Chapter 20: This Woman Is Master's
After hearing this, the old bustard was overjoyed, and hurriedly named the man who said that the free boy had the highest bid, five thousand silver dollars.
As soon as these words fell, he looked at Chen Gongzi expectantly, wondering how much he would bid?
"Six thousand!"
Chen Si blurted out that it rose by a thousand, and the people around him couldn't help but sigh that this noble son really made a generous move, and couldn't help but sweat for that carefree life.
But seeing that Chen Si's bidding tone was so indifferent, thinking that these thousands of silver coins were not a problem, he couldn't help but look at me in front of him with a smug face, and it was difficult for him to pretend to be respectful and polite, I felt funny when I looked at it.
"Brother Xiaoyao, Chen Sichang heard that everyone in the capital praises his brother for his grace and talent, there must be many people who admire you, right?!"
The implication of this benevolent brother is: You already have so many women, and you are not inferior to Miss Suzhu, right?
Hey, hey, what a trick to draw inferences from one another, these four or two thousand pounds of skills are really learned, I know that his romantic account is counted on my head, even if I am indeed suave, not as good as Your Excellency!
"Hehe, Brother Chen, the so-called fair lady, a gentleman. I have admired Miss Suzhu for a long time, this capital is known to passers-by, the thousand taels of silver and Huangtian stone engraving is my gift to Miss Suzhu to meet and love. It's me who wants to ask Brother Chen to fulfill it!"
I still looked at Chen Si with a smile, his face was red with anger. In a blink of an eye, he glanced at the old bustard, and shouted coldly:
"Seven thousand!"
Boy~ Stay where you are cool!
"You ......"
Chen Si was a little angry, and he almost fell for my trick again, and his love was out of control again. He can learn to be obedient this time, and he has nothing to do with the overall situation, and the person who laughs last is the one who laughs the best!
"Eh~ Brother Xiaoyao's words are wrong. Boasting that there is no double color in the world, monopolizing the first spring in the world, this bamboo girl is like a peony blooming gorgeous, so beautiful, how can you let my brother monopolize it!"
Eight thousand......
These eight thousand exits, I already clearly feel that the other party is a little lacking in qi. And the little guy who had been waiting nearby, was also sweating profusely and looking at his son-in-law nervously, and he was about to scream.
In fact, my smile has stiffened, and if I continue like this, the price I have to pay is not as simple as bankruptcy!
Things have developed so far, and I don't know whether I paid such a big price to help the Suzhu girl, or whether I want to calm the indignation in my chest!
I just heard that Chen Si compared the bamboo girl to a peony, the flowers are gorgeous, and she is arrogant, you can know that he is also like those laymen, only knowing that this flower is gorgeous, but it is difficult to withstand the destruction of the cold wind, and the flower ears of wealth and wealth.
Miss Suzhu's such a thin temperament is really not suitable for her!
I beg your pardon for agreeing with this. In my opinion, it is better to hold the incense branches and grow old, not to dance with the yellow leaves and autumn wind, and to be thin and clear of the chrysanthemum, which is more suitable for the character of the Suzhu girl!"
I've never been one to give up easily, and now that things have come to this point, what else is there to worry about?
Nine thousand!
As soon as these words came out, the whole hall was shocked, followed by a death-like silence. I don't know who pounced, and fell to the ground with a muffled sound.
The old bustard was also frightened by this situation, and he didn't know whether to be happy or worried, and he suddenly saw someone fall to the ground, and he was also startled, this drunken fairy building has not seen a guest faint on the spot because of the competition for the gift of combing!
Looking over there, it was a chubby man, and he immediately gave his subordinates a look, and said:
"What's wrong with the pestle there, hurry up and let people carry the guests down for medical treatment!"
If this person dies in the Drunken Immortal Building like this, then he has to make a big deal about it, and the old bustard is also afraid this time, the more money the better, but if he even has to take his life, it will be worth the loss.
Only then did the subordinates react, and three or four people hurriedly ran over and carried the man out......
I secretly complained in my heart, knowing that it was Yang Anyuan who fainted to death, this time, it can be regarded as a miserable death!
This Chen Si's face was already bruised, and the hands in his sleeves were no longer bloodless.
He also knows the rules of this drunken immortal building, participates in the bidding, respects integrity, has no regrets, and does not take credit for both silver and goods. If you regret it afterwards or fail to pay the bid on the spot, not only will you be beaten out with a stick, but you will no longer have a place in this capital in the future!
As the old saying goes: one blow, then decline, three and exhaustion!
Now is the time to deliver the final blow, and it's up to you to win or lose.
"Chen Si, you listen to the master, that woman is the master's, since it is the master's woman, no one, his master's can't be snatched away!"
I suddenly seemed to be crazy, and shouted out loudly regardless of Qiē, that momentum, but it was really a master!
This shocked everyone present, even Chen Si was stunned by me, and the sound of Miss Suzhu's piano also stopped abruptly at this time......
The echo wandered back and forth in the lobby several times, and when it reached my ears, I didn't even blush, but in order to retain my morale, I had to pretend to hold my head high, and look like I was undefeated.
But the maids who had been waiting for the side suddenly hid their faces and laughed a few times, they all felt that although this person's words were a little vulgar, he was handsome and talented, and he was affectionate, and he was so a man, they were all a little envious that Miss Suzhu could be matched by such a lover.
Most of the guests in the hall were northern men, and they all had a rough and heroic side in their personalities, and this time they also came to cheer and shout for me.
I waved my hand, thank you for cheering me on, and when everyone finally calmed down, I looked at Chen Si with confidence to see if he dared to shout the "10,000"!
Seeing that Chen Si was being bullied so miserably, how could he have any demeanor and forbearance, he almost rushed over and strangled me to death with an angry face, this look is planning to burn the jade!
Seeing that his "10,000" was about to blurt out, the Suzhu girl, who had been silent, suddenly spoke up.
"The two sons will stop here, and listen to Su Zhu's words!"
The voice of this bamboo girl was so pleasant that I couldn't help but feel moved. Chen Si didn't seem to expect Miss Suzhu to intervene suddenly, and he was also stunned, but he couldn't lose his honor in front of the beauty, so he hurriedly restrained himself.
"The two sons treat Su Zhu with deep affection, and Su Zhu is grateful in his heart, but he needs to be cautious in doing things, think more about decision-making, and don't be impulsive, so as not to regret it in the future!"
When Chen Si heard this, he hurriedly stood up, chatted heartily, and said:
"Miss Suzhu, I have been thinking about the girl for a long time, if I can get the girl's care, I am willing to die, this heart can be learned, the sun and the moon can be watched!"
I couldn't help but sneer a few times, muttering to myself, this kid wouldn't have said such a thing to every woman, would he?
It's hard to last......
......
Su Zhu was silent for a moment, and then said:
"Mom~ Today is Suzhu's gift of combing, this beloved, can you let Suzhu choose by herself?"
The old bustard knew that Su Zhu would choose one of these two people, no matter who she chosen, she would not suffer, so she was relieved to give this choice to Su Zhu, if she could choose one that suited her heart, it would also save her own thoughts!
"Just like my daughter~"
With the old bustard's promise, Su Zhu bowed his head slightly, and motioned to the maid next to him to take a painting out.
Su Zhu knows that the two sons are both rookies in the art world, and they must have amazing eyesight. Su Zhu here happens to have a famous painting of the famous artist Guang Mo in the early years of the Northern Wei Dynasty, if the two sons can count how many birds are in this painting in the time of a stick of incense, then this person is Su Zhu's ...... tonight You're a guest of the curtain!"
As soon as I heard this "guest of the curtain", I couldn't help but wonder, this Suzhu girl was not ridiculing the sentence "Come and become the guest of Suzhu girl" when I first arrived, right?!
Chen Si was overjoyed when he heard the news, and felt that this Suzhu girl was still interested in herself, otherwise how could she give herself such a good opportunity?
I was still thinking that this Suzhu girl was so interesting, and the corners of my mouth couldn't help but rise. The maid cooperated with others to slowly unfold the painting in front of everyone's eyes, only to see the birds in the painting covering the sky and the sun, like a hundred birds and a phoenix, all kinds of birds, colorful, different forms, chasing and playing, beautiful.
In the painting, there is only one man who is independent of everyone with his hands behind his back, but he is seen wearing a crimson fluff trimmed official uniform, wearing a leg-stretching head, a jade belt around his waist and wooden boots, which is clearly a civil official above the fourth rank of the Northern Wei Dynasty.
I looked at the back of the civil official and frowned slightly, although this Guang Mo is a famous artist, but there are not many paintings in his life, it is very rare to be able to start collecting, so if you want to see Guang Mo's works, not everyone has this honor.
And this is indeed a generation of masterpieces, not to mention the shape and color of the bird, even the overall design is very flexible, want to count how many birds in this painting in the time of a stick of incense, it is really not something that ordinary people can do lightly!
Beauty, especially smart beauty, is really thorny......
Immediately, another person lit a standing incense stick in front of everyone to symbolize the beginning of the competition!
This one is simply impossible to count, either it will be confused when it reaches half, or it will not remember where it is, so for painters who are good at mastering the layout of space, they naturally have their own unique way to count.
Time seems to pass very slowly, so slow that you can hear the slow breathing of the people around you, and time seems to pass so fast that you don't even have time to think clearly, and the incense is about to burn to the end......
I breathed a little tired, and suddenly felt a little thirsty, so I called the maid who brought tea and water nearby, and begged for a cup of tea from her to drink, thinking that this was really a sad and unpleasant thing, but I was afraid that the old headache of the past few days would have to be committed again.
After just a few sips of tea, the fragrance burned to the end.
I looked at Chen Si, although he was also tired, but he was full of confidence, and he should not give in!
Oh, I'm afraid he won't have confidence?
"When the hour comes, please announce the answer!"
The little guy who was in charge of watching the time reminded the two sons to answer the questions, but he didn't know which son to let answer the questions first.
I stretched out my hand and was about to ask clearly, but I knew that Chen Si had already been unable to hold back, and with a posture of conceding, he stepped forward and replied with his head held high:
"Thank you Brother Xiaoyao for admitting it, let's let Chen Si answer first!"
Hehe, this kid is still like a mirror in his heart, if he answers correctly first, he will take the lead!
I smiled wryly, and let him go.
"Suzhu girl Rongyu, according to Chen Si's observation, there are two hundred and three birds in this painting!"
After speaking, he looked at me with a smug face, as if waiting for my answer!
I smiled, and since he answered two hundred and three, then my answer was also available.
"How can I look, there are only two hundred and two!"
It seemed that my answer seemed to be right in Chen Si's arms, and he finally couldn't help but laugh proudly.
"Wrong, wrong, Brother Xiaoyao, I have conceded! This last bird, on the supplement of this civil official!"
What is a supplemental uniform? It is the different patterns embroidered on the official uniforms of civil and military officials, with birds embroidered on civilian official robes and animals embroidered on military officials' robes. According to the rank of the official, the color of the official uniform is different, and the embroidered pattern is also different.
According to the rank of officials, the first to third grades are purple, the fourth to fifth grades are scarlet, the sixth to seventh grades are green, and the eighth to ninth grades are green.
In the civil service, the purple clothes are embroidered with flying cranes, the scarlet clothes are peacocks, the green clothes are cloud geese, and the green clothes are emus.
The man in the painting is wearing a scarlet official uniform, which must be embroidered with a peacock, and the peacock is also a kind of bird, so it is naturally counted among them.
Hearing Chen Si's words, everyone couldn't help but suddenly realize, and they had to admire this son's meticulous heart, and praised him for being commendable!
I heard it and shook my head with a smile, if it is according to the current comparison, Chen Si's answer is correct, but unfortunately, Miss Suzhu said it from the beginning, this is from the early years of the Northern Wei Dynasty!
The ancestors of the Northern Wei Dynasty were originally Xianbei people, nomads for generations, living in pursuit of water and grass, herding sheep and horses, and being self-reliant. It was not until later that Emperor Xuanwu, the founding emperor of the Northern Wei Dynasty, established the Northern Wei regime.
Emperor Taizong and Emperor Ming Yuan began to understand the truth that he could win the world immediately, but he would not be able to govern the world immediately, so he began to learn Han culture, encouraged the people to wear Han costumes, and introduced the Han bureaucratic system.
After three generations of emperors, during the reign of Emperor Gaozu Xiaowen, the Northern Wei Dynasty from the civil and military officials to the common people at dawn had formed the custom of wearing Han costumes and practicing Han etiquette, which gradually disappeared the figure of a small number of famous ethnic costumes.
Even so, the minority regimes in the north were not recognized by the southern regimes, which had always been influenced by Han culture, and they often claimed to be the source of the Central Plains culture and disdained the minority ethnic groups.
This also led to the enslavement and debasement of the Han people in a certain number of famous ethnic regimes, which is the group of people in the Northern Wei Dynasty who still exist in the so-called "Han Men Shi clan", most of them were actually born Han Chinese, and most of the gate lord Shi clans were the descendants of the nobles transformed from a few famous tribes.
Chen Si must not have known this reason, so he applied the official service system of southern officials to the early years of the Northern Wei Dynasty, which is not in line with historical facts.
"Please let Miss Suzhu announce the answer herself!"
Chen Si looked expectant, as if he was already the one who had the last laugh!
"The answer of the carefree boy is the correct solution!"
As soon as Miss Suzhu said this, Chen Si suddenly felt five thunderbolts and stood still.
"You are smart but clever mistaken, in the early years of the Northern Wei Dynasty, there was only a color system for public uniforms, but there was no supplementary service grading system, this official was dressed in a scarlet robe, and he was indeed an official above the fourth grade, but unfortunately, there was no peacock on his official uniform!"
I leaned over and patted him on the shoulder, and then whispered in his ear without a trace, not long after leaving his side, Chen Si seemed to have committed some emergency, and the whole person was not well, and then, he suddenly fell to the ground and fainted.
I saw that his servant hurriedly ran over, picked up their son-in-law, and left in a hurry without looking back......
In this way, the person who won the final victory was me!
I took out a silver ticket of five thousand silver coins from my bosom, and then took out the hundred gold bills together and pressed them on the table, and the hundred gold bills could be exchanged for three thousand silver coins, which added up to eight thousand in all. Although it was 1,000 less than my final offer, the old bustard's eyes told me that these were enough!
Everyone present was thrilled that I could finally hold the beauty, and applauded and cheered.
A moment later, the Suzhu girl also walked out of the heavy beaded curtain, and the figure of Miao Man in white was exactly the same as she had seen that night when she was drunk, but at this time, her appearance was closer, so close that she could finally meet her eyes......
When I met her bright and charming eyes, my smile froze on my lips, for some reason, I had forgotten my words, I had forgotten the qiē around me, obviously I had never seen this Suzhu girl, but why did I feel like that......
I only heard her say a word softly, saying:
"Tonight, Suzhu belongs to this son!"
I can't remember how I took the glass from her, and the moment I took it, I raised my head and drank it.
Su Zhu was surrounded by all the maids and went upstairs, and only the laughter between the women was left along the road.
