Chapter 0035 - There Is Still This Trick
The scene here in the flower hall is much more elegant. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
On the small platform, Gu Panpan, a famous prostitute in the imperial capital, was playing the pipa in a low voice, and the sound was like an empty valley clear stream, trickling thinly. is like the background music of later generations, which can be heard by people without overshadowing the host's voice.
Zhao Bancheng was wearing a purple robe, his figure was slightly fat, and his air was lofty. At this time, he was holding a banner in his hand.
Under the stage, more than 200 officials and dignitaries sat around more than a dozen rosewood eight immortal tables.
Those who can enter the flower hall have to post at the door, or they are brought in by people with heads and faces. They are all high-end customers.
They're not bad for money, and that's what they're playing.
There were 100 taels of silver here, so they sweated profusely, and in the shouts of the soldiers, they lined up to grab the 5 taels of silver, and they couldn't afford to lose that person.
Sitting here, naturally, is decent.
The tea is Lao Junmei, and the wine is 70-degree liquor packed in the wine utensils of the noble official kiln, 1 tael per person.
Now, they all want to see what is different about this 50 taels of silver and a pound of wine.
"The wine has been tasted, and now I would like to ask for something to be tasted. Has anyone seen Mr. Nodo's true handiwork? Please circulate it and see if this is the real work of Mr. Nodo? ”
Mr. Yedu is naturally a scholar of Ji Mingluan.
Zhao Bancheng handed the banner to Gu Panpan, and Gu Panpan stepped down, took the banner, and walked between the tables.
"Ah, the drunkenness is big, the sun and the moon are long in the pot, it seems to be Mr. Nodo's handiwork."
And there was a lot of talk.
On that banner, it is the 10 words and the inscription of "drunk and big, the sun and moon in the pot are long".
Calling Gu Panpan instead of asking others to come down and pass this banner is to play a little ambiguous, so that these usually dignified guys can take the opportunity to enjoy the beauty, and they are not allowed to talk casually and question the authenticity of this banner.
"The old man has some friendship with Mr. Nodu, I'll take a look."
It was Wu Shangshu who spoke.
He is Ji Mingluan's friend and fellow villager, and he is also the secretary of the Ministry of Industry. Among those present, with his highest official position, he is still qualified to say this.
Wu Shangshu took the banner and looked up and down carefully, and Chen Hanlin next to him also came to the side to observe.
"That's right, that's the real thing that Mr. Nodo is doing."
Wu Shangshu is final.
Wu Shangshu said that others naturally didn't dare to question it anymore.
"I know that everyone here has a question, why can this wine be sold for 100 taels of silver a box? Is it worth 100 taels of silver? ”
Zhao Bancheng paused and glanced down.
"Now, I would say, it is worth not only 100 taels of silver, but far more than 100 taels of silver. Today, if you are lucky enough to get a box of Kokukoto, you will get a painting of Mr. Nodo's words. ”
In other words, every box of wine today will be accompanied by a painting of Mr. Nodo's words. That's why it was sold for 100 taels of silver. ”
Yes? What the? No way? How can it be? It's incredible!
There was a lot of discussion.
Ji Mingluan is an alcoholic, which is an open secret in officialdom. It is precisely for this reason that he is idle today.
Last year, because he was drunk, when he was discussing in the Wuying Palace, he confronted the emperor in person, and the emperor knew his virtue, so he was unwilling to deal with him. But this Ji Mingluan was confused, and even pestered the emperor after the emperor shouted to retreat from the dynasty.
is so ignorant of the general situation, it is natural that the emperor will be intolerable, and he will be dragged out and beaten 10 boards as a punishment.
This punishment is already light enough. The emperor meant to ask him to go to the next day, ask for punishment for the crime of "dereliction of honor", and then reprimand him for two sentences, and he didn't want to really punish him.
Unexpectedly, this Ji Mingluan was beaten by the board, and he felt that he had lost face, and the next day he was also sparse, but he was begging for bones.
It means that Lao Tzu is going to resign and stop serving you.
No matter how generous the emperor is, he will not get used to his stinky problem, so Ji Mingluan is idle. Thinking about waiting for the emperor to summon him back when the weather is gone, this is why he has been stranded in Yeduju.
It wasn't until a letter came from home that the emperor called him, so he gave up his heart and handed over the house to Jia Min and went back to his hometown in Jinling.
Ji Mingluan is a drunkard, and this wine comes out of his house, so it is really normal to write some banners. Besides, there is also Wu Shangshu's endorsement of the authenticity of the banner, how can this still be fake?
Ji Mingluan is a person with a very bad temper. Yes, his mind can be written in vain. The people he doesn't like, and it's hard to find out how much money he gives.
Even if you don't look at the wine, even if it's just this one word, 100 taels of silver is worth it.
With Nan'er, Ji Mingluan's personal scholar, Jia Min naturally understands Ji Mingluan's temperament.
So, I have been thinking about how to play the card of Ji Mingluan.
In the draft left by Ji Mingluan's study, Jia Min found all the ten words "drunk and big, and the sun and moon are long in the pot", so he found a calligrapher to forge 100 banners according to the font, and privately engraved Ji Mingluan's seal, so these banners were freshly baked.
As for what will happen if Ji Mingluan knows the truth in the future, Jia Min has already had a countermeasure.
After a while, he was ready to buy the house. If Ji Mingluan comes back, he will buy another one in the city. If you don't come back, you will send the money to Jinling. Anyway, after the autumn, he will also go to the south for a trip, and when the time comes, he can also visit him in Jinling by the way.
If he doesn't come back, when the time comes, tell Zhao Bancheng that in this life, he will be given free wine. Even for the sake of wine, Ji Mingluan will sell the house to him.
As for the forgery of his banner, I apologize to him when the time comes, and I believe he will not investigate it deeply.
There are many forgeries of his works on the market, which one gives him royalties? Maybe he's used to it.
Since Ji Mingluan's work has been confirmed to be authentic, it is not a problem to sell 100 copies of the collection wine.
However, this problem is solved, and new problems arise again.
There were about 200 people at the scene, and when they saw something worth the money, they definitely wanted to buy it, who did they sell it to?
Jia Min once thought about the way of auction, but in the end he denied it.
Although the auction will sell for more money, there is obviously a suspicion of taking the opportunity to accumulate money, and besides, these people are fighting for each other, which will inevitably hurt and anger.
This is not only bad for the reputation of Jiafu, but also detrimental to the brand image of Guogong Liquor.
At the same time, there is a hidden concern about the form of auction.
These wines and banners are all the same. In terms of quality, it is a homogeneous thing. If it is an auction, the final transaction price is likely to be different.
With price comparison, compared with those who get it at a high price, the mental experience will be worse, and there will definitely be a feeling of loss.
There is also a possibility that there will be some unsuccessful auctions in the end, which will be embarrassing.
This is not the result Jia Min wants.
When researching a few days ago, Boss Hu and Zhao Bancheng were inclined to auction, but they were denied by Jia Min. He decided to take the method of drawing lots.
Drawing lots can not only avoid the above drawbacks, but also have the biggest advantage, that is, you can push out all 100 pieces at once.
Just imagine, the 200 or so people here are all a little faceless. Even if he didn't want to buy it, he was purely here to see the excitement, and at this time, he was embarrassed to quit for the sake of decency. This guarantees that all 100 lots can be drawn. When it was drawn, no one was embarrassed not to pay.
"Such a precious collection is naturally something that everyone wants. However, there are so many things that it is destined to be difficult to meet the needs of everyone. So, who exactly is it sold to? ”
Zhao Bancheng deliberately sold Guanzi.
"Everyone is a guest, and everyone has a chance. For the sake of fairness, we decided to draw lots. I have 235 notes here. 100 of them are written 'medium', and the rest, 'not hit'. As long as you catch the 'medium', you are eligible to buy. ”
"Of course, don't be discouraged if you don't win. If someone wins and wants to transfer, you can also trade privately. ”
At the same time, anyone who does not win today will have a consolation prize, and you can leave a name or address, and after that, Yedu Ju will send someone to the house and give a gift worth 20 taels of silver to a box of Guogong wine. If you want, you can give a few rewards, and if you don't want to, you will be treated as if Nodu Ju has made this friend. It's just Mr. Nodo's handwriting, but it's gone, and I'm sorry. ”
Even if it was lucky, everyone couldn't say anything, so Gu Panpan stepped down again, and Qianqianyu walked through the middle of the table with a plate full of paper balls in her hand.
Then, a variety of voices rang out.
Excited, naturally hit. Frustrated, naturally missed. For a while, they began to go to the stage one after another to pick up the goods and pay the money.
After a cup of tea, the 100 boxes of collectibles were taken clean, and then they left one after another.
The field on this side of the flower hall is the latest, but the end is the fastest, it seems that in a blink of an eye, 10,000 taels of silver will be in hand.
Niu Jizong and others also participated in the lottery, but only Feng Ziying and Liu Fang drew the "middle", so they looked a little happy.
After being lively for a while, everyone seemed to remember something, so they all looked at Jia Lian. saw that Jia Lian was already pale, but he was still sitting alone in the chair.
Jia Yu and Jia Min's bet, they all know. Now, with only 100 collectible packs, Jia Min has sold for 10,000 taels of silver. The other two have been on sale for a long time, and there are still so many people queuing. It seems that if they are all sold, there will be no problem at all.
So, what to do with that bet? Could it be that Jia Yu really wants to climb up and down in front of the two thousand mouths up and down the Jia Mansion?
Mr. Hu's bookkeeper at the Hu Family Wine Shop brought two guys to deliver the money to Ping'er.
According to the prior agreement between Jia Min and Boss Hu, all the money from the sale of today's wine belongs to Jia Min. Boss Hu went out of the venue, and the expenses of the Yuhualou girl, band, Gu Panpan, colored flags, plaques, display boards, etc., were arranged and advanced by Boss Hu, and Jia Min paid the expenses afterwards.
The soldiers of the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses who maintain order are each with a bottle of hardcover wine. Qiu Liang, who led the team, added a gift of 20 taels of silver on the basis of one bottle per person.
A little more wine is prepared in various packages to meet the needs of the occasion.
There is cash silver, there are silver tickets, Ping'er counted the number, and handed it to Xueyue to collect. Sitting there distracted, thinking about it, somehow, crying again.
