Chapter 187: Before and After Yizhuang Jingbao

As soon as Chen Yi and the others entered Yizhuang with their front feet, Jiang Zhen came in with Jiang Shanyuan in his back foot.

Jiang Zhen has rarely been to this place, and in his memory, he seems to have been to his father once when he was a child, but other than that, he has no impression.

There are many buyers around, all of whom are talking.

"Hey! Old ghost! How much silver did you bring with you to compete for treasure today?! ”

"Hey, hey! No more, no more! The old man brought thirty taels here! ”

"Thirty taels?! Didn't you pick up a treasure?! How can you suddenly be so rich?! ”

"Hey, hey! Xiao'er went to Beijing to catch the exam, and was fortunate to get a half-official position, isn't this rich! ”

Jiang Zhen sniffed carefully, it turned out that he needed so many silver taels here, and then he touched his small purse, which was full of broken silver.

After thinking about it, it was only three taels of silver in total, and it was poor! I'm afraid I won't be able to get in.

She was still worried, and suddenly a person came to her and said respectfully: "Hehe, little girl, are you here to participate in the treasure competition?" ”

When I turned my head to look, I saw that it was a white-haired old man, his eyebrows seemed to be hanging together, his face was wrinkled, and he couldn't find his joys, sorrows, and sorrows.

The old man is the reception here, he is enthusiastic, and he sees that there is a little doll in Jiang Zhen's arms, which is very cute, and he can't help but reach out and touch it.

Jiang Shanyuan was still a little scared at the beginning, but after a long time, he got used to it, although his palms were full of wrinkles and a little awkward, but in the end it was still comfortable.

"Hee-hee-hee! Tickle. Jiang Shanyuan laughed heartily and said happily.

"Well, the little girl is here to participate in the treasure competition." Jiang Zhen replied.

"That being the case, then please ask the little girl to show the post, if you don't have a post, it doesn't matter, you can buy it for five taels of silver there." As he spoke, the old man pointed towards the small wooden house on the side, but saw that there were four big characters written on it: "Commercial Post".

Hearing this, Jiang Zhen looked embarrassed and replied, "Need five taels?!" But I don't have that much silver. ”

"Little girl, I'm sorry, this is the rule of Yizhuang, the old man can't do anything, if there is no post, then ......" The old man was halfway through his words, but was interrupted by the person behind him: "I have a post." ”

Turning his head to look, it was Chen Yi.

But seeing him walk to Jiang Zhen's side, he handed out the post, and said, "She is with me." ”

"Why haven't you gone in yet?!" Jiang Zhen glanced at Chen Yi beside him and asked.

"Passing by." Chen Yi still lied.

"Humph!" Jiang Zhen pursed her small mouth, although she didn't say anything more, but the smile on her face couldn't be hidden, and the corners of her mouth were upturned, which was particularly pretty.

The old man took the post, checked it carefully, and after confirming that it was correct, he led the way in front and brought Jiang Zhen and others into the village.

"A few look, after passing the Chunxi Courtyard, I kept walking inside, and I arrived." The old man said, and left.

Jiang Zhen walked beside Chen Yi, and would look at him from time to time, as if when he was with him as a child, he was always full of freshness.

Jiang Shanyuan, who was in her arms, was also blinking a pair of big eyes, looking at Chen Yi and asking, "Third sister!" Don't you say he's a thief?! Why don't you catch it when you see it?! ”

Hearing this, Jiang Zhen was very embarrassed, and hurriedly covered Jiang Shanyuan's little mouth, for fear that he would say something more.

While smirking stupidly, he explained, "Hehe! Childlike words! Childlike words! ”

Chen Yi frowned slightly and shook his head, only to feel that Jiang Zhen was not much more sensible than the little doll in his arms, and he was all the master who was greedy for play and caused trouble.

After walking through the Chunxi Courtyard and entering the village, there is a crowd of people in the eyes, from the ancient to the rare, down to the weak crown, there are all there, the noise is in the ears, and it is not lively.

"Master! Here! Come here! Wang Ye popped out of the crowd, beckoned, and called.

After meeting with her grandfather, Wang Ye led the way in front, rubbing shoulders all the way, almost squeezing Jiang Zhen and Jiang Shanyuan in her arms to the ground, but fortunately, Chen Yi was beside her and opened the way for her.

"Master! Come! The wing room has arrived! When approaching the door of the wing, Wang Ye said.

There are three floors in Yizhuang, and the competition will be held on the first floor later, under the stage is the C position, there is no case, the second floor is the B position, there is a case without a room, and Chen Yi and others are in the wing room is the A position, there is a case and a room, the most noble.

Everyone was seated, and there was still time for half a pillar of incense before the start of Jingbao, Jiang Zhen and Jiang Shanyuan in his arms were all bored, and they played with their little faces.

Chen Yi saw it in his eyes, and only felt that when she stayed with the little doll, she seemed to be a different person, smiling smartly, looking forward to her beautiful eyes, waiting for Yaxi, and moving smartly.

As if he remembered something again, Jiang Zhen groped in the cloth gown, took out a small peach cake and brought it to Chen Yi, and said, "Oh! Thank you! ”

Chen Yi didn't take it, and asked, "Thank you?" Which thank-you gift is it? ”

Which time? Jiang Zhen didn't know that the person in front of him estimated that he had saved himself eight or nine times, but it was not something that a little peach cake could repay.

Jiang Zhen was still thinking about it, but he heard Chen Yi say: "No need, you can eat it yourself." ”

I'm not afraid that Lang Jun won't show his heart, I'm afraid that Lang Jun will reject his heart.

Very lost, eyebrows slightly drooping, holding the hand of the little peach cake, swaying and falling, the little mouth opened and closed, hesitated for a long time, but never spoke.

Jiang Shanyuan in his arms was bright and intelligent, knowing that his third sister was not smiling, it must have been harmed by the person in front of him, holding a pair of fleshy little fists, as if he was scaring Chen Yi, and said fiercely: "You don't need to bully the third sister!" ”

It's funny to look at, it's just a little milk baby, and I know a lot.

Chen Yi changed his mind, picked up the small peach cake in Jiang Zhen's hand, and ate it.

Seeing this, Jiang Zhen was first happy and then angry, the smile on his face was fleeting, and he was staring at Chen Yi viciously at this time, and said fiercely: "You guy!" I just gave you something to eat, and you didn't eat it! Why did you regret this?! ”

Chen Yi was still eating, his mouth was full of sweetness, and he said casually: "I'm happy." ”

Jiang Zhen brushed his head aside, muttered his little mouth, and said angrily: "Hmph! You! What a disgusting one! ”

He must have done it on purpose, loving his shame and his anger.

The two were still making an awkward noise, and no one paid attention to anyone, but they heard a shout: "Jingbao has a banquet!" ”

Looking down through the sill window in the wing, the treasure race has begun.

A steward stood on the stage, holding this gong in his hand, and struck it a few times from time to time, making a "Knock knock!" The sound signaled that everyone present quieted down.

There were two other ladies behind him, holding a small wooden box in their hands, but they didn't know what it contained.

But Wen Steward shouted again: "Quiet! Ladies and gentlemen! Treasure Racing Feast! ”

Everyone present closed their mouths one after another, stopped talking to their friends, and looked at the stage, looking forward to the next baby who will appear one after another.

"Master! We've heard that this time there may be a divine weapon in the treasure competition, which is cast by the current Nero master, if it is true, it is amazing! Wang Ye praised.

Although Chen Yi is not a martial arts idiot, there are a few people who practice martial arts, and he is no exception if he can resist the temptation of divine soldiers.

Clasped his hands in front of his chest, crossed his legs, and said loudly: "If it's true!" I'm going to take a picture of it! I'll give you as much money as you want! ”

Jiang Zhen on the side smelled and wondered, what kind of identity Chen Yi did and where did it come from, she was already curious, but every time she asked him, he replied: "I can't say it for the time being." "It's really appetizing.

The steward opened the first small wooden box, but saw that it was a palm-sized ginseng.

"This is a 20-year-old ginseng, which can replenish the five internal organs, calm the spirit, calm the soul, stop palpitations, remove evil spirits, brighten the eyes, be happy and intellectual, take it for a long time, and prolong the body." The steward paused, and then said, "The starting price is twenty taels!" Each increase must not be less than one or two! ”

As soon as this remark came out, everyone was shocked, and no one would say anything: "Twenty taels?!" Didn't you ginseng grow in gold?! ”

"That's it! Twenty taels is enough for me to build a shop! ”

"It's too expensive! It's too expensive! Don't buy it! Don't buy it! ”

The audience dissent was rampant, but the steward was still calm, knocking on the gong, "Knock knock!" He raised his voice and shouted, "Everyone! Be quiet! ”

"Ladies and gentlemen! Ginseng is the king of herbs, extremely precious, one or two a year, Tong Su is not bullied, and this 20-year-old ginseng in my hands, starting at 20 taels, is also absolutely reasonable, if you still don't believe it, you can also go after the banquet, go to inquire yourself, 20 years of ginseng, buy is earned! The steward said.

is worthy of being a veteran of presiding over Jingbao, and as soon as he spoke, someone bided: "Twenty-one taels!" ”

Once someone starts, it is inevitable that there will be impulsive people who will follow the price.

"Twenty-two taels!"

"Twenty-three taels!"

"Twenty-four taels!"

The price climbed all the way up, and finally it was set at thirty taels, which was purchased by a middle-aged man.

The steward was quite complacent, holding his beard, smiling, beckoning, and saying, "Everyone! Check out the next treasure! ”

Between the words, the lady behind him was holding the wooden box, walked to his side, and when the wooden box was opened, he saw that it was a pen.

"This is a good pen, caused by Master Deng of the Pingxiang Ink Workshop in Beijing, it must be the wolf king hair, the rod is a thousand feet of silver, the top is gold and copper, the workmanship is exquisite, the materials are excellent, it is a treasure." The steward said.

Hearing this, Jiang Zhen seemed to be a little unable to sit still, taking small steps from his position, clenching a small fist, his eyes were blazing, and he was particularly excited.

A good poet and calligrapher, she is no exception.

But this excitement didn't last long, and it was said by the steward, "The starting price is twenty taels, and the price increase shall not be less than one tael each time." "Poured cold water on it.

With a depressed face, he sat down on the seat, and even Jiang Shanyuan in his arms seemed to see that one or two were coming, and comforted him with a milky voice: "Third sister, laugh one, Shanyuan wants to see the third sister laugh, and when the third sister laughs, it is the most beautiful." ”

"Okay, the third sister is laughing, hehehe." Jiang Zhen forced a smile and said with a smile.

- That's it, although this is good, but it is still too expensive, my little bamboo pen, it is quite good to use.

"Twenty-one taels!"

"Twenty-two taels!"

"Twenty-three taels!"

After a while, the price rose to thirty taels of silver, and the bidder was a scholar, and he must have been a famous family to have so many taels of silver.

Although Shanlian pen is precious, but in the final analysis, it is not a pen, ordinary people will not spend thirty taels of silver, just buy a pen.

Seeing that there was no one to bid for the price, the steward immediately rang the gong in his hand, "Knock! Then he said: "Shanlian pen! Thirty taels! To this little friend......"

Halfway through the conversation, he was interrupted by Chen Yi and said, "Fifty taels!" ”

Hearing this, everyone looked towards the wing room on the top, all of them looked horrified, turned their heads to each other, and inquired with the people beside them.

"Hey! Do you know who the people in that room are?! ”

"I don't know! But that's the wing on top! The people who can sit there are all big people with heads and faces! ”

"Yes, yes, yes! I've heard that! In that room, if you have money, you don't necessarily have to sit in! ”

Fifty taels! With such a huge amount, no one will rob Chen Yi anymore.

Looking at the steward on the stage again, this was already a happy flower, and he couldn't stop covering his mouth and chuckling: "Hehehe, not bad!" Twenty taels has become fifty taels, which has more than doubled! ”

Soon after.

"Boom!" The steward rang the gong again and shouted, "Good pen!" Fifty taels! Owned by the people in the Tianzi wing! ”

Jiang Zhen looked at Chen Yi with a pair of big eyes, the boss with his mouth open, his face full of surprise, and after a long time, he exclaimed: "You, you, you!" How can you be so rich?! Fifty taels! I've never seen so much money in my life! ”

Chen Yi laughed lightly: "Haven't seen it? I've seen it now. ”

"Then you can lend me a look at the good pen?" Jiang Zhen hesitated for a long time, but finally couldn't bear the throbbing in his heart and asked.

"Done!" Chen Yi said briskly.

After a while, a lady entered the house and sent the Shanlian pen she had just obtained to Chen Yi.

It is a simple and unremarkable small wooden box into the eye, and when the wooden box is opened, you can see the good pen, which is placed firmly in it, and it is indeed a rare treasure.

Jiang Zhen was holding the Shanlian pen in his hand, he couldn't put it down, and his eyes were straight, and he praised: "Wow! This head! This tube! This top! It's really the best! ”

After the excitement, it was a long journey of loss, trembling, put the Shanlian pen back in the small wooden box, handed it to Chen Yi, and said reluctantly: "Oh! Give you back. ”

saw that Chen Yi didn't take it, so he just said, "I've sent you." After that, he ignored it and continued to look down.

Jiang Zhen's eyes widened, staring at Chen Yi, and exclaimed, "What did you say?!" ”

"Can you be quieter!" Chen Yi was busy covering his ears, and Jiang Zhen's voice almost didn't deaf his ears.

"Hey, hey! Sorry! Sorry! Jiang Zhen smirked and asked again: "You just told me to send me, is this true?!" ”

"Seriously! I don't like to write, so it's useless to ask for it. Chen Yi replied truthfully.

He didn't care, but Jiang Zhen on the side was overjoyed, and he hurriedly hugged Jiang Shanyuan and got up, jumping from the side room.

Looking at her happy look, her eyes couldn't be seen with a smile, and Jiang Shanyuan in her arms was also happy, and said happily: "Great! The third sister smiled! The third sister smiled! ”

After a long time, he calmed his mind, sat back in his seat, and thanked: "Thank you!" You have given me such a precious thing! I don't know why you're doing this, but if you regret it and want to take it back, I can pay you back. ”

Chen Yi smiled and replied: "You can just put it away, I will never regret what I said." ”

"Humph! Oh! Jiang Zhen smiled strangely, still pretty.

Jingbao continued, but she didn't care about these at all, she always stared at Chen Yi intently, and smirked a few times from time to time, just like a girl with a spring in her arms.

Chen Yi knew that she was looking at herself, and Qi Chu didn't care about it, but after being stared at by her for a long time, she was a little out of her mind, and said loudly: "Hey! What are you doing staring at me?! ”

Hurriedly retracted his little head and said angrily: "Hmph! What nonsense are you talking about?! Who's looking at you?! ”

Let's go, I can't beat her, so let's continue to compete for treasure.

A wooden box was placed on the ground, and everyone was curious, what kind of treasure would such a large object be?

But seeing that the steward bent down slightly, he opened the wooden box, and only after careful attention could he find that it was an iron sword.

The steward cleared his throat and introduced: "This sword is called Ah Bi, it is a famous swordsmith in Beijing, cast by Lu Mozi, the iron is the cold iron of the northern border, the fire is the Xichuan firefly, and the furnace is the South China Sea incinerator. ”

There are many people who come to compete for treasures today, and there are also many swordsmen in the rivers and lakes, such a rare divine soldier, how can they miss it, one by one, they are already grinding their fists, waiting for the offer.

Chen Yi is no exception, such a divine soldier, he must get it!

"Prices start at one hundred and fifty taels! Each increase is not less than ten taels! The steward said.

As soon as these words came out, everyone in the audience was shocked, and they couldn't believe what they had heard, this sword cost one hundred and fifty taels!

"Alas! It seems that the sword goes to the end of the world, and it can't be done without silver! ”

"Yes! No matter how high the kung fu is, I am afraid of kitchen knives, no matter how hard the kitchen knife is, I can't do it without money. ”

"Let's go, then I'll make a kitchen knife."

Although many warriors love this sword, they have no choice but to give up unwillingly.

The steward on the stage also knew what kind of amount one hundred and fifty taels was, and he didn't plan to sell it, but it was just a passing scene, showing the prestige of their Nanxun Yizhuang.

If someone can really take a picture of it, they are willing to hand over the sword, anyway, it is all money, and it is more convenient to exchange it for a silver ticket in their pocket.

Estimating that everyone present, they had these silver taels, and they could shoot this sword, so they immediately no longer hesitated, and quoted: "One hundred and fifty taels." ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone was shocked, and the discussion did not stop, I am afraid that if it starts today, many people will ask around, who is he? Where did he come from?
