Vol 4 Chapter 7: Arty
"Huh—" Sanniang finally exhaled a puff of smoke, blinked in the smoke, and murmured: "In this world...are there really aliens?"
"Are you talking about aliens? Yes some of them have settled here and become gods believed by local ordinary people. Here..." Lian Youyou tapped the table, as if pointing on the vast land after Pangu created the world. "There are a lot of aliens living there, why, Sanniang, are you interested in aliens?" Lian Youyou put her face on one hand, smiled and looked at Sanniang's charming side face.
Sanniang smiled lightly, and raised her hand to grab a card: "It's very interesting to listen to Master Lian bragging every time. You are the only one who can brag so well that people think it's true" Sanniang grabbed a card card, and winked at Lian Youyou.
Lian Youyou raised her eyebrows, and raised the cards in front of her, yes, a good card: "Come and brag, you will be healthier both physically and mentally I suggest to you, it's better to live in the present, being a mortal is the best, I spent my whole life in a daze, without knowing that I have actually experienced the end of the world several times, but...sometimes we are also tired, and when we are tired..."
"Come down to brag about your vacation?" Yun Xi answered, with a relaxed smile on his face again.
Lian Youyou paused, raised her eyebrows, raised her eyes, her eyes were cold, three parts ruthless, seven parts numb: "Let this world be destroyed, and when I feel better, I will rebuild it again." Lian Youyou said , the corners of his lips raised, but the smile on his face lost all warmth, "Continue playing cards."
Sanniang inhaled the smoke in her mouth, and she understood that when He Wanqing accused the **** of being ruthless, Lian Youyou's reaction would be so cold and numb, it turned out that they were really ruthless. This ruthlessness is because they are too tired to guard this world, too tired, so tired... that they don't love.
Yunxi stared blankly at her mahjong tiles, what Lian Youyou said must be false, how could the world be so easy to destroy? It has been more than three thousand years since Pangu opened the sky...
However, Hei Yan said that Lian Youyou was a ten thousand year old woman, so what was the world like three thousand years ago?
Could it be... was it really wiped out once?
Thinking of this, Yunxi couldn't help shaking his eyes while watching mahjong. He felt his hands shaking, but he didn't understand what he was afraid of.
The temperature in the whole yard became a bit gloomy and cold. I don't know if it was the autumn wind that swept away the heat from the sun, or the insensitivity in Lian Youyou's eyes, which made people feel chilly.
On the busiest street in the capital, there is a Du antique shop. The owner of this antique shop is none other than Fu Mingsu. Those who often come in and out of the store are also dignitaries from the capital.
Those who play antiques in Qian Dynasty are really playing with antiques, not for money laundering, because gold and silver are used in Qian Dynasty, and they will not be as easy to be damaged as paper when placed there. gold and silver.
Therefore, playing with antiques is a real thing, especially popular in the upper class. Sometimes playing antiques is also to expand the circle of friends. Everyone around you plays it, and you are easily excluded if you don’t play it.
The dignitaries who play antiques often get together to show off their latest antiques. This antique shows their taste, status and class.
In ancient times, this antique party was more elegant than a brothel, and it was also more popular with people in the interest circle. Because at the moment of appreciating antiques, they are gentlemen. Not the undressed beast in the brothel.
On the outside, people are to be elegant, not beasts. Therefore, this dress has to be worn.
Fu Mingsu opened an antique shop called Yi Ting, which is a high-end antique shop. The things in the store are mainly calligraphy and painting, vases and jade. The tortoise shell of oracle bone inscriptions cannot be seen here.
Because the people who come in and out of here want to be forceful, and they want people to think that he is a refined person. What they want is another elegant and noble dress, not really going to archaeology.
[Ya Zang Xuan] is not just the appearance of the facade, it is the same as the name of the store, and there is a universe inside. Behind its facade is a large courtyard.
The courtyard is exquisite and elegant, with arched stone bridges, winding paths leading to secluded places, and water pavilions and terraces.
The colorful butterflies in the flower group are chasing and noisy, and the red carps are playing in the blue pool.
The starlings in the corridor learn to laugh, and the beauties in the house shake their fans.
Yayuan, Yalang, Yahua, Yaren.
Everywhere is elegant and meticulous.
Fu Mingsu spends most of his days here at [Ya Zang Xuan], because he complied with the arty characteristics of the people in the capital and became a scholar society, which is equivalent to the current Antique Appreciation Association.
Most of the dignitaries and dignitaries in the capital who play antiques gather in his [Ya Zang Xuan] to show off their antiques. In their view, antiques are not hidden by themselves, they have to be shown off to have the value of their existence
In order to cooperate with these people, Fu Mingsu also bought some beauties from the black market to wait here. When appreciating antiques, it is more elegant and tasteful to have beauties beside him.
At this time, Fu Mingrui's Yaxuan Pavilion was receiving some officials from central Beijing. One of them, coincidentally, was Wang Yi, Mr. Wang, who had just been transferred to Beijing.
Wang Yi made a contribution to the mountain demon incident, so he was transferred to the capital.
He investigated the mountain demon incident in Qinzhou in a timely manner, helped the righteousness, stopped the rumors, and stabilized the hearts of the people. Therefore, with a transfer order, he was transferred to the capital and became a doctor of the household department, a fifth grade.
The official rank was promoted from the fifth rank to the fifth rank from Zhizhou. It seems that there are not many promotions, but which official doesn't want to sharpen his head and go to the capital? The cracks in the capital are not so easy to drill.
From the point of view of power, it seems that a doctor in the household department does not have as much real power as a magistrate. Although Zhizhou is from the fifth grade, as the head of a state, he can be said to be the head of a local smuggler. He can erase a lot of things without anyone noticing it, so it's not up to the sky to listen.
But doctor? As many prefectures and provinces there were in the Qian Dynasty, there were as many doctors, each of whom was in charge of a household registration, and there were ministers and ministers on it, not the head of one.
However, this still couldn't stop Wang Yi's determination to go to the capital. Wang Yi's increase this time is different from Yu Chifeng's.
Yu Chifeng ascended openly and descended secretly, but Wang Yi ascended openly and secretly. why? Because he climbed onto the high branch of Fu Kun Zuoxiang behind Master Zhang Lidong.
The surrounding officials actually knew in their hearts that Wang Yi's upward adjustment was not at all because of investigating the mountain monster and stabilizing the hearts of the people. Shit!
Get promoted if you stop a rumor? Who are you kidding? This is just an excuse to cover up the real reason. The real reason is that Wang Yi, the third son of the old general Yuchi Gongshan: Yuchifeng, created Qinzhou, a fertile land, and made Qinzhou become Fu Kun's possession from now on!
Originally, Qinzhou could also be regarded as Fu Kun's. But with people from Yuchi's family around, they were always stuck in Qinzhou. It was inconvenient for Fu Kun to train his own people in Qinzhou, and it was even more inconvenient for Qinzhou's oil and water transportation. So to get rid of Yuchifeng, for Fu Kun, it was undoubtedly pulling out an unsightly thorn.
