Chapter 21: The Treasure Pavilion Auction
Huaxi sat in the account room of the teahouse to sort out the accounts, time flew fast, and in a blink of an eye, the teahouse had been open for more than a month. Huaxi looked at the numbers on the account and was very satisfied. Since its opening, the tea house business has been getting better and better. Now guests can only enter with theater tickets, which have been fried from 10 taels to 100 taels, plus the money from selling tea, and now they can be regarded as making a lot of money. After finishing the accounts, Huaxi happily came to the small gate of Leifu with the account book, knocked on the door, and was taken by Lingxu to see Tonggu who was lazily lying on a rocking chair basking in the sun.
"Huaxi has seen a girl, a girl Fu'an." Huaxi Shi salutes to see Tonggu.
Tonggu helped him and said, "It's really like a flower, what makes you happy like this?" ”
Huaxi handed over the monthly account to Tonggu Dao: "Girl, please look, the teahouse has only been open for more than a month, not only to recover the cost, but also to have a surplus of three thousand taels." The slave exchanged the money for a silver ticket and brought it to the girl. ”
Tonggu took the account book and the silver ticket, and his smile was even more than Huaxi. "Sure enough, I'm as discerning as a torch and I didn't see the wrong person, I really have you." After reading the accounts, Tonggu asked suspiciously, "Why is there no dividend record for your two sisters here?" ”
Huaxi lowered her head and wrung her handkerchief, and said with teary eyes: "The slaves and maids have gotten enough, don't dare to ask for it anymore." The slave and maid sisters can get rid of the sea of suffering, get this shelter, and rely on business to suppress the unrighteous people of the Hua family. This opportunity for revenge is something that our sisters never dared to think of before, but now that they have realized it thanks to the girl's favor, they are already grateful to the girl in their hearts, and they dare not get more. ”
Tonggu patted Huaxi on the shoulder and comforted: "Okay, you are my person now, how can I tolerate Hua Jiabai bullying you." It's just one yard to one yard, and if I treat you badly, I can't bear it. Tonggu said as he handed over the three thousand taels of silver tickets to Huaxi and said, "You take out one thousand taels and give them to the two sisters as dividends, this is an order that cannot be refused." Take out another 1,000 taels as the cash silver of the teahouse. The remaining 1,000 taels went to find a shop and opened a medical clinic for Bai Ze. ”
Huaxi knelt down with tears in her eyes to thank her, and should go to the hospital on an errand. Huaxi's ability to do things is very strong, and he is busy with the teahouse Zhang Luo Medical Hall. There was originally an inn next to the teahouse, and the teahouse has been crowded in the past month. Huaxi has been with the innkeeper for more than a month and has some friendship. The premises of this inn are excellent, and the boss put a lot of thought into building the house, but unfortunately it is not well managed, and he can't make ends meet. Huaxi found the boss and negotiated a price that everyone was satisfied with and put the inn down. But Huaxi had never set foot in the medical hall business, and he didn't know what the medical hall needed, so he had to make a trick to wait for the rabbit. I first made a plaque for a medical hall to hang up, but it was not opened, and I only said that it was cleaning up. Those who do business with the medical center come to the door one by one and sell their goods. Everything was carried out step by step under Huaxi's arrangement. Bai Ze was not idle, and inspected the goods sent one by one, especially in terms of medicinal materials, Bai Ze was very strict. Now the only thing that makes Huaxi worry is the candidate for the big shopkeeper, after all, Huaxi still has to supervise the teahouse, and he really lacks skills. The position of the chief shopkeeper of the medical hall is very important, to control the store at a macro level, whether it is operation or management, you need to do it yourself, but Bai Ze is a medical idiot who doesn't know how to operate at all, and only knows how to treat diseases and save people. In desperation, Huaxi had no choice but to ask her own girl. But Tonggu couldn't think of a suitable candidate for a while, and the opening of the Treasure Pavilion was imminent, so Tonggu had to put this matter aside again.
"Three sisters, three sisters." A voice broke Tonggu's musings, only to see Tongdai scurrying in.
Every time Tonggu saw this sister, his heart would be filled with a trace of joy, and Tonggu took the person into the front hall and sat down and asked, "Why is the sixth sister here?" ”
"Third sister, I'm going to celebrate my birthday, my little mother said that she was going to hold a banquet in the courtyard, and my father agreed to this matter as far as our own family was concerned. Can the third sister come? Tong Dai looked at Tong Gu with an expectant expression.
"If it's someone else, it's just that, the birthday of the sixth sister, the third sister, I will definitely be there." Tonggu pinched Tongdai's little fleshy face and looked at this sister dotingly.
Tong Dai was not disgusted, rubbed her face and said, "Great, third sister, you don't have to prepare a birthday ceremony, just come." ”
Tonggu felt more and more that this sister was cute, and her round little face looked like a steamed bun, which made people want to take a bite. Suddenly, a trace of doubt came to his heart, and Tonggu took Tong Dai's little hand and asked, "The Zhao family also agreed?" Will all the people in their houses go? ”
Tong Dai nodded, and said with a pair of pear vortex smiles on her face: "Agreed, Zhao also said that he would do it for me, and today he also found a tailor to give me a measuring stick, and planned to make me new clothes." ”
Tonggu snorted coldly and said: "Nothing to be courteous, either a traitor or a thief, it seems that the Zhao family has a careful mind." ”
"Third sister, my little mother said the same thing. My lady also asked me to remind you to be careful. Tong Dai said with her hands on her round chin.
"I know, the sixth sister doesn't have to worry, the sister has her own measure." Tong Gu patted Tong Dai's little head.
The two sisters chatted for a while, and then they went their separate ways. Tsuya paced around the room, thinking about what to give.
Lingxu came in with tea, and when he saw Tonggu walking around like a night wanderer, he coughed lightly and said, "Girl, what are you doing here?" ”
Tonggu pulled over the Lingxu and asked eagerly, "What do the average girl family like?" As soon as the words came out, she felt that she had asked the wrong person, this spirit ruin was a killer, how could she know the preferences of the deep girl.
Lingxu said without thinking: "I like jewelry and something." ”
Tonggu once again sighed at the value of this slave's purchase, the top can be a killer, the bottom can be a scoundrel, the left can be a servant, and the right can be a strategist. "What kind of jewelry can you get your hands on?"
"The best is jadeite, then all kinds of precious stones, and finally gold and silver." Lingxu said naturally.
Tonggu understood, hugged Lingxu and kissed him, saying, "You are really my baby." After saying that, he drove Lingxu out of the room, Lingxu was stunned, how could he be kicked out as soon as he said that he was a baby? I really can't figure out the girl's mind.
After a few days of leisure, Diao Shuhua came to Lei Mansion, "Good sister, I haven't seen my sister for a few days, I miss my sister." ”
"My sister is so radiant today, but what happy events do you have to share with your sister?" Tonggu played Tai Chi with Diao Shuhua.
"Good sister, the Treasure Pavilion has opened. It's like what my sister said she just does. In short, there is no fanfare, and His Royal Highness has also found the first batch of guests, sister, look, when did we start the auction that you said? Diao Shuhua was struggling to speak for the first time, and she was confused by the novel words of Tonggu.
"My sister is really a woman, I didn't expect things to be arranged so properly in just a few days. I'm going to take the treasure to the Treasure Pavilion today, and the first auction will be presided over by the maid next to me. "Tonggu has not been idle these days, moving out some of the treasures of the old nest, and teaching Lingxu to recognize treasures and say treasures.
Diao Shuhua clapped her hands and said, "My sister is so good, I'll go back and prepare now." Then the auction will start tonight, and my sister will not be gone. ”
"Okay." Tsuya replied with a smile.
Tonggu Youshi transported the things to the Treasure Pavilion. Diao Shuhua's location is very in line with Tonggu's thoughts, and the shop is open between a jewelry store and an antique shop. The purpose of this is to allow customers to see the difference between goods, and those who know the industry know the truth of shopping around. The entrance to the Treasure Pavilion is narrow, and it will be enough for two people to walk side by side. After entering the door, you can see a two-story spacious space, which is to gather the wind in Tibet, Diao Shuhua still uses her thoughts. There is a small table in the center of the store, which is enough for five people to stand, and the table made of high-purity gold for half of the people on the table is very eye-catching. Tonggu instructed Lingxu to prepare, and he went to the private room on the second floor that had already been prepared. All the private rooms here are transparent, but they are all equipped with curtains, just enough to see the bright objects below, but not to let others see them. Diao Shuhua's mind can be described as meticulous, and it is not unreasonable to be reused by the four princes.
Various characters came to the Treasure Pavilion one after another, and it didn't take long for the seats to be filled. A shopkeeper-like person came to the stage and said: "Since ancient times, treasures have not been worried about gold, and treasures are easy to find but not easy to find. All of you have come here today to find treasures, and only treasures in the world are the most rare. When all the nobles entered the door, they got a golden cake, as long as the gold cake was raised, they could ask for the price, and the small one wished all the nobles a full return. ”
After the shopkeeper stepped down, Lingxu took the little servant to carry the two boxes to the stage, and Lingxu opened the box and took out two crystal unicorns and said, "The first lot, a pair of crystal unicorns." White crystal texture, flawless throughout, exquisitely clear, starting at 50,000 taels. ”
Everyone increased the price, and then sold it for fifteen million taels.
Lingxu took out the second one and said: "The second lot, two pairs of three-color glazed horses......"
Lingxu took out the lots one after another, and everyone increased the price one after another. Everything went very smoothly, and finally the last lot that Tsuya had prepared arrived.
Lingxu carefully placed the big box on the table, but it didn't open it. "Ladies and gentlemen, this treasure is a shocking product, so the blind auction starts at five million taels of gold." Lingxu deliberately emphasized the word gold.
Everyone began to whisper, after all, they hadn't seen the real thing, and no one dared to risk so much money easily. Suddenly, a voice broke the deadlock, "I will give six million taels of gold" only to hear a son in the private room on the east side of the second floor. Then everyone began to try and prepare to bid, and in the end, it turned into a scramble.
"Deal, the noble man won this rare treasure with 10 million taels of gold." As soon as Lingxu's voice fell, the room suddenly became dark.
After a while, the room lit up again. I saw that the light source came from the big night pearl on the stage, and a bead instantly illuminated the entire Treasure Pavilion, which was no less bright than modern lights. This bead was actually not naturally generated, but a kidney stone of Ran Long that Tonggu accidentally picked up during his early cultivation. This stone has spirituality, and Tonggu has always stayed by his side, and every time he cultivates, the stone has sensed it, and over time, the stone itself can emit light. Tonggu thought that ancient people liked night pearls, and this size bead was estimated to become a rare treasure, so Tonggu took out this kidney stone.
Suddenly, a dark shadow flashed, and the smoke spread, and the room became pitch black. When the candle flame was lit again, the beads had already gone without wings.
