241. Antique?
Xu has lived a lifetime in the palace, and Hua Ruoxi does not have the slightest shelf of a congenital master.
He half-squinted, with a light smile on his face that was difficult to distinguish between the real and the fake, and kept playing with a mutton fat jade wrench on his finger.
This wrench finger is antique, delicate and moisturizing, and it is priceless at a glance, but it is also losing the momentum of a strong man.
But Lu Li didn't dare to underestimate it.
The sense of oppression of this old eunuch is twice that of Zhenghong, second only to Dazuo Yin Teng Tailong, which makes people's backs faintly chill.
There is also a fine light in the half-squinted eyes, which is clearly a refining god cultivation, and it is definitely not an ordinary "wrestler".
At this moment, the old eunuch was quite enthusiastic, and led Lu Li to sit at the main table:
"I heard that there was a young hero in Jinmen, and today I saw that it was really extraordinary, come on, please sit down."
Lu Li politely bowed his hand and sat down calmly with Xia Weiyun and the three puppets.
Seeing that the three "entourage" were all carrying heavy boxes, Hua Ruoxi smiled even more:
"Our family's "Innate Gong" is true and pure, and it only takes three weeks to call the realm of Gongzi a great success, don't miss the opportunity~"
Lu Li nodded and said, "That's what I'm here for." β
"It's very good, Childe is a bright person at first glance! Wait a minute, start right away. β
Hua Ruoxi took a break and went to another table to socialize.
Xia Weiyun sat aside and reminded:
"This eunuch is the head of the Internal Affairs Office, refining the gods, congenital martial arts, and ranking in the top three masters in the palace."
Lu Li nodded, already knowing in his heart.
Xia Weiyun nodded the guests present with his chin and introduced:
"Most of the people who came today are rich boys. The son of the four compradors, the son of the political envoy...... Even Jiang Haiyan, a little slut, came. β
Sure enough, the people present are all children of wealthy families, all of them are extraordinary, and they all want to spend money to buy repairs.
However, Lu Li was a little puzzled: "Does the governor's daughter also need innate true qi?" Her father and master should give it to her, right? β
Hearing this, Xia Weiyun did not answer directly, but asked rhetorically:
"The tea girl fed you [Nei Xi], what do you think of the effect?"
Lu Li recalled the sweetness of breastfeeding, and couldn't help nodding and said:
"The results are excellent, with a lot of hard work and no side effects."
"You see, the inner breath is so good, and the real qi is ...... But the inner breath condensed into substance, how can anyone be too much! β
Xia Weiyun asked again: "Moreover, the true qi is far more precious than you imagined. Do you know how the 'water cycle' works? β
Lu Li replied: "Is it the water on the ground, which evaporates and dries into clouds and then descends?" β
"That's right." Xia Weiyun said carefully:
"If the human body is compared to a world, then [True Qi] is equivalent to the rain and dew between heaven and earth, whether it nourishes all things or turns into rivers, it will eventually return to the body and grow endlessly.
But if you want to use it, it will really be gone, which will affect the internal circulation and lead to floods and droughts.
Therefore, the strong all pay great attention to their own true qi, don't look at Jiang Haiyan is the concubine of the governor, and he may not have enjoyed the true qi infusion several times. β
said it so thoroughly, Lu Li suddenly became clear:
"I see, no wonder it is said that the key to martial arts lies in the word [raising]."
"That's right!" Xia Weiying smiled and said:
"Your sister and I just do too much with people, or it will be born early......"
As he spoke, Xia Weiyun was afraid that Little Brother Lu would have scruples and lose his courage and perseverance, so he hurriedly added:
"But there are no absolutes, as long as you grasp the 'degree' and use the true qi appropriately, the body can adjust itself."
"Uh-huh."
Lu Li nodded again and again when he listened, and he also felt the love of the eldest sister.
Caring ...... for older women It doesn't seem bad.
At this time, there was a sudden silence in the field.
I saw Hua Ruoxi leave the table and walk to the stage, looking at everyone with a smile, about to enter the theme!
~~~~~~~~~~~
Everyone sat upright, waiting for the old eunuch to speak.
Hua Ruoxi said in a shrill voice:
"This time, our family was ordered by the emperor to come to Jinmen to receive 'ceremonial donations'. You are all big local households, and you hope to contribute to the emperor's worries. β
The eunuch said a clichΓ©, and arched his hand in the direction of the capital.
The sons of several comprador families in the audience mocked in a whisper:
"Ceremonial donation...... At this time, I was still thinking about repairing the grave. β
"It's not unusual, Jia Wu didn't hinder the Queen Mother's birthday."
β¦β¦
And Hua Ruoxi finished the opening remarks in a few words, and immediately went straight to the point:
"Jinmen Diling people, all of them are talented people today, as long as they can share the emperor's worries, our family has its own innate true qi to offer!"
Finally got to the point, and immediately a boy in brocade asked urgently:
"Dare to ask the flower manager, I don't know how much this ceremonial donation needs to donate in order to get a breath of true air?"
"It turned out to be Liang Gongzi of Jardine Matheson."
Hua Ruoxi turned the mutton fat wrench in her hand and said with a smile:
"Our family naturally wants everyone to have benefits, but there is no way to catch it, so we set a number...... If you have paid enough, you will be really angry! β
This is certainly not cheap, and everyone held their breath......
Hua Ruoxi paused, and said sharply: "One thousand taels of gold, the innate true qi is refined for a big week!" β
ββ¦β¦β
There was silence for a while, and then there was an uproar:
"One thousand taels of gold...... Equivalent to 300,000 taels of silver! Crazy? β
"More than that! At present, the international situation is tense, all countries are stockpiling gold, and the price of gold has skyrocketed! β
"The emotional playboy wants to make up the reparations of the Treaty of Shimonoseki by himself!"
Everyone complained that the old eunuch was asking for a sky-high price, but Lu Li was calculating-
I brought 1 ton of gold, which is equivalent to 20,000 taels...... The old eunuch's offer doesn't seem to be expensive.
Of course, even if it is 100 times more expensive, Lu Li will accept it.
For him, it couldn't be more cost-effective to be able to exchange money for strength and time!
In these troubled times, there are people who think the same way.
Liang Gongzi, who was the first to come out, arched his hand and said: "I am willing to recognize the donation of the general manager of flowers, I don't know if it can be settled in silver?" β
Hua Ruoxi turned the sheep fat jade wrench in her hand, and shook her head with a smile:
"I'm sorry, I only accept gold, which is to be used to repair the emperor's tomb."
As soon as these words came out, a group of businessmen including Liang Gongzi were suddenly discouraged.
In addition to the original duty, the gold of the other world is also a cultivation resource, which is really not cost-effective, especially if the family will not support it.
And Lu Li is naturally happy to have fewer competitors.
Just when he was thinking about how he had wrapped up his true qi, he suddenly noticed-
Jiang Haiyan and other children of official eunuchs have always remained unchanged, and things seem to be variable?
Sure enough, Hua Ruoxi suddenly said:
"If you think it's expensive, we still have a workaround, and that is - donate antiques!"
"Antiques?"
Liang Gongzi and others were puzzled.
Everyone knows the truth of "gold in prosperous antiques and troubled times", why is this eunuch still coming in reverse? Do you think the world is not chaotic enough?
And Hua Ruoxi confirmed again:
"That's right, as long as it enters our family's eyes, an antique can be really refined Da Zhoutian! Attention! What we are talking about is refining a big week, and ensuring that the true qi travels through the meridians of the whole body! β
As soon as the words fell, Jiang Haiyan and the others took out a sandalwood box for storing antiques.
