Chapter 44: Tearing
If there are local tyrants who also want to bid for it, then light two sky lanterns, so that the silver taels will be added to two thousand years, and so on. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
In the history of Qilin Pavilion, there were only ten sky lanterns lit once, and that person was Jun Haoyu.
As for what was bought that day, no one knows, to be exact, no one has heard of what it was for.
At that time, the people present once spread the word that the Qilin Pavilion was bidding for a medicinal herb, no one had heard of it, and the people of the Qilin Pavilion only reported their names, just as everyone was about to ask questions, and when the person in charge was about to uncover the red silk, Jun Haoyu lit ten sky lanterns and lit up a whole room.
So, the baby was taken away by Jun Haoyu, and the others didn't see it at all.
The sky lantern of the Qilin Pavilion is octagonal, with mahogany as the frame, and the top is made of colorful glass as the lampshade, and ten red candles are stacked inside the lamp, and the whole sky lantern is the size of a round table for five people, and four people need to use carved bamboo poles to support it from the four corners, and hang it on the top of the second floor.
Looking at the sky lantern in front of Xu Ao, Ling Qingcheng couldn't help but wonder what kind of scene Jun Haoyu had lit ten lamps at the beginning.
She was thirteen and he was eighteen.
Eighteen-year-old Jun Haoyu, what kind of person will he be?
Retracting his thoughts, Ling Qingcheng saw that there was no one bidding below, so he smiled slightly, and whispered to Jia Li beside him, just when Xu Ao was proudly enjoying everyone's emotion, Ling Qingcheng also lit a sky lantern in front of him.
Everyone looked at her, waiting for her to step up.
It feels really comfortable to light the sky lantern, and it is also Jun Haoyu's money.
After the sky lantern was lit, Ling Qingcheng took out a copper coin and put it in the tray on the side, and the little servant brought it out for everyone to see.
Everyone present began to discuss, and it was a clear provocation that there was an extra penny.
Xu Ao was immediately angry, shook his hand and put ten taels of gold on his tray and asked the little guy to take it out.
Ling Qingcheng also put ten taels of gold, plus a copper coin.
Xu Ao directly smashed five hundred taels on the tray this time, and when the silver of the white flowers was brought out, it was still a little shiny.
Ling Qingcheng also took out five hundred taels of silver, plus a copper coin.
There was a commotion in the room, and Xu Ao slapped the table angrily and directly lit the second sky lantern.
This time, Ling Qingcheng sighed heavily, and let the first sky lantern go out, meaning that he gave up the bidding.
Xu Ao was very proud, no one could rob him, not to mention that there were no dignitaries and dignitaries who came today, and he inquired clearly in private.
Seeing that no one was bidding, the Qilin Pavilion sent the jade screen to the private room on the first floor, and waited for the end of the offering of treasures to inspect the goods.
The treasures in the back, except for the cold and warm jade chess pieces, no one lit the sky lantern again.
Ling Qingcheng knew that this was a gift to Zhuang Ran.
Back then, the Xiao family only did things for the royal family, and his father was just a master, and he still wanted to use the same things as the royal family.
The treasure offering meeting ended successfully, and the jade screen was also brought back to Xu's mansion by Xu Aole.
Two days later, Ling Qingcheng got up early in the morning, and after getting dressed, he went to the court domineeringly.
The ministers knelt on the ground and saluted, and as soon as they stood up, Ling Qingcheng threw the scroll in his hand directly on the main hall, and shouted angrily: "Is this how Zhong Aiqing fooled me? ”
The ministers were confused, solemn and calm, stepped forward to pick up the picture scroll and opened it, on it was just a young lady of their own family, with outstanding appearance and dignified demeanor, and there was nothing wrong with it.
"Your Majesty is angry, I don't know what's wrong with this painting."
A hint of pride crossed Ling Qingcheng's eyes, old fox, you just wait to take it.
"Prime Minister Zhuang, you have to take care of these people, they are all bold enough to rob me of things!"
Ling Qingcheng's words were childish, and he couldn't help but let the minister breathe a sigh of relief, thinking that someone was robbing a woman with His Majesty, although Zhuang Ran also had this guess, but Ling Qingcheng didn't say it explicitly, he naturally wouldn't break it, and if he wasn't sure of it, he wouldn't say it easily, this was his city.
"Your Majesty is angry, there must be some misunderstanding in it." Solemnly bowed, and the others followed suit.
The words "Your Majesty's anger" echoed in the main hall.
Ling Qingcheng recognized a scroll again: "Misunderstanding? So what is this? ”
The scroll was unfolded and thrown, and when it fell to the ground, all the appearance of Xu Yuwei on the painting was revealed.
Zhuang Ran began to look at the scroll carefully, and Xu Changhou was also a little panicked, could it be that his daughter was favored by the emperor?
Ling Qingcheng saw that they didn't speak, and he had a bottom in his heart.
"A few days ago, the eldest princess and Concubine Cheng gave me a few picture scrolls, saying that all the women in the capital have both ability and political integrity, and asked me if I liked it, but when I saw the album, I realized that the Aiqing who were present could actually take things under my nose!"
Zhuang Ran heard the meaning of the words, and immediately began to pay attention to the woman's accessories, and then his face changed slightly.
Ling Qingcheng looked at Xu Changhou: "Xu Aiqing, can you explain to me, why did the Eight Treasures Golden Silk Glazed Hairpin that Fanbang pay tribute to Miss Xu bring on Miss Xu's head?" ”
Sheng people like glass, but they will not use it to make accessories, no matter how beautiful the glass is, it is not as valuable as jade.
But Fanbang does not have this kind of avoidance for glass, so they will use glass as a hairpin, with gold wire winding, to create a chic hairpin.
Fanbang's valuable things must be registered in Shengguo, otherwise it is illegal.
In terms of craftsmanship, the Eight Treasures Golden Silk Glazed Hairpin is already the best thing in the Fanbang tribute, but there were many tributes at the beginning, and there were no other women in the palace except for the eldest princess and Concubine Cheng, so Xu Changhou would take out a few inconspicuous things for himself.
Over time, these things naturally became his, and Xu Yuwei didn't know that this was a tribute.
Zhuang Ran gave Xu Changhou a look, and he immediately stepped forward to plead guilty: "Your Majesty is angry, it's just a portrait, and it doesn't prove that the things on the little girl's head are tribute, it's just a little similar, and I hope Your Majesty will see it!" ”
Ling Qingcheng knew that he would say this, the portrait was just a shadow, and the important thing was in the back.
"Xu Aiqing is saying that all this is a misunderstanding, but I have lost my eyes?"
"The minister doesn't dare, the minister just hopes that His Majesty can see that the minister really didn't swallow the tribute!"
"Since that's the case, then I have to see with my own eyes what Miss Xu was wearing at that time."
After Ling Qingcheng finished speaking, he lifted his robe and got off the dragon chair, solemnly stunned for a moment, and then quickly stepped forward: "Your Majesty, where are you going?" ”
"Drive the Xu Mansion!"
Zhuang Ran frowned, glanced at the person behind him, and followed.
Xu Changhou naturally knew the importance of this matter, and he also sent someone back to inform him first, so that even if Ling Qingcheng went to Xu's Mansion, he would not be able to find out why.
Ling Qingcheng knew their ghost idea, and before he stepped out of the palace gate, he issued an order: "Xu Aiqing, will you put things up so that I can't find them." ”
Xu Changhou hurriedly replied: "The minister doesn't dare, the minister must fully cooperate with Your Majesty." ”
