Chapter 57: The Battle for Baoyu
The attendant walked to the window and said aloud, "Seven, one thousand and one hundred taels." ”
Zhang Juntaiqi said: "Shopkeeper, Da Sui does not allow private jade trading." ”
"That's why I'm going to take pictures of this jade." Li Wenyuan saw that Zhang Juntai was still a little confused, so he whispered in his ear: "I can ask for the right to come to the Eight Prefectures of the Western Regions to build weapons, then the place where we are tracking down the ordnance building, Li Liang can also use this as an excuse to quibble that he does not want to support the army and stand on his own." So we had to help him and help him build up the evidence of the rebellion. ”
Zhang Juntai realized this: "The shopkeeper said to find a craftsman to carve it out?" ”
Li Wenyuan nodded and said, "Exactly, I remember that Lao Jin brought us a craftsman, just go back and ask him." ”
Zhang Juntai frowned and said, "What if Li Liang still argues that this thing was framed by others?" ”
Li Wenyuan said in a deep voice: "Then he must also be able to speak, if he sees that the situation is not good and leads his troops to fight to the death, we will not be able to capture him alive, and we can only send his head back to the capital." ”
At this time, the attendant next to him stepped forward and said, "Guest, the price of jade has reached three thousand five hundred taels." ”
Li Wenyuan nodded: "Make up a whole body, four thousand taels." ”
The attendant nodded, returned to the window and said, "Seven, four thousand taels." ”
Four thousand taels was far greater than the value of the jade itself, and there was silence in the field, and even a few of the competitors in the private room stopped talking. Wen Niang was also stunned for a moment, and then said softly: "Isn't there any adult who wants to compete?" ”
Then after waiting for a while, no one bid again, and no longer delayed any longer, so he said directly: "Congratulations to No. 7 private room for winning this precious jade." Then he ordered someone to send another lot, and the other side arranged for someone to send Baoyu to Li Wenyuan.
Another advantage of the private room is that it tries to avoid the possibility of being dropped, Wen Niang sealed the opening with fire paint on the stage, and selected a seal to press on it, and then sent the sealed wooden box over.
Li Wenyuan's mind was on the beautiful jade, and he didn't have the heart to pay attention to the next lot. After a while, there was a knock on the door, and it was a man who walked in with the fire-sealed wooden box in both hands.
Li Wenyuan took the wooden box and looked at it repeatedly in his hand, confirming that there was no sign of opening it again, and the embossing of a seven-character on the lock ring was particularly eye-catching. Li Wenyuan motioned for the scouts who passed to pay, because there was a license plate, and a total of three thousand six hundred taels were paid. The man took the money, withdrew from the door, and took it with him.
Li Wenyuan took out the short dagger from his waist, picked out the fire paint on it, and opened the wooden box, which was still a familiar brocade silk. The brocade silk was taken out of the wooden box, and the wooden box was placed on the table next to it. As the brocade silk was opened layer by layer, an oval-shaped piece of runyu fell into Li Wenyuan's hands.
Runyu is cool in the hand, the gelatinous texture is very strong, hold it next to the lamp and candle to see the faint water waves flowing inside, rippling like white fungus soup, not Qinghai material and Mobei material, but it is the white jade of Shangcheng, produced in the country of Qu Satana, in the past it was a tribute to the royal family, and today I finally got a piece.
Runyu has been holding it for a long time, it is a little gentle, and the comfortable feel makes people can't help but love it a little, but I feel that my whole body is a little fluttering and refreshing. Li Wenyuan forcibly resisted the idea of taking it for himself, wrapped Runyu in cloth, and put it back in the wooden box.
Zhang Juntai sighed: "It's a pity that this piece of fine white jade is here." ”
Li Wenyuan smiled and comforted him: "It's a pity, it's a pity." White jade for the Western Regions, such a good deal is not comparable to the clan. ”
Zhang Juntai nodded helplessly, although this piece of treasure jade can be called priceless, but it is not worth mentioning compared to Li Wenyuan's scheme, there is no other way at the moment, so he can only give up this piece of treasure jade, and he will not think about it anymore, and continue to watch the auction on the table downstairs.
At the auction, one by one, the lots were brought to the stage like flowing water, and they were auctioned off by many businessmen. Among them, there are many rare famous horses in the Central Plains, some handicrafts of Daqin, all kinds of rare and exotic beasts that Li Wenyuan has never heard of, and even two bed crossbows banned in the Central Plains, which were taken away by a few Turkic-looking people. There were even some Turkic wolf flags, which were bought. Li Wenyuan estimated that these people bought the wolf flag to sell it to the children of the gate lords who had gilded the border to exchange for military merits and return to the DPRK as high-ranking officials as soon as possible.
There are many lots, but under Wen Niang's superb skills and eloquence, none of them were unsold, and all of them were bought. Li Wenyuan secretly said in his heart that this woman really has some ability to fool the monk to buy a wooden comb.
At this time, the downstairs was quiet, Li Wenyuan hurriedly retracted his mind and looked at the platform downstairs, where four big men were carrying a huge dome birdcage-like object. Looking at their footsteps, it can be concluded that the weight of this birdcage object is not light, Li Wenyuan suddenly felt that his mouth was dry, and he picked up the teacup on the side and drank water, but his eyes did not leave the birdcage on the platform downstairs.
Wen Niang walked around the birdcage and said: "I believe you all know that we have a good finale tonight, and it's not too early, so I'll show you all the adults." Wen Niang waved her hand, and several big men behind her had been waiting for a long time, and when she saw Wen Niang waving her hand, she stepped forward and removed the cloth covering the birdcage.
Li Wenyuan looked at his eyes straight, under this cloth was indeed a large bird cage, but the cage was not filled with cherished birds and beasts, but a red-haired graceful woman, with a pair of purple eyes that seemed to have a streamer turning. Li Wenyuan forgot for a moment that he was holding a teacup to drink water, and just stared blankly at the woman in the birdcage on the stage downstairs.
"This is a slave girl brought by the merchants of Great Qin, a Gaul from the far west, and her name is Ellie." Wen Niang introduced on the stage.
Burst. Li Wenyuan was choked when he heard the name, and then squirted out a mouthful of tea. The name Ellie is really, and it's a bit reminiscent. Which of the gentlemen on the Internet in later generations did not know the meaning of this name, and now it was solemnly crowned on the head of a Gallic girl, and it was said indifferently, and it felt really wonderful.
The scout on the side saw that Li Wenyuan was coughing a little, and hurriedly came over to help him calm down, which relieved the pain of choking on tea. Originally, there was silence in the room, and Li Wenyuan's cough was a little fierce, which attracted many people to look at the private room, but fortunately it was a private room, except for Wen Niang, no one could see the situation in the private room, so as to avoid embarrassing things.
At this time, Wen Niang also knew what was going on, and said with a smile: "It seems that some adults can't hold it back." ”
