Chapter 49 The Wheel of Destiny

Ximenqing

8th of August.

Ximenqing has been a little restless since morning and always feels that something is going to happen today. After all, it is to deliver fake goods to your door, and it is impossible to say that you are not nervous. But this wealth is dangerous. Besides, there are not so many real things.

(PS: Here is a kind reminder for everyone. The heavy building is from Northeast China, and the method of stitching into dummy ginseng as mentioned in the article does exist, and many southern friends don't know why. Nowadays, wild ginseng is so rare that it is basically impossible to buy it, but in fact, the medicinal power of planting is not bad.)

After noon, Ximen Qing became more difficult to calm down. After a rough bite, he changed his clothes early and waited for the departure time in the pharmacy.

"Shopkeeper, will you go to Guihua Building with me today?" Ximen Qing suddenly remembered that it seemed that it was not appropriate for him to go alone.

"My owner, our medicine shop can't be left unattended. Although today, all the famous people in the county have gone to the Osmanthus Building, but it is not guaranteed that anyone will buy some medicine, and it is more likely to be a business that can make a lot of money. I can't leave." The shopkeeper said with a sincere face.

He is also right. Ximen Qing also agreed with this. Just one person. Anyway, I bring generous gifts, and I won't be despised if I go alone. On the contrary, it can leave an impression of Wu Song not putting on airs.

In a moment, Ximen Qing went out. The distance from Ximen Pharmacy to Guihua Tower is not very far, and it is completely OK to walk. In addition, if you take a sedan chair, it will inevitably seem to deliberately lift yourself up. If riding a horse, it is more about the feeling of playing a big knife in front of the public. Since you have decided to keep a low profile, keep a low profile to the end. Ximen Qing carried a long box with stitched ginseng on his back. At this moment, he seemed to suddenly return to his youth. At that time, he always carried a long box like this, imagining that he was a swordsman warrior across the world, in peace.

Thinking of his past ignorant fantasies, Ximen Qing smiled. If you can become that kind of hero, the first thing you should gather is your own interests.

What's more, the hero died long ago. The era of heroes has long passed. There used to be many heroes in this world, but now they no longer exist. There are no heroes who make the vertical son famous. Wu Song is such a vertical man who just killed a tiger.

What about me? I'm not even vertical.

Ximenqing shook his head. He has been thinking too much about life recently, which is not like himself.

This street is also the habit of Ximenqing. It swings along the West Street, walks to the intersection, and turns to the Guihua Tower. Ximen Qing calculated that he would arrive at most two quarters, half an hour earlier than the time written on the invitation. It should be the first group of people. But when I arrived at the gate of the Guihua Building, I found that it was not the case at all.

The gate of Guihua Building is already quite noisy. If I hadn't read the invitation repeatedly to confirm the time, I would have thought that I didn't come early but late. Ximen Qing glanced around, and it was generally the shopkeepers of all kinds of shops in Yanggu.

There are two major businesses in Yanggu, one is the Guihua Building and the other is the sedan on West Street. The car has now reversed its brand, and Guihua Tower has long been a dominant and business leader. Basically, the owner of Guihualou is also the president of the Chamber of Commerce. Under this premise, colleagues in the business world also want to come earlier to make a good impression on the president. Ximen Qing is not like this. He also had this idea when he arrived early.

However, there are no official people among the people around. Because Shenshi did not arrive, the Guihua Building was not even officially opened, and these buyers and sellers could only stand at the door and talk in twos and threes.

Ximen Qing knows these people, but they are not very familiar with them. Other buyers and sellers also think that he is the kind of prodigal son in the wind and moon field. Sooner or later, he will ruin the pharmacy and don't like to talk to him. Therefore, I can only stand like this and listen to other people's conversations in boredom.

"The brother of the Wu family became the president of the Chamber of Commerce, and the younger brother became the head. From then on, I'm afraid Yanggu will have to change his surname to Wu. I didn't expect that the martial artists who had only been in Yanggu for a few years could reach this level. An unfamiliar seller said.

"This is fate. But what about controlling Yanggu? It's nothing more than making profits for yourself. Anyway, no matter who says it, we have to pay the same tax bank benefits. It's the same for everyone, and it's no different for us. The person opposite him replied.

"I can put up with this, but you see, this martial arts family is so big that they don't even open the door. We are humble, but why do we have to come to congratulate you and let us sit down and drink water!" The man was obviously a little angry.

"Who told you to come early? It is said that the time has arrived, and now it has just passed two quarters, and it is natural not to open the door. However, this martial artist is indeed a little too much. Alas, brother, let's talk in a low voice. There are many people and miscellaneous words, and some things are still less discussed.

Ximen Qing's ears swept over, and it was basically this sound.

At this time, the door of the Osmanthus Tower suddenly opened and a dwarf came out of it. The dwarf is dressed in a gorgeous clothes, but such a luxurious dress does not show the dignity of the dwarf. On the contrary, it looks a little ridiculous. Especially the unattractive face, against the bright clothes, has a funny expression like a clown on the stage.

"Fathers and colleagues in the business world, everyone, please. In Wuzhi, the new owner of Guihua Building. I didn't expect everyone to come early. I was dealing with things, and Wu Song didn't report it in time. It's really slow. Please come first to use tea first. Wait a moment. Wu Dalang couldn't help holding his fist as he spoke, and his face was also full of a festive smile.

But Ximenqing looked at Wu Da like a monkey bowing to everyone under the gongs on the street, holding his fists in his hands, and even had the illusion of holding a gong in front of him to ask for copper coins. However, Wu Da is not a simple role. These words almost blame Wu Song for neglecting everyone. At the same time, they also give everyone a feeling that in the Wu family, he has the final say, and Wu Song should also obey him, so that everyone present can understand who he should please.

However, Ximen Qing believes that others think the same as him. Commercial power comes from legal power. If Wu Er, as a law enforcer, is not present, Guihua Tower may fall or change owners at any time. Buyers and sellers are always low-rate, and it is really difficult to have a reason to make others stand up.

With Wu Da's modesty, everyone entered the Guihua Building.

Although Ximenqing is not a regular visitor in the Guihua Building, he also comes occasionally. As soon as I came in, I found that it had been completely cleaned up, and the display and even decoration were very different, which was a higher level compared with the original Osmanthus Building. A cloister was built on the second floor, and tables and chairs were also placed on the cloister. This is like half of the theater, and you can also see the ceremony in the lobby on the second floor. It seems that the Wu family also knows a lot about this ceremony.

Ximenqing continued to walk in. There was a large table in the aisle with various gifts on it, and there was a special noteper and a presenter next to it. Every guest who comes in will leave his gift here, with the record of the gift maker, and then the attendant shouts out.

Fortunately, you can handle what you have prepared, or you will be ashamed among your peers if you shout like this.

When it was Ximen Qing's turn, he handed over the long box behind him. Open the box in front of everyone, which contains a more exquisite glazed gift box. The ginseng is embedded in the gift box, and against the glass, it is even more dazzling.

"This••••" The ceremonial officer obviously didn't know how to remember it and looked at his companion next to him.

"I heard that Second Master Wu was engaged, and the Guihua Building opened, so I specially sent the treasure of the town store, eight and a half heavy mountain ginseng." Ximenqing said these words desperately suppressing his excitement.

"The Ximen member gave eight taels of mountain ginseng to wish the second master Wu a hundred years of good luck with the sea sand girl!" The presenter's voice was loud, and the whole osmanthus building heard this shout.

Ximenqing felt the shine in everyone's eyes. Indeed, this ginseng is not small. What's more, he made it clear that it was given to Wu Song. Ximen Qing knows that there are two kinds of invitations sent this time, one is in the name of Wuhan University, most of which are for buyers and sellers, and the other is in the name of Wu Er. This kind of invitation is for people with face. According to the shopkeeper of the pharmacy, the county government official An Daoman received the second kind, and Ximenqing also learned from this. Ximenqing believes that others must have heard a little about the two invitations. Here, he said that the gift was given to Wu Song, which invisibly improved his status.

Ximenqing was proud, but he saw Wu Da's face looking at him ferociously. Humph, it doesn't matter, you little dwarf, whether you are a pancake seller or a shopkeeper of Guihualou, I, Ximen Qing, don't pay attention to you. Yes, ginseng is for Wu Song, not for you.

After the gift delivery, a clerk from Osmanthus Building came and led Ximenqing to a scattered seat in the lobby. This group of merchants are also sitting on the first floor, which is normal.

Ximen Qing just sat down in his seat and looked down to think about this matter. He felt a darkness in front of him, as if something was blocking the light. Looking up, it was Wu Song.

"Wu Dutou, in Ximenqing." Ximenqing held his fist and saluted. This is the first time that Ximenqing has talked to Wu Song head-on. Be sure to give Wu Song a good impression. Therefore, Ximenqing was very respectful.

"Outside from Ximen." Wu Song returned the salute: "These eight and a half ginsengs are so heavy that Wu Song can't stand it."

"It's serious. The sword is given to the hero. Unfortunately, I, Ximenqing, did not open a weapon shop. This ginseng is also a sword in medicinal materials, which is suitable for giving to Dutou." Ximen Qing has thought about this line for many days and practiced countless times, and now it is really full of pride.

"Ximen is indeed a cheerful person." Wu Song's face showed an expression of approval. Don't sit here outside. Sit down with Wu Song to the VIP seat in the upper cloister.

"If you follow the Lord, then it's better for me to obey than to obey." Ximen Qing did not refuse.

Hahaha, everything is the same as the plan. No, it's more perfect than planned. The wheel of fate, start turning
