Chapter 107: Thirteen thousand two hundred taels
The top of the Daming auction hall is actually exposed a little, therefore, Emperor Hongzhi, the Empress Dowager, Empress Zhang and Zhu Houzhao stood on this top floor and witnessed this unique opening ceremony, and also witnessed the exclamation and praise of the people below.
Of course, Emperor Hongzhi and the others, when they first came in, were also shocked, after all, this kind of bright and dazzling scene was the first time they had seen it.
"Alright, everyone! Welcome to the Daming Auction House, please don't make a fuss, there will be more and more buildings similar to the Daming Auction House in the future, you have to learn to get used to it. Now, under the guidance of Miss Hostess, please take your seats.
These beauties wearing cheongsams are the hostesses of our Daming Auction House.
Uncle Jianchang, what are you doing? Please don't do anything to our hostess. They are the staff of our Daming Auction House, not the geisha you think they are, please respect them. ”
Inside the Daming auction hall, it is oval-shaped, with circles of seats surrounding the central high platform, and at this moment, Li Zhaotong is standing on the high platform, guiding the order for the people who come in to participate in the auction.
Zhang Yanling is actually not in a hurry, this miser who only has money in his eyes, what top beauty has not been seen? These hostesses who came out of the Teaching Workshop Division still can't seduce him.
What he valued was actually the cheongsam on the cheongsam of the hostess standing on the edge of each circle of seats, and he wanted to see what kind of fabric this cheongsam was made of and why it looked so good.
This miser who only has money in his eyes has realized that this cheongsam will definitely be popular in the place of Da Ming Goulan! Even, some powerful wives and young ladies will hide at home and wear them secretly.
It's going to be a big deal!
So, he did something to a hostess standing next to him.
This lady of etiquette has not yet been out of the cabinet, so Zhang Yanling did something to her, and she resisted a little, so her resistance fell into the eyes of Li Zhaotong standing on the high platform.
Then, Li Zhaotong did not hesitate to expose Zhang Yanling's ugly deeds.
This made Emperor Hongzhi and Empress Zhang, who were visiting the auction upstairs, all look dark.
This Zhang Yanling is too embarrassing for the couple.
And this is also what Li Zhaotong wants to achieve.
He just didn't want to make Shou Ninghou and Jian Changbo the two major moths better, these two major moths were much more harmful than the "Zhu" that Zhu Yuanzhang ordered to raise in the era of Zhu Youzhu and Zhu Houzhao!
Moreover, these two moths are still the kind that do not know how to converge, and the majesty of the law and the majesty of the royal family are used to damage in the eyes of these two moths.
It's just because they have a brother and sister who helps them.
Therefore, Li Zhaotong is trying his best to make Empress Zhang feel bad for these two brothers.
……
"Okay, everyone, the auction will start now, because the auctioneers of the Daming Auction House are not familiar with the auction process, so I will preside over the first auction of the Daming Auction House."
No matter how Zhang Yanling would be punished by the disgraced Emperor Hongzhi and Empress Zhang, after everyone sat down, Li Zhaotong began the auction.
"First of all, the first item to be auctioned is the glass mirror that everyone wants. I asked the hostess to bring up the glass mirror. ”
Soon, two hostesses wearing cheongsams lifted the glass treasure mirror.
"Compared with your name for this mirror - glass treasure mirror, I prefer to call it the crown mirror, this name comes from Tang Taizong's evaluation of Wei Zheng: the husband uses copper as a mirror, and he can be dressed properly; With history as a mirror, we can know the rise and fall; With people as a mirror, you can know the gains and losses.
This sentence, when we made this clothed mirror, we have engraved it on the frame of the mirror to add to the cultural atmosphere of this mirror.
This cloak mirror, except for some patterns that can only be used by the royal family, is the same as the cloak mirror in His Majesty's Qianqing Palace and the cloak mirror in Jiao Shilang's house.
The auction will start now, starting with three thousand taels of silver, and each increase in price shall not be less than one hundred taels.
Now I repeat the auction rules here, when someone bids, I will repeat this price here up to three times, if I repeat it three times, before the final decision, no one offers a higher price, then the auction item belongs to the bidder.
If there is no bid, the lot will be lost, and we will return the lot to the sender.
In addition, after the auction is over, the bidder should go to our settlement counter to pay the money and deliver the goods with one hand, if you can't come up with so much money, then sorry, this auction item cannot be given to you, in addition, the auction deposit you paid cannot be refunded to you.
Okay, that's it for the rules, now the bidding begins. ”
"Four thousand taels."
Shouning Marquis Zhang Heling thought that he was most familiar with this set of rules, so he increased the price by one thousand taels as quickly as possible, hoping to bluff others.
However, his plan will ultimately fail.
If he hadn't sold the dress mirror for 10,000 taels of silver on the chessboard street before, the price of the 4,000 taels of silver would really have scared others, after all, this is a 1,000 taels increase at once, and other people may not dare to increase the price if they don't know whether the 4,000 taels are making or losing.
However, with the price of 10,000 taels in front, will everyone still be worried?
"Five thousand taels!"
"Seven thousand taels!"
……
"Thirteen thousand two hundred taels!"
"Thirteen thousand two hundred taels, one time."
"Thirteen thousand two hundred taels, twice."
"Thirteen thousand two hundred taels, three times!"
"Bang!"
"Deal! Congratulations to Qingyunhou for obtaining this cloak mirror at a price of 13,200 taels. ”
"Li Gongzi, I want to give this cloak mirror to my sister, the Empress Dowager, please arrange it, and send this cloak mirror directly to the Empress Dowager's car later, I will go to the settlement counter to pay for the thirteen,200 taels of silver."
"Okay!"
Qingyun Hou Zhou Shou is the younger brother of the Empress Dowager, this Empress Dowager is not much worse than Empress Zhang, she is also a demon who helps her younger brother, his younger brother Qingyun Hou Zhou Shou and Changning Bo Zhou Yu are also wanton super moths, these two people are not inferior to the Zhang family brothers.
However, these two old goods have begun to restrain a little recently, because the Queen Mother is getting older and older, and they know very well in their hearts that if the Queen Mother dies, their lives may not be easy.
Therefore, this Qingyun Marquis Zhou Shou was very smart, and when he knew that the Empress Dowager and Emperor Hongzhi were coming, he auctioned the jackpot at a high price and gave it to the Empress Dowager to express his filial piety to his sister, and also to let Emperor Hongzhi see that he respected the Empress Dowager very much, so that Emperor Hongzhi was impressed by him.
Li Zhaotong also knew what he was thinking, so he didn't worry about Zhou Shou daring not to pay, and generously agreed.
Zhou Shou's plan was successful.
Second floor.
"Emperor, this Qingyun Marquis is good, he knows how to honor the palace, and the palace will grow old after taking it, you have to take care of them!"
"Imperial grandmother, you are in good health and can live for many years, don't say these unlucky words, Qingyunhou is really doing well today, much better than Jianchangbo, I am very pleased!"
The Ming Dynasty ruled the world with filial piety, and the behavior of Qingyun Hou did make Emperor Hongzhi, who was embarrassed because of Jianchangbo just now, feel relieved, and he thought: Relatives are not all waste! This Qingyunhou has finally grown a little.
