Chapter 495: Playing the Limit

~11 min read 2,034 words

Quiet room.

Long Yao and Long Li organized all two treasure chests sent over.

Treasure fish in two tanks, red fish and white fish separated.

Treasure plants in two boxes, classified, one snake gallbladder.

Meridian Marrow Jade Liquid placed separately.

Four bottles before, plus three bottles today, a total of seven bottles. Condensing the foot meridians and torso meridians drank two bottles, leaving five bottles.

"Now I really don't know how to eat them."

Liang Qu sighed, took out the snake gallbladder, cut a piece with a green wolf, poured out the bile, and put it into an empty pottery jar together.

Out of the door.

"Xinglai!"

"What is it, Boss?"

"Run an errand for me in the city." Liang Qu threw out a large ingot of silver and handed over the pottery jar, "Go to the Drunken Immortal Building, buy twelve jars of Drunken Immortal Brew, and let the shopkeeper cut the snake gallbladder and soak it.

Remember, send three jars to my master, three jars to Heposuo Xu Tiling, and three jars to Ran Zuo-ling. Tell them to drink together. They came to my house for dinner last year, you've seen them.

Bring back the remaining three jars, and keep the rest of the money to spend yourself!"

Fan Xinglai recited it twice, confirming he remembered.

"Got it!"

"Remember to bring a coir raincoat! It's very overcast!"

"Understood!"

Half an hour later.

Fan Xinglai moved the wine jars into the house.

Liang Qu carried a jar of snake gallbladder wine to the east wing of the front yard and knocked on the door.

"Enter."

Pushed the door and entered.

Su Guishan was lying on a reclining chair, reading a book, his eyes slightly slanted.

"What?"

Liang Qu lifted the wine jar and placed it on the shelf: "Great-Uncle, Marquis Weining is really coming! What exactly should we do when the time comes?"

"I thought it was something else."

Su Guishan sat up, opened the drawer, touched it, and took out two letters with his index and middle fingers.

"Everything is prepared for you. Two letters, with red stamps, give them to Xu Yuelong, he will know what to do after reading them. The ones without red stamps, go to the Weng family and give them to the old man of the Weng family."

"Old man Weng?" Liang Qu took the envelope, couldn't help but confirm, "Great-Uncle, you mean the loose Jiang Zongshi, Weng Lijun?"

"Otherwise?" Su Guishan lay back on the long chair and picked up the book, "The Wu Sheng has arrived, you go remove your snake demons, I'll shovel my Guimu Sect, the two don't interfere with each other."

"Ah..." Liang Qu was shocked, "Great-Uncle, you are going to take action?"

Su Guishan put down the book again.

"More than a month, logically the injury should be mostly healed. The Wu Sheng's personal arrival is a good opportunity, just enough to give the seriously injured Weng Lijun an excuse to appear and be a bait.

I don't know if the Guimu Sect will bite the hook, but it is definitely a great opportunity not to be missed. If lucky, I will handle the matter with you, and I will take office openly."

Liang Qu was puzzled.

"The Guimu Sect knows the Wu Sheng is coming, do they dare to show their heads?"

"They definitely won't dare when the Wu Sheng is right in front of them, but you are going to welcome the Wu Sheng. Don't tell me you are really waiting for them to sail the boat to your face?

A group of commoners waiting for the new county magistrate, even on a rainy day, have to stand at the intersection for an hour or so.

If you really go to welcome Marquis Weining, Weng Lijun will at least go out to meet him from afar and wait for half an hour, right? This is a good piece of meat bait! It would be hard to miss this opportunity."

Liang Qu suddenly realized.

Timing, playing the limit.

Betting on the excitement.

Great-Uncle played so big without a sound.

"Kid will go now."

Just let Fan Xinglai run an errand.

In a blink of an eye, the offense and defense changed.

The world is truly a giant boomerang.

Liang Qu tucked the letter into his bosom, thought for a while, and brought the remaining two jars of snake gallbladder wine, taking them as a first-time meeting gift.

Riding on Chishan, he first went to the Heposuo to deliver the one with the red stamp.

Xu Yuelong saw the red-stamped letter, opened it, and read it, his eyes jumping between the letter and Liang Qu's face.

Half a moment later.

"Okay..."

Somewhat inexplicable.

Liang Qu touched his cheek, didn't dare to say much, and turned to run to the city.

The Weng family was not hard to find.

Located in the west of the city, the most extensive area of continuous mansions was the Weng family compound.

Leaning against a low mountain, they started large-scale construction more than a year ago.

Now, not counting those still under construction, it already had more than sixty acres, and it is said that the cost exceeded two hundred thousand taels of silver.

And counting those under construction, the entire area could reach more than one hundred and ten acres!

Even a fraction was bigger than Liang Qu's house.

In short, very exaggerated!

It shows that the Weng family is a very prosperous big family.

Riding to the destination, the first thing Liang Qu saw was the ten-foot-high wall, on which two people could walk side by side, quite like a city within a city.

What it looked like inside the "courtyard wall" couldn't be seen clearly, but there were uniform horse-tying stones at the entrance.

Roughly counting, thirty in total.

Each was as tall as a person, carved with full patterns, and a blocking stone was erected behind, carved with birds and beasts.

"Those who sell medicine are rich."

Chishan never needed to be tied, Liang Qu dismounted and let it move freely.

The gatekeeper saw that the visitor was handsome and upright, and the horse he rode was also extraordinary, so he didn't dare to neglect and stepped forward to ask.

"Don't know the lord's name, do you have a visiting card, who are you looking for?"

"Liang Qu! Looking for Weng Shaoping! Just say it's a friend coming to visit."

In May, he went to the Great Lake to fly kites, Liang Qu and Xu Zishuai's kites got tangled together, and the one he pulled down was Weng Shaoping, Weng Lijun's grandson, and the three fell into the water together.

Well, it could be considered a bit of friendship.

In such a big courtyard, finding someone familiar was somewhat convenient for handling things.

"I will go report, please wait a moment, my lord."

Only half a quarter of an hour.

The gatekeeper followed Weng Shaoping and chased out.

Weng Shaoping bowed respectfully: "To be called a friend by Liang brother, it is truly Shaoping's fortune!"

"Arrived for the first time, and didn't send a visiting card, sorry for the disturbance." Liang Qu took the wine jar from Chishan, "Feel bad, brought two jars of snake gallbladder wine as an apology."

"Liang brother is too polite, please come in."

Weng Shaoping was quite surprised; he really didn't expect Liang Qu to come to find him.

In the entire Pingyang Prefecture, with Liang Qu's prestige and potential, no matter who in which family saw him, they would all want to make friends.

There was no reason to turn him away.

Truly becoming friends with Liang Qu was also a good thing for the Weng family courtyard to have face and increase status.

With Weng Shaoping leading, Liang Qu was smooth all the way, entered the big courtyard, and felt everything was novel for a while.

Their three-entry courtyard was all one-story buildings, but in the Weng family courtyard, two-story buildings were everywhere, and some were even three stories.

But walking in, he didn't feel it was big at all, but felt "cramped."

This crampedness was not space, but vision.

Courtyard walls connected to courtyard walls, the line of sight was blocked, and what could be seen was just his own tiny courtyard.

Outsiders coming in were like walking in a maze.

It was not as spacious and comfortable as Liang Qu's own home.

However, he couldn't say it like that, Liang Qu was full of praise, and curiously asked how many courtyards the entire Weng family had.

Weng Shaoping laughed: "Divided into six big courtyards, containing twenty small courtyards, and more than three hundred rooms.

My Weng family is prosperous, with five uncles and uncles, followed by seven or eight children, plus the wife's family, just these three generations have nearly a hundred people, plus servants, attendants, and the fourth and fifth generation descendants..."

"The style of a big clan."

Honestly speaking, Liang Qu had never seen what a big clan looked like.

Pingyang Prefecture was originally Pingyang Town, and the biggest tycoon was the Yang residence, but it couldn't be called a clan.

Liang Qu had been invited to other families before, and many clansmen had only moved here recently, with many still remaining in Huaiyin County.

Today was the first time.

"Go, since Liang brother is interested, I will take you to the garden to see."

"Good!"

"Why did Shaoping brother bring a stranger home? He looks handsome."

Liang Qu looked up.

He had noticed someone observing him early on, but it was not easy to look around, so as not to offend the female family members. Only then did he find a woman lying on the wall asking questions, just about to be polite, but was pulled forward by Weng Shaoping.

"Tch~"

The woman on the wall curled her lips in disdain.

"Weng brother, this is..."

"My third cousin, don't pay attention to her." Weng Shaoping whispered, "Although as an older brother I shouldn't be like this, but she... is quite frivolous, and I have always heard that Liang brother is self-disciplined, better to have less contact..."

Hiss~

"Is her cultivation good?"

"Wolf Smoke Human Bridge, heaven-sent talent, otherwise she wouldn't be allowed to mess around and still live at home."

There are no fresh things in big families.

But for Liang Qu, hearing and seeing it for the first time, it broadened his horizons.

However, the woman just now, ordinary people would think she was quite beautiful, with a good face.

In Liang Qu's eyes.

Average.

Not as good as the dragon maidens.

Not to mention Long Eying, Long Yao and Long Li were far better.

Walking to the garden, the two strolled along the corridor, chatting about this and that.

After the pleasantries were almost done, Weng Shaoping took the initiative to ask: "Haven't asked Liang brother yet, what is the matter for finding me?"

Liang Qu took out the letter without the red stamp from his bosom: "There is a letter I want to give to Old Man Weng."

"This..." Weng Shaoping looked troubled, "My grandfather hasn't seen outside guests since April."

"Can you see him? I don't need to see Jiang Zongshi Weng in person, just need to transfer a letter and get a reply."

Liang Qu knew that Weng Lijun's serious injury should be true, and he didn't reveal Su Guishan's identity, so he probably couldn't see him in person.

But at least he needed a reply.

The red stamp was the official seal.

Without the red stamp, obviously Su Guishan felt that Weng Lijun would believe it after reading it, and the two sides should have long-term dealings and recognize each other's handwriting, so he could finish the task by getting a reply.

"I can't either." Weng Shaoping shook his head, "However, my father can. Shall I help you ask?"

Liang Qu cupped his hands: "Trouble, Weng brother."

"Small matter."

Turning around.

The sky began to drizzle.

Liang Qu paced in the hall, drank two pots of tea, and finally got the Jiang Zongshi's reply.

Opening it, there were only five big characters on it.
