bamboo forest, an open and flat square was built on the stone floor. There were disciples sweeping the square. When they saw someone coming, they bowed and left.
"This is flat land, is it feasible?"
Zheng Quchi looked around, but shook his head: "If you want to seek excitement, you must follow through to the end... What I mean is that this place is too flat. We can challenge something more thrilling."
