Chapter 99 I bought it (4200)(1/2)
"Look at it, our hairpin is not a vulgar thing. If the Northern Envoy hadn't arrived today, I wouldn't be willing to take it out no matter what."
In a blink of an eye, three or four businessmen had already handed over their items, and the one who was chosen naturally looked happy.
As for those who were not selected, they must be angry. After all, it would be a pity for everyone to have such a good business go down the drain.
What's more, they were not willing to accept the reality at all, and kept talking about the benefits of their belongings to the Jin man. Some of them got a little carried away, and actually hugged the Jin man's thigh and started begging bitterly.< /p>
Like this, most of them have a "gamble" mentality, either thinking that the northern barbarians are ignorant, or they are overestimating their own treasures...
How is this kind of business different from money falling from the sky?
But everyone knows about a profitable business, so everyone is destined to want to make money.
Some people gambled their entire lives on this item, some pawned it as their own and bought it from others, and some people bought it on credit at a high price.
If the things belonging to these people are chosen by the golden people, everything will be fine.
But if you don’t get caught...
I don’t know how many people are going to have their families broken up and their families dead.
The police drove away these collapsed gamblers, and now the confident old man holding a box was none other than Wu Yuanwai, the richest man in Mingzhou.
He prepared a total of eleven treasures this time, four of which were not chosen, and six of which were all collected by the Jin people.
This was already a big profit, but what he finally came up with was what he had bet on.
Jin Guoren took the box, only glanced at it, and then his eyes widened.
Liu Bang raised his feet and wanted to see what kind of hairpin it was that could make a man who had seen countless treasures make such an expression.
The man was cooperative, so he took the box and took two steps forward, facing the sun...
In this way, everyone can see it clearly.
The sun made the thing shine brightly, and judging from the color, it was probably made of gold.
Of course, a gold hairpin is not something that will make everyone eye-catching. The main thing is the exquisite workmanship of the thing... There were many experts at the scene, and they were amazed when they saw this thing.
A palm-long, half-finger-wide gold vessel, with two layers at the front. The upper layer is engraved with arabesque patterns, and the arabesque patterns are engraved with dot patterns, which are then superimposed on the bottom layer, and the end of the bottom layer is another cloud pattern.
And the middle section has been hollowed out, and three dots of green light up from the hollowed out place. If you look carefully, you can see three round jade beads.
When Wu Yuanwai saw everyone's expressions, he felt proud and introduced again:
"This thing is expensive, but the most expensive thing is its workmanship!"
As he spoke, he said to the Jinguo man: "You can take it out and look at the back."
After hearing this, the golden man's hand trembled slightly... It would be a huge pity if such a treasure was accidentally damaged.
After taking out the hairpin, Wu Yuanwai hurriedly pointed at the hairpin and said:
"Look!"
There was an exclamation of surprise at the scene, and now even Liu Bang was a little uneasy.
Damn it, the back of that hairpin is densely engraved with words!
"I remember the first time we met on the painting screen, and the sweet dream came back... I was so embarrassed that I couldn't say a word in front of others."
Wu Yuanwai shook his head and recited, and he was reciting exactly what was engraved on the hairpin.
It's Su Dongpo's poem, "Butterfly Loves Flowers".
This thing is extremely beautiful, with beautiful workmanship, beautiful materials, beautiful artistic conception, and beautiful colors. Even the words engraved on it are also beautiful.
Feeling that the person next to him was breathing heavier, Liu Bang turned his head and looked... Chen Miaochang's soul had been sucked in by that thing.
Yes, I was quite moved when I saw it, not to mention that this is something specially made for women.
The golden man carefully put the hairpin back into the box again, but this time he did not put it away directly, but gave instructions to others.
After a while, five or six Jin people came out of Duting Posthouse.
The dwarf at the head talked a lot with the treasure appraiser, Jili Gulu, until he saw the hairpin, his eyes immediately straightened.
"Reward!"
Wu Yuanwai was overjoyed when he heard this. As long as the Jin people accept this thing today, I am afraid Dutingyi will have to go to the Ministry of Rites to ask for money tomorrow.
Why?
Because this thing doesn’t mean that it will cost you tens of thousands of taels of silver, but the money that can be left behind probably won’t be able to withstand the gold man’s consumption for a few days.
The old man even bowed and thanked several gods of wealth, which made Liu Bang very angry.
He asked Chen Miaochang in a low voice:
"This thing... do you want it?"
Before the little beauty could answer, Lu Zai was the first to react.
He quickly interjected: "This thing matches Madam Chen, and it really deserves its price... But having said that, who in the world is more suitable for this hairpin than Madam Chen?"
The old man's compliments made Chen Miaochang feel a little embarrassed:
"This thing is very valuable. I naturally know the official's good intentions."
"But I have also heard that the ancient holy emperors and kings all regarded frugality as a virtue and extravagance as a great evil... Extravagance is born from ease, and ease is born from Henan. It grows day by day, which may lead to the failure of Gu."
"Guan family, seeing this hairpin today is already a blessing to me. I don't dare to ask for it."
What a good wife!
At another time and place, Liu Bang might be able to listen to her words.
But now... these people are spending their own money!
He had to humiliate himself to make others feel comfortable. This kind of work would not be possible for him even if he was reincarnated ten times.
So Liu Bang patiently asked again:
"You can just say whether you want it or not. I will take care of other things myself."
I think about it, of course I think about it, is there any woman in the world who doesn’t want to see her?
Looking into his man's determined eyes, Chen Miaochang felt extremely at ease and nodded gently.
"That'll do it!"
Lu Zai smiled like a chrysanthemum on the side. He was afraid that Mrs. Chen would reject the emperor.
Frugality is a good thing, but sometimes it’s better to be extravagant.
For example, now.
Wu Yuanwai saw that the other side was about to collect something, and was about to go to the side to collect his note when he heard a somewhat familiar voice:
"Hey! I bought that hairpin, please pass the box over quickly!"
He looked back to see who was making such arrogant remarks... After all, his eyes were dim, and after looking for a while, he saw Liu Bang below who was being stared at by a group of policemen.
"Officer..."
"Shut up!"
Liu Bang glared at him, and the old man felt his bones go weak and almost collapsed to the ground.
The events of that night are still vivid in my mind. When Wu Yuan was sleeping outside, the person he saw most often was the Zhao family.
Now that I saw him with my own eyes, the old man's heart almost jumped out of his chest.
"Didn't you hear what I said? I bought that hairpin!"
He roared again, very loudly, with a lot of emotion in his voice.
Wu Yuanwai didn't dare to neglect, so he quickly snatched the box from the golden man's hand, held it in both hands, and handed it to the emperor.
Whether they are people from the Song Dynasty or the Jin Dynasty, whether they are traders or officials,
No one thought that this would happen.
Not to mention that this deal is specially prepared for Jin people. Even if you are not Jin people, you have already sold it, how can you resell it to others?
Your Mingzhou Wu family is not just a businessman, but you are destroying your own brand like this in front of so many colleagues...
Is this Member Wu so old that he has lost his mind?
Naturally, everyone is more interested in another person who dares to buy than him who dares to sell.
It’s not like there were no examples of things prepared for the Jin people being temporarily bought by other rich families, but those were all done privately.
It's indeed the first time I've seen someone come out to cut off the beard after someone has taken advantage of it like today.
There are many discerning people here, and they recognized this person's identity at a glance.
He introduced in a low voice to others:
"This is the person who opened up Qin Liu's belly in the street, Xin Ciying!"
"Is that the one who killed the housekeeper of the Qin Mansion and nothing happened?"
"Who said everything is okay? Wasn't he promoted by the official family? Now he is the head of Lin'an Mansion!"
To be continued...
