Chapter 230 Like jade and ice
After entering the sub-city, Nan Xun and his party were welcomed into the palace, and the residence had already been arranged, so after the general and Nan Xun and others arrived, they could live directly.
After that, the next thing must be the dust washing banquet, Qian Yuanqian feasted the ministers in his palace, originally Nan Xun was not suitable to participate in this kind of occasion, but the general regarded Nan Xun and Ziling as the general's wife and sister, and reported them in the entourage list.
That Qian Yuanqian saw that these were the righteous sisters of the general's wife, so he also arranged seats for Nan Xun and Ziling, so Nan Xun and Ziling also came to the palatial hall.
Dozens of tables of dishes were placed on the table, and the general naturally sat at the main table with Qian Yuanjun, while Shuang'er, Nanxun and others sat on the side table on the side, accompanied by Qian Yuanjun's people in person, which seemed to be a very high standard and treatment.
Nan Xun also knew that he was just an ordinary person, and he could be in such a high position, all because of Shuang'er, the general's wife, of course, with Nan Xun here, it was also very good for the general, lest Shuang'er be too simple when he said something unintentional and offended Qian Yuanjun.
Fortunately, Shuang'er was very quiet in front of unfamiliar people, so although she ate for two whole hours, Shuang'er didn't say anything out of place, so although this meal was a little restrained, but in general, there were no accidents.
After the banquet, Shuang'er stayed by the general's side to accompany the general, and enjoyed the song and dance in the palace with Qian Yuanqian and others.
Nan Xun casually found a reason, and took Xiao Er Ziling out to go shopping, with the pass order given by Qian Yuanjun, the three of them were unimpeded inside and outside the palace, except for some special places, others can move around at will, and it is not a problem to go out of the palace to see.
After Nan Xun and the others came to the outside of the palace, they went directly to the most lively market, which was very lively, and it was also very Jiangnan characteristics.
Compared with the markets in the north, although the markets in the south of the Yangtze River are just as lively, they are a little less noisy.
Nan Xun walked along the street, and saw the streams running through the city, which made Nan Xun feel that this was like a city on the water, and occasionally there were black canopy boats quietly rowing by, adding a bit of love to this water city. Interesting.
Even Ziling, who has rarely spoken, can't help but say to Nan Xun: "The scenery of the south of the Yangtze River is really detailed!" ”
Nan Xun smiled and said: "Jiangnan style, probably that's it, meticulous and euphemistic should be the feature here, you see that whether it is a house bridge or a dress, it is so exquisite, this is unbearable to touch it, for fear of breaking it, hey, this is ......"
When he said this, Nan Xun seemed to see something, exclaimed, and then walked to a stall, looked at the things on it, and asked, "Old man, this thing is all yours!?" ”
"yes, how many are you going to buy!?" The old man said, looking at Nan Kaoru with a smile.
Nan Xun said: "As far as I know, the secret color porcelain seems to be the special porcelain of the Wu Yue Palace, I don't know how the old gentleman has so many exquisite secret color porcelain in his hands!" ”
"Hahaha, the girl is from the Central Plains, I don't know much about our Wu Yue, although King Wu ordered that all secret color porcelain should be returned to the government as a tribute, and the people should not spread it in large quantities, but, after all, there are still a lot of people who burn porcelain, as long as we don't make a large number of zuò and sell it, King Wu will not blame." The old man said, "After all, King Wu is still very good to the people. ”
Nan Xun nodded and said, "So that's the case, okay, I'll choose a few!" ”
Xiao Er looked at it from the side and said, "Miss, isn't it just to see porcelain, don't we have it, don't you have to bring it back from here so far, it's too troublesome!" ”
Nan Xun glared at Xiao Er and said: "What do you know, I would have brought Xiao Yi over if I had known, he would definitely not say such brainless words as you, if it was an ordinary thing, would I need to be so surprised!" ”
"Huh!?" Xiao Er asked, "Is there anything special about this!?" ”
"A thousand peaks are emerald, like jade and ice!"
After Nan Xun finished saying these eight words, the old gentleman's eyes suddenly lit up, and he said: "It turns out that the young lady has studied the secret color porcelain so much, which really makes the old man and me gain insight, and at a young age, I know so much, which is really admirable!" ”
Nan Xun said: "The old gentleman has a good reputation, I just grew up in a pawnshop, and our pawnshop, there are often some high-ranking officials to identify things, so I have seen this secret color porcelain a few times." ”
"Oh," the old man nodded, perhaps knowing that Nan Xun often dealt with dignitaries, so his expression was much more solemn, and then said, "Then Miss, please choose two, I guarantee that they are absolutely genuine!" ”
"It can be seen that you should always be the master of Yue Yao!"
The old man laughed a few times, didn't say anything, just said: "Miss, hurry up, otherwise when the guards see us, it will be possible to cause unnecessary trouble!" ”
Nan Xun said, "Then let's do these two pieces." ”
As she spoke, she pointed to the two most delicate pieces on the stall.
The old man nodded, found a cardboard box, wrapped it for Nan Xun, and then handed it over, and said, "Miss, take it, I see that the guards over there are coming, I'll hide first!" ”
As he spoke, it was to see that he was cleaning up the stall.
Nan Xun turned his head to look and found that there was indeed a small group of guards coming from the north, but it seemed that it would take a while to get in front of Nan Xun and the others.
She turned her head and was about to pay the money and leave, but found that the old man had already cleaned up his stall and ran away.
It's a pity that the guards are right in front of her, and she can't shout loudly, so she has to look at Xiao Er and Ziling with a wry smile, although she has the token of King Wu Yue, these guards will not be difficult for themselves, but she is so disregarded for etiquette in this place, I am afraid that I will lose the face of the general.
Therefore, Nan Xun had to think about seeing this old man in the future and give money.
However, Xiao Er couldn't help but ask: "Miss, why do I think this old man seems to be a liar!" ”
"No," Kaoru said with a smile, "If he really plans to lie to me, why wouldn't he take the money!?" ”
Xiao Er said: "That's because he saw the guards coming, and he was afraid of being seen, maybe this person has been arrested by the guards many times!" ”
Nan Xun said: "No matter who he is, anyway, this secret color porcelain is an absolute treasure, a very good thing, but we didn't pay, it's really a bit rude!" ”
Xiao Er said: "Hey, he ran so fast, who can catch up!" ”
"You!" Nan Xun said and turned his head to look at Xiao Er.
Xiao Er hurriedly shook his head and said, "No, no, I still have to protect Miss's safety by Miss's side, I must not leave your surroundings, otherwise I will go back, they will have to skin me alive!" ”
Because every time Nan Xun goes out, he takes Xiao Er with him, so, when he was a word, they told Xiao Er more than once in their freshman year that as long as they were outside, they couldn't leave Nan Xun's surroundings.
And the emphasis is very strict, after the little two come out, as long as Nan Xun is not untying and sleeping, the child almost follows inch by inch.
Nan Xun had no choice but to say: "Then let's go, let's continue to turn around, maybe, he will set up a stall in another place to sell, if we can meet it, we will give the money to others!" ”
Xiao Zi nodded: "Hmm! ”
The trio then continued to wander around the city.
After walking for a while, Xiao Er saw a teahouse and said, "Miss, don't you take a break, it's been an hour, don't be tired!" ”
Nan Xun said, "Okay then, let's go in and have a look." ”
After speaking, he took Ziling and Xiao Er into the teahouse, in the teahouse, a drama was singing a small song, Wu Nong spoke softly, gentle as jade, and the people who listened were very intoxicated.
The people in the teahouse also talk softly, and they never disturb the interest of others.
This made Nan Kaoru feel very good, so he found a random seat and sat down.
The teahouse guy stepped forward and asked softly, "What do you three order!?" ”
"Come here, don't drink a pot of authentic Longjing, wouldn't you be sorry for the head of Longjing......"
"That's it," the little guy said with a smile, "then a pot of dragon wells and two plates of dim sum!?" ”
"Well, make four plates of your special dim sum and bring them all up." Nan Xun said, throwing a few taels of silver to the little guy, "Go quickly, this is your reward!" ”
Rewarding money, this is a common behavior anywhere, whether it is the Central Plains, Miaojiang, or Jiangnan, this is a good way to quickly close the relationship with these small guys.
Sure enough, after receiving the reward, Xiao Xihe retreated.
It didn't take long for him to come to Nan Xun's table with tea and snacks, set it up for Nan Xun, and after saying a word about the guest officer's slow use, he quickly left.
Xiao Er poured tea for Nan Xun and Ziling, and said, "Is this singing, how can people want to sleep!" ”
"Don't talk nonsense!" Nan Xun said, "If you want to sleep, go to sleep, tell you, I missed it, you want to hear the soft voice of the Jiangnan woman, but you don't know that you have to wait until that year." ”
Ziling said: "It's pretty good! ”
"Yes," Nan Xun said on the side, "Whispering, especially when girls sing, it has the unique grace of Jiangnan, and it is indeed beautiful!" ”
Xiao Er didn't have such a strong feeling, and he was alone looking at the two porcelains he had just bought.
At this time, a person on the side slowly leaned over and asked, "Excuse me, where did you buy this porcelain!?" ”
Nan Xun turned his head to look at the past when he heard the sound, it was a man dressed in the Central Plains, and his accent was also the accent of the Central Plains, it seemed that he had come to Jiangnan to do business, and he should have taken a fancy to the two secret color porcelain that Nan Xun bought, so Nan Xun said: "It's on the road, I walked around casually, and I saw someone buying this, and I thought it was good to buy two pieces, and this big brother also wanted to buy secret color porcelain?" ”
The man nodded and said, "I make porcelain myself, and I heard that the secret color porcelain of Yue Kiln is extraordinary, so I came over here and planned to buy a few words to see and ponder!" ”
"Hahaha," Nan Xun said with a smile, "Big brother is planning to come over and steal the master to learn the arts!" ”
"Hehe......" The man smiled loyally and didn't say anything.
Nan Xun continued: "I'm afraid this is a bit difficult, the secret color porcelain is the tribute of King Wu Yue, if you want to buy the secret color porcelain, it is not easy, although King Wu Yue is not very strict with this control, but there are too few people who dare to sell it." ”
"That's right," the man said, "it's because of this, I've been here for a few days, and I haven't met anyone who sells secret porcelain. ”
Nan Xun smiled and said: "I'm afraid this won't work, I'm also going to buy this and collect it, this big brother must also know the truth that rare things are expensive, since the secret color porcelain is so rare, and it is a tribute exclusively for the palace, then the rarity of this thing, I think you also know!" ”
"Understood, understood!" As the man spoke, he sat down at Kaoru's table and continued, "Then I'll take a few glances here!?" ”
"Okay, that's easy to say!" After speaking, Nan Xun glanced at Xiao Er and asked Xiao Er to hand the secret color porcelain to this person.
Xiao Er handed it over and said, "Be careful, don't break it!" ”
Secret color porcelain is generally not very thick, so you have to be very careful when using it, which is also in line with the meticulous living habits here in Jiangnan.
The man nodded and said, "I will definitely be careful, this thing is more important than life to me, I am finally fortunate to see it with my own eyes, how can I not be careful, little brother, you can rest assured, if it is broken, my life will be with you!" ”
After speaking, the man gently picked up the secret color porcelain that Nan Xun had bought and looked at it carefully.
Judging from his serious attitude, it should be that he didn't tell a lie, Nan Xun hesitated in his heart, do you want adult beauty, to be honest, she took it back and put it in the cabinet to collect, if this man is allowed to bring it back to the Central Plains, maybe, the porcelain kiln in the Central Plains can also burn porcelain comparable to it.
At first, Nan Xun thought that this person was here to sell secret color porcelain, and the so-called words, she only regarded it as an excuse for this man to buy these two exquisite porcelain from her.
But now it seems that this man should indeed be a craftsman who makes porcelain, and it should be a good thing to give him the secret color porcelain.
However, Nan Xun felt a little reluctant, after all, there are too few secret color porcelain, and these two pieces of porcelain are so exquisite, it is even more rare.
With his many years of appraisal experience, Nan Xun can see at a glance that these two pieces of porcelain are definitely the two best in the old man's hand, and Nan Xun has also seen it, and there is no word for tribute, which means that these porcelains do not belong to the list of tributes, so it is easy to carry, and there is no need to worry about being searched by officers and soldiers.
Just as she hesitated, the man spoke! (To be continued.) )
