29. Gift-giving
This was Tang Jin's first time showing his calligraphy talent, and it was not only Wang Dong who was shocked, but also Nangong Wan's brothers and sisters. After a pair of "My Sky", Tang Jin wrote two more small scrolls and sent them to Nangong Xun and Wang Dong.
Afterwards, Nangong Wang and Tang Jin returned to the inn.
After coming back, Chrysanthemum told Nangong Wan that their whereabouts might have been exposed, and the three of them only lived in one room, leaving one room vacant. Nangong was not pretentious, and felt that it was indeed safer to have Tang Jin's protection. However, after all, the co-ed room with men and women attracts people's talk, but the second daughter insisted that Tang Jin had no choice but to obey his fate, made a bunk in the room, and sat there to meditate silently. Fortunately, the night was a false alarm, and there were no Assassins encountered throughout the night.
Tang Jin meditated for a night, not only did he not feel the slightest tiredness, but he was even more energetic. Although it is not a "sleeping skill" that is practiced, it is just an ordinary qi training technique of the Hidden Immortal Sect, but the effect is also extraordinary.
When he got up in the morning, the old man Nangong was already waiting in front of the inn. Nangong Xiao, Nangong Wang, Nangong Xun and several subordinates are there.
Knowing that the three of them had the same room last night, Nangong Wang reprimanded: "Tang Jin, as a subordinate, how can you share a room with your master?" ”
Nangong Wan hurriedly explained, "Big brother, don't blame him, I asked for it, for the sake of safety." ”
The old man of Nangong smiled: "Forget it, it's not too early, we should go to Liu's Mansion." ”
"By the way, Dad, are you ready for the birthday gift?" Nangong Wan asked.
"Of course. Let's go. ”
After a while, the people from Nangong Mansion arrived in front of Liu's Mansion. Except for the old man who came in a sedan chair, everyone else came on horseback.
At this time, the red lantern was hung high in front of Liu's house. There were hundreds of people lining up to pay homage to birthdays, not to mention hundreds of people, all carrying various gift boxes in their hands. Of course, there are also many gifts carried by the two.
The people in this mansion seemed to recognize Nangong Xiao, and Liu Wang, the housekeeper of the Liu Mansion, went out to greet him personally, "The old man of Nangong is here, and he is shining!" ”
The old man asked his subordinates to hand out a birthday gift, a brocade box made of yellow rosewood.
"Steward Liu, the true handiwork of Chu Suiliang in the early Tang Dynasty is a pair of "Ni Kuanzan", a small and thin gift is not a tribute!"
Steward Liu's eyes lit up, and he shouted loudly: "The old man of the Nangong family in Xunyang Town, Chu Suiliang, the fourth master of the early Tang Dynasty, has a pair of authentic works "Ni Kuanzan"! ”
This time, the gift-givers all whispered, obediently, generously, this word is worth thousands of taels of silver!
Governor Liu, who was entertaining guests in the back room, naturally heard it and hurried out the door!
"Oh, Brother Nangong, you are too polite, you are too expensive, too expensive!" Governor Liu went out and smiled at Nangong.
Nangong said with a smile: "I know that the prefect likes to collect celebrity paintings and calligraphy, and this "Ni Kuanzan" expresses his heart. Congratulations to the prefect on the blessing of the East China Sea, and the longevity is better than the old pine of Nanshan! ”
"Thank you, thank you! Hurry up and invite Master Nangong to take a seat! Governor Liu's eyes narrowed into a slit with a smile, and with that fat body, he really looked like a big-bellied corrupt official.
Tang Jin scolded in his heart, dead corrupt officials, bribes in the name of birthdays, don't think that Lao Tzu can't see your ghost thoughts!
In the past, Tang Jin naively thought that the official lords married a few aunts and wives mainly because of physiological excess, but later found out that it was not all right, and there was a lot of knowledge in it. It's right to have a wedding wine when you get married, it's right to have a wedding wine for aunts and wives to have children, and it's right to have a wedding wine for aunts and wives to celebrate their birthdays. Nima's, how many times a year do you have to do a wedding to be willing? The most important thing is not because the eldest lord holds a wedding wine, and the people below want to give interesting gifts?
Tang Jin still remembers that in his previous life, he saw an article on the ** Internet about the way of officials, saying that those who didn't have the opportunity and didn't dare to give gifts to the leaders on weekdays suddenly had a chance! There is no reason to send it on weekdays, but now there is a reason, the leader's son is getting married! Oops, here's your chance!
So someone gave tens of thousands of gifts! And that's not all. Someone gave a double ticket for a 10-day tour of Europe worth hundreds of thousands! Someone gave the keys to a Cadillac sedan worth seven or eight hundred thousand! Someone else directly sent a key, the door key to a house worth millions in a certain community!
Jinnima**Ah!
But think about it on the other hand, if there are no corrupt officials, how can there be these bribe-givers? Perhaps, this so-called human and national conditions really goes back to ancient China. In fact, it is still impossible to escape the so-called inferior nature of human beings?
For this kind of scene, most of the officials who act on the spot also understand, but there are really not many Tang Jin who have seen it so thoroughly, at least Nangong Wan and Nangong Xun have not seen it so deeply.
"Okay, good, Wang'er, Xun'er, Wan'er, I've seen Governor Liu!" Nangong smiled and introduced the three children. Nangong Wangliu Zhifu is acquainted, and Nangong Xun and Nangong Wan are still seeing each other for the first time.
When he learned that the mysterious and beautiful masked woman was Nangong Xiao's daughter, Liu Zhifu looked up and down with a smile, "What a handsome girl, Brother Nangong is so blessed!" ”
"Nangong Wan has seen Governor Liu!"
"Nangong Xun has seen Governor Liu's mansion!"
"Governor Liu, Nangong Wang wishes you a year and a year!" Nangong Wang is more sophisticated, not only to make a gesture, but also to give a gift by the way.
"This is a bloodstone seal found by the little nephew, and I ask the adults to evaluate it."
"The virtuous nephew has a heart!"
Governor Liu looked at the steward, and Steward Liu accepted Nangong Wang's birthday gift with a smile.
"Alright, let's come in first!"
So, the old man Nangong led his three children into the house. Tang Jin was about to come in, but he was stopped at the door by Nangong Wang, "On this occasion, you can also come in?" ”
"But I want to keep Miss safe? Besides, didn't the eldest young master's guard Scar also go in? Tang Jin said.
Scar glared at Tang Jin, and said in his heart, can you fucking compare with me?
"Miss Protection? One person with chrysanthemums is fine. Nangong said.
"Okay, just listen to the eldest brother, Tang Jin, a few of you stay outside and wait." Nangong said gently.
So, Chrysanthemum followed Nangong Wan in. Tang Jin, Bamboo, Orchid, and Nangong's two personal guards also stayed outside.
was turned away, and it was false to say that he was not depressed at all, but there were indeed a lot of people who went to Nangong's house. Tang Jin, the lowest-ranking subordinates, had no choice but to stay.
Tang Jin asked Orchid and Bamboo to wait in the lord's sedan chair, but the two of them didn't dare. The two guards next to the old man were also the bosses with staring eyes.
Looking at the two bearded and glaring guards, and sweeping the crowd of people queuing up to give gifts behind him, Tang Jin took out a wine gourd and poured a sip of wine, and said to the orchid and bamboo: "It's too boring, master, I'll go to sleep on the tree, something will wake me up!" ”
As he spoke, Tang Jin flew to the wide branch in the middle of the sycamore tree more than five zhang high with a light effort, and lay down while drinking and resting.
The two guards were stunned, and their jaws almost dropped. Damn, the guard next to the third lady turned out to be a big master, look away, look away, damn!
Bamboo and Orchid snorted at the two guards, and said in their hearts, you know how powerful our three-room family is right? Then the two talked about Tang Jin's handsomeness that flew just now.
Of course, in addition to a few of them, there were also a few people who inadvertently turned back as gifts, and there was also one person who saw Tang Jinfei's body on the tree, that is, Wang San, who followed Jin Daxing.
At this banquet, Jin Daxing was naturally one of the invited VIPs. Wang San, as his most powerful dog in Xunyang Town, naturally came. It's a pity that his status is still too low, and he is just a disciple of the Beggar Gang, who is just getting started, and he is not qualified to follow Jin Daxing around and accompany him to go in and drink.
However, Wang San also has a mission to stay outside, that is, to monitor the people of Nangong Mansion, especially Tang Jin!
In a dark corner of Liu's mansion, Wang San looked at Tang Jin who was resting on his uncle from a distance, squinting his eyes and thinking, "What the hell, how many days of hard work has this been, this kid will fucking do light work?" Didn't I get dazzled just the fuck? ”
This time, Tang Jin and they wanted to deal with Jin Daxing, and Jin Daxing and they also wanted to deal with Nangong Wan and a few people. In Xunyang Town, it was the territory of Nangong Mansion, but in Jiangzhou, it was the territory of the beggar gang.
Therefore, at this banquet, as long as Tang comes in, Jin Daxing will naturally let him come and go!
"What can I do? If this kid Tang Jin really has this light skill, his combat power must have become very strong, which is very detrimental to our plan! Wang San thought.
At this time, Tang Jin naturally also discovered the third king. When you reach the innate realm, you can be said to be deaf and clear-sighted, as long as you release your innate true qi to perceive, you can see the movements within a radius of thousands of meters. It's just that he doesn't pay attention to Wang San. After pouring a few sips of wine, I started to sleep, trying to run the "sleeping exercise" to see if I could practice on the tree.
