Chapter Forty-Six: The Prayer to Enter the Treasure Pavilion
There are countless treasures in the Treasure Pavilion, and it is enough to take out one at will to make ordinary people sigh with admiration, if it is an ordinary person who says such a big and unashamed word, it will definitely attract the laughter of the people around him, but when Tang Yunlong said this, Jiang Tianshui just smiled and said after hearing it: "Brother Tang, you tell me the truth." Is Tang Xinglong the illegitimate son of your Tang Sect, and now that such a big storm has been stirred, the people on our boat will not have a good time after all. ”
Tang Yunlong frowned slightly when he heard this, he was a little angry and arrogant at a young age, and the powerful aura that swept around him made the people around him who were just about to approach him immediately turn around and scatter left and right.
Seeing that Tang Yunlong didn't say anything, Jiang Tianshui had no choice but to smile and say, "Since this is the case, then our Jiang family has to make some plans in advance." ”
Tang Yunlong still didn't explain or refute, and his mood was as calm as water.
Seeing this, Jiang Tianshui quipped: "Brother Tang, Brother Tang, I really admire you a little." There are many mountains in Tangmen, which can be said to be a wrong step, a wrong step. But if there is any hope that the Tang Sect can compete for the master of the door, which one is not doing everything, what about you, you don't have to do anything all day, except eating and drinking is to study the secret weapons of the Tang Sect, and if something doesn't go well, take a look around. ”
Tang Wuxin replied: "If it weren't for your greed and losing the bet with Murong Di at the beginning, I'm afraid you should be fine now." ”
Jiang Tianshui glanced at the Treasure Pavilion where the two of them finally walked to and said, "Don't talk about it, it's unbearable to look back on the past." Our Jiang family and your Tang family are completely different, your Tang family pays attention to an internal and external balance, our Jiang family pays attention to the momentum, in terms of business, if you can't keep up with the current situation and government politics, I'm afraid it will not be far from being raided. ”
"Then you still make a bet with Murong Di?"
"No, you can't gamble, you know, I just want to make money, and I really don't have much interest in joining the family, I just promised Murong Di that he would never be the head of the Jiang family, but this does not prevent me from taking the Jiang family to the next level."
As soon as Jiang Tianshui's words fell, the two of them invariably looked at the towering Treasure Pavilion.
According to the rules of the Treasure Pavilion, anyone who wants to enter the Pavilion can only enter by means of a prayer post, once the Pavilion is opened, no matter who it is, they are not allowed to enter at will, even the carriage slaves parked at the door are not allowed to appear near the Treasure Pavilion.
Everyone didn't know much about it at first, until there were a few murders and mishaps, which made everyone who entered the Treasure Pavilion understand its intentions.
"The pavilion master has an order, open the pavilion."
With the shouts of the little guy at the door, the two doors four or five feet high were slowly pushed open by more than a dozen strong men with a height of horses.
This is the first door to enter the treasure pavilion, the door is divided into left and right, there is a stone tablet on both sides, the upper side is a stone lion carved with a whole piece of white marble, and there is a cursive script written by the Xishu Book Sanctuary on the door.
"The sun, the moon, the mountains and rivers, the West Shu is majestic."
There are more than 300 large and small rooms in the Treasure Pavilion, which is claimed to correspond to more than 300 states and counties in the world.
Jiang Tianshui sighed and said, "You really don't go to the VIP room with me?" ”
Tang Yunlong said with a smile: "No, your Jiang family is a big family in the auction house every year, and our Tang family is always incomparable." ”
Facing Tang Yunlong, who didn't know whether it was a good word or a joke, Jiang Tianshui always shook his head helplessly.
What Tang Yunlong said is good, in terms of money alone, let alone a Guan Jiangkou, even if it is the entire land of Xishu, I am afraid that there are very few people who can be richer than the Jiang family.
Jiang Tianshui and Tang Yunlong's acquaintance can be regarded as a coincidence, at that time, Jiang Tianshui was wandering in Xishu because of a bet with Murong Di, so he was far away from home. And Tang Yunlong is just a lowly junior of the Tang family, and the two cherish each other at the same table. From then on, the two regarded each other as their right-hand men, Jiang Tianshui gave advice to the two, Tang Yunlong was willing to be a pioneer for the two, and within a few years, the status of the two in each other's family sects was also rising, and the relationship between the two was gradually running-in, not only often meeting to drink together, but also sometimes climbing to a certain high platform to discuss the situation of the world with each other.
Tang Yunlong doesn't read much, and he is not good at words, and people who know him say that Tang Yunlong is more like a mute. Only Jiang Tianshui knew that every time he had three or five glasses of wine, Tang Yunlong would recite poems and paint, but what he chanted and painted was very vulgar.
In recent years, as the status of the two has continued to improve, there are more things to consider, and there have been a few conversations between the two, and they can clearly feel that each other is no longer unscrupulous.
Not long after the two of them entered the Treasure Pavilion, a man and a woman came from outside, and the clothes of the men and women were different from the luxurious clothes of the merchants who entered, and the clothes of the men and women seemed to be simple and simple.
The guard at the gate of the Treasure Pavilion couldn't help but feel a little more arrogant when he saw this, and just when the guard was about to speak, not far away, a carriage galloped in, and the groom was sweating profusely, as if he was very worried about something.
Shen Jin'an looked at the carriage and only signaled Lu Jiangnan to avoid it.
Unexpectedly, he was beaten upside down by the coachman.
"I said that the two of you don't have long eyes, I don't know if our master is going to enter this treasure pavilion." The groom also seemed to be arrogant, and mocked the two of them with noses that were not noses and ears were not ears.
Shen Jin'an didn't take the groom's complaints to heart, the land route at the mouth of the Guanjiang River was narrow, and the coachman should have been reprimanded by his master for delaying some time somewhere.
Seeing that Shen Jin'an didn't reply, the groom seemed to have found an outlet and said, "Look at the shabby appearance of you two, are you embarrassed to come to this kind of place?" It's really a big forest, and there are all kinds of birds. ”
Shen Jin'an naturally had a certain resistance when he saw this kind of dog-fighting thing, but the heroine Lu Jiangnan unconsciously sprung up a nameless fire from her heart, ready to draw her sword out of the sheath, and had a face-to-face cordial exchange with this groom with her actions and words, but was finally stopped by Shen Jin'an.
After the carriage was stable and safe, a middle-aged Confucian student walked down from above, and the red sandalwood pearl on his body made Shen Jin'an recognize it at a glance This should be a certain five-grade official in the Xishu Waterway.
The Xishu waterway is not as good as other places, it is a proper fat difference, not only in charge of the special funds allocated by the imperial court every year for water administration, but also in some places there is a river transportation yamen established to maintain the safety of the waterway, Shen Jin'an just doesn't know what the official position of this middle-aged Confucian is.
Shen Jin'an thought that his subordinates were not sensible, and other masters should take care of things, but what he didn't expect was that this middle-aged Confucian student didn't care about Si Wen's dignity at all, and commanded Shen Jin'an and the others, as if the reason why he came late was because of Shen Jin'an and the two of them.
Although Shen Jin'an didn't know the person in front of him, the little guy at the door of the Treasure Pavilion recognized the middle-aged Confucian student in front of him. This Confucian named Liu An, came to Xishu five years ago, and now serves as the assassin of the Xishu waterway shipping, not only in charge of more than half of the river taxes in Xishu, but also has more than 1,500 people under the waterway yamen, the people in the Xishu officialdom know that Liu An can sit in this position half of the reason is that he is the brother of the second grade of the Ministry of Industry, and the other half is that he relies on his first-hand seal carving skills to win the appreciation of the emperor of the dynasty, if not, Liu An does not dare to speak casually at the mouth of the Guanjiang River.
originally thought that Shen Jin'an would retire again and again when he saw this, but he didn't see the scene in his heart, and Shen Jin'an just watched this important member of the Wupin Waterway standing there and spitting stars flying around, and he also laughed at it.
"This little brother, we came first, can you let us go first?" Shen Jin'an said to the little guy at the door with a smile.
The little guy at the door was busy currying favor with Liu An, but he didn't have a good face for Shen Jin'an and said, "Why are you in a hurry?" Didn't you see that Lord Liu hadn't come up yet? ”
"You!" Lu Jiangnan's already fiery temper made the little guy so angry, and he immediately wanted to rush up and slap him with two big mouths, but Shen Jinan didn't care at all.
"It's not that you can enter casually if you come early, the most important thing is to have a worship post, to be able to enter the treasure pavilion, not only the bottom line is to have 100,000 taels of silver, but also to have a proof of status." The little guy took Liu An's greeting post and showed off to Shen Jin'an: "You don't have a post, even if you wait until it gets dark, you may not be able to..."
Listening to the show-off of the little guy at the door, Liu An on the side was also a little proud inadvertently, but he didn't finish listening to it but found that the little guy at the door was stupid, and the curious Liu An looked at the little guy in the eyes, but he was also taken aback.
Shen Jin'an took out a purple handkerchief from his arms.
This man even has a prayer post? Purple handkerchiefs are generally symbolic gifts, but they have no real status, presumably this young man's ancestors were also once beautiful.
Although the purple handkerchief has been seen a few times by the little guy at the door, although it is rare, it is not nothing, but it is really not seen a few times to wrap things in the purple handkerchief given by the Treasure Pavilion.
As the purple handkerchief slowly opened, a ring was revealed. The ring is golden all over the body, and there is a golden dragon on the ring, and the five claws of the golden dragon are folded downward, vaguely revealing a momentum of dominating the world.
Since ancient times, the golden dragon has only been available to the royal family, and the five-clawed golden dragon cannot be matched by the non-royal family.
Who is this person in front of you?
Liu An watched Shen Jin'an throw the ring into the hand of the little guy at the door like a toy and said, "I remember that you can enter and exit with this." ”
The little guy swallowed his saliva and nodded slightly, that's right, this is a token that only top dignitaries can use, compared to it, Liu An's greeting post is not even worthy of being the paper that wraps it.
At this moment, even if Liu An is an idiot, he knows what kind of character he just collided with.
"But... OK. The little guy standing at the door said tremblingly.
Shen Jin'an said to Lu Jiangnan: "Let's go." ”
After Shen Jin'an and the two walked in slowly, Liu An also fell to his knees with a thud, as if the backbone of his whole body had been sucked away, and he no longer had any interest in entering this treasure pavilion.
Lu Jiangnan hadn't walked a few steps before he heard a burst of angry scolding behind him.
"You coachman have caught me in injustice!"
"Old .. Sir, I didn't know it was..."
"Get out! Get out of here! ”
