Chapter 378: Borrowing Flowers to Offer Buddha
Wu Youxian and Cheng Bi both wanted to use Gan Jinghe's influence on Jiangshanmen to win the orthodox status and develop and grow in a proper name.
It was easy to let them dispatch dozens or hundreds of people to guard Zhuangzi. Benefit without expense, both sides are willing to do it.
If you really want to invest 18 million to do business in a partnership, not only will Wu Youxian not be the master of the Presbyterian Church, but it is impossible for Cheng Bi not to consider it.
Ming Qin designed a share of three, three and four, Wu Youxian and Cheng Bi each accounted for 30 percent, and Gan Jinghe accounted for 4 percent. But in practice, Gan Wanhe's forty percent of the funds also need to be advanced by them. That's not a small number.
After some discussion, the two of them died down a little, and Gan and Lotus did not show up, whether this business is not in operation has not yet been decided, if it is just Wu Ying and Ming Qin's idea, it will inevitably fall into evil.
Although the two of them were full of promises, they did not give an accurate answer to the money invested and the number of people selected. After all, opening a dart game is not something that happens overnight. Preparation is required in advance. Mingqin just wants to make things happen because of people, and he doesn't have an in-depth understanding of this industry.
If the contract is signed, Wu Ying needs to appoint a special lawyer to deal with it.
After sending Cheng, Wu and the others away, listening to the lotus building finally calmed down, Ming Qin leaned on the soft chair and drank tea without stopping.
Wu Ying smiled: "Why do I think these two are not too enthusiastic about your plan?"
"Of course. Ming Qin chuckled and said, "Both of them are drunkards, and they don't mean to drink." But in this way, find them something serious to do, and they won't have the time to come to the door to be irritable. β
"I'm afraid that you, the lion, will open his mouth so much that they won't dare to come to the door again?"
Wu Ying has always served as the head of Gan Jinghe, helping to take care of various affairs. Familiar with the operation of business, of course, it can be seen that Mingqin is a profitable business. Let the Council of Elders and Banbi Sect contribute money, and Gan Jinghe sent someone to come forward as the manager, and he made a tripartite account, and there was no loss if he lost it. All they need to do is prepare a contract and make a charter.
Ming Qin disagreed: "This is a good thing for mutual benefit, Elder Wu and Sect Master Cheng have been in the rivers and lakes for a long time. No, I don't have any vision at all. β
Wu Ying shook her head and smiled, took out a stack of files from the briefcase beside her, and carefully checked it.
Mingqin was idle, so he moved to a closer probe to watch.
Wu Ying glanced at him. explained: "This is the account of our Tsing Yi Society. Except for the Phoenix Pavilion of the Great Immortal Gu to make some money, most of the other places are subsidized. β
"Then what kind of business are there besides the Phoenix Pavilion?" asked Ming Qin curiously.
"The second fairy girl likes to do some business with no capital. But she spent money lavishly, and she was quite able to stand on her own. The affairs of the three immortal aunts are relatively complicated, such as investigating your whereabouts over the years, she is in charge. Another example is the food and clothing in this industry. It's all where the money is spent. β
Wu Ying recognized that Qin was the young master of Jiangshanmen, and naturally put his heart in his heart between his words, and explained the income and expenditure of the Tsing Yi Society.
Ming Qin sighed: "In this way, Senior Sister is really the cash cow of our Tsing Yi Society. β
Wu Ying said: "Madame thinks that people in the wind and dust are relatively free of family burden, and it is easy to make a little career. Moreover, this kind of place is mixed with dragons and snakes, and it is very useful to get some useful information. But the Great Fairy Gu also has her difficulties, and Madame has planned to stop meddling in this matter. β
"Really?" Mingqin could vaguely guess a few points when he heard her words be ominous.
Wu Ying said happily: "So this time you want to open a dart game, Madame will be happy when she knows it." In fact, even if Cheng and Wu are unwilling to contribute and do their best, if you really work hard. My wife and I will support you. β
Ming Qin didn't expect that there would be such twists and turns in the middle, and said lightly: "Thank you, Aunt Wu." β
Wu Ying smiled with her lips open, and suddenly felt a little charming. I reached out to take the teacup on the table, but saw that the tea inside had cooled.
"I'll go get you a hot one. β
Mingqin's eyes were quick, and he took the teacup and walked neatly to the water warmer.
Wu Ying was stunned, and when she raised her eyes, she happened to meet Ming Qin and looked back, her eyes couldn't help but be slightly hot, and her face showed a look of nostalgia.
At this time, a Tsing Yi guard hurriedly broke in, and said respectfully: "Chief Qiqi." There were a few female guests outside the village who wanted to see the lady. One of them, who claimed to be surnamed Qin, said that he was a friend of his wife. β
"Surname Qin?"
Wu Yingdai's eyebrows frowned slightly, and she couldn't think of which one it would be for a while.
Ming Qin's heart moved slightly, and he hurriedly said, "Aunt Wu." These people may be my friends. I'll go out and have a look. β
Wu Ying sighed, and then remembered that Ruixian kidnapped a young lady of the Qin family some time ago, and Gan Qianhe placed her in the Phoenix Pavilion and often went over to visit. Wu Ying usually stays in the Furong Garden, but she has never seen her appearance.
"It's fine. Then you can help me come in. β
Ming Qin nodded slightly, and followed the Tsing Yi guards to the outside of the village.
Listen to the lotus building is always three or five hundred steps away from the village gate. Ming Qin asked the Tsing Yi guards a few words in detail, and became more and more sure that it was Mu Qingjue who came from Zhuang.
Turning into the straight road in the garden, across the vermilion village gate, I saw a silver mink car parked outside, and the people in the car also noticed Ming Qin, pushed open the glass window and poked out a pretty face that was happy and disgusting, and beckoned eagerly.
Ming Qin hurried two steps and rushed to the front. He smiled and said, "Master, why are you here." β
"Don't talk about it, get in the car. β
Mu Qingjue snorted lightly and instructed You Mingzhu, who was sitting in the back seat, to open the car door. Ming Qin sat in according to his words, nodded at You Mingzhu, and saw Qin Suhui sitting in the front row, but Tan Ningzi's shadow was missing.
"What about Senior Sister Tan?" asked Ming Qinhu suspiciously.
"Yo, you're pretty sharp-eyed. β
Mu Qingjue said sourly, opened the magic circle and galloped away quickly.
Ming Qin was slightly stunned, and said with a wry smile: "The master came from afar, why can't you enter the door, and Aunt Wu still asked me to welcome you in and sit down?"
Mu Qingjue was unhappy, and his face was silent.
Qin Suhui smiled and said, "It's all because I only vaguely heard your mother say that she lives in this area, and she didn't ask her face to face." It's been a long time to get here, and there's something important that I need your help with. When the matter is done, Qingjie and I will make amends to your mother in person. β
"It doesn't matter. Ming Qin said abruptly: "I'm not a three-year-old child, Aunt Wu knows that I came out with my master, so I shouldn't be too worried." β
Qin Suhui said again: "Mr. Tan is very concerned about Zi'er's whereabouts, and when we left the Phoenix Pavilion that day, we went to visit Mr. Tan's pavilion together. Their father and daughter reunited after a long absence, and Mr. Tan wanted to keep Zi'er by his side, and Qing and I would never disobey him. persuaded Zi'er to stay. β
"I see. β
Ming Qin was slightly stunned, stunned for a while, and then came back to his senses and said, "By the way, what is the urgency for you to find me?"
Mu Qingjue said wistfully: "Today is the sixtieth birthday of my sister-in-law's father, Master You. We don't have anything of value as a birthday gift. Don't you have three treasures from the Divine Light Sect on you? I want you to take out one of them to help your sister-in-law save face. β
Ming Qin smiled dumbly and said, "No problem. Now that the master has opened his mouth. The apprentice naturally obeys. β
Mu Qingjue glanced at him from the mirror of the front curtain, and a faint smile appeared in his eyes.
You Mingzhu hurriedly said: "Qinzhi, thank you so much." Even if I bought this treasure, I will return it to you when I have the money in the future. β
Mu Qing sighed. Dissatisfied: "Sister-in-law, that's not what you told me. β
Ming Qin only regarded it as a polite remark, and he didn't take it very seriously. The three treasures prepared by Fan Xiaoluan were worth different amounts, and the cheapest Qibao knife could also be worth two or three hundred thousand. If You Mingzhu can really afford this price, he can go to the Gu Dong market to pick one at will.
"These three treasures are the Seven Treasure Knife, the Jade Pure Bottle, and the Cornucopia. I don't know which one of you fell in love? or all three of them are going to be used for longevity. β
Mu Qingjie pondered: "Master You is a miser, the Seven Treasure Sword doesn't seem to be suitable for a birthday gift, you can feel free to the other two, or let's take a look at other people's birthday gifts before making a calculation." β
"Makes sense. β
Ming Qin thought about it, You Mingzhu just didn't want to be too shabby in front of his sisters, and he could go with him according to other people's birthday gifts. The jade net bottle and cornucopia add up to more than 1.5 million, which should be enough as a birthday gift.
............
The birthday banquet of You Wangxi, the owner of the Xiaoshui Building, is located in the You family's other business, which happens to be the boundary of Xiangwan County, not too far from Furong Garden.
Xiaoshuilou is in charge of financial resources, and You Wangxi is a famous miser. Even You Mingzhu thought so, so even if Mu Qingjue said this to her face, she didn't feel very embarrassed.
With the prominent position of You Wangxi, this birthday is naturally a congratulatory door. He was also accustomed to dividing the congratulatory guests into numbers according to the number of congratulatory rites, and those below 100,000 had no place, and 500,000 came to the court. One million into the room, the atmosphere is quite grand.
However, since Kuijun succeeded to the throne, he has corrected the extravagance that pervades the immortal court. As a bachelor of Qiyao Mansion, it is not easy to openly rebel, so the programs of blowing, playing, singing, singing and acting have been reduced. This is in line with You Wangxi's intentions, which can save a large amount of expenses, and you can close the door and inspect them one by one when you send away the guests.
When Mu Qingjue and the others arrived at You's house, there were no lights, drums and music, and many greeting guests drove into the manor in ignorance. Turned around, dropped the congratulatory gift, and left in a hurry. It's like I'm afraid that others will see it.
Mu Qingjue found a place for the silver sable cart to stop, and You Mingzhu picked up the spirit rhinoceros and hurriedly offered out the talisman letter to find Mu Shiying's location.
"Hey, Seyoung, have you arrived?"
Mu Shiying said embarrassedly: "Mingzhu, there is a bit of a urgency in our company, let's go over after a while." β
As soon as You Mingzhu heard this, his face turned cold, and he snapped off the Fu Xin, his chest rose and fell, and he was very angry.
Mu Qingjue complained: "Cousin is really true. Knowing that there is something going on today, can't you take a leave of absence in advance?"
"Who knows what he thinks. You Mingzhu sighed, "Let's go out." β
"Aunt Qin, what are you going to do?"
Ming Qin could remember that Qin Suhui was an important person that the Mu and Qin families and the Investigation Division were trying to find. It doesn't seem too good to be blatantly present in such a place.
Mu Qingjue groaned: "Su Su and I should stay in the car." Otherwise, it doesn't seem good to see your father who is not allowed to back up the birthday gift. β
You Mingzhu said embarrassedly: "Then what's the matter with me with Qinzhi?"
Mu Qingjue blinked and smiled: "Doesn't my cousin still have a big brother in my hometown? You just said that Qin Zhi is the nephew of his cousin, and he came to Yujing to do business." In this way, even if you come up with a treasure with a lot of money, it will be reasonable. β
You Mingzhu was slightly silent, knowing that this was also Mu Qingjue's painstaking effort to help Mu Shiying decorate the faΓ§ade. sneered: "Then I have to wronged Qinzhi to be my nephew." Should you call me aunt too? β
Mu Qingjue was stunned for a moment, and said with a spring in his jade cheeks: "I help you so hard, you are embarrassed to take advantage of me." And don't you have a little conscience? β
You Mingzhu got out of the car with a smile. Beckoned Ming Qin to go to the main building.
............
You Wangxi married four wives and gave birth to five daughters. Except for the eldest daughter You ** and the second daughter You Mingyan, the other three daughters have different biological mothers.
To say that during the six days of the desire realm, especially the celestial and Shura, the monogamous marriage system was basically practiced. Although some nobles and wealthy merchants liked to keep some outer chambers, it was already forbidden by the law.
In this way, if you give birth to a son and half a daughter, you will not be able to enjoy the teachings of the fairy family, so divorce and marriage have become commonplace.
But there are also characters with eyes and hands, who can make multiple wives and children recognized by the law. One is to change nationality and settle in some polygamous worlds. This method is really a bit far-reaching, and it brings a lot of inconvenience to the status of the immortal eunuch.
The other is to handle multiple immortal seals. Of course, this is also against the law, but it is not surprising that such a thing is happening with the general stupidity of the immortal officials.
You Wangxi's four wives, except for the eldest wife, who has passed away, the three wives are all legally married. He has several immortal seals, some are called You Guanhai, some are called You Kanhe, at first glance I thought they were brothers, but in fact, he has a skill.
Of course, the three wives almost don't look at each other, and at present, only the fourth wife lives in You's house and presides over the feed.
You Wangxi and his wife sat in the main hall to entertain the guests, and their sons-in-law and grandchildren were all talking in the back hall.
You Mingzhu came to the hall and caught a glimpse of the room full of guests and friends, laughing loudly, so he didn't go in to solicit gossip, but went to the back hall.
The back hall is lit up and decorated quite festively. There is a huge longevity word pasted on the south wall, and the table is full of large and small gift boxes, which is really dazzling and exquisite.
Three beautiful girls with different looks and qualities sat on the chairs, and some of them were talking. A little boy of seven or eight years old was running around the room, lying on the offering table, turning his pupils and looking around.
You Mingzhu pushed the door in, and the three girls all followed the prestige. A beautiful woman with beautiful makeup and beautiful makeup in the middle of the seat said with a smile: "Third sister, you are here." If it's a little later, you won't be able to eat the birthday cake in time?"
It was You Mingyan, the second sister of You Mingzhu, who worked in Liren Yinzhuang, and her husband was the head of the psychic path, and her family was the richest among the sisters.
"It's a bit of a delay. You Mingzhu glanced at the three of them and said lightly: "Why are there only three of you?" )
