Chapter 145: Gift-giving
Qin Hao only felt that he couldn't cry or laugh at this time, and said: "Master, I am the only disciple of the master, and I have no father, this master and I are no different from father and son, and you are no different from my mother, this son buys something for his parents, can it be called a gift?" ”
Pei Shi was stunned for a moment, and didn't know what to refute for a while, but smiled and said: "You kid, what are you bringing, your master and I are poor, and we can't use good things, so you better take it back." ”
Qin Hao secretly complained, if this Hedong Pei clan is also considered poor, we will not be able to live.
Qin Hao said with a smile: "My wife said that I laughed, I was a little careful, it was all home-made, and it wasn't worth much money, don't look at the expensive ones sold outside, but the cost is extremely low, and I ask my wife to laugh." ”
As he spoke, he took out a large box of facial masks from his baggage and sent them up, saying, "I wish my wife to be young forever, eighteen years old every day." ”
This mask has long been sold to Chang'an, with Pei's status, it is naturally impossible not to know what this is, I heard that the noblewomen in Chang'an City are crazy for a mask, and the world has long been speculated at sky-high prices, sometimes even if you have money, you can't buy this thing.
As a woman, Pei's family naturally yearns for this thing very much, but after all, their family is 'poor', how can there be a reason for this thing? At this time, when he saw Qin Hao take it out, his eyes lit up, but he was even more hesitant.
Qin Hao said: "Master, you can use it, this thing was originally made by His Royal Highness the county lord of my sect, and the materials are actually very cheap, if the master is interested, it doesn't hurt to tell the master, the apprentice has discussed with the Xue family, this mask shop will also open in Chang'an sooner or later, and you might as well hang it in the name of the senior brother when the time comes." ”
Pei Shi frowned again when he heard this, and said, "No! My Wei family is a clean and upright family, and I don't touch these copper-smelling things. ”
Qin Hao smiled: "It's okay, then hang on the apprentice." ”
Then he said: "Senior brother is good, I have heard that my senior brother is good at writing, so I have something to give." ”
Saying that, Qin Hao took out a set of four treasures of the study and said, "Senior brother, look at this, the pen is made of rhino horn from Pei Ju Pei Lao Pei's trade in the Western Regions, and later the war at the end of the Sui Dynasty, the Central Plains and the Western Regions broke off contact, and I have never seen such a long rhino horn again. ”
Wei Zheng's son is called Wei Shuyu, because Wei Zheng got married late, so don't look at it as the eldest son, but he is a little younger than Qin Hao in terms of age, and he is the most out of age.
Qin Hao's set of four treasures in the study room has a lot of origins, and there is Wang Xizhi's money on the inkstone, even in the Tang Dynasty, it is a priceless treasure, and it is not small to use this thing as a meeting gift.
"Yu'er, don't be presumptuous, let it go."
"Mother, this Brother Qin is our own family, and my family prepared something for my family, can it be called a gift."
Qin Hao also said: "Master, our family is a family of poetry and books, such elegant things will not tarnish the reputation of the master, if you don't accept it, the apprentice will have an opinion." ”
Pei Shi thought for a while and sighed: "It's okay, Hao'er, my master knows that you have great skills and can make money, but your master has been poor all his life, so don't let others chew their tongues." ”
Qin Hao said: "The filial piety of our own apprentices, who dares to chew their tongues." ”
Pei Shi smiled, turned the topic over, and said, "You kid will pick the time, just come over in time for dinner, is there something wrong with coming to your master?" ”
"Hehe, it's nothing, I'm almost done with Luoyang, I'm going to come to Chang'an to open a branch of the Green Gang, and by the way, let's see if the saint will reward me as a petty official, I don't know much about life in Chang'an City, so naturally I can only come to the master."
Pei raised his eyebrows and asked, "You want to stay?" ”
Qin Hao smiled: "Yes, I'm afraid that before I find a suitable house, I will have to temporarily disturb my wife." ”
Pei's face changed, but he said with a smile: "This kid actually talks about two families, what is the family bothering or not, I've been tired for a few days, just right, try the master's craftsmanship, Yu'er, you accompany me, I'll go to the back kitchen to see if dinner is ready." ”
With that, Pei got up and left, but Wei Shuyu was still holding the four treasures of the study and couldn't put it down, and greeted Qin Hao: "Brother Qin, the family is poor, see and smile." ”
Qin Hao said with a smile: "My Qing Gang has made a lot of money, and in addition, I have a part of the house to help the two princes build a house in Luoyang, if you need it, I can pay for it to be repaired." ”
Wei Shuyu said: "Forget it, my mother won't agree, she always says that diligence and thrift are virtues, you don't see that our family is poor, and rats don't want to come." ”
Qin Hao said with a smile: "There is a good wife in the family, and she will not cause trouble, my wife is from a big family, but she is willing to be poor, and she can still guard the master to remind him not to forget his original intention, so that we will have the resounding name of our family." ”
Wei Shuyu smiled bitterly and didn't say anything, there are some things that everyone understands, but it's not appropriate to say them.
Qin Hao said with a smile: "Brother Shuyu can be with me in the future, I am also considered to be a thin family, sometimes we men have no money in their pockets, and it is not hard to go out to talk." ”
"Okay, just don't let my mother know about this."
At this time, I heard the outside say: "What don't you want your mother to know?" ”
Pushing the door in, it wasn't who Wei Zheng was, Wei Shuyu pretended to be stupid and laughed twice, trying to mix up, Wei Zheng didn't pay attention to him, and said to Qin Hao, "You came to Chang'an, but you didn't even know about me, and the secrecy work was done very well." ”
Qin Hao smiled: "Isn't this to be low-key, low-key." ”
Saying that, Qin Hao took out the gift and said: "Now the apprentice is not what it used to be, this apprenticeship has been so long, but he has not even given the apprenticeship ceremony, this is a deed of the villa in Luoyang Development Zone, and the apprentice deliberately left one for the master's retirement in the future." ”
Wei Zheng smiled: "Luoyang Development Zone? You kid is so big, I heard that someone in that place has shouted 500,000 yuan now, and you didn't put it out, but you came to honor me. ”
Qin Hao said with a smile: "The account can't be calculated like this, this Luoyang Development Zone was built under the nose of Master, how much does it cost, but in fact, this house is not worth a few dollars, that is, a little heart." ”
Wei Shuyu smiled on the side: "Brother Qin, your apprenticeship is too precious, my father is such a poor person, if he accepts it, what will happen." ”
Wei Zheng smiled and said: "Put it away, the house will be yours in the future, don't let your mother know, your family doesn't need to see the outside, if you have money in the future, just tell him that this kid has money, and it's all earned under my nose." ”
At this time, even Qin Hao was quite surprised, he couldn't imagine that Wei Zheng was so simple.
Wei Zheng said, "What's embarrassing to take your things, since your father is gone, you will be my own child in the future, but your wife is the person, from a big family, and I don't want to eat anything, the picture is a reputation, sometimes it is inevitable to do too much, there is a suspicion of selling fame and reputation, I have never paid much attention to this kind of thing, there are people in this world who want power and profit, and naturally there are people who want fame, after all, it is not a bad thing, and she is happy, I can't spend your money, You can help my son. ”
Qin Hao said: "That's that, Master Mother likes fame, so it's better to do it, apprentice... ”
But he saw Wei Zheng stretch out his hand and said: "Hao'er, the master will not be polite to you with the money you earn, but those tongues under your hands do not belong to you completely, they should be real national weapons, such dignified national weapons, they must not be used in our own family to have fun, understand?" Your master wants to make a name for herself, so you let her toss it herself, I am in charge of him, and I will naturally cooperate with her, but the heavy weapon in your hand must not be moved on this, understand? ”
Qin Hao smiled and said, "Master, you really have a clear distinction between public and private." ”
