Plane of Immortal Cultivation

Chapter 114 Always exchange new peaches for old talismans

This Cheng Dujian is the Hangzhou Dujian.

"Cheng Dujian is such a great handicraft. What is he going to do with the glazed jade Ruyi and Ye Mingzhu? Do he keep them for himself?" Qin Guan asked curiously.

"Although Cheng Dujian didn't say it clearly, he said something after seeing the two treasures. He said that he was very happy that there was something he could show on Xianggong's birthday."

"I've inquired about it. It will be Mr. Zeng Yu's birthday in a few days, and Cheng Dujian is under Mr. Zeng's sect. I think it was given to Mr. Zeng as a birthday present." Zhou Taixiang said in a low voice.

The Qin family relied on Shen Xianggong, and Shen Xianggong and Zeng Xianggong were political enemies in the court, but the gift to Zeng Xianggong was also from Qin Guan.

Haha, interesting.

But it doesn't matter who buys it, anyway, we just want to make money.Without these corrupt officials, these expensive treasures are really hard to sell.

Don't think about it, Qin Guan stood up and said: "You hand over the money to Erbao, now take me to see those jades."

Compared with the tens of thousands of coins, Qin Guan cares more about these jewels and jades, which are what he made his fortune in modern times.

When he came outside the door, Qin Guan saw a large cart with several boxes on it, Qin Guan asked in surprise, "Are these all?"

"My lord, there are two boxes of emeralds, one box of Hetian jade, and the most Tian Huangshi, with six boxes."

The servants were called to move all these boxes into the study room, the floor of the study room was full of boxes, Qin Guan opened a box at will, and his eyes were dazzled by the contents inside.

The entire box is full of emeralds. Although these emeralds are all rough stones, the outer skin has been worn off, revealing the green and smooth emeralds inside.He picked up a piece of emerald that was the size of a book, it was a bit heavy, and the whole body was green and translucent. Qin Guan estimated that this piece of rough stone would not be less than 4000 to [-] million.

There are two full boxes here.

He opened another box, which was a box of Tianhuang stones. Qin Guan picked up a piece of Tianhuang that was as smooth as chicken fat, and it was estimated that any piece of Tianhuang could be sold for tens of millions.

This time it was really rich.

It's a pity that I can't take it back this time.

Qin Guan brought Zhou Taixiang two more treasures, a glazed heavenly horse, and a string of pearl necklaces the size of a finger belly.

Zhou Taixiang was shocked again.

"My lord, if you take out any of the treasures here, they are all treasures that Taixiang has never seen before. Even in our Great Zhao Kingdom, such treasures are rare."

After Zhou Taixiang left, Qin Guan moved all the boxes containing emeralds into the secret room, put them away first, and bring these treasures back to modern time and space when there is a chance later.

Now Qin Guan is reading books and practicing swords every day. Many people come to invite him to participate in the poetry meeting, but Qin Guan basically refuses. He really seems to be studying hard.

As for the temporary task, it has not been completed yet, it seems that it is really difficult to become famous in the world.It's definitely not that Qin Guan's poems are not good. The main reason is that the communication in ancient times was not smooth, and it took a certain amount of time to spread them.

Entering the twelfth lunar month, the taste of the new year in Dazhao Kingdom is getting stronger and stronger. Every family starts to use pork, mutton, and fish to marinate cured meat. The cured meat can not only be used as New Year’s goods, but also can be stored until the next summer.

And those literati and poets became more active, inviting friends, having feasts and banquets, meeting relatives and friends, drinking lightly and singing softly.

Merchants are ushering in the peak sales season, and the market sells Buddha flowers, chives, lettuce, orchid sprouts, bohol, walnuts, Zezhou 饧 and other New Year's products; The market is very popular, such as tiger head, golden wisp of flowers, and spring banner wins; peddlers sell tinted spring banner wins, Pepsi auspicious dendrobium and other mascots along the street, in order to prepare for New Year's Day and hang them on the door, which is a good omen for the new year. There are city firecrackers, fireworks and so on.

On the twenty-fourth day of the twelfth lunar month, every family sacrifices to the stove.

For the reunion dinner on New Year’s Eve, it’s a pity that Qin Zhangyuan couldn’t come back in the capital. Although the Dazhao Kingdom also has annual leave, a total of seven days, but this time is gone, and the journey in the winter is also suffering. Qin Zhang has not returned home for three years. up.

The first day of the first lunar month, the beginning of the new year, is called "New Year's Day" and "Yuan Day" by Zhao people, and it is commonly called "New Year".As for the Spring Festival, it was changed later.

On New Year's Day of the lunar calendar, the imperial court will hold a grand court meeting.

Early in the morning, the emperor got up and went to court, and first offered incense devoutly, praying for the common people to have a hundred grains in the sky.Afterwards, the emperor paid New Year's greetings to the Queen Mother: "Yuanzheng Qizuo, all things are new. Fu Wei, Your Majesty the Empress Dowager, I will be honored by the time and rest with the sky."

The queen mother returned to the emperor: "The blessing of taking office is the same as that of the emperor."

Afterwards, all civil and military officials paid New Year's greetings to the emperor: "Yuanzhengling Festival is not worth celebrating, and I would like to celebrate my ten million years of life."

Although the Great Zhao Kingdom, Liao Kingdom, and Xixia have been fighting for years, they have established diplomatic relations. Every New Year's Day, the several countries send "He Zhengdan envoys" to each other to congratulate each other.Koryo, Jiaozhi, Huihe, Khotan, Chenla, Dali, Sanfoqi and other vassal states also sent envoys to the capital at this time to congratulate Da Zhao on New Year's Day.

The folks are even more lively. The state of Dazhao stipulates that gambling is banned on the first, second, third, third and third days of the Lunar New Year, and citizens can gamble as much as they want.Gambling scenes can be seen everywhere on the street in these three days, there are gambling games and lottery draws, and the tricks are not less than modern times.

At night, the ladies of your family also go shopping together, enter the casino to watch people gamble, and go to the nightclub to have a banquet.

The time soon came to the Shangyuan Festival.

Shangyuan Festival is the Lantern Festival on the 15th day of the first lunar month. On this day, the city of Hangzhou is very lively, and countless people will go to the lake to light up lanterns to pray for blessings.The streets and alleys are decorated with lanterns, there will be many lanterns and lantern riddles guessing activities, and the state capital will also organize fireworks.

Tonight is also a good time for friendly men and women to date.

Two days ago, Qin Guan received an invitation from the Hangzhou government office, inviting him to participate in the Shangyuan Festival poetry meeting, but Qin Guan thought about it, and finally just gave Qin Wei a poem to spend the festival with a group of men What's the point, he is going to take his family to visit the Lantern Market.

I didn't pay attention at first, but I counted the number of people, and he was also taken aback. The younger sister Yupei, Yiren, Bracelet, Ruxiang, Erbao, Shuxiang Moyun, Xiong Daxiong Er, Yupei is going to pull the young girl , Naturally, Rong Niang, this group of people is indispensable.

Walking into the long street, you can see bright lights everywhere, businesses are open, many big businesses will hang up colorful lights, and hold lantern riddles to win prizes to add to the fun. By the West Lake, along the long street along the lake shore, countless The colorful shed sells crown combs, jewels, head masks, clothing, flowers, collar wipes, boots and shoes, as well as various snacks and fun small commodities.

There are also countless jugglers who opened the venue to perform, which attracted bursts of applause.

Looking at the lake, a lot of lotus lanterns have been lit, floating on the lake with slight waves, as if the whole West Lake is lit up.
