Chapter 886 889. Treasure
"I think when you entered the palace today, you saw that the row of glass houses at the entrance of the palace had been completed." Hua Zhang was in a very happy mood today. He didn't even sit on the dragon throne, but stood on the high hall and paced back and forth.
"Now, please follow me, my dear ministers. Today, the place where we hold court has been changed."
Everyone had heard about it a long time ago, but they all felt that Lord Gu's plan was a bit risky. With so many treasures placed outside the palace walls, if any were lost, the crime would be serious.
This did not prevent them from wanting to watch the fun, and they followed the emperor according to their official positions.
As soon as I walked out of the Noon Gate and turned right, I saw soldiers guarding the place, and a large row of tables in the front blocked everyone's way.
"What does this mean?" Liao Weidong asked first. "Your Majesty is here, why don't you quickly remove this thing?"
Hua Zhang raised his hand to stop him, and took out a gold ingot from his sleeve, "Today I would like to invite all the adults to appreciate it together and see if this silver is enough."
The ministers following him said, "..."
What's going on?
The official in charge of collecting the money picked up the gold ingot and carefully checked its authenticity before handing it to the accountant next to him.
He picked up the brush and registered the money, then handed the silver to the soldier beside him, "Does Your Majesty need change?"
Hua Zhang smiled and waved his hand, "The extra money will be used as charity, and it will be another item!"
I saw the other party recounting a line in another notebook, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness and donation..."
All the ministers: "..."
Gu Wenheng pointed at the notice on the city wall and said, "My Lords, please look!"
Imperial Palace Treasures Exhibition
A few large characters jumped out before everyone's eyes, with a long introduction next to them.
All of the exhibits are royal private collections, which the royal family plans to share with everyone this month.
In order to maintain order, anyone who wants to go in and appreciate the scenery must pay a certain viewing fee.
If you find something suitable, you can ask the guard here for explanation and buy it at a price higher than the marked price.
Wait, there is also a series of viewing requirements, which opened the eyes of all the court officials.
But if that's the case, who would be willing to spend money to come here and watch?
Even if you want to go in just to look and not buy anything, you have to pay at least one or two taels of silver. We are not stupid. We can do anything with this tael of silver. Why do we have to come here to look at these things that will not fill us up?
Hua Zhang smiled and said, "Don't forget, the treasures here are rotated every ten days. If someone bids for them, they will be replaced as soon as possible. If you want to buy the treasure you like, you really have to make frequent trips."
"Swindler..." Everyone felt that these two words were shining above the heads of His Majesty and Gu Wenheng.
They wanted to purchase some treasures from the palace, but they just wanted to get a bargain and didn't think of buying them in this way.
If you don't see anything you like this time you go in, you'll have to spend money and go in again to look around.
The most outrageous thing is that every time a treasure is sold, it will be replaced immediately. If you don’t want to miss it, you can only keep staring at it. It is simply an infinite cycle.
Gu Wenheng felt the gazes of the crowd, looked back and nodded at them.
Mr. Liu usually likes strange stones, so it seems he will have to appear later.
That Lord Li likes mutton-fat white jade, so he will raise the price of mutton-fat white jade a little bit later...
As they walked in, they discovered that there was a huge space inside. The aisle in the middle was four meters wide, with a long row of glass cabinets on each side. Various treasures were neatly placed inside, with detailed introductions next to them.
Especially since there is a guard with a sword every two meters in a row, it is impossible to fish in troubled waters.
Hua Zhang took the lead and walked forward, his eyes full of amazement.
The treasures that were originally thrown away in the warehouse by my father, after being picked up, have a layer of mystery.
Looking at the small characters on the side, the introduction of the treasure is extremely detailed, and it is even marked at the back as one of the treasures treasured by the retired emperor.
Hua Zhang, "..." When did father play with these before? If I remember correctly, these should have been cleaned out from the warehouse, right?
This was stuffed into the warehouse as soon as it was obtained. How could it be cherished?
Looking back at Gu Wenheng who was following behind him, he saw him grinning at him and waving his hand to signal him to go back.
"If you have any favorites, please act quickly. Today we are targeting court officials, and tomorrow we will target everyone in the world. Watch and cherish them."
Gu Wenheng did not forget to ask his colleagues behind him to raise their hands and clasp their fists, "The rules are already set. If you don't understand, you can ask the soldiers next to you."
"Master Gu is using such a gimmick. I don't think these things can be sold at all." Liao Weidong said with a pout, "It's fine if you raise the price falsely, but who can stand it when you walk in the door and have to pay one or two taels of silver?"
"I also think this plan is a little unreliable," the official standing next to him immediately echoed, "Just wait and see, if no one comes to pay to watch, he will be the only one to be embarrassed."
"Let's just ignore it for now and wait and see what happens." Previously in the court, the emperor adopted Lord Gu's plan, which in their opinion was too risky.
However, both the retired emperor and the emperor were willing to do this, and they were in the mood to watch the show, so they did not raise any objections.
Now it seems that it is just a gimmick. It cannot be sold at all. They can get a bargain in a few days.
But you can take a look today. If you find one that you like, keep it in mind and then ask your master to buy it at a low price.
Everyone had their own thoughts, so they all looked at it very carefully.
Seeing that everyone was just looking but not buying, Gu Wenheng smiled and didn't take it seriously.
When they reached the end, he asked, "Don't you have anything you like?"
Everyone shook their heads and said they were ready to think about it again.
Gu Wenheng nodded, and the recorder beside him took the pen and paper and quickly wrote down dozens of items, "I want all of these. I will ask the butler to come over and settle the bill in a moment."
These people are blind. The first batch of treasures on display are all genuine goods, so don't blame him for taking the initiative.
Yu Ligao glanced at him and also took out a pen and paper to write down a few items.
Seeing how sensible they were, Hua Zhang nodded and said with a smile, "I would like to thank you two adults for your generosity on behalf of my father."
"We dare not," Gu Wenheng and the others quickly replied, "This is also what I want to say. Thank you all for giving in."
All the ministers: "..."
Seeing that everyone else was still watching, Hua Zhang smiled and said, "Go back to the palace."
Yu Ligao walked to the back and asked Gu Wenheng with some concern, "Master Gu, this errand is not easy to handle. Why don't we ask the major merchants in Shangjing..."
As long as those merchants are willing to spend money, and each person buys one or two items, at least the situation will not be embarrassing.
Gu Wenheng smiled and said, "Master Yu, please rest assured. I will send more people here tomorrow. I am afraid that it will delay your entry into the palace."
Seeing that he was so confident, Yu Ligao said no more. He turned around and thought about where to put the treasures he had picked today when he got back.
I have published a new book, "The Daily Life of a Troublesome Sister-in-law", please click to collect it, thank you!!
As a Heavenly Master, Hua Xiangyun, after years of hard work, was finally able to form a contract with the sect's most precious treasure, the Nine Lotus Cauldron, left behind by his master.
I never expected that something would go wrong, and when I opened my eyes again I had become a trouble-making sister-in-law in a period novel.
The original owner's sister-in-law relied on her family's pampering since childhood to act recklessly. She bullied her sister-in-law after she married into the family, and the neighbors all avoided her. As the villain in the book, she acted like a villain from the beginning to the end, and finally succeeded in getting herself into jail.
Hua Xiangyun, "..."
Being an elite is so tiring. Her experience in her previous life taught her that hard work may not be useful, but not working hard will bring happiness.
So she moved her small chair and went out to the yard to bask in the sun, eating melon seeds and watching the fun.
When I had no money, I would set up a stall on the street to sell talismans. When I had sold enough, I would go home and continue eating melons. I lived a happy life.
But wait, why does the person eating melon across from me look a little familiar?
