Volume 1 Wisdom Fighting the Capital Chapter 53, there seems to be nothing
December 15 of the 70th year of the Great Qiankang Dynasty, before the time, Tianbao Pavilion of Chang'an City.
After Xu Wuzhi came out of the prison of the Criminal Department, he has always been fine, except for going to the household department. For a few days, he, Hu Yiyi, and Shu Hattian bought some steamed buns, and would also go to the south of the city to give alms in person. At this time, after receiving the silver from the household department, Zhong Xingming, the young man of Jingzhao, was also very dedicated to disaster relief. Zhong Xingming personally led his subordinates to open four porridge fields inside and outside the city gate in the south of Chang'an City, and the porridge was served non-stop every morning and evening. After Xu Wuxi, Hu and Shu checked it in person, they all felt that the rice porridge was quite thick, and the steamed buns were also made of white flour......
On this day, Xu Wuxian had nothing to do, so he thought about going to Tianbao Pavilion to raise some silver taels from the Lord of Murong Shaoge. After the half-understood book fairy Shu hated the sky and learned about it, he was worried that the road ahead would be dangerous, and he would definitely go with him.
At this time, Xu Wuxian and Shu Hattian were sitting in the front hall of Murong Mansion, and after a while, an old man with a lofty spirit came out of the back hall. I saw that the old man was over fifty years old, with a slender figure, high cheekbones, two eyebrows like swords, and powerful eyes. On a cold day, he just wore a dark robe with a thin jacket underneath, although he was just dressed as an ordinary rich man, but wearing it on his body, it naturally gave birth to a king's majesty......
Before the person arrived, the hearty voice of the old man in the black shirt came from afar:
"I still don't believe it after reading the prayer post, it's really Lao Shu! What kind of wind is blowing today, it actually blows you......"
Shu Hattian glanced at Xu Wuxian, the two of them hurriedly got up, and they all bowed their hands, and the Shuxian also said loudly: "Lord Murong Pavilion...... In the past, when the Tianshan Mountains were parted, it would be ten years in a flash! Lord Murong Pavilion ...... Is this alright?"
The old man in the dark robe was naturally Murong Yuanshan, the chief pavilion master of the Tianbao Pavilion. He was followed by his eldest son, Murong Ming, the young master of the Heavenly Treasure Pavilion. The two sat on the main seat in turn, the attendant served the tea cup, and after Murong Yuanshan took a little of the dragon well, he raised his hand to signal everyone to take a seat, and Fang Xu said:
"Ahem...... It's always been good...... It's just that it's old......"
Shu Haotian said with a smile: "The pavilion master is prosperous in the Spring and Autumn Period, how can he say the word 'old'?...... If you want to say that the old is also Shu, ......"
Murong Yuanshan also smiled: "You old Shu...... But it won't get old...... You have a white beard, but the older you get, the more delicate you become......"
The two exchanged a few words of greeting, and Shu Hattian pointed at Xu Wuxian and said to Murong Yuanshan:
"Lord Murong Pavilion, Rong Shu introduced you to ...... This is Xu Gongzi, who is now in the household department of Daqian, and is an experience official of the seventh grade......"
Xu Wuxi hurriedly got up and bowed to the two people opposite:
"In Xia Xu, I have no illness, I have seen the Lord of Murong Pavilion and the Prince of Murong!"
Murong Miao, who was on the other side, also got up to salute Wu Xian, and bowed to Shu Hatian to see the elders......
Shu hattian saw that Murong Yuanshan Gu Zi was holding the bowl of Longjing tea from Hangzhou and sipping it slowly, his expression was a little disapproving, and his heart moved, so he added another sentence, only to hear Shuxian say loudly: "Young Master Xu...... Or the eldest disciple of Shangguan Yu of the Shushan Sword Immortal......"
At this moment, Murong Yuanshan was moved, he couldn't help but put down the teacup in his hand, carefully looked Xu Wuxi up and down, and said:
"Xu Gongzi is actually the descendant of the Sword Immortal, and he is old and disrespectful...... Disrespectful!"
Xu Wuxian couldn't help but feel embarrassed, he secretly thought to himself: "That day at the Taihu Lake Demon Hunting Conference, my third brother Qin Gufeng said that I and he were both from the Shushan Gate, which was just a joke, and later he had already explained to me in the boat that he didn't know any sword immortals at all...... I didn't want my third brother's joke, but I was listened to by Shuxian, I really didn't expect that on this occasion today, Shuxian would tell that matter in public...... "Wuxian thought that if he knew this, he should tell Shuxian the ins and outs of this matter as soon as possible." Now, I don't want to explain but I don't know how to talk about it, and I don't recognize it at the moment, so I have to bite the bullet and whisper a few words: "How dare you...... How dare you ......?"
Murong Meng said:
"Daddy, I heard that Xu Gongzi is still a 'Demon Hunting Alliance Master'...... There are a lot of talented people in his 'Monster Hunting League'...... I can even know about the small matter of my fourth brother being injured while practicing......"
"Demon Hunt Alliance Leader?......" Murong Yuanshan repeated unconsciously, his face couldn't help but show a suspicious look, he said in his heart that there is obviously a rat demon sitting next to you Xu Wuxi, and he is still a big demon, now, what kind of "Demon Hunting Alliance Leader" are you still on! What kind of demon are you catching? What is this all about?......
Shu hattian originally wanted to praise Xu Wuxi, so as to strengthen his momentum, so as not to speak too weightlessly when he Xu Wuxian borrowed money. At this moment, when he heard that Murong Meng actually helped blow it, Shuxian's heart became a little embarrassed. Moreover, Shuxian also knew that what he Murong Miao was touting was nothing more than a joke in his father's heart......
Shu Haotian had nothing to say in his heart, but Xu Wuxian hugged his fists and said: "This time, I heard that Murong Xiaogongzi is in poor health, so I specially brought some healing and nourishing medicinal materials under it, and I was a little thoughtful...... "After that, Wuzhi took out some medicinal materials from his bag, all of which were tiger bones, safflower, cistanche, cinnamon, yellow essence, ginseng, etc., and handed them over to the attendants on the side......
Murong Meng clenched his fists and replied: "Xu Gongzi has thanked his brother for his kindness next......
Xu Wuxian saw that Murong Ming, as the young master of Tianbao Pavilion, was not only elegant and graceful, but he could also be so polite and humble, and he couldn't help but feel a lot of good feelings in his heart, so he also said a few kind words in a row......
At this time, Murong Yuanshan asked:
"Xu Gongzi is not only the high-foot of Shangguan Sword Immortal, but also has this ...... 'Demon Hunting Alliance Leader', since he has a career in the rivers and lakes, why are you still an official in the imperial court? I heard that you are a ...... of the household department."
"The household experience, the rank is from the seventh grade...... However, speaking of which, Xu Gongzi is still a student of Master Shangshuqiu of the household department, Daddy ......" Murong Luo, who was sitting at the bottom, hurriedly replied.
Murong Yuanshan didn't find it interesting in his heart, he watched coldly, but secretly said in his heart: "The first disciple of Shushan Sword Immortal Shangguan Yu would be willing to be an eagle dog of the imperial court, or just a last official from the seventh rank? At that time, I competed with Ye Changfeng, the master of the Tianshan Sword Gate, and the two of us fought for three hours. But I was eager to win at that time, and my luck was too hasty, and my breath went wrong for a while, and if I fought for two more hours, I would definitely lose. At that time, it was you who half-understood the book fairy and said some kind words, so that we could end the two sides and draw each other, on the surface you were complimenting the head master of the Tianshan Sword Gate, but secretly I accepted the favor of you as a boss...... Now, when you come to my house, you are so honest and full of big words, and I will see what your intentions are......"
At this time, Xu Wuxi got up and said:
"Lord Murong Pavilion, I have a position as the secretary of the Ministry of Household Affairs in the next place, and what I am in charge of on a daily basis is the money and silver of my Daqian treasury. Today, I came to your mansion with the old man of the book fairy, in addition to bringing some healing and nourishing things to Ling Lang, there is also a reluctant request in my heart......
Murong Yuanshan raised his eyebrows slightly, and said, "Young Master Xu, please say ......"
Xu Wuxian stood up, clasped his hands into fists, and said eloquently:
"Today, I am in Shandong, Shannan, Huaiyang, Huainan, four provinces and sixteen prefectures, and the drought has become a disaster, and the victims have reached more than one million. The land of Shandong and Lianghuai is already full of hungry people and starving people. It is reported that some of the disaster-stricken areas have already experienced such tragic situations as 'changing children and eating' and 'buying and selling human flesh'. Although the emperor has decreed that all the silver in the country's inventory should be used to buy all the grain for disaster relief, the magnitude of this disaster is really unseen in a century! And the silver in the treasury is less than 700,000 taels, which is far from meeting the needs of disaster relief...... Today, the disaster cannot wait for a day, but the disaster relief has not seen money and food for a long time...... If the lord of Murong Pavilion of Murong Pavilion, who has been disease-free for a long time, is benevolent and virtuous, and acts of high righteousness, if he can generously donate money and food at this time when the country is in danger, help the imperial court to solve the urgent need for disaster relief, and save the victims from the suffering of upside down, so that the people of the world will be admired by all the people of the world......"
Murong Yuanshan pondered for a long time after hearing this...... Although Xu Wuxi's imperial words and grandiose remarks are irrefutable, it is almost impossible to impress Murong Yuanshan with just these few words and make him obediently take out the silver taels.
However, Murong Yuanshan was still moved, but it was not the high hat that Xu Wuxi carried out, which "made everyone in the world admire", nor the emergency disaster of "starving people everywhere and starving to death", it was exactly Xu Wuxi's own appearance.
What Murong Yuanshan is most proud of is not his martial arts that stands alone in the world, but the art of his lifelong study. At this time, the old pavilion master observed Xu Wuxian for a long time, he saw that he was disease-free, his eyebrows and eyebrows, and his gestures were all dragon and phoenix, heaven and man's appearance, and he couldn't help but secretly marvel in his heart for a long time, and then said:
"According to Xu Gongzi's meaning, how many silver taels should the old man donate?"
"One million taels of silver!" Xu Wuxian didn't think about it, secretly turned his heart sideways, and blurted out.
Shu Haotian, who was sitting on the head of the disease-free head, heard this, and with a "sudden" sound in his heart, he almost fell off the chair, and the sip of Longjing tea he had just drunk in his mouth also spit out in the tea bowl with a "poof". He said in his heart, did you Xu Wuxian start a silver mine at home? Your household still owes 1 million taels to others, and at this time, you are still licking your face and asking others for another 1 million taels of silver, 1 million taels -- you can actually say it! Your experience in this household is really ...... One word...... Cow, it's better than Tobe Shangshu!
Murong Ming, who was sitting at the bottom, also felt that what Xu Wuxian said was too whimsical, and he was about to refute his words, but his father raised his hand to stop him, only to hear the old pavilion master say gently:
"What Xu Gongzi said, the old man wrote it down...... Let's let the old man think about it for a few days, and then reply to you, okay?"
Xu Wuxian hurriedly bowed his hand and said, "In this way, thank you to the Lord of Murong Pavilion if you are not sick......"
This time, it was the turn of the half-solved book immortal Shu Hatian couldn't see through it, and he said in his heart In the past, I just moved my mouth on the "Tianshan Sword Fight", can you Murong Yuanshan repay me such a big favor...... Impossible!
However, having said this, the words between the guests and the host had already been exhausted, and Shu Hattian and Xu Wuxian got up to say goodbye, and Murong Yuanshan asked his son Murong Meng to see him off......
The three of them walked out of the main hall and walked through the corridor, Xu Wuxian asked Murong Meng about Murong Ji's injury, Murong Meng only said "He is fine", but he didn't say a word about the reason for his fourth brother's injury, but said a lot of words in a row, "Thank you for your thoughts" and "His brother will definitely come to the door to return the gift".
Walking through the road, it was the front yard and the gatehouse, under Xu Wuxi's insistence, Murong Miao had to stop in the front yard, and the two sides said a few polite words, and then they said goodbye......
Xu Wuxian has been going all the way, but he is also turning back all the way, the reason is needless to say, he is longing for the figure that is always in his heart to dream, and he can appear at this moment......
Seeing that he had already left the gatehouse, he looked at the pavilions and deep courtyards in the gate without illness, and looked at it a few times, but the fluttering figure still did not appear......
While being disappointed, he heard Shu Haotian laughing beside him:
"Don't look at it! Your precious son-in-law hasn't come to the door yet, and it's a million taels of dowry! It's strange if you don't frighten people! The little girl has already been scared by you and fled...... Hahaha!"
......
"Ahem...... Hey......" Xu Wuxi sighed several times in a row, with a look of amazement, which was almost like the chic way he had just talked in the front hall of Murong Mansion.
"I came here and there, looking for a lot of reasons, and I almost believed that I was here to raise money for disaster relief...... But until this moment, I have to believe that I just want to come...... Look at you...... What Tianbao Pavilion, the three pavilions in the world, hum! Even if it is a great place in the world, if there is no you...... I'm here to ?!...... much," Xu Wuxian thought in his heart, and couldn't help but let out a long sigh......
Shu hattian patted Xu Wuxian's shoulder and said, "Okay, okay! My disease-free brother, don't sigh...... Tonight, the old brother will go to get an eighty-year-old Fenyang drunk, a good wine that even the emperor can't drink, and he will rest with you when he gets drunk...... Besides, there is no grass at the end of the world...... Let's go to Hazelly and have a drink!"
......
At this time, Xu Wuxian didn't want to say a word, he just walked with his head down, feeling stunned in his heart......
Seeing that he was indifferent and depressed, he walked forward, and Shu Hattian felt bored in his heart, so he had to follow him silently. The two of them walked out of the gate of Tianbao Pavilion, and after walking dozens of steps south, they suddenly heard someone shouting behind them:
Xu ...... Experience ......"
