Chapter 232 Pen, Ink, Paper and Inkstone
When Yan Pu saw Han Sui again, it was in front of the Fufeng County Governor's Mansion: Ma Chao actually invited Han Sui and Yan Pu to talk inside at the same time!

Yan Pu and Han Sui are both people who have been ups and downs in the political field for many years and have already matured. After seeing each other suddenly startled, they showed a wry smile: conspiracy is not terrible, but the most fearful thing is this kind of conspiracy!

If Ma Chao just entertained Han Sui or Zhang Lu alone, then the little Jiujiu between the two forces can speak freely.But if the other party is present, they have scruples about each other.As a result, Han Sui and Yan Pu lost a lot of weight in the negotiation field.

What's even more frightening is that if both forces are present, they must show sincerity in order to show their friendship to the Ma family.But if only one party is present, the sincerity can be more or less, and it is completely free to control.But the other party was present, and both wanted to show their sincerity, so if the other party's sincerity was too uninteresting, wouldn't the Ma family laugh at it?

The two of them figured this out in an instant, so they smiled wryly at each other: It seems that the Ma family boy is not easy to fool!

Han Sui had long experienced Ma Chao's methods.Therefore, in Han Sui's smile, apart from helplessness, there was also a hint of gloating...

"Han Shibo! I haven't seen you for more than half a year, and Han Shibo is still so handsome!" Ma Chao greeted Han Sui with a smile. Such a friendly attitude made both Yan Pu and Han Sui stunned.

The reason for Yan Pu's bewilderment: Are the Ma and Han families really close?If so, Hanzhong is in danger!
And the reason for Han Sui's bewilderment: Ma Chao didn't mention Ma Teng's death and his condolences in the future, and he didn't express his intention to manipulate the Iron Qiang League to attack the Eastern Qiang behind the scenes. Instead, he greeted him so cordially.
However, when neither of them reacted.Ma Chao warmly greeted Yan Pu again: "I have heard for a long time that Yan Gongcao is the number one counselor in Hanzhong. When I saw him today, he is indeed capable of both civil and military skills, making the hall of a certain Fufeng county guard flourish!"

"How dare you dare, the general's reputation of 'Yongzhou's brocade' has already spread throughout the Han. Yan is really the light of a firefly in front of the general. How dare he compete with the bright moon?" After all, Yan Pu is younger and quicker to respond, and he is kind to Ma Chao. The greetings, immediately bowed in return.

And Han Sui also reacted at this time, relying on his seniority, patted Ma Chao on the shoulder, and said eagerly: "Nephew! Uncle is late... When Brother Shoucheng died in vain, Han was fighting hard in Zhangye. This sad news is so painful! Fortunately, my nephew was young and successful, and took over the Ma family, so that the Ma family did not lose their prestige. In this way, Shoucheng Xian's soul in heaven can also rest in peace..." After finishing speaking, Han Sui burst into tears. The feeling is tragic and strong, and there is a sense of sadness for all the plants and trees.

Seeing this, Yan Pu caught up with him a step further: "General, I would like to express my condolences and obedience. Today, I was ordered by my lord to explain what happened the day before yesterday. Second, I want to express my condolences for my lord..."

"My father's death is really an unexpected event. The two of you came from a long way today, and my father must have been very pleased to know this. The boy is innocent, so I thank the two families for their respect on behalf of my father..." After finishing speaking, Ma Chao said You have to bend down and kowtow: Damn, isn't it just acting?Brother is really dead, dad, you guys can act more real than me?

How could these two people accept Ma Chao's great gift, they rushed forward together to stop Ma Chao, and tried to persuade Ma Chao, so they stopped Ma Chao's act of affection and filial piety.

After a hustle and bustle, everyone behind Ma Chao was shocked: the lord once said that some of them are worthy of Oscar statuettes.When I saw it today, I realized what it means to be a real person without showing your face... The title of actor must belong to the lord!

"Both of you have come from a long way. I miss my father so much. You have lost the courtesy of hospitality. You really deserve to die. Please forgive your sins and please enter the hall quickly..." After about a moment of burning incense, three After the performance of the talents, Ma Chao felt exhausted from the first confrontation, so he quickly invited the two into the hall, taking advantage of this moment to calm down and start the next round of real swordsmanship.

Han Sui and Yan Pu also felt the same way, and after returning the salute, they followed Ma Chao into the hall.

I saw that after Ma Chao took power, he completely remodeled the interior of the hall.On both sides of the front seat, there are no more upholstered and low desks.Instead, a weird kind of seat was put on. The seat has four legs intersecting in pairs, and the body is wide. The carving is wonderful and unusual, obviously it is a kind of exquisite seat full of wealth and nobility.

"Please take your seat, both of you." After Ma Chao greeted him, he sat straight down on the main seat in the hall, his demeanor naturally gave people a visual oppression, and his calm and prestige was undoubtedly obvious.

When Han Sui and Yan Pu saw that everyone under Ma Chao's command also sat on the chair, they were obviously used to it.The two of them tried to sit down, only to find that the seat was comfortable to lean on, and they no longer had the uncomfortable feeling of sitting on their knees, which was solemn and serious, but still revealed their personal charm in their natural form.

"Nephew is really a great talent. These seats are finely crafted and extremely comfortable. I wonder if there is a name for them?" Han Sui said to Ma Chao after twisting from side to side.

"This thing was invented accidentally by the kid, so it is called 'Meng Qi Chair'." Ma Chao waved his hand, and his beautiful servants brought fragrant tea and snacks, and placed them on the corresponding desk in front of the chair.

At this time, Yan Pu had already observed the desk, and saw that the desk was much higher than the desks he usually saw, but it happened to be between his chest and abdomen, so it was very convenient to choose.And on the table on the scribe under Ma Chao's right, besides fragrant tea and snacks, there are also four calligraphy treasures: pen, ink, paper and inkstone.

The paper Yanpu is known, and it is naturally the Fufeng paper among the famous scholars.What he didn't expect was that the Fufeng paper he had tried so hard to obtain for collection and use would be used in Fufeng to transcribe the minutes at will!

That ink, Yan Pu also looked at it straight: that is Wei Mo made by Master Wei Danwei, it is like a stone for thousands of years, and a little bit like paint!At this time, it appeared in front of my eyes so casually!

And that pen, that's Zhang Zhi's pen!It is the writing brush made by the most famous juvenile calligrapher among the scholars in the world, and it is worth thousands of gold!
And that inkstone, also the best Duanshi inkstone!
Yan Pu's eyeballs were about to pop out at this time: I have heard for a long time that the Ma family's brocade is a genius full of economics, but I don't think that this random pen, ink, paper and inkstone is the first-class choice in the world.Such a glimpse shows the whole picture, how magnificent the wealth of the Ma family must be!
Han Sui knew the wealth of the Ma family well.Therefore, his eyes only flickered for the exquisite products revealed in the simplicity, and then he became indifferent, and continued to ask about the chair: "Mengqi chair? Why is it named so?"

"When my nephew took over as the head of the Ma family, he had already been named Mengqi, and this chair got its name from that." Ma Chao responded calmly after taking a look at Yan Pu.

"If this is the case, it really lives up to the name. Although the ability of my nephew has already impressed Han, I don't want it. Under this, it can still surprise Han. My nephew is a great talent, and he will definitely not be a treasure in the future..." Han Sui replied with a smile, looking at Yan Pu next to him, he felt a little uncomfortable: If it's normal, and the greetings are so far, it's time to get to the point.But this guy is present, how can he let himself speak?
After thinking about it, Han Sui pretended to wake up suddenly and said: "This time I came to Fufeng, my uncle brought some special products from the Western Regions, and I would like to ask my nephew to accept it, as a token of the friendship between the Ma and Han families for generations."

Ma Chao was about to open his mouth to give in, but he didn't want Yan Pu, who was trying to move his eyes away from the ink, paper and inkstone, to say loudly: "Next time I come here, I will also bring a Hanzhong gift, and I hope the general will accept it."

Ma Chao smiled strangely: Sure enough, the previous arrangement has finally taken effect now...
