Chapter 140: Jade Bracelet

In the tiger gate, because Xiang Wentian hit Zhao Keran's arrogance hard. For Guan Dadong, this is the best advertisement to promote the prestige of Humen. Guan Dadong decided to set up a banquet to entertain Xiang Wentian, and by the way, he called Mei Ruoxue to get together.

At the banquet, Gao Fengyun sat next to Xiang Wentian, and Mei Ruoxue sat opposite them. There are also Ding Shida and Ding Shi two protectors around.

"Today is really a good day, I would like to toast everyone. As he spoke, Guan Dadong raised his wine glass and drank it all, "It has been thirty years since Humen was established. Although the sect is still very young, and its reputation in the rivers and lakes is not as world-famous as that of North Shaolin and South Wudang, so it is often belittled as a third-rate sect by other sects, but in the competition field of the change of the leader of the martial arts alliance in this session, Zhao Keran, who fought the deputy master with his own strength, was seriously injured. Since then, Humen can be as famous as Shao * in the rivers and lakes, which is really a great pleasure. ”

"Thanks to the praise of the door master, I just taught the man who didn't know the height of the sky at the behest of the door master. If there is something outstanding, it all depends on the teachings of the master. Xiang Wentian replied.

"Xiang is too modest to the deputy master, this door has this hero with both ability and political integrity, and there is really a successor. Guan Dadong turned to the front and announced, "Although the master of this sect is in a high position, his martial arts are not as good as Guo Yitian, the master of the Dragon Gate, so I want to let the master of the sect be located in Xiang Wentian, what do you think?"

The people present were silent, and asked Wentian to say goodbye for a while. Gao Fengyun defended him and said: "The martial arts of the master of the sect are unparalleled in the world, how can he not be able to defeat a mere Guo Yitian? My cousin likes to be quiet and does not like to move, he is silent, and he is not suitable to lead the brothers of Humen to forge ahead together." ”

"Xiang Daxia, I want to hear a few words from you. Guan Dadong asked.

"I agree with what my cousin said, and let it be as she says. Xiang Wentian echoed Gao Fengyundao.

"Huh...... It's time for Xiang Daxia to change his name to the lady. Guan Dadong pulled the red line for the two of them.

Gao Fengyun was so ashamed that his face was red. Xiang Wentian was suddenly slightly drunk, and his face was slightly red.

"Since Xiang Daxia insists on refusing to sit in the position of the master of this door, then I will not be strong. Xiang Deputy Door Master and Gao Fengyun are really talented men and women, and I can see that the two are in love. Now I am the master of the sect, and the master of this sect ordered the deputy master to make a marriage contract with Gao Fengyun today. After that, choose a good day and hold a grand wedding, I don't know what the two of you think?" Guan Dadong acted as a matchmaker, and his words were conclusive.

"Okay, I agree. Gao Fengyun said first.

Xiang Wentian was still hesitating, after all, the bloody case of Wang Xiaolong's family had not yet been resolved, so he chose to remain silent. Gao Fengyun pushed Xiang Wentian a few times with his jade arm, and whispered, "Cousin, agree." Xiang Wentian didn't say a word for a long time, and his eyes became soft and hot.

"Since there is no objection to the deputy master, it means that he agrees to this family business. Guan Dadong affirmed.

There was a burst of cheers from the disciples below the banquet, celebrating the engagement of Xiang Wentian and Gao Fengyun.

"Now that the two of you have made a family appointment, you can express your thoughts to the deputy door master and Gao Fengyun. Guan Dadong invited.

"Well, I don't have any feelings, but after getting engaged, my heart is much more steady, and I no longer suffer from gains and losses. Gao Fengyun said.

"I am very grateful to the owner for saving my cousin and giving her a safe home. Today, the master of the door promised us a marriage contract, in fact, I have liked my cousin for a long time, and now I finally got my wish and made a marriage contract with my cousin. It was a new beginning in my life and the happiest day I ever had. As for the Dharma protectors and disciples in the door, they were offended by asking the heavens before, and they also asked Haihan. From now on, I will treat the Dharma protectors and disciples of Humen as if they were brothers. Xiang Wentian stood up with a radiant look and thanked everyone present.

Mei Ruoxue on the opposite side had an ominous premonition, that is, Guan Dadong wanted to buy people's hearts and work for him.

The two Ding brothers were talking to each other and whispering about the engagement ceremony.

Guan Dadong showed a slight smile and said: "Xiang Deputy Sect Master is really bold and bold! Other people's criticism is a trivial matter, and the most important thing is to have fun in time......

At the banquet, everyone drank and talked happily.

Mei Ruoxue took the opportunity to leave Humen on the grounds of the thatched house.

On the streets of Suzhou, where people come and go, Mei Ruoxue walked back with a frost sword. When passing by the Boxer Tavern, Mei Ruoxue saw Guo Yitian explain a few words to the bandit San when he was leaving.

"You've worked hard to take care of the tavern these days, and I'll give you a corresponding reward when the paycheck is paid next month. Do it well!" Guo Yitian thanked.

"Thank you for looking up to me, I will definitely do better and hand over a satisfactory answer to the doorman. Bandit Three responded.

After speaking, Guo Yitian turned around and left. Mei Ruoxue has been quietly following behind, not wanting to be discovered by Guo Yitian to see what he is going to do.

Guo Yitian came to the gate of the county mansion, and did not enter from the main gate openly, but came to the wall courtyard on the side and jumped into the courtyard. Mei Ruoxue was a little puzzled: What is this Guo Yitian sneaky going to do?

Following all the way, Mei Ruoxue found Guo Yitian stopped outside Li Xiangru's bedroom. Guo Yitian poked a hole in the window paper with his fingers, and then asked outside for information.

There were only three people in the bedroom: Li Xiangru, Governor Zhang, and Master Li.

"Li County Ling, I heard that you are an expert in treasure appreciation. Now I have a jade bracelet for you to admire and see if it is genuine?" said Governor Zhang, who took out a turquoise bracelet from his cuff.

"What Governor Zhang said, your treasure doesn't need to be identified, and the lower officials will know that it is genuine. As for the price, the lower officials can only give it after a careful observation. After Li Xiangru took the bracelet, he carefully checked its grade, and unconsciously praised, "After being firm in the lower officials, this jade bracelet has a natural color, without any flaws, delicate texture, smooth surface, and a crisp and pleasant sound when gently beaten, which is really the top grade in the jade bracelet." ”

"Li Xianling has a good eye, this is a bracelet given by the emperor. What price does Li County Ling think this jade bracelet should be worth?" Governor Zhang asked.

Master Li looked at the jewels given by the emperor and unconsciously felt moved. Everyone has a love for beauty, and who doesn't want to look jeweled with jewelry?

"Since it is a jewel given by the emperor, it must be worth a fortune. As for the price, the lower officials dare not make a conclusion, it must be priceless. Li Xiangru said cautiously.

"Since there is a market for price, there must be a lot of people who want it. Governor Zhang reasoned.

"Of course!" affirmed Mr. Lee.

"This is the bracelet worn by the noble concubine Yang Yi, and it is worth 10,000 taels of silver, to say the least. I heard that Li County's orders have always been generous, so I should be a favor and sell this bracelet for 9,000 taels to Li County?" Governor Zhang asked.

"I can't do it, I can't do it, this bracelet is too valuable, and the lower officials don't dare to collect it. Li Xianling broke out in a cold sweat and hurriedly refused.

"Don't dislike the bracelet given by the emperor, isn't it worth the price?" said Governor Zhang tentatively.

"It's worth the price! It's just that Xia Guan has been shy lately, and he can't afford to buy this bracelet with nine thousand taels of silver. Li Xianling said with an embarrassed face.

"Well, since Li Xianling can't afford to buy it, it means that you are a good and honest official. This official is not embarrassed for you, this bracelet was originally given by the emperor. This official also wants to give it to Li County Commander to show the deep friendship between us. Governor Zhang struck the west and said, "Hey, don't do it in vain, you don't need to spend money to buy it anyway." ”

Li Xianling's eyes were stunned for a moment, and he looked straight at the jade bracelet in his hand.

Master Li was not happy, and said openly and honestly: "This is not appropriate, you can't test friendship with money, just like Li Xianling can't afford this bracelet." Wearing a beautiful bracelet requires the slender arms of a beautiful woman, and this bracelet is too cheap for him, so it is better to forget it for me. Besides, with my relationship with Master Zhang, I have been in love for half a lifetime. ”

Li County Commander hurriedly returned the bracelet to Governor Zhang. Master Li took the initiative to stretch out his left arm. The heroism in Governor Zhang's eyes was compelling, and he cooperated to put the bracelet on Master Li's jade arm. Li Xianling praised on the side: "The Buddha relies on gold, and Master Li looks even more gentle and virtuous when he wears this bracelet." ”

Saying that, the three of them laughed happily, and they were happy.

Guo Yitian, who was outside the door, saw Master Li talking happily in the county mansion, took a few steps back, jumped up and jumped onto the roof and left. Mei Ruoxue followed closely behind, wanting to see what Guo Yitian wanted to do.

The result surprised her, Guo Yitian just ran to the Fengjiang River. After passing a long and winding forest path, Guo Yitian suddenly noticed that someone was following behind him, and shouted: "Who is following behind?

Mei Ruoxue knew that her whereabouts had been discovered by Guo Yitian, so she had to jump out from behind the tree trunk on the side. This can't blame Mei Ruoxue for being careless, it can only show that Guo Yitian's insight is extraordinary.

"Why are you?" Guo Yitian said in surprise.

"Otherwise, who do you think it is?" asked Mei Ruoxue rhetorically.

"Ruoxue, you've been following me for a long time. Why do you want to hide and hide, and refuse to come out with you in the open?" Guo Yitian wondered.

"This is also what I want to ask, what are you sneaking into the county mansion for?" Mei Ruoxue said unrelentingly.

"I just want to see if Lee Sang-ru is discussing an increase in taxes and miscellaneous taxes, and whether it will have a bad impact on our Longmen. Guo Yitian argued.

"Liar! You must know that the wall has ears, I'm afraid you went to the county magistrate's mansion because of this, right? It's because of Master Li!" Mei Ruoxue hit the nail on the head.

“...... Yes, I did it out of her ...... 's safety care is the only way to make this decision. Guo Yitian said.

"It's not practical to speak, you're just afraid that your teacher will be robbed. said what an ordinary friend is, but it is hugging and hugging behind his back, which is reminiscent of Pianpiao. If you like her, just say it, how uncomfortable it is to hide it in your heart. Mei Ruoxue knocked over the vinegar jar, and it was so sour that people's teeth were about to fall out.
