For Ying Feiyu, blue and white porcelain is just an ordinary set of tableware.
But in the eyes of Ying Zheng and other ministers, this set of tableware is a priceless treasure.
Especially the patterns on it are lifelike and beautiful!
Otherwise, Zhang Han wouldn't have been shameless enough to take one secretly!
"Don't, don't, don't fight. Although I have led troops and fought in wars for several years, now I am used to being pampered. My body and bones have long since given out. If a hundred bullets fall, it will not directly kill me...!"
Zhang Han waved his hands repeatedly and bowed his hands towards Ying Zheng, "I just saw that this cup was very delicate and wanted to study it carefully, but accidentally, it fell into the sleeves! Marquis Tongwu was exaggerating. This is not true at all. It’s not considered stealing!”
"Accidentally? Why does this wine glass fall so easily? Why doesn't it fall into my sleeve? I want to study it too!"
"Yes, we are very interested in these wine glasses and bowls. Can we study them and accidentally fall into the sleeves?"
"That's it! Stealing is stealing, just give the money and that's it...!"
The ministers still refused to give up.
Ying Zheng also had a fierce look on his face, showing no sign of calming down.
Zhang Han was very embarrassed, "Okay! If you give me the money, I'll give you the money! Young Master, this tea cup accidentally fell into someone's sleeve robe. Please give me a price! I, Zhang, will pay it!"
There is really no way, His Majesty is watching, so we must resolve this embarrassing situation quickly!
The boy has already said that a bowl costs five hundred gold, and a plate costs one thousand gold. But this wine glass is very small, only a hundred gold at most.
Think of it as a way to save money and avoid disaster, otherwise if a hundred dollars goes down, his life will be at stake!
Little Shota didn't hesitate, stretched out a finger and stared at him with a wicked smile.
Um! The price was just what he expected.
So Zhang Han took out a silver note from his pocket without hesitation and slapped it on the table, "This is a silver note for one hundred gold. Your Highness, please check it carefully!"
"One hundred gold?"
Xiao Zhengtai raised his eyebrows and shook the outstretched finger in the air.
"That's right. Does the young master want a thousand gold coins?"
"Isn't it right? Just such a small wine glass costs a thousand gold?"
"It's done! It's done! It's done! One thousand is one thousand!"
Zhang Han talked to himself, counted a few more banknotes from his arms, took them out with a grimace, and patted them on the table.
Good guy!
Fortunately, I knew I was going to play mahjong today, so I brought some extra money.
Otherwise, I'm afraid I won't be able to get out of this house!
"Zhang Shangshu is also the Hubu Shangshu after all. He is in charge of a huge treasury. Why is the structure so small?"
Xiao Zhengtai glanced at the banknotes on the table, but didn't even move. It was obvious that he didn't like them.
"This this……?"
Zhang Han looked at the young lady, and then at the thousand gold and silver notes lying quietly on the table.
This is a thousand gold pieces, his annual salary.
Buying this small cup is not enough?
At the same time, other ministers also gloated and snickered!
The prince is still awesome.
This old guy is a miser, and it would be more uncomfortable for him to take advantage of him than to hit him a hundred times!
"Ahem..."
Ying Zheng made an assist with a stern look on his face and showed a slight displeasure.
The meaning is obvious. If the prince cannot be satisfied, then there will really be a fight!
"I wonder how much His Highness the Crown Prince wants?"
To avoid such an embarrassing thing happening again, Zhang Han had no choice but to ask, hoping that this kid could give him a positive answer.
Don't play such riddles anymore.
Not only is it embarrassing, but it’s mainly scary!
One hundred gold is not enough, and even one thousand gold is not enough!
Even if it is a cup made of pure gold, one thousand gold is enough!
"Ten thousand gold!"
Little Shota still stretched out her white and tender little finger and gestured in the air.
"Hiss..."
As soon as these words came out, Zhang Han suddenly took a breath of cold air.
He never expected that a small cup would cost ten thousand gold!
Even if it is fine porcelain that has never appeared in the world, with exquisite patterns, it is not worth ten thousand gold!
"Um...your highness, I have a question and I don't know whether I should ask it or not!"
After the shock, Zhang Han rubbed his hands and asked tentatively.
"Say it!"
Xiao Zhengtai hugged his shoulders and responded very generously.
"Well... the young master just said that this bowl costs five hundred gold. The plate is larger and the pattern is more gorgeous. It starts from one thousand gold. But this... this... small wine glass, why does it cost ten thousand? Where’s the gold?”
Zhang Han flattened his mouth and said with a grimace.
"What Zhang Shangshu doesn't know is that this porcelain was indeed fired from the same batch, but the other porcelains were painted by the best painter in the palace. Only this wine glass was painted by the prince himself, so the price is higher!"
Little Shota shook his head and made up reasons.
Anyway, no one has seen it, so how can I refute it?
"Yo! Yo! I just discovered during the dinner that the painting on this wine glass is extraordinary. It is more exquisite than other paintings, and the coloring is very even. It turns out that it was made by the prince. It is indeed extraordinary!"
"Yes! I didn't expect that the prince is not only excellent in calligraphy, but also unparalleled in painting!"
"His Royal Highness the Prince painted this wine glass with his own hands. Not to mention ten thousand gold, it is worth even one hundred thousand gold!"
"No! Lao Zhang, if you spend ten thousand gold to buy the young master's autograph, you are truly lucky. You will have to offer incense to your ancestors when you return!"
"That's right! Others can't buy it if they want to...!"
Several ministers saw the excitement and started joking.
However, Zhang Han still had that bitter face.
Although he didn't understand painting, the painting style and technique were clearly painted by one person, so how could it be possible that the wine glass alone was painted by the prince?
Obviously this guy just wants to steal his own money!
"Um...your highness, can you give me a discount?"
"able!"
"Break the bones!"
At first hearing that the prince agreed, Zhang Han was secretly amused, but after listening to the second half of the sentence, the smile suddenly disappeared.
This guy is so bad, he talks half-heartedly, aren't you sincerely teasing him?
"What? Lao Zhang? You don't think it's expensive, do you? Do you think His Royal Highness's authentic work is not worth even ten thousand gold?"
Seeing that he remained unmoved, Wang Ben pretended to be shocked and asked.
The prince is his future son-in-law. If he doesn't help now, how long will he wait?
Zhang Han looked at the small and smart wine glass in his hand and wished he could give himself a slap!
Why are my hands so weak?
What are you doing with this wine glass?
It's good now, I feel sorry for him. If I don't give it, wouldn't it mean that the prince's painting skills are not worth the ten thousand gold?
If he offended His Majesty, he would offend the Crown Prince even more. Do you still want the Crown Prince to take him to play in the future?
His current wealth is all thanks to the prince's guidance in business.
If this makes the prince unhappy, nothing will happen to him in the future!
The losses will be even greater then!
After a fierce ideological struggle, Zhang Han gritted his teeth, stamped his feet, and showed a smile that was uglier than crying, "Since it was painted by His Royal Highness himself, ten thousand gold is definitely worth the money. I am old Zhang, but I am blind. You can’t see Taishan, but ten thousand gold can buy His Highness the Crown Prince’s authentic work. It was Lao Zhang and I who took advantage!”
"It's just that I didn't bring so much money today. When I return home, I will definitely order my servants to make up for the remaining money. How about that?"
