Chapter 105: The Feast (3)
Mrs. Yan's words made everyone in the audience stunned, who would make such a beautiful poem? This is a poem comparable to Qu Zi's article, so isn't this person talented and comparable to the tune?
Qu Zi's status in Chu is unshakable, and his articles and poems are also sung by others, from the princes and nobles to the common people and Qiantou, they all like his poems. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info there is another such poem in this Lianxianglou today, and it composes a simple and easy-to-understand tune, which makes people have the illusion of riding the wind and returning to the arms of the moon god.
"Then I wonder where everyone made this song?"
Someone couldn't help but ask.
Mrs. Yan smiled bitterly with some embarrassment: "This song was taught to Shi Niang by my son-in-law!" ”
"Your son-in-law? But the boy who stood on the ox cart not long ago? ”
"Exactly!"
Everyone in the audience exclaimed, such a divine comedy was actually done by such a young son!
"Then can you ask that boy to come out and see him?"
Seeing that the matter had deviated from her established procedure, Mrs. Yan hurriedly said: "This song is actually not composed by my son-in-law, but sung by a Taoist priest he met by chance when he was traveling to study, but he listened to it!" ”
Everyone suddenly had a look of understanding, how could such a divine comedy be a place of nostalgia for fireworks, or was it made by a young man who was keen on business?
Mrs. Yan saw that everyone was calm, so she twisted her waist like a weak willow, and smiled heartily, attracting the attention of the audience, and then said: "Everyone knows that with the successive demise of the six countries, all the treasures of the six countries are also scattered among the people. ”
Hearing Mrs. Yan mention the treasures left behind by the Six Kingdoms, everyone unconsciously turned their eyes to her, attracted by her words.
Mrs. Yan's eyes turned, and the expressions of everyone in the audience were in full view, and she smiled with satisfaction, showing her style, and then said: "Today we will take the form of auction to sell the five treasures of Lianxianglou, the so-called auction is that Lianxianglou gives a low price, and the friends bid, and the highest bidder wins, but each bid cannot be less than a specified amount." ”
There was another commotion in the audience, which made them even more excited, and there were too many surprises for them today.
"So what are you waiting for? Don't talk nonsense, get out of your treasures! ”
"What kind of treasures are they?"
"It seems that Lianxianglou is prepared today!"
"The boy on the ox cart really didn't say anything wrong, what a surprise to us!"
Mrs. Yan didn't care about the discussion of everyone in the audience, only to see that she crossed her hands again, "popped" three times in a row, and a woman still stepped out with a wooden plate in her hand, but now there is a treasure on the wooden plate, which is covered by a square black silk silk, and you can't see its true face of Lushan. The woman placed the tray on the table that had just been prepared on the stage and stepped aside.
Everyone stretched their necks, their eyes widened, and stared deeply at the square silk, if there was a hook in their eyes, the square silk would have been hooked countless times.
Mrs. Yan laughed so hard that her cheeks hurt today, but she still smiled slightly, reached out and gently grabbed the corner of the black silk silk, and slowly lifted it up.
The guests in the audience couldn't help but get up slowly, their eyes popping out more than a foot away, what kind of treasure is it? So mysterious! Their hearts also slowly lifted up with the silk.
Gradually, under the silk, the so-called treasures gradually revealed the true face of Lushan.
I saw that on the wooden tray, there was a gray clay pot that was not ordinary, and the mouth of the clay pot was tightly sealed by mud, and it could be seen that the clay pot had been sealed for a short time.
Seeing that the treasure they had been waiting for for a long time turned out to be an ordinary clay pot that ordinary people would have, the guests were disappointed and disappointed.
"Mrs. Yan! Is this what you call a treasure? ”
"Mrs. Yan! This is also so disappointing for us! ”
"Mrs. Yan! You're going to take out a jar like this to fool us? Even if you're fooling, you have to come up with something decent! ”
Mrs. Yan smiled slightly and said, "Everyone, don't be impatient! Don't underestimate this little clay pot, this clay pot is ordinary, but do you know what is in this ordinary clay pot? ”
The guests in the audience were stunned! This is what they didn't expect, just now they just noticed this ordinary clay pot, and they didn't think that there would be anything in it, what valuable things would be in it?
Someone stood up and laughed, "Mrs. Yan, what good things can you still hold in this broken jar?" Is it filled with pearls? Or is it pretending to be a treasure jade? ”
After this man finished speaking, he laughed "haha", his face was full of mockery, and the people around him laughed loudly.
Mrs. Yan sneered, and said unhurriedly: "The Chu people have sold their pearls to Zheng, which is the cabinet of Mulan, and the incense is made of cinnamon pepper, decorated with pearls and jade, decorated with roses, and jade. The Zheng people bought their coffins and returned their pearls. This can be described as a good seller, but it can not be described as a good pearl. ”
This is a story in "Han Feizi", which is about distinguishing priorities in everything you do, don't confuse and turn it upside down, don't do stupid things that are abandoning the basics and putting the cart before the horse, don't pay too much attention to appearance, but ignore the essence of things.
The guests in the audience are all rich people, most of them have read some books, and many people know this story. After hearing this, their faces changed drastically, and their faces turned red with shame, because they really ignored the essence of things and paid too much attention to the appearance of things.
This piqued their curiosity, and someone asked, "What is in this broken jar?" ”
Mrs. Yan smiled faintly and said: "This is filled with Lanling tribute wine that has been in it for at least ten years, but it is the Lanling aging wine that was paid tribute to the King of Chu back then!" ”
After she finished speaking, she looked at the guests in the audience proudly, only to see that they were all embarrassed.
Then, she said: "This wine is now a masterpiece, and there is no longer any Lanling tribute wine from ten years ago in this world, this wine is now auctioned, the price is one hundred yuan, and the price increase shall not be less than ten yuan each time!" Start now! ”
Mrs. Yan's capable and crisp voice echoed throughout the living room, and the guests in the audience were silent, followed by a burst of discussion.
In a moment, the rough man stood up and shouted, "I want this wine, and I will pay one hundred and ten dollars!" ”
After speaking, he also glanced around proudly, as if this altar was already his.
Mrs. Yan shouted: "This friend bid one hundred and ten dollars, is there any price increase?" ”
As soon as Mrs. Yan's words fell, another person stood up and shouted, "I'll pay one hundred and twenty dollars!" ”
Someone started, and everyone became active, and some people kept shouting. When he shouted 180 yuan, someone suddenly said softly: "I'll pay 300 yuan!" ”
This person's voice was not loud, but it shook the audience.
"Three hundred dollars!" The crowd shouted. Although this wine is precious, it is far from being worth three hundred yuan, at most it is worth one hundred and sixty yuan, and when they shouted one hundred and eighty yuan, they already felt that it was high enough, and they did not expect that someone would shout the high price of three hundred yuan, this person is crazy!
The guests couldn't help but look in the direction of the sound.
