In fact, many of the guests who came to the banquet tonight had a very clear purpose. They wanted to take this opportunity to establish a relationship with King Yan.
Someone immediately stood up and took out a pair of dragon and phoenix jade bracelets he had brought. Although they were rare treasures, they were not worth mentioning to Xue Shengjing, who had collected countless treasures. Everyone was prepared.
Come, after a while, everyone found treasures one after another, including porcelain, gold, bronze, calligraphy and painting, strange stones, and jades. It can be said that the collections are all kinds and dazzling. It should be said that the collections brought by most people are quite high-quality. After all, everyone knows that King Yan
Xue Shengjing's eyesight was so great that if he were to fool him with an ordinary collection, he would definitely not be able to catch his eye.
Xue Shengjing looked at the collection for a long time. Although these collections could be called treasures, none of them could move him. Firstly, his vision was very high. Secondly, although these guests wanted to curry favor with him,
But no one will take out what they have at the bottom of the box to reveal the treasure. It's just that King Yan doesn't like it. If King Yan takes a fancy to it, wouldn't he have to bear the pain and give it up?
The more Xue Shengjing looked at it, the more depressed he became. He had put so much effort into organizing this night banquet with the purpose of discovering treasures at the dinner, but he didn't expect that there was not even a single thing that caught his eye. It was really a waste of his food and drinks.
The eldest princess Xue Lingjun sighed and said: "What about the palace night banquet and the treasure appraisal conference? Emperor brother, I think the treasures collected by these people are just like this, nothing rare."
At this time, everyone suddenly let out a sound of exclamation, but it was Zan Buliu who took out his treasure. He asked the warriors around him to pick up a white jade Guanyin statue and place it on the round table for display in the center of the venue. The white jade Guanyin statue stood three feet high.
, the whole body is carved from the finest mutton-fat jade, the carving is exquisite, ingenious, majestic, compassionate and solemn. It ranges from the hands, feet, sleeves, to the hair and eyebrows, it is meticulous and every detail is visible. What's even more wonderful is,
This Guanyin statue seems to be shrouded in a faint halo, lifelike.
When he saw the white jade Guanyin, Xue Shengjing's eyes suddenly lit up. After all, Zan Buliu was the master of Xinglong Xing, and his actions were indeed extraordinary.
The eldest princess Xue Lingjun said: "This white jade Guanyin is quite good."
Zan Buliu smiled and said: "Princess's vision is indeed extraordinary. This white jade Guanyin is carved from a whole piece of mutton-fat jade. The person who originally carved the Buddha statue was Master Ji Zheng, who is known as the Thousand-Armed Buddha."
Xue Shengjing said: "But Master Jizheng from Tianlong Temple?"
Zan Buliu smiled and said: "My lord, it is Master Ji Zheng from Tianlong Temple."
Hu Xiaotian was slightly startled when he heard about Tianlong Temple. He couldn't help but think of an allusion that Li Yuncong told him in the past. Three hundred years ago, Tianlong Temple was bloodbathed for offending the Dakang court, and many Buddhist relics were lost as a result.
, including the mysterious formless magic skill, which is the one that Hu Xiaotian is practicing now.
Sure enough, Zan Buliu's next words confirmed Hu Xiaotian's guess. This white jade Guanyin was once enshrined in the Guanyin Temple of Tianlong Temple. Later, because the Dakang court ordered a raid on Tianlong Temple, the whereabouts of this white jade Guanyin were lost from then on.
After many twists and turns, it finally landed in the home of a Buddhist believer, where it was worshiped for many years and passed down for several generations. Due to the decline of the family, the descendants sold the Guanyin statue. Zan Buliu got the information and spent a lot of money to buy it.
After hearing about the white jade Guanyin statue, Xue Shengjing had a strong desire to take it for himself, but he was embarrassed to show it too obviously in front of others. He praised: "Everything depends on chance. Brother Zan can get this Guanyin statue."
It seems like they are really destined to be together."
Zan Buliu smiled and said: "What the prince said is not entirely true. Zan does not believe in Buddhism, so this statue of Guanyin falling into my hands can be regarded as a secret investment. However, Zan has a special liking for the incense burner of the prince. I don't know.
Is the prince willing to give up his love?"
Xue Shengjing was overjoyed. Zan Buliu was indeed an all-rounder. He gave him this great gift in front of everyone, and he gave it so confidently and made himself so comfortable. However, this guy's scheming was also deep enough. Who was present?
He is not a fool. He can naturally see that this white jade Guanyin is worth much more than his incense burner. If he wants to give a gift, wouldn't it be better to give it privately? The purpose of giving it in public is to let everyone know that he owes it.
He was a big favor.
However, Xue Shengjing is not afraid of owing Zan Bu Ren this favor. A businessman values profit. He gave him this thing today because he must want to repay it in the future. It is not a big deal. He will just help him with some things in the future. If it is too much to ask
, you can turn your back and refuse to admit it. I forgive you and you won’t dare to say bad things about me behind my back.
Xue Shengjing smiled and said: "This white jade Guanyin is much more precious than my incense burner. In this way, I will give that coral tree..." He was about to say that he would give the coral tree to Zan Buliu, at least in the future.
You can find a balance in terms of face and let everyone witness that you are not using your power to overwhelm others, nor are you trying to take advantage of Zan Buliu.
At this time, a rough voice said: "Your Majesty, I don't think this Jade Guanyin is rare!"
Everyone looked up and saw a tall, fat guy with a big belly standing up. Most people didn't recognize this guy, but they didn't know who it was that interrupted the prince at this time and made his presence known?
Hu Xiaotian is not a professional in the collection industry. He has no say in this kind of matter. He himself has no intention of being in the limelight. However, he was entrusted with the matter of loyalty. Xi Yan was by his side to remind him that it was time to draw everyone's attention to
They are all attracted. His mission tonight is to attract everyone's attention and divert everyone's attention.
Hu Xiaotian couldn't help but feel guilty when he saw everyone looking at him. After all, many people present knew him. Although Xi Yan's disguise skills were very good, there was no guarantee that his behavior would reveal some of them inadvertently.
If there is a flaw, wouldn't it be a big trouble if someone recognizes it?
Fortunately, few of the guests present knew the fat man. Even Xue Shengjing, who invited him, seemed a little confused. Master Ma Qingshan came to him and whispered in his ear the identity of the fat man in front of him. Xue Shengjing then
It suddenly dawned on him that this fat man was indeed invited by him. Although Hai Dasheng, a newly wealthy businessman in Hailing County, was one of the guests he invited, Xue Shengjing was not familiar with him.
Before Zan Buliu said anything, the eldest princess Xue Lingjun was the first to lose her composure. She had just expressed her praise for the White Jade Guanyin in public, but Hai Dasheng openly said that the White Jade Guanyin was not rare. Doesn't he question his own vision? This
He was so bold that he openly sang against himself. Xue Lingjun said: "People have different visions and appreciate different things. No matter how good the treasure is, it is impossible for everyone to recognize it, especially the kind of common people who can only see it through one hole."
.”
Hu Xiaotian smiled and bowed to the eldest princess Xue Lingjun and said: "Although I have no experience in Xiahai Dasheng, I feel that this white jade Guanyin is not a treasure. The prince has really suffered a big loss by using such a precious incense burner."
Zan Buliu's eyes widened, and he thought to himself that I have never met this Hai Dasheng before. It seems that I have offended you in no way, so why are you telling lies with your eyes open? It's obviously me who suffered a big loss to please King Yan, okay?
King Yan Xue Shengjing was really dumbfounded when he heard what he said. He had just heard of Hai Dasheng's name recently and knew that this man had a rich collection. Last month, he bought a lot from the Jubaozhai he opened.
Calligraphy and painting, that's why I invited him to the banquet, but I didn't expect that this person's vision was so impotent that he couldn't even see the value of the White Jade Guanyin? Wouldn't it be ridiculous to make rash comments in front of all the experts?
The eldest princess Xue Lingjun said: "To put it lightly, what do you think is the real treasure?"
Hu Xiaotian said: "Although I, Hai Dasheng, am not very talented, I can compare myself to this Guanyin with just one thing."
Everyone looked at this strange businessman, and most of them showed disdain. Zan Buliu had a respected status in the Yongdu business community, and he was very popular. Many of the people present were his friends and business partners, so they naturally stood in their hearts.
On his side, someone had begun to laugh.
King Yan Xue Shengjing did not smile. Since Hai Dasheng dared to say this, he must have something to rely on. Otherwise, he would not dare to say such big words in front of him. Xue Shengjing smiled and said: "Mr. Hai is so courageous. I wonder if you
Are there any treasures that you can bring out to us to open our eyes?"
Hu Xiaotian turned behind him. Xi Yan came to him holding the wooden box and put it into his hands. Hu Xiaotian held the wooden box and said: "This treasure of mine cannot be seen in the light. Before I see this treasure, I hope the prince agrees with me."
A request."
King Yan Xue Shengjing smiled and said: "You say it!"
Hu Xiaotian said: "I'd like to trouble you, Your Majesty, to order someone to extinguish all the lights in the palace."
King Yan said: "Okay!"
Everyone present vaguely guessed that the treasure contained in the Hai Dasheng wooden box was most likely a luminous pearl, but even a luminous pearl may not be as valuable as the white jade Guanyin.
Hu Xiaotian placed the wooden box on the exhibition table in the center.
King Yan Xue Shengjing passed the order, and his men extinguished the lights in the Jubao Palace one by one. When the last light behind King Yan went out, the entire hall suddenly fell into darkness. After a short period of darkness, a figure appeared in the middle of the hall.
A ray of light.
As Hu Xiaotian opened the wooden box, the luminous pearl shone brightly, and the bright and soft light filled the entire palace in an instant. The only way to fill the palace with light in the shortest time was to use light.
Everyone at the scene was filled with exclamations of wonder. Most people had seen the luminous pearl, but no one had seen the luminous pearl the size of a goose egg. The value of a luminous pearl the size of a pigeon egg could be exchanged for a town, let alone such a huge one.
.
Xue Shengjing's gaze fixed on this luminous pearl suddenly became extremely hot. If he had concealed his desire for this luminous pearl when the white jade Guanyin appeared, he has no longer concealed his desire for this luminous pearl at all. It's just a pearl.
The night pearl is as bright as a star and can illuminate the entire palace. The value of such a treasure is simply immeasurable. r1152
