Chapter 237 Jiacui Store
Along the way, there are traces of berry moss.

Baiyun Yijingzhu, spring grass closed the door.

Look at the color of the pine after the rain, and follow the mountain to the water source.

Stream flowers and Zen are relatively forgotten.

——"Looking for the Taoist Residence in Changshan in Nanxi" Liu Changqing (Tang)

……

Shopkeeper Huang opened the wooden box, and took out a bronze and gilt statue of a court lady from the box, and put it on the table of the Eight Immortals.The palace maid had a pretty face, her eyebrows were lowered, she knelt down on the ground respectfully, holding a palace lantern in both hands.The left hand is down, holding the base of the palace lantern.The right hand is on the upper part of the palace lantern, and the wide long sleeve is used to cover the palace lantern.

Shopkeeper Huang pointed to the palace lantern and began to explain: "The small door directly in front of the palace lantern is very particular. If you open the door a little wider, the light from the palace lantern will be brighter; if you close the door a little, the light will become narrower and darker. Such as beans.

Ladies and gentlemen, just look at the wide sleeves of this court lady.It is actually a flue, and the smoke generated by burning in the lamp will directly enter the body from the right sleeve of the palace lady, and the lower half of the palace lady's body is filled with water, so that the palace lantern will not emit choking black smoke. "

Everyone followed the direction of shopkeeper Huang, and it was true.I can't help but admire the ingenuity of the designers of the palace lanterns.

Shopkeeper Huang saw that everyone was interested, and he talked more vividly: "This treasure comes from the tomb of Dou Wan. Dou Wan's husband is Liu Sheng, the son of Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty, and the brother of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. He was named King Jing of Zhongshan.

This treasure is called Changxin Palace Lantern. It was originally the palace lantern used by Empress Dowager Dou, the mother of Emperor Han Jing, and was given to Dou Wan by Empress Dowager Dou.

If all the VIPs are in the same spot, you can bid. "

It turns out that 'Jia Cui Hui' is an underground black market, which specializes in trading antiques from tomb robbers.For the sake of privacy, those who can enter the market must be members.

Due to the shady business, many tomb robbers were reluctant to trade in Chang'an City.Over time, this town, which is only one day away from the capital, has become the first choice for tomb robbers.

The "Jia Cui Club" of Yuelai Inn came into being as the times require, and it has become a channel for communication between tomb robbers and antique buyers. 'Jia Cui Hui' mainly serves dignitaries.Therefore, before the goods are sold on the consignment, experts will also be hired with high salaries to help with the palm of the eye, and try to ensure that the antique calligraphy and paintings on the consignment are not fakes.After the goods are sold, Jiacuihui will also hire the best bodyguard agency in Chang'an City to deliver the goods to the place designated by the buyer.

At the same time, the proprietor behind the Yuelai Inn also has a very strong background. As long as the tomb robbers enter the Yuelai Inn, they will get both black and white protection during the transaction.After the goods are sold, Jiacuihui will also help the tomb robbers exchange them into "flying money and exchange" so that they can withdraw money in other places.Therefore, once tomb robbers dig up valuable antiques, they are willing to sell the goods here.

'Jia Cui Hui' has reasonable prices, considerate service, and often has newly unearthed rare treasures. After a long time, it has a good reputation and has become the first choice for the rich and powerful in Chang'an City to buy and sell antiques on the black market.

After shopkeeper Huang reported the base price of the Changxin Palace Lantern, Li Musheng glanced at Mrs. Guo Guo, neither of them made an offer.Only the rich family members quoted a price.

Shopkeeper Huang saw that no one else had bid, so he knocked on the gong in his hand and said loudly, "Congratulations, guest officer, this Changxin Palace Lantern is yours."

After that, with a smile on his face, he held the Changxin Palace Lantern to the hands of the rich family members.After waiting for the rich family to play with it, ask the buddy to pack the palace lantern into a box.

Then, the guys took out a long wooden box, opened it, and there was a bronze sword inside.Shopkeeper Huang drew his sword out of its sheath. Although the blade was partially covered with blue rust, it was still shining coldly.The sword body is slender, with a central ridge, and the forward curve is concave.The arc-shaped double-edged front is sharp, just like new casting.

The body of the sword is covered with regular black diamond-shaped hidden grid patterns, and there are several bird seal inscriptions on the front near the grid.The front and back of the sword grid are inlaid with sapphire and turquoise respectively to form beautiful patterns. The hilt is bound with silk thread, and the head of the sword is rolled up to form a garden hoop, and nine extremely fine concentric circles are cast inside.

Shopkeeper Huang asked the staff to take out a hundred sheets of rice paper and spread them on the table of the Eight Immortals. With a single strike of the sword, all the hundred sheets of rice paper were cut with a "shua".Blowing and breaking hair, extremely sharp!

After the demonstration, shopkeeper Huang carefully wiped the sword body with silk, and said: "This sword was obtained from the hanging coffin of Jiuqu River in Wuyi Mountain. It should be a product of the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. It is probably one of the few swords that Ou Yezi forged for Goujian, King of Yue. "

Before Shopkeeper Huang could finish speaking, the heroine in "Three Swords of Kongtong" shouted first: "We want this sword!"

Li Musheng squinted at this beauty with almond eyes and peach cheeks, and said with a smirk, "I want this sword too!"

Shopkeeper Huang said with a smile: "Don't argue, don't hurt your peace. The rules of our 'Jia Cuihui' are very fair, the highest bidder wins. The base price of this sword is 50 taels of gold, please ask this woman to make an offer first. "

The heroine shouted: "60 taels!"

Li Musheng lazily said: "100 taels!"

'Kongtong Three Swords' looked at each other and said, "120 taels!"

Li Musheng smirked, and said, "200 taels!"

The female hero jumped up against the case and said angrily, "You did it on purpose!"

Li Musheng raised the teapot, took a sip, and said, "It was on purpose, what can you do to me?"

The heroine's almond-shaped eyes widened, she pointed at Li Musheng, and cursed at him!
Li Musheng laughed and said: "It's not difficult to get this sword, as long as you are willing to drink flowers and wine with me tonight, this sword will be given to you by me!"

The female hero was furious, raised her eyebrows, touched the hilt of the sword, and was about to draw the sword out of its sheath.The elder Yingxia hurriedly held down the hilt of his sword.The two dragged and dragged the woman out of the secret room.

Mrs. Guo Guo gave a slight smile, opened her red lips lightly, and said: "Mr. Li suppresses first and then raises, good trick! I'm afraid this sword will appear in this girl's boudoir tonight. It's a pity that this girl has a stubborn temper, and I'm afraid she won't catch it." your way!"

Li Musheng laughed and said: "Madam is indeed a master of flowers, but it's a pity that there are not many girls in the world who can treat money as dung like Madam! In front of fame and fortune, they can still guard themselves like jade..."

Mrs. Guo Guo's complexion changed, and she was about to retort.Another treasure in the hands of shopkeeper Huang attracted her attention.

I saw a piece of exquisite, elegant, unrestrained and unrestrained calligraphy on the white linen paper:
"Xizhi paused his head: In the extreme of mourning and chaos, first the tomb and then the torment, the pursuit is so cool, the admiration is destroyed, the pain pierces the heart and liver, the pain is nothing to do!... I feel choked up at the paper, I don't know what to say! Xizhi nodded."

Every font of these dozens of characters is uneven, and the priorities vary greatly.Viewers can feel the gradual increase in writing speed and strength from the priority and frame structure of calligraphy lines.The writer was depressed at the beginning, but the more he wrote, the more indignant and sad he became. The pen moved like a snake, and his emotions were released freely with the tip of the pen.

Mrs. Guo Guo accompanied Xuanzong to appreciate calligraphy and painting many times, and recognized that this was Wang Xizhi's font style.

Mrs. Guo Guo covered her mouth and exclaimed secretly: "Could it be that this is really the authentic work of Wang Youjun?!"
