Chapter 466: Bet
"This is something sent by the Fifth Princess, right? The fifth princess is from the Li family, this Li family really has good things, knowing that the old man Fang likes to collect, he deliberately sent such a group of rosewood, this is rosewood, there is such a small ornament is already commendable, but this ornament uses a complete set of rosewood, it is really strange! ”
The smile on Old Man Fang's face gradually retracted, and he didn't show much affection.
Instead, he smiled meaningfully.
"Fifth princess, this is a slap in the face."
"Why? This rosewood carved longevity word, extremely rare, to be able to find such a large rosewood, and carve it into this way, extremely rare, today in the scene, I am afraid that no one can shoot this rosewood. ”
"If you don't believe me, how about we make a bet?"
"Okay, what does the lady want to bet on?"
"If I win, I promise you something, and if you win, you promise me something."
"Okay!"
Nie Jingyang swore and smiled, this rosewood is extremely rare, even the palace can't find one.
This old man is extremely fond of collecting, and rosewood is the best in the collection.
What could be more expensive than this one?
After everyone watched it, the next person carried the ornament down.
Unexpectedly, one of the subordinates shook around, and the rosewood ornament fell from the potted plant, fell to the ground, and instantly shattered.
The white powder fell out of it, and everyone looked at it with different faces.
Where is this rosewood?
It's obviously just an ordinary dead wood that has been painted, and it's all withered inside, and there are insects crawling, so dare to use such a thing as shoddy and give it to Old Man Fang for longevity?
I don't know what these five princesses think.
Lu Qingrong smiled proudly.
Nie Jingyang looked over suspiciously, "Lady, how do you know that there is something wrong with this thing?" ”
"This thing is actually a fake made by craftsmen who are good at counterfeiting in the Treasure Pavilion, some time ago the Fifth Imperial Concubine sent someone to inquire about this thing, but she was very shrewd, and she didn't buy it in the Treasure Pavilion, but bought it in the hands of the customers of the Treasure Pavilion, and the customer was also sent by our people to pretend to be."
No wonder, no wonder the lady looked so calm just now.
The counterfeit things made in this Treasure Pavilion are really hard to distinguish between real and fake!
He thought he was sharp-eyed, but he didn't see any flaws, and he did it extremely realistically.
"Do you want to know how much Li Xuewei spent on this thing?"
"It cost a lot of money."
"Fifty thousand taels of silver."
Even if Nie Jingyang had been prepared, he was frightened by this number.
That's not a small amount!
How could Li Xuewei have so much money?
Li Xuewei had just gotten married, how could the fifth prince give her such a large sum of silver?
Most of them are the Li family's dowry, and the Li family is really generous, such a large sum of silver, said that it was spent.
And if they hadn't lowered the price in the first place, maybe they would have raised the price even higher.
"Lady, such a large sum of silver, it shouldn't have been given by the fifth prince."
"That's natural, if the fifth prince has so much money, he naturally doesn't have to bother trying to get involved with the Jiang family."
"What's the matter, the fifth prince is calculating the Jiang family again?"
Nie Jingyang looked over worriedly.
Lu Qingrong gently hooked his hand and comforted: "It's okay, he didn't succeed, then again, Prime Minister Li Cheng has always been a two-sleeved breeze in the court, but Li Xuewei is so generous, the previous Nantai County gold mine and the case of Jiangbei officials embezzling ink more than ten years ago, there are gold and silver missing, haven't you been investigating?" ”
"What does the lady mean, the Li family?"
"I didn't say anything, it's good if you investigate, as far as I know, the Li family has a lot of property in private."
Lu Qingrong is more and more suspicious of this Li family, no matter what, there must be something wrong with the Li family.
Mrs. Fang was already angry because the four princesses sent rosewood and stole the limelight of her daughter, but now she saw the four princesses embarrassed, and her face was happy, but today was the Fang family's banquet, so naturally she couldn't sweep away the old man's interest, and hurriedly beckoned someone to carry these things down.
The fifth prince watched from the side, and noticed that there were countless lines of sight looking at him, so he had no choice but to step forward.
"Master Fang, this should be a misunderstanding, it must be Xue Wei who got this thing wrong, but Xue Wei tried her best to get it for your old man."
Old Man Fang didn't see a clue on his face, "I have already seen it just now, this thing is extremely realistic, if you are not a master in the inside, you will definitely not be able to see it." Presumably, the five princesses were also clumsy for a while, and they were fooled. ”
Li Xuewei is known as the first talented woman in Beijing, and it is extremely ironic that the word clumsy can also be used on her.
The fifth prince heard that Old Man Fang was unhappy, but he could only accept it for Li Xuewei.
Although this old man has long since returned to his hometown, he still has a lot of power in the court, and many people are his disciples.
If he really compares to his students, Prime Minister Li may not have more disciples than him.
The fifth prince secretly scolded Li Xuewei for being too ignorant, being deceived without knowing it, and not checking it first, causing him to lose face today.
The fifth prince retreated apologetically.
The four princes watched from the sidelines, with a sarcastic smile on their faces.
Soon it was a gift from the four princes.
It is the real pen of Master Zhuang Miao.
Master Zhuang Miao has very few masterpieces since he became famous at a young age, and this painting can be regarded as priceless.
Mr. Fang likes to collect antiques, and he also has research on calligraphy and painting, and Master Fang is even more overjoyed with Zhuang Miao's calligraphy and painting, and this gift can be regarded as a good gift.
Sure enough, the smile on Old Man Fang's face was much more sincere.
Everyone was also impressed by Master Zhuang Miao's handwriting.
At that time, Master Zhuang Miao was young and promising, and it was not easy to be able to write such words at a young age.
It is precisely because of this that his calligraphy and paintings are highly sought after.
If there is one piece in an ordinary home, the authentic handiwork of Master Zhuang Miao, it is really a very long face!
Originally, Mrs. Fang planned to use this banquet to highlight Fang Jiaxin's virtuous and virtuous virtues, so that she could get married.
But today, seeing that someone was taking the lead, I suddenly felt a little suffocated.
But how can she be awkward with the royal family when she is angry?
"Grandfather, this is what I picked two days ago, it is a small thing, although it is not big, but my granddaughter's heart, I wish my grandfather happiness as the East China Sea, and longevity than Nanshan."
