Chapter 163 Red Maple Hall
The Red Maple Hall is very famous in the territory of Tibet, and it is rumored to be the property of a certain imperial relative, but it is unknown which one it is. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 There are really a lot of things auctioned by the Red Maple Guild Hall, of course, the treasures from all over Tubo are indispensable, and the most important thing is that you can buy some things that can't be bought elsewhere here. For example, the beauties of Tianzhu, the carvings of Byzantium, the herbs of the Arab Empire, the calligraphy and paintings of the Tang Dynasty, and even the treasures of Hui, Nanzhao, Goguryeo, Luzhenla, Shuizhenla, Linyi, Dashiguo, Tocharian and Shalan, have all appeared in the Hongfeng Guild.
As long as you have enough cash and put it on the Red Maple Hall, then you can buy whatever Red Maple Hall you want, whether you are a master or a pawn, as long as you have gold in your hand, the Red Maple Hall will not refuse you. Of course, to be able to achieve this scale, this hall naturally has a full background.
However, the guild hall also has the rules of the guild hall, and there are not many rules in this red maple guild hall, but the rules are unexpected. If the Red Maple Hall does not accept credit, no matter your status, you must pay more cash to buy things, and the Red Maple Hall does not accept silver, the only thing that can be used in the Red Maple Hall is gold.
In the morning, Sima Wuregret and the other three had a hasty breakfast, and then rushed to the Red Maple Hall. To say that this Red Maple Hall is really strange enough, but this Red Maple Hall is not built in Dali City, but in the Red Maple Villa three miles south of the city. The three of them had no choice but to ride forward.
The Red Maple Club is only open to the public twice a month, and the rest of the time you can't enter unless you are a regular customer. Today happens to be the opening day of the Red Maple Hall, so the people who let them go are also a little looser. It's just that after verifying the figure of Sima Wuregret, the three of them let them in.
"The red maple is only a corner of the cup, and it is among the strange things in the south and the north. ”
Entering the door, there was a couplet on the left side, Yang Fei looked at this couplet, but it was serious.
"This Red Maple Hall is not small. ”
Behind Yang Fei, Li Fengchen said sharply, it was obviously a gold cave and he had to pretend to be elegant.
"Brother Li, do you know whose handwriting these two couplets are?"
At first, Li Fengchen hadn't paid attention to it, but as soon as Yang Fei said it at this time, he also began to take a serious look at it, among the three of them, Sima Wuregret was completely illiterate and illiterate, if it weren't for his mother forcing him to recognize some words when he was a child, I'm afraid that now Sima Wuregret was born illiterate like the market.
Although Li Fengchen is said to be a famous family, but after all, he is also a martial idiot, and it is good to be able to make a little limerick poetry on weekdays, and he only knows a little about calligraphy and painting.
"Why, the font on the left and right of this couplet is different, could it be that it is not from the handwriting of one person?"
Yang Fei nodded, his eyes full of surprise.
"This couplet is not only from the handwriting of two different people, the one on the left is from Ouyang Xun's handwriting, and the one on the right is ...... Unexpectedly...... It turned out to be Wang Xizhi's!"
"What? You said it was Ouyang Xun and Wang Xizhi?"
Li Fengchen couldn't believe it, Ouyang Xun was the most famous calligrapher in the Tang Dynasty at this time, and all the dignitaries were proud to have a calligraphy of Ouyang Xun at home, and in the past two years, Ouyang Xun has gradually become old, and few works have flowed out, so the price of Ouyang Xun's calligraphy is very expensive in Datang, and he can't get it without a hundred taels of gold. And Wang Xizhi's words are not to mention, the words of this Eastern Jin Dynasty calligrapher have always had a price, and there were people in the Tang Dynasty who paid 10,000 taels of gold and did not buy a piece of Wang Xizhi's words.
What's more, if others have the words of Ouyang Xun and Wang Xizhi, they must be like treasures, and they are framed and placed in the inner room, or even hidden in the secret room, but this Red Maple Hall is very bold and hung directly in the courtyard.
Li Fengchen's first reaction in his heart was to think that this word must be fake. If a couplet is true, it will cost tens of thousands of taels of gold, even if you have money in the Red Maple Guild, you will not play like this. No matter how big the business is, the money is not blowing in the wind, and it is also this kind of famous masterpiece with no price.
"Well, yes, it's Ouyang Xun and Wang Xizhi, and this couplet is definitely genuine, and it won't be wrong. ”
Yang Fei sighed slightly, Ouyang Xun is from the Tang Dynasty, and Wang Xizhi is also their ancestor.
"This little brother has good eyesight. ”
Just as Yang Fei was sighing, a man in his forties walked in behind him, this person was wearing a silk dress, a shawl and a three-inch-long fox skin hanging from his waist, looking like a rich man.
Yang Fei glanced back at him, then raised his hand to compliment. Later, I learned that this person was the housekeeper of the Red Maple Hall, Mr. Li.
Today, there are a lot of things to be auctioned in the Red Maple Hall, but a lot of people have been squeezed into the rivers and lakes at once, and what everyone cares about is no longer a rare treasure, or a secret letter that has been sleeping for 20 years.
Yang Fei naturally came over, because the original owner of this letter was his master, Master Longkong.
Master Longkong's reputation in the Tang River and Lake is very big, not because of how good his kung fu is, in fact, no one has ever seen Master Longkong make a move, so there are many people guessing how much kung fu he has, or whether he can do kung fu or not. But one thing is that Master Longkong is definitely the person who knows the most secrets of the rivers and lakes in the past thirty years.
Many sects are trying their best to win over the master of the Dragon Gate, and even the Jiangnan Wuhu Sect also has such thoughts, just because the master of the dragon sky knows too many secrets. Sometimes it's not easy to pry some big sects, but sometimes a stimulating secret can make countless sects come one after another, most of the people who come today don't know what is in this secret letter, but the birth of the Thunder Swordsman twenty years ago is not a trivial matter. Any thing related to the Thunder Knife may affect the direction of the rivers and lakes, not to mention that the Thunder Knife is still missing.
"Brother Yang, do you know what's in the secret letter?"
Sima Wu asked Yang Fei without regrets, but Yang Fei also shook his head, after learning the news, Yang Fei had already sent a carrier pigeon to his master, but it took several days to go back and forth from Xuzhou to Tubo, so he did not receive a letter from his master. And this is an auction, as long as you bring enough gold, you can buy this secret letter. The problem is that Yang Fei is not a rich man, Li Fengchen can barely be counted, but when he came out of Tubo, he can only take out thirty or forty taels of gold on hand. When he was at the door just now, Yang Fei deliberately kept an eye on it, the Tianxing Tiger of the Five Tiger Gate pressed a deposit of one hundred taels of gold, and there were also a lot of representatives of the five factions in Yanzhou, and the little money he had in hand was really not competitive.
When Yang Fei was hesitating, the first lot had already been sent on the stage.
"This is from a landscape painting from the Tang Dynasty, a picture of the wind and clouds and rivers, which is from Yu Shinan. ”
On the stage, a woman with a better face is wearing a charming costume and bowing her head, and the two big men behind her hold up a landscape painting, which is a landscape map, but the river is foggy, which seems to be true and false, and is hazy and unseen. Sure enough, it's a rare gem!
"Bid two hundred taels. ”
The value of the Red Maple Hall is calculated in gold, and in the Tang Dynasty, the official ratio of Kaiyuan Tongbao to gold and one hundred taels was one to ten, which sounds like only two hundred taels at this time, but actually refers to two thousand taels of silver.
Whether in Tibet or the Tang Dynasty, copper plates and silver are the mainstream hard currency, and most of the gold is used by the rich to make utensils, and the direct use of the transaction denomination is too large and not very convenient. However, the Red Maple Hall went the opposite way, only recognizing gold and not silver, so all the quotations here were sky-high.
"Three hundred taels!"
A brocade-clothed man in front of Yang Fei shouted.
"Four hundred taels!"
Soon, the other person sitting on the right also shouted loudly, and after the call, he and the man just now looked at each other, wanting to see who their competitor was.
But the desperate person at this time is Yang Fei. With his master's temper, he likes to hide any secrets the most, even if he is the only disciple, there are very few who really know the inside story, and Master Longkong's statement about this is that the secret has to be dug by himself. It is such an old man, if one of his superstitions falls into the hands of others, and it is still in front of Yang Fei, I really don't know what Master Longkong will do to Yang Fei after he goes back.
Ridicule, ignorance, or let Yang Fei not drink for a month?
After thinking about it, Yang Fei had goosebumps all over the place, it was too terrifying.
However, just when Yang Fei was worried, this landscape painting of Yu Shinan had reached the value of nine hundred taels.
"My God, these nine hundred taels of gold are almost ten thousand taels of silver. ”
Sima Wuregret sighed, but no one else around him heard it except Yang Fei and Li Fengchen, otherwise this face would really be thrown into Tubo.
Although Li Fengchen will not be so rude, this price is also sky-high in his heart. There are many industries in the Shuangjian faction, which is located in Xuzhou, and many of its people rely on the Shuangjian faction. But there are also a lot of people in the Double Sword Sect who have to feed, and the money that can be saved in a quarter will not exceed 1,000 taels of silver, and if the 1,000 taels of silver are brought to this Red Maple Guild Hall, I am afraid that they will not be able to make a splash.
"One thousand taels!"
A man behind Li Fengchen said coldly.
In the Red Maple Guild Hall, everyone can't offer more than their own deposit, in other words, this man has pressed at least 10,000 taels of silver in the Red Maple Guild Hall, otherwise he will definitely not be able to open this mouth.
"There are a lot of rich people in Tibet!"
Li Fengchen sighed in his heart. (To be continued.) )
