【104】Gambling Dan

Ma Xiaoquan calmed down and asked his grandson: "Brother Sun, how did you know that the golden square coins are related to the objects in this picture?"

The grandson smiled: "My father has seen the thing in the picture before. Well, when my father was still alive, he talked about this thing and said that it was held by a man..."

Sun Tzu's words were unclear, but Ma Xiaoquan already understood.

That's right, the one holding the solar recorder should be Huang Jingming who physically traveled back through time at that time.

"Then how did you get this golden square coin?"

Sun Tzu said: "The one I own was given to my father by that man at that time."

"For your father?"

Ma Xiaoquan didn't understand. Since Huang Jingming modified the solar recorder, why didn't he take it back? Why did he separate the two "golden square coins"?

Ma Xiaoquan determined that Huang Jingming should have given the first one to his grandson's father, but Ma Xiaoquan got the second one from Mao Feng. Mao Feng had already died, so there was no way to verify it.

The grandson looked at the thoughtful Ma Xiaoquan, smiled slightly, and said, "If Mr. Ma likes this thing, I can give it to Mr. Ma."

Ma Xiaoquan was surprised when he heard this.

In ancient times, people rarely sold or gave away things left behind by their parents, unless the other party had some purpose.

Ma Xiaoquan expected that his grandson might ask for something from him, so he started fighting.

"Actually, I can have this thing or not. Even if I don't have that thing, I can still get what I want..."

Ma Xiaoquan understands that the highest level of asking for something is to have someone else come to your door without asking. This is what he means now by taking retreat in order to advance.

Sure enough, the grandson's eyebrows moved and he laughed. He grabbed Ma Xiaoquan's hand and forcibly pressed the "Golden Square Coin" into Ma Xiaoquan's hand: "Master Ma is too polite. It's useless for me to keep this thing."

, since Mr. Ma needs it, I will give it to you."

Ma Xiaoquan looked at his grandson and asked alertly: "What conditions do you have?"

Sun Tzu shook his head: "I only have one thing to ask for, and I hope Mr. Ma will agree."

"Speaking!"

The grandson looked around and took out a rosewood box from his arms.

As soon as the box was taken out, Ma Xiaoquan felt that it seemed familiar.

"Master Ma, please guess what is in this box?"

Ma Xiaoquan looked at this rosewood box. The more he looked at it, the more familiar it seemed. The more familiar it looked, the more familiar it felt.

"Oh" Ma Xiaoquan suddenly thought of something and slapped his forehead suddenly.

The grandson thought that Ma Xiaoquan had guessed what was in the box. He was surprised and asked quickly: "Have you guessed it?"

Ma Xiaoquan nodded.

He remembered that this was the "horse urine elixir" that he had deceived Dong Zhuo and refined.

Ma Xiaoquan asked his grandson: "There should be something like elixirs in this."

The grandson was shocked and asked, "How did Mr. Ma know?"

Ma Xiaoquan concentrated a little and a light red flame burst out from the palm of his right hand.

"Because, this elixir was refined by me..." Ma Xiaoquan said, extinguishing the flames in his palms, and walked away laughing.

The grandson was holding the red sandalwood box and stood motionless. Remembering that Mr. Ma could make his palms fire just now, the grandson suddenly understood that the other person turned out to be a god.

With a "pop" sound, the grandson kowtowed in the direction where Ma Xiaoquan was leaving.

...

The third day of treasure appreciation is also the last day of the bracelet-wearing ceremony at this memorial meeting.

When the show started early in the morning, Hua Liangyi announced a big news, that is, the jade bracelet that was exhibited before would be traded today.

As soon as the news came out, all the wealthy families started talking privately.

Some wealthy families immediately contacted their nearest relatives and family members to prepare treasures in order to evaluate the price of barter; other wealthy families simply formed a group and used their group advantage to compete for the bracelet.

Ma Xiaoquan watched with great interest the wealthy people in front of him busy around, but secretly sneered in his heart.

"No matter which one of you gets that bracelet, I will come along, hum..."

The grandson walked up to Ma Xiaoquan and said respectfully: "Master Ma, don't you prepare some treasures?"

After learning about Ma Xiaoquan's "identity", Sun Tzu immediately improved his name for Ma Xiaoquan.

Ma Xiaoquan shook his head: "I can't even afford to exchange for that thing. Rather than doing this, it would be better for the fishermen to benefit."

Sun Tzu didn't quite understand what Ma Xiaoquan said, but seeing Ma Xiaoquan's confident look, he didn't feel like asking any more questions, so he bowed his body and backed away.

Lu Xian and Bian Rang were also very interested in the bracelet. After all, the bracelet came from the same family as He Shibi. Secondly, if they took this bracelet and gave it to Miss Hua Yuexin, maybe it would

To impress the beautiful lady...

The two of them had the same idea, glanced at each other, and then burst out laughing.

...

Before the bracelet was exhibited, an object was first exhibited. This object was contained in a large box.

Everyone thought it was some kind of huge treasure and looked at it sideways.

Hua Liangyi stepped forward, opened the big box and took out a small box.

Everyone was puzzled, and Hua Liangyi explained: "This thing was accidentally obtained by my Hua family. It is said to be an elixir refined by a god. After tasting this elixir, one can live forever..."

Before Hua Liangyi finished speaking, some people couldn't sit still.

Immortality? What kind of concept is this? It means living forever.

These are troubled times, and living in troubled times is already tiring. If you can get this elixir and live forever, you won't care whether the times are troubled or not.

Ma Xiaoquan raised his head and looked at the box held by Hua Liangyi, dumbfounded.

The box in Hua Liangyi's hand has the same texture as the one held by her grandson, both of which are rosewood.

Needless to say, the red sandalwood box contained the "horse urine elixir" refined by Ma Xiaoquan.

Others don't know the ingredients of "Horse Urine Elixir", but he, Ma Xiaoquan, knows it.

The two little girls Miaoyu and Hualin saw the rosewood box in Hua Liangyi's hand and were about to speak. Ma Xiaoquan hugged them and whispered: "Don't speak nonsense, otherwise you will be killed.

At that time, my brother won’t be able to protect you either.”

The two little girls blinked their big eyes and nodded in understanding.

Hua Liangyi gently opened the box, and immediately, a very strange aroma filled the whole place.

Although the aroma is strong, there is a faint smell of urine, but you can't smell it unless you smell it carefully.

The two little girls, Miaoyu and Hualin, covered their mouths in disgust and ran out looking for excuses.

"Pa da" Hua Liangyi shared the box, bowed his hands to everyone, and said, "Everyone, how do you feel about this elixir?"

The wealthy people in the audience were all red-eyed at this time, looking determined to win. As soon as Hua Liangyi finished speaking, someone asked him: "Master Hua, do you want to change this elixir? How can I change it? Give me one."

A happy statement?"

Hua Liangyi chuckled: "Change? We won't change this thing!"

When everyone heard this, they were very puzzled. Hua Liangyi explained: "To be honest, no one in my Hua family knows whether this is an elixir. There are just two short stories. I, Hua Liangyi, want to tell everyone first."

, Firstly, in the third year of Chuping (AD 192), the emperor was seriously ill, and he relied on this pill to bring his life back from hell; secondly, the old thief Dong Zhuo also took this pill before he was killed in Chang'an.

....”

Hua Liangyi said, and everyone fell into deep thought.

Ma Xiaoquan looked at Hua Liangyi with his mouth open. He had heard a bit about Dong Zhuo taking the elixir, but he didn't know about Emperor Xian taking the elixir.

"Fortunately, this thing is not poisonous. Otherwise, if Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty had his hair cut off, history would be like..." Thinking of this, Ma Xiaoquan suddenly broke out in sweat.

Someone asked Hua Liangyi again: "If that's the case, isn't this thing an unknown treasure?"

Hua Liangyi touched the beard on his chin, nodded and said: "Exactly! However, the emperor is blessed by God, and Dong is a thief who has brought disaster to the country and the people. Their identities are not the same...

"

Someone else followed Hua Liangyi's words and said, "If you put it this way, does it mean that only people of high status will be effective if they take this elixir?"

Hua Liangyi smiled slightly but did not answer.

For a while, the venue fell into silence.

Suddenly, a male voice sounded throughout the audience.

"I want this elixir!"

Everyone turned their heads and looked sideways, only to realize that the person speaking was none other than Mr. Lu Xianlu.

Lu Xian originally thought of keeping a lot of treasures to exchange for the jade bracelet, but after seeing the elixir, Lu Xian changed his mind.

Lu Xian thought to himself: As long as he lives forever, as long as he does not die, as long as he is rich and powerful, then it is victory. As for Huayue Xin, he will not consider it for the time being. He can grab it when the time is right.

If there is a leader, there will be a second one. As soon as Lu Xian finished speaking, some wealthy families started to compete with him.

Hua Liangyi smiled and stretched out her hand to suppress the restless people: "Everyone, be quiet. Since you all have this intention, my Hua family will bear the pain and give up today. However, this thing should not be called bartering."

."

Someone asked: "If it's not bartering, what is it called?"

Hua Liangyi smiled and said: "Bet!"

"Betting?" Everyone was puzzled.

Ma Xiaoquan thought for a moment and smiled.

Well, you Hua Liangyi, you are really cunning and cunning. People are betting on stones and jade. You just want to bet on elixirs. You are ruthless!

Hua Liangyi strikes while the iron is hot: "Since it's a bet, of course it's a gamble. Whoever bids a reasonable price will take it!"

Since it was gambling, it meant that everyone had a chance to participate. Suddenly, the entire venue could be heard competing to increase prices.

"I'll pay 10,000 taels!"

"I will pay 15,000 taels..."

"Twenty thousand taels..."

The bidding for higher prices kept coming and going, making it very lively.

Ma Xiaoquan hugged his chest and watched the wealthy people in front of him keep increasing their prices, but he felt indescribably awkward in his heart.

"I didn't expect this thing to sell for so much money. If I had known better, I should have gotten a few more..."

"One hundred thousand taels!" Ma Xiaoquan was thinking when a voice came to his ears.

The venue fell silent for a moment.

The bidder was none other than Mr. Lu.
