Chapter 136: How can there be a reason for a superior official to give a gift to a lower official

Under the leadership of Wei Yan, the group successfully arrived at the county office, and a holy decree, a token and the corresponding documents quickly confirmed the identity of Li Anran's observation envoy. Although, the county lord of Xiangyang County is also a little strange because the observation in front of him makes the observation place so far away, and there is no right to dispose of it, but after all, it is an official position appointed by the saint, so naturally no one will be stupid enough to find anything unpleasant for himself.

Considering that there will be time to travel around in the Tang Dynasty in the future, the most important thing at the moment is to solve the problem of funds first, and Li Anran is not prepared to stay in Xiangyang City for long. However, the people have already come, so naturally they can't go home empty-handed.

After declining the invitation of Xiangyang County Zun and other officials, Wei Yan, who was named by Li Anran, had to act as a tour guide.

What made Wei Yan even more incomprehensible was that this saint-appointed observer did not ask about the livelihood of Xiangyang County, nor did he care about bandits and displaced people, but asked him to recommend the largest jewelry store in the county.

But if you don't understand it, you can't understand it, the superiors have a fate, and there is naturally no reason to refuse when you are a subordinate.

So under the leadership of Wei Yan, Li Anran and his entourage of four came to the largest jewelry store in Xiangyang County. With the presence of the local snake of Wei Zhukuai, coupled with the identity of someone's observer, the owner of this shop not only heard the news quickly, but also received it personally.

After some greetings, Li Anran asked Zhao Er to open the baggage he was carrying, revealing three long wooden boxes inside.

What Li Anran brought this time was not a man-made gemstone bare stone, but a well-processed gemstone jewelry. Rather, it is a whole set of gemstone jewelry from headdresses, earrings, necklaces, brooches to bracelets, rings, pendants, and even anklets. The three sets of ornaments are different in color. There are rubies, sapphires and emeralds, although they are still man-made gemstones, but whether it is the volume of the gemstones, the workmanship of the jewelry, or the mirror-grade 925 sterling silver as an ingredient, these three sets of jewelry appear high-end and high-grade.

At the beginning, the owner of the jewelry store still didn't know the use of brooches, rings and anklets, and so on according to Li Anran's requirements, he recruited three handmaidens with good looks, and Su Xiaomei and Xiangyun worked together to wear three sets of jewelry on these three people, especially after supplementing and irradiating with a strong flashlight. The bright light made the owner of the jewelry store look straight at him immediately.

It was at this time that he came to his senses. When I was thinking about what price to offer, so that I would not suffer a loss, and at the same time, I would not lose the face of the county lord and the observer in front of me, but I unexpectedly got a request.

To say money. Li Anran is not lacking. Not to mention the silver that Su Xiaomei and the three of them carried. The buggy alone contained a lot of copper coins and silver. So. When I took out the three sets of jewelry, it was naturally not to exchange money for gold and silver, but to exchange for some superb jade materials or jade ornaments.

For such outlandish requests. The proprietor of the jewelry store hesitated for a moment, then decisively agreed. First, he estimated the three sets of jewelry at a price that satisfied both parties, and then took out the best jade materials and jade ornaments in the store for Li Anran to choose.

In terms of price, Li Anran didn't care. First, there is Wei Yan, who represents the county respect, next to him, and I believe that as long as the owner of this jewelry shop does not have a problem with his brain, he will not and dare not mess around. Moreover, he is not selling money, but exchanging, this in and out of the jewelry shop is equal to two hands, even if it is done according to the market, the profit in it will not be less.

After choosing a few large pieces of satisfactory jade, Li Anran made up some silver and selected five very good jade ornaments. To say that these five pieces of jade jewelry are expensive, they are more expensive, but they are superior in texture. Moreover, according to the owner of the jewelry shop, these five jade ornaments are still antiquities of the Qin and Han dynasties, and the price is naturally not comparable to ordinary jade ornaments.

Regarding the question of whether antiquities are antiquities or not, although Li Anran, who is a layman, can't see it, he has the face of Xiangyang County, plus his identity as an observer, and the other party does not dare to deceive himself.

After stuffing the exchanged jade materials and jade ornaments into the trunk of the off-road vehicle that had been named "Wooden Ox Liuma", he looked at the time and found that Li Anran, who could still catch up for a while, did not return to the county government, and directly asked Wei Yan to lead the way, and took his group to a remote and flat open land in the southeastern suburbs of Xiangyang City.

If you have leisure in the future, you can go to the Taibai Mountain Xiaoyao Villa in the southwest of Chang'an City, and then I will be a landlord." After stopping the car, Li Anran walked down and said with a smile.

"Don't dare, I'll visit you another day!" Wei Yan, who bowed his hand, said with a straight face.

"In that case, I won't delay the time for Wei to catch quickly." Speaking of this, Li Anran stretched out his hand, and Zhao Er, who also followed down from the car, put a flannel bag about the size of an adult's palm.

"I traveled this time, I don't have anything long, this little thing should be a meeting gift for the juniors of Wei Zhukuai's family, and I hope I don't shirk it." Li Anran, who personally handed over the flannel bag, said with a smile.

When he was in the jewelry store, ......he had already seen someone's generous guard, and he knew that most of the small cloth pockets were not really small things. I had the heart to refuse, but when the words came to my mouth, I swallowed them back, but took the flannel bag with both hands and said respectfully: "Observation makes a generous gift, and the younger generation of the family accepts it." If there is a dispatch in the coming day, as long as there is something within his ability, it will definitely be the work of dogs and horses. ”

"Ha Lu Ha...... Hurry up, please first! Li Anran, who knew that the other party had misunderstood what he meant, didn't explain, and immediately hugged his fists and smiled.

"Observer, so-and-so took his leave." Hearing that the other party must have something to do, it was inconvenient to let himself be present, and Wei Yan, who accepted the flannel pocket, had nothing to do, and after saluting, he turned over and got on the horse directly, and disappeared into the forest path not far away after a while.

Without outsiders present, Su Xiaomei and Xiangwen, who were still sitting in the car, opened the car door together and walked down.

"Young master, why did you give this little catcher a generous gift, but you didn't pay attention to those officials in Xiangyang City?" Flashing with big watery eyes, Su Xiaomei asked.

"Stupid, your young master and I are also a saintly appointed observer, and it is good not to let the county of Xiangyang County give him a gift, how can there be a reason for the upper official to give a gift to the lower official." Li Anran, who gently scraped the other party's Qiong's nose, said with a smile.

"Oh, I see." Su Xiaomei, who was covering her nose, said abruptly.

"Young master, this Wei Zhu is almost a capable person." Xiang, who was standing on the side, said suddenly.

"Yes, how can you have such a reputation in this Shannan Dao, how can you not have the strength. This time it can be regarded as a good fate, and maybe one day it will be used. Li Anran, who knew what the other party meant, nodded and said.

But in this way, for this kind of talent born and raised in the Tang Dynasty time and space, although Li Anran really needs it now, he doesn't dare to really use it as a henchman. Therefore, although there is indeed some interest in this guard, it is not to the point of being recruited to the point of getting it.

After a few words of gossip, Li Anran asked Zhao Er to take Su Xiaomei and Xiangyun to find a place to settle down temporarily, and he took the "wooden ox flowing horse" loaded with jade materials and jade ornaments to travel back to modern time and space.

The afternoon of Datang is the early morning of modern times, after getting the jade materials and jade ornaments to the small vault of the underground studio and putting them away, Li Anran also took the time to take a shower, and then took the "Little Antelope" helicopter to Datang time and space.

Seeing that it was already more than four o'clock in the afternoon, Li Anran did not delay any longer. After Zhao Er and the three of them got on the plane, they directly drove the "Little Antelope" into the air and flew quickly in the direction of the calibrated route.

Not long after Li Anran and his entourage left, on a hill about a few miles away from this flat grassland, they saw a man and a horse looking at the direction in which the helicopter disappeared and were stupid.

"It is recorded in ancient books that the male loser cuts bamboo and wood and thinks it is a magpie, but it does not fall for three days. I thought this was just a legend, but I was lucky enough to see it, and compared to the wooden magpie, this thing is even more impressive. I really don't know where this saintly appointed Li Observer came from? Could it be that it will be ......" Wei Yan, who had only recovered from the shock for a while, couldn't help but think secretly. (To be continued......)
