Zhang Yong's treasure appraisal conference, from the name alone, seemed to invite a large group of people to eat and drink, and look at the treasures he collected, that's all. But in fact, the mystery of this treasure appraisal conference is not like this.

There were not many people in the court who were qualified to attend the Zhang Yong treasure appraisal conference. They were not high-ranking officials of the third and fifth ranks, but they must be people who worked in confidential departments among the six ministries and five temples, and held real power in their hands. These people may not be eye-catching, but if they really joined forces to do something, they may be more efficient and faster than the six ministries and five temples.

After accepting Zhang Yong's invitation, these people have two choices, one is to go, and the other is not to go. Those who go mean that they do not reject Zhang Yong, and those who don't go indicate that they are unwilling to be too close to him, Zhang Yong, so Zhang Yong will find a way to deal with him well.

After coming to Zhang Yong's treasure appraisal conference, Zhang Yonghui showed many treasures. The attractive places of his treasure appraisal conference came out at this time, and those treasures were true and false. If you judged that it was true, said the history, and guessed it correctly, then Zhang Yong would give you the treasure. No matter whether the treasure was priceless or rare in the world, he would never be stingy. Accepting Zhang Yong's treasure was equivalent to agreeing to join Zhang Yong's camp. This is the ultimate significance of Zhang Yong's treasure appraisal conference, cultivating party members and delegating parties.

Someone once said that successful people have one common characteristic, that is, they are all very punctual. I don’t know if this sentence is true, but at least in Jiang Xia’s opinion, Zhang Yong is still quite punctual. As soon as the sound of the update sounded, Jiang Xia walked out of Xiaoyao Villa, he saw a carriage coming towards this side.

"Damn, such a carriage may have to be of the level of Mercedes-Benz and BMW in later generations?" Jiang Xia sighed.

The carriage uses two solid colored maroon high-headed horses to pull the cart, and the carriage is much larger than the usual carriage. The curtain used in front of the carriage is the top silk from Hangzhou. If Jiang Xia guessed it correctly, it should be Suzhou embroidery, and it is a fine product among Suzhou embroidery.

The carriage stopped in front of Jiang Xia, and a faint fragrance poured into Jiang Xia's nose. Jiang Xia looked at the carriage strangely. The carriage was obviously made of pear blossom trees, and the pattern of the fairy beasts on the body of the carriage was obviously from the hands of famous masters. But is this faint fragrance? Jiang Xia's eyes narrowed, and there were two purple clay tubes next to the curtain of the carriage, and there were a little smoke in the tube. Jiang Xia immediately understood that the fragrance was the fragrance of agarwood.

And it is the best agarwood with one or two agarwood and three taels of gold.

Jiang Xia was shocked. He couldn't figure out why Zhang Yong, a small sergeant, was so rich? He could hold a treasure appraisal conference, own such a luxurious carriage, and waste the best agarwood... Since he was so rich, why was he willing to be Zhu Shou's sergeant?

The person driving the carriage was an old man in his fifties and sixties. The old man was wearing a blue cloth robbed and holding a horse whip in his hand. When he arrived in front of Jiangxia, the old man jumped out of the carriage, clasped his fists and bowed to Jiangxia and said, "I guess this is Young Master Jiang. The villain came to pick up Young Master Jiang through the mansion at the order of the master."

Seeing Jiang Xia looking at the carriage, the old man smiled and said, "Maybe Mr. Jiang is not very familiar with the background of the Zhu family and my master. The Zhu family is a famous wealthy family in the Ming Dynasty. Even in this capital, the Zhu family is the best family. My master has worked in the Zhu family for many years. He has been promoted by the master and has also done some business with him, so his family is quite wealthy. However, the master is grateful to the master for being kind to him, so he has always followed Master Zhu Shou and seriously assisted him in controlling the Zhu family's huge industry."

After hearing the old man's words, Jiang Xia nodded. Although he still had many questions in his heart, he thought that was Zhang Yong's own business and had nothing to do with him, so he didn't need to do it so clearly.

"Young Master Jiang, it's still early. Master is still waiting at home. Why don't we get on the bus first?"

When the old man said this, Jiang Xia nodded immediately: "Then I'll be unwilling to do my best." After that, Jiang Xia got on the carriage.

The carriage was rushing all the way, and Jiang Xia sat in the carriage and closed her eyes to rest. Perhaps it was because Zhang Yong's house was not far from Xiaoyao Villa, so Jiang Xia felt that the carriage stopped shortly afterwards. The old man's voice came in from outside the curtain: "Young Master Jiang, we are here."

"Thank you uncle." Jiang Xia came out of the carriage and jumped out of the carriage.

After standing firmly, Jiang Xia looked up and saw that the Zhang Mansion was in front of him.

Zhang Yong was a eunuch in the palace. Although he had the tacit approval from Zhu Houzhao, he could buy a house outside the palace for self-use, but this was a taboo after all, so his house was not large in size.

Of course, the so-called small size is just relative. For ordinary people, Zhang Yong's house can be called a large luxury house.

There are two large stone lions at the entrance of Zhang Mansion. Behind the lion is a row of stone steps, about nine platforms. Above the steps is a flat dam, and behind the flat dam is a painted red door. At this moment, the door is wide open. As soon as Jiang Xia got off the carriage, he saw Zhang Yong looking at the door.

"Brother Jiang!"

"Brother Zhang!"

Zhang Yong had sharp eyes. He saw Jiang Xia as soon as he got off the carriage, so he immediately shouted. When Jiang Xia saw that it was Zhang Yong, he also warmly greeted him. Zhang Yong crossed the threshold and Jiang Xia walked up the steps. The two approached each other and pressed their shoulders. Looking at this posture, if they were not clear, they would think how deep the relationship between the two was really. Only the two of them knew how disgusting they were about their stinginess. But there was no way. People had to learn to act in this world and constantly perform different roles in various environments.

Zhang Yong patted Jiang Xia on the shoulder and said, "Oh, Brother Jiang, I've been waiting for you. All the others have arrived, just wait for you. Once you come, our treasure appraisal conference will officially begin."

"Oh, I'm really sorry for Brother Zhang to wait for Jiang Xia for a long time. Jiang Xia, He De, can take responsibility for Brother Zhang's waiting so much. It's so shameless." Jiang Xia said with a smile.

Zhang Yong took Jiang Xia's hand and said, "Okay, don't be polite between us brothers. Come into the house with brother Wei. If we come today, we must have fun before leaving."

When Zhang Yong held his hand, Jiang Xia felt a little uncomfortable all over. He had a strong impulse in his heart, which was to kick Zhang Yong out with one kick and then scream: "Die Glass, get out of here!"

After enduring that he was pulled to the courtyard by Zhang Yong, Jiang Xia finally found a chance to break free from Zhang Yong's clutches.

As Zhang Yong said, the eight tables were already full of people. Eight people sat on each table, which totaled 64 people. In order to conceal Zhu Houzhao's identity, Zhang Yong had already told the officials in the yard not to expose his identity and his identity in the morning. In order to explain the reasons, Zhang Yong more or less revealed the relationship between Jiang Xia and Zhu Houzhao to everyone.

Hearing that Jiang Xia was actually the emperor's friend, everyone wanted to see him. At this moment, Jiang Xia came in with Zhang Yong, and Zhang Yong immediately introduced Jiang Xia to everyone. As soon as the introduction was finished, the people on the seat immediately stood up and greeted Jiang Xia in a word. For various reasons, the greetings were mixed with a lot of flattery. "Hello, Mr. Jiang is really a handsome and elegant person." "Mr. Jiang is really..."

Jiang Xia didn't know how to respond to these greetings for a while, so she could only smile and clasp her fists to everyone and keep saying, "You're welcome, you're too much."

Seeing that everyone knew each other, Zhang Yong immediately coughed twice and said, "Everyone, everyone here is my distinguished guests of Zhang Yong. I, Zhang Yong, have nothing to prepare. I just hope that everyone can have fun and have fun here. This treasure appraisal conference is the same as in previous years. Let's eat, drink and enjoy the singer's performance first, and then start watching the baby. The authenticity of the baby depends on everyone's own eyesight. As long as you guess the origin and authenticity of the baby, you can choose to take it away by the baby, or you can choose to sell the baby to me at the market price."

"This rule..." Jiang Xia was not interested in this treasure appraisal conference, but when he heard Zhang Yong talk about the rules of the treasure appraisal conference, his eyes immediately shone. "Is there such a good thing?"

Jiang Xia clapped hard and shouted: "Okay! I like the rewards the most."

Because Jiang Xia was the only one applauding in the audience, it seemed a little weird. Jiang Xia pounded twice and stopped and looked at everyone. As soon as everyone touched Jiang Xia's gaze, they immediately reacted, and everyone present applauded and shouted loudly.

Zhang Yong then announced the start of the treasure appraisal conference.

More than 20 beautiful maids started to serve wine and food one after another. After the wine and food were served, everyone started to eat and drink. When they were about to finish, a group of singing and dancing came up.

Originally, Jiang Xia wanted to enjoy the singers of the Ming Dynasty, but she didn't expect that these singers were dressed tightly and did not reveal any spring light, so Jiang Xia suddenly lost interest. After the singers finished the performance, they sat down at each table, poured wine for the guests, and played with them. The guests were not polite, and while drinking the wine fed by the singers, they touched the singers restlessly.

The treasure began to be pushed up, and the first treasure was a ceramic lamp. The lamp was blue glaze all over and had a very beautiful shape. However, the people present did not seem to be too fond of this lamp. After all, no matter how beautiful it was, it was just a ceramic lamp, which was not worth a few silver.

But this thing looked different to Jiang Xia. He almost only glanced at it and screamed out loud: "Is this... a blue glaze lamp?"
