Chapter 170: Broken Jade

"This silver plate is also a fine item in the palace, and our King once used it to entertain the sages on the Tower of Wisdom. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½ā€

The jade merchant from the outer region was dancing with his eyebrows dancing to introduce a silver plate to everyone. He glanced up at the original stone in Situ Xing's hand, and said without care.

"Ten taels of gold, I want it!"

Just when Situ Xing hesitated when he was thinking about it, Li Chengze stepped forward quickly, looked at the jade in Situ Xing's hand, his eyes showed a provocative look, and said coldly.

The expressions of the people who were trading couldn't help but change, looking at Li Chengze, who was obviously angry, and their eyes showed surprise and disgust.

Even the foreign merchants who were talking about it had a playful look in their eyes.

What he likes the most is this kind of battle of wills.

As long as Situ couldn't help but bargain, the price of this rough stone would continue to soar.

In the end, it will even far exceed the original value of the item, and it is not impossible to break out a sky-high price.

"According to the rules of our outer lands, the two compete with each other, and the one with the highest price wins. ā€

The foreign merchant did not care about the extravagance he boasted about, and came out of the palace, and gave the silver plate that had been used by the sage, and said with some provocation:

"Both of them are young leaders, and the price of this rough stone is ten taels of gold, and the price increase must not be less than one tael each time. ā€

Situ Xing looked at Li Chengze, who was full of provocation, and couldn't help but have a sneer on his face, holding the rough rough stone, and said lightly with his mouth slightly open:

"Ten taels of gold, I want it!"

The foreign merchant's face froze, and he asked in some surprise.

"Mr. Situ, Mr. Li has already bid ten taels, according to the rules of the outer lands, you must increase the price!"

"This is not an outer land, it is a great cadre, so naturally we must follow the rules of the great cadre. ā€

Situ Xing glanced at the foreign merchant indifferently, his face was majestic and domineering, and he said without refusal.

The eyes of the foreign merchants couldn't help but streak, and the expressions on their faces couldn't help but stiffen.

The big merchant looked at Situ Xing's majestic gaze, and his heart couldn't help but feel that he had been seen through. But I couldn't help but secretly praise him in my heart.

In Daqian, we must follow the rules of Daqian. Although it is overbearing, it makes people feel a sense of blood boiling.

Compared with the two, Li Chengze's performance just now will lose a lot of points.

No wonder, Fu Juren regarded Situ as the successor of the mantle, and even took the initiative to run for him.

This kind of talent is like a cone in the bag, and it is only a matter of time before they come out.

"In Daqian, it is natural to follow the rules of Daqian. Situ Xing, this piece of jade, this son has taken a fancy to it, how about giving it to me?"

Li Chengze also regained his composure, looked at Situ Xing with eyes like knives, and said with some almost persecution.

"Huh!"

Situ Xing didn't care about Li Chengze's oppression at all, and he smiled lightly as if he didn't care, which also made Li Chengze feel like he was smashing his fist on cotton. I feel unspeakably uncomfortable.

"You can bid, it's very fair. ā€

The foreign merchant was still a little reluctant to give up, and said.

"Ten taels of gold!"

Situ Xing looked at Li Chengze's eyes without flinching. said in a cold tone:

"Brother Li, do you really plan to fight me to the end?"

"Brother Situ Nian's words are serious. ā€

"The gentleman doesn't take the favor of others, and he also asks Brother Situ to raise his noble hand. ā€

Li Chengze said easily, but his face was surprisingly solemn, and his voice was even drier, without any temperature at all.

Looking at Li Chengze, who was almost a scoundrel, everyone's brows couldn't help frowning, and they secretly despised in their hearts.

When the reputation of Situ was not obvious.

Li Chengze and Bai Zicong, the head of the case, are also known as Zhibei Shuangbi, and they are said to be gentle and elegant, and their knowledge is also first-class, and they are often praised by Fu Juren.

Some people even say that although Li Chengze's talent in poetry and articles is not as good as Bai Zicong, he is also a talent on the two lists. If you get the remnants of your father's luck, you will be able to pass the test.

As long as you stay in the Shendu for a few years, with the improvement of your article knowledge, you will definitely be able to be an official.

Therefore, many people voted for Li Chengze in advance, such as Liu Ziqian and others, who took this opportunity to sacrifice their wives for glory.

But today, it seems that it is better to see than to be famous.

Li Chengze is inferior in both talent and bearing, and Si's sentence is not a chip.

"Situ Gongzi, Cai!"

"Situ Gongzi, Cai!"

"Situ Gongzi, Cai!"

The people outside couldn't help but be very excited when they learned that Situ had actually proved the authenticity of the silverware through the drainage method. shouted loudly, and the waves rose higher and higher.

Even the carved windows were shaken, and the white paper pasted on them made a swishing sound because of the trembling.

"Situ Gongzi, it's good. ā€

"Situ Gongzi is the smartest. ā€

"I knew that nothing could hold him back. ā€

Sitting in the green cloth carport, wearing a men's felt hat, Lu'er, who looked like a small girl, waved his pink fist excitedly and screamed softly.

"You girl, you can't be more stable. ā€

"If the lord sees it, he will definitely hit your palm with a board. ā€

Fu Qiang Rose looked at the screaming Lu'er with some amusement, although her mouth was reprimanding, but her face also showed a hint of admiration.

"Lu'er, Situ Gongzi knows a lot. The sages who live on the tower of wisdom in the outer regions are no longer under the Confucianism of this dynasty. ā€

"According to the foreign merchants, the wisdom of this sage named Archimedes is far beyond that of ordinary sages, and he is infinitely close to the existence of a saint. Although his name is thunderous in the foreign lands, we really don't have rumors of him. ā€

"What's more, the matter of the sage measuring the authenticity of the crown involves the majesty of the royal family. It must have been kept secret. ā€

"How did Situ Gongzi know?"

"Doesn't the master often say that if you don't go out, you know the world?"

"Is it possible for Situ Gongzi to pinch and calculate?"

Lu'er opened her round eyes, held her cheek with her hand, and said with some curiosity.

"If you read more, you just won't listen. ā€

This sentence comes from "Lao Tzu", the forty-seventh chapter of the Tao Te Ching [sic] Do not go out of the house, know the world, do not peep, see the way of heaven. It is far away, and its knowledge is small. It is made by knowing what the saint does not do, not seeing it, and not doing it. ā€

This means that without leaving the door, you can deduce the affairs of the world, and without looking out the window, you can understand the natural laws of the movement of the sun, moon and stars. The farther he ran, the less he knew. Therefore, a saint who has the "Tao" can deduce the reason without traveling, understand the "Heavenly Dao" without glimpsing, and can achieve something without acting rashly

Xiucai does not go out and can know the world, which means that Xiucai is erudite and talented, and has the ability to perceive the changes of the world and predict the future. In the past, there were not many readers, people did not go out much, they had little knowledge, they respected the readers, and took the words of the readers as the truth. In fact, reading also understands more truth than ordinary people, so he is willing to entrust the affairs of the world to readers, which also produces this famous saying. ā€

Fu Qiangrose gently tapped Lu'er's forehead with her hand, and said with some lessons.

"Miss, you know a lot. ā€

"In terms of learning, many people with merit and fame are not as good as you. ā€

"If the imperial court allows women's imperial examinations, the young lady will definitely be able to become famous in one fell swoop. ā€

Lu'er was a little stunned, full of worship, and even said in a ghostly voice:

"If you want Lu'er to say, only Situ Gongzi can match Miss Shang in Zhibei County, and the others are vulgar and incompetent. ā€

Fu Qiangrose heard Lu'er's murmuring voice, and her face couldn't help but turn red, as if covered with a red veil. Some twisted their bodies, but they didn't refute.

Thinking of Situ Xing's handsome appearance, as well as his full stomach, and most importantly, the strength in his bones, Fu Qiangrose couldn't help but be stupid.

怂怂怂

On the top of the restaurant, Situ Xing and Li Chengze stood opposite each other, their eyes looking at each other, and there seemed to be an invisible airflow between the two of them that was constantly impacting.

Although this air flow is not large, it has an unexpected strength, and there is a cold emotion that everyone can't say.

Whether it is a businessman, a restaurant shopkeeper, or an errand worker. It was still a merchant from the outlands, and they all subconsciously retreated, avoiding the battlefield where the two clashed head-on.

"Brother Li, do you really want to do this?"

Situ Xing's eyes narrowed slightly, his voice was like a cold winter, his palms were clenched even tighter, his nails were inserted into his skin, and a trace of blood dripped down.

"Brother Situ Nian, a gentleman doesn't win people's love!"

Li Chengze's eyes were also contracted, he was pressed by the momentum on Situ Xing's body, and he was surprisingly uncomfortable, if it wasn't for the pride that supported him from childhood to adulthood, I'm afraid he would have withdrawn from the dispute a long time ago.

"In that case ... ā€

Situ Xing's cold face softened suddenly, as if an iceberg was melting, and it was as if the cold winter was far away and the warm spring was approaching.

Everyone only felt that the big stone in their hearts was moved away a lot in an instant, and even their breathing became smoother.

This Situ Gongzi is from an average background, and his age is not very big, but he is becoming more and more majestic, even Li Chengze, who was born in a wealthy family, is much inferior in front of him.

But there are also many people who feel a secret pity...

After all, in the end, Si Tu gave in!

If he persists for a while, Li Chengze will be completely overwhelmed by his momentum.

It's a pity ...

The muscles of Li Chengze's whole body couldn't help but loosen, and a faint smile slowly rose at the corner of his mouth.

The lowly is the lowly.

No matter how hard you struggle, no matter how hard you try, there is no way to jump through that barrier.

Tomorrow, the entire Zhibei County will know who is the leader of the young generation in Zhibei County!

As soon as he thought of this, Li Chengze's whole body trembled with excitement.

He felt that the things that had been trampled on by Situ were coming back little by little.

Moreover, after Si Tu's punishment, he will step on the soles of his feet, which will become a ladder for him to enter.

Syllable!

Suddenly, there was a very abrupt sound, like the sound of porcelain breaking.

Li Chengze subconsciously raised his head, his face suddenly became strange, and his eyes contracted even more, as if he had seen something unbelievable.

The others even opened their mouths, their eyes were wide open, and their faces were stunned to look ahead.

"How dare you!"

Li Chengze stretched out his trembling fingers and looked at Situ Xing in disbelief.
