Xu Guogong Mansion.
Haogong Qianhe looked at the familiar door and felt a little depressed.
She can now easily walk through the door, but the opportunity has been missed, and all her plans have come to nothing.
Is it because he is unlucky, or is Xu Fenglei really that amazing and able to detect everything?
"I've met Princess Qianzuru."
The purple maid smiled sweetly and bowed slightly to Haogong Qianhe.
Haomiya Qianhe: "..."
His attitude was so bad last night, but now he's so polite!
The co-author is not the same person day and night, right? !
She didn't respond, but bowed slightly as a greeting.
Seeing this, Zi Maid still had a smile on her face and said with a smile:
"I didn't see it clearly yesterday. Is this the bloody BMW that Princess Qianhe wanted to give to your husband?"
"Tsk...it's getting more and more awesome! No wonder sir, I can't forget it. This time I finally got what I wanted!"
Xu Fenglei curled his lips.
"How can it be so easy to get what you want? We Tang people value reciprocity, and I have to return the favor."
He waved and said,
"Go and get the "Preface to the Orchid Pavilion Collection" from my room! Let Princess Qianhe take a look!"
"Yes." Zi Maid walked away gracefully.
Inu Shang Sanri Shu's eyes showed surprise.
""Preface to the Lanting Collection"?!"
He asked hurriedly,
"But the work of Wang Xizhi, the author of "Sangluan Tie", is known as the "Preface to the Lanting Collection" which is the best cursive script in the world?!"
Xu Fenglei nodded happily.
"Exactly."
He replied in the affirmative.
Inugami Mikazuo suddenly turned his head to look at Haomiya Chizuru, and saw the shock and excitement in the other person's eyes!
That's the "Preface to the Lanting Collection"!
Even a piece of "Song Luan Tie" can be regarded as a national treasure by them, let alone Wang Xizhi's most proud work "Preface to the Orchid Pavilion Collection"!
If it can be brought back to Japan, it will definitely cause a nationwide sensation!
At this moment, both of them swallowed in unison, their expectations were already high.
Xu Fenglei touched the mane of the sweaty BMW and said with a smile:
"Hey...I've wanted to ride you for a long time."
The sweaty BMW snorted and raised his neck, giving a arrogant response.
Da da da.
Zi Maid came over holding the copybook and spread it out on the stone table.
Swish!
The two people immediately came closer, eyes widened, and looked carefully.
"In the eighth year of Yonghe's reign, he was in Guichou... It is indeed the "Preface to the Lanting Collection"!"
"Good calligraphy, good calligraphy! As expected of the sage of calligraphy, Wang Xizhi, this calligraphy is so elegant and elegant, it is really wonderful!"
"Huh? But this glyph... seems to be different from that of Sangluan?"
"Hey, princess, you don't know something. The words written are different due to different moods. "Preface to the Lanting Collection" was written impromptu by Wang Xizhi. He was drinking to his heart's content at that time, and he was happy and wanton when writing; "Sang Luan Tie" was written by Wang Xizhi when he was extremely sad and angry, and his mood was gloomy. So there must be a difference between the two!"
"I see……"
"..."
This piece of "Preface to the Orchid Pavilion Collection" made the two of them very excited. The continuous appreciation and exchange there almost made the work in front of them a flower. Xu Fenglei could hardly hold back his nerves!
Yan Lide will definitely be encouraged if he hears you praising his copying works.
That's right.
This is not an authentic work at all, but a poor copy by Yan Lide.
Can you show the original work to the kid? What a joke!
It would be great to see a copy of the work! Anyway, these bumpkins don’t know anything about the product. Seeing how happy they are, they are sure that this painting is authentic.
"You two are also quite accomplished in calligraphy?"
Xu Fenglei smiled slightly, pretending to be surprised and said,
“From your tasting, it seems very professional!”
Dog Shang Sanri waved his hands repeatedly.
"Don't dare, I just know a little bit about it."
He said with great humility,
"The art of calligraphy was spread from the Central Plains to Japan. The aristocracy of Japan are keen on it. If you don't know calligraphy, you will be considered a country bumpkin."
"Compared with Princess Qianzuru, I am not good enough."
Xu Fenglei nodded slightly and turned to look at Haogong Qianhe.
"So what do Princess Qianhe think of this "Preface to the Lanting Collection"?"
He said with a half-smile,
"Critical review?"
Haomiya Qianhe's eyes carefully explored the calligraphy, and then took a deep breath.
"This is a peerless treasure, its value is immeasurable!"
She praised,
"Just after taking a few glances, I feel that my calligraphy level has improved by more than one level!"
"If I didn't have pen and paper right now, I would have copied it on the spot! Thank you Mr. Xu for allowing Qianhe to see the best cursive script in the world! It's really amazing and a feast for the eyes!"
"Qianhe is shameless and wants to ask Mr. Xu to lend me the Four Treasures of the Study so that I can copy them and take them back to Japan. How about that?"
At this moment, Haomiya Chizuru didn't have any other emotions, only joy.
The "Preface to the Lanting Collection" touched her so much!
"Ha ha ha ha……"
Xu Fenglei laughed loudly, waved his hand and said,
"Why bother copying on the spot? If the princess likes this calligraphy, I will lend it to you!"
"You gave me a horse with your sweat and blood, and I borrowed it with a calligraphy note from "Lanting". We all reciprocated politely and enjoyed each other happily. Isn't it beautiful?"
Haogong Qianhe was shocked.
"Mr. Xu...are you really willing to lend this "Preface to the Lanting Collection" to Qianhe?"
She held her breath and said carefully,
"Qianhe...can you take it back to Japan?"
Xu Fenglei nodded.
"Of course you can!"
He said cheerfully,
"Promoting the art of calligraphy is also my long-cherished wish in life."
"Since Japanese people love calligraphy, they should let this trend spread and make all Japanese people become elegant people!"
"It's just that I will lend you the best running script in the world, but there are conditions."
Haomiya Qianhe nodded repeatedly.
"Mr. Xu, please just say it!" she said hurriedly.
If there were no conditions for lending such a valuable treasure, she would feel uneasy.
"First of all, this "Lanting" calligraphy is a precious treasure. You are not allowed to have any damage, not even a little wrinkle, let alone moth damage."
Xu Fenglei said seriously,
"I want you to collect it to the highest standards!"
"Of course!" Haogong Qianhe said extremely solemnly, "Qianhe must regard it as a national treasure and will never dare to desecrate or damage it in the slightest!"
Xu Fenglei nodded slightly.
"Second."
He said again,
"This post is only lent to you, not given to you. It can be lent to you for observation for at most one year. After one year, it must be returned in its original form without delay, and you are not allowed to take it as your own!"
Haogong Qianhe looked solemn.
"Please rest assured, Mr. Xu, Qianhe will never dare to covet treasures."
She raised her head and promised,
"By then, the jade will definitely be returned to Zhao intact!"
"But...can we relax a little bit about this time? After all, it takes several months for the carriage and horse to go back and forth...a year is really too short."
Xu Fenglei nodded.
"That's true..."
He sighed softly,
"As long as you agree to my third condition, I will extend the period to two years."
"Qianhe is all ears." Haogong Qianhe pricked up her ears and looked attentive.
The corners of Xu Fenglei's mouth raised slightly.
"I want to purchase a piece of land in Japan."
He stretched out his finger and said,
"You have a place called Izumo in Japan, right?"
Haomiya Qianhe was stunned.
"Xu Gong seems to know Japan quite well."
She nodded and said,
"Izumo has two meanings in Japan."
"One is the Izumo Dynasty in mythology. Its territory covers the entire Japan and even the ocean, and its ruler is a god."
"The second is the geographical location of Izumo. There is indeed such a place and tribe. It is a coastal land, close to Silla, and it is also called Shimane."
"But it's not very controlled by my father... er, my father."
The leader of Japan seems to rule the entire island country, but in fact there are many tribes in the country, and they have established countries one after another, and they are independent in their own affairs.
Xu Fenglei was not surprised by this either.
"Then help me coordinate. I want to purchase property in Izumo."
He said,
"Hmm... I probably want to buy an entire mountain range. Do you know this place in the mountains in the Omori area?"
Haomiya Chizuru pondered for a moment.
"...I've heard that it seems to be a primitive forest, uninhabited."
She raised her head slightly and said with confusion,
"Qianhe is so surprised that Mr. Xu knows so clearly about my area in Japan."
"Even I'm not very familiar with it..."
This is so strange.
Most people in the Tang Dynasty didn't even know that there was an island country like Japan overseas. Xu Fenglei in front of them could actually pinpoint the address to a specific area!
Unbelievable...
"Ha... I also read in an unknown ancient book that Izumo Forest is a fairyland on earth."
Xu Fenglei waved his hand and said with a smile,
"Although I only have a few words about it, I am yearning for it! In fact, I have always had a dream of traveling around the world. I want to buy a property in each country so that it can be used as my future vacation manor."
"Japan is one of my choices."
"Xu Gong is going to Japan for vacation?" Chizuru Hiromiya was moved and continued, "Then Japan has many scenic spots. I can name a few good places. They are definitely better than the Izumo Forest. Be beautiful!”
Xu Fenglei's smile faded.
"I want this place."
He said seriously,
"Princess Qianzuru, can you make arrangements for me?"
Seeing that his smile had disappeared, Haomiya Qianhe didn't dare to change the subject anymore and nodded hurriedly.
"Of course you can, it's just a forest mountain range."
She said,
"If Mr. Xu wants to buy it, there is no problem at all. The Izumo tribe is very poor and often borrows food from surrounding tribes."
"If Mr. Xu is willing to pay a high price, I believe the leader of the Izumo tribe will definitely sell it."
"How much is a high price?" Xu Fenglei said with a half-smile, "For the sake of "Preface to the Lanting Collection", you can't hurt me..."
Haogong Qianhe smiled.
"Xu Gong is joking. You are even willing to lend the "Preface to the Lanting Collection" as a gift. This sincerity is touching."
She said seriously,
"Qianhe estimates that he can purchase that forest mountain range with up to two hundred taels of gold."
"If it's not enough, Qianhe will subsidize it for you when the time comes. All in all, this matter will be done for you!"
Snapped!
Xu Fenglei clapped his hands.
"good!"
He praised highly,
"Princess Qianzuru is a cheerful person, so let's make it an agreement! We will sign the contract as proof later!"
"Two hundred taels of gold, and fifty taels of travel expenses as a gift to you, I'll give them to you!"
With only two hundred taels, that is, two thousand taels of silver, you can get the largest 'Iwami Silver Mine' in Japan?
This deal is such a bargain!
You must know that in the 17th century, the silver output of this Iwami silver mine accounted for one-third of the world's silver content, which shows its high silver content!
Put it in your pocket, and then you can openly send troops and horses to mine, and you can get a steady stream of silver, which is unmatched by opening ten banks!
"Thank you Mr. Xu!"
Haomiya Chizuru also smiled.
Her mood at the moment had completely changed from depressed to cheerful.
This trip was just a gift of a bloody horse that could not be taken away, but I got the rare treasure "Preface to the Lanting Collection" and Xu Fenglei's two hundred and fifty taels of gold!
With this money, she won't have to worry about returning to Japan!
It's like another village has a bright future, and she's making a lot of money!
The most important thing is that Xu Fenglei still has the idea of vacationing in Japan! When it comes to her home court, why not just take care of it?
As she thought about it, the corners of her mouth began to rise...
After a while.
Haogong Qianhe signed the contract, left the BMW, took "Lanting Collection Preface" and two hundred and fifty taels of gold, thanked him profusely, and left Xu Guogong's mansion with satisfaction.
"Sir, are we at a loss?"
Zi Mai looked at Xu Fenglei and asked,
"Although Yan Shilang's "Preface to the Lanting Collection" is not authentic, it is still a masterpiece. Wouldn't it be a pity to give it to these Japanese people?"
Xu Fenglei laughed.
"What a pity? Do you think Yan Lide's copying stickers are so valuable?"
He said,
"If Yan Lide knew that the rough draft he copied could be exchanged for a bloody horse, believe it or not, he would just quit his job and copy copybooks professionally at home?"
Zi Mai shook her head.
Of course that's impossible.
This copying only took a stick of incense to complete, so how could it be worth so much?
"But you gave the Japanese princess two hundred and fifty taels of gold."
She said again,
"Aren't you afraid that she will regret it after returning to Japan? Not only did she swallow the two hundred and fifty taels of gold, she might not even be able to pay back the money owed to the bank."
"After all, Japan is too far away. I don't even know where it is... It's hard to collect debt even if I go there."
Xu Fenglei sneered.
"She wouldn't dare."
He said,
"Unless Japan cuts off contact with the Tang Dynasty from now on and has no contact with the Tang Dynasty, it will not want to draw nutrients from the Tang Dynasty."
"Is this possible? It's not worth sacrificing the future for a mere thousand taels of gold. Even a fool can settle the account."
"Haogong Qianhe will definitely return the copybook and gold obediently. She will also help me purchase the mountains I want."
"Because she still wants to deal with me, and the Japanese country also wants to deal with Datang."
"As for what the Japanese learned from the "Preface to the Lanting Anthology"? I actually don't care. No matter how high their cultural quality and elegance are, it is of little use."
"That's never what I care about."
Zi Maid nodded in confusion.
She seemed to understand, but she didn't seem to understand it very well.
"It's time for the Japanese envoys to return home."
Xu Fenglei raised the corners of his mouth slightly and said,
"It's time for me to close the net."
"Prepare your horses, I want to enter the palace and issue orders!"
