Pingyang Fu of the Red Chamber

Chapter 136
Beijing Dongcheng,

Inside and outside the jewelry store, there were already crowds of onlookers, not only those daughters, but passers-by outside were also watching the peerless treasure outside the window not far away. Dozens of Zhang Jinyu's personal guards also got off their horses and came over to form a circle to prevent When there was an accident, the common people backed up when they saw it, but they didn't leave, and more and more people gathered, and the rumors became more and more exaggerated.

"Brother, what happened in front, so many people?"

"The inside is where Luo Yunhou buys treasures. I heard that they are from the palace of the previous dynasty."

"Really, how much money does that cost? It's priceless."

"Who says it's not? It's worth seeing once in this lifetime. Have you seen the purple light over there, baby."

"Where is it?"

The onlookers were restless again.

"Good baby, I want this one, please write it down first."

Zhang Jinyu didn't hesitate and asked for it directly. The shopkeeper covered the box, and the shining precious light disappeared in a flash, causing the onlookers to sigh. A rectangular box, this box is actually made of jade boxes, and it is made of high-quality suet jade. It is an eye-opener to see what is inside.

"Master Hou, this is another rare treasure. It is a jade hairpin, which means the sea."

"Good name."

Zhang Jinyu praised, and the shopkeeper thanked her,
"Thank you, Lord Hou, for your compliment."

The shopkeeper slowly put the jade box on the table, then took the box containing the jade bracelet back into the old box, and moved the jade box to the place where the jade bracelet was before.

Open the jade box, just for a moment, a rising mist-like light gathered around the jade box, and a closer look turned out to be a jade hairpin inlaid with gold, with gold in the jade, rare and unknown. Integrally formed, but not as if carved.

"Shopkeeper, this thing doesn't look like it was carved."

"Your Majesty has good eyesight. This is a naturally formed hosta that was discovered under the lake of Yueshi's Holy Lake in the extreme north. After being repaired by the master, it has become a peerless work. It looks like a halo of mist rising in the sun, and It is vaguely like smoke, and it is the treasure of the palace in the previous dynasty."

Zhang Jinyu also nodded cautiously. These treasures are more expensive and rarer than the other, and they all come from the previous dynasty, which is not something ordinary people can have.

Moreover, it is kept so well, without damage, and obviously knows how to maintain it. Only the powerful people in the palace can get it. Who could it be? Could it be the remnants of the previous dynasty.

But it's not right, this great martial arts has been around for so many years, and the White Lotus Sect uprising didn't come to the fore back then, which shows that the power of the previous dynasty is almost gone. Looking at the shopkeeper kneeling on the ground in front of him, Zhang Jinyu raised his head and looked at the shopkeeper sternly, and said sternly ;
"Fifty chords for no reason, one chord and one pillar to think about the Chinese New Year. Zhuang Shengxiao dreamed of butterflies, Wang Dichun entrusted cuckoos with his heart. There are tears in the moon and pearls in the sea, and smoke in the warm jade in Lantian. Can this feeling be remembered? But at that time, I was at a loss. This jade is in the sky, who are you?"

The crowd of onlookers was also in an uproar. They looked at the two people inside in disbelief, and looked at Hou Ye in shock and couldn't believe how outstanding his literary talent was. What's more, they guessed who the shopkeeper was, and even took out such a treasure.

And Li Wan's master and servant, who were supposed to leave, did not go far, and stopped in the crowd. They heard the words that Lord Hou uttered, and their beautiful eyes were full of color, and they repeated the poems that Lord Hou said repeatedly in their mouths. Fifty strings, one string and one pillar to think about the year of China. There are tears in the moon and pearls in the sea, and the sun in Lantian is warm and the jade produces smoke.Can this feeling be remembered? It's just that I was at a loss at the time.

Yes, it was just that I was lost at the time, and a stream of clear tears flowed down, regretting the beginning.

"Miss."

Su Yun asked worriedly,
Li Wan replied;

"Nothing, let's go back."

"Yes."

The two master and servant retreated silently again, this time they did not turn around again, they just looked back and then gradually moved away.

But the shopkeeper in the shop smiled without saying a word, and covered the jade box,
"Hou Ye, you have a great literary talent. I didn't expect that you are not only a hero, but also have such a superb literary talent. There are tears in the moon and pearls in the sea, and the sun is warm in Lantian. Jade smokes. It matches this thing. This thing has been bound to this poem since then. It will be passed down through the ages, and it is a good story, as for the villain, we will talk about it later, you still want to see the treasure."

The shopkeeper's words were spread by the good-natured people, and everyone, especially the scholars, was eager to recite what Master Hou had read, hoping to learn something. Zhang Jinyu was surprised. He didn't expect that there was no such thing as a popular poem in this world. It's easy to handle when you are forced, and I never thought that a jewelry store would be Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon.

Zhang Jinyu also relaxed to see what the shopkeeper's purpose was,
"Okay, Ben Hou said it, as long as it is true, Ben Hou will take care of everything."

"Okay, Master Hou is refreshing, Master Hou is here to take a look."

The shopkeeper dragged out another black box, which looked very heavy, and only heard a thud when it hit the table heavily. The old rules covered the jade box and put it into the old box. Zhang Jinyu looked carefully for a while, and it should be a jade box. A box made of a kind of iron ore. I don't know what kind of iron ore it is, and I don't know what is suitable for it. It is much larger than the previous two and grows into strips.

"The shopkeeper's item is very heavy for He Baowu. What's so special about this box?"

"Master Hou, this item is very unusual. It is another treasure in the palace of the previous dynasty. It is called Huoyu. The outer box is made of magnets, which can insulate the temperature."

After the shopkeeper finished speaking, he opened the magnet box, and a piece of crystal clear fiery red jade leaked out, and the surrounding temperature continued to rise, and it did not move to the sun, its light reached dozens of steps away, and even the temperature outside the house was also warm Yes, the illuminated people cried out;
"God, it's so warm, a peerless treasure, I feel like my legs don't hurt anymore."

"Mine too, mine too."

When the others heard this, they frantically rushed forward, and the guards drew out their knives and shouted;
"Back all, all back."

Seeing the ferocious soldiers, the people regained their sense and retreated slowly.

The shopkeeper closed the lid, stared into Lord Hou's eyes and asked;

"Master Hou, the three treasures passed down from our ancestors are all here. May I ask how you bid? How much is it worth?"

Zhang Jinyu has never seen such a valuable item even in two lifetimes, but knowing that it is really a loss not to have a million taels, I can only say;
"It's priceless."

"Hou Ye's words are true. These three things are also three dead things in Baobao, and they all have prices. In the previous dynasty, the starting price of these three things was one million taels of silver. I will count by one million taels. Three million taels of silver."

"Yes, it's worth it, but this Marquis can't take it out."

Zhang Jinyu shook her head helplessly when she heard this. She only had 200 million taels of banknotes with her. Besides, it was still useful, but if you missed it, you would lose money.

The whole street exploded, and when they heard that the three items were going to sell for 300 million taels of silver, which was a sky-high price, everyone was discussing and envious.

"Master Hou, didn't you ask who the villain is? The younger one is Shang Da, the fifth-generation descendant of the nephew of the former chief eunuch. The younger one knows that he can't go back when he takes out the treasures this time. He wants to buy two of them. Lord Hou's promise."

"Come and listen."

Zhang Jinyu didn't expect that this was a model of a great hermit in the city, and wanted to hear what he had to say.

"Master Hou, use one of them to buy peace for my whole family. The villain has been passed down for five generations, and only one son is named Yu, Shang Yu."

Zhang Jinyu thought about it for a while, and there was nothing wrong with it. The previous dynasty had already passed away, so she nodded.

"Yes, the Marquis agreed. There is no person in charge of the chamber of commerce in the capital, so you can be the manager."

The shopkeeper immediately knelt down to thank him, then knelt there and said,

"Exchange another thing for my son's wealth in this life, please be kind to Lord Hou."

"You're talking about your son, Shang Yu, right? It's easy to talk about. Come to Benhou to be a personal guard first, okay?"

"Thank you Marquis,"

The shopkeeper knelt down and thanked again, then got up, hugged a fist,
"The rest will be given to Hou Ye's mother, for the old lady to use to relieve the cold."

Zhang Jinyu disagreed, her mother was filial, and if she didn't spend a penny to get treasures, it would be troublesome to be jealous.

"There's no need for this. There are only three things. Benhou is not a domineering person. It is my filial piety to buy this thing and give it to Benhou's mother."

Zhang Jinyu took out ten silver bills of 10 taels and handed them over. After the shopkeeper took them, he offered them with both hands.

"Master Hou's filial piety can be learned from all over the world. The villain accepted the million dollar bill, but the villain has no place to store it. It is tantamount to a disaster. I want to entrust Master Hou to keep it for me. Please help Master Hou."

Zhang Jinyu took a deep look at one Shangda, it was not easy, she reached out to take it and put it in her arms.

"This matter has been agreed by the Marquis. As long as you use the money, you can spend it on the official account of the Marquis Mansion, just keep it in the account."

"Thank you, Lord Marquis."

The shopkeeper thanked him again, and Zhang Jinyu was unambiguous, and directly asked the guards to carry the old box, and under the escort of the guards, he left the shop, got on his horse and left.

After finally squeezing out, they rode on their horses and hurried away with Qin Ye, but the onlookers hadn't left yet, and they all looked at the shopkeeper enviously.

The shopkeeper, Shangda, was not in a hurry, he tidied up the shop with a calm face, and continued to do business.

"Neighbors and distinguished guests, villains are also helpless. Such treasures are not something that villains can own. They can only be used for children's future. Don't gather anymore. They are all open for business."

The people around them also calmed down after hearing this, and only then did they realize that the shopkeeper was right. If he had a dead body on the street, they all woke up with wry smiles, and then the crowd slowly dispersed.

But what happened here swept through the entire capital like a whirlwind. In the jewelry shop in the east of the capital, Luo Yunhou got the three treasures of the previous court on one day, purple jade on the first day, fire jade on the second day, and sea jade on the third day, worth 300 million taels of silver. It was also rumored that Luo Yunhou's poems were called Canghai by the people, and it was only then that the name of Luo Yunhou Zhang Jinyu was completely imprinted in the capital.
