Everyone looked at the pieces of silver in Yang Wu's hand and burst into laughter again. Even the four courtesans on the stage were filled with embarrassing embarrassment.
When Pei Wanying saw this scene, she had already buried her head deeply in her arms. She couldn't bear it. Is this guy crazy? What can you do with those scraps of silver? In the four major flower shops, no one gets even a small amount of money for tipping!
Zheng Xingtai and Lu Ao looked at Li Hong and Yang Wu, a master and servant pair, and couldn't help but shake their heads and sigh. They thought it was the background and ability of this person that made the two of them feel like they were facing a formidable enemy. Now it seems that they are It is no fun for a poor scholar to fight with such a lowly scholar.
Li Hong and Yang Wu naturally heard the roar of laughter from the audience, and angrily took the broken silver in Yang Wu's palm... and put it into their arms in full view of everyone.
"This..." Many scholars in the audience were dumbfounded. What does this mean? Take it from the hands of the master and servant, and then put it in your pocket
But before they could react, Yang Wu's hand came out of his arms again, and now there was a heavier-looking bag in his hand.
Lu Ao looked at Yang Wu carrying a bag seriously and thought that even if it was worth some money, it was just some silver.
"Master Li, is it possible that your old slave is holding a Qiankun bag? Is it filled with 80,000 taels of silver?" Lu Ao's tone was full of sarcasm.
In his opinion, even if the bag was full of silver, it was only a hundred taels of silver.
"This is not silver, this is a hundred gold leaves." Before Li Hong could speak, Yang Wu pulled off his pocket, holding the hundred gold leaves neatly in his hand, and corrected Lu Ao seriously. mistake.
"Wow… ."
"Oh my God… ."
"Is this really gold leaf? It's the first time I've seen it in my life."
A hundred brilliant golden leaves were strung together by a golden rope. As they were held in Yangwu's hand, they made a crisp sound of leaves colliding with each other from time to time. In the silent hall, it sounded louder than the sound of leaves. The singing voices of the four great courtesans are even more beautiful!
Every leaf exudes golden light, as if the entire hall is suddenly illuminated with splendor.
Zheng Xingtai's eyes straightened, and Lu Ao was stunned, not knowing what to say, staring stupidly at the string of scorching gold leaves!
The four pairs of beautiful eyes of Xue Chuer, Huo Xiaoyu, Du Qiuniang and Yan Lingbin looked at the string of gold leaves, as if they had entered a dream. Looking at the string of golden, crisp and sweet gold leaves, they felt so uncomfortable. reality.
Pei Wanying and Pei Si held up their teacups and looked at each other with dull eyes. Is this really gold leaf? Nowadays, those who can use gold leaves as money in the Tang Dynasty are not ordinary people!
Gold leaves are like the gold and silver Kaiyuan Tongbao in the palace. Its value is not directly reflected in its quantity. Its value far exceeds its own value.
It itself is used to represent the noble status of a person or a family. Who is willing to spend nothing to play with gold leaves
This guy took out a hundred gold leaves at once. Even the Zheng and Lu families probably couldn't take out a hundred gold leaves anytime and anywhere, right? !
The scholars in the audience looked at the string of gold leaves. The golden leaves looked as dazzling as the sun hanging high in the sky!
Zheng Xingtai began to get nervous. He could casually take out a hundred gold leaves. This person's identity is definitely not trivial. If things go wrong, he will really get kicked today.
But according to the law, the importance of a gold leaf is strictly controlled to no more than one tael. Even if he has a hundred gold leaves in his hand, it will only be converted into silver taels for only one thousand taels.
Lu Ao was still stunned and didn't react. He stared at the dazzling string of gold leaves. He never thought that what he took out were gold leaves!
"Brother Li, please." Zheng Xingtai saluted respectfully. His attitude at this time had a 180-degree change from before, and he said cautiously: "Brother Li, even if you want to use this gold leaf to redeem their lives, , I’m afraid it’s not enough. One gold leaf is one tael, which is ten taels of silver. These one hundred gold leaves are only one thousand taels of silver, so I’m afraid it’s not enough.”
Li Hong didn't expect that Yang Wu would shake out the gold leaves for the two hundred and fifty. At this moment, hearing Zheng Xingtai's words, he impatiently asked Yang Wu to put away the gold leaves, then waved a hundred gold leaves around, and followed Like a nouveau riche.
"I'll give you the gold leaves. Do you have the qualifications to spend them?" Li Hong glanced at Zheng Xingtai, and then said to Yang Wu, "Bring them here."
"Yes, Master." Yang Wu said respectfully.
Next, Yang Wu packed up the golden leaf and put it into his arms again. The entire hall seemed to disappear because of the golden light, and suddenly became dim again.
In order to better distinguish the denominations of Datang's current banknotes, not only are the specific numbers marked on the banknotes, but the colors of the banknotes are also different. The largest denomination of 10,000 taels of banknotes is different from higher denominations of banknotes. The ones used are purple, which is recognized as the most respected by people in this era, besides the yellow used only by the royal family.
Therefore, all silver notes worth more than 10,000 taels in the Royal Bank are made of secretly made purple silver notes.
When Yang Wu stretched his hand out of his arms again, he suddenly saw about ten or twenty purple silver notes in his hand. The purple stack of banknotes naturally made everyone on the stage and off the stage wide open in an instant. mouth!
"What does this guy do? Come out to participate in a poetry festival and bring so much money?"
"This is the purple silver note with the largest denomination. If you take one less, it will cost you ten thousand taels."
"Isn't eight pieces enough for the redemption fee? Isn't this a pile of ten or twenty pieces?"
"It's not like that. I saw a thousand-tael silver note before. The color is right, but it doesn't seem to be as big as the one in his hand? I remember it was smaller than the one in his hand."
The scholars in the audience were talking in low voices, full of curiosity about Li Hong's identity and Erbai Wu's behavior. It was strange enough to attend a poetry meeting without a book boy or a maid, but with an old servant.
I didn't expect that someone would bring a hundred gold leaves with him when he attended the poetry festival. Not to mention that, after a while, he packed up the gold leaves and took out at least ten or two hundred thousand in silver notes. This weird thing What are you doing with so much money
Pei Wanying and Pei Si were already numb. Ever since Li Hong came on stage, her heart had never been at peace. She was always up and down, as if she was on a swing, swaying back and forth, full of tangles, tension and uneasiness. .
The four girls on the stage almost didn't know what was going on today. A series of things that happened made their originally smart minds suddenly become sluggish.
These successive blows drove them almost crazy. Sometimes they saw a glimmer of hope, and then they saw endless despair. Now they no longer dare to raise hope in their hearts, for they are deeply afraid of being hit again in the next second.
The astonished people watched as Li Hong casually took out a purple banknote and handed it to Lu Ao who was stunned on the spot: "This is a banknote of one hundred thousand taels. Give me 20,000 taels." , the person is mine now.”
There was complete silence on and off the stage, and you could hear a pin drop!
"A purple silver note worth one hundred thousand taels! This is the first time in my life that I've seen it. It seems that my life has not been in vain. I finally saw a silver note worth one hundred thousand taels! Wuwuwu... "
"One hundred thousand taels... One hundred thousand taels... Then... Then... Then the silver note in his hand is worth more than one million or two million yuan!"
"Papa papa..." The sound from the audience was more like the sound of a tea cup falling to the ground and shattering.
The worldview of many scholars has completely collapsed. Are they still human? Come out with more than one million or two million in banknotes? How can anyone survive with dozens, hundreds, or even thousands of taels of silver notes in his pocket? How will I go out to participate in poetry gatherings in the future
Pei Wanying and Pei Si turned pale. What kind of monster had they met? No wonder it is said that if a medical school is to be built in Lantian, then a medical school should be built! who is he? Why are you so rich? What's important is why he has so much power!
The four women on the stage had tears in their eyes. They had never seen a banknote worth one hundred thousand taels, but as the four most famous people in the flower shop, they had seen a lot of banknotes worth ten thousand taels. The banknote they saw just now was After voting, they were so excited that they almost cheered!
I just didn't expect that a bank note in his hand would be enough to redeem the lives of the four of them!
Lu Ao took the banknote with trembling hands and looked back and forth over the banknote, but could not find any trace of fraud. This was a genuine one hundred thousand tael banknote!
Zheng Xingtai moved his steps laboriously and walked up to Lu Ao to inspect it together. Likewise, he found no doubt that it was indeed a genuine bank note.
The two of them looked at Li Hong blankly, and a big question arose in their hearts: Who is this person? How could he be so rich
And just when the two of them were looking around blankly, the four people who were originally proud of them looked at each other at this moment, walked side by side to Li Hong and saluted: "Servants Huo Xiaoyu, Du Qiuniang, Yan Lingbin, and Xue Chu'er have met sir. "
The slaves became slaves, which marked that they had changed their identities at this moment, and now they were free! It is no longer an object for guests to flirt and have fun with, but belongs only to Mr. Li in front of him.
Li Hong patted Yan Lingbin on the shoulder, motioned for them to get up and talk, and then urged Lu Ao: "Hurry, bring me the deed of betrayal and twenty thousand taels of silver."
"You... are you lying?" Lu Ao suddenly blushed and said arrogantly.
There was no way, now he couldn't come up with 20,000 taels of silver notes to ask others, not to mention, the sale of the body known to the four major parties was not something he could make the decision by himself.
Today, I just wanted to ridicule Li Bai. How could I have thought that he could really afford 80,000 taels of silver, and more importantly, he was really willing to throw 80,000 taels of silver to himself to redeem the lives of the four courtesans. .
