Chapter 308 Auction (2)
Such bidding rules, or borrowed from the charity auction form of later generations, plus some interesting changes, as early as the establishment of Rongbao auction has begun to be adopted, in recent years has been familiar to the nobles and high-ranking officials in the capital, with the exchange of relatives and friends, for the official slowly spread to many places.
At this time, this method is adopted, not only will not appear abrupt, but also make people feel honored, after all, this auction method still has a certain relaxed atmosphere, watch a little innocuous joke, but can enhance the relationship between people, so, slowly it has become a small channel for people at the same level to communicate and compare.
Yes, such auctions are usually held between people who are basically at the same level, and it is an honor to be able to participate in them exceptionally.
Since it is a kind of glory, then of course there will be many responders, more guests will come, and there will be more things to bring to auction, so it is not everyone who can have the opportunity to send a fake, but randomly selected after arriving at the scene, the invitation card indicates that you want to bring a fake and a genuine product to participate in the auction, fortunately Rong Bao Zhai uses a new type printing machine, otherwise so many invitation cards, it is really not good to make it!
Although there are many people, there is an unwritten rule in Rong Bao Zhai's regular or unspecified additional auctions, that is, religious people, that is, monks, Taoist priests, imams, missionaries, as well as foreigners, Dongying Japanese people, and opium smokers are not allowed to enter!
This rule is only for buyers, not sellers, which means that these people can put things up for auction but can't participate in the purchase!
The reason why religious people are not allowed to participate is because they generally do not participate, who has ever seen monks, Taoist priests, and nuns come to the auction to bid with signs?
Foreigners are not allowed to participate because there are special auctions for them twice a year in spring and autumn. The foreigners mentioned here refer to all foreigners outside the Qing Dynasty, including the vassal states to which the Qing Dynasty belonged. The reason given is very simple, the foreigners do not understand the language and communicate inconveniently, so in order to facilitate them, they will hold a special auction for them, and it is also convenient for them to communicate better.
However, the actual situation is that these two special auctions are all inspected by Su Baiyu, the owner, and the auction items will never appear in the auction hall for heavy weapons, national treasures, and even the official kiln products of various dynasties!
This has to be said that Su Baiyu and Xi Qing often keep the national treasures of later generations by foreigners, and the Chinese people want to take them back. A small revenge with countless efforts.
The strength of the two of them is not much, and there is not much they can do, and at the same time, they will add some workload to themselves. may do a little bit is a little, at least worthy of their conscience, I believe that any Chinese son and daughter of the new era who has the ability and consciousness to wear it back will do this~~
Ahem, blushing. Float away......
As for the fact that Dongying Japanese and opium smokers are not allowed to participate, it is an iron law that is almost explicitly stipulated by Su Baiyu, Xi Qing, Yinzhen, Yinyou, Yinyu, and Yinzhen!
Not for any particular reason, it's discrimination! Discrimination in the red fruit!!
This can be regarded as a little deep-rooted complex between Su Baiyu and Xi Qing, two little angry youths~
Well...... Speaking of which, after all these years of subtle change, it has really affected many people's perception of these two kinds of people, at least Yinzhen, Yinyou, Yinyu, and Yinzhen brothers have clearly begun to despise these two kinds of people.
The same rules are applied in their shops and in their dealings. Even Prince Yinren joined in the fun, and the combined power of this combination really can't be said to be small.
Of course. In fact, this qiΔ has also been tacitly approved by Emperor Kangxi, who has always boasted of being a wise emperor, and hopes that his achievements can surpass that of Emperor Qin, Han Wu, Tang Dynasty and Song Ancestors, and at the same time, the inheritance of Central Plains culture is also taken for granted, so the treasures left by the ancestors. Why sell to foreigners?
It should be left to the children and grandchildren of the Aixin Jueluo family~~
Whether it is out of this consideration or not, in short, from the Emperor Kangxi. Now even the official kiln porcelain will not be rewarded to the missionaries, there are no good things, the silver tickets issued by the household department are not stingy, these silver tickets can not be used outside the Qing Dynasty, so spend these silver on the land of the Qing Dynasty, enhance the prosperity of commerce, it is also a good drop~~
I have to say that some of Emperor Kangxi's concepts have also slowly changed imperceptibly.
As for not allowing the Dongying Japanese people to participate in the sale, it was even more secretly praised by Kangxi, the history of the Japanese people rampant in the land of China is too long, and countless Han people have an extremely bad impression of the Japanese people, so even in order to win the hearts of some Han people, this prohibition is not written on the surface, but it is strictly enforced, and it gradually has a tendency to spread to more businesses......
Ahem, thinking about it, thinking that this thought went astray again, Su Baiyu shook his head slightly, rubbed his hands, and re-examined the few treasures he had just checked, and found that he had not misjudged because of his distraction, and he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and with a light wave of his right hand, he asked people to send these few things to the front for auction, and his left hand had already stretched out to the next item on the side.
This is also a brocade box made of specially customized purple water white feather pattern jacquard brocade, a small hydrangea with colorful tassels on one side, it looks so exquisite, the whole brocade box does not have half of the 'Rong Bao Zhai' shop pΓΉ name, but people who know the goods know it, and they all know that this is a unique packaging box of Rong Bao Zhai.
Hehe, Princess Minjia personally drew and designed, Jiangning Weaving Mansion specially opened and weaved, and even the little hydrangea was made with feather dark flowers, in order to make it beautiful and exquisite, Su Baiyu also made a lot of money.
"Master, this is a pair of white glazed lotus porcelain bowls from Yuhengdang five days ago, although the shape is a little strange, but it is well preserved, and the reserve price is one hundred and twenty taels of silver."
Through the light gauze bead curtain, the fat shopkeeper replied with a trembling voice, looking at his fat ass is very difficult to sit on the edge of the small footstool, and the eunuch Xiaoluzi standing next to him is always worried that he will fall, and at the same time he is a little distressed about the mahogany footstool, alas, it is a good thing, it looks like it will fall apart in a while~~
Through the silk handkerchief, he carefully took out the shallow small bowl from the brocade box, and looked at the light for a long time, and the corner of Su Baiyu's mouth floated out faintly: "This thing is left, Mama Qian." β
"Mama Xie. Host...... Master, isn't this thing? Shopkeeper Hu's fingers trembled slightly, and he took the one hundred and twenty taels of silver handed over by Mama Qian and put it on the ground on the side, knelt on the carpet, and asked with a trembling lip.
Although he knew that his master was Princess Minjia of the dynasty, this was the first time he had seen the master's Yurong, of course, he couldn't see Su Baiyu's face through the curtain bead curtain, but the eunuchs and palace maids standing next to him had already frightened him, a shrewd shopkeeper who had dealt with antiques all his life, and at this time he realized that he might have hit his eyes, and the little liver was even more abruptly jumping, and he was about to jump out of his throat.
Look at this meaning, since the silver is given, it means that there is nothing wrong with it, but if it is really careless and sells the treasure and misses it, the princess is angry, and she will not explain her three hundred catties?
"Not necessarily, stay first, and wait for the palace to take a look at it." Su Baiyu was also a little unsure at this time, but in line with the principle of preferring to make a mistake and not letting it go, she still carefully put the small bowl into the brocade box and pushed it to the other side of the big mahogany table, planning to take it back for a while and let Lao Kang help him take a long look.
Whining...... Master~~Little Master~~ You might as well simply give our old Hu a knife~~ This ...... This blunt knife cuts meat and boils soup over slow heat, are you planning to boil the slave dry?
Shopkeeper Hu's heart is even more abrupt now, sweat and tears are all pouring out, that's called a pitiful~~
The little eunuchs and little palace maids who were standing on the side covered their mouths and snickered one by one, it's not that they don't have sympathy, it's just that the appearance of this fat shopkeeper is really cute!
"Silence! What does this look like?! Master~The slave is back~~"
The north wind was busy with two brocade boxes and turned in from behind the screen, and when he saw the situation outside, he hurriedly reprimanded those little eunuchs in a low voice, and then walked in while whispering while picking up the curtain tent, and handed the brocade box to Moli after beating Qian'er to salute, and asked curiously: "Master, what's wrong with the fat shopkeeper outside?" How do you have a handful of snot and a handful of tears? β
"Huh? Oh, shopkeeper Hu, you go and rest first, don't be in a hurry at this time. Xiaoluzi ~ It's hot, go and make a hand towel board for the shopkeeper Hu, and enjoy a bowl of chilled sour plum soup. Su Baiyu raised his eyes and glanced at Beifeng in surprise, and as soon as his eyes rolled, he understood the mystery, raised his voice to soothe, and then asked, "The thing was shot back?" β
"Yes. a total of three thousand six hundred taels of silver. Master, the slave saw that Deputy Commander Zhou beside the emperor was also bargaining, and then he seemed to recognize the minion, so he didn't continue to shout. Beifeng's brows furrowed slightly, and he said with some uneasiness in his heart.
Hearing this, Su Baiyu almost squirted out a mouthful of sour plum soup, unfortunately squirted the sour plum soup into the trachea, and coughed wildly while staring at the north wind, coughing several times and finally gasping for breath, and without bothering to wipe the corners of his mouth, the thumb cocked out: "Cow!" You're the best! North Wind~~ You really have a long ability~~ You dare to grab what Huang Ama wants?! β
"Lord...... Master~~ Don't be sarcastic about the minion, isn't the minion a step slower? When the minions came back to their senses, Deputy Commander Zhou left a back~~ You, you are about to save the minions~~" Beifeng cried and did not laugh or explain, pitifully begging, tears rolling in his eyes.
Before Su Baiyu could continue to tease the north wind, he heard a familiar laugh behind the curtain: "Yo~ So lively?" Yu'er, Ama was afraid that you would be lonely here, but I didn't expect you to be more lively here than outside~"
