The weasel greets the chicken, and the chicken is in a happy mood.

Because this weasel is very polite, he did not come to the door empty-handed. The courtyard was full of all kinds of gift boxes, Gu Qing's sharp eyes found that the gift boxes were all made of ebony, and there were also a lot of gems inlaid on them, the gift box alone was worth a lot of money, and the contents of the gift box must be even more exciting.

Gu Qing happened to be in a financial crisis recently, the treasury at home was emptied by the two shopkeepers, and he was worried about the monthly income of the housekeeper's subordinates, and then the weasel came to the door with gifts.

Gu Qing couldn't help but secretly wonder, could it be that someone leaked the news of his poverty?

After seeing the gifts in the courtyard, Gu Qing's attitude became a little more enthusiastic, and he saluted An Lushan respectfully with the attitude of welcoming the God of Wealth during the New Year.

Treating the God of Wealth with respect is a traditional virtue of the Chinese people for thousands of years.

"Wine, wine, good wine." Gu Qing instructed his subordinates.

Gu Qing's enthusiastic attitude made An Lushan feel very happy, and he couldn't imagine why Gu Qing was so enthusiastic about him.

"I had a hurried meeting with Brother Gu Xian last night, and I didn't have time to say a lot of thoughtful words, An was quite sorry in my heart, and I took the liberty of not coming to the door today, in order to drink and talk with Brother Xian, Brother Xian was loyal and courageous, and saved His Majesty in Lishan Palace, An was full of admiration, I like to make friends with loyal ministers and filial sons in my life, treat you with loyalty, and serve your relatives with filial piety, such a person must be a good person, and An Mou broke his head and took the initiative to visit with a cheeky face."

Gu Qing said movingly: "Jie Shuai, you are so sincere......"

An Lushan said seriously: "Virtuous brother, after a long time, you will know that An is worthy of the conscience of heaven and earth, and he is only loyal to the Son of Heaven, and he only speaks the words 'loyalty, filial piety and righteousness' in his life. ”

Gu Qing said emotionally: "What the commander said is exactly what the lower official wants to say, the lower official is the same as the commander of the festival, and he is also a loyal martyr who only talks about 'loyalty, filial piety and righteousness' in his life, you and I are like-minded, and we can be confidants in this life." ”

An Lushan's eyes showed joy, as if he had found his long-lost brother, and he held Gu Qing's hand with both hands and swayed up and down: "Good brother!" ”

"Good brother, for a lifetime!"

had to cooperate with An Lushan for a while after his acting skills, the wine and food were served, and the two chatted again, and An Lushan got to the point.

"Brother Xian is a person trusted by His Majesty, especially after Lishan saved His Majesty, His Majesty can be said to be very fond of Brother Xian, I heard that Brother Xian is now an official to Zuo Wei Zhonglang General, and in the future, An will rely on Brother Xian to help him in the court."

Gu Qing said modestly: "Virtue is not worthy, the foolish brother is ashamed, the handsome man does not blame the foolish brother for being upright, the foolish brother is actually not a person who practices martial arts, and he does not know the art of war, His Majesty appointed me as a Zhonglang general, the foolish brother can be described as walking on thin ice, trembling, worrying all day long has almost become a disease, for fear of doing something wrong and betraying His Majesty's trust......

An Lushan said with a serious expression: "Brother Xian, the foolish brother is not polite to you, the help that the foolish brother said just now, please take the virtuous brother to heart." ”

Gu Qing was stunned, but he didn't expect An Lushan to be serious.

"The marshal has a heavy army, and he is deeply favored by His Majesty, where do you need the help of the foolish brother?"

An Lushan sighed: "It is precisely because of the heavy soldiers in his hands that An has been hated, these years An has led troops outside the border, but the court has criticized An a lot, in the past, there was Li Linfu and Li Xiang to help An Mou, but now Li Xiangxian has died, there is no one to help me in the court, An Mou has the emperor's grace, loyal to the country, but he has been slandered by gossip, and his heart is really wronged......"

Gu Qing suddenly realized.

It's no wonder that such heavy gifts are given just one side, it turns out that these gifts are to buy themselves.

An Lushan, the title of the county marquis, is not in his eyes, what he values is Gu Qing's identity and position.

Zuo Wei has the accusation of guarding the Forbidden Palace, Gu Qing is a Zhonglang general, and in the future, he will need to wear armor and lead the troops to patrol the Forbidden Palace, so that he can often see the Son of Heaven. And Gu Qing just saved Li Longji, it was when the saint was extremely long, if An Lushan wanted to plant eyeliner in the palace, if necessary, he would help him speak well in front of the Son of Heaven, and eliminate the suspicion of the Son of Heaven that the opponent held heavy generals.

As soon as he said this, Gu Qing understood.

Then Gu Qing felt very funny.

actually sent a gift to himself, An Lushan just returned to Chang'an, I am afraid I haven't checked Gu Qing's details, I don't know who Gu Qing is, and I don't know who Gu Qing's parents are.

is really a bold person, and he will give a heavy gift directly without saying a word, what is the difference between this and a meat bun beating a dog?

While it's a bit inappropriate to compare yourself to a dog, this quote is appropriate.

If An Lushan knew the truth, I don't know if he would shed tears.

Gifts can't be refused, it's too impolite, it doesn't matter if it's a friend or foe, just accept the gift and then talk about it.

So Gu Qing immediately showed sincerity and said: "It turns out that the festival marshal is for this matter, please rest assured, the foolish brother stays in the forbidden palace, and when he often meets His Majesty and the concubine Niangniang, the foolish brother and the festival marshal will definitely speak well for the festival in front of His Majesty and the concubine Niangniang......

Saying that, Gu Qing shook his head and sighed: "Loyal ministers and good generals will fight the borders of the country, suffering from wind and frost, there are villains in the court who are jealous and slanderous, and the marshal is really humiliating and burdened, and the foolish brother admires it very much." From now on, the foolish brother will defend and listen to the marshal in front of His Majesty, so that the marshal has no worries and can lead the troops in northern Xinjiang with peace of mind. ”

An Lushan was greatly moved, got up and hugged his fist towards Gu Qing and said: "Brother Xian's words, An Mou's heart is five, and he is grateful, you and I should have more contacts in the future, and Brother Xian's friend An Mou has made a deal." ”

Gu Qing pointed to the gifts in the courtyard outside, and said: "Jieshuai, making friends is important in making friends, Jieshuai gave these mundane things, it really tarnishes the friendship between you and me, and please take it back, the foolish brother is useless, and he can't afford the heavy gift of Jieshuai." ”

An Lushan waved his hand again and again, and laughed: "It's just some local specialties of Fanyang Pinglu, An is a vulgar martial artist, not as good as the virtuous brother's poetry and literary fame, the coarse man has to send a little vulgar thing to talk about the heart, the virtuous brother is not disgusted, you must accept it, just play with it as a vulgar thing, and throw it away when you are tired of playing." ”

Gu Qing's expression became more and more embarrassed: "This ...... Not okay? ”

An Lushan's expression was solemn and serious, and he clenched his fists and said heavily: "Please also ask Brother Xian to give An a certain face, accept it!" ”

Gu Qing looked up to the sky and sighed hypocritically: "In this way, the foolish brother will be disrespectful, Jie Shuai, don't do it next time, the foolish brother is sorry not to go, and he is ashamed to accept it." ”

The gift was given, and after saying that, Gu Qing's mood was very happy, and An Lushan was also very happy, which can be described as a joy for the guests and the host.

Gu Qing guessed correctly, An Lushan did come to buy him, he needed Gu Qing to be his eyeliner and the mouthpiece of the court, after Li Linfu's death, the court situation changed a lot, Yang Guozhong saw that he was going to pay homage to the prime minister, but Yang Guozhong was a person, An Lushan has never looked down on him, and felt that Yang Guozhong was unlearned and unskilled, and he was in a prominent position by relying on nepotism.

An Lushan is a person who is not good at leading troops to fight, but he still sees people very accurately, in this cognition, Gu Qing can indeed lead him to be a confidant, and the two have a high degree of unity in their views on Yang Guozhong.

The lack of eyeliner and assistance in the court, An Lushan felt uneasy, this time he returned to Chang'an to congratulate a very important task, that is, he had to buy a group of courtiers in Chang'an, and Gu Qing was just one of the lists he bought.

Today's purpose was successfully achieved, and An Lushan took the opportunity to say goodbye to Gu Qing.

Gu Qing diligently sent An Lushan out of the gate, until An Lushan's carriage disappeared at the end of the street, Gu Qing was still reluctantly waving a small white handkerchief, looking at the direction where the carriage disappeared emotionally.

It's not strange that many people give gifts, but what if people feel that the gift is not heavy enough, turn around and come back to give another one?

It wasn't until it was determined that An Lushan's carriage should be unlikely to turn around that Gu Qing threw away the small handkerchief and turned around to enter the door.

The first thing he did when he entered the door was to order someone to move the gifts from An Lushan to the warehouse, and Gu Qing opened the gift boxes one by one, enjoying the happiness of being smashed with money alone.

The gift given by An Lushan is indeed a heavy gift, not exaggerated at all, it seems that Fanyang Pinglu is a treasure land of feng shui, and the local specialties are very popular. In addition to a few small boxes full of silver cakes, there are also a small boxes of gems of various colors, as well as ivory rhino horns, hundred-year-old ginseng, red coral, South China Sea East Pearl, etc., all of which are valuable treasures, Gu Qing roughly estimated that if these gifts are converted into money, they will be about 10,000 yuan.

An Lushan's strategists are like clouds, and the gifts he sent out should have been accurately estimated by the strategists under his command, who is in what official position, and how much should be given to be rude, they naturally have a precise estimate.

Therefore, 10,000 yuan is Gu Qing's current worth.

At the time of Zuo Wei's corruption case, the gift given to him by Ji Wen on behalf of Li Linfu was worth about 2,000 yuan, and in just a few months, Gu Qing's worth has increased fivefold, which is really gratifying.

"Get rich......" Gu Qing closed the gift box, closed his eyes and sighed with satisfaction.

The next time I see Zhang Huaiyu, when I am given a love token, I can finally be generous, and send her a whole box of silver cakes as a love token, I don't believe that she doesn't secretly promise to herself.

Carefully locked the warehouse, Gu Qing walked out of the door and called Steward Xu.

"Do you remember that big fat man who just came?"

Steward Xu nodded: "Remember, he is An Lushan, the envoy of the Three Towns Festival." ”

Gu Qing said seriously: "You remember, if this big fat man comes to ask for a gift in the future, he will say that I am not at home and have gone far away." ”

Steward Xu was stunned: "How can there be a reason to ask for a gift back?" ”

"If that fat man knew the truth, it's hard to say if he would do such a shameless thing." Gu Qing said in a deep voice.

…………

Gu Qing's guess is still reasonable.

An Lushan finished the gift, returned to his mansion in Qinrenfang, and just sat down to take a breath, a personal soldier serving beside him hurriedly entered the door.

The soldier's name is Li Zhu'er, and he became An Lushan's personal soldier when he was ten years old, and he has served him for more than 20 years, so he can be regarded as a confidant.

Li Zhu'er didn't even bother to salute when he entered the door, and said in a hurry: "Jie Shuai, has the gift given to Gu Qing just now been given?" ”

An Lushan was stunned for a moment and said, "Of course I sent it out, I went there for gifts." ”

Li Zhu'er stomped his feet heavily and said anxiously: "Jie Shuai, I sent the wrong person!" ”

An Lushan frowned: "What do you mean by this?" ”

"Gu Qing, it's your sworn enemy!"

An Lushan was shocked: "I only met him once last night, how could I have made an enmity with him?" ”

Li Zhu'er shook his head and said: "The villain just gave a gift to Lu Xuan, the palace attendant, on your behalf, and when I chatted with Lu Xuan, I learned that Gu Qing's parents died when he was a child, and his parents died in battle to protect Prime Minister Zhang Jiuling many years ago. ”

An Lushan's eyelids jumped, and he said in a deep voice: "The dead soldier of Pinglu Jiefu? Could it be ......?"

Li Zhu'er said: "That's right, more than ten years ago, Jie Shuai, you ordered to intercept Zhang Jiuling, Gu Qing's parents are a famous heroic couple in Chang'an, the two of them heard the news and rushed out of the city to help Zhang Jiuling, and our dead soldiers fought until dawn without retreating, and finally died of exhaustion and serious injuries, Jie Shuai, Gu Qing and you have a great enmity for killing your parents!" ”

An Lushan's cheeks twitched, and he muttered, "I have such a deep enmity with Gu Qing, I miscalculated!" No wonder I always feel that the smile on Gu Qing's face is weird when I give gifts......"

Then An Lushan's fat trembled involuntarily, 10,000 guan, 10,000 guan just sent out!

I thought I had bought an important eyeliner, but I actually gave a heavy gift to the enemy, and I was afraid that the enemy would not accept it, so I asked for it so that the enemy had to accept it.

An Lushan felt so cheap when he thought about his appearance when he gave the gift just now......

Gu Qingmian was embarrassed and had to accept it, and his appearance was even cheaper.

Slammed the table, An Lushan's eyes showed a fierce light, and he gritted his teeth and said: "Good Gu Qing, pit on my someone's head, I don't know whether to live or die!" ”

Li Zhu'er was startled, subconsciously took a few steps back, and then said cautiously: "Jie Shuai, do you need the villain to ask for the heavy gift for Gu Qing?" ”

An Lushan shouted angrily: "Get out! If the gift sent out is returned, and the powerful courtiers of Chang'an know, how can I behave? Who will dare to accept my gifts easily in the future? ”

An Lushan's face turned pale, and he sneered: "I bought a lesson for 10,000 yuan, and I will eventually ask him to return it with interest in the future." ”

…………

Gu Qing's happy mood didn't last long, and it was immediately ruined.

Sitting in the courtyard basking in the winter afternoon sun, Hao Donglai and Shi Daxing walked into the courtyard with angry faces.

Gu Qing glanced at them obliquely, then immediately closed his eyes, pointed to the side room and said, "You two hurry up and get me in, don't appear in front of me before dark." ”

The two were stunned: "Why?" ”

"Because the expressions of the two of you are very gloomy now, and at first glance they are full of trouble, I am in a good mood now, and I don't want to be ruined by you."

Hao Donglai said sadly: "Master Hou......"

"Shut up! Get into the room! ”

"Oh......" The two turned aggrievedly and entered the room.

The warm sun was shining on his body, Gu Qing turned over with satisfaction, changed to the B side and continued to dry.

As long as you refuse to see trouble, there is no problem. Idealistic philosophy can be useful sometimes, at least to keep one's good mood a little longer.

Sleepy in the sun, Gu Qing stretched his waist, planning to put on his official uniform and go to the left guard to brush his presence in front of many generals and colleagues.

Zhonglang will be a few days, bidding farewell to the mountains of official duties when he was a long history, Gu Qing, the Zhonglang general, is lazy like a pig that has been raised in captivity for more than half a year, and his life is so comfortable, he is almost knifed.

As soon as they stood up, Hao Donglai and Shi Daxing walked out of the wing room again, and Hao Donglai said diligently: "Is Master Hou going out?" Do you want the villain to help you prepare the carriage? ”

Gu Qing sat back again, and sighed: "If there is any trouble, just say it, my good mood probably won't see the sun tomorrow." ”

Hao Donglai suddenly showed an extremely aggrieved expression, and said with a fat face: "Master Hou, Lao Shi and I were driven out by Long Ji's people. ”

Gu Qing closed his eyes lazily and murmured like a dream: "What's the matter? Didn't you let you go and make friends with them? ”

Shi Daxing said hatefully: "Lao Hao and I are indeed going to make friends, and I also brought a generous gift, I want to see the shopkeeper, and tell him what Hou Ye said, everyone is really unnecessary to fight for the family at a low price, it is better for the two sides to make a truce, pull the price of porcelain back, and do business as much as you do." ”

Gu Qing snorted, drooped his eyelids and said, "Then what?" ”

"Then Lao Hao and I just entered the door of Longji, and they were blasted out by the guys in their store, and even the generous gifts we carried were also thrown on the street, and the guys told them that the truce was impossible, unless we handed over the secret recipe of our Shuzhou Qingyao porcelain burning, otherwise we will continue to fight for the family at a low price, and see whose family is thick."

Gu Qing opened his eyes and looked at the two shopkeepers, and said, "Are you sure that their shopkeeper said it, not that the guys are talking nonsense?" ”

Hao Donglai said: "I'm sure the shopkeeper said it, the guys don't dare to spread the word, they can't afford it." ”

Gu Qing lay back down, half-squinted and said, "The secret recipe for us to burn porcelain...... Hehe, I'm not afraid of the wind flashing my tongue, am I really Gu Qing so bullied? ”
