Formal negotiation with the eldest elder of the Yang family, two identity badges
In the teahouse, under Qin Ruqing's smiling gaze, Yang Wenxu moved his butt slightly uncomfortably.
"Miss Qin is really here to visit Xiling this time?"
According to normal people's logic, this statement must be nonsense. Xiling is so far away. Which child of aristocratic family would go to such a desert area to visit after eating a lot? That place is bare and there is nothing to visit. Could it be that they are here to watch the ball rolling on the grass?
But Yang Wenxu thought about it carefully and felt that it was quite appropriate to apply this abnormal logic to Miss Qin.
That day in the Qin Family Alchemy Workshop, her behavior was strange in every way. This is a strange person, so it's not strange that she does strange things!
Qin Ruqing didn't care what Yang Wenxu thought, and said casually while playing with the cup: "I said, what's wrong with sightseeing? Sandboarding in the desert is so fun... Hey, what's the name of that kind of device that is a skateboard and people can step on it and control the direction with reins?"
This beautiful sister stepped on that kind of skateboard-like walking device, the wind lifted her gauze skirt to reveal her wheat-colored thighs, and the way she whizzed through the desert made Qin Ruqing deeply impressed. How hot! If possible, she would also like to do the whole thing.
Yang Wenxu was confused for a moment. Could it be that they really came here for sightseeing? The little kids who grew up in the oasis area found this place strange? He still explained: "It's called a sand board, a simple spiritual tool that can slide on the desert. It doesn't take much effort to slide down. You only need to inject spiritual energy to go uphill, and use reins to control the direction. It can be used as a simple means of transportation, but it is not suitable for long-distance walking. If Miss Qin likes it, I can give Miss Qin a few. It's not worth much money."
Qin Ruqing: "I like it, I like it, it's best to give four!"
Yang Wenxu: "...Well, okay."
Qin Ruqing looked at his face and laughed for some reason. She was not casual to talk about this for such a long time. She really thought she had so much to say to this person she had only met once.
In Xiling, you still have to rely on a family to do things. It's just that the Tang family is not easy to visit. Among the remaining families, Qin Ruqing has had some contact with the Yang family. When she first met him, she felt that Yang Wenxu was a man of integrity.
However, you can never know a person's true heart through his appearance, so she needed to try a few more times.
She had said so much just to see Yang Wenxu's reaction. If he showed an impatient look, Qin Ruqing would not mind changing to another company.
At this moment, seeing that he was patient and considerate, she changed the subject and said, "It's true that we are here for sightseeing, but... besides sightseeing, we can do other things. For example, we can have a cross-mountain cooperation or something."
Cross-mountain cooperation! Yang Wenxu was excited when he heard these four words. He leaned forward and wanted to say something immediately, but he held back and said politely: "I wonder if the Yang family can have the honor to cooperate with the Qin family?"
Qin Ruqing: "Daoyou, are you afraid that I am fooling you? After all, I am young, and I am afraid that a few words can't represent the Qin family."
Yang Wenxu certainly knew whether he could represent the Qin family.
Under normal circumstances, such a large number of orders that day would need to be handled by the Danfang manager, who would then check and inspect the goods before shipping them. If you want some discounts, that would be even more incredible, because the amount is huge, and giving up a little profit would cost a lot of spirit stones. The manager can't make the decision, and he has to report it to the elders to handle it. With Yang Wenxu's many years of experience in traveling around the country, there would be some disputes.
As a result, when the matter came to Miss Qin, she approved it so casually and frivolously. She said 20% off, and she didn't even say a word to the manager of the alchemy shop.
Yang Wenxu even felt that even if she gave him the order for free, no one in the Qin family would say anything. This is at least the status and right to speak that only people at the level of elders can have, Yang Wenxu is very sure.
Although this sounds a bit absurd, Yang Wenxu is in charge of caravan transportation, going back and forth between various regions and mountains, and he has heard a lot of rare and absurd things. He even heard that a ten-year-old girl was the head of the clan. That was really confusing. What is this for the Qin family?
He immediately said solemnly: "I know whether Miss Qin can represent the Qin family. Even if we don't cooperate with the Qin family and only cooperate with the young lady, it is still possible!"
Wow! What a quick and easy flattery!
Qin Ruqing was amused, nodded, and asked directly, "I still have a say in the Qin family, what about you? Do you have a say in the Yang family?"
Yang Wenxu did not hide it, and immediately said: "I am the third son of the Yang family. The patriarch of the Yang family, Yang Wenming, is my elder brother, and I am responsible for managing the Yang family's external caravan transportation." Qin
Ruqing: "Then you are at least an elder, not bad."
One of the main businesses of the Yang family is caravan transportation. He is in charge of one of the matters, which shows that he has real power.
Yang Wenxu had never received such straightforward compliments, but Miss Qin's compliments were sincere and not meant to make fun of him. His face immediately warmed up and he said, "I don't deserve the name
of the elder. I just said a few words in the Yang family." "But," Qin Ruqing's lips curled up slightly, "I'm afraid what I'm going to talk to the Yang family about next has nothing to do with caravan transportation. What I want to talk about is the Yang family's auction house."
Auction house. Yang Wenxu's face tightened subconsciously. The auction house has a special status in the hearts of the Yang family. He said frankly, "Indeed, I don't care about the auction house."
Qin Ruqing smiled and said nothing.
Yang Wenxu was also good at reading people's expressions. He understood immediately that he was not in charge of the auction house, and Miss Qin wanted to use this to test the attitude of the Yang family.
If the Yang family had no sincerity in cooperating and looked down on her because she was young, she could naturally turn around and look for the Lin family. The Lin family's Linmu Auction House was the second largest in Xiling, second only to the Fifth Auction House under the Xianpin Bureau.
Then he said, "I know what Miss Qin is worried about. Let's not talk about business today. I will invite the elder of the Yang family who is in charge of the auction house to come another day, and then we can have a serious discussion. Okay?"
Qin Ruqing chuckled, "That's good. Then I will chat with fellow Daoist Yang today, and ask about the sightseeing in Xiling. Is there any place in Xiling with nice scenery?"
"Call me Brother Yang. Xiling..."
...
In the teahouse opposite, Tang Zifeng and the others were sitting by the window, looking at the direction of Qin Ruqing across the street. She was also sitting by the window, and she could just see half of her profile from here.
Seeing Tang Zifeng staring at the opposite side, Lu Wei thought he was worried, so she couldn't help but comfort him, "Don't worry, Brother Tang, Xiaowu is very good at dealing with this kind of situation."
It is said that when Xiaowu was in the meeting hall, she often quarreled with the elders in the hall, often fighting ten people at once, but no one could beat her. Now that only the Yang family is there, it can be seen that Xiaowu is able to deal with it easily and without any pressure.
Tang Zifeng calmly withdrew his gaze and hummed. He was not worried, but he could see Qin Ruqing's smiling face from here, thinking that she might be scheming again.
Qirong took a bite of the Xiling special fairy fruit. It was called fairy fruit, but it was actually a cake made from cactus fruit. Different from the soft and fluffy snacks of Nanling, this fairy fruit was a bit choking. Qirong drank a few sips of water and finally swallowed it down. Then he said, "How did my sister get the Yang family badge?"
Lu Wei smiled and said, "That day when I was in the clinic, I happened to meet this Yang family member. He came to my clinic to buy pills, and Xiaowu happened to be next to him. She was also free. I guess she thought this man was strange, so she helped him to close the deal, and later gave him a discount. I guess that Yang family member gave her the badge for this reason."
Qirong suddenly realized, "So that's how it is. My sister is so lucky. She can easily meet a useful person."
Tang Zifeng smiled silently and thought, that's not luck. With her insight, she must have seen from the beginning that the group was from Xiling. It was not easy to cross the mountains and ridges in Xiling, and most of the caravans that could go out to buy pills in bulk were from aristocratic families. She saw this and deliberately gave them a discount.
Otherwise, who could get money from her?
Holding the teacup in his hand, Tang Zifeng said, "The man who gave her the badge is Yang Wenxu, the third son of the Yang family. He is warm, hospitable and loyal. I have never heard of him having any bad reputation. He should be reliable."
Lu Wei nodded and glanced at the opposite window casually. Seeing that Xiaowu had stood up, she said, "They should have negotiated and will come over in a while. Brother Tang, you..."
When they discussed it before, Xiaowu said that it would be better for Brother Tang not to show up now, so as not to alarm the Tang family.
Tang Zifeng understood and immediately took out a black robe and put it on himself. In this way, he became a black wooden stake again.
Lu Wei smiled when she saw this look. Qi Rong, in a somewhat curious manner, walked around Tang Zifeng for a while and said, "Brother Tang, my sister once told me that you have a good-looking face, but your aesthetic sense is not very good. You like to dress darkly and act mysterious."
Tang Zifeng put on the mask, and both the mask and the face under the mask were expressionless as he said, "Do you dare to say this to her face?"
Qi Rong chuckled and shook his head, "Well, I'm not stupid. If I say the bad things she said in front of my sister, and use her words to destroy her image as a fairy, she will beat me."
Lu Wei's smile suddenly deepened, and the wooden stake standing in front of her seemed to exude a strange atmosphere. Qi Rong turned around as if he had sensed something, and saw his sister standing behind him. When he turned around, he raised his fist with a smile, "Rong Qiu'er, you still know that I will help you!"
Qi Rong seemed to be frightened, and bounced to the corner of the wall, "Sister, pay attention to your female fairy image!"
Qin Ruqing put down her fist and snorted, originally just to scare him. When she turned around, she secretly glared at the seemingly innocent wooden stake next to her. Don't think she doesn't know that this person just saw her enter the door and deliberately guided Qi Rong to say that sentence.
Tang Zifeng is also a big sultry with a bad heart!
Yang Wenxu also followed her over, and it was not easy to speak without her introduction. Qin Ruqing walked over and introduced them to Yang Wenxu, "These are my brother and sister. You have also met my sister."
Lu Wei smiled at him, and Yang Wenxu instantly remembered her dignified and sweet temperament, "Is she the doctor who worked in the clinic that day?" Seeing Lu Wei nod, he smiled and bowed his hands in greeting.
Qin Ruqing pointed to the dark wooden stake and said, "This is... a friend of mine."
Yang Wenxu was also a perceptive person, and he didn't ask any more questions. His friend smiled at the wooden stake as a greeting.
After a while of greeting, Yang Wenxu was ready to leave. "Miss Qin, I have already given you the communication jade slip. If you are convenient someday, just let us know and I will ask the chief elder of my clan to come and discuss formally with you."
This person spoke very nicely, just saying that it depends on the time that Qin Ruqing is convenient. Then the Yang family will completely follow Qin Ruqing.
Qin Ruqing didn't say much, but smiled and nodded. Yang Wenxu bowed to Qirong and the others again, and then left.
After he left, Lu Wei asked: "Why, did you say anything?"
Qin Ruqing sat down casually, "I just saw what I can say for the second time. Even if there are good things, it is impossible to bring them out. You have to see their attitude."
He glanced at several petal-shaped snacks on the table, one of which was bitten, and asked curiously: "What is this?"
Qirong blinked, "Prickly pear fruit."
Oh, prickly pear fruit? What good thing dares to use the word "immortal"?
"Is it delicious?"
"...Yeah."
Qin Ruqing couldn't hold back her curiosity and greed. She twisted a piece, sniffed it, took a bite, chewed it, and suddenly her eyes widened, as if a thick piece of cement was stuck in her throat. He swallowed it hard and started drinking water.
After finally going down, Qin Ruqing stood up and began to roll up his sleeves, "Qirong! I think your skin is itching!"
...
Two days later, Qin Ruqing and the eldest elder of the Yang family met in the same teahouse.
Unlike the elder of our family, who had a sage-like style, the eldest elder of the Yang family had a dark face, a beard, and was tall and strong. Standing in front of Qin Ruqing, he looked like a small mountain, and people could tell at a glance that he was a physical cultivator.
He treated Qin Ruqing very politely, and did not look down on her because of her young age. After sitting down, he said seriously: "When Wenxu told me yesterday that Miss Qin was visiting, I was very excited and wanted to come and see you immediately."
The eldest elder of the Yang family looked fierce, but he gave people a very kind feeling, just like this vast desert, with a kind of broad and majestic aura. Therefore, Qin Ruqing did not act naughty to the Great Elder of the Yang Family, but was humble and polite, and said with a smile: "With the status of the Great Elder in the Yang Family, why would you be excited to meet a junior like me?"
"Status," the Great Elder savored the word, and then looked at Qin Ruqing seriously and said: "With the current decline of our Yang Family, even if you are the Great Elder, what status do you have?"
"Although our Xiling is closed, our Yang family is a little different. We are in charge of caravan transportation and travel far and wide on weekdays, so we know more about the news from the outside world. Now the Qin family has built three foundations and is very prosperous. The ancestor of the noble family is young, and the future is bright. If it weren't for the different generation between me and the young lady, I should have bowed when we met just now, so that the young lady could see my enthusiasm and promote the cooperation between the Qin and Yang families."
These words were so sincere that even Qin Ruqing couldn't help but like this gentle black-faced uncle.
She thought about it, and two things appeared in her hand. They were two blue-black waist badges of unknown material.
Qin Ruqing put the first waist badge on the table, smiled and said, "My name is Ruqing, this is my identity card."
The elder looked at the waist card. The familiar pattern engraved on the front made him hiss. He quickly turned to the back and saw the name at the bottom, Ruqing.
The elder was surprised and said, "This is actually an elder's identity card."
Yes, the reason why the elder felt familiar was because he also had an identity card of the same material and model. The elder seats of the aristocratic families must be registered by the Xianpin Bureau, and people like clan leaders and ancestors must be registered in a special list. Such identity cards are issued by the Xianpin Bureau and used for cooperation between aristocratic families to clearly indicate their identities. Otherwise, anyone can pretend to be an aristocratic family. That's not a joke. The identity card
in front of him is the real thing, an elder card issued specifically by the Xianpin Bureau. The elder can sense it with a scan with his spiritual sense, and there is no mistake. The only difference is that the inscription on the card shows the area as "Nanling", and there is no clear elder seat engraved on the back of the card.
"Could it be that Miss Ruqing is really an elder of the Qin family?"
Qin Ruqing seemed to smile a little shyly and said, "It's okay, but I haven't attended yet, so there is no seat engraved on the back of the card."
Not attending means that there is no serial number. Normally, there are as many elders as there are in the family. Some top families can have more than ten elder seats.
Qin Ruqing thought that if she could build the foundation this time, when she returned to the Qin family, she should be able to engrave the word "six" on the back of this card.
Then should she call herself the Qin family's fifth or sixth child?
Qin Ruqing was distracted, and the eldest elder was simply surprised and speechless. After Yang Wenxu's narration, he already knew that Qin Ruqing was highly regarded in the Qin family and was suspected to have the status of an elder. However, being an elder does not mean that she can get an identity card. These are two completely different concepts.
The elder card must be registered and certified by the Xianpin Bureau. So, the Xianpin Bureau also recognizes her status as an elder?
The elder was still digesting this matter, and Qin Ruqing took out another waist card. The same blue-black color, this identity card is much larger than the previous elder card, and the engraved patterns are much more complicated.
"The elder should also recognize this card. Bringing out the main card may cause trouble, so I only brought out the secondary card."
The elder opened his mouth and couldn't find a sound for a long time. "Bringing out the main card may cause trouble." Of course it will cause trouble, because this is the identity card of the ancestor of the Qin family.
Qin Ruqing put the two cards side by side, pushed them in front of the elder, and said in a shocking voice: "Two identity cards, one is to show the identity, and the other is to show the sincerity of cooperation."
This sincerity is indeed quite convincing. The black-faced elder of the Yang family slowly exhaled, and without saying much, he simply said: "Miss Qin, tell me, what do you want the Yang family to do?"
Qin Ruqing put away the two cards, replaced them with another object, and said solemnly: "I want the Yang family to auction this thing at the auction house."
Pushed a jade bottle in front of the elder. The elder hesitated and opened the stopper of the jade bottle. A strange elixir fragrance came out. Just smelling it, the spiritual energy in the body unexpectedly felt unobstructed.
"This..." The elder seemed to have sensed something, and his heartbeat began to beat wildly uncontrollably.
Qin Ruqing smiled: "Just as the name says, this pill can speed up the circulation of spiritual energy and has the effect of clearing the mind and improving eyesight. After taking one pill, the effect lasts for about three days, and it can be used for a long time with almost no side effects." After all, the main ingredient is spiritual milk, which can be used by children in the spiritual cultivation period.
The elder actually stood up!
The residents of Xiling suffered from the fire poison, and the circulation of spiritual energy was stagnant. The effect of this pill was to speed up the circulation of spiritual energy and also have the effect of clearing the mind and improving eyesight. It was like a pill specially tailored for the situation of Xiling monks!
"What the young lady said is true!"
"If the elder doesn't believe it, you can take one yourself and try it."
The elder hesitated for a moment, but still opened the jade bottle and poured out a pill. It was not that he didn't trust what Qin Ruqing said, but he really wanted to experience the feeling of smooth spiritual energy circulation.
After taking one pill, the spiritual energy seemed to start to circulate spontaneously, and then it became faster and faster. The stagnation caused by the fire poison that had been lingering in the body seemed to disappear. It is difficult to describe this light and free feeling, as if a person who has run ten miles suddenly unloaded a thousand pounds of weight from his body.
The black-faced elder closed his eyes to experience it for a while, and when he opened his eyes again, the look he gave Qin Ruqing was frighteningly bright.
He immediately said, "How many of these pills do you have left,
young lady? My Yang family wants them all, and you can name your price!" Even saying "you can name your price" was like saying go ahead and kill me, which showed the excitement in the elder's heart and his determination to win.
Qin Ruqing shook her head under the expectant gaze of the black-faced elder.
"My request is that the Yang family sell this pill at the auction and publicize it widely. There is no idea of selling it privately for the time being."
Seeing that the great elder was about to say something, Qin Ruqing said before him: "I know that the Yang family will not disappoint the Qin family in terms of price, but it is not because of the price."
"The Qin and Yang families are originally cooperating across the mountains this time. They don't know each other well enough. Sincerity cannot be proved no matter how much you say. It is better to cooperate once. After all, there will be two. I am here and can fully represent the Qin family. Why should the great elder be in a hurry?" The
great elder was quieted down by what he said. After a while, he said with shame: "It is the young lady who is thoughtful, but I am impatient."
Qin Ruqing looked at the great elder . The elder nodded slightly with a look of regret on his face, "I remember that the Yang family auction house hasn't sold any rare items for a long time. Although there are no famous people who have this vitality pill, it is still rare in Xiling. Why don't the Yang family take advantage of this opportunity to create momentum? Isn't it much more effective than directly buying a few bottles of pills?"
Generally, as long as the other party she sincerely cooperates with doesn't play tricks, it will at least be a win-win result. It is much better for the Yang family to use this pill to gain reputation than to eat it directly.
Sure enough, the elder figured out the secret quickly, and his face seemed a little hot. He was so surprised and anxious to see such a pill that he suddenly saw it that he forgot that putting the pill on the auction to sell it and enhance the reputation of his own auction house is the way to maximize benefits.
The black-faced elder sincerely sighed: "I was confused before, but now I have a vague understanding of why the young lady was able to get the elder identity card."
Qin Ruqing smiled and did not ask him what he understood. The card was naturally prepared for her by the ancestor in advance. If she wanted, she could also ask for her father's secondary card. Then she could go out with three cards on her body to fool people, hehe...
After that, they talked about some auction matters. When it was time to leave, Qin Ruqing suddenly remembered something and asked about Xiao Fukong.
"By the way, Great Elder, I heard that your Xiao Fukong is controlled by the Xianpin Bureau. I wonder if there are any rules for the entry quota?"
"Little Floating Space?" The elder was surprised at first, and then suddenly realized, "No wonder the young lady came to Xiling, it must be for the Little Floating Space Secret Realm?"
Qin Ruqing smiled and didn't explain much.
The elder said: "I wonder if the young lady knows that the Little Floating Space controlled by the Immortal Product Bureau is only eligible for entry by aristocratic families, and if people from outside the domain want to enter the Little Floating Space, they must first rely on a certain aristocratic family and obtain the family's entry quota before they can enter."
Qin Ruqing's smiling face froze slightly. Fuck
, outsiders are actually restricted from entering, and they have to rely on aristocratic families? ! Tang Zifeng didn't tell her that the paralyzed face pressure!
The elder said gently, "If the young lady wants to enter the small floating space, my Yang family can definitely help, right? We can make some adjustments and allow one or two places for the young lady. It's totally possible."
But there are four of us!
Qin Ruqing curled the corners of her mouth and smiled with a mask, "Don't worry, I'll see when the time comes."
The elder glanced at her and nodded a little strangely.
-Three
days later, the long-silent Yang's auction house suddenly broke the news.
The Yang family is going to auction three sets of pills that can speed up the circulation of spiritual energy at their auction house, and sincerely invites all tribes in Xiling to participate!
Although the Yang family has declined, it used to be an old and large family. When this statement came out, the whole Xiling was shocked.
Pills that can speed up the circulation of spiritual energy? Could it be that the old Yang family's auction house is failing and they are putting up some gimmick to impress the public?
I have never heard of such a medicine. And even if it exists, how can the now declining Yang family get it?
But no matter how people don't believe it, the Yang family has already started to build momentum for the auction in seven days. They can't help but hesitate, could it be... true?
Thinking of this, their hearts can't help but get excited.
If it's fake, they will take off the roof of the Yang family's broken auction house. If it's true... is there such a good thing? !
