The status of Japanese women in the family was often very low, and this remained the case even a thousand years later.

Although Kujo Anika is the eldest daughter of Kujo Shinichi, before that, she was still a dispensable existence.

If her mother hadn't been favored by Kujo Shinichi, she might not have had the opportunity to study Chinese studies.

However, after thirty years of Hedong and thirty years of Hexi, today's Jiutiao Xingxiang is a presence that no one dares to mess with in the house.

"Xingxiang, can you get me an invitation to the Shangguo Treasures Exhibition tomorrow?"

In the backyard of Kujo's house, Kujo Anxiang and a group of noble girls gathered together for a rare occasion.

"Do you want an invitation? Do you need an invitation for the National Treasures Exhibition?"

Kujo Xingxiang has been following Li Kuan most of the time these days, and even stays in Li Kuan's room at night.

So she actually didn't know much about what happened in the house.

"Yes, every family in Nara's aristocracy wants to come. But many families only received one invitation, so they can only bring one companion. We all want to participate."

"Then...then I don't have an invitation. My father never lets me get involved in family matters."

Kujo Anxiang has not yet realized that her status in the family has changed from what it used to be.

"As long as you mention it to the butler, he will give us an invitation."

'Yes, yes, Xingxiang, if you just mention it, we can get the invitation when we leave.'

Xingxiang: "Really?"

"Of course it's true, we have confirmed it."

…

If there are any major events in Nara Castle recently, the arrival of His Royal Highness the King of Chu of the Tang Dynasty must be one; and then the Warriors of the Tang Dynasty who have won three battles and brutally tortured the Soga family in Asuka Palace is another one. I guess no one dares to discuss this in public;

The last one is today’s Shangguo Treasures Exhibition.

"Inugami-kun, you are here!"

"Fujiwara-kun, welcome!"

Kujo Prefecture was a lively scene today, and almost everyone with some status in Nara City was here.

"Your Majesty, the goods we brought to Nara are not many, but the Japanese people are so enthusiastic. When I just saw several families coming over, their entourages were holding boxes or followed by carriages. It is said that they all came with a lot of gold and silver.

."

Wang Xuance was both happy and a little regretful that he didn't bring enough.

"It's okay. Now arrange for someone to go to Namba Tsu to pick it up. It will arrive tomorrow."

Li Kuan stood on top of the only three-story building in Kujo Mansion, looking at the lively scene below.

"But isn't the Shangguo Treasures Exhibition only held for one day? Do we need to notify Kujo Shinichi to extend it?"

"No, every item below is available. They just need to look at it. It doesn't make any difference whether they buy it today or tomorrow. There are only a few goods on display. Maybe it can stimulate them to buy quickly."

There were only three ships in total this time, and some of them were filled with books and people. There were not many porcelain and other items brought, so Li Kuan was not worried at all that he would not be able to sell them.

Even Nambazu's situation of exchanging one porcelain for an equal weight of silver would only be more exaggerated in Nara.

…

Kujo Shinichi felt that today was the most glorious moment in his life.

In Nara City, no matter whether they were nobles with higher or lower status than me, they all greeted me with a smile; once I was free, someone would take the initiative to come over and chat with me.

"Everyone, please be quiet."

When most of the visitors to the mansion had viewed the items on display, Kujo Shinichi stood on a makeshift platform and began to speak.

"Everyone has seen the treasures of Shangguo just now, and many people have asked me one after another, how to sell them? Can I buy them back today?"

Hearing Kujo talking, the crowd in the audience calmed down in a dignified manner.

"I have asked His Majesty the King of Chu for instructions. These treasures can be sold to everyone."

As soon as these words came out, the scene immediately became lively.

"How to sell it? I like that vase. Can I exchange ten pounds of silver for that vase?"

"I like the mirror I just hung up. Can I exchange it for a pound of gold?"

"Are the lit candles also for sale?"

…

Various voices came from the crowd.

Cheng Chumo, who was mixed in the crowd, felt a little dizzy and thought his ears were broken.

Since when did buying things with gold and silver depend on the pound?

Isn’t the Japanese country very poor?

Did you miss something?

"Don't worry, everyone. Considering that the quantity of goods this time is limited and everyone's demand is relatively large, for the sake of fairness, all goods today will be sold by auction..."

Kujo couldn't help but admire Li Kuan for actually thinking of the auction idea.

"The first thing to be auctioned is porcelain. The starting price is one pound of silver. The one with the highest price will win."

It was the first time Kujo held an auction, and there was no guarantee deposit, and no number plate was required.

All the people who can get in here are famous people. Even if there are some Kujo who can't name them, his housekeeper will definitely know them.

As for taking pictures or not?

Haha, Kujo really wants to see which company has such courage?

Just use it to scare the monkeys.

"Two jins, I bid two jins of silver!"

"Three catties, I will pay three catties!"

…

Fang Yiai kept swallowing her saliva behind the crowd. Ever since she was a child, the financial power of Fang Mansion has been in the hands of Mrs. Fang. Although Fang Yiai was very favored by her, she would not give her more than a penny per month.

This was the first time he had seen such a scene of buying things based on gold and silver.

"Yi Ai, didn't you say you wanted to stay in Nambajin before? Why don't you go back to Datang and I'll keep you there."

Yuchi Huan's performance was no better than Fang Yixi's.

"I used to think that whaling was easy to make money, but now I realize... whaling is nothing."

Cheng Chumo couldn't help but curse.

Yuchihuan: "A Japanese country only has so much gold and silver. I heard His Royal Highness the King of Chu say that there are many countries overseas. If we can exchange items with all countries, then we... shouldn't we give it away?"

Fang Yiai: "The Japanese country has gold and silver, and I heard that Nanyang produces spices. Brother Cheng, I have decided that I will drift on the sea from now on. Will I earn enough money from this trip to sea for a lifetime?"

Cheng Chumo: "Now I suddenly understand why my grandfather often beat me. When he asked me to come to Dengzhou Mansion to defect to the King of Chu, I didn't understand it. Now it seems that I will have meat to eat by following the King of Chu."

"Hehe, not only do you have meat to eat, don't you feel that your feet are a little weak these days?" Yu Chihuan showed a naughty smile, and Fang Yi laughed tacitly.

"You should take it easy. These things that happened in Japan must not be mentioned when you return to Chang'an."

Cheng Chumo thought that he was a man with a family, and suddenly felt a little panicked.

It's easy to explain why I went to sea privately, after all, I must have gained a lot.

But if news of the chaos in Japan spreads back...

Yu Chihuan: "Haha, Brother Cheng, you won't be a strict henkeeper like the prime minister in the future, right?"

Fang Yiai:......
