After Qi Ning went down the mountain, he was thinking about what happened on the mountain.
His visit to Daguangming Temple was mainly to convey a message to Master Kongzang on behalf of Xiang Baiying. However, judging from Jingkong's tone, it was obvious that Daguangming Temple already understood what happened in Xichuan.
Moreover, now that King Muye has escaped from the Dragon Prison Cave, Daguangming Temple is too busy to take care of itself, and probably has no energy to ask about the Beggar Clan anymore.
Back at the Hou Mansion, it was already dark. Manager Han immediately came over to send a message. He only said that someone had sent a few boxes and handed them over to Gu Qinghan for now. When Qining came back, he went directly to find Gu Qinghan.
Qi Ning felt strange and didn't know what kind of box it was. When he arrived at Gu Qinghan's yard, he called in front of the door: "Sanniang, are you looking for me?" He went to Daguangming Temple, so naturally he would not tell Gu Qinghan that it was for Baiying. He sent a message saying that he was going to Daguangming Temple to thank him for saving his life last time.
Gu Qinghan's voice has already come out: "Are you back? Come in quickly."
Qining thought to himself that Gu Qinghan had changed a bit now. Before, this beautiful young woman did not dare to be alone in the same room with him, and was always dodging. This time, it was better, but she dared to let herself come to her room alone. She saw no one When the others entered the house, they saw that Gu Qinghan had come out of the inner room. The room was lit and waiting. Under the light, Gu Qinghan, a graceful and graceful figure, waved to Qining and signaled Qining to enter the house.
Qi Ning looked at Gu Qinghan's charming appearance and felt itchy in her heart. She followed him into the room. Before he could speak, Gu Qinghan had already asked in a low voice: "Did Manager Han tell you?"
In Gu Qinghan's boudoir, there was a faint fragrance, Qining said: "It's about the box? What kind of box is it? It's so sneaky."
"You're right, the person delivering the box is really sneaky." Gu Qinghan said angrily, pointing to the table, "Go and see for yourself, what's all there."
Qining walked over and saw two black wooden boxes on the table. They looked ordinary. Next to the boxes was a note. Qining picked it up and took a look, and saw that it read "Jinyi" With these five words, he saw that both boxes were locked and asked, "Sanniang, who sent this?"
"At dusk, I heard someone knocking on the door outside. I thought it was you coming back. When I opened the door, I saw that there was no one outside." Gu Qinghan twisted her waist and walked to the table. Under the light, her skin was pink, beautiful and plump. He said softly: "Beside the threshold, there are these two wooden boxes, and I left this note."
"There's no money left either." Qining said: "How can anyone give a gift without leaving a name? What's inside?"
Gu Qinghan said: "It's given to you, and it's hard for others to open it." He added: "But the boxes containing the gifts are so precious, and the things inside should not be cheap."
"Precious?" Qi Ning looked at the two wooden boxes and wondered: "These two boxes are ordinary, why are they precious?"
Gu Qinghan rolled her eyes at him and said, "I want you to learn more. After all, you are still a marquis. Don't you even know about scale fragrant wood?"
"Scale fragrant wood?"
Gu Qinghan said: "The fragrant wood can be used as both medicine and spice. Didn't you smell the fragrance when you came in? This kind of fragrant wood, you will know it is the best wood as soon as you smell the fragrance. It is not found even in the palace." There are too many, they are very rare, and if you have money, there is nowhere to buy them.”
Qi Ning was surprised. When he entered the room, he naturally smelled the fragrance. He thought it was the body fragrance emanating from Gu Qinghan. Then he straightened his nose and smelled it. Sure enough, it seemed to be floating in the woman's body fragrance. Another layer of fragrance, that fragrance enters the nasal cavity, is actually refreshing.
He also saw that the two boxes were locked with gold locks. The two locks were just two pieces of gold. This was really quite a bit of money. He was amazed and said with a smile: "This is a gift from a rich man. He knows that I am short of money." , there shouldn’t be gold and silver jewelry inside.” He was not polite and took the cold blade in his hand. Although the cold blade cut iron like mud, it was not easy to break gold, so he directly cut the gold lock off the box. , Gu Qinghan thought to himself that this guy has a domineering temper, and he likes to be a bully, and he just cut a groove in a good box, but he also knew in his heart that he could only do this without the key on hand.
Qi Ning put the golden lock on the table and said with a smile: "Sanniang, this golden lock is confiscated and sent directly to the accounting office to subsidize the family."
Gu Qinghan said: "I haven't figured out where they came from, and I don't know if I can stay." In fact, Qining brought back tens of thousands of taels of silver from outside several times in a row, and all of them were deposited into the Hou Mansion's account room. , has already solved the urgent needs of the Hou Mansion, and Gu Qinghan really doesn't have a tight hand.
Qi Ning chuckled and was about to open the box. Gu Qinghan hurriedly reminded: "Ning'er, be careful. I don't know where it came from. If... if someone does it on purpose...!"
Qi Ning immediately understood and said with a smile: "Sanniang thinks someone deliberately made a valuable box to lure me to open it, but there are poisonous insects and other traps hidden inside?"
Gu Qinghan said: "It's better to be careful."
Qining thought that Gu Qinghan was right, so he opened the box with the cold blade without using his hands. The moment the box was opened, it was filled with dazzling light and jewels. When the two of them saw the inside, they were both stunned. I saw two luminous pearls placed in the box.
The two looked at each other. No need to explain, Qining also knew that this night pearl was definitely a top-notch thing. Not only was it huge in appearance, but it also had an extremely bright light. He was amazed. He then opened another box. In the middle of the box was a crow. There is a black metal Buddha sculpture with two blood-red bracelets on the left and right sides. Qining has seen quite a few bracelets, but he has never seen such a colorful bracelet. He is very surprised.
He put away the cold blade and carefully took out the Buddha sculpture from the box. He took it very seriously. The Buddha sculpture was emitting a faint black light. Under the light of the night pearl, the entire body of the Buddha sculpture seemed to be glowing with a halo. The Buddha sculpture itself is even more exquisitely crafted and is worth a lot of money at first glance.
Gu Qinghan frowned and asked: "Ning'er, do you know who sent this? These... these things, each one is valuable, not to mention the two luminous pearls, this... this black gold Buddha statue It is also a rare treasure, and there are... two blood jade bracelets...!"
Qi Ning actually has some doubts in his heart. He still has good eyesight. Of course, he can see that these things are rare and high-quality treasures. He thinks that there are people who are so generous to him, but they don't even leave their names. Next, he pondered for a moment, his eyebrows suddenly relaxed, and he smiled and said, "I know."
Gu Qinghan hurriedly asked: "Who is it?"
"Sanniang, when I was in Xichuan, by some strange combination of circumstances, I saved some people's lives." Qining said with a smile: "Those are the heads of the Eight Gangs and Sixteen Sects. When I left Xichuan, those people He said that he would repay me heavily, but I didn't take it to heart. Today, these two boxes containing treasures are placed in front of the door. After thinking about it, it's only those people."
Gu Qinghan was dubious and asked, "Are they really them?"
"There should be nothing wrong." Qi Ning said: "In fact, they also know that officials of the imperial court and people in the world should not get too close, so they can't send it over openly and can only use this method. Think about it for yourself, these treasures combined are worth a lot of money. How could anyone give such an expensive treasure without even leaving a name?"
Gu Qinghan frowned and said, "Then do these treasures have to be returned to them?"
"That's not necessary." Qi Ning said with a smile: "They don't know how they got these things, and the original owners couldn't be them. Moreover, these people sent the treasures because they were grateful to me for saving their lives. Well, these people know how to repay kindness, and they also know how to do it. In fact, these treasures may not be worth much money in their eyes. The most important thing is that they have already delivered it to their door. If I return it to them, not only will they not Thank you, I'm afraid you will still have prejudice against me and think I don't look down on them."
Gu Qinghan thought for a moment and then said: "You can decide how to deal with it yourself, but what you just said is right. You are the Marquis, so you should try your best to avoid those people."
Qi Ning thought that if he really made friends with that group of people, it might not be a bad thing, but he didn't say anything, and suddenly reached out and held Gu Qinghan's wrist. Gu Qinghan was startled and scolded: "What are you doing? Let go. He was about to break free, but Qining said: "Sanniang, come and try it and see if it looks good on you." He held Gu Qinghan's tender and greasy wrist with one hand, and had already taken a blood test with the other hand. The jade bracelet was put on Gu Qinghan's wrist without any explanation.
Gu Qinghan said anxiously: "Ning'er, don't make trouble, this... you should keep this bracelet yourself."
"What do I need a bracelet for?" Qining said with a smile: "This bracelet looks very expensive. Only Sanniang can match it. Those gangsters understand the truth and know how to give such a treasure." Gu Qinghan was tricked. On the wrist, he pinched her hand, looked it over, and said with a smile: "Sanniang, look, when you put this bracelet on, your hands look whiter and tenderer. It seems that this bracelet was destined to be made for you. .”
There is no woman who doesn't like jewelry, and this blood jade bracelet is extremely rare and hard to come by. After all, Gu Qinghan also comes from a wealthy family and has very good eyesight. At the first glance, he liked it a little. At this time, he was surrounded by Qi Qinghan. Ning put it on her wrist. Under the light, the bracelet was blood red, which highlighted the crystal clear and tender skin. She was quite happy, but she felt that there was something wrong with wearing this bracelet, and said: "I don't want it, you... you Keep it yourself, this kind of bracelet is too expensive to show to others."
Qi Ning chuckled and said, "That's okay. Sanniang will wear it privately from now on, just for me to see. Others won't be lucky if they want to see it." At this time, Wu Zi did not let go of Gu Qinghan's jade hand and looked at Gu Qinghan with a smile.
Gu Qinghan's face heated up, but he said: "Why should I wear it for you to see? If you want to see it, I don't care if others wear it for you."
"Others?" Qi Ning sighed softly: "Except Sanniang, I can't think of anyone else. I just feel that this kind of jewelry can only be worn by Sanniang. Sanniang is beautiful, has white skin, and is born rich." , not everyone has the capital... Swords are given to heroes, beautiful jade is given to beautiful women, Sanniang is a beautiful woman, and this beautiful jade belongs to you!"
Gu Qinghan smiled and said: "You like to be glib, okay, okay, let's not talk about this anymore." She smiled like a flower, was charming, and calmly, she had already withdrawn her hand, changed the subject and asked : "By the way, Mrs. Tian from Tian's Medicine Shop brought her daughters here today and said that you arranged for them to meet Miss Tang. Is this the case?"
Before Qi Ning left, he arranged for Manager Han to handle the matter. Hearing Gu Qinghan's question, he immediately asked: "This is the case, Sanniang, how is the situation? Can Miss Tang diagnose and treat that girl?"
