Chapter 250: Xuanyuan Immortal Cave (10)
In the last book, it was said that Yang Congxun and his entourage went to the Xuanyuan Cave to collect the 'Seven Exquisite Hearts' that Huang Er's grandmother had deposited here.
The treasure had just passed away, and Yang Congxun turned around and bumped into Huang Qilang, who was commanding several of his subordinates to carry a heavy brocade box.
I saw Huang Qilang, who seemed to be showing off, and gently stroked the copper bottle in the brocade box with his hand: "Although this copper bottle from the Li family is not carved from some precious material, it is better than the shape of the instrument is simple and easy to use...... Brother Yang went to Gegeao this time, if he could bring this white copper bottle by the way, it would be a great achievement, hahahaha. ”
Yang Congxun listened to Huang Qilang's words, and was stunned: Look at what this means, he Huang Qilang seems to want to give me this white copper carved vase? Why is that?
Even standing behind Yang Congxun, Daylily, who had always been at odds with Huang Qilang, was confused and spoke: "Listen to what you mean...... Are you in a hurry to give a gift? Are you that kind? ”
I saw Huang Qilang laughing triumphantly: "This is nature." After all, the second aunt was Cixia's younger brother Ma Immortal, although my Xuanyuan Cave and Gegeao have not moved for 20 years, they must be regarded as world friends. It's rare for Brother Yang to come as a guest, let's be the host, how can we say that we have to give a return gift that can be handled. What can you do with those worthless rouge gouaches? ”
After speaking, Huang Qilang ignored the daylily that was choked and his face was flushed, and turned to stare at Yang Congxun, who was holding the 'Seven Tricks Exquisite Heart' with deep meaning: "If you really want to say that Huang Qi has no other intentions here, I'm afraid that even Brother Yang won't believe it...... Don't hide it from Brother Yang, although this white copper bottle is not worth anything, it also made Huang Qi and I spend a lot of time, and at the same time put half of the shares of his own family into his Li family, so that the other side can relax. ”
"Hey, let's talk about it, it's not about asking for money? might as well say happily, how much do you Huang Qi want from us? ”
Seeing that Huang Qilang took the initiative to mention the shares he gave up, the little fox, who had always been stingy, only thought that Huang Qilang was about to ask for money next, and then he had a black face and opened his mouth to reply.
Who knew that Huang Qilang smiled at Hu Sanhaha: "Brother Hu's words are wrong, although I don't dare to boast about how rich I am in Xuanyuan Cave, these little silver horns have not been taken into account." Just ......"
Seeing Huang Qilang, he bared his teeth slightly at Yang Congxun: "Huang Qi's coming here is nothing more than to ask Brother Yang for advice, so that they can help each other to improve the art industry, so as to live up to the friendship between the two generations." If Brother Yang can overpower my Huang Qi in eyesight, this copper bottle should be offered with both hands; But if Huang Qi is lucky, I will win a move and a half......"
"I won't give this bottle?"
Hearing the little fox's questioning, Huang Qilang suddenly let out a sneer, raised his hand very contemptuously, and patted the white copper bottle standing in the brocade box: "Why did we Huang Qilang say that he was also an immortal family who had reported his name in the rivers and lakes, since this bottle said that it was going to be taken out and given away, how could it be reasonable to take it back again?" Just ......"
Speaking of this, Huang Qilang raised his head again, glanced at Yang Congxun lightly, and said with a slight smile: "I heard the second aunt say that this 'Seven Tricks Exquisite Heart' was once lost in the hands of a group of sinister villains, and in the end, it was the second aunt who joined hands with Brother Yang Lingtang to fight into the thief's nest, and then recaptured this sacrificial weapon?" ”
Without waiting for Yang Congxun to nod his head to confirm, Huang Qilang laughed and said, "In this way, the origin of this white copper bottle will be explained." ”
Listening to Huang Qilang, since he found this white copper carved vase in the gold cellar of Li Qiaozi's family, he temporarily dispelled the idea of breaking up from the Li family, and turned around and walked out of the cellar.
That Huang Qilang found the foot of the stake that he had laid out in the Li family early in the morning, and one was the account manager of the Li family on the surface, but secretly it was the brother-in-law of his Huang Qilang's brother Ma's family, a middle-aged man named Liu Quan.
This Huang Qilang instructed Liu Quan, saying that he would quietly go to the Li family's cellar to take a sum of silver recently......
When Li Qiaozi's descendants found that the well-hidden belongings in their cellar had disappeared, they would be so shocked that they would call the account office to take the account books of the past years to count the losses, and at the same time try to transfer the remaining goods in the cellar.
The task given to Liu Quan by Huang Qilang was to do everything possible to probe the two brothers of the Li family and see how this white copper bottle fell into the hands of the Li family.
Although this Huang Qilang's nature as an immortal may be a little picky and mean, his vision for choosing people is absolutely not to say, so Liu Quan only spent half a day to inquire about the ins and outs of this white copper bottle.
According to the recollection of the second child of the Li family, this white copper bottle should have been pawned in the 'small charge' by a family surnamed Wang in the village in order to buy spring-sown seeds in exchange for some money boards.
However, there are unforeseen circumstances, this Wang Jia, who came to pawn the bottle, was drenched in a heavy rain when he was harvesting summer grain, and he suffered from cold and fever, and finally spent a lot of money on medical advice, and he was unable to raise money to redeem it for a while, so he died.
Hey, the magistrate asked, I know this pawnshop, but what is 'small charge'?
This 'small charge' is actually a special kind of pawnshop, which does not accept any antiques, calligraphy, paintings, jewelry, jade, but only accepts daily groceries such as cotton clothes, cotton robes, pots and pans, and is specially designed for those farmers who are stretched thin in preparation for spring ploughing.
There is a saying that 'a penny is difficult to defeat a hero', although a twist of seeds, two iron nails, and three catties of bean cakes are some worthless bargains, but this is also something that sells money, and if you don't give a few pennies, the owner of the goods will definitely have no reason to give it to you in vain.
Without these dozens of dollars, a peasant family would not be able to sow seeds, repair farm tools, and even the large livestock that ploughed the field would not be able to save up the strength, and there would be no hope for this spring ploughing and autumn harvest.
At this time, there will be a 'small charge' to collect the thick quilts and cotton clothes that the farmers have changed after the winter, and exchange them for dozens of dollars to grab spring ploughing.
To make a long story short, after Li Qiaozi gradually accumulated a family business with the help of Huang Qilang, he also opened a 'small charge' in the village.
I don't expect to make any money, everyone is a villager; After the autumn harvest, if your family saves money, then give it a little meaning; If you are short of money for a while, then you don't have to take anything, and you can take the things...... Li Mouquan should accumulate virtue and do good, so as to accumulate a little blessing for his descendants.
In fact, according to Li Qiaozi's original intention, since Wang Jia's family has suffered, then let's return the bottle to others, which is more or less a little heart.
However, Wang Jia's face is 'thin', and he refuses to ask Li Qiaozi for the copper bottle that he returned.
Seeing this, Li Qiaozi didn't insist anymore: "That's okay, anyway, I don't think you can use this bottle much, so keep it here with me first, and I'll ask Steward Liu to send two buckets of millet to your house when I go back." ”
In the preface, it is said that on that day, Liu Quan was familiar with the car and found Wang Jia, and when he asked him about the origin of the copper bottle in person, the latter shook his head like a rattle, and refused to admit that the copper bottle was sent to the Li family by himself.
Although Wang Jia flatly denied it, it was difficult for Liu Quan, who had been taking stock on the counter for a long time, and had already seen all kinds of people from the three religions and nine streams: "Wang Jia, you don't want to admit it, right?" Don't forget, you kid, there is still the pawn ticket with your king's fingerprint on it! Let's not talk nonsense with you here, follow me to the county office, let's find the county master to fight a lawsuit! ”
Under Liu Quan's fierce coercion, Wang Jia was quickly defeated, and confessed with a handful of snot and tears: "Master Liu, don't mind, I remembered that I picked up this bottle from the fire." That year was just in time for me to go to the county seat to serve Chengdan......"
