The First Young Master of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 214 Jade Kylin Paperweight Appears

"Brother Yu, even though that's the case, brother, I really don't have enough money, so I won't participate." Wei Licheng said with some embarrassment.

Among the three, Xu Mantang, who was from a poor family, fell silent.

This is a golden opportunity to get close to Qin Bingyue.

If it is really what Yu Sheng said, Qin Bingyue can look at her differently, maybe her life will be a little different in the future.
Yu Sheng, on the other hand, simply went for the goal of traveling with beauties, and called out a high price of [-] guan on the spot.

"Isn't that Yu Sheng and the others?" Jin Yang glanced at the hall on the first floor, and heard someone asking for [-] guan, followed the sound and looked over, and finally saw Yu Sheng, Xu Mantang and Wei Licheng three people.

"Huh?" Hearing Jin Yang's words, Xuan Shijing also looked in the direction Jin Yang was looking at, and saw the three people sitting in the corner.

"I didn't expect to meet a student from the academy here." Xuan Shijing smiled and said, "This Yu Sheng's family is really wealthy. Look at him, the asking price is [-] guan, and he doesn't feel distressed at all."

"Are the citizens of the Tang Dynasty so rich?" Jin Yang knew that his father had worried a lot about the emptiness of the national treasury and the Ministry of Internal Affairs in the past few years.

"This is only a small group of people. This Yanlai Tower is a place where luxury and money are lost. If you have no money in your pocket, you will not enter this kind of place. To put it bluntly, all the brothels and Chu houses belong to the rich. Xiaojin Cave." Xuan Shijing explained: "In the Tang Dynasty, some people became rich and powerful, drinking and eating meat, some people had no worries about food and clothing, and some people still had no food and clothing. Cover up."

"But the emperor and his officials have been working hard all these years, and the Zhenguan year can be regarded as politically clear and peaceful, and the people are happy. Why are there still people who can't eat enough?"

"This is something that can't be helped. The world is so big, it's impossible for the dozens of people in the court to take care of everything, isn't it? Besides, the living environment of people is also a very important reason. These things are too complicated. In the future As my son grows up, he gradually understands what's going on." As for Jinyang's problem, Xuan Shijing couldn't explain the reason in detail, because the reason was too complicated.

Although Jin Yang has dealt with many political affairs with His Majesty Li Er and read many memorials, His Majesty Li Er will not let Jin Yang get in touch with these matters for the time being. His Majesty Li Er hopes that his daughter will be happy , worry-free, instead of becoming sympathetic to others after seeing these miserable things all day long.

The voices of bidding downstairs have become thinner, and there are not many people who can bear [-] guan.

"Ten high-grade Korean ginseng, plus three Dongzhu, a pair of emerald jade bracelets, Miss Yuxin, are you satisfied?" A young man was sitting on the middle table on the first floor, holding a jade cup in his hand, looking at it ignorantly. Looking at Qin Bingyue on the stage, the look of inquiry in his eyes was undisguised.

Judging by his attire, he must be from Goguryeo. Goguryeo people can have such a generous person in Chang'an of the Tang Dynasty, and their status must not be lowered.

"Brother Jing, that man is the crown prince of Goguryeo, Gao Huanquan, the son of Rongliu Wang Gao Jianwu." Jin Yang leaned in front of Xuan Shijing and said, "Two months ago, Rongliu Wang Gao Jianwu sent Gao Huanquan to the Tang Dynasty to report to his father. He offered Goguryeo special products, and the emperor gave him a very generous gift in return."

Xuan Shijing squinted his eyes, looking at Gao Huanquan with complicated eyes.

The countries around Datang are so shameless, you can come to Datang to exchange for a large number of rich rewards if you bring some worthless specialties. It’s not that the emperors and ministers are stupid, but their thoughts are destined to show that they are a great country. temperament.

But for a young man like Xuan Shijing, who has not been educated in orthodox Confucianism, he will feel that this is too bad.

But this is politics. In politics between countries, one must look good in front of one's face. This is what the superiors want most.

"Sizi, if I have the opportunity to tell Your Majesty, the Goguryeo sticks exchanged so many treasures of the Tang Dynasty with a few radishes of Goguryeo. This business is too bad." Xuan Shijing laughed.

If you want to look good in face, you don't have to send things out at such a loss.

Jin Yang nodded half-understood, anyway, brother Jing had his reasons for everything he said.

"I'm also offering a treasure, and I would like to see Miss Qin's face." Another merchant downstairs said, "A high-quality suet jade and unicorn paperweight! Gifted by His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, Mrs. Yuxin, can you please?" ?" Saying that, the Hu merchant took out the paperweight and held it up in his hand, as if to let Qin Yuxin see it clearly.

Xuan Shijing and Jin Yang looked at each other with serious expressions, put down the teacups in unanimous agreement, and looked at the Hu merchant below who was speaking.

Under the illumination of the light, the jade kylin paperweight reflected a charming light. The high-quality suet jade looked very transparent without any impurities.

"This is indeed a treasure." Qin Yuxin looked around and saw that no one made a sound, so he said, "If no one bids again, then this time"

Before he finished speaking, a voice came from the second floor: "Five thousand guan!"

Qin Yuxin looked to the second floor, and the person who was asking the price was Jin Yang who was sitting opposite Xuan Shijing.

Isn't that the girl who came with Cheng Chumo?What is she asking for?Qin Yuxin was a little curious, why would a girl's family be interested in Qin Bingyue?
Unbeknownst to him, what Jin Yang was interested in was not Qin Bingyue, but the Hu businessman with the jade unicorn paperweight in his hand.

"Si, you." Xuan Shijing didn't expect that Jin Yang would simply call out the price of five thousand guan.

"Brother Jing, this is an important clue." Jin Yang blinked at Xuan Shijing.

In other words, since you know who owns the paperweight, you can just send someone to check it out, so why waste five thousand guan.
Besides, the time to go boating on Xuanwu Lake with Qin Bingyue is on the first day of the next month, and there are still fifteen days before the first day of the new year. Who would want to go to Xuanwu Lake to blow the cold wind on the cold day? Xuan Shijing thought powerlessly That said, if I am not afraid of the cold, I would be very interested in going through such a journey. The key point is that the weather in November can be said to be thicker. Xuan Shijing almost needs a brocade hat and mink fur, okay?
Jinyang also knew that since the jade unicorn paperweight was in the hands of the Hu merchant, even though she sent someone to investigate, she couldn't help but still wanted to see Qin Bingyue, just because on Qin Bingyue, Jinyang I can feel the temperament of my aunt Pingyang whom I have long admired.What is left is a kind of curiosity about Qin Bingyue.

Jin Yang blinked at Li Tai who was on the table next to him, and smiled.

Seeing Jinyang's expression, Li Tai had an ominous premonition, how could he feel that his private money was going to leave him.

In the end, five people were confirmed. In addition to Jinyang and the Hu merchant, there was Gao Huanquan, the crown prince of Goguryeo, the other was a wealthy merchant from Chang'an, and Yu Sheng was selected with [-] crane tails. Among the five.

On the first day of November, there is a boat on Xuanwu Lake, and each of the five people can go there with an entourage.

"Brother Jing, are you playing the role of follower? Or am I playing the role of son?" Jin Yang looked at Xuan Shijing with a smile.

"May Jinyang explain, what's the difference between these two options?" Xuan Shijing smiled helplessly, let's just let this little princess say hello to Qin Yuxin for a while, and the five thousand guan is worth money. Just send it over.
