Da Song Private Investigator

Chapter 393 Crystal Inkstone.

Tang Fengzhai's servants were still busy, as if they hadn't noticed that their young master was being questioned or even suspected.

Bao Zheng thought for a while, then continued to ask: "I heard that you have been pursuing Lin Xian'er, Miss Lin's family, but Lin Shan disagrees, is that true?"

Tang Wanli was a little embarrassed, and nodded after a long time: "Yes, Lin Xian'er is the most touching woman I have ever met. I like her and want to marry him."

Tang Wanli said these words very directly, as if he didn't consider the danger he would face after saying these words.

If he loves Lin Xian'er very much, but Lin Shan disagrees, then he is very suspected of killing Lin Shan.

After Tang Wanli said those words, before Bao Zheng and Hua Lang asked, he asked again: "Do you want to know how I met Lin Xian'er?"

Hwarang has never been interested in such stories of unrequited love, but if he can hear something from it, Hwarang will still listen patiently, so they nodded.

Tang Wanli smiled lightly at the corner of his mouth, then thought about it, and then said: "It was an inkstone competition a year ago, and this competition was not held to serve shops like us that sell inkstones. It is to serve those folk carving inkstone masters and give them a chance to show their inkstones. If we merchants meet a good engraver or a good inkstone, we will bid to buy it. Of course, whoever bids the most Whoever buys it."

Bao Zheng and the others didn't understand these things when they first came here, but now that Tang Wanli finished speaking, they understood somewhat, so they continued to listen.

"It was early autumn that day, and the competition venue was in a maple forest. When the wind blows, fiery red maple leaves fall. This scene is a scene that literati and inkmen love very much. The masters came out one after another. There were many good inkstones and masters who carved inkstones that year. We Tang Fengzhai and their Moyanzhai were two masters who competed for inkstones and inkstone masters. After such a fierce competition, we finally carried the inkstone on the same inkstone. up."

What Tang Wanli said, Hwarang and Bao Zheng could almost think of it, and even besides thinking about it, they also thought that if they had the opportunity, they would also go to the inkstone competition.

Afterwards, Tang Wanli continued: "Because we are all in Duanzhou, the comparison is naturally with Duan inkstone. Duan inkstone is light in weight, firm but soft in texture, lonely and soft to the touch, soft and tender like a child's skin when pressed. It is not slippery and has always been loved by people, but the last inkstone is by no means a Duan inkstone. The purple color of the inkstone is amazing when it shines, and the carvings and stone materials are extremely rare. Ink, even if it is used for appreciation, is extremely valuable, so in the end, Tang Fengzhai and Namo Yanzhai shouted prices all over the sky."

After hearing Tang Wanli's words, everyone didn't know what kind of inkstone it was, but Hwarang had knowledge beyond them, so he tried his best to think about it, and he still thought of it, so he asked: "Is the inkstone purple? , but the material of the crystal stone?"

Tang Wanli was a little surprised when he heard Hua Lang's words, and said: "Master Hua is really well-informed, yes, it is indeed a crystal stone, and we only found out later that it is a crystal inkstone, which is rarely seen in ordinary places, and It is extremely difficult to carve, I never thought that Mr. Hua would be able to know what kind of inkstone it is just by listening to my description, I admire it."

At this time, Hua Wan'er smiled and said: "My elder brother is a scholar, so he naturally knows inkstone."

Tang Wanli said some more compliments, and then continued: "Because we saw such a beautiful inkstone for the first time, the asking price was very high, so high that when we think about it later, we both think it's unbelievable. At this time, our two families suddenly realized a problem, for such an inkstone, if we fight back and forth like this, I am afraid that we will only lose in the end, right?"

Tang Wanli smiled awkwardly when he said this, and then said: "Please don't be offended, although we Tang Fengzhai and that Moyanzhai are enemies, but if we fight so badly, we are really not so stupid That level, so when our two families realized this problem, they thought about giving up the inkstone, but after the inkstone was given out, the price was too high. If we really bought it, it would be too much to bear, but If the price is lowered, it will also affect our two shops, so for a while, neither of us know what to do."

Now only from Tang Wanli's narration, Bao Zheng, Hua Lang and the others can also hear how intense the situation was and how embarrassing it was.

But at this time, Tang Wanli suddenly smiled, and said: "But at this moment, Lin Xian'er stepped forward, standing in the maple leaf dance, like a fairy who fell into the mortal world, and just now When I was amazed at her beauty, she actually raised the price of the inkstone a lot, the price was unimaginable."

When Tang Wanli said this, he still had a smile on his face, and the listeners were a little surprised. Didn't they say that the price was already too high for them to accept? But at this time, why did Lin Xianer continue to raise the price? high?

This is somewhat incomprehensible, Bao Zheng, Yin Wucuo and the others frowned, but Hua Lang remained calm and listened.

"After I heard Lin Xian'er said another price, I really wanted to stop here. In this way, their Moyanzhai paid a lot of money to buy this crystal inkstone, and it was their Moyanzhai who couldn't bear it, not us Tang Fengzhai. , but for a woman like her, if she really asked her to pay for it, it would be a bit embarrassing for her. At that time, I seemed to suddenly understand what she meant, so I also stood up and bargained. The price was raised, and everyone present was shocked by the high price, but we didn't mean to stop."

Bao Zheng and the others were almost stunned by what they heard, but at this time, Tang Wanli was still saying: "The scene at that time had reached a fever pitch, and at this moment, Lin Xian'er suddenly said angrily, since everyone If no one is willing to give up the inkstone, then no one will buy it. I naturally understand such a step, so I said angrily, well, since no one will give it up, then no one will buy it. In this way, both of us No one bought that crystal inkstone, and it also saved the face of our two shops."

After hearing this, Bao Zheng and the others suddenly realized that this trick was really bad, and they even thought of the expression on the face of the owner of the inkstone when it suddenly fell from the sky and fell to the ground.
