"Second Young Master, what is this?" Someone asked immediately.
The Lu family is very powerful in Hangzhou, and their wealth is second to none. When everyone sees the second child of the Lu family, they always call him "Second Young Master".
The second young master glanced at everyone, and said proudly: "Speaking of these two items, they can be regarded as rare treasures in my Dachu. Even if there is silver, there is nowhere to buy them."
As soon as the treasure was mentioned, He Ruhui's eyes lit up immediately, and asked: "What is it, the second young master might as well tell everyone, and let everyone open their eyes."
The second young master approached the nanmu gold thread table, pointed to the long standing thing, and said with a smile: "This one is a plaything from Fusang Kingdom, a small island in the East China Sea, called Yezhan Buddha!"
Everyone immediately started talking, and they were all puzzled.
Xue Poye's heart was shocked, and he thought: "Fusang Country? Isn't it the place of Little Japan? What good things can Little Japan produce."
In this era, Great Chu is still the richest and most powerful country in the world. It follows enlightenment, is gentle and courteous, and shows the style of a big country everywhere, like Fusang, Korea, Ceylon and other countries, although they are not like Beihu. It is so barbaric, but it is also poor in culture. Compared with the great Chu, it is the difference between ancestors and descendants.
During this period, no matter where the people of Great Chu arrived, they would be greatly welcomed. In the eyes of all countries, the central part of Great Chu was originally a state of ceremonies, with majestic majesty, and all countries regarded themselves as the next country, congratulating and paying tribute, and even the kings Chu ordered the canonization.
Fusang is a small country in the East China Sea, so it is willing to be inferior to Dachu. Everyone is also very puzzled, what good things can come out of such a small country.
The second young master saw that everyone was curious, so he ordered: "Turn off the lights!"
When even a servant girl extinguished all the surrounding lanterns, and when the lanterns were extinguished, the things covered by the yellow satin suddenly lit up.
There was silence all around, the second young master stepped forward and gently lifted the yellow satin, everyone exclaimed "uh", the voices were extremely unified, they were all amazed and unbelievable.
Xue Poye opened his eyes wide, and what was displayed in front of him was indeed a rare treasure.
I saw that it was really a pagoda shape, the body was snow-white, crystal clear, and it was carved from the best crystal. In the center, there is a bright red bead, the light is emitted from that bead, and the inner layer rotates slightly, and there are various color printings on the body of the tower, and various patterns are combined with the rotation of the inner crystal plate, these patterns Radiating from the pagoda, projected around, the image is huge, falling on the grass, among the crowd, on the branches and leaves, but it is a dignified and solemn image of an eminent monk, these images are extremely realistic, at first glance, It's just like the real thing, and the picture is full of a faint mist, hazy and quiet.
Rao Xue Poye came from modern times, and had seen countless novelty things, but when he saw this "Ye Zhan Buddha", he was incomparably amazed, and sighed in his heart: "Unexpectedly, Japanese devils also have such craftsmanship."
In the silent field, everyone was stupefied and could not take their eyes off the "Ye Zhan Buddha". The second young master slowly explained: "This is the Ye Zhan Buddha of Fusang Kingdom. It can reflect all kinds of Buddha statues for viewing." After a pause, he continued: "The body of the pagoda is carved out of crystal, and there are organs inside. Although such an organ structure is not as ingenious as the organ technique of my Great Chu Gongsun's family , but it is also exquisite, the red pearl is called the blood-colored pearl, it was found by the Fusang dwarves in the East China Sea, it is extremely precious, and there are not many such treasures in Fusang."
"Then how did the second young master get such a treasure?" Someone asked immediately.
The second young master smiled mysteriously: "Speaking of it, it's luck. When my father-in-law's fleet was fishing in the East China Sea, they encountered two Fusang cargo ships that were destroyed by the tsunami, so they got something."
The second young master's father-in-law is naturally from the Fang family in Suzhou, and there is a fleet in the East China Sea.
When Xue Poye heard this, he had a big problem. If the Fusang cargo ship encountered a tsunami, it would naturally be destroyed and sink to the bottom of the sea. What floated on the sea surface were nothing more than scraps of wood. Such precious "Ye Zhan Buddha" and other treasures Naturally, they also sank into the sea together, so how could they be brought back by the Fang family? Naturally, there is something hidden in this, and it is even possible that the Fang family robbed the Fusang cargo ship.
At that moment, someone sighed: "Today is really an eye-opener!" Many people praised and sighed.
Tan Ziqing stroked his beard and smiled, looking at the Yezhan Buddha, his face showed admiration. Although Liu Tuo was elegant, his eyes were wider than usual when he saw such a treasure. As for He Ruhui, the two The eyeballs seem to stick out.
The second young master said loudly: "For the lord Yushi to practice, my Lu family is willing to donate this treasure to increase the interest."
Everyone exclaimed, and said that the second young master wanted to present this treasure to Tan Ziqing, but the second young master continued: "But there are so many guests present, and there is only one treasure, so naturally it cannot be broken, and each person will share a piece."
Everyone exclaimed again, hearing what the second young master meant, it seemed that he wanted to bestow this treasure on one of the people present.
Xue Poye was also taken aback. He thought it was to increase the excitement, so he took out the treasures for everyone to see. Unexpectedly, the Lu family was so generous that they wanted to give them away. He was a little puzzled, but he also understood that the two Fusang ships There are many rare treasures on the cargo ship. I think the Fang family got a lot and sent a batch to the Lu Mansion. Naturally, the Lu Mansion will not only have these two treasures on the table, but no matter how many treasures there are, there is no need to do so. Give it away generously.
Xue Poye even thought that this Yezhan Buddha might only be regarded as an ordinary item among those treasures, and there were many more precious treasures.
In Xue Poye's eyes, the most valuable part of this Yezhan Buddha is naturally the blood-colored pearl, and other parts are also common, but the carving is exquisite and made with mechanisms, so it is extremely precious. If it is placed in later generations However, in this era, like a movie, using the blood-colored pearl's light source through the crystal to form a Buddha statue for display is already a very remarkable achievement.
An official tremblingly said, "Second young master, is he going to give this Ye Zhan Buddha to one of us?"
The second young master nodded and said: "That's right!" He shouted: "Light up the lanterns!" The servant girls around immediately stepped forward and lit all the candles and lanterns around them. The light of the light dimmed immediately, and the second young master immediately covered Ye Zhan Buddha with yellow satin.
When all the lanterns were lit and everyone's eyes fell on the second young master, the second young master said slowly: "Who will belong to the Ye Zhan Buddha? It depends on everyone's ability."
Everyone was puzzled, Xue Poye also frowned.
"Second Young Master, what skills do you need to get this Ye Zhan Buddha?" This precious treasure is right in front of your eyes, so everyone naturally wants to get it, and someone immediately asks, quite anxiously.
The second young master waved his hand and said: "Everyone, don't worry, everyone here is a guest of the Lu Mansion, and everyone is a distinguished guest. Naturally, we will be fair and just, and treat everyone equally. Everyone will have a chance."
He's showing off like this, and everyone is even more anxious.
With a wave of his hand, the second young master shouted loudly: "Put the pen and ink!"
I saw maids and servants entering in a file. Except for Tan Ziqing and the three great scholars on his right who did not have pens and inks, each of the others offered pens, inks, papers and inkstones. Naturally, Xue Poye's case table would not be missing.
As expected, the Lu family was rich and powerful, so with a random word, hundreds of sets of pens, inks, papers and inkstones were distributed to everyone.
In fact, quite a few of them were military officers. Although the marching army was very majestic, many of them had never even held a pen. When the ink, paper and inkstone were placed in front of them, they all frowned and their faces darkened.
Isn't this embarrassing us warriors
At that moment, a military officer shouted: "Second young master, you still say that it is fair and just. I can't even hold a brush. How can I write? Is this going to be the number one scholar?" The old men shouted and shouted again and again, if it were Biwen, this treasure would be a hundred and eight thousand miles away from these warriors.
The second young master could hold his breath and explained: "Everyone, don't worry, I promise that today will be fair and just. This is for Mr. Yushi to practice and add some programs. If there is no fairness and fairness, then there will be no fun." .”
This remark made everyone applaud, Xue Poye also showed a smile, and said in his heart: "It seems that the second young master is really not an idiot, but he is too afraid of his wife. Once this man is afraid of his wife, his bones will soften."
In this scene, the gentle breeze blows gently, the fragrance of flowers fills the air, and there is even the fresh smell of green grass and green leaves. The moon rises to the west building, the wind blows the sleeves, and there are treasures in front of them. Master, wait for him to tell the rules.
"First of all, Master Han will set the question, and you will write the answers and names on the paper, and then collect them. Three great Confucian scholars, Master Han, Master Xun, and Master Mo, will comment and make a decision. Only those who pass the test can enter the second round. If there are those who are not good at writing, they can have a young servant to write for them. This first round does not test literary talent, but only wisdom." The second young master said loudly.
After saying this, naturally no one will have an opinion, even those who are dissatisfied dare not speak out, if they want to object to this program, then naturally they are confessing that their IQ is not enough.
In fact, those who are present today, needless to say, the literary giants and scholars, those civil and military officials in the officialdom are also cultivated through intrigue and intrigue. When it comes to IQ, naturally they are not too bad.
Tan Ziqing laughed, and said to Han Mozhuang, "Master, please write a question?"
Master Han stood up slowly, trembling, pondered for a moment, and finally said: "The old man asked a question, everyone listen carefully, what water has no fish? What mountain has no rocks? What tree has no branches? What son has no father? What daughter No husband? He Cheng Wushi? There are many answers to these six questions, but they must be well-founded, and you must not answer a question wrongly. Only when all six questions are correct can you advance to the next round. Please answer the questions!"
