Chapter 120: The Jade Qilin Paperweight Appears
"Brother Yu, having said that, but brother, I am really shy in my pocket, so I won't participate," Wei Licheng said with some embarrassment.
Among the three, Xu Mantang, who was not from a good family, fell silent.
This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to get close to Qin Bingyue.
If it is really as Yu Sheng said, if he can make Qin Bingyue look at him differently, maybe his life will be a little different in the future
And Yu Sheng went very simply to the goal of traveling with the beauty, and shouted a high price of 3,500 yuan on the spot.
"Isn't that Yu Sheng?" Jin Yang glanced at the hall on the first floor, heard someone asking for 3,500 yuan, followed the sound and looked over, and saw Yu Sheng, Xu Mantang and Wei Licheng.
"Huh?" Hearing Jin Yang's words, Xuan Shijing also looked in the direction of Jin Yang's looking, and saw the three people sitting in the corner.
"I didn't expect to meet students from the academy here." Xuan Shijing said with a smile: "This Yu Sheng's family is a real tyrant, look at him, the price is three thousand five hundred, and he doesn't mean to feel distressed at all." ”
"The people of the Tang Dynasty, are they so rich?" Jin Yang knew that a few years ago, his father and emperor were worried about the emptiness of the treasury and the internal affairs office.
"This is just a small group of people, this Yanlai Building, is a drunken place, if you don't have money in your pocket, you won't enter this kind of place, to put it bluntly, all the Qinglou Chu Pavilion is a rich people's gold cave." Xuan Shijing explained: "In the Tang Dynasty, some people are rich and rich, drink wine and eat meat. Some people have no worries about food and clothing, while others have no worries. He is still hungry and poorly clothed. ”
"But my father and his ministers have been working hard all these years. Zhenguan Nian can also be regarded as a political clarity and happiness among the people, why are there still people who are hungry and clothed? ”
"This is a helpless thing, the world is so big, it is impossible for the dozens of people in the court to take care of all of them, besides, people's living environment is also a very important reason, these things are too complicated, and when the son grows up in the future, he will slowly understand what is going on." For the question of Jinyang. Xuan Shijing couldn't explain why this was in detail, because the reasons were too complicated.
Although Jin Yang has dealt with a lot of political affairs with His Majesty Li Er, and has seen a lot of twists and turns, but about these things, His Majesty Li Er will not let Jin Yang contact for the time being, and His Majesty Li Er hopes that his daughter will be happy and worry-free, instead of seeing these sad things all day long and becoming sad and compassionate.
The sound of bidding downstairs has thinned out, and it can withstand three thousand five hundred people. Not much.
"Ten high-grade Korean ginseng, plus three eastern pearls, a pair of jade bracelets, and a jade heart girl. Satisfactory? A young man sitting at the table in the middle of the first floor held a jade cup in his hand and looked at Qin Bingyue on the stage playfully. The look of inquiry in his eyes was undisguised.
Judging by his dress, there is no doubt that he is a Goguryeo. Goguryeo people, people who can have such a big deal in Chang'an, Tang Dynasty. The status must not be low.
"Brother Jing, that person is the crown prince of Goguryeo, Gao Huanquan, the son of King Gao Jianwu." Jin Yang leaned in front of Xuan Shijing and said: "Two months ago, Gao Jianwu, the king of Rongliu, sent Gao Huanquan to the Tang Dynasty to present Goguryeo specialties to his father, and his father also rewarded him with a very generous gift in return. ”
Xuan Shijing narrowed his eyes, and his gaze at Gao Huanquan was full of complexity.
The countries around Datang are so shameless, they can come to Datang with some worthless specialties in exchange for a large number of rich rewards, it's not that the emperor's ministers are stupid, it's just their thoughts, they are destined to show the bearing of a great country.
But if you are a young man like Xuan Shijing, a young person who has not been educated in orthodox Confucianism, you will feel that this is too much of a loss.
But this is politics, politics between countries, and the face must be good-looking, which is what the superiors want most.
"Son, I have the opportunity to tell Your Majesty that the Goguryeo sticks exchanged a few Goryeo radishes for so many treasures of the Tang Dynasty, and this business is too bad." Xuan Shijing said with a smile.
If you want to look good on your face, you won't be able to send things out at such a loss.
Jin Yang nodded as if he didn't understand, anyway, what Brother Jing said had his senses.
"I also have a treasure out of it, and I would like to see Miss Qin's face." Downstairs, another Hu merchant spoke: "The first-class mutton fat jade unicorn paperweight!" His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty gave the gift, the proprietress of the jade heart, is it possible? As he spoke, Hu Shang took out the paperweight and held it in his hand, as if to let Qin Yuxin see it clearly.
Xuan Shijing and Jin Yang looked at each other with serious faces, and they invariably put down the teacup in their hands and looked at the loud Hu Shang below.
The jade unicorn paperweight reflects a charming light under the illumination of the light, and the best mutton fat jade, without a trace of impurities, looks very transparent.
"It's a treasure indeed." Qin Yuxin looked around and saw that no one spoke again, so he said: "If no one bids again, then this time"
Before he finished speaking, a voice came from the second floor: "Five thousand!" ”
Qin Yuxin looked at the second floor, and the person who shouted the price was Jinyang, who was sitting opposite Xuan Shijing.
Isn't that the girl who came with Cheng Chumo? What is she shouting for? Qin Yuxin was a little curious, why was a girl's family interested in Qin Bingyue?
I don't know if Jin Yang is not interested in Qin Bingyue, but the Hu merchant who is holding the jade unicorn paperweight in his hand.
"Son, you" Xuan Shijing didn't expect that Jin Yang would simply shout out the price of five thousand guan.
"Brother Jing, this is an important clue." Jin Yang winked at Xuan Shijing.
In other words, since you know whose hands the paperweight is, you can just send someone to investigate, so why spend 5,000 yuan of unjust money
Besides, what time is the time to go boating on Xuanwu Lake with Qin Bingyue, but on the first day of next month, there are fifteen days before the first day of the new year, who is willing to go to Xuanwu Lake on a cold day to blow the cold wind Xuan Shijing thought weakly, if he is not afraid of the cold, he is still quite interested in going on such a journey, the key is that the climate in November, others can say that it is thicker, and Xuan Shijing almost has a brocade hat and mink fur
Jin Yang also knew that since the jade unicorn paperweight was in the hands of that Hu Shang, although she sent someone to investigate, she couldn't help but still want to meet Qin Bingyue, just because in Qin Bingyue, Jin Yang could feel the temperament of her long-awaited Aunt Pingyang. What is left is a curiosity about Qin Bingyue.
Jin Yang winked at Li Tai on the table next to him and smiled.
Seeing Jin Yang's expression, Li Tai had an ominous premonition, how could he have a feeling that his private money was going to leave him.
In the end, five people were finally determined, in addition to Jinyang and Nahu Shang, there was also Gao Huanquan, the prince of Goguryeo, and the other was a wealthy merchant in Chang'an, and then Yu Sheng was selected into the list of five people with 3,500 crane tails.
On the first day of November, the Xuanwu Lake Painting Boat is held, and each of the five people can bring an entourage to go.
"Brother Jing, are you pretending to be an entourage? Or am I pretending to be a son? Jin Yang looked at Xuan Shijing with a smile.
"Jin Yang may explain, is there a difference between these two options?" Xuan Shijing smiled helplessly, just let this little princess say hello to Qin Yuxin for a while, and let the five thousand pieces of money be sent by someone.
