Entertainment of Spring and Autumn

Chapter 146: Pretending to be five thousand years old

Xue Mu really doesn't have much to do these days, all matters are broken down to the girls, and now Pu Xiang has to spend his brains on business matters. The hostile forces recently don't know whether they are afraid of Xue Qingqiu's revenge, or because they deliberately let Xue Mu relax. In short, the weather is calm and even the door is locked, and the cautious appearance makes it difficult for him to find a family.

As for Xue Qingqiu and Kuiye, they all belonged to retreating and cultivating more than showing up, so it was difficult to find anyone. It's also boring for him to practice kung fu in the mansion all day long. Xia Houdi hasn't heard back yet. If Zheng Haoran didn't come, maybe Xue Mu would go to do some government affairs.

Under such circumstances, Zheng Haoran's arrival can be regarded as finding something for Xue Mu to do. Accompanying him in searching for suitable sword casting materials is also a process for him to become familiar with Lingzhou.

Zheng Haoran didn't know that the city lord was no better than him in familiarity with Lingzhou...

Zhuo Qingqing and other eight personal guards accompanied him, and at the same time, Meng Lan was mixed in, all of them covered their faces with light veils. Otherwise, with Menglan's explosive popularity in Lingzhou at this time, she would have to be surrounded three floors in and out. Zheng Haoran looked at the ostentation of this large group of girls, and shook his head endlessly: "Brother, if we imitate your flair, we will probably be beaten to death by our family."

Xue Mu said casually, "But we are the Xingyue Sect."

"Uh..." Zheng Haoran was speechless, he was right, Xingyuezong just had a lot of girls, just like the people from Zhujian Valley didn't bring a few weapons in their bags when they went out. people? Thinking of this, Zheng Haoran was quite envious: "Xingyue Sect is really a holy place for men..."

"Haha, it's so-so, it's just an ordinary sect." Xue Mu was very modest.

This pretending Zheng Haoran doesn't want to listen anymore, whether it's the strength of the sect or the quality of the girls, if you have the nerve to talk about ordinary sects, won't your conscience hurt?

Their first stop was Qizhen Pavilion, which was the only place Xue Mu was familiar with, and it was also his current collaborator.

When a group of people entered the door, they saw that the huge Qizhen Pavilion was overcrowded, and people were queuing up to buy something. Zheng Haoran was a little surprised, and asked Xue Mu in a low voice: "What is this rushing for?"

Xue Mu smiled, and casually threw a ring to him: "That's it."

Zheng Haoran fiddled with the ring for a while, his eyes flashed with shock, he could also see that if this thing became popular, it would be a big business in the whole world, and the money would be huge. Even if someone imitates it in the future, this "time-honored brand" that first launched the Qiankun Ring will still stand like a mountain.

Soon the shopkeeper Lin Dongsheng came out to greet him: "Oh, City Lord Xue, you are really a rare visitor! But to inspect the Qiankun Ring? Sit inside."

Xue Mu waved his hands and said with a smile: "I let Pu Xiang take care of the business. Today I brought my friend here to find some forging materials."

Lin Dongsheng's chest thumped loudly: "It's a trivial matter, the city lord will take this friend to sit in the room for a while, and I'll send someone to bring a list of materials!"

After entering the "VIP Room", soon a servant served tea, very attentive. Zheng Haoran looked puzzled: "If I'm not mistaken, the shopkeeper is the elder of Zonghengdao, why does he treat the city lord like a family... When did the relationship between Xingyuezong and Zonghengdao become so good?" ?”

"Oh." Xue Mu sipped his tea, and replied comfortably, "Because the most prosperous ring business is now led by me, and I have taken a small share."

Zheng Haoran's eyes were a little straightened, and he secretly thought that you would still do business...

They are very rich in Sword Forging Valley, and orders from all over the country are soaring, but the interior of Sword Forging Valley is also full of hills. The wealth of the entire sect does not mean that the Zheng family is rich. On the contrary, if the Zheng family can be the champion, the future Competing for the owner of the valley...

If this ring business is really operated by Xue Mu, then maybe we can cooperate with Xue Mu in terms of business. This is something I didn't expect before coming here... Thinking of this, I couldn't help but tentatively said: "It turns out that the owner of Xue Mu is in the financial department. There is also a unique experience in the matter..."

"Finance? I don't have much experience. I don't have much idea about money, and I don't value money very much." Xue Mu smiled warmly.

Zheng Haoran looked blank.

At this time, Lin Dongsheng came in with a long list, and said with a smile, "If the old man is not in a daze, this friend in front of him must be Mr. Zheng Haoran of Zhujian Valley?"

"Yes." Zheng Haoran leaned forward and said, "I have met Elder Lin."

As a result, Lin Dongsheng's attitude didn't change much. Instead, he showed a flattering smile at the little maid standing beside Xue Mu: "I've seen Fairy Qin, and Fairy Qin came to the Qizhen Pavilion in person. Even the treasures in the pavilion are so beautiful." Lost three points..."

Zheng Haoran was holding the list in his hand, unable to speak.

What and what... Isn't this girl Xue Mu's girl? "Young master, are you tired?" "Young master, Menglan, help you shake your fan..."

Why is this guy the Qin Fairy that has been rumored recently? Do you still have room for adultery?

Meng Lan also took off her veil in the room, and saluted gracefully: "Shopkeeper Lin, you are very polite."

When the veil was taken off, the room was really full of brilliance, even the pearls embedded on the wall were eclipsed, Zheng Haoran looked a little dull, and saw that the other eight guard girls were also a little unconvinced, and all took off their veils .

For a moment, flowers were blooming everywhere, Zheng Haoran's eyes were straightened, and he couldn't help but said: "The city lord chooses maids and guards, are they all based on their beauty?"

Xue Mu looked blank: "Ah? What beauty? I am face-blind, so I don't know what beauty is."

Zheng Haoran felt a mouthful of blood swirling in his throat, and almost didn't come out.

Xue Mu is extremely comfortable physically and mentally. This 5,000-year-old essence of pretentiousness in China can be pretended in one day. It would be hell if it didn't shock people out of their internal injuries.

He did it on purpose.

A person like Zheng Haoran, who was born in a top sect, is very proud in his heart. From his speech and behavior last night, it can be seen that giving things away, and giving them back in the future, is a feeling of looking down on the low. Although he didn't do it on purpose, he was actually very polite, and that feeling came from his bones, which proved something.

For such a person, if you are courteous and courteous, they won’t take it too seriously when they help you. It would be nice to reward you with a good fan—would the rich second generation care if a helper finds something good for him? On the contrary, if the second generation who is more advanced than him helped him, he would definitely remember it as a favor in his heart. This is a matter of ideology and has nothing to do with character.

So Xue Mu's behavior today is to deliberately suppress the arrogance and nobleness in Zheng Haoran's heart, so that he can highlight his humanity. As for whether to cooperate in business, that is a matter for later.

Zheng Haoran's extravagance was really dispelled, and he was a little listless, looking at the list absent-mindedly.

Looking at it, his expression slowly became a little disappointed, and he sighed: "Elder Lin, the Qizhen Pavilion is indeed extraordinary, and many materials are extremely rare, but... um..." After thinking about it, he continued tactfully : "I have been forging in Sword Forging Valley for thousands of years, and there are not a few rare things."

The implication is that these things are good, but I am a professional, and I have seen a lot of them. Is there anything more special?

Xue Mu asked, "Is there a secret meeting today?"

Lin Dongsheng smiled: "Although there is no secret meeting today, there is an auction."

auctions! Xue Mu's eyes lit up immediately, this thing is fun, without this fantasy, is it still fantasy?

Zheng Haoran, however, was much more expert than him, and asked directly: "Since the auction hosted by Qizhen Pavilion, do you have an order? If there is no need for the order, then there is no need to go."

Lin Dongsheng smiled slightly: "I don't want to mention anything else, I know that there are two things that are suitable for Mr. Zheng: chalcedony crystal and phantom quicksand."

Zheng Haoran's eyes also lit up.
