MTL - Tomb Robbery: Starting From the Classic of Mountains and Seas-Chapter 10
When there are too many people in the team, supplies will be needed. So Ye Chen went to most of the towns on the way,
Officials who got the news paid homage to the unparalleled Lord Ye.
With the reputation of killing the first warrior of the Qing Dynasty with his own hands, Ye Chen's name has spread all over the country along with his deeds.
Some good people even found all kinds of true and false news about "Five Tigers a Day" before him.
In the current Tianjin Hutongs, three out of every five storytellers who talk about cross talk are talking about Ye Chen's story!
Ye Chen, who just heard about this, also felt hot. After that, I will also be a character in the storybook.
It was already the end of the year when I returned to the capital.
The huge Hou's mansion made the parents overjoyed, and they got to know the maids and servants. Ye Chen asked Eunuch Li to find them in private visits.
It's all caused by the young ladies of some rich families being implicated by their families. He is proficient in all kinds of piano, chess, calligraphy and painting tools.
Xiaocui was mentioned by her parents as a maid to manage these people. Meeting these for the first time made Xiao Cui flustered
Because he is an idle lord, in addition to teasing these maids and Xiaocui, he usually goes out to visit friends and drink flowers and wine.
According to what Ye Chen said, I have traveled through time and worked hard for so long, can't I still enjoy it?
"My lord, here is your invitation card!" said the butler
That day, Ye Chen was teaching his parents to practice in the courtyard, when he suddenly heard the butler come quickly to report.
"Is someone inviting me? I just came to the capital. Could it be Commander Zhao of the Eight Banners of the Han Dynasty?"
Commander Zhao is a commander of the Beijing camp of the Eight Banners of the Han Dynasty. The 500 guards that Ye Chen received from him at the beginning,
The first meeting between the two was not pleasant, and Commander Zhao learned that the person who came was Ye Jue who killed Obai.
I also want to try how much Ye Chen weighs. Never thought that being defeated by Ye Chen with one move, the two of them could be regarded as friendship without a fight.
In the past few days, Commander Zhao brought several other commanders of the Eight Banners of the Han Dynasty to come to Ye Chen for a drink.
With Lao Zhao's personality as a martial artist, he wouldn't post a post in advance if he came to drink with him.
"My lord, this is an invitation from the West Crescent Hotel in Beijing," the butler added.
"What? Crescent Hotel? Old Zhang, you are a native of the capital, please introduce this Crescent Hotel to me" Ye Chen said in surprise
Ye Chen thought. Crescent Hotel? Let's hope it's not the one I thought, otherwise it would be interesting.
"The Crescent Hotel only came to the capital two years ago. I heard from the gossip that the shopkeeper Yin, the owner, started from the south. At first, the business was tepid.
I don't know where the connections came from, I can often get some treasures to be auctioned in the store, and at the same time invite some dignitaries to bid.
The restaurant business is booming. "
When Ye Chen heard the housekeeper say this, he confirmed his thoughts. If this is the case, the world will be more interesting.
Then the Zhang family also exists, the tombs I have seen in the previous life, including the bronze gate!
Ye Chen was very excited at the moment, he hadn't paid attention to the rumors about Xiling that he had heard from Uncle Chen before.
Now even the Crescent Hotel has another "Ghost Blowing"
It seems that it is not so unacceptable.
I took the invitation from the housekeeper and looked at the date, and found that the date is tonight
At the beginning of the Chinese lanterns, the west of the capital city.
Since ancient times, there has been a saying that the east is rich and the west is rich, and the south is poor and the north is cheap, and this huge capital is no exception.
Ye Chen was riding a horse as usual today, with around 10 guards behind him.
With Ye Chen's current level, he is qualified to sit in a sedan chair, but he doesn't like it. A man must ride a horse to be handsome.
Along the way, the night market is very lively, and the colorful lights are held by the shops on the shelves at the door.
Various food stalls. A long dragon is formed from the corridor from east to west.
The common people and nobles came and went, shoulder to shoulder, and the continuous stream was accompanied by all kinds of cries.
Ye Chen was in a trance for a moment, as if he had returned to modern times.
There are guards clearing the way, but there is no trouble.
Looking at the four-story building of the Crescent Hotel, the lights are bright, and there are 5-6 young men at the door who are going out to welcome the distinguished guests.
"This lord looks strange. Today is the auction day of our New Moon Hotel. If you have no status, please come back tomorrow. We won't pick up guests tonight." A younger servant said proudly to Ye Chen
Ye Chen is about to start putting it on, and the judges don't give me some flowers and monthly tickets!
Bookmark and comment a lot, the author is here to thank everyone! .
020 face treasure?
Ye Chen gestured to the guard beside him.
"Here, what are you! This is the current Lord Ye, can you bear the delay?"
The soldier drew his sword and pushed the boy away and said
"My lord is a little blind, I don't know the honor, please come in!"
When the older boy at the side saw that the person in front of him was Lord Ye, he hurriedly apologized. Whispered to the young servant next to him,
Seeing the young servant looking at Ye Chen in horror, he quickly knelt down in front of him and kowtowed non-stop.
"It's the little one who has no eyes, no eyesight. I offended the nobleman, please forgive me, my lord!"
Ye Chen got off his horse and said, "Forget it, those who don't know are innocent. Make those tricks more obvious in the future."
The situation here is also seen by other people who are preparing to enter the store
"Ziying, do you know that lord? He is so handsome and majestic!"
"Baoyu, didn't you hear what the soldier said? This is Lord Ye, how many Lord Ye can there be?" Feng Ziying said to Baoyu
Ye Chen, who was about to move, paused for a moment, but when he looked at it from the corner of his eye, his face was round and big. That's right.
("Dream of Red Mansions" is the real story written by Cao Xueqin based on his own family. The prototype is what happened in Cao's family during the Kangxi period. Here, the author made a magic modification. In order to increase the sense of substitution, he replaced it with the characters of the Red Mansion)
Ye Chen's eyes stayed on Baoyu for a while, then he walked quickly into the Crescent Hotel
The interior decoration is very particular. There are about 30 tables on the first floor, and there are screens between each table.
The second floor is a private room, and the third floor is a suite that only princes and nobles are eligible to enter. The fourth floor is where the auction items are stored
The location marked on the invitation that Ye Chen received was in the suite on the third floor, leaving four guards at the door of the suite, Ye Chen took the rest of the people in.
"Wow! The Crescent Hotel is really well-deserved. Where are Ziying and us?" Baoyu said bluffing
"Our place is in the private room on the second floor. The people who come tonight are either rich or noble. Baoyu, Brother Xue, you should pay attention." Feng Ziying said to the two people beside her
Today was Xue Pan's birthday, and it happened that Feng Tang, Feng Ziying's father, received an invitation from the Crescent Hotel.
It just so happened that his father couldn't come today due to his busy schedule.
So Feng Ziying brought them here, and everyone went upstairs to the private room.
The interior decoration and furniture are all made of nanmu, and there is a table and four chairs in the middle
Xue Pan, with a wide body and a fat buttocks, sat on the lonely seat on the right, and after Baoyu and Feng Ziying took their seats,
The maid outside the house served two or three plates of fruit cakes and snacks, and was surprised to see Xue Pan's location.
But they were just servants and didn't talk too much.
"It's so lively here, there will be something good later. I want to buy them all." Xue Pan bit an apple and muttered
Seeing Xue Pan like this, Baoyu and the others laughed and said nothing.
Obviously everyone knows that Xue Pan's family is an imperial merchant. Although they are a little bit down now, but when it comes to money, there is still no shortage of money!
With Ye Chen's hearing ability now, there is no sound in the whole Crescent Hotel that he can't hear.
So he could hear the conversation between Xue Pan and Baoyu clearly.
After a cup of tea, Ye Chen saw through the screen that all the seats on the first floor were filled.
"Boom!"
When the bell rang, I saw a boy on the high platform in the middle of the first floor ringing the bronze bell.
A very **** woman in the audience walked up to the stage. Sexy red lips, cool clothes and a good face instantly attracted all the attention,
Don't you know that Jia Baoyu and Xue Pan's saliva is all down.
Xue Pan shouted boldly, "Is this the first lot, it really is the best!"
The sound was so loud that the entire Crescent Hotel could hear it, and the people below believed it. discussed
"Hehe, the young master is really good at joking, the maidservant's name is Hua'er, and she is the host of this auction."
Hua'er was not angry when she saw everyone discussing herself, so she introduced herself.
"All the items in this auction have been inspected by special personnel and scholars, and are guaranteed to be authentic by the reputation of the Crescent Hotel."
"Everyone be quiet, let's start the auction for the first item," Hua'er said loudly
"The first lot is a painting by Tang Bohu from the previous dynasty, "Pine Songs on a Mountain Road", with a reserve price of 1,000 taels of silver.
Each bid shall not be less than 100 taels"
At this moment, the people below suddenly called out, "Someone has lit a sky lantern."
Even Hua'er looked at the man in surprise. After all, this is still the first lot. Is this going to be booked out?
At this moment, outside Baoyu's private room on the second floor, the servant girl picked up a lantern with a bamboo pole and hung it up.
Please collect it, thank you everyone! .
021 Xue is a fool!
Because Xue Pan and the others were frolicking in the house, they couldn't see the lanterns hanging in their private room because of the angle of view.
"What does lighting up the sky lantern mean? Ziying, do you know?" Baoyu asked with a puzzled look on his face
"It's similar to the meaning of the first auction," Feng Ziying said uncertainly.
"Are you so rampant? Even more arrogant than me, there are still people who reserve the lot for the first lot. Isn't this a big fool?"
Xue Pan laughed loudly
Ye Chen, who was on the third floor, also sprayed out a sip of tea when he heard it
"My lord, is there someone who poisoned the tea and murdered my lord?" the guard next to him said nervously.
Others also drew their knives. Seeing this, Ye Chen waved his hand, and everyone relaxed.
Xue Pan, Xue Pan, aren't you a big fool? Ye Chen thinks
..
"Okay, the bid for the first lot has already reached 7000 taels, is there a higher one?" Hua'er continued to ask
After a complete silence.
"Okay, let's congratulate the guests in the private room on the second floor for getting Tang Bohu's "Mountain Road Pine Sound Picture""
"Now let's start the second lot, an authentic manuscript of Emperor Huizong of the Song Dynasty. The base price is 1,500 taels, and the price increase is not less than 100 taels each time."
"What? His sky lantern on the second floor is still on!"
The guests in the private rooms on the second and third floors couldn't stay anymore, and went out to look around, and some sent servants out to inquire.
Seeing this scene, Xue Pan and the others couldn't sit still any longer, and went out one after another to see who the second idiot was
After Feng Ziying and Baoyu went out, they all stood there, Xue Pan became even more anxious.
At this moment, he is like Sun Hou Zi, who saw the Peach Garden and couldn't bear it any longer.
"Move, the distance between the screen and the door is so wide, you can't get out if you block me!
See which idiot lit the lamp? " Xue Pan said loudly
After Xue Pan squeezed forward and squeezed, he finally appeared at the door...
He looked up and looked around, looked and looked, but didn't find where the idiot was
