Murong Qing's face immediately flushed, and she said embarrassedly: "You have bad eyes, so don't talk nonsense, accumulate some virtue, and be careful that your tongue is rotten." ”

The three monsters smiled indifferently: "My tongue will rot sooner or later, and now it's too late to accumulate mouth, let's say, what are you looking for me again?" ”

Murong Qing took out a hundred-guan treasure bill from his arms, shook it in front of the three monsters, and stuffed it into the hands of the three monsters: "According to your rules, one hundred guan, put it away." ”

The three monsters picked up the treasure banknote, kept rubbing it in their hands, put it in front of them and sniffed it again before putting it into their arms: "It's not fake this time, last time your fake one hurt me a lot, so much so that I was almost beaten." ”

Murong Qing couldn't help laughing: "It's not my idea to give you fake treasure money, besides, the money is not given by me, the money from the Tianxia Alliance is fake, I haven't used real money in the Tianxia Alliance, what can I do." ”

The three monsters smiled helplessly: "The Tianxia Alliance is gone, why don't you hide yet, aren't you afraid that the people of Tiancheng Sect will come to you for revenge?" ”

Murong Qing smiled slyly, pointed at Yao Guangqi on the side and said, "This is the sect master of Tiancheng Sect, this time it is actually him who begged you to do something, will Tiancheng Sect retaliate against me, you can ask him." ”

The three monsters couldn't help but be stunned when they heard this, and then walked around Yao Guangqi twice, rubbed their noses and said: "It turns out that the sect master is here in person, and there is a loss of welcome, disrespect and disrespect, what is the matter with the sect master, just open your mouth and command, your money, I dare not accept the three monsters." ”

Yao Guangqi said with a smile: "I know your rules, you make a living from them, if I break your rules, it will not only damage your livelihood, but also be said to be a bully, and Yu Tianchengzong's reputation is not good." ”

The three monsters looked extremely respectful to Yao Guangqi, lowered their heads and said with a smile: "Sect Master, you have reduced the tap of the weaving households and farmers under the Tiancheng Sect, and also set up a righteous warehouse to relieve the poor, this benevolence and kindness, even the ancient sages are nothing more than that. Nowadays, we have two black and white roads in Jiangnan, which one does not praise you, and which one mentions that you do not give a thumbs up? Who doesn't know the name of your kindness? If I accept your money, then I will be scolded, you look for me to do something, that is my face has a light, I also have the capital to brag in front of others, if I accept your money, I will not only not be able to sleep, this mouth will be rotten immediately, this eye will be completely blind. ”

Listening to the flattery of the three monsters, Yao Guangqi was very useful in his heart, his original measures of pitying those poor disciples unintentionally won such praise for himself, it seems that justice is at ease in the hearts of the people, this is true. Thinking of this, Yao Guangqi smiled with relief: "Since this is the case, then I will not be polite." As he spoke, he handed the sachet to the three monsters: "Please smell it, Murong Qing said that there are two kinds of incense here, what kind of incense are they?" ”

The three monsters took the sachet, sniffed it carefully, and muttered, "Strange." Then he sniffed it again and again.

Yao Guangqi was about to ask. The three monsters handed the sachet back, frowned and said: "There are actually three kinds of incense here, and there are two kinds of incense that have obvious tastes, one is sandalwood, which is the best sandalwood, and the people who can use such good sandalwood must not be ordinary businessmen or eunuchs, they must be rich and noble, and the second is peony flowers, and this peony is not an ordinary peony, it should be one."

Extremely rare and precious peony, called finger soft, it is said that this kind of peony petals are white with powder, the powder is white, the powder is white, the powder and white reflect each other, extremely beautiful, the person who can plant this kind of peony must also be a person who has been extremely rich. There is also a very vague smell of incense, which ordinary people must not smell, and I dare to confirm it after smelling it repeatedly. ”

Yao Guangqi asked with concern, "Is that now certain?" ”

The three monsters nodded: "This incense is a synthetic incense, and this incense has been very old, and the fragrance remains very little, coupled with the cover of the above two incense, even I almost ignore this incense, and I suspect that the owner of this incense sachet has used sandalwood and soft incense, which is intentional, and the purpose is to cover up this incense and deliberately mix the two kinds of incense." ”

Murong Qing was a little breathless, and urged: "Oh, you are so long-winded, hurry up and say, what kind of incense is it, I am anxious to death by you." ”

"Ink incense." The three monsters hesitated for a moment and said: "Hui ink, and it is the best Hui ink, this kind of Hui ink, not a very particular person will not have, because he needs to mix a little pine oil and plum fragrance in the normal Hui ink, so that the ink, the words written are both mellow and pine resin, and there is a faint plum fragrance, the words are fragrant, such a person, not only love words, but also a very high mood person." ”

Yao Guangqi listened to the words of the three monsters, fell into deep thought, and said after a long time: "This kind of ink needs to be specially customized, that is to say, this kind of ink must be more expensive than ordinary Hui ink, and the people who use this kind of ink are not only rich, but also elegant and elegant people, right." ”

The three monsters nodded.

Yao Guangqi followed his train of thought and continued: "Since it is customized, then this kind of ink will not make a lot, and there should be very few people who use this ink, right, if I can find a shop or craftsman who makes this ink, I will roughly know who ordered this ink, and who bought this ink, and I can also know who used this ink." ”

The three monsters nodded: "The reason is indeed this reason, but in recent years, the world has been peaceful, the Jiangnan literary style has gradually risen, ink is a scholar's elegant thing, there are many literati who play ink and appreciate ink, and there are those who are vassally elegant, and they also pretend to play ink and appreciate ink." Moreover, among the literati, gifts from the scholar's office are also common, and even if you know who ordered the ink and bought it, you may not be able to know who used the ink. ”

Yao Guangqi frowned and said, "One last question, can you be sure, how long has this ink fragrance been around?" ”

The three monsters thought for a while: "I'm not sure, but it's been nearly ten years." ”

Leaving the three monsters, Yao Guangqi and Murong Qing rushed to Huizhou non-stop. Although Huizhou is located in the south of the Yangtze River, it should have been a rich place, but this is not the case, for no other reason, there are many people and few places. In the era of agricultural civilization, limited land can not feed more people, in order to make a living, a large number of people go out, many people choose to do business, so Huizhou merchants (including but not limited to Huizhou) is one of the most important business gangs in China, and the same name as Huizhou merchants in the world, is the Hui architecture, gray tiles and white walls, Qujing corridor, the building and the local climate and terrain are fully combined, the beauty and practicality of the perfect integration, the feng shui, aesthetics, practical elements are mixed in between, is a model of the combination of man and nature.

In addition to Huizhou merchants and Huizhou architecture, there is one thing that makes Huizhou enough to leave a name in history, that is, Hui Mo, Moben

It is one of the most common four treasures of the scholar's room, but Huimo has sublimated the ink, which not only maintains the practical function, but also realizes the beauty to the greatest extent, raising the ink to the height of aesthetics and culture, and becoming an elegant thing for the literati to enjoy. Therefore, Huimo represents the attitude of Huizhou people to the world and the craftsman spirit of Huizhou people.

One of the main producing areas of Huimo is Shexian (xi, Pingsheng, West) County of Huizhou, in the era when agriculture and mulberry are the foundation of the world, the commercial genes of Shexian County have always been tenacious, as said in the "Shexian Chronicles": "There are many Jia, and the soil is not heavy." The ups and downs are infrequent. "The end of the rich is the majority, and the wealth is as small as possible. The rich get richer and the poor get poorer. The one who rises is the only one, and the one who falls is easy. It can be seen that the commercial development of She County has been in a vigorous state.

Back to our story, came to She County, after some inquiry, the two finally sorted out the situation, She County has two largest ink merchants, one is called Mo Pintang, the other is called Yi Pinfang, these two ink merchants have their own ink workshops, but also operate other craftsmen's ink, She County's local craftsmen and ink masters, will put their ink in the shops of these two ink merchants to sell.

After repeated discussions, the two dressed up as businessmen, hired a luxurious two-horse-drawn carriage, and came to Mopintang very ostentatiously first, the car of the two had just stopped outside the store, and the people did not wait to get off the car, how clever the guys of Mopintang were, and after a glance at the carriage and the dress of the two, they decided that the two must be big businessmen from the north, and quickly ran out of the store, bowed down and ran to Yao Guangqi with a smile, and said with a huff: "This old guest, appreciate ink?" With vision, our ink product hall is the largest store in She County, and all the famous inks are ready-made in our place. ”

Yao Guangqi didn't say anything, walked into the store with his hands behind his back and walked into the store without hurrying, and after coming in, he first stood in the door with his back hand and looked around arrogantly, revealing a look of disdain. As soon as the guy saw Yao Guangqi behaving like this, he even thought that this was a big patron with status, so he walked in front of Yao Guangqi with his waist bent, making a "please" gesture, and at the same time shook his head at the other guys, signaling the guys inside to serve tea.

Yao Guangqi ignored him, followed the guy to the hospitality chair in the corner of the lobby, and at this time, Murong Qing, who was following behind him, took out a square scarf of Shu brocade from his arms, wiped it carefully on the chair, and then took out another square scarf from his arms and put it on the chair, then bowed down and asked Yao Guangqi to sit down, and Yao Guangqi sat down slowly.

At this time, another guy from Mopintang respectfully offered a cup of hot tea, Yao Guangqi looked down, picked up the bowl lid with two fingers, put it under his nose and smelled it, revealing a disgusted expression, and casually threw the bowl lid on the tea bowl: "This is obviously last year's autumn tea, take this kind of tea to entertain guests, this is the hospitality of your store, this poor and remote ghost place, there is not even a number of hospitality courtesies." ”

The guy who had been standing aside looked extremely embarrassed, one looked at the guy who served the tea, signaled to change the tea, and soon, another bowl of tea was sent to Yao Guangqi, Yao Guangqi picked up the bowl lid again and smelled it, and at the same time glanced at his mouth, still disdainfully said: "Although this is this year's new tea Longjing, it is not before the Ming Dynasty, let alone on Shifeng Mountain, how dare we take out this kind of tea to meet guests!" Forget it, if you don't drink it, you can't drink any good tea in such a small place. ”
