This night, the Wang family's mansion was full of sheng flutes, and in order to feast on the arrival of Gege and the head, Wang Qiongke also spent a lot of thought. The feast did not disperse until two o'clock in the evening.

Early the next morning, before Wang Qiong woke up from her hangover, there was a knock on the door. It was Wang Qiong's follower He Fu who came in. He Fu was in a hurry, and said hurriedly: "Master, the little one heard from the old grandson of the mansion that recently, our county lord wants to pay tribute to a batch of jade treasures, saying that the old lady of Jingshi and the Prince's Mansion will celebrate their 60th birthday. In order to get through the relationship with the prince, our magistrate is also open, and is ready to spend a lot of money to buy rare jade, which is said to be twice as high as usual. ”

Wang Qiong turned over and got up from the bed, asked with wide eyes, "Is your news true?" ”

He Fu nodded and said, "Quasi-fidelity!" ”

Wang Qiong was overjoyed. This is a good opportunity, if you can rely on the big tree of Prince He, it will not be easy to supply the Ministry of Internal Affairs in the future? He high-fived and laughed and said, "God help me!" ”

Without further ado, if it was a little later and the Yang family took the lead, it would be too late. Wang Qiu immediately changed his clothes, ordered his wife at home to find the extremely rare necklace, wrapped it neatly, and hurriedly got on the horse and left.

The county master He Fu said is Zuo Xian of Xuanhua County, who is kind, but slightly cowardly, and belongs to people who have no ideas.

When Wang Qiong rushed over, Zuo Xian was having breakfast. The little maid told him that the jeweler Wang Qiong had something urgent to report. Zuo Xian said in his heart, since it was an urgent matter, he naturally wanted to see him, so he ordered the case to be removed and met Wang Qiong in the outer hall.

After greeting and saluting, Wang Qiong didn't say a word. Present a treasure box inlaid with gold and jade. Zuo Xian, an old man in his fifties, saw that Wang Qiong took out a treasure box as soon as they met, and asked in surprise, "What is Boss Wang doing?" ”

Wang Qiong pointed to the treasure box and said, "My lord, open it first." ”

Zuo Xian didn't know what he meant. I had to lift the lid of the treasure box, but inside was a string of pearl necklaces. The pearls are round and evenly sized, only as big as a small fingernail. Just looking at the color, Zuo Xian also knows that the beads are worth a lot of money, if they are on the market, there are not 10,000 but 5,000 silver.

Zuo Xian carefully lowered the pearl necklace and closed the lid. Still puzzled, he asked, "Xiaguan still doesn't understand what Boss Wang means." ”

Wang Qiong said: "It's not a secret, Wang knows a news, saying that he and the Prince's Mansion are going to purchase some jade treasures for the old lady in the mansion to celebrate her birthday." Wang has been in the jewelry business in Xuanhua for decades. I want to find the boss to introduce him, if he can succeed, Wang is willing to thank the boss for some silver. ”

Zuo Xian nodded and said, "I see! It's just a gesture, and it's nothing. To the officer's opinion. This necklace is worth a lot of money. It can definitely enter the eyes of the prince. That's good, you leave the pearl necklace here, and the lower official will send someone to the palace of Prince He in the next few days. ”

Wang Qiong hurriedly thanked him: "Thank you, boss!" ”

Seeing that half of the good things had happened, Wang Qiong was about to say goodbye to Zuozhi County. I heard that a little guy came to tell me again: "Boss Yang arrived outside, saying that he had something important to see." ”

Wang Qiong was startled, and said in her heart, he really came. Thinking about it, he was not busy leaving. Sit upright and see what he's going to do. Zuo Xian really treats people kindly. It was inconvenient to shirk, so I had to call in. After waiting for a while, the little guy hurriedly came in again and said, "Adult, let's go and have a look, this Boss Yang, Boss Yang~~~"

Zuo Xian asked, "What's wrong with Boss Yang?" ”

The little guy was stunned for a long time, and replied cowardly: "The little one, the little one doesn't dare to say, it's better for the adults to go and see it themselves." ”

Suddenly, I heard the sound of a trumpet in the courtyard, could anyone want to build a large number of buildings in the house? Zuo Xian was suspicious in his heart, so he went out of the outer hall first, and Wang Qiong hurriedly followed.

They've never seen anything so weird before? Seven or eight men came in from the outside carrying a coffin, trembling. The coffin was very heavy, its color was slightly yellowish, and there was a faint fragrance coming to the nose. Yang Shanzheng commanded the man to carry the coffin into the courtyard.

Although Zuo Xian said that his temperament was kinder than that of other officials, it was really unlucky to carry the coffin into the mansion, so he couldn't help but ask angrily: "You, what are you going to do here?" ”

Yang Shan raised his eyes and saw the magistrate standing in the courtyard, and hurriedly came over and replied: "Yang Mou greets the adult!" This golden silk nan wooden coffin is a gift from Yang, bring it in and ask the adults to appreciate it! ”

"Fart!" Zuo Xian finally popped out a foul word: "My good mansion, what is the coffin you brought in?" Do you dare to curse my dead people? ”

Yang Shan looked back and pointed to the coffin and said solemnly: "My lord, take a good look at it, this is a good golden silk nan wooden coffin, which Yang only shipped from Sichuan yesterday." ”

Zuo Xian waved his hand and said angrily: "No matter what kind of coffin the lower officials are, it is always unlucky to carry them in, you carry them out for me, carry them out!" As soon as the words fell, he opened his eyes wide, hurried over, and carefully examined the coffin: "Golden silk nanmu? ”

"Exactly!" Yang Shan glanced at Wang Qiong proudly. Wang Qiong suddenly realized that it turned out that this coffin was going to be given to Prince He.

"Yang also knows that the coffin is really unlucky, but the prince is not an ordinary person, so how can he be taboo about this? Besides, Yang Mouwen and the old lady of the prince are more than sixty years old this year, but they have always been in poor health in the past. Coffins are always prepared in advance, so it is normal for Yang to send a coffin! When there is something to do, it is not a waste of time, and where is it so appropriate? Yang also found out that although the Wangfu family has a coffin in good condition, it is still inferior to Yang's coffin. Don't hide it from the county lord, Yang's coffin is priceless on the market, and it is absolutely rare! ”

Zuo Xian patted the heavy coffin lid, the coffin lid made a dull sound, the coffin wood texture was warm and soft, and the texture was delicate and accessible, it was really the best choice among the coffins. A golden coffin like this can only be used by the royal family, and it is a capital offense to overstep the use of the coffin.

"Lord Zhixian, what do you say?" Yang Shan asked.

Zuo Xianjing thought about it for a while, and said in a deep voice: "Things are good things, but now is the old lady's birthday, let's send the coffin in, I'm afraid it's not okay?" ”

"And the prince is still a ridiculous prince? He held a funeral for himself in his own mansion, the prince pretended to be a dead man to eat sacrifices, and asked officials from all walks of life to mourn for himself, which is something that ordinary people can do? Yang Shan said eloquently: "Yang believes that ordinary people should naturally be treated normally, but an unusual prince like Prince He can only win the favor of the prince by special means." What does the magistrate think? ”

This is really convincing, Zuo Xian nodded frequently and said: "Boss Yang is reasonable!" Boss Yang is ingenious, and he is really different. Xiaguan looks at your coffin very dramatic. ”

Wang Qiong was not happy, leaned over, held the treasure box and asked, "What about Wang's pearls?" ”

Zuo Xian replied disappreciatively: "The prince said that this county can only have one chance to offer gifts. Xia Guan looks better than Boss Yang, so please trouble Boss Wang to go back with the necklace. (To be continued......)
