"Second Young Master, what is this?" Someone asked at that moment.
The Lu family is very powerful in Hangzhou, and its wealth is second to none. When everyone sees the second son of the Lu family, they always want to call him "Second Young Master".
The second young master glanced at everyone and said proudly: "Speaking of these two things, they are considered rare treasures in my country. Even if there is money, there is nowhere to buy them."
As soon as he mentioned the treasure, He Ruhui's eyes immediately lit up and he asked: "What exactly is it? Second Young Master might as well tell everyone about it and open their eyes."
The second young master approached the nanmu and gold-wired table, pointed at the long standing object, and said with a smile: "This one is a toy found in Fusang Country, a small island in the East China Sea. It is called Night Viewing Buddha!"
Everyone immediately started talking, and they were all confused about what he meant.
Xue Poye was shocked and thought: "Fuso Country? Isn't it a place like Little Japan? What good things can come out of Little Japan?"
In this era, Dachu was still the richest and most powerful country in the world. It followed the teachings, was gentle and polite, and showed the style of a great country everywhere. It was like Fusang, Goryeo, Ceylon and other countries, although it was not like Beihu.
It was so barbaric, but it was also poor in culture. Compared with the vast Chu, that was the difference between ancestors and descendants.
During this period, the people of Da Chu would be greatly welcomed wherever they arrived. In the eyes of all countries, the Central Plains of Da Chu was a land of etiquette and majesty of heaven. Countries from all over the world came to the country one after another, paid tribute and congratulations, and even the kings paid homage to them.
Chu issued an edict to canonize him.
Fusang is a small country in the East China Sea, and naturally it is content to be inferior to the great Chu. Everyone is also confused as to what good things can come out of such a small country.
When the second young master saw everyone showing curiosity, he ordered: "Turn off the lights!"
When the maids and servants extinguished all the lanterns around them, when the lanterns were extinguished, the things covered by the yellow satin suddenly became bright.
There was silence all around. The second young master stepped forward and gently opened the yellow satin. Everyone exclaimed "Huh" in a unified voice. They were all amazed and in disbelief.
Xue Poye opened his eyes wide, and what was displayed in front of him was indeed a rare treasure.
I saw that it really was in the shape of a pagoda, with a mixture of snow white and crystal clear. It was carved from the finest crystal. The tower body had six floors and the flying pavilions were lifelike. The workmanship could be said to be ingenious.
In the middle, there is a bright red bead, and the light is emitted from that bead, and the inner layer is gently rotating. There are various color prints on the tower body, and various patterns are combined with the rotation of the inner crystal pieces. These patterns
Radiating from the tower and projecting around, the images are huge and fall on the grass, among the crowd, and on the branches and leaves, but they are the image of a dignified and solemn monk. These images are extremely lifelike. At first glance,
It's just like the real thing, and the picture is filled with a touch of water, hazy and quiet.
Even though Xue Poye came from modern times and had seen countless novel things, when he suddenly saw this "Looking at the Buddha at Night", he was filled with admiration and sighed in his heart: "I didn't expect the Japanese devils to have such skills."
In the silent scene, everyone was dumbfounded and couldn't take their eyes off the "Night-Looking Buddha". The second young master slowly explained: "This is the Night-Looking Buddha of Fusang Kingdom. In other words, under the night, there are no lights.
It can reflect various Buddha statues for viewing." After a pause, he continued: "The body of the tower is carved from crystal, and there are mechanisms inside. Although this kind of mechanism structure is not as clever as the mechanism skills of the great Chu Gongsun family,
, but it is also exquisite. The red pearl is called the Blood Pearl. It was found by the Fuso Dwarves in the East China Sea. It is extremely precious. There are not many such treasures in Fuso Country."
"How did the second young master obtain such a treasure?" someone immediately asked.
The second young master smiled mysteriously and said: "It is also luck. When my father-in-law's fleet was fishing in the East China Sea, it encountered two Fuso cargo ships that were destroyed by the tsunami, so we got something."
The second young master's father-in-law is naturally from the Fang family in Suzhou, and they have a fleet on the East China Sea.
Xue Poye had a big problem when he heard this. If the Fuso cargo ship encountered a tsunami, it would naturally be destroyed and sunk to the bottom of the sea. What would float on the sea surface would be nothing more than scraps of wooden boards. Treasures such as this precious "Night Viewing Buddha" would
Naturally, they also sank into the sea together. How can they be brought back by the Fang family? There is naturally a hidden secret in this. It is even possible that the Fang family robbed the Fuso cargo ship.
At that moment, someone sighed: "Today is really an eye-opener!" Many people sighed in admiration.
Tan Ziqing stroked his beard and smiled, looking at the Buddha that night, with a look of appreciation on his face. Although Liu Tuo was gentle and elegant, his eyes were wider than usual when he saw such a treasure. As for He Ruhui, the two of them were
Every eyeball seemed to pop out.
The second young master said loudly: "In order to practice it for the imperial censor, I, the Lu family, are willing to donate this treasure to enhance your taste."
Everyone exclaimed and said that the second young master wanted to present this treasure to Tan Ziqing, but they heard the second young master continue: "But there are so many guests here and there is only one treasure. Naturally, it cannot be broken. Each person will share a piece."
Everyone exclaimed again, hearing what the second young master meant, it seemed that he wanted to give this treasure to one of the people present.
Xue Poye was also surprised. He thought it was to add a bit of excitement, so he took out the treasures for everyone to see. He didn't expect that the Lu family was so generous and wanted to give them away. He was a little confused, but he also understood that the two Fuso ships
There are many rare treasures on the cargo ship. I think the Fang family got a lot and transferred a batch to the Lu Mansion. Naturally, the Lu Mansion will not only have these two treasures on the table, but even if there are more treasures, there is no need for this.
Give it away generously to others.
Xue Poye even thought that the Night Viewing Buddha might only be regarded as an ordinary thing in that batch of treasures, and there were many more precious treasures.
In Xue Poye's eyes, the most precious part of the Night Vision Buddha is naturally the bloody pearl. The other parts are also common, but the carvings are fine and have mechanisms, so they appear extremely valuable. If it is placed in later generations
, such a mechanical technique is nothing, but in this era, just like showing a movie, using the light source of the bloody pearl through the crystal to form a Buddha statue and display it is already a very remarkable achievement.
I heard an official say in a trembling voice: "Is the second young master going to give this night view of Buddha to one of us?"
The second young master nodded and said, "That's right!" He shouted, "Light the lanterns!" The maids and servants around him immediately stepped forward and lit all the candles and lanterns around them. The place was as bright as day again for a while, and that night he looked at the Buddha.
The light suddenly dimmed, and the second young master immediately covered the Buddha at Night with yellow satin.
When all the lanterns were lit and everyone's eyes fell on the second young master, the second young master slowly said: "Who will be the one to watch the Buddha at night? That depends on your ability."
Everyone became confused, and Xue Poye also frowned.
"Second Young Master, what kind of skills do you need to get this Night Viewing Buddha?" This precious treasure is so close in front of you, so naturally everyone wants to get it, and someone immediately started asking, quite anxiously.
The second young master waved his hand and said: "Don't worry, everyone here is a guest of the Lu Mansion. Everyone is a distinguished guest. Naturally, we will be fair and just, treat everyone equally, and everyone will have a chance."
He was so arrogant, and everyone was even more anxious.
With a wave of his hand, the second young master shouted loudly: "Put on the pen and ink!"
As soon as they saw the maids and servants filing in, except for Tan Ziqing and the three scholars on his right who did not have pens and ink, everyone else was provided with pens, ink, paper and inkstones, and Xue Poye's desk was naturally not missing.
The Lu family was indeed rich and powerful, so with just a few words, these hundreds of sets of pens, inks, papers and inkstones were distributed to everyone's cases.
In fact, many of them were military attachés. Although the march was very majestic, many of them had never even picked up a pen. When this piece of ink, paper and inkstone was placed in front of them, they frowned and their faces darkened.
Doesn’t this make things difficult for us warriors?
At that moment, a military attache shouted: "Second Young Master, you still talk about fairness and justice. I can't even hold a brush. How can I write? Is this going to be the top scorer?" As soon as he finished speaking, a big brother who was in the same situation as him
The rough guys all started shouting and shouting, if it were Biwen, this treasure would be far away from these warriors.
The second young master was able to keep his composure and explained: "Don't be anxious, everyone. I promise that today will be fair and just. This is just for the practice of the royal censor and to add some programs. If there is no fairness and fairness, it will be no fun."
.”
These words made everyone applaud, and Xue Poye also smiled and said to himself: "It seems that the second young master is really not a straw bag, but he is too afraid of his wife. Once this man is afraid of his wife, his bones will become soft."
In this scene, gusts of breeze caressed, the fragrance of flowers filled the air, and the fresh smell of green grass and green leaves. The moon went up to the west building, the wind blew the sleeves, and there was a treasure in front of them. Everyone looked at the two of them eagerly.
Master, wait for him to tell you the rules.
"First, Confucius Han will set the question, and you will write down the answers and names on the paper, and then collect it. Confucius Han, Confucius Xun, and Confucius Mo will comment and make a decision. Only those who pass the test can enter the second round. If
If you are not good at writing, you can have a boy write for you. This round will not test literary talent, only wisdom." The second young master said loudly.
As soon as I say this, no one will have any objections. Even those who are dissatisfied will not dare to speak out. If they object to this program, they will naturally admit that their IQ is not enough.
In fact, those here today, not to mention the literary giants and scholars, the civil and military officials in the officialdom were also trained through intrigues and intrigues. When it comes to IQ, naturally there is no bad one.
Tan Ziqing laughed and smiled at Han Mozhuang: "Master, please give me a question?"
Master Han stood up slowly, tremblingly, pondered for a moment, and finally said: "I have a question for you. Listen carefully. Where is the water without fish? Where is the mountain without rocks? Where is the tree without branches? Where is the son without a father? Where is the daughter?
No husband? Where is the city without a city? There are many answers to these six questions, but they must be well-founded, and you cannot answer a single question wrong. Only if all six questions are correct can you advance to the next round. Please answer the questions!" dd
