Chapter 149: Clouds Cover the Sun (7)
Nan Chao snorted, "You just have a good life too much, I think I was in the market back then, and I didn't suffer anything, at that time, it was good to have a baby to touch." Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info”
Chisawa laughed, only he knew his past suffering.
"How's the layout going over there in Chang'an?" asked Qianze over tea.
"The contact between the merchants and the merchants is almost the same, but Chang'an is too far away from Chengfu, poor for too long, the houses and roads are dilapidated, the wind has been blowing recently, and when you go out, you will have a dirty face, and the wells and waterwheels are the oldest styles, how troublesome it is, and the poor mountains and bad water are out of the people, and the market over there is very chaotic. ”
Speaking of Chang'an, the Southern Dynasty had to spread its hands, and if it wanted to build Chang'an into a level sufficient as the capital of Penglai, it would take too much money and manpower, and if Qianze sent too many people and money to the past at once, it would cause panic among the ministers of the DPRK and China, and then there would be people with ulterior motives to make an obstacle from it, and it would be a lot of twists and turns.
How can we make Chang'an legitimately rich?
Chisawa also has a headache about this.
Suddenly, there was a report from behind the screen in the private room, and Liu Fuqiao walked in with a smile and squatted down to salute Qianze.
Nanchao nodded and stepped aside.
Qian Ze raised his eyebrows and said, "Didn't Miss Liu sign today's Concubine Firestone, why did you come here?"
"I heard that Qianjun is also interested in today's concubine stone, how dare the little woman fight with you, and ask someone to accept the signature and come back. Liu Fuqiao had a decent smile on his face.
"Sit down. Chisawa raised his hand and asked someone to bring the carved chair cushion.
"Qianjun is careful and considerate, I heard that Queen Xuan is pregnant, and now she is fine. ”
"If no one beats her mind, that's fine. Chisawa grimaced and put down the teacup in his hand with a bang.
Liu Fuqiao didn't dare to ask any more, and sat on the chair and looked down at the sixteen gambling stones placed on the pear blossom tree on the first floor.
Xiaoyao Lou closed the door today, there are dozens of guards outside the door, prohibiting all suspicious people from approaching, the road in front of the door is closed, ordinary people have to take a detour, it is impossible to see the excitement, so the gambling stone of Xiaoyao Lou often has mysterious rumors circulating among the people.
In the spacious hall on the first floor, the four walls are inlaid with moist agate, and the light and shadow of the incense candles are repeatedly refracted in the gems, illuminating the entire hall with golden brilliance.
Sixty-four sets of sandalwood tables and chairs are placed in the middle of the hall, the carved patterns are inlaid with fine pieces of aquamarine sand, and different tea sets are placed on the table according to the status of guests, ranging from gorgeous coral to the most ordinary silverware.
The second floor is a circular attic, divided into five private rooms, only one of the private rooms of Liu Fuqiao is empty, and the other four are seated.
The private room where Qianze is located is blocked with a jade screen, and the private room opposite is Prince Gong Qianyuan, on the left is Hu Yinfei of the ingots silver number, and on the right is Miss Rong Chengjia's daughter.
Rong Chengrin covered her face with half a silver foil mask as usual, and sat coldly in the private room, and her aunt Rong Cheng Piaoxue was simply carved out of a mold.
Prince Gong Qianyuan has a set of three-color glazed tea sets on hand, three-color glaze flows in from overseas, it is very rare in Penglai, and it is also a treasure of Xiaoyao Building, if the identity of the guest is not enough, it will not be easy to take it out.
Qian Yuan frowned and looked at the other side, his fingers tapped on the tabletop, and the housekeeper behind him immediately came up.
The housekeeper glanced at the other side, and already knew why his prince was angry.
The tea cup is made of the finest milky ivory, inlaid with intricate blood-red coral, and decorated with neatly sized black shark beads.
Qianyuan has a good face, and he hates others to press him on his identity the most, and at this time his face is already gloomy, pointing to the private room where Qianze is and asking, "Is there a prince opposite?"
The housekeeper hurriedly smiled and said, "Lord Wang, the one opposite is regarded as a guest by Xiaoyao Building, but Xiaoyao Lou is tight, and he can't ask for news, so let's be careful." ”
Qian Yuan slapped the table angrily and said in a low voice, "No matter how noble you are, you can still respect the prince?
The butler hurriedly said, "Maybe the waiters have the wrong tea set... Lord Wang, you are angry..."
"Tell them to remove the tea set, and this king will see who dares to be disrespectful in front of my Prince Gong's mansion. ”
It is no wonder that Prince Gong is so arrogant, he is already a status above 10,000 people under one person, and he is indeed the most noble status among the guests.
The housekeeper didn't dare to disobey the master's wishes, so he hurriedly called the waiter and asked them to remove the tea set opposite.
Unexpectedly, the waiter ran back and timidly replied, "Return... Back to the prince, the guest from Biyangtai said..."
Qian Yuan frowned, "Why, he dares to disobey?"
The waiter bit his lip, "The guests of Biyangtai are closed, and there is a Nan Gongzi next to the guest, please... Please stay where you can. ”
"Presumptuous! How dare a mere doorman speak to this king!" Qianyuan almost roared.
At this time, the bell for the start of the first gambling stone jingled, and Qian Yuan suppressed his anger.
"Hmph, this king will see what this arrogant guest is capable of!"
Qianze is light and breezy here, and he chats with Liu Fuqiao about some political affairs.
As soon as the bell rang, Chisawa couldn't help but straighten up, unfolded the folding fan and watched leisurely.
There are six stones of different sizes in the center of Lihuatai first, and it is clearly stated in advance that there are two pieces of wool from Longyuan Field and four pieces of wool from Hongchi Field among the six gambling stones, and the Fei Flint Stone is not among them.
The red jade of the red pond field is expensive and rare to everyone, and the stars and water emeralds of the Longyuan field are even more special, and the stars in the emerald under the moonlight are dotted, which is extremely gorgeous.
The six uncut rough stones are inconspicuous, and their appearance is no different from the adobe bricks and stones of the city wall, and the guests have to bet on whether there are any gems in the wool and how many are gems.
Six pieces of wool were passed between the guests, and the guests who were experts listened carefully, looked at the light and color, and discussed the value of this stone with their own guests.
A waiter brought a fist-sized gray stone to Qianze, Qianze shook it in his hand, handed it to Liu Fuqiao, raised his eyebrows and said, "Connoisseur, take a look?"
"A thousand kings have a good reputation. Liu Fuqiao carefully took the gray stone, knocked it lightly on the table, threw it away after listening to the sound, and chuckled, "The stone is heavy and the sound is not brittle, look at the lines and corners, the little woman does not think that there is great value in this stone, if you buy it back by the number of catties, it will not lose money." ”
Sure enough, some guests took the lead in buying the small stone out of hardware, and Xiaoyao Lou cut it in public, but only saw a large piece of star emerald in the corner of the nail, and it was really as Liu Fuqiao said, at most it would not lose money.
Qian Ze suddenly became interested, and chuckled, "You really know jade very well." ”
"How can a little girl know nothing about her family. Liu Fuqiao poured a cup of tea for Qianze, and said, "This is just a small fight, and the real bet is still to come." (To be continued.) )
