Chapter 319 Gift List

Now that Yuanchang has been disrupted, it is only after the old fox like Gui Bugui can't guess what the monk will be next. Now, Yuanchang has left too many ways for him to leave. Unless he makes any moves, no one can guess what he will do next.

Originally, this group wanted to try their luck in Luoyang City, but after Gui Bugui guessed Yuanchang's plan, he lost the intention of going to Luoyang again. However, after finally coming out, no one wanted to go to the cave now. At this moment, they discussed it and decided to walk around from all over the world. Although they are still in troubled times, they will be unobstructed wherever they go.

In the next two or three months, the group began to wander around the Southern Dynasties. While they were traveling around, they were inquiring about news about Monk Yuanchang from the Sishui. Just like before, news about Monk Yuanchang appeared in both the north and south dynasties, but only heard the sound, but there was no real news about the monk. In the words of Gui Bugui: Now that Yuanchang doesn't come out by himself, no one can find him unless he uses the ancestors.

Although there were chaotic times, compared with the Xianbei Northern Dynasties, the Southern Dynasties were more prosperous and wealthy. After a trip to Jiankang and Jiangling, a generation like Jiangling had a desire to be happy and reluctant to leave. They even joined hands with Xiao Rensan to persuade them to buy a house in this Jiangnan water town and live here for 20 or 30 years. When will I get tired of it and go back to the cave?

Buying a house is really nothing to Gui Bugui, who always uses horseshoe gold to scare people. Moreover, his own cave is called a mansion, but it is actually a small cave. Gui Bugui was talking about food and pomp, but in the end he was really moved by his stupid son. He started to take the people from Sishui to find a house that he liked near Jiankang.

After searching for more than half a month, Gui Bugui found a big mansion in Jiankang City. The owner of this mansion is the son of an official who has lost his family. He is over fifty years old but has no children. He usually believes in Buddhism and gives most of his family property to the monks in the temple. He originally thought of sending this ancestral property to the temple, but he was worried that the ancestral house would be dilapidated and had no face, so he renovated the big mansion inside and out. Unfortunately, the Buddha forgot to bless him, and this man suddenly suffered a stroke on the day after the renovation of the mansion was completed.

As soon as the master died, the family was completely in chaos. In order to compete for this property, several nephews almost made trouble in the Southern Dynasty court. In the end, they finally divided the gold, silver and fines, leaving only this property. Because the house was said to be haunted in the early years, the locals in Jiankang did not buy it, and the outsiders could not afford it. In the end, Wu Mian, who passed by here, Gui Bugui and his party took a clever idea of ​​buying a house to the local Sishui manager. Three days later, the people of Sishui sent the deed and keys to Gui Bugui. After a few words of politeness, the old guy accepted it with a smile.

When these people moved in, the manager of Sishui had arranged for the housekeepers, servants and other people who served their daily life. They were afraid that Wu Mian would not be lucky, so the manager thought that the things of the masters were unlucky, so the manager threw away all the pots, pans and other utensils. They bought some of the housewares on the market first, and then they would make do with them. Later, there would be a batch of high-quality pottery, lacquerware and bronze utensils. The manager had intercepted some of them and would not be delivered to him after two or three months. My father was free and his father.

But ten days later, the manager found Gui Bugui with a strange expression. After sending the servants around him, he respectfully delivered a gift list to the old guy, and then said with a smile: "This is from our caravan of Sishui this morning. Those who named him a name were delivered to your mansion. I took a bold look and found that it was full of tributes from the court..."

When the manager was talking, Gui Bugui had already seen the things written on the gift list, a gold-plated animal foot copper cup, a red agate bowl with a relief of dragon patterns, a black-bottomed lacquer ware food box, and a white jade-based bronze mirror... There were more than 230 such items. Most people took out one at home and put it at home and it was a sin of losing their heads.

Taking advantage of Gui Bugui's attention to the gift list, the manager continued: "The tributes of the Southern Dynasty palace were run by our Sishui. Even the entire Southern Dynasty palace could not find all the treasures on the gift list. Think about it, did you offend anyone? They knew that you were all great monks and did not dare to take action face to face. I thought about such a way to borrow the hands of the Southern Dynasty, come..."

"You think too much, it's useless for anyone to borrow." Gui Bugui smiled and put away the gift list, and then said to the manager indifferently: "If that person wants to borrow the hands of us to destroy the Southern Dynasty. If he wants to use the Southern Dynasty to use hundreds of thousands of mortal bodies to deal with me, then his thoughts are not worth mentioning."

After saying that, Gui Bugui smiled and continued to say to the manager who was nodding and echoing: "They sent it with kindness, and they should be placed wherever they should be placed. The glass chamber pot was sent to my old man's room, and the gilded bronze cup was sent to Xiao Rensan..."

After instructing the manager to deliver the items that were pleasing to the people around him, Gui Bugui suddenly changed his mind and continued, "When you leave the mansion, go to the families across the street to see. If there are new ones coming in the past few days, come back and talk to the old man. Also, the servants you are looking for should also keep a close eye on them. See if they have met with some strangers after they get off work."

When he heard Gui Bugui's next few words, the manager thought that the old man suspected him and hurriedly explained: "These people were all found by villains, and their wealth was innocent..."

"I didn't say you, keep your heart in my stomach." Gui Bugui smiled, then took out the gift list again, and tore it in half without looking at it, handed half of the gift list to the manager, and continued with a smile: "As long as I said, all the things that I did, you will do it for you. Even if you do this, you can take action to live for a few lifetimes, right?"

The things on the gift list were in charge of the business. Now that he heard that the old man was going to give half of the treasures to himself, he felt dizzy, and his hands holding half of the gift list began to tremble slowly. Looking at the manager's appearance, Gui Bugui smiled and then continued: "Originally, I wanted you to check how many new faces have come to Jiankang City recently, but this is a bit difficult for you to do the Sishui number. Just do what the old man said just now, find out the neighbors around and the people in the mansion, and your children and grandchildren are still affected by your ancestors."

After hearing Gui Bugui's words, the manager stopped hesitating. After rushing to the old man's luggage, he hurriedly ran out. Looking at his back, Gui Bugui smiled. When he was about to go back to find his stupid son to relieve his boredom, he suddenly heard Wu Mian's voice behind him: "Who is blind? Will he flatter you with these things?"

"There are so many people in the world, there will always be one or two blind people." Gui Bugui smiled and looked back at Wu Mian, then handed the other half of the gift list in his hand to Wu Mian. After stewing it, he continued: "This gift list is also interesting. The things on it are similar to lacquerware and the things are today, but the rest are mixed with a lot of things from the Han Dynasty. Guess where these things come from?"

Wu Mian looked at the gift list and sneered, and said, "These come from the monk's temple, these are donated to the temple." At the beginning of Sima Jin, Buddhism became popular in the East. In the later chaotic times, even more so. There were royal relatives and nobles, and important officials of the princes and ministers who believed that they could create a beautiful life by sending their wealth to the temple to worship Buddha. Otherwise, Wu Mian would not have been able to obtain this house if he came to Wu Mian.

After Wu Mian finished speaking, he burned the gift list in his hand with a fire. Then he looked at the gift list that had turned into white dust and continued: "That person still doesn't give up. Do you think these things can really resolve the grudges?"

"It may not be the person you mentioned." Gui Bugui smiled and continued, "He is not that stupid..."
