Turbidity World Red Dust Chapter 159 Pressing the Qi King
"Fifteen hundred taels. ”
"Two thousand taels. ”
“......”
The competition for orchids has reached a fever pitch.
In this Oiran auction, King Qi released the wind and wanted to auction off all the Oiran and Hua Niang, and everyone in the field thought that they could not and did not dare to compete with it, so they naturally set their eyes on the rest of the beauties.
These beauties specially selected by Guanghan Palace, compared with Oiran and Hua Niang, may be very inferior in talent and temperament, but their appearance has their own characteristics, not much worse than Oiran and Hua Niang.
"Four thousand eight hundred taels. Liu Gangqiang, the name of Guangtai firm, raised his hand and shouted.
This price is already three times the value of the plum blossom girl.
The audience was silent, and the price was a bit high.
After a moment, Zhu Zhan, the name of Anping Firm, raised his hand again.
"Five thousand taels. Zhu Zhan sweated on his forehead and gritted his teeth and shouted.
He photographed the orchid for a certain adult in the court, and the price has greatly exceeded expectations.
He didn't dare to give up the orchid easily, so far, the bidding has been far more intense than expected, and who knows if the auction will be even crazier later.
If you can't shoot a person, the consequences of offending that adult are very serious.
No one raised a sign, and finally Zhu Zhan took a picture of the orchid, couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and happily looked around and gave up his hand.
"Drunken Immortal Building, Lao Zhu treats you, thank you for giving face, let me take away the orchid. ”
Two people walked out from behind the curtains, a fat and strong woman, supporting a tall girl in a green dress.
The girl in the green dress looked like she was frowning, her eyes were affectionate, she was smiling, and she was full of charm.
"The spring breeze is swaying with infinite hatred, and Shen Xiangting is leaning on the north of the Gangan. ”
Ye Rongfu waved his hand on the stage and said, "Below is the bamboo ......"
"Three thousand taels!"
Without waiting for Ye Rongfu to finish speaking, Liu Gangqiang raised his hand impatiently and shouted.
Ye Rongfu dropped the hammer suddenly and said, "Congratulations to Boss Liu for taking a picture of Zhu Niang for three thousand taels." ”
The fat and sturdy woman on the stage was stunned when she heard this, and walked up to Ye Rongfu with a big grin, and said, "Who took a picture of me?"
The audience heard the words and burst into laughter.
Liu Gangqiang stood up suddenly, his body was shaky, pointed to the tall girl in the green dress, and said weakly: "How could I have photographed her......?
The bamboo girl has a delicate waist, such as a weak willow to help the wind, and the Guanghan Palace specially arranges the fat and strong bamboo girl to support each other, in order to highlight the characteristics of the bamboo girl's appearance, and the bamboo girl was originally not a lot.
Ye Rongfu interrupted him and said: "You are shooting Zhu Niang, she is Zhu Niang, and Zhu Niang is next to Zhu Niang." ”
Liu Gangqiang's face turned pale, he almost fainted, and argued forcefully: "How can the auction result be counted without the first and second hammer inquiring and confirmation?"
"Zhu Niang, three thousand taels for the first time. Ye Rongfu raised his gavel and shouted slowly: "Is there any price increase?"
"Zhu Niang, three thousand taels for the second time. Ye Rongfu looked at Liu Gangqiang and said lukewarmly.
"Slow! I pleaded guilty to a penalty of 1,000 taels, I don't have 3,000 taels. ”
Liu Gangqiang wiped his sweat and said: "You will not be allowed to participate in the auction of Guanghan Palace and Hongxin Auction House for ten years." ”
Liu Gangqiang was also single, and said directly: "The auction will be returned." ”
Ye Rongfu waved his hand and said: "The auction manager has the right to make the final decision on the price of the items that are unsold or regretted." Since Boss Liu has 1,000 taels, the shopkeeper decided that Zhu Niang will auction 1,000 taels and it will be owned by Boss Liu. ”
Ye Rongfu continued: "The ranking has its own rules, and the auctioned goods will not be returned. ”
This punishment is more disgusting than admitting a fine of 1,000 taels, and since then Liu Gangqiang has a reputation, and 1,000 taels of pig (bamboo) Niang.
This small episode caused the auction to pause for a moment, but it shocked everyone in the venue, made the order solemn, and Ye Rongfu's reputation as the first chief auction shopkeeper became even louder.
With order, bidding in the auction hall is more intense and prices are higher.
The bamboo girl and the chrysanthemum girl behind both fetched high prices.
Lei Shaoxuan didn't care about this, and quietly waited for the auction of the flower girl Zhang Qianhua.
A few pearls in the venue suddenly flashed out, and the pearls on the stage gradually lit up from darkness.
Zhang Qianhua was dressed in tulle, bathed in light, and slowly walked out from behind the curtain alone, just like the beautiful sun rising.
The soft light gathered on Zhang Qianhua's body, and the body was delicate.
Zhang Qianhua turned out to be without makeup, but she was even more moving, looking at the city, and then the country, a peerless beauty.
Between the manners, the hands are like soft wattles, the skin is like clotted fat, the collar is like a grub, the teeth are like a rhinoceros, the head of the mantis is like a moth eyebrows, the smile is clever, the beautiful eyes are squinting, as if an immortal descends to the earth, fluttering and ready to fly.
There was silence in the arena for a moment, as if a needle could be heard falling on the ground.
"It's beautiful!" someone exclaimed. The voice is thin, for fear of a sudden beauty.
In the box, Wu Tai, the king of Qi, was holding a teacup in his hand, and his heart was pounding.
He lingered in the wind and moon field, married many beautiful concubines, and read countless people, but he had never seen such a stunning woman.
It is no wonder that the Guanghan Palace cultivates flower girls and oirans only for auctions, and no one is allowed to witness the true face before the auction, and the prince is no exception, so as not to lose the sense of mystery.
The king of Qi only saw half of the Oiran Su Mingyue, and he was shocked by the heavens, and he was determined to win.
Seeing Zhang Qianhua so stunning, she vaguely felt that she was not far behind Su Mingyue, and she couldn't help but feel a little out of the sky.
In another box, Wang Fei looked at Zhang Qianhua silently, and his heart set off a turbulent wave.
Hongtai business spreads all over the industry, there is no shortage of inns, green buildings, guild halls, accustomed to warblers and swallows, stunning women.
For Wang Fei, the beauties in the Hongtai firm almost take what they want, and to put it mildly, he has long regarded beauties as dung, no different from wood.
However, when he saw Zhang Qianhua without makeup, Wang Fei's heart was suddenly moved, and he seemed to return to the excitement and expectation of seeing a girl for the first time when he was a teenager.
The three kings, Wu Hong's eyes were straight, thinking about something.
He already knew the destiny of heaven, and there were few things in the world that could attract him except for the chair on the high, but Zhang Qianhua's figure instantly captured him.
When he was young, Wu Hong and Wu Xiongyin, the king of Wei, failed to compete for the throne, and in order to avoid suspicion, Wu Hong tolerated the king of Wei almost everywhere after that.
In this auction, King Qi released a rumor that he wanted to monopolize the Oiran, so Wu Hong originally came just to join in the fun, but at this moment, he said viciously: "Lao Tzu lets you Lao Tzu everywhere, do you want to let you be a kid everywhere?"
It seemed that feeling the restless atmosphere in the venue, Ye Rongfu was very excited, and the harvest of this auction far exceeded expectations.
"The Oiran and Flower Girl auctions have not been held for several years, why? is because Guanghan Palace thinks that the selected beauties have not met the standard they should have in the past few years. ”
Ye Rongfu said excitedly: "This year's Oiran and Hua Niang are very good, and they truly meet the highest standards of the Oiran and Hua Niang of the Guanghan Palace. ”
All of a sudden, the pearls in the venue lit up.
"Hua Niang Xiangjun, the starting price is five thousand taels of silver, and each increase shall not be less than one hundred taels. Ye Rongfu said loudly.
"Ten thousand taels. The steward of King Qi raised his hand and shouted.
There was an uproar in the venue.
"King Qi really has money, and he doubled the price at once. ”
"What do you know? This is the expression of determination by King Qi, showing that he is determined to win, and to scare off other buyers. ”
"Yes, who dares to offend King Qi?"
Sure enough, some of the firms in the field who were originally eager to try things saw this, and they retreated and remained indifferent.
"Twenty thousand taels. In the box, the maid next to Wang Fei raised her hand and shouted.
"Hongtai really deserves to be the first business name in the Northern Wei Dynasty, and it has doubled when it comes up, and he is not afraid of King Qi at all. ”
"What do you know? Behind the Hongtai firm is the crown prince. ”
“......”
Everyone in the venue was quite dissatisfied with such a domineering approach of the two families, but they didn't dare to participate in the auction, so as not to offend the two, so they simply watched the excitement and talked nonsense in a weird way.
"Twenty-one thousand taels. King Qi said.
"Twenty-five thousand taels. "The sudden price increase seems to be quite impatient.
King Qi's housekeeper lowered his head and seemed to be discussing something with Wu Tai.
"Thirty thousand taels. King Qi raised his hand angrily.
Wang Fei's competition with him was intended to undermine his prestige, which he knew very well.
Competing with the crown prince, he mostly chose to retreat.
Even if he was 100 percent unwilling, many things were only a little fighting, and he retreated, so as not to make his father think that he was deliberately targeting the crown prince.
However, if the fight for women also gives in, they will be completely considered defeated and looked down upon, not even men.
And if the prince doesn't even let him be a woman, he will force him into a corner and completely tear his face.
Maybe he realized this, after King Qi shouted out 30,000 taels, Wang Fei stopped bidding, anyway, there is still an Oiran, it is not too late to fight again, let it be a second time, right?
The final blow is often more painful.
"Thirty thousand taels once," Ye Rongfu paused for a moment and looked around, "Thirty thousand two or two ......"
Wu Tai breathed a sigh of relief, although the price was ridiculously high, it was still acceptable.
Although the flesh hurts, not only does he get a beauty, but also shows that he is full of momentum, so that the various wealthy families in the field dare not challenge and offend themselves, which is conducive to the future dispute between the court and the prince.
"Thirty thousand and one hundred taels. From a box in the corner, the voice of the three kings, Wu Hong, came slowly.
"Thirty-one thousand taels. King Qi was stunned and gritted his teeth.
"Thirty-one thousand one hundred taels. Wu Hong still raised his hand slowly and shouted.
Wu Hong seemed to be deliberately angry, and Wu Tai stood up angrily.
"It's only one hundred taels of silver each time the price is raised, third uncle, why do you keep deliberately pressing me a little bit?"
"The third uncle likes to press beauties, when did he press you?"
The three kings were not cold, and said sarcastically: "If I press you, it will not be a little bit, but very deep and heavy." "Puns.
The audience burst into laughter.
"The three kings are really domineering, not only the beauties, but also the kings of Qi. ”
“......”
"Thirty-five thousand taels. Wu Tai's face turned blue with anger and roared.
There was silence in the arena for a while, Wu Tai was already angry, and anyone who spoke out at this time would inevitably be considered a challenge to King Qi.
The three kings seemed to be just trying to anger Wu Tai, and when they saw that he was a little angry, they stopped talking, but this anger made Wu Tai pay an extra 5,000 taels of silver.
Wu Tai gritted his teeth with hatred.
"Thirty-five thousand taels once," Ye Rongfu said with a smile on his face.
This price has set a record for the auction of Hua Niang over the years, and as the auction manager, he certainly feels fortunate and honored.
"Thirty-five thousand two ......" Ye Rongfu raised the gavel.
"Forty thousand taels. ”
Lei Shaoxuan raised his hand.
There was an uproar in the venue.
"Who is it?"
The venue echoed King Qi's cold shout: "Who is against me?"
The eyes of everyone in the audience were fixed on Lei Shaoxuan.
"I really like Hua Niang. ”
"How could it be against King Qi?" Lei Shaoxuan said with an innocent face.
Lei Shaoxuan did not participate in the auction for a long time, and Zhang Qianhua's heart was cold and gradually despaired.
At this moment, the huge surprise almost knocked her down, and she cried with joy, as if she was moved by Lei Shaoxuan's words.
Seeing this, King Qi was even more angry, and was about to raise his hand to bid, but was stopped by the housekeeper.
The housekeeper hurriedly said: "King Qi, we have already released the wind before, and we are aiming for the Oiran." Now that the value of the flower girl has greatly exceeded expectations, if you continue to participate in the flower girl auction, the money you bring will not be enough to participate in the oiran auction. ”
The housekeeper reminded: "At that time, it will be an Oiran auction, and we will become a joke if we have to mortgage and borrow money on the spot or give up the bidding." ”
