Bureau of Anomalous Biological Countermeasures Chapter 304: ‘Xu Fu’ gift

A few days have passed since He Yan's incident, and the weather is slowly turning colder. It will be New Year's Day in one month. The old lady of the Shao family finally began to prepare to go to the capital. Although she did not bring a dowry of 100,000 taels of silver this time, she still brought a lot of southern specialties to Shao Suru. It's what she's used to, and she packs a big cart just to eat and drink local products.

When Mrs. Shao left Nanjing, she 'coincidentally' met Wu Mian, Gui Bugui and 'Xu Fu' who were also going to the capital. Through various incidents these days, the woman has guessed a little who the white-haired man is. But she didn't say anything, she just humbled Wu Mian's attitude a lot.

At the moment, the two teams of carriages merged into one team and set off for the capital in a mighty manner. The officials of the prefectures and counties who passed by along the way knew that the old owner of the Sishui and the relatives of Prince Yi Yunxiang were very attentive. Ordinary second-rank officials can't enjoy such a standard of reception.

The convoy finally arrived in the capital after more than 20 days of driving. After Yunxiang found out, he personally went out of the city ten miles to pick him up. It can be regarded as enough face for Wu Mian and return.

After returning to the capital, Wu Mian and Gui Bugui did not move to Yinhao. They lived in the mansion of Liu Xi and Sun Xiaochuan, which was the third shop of the Surabaya in the capital before, dealing with Western goods shipped from Guangdong. Later, Gui Bugui moved the shop to another place, and after cleaning up the place, the few of them moved to live there.

On the night of returning to the capital, Jia Shifang, who had already become a guest of the emperor's seat, came to the mansion with a gift from the emperor. After seeing Wu Mian and Gui Fugui, Jia Shifang saluted and said, "I heard that your elders have returned to Beijing during the day. Originally, I should have gone to greet Shifang outside the city. However, the emperor suffered from evil energy last night, and his body was hot. It's scary, Shifang, I'll stay in the palace to get rid of the evil spirits for the emperor. His Majesty came here in a hurry after the fever subsided."

After hearing this, Guibugui smiled and said, "Shifang, you are no longer an alchemist, you should be a doctor. Did the emperor seal you any official position?"

"When Suru and Yunxiang's marriage was decided, the emperor had already awarded a second-class earl title, and later, Shifang will also hand over the affairs of the inner guard." Jia Shifang did not hide it, and rushed After smiling at Wu Mian, Gui Bugui and 'Xu Fu', they continued: "I have already declined several times, but the emperor said that he only has a brother who is close to Yunxiang. Shifang is also Yunxiang's husband. An errand like the inner guard can only be left to one's own people. The emperor has already said this for the sake of it, and I can't say it if I don't agree to it..."

When talking about this, Jia Shifang paused for a while, and then continued with a little complacent: "Listen to what Your Majesty said, when I am in charge of the inner guard, the title will be promoted three times in a row, and I will reward a duke's title. If that's the case, Shifang is not talented, he is the first alchemist to sit on the duke's title after Dafang Shi."

When the alchemist profession was at its peak, the emperors were all about to confer the title of Dafangshi. All the great masters of the past dynasties held the position of the guardian of the country, which is equivalent to the duke, but in addition to the great master, Jia Shifang was the first 'alchemist' who had the opportunity to be named a duke.

Glancing at Jia Shifang, who was smiling and smiling, he smiled and said, "I want to congratulate you, old man. After you become a duke, no one dares to say that Su Ru married Yunxiang. I still want to remind you, old man, that companions are like companions to tigers, you have served two great masters. You should know this truth.”

Jia Shifang said with a smile: "This Shifang naturally understands, but looking at the face of your elders, even if the emperor has any dissatisfaction with Shifang, he will always forgive him."

At this time, Wu Mian glanced at the son-in-law of his designated descendant, and said, "Okay... go back and see your wife and children, your wife's lifespan is approaching, you have to prepare early... …”

Hearing the words of the white-haired man, Jia Shifang sighed. At the beginning, he calculated the fate of his wife, and after the New Year, she should almost reach the end of her life. Originally, Jia Shifang wanted to use the stone to extend his wife's life, but Wu Mian stopped him. According to the words of the white-haired man, the women of the Shao family are already rich and noble. If they live long, they will arouse jealousy... After all, they are not immortal, so they will live their lives according to their natural lifespan. That's it.

After Jia Shifang agreed, he continued: "Shifang is ready, we will be a husband and wife, and we will not let her go deserted..."

Seeing this topic, I can't go on, so Gui Bugui said to Jia Shifang, "You've been in the palace for a day, and you haven't come home yet? Go back and see your wife and children, your wife is different. It's like a different person now. Let's go back and have a look..."

Jia Shifang has written letters with his wife, and he has already sensed the change in his wife from the lines of the letter. After hearing that Guiwugui meant seeing off guests, Jia Shifang saluted, then left here and returned to his house.

After Jia Shirenfang left, Gui Bugui glanced at Wu Mian and said, "No wonder the officialdom is deep like the sea, Shifang was a good kid before, how did he become a small earl, he seems to have changed It's like. He used to be a disciple of the volcano, but I can't see it at all..."

"It's human nature, it's nothing." At this time, 'Xu Fu', who had been watching the excitement, said something. Then the 'Dafang Shi' laughed softly and continued: "However, there is also a death sentence on Jia Shifang's face. If it's not good, it should be about taking over the inner guard."

"That's his life. I put my life in the hands of others, and I can't help myself." Wu Mian was far less concerned about the son-in-law of his descendants than the women of the Shao family. After saying a word slowly, He turned his head towards Guibugui and said, "Old guy, my descendants are getting married, you won't say anything at all, right?"

"How is that possible? As long as the women of the Shao family dare to accept it, the Surabaya will be given to them." After returning to the home with a laugh, he continued: "The shops of the Beijing Sishui will be..."

"Don't want that..." Wu Mian interrupted him before he could finish speaking. After a pause, the white-haired man continued: "The box that was given to...her before, give it to her descendants."

I understand what Wu Mian meant. The first great master Yan Aihou once left some relics to his daughter. These things were packed in a box. Later, due to various things, before they had time to hand them over, Zhao Wenjun, the reincarnated daughter of Marquis Yanai, had already lost his mind. After so many years, Wu Mian brought out the box again, and it seemed that it was time to hand over the box.

The relic was originally kept by one of the gods of the master of Wentian, and later returned to the hands of Wu Mian and Gui Bugui. It has been kept in a separate underground palace on Fortune Island for so many years...

"If you didn't say anything, I almost forgot about that box..." After Kuibugui smiled, he forgot the days, and shook his head and said, "The wedding of Suru, the sixth day of the first lunar month, is now shipped from the God of Fortune Island. It will be too late to come back. In this way, this box will be a gift from Suru’s daughter. It will be handed over to her by then.”

"Are you talking about the remains of Marquis Yan Ai?" 'Xu Fu' glanced at the two of them, then smiled and said, "Don't look at me like a thief, how long can I live? No matter how good the treasure is, it is of no use to me...but your descendants get married, can I not be empty-handed?"

Hearing that 'Xu Fu' meant courtesy, Wu Mian looked up and down this 'Dafang Shi', but couldn't really guess what he could give. Said: "You don't want the old guy to borrow money to give gifts, and then let another Xu Fu pay them back?"

"My name is also Xu Fu, how can you do such a thing?" After 'Xu Fu' laughed, he took out a small box from his arms, handed it to Wu Mian, and continued: " I'm no better than that big rich man, I don't have anything of value, if you don't like it, give it back to me..."
