Chapter 182: Eccentric
Prince Rong walked away, Hongfu threw down the things in her hand, ran into the hall, and saw that Wanying had already gotten up, and asked angrily, "Why did Miss fall asleep?" The prince has just returned! ”
Wan Ying was slightly surprised and said, "He's back?" You didn't put this blanket on me? ”
Yun Niang didn't know when she stood behind and said to Hongfu: "Girl, Miss is already a mother, I can't call Miss Miss anymore." ”
Hongfu Ghost smiled and stuck out his tongue, and suddenly pounced on Yun Niang, and said, "Hongfu knows." ”
Wanying couldn't adapt to the self-proclaimed name of 'Bengong' for a while, and stuck out her tongue like Hongfu and looked at Yun Niang.
Yun Niang looked at the two girls in front of her with a doting face, and said softly: "I just went to take a look, there is some moisture in the treasury where the dowry is stored, gold and silver utensils and ceramic glaze are all okay, the important thing is that those boxes of solitary books and calligraphy and paintings, before the spring rain came, carried to the main hall to put away." ”
Wanying stood up suddenly, nodded and said: "This big thing has to be done first, what my father gave is a rare and unique book of famous masters in the past dynasties, so that it will be moth-eaten, but it will be bad." ”
Hongfu nodded and said, "Niangniang and Yunniang will see where it is appropriate to put it in the main hall, and I will go find a few little maids to carry the box." ”
Yun Niang smiled and waved her hand, and Hongfu's eyes 'dripped away' and disappeared into the main hall.
A gust of wind walked to the backyard, stood in the yard, and shouted loudly: "Ten people come out, come with me to carry the dowry of the mother." ”
There was a row of maids in the two rooms, old and young, the oldest was forty or fifty years old, and the youngest was only eleven or twelve years old.
Hongfu led a pair of people and horses to the treasury, and said loudly: "This is our mother's dowry, a total of one hundred and sixty-eight lifts, ten lifts of gold ingots and gold jewelry, ten lifts of jade jade jewelry and jade gadgets, a total of twenty-one silverware silver ingots and silver tithes, ten lifts of precious porcelain, five sets of precious glazed ware, twenty lifts of clothes for four seasons, thirteen lifts of precious medicinal materials, two lifts of precious calligraphy and paintings, five lifts of precious books and chapters, and thirty-six lifts of antique treasures......
Hongfu shouted so loudly, the ten palace maids could hear it clearly, and there was a little maid of the same age as Hongfu, and the bell asked: "Our mother's dowry, let alone 500,000 yuan, right?" ”
Hongfu scoffed and corrected loudly: "Five hundred thousand? You also underestimate our master's family, and the dowry ordered by the palace office alone cost more than 500,000 taels of silver. There are also all kinds of gold and jade jewelry and gemstone hairpins that we treasure in our own home, all of which are treasures from the old lady, the old lady and the three generations of Mrs. Decree of our master's mansion. To say the least, it can have 500,000 taels. ”
"500,000 taels plus 500,000 taels, that's one million taels?" The little maid counted the numbers in her mouth.
"This is just the things on the head, thirteen precious medicinal materials, our lord gave five thousand-year-old ginseng, one less than 10,000 taels, as well as musk, seahorse, deer antler, tiger bone, bear bile, cordyceps...... There are countless of them, and these are trivial meanings. ”
An old maid pondered faintly and said, "These are all rare medicinal materials, more expensive than gold......
"No matter how precious it is, it can't be compared to our master's pampering mother's fist heart." Hongfu untied the key from her waist and plunged into a new silver keyhole. He also said loudly: "These are valuable things, and there are priceless ones in the mother's dowry, so I will make an exception for you to see and understand today." ”
Hongfu led everyone into the storeroom, pointed to a few big red boxes in the corner, and said, "These are priceless treasures. ”
"What is it? Is it the pearl of the night? Or is it some rare treasure? ”
Hongfu took out the key to open the box, took out a scroll from it, and untied it in front of everyone to show everyone: "I see that this is the authentic work of the famous painter Yan Liben in the Tang Dynasty, which was taken out by the emperor from the treasure library of the Great Inner and rewarded to our master." ”
The maid doesn't understand art, let alone appreciate cultural relics, can't understand who Yan Liben is, and doesn't know where the "Picture of Emperors of the Past Dynasties" in front of her is rare, just now the little maid asked: "How much can this painting be worth?" ”
Hongfu carefully held the rare scroll and displayed a part of the painting. Hearing the little maid ask the price, although she despised it in her heart, she also seized this opportunity and told everyone the price of this painting: "This painting is a priceless treasure, someone once took 50,000 taels of silver to exchange for this painting, but was rejected by our master." ”
Everyone was stunned. In this way, a painting less than the thickness of the mouth of the bowl can be worth 50,000 taels of silver. This is still a scroll in a full box, and if all the scrolls in this box are exchanged for silver, it will still be worthy.
"One tael of silver can buy 100 catties of top-top rice, and 50,000 taels can buy 5 million taels, Huang Tian Ancestor, just this one painting is enough for a small family to eat and drink for a lifetime."
Hongfu Niu said angrily: "This is just one of them, our master has chosen a total of one hundred and eight paintings for our young lady to marry." After saying that, he carefully tied the scroll and put it in the box. Suddenly, I caught a glimpse of the most worthless, and it was also the "Qingming Riverside Picture" that the teacher told him to accompany
Picked up the "Qingming Riverside Picture" and untied the tie with a big grin, and said to a few maids: "Let go, make a place, I will also let you see what the Tang and Song Dynasty customs are." ”
After speaking, he took the scroll, put it on the ground, and shook the "Qingming Riverside Picture" vigorously like shaking the dust on his clothes, and displayed the scroll in front of everyone.
Hongfu grabbed a little maid and said, "This painting is estimated to be the least valuable in this box of treasures, such as our master also spent 10,000 taels of silver from a dilapidated house." ”
The maids and maids couldn't see the value of this painting, and even Hongfu couldn't understand why Master Shi spent so much money to buy this painting.
Looking at the dense villains on the painting, a maid said: "This painting is definitely not as valuable as the one just now, this painting is a picture of ordinary people, dressed in coarse linen clothes, and the painting just now is the emperors of the past dynasties, all dressed in brocade clothes." ”
"What you said is not right, scarcity is expensive, the painting just now, there are few people in a painting, you look at this painting, it is all people, it must not be valuable."
Hongfu also nodded and said, "So the broken settlement is reluctant!" desperately said that if it weren't for the defeat of the family, they would definitely not make a move for 10,000 taels of silver. ”
"They see that your master is rich and noble, and they want to lie more."
Hongfu nodded triumphantly. He beckoned to a maid and said, "Just roll up the painting and throw it into the box." ”
The youngest little maid said meaningfully: "Sister, I see that these little people are painted vividly, better than those emperors just now." Let me take a few more looks. ”
When Hongfu heard this, her heart was as sweet as eating honey, and she directly greeted the palace maid who rolled the painting and said, "Don't roll it, throw it on the ground, and let the little girl see enough today." ”
Smiled and turned around, took the key and opened another box, and said indignantly: "Our box painting, to say the least, can be worth three million taels, compared to any grange, paddy field, much more valuable." ”
The maids didn't know the turmoil in the morning, nor did they know what Hongfu was referring to, but they all nodded in admiration.
"This box is three million, and those gold and silver medicinal materials just now are more than one million, which is four million taels!" The old maid was already amazed.
Hongfu opened an antique box, took out a cyan brocade locket, opened the turnbuckle, took out a bronze wine bottle and said, "This is the wine bottle used by King Su and Daji in the Romance of the Gods." ”
The crowd finally heard something familiar and flocked to it. There was a palace maid who accidentally stepped on the "Qingming Riverside Picture" and squeezed to Hongfu's side.
"Is this really the wine bottle used by the fox spirit in the Romance of the Gods?"
Hongfu pointed to an unknown Jin Wen next to the wine bottle, and said in a mysterious manner: "Look, these words are used by the king of Xu." ”
"Sister, no, looking at the words, it seems to be five, and 'King Xuan' is four words." A maid offers her own opinion.
Hongfu was originally nonsense, but suddenly there was a flaw, her face turned red, and she immediately added: "Stupid girl, the last word is a bottle, and it is connected to the 'Imperial Bottle of the King of Xuan'." Hongfu also breathed a sigh of relief after speaking. I secretly admired my wit.
The maid was also enlightened, as if enlightened, and said: "When I was a child, I listened to the king of the Xuan Dynasty for thousands of years, and I am afraid that this cup cannot be bought for 10,000 taels." ”
Hongfu didn't know the price of the wine bottle, but when she heard 10,000 taels, she still agreed in her heart. Nodding and repeating: "Say less than 10,000 taels." ”
"Tsk...... These thirty-six boxes of antiques, don't you also need three or five million silver? The old maid was already a little messy, and her mind was starting to get a little dazed. In her mind, she calculated the silver taels below three digits, and it was effortless, and the amount of calculations in front of her was far beyond her own calculation level. She could only temporarily omit the last unit of '10,000', calculate a result first, and then add the unit of '10,000'. However, the moment he completed the combination, he was also stupefied by this huge astronomical number.
Hongfu nodded when she was done. With a seductive gaze, enlighten the old maid.
Sure enough, the old maid stretched out her two hands, her fingers kept calculating, and at the end, she shouted: "Our mother will give these dowries, let alone 10 million taels!" My dear mother! ”
Hongfu finally achieved the purpose of this trip, and it was more ideal than she expected, looking at the old maid's shocked face, Hongfu showed a grateful smile. Thanks to this snobbish and calculating old maid. Presumably, this result can also be quickly spread throughout the palace with her temperament. This is the little calculation in Hongfu's heart.
Hongfu thought happily in her heart: The people of the Feng family will put gold on their faces, and so will we. Since your 10,000 acres of fertile land can feed the palace for a year, then these dowries of our young lady can feed the palace for a lifetime. “
Hongfu was thinking about the beautiful things in her heart, when she suddenly heard the little maid who was focused on "Qingming Riverside Picture" say: "It is estimated that this painting must be more valuable than that painting." ”
Hongfu didn't expect that there would be an accident, so she grabbed the little maid and said, "Good boy, if you want to see it, just come to me in the future......"
The little maid said with a look of surprise: "Sister is it true?" ”
Hongfu nodded and said, "When have I lied to everyone." ”
A pun, everyone nodded.
