Looking at the smiling Xu in front of him, Gao Tianwu felt very cramped, and hurriedly put down the teacup in his hand, got up from the chair and saluted with fists, and asked tentatively: "Under Gao Tianwu, I don't know what to call Mrs."

Xu had already considered these gifts in his heart, and the smile on his face also came from the heart: "I am the mother of the Yang Mansion. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ”

"I see!"

Gao Tianwu hurriedly bent his waist lower, and his words became more respectful and humble: "I was ordered by my father to come to the Yang Mansion with gifts to pay New Year's greetings. I don't know if the lady is noble, don't blame it. ”

Gao Tianwu's dress is very hunter-like. The gray wolf has a shoulder on his shoulders, a bearskin hat, a cheetah belt, a fox skin knee pad, a tiger skin bag on his back, and a string of hard and sharp animal teeth on his chest. This is almost the standard attire of the members of the Gao family, firstly because of the cold weather, and secondly, it is also convenient for movement. It's just that these furs are of good quality, and although you are ordinary in the way you wear them, they are very eye-catching, and there is an indescribable sense of wealth between the barbaric and rude.

Xu Jingkang, who was standing next to Xu, seemed to think of something, released a strange look in his eyes, and asked: "The surname is Gao? So, the distinguished guest is from the Gao family?"

Gao Tianwu was a little surprised: "What's the matter, Mr. knows my father?"

The people around immediately focused their eyes on Xu Jingkang, who was also quite impressive, shook his head and said: "The Gao family's hunting skills are unparalleled in the world, and at least eighty percent of the wild beasts traded in the world come from the Gao family. The young master of the Gao family is here, and my Xu family is also full of brilliance. ”

As he spoke, Xu Jingkang said to Xu's repeatedly: "Sister, the distinguished guest has come to the door, and quickly ordered someone to set up a feast for good entertainment." I will order someone to go back and invite the ancestors to come over. It's a rare thing!"

Gao Tianwu didn't pay attention to the word "Xu family" in Xu Jingkang's words. He came to the capital of Chu for the first time. I don't know much about the situation here. Gao Liquan sent people to give gifts, wanting to surprise Yang Tianhong. I didn't send anyone to contact me before. There is nothing wrong with the thoughts of the Gao family's father and son: the Yang family has been military generals for generations, the hussar general Yang Jingwei is famous, and Anzhou before Yang Tianhong killed 100,000 Yue barbarians. In the capital, as long as the name of the Yang family is reported, many people know what the place is. In fact, it was the same, all the way from the city gates. Anyone who asks on the way can point the way. Walking here, there are also two big words "Yang Mansion" hanging above the door of the mansion.

For the Chinese New Year, who doesn't have a few relatives and friends?

What's more, when he was invited in to sit in the hall and drink tea, Gao Tianwu also asked the maid in particular, is this a resolute waiting?

The maid at that time was a little hesitant, but she still nodded.

Just be sure. This also made Gao Tianwu believe that he was not in the wrong place.

Didn't the noble lady standing in front of her also say that she was the matriarch of the Yang Mansion.

Gao Tianwu no longer had any doubts, and hurriedly took out the gift list from the tiger skin bag on his body. Respectfully handed it over.

The surface of the bright red gift list is full of beautiful pale gold patterns. The Xu family and the Xu brothers were born wealthy, and of course they knew that this was the famous "gilt sign" from the "Jingzhufang" of Qi State. This sign is exquisitely made, all the processes take a lot of time, just a thin one, in the market is worth 100 Wen, ordinary people simply can't afford to use it. Like this kind of gift slip fold made of "gilt stick", the process is even more complicated, and one piece will be sold for five taels of silver. Except for the occasional use of dignitaries. I don't usually see it at all.

The Xu family didn't think much about the relationship between himself and the world-famous Gao family. With Xu Jingkang's previous conversation with Gao Tianwu, Xu instinctively thought. Gao Tianwu is a gift to the Xu family. Moreover, the Xu family brothers talked to themselves about the beast business in the inner hall. The two compartments confirmed that although there were a few slight strange things, Xu also downplayed them from the subjective consciousness, and felt that Gao Tianwu **** was a special gift. Moreover, the gift list is handed to yourself. The object of purpose is also obvious.

Gently opening the gift list, the moment his eyes made contact with the words, Xu couldn't help but retract his right hand and gently covered his lips, extremely shocked. There was an "ah" in ecstasy.

The first item on the gift list is "100,000 taels of white snow silver for the New Year." ”

What is the concept of white snow silver?

There are many names for different colors of silver in the world. Among them, the silver with the highest purity came from the courts of various countries, and the luster was shining, and both were ingot-shaped, smooth silver ingots with a smooth appearance. Folks generally call it snowflake silver.

The difference between white snow silver and snow silver is just one word, but the quality is very different. White snow silver comes from overseas, and it is said that this special precious metal is only found in volcanic areas. High temperatures have a natural refining effect on silver, which is difficult to mine and hard to come by. The silver is truly as white as snow, faintly and hazy transparent. White snow silver is rarely circulated in the market, and it is generally used by the royal family to ministers. Due to the special quality and the rare quantity, the folk also highly respect Bai Xueyin. All the firms have an exchange point between Bai Xue Yin and Guan Yin, and the ratio between them is more than ten times that of each other.

100,000 taels of white snow silver, equivalent to millions of taels of snowflake silver. If it's plain silver, it's even more.

Xu's gaffe immediately attracted the attention of the Xu brothers. The two of them, one on the left and one on the right, leaned over to look at the gift list. Just at a glance, the two of them couldn't help but change color at the same time, and suddenly gasped for cold air, and there was an extremely shocking "hiss" sound between their teeth.

One hundred flaming lions.

One hundred purple-eyed thunder leopards.

200 Bloody Blue Wolves......

Next, there are precious things such as three-hundred-year-old Ganoderma lucidum, black tiger whip, green root rhino horn, and silver fox skin. Then, there are various mountain goods such as lion's mane mushroom, black fungus, golden needle vegetables, and the best deer breast on the gift list. Although some of these things are ordinary, because of the remote and cold production area, even the Xu family, who travels between the north and the south, is not easy to get, let alone those extremely expensive gifts, and it is even more exciting to look at the name.

The last item on the gift list made the eyes of the three Xu family and the Xu family brothers widen, and even their breathing became short.

One thousand-year-old ginseng.

Xu Jingyezhi felt that a lot of chaotic and inexplicable thoughts suddenly popped up in his mind. He stared at the gift list, and involuntarily read out the last line in a dry and somewhat transfigured voice: "Millennial ginseng...... Is this true?"

There are many stories about ginseng in the world. It is said that if ginseng grows for thousands of years, it will absorb enough aura of heaven and earth and can transform into human form. Generate self-awareness. The image of thousand-year-old ginseng is basically a cute fat doll wearing a red belly pocket. As long as this kind of artifact is grasped, thrown into the soup pot and boiled, and one bite can become an immortal.

Of course, this is just a legend, whether anyone has really seen it. Or eat, the ghost knows.

Human beings have always preferred to believe in the unknown, especially those that have an extraordinary effect on themselves, rather than believe in nothing. Everyone wants to become a fat man by eating a bite, and everyone wants to become a fairy by drinking a mouthful of soup. Under the impetus of this psychology, there is a particularly strong desire to possess the so-called elixir.

The tiger skin pocket on Gao Tianwu's body was obviously a Qiankun magic weapon. The size of the bag was just ordinary, but he could reach out and take out a white porcelain box that was more than a meter long. The box is heavy. Gao Tianwu held it but effortlessly. In front of everyone, he opened the porcelain box. Suddenly, the crowd of onlookers in the hall immediately erupted in a commotion and exclamations.

"Oh my God!

"Sure enough, it's thousand-year-old ginseng. This, this is absolutely genuine. ”

"One bite can soar in the day! This, this, this is not an exaggeration to describe it as priceless. ”

The root of this ginseng is intact, and the length from head to toe is about 80 centimeters. Because the growth time is too long. The surface of the skin is covered with wrinkles and slightly yellowish. The moment Gao Tianwu lifted the lid. A pleasantly sweet fragrance wafted through the air.

Everyone had forgotten about the boxes full of gifts in the hall. Xu also forgot the 100,000 taels of white snow silver that brought him a shocking effect in the top column of the gift list. All eyes, every gaze is firmly attracted by this thousand-year-old ginseng. The exclamations and chatters faded away, and people stared blankly at the ginseng in the porcelain box, and the flames of greed were released from the depths of their eyes.

Compared to this ginseng, millions of taels of silver is considered a fart?

If you have money, you can indeed live well. You can sing every night. The meals are all delicacies from the mountains and the sea. You can even get someone to kill themselves in front of you. For the sake of money, many people are willing to give everything.

If you have money, you have to have a life to spend.

Compared with glory and wealth, life is more precious. This is the reason why dignitaries and nobles are afraid of death. They are willing to spend a lot of money to buy pills, desperate to prolong their lives. It is because to live is to be happy, to be able to enjoy the happiness brought by money for a longer time.

An old man with a white beard squeezed over from the crowd and stood in front of Xu, the wrinkles on his face were all piled together because of the smile being too thick, like a bun with dozens of folds added by hand. The old man stared at Xu with a fierce and burning gaze like a tiger wolf, and his tone was both seductive and outright threatening: "Good nephew, the friendship between me and your mother is deep. Back then, your father borrowed a few sums of money from me. This thousand-year-old ginseng will be given to the fifteenth uncle! Don't worry, the fifteenth uncle will definitely not treat you badly in terms of money. So...... 200,000 taels, what do you think?"

Although he was discussing, the old man's movements were very fast. Before the words fell, his left hand had already stretched out, and he was about to snatch the porcelain box from Gao Tianwu.

Another short and chubby old man immediately scolded: "Old Fifteen, do you want to be shameless? Just 200,000 taels also want to take away the thousand-year-old ginseng? Are you blind? Or when everyone here is nothing? Good nephew daughter, Uncle Nineteen, I will give you 500,000 taels, and the ginseng belongs to me." ”

With the first person to stand up and grab something, it is logical that the second and third will pop up...... Suddenly, the scene in the hall became chaotic. The people standing on the periphery struggled to the front, and the people in front reached out to grab it in advance. For a while, there was no longer the previous harmonious and friendly atmosphere, and people fought for each other, yelled at each other, and didn't care about the so-called face at all.

"Your **** is just a concubine, what qualifications do you have to rob me?"

"This ginseng is huge, and I don't want to do it completely. Give me half, half is enough. ”

"Don't blame Lao Tzu for turning his face and not recognizing people, whoever robs Lao Tzu will kill him! Get out of the way, Nima's, and then block Lao Tzu's hand, Lao Tzu will even kill your parents together!"

"My hand! help...... Don't break my fingers, they're going to break!"

Gao Tianwu also encountered this situation for the first time. He was strong, and he could barely cope with them. Hurriedly closed the box and blocked left and right, but no matter where he hid, someone would always follow. Facing a large gang, he is full of fierceness. The madman who wants to grab something with his teeth and claws, can't kill it, can't cut it, Gao Tianwu really felt dazed, and he didn't know what to do for a while.

The expression on Xu Jingkang's face changed several times one after another, and he roared at the maximum volume he could reach: "Stop! It depends on the meaning of the ancestors. ”

No one listened to him. Or should I say, the volume is still not enough. Under the temptation of the words "thousand-year-old ginseng", everyone present forgot their identities, forgot that they were relatives of each other, and forgot that their surnames were Xu.

Xu Jingye's movements are more direct. He rushed forward, raised his fists, and punched the old men who were screaming loudest in the face. A few bloody teeth flew in the air, and as the most ferocious people screamed and fell, Xu Jingkang's voice could also be heard by others. The state of chaos gradually cooled down. People stood blankly, gasping for breath. In any case, the deterrent power of the ancestors is still there. Especially within the Xu family, he is definitely a man of his word.

Xu Jingkang spat at these clansmen and scolded endlessly: "A group of people who forget their righteousness for profit, just a single ginseng will make you like this." When you go back, see how the old ancestor cleans you up?"

Even so, Xu Jingkang himself also wanted to get the thousand-year-old ginseng. After all, you can't buy this kind of thing with silver. There is no reason to let it go in vain.

He turned around and walked up to Gao Tianwu, who looked frightened. He saluted and comforted with a smile: "Let Gao Gongzi smile." It's all a bunch of laymen. I have never seen the world. I also asked Mr. Gao to hand over the gift, thank Mr. Gao for his kindness in advance, and then at the banquet, let's have a few drinks. ”

The Gao family is a family outside the world, and Gao Tianwu has rarely had contact with the worldly elites before, let alone has this kind of **** gift-giving experience. Although these people could not pose a threat to him. It was easy to kill them all, but the chaotic scene of being fearless of death and bent on snatching it before still shocked and frightened Gao Tianwu. He swallowed hard in his throat and wiped a cold sweat in fear, looking at the greedy people in front of him. Only then did the most critical issue suddenly come to mind.

"Yang, Yang Gongzi, where is Yang Gongzi?"

Gao Tianwu didn't care about Xu Jingkang, whose hands were already stretched out in front of him, and searched back and forth in the crowd very impatiently, and kept shouting in his mouth: "My father has repeatedly ordered that these gifts must be handed over to Yang Gongzi in person. Isn't this the Yang Mansion? Why didn't you see Yang Gongzi?"

Because of Xu Jingkang's previous scolding, the hall has become quiet. Gao Tianwu's voice was very loud, and everyone could hear it clearly. Suddenly, the atmosphere became very strange, and the frenzied flames in everyone's eyes disappeared in an instant. Everyone looked at each other, and a few people were slowly retreating, and the old guys who were fighting for the fiercest and loudest just now put their hands into their sleeves, showing an unfathomable look, no longer speaking, and clearly wanted to see a joke. It's just that a pair of eyes are invariably focused on Xu's body, as if, this woman is not wearing clothes at all, and her whole body is covered with **** pieces of white flowers and flesh.

Xu Shi twisted a silk scarf in his hand, very hard, the finger joints were high and protruding, and the tiger's mouth was violently protruding with green tendons. The poor silk scarf was ravaged by her to a shapelessness, and could even be torn at any time. Xu's face was expressionless, and the smile on his face had long since disappeared. She lowered her head slightly, her eyes were firmly fixed on the gift list in Gao Tianwu's hand, and her lips were pursed, forming an incomparably tight line. Only the cheeks twitched slightly, and if you got closer, you could faintly hear a tooth-aching sound from them.

This is the inner courtyard of the Yang Mansion, and Gao Tianwu shouted that the gift must be handed over to Yang Gongzi, which is enough to explain the problem.

In the Yang Mansion, there are a total of three Yang Gongzi. Both of Xu's biological sons are surnamed Yang. However, neither the Xu family nor the Xu family brothers, nor all the guests of the Xu family in the hall did not think that the gifts sent by Gao Tianwu had anything to do with the two brothers Yang Wenjia and Yang Wenyao. That's two idle gentlemen all day long. If it is a bird walking cockfight, and evaluating which girl is beautiful, Yang Wenyao and Yang Wenjia can definitely be the best in Beijing. But when it comes to getting acquainted with masters outside the world, especially the powerful wealthy family like the Gao family, who has monopolized the business of wild beasts in the world, the Yang family brothers can't even say a word.

Things are already clear. The Yang Gongzi mentioned by Gao Tianwu must be the new Yi Yonghou, and Yang Tianhong, the envoy of Anzhou Festival.

This is the Yang Mansion, and there is a wall between the inner courtyard and the outer courtyard. The gate of the outer courtyard was newly opened later, and the people in the capital are accustomed to calling the inner courtyard Yang Mansion. This is a mistake caused by habits of thought, and it is not that someone deliberately wants to lead Gao Tianwu here. It's just that today is really not a good day for jokes, and the atmosphere of the occasion is not right.

Looking at the people in front of him who had fallen into silence, Gao Tianwu understood that something was not quite right, even if he was a fool. He hurriedly put away the gift list as quickly as possible, put on a defensive posture, and asked vigilantly: "What is this place? Where is Yang Gongzi?"

Xu felt like his teeth were about to be broken alive, and his cheeks, which had been lightly powdered, turned red. The vivid red spread down his neck, and instantly turned white because of the pressure of his blood vessels. The change was so strong that Xu even felt a little dizzy, and the anger that had accumulated in his chest was enough to suffocate him to death. (To be continued.) )
