supreme heaven

() Shengtian Dynasty Wulie 43 years, August, autumn. .

The location is Luocheng in the southeast land.

On the fourteenth day of the eighth month, there was a lot of traffic outside the Jiangzi Mansion in Luochengchi, and even more people crowded inside the Qianjia Ancestral Hall.

The fastest runner in this world is not a man with two legs, nor a horse with four legs, but the one without legs—news!

At the same time when the Qian family sent the invitations to the doors of the major families, Qian Chongying lived in seclusion, and the next heir of the Qian family in Luocheng was Qian Chongying's second daughter: the news of Qian Xunxue also spread like wildfire in the southeast .

First of all, the head of the family lived in seclusion and delegated power before he passed away. This kind of thing is rare in major families. It makes the big aristocratic families troubled by the idea that men are superior to women even more strange.

As a result, on the fourteenth day of the eighth month, the day before Qian Xunxue's succession ceremony, the Jiangzi Mansion in Luochengchi was stepped on by children from aristocratic families from all over the place.Even many aristocratic families that were not invited originally, or those that were far away from the Qian family, near the southwest, all sent people to bring congratulatory gifts, which was very lively.

On the one hand, there must be demons in strange things, on the other hand, everyone also knows that the second daughter of the Qian family, the new head of the family, Qian Xunxue, is a beautiful beauty, so many children of the family with higher titles than the Qian family are also I have a desire to hunt for beauty.

After all, being able to capture the heart of the newly promoted Patriarch of the Qian Family is tantamount to taking Luocheng, a land in the southeast where the Qian Family has been operating for six generations, into his pocket.

But the latter was quickly disappointed, or rather he lost his heart.

The newly promoted Patriarch of the Qian Family is already engaged, and the object of the engagement is a big family that no family will mess with - the Qin family!

"The young master of the Wu family in Hancheng has arrived, and I will present a hundred pearls as a congratulatory gift!"

"The envoys from the Yang family in Linjiang City have arrived, and they will congratulate you with ten pairs of white jade discs and twenty coral trees!"

"The head of the Feng family in Fengqi City has arrived, and I will present you with thirty Yifeng beads and a pair of jade Ruyi as a congratulatory gift!"

"Mengshangcheng's Han parents have arrived, and they will present you with a collar of white-fronted tiger fur and ten iceberg snow lotuses!"

……

As the servants at the door sang promises one after another, the carts of gifts were unloaded in front of the "Chijiangzi Mansion" in front of the Qianjia mansion, and then the servants wearing Qianjia's costumes carried them into the mansion together. , and then led by the servant to the wing to rest.

The four accountants who were in charge of registering the gifts were already suffering beyond words. Naturally, they would not have thought why so many gifts came back after sending out [-] invitations originally?

But there was one person who was so happy from ear to ear.

"Lonely Moon...Lonely Moon...Look at..." A woman in a white robe with a collar is sitting in an open room deep in the courtyard of Qianjia, sitting on a wicker chair, leaning on a square table, looking at the table. There were big red gift lists on the table, and the flower branches trembled with laughter.

Sitting opposite him at this time is a young man wearing a black coat. Although it is already cool in August, wearing a coat is really nondescript. What is even more strange is that there are still clothes in his coat. She wore a robe next to her body, with intricate patterns on it, extremely mysterious.

But no one dared to look down on this strangely dressed person, not because of anything else, just the family crest embroidered with gold thread on the chest of Xuanse Dahui can explain everything-the golden bow badge of the sea of ​​clouds, the first emperor of the Shengtian Dynasty The first family, the Qin family!

In such a weather, the person wearing such strange clothes is also the person that the entire Qin family can't afford to offend except the Patriarch Qin Zhantian: the eldest son Qin Guyue.

However, at this time, Qin Guyue looked at the girl in front of her who was looking at the gift list and smiling from ear to ear, but her expression was one of helplessness... I have never seen this girl worship money so much before!

"Come here quickly and take a look... Even some aristocratic families in the Southwest have sent people here, the offer is still very generous..." The girl stretched out her hand and pushed the stack of red gift slips on the table towards Qin Guyue and said: "This way As a result, the gift received just this time can be enough to cover the entire family's expenses for a year."

"Oh? There are so many!" Although Qin Guyue expected that the gift might be very generous, it would be enough to cover the expenses of thousands of families for a year. "There are so many gifts."

"Yeah... I just sent out 56 invitations, but who knew that there were [-] families who came, accounting for almost one-third of the dynasty's family, and many families who had no communication before appeared. It's a gift." The girl in front of her stretched out her hand like a jade green onion, twisting the corner of a big red wedding invitation, feeling the rough texture of the hand, but she said: "It's just so many gifts, I want one by one in the future." It's really not an easy thing to return favors."

At this time, the expression on Qin Guyue's face was that she felt that she was playing the piano with a cow, and she cocked her mouth and said, "Xunxue, I don't care what gifts were given by the other 56 families or 85 families, what I'm talking about is These two... why did they give so much!"

"Ah? Which two?" Hearing Qin Guyue's reminder, Qian Xunxue subconsciously lowered her head to search the gift list. She was about to raise her head blankly when she saw that Qin Guyue was holding two of them. The gift list was placed in front of Qian Xun Xue.

At the end of the first one is written Congratulations to Xu Banruo, the Lord of Fuzhong, and the inscription on the second one is Congratulations by Tang Tianxing, the adopted son of Yangcheng City Master and Servant.

It was the gift list from the Xu family and the Tang family.

The gifts from Xu's family were thirty strings of emerald glass beads, 100 taels of high-quality red gold, and five pieces of spiritual weapons.

Of course, the spiritual soldiers here will definitely not be the Qianqiu Sword in Qin Guyue's hands, or Qin Xiaotian's Rising Dragon Sword. A spiritual soldier of this level must be a spiritual soldier whose spiritual knowledge has been wiped out by a master, but if you take it out as a gift, Still worth a lot.

The Tang family, on the other hand, seemed to challenge the Xu family on purpose, offering thirty pairs of white biscuits, 300 taels of gold, and five horses from Yangcheng.

One gave emerald glass beads, one gave white jade, one gave high-grade red gold, one gave gold directly, one gave spiritual soldiers, and the other gave horses...

Qin Guyue simply suspected that the two families had colluded.

And I have to say that among the 56 families who came to congratulate, the Xu family and the Tang family can only be ranked in the upper middle level because they are located in the southeast, relatively rich, but the gift money they paid out is firmly occupied. First, second position.

"I didn't realize that the Tang family and the Xu family gave so much..." Seeing this string of numbers, Qian Xunxue's face changed and said: "The finances of these two families should not be so rich. The two gift bills are almost half a year's income for them... What exactly does this mean?"

"That's right." Qin Guyue said blandly from the side: "After I begged for the farmland and minerals occupied by the Tang family and the Xu family, the finances of the two families should be worse. Why? Will it bleed profusely?"

"Yeah, why?" Qian Xunxue touched her chin and pondered, "Could it be that she hopes to get the support of the Qian family? But the Xu family doesn't matter. As for the Tang family, when everyone was in Daxing City, they faced Long Ruoke just made a high-five oath, so he should be regarded as one of his own... Even if it's a gift, why don't you pay so much?"

Qin Guyue pushed the stack of gift slips in her hand towards Qian Xunxue and said, "If something weird happens, there must be a demon, Xunxue, do you want to hear my opinion?"

When Qian Xunxue heard Qin Guyue's words, she couldn't help but turn a blind eye. The meaning was obvious. I only asked you because I wanted to hear what you said. What do you mean by being so secretive?

Qin Guyue seemed to be a little bit uncomfortable, but Qianxun gave her a white look, and said instead: "This proves that the two of them have ghosts in their hearts! If it wasn't for this time, I would have acted quickly with you, and I would have covered it up with lightning speed." Er Zhishi solved the civil strife that the Qian family had against you, I'm afraid the Xu family and the Tang family will take this opportunity to find trouble!"

"Then they gave such a heavy gift out of guilt?" After all, Qian Xunxue was extremely intelligent, and immediately felt the taste: "These gifts are said to be for me, to celebrate my succession as the Patriarch of the Qian Family, but in fact... ..."

Qin Guyue grinned dryly, and said with a dry smile: "Actually, it was given to me, Qin Guyue! If you don't want others to know, unless you don't do it yourself, it seems that the people of these two families were quite self-aware back then, and they took advantage of it early Taking this opportunity, I sent a gift to make amends, otherwise I will catch the handle in the future, and I am afraid that I will attack these two families."

"Then you don't know..." Although Qian Xunxue liked Qin Guyue's strategizing appearance very much, she couldn't help but hit him and said, "It can only be said that the Tang family and the Xu family think highly of you. I think you know all about their tricks, don’t you?”

Qin Guyue could only smile wryly and said: "What a eloquent girl, yes, I didn't know it at first, but now I know it, the two families have expressed their attitude to me, even if there was Xiao Jiujiu before, there was I want to feel sorry for the Qin family, but I won’t do it in the future, and I don’t dare. I hope I won’t hit the smiling face with my fist.”

"Look at your expression, you're being nice even after asking for a bargain." Qian Xunxue elbowed Qin Guyue and asked, "Guyue, what are your plans then?"

Qin Guyue straightened her clothes, and said seriously: "Actually, when I was in Daxing City, I noticed that Tang Jiu and Xu Shu's expressions were not quite right, and the suppression of the two families was indeed severe, but I I don't want the Qin family to bear the bad name of oppressing their allies. Since they admit it wrong, then I can completely pretend that this incident has never happened. Even Xu Shu... If he is a smart person, it is not a bad idea to form an alliance with the Xu family !"

"Heh..." Qian Xunxue sneered and said, "You dare to form an alliance with a conspirator like Xu Family Xu Shu, you are really brave!"
