Wei Xiaobao said: "What kind of Buddhist scripture is that? But I need to see it." Suo'etu said: "Eunuch Gui, please don't be angry if I say a word." Wei Xiaobao said: "Master Suo, if you have any orders, just say yes. ”
Suo'etu smiled and said: "I don't dare to take the order seriously, but I suddenly remembered something. Eunuch Gui, this scripture was requested by the Empress Dowager and the Emperor, and it was placed in the treasure house by Obai, which shows that it is extraordinary. We don’t understand why it’s so important. I really want to open it and take a look, but I’m afraid it contains some important words. The Empress Dowager doesn’t like seeing us as slaves, this... this... hehe... …”
After he mentioned it, Wei Xiaobao immediately woke up and hurriedly put the scriptures back on the table and said: "It's extremely, it's extremely! Master Suo, thank you for your advice. I don't understand the reason behind this, and I almost caused a big disaster." Suo. Etu smiled and said: "What did Eunuch Gui say? The emperor sent the three of us to work together. Your business is my business. How can we distinguish between each other? If I didn't consider Eunuch Gui to be one of my own, I wouldn't dare to say this. Just export it."
Wei Xiaobao said: "You are a high-ranking official in the court, I... I am just a little eunuch, how can I be one of your own?" Suo'etu said: "Eunuch Gui, if you are saying this, you are clearly hurting me. "Yes." Xiang Yan said with a smile: "Master Suo is so righteous, why do you need to see others, Xiaobao?" Suo'etu smiled and said: "Yes, yes! We are all our own people, there is no need to see others. What do you two father-in-laws need from me in the future? If you want to help, just ask, you’re welcome.”
Wei Xiaobao said: "Ever since I was born, I have never understood what the word 'polite' means. Master Suo, Xiaoyan, what does politeness mean?" The three of them laughed at each other again. Suo'etu said: "We'd better pick some treasures. My two father-in-laws, what do you look at?" Wei Xiaobao said: "I don't understand what is the most precious thing. You pick it for me." Xiang Yan also said: "Me and Xiaobao is a child from the countryside and has never seen much of the world. Why don't we ask you, sir, to help us choose?"
Suo Etu said: "Okay." He picked up two strings of pearls and a jade horse and handed them to Wei Xiaobao, saying: "These two things are very valuable. Eunuch Gui wants them!" Wei Xiaobao said: "Okay." He handed the pearls to Wei Xiaobao. He put the jade horse into his arms. Suo'etu picked up two more strings of pearls and a jade rabbit, handed them to Xiang Yan, and said, "These two things are also very valuable. Ask your father-in-law for them!" Xiang Yan put away the pearls and the jade rabbit.
At this moment, Wei Xiaobao suddenly heard "Huh". Looking back, there was a dagger inserted into the floor beside Wei Xiaobao until it reached the hilt. Wei Xiaobao leaned over and pulled out the dagger and said, "This dagger is a bit strange." Suo'etu said, "It seems like this is a rare sword. Let's try it." He took a saber from it and placed it across it. In his hand, he said: "Eunuch Gui, use your dagger to chop this saber."
Wei Xiaobao held the dagger and chopped it down on the saber. With a "wipe" sound, the saber immediately broke into two pieces. The three of them shouted in unison: "Okay!" Suo'etu smiled and said: "Congratulations, Eunuch Gui. You have a sword like this, and the treasures in Obai's house are made with this sword as the first." Wei Xiaobao said: "Master Suo, if you If you want, let me give it to you." Suo'etu said with a smile: "I was born as a military attache, and I will be a civil servant in the future, not a military attache! This sword is better for Eunuch Gui to play with."
Wei Xiaobao handed the dagger to Xiang Yan again and said, "Xiaoyan, do you want it? I'll give it to you." Xiang Yan smiled and said, "I don't like to fight others with a dagger, I prefer to stand far away with a bow and arrow. Let's shoot arrows." Suo'etu picked up a three-barrel sleeve arrow, which could shoot three arrows in a row. He handed it to Xiang Yan and said, "Then this is for Eunuch Xiang." He also taught Xiang Yan how to tie the sleeve arrow to his forearm. Inside, how to load the sleeve arrows and how to shoot them.
Wei Xiaobao inserted the dagger back into the hilt and tied it on his belt. Suo'etu smiled and said: "Eunuch Gui, this sword is very short. It's better to put it in the boot, so as not to be seen when entering the palace." Wei Xiaobao said: "Yes!" and put the dagger into the boot. After a while, Wei Xiaobao couldn't help but pull out his dagger and play cutting things indoors, while Xiang Yan was studying the short crossbow.
I heard Suo'etu say "Hey" again. Wei Xiaobao and Xiang Yan looked up and saw Suo'etu holding a dark vest in his hand. Wei Xiaobao asked: "Master Suo, what's strange about this vest?" Suo Etu said: "I don't know, but it must be unusual to be placed with so many treasures." Xiang Yan said: "Xiaobao, Try scratching your vest with your dagger." Wei Xiaobao scratched his vest with his dagger, but there was no trace at all.
Suo'etu said: "I thought that the sword in Eunuch Gui's hand was the first treasure here, but I didn't expect that there is another treasured garment that is not inferior to Eunuch Hui's sword. My two father-in-laws, which one of you wants this treasured garment?" Wei Xiaobao said. "I already have a sword. Let's give the treasure clothes to Xiao Yan!" Xiang Yan said with a smile: "I shoot arrows from a distance with a bow and arrow, which is very safe. Xiao Bao rushes forward with a dagger to fight for his life, which is more dangerous. Let’s give the precious clothes to Xiaobao!”
Suo'etu took stock of Obai's treasures, and then ordered his men to come in and read the preliminary list of the family's wealth. He couldn't help but stick out his tongue and said, "Obai is really good at plundering. His property is more than double what I expected."
He waved his subordinates to go out and said: "Two father-in-laws, there is a saying among the Han people: 'Being an official for thousands of miles is only for wealth.' This time the emperor's favor is so great that he sent us to do this mission. He originally chose us. It's a windfall. We'll revise this list later. It's more than two million taels of silver, how much do you think we should report?" Wei Xiaobao said: "Then I don't understand. It's all up to you, Master Suo. Xiang Yan also said, "Master Suo, you can make the decision."
