Chapter 11 Ning Guogong Treasure Building
Hearing that Ning Guogong Zhao Pu was visiting, Ye Qi was a little happy. This Zhao Pu is one of Ye Qi's few trusted friends in Shengjing City.
Zhao Pu was originally Ye Qi's classmate in the upper study, because his father's predecessor Ning Guogong died early, so he inherited the position of Guogong at the age of less than twenty. Zhao Pu is obsessed with collecting strange things on weekdays, and his character is also very good, and he treats everyone with courtesy.
When he was in the study, Zhao Pu was friends with Ye Qi, and he didn't leave the study until he inherited the title. Zhao Pu once bought a few barbarian things from Yuezhou, and the relationship between the two sides has always been very good.
After Ye Qi was poisoned some time ago, Zhao Pu also sent some antidotes, although these could not resolve the toxicity, they also delayed the spread of the poison, so that Mo Lao could have the opportunity to find the immortal master to obtain the Lingyun Pill, which also made Ye Qi very grateful.
However, Zhao Pu was considered by the aristocratic circles in the capital to be a very unreliable nobleman. Because not only does he not look like a nobleman, but he is only keen on collecting strange things, and even often hangs with people in the market in order to collect some out-of-the-way things.
Because of this, the Queen Mother's birthday banquet that day set his seat in the outer hall square, not the inner hall, even if he was a first-class prince.
"Brother Ye, brother, I'm coming to see you! I should have come when you woke up, but I was preparing the Queen Mother's gift that day, and you have just recovered from a serious illness, so I think I'll come back when you get better." "Zhao Pu is in his early twenties, dressed in a cyan scholar's attire, and he doesn't look like a pro-noble at all.
"Brother Zhao, if you hadn't sent me some antidotes at the beginning, I'm afraid I wouldn't have survived!" Ye Qi said.
"Hahaha, Brother Ye is serious, I haven't seen you for many days, I can't imagine that you don't tell me if you have strange things, don't treat me as a brother!" Zhao Pu looked unreliable and said with a smile.
"Brother Zhao...... Because this matter is very important, the little brother has to hide it!" Ye Qi said with a haha.
"Also, it must be dangerous to take out such a heavy treasure. But your 'Super Invincible Longevity Great Immortal Peach' has now been locked in the depths of the treasury, and I can't see it anymore!" Zhao Pu looked stupid.
Zhao Pu then came over and whispered: "But, brother, I'm thinking about the barbarian holy relics I'm afraid there is more than one, it is said that the barbarian inner hall is quite large, if only one big immortal peach is enshrined, it is too cold, you say, do you have other small ornaments?"
"This ......" Ye Qi was a little embarrassed for a while, he couldn't say that the broken peach was just his own shoddy glass handicraft, specially designed to fool the old lady of the Queen Mother.
Seeing Ye Qi's hesitation, Zhao Pu thought that he had estimated correctly, so he immediately bumped Ye Qi with his shoulder, and said mysteriously: "Brother, if there are still these exquisite glass treasures, I am willing to buy them at a high price, what do you think?" Zhao Pu's eyes were very eager.
Ye Qi couldn't bear to disappoint him, and then rolled his eyes and said: "I won't tell you, I still have a few glazed treasures, and at that time in the barbarian temple, a few slightly smaller glazed treasures surrounded the huge glazed immortal peach. ”
"I guess you kid still have it! I can choose three treasures from my collection, and exchange them for one treasure for you, you can come to my treasure cabinet to choose, if you don't like it, forget it." Let me tell you first, some of the things in my collection come from the Immortal Master. Zhao Pu's eyes lit up, and he said with a very unreliable look.
"Immortal Master's Thing?" Ye Qi was a little incredulous, but he was aroused.
Seeing that Ye Qi was a little serious about the things of the immortal master, Zhao Pu's face was slightly embarrassed: "Ahem...... There are a few pieces, you can look at them if you don't believe them, but you can see them, but don't say that all I collect are rags!" Zhao Pu obviously didn't have much confidence in his collection.
"Okay, even if you don't like it, just don't exchange it, I won't say that the things collected by Brother Zhao are rags. Ye Qi knew that Zhao Pu was most afraid that others would say that his collection was rags, so he spoke out to resolve the embarrassment.
Then the two of them rode together in a carriage and rushed to the manor of the Ningguo Mansion outside the city, Mo Lao was worried that something would happen to Ye Qi, so as a housekeeper, he rode a black horse and followed behind.
As soon as he got out of the city gate, Ye Qi found that there were many shabby victims outside the city, and then he remembered that some time ago, there was a big flood in Dingzhou, and many hungry people fled to the capital, but they were driven out of the city.
"Some time ago, there was a big flood in Dingzhou, and there were countless victims, but the imperial court was keen on birthday banquets, hum!" Zhao Pu scoffed at the imperial court's approach. "Please, get something to eat!" cried a woman with two ragged children. "Something to eat, I haven't eaten in three days!" said a hungry old man who struggled to reach out for food.
Looking at so many hungry people, Ye Qi felt very uncomfortable, took out nearly a thousand taels of silver, and arranged for his subordinates to prepare food for the victims. Soon, the victims accumulated more and more, and Ye Qi took out more than 1,000 taels of silver, if he shared some food, it was estimated that most of the victims could eat a life-saving meal. However, Ye Qi does not have much silver on his body, which is already the limit that Ye Qi can take out. Many of these silver taels were indemnities received by An Guogong. Ye Qi and Zhao Pu both left a lot of men to distribute food before leaving. "Thank you Zhennan Wang Shizi for saving his life!" said the victims as they ate the food and thanked them as they got the food. "The grace of saving lives is unforgettable!" Many victims kowtowed to the place where Ye Qi left, and kept kowtowing and thanking. Inside the carriage, Ye Qi's face was expressionless, and he could feel that he was very uncomfortable inside.
Zhao Pu said: "Hey, there are so many poor people in the world, can you save them?"
Ye Qi said lightly: "Just ask for a clear conscience!"
Zhao Pu nodded thoughtfully after hearing this.
The morning sun is warm but not spicy, and the warblers fly and the grass grows along the way, and the birds sing and the flowers are fragrant. "The air in this world is thousands of times better than the world in my dreams!" Ye Qi looked at the scenery along the way, chatting with Zhao Pu from time to time.
More than half an hour later, Ye Qi and the others arrived at Zhao Pu's manor outside the city.
In this manor, you can see an attic from afar, needless to say, it is the treasure building that Zhao Pu is proud of. More than a year ago, when the Treasure Building was first completed, it not only attracted a large number of literati and scholars, but also attracted many famous snitches in the rivers and lakes.
However, soon the gentlemen and snitches were dumbfounded. Because Zhao Pu's collection of things is too unreliable. For example, the belly pocket of Li Xiaoyu, a famous prostitute in the former dynasty, the poems written by Ding Li, the leader of the Jianghu Martial Arts Alliance, before he retired, and the profane pants worn by the immortal master are rumored to be ...... In short, it's a lot of unreliable.
In the end, Bai Yufei, the most famous snitch on the rivers and lakes, also came to patronize, but found that he found nothing, so he was so angry that he wrote a few big words on the treasure pavilion, "Zhao Pu Zhao Pu is really unreliable", and then urinated directly on the wall to protest.
No one expected Zhao Pu to be overjoyed, and framed this wall directly, and the book was written by "Bai Yufei", and there was a sign in the corner of the wall next to it, "Bai Yufei urinated", which was regarded as a new attraction. If Bai Yufei came again, he would probably be so angry that he would spit out a mouthful of old blood.
Regarding Zhao Pu's pit goods, Ye Qi only had a share of the five bodies, and said secretly: "This guy, if he lives in the Huaxia Kingdom of his dream world, he will definitely be able to make a fortune with this non-mainstream cottage museum." ”
As soon as he entered this "Treasure Pavilion", Ye Qi found that it was divided into three floors. The first floor is mainly some daily necessities for scholars, farmers, industrialists and merchants, and hundreds of square meters of space, which are divided into agricultural tools, textile machines, and even abacus used by merchants. The breath of life on his face made Ye Qi feel very comfortable.
"It's such a nice place, you can see the world from here!" Ye Qi praised.
Hearing Ye Qi's sincere praise, Zhao Pu smiled on his face: "That's, I collected it after I traveled all over the country, although it is an ordinary thing, there are ordinary people behind everything, and there are families behind every ordinary person, and there are many stories." ”
Ye Qi nodded and said, "Well, yes, there is already a prototype of a museum." ”
"Well, the museum, hey, this is a good name, I used to think that it was called the Treasure Pavilion, it was always a little wrong, it felt weird, the things I collected were not worth gold and silver treasures, but they recorded life, if it was changed to a museum, it would be more appropriate! Let's go up to the second floor of the museum to have a look!" Zhao Pu immediately picked up the new term Ye Qi said, and happily pulled Ye Qi to the second floor.
On the second floor, the style began to mutate, there are many swords, guns, swords, halberds, many weapons, and a strong martial arts style.
"I've collected the weapons and costumes used by the disciples of the ten major sects on the rivers and lakes!" Zhao Pu said, and from time to time he was excited to explain to Ye Qi.
Here, Ye Qi also saw the legendary "White Jade Flying Pee".
As for the poems left by the former martial arts alliance leader Ding Li before his retirement, Ye Qi found that it was a description of the confrontation between a black dragon and a wild bull, and in the end, the wild bull was crushed and lost very badly, which made Ding Li, who was on the sidelines, disheartened, and felt that no matter how hard he tried, he could not compare with the black dragon.
Seeing this poem, ordinary people will feel that the writing is very ordinary, and the calligraphy is not very valuable, many people think that the black dragon in the poem refers to the rights of the leaders of the rivers and lakes, and Ding Li is disheartened about the rights.
However, now that Ye Qi is already a cultivator, he has other thoughts in his heart, he concluded that maybe Ding Li encountered a cultivator, so he realized the incomparable gap between the people in the martial arts and the cultivators, so he was disheartened.
"Brute Bull, Black Dragon...... Niu Kui, the leader of the Cao Gang!" Ye Qi suddenly thought of something. When Immortal Master Chen controlled the Black Wind Banner that day, the black qi was like a dragon, and for ordinary martial artists, it was as easy as the black dragon crushing the brute bull.
Hearing Niu Kui's name, Zhao Pu's face changed, and he hurriedly asked, "Do you know the family teacher?" Zhao Pu is obsessed with collecting, but he also loves martial arts, so the second layer is dedicated to the theme of martial arts.
Zhao Pu told Ye Qi that he had traveled all over the world, encountered bandits, and was later rescued by Niu Kui, and learned martial arts with his apprentice. It's just that he is a nobleman, so he has kept it a secret.
Ye Qi didn't expect Niu Kui to be his master, and he was embarrassed.
"Although I don't know the Niu Gang Leader, Mo Lao is friends with the Niu Gang Leader, and he once told me that the Niu Gang Leader's martial arts are extremely strong, and when I saw the sentences in the poem, I accidentally thought of it!" Ye Qi said.
"Hey, a year ago, my master suddenly disappeared, I inquired in many ways and found Ding Li, the leader of the martial arts alliance who might know, Ding Li didn't say anything, just left this poem and retired!" Zhao Pu's face was full of worry, although Ye Qi knew, but it was not easy to reveal.
After that, the two went up to the third floor, which is to display the things produced in various parts of the Liang Kingdom. Rice from Ningzhou, rhino wood from Yongzhou, and of course rare barbarian ornaments brought by Tuo Yeqi from Yuezhou.
"Today, brother, I'll take you to the fourth layer that I have never shown, it is said that they are all legendary immortal masters, but you can't say that it is broken copper and iron!" Zhao Pu said to Ye Qi with his ears close to his ear.
Then Zhao Pu found a mechanism on a wall for a long time, and with a slight turn, the wall immediately turned, and a small staircase appeared, leading directly to the small attic on the highest floor.
The two went up to the attic, and the small door closed automatically. Along the dimly lit staircase, you soon reached a small attic of more than ten square meters.
"It's really broken copper!" lit the oil lamp, Ye Qi still muttered this sentence. There are some dilapidated remnants and some debris scattered around the room, and no matter how you look at it, it makes people feel like a lot of garbage.
