Chapter 236: Dongzhu
What's more, although Wangui doesn't know much, but the Eagle Tribe still knows, that place is located just behind Huangsha Pass, in order to exchange markets with the Daqian Dynasty, there are a lot of things that are paid tribute every year, but there are always some things that can't be put on the table, and there are already whispers below, saying that the mutual market will be closed.
Therefore, in order to be able to buy and sell something, a place where you can pay tribute every year, there can be Dongzhu and coral, which Wangui does not believe in at all.
The little eunuch hurriedly waved his hand: "No, no" But when he saw Lord Wan looking over, the little eunuch didn't know how to explain to the overseer: "Overseer, the desert doesn't produce that thing, coral and Dongzhu, that thing is in the sea, and the slave actually doesn't know these things from the Eagle Tribe, anyway, they are all piled up in the warehouse here, if you don't believe it, you can go and see for yourself." ”
"Is there really such a thing?" Wan Gui was surprised, you must know that these little eunuchs don't dare to lie to him, although his skills are not as good as Meng Xuran, but he also has the identity of a Wan Xiaolou Yizi, so he also belongs to the characters who walk sideways in the palace.
The little eunuch was about to cry: "There really is, I moved into the inner library with a few people, and now everything is in the inner library, just waiting for the overseer to taste it." ”
Tasting, Wan Gui liked this word very much, and then nodded: "Lead the way in front of your head." ”
"Yes," the little eunuch hurriedly led the way.
The Imperial Garden is actually not far from the inner library, but the distance is a little detoured, so it was only about ten minutes, Wan Gui followed the little eunuch into the inner library, and there was a team of patrolling guards in front of the inner library, Wan Gui just glanced at them, and these people automatically went to patrol elsewhere to make way for Wan Gui.
Seeing that all the patrolling guards had left, the little eunuch hurriedly walked to the door of the inner library.
Looking at the huge lock on the door of the inner library in front, he directly took out the key from his arms and opened the outside door.
One of the doors outside was opened, but there was another door inside, and the little eunuch looked at Lord Wan Du before he began to knock. The little eunuch knocked on the door very regularly, and when you listen to it, it looks like a chapter of music.
Just after the little eunuch finished knocking, the door opened from the inside in an instant, and an old eunuch with a wrinkled face slowly opened the door.
"It's Lord of Ten Thousand Governors. Please come in, please come in" When the old eunuch saw Wan Gui, he didn't seem surprised at all, and directly welcomed Wan Gui in.
Wan Gui was not pretentious, and stepped into the inner library with a robe in one hand.
One into the inner warehouse. The entire collection in the inner library came into view, many precious jewels, priceless calligraphy and paintings, huge corals, and tributes from various countries were all piled up in the inner library, but Wan Gui didn't look at those things.
"What kind of thing did the Eagle Tribe send, bring it up and let me see it."
When the old eunuch heard this, he quickly turned around and groped around on the cabinet, only to see him find a box in an instant.
Wan Gui took the box. opened the box carelessly, but the moment the box was opened, Wan Gui's face changed instantly, you must know that although Wan Gui was the overseer of the West Factory, he was Wan Xiaolou's godson before, and he had never seen anything, not to mention anything else, just Dongzhu, he himself had a box.
But this Dongzhu in front of you is so rare. Let's not talk about roundness, after all, Dongzhu is the most rounded, but the Dongzhu in the box is obviously twice as large as the average Dongzhu, and the Dongzhu in this box is not the usual white. Rather, it is an extremely rare black color.
"Is this really Dongzhu sent by the Eagle Tribe?" Wan Gui asked in disbelief.
"The old slave didn't dare to deceive the overseer, this is indeed the Eagle Tribe's offering, a total of ten, all in this box, of course, this time the Eagle Tribe also paid tribute to a hundred white East Pearls, which are also much larger than the usual East Pearls" The old eunuch said. He handed Wan Gui a box on the shelf.
Wan Gui weighed the beads in his hand, and these beads were indeed the same as the old eunuch said, several times better than the beads he usually saw.
There are good things, Wangui naturally has to choose, black pearls are rare, and there are a few, so Wangui only took two, as for the white East Pearl, Wangui is not welcome, I want to directly stuff the box and pearls into the sleeves, but the sleeves can't be put down at all.
As soon as he turned around, the old eunuch didn't know where to take out a bag embroidered with peonies, and hurriedly handed it to Wan Gui respectfully.
Wan Gui took the bag and directly stuffed a box of pearls and two black pearls into the bag.
Unlike Wan Gui, the old eunuch also turned around, took out a box from the shelf, and carefully opened the box, and it was another box of pearls.
I saw the old eunuch take the empty box from Wan Gui's hand, and then put the pearls in the box in his hand, Wan Gui glanced at it, and now the pearls in this box are more than half smaller than the pearls in his arms.
"Sure enough, Bo Lao has a heart, anyway, there is no one in Bo Lao's family, I am embarrassed to be favored by Bo Lao every day."
The old eunuch smiled and shook his head: "The old slave is an orphan, and he has been in the palace for more than 50 years, even if he has relatives, it is estimated that he is gone, and it is convenient for him to be convenient, I just hope that in the future, the master of Wan Du will be able to use the place again, think more about the old slave, and the old slave will be grateful." ”
"It's good to say, it's easy to say" Wangui hugged the beads and smiled happily,
Out of the inner library, Wan Gui was ready to leave the palace, although he was not much different in the palace and at home, but he was still at ease in his own house.
Just as Wangui was about to leave the palace gate, a meticulous person in a blue robe walked out from the side, still holding a pile of medicinal herbs in his hand.
Wan Gui immediately stopped the person in front of him, stretched out his hand and took one of the medicinal materials that this person was holding in his hand: "What are you doing with these medicinal materials?" ”
"Back to the Overseer, a princess is not feeling well, and she arranged for me to go and see it."
The person who spoke was neither humble nor arrogant, but Wan Gui was not angry, but threw the medicinal herbs back with a smile.
"Princess Cheng'an, you can go seven or eight times this month, what is there to see, why don't you go back and help me bring something to your overseer."
The person was stunned for a moment, and then lowered his head: "I don't know if the overseer has anything for me to bring to my overseer?" ”
Wan Gui smiled, and then took out the beads he had just gotten from Neiku from his arms, there were only two black pearls, Wan Gui liked them very much, so he didn't take them out, but the other big pearls, it was not bad to give Meng Xuran some of them, and he grabbed a handful of them directly in the bag, and the eleven pearls were all rolled into the plate where the imperial doctor put the medicinal materials. (To be continued.) )
