"How does it feel to be drunk?"
"No one speaks in front of anyone, and no one speaks behind anyone's back. No matter how strong the wind is from the east, west or south, I will remain unmoved."
"speak English."
"accurate."
"Hahaha."
Zheng Xuancheng suddenly stroked his beard and laughed.
Only then did Yu Youquan realize that this was Master's bad taste again, but he also knew what kind of image he had in the hearts of people in the capital, and how high the prestige of He Qianxing was.
Shen Pan'er didn't know what their master and apprentice were talking about, but she still acted obediently and smiled along with them.
For Zheng Xuancheng, she subconsciously thought of her former father, and she was extremely respectful and frightened.
Not long after, elegantly dressed waiters brought all kinds of delicacies, and the little depression just now was nothing in front of these delicacies.
When I was about to leave the restaurant after finishing my meal, I unexpectedly bumped into someone I knew.
At this time, he was wandering in front of the restaurant door, as anxious as an ant on a hot pot.
He was none other than one of the escorts he met at Fenglindu. He was a young man named "Little Gaoliang" and was considered a trainee escort.
Seeing Yu Youquan and his entourage come out of the restaurant, Xiao Gaoliang's eyes suddenly lit up and he ran over quickly, wanting to kneel down and kowtow.
Yu Youquan already has quite a lot of experience in this. How can he accept kowtows from others casually?
The vitality of heaven and earth surged with his thoughts, and Xiao Gaoliang suddenly found that he could hardly move, let alone kneel down.
While the fear was mixed, the hope in my heart also became stronger.
Yu Youquan said straight to the point, "Although we didn't talk much at Fenglindu, we got to know each other at least. Don't kneel down at every turn. If outsiders didn't know, they would think I was bullying you."
Xiao Gaoliang's heart suddenly felt cold.
Yu Youquan's words were quite clear. He hadn't even spoken to each other when they met by chance, so how could he dare to ask for too much?
But he really has no choice!
Xiao Gaoliang said with a cry, "Xiao Xianshi, help me, please save everyone in the escort agency, otherwise they will all die!"
Yu Youquan frowned and said, "What's going on? Please tell me in detail."
"Yes Yes Yes."
Xiao Gaoliang was afraid of arousing Yu Youquan's resentment, so he quickly explained the cause and effect of the matter in a concise and concise manner.
"Two months ago, our escort agency took a trip to transport flowers and stones. It was very precious. The escort agency did not dare to neglect it at all. Not only did it take a dumb escort, but it also traveled through the stars and nights. Unexpectedly, it rained and flooded all over the world, and we were stuck in Maple Leaf. Lin Du..."
The cause and effect of the matter are not complicated. Heavy rain caused the escort trip to be delayed. The employer was powerful. After accepting the strange stone, he demanded an astronomical compensation of 5,000 taels of silver. He did not even pay the liquidated damages as agreed.
Naturally, the escort agency couldn't afford to pay. After a few words, they started fighting with the evil slaves of Zhou Yuan's wife's family, and then they were tied up and sent to the government.
I think the Jianye governor didn't even interrogate him. All the members of the escort agency were put in prison. Under severe torture, everyone was beaten black and blue, and they were about to die.
The reason why he was released from prison was because he needed someone to raise money...
Everyone couldn't help but remain silent.
This is too dark!
The last time Yu Youquan "purchased" ten thousand shi of grain at a "fair price", he only spent more than 700 taels of silver.
It is conceivable that the purchasing power of silver is quite amazing!
Xiao Gaoliang cried like rain, "We have also delivered the Lingbi Waterfall Stone. Even if we default on the contract, we won't have to pay so much money... Five thousand taels, I Our escort agency can't even make up so much money by selling children and girls from top to bottom, right?"
Yu Youquan's expression changed.
"Lingbi waterfall stone?"
Xiao Gaoliang was stunned for a moment, and said with red eyes, "Yes, I heard from the chief escort that it was taken from under the rock wall of Hekou Waterfall. It is thin, transparent, leaky, wrinkled, and ugly..."
Yu Youquan was slightly surprised.
One of the conditions for opening the artistic conception inheritance of Cloud-turning Rain-turning Sword is "Flying Waterfall Stone". This Lingbi Waterfall Stone seems to meet the conditions.
Yu Youquan: "Who is the buyer?"
Xiao Gaoliang was immediately surprised and said, "Zhou Yuan's family in the south of the city was a wealthy businessman before. When Zhou Qiu's generation came to Zhou Yuan's side, he presented a strange flower and stone to a high official in the capital to establish a relationship, and then spent a lot of money. I bought a job as a Yuanwailang..."
Corruption, taking bribes, selling one's official position to win titles?
Yu Youquan was also speechless.
This Jin Dynasty is really domineering. It's no wonder that only half of the country was left after being beaten.
Forget it, the emperor didn't care about this and he didn't bother to do it.
Yu Youquan no longer wanted to stay in the big dye vat of the world, and felt that he had to escape from the world of mortals as soon as possible and practice wholeheartedly.
He needs the Fei Waterfall Lingbi Stone, but he really doesn't have that much money...
Yu Youquan looked at his master Zheng Xuancheng and said, "Master, I want to take action."
"Why?" Zheng Xuancheng raised his eyebrows.
He has never wanted to interfere too much in the world of mortals. Although Zhou Yuanwai is just a member of the Communist Party of China, but taking action for no reason is also suspected of bullying, which is inconsistent with his three views.
Yu Youquan: "I want the Lingbi Waterfall Stone. It may be helpful for me to understand the sword's intention."
"Can."
Zheng Xuancheng nodded immediately.
For practitioners, any opportunity is worth fighting for.
This statement is very different, and it looks like an excuse no matter how you look at it, but Zheng Xuancheng also knew that his apprentice had a secret, so he casually gave Yu Youquan a stack of banknotes.
Yu Youquan took it silently and kept it in his heart.
What he knew even more clearly was that money alone might not be enough to settle this matter. After all, Zhou Yuanwai was originally a wealthy businessman and he really didn't need money.
You must use Zheng's face...this is what is truly valuable!
Xiao Gaoliang's eyelids jumped wildly.
A stack of banknotes... How much is this?
Suddenly, he felt even more mixed emotions. Of course, he was more happy that everyone in the escort agency was finally saved.
...
Zhou Yuan’s wife.
Zhou Yuanwai is wearing silk gloves and holding a very professional soft-bristled brush to maintain the Lingbi Waterfall Stone bit by bit.
As a businessman who started his business with exotic flowers and stones, Zhou Yuanwai understands the value of these flowers and stones best.
Just such a strange stone can even become a treasure that changes the Feng Shui pattern in the hands of some Taoist figures.
These Taoist priests may be true or false, and their cultivation levels may be high or low, but when it comes to the pattern of flowers and stones and the cave heaven and blessed land, they all speak of the Tao.
Chunjiang Plumbing Duck Prophet, a former merchant and now Yuanwailang, Zhou Yuanwai knows the market of flowers and stones very well.
Especially recently, it has been reported that His Majesty the Emperor in the palace also prefers flower stones. With the effect of the above, the value of this flower stone has been rising steadily.
At this moment, an old steward walked in in a hurry.
"My lord, there are distinguished guests coming to our door!"
As the old steward said, he presented a sign. Zhou Yuanwai just glanced at it casually, but the next moment he was shocked.
"Quick, quick, follow me out immediately to greet the distinguished guest. Don't neglect the distinguished guest!"
...
Zhou family lobby.
Yu Youquan was invited to take a seat. Zhou Yuanwai had a flattering look on his face, while Xiao Gaoliang looked at him with a look of astonishment.
Is this flattering dog-like person really the ugly-faced Yuanwai Zhou who raises a bunch of bastards?
After a few sips of tea, Yu Youquan took out the banknotes and went straight to the point, "I heard from Xiao Gaoliang that their escort agency owes Yuanwai five thousand taels of silver due to default and breach of contract. We have collected the money and asked Yuanwai to count it."
Zhou Yuanwai was shocked and quickly said "misunderstanding" and promised to go to the government immediately to resolve the case later, but he would never dare to accept the money.
Yu Youquan smiled without saying a word and insisted on giving the money.
Zhou Yuanwai declined twice more. Seeing that the young man insisted on giving money, he immediately understood and stopped insisting. You can imagine his disappointment.
He knew that Mrs. Zheng didn't want to have anything to do with him, which was equivalent to not even giving gifts, but he didn't dare to have any complaints in his heart.
As a businessman, he should not experience too many hot-faced and cold-butt things along the way. If he fails to establish a relationship, it is still a relationship. At worst, he cannot offend.
Otherwise, if the noble man casually stumbles him, the Zhou family's hundreds of people, young and old, will probably be in disaster.
Although the young man insists on giving money to redeem the person, how dare he really ask the nobleman to pay five thousand taels?
In the end, He Heqing collected twenty taels of silver as a token of appreciation. Even though this amount of money was not enough for him to manage the government, he still looked like he had made a profit.
Yu Youquan couldn't help but sigh.
He deserves it. This week, Yuanwai has transformed from a businessman to a Yuanwailang. He is indeed a good person, and his handling is really sophisticated and comfortable.
"I'm also interested in flowers and stones. Can I see the Lingbi Waterfall Stone that I found outside?"
Zhou Yuanwai was stunned, and the disappointment in his heart suddenly disappeared, replaced by... ecstasy!
"Nothing you ask for, nothing you ask for, please, please, please!"
Zhou Yuanwai had a smile on his face and led the way. Little Sorghum stared at him for a moment.
After actually seeing the Lingbi Waterfall Stone, Yu Youquan suddenly became happy.
Because this flower stone did meet the needs of the Dao Mark bearer, after the "Autumn Water", he gathered together the "Flying Waterfall Stone".
As long as he gathers a few other Dao Mark-carrying objects, it will be much easier for him to comprehend the sword's intention.
After a few polite words, Yu Youquan had just expressed some love for the Lingbi Waterfall Stone. Zhou Yuanwai immediately understood and proposed to give this strange flower stone to him.
Yu Youquan still refused and made it clear that he would buy it with money.
Zhou Yuanwai immediately understood and said that the flower stone was not valuable, so he sold it to Yu Youquan for one tael of silver. Yu Youquan disagreed and made it clear that the amount was the price.
Zhou Yuanwai's heart, which had just been on fire, suddenly felt cold. The price was increased from one tael to one hundred taels, but Yu Youquan still disagreed.
There was really no other way, so in the end Zhou Yuanwai reluctantly accepted Yu Youquan's one thousand taels of silver.
Yu Youquan knew that even one thousand taels was still a preferential price, so he was heartbroken and raised the price to three thousand taels.
He is really in debt. I wonder if there are any practitioners who are poorer than him!
but.
Yu Youquan still thinks it's worth it. The free one is the most expensive. His favor and face are far more than three thousand taels.
Xiao Gaoliang was dumbfounded.
Zhou Yuanwai wanted to sell flowers and stones for one tael of silver, but the little fairy was stunned and refused to give him three thousand taels... What happened to this world?
