Chapter 54: Marshal Zhao
Jin Yang followed Xuan Shijing's gaze and also discovered the location of Marshal Zhao.
"Brother Jing, isn't that person Marshal Zhao who helped you stun the assassins on the Xuanwu Lake Painting Boat that day?" Jin Yang said.
"Well, indeed, he is worthy of being the son of the richest man in Chang'an City, spending money like dirt, a piece of jewelry that was originally worth two or three hundred yuan at most, shouting five hundred at a price, not distressed at all." Xuan Shijing said with a smile.
"Brother Jing, after all, people have helped us on the painting boat, should we go down to meet him?" Jin Yang asked.
Xuan Shijing nodded: "Okay." ”
Speaking of Marshal Zhao, Xuan Shijing also asked Gao Jun to check this person after painting the boat in Xuanwu Lake.
Marshal Zhao, the son of Zhao Baishun, the richest man in Chang'an City, although he is not as bad as other rich and noble children on weekdays, his reputation for looking for flowers and willows is also ranked first in Chang'an City.
But you can't look at people on the surface, Xuan Shijing sees it this way, Marshal Zhao is a very courageous person, and he can be regarded as an insightful person, and besides, he is also very righteous.
At least once on the boat that day, he stepped forward at a critical moment.
"Miss Bingyue, my princess and I are going to see an old friend, so I will leave first." Xuan Shijing said.
Qin Bingyue naturally heard the conversation between the two just now, and didn't say much, just nodded.
Xuan Shijing took Jin Yang downstairs, the second floor was sitting, most of them were the nobles of Chang'an City, although Marshal Zhao's family occupied the name of the richest man in Chang'an, but in terms of identity, he couldn't sit on the second floor, so he found a good seat in the hall on the first floor and began his life of hugging left and right.
"Brother Zhao, don't come to harm." Xuan Shijing smiled and stepped forward to greet him.
As soon as Marshal Zhao came, it was Xuan Shijing, and he hurriedly let go of the woman in his arms and got up to greet him: "Master Hou." In a blink of an eye, he saw Jin Yang who was following Xuan Shijing, and hurriedly wanted to make a big salute.
Xuan Shijing quickly held Marshal Zhao with his hand, and whispered in his ear: "Wanwu revealed the identity of the princess. ”
Marshal Zhao thought about it carefully, and then realized that he was reckless, and hurriedly bowed his hand to greet.
"Zhao Gongzi doesn't have to be so polite, I came over with Brother Jing today to thank Zhao Gongzi for helping him on the painting boat that day." Jin Yang said with a smile.
"It turns out that this is the case, Li Gongzi doesn't have to take it to heart, if there is no Hou Ye to protect him that day, I think we will all be buried in the hands of the assassins, the situation is critical that day, and it is also appropriate to help each other." Marshal Zhao's temperament is not as unbearable as it is rumored outside, whether it is his own temperament or the tone of his speech, in addition to the meaning of indulgence and uninhibitedness, it is more gentle and elegant.
Or maybe it's the reason why you can't lose your courtesy in front of Jinyang.
Several people on the painting boat that day inquired about each other's identities after the incident, especially Xuan Shijing and Jinyang and Gao Huanquan, who have the most special identities among them, Gao Huanquan is better to say, the crown prince of Goguryeo, but in the Tang Dynasty, the name of this crown prince does not seem to be of any use to the nobles and rich people of Chang'an
What makes several people taboo is none other than Princess Jinyang and the Marquis of Dongshan, who are deeply favored by His Majesty today.
"Master Hou, Master Li, if you don't dislike it, how about sitting here?" Marshal Zhao warmly invited.
"Okay." Xuan Shijing said with a smile, although you can see the whole audience on the third floor, how can it compare to the fun of being there.
Xuan Shijing responded, Jin Yang naturally sat next to Xuan Shijing, Marshal Zhao saw this, waved his hand, and asked the two women who were accompanying him to retreat, in front of Princess Jinyang, and then hugged left and right like this, it was obviously very rude.
Just after such a short delay, the pair of earrings from Western Byzantium has been priced at 600 yuan, and Chang'an City has never lacked rich people.
After arriving at 600 yuan, Marshal Zhao did not increase the price, originally he bought this jewelry just to make the beauties around him smile, since someone is willing to pay a higher price, he will not follow the mixture, just a pair of earrings, Marshal Zhao still doesn't mind.
"Xuanhou, I heard that you held the auction of Yanlailou this time?" Marshal Zhao took the opportunity to ask.
Xuan Shijing nodded: "Yes, but it's not that I organized it, it should be said that it was organized by the Jinyang Chamber of Commerce, and the things auctioned today, in addition to some of the funds of the Hou Mansion, are more donated by some good people in Chang'an City." ”
"Xuanhou, look, I want to donate 5,000 yuan to Liaodong on behalf of my father, can Xuanhou make it convenient for my younger brother?" Marshal Zhao said.
Five thousand, in the eyes of outsiders, is not a lot of money, even in the mansion of Li Tai and Li Ke, it is also a large amount, but for the richest man in Chang'an, it is just the price of his son to go to Yanlai Lou to see the top card twice, this money, Marshal Zhao and his father Zhao Baishun have not seen it in their eyes, spending money to make a good name for themselves, it is also a good deal.
"Yes, even if Brother Zhao doesn't come to me, as long as you go to Xuanwu to find someone from the Jinyang Foundation, they can also handle it properly for Brother Zhao, the Jinyang Foundation is just a charitable organization of civil significance, and there are no other requirements and thresholds, so Brother Zhao, just do it." Xuan Shijing explained.
It seems that there are still many people who don't really understand the significance of Jinyang Fund.
However, Xuan Shijing really hopes that there will be more rich people like Marshal Zhao to support the Jinyang Foundation, of course, Xuan Shijing also tries not to make the Jinyang Foundation into some charitable organizations, and do something unsightly in the name of charity.
The auction of Yanlai Building is in full swing, and in the hall on the first floor of Xuanwu, all the materials have also been packed and recorded, just waiting for Li Chengqian to set off tomorrow morning, and let the carriage come over to transport it.
In one night, Marshal Zhao auctioned a set of glass cups from the Western Regions at the auction, a fist-sized agate jade, both of which are rare items, and Marshal Zhao also topped the list of tonight's charity auction with a total price of 13,000 yuan.
Marshal Zhao really wanted to make a name for his own business, and when he came, the Marquis of Dongshan and Princess Jinyang sat beside him, and there was also a hint of wanting to befriend Xuan Shijing.
When Yan Lailou dispersed like this, the night was already deep, and when he came to the third floor, Qin Bingyue had already prepared food and waited for Xuan Shijing and Jinyang, and after Qin Yuxin was busy sending the guests away, he also arrived on the third floor.
Pushing open the door, Qin Yuxin walked into the room, and saw that Xuan Shijing, Jin Yang and Qin Bingyue were eating, and couldn't help but smile: "The slave family has been presiding over such a big field below for so long, and you haven't drunk a sip of water, Master Hou, you are at ease here." ”
