Are you all after the heroine? I married that female devil
Chapter 208 Sharpening the Knife
"Chess? What kind of chess is that?"
"I heard people talking about it in the teahouse before. I heard that His Majesty invented a kind of chess, and now many nobles are playing it."
"His Majesty invented chess? Is it real or fake? Then can we play it?"
"have no idea..."
The chatter in the crowd grew louder. Many people heard about chess for the first time. It would be false if they were not curious. Especially when they heard that His Majesty the Emperor invented it, they became even more curious.
"I know chess. As the name suggests, it must be related to elephants." A young man in brocade clothes shook his folding fan and talked.
"What is an elephant?" someone next to him asked doubtfully.
"A kind of beast with a long nose, a large and ferocious body, common in Yunchuan, Baiyue and other places." The young man cast a disdainful look at the man, a bunch of bumpkins.
"How big does it mean if it's big?"
"It's about the same size as your house." The young man rolled his eyes.
"So big? Bigger than a giant insect? Wouldn't it be able to eat people alive?"
"terrible."
The people around couldn't help but exclaim, and the young man couldn't help but shake his head when he saw this. They were really a bunch of bumpkins.
"Then you still haven't said what this chess is?" someone asked weakly.
"Stupid, since it is related to elephants, this chess piece is naturally huge, as great as His Majesty."
The young man closed his fan and raised his head confidently.
"Xu~"
There were sighs one after another, and the people around you were not fools. You said it but didn't seem to say anything. Even after a long time, you didn't know why you were pretending to be a big-tailed wolf.
Just as the discussion was getting more intense, two huge boards were pushed onto the stage from nowhere. One board had densely packed words on it, and the other board had a complete chess board painted on it.
"A horse walks like a flying field..."
Youyuanren in the audience looked up at the words on the board and read it subconsciously.
"What does it mean?"
"Chess formula?"
When everyone was confused, another salute was fired.
This time, it was no longer petals flying in the air, but square pieces of paper the size of a palm.
On the front of the paper are written the chess formula and the origin of Shen Yi'an's compilation, while on the reverse side is a chess board.
Taking advantage of the beginning of a new round of discussion, Shen Tengfeng took the opportunity to go behind the stage to drink some water and take a brief rest.
"Thank you for your hard work, Your Highness."
Wan Huai handed over a handkerchief and spoke in a gentle tone.
Shen Tengfeng wiped the sweat from his forehead and said with emotion: "To be honest, I was almost nervous to death up there."
Normally, the items sold in a pawn shop are only one or two hundred taels of silver, no matter how expensive they are. But here, they can easily cost hundreds, thousands, or even tens of thousands. A single dazed effort can complete a sky-high price transaction, and every time it is repeated At those prices, if you listen carefully, his voice will tremble slightly.
This also made him more determined to work hard for money and strive to become rich people like his fourth brother and sixth brother as soon as possible and live a happy life in the future.
The main reason is that your sweetheart is watching your performance below, how can you not be nervous.
During the break, Shen Tengfeng took out the note Shen Yian had prepared for him in advance.
There are Yuan people in the audience who are not fools. They are all shrewd and calculating. If they find out that there are a large number of jade chess pieces, they may join forces to lower the price. To avoid this happening, Shen Yi'an has already made preparations.
After the discussion outside was almost over, Shen Tengfeng put on his mask again and appeared in everyone's sight.
In order to highlight the rarity and preciousness of jade chess pieces, Shen Tengfeng started telling a story based on the small note given by Shen Yian.
First of all, where did these jade stones come from, how rare they are, and then which famous carving masters were responsible for carving these chess pieces. The people in the audience were stunned for a while. They were so familiar with this routine.
In the private room, Shen Cangtian slapped his thigh and couldn't help laughing loudly. This old man was worse than he thought.
The jade stones used in these chess sets were scraps purchased from unknown sources. They were simply polished and then carved. The craftsmen responsible for the carvings were all ordinary craftsmen, and they had nothing to do with being famous.
However, the carving masters mentioned by Shen Tengfeng did indeed visit the carving site, but they only went through the scene and gave verbal instructions.
The cost of everything is almost kept to a minimum.
He just wants to applaud these extremely rich guys.
On the stage, Shen Tengfeng finished telling the story and started talking about the important differences between these jade chess pieces and ordinary chess pieces.
The first difference is that each jade chess set has a number, and each number makes this set of jade chess unique and original.
The second difference is that each set of jade chess is a blind box. The more auspicious the number, the more likely it is that a hidden model will be issued. Shen Tengfeng does not know what the hidden model looks like, but he knows that some small gifts included in the hidden model will be. What.
There are trinkets, small gold bars, crystal stones, etc. Of course, these are just small gifts. The real highlight is a few small notes with blessings written by His Majesty the Emperor or the Imperial Master.
"hiss!"
There was a gasp of air at the scene, and many people's eyes widened a bit. Is this okay? !
"Zhao Hai, is this what Lao Liu asked you to write that day?" Shen Cangtian looked at Zhao Hai and asked with a smile.
"Yes, sir..."
Zhao Hai smiled awkwardly, after all, you agreed, otherwise he would not dare to write.
"Did you also write the Wen Xuan copy?" Shen Cangtian continued to ask.
"Your Majesty, that was really not written by an old slave."
Zhao Hai quickly cleared the relationship.
"Ah."
Shen Cangtian took a deep look at Zhao Hai and then nodded. He believed in Zhao Hai, but how could the brat convince Wen Xuan?
Shoutian Pavilion.
Lu Wenxuan looked helplessly into the distance.
Those notes were naturally not written by him. After practicing to his level, these things will be tainted with some cause and effect.
So those notes were all written by Taoist boys.
Shen Yi'an's contribution was very simple. He paid for the repairs of Shoutian Pavilion.
In fact, as long as he wants to, Shen Cangtian will arrange it according to the procedure, but that is too troublesome, and he doesn't like trouble.
"It's so lively today, it's good to go out for a walk."
Putting down the tea cup, Lu Wenxuan slowly stood up. Walking in the mortal world is also a kind of practice.
When he walked out of Shoutian Pavilion, he met someone who surprised him.
"Your Majesty, are you going out?"
Facing the inquiry, Shen Lingxiu laughed: "Today is the Hundred Flowers Party, so naturally we have to go out and have fun."
He originally wanted to go out in the morning, but ended up oversleeping, getting up, putting on his clothes and make-up, and having lunch at this point. Fortunately, it was not too late.
Baihua Hui, Baihua Hui, beauties are like flowers. In addition to appreciating flowers, you should also appreciate beauties.
If there is fate in the world, he and her will definitely meet again today. He believes that his feelings are not wrong and that he is worthy of being so carefully dressed.
"The Imperial Master is also going out?" Shen Lingxiu asked curiously when he saw Lu Wenxuan was dressed so elegantly.
"Ah."
Lu Wenxuan nodded lightly.
"That's a coincidence. How about a companionship, Imperial Master?" Shen Lingxiu invited with a smile.
"Okay."
Lu Wenxuan did not refuse. It was more interesting for two people to hang out together than alone.
