Chapter 112: Negotiation
"I didn't expect to come back so soon."
There was a young man, dressed as a scholar, white clothes and black hair, his clothes and hair were flowing and elegant, not tied or tied, slightly fluttering, his skin was faintly shiny and flowing, and his eyes flashed with a thousand kinds of glass-like light.
The young man hung a long bow on his waist, cranked a folding fan, unhurried, walked and stopped, as if lingering on the roadside scenery, looking at that appearance, he was a clear and talented.
Finally, the boy stopped in front of the door of a family, in the red plaque hanging on the head of the door of this family, the two big black characters of "Temple Tree" are vigorous and powerful, and there is a simple taste, unlike those large and small families along the way, the plaque is so new, this is a family with enough heritage.
There is only one complete courtyard wall on one side of the entire street that is more than 200 meters long, which means that the mansion of the temple family is more than 200 meters long on one side alone.
As soon as he walked up the six steps, the middle two doors of the four doors were opened, and an old man who was a little older greeted him with a smile. His hair was a little gray, his face was wrinkled, and there was a dark black spot in the middle of his chin, I don't know if it was a mole.
"The master has returned, and you have come at the right time, miss." The old man's gaze at the young man was very gentle, like a spring breeze blowing in his face.
The corners of the young man's mouth hooked slightly, "Your eyes are still so good, I thought my cross-dressing should be seamless." She looked behind her, "Don't tell Shaka about my arrival, got it?" β
"Yes, Miss Xuehai, please come here." The old man sideways out of the way, leading Yuanxiang Xuehai into the courtyard, there were many slaves coming and going, holding all kinds of things in their hands, and the more they went inside, there were fewer and fewer people.
After about two minutes, the old man stopped, "Miss, please come in." β
The old man squatted down in the entrance to help Yuan Xiang Xuehai remove the boots on his feet, Xuehai saw that the old man retreated, and pulled the door open, and couldn't help nodding.
A man sat on his knees with a thud, made a big salute with his hands on the ground, and said that he was young lady, and his head was pressed deeply on the brocade.
Yuanxiang Xuehai is still dressed as a scholar, she saw the man's actions, gently shook the folding fan, very lady-like, squeezed out a hmm character in her nose, and did not let the man get up, but asked: "I heard that uncle, you are very good at studying many ancient characters, yes and no?" β
"Miss Huiyu, my subordinates don't dare to say anything else, but when it comes to cracking ancient texts, there are almost no ancient texts that I can't crack." , The man's answer was full of momentum, which made the expression on the face of Yuanxiang Xuehai on the side change somewhat.
"Get up."
The man was stunned for a moment, raised his head, and he stood up a little dazedly, looking at Yuanxiang Xuehai with a smile on his face.
This time I was finally able to see the man's face, this man was about forty years old, tall and strong, his skin was a little pale, he looked like he didn't smile when he smiled, his face was angular, revealing a bit of shrewdness and coldness, the white beard was dense, covering the part below the nose, and it looked like the jaw of a red-faced dragon.
Yuanxiang Xuehai looked at the man's appearance and showed a satisfied look, this subordinate is the patriarch of the Siqi clan, one of the many affiliated families of the Yuanxiang clan, if it weren't for the fact that Yuanxiang Xuehai was sheltered by this person when he was a child, the man in front of him would have no chance to become the patriarch of the powerful side.
And this man himself is also very powerful, so he can make the temple clan continue to grow.
Yuan Xiang Xuehai patted his right shoulder vigorously, then suddenly let go, raised his head, and strode inside, "What is on the table is what you translate, and I will read your translation in half an hour."
"Yes." The man lowered his head and put his right hand on his chest.
Glancing at the white paper on the table, Masaki Temple sighed lightly, he knew the first three words, but he couldn't form a meaning at all, obviously Yuan Xiang Xuehai had disrupted the order of this version that needed to be translated in advance.
Temple Aki Changji sighed silently in his heart, he has not been fully trusted, and it seems that the future will not be easy. A big family like Genka needs subordinates who want to be loyal to the main family in the first place, and a person like him, who is gradually marginalized, may become an outcast of the Genka family after a short sweet period has passed.
Hopefully, he'll have a better end.
Masaki took down a very old-looking notebook on the shelf, carefully checked the ancient text on the note, and looked at the words on the note, his eyes gradually lit up.
After another few dozen minutes, Masaki heard someone shouting his name, and he stood up and walked over there.
Yuanxiang Xuehai looked very good, she didn't change out of men's clothes, but turned around in front of a human-high golden bronze mirror, and frowned when she saw Temple Aki Changji come in, because she found that this man didn't have a note asking him to translate the ancient text, could it be that this guy translated the ancient text but didn't want to hand it in? Yuanxiang Xuehai sighed for him, fortunately, Shoji didn't really do this, otherwise he would really have to give his life here.
"This is the translation you want." , The man took out a note from his cuff and looked at Yuanxiang Xuehai calmly, making Yuanxiang Xuehai feel a trace of pressure inexplicably, "Miss, do you have any problems?" β
"Not bad." Yuan Xiang Xuehai glanced at ten lines, just glanced at the note, and stared at the temple with an expressionless face, "Do you remember that this matter can't be mentioned to anyone, especially the words on it, can it be done?" β
It looked as if she was asking for the consent of Masanki Temple, but from her tone and tone, it was not an inquiry, but an explanation, a strong command.
Temple Aki Masaki nodded, and Yuan Xiang Xuehai showed a hint of a smile.
The young patriarch of the temple family, that is, the eldest son of the temple tree Masaka, is called Temple Tree Xiaka, who was a playmate with Yuanxiang Xuehai when he was a child, and he has a very good relationship. The temple family can continue to grow, which may have something to do with the source of Xiang Iron and Steel that they have blessed and was once hidden here, Yuan Xiang Steel, the young patriarch of the Yuan Xiang family, and the eldest brother of Yuan Xiang Xuehai, when Yuan Xiang Xuehai's father had to take refuge in the temple family in order to compete for the position of patriarch, Temple Xia Ka is one of the few playmates of Yuan Xiang Xue Hai, and the only partner who makes her feel at ease.
He once climbed a tree for her to dig a bird's nest, went down to the river to catch fish, she once rode on his back as a general, he took her out to visit the temple fair, three years, Yuanxiang Xuehai stayed here for three years, and now, she is back, she wants to see him, but she dare not see him, she is afraid that when she sees him, her heart will be soft again, and she is even more afraid that time will waste the years, and also ruin people's hearts.
That's it, it's enough to let the most worried brother Xiaka live quietly in his memories like this......
It can be said that the Si Dong family can be regarded as a wealthy family on the nearby island, but there is still a long way to go from the Yuan Xiang family, because the entire Si Dong family only has four high-level trainers, and no one is stronger.
There is a lot of money, but there is no corresponding strength, which makes the temple very anxious. He knows very well that the Temple Tree family looks very beautiful now, but if it really comes to confront a thousand-year-old family like Genka, the Temple Tree Clan has no power to resist at all, and the Temple Tree Clan urgently needs to cultivate a strong person who can speak in the PokΓ©mon Alliance and belong to the family to stand up for the family.
