"Of course it's man-made."
"Are you sure?"
Guo Ye proudly said: "Very sure."
Deng Qibin's expression changed slightly, and he said, "If I'm not mistaken, this wishful cup is also made of glass?"
"indeed so."
Both Chai Lingwen and Liang Shuyu were taken aback, and said, "What? You said this thing is glass?"
"It's absolutely true. As I said just now, I have seen more glass than you have seen copper coins. You still don't believe it, but you should believe it now?"
"This... Qin Guogong, there is something that I want to discuss with you." At this moment, Deng Yangren's face seemed to be blooming like an old chrysanthemum, and his tone was extremely gentle.
Guo Ye couldn't help but get goose bumps all over his body when he was begged by a rough man with a beard.He said, "What on earth do you want to do? Talk straight."
"Uh...it's like this. I think you really like my glassware. But, we haven't been able to agree on the price. So, I have a small proposal."
"What proposal?"
"The proposal is, let's make friends, and you take all these glazed vessels, and you won't take any money from now on."
"You have a saying in the West that there is no such thing as a free lunch. But I don't know what price I have to pay for taking these glassware?"
"Qin Guogong is smart enough, I really can't hide my little thought from you."
"Okay, stop flattering, and speak quickly."
"Well, I'll get it straight. You see, you like my glassware, and I like your urn very much. Isn't that a coincidence? So... shall we change?"
Guo Ye sneered and said, "You mean... you want to exchange your glazed vessels for my wishful cups?"
"That's what it means!"
Chai Lingwen ran away at that time, saying: "I said Deng Qibin, you are getting bigger and bigger. Your glazed vessels are only worth [-] guan. Taking [-] steps back, according to the price you asked, it is worth [-] guan. But Do you know how much this wishful cup is worth?"
"how much is it?"
"A priceless treasure!"
Deng Qibin shook his head again and again, and said: "No, you are wrong. All treasures have their due value. There is no priceless treasure in the world. I just can't see the price!"
"Even if what you said is right, you can't afford the price of the Wish Cup. You don't have any other property right now. Even if there are ten or a hundred times more of these glazed vessels, we won't exchange them!"
"I don't think so. That's right. In terms of actual value, the value of my glass vessels is indeed far inferior to your wishful cup. But I know that for some special reason, you must get my glass vessels No, there is a possibility of exchange."
Guo Ye said: "What you said is so unreasonable. We have such superb glassware as Ruyi Cup, why do we need your ordinary ones?"
Deng Qibin said firmly: "Because, this wishful cup was made by you by accident. There is only one such piece, which cannot be repeated. But there are dozens of glassware below."
He paused for a moment and continued: "Although I don't know why you must have a large number of glassware, I can be sure that this is the closest to the truth. And, I have changed my attention now."
"Changing your mind?"
"I only want to exchange these glassware, not to sell them! Even if you get one hundred thousand guan, you don't want me to sell these glassware to you."
"Oh, you bastard, you really think these glassware are rare goods to live in." Guo Ye was amused by him, and said, "I'll let you open your eyes and let you know how ridiculous your thinking is. "
"Do you have more wishful cups?"
"That's not true. But there are many glassware similar to yours."
"real or fake?"
"If you don't believe me, please come with me! Let me show you how many treasures there are in our heavenly kingdom!"
What Guo Ye showed to Deng Qibin was precisely the glazed vessels temporarily stored by the five noble families in Dade Temple.
Although His Majesty Li Er later ordered that all these glazed vessels should be confiscated in the palace.Fortunately, it has not been shipped yet, and it is still in the treasury of Chang'an Mansion.
Guo Xiaoge, as the order of Chang'an, it is very convenient to bring people into the treasury.
In all fairness, Western glassware is indeed more transparent than that of the Tang Dynasty, but the glazed vessels of the Tang Dynasty are also much better than the Western ones in terms of color and pattern.
Therefore, in this era, it can only be said that there is no difference between the glassware of the Tang Dynasty and the glassware of the West.Each is good at winning.
Deng Qibin is an expert in glass, how can he not understand this truth?
Seeing the densely packed thousands of glass vessels in the treasury, and comparing them with his own dozens of glass vessels, he was immediately heartbroken.For a moment, he was speechless.
Guo Ye looked at his words and said proudly: "How is it? Mr. Qi Bin, after seeing so many glazed vessels, are you convinced?"
Chapter 1766
Deng Qibin raised his hands and said with a mournful face: "Okay, I accept it. I don't want to exchange wishful cups with you for my glassware, and you don't need to buy them with [-] guan. You can take [-] guan."
After a long time of effort, Guo Ye finally got Deng Qibin done, and he let out a sigh of relief.
He said: "Mr. Qibin, if you feel that you have lost money, you can take these glazed vessels and go to the East Market to inquire. No one can offer a higher price than [-] guan. We will offer [-] guan, but Didn't take advantage of you at all."
"Oh, no need. I know all about it. I have lived in Persia for a long time. Many Persians travel between Datang and Persia, so I know exactly how much these glass vessels are worth."
"Then why do you charge one hundred thousand guan for one bite? Even if you ask for an exorbitant price, this is too outrageous."
Deng Qibin looked distressed, and said: "I have something to hide."
The more he stopped talking, Guo Ye became more and more interested. He said, "I told you just now that I am the Chief Executive of Chang'an City——Chang'an Ling. If you have any embarrassing things, just say Come out. I will help if I can."
"Uh...it's because you are the magistrate, I really can't tell you about it."
Guo Ye rolled his eyes and said: "I see, I guessed it right, these glassware are indeed of unknown origin! There is something wrong with your identity!"
"You won't really arrest me, will you?"
"Then how could it be? You have never been to Datang, even if you committed a crime, you committed it in Persia. I, Guo Ye, am full of food, so I should take care of these business matters?"
He paused for a moment, then continued: "If you really don't want to talk about it, let it go, we'll pay the money and the goods. From now on, the road will go to the side, each side will go."
"Qin Guogong, I'm really sorry!"
After the transaction was completed, Liang Ershao issued an order to expel Deng Qibin. He didn't want to take a second look at this ungrateful villain with an eye for money.
Deng Qibin didn't have any objection to this, so he found an inn and moved out that day.
With these glass vessels in hand, Guo Ye began to think of ways to use them to temporarily deter the five noble families and prolong the time for himself as much as possible.
He gradually forgot about that mysterious Deng Yangren.However, Guo Ye forgot him, but he was not forgotten.Half a month later, Deng Qibin took the initiative to pay a visit.
