Chapter 218 The Most Expensive Treasure
The treasures on the fifth floor are auctioned secretly, but there is a new rule.
If it is more than twice the marked price, you can buy it directly.
After hearing this, Helian Chaolu said without hesitation that he would take it for 20,000 yuan.
Pei Xueqi was dumbfounded.
How could his father's calligraphy be sold for twenty thousand taels! It's not even worth a few hundred taels.
Besides, he heard the Sixth Prince's muttering just now. How could his father give someone a favor just because someone bought a piece of his calligraphy?
Just as he was about to speak to stop him, a cold glance came over him.
Hmm...
The leg that had just been raised was silently retracted.
"No, the reputation of the Prime Minister's Mansion cannot be damaged!
It’s a business deal. One is willing to sell and the other is willing to buy. There’s nothing wrong with that.
No, it clearly implies that this calligraphy is used as a stepping stone.
She didn't say anything. Maybe my father heard someone was buying his calligraphy for a high price, so he was just happy for a while, but he won't do anything..."
My thoughts were torn and tugged at, and finally the calligraphy had been put away.
"Sister Princess, shall we go up and take a look?"
"OK."
It can be seen that Helian Chaolu is not interested in the other two treasures.
Qin Zhaoyue didn't force them at all and led everyone upstairs. As a result, the sixth floor was empty and there was nothing there.
"This is?"
Ignoring everyone's surprise, Qin Zhaoyue acted calmly and told the servant who followed him, "Make some tea and bring some snacks."
"yes."
After everyone left, Qin Zhaoyue walked forward calmly and pushed open the door of the pot.
The circular corridor projecting outward from the tower is supported by brackets or wooden structures, with railings on the outside and tea tables and stools on the corridor.
This was also her idea. High-level members should always have some privileges.
Originally, I was going to use this idea on the seventh floor, but I couldn't come up with anything better, so I'll just have to make do with this for now.
"Please take a seat. Don't worry. The fences here have been reinforced, and the tea table and stools have been nailed down. It's safe."
Helian Chaolu was stunned on the spot, his face turning pale at a speed visible to the naked eye.
From where she was now, she could roughly see the scenery outside. But if she walked outside...
Qin Zhaoyue took the initiative to step forward and personally took the hand of the sponsor's sister and walked out.
She felt the obvious struggle, but paid no attention to it.
In this way, Helian Chaolu was brought to the corridor, her calves trembling.
"Don't be afraid, it's safe."
He led her to the tea table, pressed her shoulders and asked her to sit down, while he sat in the middle.
Helian Chaolu pursed her lips into a thin line.
I have lived in the grassland all my life, and the highest point is on horseback. When have I ever experienced this kind of height?
He grabbed the stool legs tightly with both hands and stared blankly ahead.
Qin Zhaoyue turned around and asked, "Why, Master Pei also needs me to hold his hand?"
Pei Xueqiao instantly straightened his chest, clenched his fists, and strode forward.
But the steps became shorter and shorter, and the moment I stepped into the corridor, my heart began to tremble.
"I'm not afraid, I'm not afraid at all~~~"
He breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Qin Zhaoyue turn around and stop staring at him.
He stretched out his foot to reach the stool, then moved over with a flick of his finger, sitting upright with his upper body straight.
Qin Zhaoyue's lips curled up slightly, and he tilted his head back to enjoy the breeze on his face.
What's this height to her? She's a woman who's walked on a glass plank road and bungee jumped.
"The most valuable thing about this Treasure Pavilion is the scenery before us."
Qin Zhaoyue wasn't being too boastful. There were only a handful of seven-story towers in the entire Fengjing.
Sitting here, you can see several markets around, including prosperous places such as Dongshi, Langyinfang and Qiongguifang.
Moreover, the angle has been carefully chosen so that it does not face the imperial city directly, but some of it can still be seen by turning sideways.
With this kind of scenery, who can say it’s not expensive?
Soon, tea and snacks were served.
"You're welcome. It's my treat."
Qin Zhaoyue ignored the two people beside him and focused on eating snacks and sipping a cup of tea.
His face was calm and composed, but he was laughing so hard in his heart.
Who could have thought that Pei Xiang's calligraphy was sold for 20,000?
Just got it two days ago and it’s not even warm yet!
Adding everything up, Helian Chaolu's total consumption is almost 50,000 taels, and the net profit is at least 30,000 taels.
I made a lot of money!
It was almost noon when the group finally came downstairs.
When he stood firmly outside the Treasure Pavilion, Helian Chaolu couldn't help but stop and look up again.
My heart was trembling when I was thinking about it, but suddenly some thoughts came to my mind.
The feeling of standing on a high place and looking down at the world...
Okay, the job was done and the money was earned. Qin Zhaoyue didn't want to treat anyone to lunch, so he said goodbye immediately.
He glanced at Pei Xueqiao who was standing upright beside him.
Some people look very serious, but they are actually about to pee inside.
He got on the carriage and drove away, but left behind Sui Mo and Mo Yi.
As the saying goes, it’s better to put the money in your pocket and run, she shoulders an important mission.
Since there were no outsiders present, Qin Zhaoyue no longer acted reservedly, and the corners of his mouth were almost stretched to his ears.
Profit of more than 30,000 taels, well done!
After returning to the mansion, he ordered the kitchen to prepare extra meals for everyone.
Now that we have made money, let everyone in the family feel the joy.
While I was drinking some wine, Sui Mo and Mo Yi came back with five thousand taels of gold!
He slammed the table and said, "Okay, this girl can be dealt with."
I was so happy that I drank two more taels.
After taking off her hairpins and makeup, and changing into casual home clothes, she became boneless and crooked again.
Yinzhe appeared silently, with a strange expression under the veil.
This girl is making money again, and she's spending it big again.
How many days have you been back in Beijing?
If this continues, even bribery may not be effective.
"Your Highness, it's time to get down to business."
Hearing this, Qin Zhaoyue immediately became unhappy.
"So my trip today doesn't count as errands?"
Yinzhe rolled his eyes. Is that an errand? He must be going there to make money!
She did not refute and directly explained the next plan.
Qin Zhaoyue listened quietly and thought it was pretty much what she thought.
To put it bluntly, it is to make Helian Chaolu famous.
On the one hand, it can alleviate the negative impact of postponing the provincial examination and admitting additional candidates, and on the other hand, it can arouse the people's emotions of common hatred of the enemy.
Then, by creating momentum and public opinion, they would highlight the talented women who had signed up and force them to show their real talents and knowledge.
This is the case on the surface, but it is definitely not that simple inside.
There are many shameless people like this, not to mention that what is sacrificed is a woman's talent and reputation.
It must be supplemented by other means, such as coercion, inducement or exchange of interests.
Tsk, it’s not easy for that girl at such a young age, as she has to bear the fate of the entire tribe.
This wave is destined to leave no good reputation, but I don’t know what Your Majesty is planning.
Qin Zhaoyue just sighed. Everyone has their own destiny, and she couldn't take care of it because of her low status.
But considering that I earn a lot of money, I'd be happy to help out a little within my ability.
He raised his eyes to look at Yinzhe, "How does the court plan to make Helian Chaolu famous?"
Yinzhe said bluntly, "Poetry."
It’s true!
To know how much firepower your roaring can attract, you must start with your talent and learning.
Among the three major sections of the provincial examination, the interpretation of classics is not possible as it accounts for too small a proportion.
Policy essays are naturally the most important, but you can’t just ask people to set questions and answer them on the spot.
It is time-consuming and labor-intensive, and different people have different opinions on it, and it is difficult to spark public opinion.
After all, poetry is the fastest to become famous and the most widely spread.
Qin Zhaoyue jumped up from the couch, "Master Yinzhe, do you want to discuss a business?"
Yinzhe was stunned and immediately became extremely alert.
He leaned back and subconsciously took a defensive stance.
"What business?"
