Chapter 12: How about a bigger bet
Liu Yin secretly looked at Yan Yu, and saw that he was the kind of person who was born in the army, with almost tanned skin, strong and well-proportioned muscles, an expressionless face, and a glint in his eyes, although Liu Yin didn't know what Yan Yu's ability was, but from Liu Chen's nervous expression, Liu Yin understood that this was definitely a fierce opponent, and it was by no means comparable to a gentleman like Liu Sui. In any case, Yan Yu is also a battle-hardened general with rich experience in facing the enemy, and competing with such an opponent is a huge challenge in itself.
However, Liu Yin is not a person who easily admits defeat, since he has accepted this challenge, there is absolutely no reason to retreat, the demise of Shu Han is imminent, Liu Yin has the ambition of saving the country and helping the world, how can he be intimidated by a small challenge.
Although he was used to holding a sniper rifle in his previous life, he picked up a bow and arrow, and he was still a little rusty, but this did not prevent Liu Yin's play, sniper rifles and bows and arrows, from the original meaning, are the same, the pursuit of the ultimate accuracy, Liu Yin held the bow in his hand for the first time, and there was a familiar and cordial feeling.
The fact that he was able to shoot a pheasant hundreds of paces away for the first time undoubtedly provided him with great confidence.
Maybe he was born to be a marksman.
Whether it's Liu Xie or Yan Yu, Liu Yin really hasn't been afraid of anyone. He stepped forward proudly, calmly and calmly, and said awe-inspiringly: "Don't talk nonsense, how to compete?" ”
Liu Sui stroked his palms and laughed: "Cousin Yin is really bold!" General Yan is the number one archery master in the army, and he rarely encounters opponents, and Cousin Yin dares to compete with him, and this courage alone makes the younger brother heartbroken. But I'm willing to gamble and lose, if my cousin loses, he won't cheat, right? Liu Sui was in a good mood, and at this time he was already fantasizing about how to be lucky with that beauty.
Liu Yin sneered and said, "I haven't competed yet, now it's about winning or losing, doesn't Your Highness think it's a little early?" ”
"I can see that my cousin is very confident, in that case, how about we bet a little bigger?" Liu Sui hid a knife in his smile.
"Bet bigger? How to gamble? Liu Yin is neither humble nor arrogant.
Liu Sui untied the peiyu on his body, raised it in his hand, and said, "If you win, this peiyu will be yours." ”
In the Han Dynasty, jade was still jade, and jade was almost the basic etiquette of every adult man, and the so-called "gentleman has no reason, and jade does not go to his body". The Han Dynasty men's peiyu is divided into two groups, left and right, and this is what "peiyu must be double". Each group is a pendant, and each pendant is composed of seven pieces of jade, which have patterns such as clouds, dragons, algae, snakes, and lins. The horizontal jade worn is called "Hengyu", which is shaped like a horn rhombus or a residual ring. There is a hole at the upper end of the jade, which is used to wear a belt and hang it on the belt; The two corners of the jade have one hole in each corner and one hole in the middle, and they are divided into three groups, all of which are pierced with ribbons or pearls. The middle part of the middle group is a round piece of jade, called "Yu". There are three holes up and down each of the Yu, which are used to connect up and down, and a piece of jade hangs at the end, which is shaped like a half-bi, and the two ends are pointed, which is called "punching teeth". There is a hole in the middle of the semicircle of the tooth flushing, which is used to connect the belt, and the other two groups each have a piece of hanging jade-shaped jade in the middle, and a hole in the upper and lower parts to connect the upper and lower groups. At the end of the lower half of the group, a piece of Huangyu hangs, the shape of the Huangyu is like a half-bi, and the two Huangs are opposite, and the shape is like a whole. These three groups of peiyu collide with each other with the actions of people when people walk, and their impact sound is called "Heng bell Peihuan" in ancient times.
In fact, Peiyu's impact is not meant to be pleasant, but serves as a reminder, reminding Peiyu that the man's behavior must be calm and moderate. Walking fast, Peiyu's impact sound was not only unpleasant, but also chaotic; If you walk slowly and the strength is not enough, Peiyu will not make a crashing sound; Only if she is not slow and calm, Peiyu will make a pleasant sound.
During the Han and Wei dynasties, the children of the gate lord clan, the eunuchs and gentry all admired jade, and they became customary. Although its moral function is still at work, at least among the scholars, as a representation of social identity, Peiyu plays more of a social distinguishing function.
The jade of the Han Dynasty is of Hetian mutton fat jade as the top grade, the texture is delicate, warm and white, and the peiyu of dignitaries and dignitaries mostly uses mutton fat jade, and Liu Yin is also wearing this kind of jade.
However, at this moment, the peiyu in Liu Sui's hand is very different, the texture is thick and pleasant, so green that it seems to drip out, the color is pure, and there is no flaw in sight. Although Liu Yin is not good at gem identification, he can see at a glance that Liu Sui's peiyu is made of jadeite, and it is not ordinary jadeite, it is the best among jadeite - glass imperial green.
The reason why Liu Yin knew that this was the best jadeite was because he knew a rich man in his previous life, and he had purchased a pair of glass imperial green bracelets, the texture was exactly the same as Liu Sui's jade, and it cost more than 30 million. And it was just a pair of bracelets, in Liu Xun's hands, but there were fourteen pieces of jade, which were worth hundreds of millions of dollars in later generations.
Just when Liu Yin secretly sighed at the extravagance of the royal children, Liu Chen had already exclaimed: "Sixth, are you crazy, this is a gift from your father, you actually dare to take it out to gamble, after returning to the palace, see how you explain to your father?" ”
This jade is a tribute to Nanzhong, the Han Dynasty when Myanmar still belongs to the rule of Nanzhong, Zhuge Liang seven capture Meng after the pacification of Nanzhong, Nanzhong barbarians surrendered, year after year, year after year tribute, high-grade jadeite is naturally listed in the tribute. Jadeite as a new jade, spread to the Celestial Empire and not long, especially like this emerald jadeite, is a scarce thing, the value is naturally expensive, Liu Chan can give Liu Sui, it is clearly a preference for him.
Liu Sui said disapprerovingly: "Just a few pieces of jade, not to mention that I may not be able to lose." How's that, cousin, do you dare to accept it? ”
Liu Xun looked high and domineering, and the corners of his mouth were full of disdain. Even Huang You and others had an expression of schadenfreude.
Even though Liu Sui holds hundreds of millions of peiyu in his hands, in Liu Yin's eyes, it is just equivalent to a few broken stones.
Liu Yin glanced indifferently and said, "Why don't you dare?" It's just that I don't have an equivalent bet in my hand, but I'm afraid it's not fair to His Highness. ”
Liu Xun smiled and said: "It doesn't matter if my cousin can't take it out now, but I heard that there is a tiger head Zhan golden gun hidden in the Anping Palace, which is a relic of his grandfather's hussar general Hou Ma Chao, although it is a little worse than this tribute Peiyu, but it is better than nothing, but I don't know if my cousin has the courage to take it out." ”
