Chapter 113: Always exchange the new peach for the old talisman
This Cheng Metropolitan Eunuch is the Hangzhou Metropolitan Eunuch.
"Cheng Dujian is a big deal, what did he buy the glazed jade Ruyi and the night pearl for, do you want to collect it yourself?" Qin Guan asked curiously.
"Although Cheng Dujian didn't say it explicitly, he said a word after seeing the two treasures, he said that there was something that could be taken out on the birthday of the prime minister, and he was very happy."
"I inquired a little, it will be Zeng Yu's birthday in a while, and Cheng Dujian is Zeng Xianggong's disciple, so I think it was given to Zeng Xianggong as a birthday gift." Zhou Taixiang whispered.
The Qin family leaned on Shen Xianggong, and Shen Xianggong and Zeng Xianggong were political enemies in the court, and the gifts that could be given to Zeng Xianggong were from Qin Guan's hands.
Hehe, interesting.
But it doesn't matter who buys it, anyway, we're just here to make money. Without these corrupt officials, these valuable treasures are really hard to sell.
Without thinking about this, Qin Guan stood up and said, "You handed over the matter of silver money to Erbao, now take me to see those jades." ”
Compared with these tens of thousands of dollars, Qin Guan cares more about these jewels and jade, which is something he made a fortune in modern times.
When he came to the door, Qin Guan saw a big car with a few boxes on it, and Qin Guan asked in surprise, "Are these these?" ”
"Childe, there are two boxes of jadeite here, one box of Hetian jade, and Tian Huangshi is the most, with six boxes."
Summoned the servants to move all these boxes into the study, the floor of the study was full of boxes, Qin Guan opened the box at will, and his eyes were dazzled by the contents of the box.
The whole box was full of jadeite, and although these jadeites were all rough stones, they had been worn off the outer skin, revealing the turquoise and smooth jadeite inside. He picked up a piece of jadeite the size of a book, a little heavy, the whole body was green and translucent, Qin Guan estimated that only this piece of rough stone would not be less than thirty or forty million.
There are two boxes here.
opened another box, it was a box of Tian Huangshi, Qin Guan picked up a piece of Tian Huang that was as lubricated as chicken fat, and it was estimated that this piece could be sold for tens of millions.
This time I really made a fortune.
It's a pity that I can't bring it back this time.
Qin Guan took two more treasures to Zhou Taixiang, a glazed Pegasus, and a string of pearl necklaces the size of a finger's belly.
Zhou Taixiang was shocked again.
"Childe's treasure here, take out one at will, they are all treasures that Tai Xiang has never seen, even in our Great Zhao Kingdom, such a treasure is rare."
After Zhou Taixiang left, Qin Guan moved all these boxes containing jade Tianhuang into the secret room, put them away first, and then bring these treasures back to modern time and space when there is a chance in the future.
Now Qin Guan is reading books and practicing swords every day, and many people come to invite him to participate in the poetry meeting, but Qin Guan basically refuses, and there is really a posture of retreat and hard reading.
As for that temporary mission, it has not yet been completed, and it seems that it is really difficult to make a name for itself. Qin Guan definitely didn't come up with those poems that he came up with were bad, mainly because the ancient communication was not smooth, and it took a certain amount of time to spread them.
Entering the wax moon, the New Year's flavor of the Great Zhao Kingdom is getting stronger and stronger, and every household begins to marinate the cured meat with pork, mutton and fish, which can not only be used as New Year's goods, but also can be stored until the summer of the following year.
And those literati are more active, inviting friends and friends, holding feasts and feasts, meeting relatives and friends, and singing in a low voice.
Merchants ushered in the peak sales season, and the market sold New Year's goods such as Buddha flowers, leeks, lettuce, orchid buds, Bohe, walnuts, and Zezhou dumplings; Bidding for the sale of brocade, the new calendar, all kinds of large and small door gods, peach charms, Zhong Kui, Xuanyi, tiger head and golden wisp flowers, spring post banner victory, etc., are very prosperous in the market; Hawkers sell mascots such as Tin Ta Chun Banner Victory and Pepsi Ji Huer along the street to prepare for the New Year's Day hanging at the head of the door, which is an auspicious omen for the New Year, and there are also city explosions, fireworks and so on.
On the twenty-fourth day of the lunar month, every family sacrifices to the stove.
Chinese New Year's Eve reunion dinner, unfortunately Qin Zhangyuan can't come back in the capital, although the Great Zhao Kingdom also has annual leave, a total of seven days, but this time is gone, and the rush in the winter is also a crime, Qin Zhang has not returned home for three years.
On the first day of the first lunar month, at the beginning of the new year, the Zhao people call it "New Year's Day" and "New Year's Day", commonly known as "New Year". As for the Spring Festival, it was changed later.
On the day of the Lunar New Year's Day, the imperial court will hold a grand and grand court meeting.
Early in the morning, the emperor got up and went to court, first pious incense, and prayed for the common people to pray for a hundred grains in the upper vault. Subsequently, the emperor gave the queen mother a New Year's greeting: "Yuan Zheng Qizuo, everything is new." Her Majesty the Empress Dowager Fu Wei will be blessed when she is in time and rest with the sky. ”
The Empress Dowager replied to the emperor: "The new Yu is the same as the emperor." ”
Subsequently, hundreds of civil and military officials greeted the emperor for the New Year: "Yuan Zhengling Festival, not winning Daqing, I would like to live tens of millions of years." The emperor replied to the ministers: "The auspiciousness of the new appointment is the same as that of the public." ”
Although the Great Zhao State and the Liao State and the Western Xia fought for many years, they also established diplomatic relations, and every New Year's Day, several countries should send each other "He Zhengdan envoys" to congratulate each other. Goryeo, Jiaozhi, Huifu, Khotan, Chenla, Dali, Three Buddhas and other subject countries also sent envoys to the capital at this time to congratulate the Great Zhao on New Year's Day.
The people are even more lively, the state of Dazhao has regulations, the first day of the new year, the second day of the new year, the third day of the third day of the new year to open the gambling ban, the public can indulge in gambling. In the past three days, you can see gambling scenes everywhere on the street, there are betting, there are lotteries, and the tricks are no less than in modern times.
At night, the ladies and ladies of the noble family also go out shopping together, enter the casino to watch people gamble, and go to nightclubs to drink and feast.
The time soon came to the Shangyuan Festival.
Shangyuan Festival is also the Lantern Festival on the fifteenth day of the first month, this day Hangzhou city is very lively, countless people will go to the lake to put lanterns to pray for blessings. The streets and alleys are lit up, there will be many lanterns and riddle guessing activities, and the state government will also organize fireworks.
Tonight is also a good time for friendship men and women to go on a date.
Two days ago, Qin Guan received an invitation from the Hangzhou government, inviting him to participate in the Shangyuan Festival Poetry Meeting, but Qin Guan thought about it, and finally just gave Qin Wei a poem, what is the meaning of spending the festival with a group of men, he is going to take his family to visit the lamp market.
I didn't pay attention to it at first, but I counted the number of people, and he was also startled, little sister Yu Pei, Yiren, bracelet, Ruexiang, Erbao, Shuxiang Moyun, Xiong Da Xiong Er, Yu Pei wants to pull the young lady, and naturally Rong Niang, this large number of people.
Walk into the long street, you will see that the lights are bright everywhere, the merchants are open, many large businesses will also hang out the lanterns, hold the lantern riddle to win the prize activity to help the fun, in the West Lake, along the long street of the lakeshore, set up countless color sheds, sell crown combs, pearls, heads, clothes, flowers, collar wipes, boots and shoes, as well as a variety of snacks and a variety of fun small commodities.
There are also countless jugglers, who open the field to perform, attracting bursts of applause.
Looking at the lake, a patch of lotus lanterns has been lit, floating on the surface of the lake with slight waves, as if the entire West Lake is lit up.
