The west city of this Sui Liren City, the north and south end of the two squares, ram the wall thickness of four meters, open two doors in the southeast and northwest, two parallel streets in the north and south and east and west in the city, and the intersection of the four streets is in the shape of a tic-tac-toe. In the west, there are many miscellaneous stores that ordinary people can patronize, such as meat shops, fish shops, restaurants, restaurants and wine shops, while in the east are many shops frequented by rich and noble families, including clothing shops, saddle bridle shops, silk shops, silk shops, and cabinets where money and goods are stored. The east is expensive and the west is cheap, and the pattern is clear.

Qianbao Pavilion is in the northeast corner of the West City, it is said that it was opened in Chang'an since the Sui Dynasty, these more than 100 years have gone through wind and rain, and tried their best to root the root system among many dignitaries, so even if these decades, the Tang Dynasty has experienced one bloody storm after another, but it has always stood tall. And this triennial Doubao Conference is also held as scheduled, bringing together wealthy businessmen from all walks of life to gather in Chang'an. And although those dignitaries and dignitaries can't go in and out of the West Market, there are a lot of children and grandchildren who have not yet come out of the country, and even if they are reserved, they will also send a steward to come over.

At this moment, the two columns of black-clothed guards at the entrance of the Thousand Treasure Pavilion stood neatly, firmly blocking the people who were watching the excitement outside. Although they knew that these guards with treasure swords on their waists were not owned by the owner of the Thousand Treasure Pavilion, but were sent from the Jingzhao Mansion to maintain order, they were still inevitably envious. Especially today is the first wave of treasure appreciation, whether it is a wealthy businessman or a commoner, as long as there is a treasure, you can enter the prime minister to ask for treasure, and those noble children and wealthy family slaves, they enter the room early to watch the song and dance appreciation, who doesn't want to have a share of the fun to knock in?

When Zhang Jian came here with Du Shiyi, seeing that the courtyard was luxurious and the guards were solemn, he couldn't help but sigh and said: "Even if my generation is named on the gold list, I am afraid that I may not be able to step into this place." ”

"Not necessarily."

Du Shiyi looked at the crowd of onlookers, occasionally one or two carefully went to the door with their burdens to ask for a meeting, and then was led in, but from time to time someone in the door came out dejectedly, he couldn't help but smile slightly, and then said to Zhang Jian: "Zhang Langjun, let's go in." ”

Zhang Jian saw Du Shiyi striding towards the door, and the Kunlun slave behind him was also closely following, he was stunned at first, and then thought that he was born in the Jingzhao Du clan, and lived in the mansion of Cui Tai, the waiter of the Yellow Gate, it was not strange to sign up, so he hesitated for a moment and chased after him. However, what he didn't expect was that Du Shiyi didn't mention a Cui word at all when he arrived at the door, but pointed to the big leather bag that Tian Mo was carrying behind him, and followed closely, the gray-clothed middle-aged man in front of the door, except for the black-clothed guards, who specially inspected the treasures, actually let go without looking at it!

It wasn't until he stepped into the Thousand Treasures Pavilion that he caught up with Du Shiyi and asked softly, "Du Langjun, why did they let him go without asking?" ”

Du Shiyi looked sideways, and saw that Tian Mo was following him, so he looked at Kunlun Nu, who had risen a head in the past three years, and said with a smile: "It's very simple, this time it's his light." ”

With Du Shiyi, the master, in addition to serving the vegetable garden, he often went out a lot of times, and he also made mistakes at first, but Du Shiyi's admonition was admonished, and he never mentioned that he was going to sell him, and when he was hanging the peak of the Lu family's thatched cottage, he also let Hou Xiao, who was good at hunting and archery, teach him a lot of skills, and over time, Tian Mo's liking and reliance on this new master was almost the same as that of Xue Shaofu in the past. So when he heard this sentence at this moment, he couldn't help but ask curiously, "Lang Jun is talking about me?" ”

"That's right, that's you."

Du Shiyi was surprised to see Tian Mo, while Zhang Jian suddenly realized, and stopped explaining at the moment, until a servant very politely led him to an old man in the center. Seeing that the old man was looking at the things in the vermilion lacquer box in the hand of the person in front of him, he motioned to Tian Mo to untie the skin bag on his back. The next moment, the old man in front of him said lazily: "It's just a few South China Sea beads, and Cheng Sè is not the best." If you want to sell it, it will cost you a lot of money, just one or two halves of gold, and you will definitely not be in the eyes of those distinguished customers inside! ”

The brown-clothed man holding the vermilion lacquer box suddenly couldn't hide the disappointment on his face, and repeatedly emphasized that it was passed down by his ancestors, and when he saw that the old man didn't talk again, he had to hand the box to a servant next to him, and took a paper coupon in the other party's hand.

"Just go to the nearby counter to get the money. Whether you want a full copper coin, or exchange for gold, whatever you like, the next one! ”

The old man yawned lazily, but when he saw the group of three people behind him, he immediately stopped stretching. At that time, he was about twenty-seven or eighteen, and the scholar who was dressed in shabby clothes and had a cramped demeanor was directly eliminated by him, and the sixteen or seventeen-year-old white-shirted young man and the Kunlun slave who was holding a big leather bag next to him were the focus of his attention. However, before he could speak, he heard a laugh in the distance.

"Ha, isn't this Nineteen? Fan Chuan, who had only returned before, came to this Thousand Treasures Pavilion today, could it be that he wanted to sell some ancestral treasures? ”

Du Shiyi turned his head and saw that it was Du Wenruo, he didn't answer, only untied the leather bag that Tian Mo held with both hands, and immediately took out a short-necked pear-shaped pipa. In the face of his indifferent attitude, Du Wenruo was greatly annoyed, but he didn't want the old man who was sitting lazily to suddenly turn his eyes, and then jumped up on the ground, and he didn't even have time to put on his shoes, so he rushed to them, and without waiting for Du Shiyi to agree, he stretched out his hand, carefully stroked the panel, and then reached out and gently probed the back panel, and then retracted his hand like a hot hand, and then straightened up and looked at Du Shiyi.

"This panel should be made of cypress wood, and the back panel does not seem to be ordinary red sandalwood...... This Lang Jun, can you let me take a look? ”

Du Shiyi was only worried that people didn't know the goods, but at this moment, seeing that the other party was obviously a sharp-eyed veteran, he nodded calmly and said, "Naturally." ”

When he held the pipa in his hand, the old man was a little short of breath, until he took a deep breath and barely calmed down his breathing rate, then he carefully and gently rubbed the back plate, and then tapped with his hand, listening attentively from time to time. After a while, he suddenly stretched out his hand to pluck the strings, and after a few sounds, he suddenly raised his head: "Yes, it's Luo Shatan, and the decision is Luo Shatan!" This is the most haode material for making pipa backplates, and it is difficult to find...... And this is not a new material, but an old material many years ago, in addition to the mellow luster, the penetration of the voice is greatly enhanced, and it is priceless, no, this is a priceless treasure! ”

Seeing that the old man, who had always been picky, even his voice trembled, and the servant on the side knew that he had encountered a truly precious treasure, and he immediately pulled his legs and went to report to the person in charge. And Du Wen didn't want Du Shiyi to really come up with good things, so he immediately squinted his eyes and said: "Nineteen Lang, if the family heirloom treasure is sold, it will attract people's jokes!" ”

And the old man didn't seem to be aware of it, when Du Shiyi smiled and nodded and praised him for his good eyesight, he took the thing without care, and he couldn't help asking: "If Lang Jun is willing to sell, this thing can be a million dollars!" ”

"Not for sale."

Du Shiyi saw that Zhang Jian on the side was already dumbfounded, he spit out these two words, and was about to put the pipa into his leather bag, but he turned around to leave. At this moment, the servant who had just retreated in a hurry had already brought a middle-aged man over, and the middle-aged man shouted before he even reached Du Shiyi: "This Lang Jun, if you are willing to sell this pipa, our master is willing to pay three million dollars!" ”

At that time, the rice was only seven or eight yuan, and the pig was five hundred yuan, and the three million dollars made Zhang Jian's eyes shake for a while, Du Wenruo was also dumbfounded, and even Du Shiyi was surprised.

First one million dollars, then three million dollars, didn't he take advantage of Zhang Xu?

Thinking about it this way, he still shook his head calmly and said, "I came to appraise the treasure today, only because I have been uneasy since I got this thing occasionally from the Eastern Capital, so I left this trip." This item is not for sale, please forgive the owner. ”

Thinking that the servant rushed in just now and said that someone outside had brought a Luo Sha Tan pipa, several noble disciples inside exclaimed, and one of them was even more inevitable, although the middle-aged man was unhappy when he heard this, he still forced himself to laugh and said: "If Lang Jun is too little, this price is not negotiable." ”

Finding that Du Shiyi seemed to be indifferent, he had to accentuate his tone and said, "Dou Shilangjun, the prince of Bi Guo, is extremely interested in this pipa. Bi Guogong is the uncle of the saint, respect the first, if Lang Jun is willing to give up, and form this good fate, the future will be bright! ”

He thought that these words must have been said extremely well, but unexpectedly, the young man in front of him raised his eyebrows and said, "Is Dou Shilang actually here?" It is not surprising that someone can attach so much importance to a musical instrument, even if it is Dou Shilang. I said goodbye to the east of the year, and I haven't been able to see each other for a year, so please lead the way. ”

Seeing that Du Shiyi seemed to know Dou Shilang, the middle-aged man who was originally worried that he would not be able to do this for no reason and complained about the Dou family was suddenly relieved, and immediately said with a smile: "That is the case, this Lang Jun, please come with me." ”

When Du Shiyi went with him, Du Wenruo, who had been ignored like air, finally couldn't hold his face anymore, turned around with a sneer and left. And Zhang Jian woke up like a dream, gritted his teeth at the moment, and didn't care whether the follower could follow in, and dragged Tian Mo to follow closely.

When everyone entered the backyard, they walked all the way along a sandwich road, and finally came to an unobstructed lobby, and saw that there were many nobles dressed in silk and splendid clothes on the side of the seats, and there were brocade carpets in the open space in the middle of the hall, on which four or five dancers in light veils were twisting their graceful bodies, and several musicians behind them were cāo holding various sè instruments. In the sheng song and dance, there was a faint fragrance that seemed to be so sweet that it seemed to make people lazy, Zhang Jian only felt that his feet suddenly seemed to be heavier, and he hesitated for a moment before he followed the steps and stepped into it.

"But you bought the lute of Luo Shatan?" On the left-hand side, a reclining young man asked lazily. When the middle-aged man hurriedly came to him and squatted down and whispered a few words, he suddenly sat up straight and stared at Du Shiyi Tsai carefully. After a while, he hahadaxiao said, "Who can have such a peerless treasure in my Dao, but it turned out to be Du Jiulang!" Come and sit down, you were in the Eastern Capital Anguo Temple and Wang Shisanlang's pipa before, and your reputation has spread to Chang'an! ”

In front of everyone's eyes, Du Shiyi walked to Dou Shilang as if no one was around, and after bowing his head, he unceremoniously sat down on the seat brought by the servant girl on the side, and took a bowl of drink from another servant. After drinking most of the bowl with a smile, he said: "Don't hide it from Dou Shilang, if it weren't for that song "Chu Han", I wouldn't have been able to get this priceless treasure." ”
