Chapter 160 Jewelry Appraisal Expert
Yunfeng was also very happy to trade with Jiangdong with war horses. To be honest, he was never afraid of fighting cavalry. On the contrary, Jiangdong's infantry phalanx equipped with a huge number of crossbows gave him a headache. But even if he had to change,
He also had to bring back something useful, he really didn't need the tea stuff.
Historically, the Central Plains dynasties, including the Tang, Song, and Ming dynasties, made huge profits by trading tea with the northern nomads. Although Yunfeng's subordinates are not nomadic, in terms of production and lifestyle alone, they can be regarded as semi-farming and semi-nomadic. He is not
The small imperial court of the Eastern Jin Dynasty would be allowed to use useless things to earn real gold and silver from the people of Qin and Liang states. What's more, Hanzhong and Bashu are also suitable for growing tea, and they can produce and sell it themselves.
What Yunfeng needs is fine iron! Unlike the rotten iron used for cast iron, fine iron is more expensive than copper under the technical conditions at the time. It is an extremely important strategic material. However, Yunfeng does not know how to make steel in a small blast furnace.
There is no way to make technical improvements. He understands that Jiangdong will never trade with him easily for jingtong, especially when the opponent is Director Wang, an old fox! If you want to finally reach an agreement, you may have to go through a difficult negotiation process.
After Yunfeng and Wang Dao stopped, Sima Rui immediately announced the disbandment of the dynasty. Everyone could see that the puppet emperor of the Jin Dynasty was running out of time, and Sima Shao's accession to the throne was not far away.
Already.
After respectfully seeing off Sima Rui and Sima Shao, they left first. The officials also walked in small groups towards the outside of Benhao Palace, chatting and laughing in a relaxed and happy manner. At this time, Director Wang came over and said with a smile: "General Yun, Prime Minister Ding
In the evening three days later, I will hold a banquet at Wanghuai Tower to welcome you and wash away the dust. I hope you won't refuse."
"Oh?" Yun Feng's heart moved. This is good news. The war horse trade was often discussed during the banquet. It seems that Wang Dun wanted it quite urgently. He immediately nodded and said, "Since the Prime Minister has invited me, the general will
How dare you disobey? Please rest assured, Da Situ. I will just go to the appointment on time."
Director Wang said with satisfaction: "Okay, then I will go ahead and wait for General Yun at Wanghuai Tower!"
Yunfeng saluted and said: "Da Situ, please go slowly."
Director Wang also bowed his hands, flicked his sleeves, and walked away quickly. Yunfeng greeted Xun Song and left the imperial city, summoned his guards and rode towards his home.
The wall that was knocked down by Shen Chong during his attack the night before yesterday has been rebuilt, and the scorched blackness on the square in front of the temple has also been washed away. If you don't look carefully, you can't tell that a big battle has just happened.
Passing through the front yard, there is a faint, ethereal but distant and melodious flute sound scattered in the air with the wind, which makes people unconsciously resonate in their hearts. Yunfeng and Su Qizhen looked at each other in surprise, and the steps under their feet
They all sped up a bit.
From a distance, I saw Song Yu standing pretty in the center of the hall, wearing a moon-white dark coat and a half-dress with a light green smoke sarong skirt, and a light yellow Xiapei embroidered with cherry blossoms draped over his thin shoulders. He was tall.
The emerald eyebrows and crane bun are just right decorated with dots of pearls. It is fresh and elegant, and there is a bit of charming charm in the graceful grace!
Song Biao lightly held the handle of the flute with his bare hands, placed it horizontally to his mouth and played passionately. The sound of the flute was sometimes high-pitched and passionate, and sometimes echoed in the empty valley. The syllables were as continuous as the gurgling water, and as clear and cheerful as the spring stream.
The three masters and servants Zhang Lingyun and Zhuge Fei sitting around were affected by it, and they all looked intoxicated.
They were not aware of the unexpected arrival of Yun Feng and Su Qizhen at all. Birds crow in the dusk with resentment, flowers fall and people fall from the buildings. I was about to hear that everyone at Lvzhu is famous for their flute skills in the world, but unfortunately I was born at the wrong time and did not get to listen.
I can only sigh in vain, but today I am lucky enough to listen to the Song family's wife playing, and I feel that my life is not in vain, it is really wonderful!"
Song Ye's delicate body trembled fiercely, and he murmured a few words on his lips before saluting: "If the master could know the poems written by the general, he would definitely be regarded as a lifelong friend, but it's a pity..." He sighed quietly.
There was also a hint of sadness in his tone of voice and his beautiful face.
Zhang Lingyun stepped forward to hold Song Ye in distress, and said reproachfully: "Look, you made the Song family sister unhappy as soon as you came back! By the way, did anything happen in the court today?"
"Hehe" Yunfeng laughed dryly, and naturally stretched out his arms to let Xiaolan, who was slightly shy, help him remove his official uniform, and Xiaohui, who had a hint of joy in his eyebrows, helped him put on his home clothes.
Wearing casual clothes, he was telling the story of going to court at the same time, without any attempt to hide anything, and they were all brought out in a swarm.
After listening, Zhuge Fei said with concern: "General, there is no need to pay too much attention to the dispute in the court, but Wang Dun has invited you to a banquet. Although the possibility of harming you is not high, you have to be careful and bring more with you.
We have people lying around so that if something happens, we will have a response."
Zhang Lingyun also took over and said: "Sister Zhuge is right, but it is unexpected that Wang Dun needs war horses. The cavalry cannot be mounted and can go into battle. The Jingzhou army is all navy and infantry, and he does not want to fight with them."
Why do we need cavalry in the battle between Jie and Zhao in the north? Could it be that Wang Dun has some unexplored power in his hands?" As he spoke, he frowned and began to think hard.
Yunfeng smiled slightly and said: "Lingyun, just let him go. Although Wang Dun seems to have made some moves, it has nothing to do with us. Although I only have such a small number of troops, when it comes to cavalry fighting, he doesn't fear anyone. He
It would be a good thing if they attack us, as the horses they exchanged can be recovered again."
Zhang Lingyun thought about it, Yunfeng's flexible bow cavalry was indeed the nemesis of the cavalry, and her expression gradually softened.
Putting aside her worries, Zhang Lingyun raised her head again and said with a smile: "Song's sister just said that she would like to play a song with Yun Langyou if she had the chance. Why not do it now? You two, let's do the sum first. Let's do it now.
It’s good for the sisters to give me some advice.”
With a swipe of the brush, Song Biao's pretty face turned red to the root of her neck. She shook Zhang Lingyun's arm and said, "Sister, look at what you said, how can I have a sister?"
As Song Biao's body swayed slightly, the hairpins on his head were swaying slightly, and the rings on his body were also jingling, which was dazzling. Logically speaking, a woman wearing so many jewelry should be extremely vulgar.
, but Song Biao gives people a natural feeling. All the accessories, including clothes, just bring out her beauty, and they are obviously carefully selected.
This woman is a tasteful woman who knows how to live, how to dress herself, and how to deal with the upper class society. It is not an exaggeration to say that she is a social butterfly. In other words, if Song Yi was born in the 21st century, he would 100% become
A dazzling star in the fashion world!
Yunfeng thought secretly, and suddenly an idea came to his mind. Although Song Biao lowered her head, her helpless and pitiful look revealed the little secret deep in her heart.
Secretly swallowing a big mouthful of saliva, Yunfeng said with a smile: "Since Madam Song has invited me, how dare I refuse to obey? But please stay a moment, Madam Song. I have something to do for you." As he said that, he walked quickly.
Go to the back room.
After a while, Yunfeng walked out with a big baggage in front of the puzzled looks of the girls. He placed the baggage on several tables, opened it, and then fell down shaking his hands!
"Crash!" There was a crisp sound, and several tables were covered with a lot of gold beads and jewelry, sparkling and dazzling.
"Ah!" Except for Zhang Lingyun and Zhuge Fei who were indifferent, all the girls expressed their sincere admiration, and then their eyes were straight with stars in their eyes. Maybe one or two things can't turn them into such sluts, but
A large number of hundreds of items, a quantitative change directly led to a qualitative change!
Zhang Lingyun was influenced by Xun Guanniang and had a dull personality. These external things did not interest her, but Zhuge Fei was blind and could not see.
Yunfeng had already expected the reaction of these two women and was not surprised. However, the intoxicated looks of the two maids Song Yuan, Su Qizhen and Xiaolan Xiaohui made him secretly proud. There are not many women who don't like glitter.
something!
Zhang Lingyun asked in confusion: "Yunlang, what are you doing?"
Yunfeng smiled slightly and said: "Madam of the Song family is covered in pearls and emeralds. She must have some experience in carrying beads. My husband would like to ask her to help identify them." Then, he turned to Song Biao and asked: "Madam of the Song family, how do you do it?
Can you identify the jewelry on it? Do you know its value?"
Song Yingying saluted: "The general has an order, I would like to give it a try." After saying this, he and the other girls gathered around him.
Song Biao picked up a walking stick with his hand and squinted at the sunshine outside the house for a long time before gently opening his red lips and introducing it: "This butterfly-shaped walking stick is made of thin slices of gold for the bones and wings. The craftsmanship is exquisite and lifelike.
There are six rubies inlaid on each wing, arranged in an arc from small to large. From a distance, they look like real butterfly wings. The red rubies are as red as pigeon blood.
, completely transparent, with stars looming against the light source, it can be rated as top grade. If worn on the bun and swayed with the steps, the butterfly wings will also flap gently rhythmically, making it difficult to tell whether this is a step.
Or are they beautiful butterflies attracted by the fragrance? In terms of value alone, this set of 12 rubies alone is worth more than a thousand gold, and they are priceless but not marketable!"
After saying that, Song Biao reluctantly put down the Bu Yao, picked up another hairpin and introduced: "Although this hairpin is small in shape, in terms of value and beauty, it is no less than the Bu Yao just now. The whole body is made of ivory.
The top is carved into a lotus that is about to bloom. The shape is lifelike and the petals are warm. It must be
It was made by a famous artist. What is particularly valuable is that a bean-sized emerald is set in the lotus heart. Its color is soft and rich, which is pleasing to the eye. This lotus hairpin is pregnant with lotus seeds in bloom. It was created by a married woman.
It is most appropriate to wear it. According to me, the general should give this hairpin to Sister Lingyun."
Even with Zhang Lingyun's innocent heart, she was moved by Song Biao's witty words, and her beautiful eyes couldn't help but look at Yunfeng.
Yun Feng took the lotus hairpin from Song Biao at the right time, and said with a smile: "Lingyun, the Song family's wife is right, come, let your husband take it for you, and you will have more fat boys in the future!"
Zhang Lingyun's pretty face turned slightly red, and she said angrily: "Go, look at what you said!" Although he was reluctant, he lowered his head slightly, and his joy was beyond words.
Yunfeng went around behind Zhang Lingyun, pulled out the original ordinary hairpin, and carefully inserted this lotus hairpin!
Chapter completed!
