Tang Dynasty good brother-in-law

Chapter 1011 Sticks and Stones

At this time, Liu Mu was biting a pipe, leaning on a soft chair with a small teapot in his other hand, and on the small table in front of Liu Mu was a teapot measuring two feet long and one foot wide. big Stone.

Liu Mu was staring at the stone intently.

Qian Hengjun was about to go forward immediately but was held back by Cui Donglin, Qian Hengjun asked puzzledly: "It is a good opportunity to meet you, I will ask Concubine Liu to wait here, and then send someone to invite Mrs. His Highness Lu is here."

"What do you think is this place? Who do you think you are impulsively going to meet?"

Cui Donglin stopped Qian Hengjun with a few rhetorical questions.

The people behind Cui Donglin also blocked the others, and two of them grabbed Qian Hengjun and explained: "According to the people of Tang Dynasty, this place is just a romantic place, and we don't talk about government affairs here. Don't say I'm waiting, just come here A high-ranking official of the fourth grade of the Tang Dynasty also first asked the waiter here to ask Liu Concubine if he is interested in meeting, instead of rushing to meet."

Qian Hengjun hurriedly asked: "Then let's ask?"

Cui Donglin didn't know whether to laugh or cry, but the person next to him was still explaining: "It's impossible, this is not a place to seek a meeting at all. If you harass a distinguished guest, you will probably be kicked out."

The people around Cui Donglin spent a long time explaining, and only then did the officials from the Koguryo royal city understand.

Chang'an has Chang'an rules, and the nobles in Chang'an City also have rules.

Bad guys are not welcome, not only here, but after the name of bad guys spreads, many chambers of commerce and alliances will join forces to reject them.

What is Willow doing here?
The real purpose is probably only Liu Mu himself knows, but for others, Liu Mu is studying that stone.

A stone transported from Jade Mountain.

In fact, there are many similar stones, and to put it bluntly, they are rough stones.

But this one is very special, because nature has given this stone a very strange pattern, color, and traces of time.

People in Tang Dynasty like to gamble, but scholars in Tang Dynasty are better.

Tao Qian in the Eastern Jin Dynasty created the era of literati appreciating and tasting stones.

Liu Mu has observed this stone for a full two hours, Liu Mu does not believe that he has the ability to see if there is any emerald in this stone, or how the head of the water is.

But this stone, which has been lying on the river bed for thousands of years, is indeed very strange, and it also deeply attracted Liumu.

In the private room, Qian Hengjun still couldn't hold back, and gave the boy five coins as a reward, and asked Liu Mu to pass a book on his behalf, and asked if he could meet Lu, his big rival in Goguryeo.

The boy didn't take the five cents, not because he didn't like it, but because it was impossible for him to hand over the words.

Just in time, Yao Silian and Liu Zhenghui arrived. Yao Silian heard Qian Hengjun's words to the boy, took the greeting card and threw it aside, then used a gesture that Qian Hengjun couldn't understand, and left straight away.

Qian Hengjun gave the servant ten more coins and asked, "What does this guy mean? He looks like a nobleman."

"The two pavilion elders are both second-rank titles. They mean they are very angry, because Heting is a place of elegance for members."

Qian Hengjun was about to ask again, but was dragged into the box by Cui Donglin who discovered his behavior: "You are stupid, that is the Minister of the Ministry of Industry, he just meant to let you go, if there is a second time, I will Guaranteed that you will become an unwelcome person in all the noble clubs in Chang'an, because you behave like a pariah and a slave without etiquette."

"You..." Qian Hengjun couldn't get angry.

He didn't dare to shout, he was really afraid that he would become persona non grata.

He didn't dare to take the initiative to cause trouble, it would ruin the important affairs that Yuan Pure Land came to Datang to do.

Therefore, Qian Hengjun could only endure Cui Donglin's reprimand.

At the willow tree, Yao Silian and Liu Zhenghui also came to appreciate the stone. They sat on the chairs beside them and ordered two pots of tea, and then observed the stone by themselves.

After the waiter put down the tea and left, Liu Mu approached Yao Silian and asked, "Mr. Yao, what happened over there just now?"

"The little official of Goguryeo wanted to hand you a greeting card, so I scolded you back. This is really an uneducated barbarian."

Liu Mu looked around and got closer to Yao Silian when there were no other people waiting: "I came here on purpose today to let the Goguryeo people see me, but they couldn't get close to me, so thank you, Mr. Yao."

"Is this a trick?" Yao Silian couldn't help laughing.

"It's a trick. It's to make the Goguryeo people feel that I'm busy recently, but they can't see me when they want to see me. It also gives my people a chance to explore some of their secrets, and then I decide when and where Where and how to meet."

After listening to Liu Mu's explanation, Yao Silian nodded slightly: "Actually, it's not difficult to operate. They are envoys, so naturally the Ministry of Rituals will arrange them. You are not an official. It doesn't matter whether you see them in court or not. It's easy."

"That's right."

This topic will stop here, it is enough for Yao Silian to understand what Liumu means.

Yao Silian asked again: "How do you feel when you look at this stone?"

"This stone..."

Before Liu Mu could describe it, Liu Zhenghui interjected, "Describe it in one word."

"One word!"

After thinking for a moment, Liu Mu said, "Then it's He."

Yao Silian and Liu Zhenghui nodded at the same time, and Liu Zhenghui said, "If this stone hadn't been confirmed several times to be brought back from the riverbed of Yushan River, many people would think it is a Han River stone."

This stone is like a landscape painting.

"He, one of the eight spirits of the stone, this one is indeed a good stone. Nearly a thousand celebrities in Chang'an City have seen this stone. According to Tao Gong's stone scriptures, this stone should be an ancient strange stone thousands of years old. Born of heaven and earth, the older the age, the more chances of finding precious jade. This stone has already been priced at [-] gold, and there are quite a few people in Chang'an City who can afford this money, but few people dare to bet on this fortune."

Liu Mu nodded, a piece of rough stone that attracted the attention of countless people in Chang'an City, the nobles of Chang'an City could not afford to lose.

Six hundred gold is not scary.

The terrible thing is that this stone cannot produce high-end jade, which is more important to the nobles of Chang'an than money. If it cannot produce good jade, it proves that there is no luck, and it is not favored by the heavens. Jade is the essence of heaven and earth.

Liu Mu smiled: "It seems that this stone will be placed here in a year or two."

"Exactly."

Liu Mu asked again: "What is this stone energy, please give me some pointers."

After the two gave in to each other, Liu Zhenghui said: "Stone qi has been said as early as the Spring and Autumn Period. For hundreds of years, predecessors have continuously concluded that these eight qi are just sayings since the Sui Dynasty, not allusions or orthodoxy, so Knowing or not knowing, or even having a different understanding is normal.”

"Please enlighten me, Mr. Liu."
