Back at the Jiuxuan Auction Hall, Qin Liuxi saw Miao Jingyu, the military advisor of Dongyang Marquis, who had been waiting for her for a long time.
The other person was only about forty years old, with a long face and a beautiful beard. He was dressed like a gentle Confucian scholar, and his eyes revealed shrewdness and wisdom when he inadvertently raised his eyes.
Qin Liuxi only took a look at his appearance and felt that Dongyang Hou was a good judge of people. No wonder he could guard the East China Sea for many years and have smart people around him to help him make suggestions. He was far better than fighting alone.
Military Advisor Miao had already stood up and walked over when he saw Qin Liuxi. He did not look down upon her because she was worthy of being his granddaughter, but solemnly saluted her.
"Commander Miao does not need to pay such a courtesy." Qin Liuxi avoided it a little and raised his hand in vain.
Military Master Miao straightened up and said, "Young master deserves this gift. You have done a great favor to my Dongweng family."
"It's just a good relationship, not a kindness. The old general has paid enough for the consultation, and the cause and effect is over." Qin Liuxi motioned for him to sit down.
Military Advisor Miao smiled bitterly and said: "When I received the letter from the young general, I should have come to see him immediately, but I had no shame in coming to see the young master."
"The Meng family won't let go?" Qin Liuxi pointed out directly.
A hint of sarcasm flashed in Military Advisor Miao's eyes, and he said, "The Meng family is a little greedy."
Qin Liuxi was as expected and said: "It's just a matter of fate. If you miss it, you will miss it. The dragon bead did not fall into the hands of the Yue family. The only difference is a little chance. The military advisor does not need to be upset. If you don't come, don't come." As for the Meng family being greedy, it is only human nature. After all, they hold the trump card and will naturally open their mouths to those who want something."
"Young Master, are you willing to give up this dragon bead?" Military Master Miao couldn't help but be a little surprised when he saw how relaxed she said it.
Qin Liuxi chuckled: "I am determined to get those dragon beads."
Seeing how confident she was speaking, Military Master Miao's eyes flickered and he said, "I think Young Master Guanzhu already has a way to deal with it."
"It's just an exchange of interests." Qin Liuxi said calmly.
Military Master Miao saw that she didn't elaborate and said, "Young Master, maybe you can wait a little longer. I think Prime Minister Lin must have a solution."
"oh?"
Military Advisor Miao looked at her and said: "Exchange of interests."
Qin Liuxi was a little curious.
"The Yue family broke their promise. I wonder how much these dragon beads are worth. What should we give them?" Military Advisor Miao asked again.
Qin Liuxi was a little less interested and said, "Do whatever you want."
Military Advisor Miao frowned. He was most afraid of such a negotiation, which had no ration, and Qin Liuxi's identity and ability also meant that the Yue family would not be able to despise He Zhen's "casualty".
Qin Liuxi said: "Since you can't get this dragon bead, the military advisor doesn't need to stay in Shengjing. Let's leave the capital and go to Li City to pick up the young general and go back to resume his duties."
Military Master Miao felt a sudden thought when he saw this. Is the child a little unhappy? He blames them for breaking their promise, so he wants to drive them away?
Another day of scolding the Meng family: It’s all the damn Meng family’s fault for being so greedy.
"Young Master, can my little general go back?"
Qin Liuxi looked over and said, "He can leave, so why not go back? Will he settle down in Licheng? It's the same if he goes back to your place to raise him."
Military Master Miao breathed a sigh of relief, that's what happened.
He talked to Qin Liuxi for a few words and confirmed that Qin Liuxi really didn't want them to argue with the Meng family for the dragon bead, so he happily said that he would go to Licheng that day and settle the medical fee.
As for how to settle the bill, he had to discuss it with the young general before making any plans.
As soon as Military Master Miao left, Feng You came in, leaning on the door frame with his arms folded, and said gloatingly: "You can't get the dragon pearl by telling the Meng family about the way of a gentleman, right? Why, let's go and get it." ?”
"Shut up!" Qin Liuxi rolled his eyes at him and said, "After all, he is the owner of the Jiuxuan Auction Hall and the Palace of Eternal Life. Don't always think about robbing families and being gangsters. What do you mean?"
Feng Tong snorted: "You pretend to be a gentleman and convince others with your virtue, but you are actually plotting against many people behind your back."
Taicheng Zhenren: Is there any kind of bad virtue?
"Don't worry about it. Anyway, if I want it, I will take it openly, especially if it is used as medicine. I can't let it be contaminated by any cause and effect and be used as medicine."
Feng Tong endured it and said: "Let me remind you, even if you really pick up this material and concoct this foundation-building pill, if you don't have the cultivation level, it will be in vain if you eat it, and you still can't build the foundation..."
His voice became lower and lower under Qin Liuxi's death contempt until it disappeared.
"Let's talk about it later." Qin Liuxi's voice was sinister.
"I don't dare." The look in your eyes just now made me extremely scared.
Qin Liuxi snorted and said, "Let Huang Xian and the others help me see if the remaining medicinal materials are mature or can be found. Thank you very much."
After saying that, she walked out and went back to her room.
Feng Tong said behind her: "Xiao Xi, if the old Taoist really fails to achieve perfection and successfully builds the foundation, what will you do?"
Qin Liuxi paused in his steps and was silent for a while, then said: "What can I do? If I die, I can go down there and take the public exam. I'll be a ghost down there or something like that. I'll be reincarnated after I die."
Feng Tong: "..."
He watched her leaving and sighed. He didn't know whether to call her crazy or to say that she was unlucky. With such a disciple, he would have to wait behind her for future reincarnations.
Taoist Priest Chi Yuan did not raise a disciple, he clearly raised an ancestor.
…
Today's Ancheng Hou Meng Pinggui is the biological father of Concubine Meng. Their family is not from a mountainous background. His father was a low-ranking official back then, and he himself had some luck. When the saint was in the dormitory, he also became the saint's personal guard. , after the saint ascended the throne, he made a sixth-rank officer. After many years of hard work, he was promoted to the fourth rank. The real prosperity was four years ago when he sent a daughter to the palace and became favored, and he became a new rich man.
However, although the Meng family is a new noble in the court and has received divine favor, it will not be noticed by the well-established family. Some high-ranking officials will not easily get too close to such a new noble and are unlikely to be attached to them. Even if Meng When a noble concubine has a prince by her side, they who cherish their feathers will be cautious in their dealings, so as not to let the saint avoid forming cliques.
Meng Pinggui also knew that many people looked down on his Meng family, but so what, as long as the imperial concubine and the young prince were around, their Meng family would be able to prosper one day, and people would naturally come to rely on them.
It's just that anyone can be attached to him, and he will never be the prime minister who is known for his direct ministers.
But the reality is that this person came to his house to discuss matters in the middle of the night, hiding from the public, which made An Chenghou feel a little incredible.
Do they have anything to talk about?
"I wonder why Prime Minister Lin came here?" After a cup of tea, Marquis Ancheng asked straight to the point.
Prime Minister Lin put down the white jade tea cup in his hand and said with a smile: "I would like to ask Marquis Ancheng to renounce his love and give me the dragon beads."
Marquis Ancheng almost got burned by the tea. He looked at him in astonishment. Prime Minister Lin was crazy. Was he trying to rob him?
