The red is rising.

In an official residence with few furnishings, which can even be described as shabby, a middle-aged official with a beautiful beard wearing a cyan official uniform frowned and looked at the red rising sun.

After a long time, he finally made up his mind and said to the master who was waiting on the side, "Send my box of whale cream to the young man in the wine shop in Wutongluo." ”

Like all masters who can gain a foothold in Changling, although this thin master seems to be able to blow him with a gust of wind, his expression is extremely steady, and his eyes are always full of wisdom.

Hearing his words at this time, the master was taken aback, and couldn't calm down: "Lord Sikong, will it be too valuable?"

The middle-aged official smiled self-deprecatingly and said, "I know very well what you are thinking at this time... Although Ding Ning, a young man in this wine shop, cultivated to enter the realm surprisingly fast, after all, the situation of each realm was different, some people were extremely fast in the previous realm, but when they reached the fourth and fifth realms, they were unnoticed. After the Holy Lord ascended the throne, the most famous example was Guo Yan of Changshan County, whose cultivation speed in the first four realms was similar to that of the best cultivators in the history books, but after reaching the fourth realm, he was sluggish, made him lose all faith, gave up on himself, and became depressed, and now he has become a tuberculosis ghost riddled with all kinds of diseases. Looking at people from the first three realms is indeed too early. ”

"It's just that I can understand this truth, and those nobles who are far higher than me are naturally very clear. So even if he knows his name like me, he just knows it, and he doesn't pay too much attention to him at all, let alone show him any kindness, because he is not qualified enough, unless he can have such an expression in the four realms and five realms. For those nobles, even cultivators who have reached the Six Realms can let them think a little. ”

After a pause, the middle-aged official looked at the master who was becoming more and more puzzled and continued: "At this time, it is natural that those nobles whose positions are not high enough are shown to him, but because this young man is not qualified enough, even if they express some kindness, they will not give anything too valuable." But I want to take a gamble. ”

The middle-aged official looked at the master whose brows suddenly loosened, and said seriously: "Although the Rite Division is in charge of the ceremonies of the Sect Temple and is named the head of each division, it is actually the least powerful, and at most it can only talk to the Holy Lord and the Empress. When our company has reached such a position in the Rite Division, what can be used in our hands is not as good as the commander of a soldier and horse division. ”

"Because I felt that there was no good way out, and it seemed that there was less and less hope of revenge, I wanted to take a gamble. Complicated feelings began to appear in the eyes of the middle-aged official: "Actually, I'm not in a hurry to go to the doctor, because unlike others, I have seen Xue Wuxu a few times, I know that he belongs to the kind of person who can endure the most, there are countless people who can endure in Changling, but like him, he has actually reached the seventh realm, but there should be no second person who can endure so much." Since a person like him who can endure will do many things that are completely inconsistent with his nature for the sake of this young man, that young man should really be worth my gamble. At least in terms of cultivation and qualifications, Xue Wangxu can see it more clearly than me. It's the same gift-giving, and I'm going to give the heaviest gift. The young man started late, his body was weak, and what he lacked was an overseas elixir like whale elixir. I have carefully inquired about some of this son's expressions in the sacrificial sword trial, and I believe that this son is the kind of person who knows how to repay his kindness. ”

Hearing these voices of the adult he followed, the thin master was a little admired, knowing that before he made a decision, he had done enough homework, just thinking of the word revenge, the thin master looked at the wrinkles in the corners of the other party's eyes, and couldn't help but sigh lightly in his heart.

Wutong fell suddenly lively.

This kind of excitement is not the excitement brought by the ordinary New Year, but the appearance of many luxurious carriages.

The lady's entanglement, rouge gouache, the paperweight and incense burner in the study, and the jade for playing with will become a symbol of identity and status for many years in the past.

Decades ago, after the carriage evolved from the original system with no carriage and only a canopy to a closed carriage, the carriage that could not let outsiders see the inside of the carriage was transformed into a relatively stable and comfortable means of transportation for the nobles from the beginning, and became the most important object in the daily life of the nobles in Changling.

The making of the carriage is also becoming more and more exquisite and gorgeous, just from some materials and inlays, you can roughly see the status of the master in Changling.

The best coachman can directly see the mansion corresponding to the carriage.

A carriage with a plywood clearly lined with steel plates that could not be penetrated by arrows, and a very heavy carriage was about to enter the alleyway, when the coachman, who was sitting at the front of the carriage and sitting as straight as a javelin, looked at him with a blank look and frowned.

A carriage that didn't look anything special, but was made of ordinary sandalwood, was driving into the sycamore from the other end.

"How?"

A pause in the carriage behind the coachman was felt in the carriage, and a soft inquiry was heard.

"It's Fang Yong's carriage from Fang Hou's Mansion. The coachman replied softly.

The nobleman in the carriage behind him was silent for a moment, waiting patiently.

Although Fang Yong is a concubine, he has outstanding military achievements, and he is the third person in Fanghou Mansion in addition to Fang Yu and Fang Xiumu. Such a character is naturally much higher than his identity.

At this moment, the coachman of the carriage was stunned again.

He saw a carriage that looked particularly square.

The carriage also had no extravagant ornamentation, except for every part of the carriage, but it was extremely orthodox, completely in accordance with the standard system, and did not even bring the slightest personal preference.

"The Deputy Chief of the Receits... Lord Sikong Lian even sent someone. The driver confirmed that he was looking at the right thing, turned to the side, and whispered into the car in disbelief.

......

The small courtyard rented by Xue Wangxu was full of cars and horses.

No sooner had one carriage left than another pulled up to the door.

Looking at the gifts that were sent in one by one and were about to fill half of the utility room, Xue Wangxu, who was wearing a weasel skin hat, couldn't help but grin again.

Isn't this also a kind of scenery?

"Little....little junior brother..."

At this time, Zhang Yi, who had been recording the gift so that he might return the gift in the future, suddenly stammered again.

Xue Wangxu slapped the copper soup woman who was warming her hands and shouted, "What's the matter?"

"Lord Fang Yong of Fanghou Mansion, I sent a golden silk coat over. Zhang Yi seemed to be ashamed of his startled appearance, and walked out of the utility room in shame, and said softly.

Xue Wangxu was stunned for a moment.

Naturally, the golden silk garment was not really made of ordinary gold wire, and if that was the case, it would not be valuable to the cultivator. The so-called golden silk cloth in the cultivator's world is woven from the inner silk of the stem of a different flower called the golden wisp flower, which helps the cultivators of the True Yuan Realm to condense their qi, and allows the cultivator to replenish the true yuan faster when the true yuan is consumed violently and the heaven and earth vitality is absorbed to replenish the true element.

This is indeed a great gift, and because of the scarcity of golden wisps, it is also a great gift that has no price and is difficult to buy with money.

"Even if it's a gold-threaded coat, there's no need to make such a fuss. Xue Wangxu, who came back to his senses, looked at Zhang Yi, who was a little ashamed, and scolded.

Zhang Yi lowered her head even more ashamedly and explained softly: "I know... However, Lord Sikong of the Reiji sent a heavier gift, and he gave him a box of whale elixir, which can be used until the beginning of next summer. ”

Xue Wangxu was completely stunned this time.

The master of the ceremonial department is only the deputy head of the department.

Although Ding Ning has such an appearance, Xue Wangxu naturally knows very well that a seedling like Ding Ning is not qualified for the real magnate at all, and someone from Fanghou Mansion will come, just because Ding Ning had some relationship with Fanghou Mansion before. Liling Jun is a figure who is recognized as a person in the entire Changling Tomb who does everything in detail and must bow down to everything, and he will use some means, but only because he has suffered Ding Ning's rejection and humiliation here.

Now that a powerful person like Sikong Lian can pay attention to Ding Ning, even if it is to give a small gift, it is already a little incredible in his opinion, let alone a box of whale cream.

Whale Qiong Paste is one of the medicines that were extremely useful for cultivators discovered during the Great Qin Dynasty's hundred years of exploration of medicine overseas.

It is made from a kind of colloidal seagrass called whale grass in the deep sea, and where that gelatinous seagrass grows, there are a large number of black water Jiao. Dealing with a real dragon in ordinary shallow water is not a particularly dangerous thing for many cultivators, but if you have to face a group of real dragons in the deep sea, you don't know how much it will cost to collect this seaweed.

Therefore, the whale cream is extremely rare, and even those Hou mansions are rarely available.

And this kind of plaster is extremely useful, if it is applied to the whole body after bathing, the medicinal power penetrates into the skin and bones, it will greatly stimulate the effect of blood exchange and marrow exchange of true yuan, not only to make the muscles and bones strong, and not to be sick, but also to naturally increase the strength of the body, which is equivalent to allowing the practitioner to reduce a lot of cultivation time.

Therefore, this kind of plaster, also known as "foundation building ointment" in various dynasties, replenishes the foundation of the practitioner.

It can be used until the early summer of next year, and this whale elixir is naturally not a small box, but a large box.

This is indeed a gift that is enough to shock anyone, and Zhang Yi cannot be blamed for not being calm enough.

"I even gave such a heavy gift." Xue Wangxu coughed lightly a few times, and sighed softly with emotion: "Sikong Lian, what is the matter with you... In a place like Changling, is it really that people like you have a lot of helplessness and things that can't be solved at all, do you need to do this?"

......

Ordinary people have the helplessness and grievances of ordinary people, and those who stand in high places also have the helplessness and grievances of those who stand in high places.

Xue Wangxu let out such a sigh, not because he didn't understand this truth until this time, but he thought, since it is the same no matter how high he climbs, what is the point of climbing high?

It's just that not everyone thinks that way.

Perhaps the vast majority of people will only look back on their lives completely at the end of their lives, and will think about whether many of the things they have done are right and meaningful, and perhaps they will understand what they have missed, in fact, what they want most.

In the gorgeous study, Li Lingjun looked at the case file in front of him, and the hoarfrost on his temples became thicker and thicker.

The sound of footsteps broke his heavy thoughts and the silence around him, and a trace of horse manure appeared in the air of the study burning with agarwood in a very incongruous manner.

Li Lingjun's brows furrowed suddenly, and an extremely rare fierce killing intent suddenly appeared on his face that had always been gentle.

He raised his head, looked at the person who appeared in his sight, and said in a slightly cold voice: "Uninvited, this is the greatest rudeness, and you are a person from my house, ignoring the rules of my house, this is not just rude." ”

Su Qin, who was wearing an ordinary cloth that exuded a stench, bowed deeply and said, "I am rude, but I can relieve your worries." ”

(Recently, it has been difficult to update regularly, and I can only do two more per day, because one is that this book needs inspiration to write, and it is driven by the direction of the plot, so it takes a long time to sit dry, and it is fast after moving the keyboard.) Another point is that my daughter happens to be in the first grade, and the pinyin teaching knows that it is a big problem. Therefore, I often have to spend a lot of time on my daughter's counseling, no matter what, I have done my best. Thank you for your understanding and support. ）
