9 Heavenly Birthday Gift
Xu Mao was on the city tower, looking at the white clouds in the sky boringly, racking his brains to think about a question.
He pulled a soldier and asked, "Hey boy, look at that cloud, does it look like a nine-tailed phoenix?" ”
The little soldier looked along: "Where is it like?" How do I look like a bald-tailed chicken? ”
"Fuck you, will you speak......" Xu Mao slapped the back of Xiao Bing's head fiercely, and looked at it again, "Will it be more like a pearl?" ……”
Xiao Bing rubbed the back of his head: "Lord Xu, isn't Mrs. Xu going to have a birthday?" Do you give Zhang Luo a gift? ”
"Sigh-" Xu Mao spat on the ground: "That yellow-faced woman is also worthy of Lao Tzu to send something?" ”
"Is it the old lady?"
"Then it doesn't have to be so expensive! Like you said, can't I slaughter a bald-tailed chicken and send it? ”
"Huh?!"
Looking at the stupid appearance of the little soldier, Xu Mao rolled his eyes angrily: "It's the Liu Concubine of King Qi!" It's her old man's eighteenth birthday next month! ”
Xiaobing was even more puzzled: "Why is it called 'old man'?" And Princess Qi doesn't seem to be surnamed Liu, right? ……”
"Hey, why do you have so many questions, kid? The concubine is just a top name? When did King Qi take her as a concubine? Let me tell you, whoever the king of Qi favors, who is the princess! ”
The little soldier dead duck has a hard mouth:
"But who knows who His Royal Highness King Qi will like next month? As far as I know, the concubines who have been favored by King Qi have the surnames Zhao, Qian, Sun, and Li, what if this Concubine Liu falls out of favor next month? ”
"Haha, you kid is a bit of a brain!" Xu Mao laughed: "Not this time, it's been more than half a year!" They all threatened to abolish the current princess! ”
"But didn't Princess Qi marry when Emperor Taizu was there? Can this also be scrapped? ”
"Hey kid, don't you understand what Lao Tzu said earlier? On the boundary of Qingzhou, even the holy decree has to be lined up in the back! His Royal Highness King Qi's words are better than the Holy Decree! ……”
As he was talking, there was a sudden noise below:
"What's going on next?" Because he couldn't choose a suitable gift, Xu Mao was furious, leaning down and shouting.
"This official master, please make it convenient and open another city gate!"
Below is a group of burly men driving and pulling large bags and small bags, and the leader is arching, looking up and shouting to Xu Mao.
They were pulling so many things, and the procession was long, and the gates were only half open, and the largest carriage could not pass.
Not only that, but the inspection is also extremely time-consuming, and many people on the road can't help but complain that they are in the way.
The king of Qi has instructed that suspicious people are strictly forbidden to enter and leave Qingzhou, and the passing merchants must be carefully investigated, but this team of people will take half a day.
"What a rush!" Xu Mao went downstairs in person and glared angrily at the grumbling passers-by.
Everyone didn't dare to touch his moldy head, so they had to wait in line quietly.
"This poor master, we are a dart master from Dengzhou Mansion, entrusted with the 80th birthday gift for the old Fengjun of the guest's hometown in Juzhou. Please also ask all the poor masters to make it convenient, this idea of money, just treat everyone to eat and drink......"
The dart head pulled Xu Mao and handed over a bulging bag of things.
Xu Mao put it in his sleeve without hesitation:
"It's easy to say, the old man's birthday, why can't he delay others, right?
However, the king of Qi ordered that all vehicles and goods should be opened and inspected to prevent thieves from mixing into the peaceful boundary of Qingzhou.
Come to think of it, isn't that difficult? Xu Mao bared out a mouthful of yellow teeth, and the mouse's eyes were even smaller into mung beans.
"It's all cloth, native products and other things, and the poor master can rest assured that he will check it!" After the dart head finished speaking, he waved his big hand and let the dart masters take the initiative to open the box and wait for inspection.
Xu Mao's people came forward to inspect with ease, and because they received benefits this time, they didn't mess with other people's things.
"What is this? Hurry up and open it! A soldier impatiently urged a dart master who was unloading the rope down.
The dart head opened his mouth and explained: "Don't blame the poor master, this is the biggest and most valuable birthday gift for the old Fengjun, it is an arhat bed, and it takes some effort to load and unload......
"Huh," Xu Mao snorted disdainfully, "It's just a bed, how much else can it be worth...... Go to ......"
His voice finally drowned in his throat.
The Arhat bed in front of me is really expensive at first glance......
The four-legged feet used to support the box-shaped couch are turned inward at the bottom, like a horse's hoof;
The left, right, and back are all surrounded by thick solid wood boards, inlaid with various agate, luodian, and ivory carvings...... Almost blinded;
Not only that, the carved grass pattern of the standing phoenix on the hoarding is also lifelike, with gorgeous ornaments, like a phoenix with gold and stone enamel merging into a green feather.
What's even better is that this Luohan bed is not only beautiful, but also standing far away, you can smell a faint fragrance, which will help you sleep.
Xu Mao stumbled and pointed to the boxes packed with the bed and asked, "What are these?" ”
Dart Head explains:
"Oh, these are all small things that go with this Luohan bed, what a kang table, a chessboard, an ancient book or something...... It's all collected by the owner to relieve the old lady's boredom!
There's also a box of citrons, which is a kind of fruit that smells like it! ”
"Xiangyuan? Does it smell good? ......" Xu Mao Nahan's mouth.
The dart head also shrugged his shoulders in disunderstanding: "Who knows, the tone of the rich!" We don't understand it. ”
"Obediently~ How much silver does the gem inlaid on it cost......" Xu Mao touched the bed and sniffed deeply in fascination, this is all the smell of money!
"Hehe, the poor master is wrong, the gem is just a dead thing, this wood, but it is really worth a thousand gold!"
"Oh? What do you mean by that? ”
"This wood is one of the three national treasures of the Ava country, what is it called...... Oh, Golden Camphor! ”
Hearing the words of the dart, Xu Mao suddenly realized, it is true!
I only looked at the gems set on it, and I didn't notice that the bed was shining with golden light.
When I touched it, I realized that it was the color of wood; With the water ripples, the gold wire seems to be about to rise layer by layer.
It's a yellow wood, but it seems to make people's eyes red...... Lying on it and dreaming, I'm afraid that the dream will be a scene of gold rain! Not to mention Lin Xing's beauty......
If you take this Arhat bed to send Concubine Liu, why don't you worry about being blown by the pillow wind in the ears of His Royal Highness King Qi? ……
Xu Mao touched the bed while thinking about it and smirked.
"Bad master, poor master......" The dart head shouted many times one after another, but Xu Mao did not respond.
"Head!" In the end, it was the little soldier who was talking to Xu Mao at the beginning who shouted loudly, and only then did he pull back Xu Mao, who didn't know where to go.
"This poor master, after the inspection, we should also go, right?"
"Ahem! It's nature, it's nature. Xu Mao wiped the non-existent saliva at the corner of his mouth and said with a smile.
casually lowered his eyes, and saw a thick layer of soil on the shoes of the dusty dart head-
His two almost integrated eyebrows were directly knotted, like an earthworm knotted on a rainy day:
"This dart head brother, you bodyguards should earn a lot of money, why do you still wear this kind of rough leather worn by ordinary people, merchants, infantry soldiers, and Yu Dingcai? You darts walkers, better protect your feet! ”
For some reason, the dart head smiled a little faintly:
"The poor master laughed, what are I waiting for if I am not a common person? How dare you trespass? Besides, only the feet know whether the shoes are suitable or not, so don't bother with it. ”
Xu Mao scolded in his heart, "The dog bites Lu Dongbin", and I will wait, who will "you wait" with you? It's just that, people have to stick to the "ritual system"? What's the matter with you?
After tonight, I won't have the money to buy shoes......
Until he sent the people away, Xu Mao still stared at the back of the group of people with a smile.
"Head, what are you laughing at?" The soldier scratched his head, not knowing why.
"Hehe, what do you kid know? What a birthday gift! ”
"yes!" The little soldier also nodded like pounding garlic: "Blessed is the old feudal monarch of the people!" What a bed! ”
"Isn't it~"
