Chapter 17: All that is due has come
In the second year of Changxing, on June 15, firecrackers rang out at the entrance of the palace, gongs and drums were noisy, dozens of platforms were built on the wide square, separated by the red line, and a column of soldiers stood beside the red line, guarding the platform, not letting the crowd of onlookers outside squeeze in.
"Do you think the emperor will come today?"
"How is it possible, at most, it is a holy decree, and the main process must be presided over by the ministers."
"What kind of treasure do you think this name will be!?"
"Who knows, the world is so big, there are countless treasures, like any gold, silver and jewelry, it is nothing, and it can't be put on the table......"
Everyone is talking about this rare big event in Luoyang City, Mingzong is thrifty, and rarely holds any activities, and it is even more rare to have such a big national event.
"Miss, there are so many people." Xiao Yi and Xiao Er looked left and right, a little restless, after all, they had not gone through such a big occasion, and they were inevitably a little nervous.
"Of course, this is a national announcement, and you all know that the people who came are not only from our Luoyang City, but also from other states and counties."
"Miss, whose platform is it?" The smaller one is one in one direction.
Nan Xun looked over and carefully looked at the flag outside: "It seems to be from Taiyuan Mansion." ”
Xiao Er said: "I know that their platform is the largest and most gorgeous. ”
"Well," Nan Xun said, "it seems to be so, but the other platforms should not be underestimated, after all, there may be a treasure hidden in that platform, and you can't see it just by looking at the appearance." ”
"Yes, yes," Xiao Yi said, "A few days ago, I heard the young lady say something 'the mountain is not high, there are immortals are famous, the water is not deep, and there are dragons and spirits', you can't just look at the appearance." ”
"The child can be taught," Nan Xun listened to Xiao Yi's words, smiled, and praised him, "Xiao Yi can actually say such a thing, Xiao Er, you have to study hard." ”
"Miss knows that she is biased towards the younger one." Xiao Er seemed displeased, "If I keep following Miss, I will definitely learn faster than him." ”
"What's the use of blocks, you don't understand."
"Who said I don't understand, don't you understand, you tell me about it,......"
"I won't sue you......"
"I think you just don't understand ......"
The three of them were talking, and seeing that it was about to be noon, at this time, a little eunuch came out, stood at the gate of the palace, cleared his throat and shouted: "The auspicious time has come, declare the holy decree!" ”
The people in the square knelt down.
"The edict said, the foundation of the world is for the people, since I ascended the throne, the people's livelihood is rich, the wind and rain are smooth, therefore, open the treasure conference, gather the world's treasures, in order to show the fortune of the country, in order to show prosperity."
"My Emperor Shengming!" After the decree was read, the people in the square chanted in unison.
Immediately followed by the beating of gongs and drums, dragon and lion dances, after a lively scene, an official-looking person walked out and said: "This treasure appraisal conference, presided over by the lower officials, the first content is to select the discerning person, the second content is to select the world's treasures, first of all, please Shangshu Lord." ”
The audience burst into applause.
"Colleagues, blind date, the so-called people are in good spirits on happy occasions, the lower officials are fortunate to be the judges of this treasure appreciation conference, it is really thanks to the emperor's love, the lower officials are only sparse and shallow, and the literature is not as good as the old prime minister, and the martial arts are not as good as the general," said Lord Shangshu to the prime minister and the general sitting on the side, bowed his hand, expressed his respect, and then continued, "So, if there is any mistake, I hope everyone here will mention more." ”
……
Nan Xun sat on the platform where Yiyan belonged, listening to Lord Shangshu talk eloquently, nothing more than some flattering words, I have to say that this Lord Shangshu is really not ordinary to speak, he talked for almost half an hour, but there was no stumble, Nan Xun wondered if he had prepared a speech, this adult just read it out.
Finally, with a "thank you", Lord Shangshu finally sat down.
However, what made Nan Xun speechless was that the official-looking person just now stood up again and said, "Next, I would like to invite the waiter of the Ministry of Rites to give a speech." ”
Then the waiter of the Ministry of Rites made another tirade, Nan Xun didn't listen directly, but turned around and looked at the platforms everywhere, so many treasures gathered together, there must be thieves who want to take advantage of the opportunity, not to mention anything else, the empty hand will definitely not miss such a good opportunity, and will definitely come.
Thinking of this, Nan Xun turned his head and said to Xiao Yi and Xiao Er: "You guys have a good idea, don't let the ill-intentioned people take advantage of the loophole." ”
"Miss, don't worry, if we want to talk about reading and literacy, we don't dare to say it, but we will definitely not make a mistake in this look at things and things, otherwise our pawnshop would have been closed a long time ago." Xiao Er said to Nan Xun with a grin.
"You don't know, if it's an ordinary thief, you two can naturally see it, but there are some powerful characters, and that method is really unguardable, and you can't take it lightly."
Xiaoyi said: "How is it possible, we didn't open the store on the first day, after so many years, haven't we lost anything at all." ”
"It's not ......" Nan Xun wanted to say something more, but he saw a person slowly walking towards him, with a thin body and light steps, it was the empty hand!
He walked to Nan Xun's platform and said to Nan Xun, "Miss is good!?" ”
"The blessing of the son is not bad." Nan Xun is not a compliment, it is really a blessing to be empty-handed, if you want to make Nan Xun unclean empty-handed, there must be a way, and besides, he is still a clever thief.
Even, Nan Xun was wondering if the empty hand of taking the jade seal in her pawnshop was just to let Nan Xun not talk nonsense at this treasure appreciation conference, and to delay the big event empty-handed.
After all, there are so many pawnshops, why do you have to choose a word when you look at your hand, after thinking about it, only Nan Xun, who has a word, has seen the true identity of the empty hand, so he sent a hot potato to Nan Xun to prevent Nan Xun from revealing his identity.
She said at the time that she would not participate, in fact, she also had such considerations, in case the time came when she was forced to expose the empty hand, no matter how empty the empty hand would inevitably say a word when the matter of hiding the jade seal of the previous dynasty, and the net would be broken, that kind of situation was definitely not what Nan Xun wanted.
He smiled empty-handed and said, "Miss, I'll leave first." ”
"Childe let's go!"
said it politely, but Nan Xun was thinking in his heart, let's go quickly, don't come again, we'd better never see each other again.
As soon as she sent off this plague god, she heard a commotion in the crowd, and when she heard the voice, she saw several people respectfully, hugging a son and walking towards Nan Xun's side, Nan Xun fixed his eyes and saw that it was the son of the Yan family.
Yan Shao also turned his head to see Nan Xun, with a slight doubt in his eyes, as if he was thinking about why he saw Nan Xun here, not that Nan Xun didn't come, and finally he took a deep look at Nan Xun and left.
Sure enough, this Yan Gongzi is also here for this treasure appreciation conference!
