Chapter 148 Proud of Kyushu

Tian Xu came straight to return the book, and met Bai Fu who was looking at the couplet at the door of the shop.

He only saw Xiao Si'er, but never Bai Fu, and thought that Bai Fu was here to join in the fun like other students who came here for fame, so he only took one look and then left.

Bai Fu stood at the door and stroked his chin for a long time.

After Mr. Fei asked about it that day, she went home and asked Luo Jin, only to find out that it was given by the grandson of the Huang family. Later, Yunqi told her that when she was away, the girl from the Huang family pestered her to buy her shop.

Connecting the front and back together, Bai Fu had a bold guess in his heart
but--
There was really nothing special about this alliance, and she was a little uncertain.

Sensing someone behind him, Bai Fu looked over, he was a middle-aged gentleman in rich clothes, that man looked at the door with piercing eyes, very intoxicated.

Bai Fu thought for a while, and asked:
"My lord, do you think this is authentic?"

Master Guo came to support Detian Pavilion again today, and when he suddenly heard the question, he recovered from his intoxication, and gave Bai Fu a dissatisfied look, "How can you say it looks like an authentic work?!"

Oh.

no.

Bai Fu breathed a sigh of relief.

Unexpectedly, the master continued: "This is obviously the real work!"

Bai Fu: "How did you find out?"

Master Guo: "Look here, here, and here. There are traces of Mr. Feng."

Bai Fu: "That may also be an imitation."

Master Guo stared at Bai Fu, "A single character can be imitated, but the overall style cannot be imitated!"

Bai Fu stroked her chin. For some reason, she always felt that this good-looking and elegant gentleman didn't look like a scholar. The comment just now was nothing but nonsense.

Bai Fu suspected that he didn't understand it himself, but just echoed what others said.

Bai Fu looked suspiciously at Master Guo.

"Then how much do you think this couple is worth?"

Master Guo was stunned, and raised his eyes to meet Bai Fu's sincerely asking for advice. Thinking of something, he swallowed the priceless treasure that came to him, "It depends on where it is sold. If it is in Shen's auction house, it can be auctioned up to 3 taels."

Bai Fu was startled.

A simple pair of words is worth 3 taels?

Just why the emphasis on Shen's Auction House?
Bai Fu became a little interested in this Shen's auction house, so he sat and chatted with Mr. Guo, who only knew his name but never met him, in the newly built pavilion.

There are many people with the surname Shen in the Daye Kingdom, but the most famous Shen family is the Shen family of Shen Chuanxiao, the second-rank minister of the Daye Kingdom and the Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry.

This Shen Chuanxiao is an extremely polarized character in Daye Kingdom. Some people say he is a traitor, while others say he is a capable minister.

But what really made him famous among the common people was after his daughter was accused of marrying the regent, and then kicked back by the regent's son.

Bai Fu remembered this incident, Second Uncle Yao told everyone as a joke when he was in Taohuawu.

"What happened after that?" Bai Fu asked.

Master Guo stroked his beard, and his young man's face was indeed not as good as my master's, and he said, "After that, Shen Shangshu was followed by the regent, and he wore seventy, eighty, ninety small shoes."

Bai Fu didn't know much about the inside story, so he just felt that something was wrong.

"The Prince Regent's son kicked him, the Prince Regent should be wronged, why would he wear shoes for him?"

Master Guo's lips curled slightly, "This is a secret."

Bai Fu approached Master Guo and whispered:

"This secret will surely not trouble you."

Master Guo's words were very useful, and he resolutely shared a secret that was not a secret, "According to reliable sources, Shen Shangshu doesn't like the regent, and married an unfavored niece on his behalf, which finally annoyed the regent."

This Shen Shangshu is very courageous.

Bai Fu let out a long and slow oh.

"Such a bold person, and he only wears small shoes? Didn't the regent just dismiss him?" Bai Fu asked gossipingly.

It is also troublesome to wear small shoes for people, so it is better to drive away quickly and save trouble.

The regent said it harshly, but that's all.

Master Guo chuckled.

"The struggle between adults, how can it be black and white like you young people, dismissal is not dismissed, but the Minister of the Ministry of Industry has also become a false post, I heard—"

Bai Fu was not interested in imperial court struggles, seeing that the old man had a tendency to expand this topic, he hurriedly pulled him back, "Then the Shen family's auction house has not been implicated?"

Master Guo choked.

Xindao, why is this young man so impolite to interrupt other people's gossip.

Don't you know it's hard to say half of it?

He held back his unhappiness, and explained in a neutral manner:
"Then the Shen family is not a character waiting to die. There are people behind them, and they won't be destroyed for a while."

Bai Fu said: "Then who is behind the Shen family?"

"That's a lot."

Master Guo said:
"It is rumored that the Shen family has twelve golden flowers, all of them are beautiful and talented, and nine of their daughters are married, all of whom are talents from the real power departments of Daye Kingdom. Individually, these people may not be the opponent of the regent. , but they should not be underestimated when joining forces, and the regent should not be too messy."

Bai Fu was stunned.

"The twelve daughters are all biological?" She asked in disbelief.

Master Guo had an expression of admiration or pity.

"No, they are all biological. The Shen family wanted a son, but in the end they couldn't have one. They believed in their fate after giving birth to twelve daughters."

This is a football team.

Bai Fu was curious, "He has many wives and concubines?"

Master Guo shook his head mysteriously.

"There are rumors that the daughters of the Shen family must be regular wives. That Shen Shangshu is a supporter of monogamy. There is only one regular wife and two secondary wives. His daughters are all legitimate daughters, so they can all marry well."

Bai Fu gave Master Guo a strange look.

She is now sure that this gentleman who looks like a scholar is not a scholar.

How can scholars have so much leisure time to inquire about these gossips.

Bai Fu was slandering on this side, while Mr. Guo on the other side couldn't stop the car when he opened the chatter box, and talked a lot.

Mr. Guo is an arty man. Raozhou is prosperous and well-informed by all kinds of gossip. Mr. Guo and those arty masters often talk about these gossips when they are together. It is smooth and detailed.

So Bai Fu had a deeper and more comprehensive understanding of Shen Shangshu, whom he had heard about for the first time.

For example, his eldest son-in-law is from the Ministry of Officials, the second son-in-law is from the Ministry of Households, the third son-in-law is from the Ministry of Rites, and the four, five, six, seven, and eighty-nine sons-in-law belong to certain real power departments.

Anyway, Bai Fu didn't understand it, but it sounded pretty powerful.

The daughter who was proposed to be married to the Prince Regent was said to be married to the Prince Regent because of her outstanding talent, which caught the Queen's favor.

As for why they were married on behalf of others, this is not clear.

Some said that they escaped marriage, some said that they died of illness, and some said that they were frightened by the rumors that the regent killed his wife. In short, it was a mystery.

Bai Fu: My lord, you don't have to go into such details.

Until Master Guo was called away by his companions, neither of them asked the other's name, and each other just missed a truth.

Bai Fu had something to go to town the next day, and seeing that it was still early, he went to the Shen family's auction house.

Shen's auction house is quite famous, called Ao Kyushu.

The administrative division of Daye Kingdom is very different from the previous dynasty. There is a capital of Kyushu, which naturally refers to Yuandu. The states are Rao, Qing, An, Huai, Yun, Yan, Hu, Feng, and Song.

Among them, Raozhou is the richest state, Yanzhou is the northernmost state, Fengzhou contrary to its name is the poorest state.

It can be said that the Shen family opened a shop and dared to call it Ao Jiuzhou blatantly. It can be said to be very bold.

Bai Fu walked into the shop with a relaxed expression. The decoration inside was magnificent but not luxurious. There were quite a few people, each holding a trademark in their hand. It seemed that there was also an auction today.

Bai Fu originally came to inquire about news, but seeing that the shop was busy, he couldn't find out why he asked now, so he sat down in a hidden corner with a good view, and wanted to see how this ancient auction was played. .

On the other side, Huang Qiuyang walked into Ao Jiuzhou reluctantly, and followed Huang Linger into the best box.

Huang Ling'er recently got into a fight with a young lady from the Cheng family. As long as it was an auction, the two would fight in a fit of anger.

Huang Ling'er wanted to avenge the Cheng family's girl for raising her price last time and made her take advantage of it, and the Cheng family's girl wanted to make Huang Ling'er take advantage of her a few more times. As a result, Ao Jiuzhou made a lot of money every time.

"Ling'er, why do you do this?"

Huang Qiuyang sat down and sipped tea leisurely, "If you fight like this, you will lose if you win."

He has never lacked anything since he was a child, and he is generally interested in rare treasures. It stands to reason that Huang Linger should be similar to him, but Huang Linger found other pleasures from this incident.

The old god Huang Linger was looking at today's auction list. Today is actually a special sale of melons, fruits and vegetables, and was taken aback. "What are the auctions for seeds?"

"Let me see"

Huang Qiuyang took the list and looked at it.

Cold melon, brocade lychee, pepper, carrot, and cotton are all names I have never heard of.

For some reason, he suddenly remembered that Qin Shisan said that shopkeeper Bai likes to grow some rare plants.

He smiled at Huang Ling'er:
"Ling'er, you have to work hard today."

Huang Linger looked at Huang Qiuyang puzzled.

Huang Qiuyang said:

"Compared with calligraphy and painting, your sweetheart seems to like these rare objects more."

Suddenly, Huang Ling'er put away the disgust just now, picked up the list and looked at it carefully.

A total of five sets of seeds will be auctioned today, with a starting price of [-] taels for each set.

Huang Linger has decided that she will take pictures of all five sets and give them to her sweetheart!
But she is not stupid, she knows that as long as she speaks to the girl from the Cheng family in the van, she will definitely raise her price.

Raising the price is a small matter, but being taken advantage of is a major matter.

So she asked the maidservant to go down to find an unfamiliar boy to bid on her behalf.

Bai Fu downstairs was stunned when he saw the list--
None of the seeds auctioned today should appear in this dynasty!Its preciousness can be imagined.

Where did the Shen family get these seeds in large quantities?

Rely on the sons-in-law of those powerful departments?

Bai Fu was amazed in his heart, and became more interested in this Shen family.

Everything else was fine, but Mian Mian Bai Fu clenched his fist nervously.

This, she is going to decide!
Clothes in this dynasty were mainly made of silk and linen. It was a joke to rely on clothes to keep out the cold in winter. The coolness and wind leakage were not as comfortable and warm as cotton.

Although she doesn't know how cotton is spun into cloth, it is good to find a way to make cotton thread for weaving clothes!
Bai Fu went to the clerk to get the number plate, and asked about the auction rules and the payment method. When he learned that he could use the business name to register the account, he resolutely listed Detian Pavilion on it.

The clerk was stunned when he saw the words Detiange, and immediately called for the shopkeeper. The shopkeeper ran over excitedly and handed him a 3 taels quota sign.

Bai Fu blinked.

Is the signboard of Detian Pavilion so valuable?
The shopkeeper explained with a smile:

"The reputation of Detian Pavilion in our Bailu Town is worth this amount."
