Chapter 47: The Last Move
Xie Hong is not worried about his mother's illness, but after Xie's mother arrived in Dongjiazhuang, her health has improved a lot in the past month. In fact, after Xie Hong Xianbao became official, the old man's spirit had already improved, but the Xie family's environment was too bad, so it did not improve.
Although he won the silver reward, Xie Hong still couldn't get out of a big mansion for a while. Even if he really bought a house, he still had to hire people in the house, and the usual expenses were also very large, and there was no other income, and he couldn't support it with his money alone. Dongjiazhuang is a big family, these are not lacking, and the place is good, so the old man's health is also good.
The Dong family's manpower also spread the news, and it must not be difficult to find a doctor. Xie Hong pondered, as long as he had the money in his hand, he didn't have to worry about it, there should be a lot of good doctors in the Ming Dynasty. Therefore, Gu Imperial Doctor's proposal, he was not moved at all, but gave the other party another embarrassment.
Of course, his biggest dissatisfaction with Imperial Doctor Gu was the inexplicable arrogance of the other party, as if no one without birth and fame was worthy of living. He originally thought that if the other party was soft, and his side was angry, the pagoda should be sold to him, according to the valuation of the owner of Dong Zhuang, he spent 30,000 taels to buy this thing, which was a bargain.
But now it seems...... Xie Hong pouted secretly, even if he let the other party go, Imperial Doctor Gu didn't want to let him go. Otherwise, the fierce light that flashed in the old man's eyes from time to time was not aimed at himself, but at which one?
The news that Ma Wentao inquired about was quite accurate, and the Gu family's cash was really a lot, and it didn't take long for Steward Gu to come back. When Xie Hong said the number of 30,000 taels before, he really didn't have any idea how much 30,000 taels was, and when Steward Gu came back, he found that the 30,000 taels of silver was really a lot, and it was packed in a big box, thinking about it, it was more than 2,000 catties.
Checking the silver is done by the most knowledgeable steward Dong, except for a glance when the silver was just delivered, Xie Hong didn't even glance at the silver. No one is surprised by this, because as he said earlier, the money used to buy the treasure was borrowed, and he only used it for a hand.
Xie Hong kept smiling and looking at Imperial Doctor Gu, and Imperial Doctor Gu also ignored the silver, sometimes looking at the pagoda with fanatical emotions, and sometimes sweeping Xie Hong's eyes, and at this time, the fierce light of hatred flashed in his eyes.
After the silver was inspected, Xie Hong made a gesture of invitation and said, "Lord Gu, the money has been counted, so please ask the Lord to move the things away." ”
"It's not in a hurry, Lord Xie, my lord means to inspect the goods, you won't mind, right?" At this time, the transaction was almost completed, and Imperial Doctor Gu returned to his previous appearance, holding the shelf to show disdain, and the words were all spoken by the housekeeper.
The housekeeper's proposal was also expected by Xie Hong, and Xie Hong also knew that his plan was still a little blunt, after all, he was just a craftsman, and he had never been exposed to strategy or anything, and it was normal for the other party to be a little suspicious.
However, the core of Brother's plan is not strategy, Xie Hong secretly sneered in his heart, Brother relied on his own craftsmanship. It is precisely with the craftsmanship and insight that transcends the times that such a bait can be made, even if you know that there is a problem, the prey will have to take a bite. What's more, there are no major loopholes in this plan.
He smiled and said lightly: "Of course I don't mind, the silver and goods are both good, and Steward Gu just needs to ask for it." However, in front of everyone's eyes, if you deliberately destroy the pagoda, it can't be counted on Xie's head. With that, he walked slowly to the side of the pagoda.
If it was something else, the butler might really have such a thought, but this Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda was very important, so he naturally wouldn't mess around. Hearing Xie Hong say this, he sneered and said: "The Gu family is a famous family, but it is different from a small portal like the Xie family. ”
Before, Steward Gu was caught in the middle, so he whispered, but now that the matter has been finalized, including Lord Zhixian, so many people are watching, Xie Hong can't even if he wants to regret it, so his majesty trembled again, and he was also full of arrogance when he spoke.
"That's the best, Steward Gu, then please." Xie Hong was not angry, as if he didn't understand the butler's sarcasm, he pointed the folding fan towards the pagoda.
The Gu family sent out the black-faced Gu Jie, who was also quite burly, and timidly took the fan and mallet from Er Niu, and then tested the pagoda one by one.
Seeing that this manpower was used very well, Xie Hong knew that the Gu family had not completely relieved his doubts. When he finished testing the two functions and reached out to shake the pagoda again, Xie Hong suddenly said: "This strong man, you might as well lift this pagoda, and then turn it around and shake it to see." ”
At this time, the Gu family had no doubts, and they didn't want Xie Hong to suddenly have branches again, including the audience, everyone felt inexplicable, what did this side of the family do? This thing is so delicate, wouldn't it be bad if it was shaken, could it be that the master Xie was planning to regret it?
The eyes of the Gu family were focused on their master, and Imperial Doctor Gu didn't understand the taste, but he still nodded to the housekeeper, and the housekeeper understood, and raised his voice: "Since Master Xie has this proposal, Gu Jie, you can just do it, but ...... Master Xie, the ugly words are in the front, if there is a problem with the shake, it can't be counted on the Gu family's head. ”
Xie Hong shook off the folding fan and said with a smile: "Since it was Xie Mou's suggestion, if something goes wrong, naturally it will not be blamed on your mansion." ”
With the permission of the housekeeper, and hearing Xie Hong say this, Gu Jie was also unceremoniously, wrapped his hands around him, and lifted the pagoda. His strength is not as good as Erniu, and it is quite difficult to lift it, and when he shakes the pagoda, his forehead is full of green tendons. When he put down the pagoda, he even lost his strength and almost overturned the pagoda, but Xie Hong saw that something was wrong, and stepped forward to help him, so nothing happened.
Everyone was naturally amazed again, this treasure is really amazing, if it is okay to hit the top of the tower with a mallet, it is understandable, it should be that there is a load-bearing thing in it to dissolve the force; But it's okay to shake it like this, I can only say that this delicate structure is so sturdy, it's really a miracle.
Everyone was sighing, even Gu Jie, who was closest to him, didn't notice that when Xie Hong went to help the pagoda, he hooked the little finger of his right hand. His action was so small, and he had the folding fan with the ghost drawing talisman in his hand to cover it, so no one noticed this detail at all, and they were only in a reverie about who the craftsman who could make such a treasure would be.
No one even noticed that after Xie Hong helped the tower, his right hand was held gently until he saw off the visitors, and he never let go.
When the last move was completed, no one paid attention to Xie Hong, and naturally no one noticed that the expression on his face was different from before. He was still smiling, but the smile was sly, and there was a hint of determination in his eyes.
