Resourceful beauty

Chapter 70 Treasure Pavilion

"Miss, these are sent by the eldest lady. They are all high-quality leather. The eldest lady said, you can make some thick furs or warm jackets, which are easy to wear during the Chinese New Year. They are suitable for dressing up beautifully."

In the capital city in November, it was already a bit chilly. In the afternoon, Xiangju sent two boxes of leather bags and told Fang Ruxuan what Bai Shi wanted.

Fang Ruxuan was very moved when she looked at the white fox fur without a trace of hair, the silver squirrel fur with a touch of silver, and the red fox fur that was flamboyant. Tell my grandma, I like it very much, after a few days it will be ready, I will wear it back and show her.”

Xiangju responded with a smile, drank a cup of tea, hurriedly got up and went back.

Fang Ruxuan instructed Ding Xiang: "Send the red fox skin to the second sister, send the squirrel skin to the fourth sister, and put the rest away."

"Miss……"

Ding Xiang and Su Ye called out in unison. Obviously, they are not in favor of giving away such a good thing.

Fang Ruxuan said with a smile: "It was meant to be given to them, but my grandmother borrowed my hand to let them accept my love."

Thinking about it carefully, what Fang Ruxuan said was also true. Although Ding Xiang and Su Ye were reluctant, they still obeyed Fang Ruxuan's wishes and sent the two leathers to Fang Ruyu and Fang Ruhua.

In Lishui Pavilion, seeing the red fox fur that was as gorgeous as a burning cloud on the summer sky, Fang Ruyu felt quite uncomfortable: Miao is her real grandmother, but she has never given herself such a beautiful piece of fur after returning to Beijing for a year. Good stuff to wait for.

"Go, find out who else Six Sister gave it to?"

Fang Ruyu told the maid in the room.

Knowing that in addition to getting this red fox fur, Fang Ruhua got a gray mouse skin, Fang Ruyu twitched the corners of her lips, "She's pretty smart."

But when she looked back and saw the completed red wedding dress on the embroidered rack, Fang Ruyu couldn't be happier again.

So what if Fang Ruhua was inferior to herself in every way?But now, she is already the quasi-prince concubine, and as for me, I don't care what I want.

Fang Ruyu suddenly lost confidence.

Seeing Fang Ruyu sitting back on the warm couch, looking down at the red charcoal fire in the charcoal basin at her feet in a daze, Lan Zhi stepped forward and softly persuaded: "Miss, the one who loves you the most in this world is the princess, the son-in-law chosen by the princess, There is absolutely nothing wrong. Wulingbo's mansion is a military family, and there are so many people in the mansion. The princess did not want to let the young lady marry in the past and be wronged, so she chose this marriage. The princess has good intentions, and you should be considerate. yes."

"Mother is for my own good, of course I know..."

Talking faintly, Fang Ruyu waved her hand to signal Lan Zhi to step back, and just lay down on the warm couch with all her clothes on, her eyes looking at the illusory distance, and she didn't know what she was thinking.

In the afternoon, Fang Ruxuan received a post from outside.

The post was sent directly to Shu Yuxuan by the hand of the old housekeeper, so Su Yuan didn't know about it. When Fang Ruxuan saw it, she was stunned for a while.

The post was sent by a shop named "Treasure Pavilion" in the capital, inviting Young Master Fang to come and sign it with the owner of the Treasure Pavilion.

"Zangbao Pavilion, Jubaozhai... the name sounds like an antique shop, but when did such an antique shop exist in the capital, why don't I know? Have you heard of it?"

Fang Ruxuan looked at the invitation and asked Ding Xiang and Su Ye.

Both of them shook their heads, and Ding Xiang asked speculatively, "Miss, could it be opened by the young master's friend?"

The one who invited was Young Master Fang, and the invitation was sent to Shu Yuxuan, Fang Zhengjun was probably invited.

Thinking so, Fang Ruxuan nodded suspiciously, and casually threw the invitation aside.

However, when the day came, Fang Ruxuan still disguised herself as a man and went to Zangbao Pavilion.

Zangbao Pavilion is located on the East Avenue of the capital, with a solemn front and bright windows, perhaps because it has just opened, the street outside the gate is covered with a thick layer of firecracker dander, and there is still a faint smell in the air.

Outside the gate, the shopkeeper in a brand new robe was smiling all over his face. There was an endless stream of guests, and he could be called by his name, which showed that he was an acquaintance in the capital.

In front of the store opposite the Treasure Pavilion, a man with gloomy face and bags under his eyes watched quietly, his thin, triangular face became more and more obscure due to the lingering smoke.

"That belongs to the shopkeeper of Jubaozhai..."

Kapok whispered in Fang Ruxuan's ear.

This can't be blamed on the displeasure of the shopkeeper. The location is chosen directly opposite, which happens to be an antique shop. Isn't this a provocation?
While Fang Ruxuan was thinking to herself, she heard the shopkeeper of Zangbao Pavilion come forward to say hello: "Master Fang, you are here, the Moxiang Pavilion on the third floor is reserved for you, please."

This time, Fang Ruxuan was even more surprised.

But in front of him, the shopkeeper was smiling, and his eyes were full of respect and sincerity. It didn't look like a joke at all. Fang Ruxuan came back to her senses, said "good business", and went upstairs with kapok.

Zangbao Pavilion is a small three-story building. The hall on the first floor occupies a large area, but it is full of people at the moment.

There are long tables on three sides of the wall, behind the tables are all red sandalwood armchairs, and in the center of the hall is a red sandalwood table of more than ten feet. Covered, it makes people think.

However, since it is an antique shop, it seems that they are all antiques, and they will not be displayed until all the guests arrive.

Standing in front of the private room, looking at the situation inside and outside the building, savoring the mysterious and high-profile handwriting, Fang Ruxuan suddenly felt that she seemed to know who was behind the scenes.

She walked back to the private room and sat in peace of mind. Fang Ruxuan didn't get up until around noon when the outside suddenly became quiet. Then she got up and went out again.

The firecrackers rang outside the door for a long time, and after the silence subsided, the anecdote standing on the high platform in the hall raised his voice and said: "The Treasure Pavilion is open today, Yu thanked everyone for coming to join us."

With that said, shopkeeper Yu bowed his hands.

When he got up, he said with a smile: "I won't gossip about Yu so much, the future will be long, and everything depends on the future. The things in front of me are the treasures of my Treasure Pavilion. Please take good care of them." , no matter what you say, it will be regarded as a voice in my Treasure Pavilion outside in the future."

After finishing speaking, shopkeeper Yu turned his head and nodded to the two young men standing under the high platform.

In a blink of an eye, the red cloths that covered it were all removed, and when the treasure of the town pavilion that shopkeeper Yu said appeared in front of everyone, there was a sudden silence in the hall.

Vermilion single-color glazed celestial sphere vase, jasper intertwined lotus pattern vase, simple and solemn cloisonné enamel dragon ear phoenix piercing pattern elephant foot furnace, gilt copper Buddha statue with magic seal in his right hand, and Guanyin carved from a whole piece of Hetian jade The reclining statues, if you look at each one carefully, all of them are antique treasures, and now there are good things that have a price but no market.

But looking at it, in the eyes of everyone in the hall, there are some things that seem familiar?
"Isn't that Jubaozhai's exhibit at the Treasure Conference last year? Why does it appear in the Treasure Pavilion now?"

Someone whispered.

For a while, there were whispers in the hall, but shopkeeper Yu turned a deaf ear to them, and just smiled and explained the origin of those things to interested guests at the rosewood table.

"That's it, it doesn't make any sense..."

Muttering in a low voice, Kapok sighed somewhat disinterestedly, as if he felt that he was not enjoying himself enough.

Fang Ruxuan smiled but said nothing, her eyes were still fixed on the rare antiques in the hall.

She didn't know any of those things, and she didn't even know their origins, but the people invited today are all experts in the antique business, just by looking at their expressions, Fang Ruxuan knew how valuable these things were, let alone Fang Ruxuan didn't let go of those people's whispers.

If it is true as those people said, then today's good show has not yet begun.

Sure enough, in less than half an hour, another group of people walked in from outside the gate, surrounded by the shopkeeper of Jubaozhai.

Cupping his hands and cupping his fists, he greeted the guests in the hall. The shopkeeper of Jubaozhai looked back at shopkeeper Yu and said, "Knowing that Zangbao Pavilion has opened, Liao came here to congratulate shopkeeper Yu on its successful opening."

"Shopkeeper Liao is polite, please..."

Greeting familiarly, as if the two had known each other before, Shopkeeper Yu had a gentle smile on his face.

Shopkeeper Liao didn't appreciate it, he pointed to the antiques in the middle of the hall, and walked over with his hands behind his back.

It is well known in the capital that in recent years, Jin Abacus is the only person who can be said to be unambiguous in the antique world, but Jin Abacus has retreated into the world, and now the one who can stand shoulder to shoulder with the old Jin Abacus is the shopkeeper Liao in front of him.

What's more, some of the antiques among them were the competition items of last year's Jubaozhai participating in the hidden treasure competition. If anyone has the right to speak, I am afraid it must be the treasurer Liao.

For a moment, all eyes in the hall were on Shopkeeper Liao.

Following the crowd that moved away to both sides, he walked to the rosewood square table. Shopkeeper Liao stared at the single-color glazed celestial ball bottle for a long time with a smile on his face. After a while, he reached out and lifted the bottle up.

"This is a historical relic of the previous dynasty. It flows out of the palace. It is said that it is the most proud work of Master Hongyuan. There is also Master Hongyuan's seal on the bottom of the bottle."

Shopkeeper Yu introduced it gently.

"Then Shopkeeper Yu, do you know what kind of treasure was the one who won the head of Jubaozhai at the Treasure Gathering last year?"

Shopkeeper Liao asked shopkeeper Yu with a smile.

Shopkeeper Yu smiled without saying a word.

The hall became lively again.

Last year's Treasure Gathering, Jubaozhai won the championship with this vermilion monochromatic glazed celestial ball vase, and this is the fifth year in a row that Jubaozhai has been the leader of the Treasure Gathering, making Jubaozhai the best in the capital. The status of the antique world is becoming more and more stable and unshakable.

There were quite a few people in the hall who participated in the Treasure Gathering of the past year, so they all saw the situation at that time.

But at this moment, on the auspicious day of the opening of Zangbao Pavilion, such a counterfeit was presented in full view, what is it if it is not a self-destructing signboard?
Together with everyone in the hall, shopkeeper Liao looked at shopkeeper Yu with burning eyes, waiting for his reply.
