Chapter 245: The painting scroll is worth ten thousand taels
The location of this felt hall is the very center of the small square, and it is said that there should not be a palace here, because the existence of this palace affects the pattern of the entire square, and even affects the pattern of the entire imperial garden, which is very abrupt and does not match the surrounding environment at all.
It is clear that this is a makeshift temple.
There were already many people standing in front of the gate of the palace, including palace officials, nobles, and people dressed like Zhou Yang, who were discussing enthusiastically, as if they were waiting for someone.
A few others got together and took out some things each, as if they were exchanging things with each other. One of them was holding a few scrolls in his hand, as if he was still haggling.
The golden-armored guards brought Zhou Yang and his entourage here, and said lightly: "You wait here, His Royal Highness the Prince will be here in a moment." He did not leave, but stared at them.
Zhou Yang and a few young people were a little puzzled, so they sent it there and left, staring at us what to do, are they still afraid that we will not be able to escape?
However, the other two brocade-clothed young men who came with him each took out a golden ticket and handed it directly to the guard, who took the golden ticket and stared at Zhou Yang and the others.
Only then did they understand that they had to pay the entrance fee, so let's just say it!
The master who can come to the palace is either a dignitary or a dignitary, and there is money.
Several young people also took out a golden ticket and handed it over, and Zhou Yang did the same.
But the guard took his golden ticket and returned one.
Zhou Yang took it and saw that it was five thousand taels of denominations. He gave the guard 10,000 taels, which turned out to be recovered, but the entrance fee was 5,000 taels.
The gold-armored guards accepted the golden tickets, handed each person a jade plate, and walked directly into the palace gate.
The jade brand is very exquisite, milky white all over, without the slightest flaw, it is a good jade, and the value should be very expensive.
There are numbers on the jade plaque, and the numbers occupy most of the position of the jade plaque, which is very eye-catching, and they are their respective lot numbers.
Zhou Yang's time signature is ninety-nine.
After a pillar of incense, the prince has not yet appeared, but many dignitaries and dignitaries who participated in the auction have come one after another.
"Hey, this little brother, I have a thousand-year-old red coral here, I finally got it, it's priceless, look at it!"
After another cup of tea, Zhou Yang was about to walk around, when a middle-aged man dressed in a big red robe, wearing a purple and gold crown, not tall but extremely obese, came up, and as soon as he spoke, the fat on his face was about to droop down.
"Where did you get the thousand-year-old red coral?" Coral in the sea is not unusual, but red coral is another story.
This mutated coral is extremely hard to find, and the larger it gets, the rarer it becomes. If you deliberately look for it, you may not see it in your lifetime, so most of them come across it by chance.
This thing is rare, but in the world, it is just a precious ornamental object, something that the nobles play with, and it is useless to the cultivators.
"Naturally, it's the Sea of Life, but this is from the depths of the Sea of Life, and it's hard to find. How is it, are you interested?" The fat middle-aged man showed the red coral in the box, which was not big, but the color was bright and the quality was not bad.
"Why don't you put it up for auction, in that case, it should be sold for a good price. Zhou Yang was not interested in this, but when he heard that it was a thing of fate, he casually responded.
"You can get a good price, but there is no shortage of money in the next place, what is lacking is stunning beauties. How, does the little brother have the goods in his hands? As long as it is stunning, one for one!" the middle-aged man said in a low voice.
"Isn't Brother Tai's eyes very good?Do you see someone around me?" Zhou Yang was stunned, he was obviously alone, where did the beauty come from.
The middle-aged fat man glanced at Zhou Yang a little strangely, and then showed a look of disappointment, and his attitude obviously cooled down: "Little brother is the first time to come here, right?"
"Exactly. Zhou Yang was puzzled, how did he know that he was coming back for the first time?
"That's it. The middle-aged man turned and left.
"Brother, please speak clearly!" Zhou Yang was a little annoyed, what about his head back, when he heard that there was no stunning beauty, he turned around and left, and there was no etiquette.
"Just look at the scrolls in their hands. The fat man didn't look back, and pointed to the few people who were exchanging not far away.
"Scroll?" Zhou Yang's curiosity was aroused, and he walked towards the location of those people.
"What's the matter, the little brother also has good goods?" Seeing Zhou Yang coming over, a man in a purple official uniform looked up and said, holding a few scrolls in his hands.
"No, it's just a matter of asking a few people!" Zhou Yang really doesn't have the good goods they say.
"Do you want to change or buy some first?"
"So to speak. ”
"The price of these goods is not low. ”
"Can you take a look at it first?"
"No problem. The officer reached out and handed over a scroll.
Zhou Yang took it, unfolded it, and suddenly felt in his heart.
The scroll depicts a beautiful woman, and the painting is very good. The woman's eyebrows are picturesque, her makeup is jade, she is slim, and she looks very beautiful, but she is far from being beautiful.
What's more, with his vision, the people in the painting can only be regarded as average, much worse than Sima Ling'er and Li Xing'er.
Seeing Zhou Yang's expression, the official understood what he meant, so he handed over another scroll and said, "Look at this one again, but the price is very high." ”
Zhou Yang took the scroll, and the woman in the painting was indeed a little more beautiful than the previous one, which was considered to be in the middle and upper position.
"How do you get the law?"
"Ten thousand taels of gold. ”
"It's really not cheap. ”
"At auction, the price is definitely higher than that. The official seduced.
"I wonder if a thousand-year-old red coral can be exchanged?" Zhou Yang said.
"Hehe, little brother, how long have you not been to the palace? If it was a few months ago, a thousand-year-old red coral could barely be replaced, but now it is far from it. ”
"Oh. How much can that thousand-year-old red coral fetch you?"
"Forty or fifty thousand!"
"Forty or fifty thousand?" Zhou Yang was stunned, what kind of algorithm is this, your beauty is 10,000 or 21, and other people's thousand-year-old red coral can shoot 40,000 or 50,000!
"Hehe, the official didn't express it clearly, it's forty or fifty thousand taels of silver. Seeing Zhou Yang's puzzled look, the official also understood that he had misunderstood.
"I see. Zhou Yang suddenly said, 10,000 taels of gold, that can be exchanged for 100,000 taels of silver.
He has also bought a lot of things these days, and knows the exchange ratio between the two, and he also knows that the exchange ratio is even higher in the black market, 10,000 taels of gold can be exchanged for 123,000 taels of silver.
There are obviously people who sell beautiful women here, but the fat man doesn't come, but he has to ask himself if he has it, it turns out that he wants to trick people, it's really hateful!
"My lord, can this scroll be auctioned alone?"
"That's natural, trading in the palace, whoever dares to deny it, the scroll falls into whose hands, the woman in the painting must be delivered within half a day, otherwise it will be regarded as breaking the rules of the palace auction, and will be executed immediately!" said the official proudly.
"Alright, I want it. Zhou Yang took out a golden ticket from his arms and handed it to the official.
"Refreshing!" the official took the golden ticket and patted Zhou Yang's arm.
"Each other, each other. ”
"If the scroll is still in the hands of the little brother after the auction results, I will send this girl to your mansion and please tell her the exact address. The official said again.
"It doesn't have to be, I'm going to trade her for some treasures. Zhou Yang waved his hand.
"Hehe, it seems that the little brother is not a womanous person!"
"Prizes have been awarded. ”
"The second prince, the third prince has arrived!" As soon as the two of them completed the transaction, the voice of the golden-armored guard came from the side of the imperial garden.
"There are actually two princes at once!" Zhou Yang turned his head to look, but saw a group of gold-armored guards opening the way, and more than a dozen little eunuchs behind him, surrounded by two young men in Chinese costumes, strode over.
"Not just two, there will be other princes and princesses in a while. The official said softly.
"Oh, I don't know how many heirs the emperor has today?" Zhou Yang looked interested.
"Thirteen princes, twenty-one princesses. ”
"Hehe, the royal family is thriving!"
"Yes, it's very prosperous. But ......" the official only said half a sentence and then stopped.
"If you have any opinions, you might as well speak up!"
"I can't talk about teaching. The benefits of having many sons will also give rise to a lot of trouble. The so-called dragon gives birth to nine sons, each of which is different, but there is only one ...... for the throne."
"Oh, there is an ancient law, the heir is long, and the sage is on the top, are there other princes who covet the position of the prince?"
"Hehe, the official has lost his words, and the little brother has the right to laugh and talk, laugh and talk. The official suddenly changed his tone.
Zhou Yang's expression moved, but when he saw that the two princes were already approaching, everyone bowed down to salute, and then watched the two princes enter the temporary palace.
"The Seventh Prince, the Ninth Prince, and the Tenth Prince!" everyone had just stood up straight, and the voice of the golden-armored guard was heard again.
This time three more came, and everyone hurriedly bent down to salute.
In this way, several groups of princes and princesses and other royal relatives arrived, and Zhou Yang roughly counted them, and there were more than 50 people.
This Jin Chengguo royal family is really prosperous. But the prince, who was under one man and above ten thousand, did not come.
"Princes, please enter the auction hall!" a golden-armored guard walked out of the palace gate and sang loudly.
Zhou Yang followed the crowd into the temporary palace.
There was still a cold wind outside, but inside the palace it was warm like spring, which made people feel very comfortable.
Similar to the auction hall in the cultivation world, there is an auction table on the top of the palace inside, and there are rows of seats below, and there are no private rooms.
There is no auction number behind the seats, and everyone is seated in the order of entry, with the advanced naturally at the front, and the others in the back seat.
These people seem to have memorized their seats, and there is no phenomenon of grabbing seats, and the rules are very good.
After all, this auction hall is in the palace, and it is about seniority. Officials and high titles naturally sit in the front row, followed by those with official titles, and the children of officials and wealthy businessmen sit last.
Of course, the princes, princesses and others sat in the first row as a matter of course.
Although he didn't know it very well, with Zhou Yang's cleverness, he only glanced at it and understood the subtlety, so he moved back a little and sat down with those people in brocade clothes.
