Nightfall Chapter 233: Book seller’s words

Volume Two, Winter Lake, Chapter 233, Book Seller's Words

The Lao Bi Zhai stove room was full of fragrant dishes, Ning Que stood behind Sangsang, after all he couldn't hold back, and asked: "Is anyone suspicious that I let it out by myself?"

Sangsang didn't look back, and said: "I heard that I thought I secretly sold it. """

"I am really embarrassed to have your reputation as a thief."

Ning Que said with shame on his face.

Sangsang glanced at the fire of the green bean curd in the pot, closed the stove valve with his feet, and poured the bean curd into the bowl while saying: "Master, it's okay, as long as you can sell the price."

Ning Que took the growing bean curd bowl and said, "I hope so."

In recent days, there has been a secret message in the painting and calligraphy antique shop in Chang'an City that there are seven old Bi Zhai books ready to be sold. I heard that these seven books are from a little maid who is greedy for money and favored.

Of course this is not the case. Six of the seven posts were written by Ning Que one day and night, and he wanted to sell them. The reason why he wanted to go in such a big circle to get the Shuzhuer girl in, even He did not hesitate to let Sangsang bear his reputation as a wealthy seller, mainly for three reasons.

First of all, Ning Que didn't want anyone to know. Now he needs a lot of money, because he doesn't want others to know what the money is doing. The second reason is that as the world's first-rate or even super-class book writer, it is a shame to sell your own works no matter how you look at it.

The most important thing is the third point. If he wanted to sell his book posts publicly, the emperor in the palace would definitely borrow them with gentle words but with a face, or buy them at official prices.

His Majesty the emperor has never returned the books borrowed from Laobi Zhai. As for the official price...Where can Ning Que's current demand for silver be met? That's why he thought of such a way.

Sangsang cut some mustard pickles, used chopsticks to pull it on the green bean curd, and asked: "Do you want to pour sesame oil?"

Ning Que shook his head and said: "The corners of his mouth are all anxious, so I should eat lighter."

Sangsang grabbed a handful of sesame seeds with his fine fingertips, sprinkled them evenly into the bean curd, and asked: "Yesterday, I had another account with Qi Siye. The amount of money is still worse. Seven Will there be fewer posts?"

"Even if it is a precious thing, if it is released too much at one time, it will depreciate. Just like Chen Jinji's powder, if it is all over the street, then why is it so expensive."

Ning Que said: "I was still worried about throwing seven books on the market at once, and whether it would hit the market price. Now it seems that one stone has some ability."

Sangsang is holding a bowl of bean curd, his eyes lightly glowing, and said: "I don't know how much money will be sold in the end. The latest chapter of the church"

Ning Que said: "How can the first six posts be sold for eight thousand dollars? The most important thing is the last chicken soup post. I'm not sure how much it can sell."

Sangsang asked doubtfully: "That chicken soup post is really the original?"

Ning Fuxing nodded, looked at the pestle placed in the inconspicuous corner of the display rack, and said: "That chicken soup post has been wrapped in the pestle that the master asked you to pass to me."

Then he said with emotion: "Master is an old liar, I am very touched."

This sentence is both ridicule and embarrassment, more because of the conversation with General Xu Shi a few days ago. Xu Shi insisted that Master Yan Se was in a mess of light and justice. Now it proves the passing of the master. Ning Que was naturally relieved that he was a fool.

Sangsang said worriedly: "I'm worried that Wang and Lao Xueshi will be angry."

Ning Que sneered and said: "For four thousand taels of silver, I wanted to buy from the master's hand from the chicken soup post. A fool like a prince, who else can the master lie to him?"

Sangsang said: "But cheating is still cheating after all."

Ning Que thought for a while and asked: "Did you find out clearly?"

Sangsang said: "The Wang Lao Bachelor is from Qing Dynasty. Recently, in Chuan County, the clan has been planning to rebuild the clan shrine and the genealogy. The scholar's office has been leading this task and has been preparing for several days."

After eating green bean curd porridge, Ning Que rubbed his stomach and got into the carriage, and then came to the scholar's residence.

The residence in this scholar's residence is not Wenyuange scholar Zeng Jing, but the three-dynasty senior scholar Wang Shichen. The seniority and prestige of Wang Shichen's bachelor's degree is not comparable to that of Zeng's bachelor's. Compared with it, his temper is much greater than that of Zeng Jing.

In the quiet study room, Bachelor Wang looked at Ning Que in front of him, his murky old eyes spitting out angry flames, and he didn't care about the identity of the second-story student of this school. He sternly shouted: In the old man’s house, a stamp was printed on the chicken soup post in front of everyone. Why is there another chicken soup post now? I don’t care if your maid stole it, I just want to know why there is still a chicken soup post! "

Ning Que suddenly regretted it. After a long silence, he smiled bitterly and said, "I didn't know about this before I got the relic of the first master. I was drunk when I wrote a note in the red sleeve trick that night. That’s why I didn’t recognize it in the Bachelor’s Office that day as a copy of the master’s copy. I never thought that his elderly home would be so elegant."

"Yahao? What is Yahao?"

Wang Shichen's white hair was fluttering, and he was so angry that he could not be relieved. He waved his trembling hands and roared angrily: "I went to Nanmen to watch him that day. He was a chicken soup post from his sleeve. Where is Yahao? He was clearly prepared to deceive the old man in advance!"

Ning Que corrected with a smile: "Master Xian must have never thought that you would be the lord who was deceived. ("")"

Then he said sternly: "But that pair of chicken soup posts is a copy of a family teacher, and it is naturally also extremely precious, and his old man is now gone, so don't blame him."

Master Wang sneered, but did not answer.

Ning Que suddenly asked: "I heard that the clan shrine is being rebuilt among the royal family."

Wang University scholar looked slightly different and nodded.

"If you want to come to the prince's reputation, the plaque of the clan temple is naturally asked for your majesty to inscribe it. It is only the couplet inscription in the temple, and the general preface of the genealogy. Does it need someone to write it?"

Ning Que asked.

The Wang University scholar was stunned, and then he understood what Ning Que meant. He was overjoyed. Although the chicken soup post is precious, but for the big family of poetry heirs, the clan temple and the genealogical preface are linked to the family inheritance. It would be wonderful if Ning Que could write things that were passed on to later generations for education.

"Thank you, thank you, the old man is not welcome."

The Wang University scholar laughed loudly, and then he turned to ask: "Since Miss Sangsang took the book and sold it, do you want to take it back in the future?"

As a veteran of the Three Dynasties of the Tang Dynasty, it is natural to know that Zeng Jing re-recognized her daughter. Therefore, the bachelor has always been deeply puzzled by the anger of the old Bi Zhai Qi Tie, which is now raging. At this moment, he asked in front of Ning Que.

Ning Que smiled without answering.

The academician Wang understood what he meant, and said solemnly: "If that's the case, then I'm going to buy the chicken soup post. Wouldn't everyone mind?"

There are big people like Wang's academician entering the venue, and thinking that those seven calligraphic posts will surely sell for an excellent price, Ning Que now only has silver in his eyes, so he laughed suddenly.

……

……

Chu Youxian got out of the carriage and looked at the people walking towards Yi Shi Curie, his face changed slightly, and he trembled: "My father does have money, but there are more rich people in Chang'an. The previous ones were all emperor merchants in Nancheng, I said you didn’t expect me to fight with these people?"

Chu Youxian’s father is Dongcheng Qigui Master Chu, a well-known wealthy businessman in Chang'an City, and the best arty, so this time one stone house auctions the seven posts of Old Bi Zhai, and also sent an invitation to Master Chu. , This invitation is now naturally put in his sleeve by Chu Youxian.

Ning Que came to a stone house with Chu Youxian. He didn't have much interest in the auction of his own calligraphy, but in order to ensure that there were no problems at the scene and the money could be obtained smoothly, he decided to come and watch him personally.

Chu Youxian glanced at Ning Que next to him, with a sad expression on his face-after his father got the invitation, he began to inquire about today's affairs, and vaguely learned about the theft of Lao Bi Zhai-since it was sold today It was the stolen goods of Lao Bi Zhai, but Ning Que wanted to come and see it. He wanted to come to nothing more than a riot or he wanted to buy it back with money, but no matter what kind, it always sounded a little dangerous.

"I didn't come to make trouble."

Ning Que explained: "I'm afraid that someone will make trouble."

Chu Youxian didn't understand what he was saying, thinking about his father's ecstasy after he learned of his relationship with Ning Que, and no longer caring about what would happen later, he went to a stone curie.

After presenting the invitation, a pretty maid led the two into the hospital.

One stone lives on the banks of the quiet lake. The warm lake breeze in late spring passes through the willows by the lake, and then passes through the quiet hallway hall. When entering the courtyard, it has become a lot cooler.

The auction site is a three-story wooden building. The building is divided into three sides. Only the side facing the lake does not have any buildings. It is open to the wind. There is a platform in the middle of the building. There is nothing on the platform, only a large and elegant screen. The book signature is embroidered with gold thread, and it is not clear which famous artist is from a distance.

The quiet lake breeze hits from outside the building, flicking the screens, and slowly passing between the pavilions, the feeling of heat and dryness that has just risen suddenly disappears, in the breeze, this simple to the ultimate layout, glance In the past, even the most vulgar would give birth to a little elegance.

There are about 20 separate pavilions in the three-story building. There are gauze and bamboo partitions at the door of the pavilion. The lake breeze is blowing, and the light gauze is floating between the buildings, revealing the bamboo curtain at the back, and the feet can be vaguely seen. But I can't see what kind of person is sitting inside, which makes the people in the cabinet feel relaxed and comfortable, and it protects the **** very well.

Ning Que and Chu Youxian, led by the pretty maid, walked to a pavilion on the second floor and sat down, watching the clear screen of the platform in the middle of the building, thinking that there was nothing wrong with picking a stone by themselves.

From getting the seven posts of Laobi Zhai, to the promotion, and to the official auction today, the interval was too short to make the momentum into a foreign country such as the Southern Jin Dynasty, and those foreign giants did not have time to come and participate in the event. The owner of Yishiju couldn't help regretting it a bit. He thought that he should not be so cautious when he heard the news from Laobi Zhai.

However, the old Bi Zhai seven posts, especially the last chicken soup post, are indeed too attractive. Although the giant merchants of the Southern Jin Dynasty and other countries are too late to attend the meeting, the envoys of various countries who have lived in Chang'an for many years still have two or three imperial merchants. They are all here, and looking at their expressions, they are really very interested.

Countless murmurs sounded in the pavilion of One Stone Residence. No one doubts the credibility of One Stone Residence. Naturally, no one doubts the authenticity of the seven calligraphy posts. These buzzing comments are probably thinking. Later, whether to make a move and analyze the strength of competitors.

As a middle-aged man in a simple blue shirt walked up to the platform between the stairs, one stone Curie's discussion gradually subsided, and when the middle-aged man gently knocked on the golden song in his hand, it became more quiet.

"Is this the boss of Yishiju?"

Ning Que asked.

Chu Youxian shook his head, pointed at the man downstairs with a folding fan in his hand, and said, "This person's surname is Zhong Mingli. It is said that he is a certain member of Yangguan Zhong's surname. There are some problems with the family relationship. Entering the officialdom, so I left Yangguan angrily and got into this business. I have been working in the Song State auction house for many years. Many people think that he is the number one seller today. Today Yishiju has made such a big battle. , Naturally I want to invite him over."

Ning Que listened to Yangguan Zhong's surname, and naturally thought of Zhong Dajun, and couldn't help but laughed and said, "I hope this person will not be as boring as Zhong Dajun."

Chu Youxian smiled and said: "The surname Yang Guanzhong is not all waste."

……

……

Zhong Li stood on the stage and calmly looked around the three pavilions around him. Although it was a simple scan, the people in the pavilion felt that he was looking at himself. With this hand, he already showed his skills as a seller.

Immediately afterwards, the seller surprised everyone. He did not introduce the history of Yishiju like the usual auction, nor did he greet the big figures in the building. Instead, he started to speak, his voice calm and expressionless. Neither humble nor overbearing, even faintly proud.

"Today's Spring 84 is when the Golden Jade Flower Dew is on the market."

"Everyone in the world says that gold, vulgar, jade is clean, but today jade is also a vulgar thing, because today I invite you to appreciate the most elegant thing in the world, the beauty of ink and fragrance for thousands of times."

Zhong Li smiled and said: "Maybe you will be a little disappointed. Today’s grand event, there will be no pre-arrangement, and there will not be any other famous book posts. Just like the gold before the jade is a vulgar thing, the Lao Bi Zhai which will appear later Before the seven posts, what other posts in the world were not vulgar?"

Listening to these words, the dignitaries and giant merchants in the one-stone pavilion made a sound of shock. It was because these words made the old Bi Zhai Qi Tie too high, but when you think about it carefully, the people in the pavilion have to admit Although this is an act of self-esteem, it is beyond reproach, because nowadays, not to mention the masters of calligraphy in the world. .

Listening to the comments in the building, Chu Youxian's eyes are getting brighter, and his expression is getting more and more proud. He shook his folding fan and glanced at Ning Que next to him from time to time. If I let you know, Lao Bi Zhai’s The master sat beside me, wouldn't he die jealously?
