Fang Shu paused, and stood aside, letting them pass first, because there were so many people that they couldn't be provoked.
The emperor was not polite, first took the veiled cap from someone else, held it in his hand without wearing it, and nodded slightly when passing by Fang Shu, as if to express his gratitude for making way for her? Then put on the veil.
This Fang Shu knew that some men, in order to show politeness, would take off their hats, reveal their faces, and then look directly into each other's eyes, which was no different from what the emperor did.
It seems that the emperor was well educated.
As soon as he took the lead, the people behind nodded to her one after another. Fang Shu saw that Li Zhai was also in the emperor's team and touched her lightly when passing by her. The road is too narrow, there is no way, she knew she would not let her go. , she went first.
They were a group of men, tall and tall, with long legs and fast strides. They quickly walked out of the inn, squeezed into the crowd and disappeared.
Staying far away, Yin Fei made sure that the man would not catch up, and then said, "Have you got rid of your quick hands?"
Li Zhai laughed, "You found out."
He didn't quibble, he took out a handkerchief from his arms, unfolded it and looked at it, "Just curious, this person is very strange."
"What's so strange?" Yin Fei asked.
"His eyes only stayed on you for a moment, then moved away, and then moved back to you after looking at us." Li Zhai reminded him, "Do you still remember the first time I saw you? "
He stared at him for several moments, "Most people's eyes will always be on you, and only those with super concentration will look away."
The advantage is that it is pleasing to the eye, but the disadvantage is that whoever is with him becomes the foil.
Yin Fei frowned.
Li Zhai sighed, "Forget it, you still don't understand."
Yin Fei paused, "Go back."
?
Li Zhai didn't react.
"Return the handkerchief." Yin Fei said it again.
Li Zhai chuckled, "Don't worry, we'll meet again. I touched his bag just now. Guess what? It's full of bank notes, a thick stack."
He raised his head and looked at the moonlight, "At this point, I still carry so much money around, it seems that I plan to spend it, why do I need to spend so much money, only the auction house, we have the same purpose, we will meet again, when the time comes It's not too late."
He moved his eyes down and saw the embroidery on the lower right corner of the handkerchief. He was surprised, "Tsk tsk, it is also a skill to embroider a peacock like a chicken."
She couldn't help sighing, "I am a man who embroiders better than her."
He took the handkerchief and stuffed it into his arms, "Speaking of which, why would a skinny, short, hunchbacked and wretched uncle with a strange beard wear a girl's handkerchief?"
Yin Fei glanced at him, "Let's accumulate some morals."
Fang Shu, a thin, short, hunchbacked and wretched uncle with a strange beard, was afraid of being recognized, so he made a disguise.
I bought it from the waiter at the shop, and gave me a lot of money. I feel so distressed. Fortunately, the consumption is public funds, and the empress will reimburse me.
Because this body is only in her teens, young and thin, she looks like a girl, so she wears a beard to look more masculine.
The hunchback is because no matter how small the chest is, there is still a little bit, and I am worried that others will see it, so I hunched my waist, and the pressure on the chest will be less. I did not expect to be regarded as a thin, short, hunchbacked and wretched uncle with a strange beard.
Fang Shu didn't know the way, so she wanted to follow them and ran over, so when she heard the conversation, she felt complicated.
Fortunately, there were quite a lot of people around, and they didn't seem to notice her. They soon arrived at the shop with the Tianbaozhai signboard, gave a sign, and Xiao Er would take them upstairs.
Speaking of this brand, Fang Shu also has it, and it belongs to Yu. At first, she thought that she was going to exchange it for money, but it turned out that this was the 'key' to getting started.
Fang Shu quickly took out her own and gave it to another waiter, who took her upstairs without asking.
It seemed to be on the highest floor. Anyway, Fang Shu climbed five floors to get there. Once inside, someone asked her if she wanted the private room or the main hall. Needless to say, Fang Shu definitely wanted the private room, and she couldn't reveal her identity.
Fortunately, the empress has enough face, and finally gave it to the private room. She just saw that another person also wanted the private room, but the sign was gold, so she was not qualified and was rejected.
Only a few people had jade plaques, which were only used to confirm their identities and were returned to them afterwards.
Fang Shu followed the attendants to the private room, while putting away the jade plaque, the emperor and others had disappeared, so she went in one step earlier, Fang Shu was a little worried that she had gone wrong
Not seeing acquaintances was a little uneasy. Fortunately, the auction house was considerate. There were rankings and introductions of the auctioned products on the tables of each private seat. Fang Shu looked at it and found that the last one was a book called "The World's Strategy" .
This book is similar to "Thirty-Six Strategies" at a glance, and it should be the emperor's goal.
You are right.
Fang Shu breathed a sigh of relief, and then just waited for the auction to start.
Her place is on the second floor of the mezzanine, a bit like the elevated floor of a modern bachelor apartment. The side of the room facing the auction items is empty, and the items can be seen, only covered by a curtain.
Fang Shu asked, it doesn't matter if you can't see clearly, someone will pass the product back and forth, and check it for anyone who is interested to confirm the authenticity.
She couldn't tell if it was true or not, but the emperor could tell. Although he didn't see which room he entered, but if he wanted to bid, he would definitely make a sound. She knew his voice, and it was very familiar.
Listening from someone else's point of view is different from my own point of view. For example, when she was in the emperor's body, the emperor's voice was a little distorted, and she just felt a little magnetic.
Once you switch to someone else's perspective, such as her own, and then listen to the emperor's voice, you will feel very magnetic, clear and clear, like pearls and jade colliding.
Just now she followed behind them, and she heard only a few words of his conversation with Li Zhai.
Your Majesty is really blessed, nothing else matters, even the voice is so nice.
Fang Shu waited in the private seat. After about ten minutes, she finished eating a plate of dim sum before the auction started.
The first one is a statue of mutton fat jade, carved with a Bodhisattva, a very large one, and the asking price is three thousand taels of silver. Fang Shu was so frightened that she quickly counted the silver bills in her parcel. About 50,000 taels, one thousand taels a piece.
There are still a lot of jewelry, she asked, Tianbaozhai can estimate the price and exchange it for silver, but it will be lower than the actual price, the empress should know, so don't worry.
It is said that Tianbaozhai has a long history, and the auctioned items are all treasures. Every piece of Fang Shu is hard to come by. It is too expensive, even more expensive than selling her.
I don't know how many pieces were auctioned, Fang Shu also finished a plate of fruit on the table, and finally went to "Tianxia Moshu".
The starting price was 5,000 taels of silver. In fact, only the first and last pieces were the most valuable at the auction house.
Although five thousand taels of silver is not much, in fact, the exchange method of silver in ancient times is different from that of today, and one tael of silver is worth a lot of money.
Fang Shu was not in a hurry to shoot, because she didn't hear the emperor's voice, and she didn't know how high he could go.
The emperor hasn't made a move yet, she, the one sent by the queen, can't be left behind.
Fang Shu waited and waited, watching the price getting higher and higher, from 5,000 to 6,000, to 10,000, and then to 20,000. Suddenly, someone in the opposite seat said, "50,000 taels."
The voice was very familiar, it wasn't the emperor's, it was Li Zhai's.
Mom, it's good to have money. I killed the queen directly, and I didn't have enough money.
Fang Shu bit her nails, and hurriedly recruited the steward to exchange gold, silver and jewelry. Fortunately, the empress knew that the silver was not enough, so she brought some other things.
Women do buy more things than men. For example, the emperor only needs to buy clothes for the whole body, and the empress also needs to buy headgear, jewelry, rouge and gouache, all kinds of things, and the cost is naturally high, so her money is basically replaced by gold. silver jewelry.
The steward was a knowledgeable person, so she returned some and only replaced some. She asked why? The steward said that he couldn't afford to keep the things in the palace.
Most of the empress's jewelry was brought by her natal family, and a small part was from the palace. Those in the palace were not exchanged, only the dowry. There were all kinds of jewelry about 30,000 taels. For some reason, Fang Shu instinctively kept the pair. The fluorescent bracelet has not been changed.
This pair of bracelets is so beautiful, the empress must like it very much, if it wasn't for pleasing the emperor, she wouldn't have given it out at all, would she
Luminous, how rare.
Thirty taels, I don't know if it is enough.
The price suddenly increased from 20,000 taels to 50,000 taels. The crowd was stunned for a long time before someone added it to 51,200 taels, and then Li Zhai, a bastard, raised it to 60,000 taels in one go.
Don't add any more, I know you are rich and powerful.
But is it really worth spending so much money just to buy a set of military books
Sixty thousand taels is of course not worth it to ordinary people, but it is priceless to the emperor, right? Maybe let him win the battle and save the army from a life-and-death duel
In short, Fang Shu could see that the emperor was bound to win!
What to do, she only has 80,000 taels.
Fang Shu took a deep breath and asked the steward to call, "Eighty thousand taels."
If you add it to death, I will also add it, creating an illusion that she is not short of money, and she is bound to get it.
I'm not short of money, and I must, so let's fight to see who has no money first.
The emperor should have concerns about spending so much money on a set of military books. The treasury does have money, but it is not his. The money should be privately owned.
Don't look at the emperor as the emperor, in fact, the emperor is doing business in private. One day when Fang Shu was fumbling for a note under the pillow, she accidentally found out the bill.
She thought that the emperor left it for her. What's the purpose? After reading it for a long time, she found out that it was a profit bill. There were many shops, land deeds and house deeds, etc.
If you want to fight a war, you need money first, and the treasury ministers must have opinions. It is not convenient for him to spend money in private, especially with such a large amount of money, so he started his own business.
The imperial court has always had a rule that ministers are not allowed to do business. They are afraid that the people below will be corrupted. As the leader, the emperor is naturally unable to take risks and make big moves, so his money is limited.
Just try where his limit is, if it still doesn't work, you can only sell the pair of fluorescent bracelets.
"Ninety thousand taels."
There was a shout from the other side.
Fang Shu's heart turned cold, thinking about it, that's the emperor, even if there is a limit, it won't be too low, a hundred or two hundred thousand can still be spent, right
Her heart suddenly became cold, and Fang Shu had no choice but to take out the fluorescent bracelet from the package, and introduced it to the steward's ear. The steward understood, walked to the window, and said, "Young master wants to add another pair. Luminous bracelet, this bracelet is from the Western Regions, it is the only one in the world, it is extremely rare."
He repeated Fang Shu's words, because this thing is really rare, so Fang Shu boasted that there is only one in the world, and the manager didn't think it was a lie, so he just held up the bracelet for everyone to see.
"Please blow out the candles, everyone."
It was night, and it was in a dark environment. As soon as the candle was blown out, the bracelet immediately lit up with a clean and beautiful luster.
The steward didn't show it to everyone for too long, and just as soon as the front legs were put away, someone hurried up to the stage and whispered something in the ear of the auctioneer, who immediately said, "The things are not for sale, The seller is willing to exchange with the son in Room 11."
Room 11 is Fang Shu.
Fang Shu blinked, almost in disbelief, it was so easy
So the seller is a girl
Or is it that the empress has a clever calculation and knows that this pair of bracelets is attractive to the seller
In short, the book was sold. Fang Shu breathed a sigh of relief, and picked it up suddenly. For some reason, she felt a chill on the back of her neck.
The emperor is not a person who is willing to let it go, he will definitely come to stop him!
Sure enough, Fang Shu heard someone talking on the opposite side, "Wait a minute!"
The voice was cold and cold, "I want to spend 90,000 taels to buy a book for a few days, and return it as soon as I finish copying it. You can help me and ask her if she is willing. If you are worried, just look at it with your own eyes."
He likes bracelets, and would rather have a bracelet than a silver ticket. Obviously, it is more likely to be a girl, and he has already changed his name in his heart.
The person in charge of the auction was stunned, and turned around to send a message. Fang Shu suddenly said, "I won't buy it if I show it to him. What I bought is a single copy. Anyone can read it. How dare you sell it at such a high price?"
You can't let the emperor read it. It's useless for her to buy this book after the emperor reads it. It's only valuable if he hasn't read it.
"This..." The person who presided over the auction had an embarrassing face.
"My lord is right. Since the things have been promised to you, the lord in Room 6 can make a private transaction with the lord in Room 11." The person in Room 7 interrupted suddenly. It was a girl. It was hers, she was the seller, and she took a fancy to Fang Shu's bracelet.
Room No. 6 belongs to the emperor, and Fang Shu belongs to Room 11. Sure enough, if she is rich, she is an uncle. She wears a fake beard, and she dresses very sloppily. Some people call her son.
Thinking about it this way, Li Zhai is honest.
The owner of Room No. 7 is a person who keeps his promise and is not greedy, but just after she finished speaking, Fang Shu's feeling of being watched became stronger, like a knife, swishing her into a hedgehog.
Looking back, sure enough, there was a person standing behind the tulle on the opposite side. That person was thin and tall, with a long body.
"This set of books will not be sold or borrowed, and will not be borrowed no matter how much money is given." Fang Shu replied with a guilty conscience.
I don't know if it's her illusion, but I always feel that the current emperor wants to eat her.
She must be very angry. She snatched his favorite military book and said that, as if telling him clearly that even if you have money, it is useless. I will never show you the book.
How much hatred can do this? I would rather have trouble with money than let him look at it, for fear that my lungs will explode.
