Chapter 120: Raising Money
Chapter 216 Raising Money Everywhere
Speechless all night, early the next morning, Bai Fu, the housekeeper of King Mu's mansion, brought eight thousand taels of silver tickets, which together with the seven thousand taels last night, made up a full fifteen thousand taels.
Wanbao Pavilion is located on East Street, when Mu Qianxue and his party arrived, Wanbao Pavilion had not yet opened, but there was already a long queue outside, a bit like the people waiting for the rice soup porridge, but the people standing here were all noble sons in brocade clothes; They gathered in groups and whispered to each other, glancing at the closed door from time to time.
After waiting for almost a pillar of incense, the door of the Wanbao Pavilion finally opened slowly, and two strong men stood at the door like iron towers, and a table was set up behind them, and a middle-aged man who looked like a tent was sitting there.
The team slowly moved forward, Xia Yue's sharp eyes saw that everyone who went in would stuff a stack of paper into the middle-aged man's hand, and every time the middle-aged man accepted it, he would bow his head and write a few strokes, she asked curiously, "Butler Bai, what are they doing?" β
Bai Fu smiled, "This is stuffing silver tickets." β
"Silver ticket?" Xia Yue said in surprise: "Why did you give him a silver ticket?" "It's reasonable to say that you can give a few taels of silver, but everyone is stuffed with a thick stack of silver tickets, or a thousand taels at least, which is too unusual.
"The rules of Wanbao Pavilion are that the silver brought by anyone must be handed over to the account room here, and he will keep it in a unified manner, once the bid at the auction exceeds the silver ticket he brought, he will be disqualified, as for the silver ticket, hehe, it will not be returned; In addition, if it is less than 5,000 taels, you will not even be eligible to enter the Wanbao Pavilion. β
Xia Yue said in disbelief: "This ...... What kind of rule is this, it's simply a money grab. β
Bai Fu smiled and said, "If you don't like this rule, you can choose to leave, but once you step into the Ten Thousand Treasure Pavilion, you must abide by it, and no one can be an exception; However, Wanbao Pavilion is very honest, as long as there is no violation of the rules, when the guests leave, they must present the silver tickets for safekeeping, and there will be no less. β
While speaking, it was their turn, Mu Qianxue handed over all the 15,000 taels of silver tickets to the account room, who was a little surprised when he saw that it was a woman, and looked at Mu Qianxue, who was covered with white gauze, and said, "What is the girl's surname?" β
"The little girl's surname is Mu." After getting Mu Qianxue's words, the tent nodded, wrote down the seven words "Mu's, 15,000 silver" in the book, and reminded when he handed over a sign that read "Seventeen", "Miss Mu just sit in this position, and Miss Mu wants to come to our Wanbao Pavilion for the first time, remind me that when the auction is held, the maximum shall not exceed 15,000 taels, otherwise not only will the auction be invalidated, but these silver tickets will also be confiscated." β
"The little girl understands, thank you sir for the reminder." Mu Qianxue took the sign and walked in with Xia Yue and others, don't look at the small and inconspicuous faΓ§ade of Wanbao Pavilion, but the inside is spacious and rich, the tables and chairs are placed in a staggered manner, and each table is separated by a screen painted with flowers of the four seasons, to ensure that the guests at each table are not disturbed by each other, a total of about 30 tables, more than this number, Wanbao Pavilion will no longer receive, and the late guests can only return disappointed.
More than thirty tables were quickly filled, and some maids served fragrant tea and snacks and the catalog list of today's auction one by one, and the first thing listed on it surprised Xia Yue, "Eastern Han Dynasty Bronze Ding? It has been a thousand years since the fall of the Eastern Han Dynasty, even in the palace, it is difficult to find the things of the Eastern Han Dynasty, where did the Wanbao Pavilion come from? β
"This is the magic of the Ten Thousand Treasure Pavilion, you can always find rare treasures in the world." Saying that, Bai Fu took the roster and looked at them one by one, and when he found the half of the art of war book that Mu Qianxue wanted at the bottom, his brows suddenly twisted into a Sichuan character.
Mu Qianxue noticed the change in his expression and said, "What's wrong?" β
Bai Fu said with a somber expression: "Princess Qiyu, all the treasures listed at the end are the finale treasures of Wanbao Pavilion, and the starting price is 10,000 taels, and according to the several times that the slave followed the prince to Wanbao Pavilion, none of the finale treasures were sold at a final price of less than 30,000 taels!" β
"Thirty thousand taels?" Xia Yue was speechless, and then remembered the problem they were facing at the moment, "We only brought fifteen thousand taels, according to what Manager Bai said, isn't it impossible to take this half of the Art of War book?" β
Bai Fu was also puzzled, "Every time the finale of Wanbao Pavilion is a rare and rare thing in the world. Speaking of this, he arched his hand towards Mu Qianxue and said, "Forgive the slave for daring to ask, what is the magic of this half of the art of war book that can be listed as a rare treasure." β
"The formations listed in this book are of great help to the battle between the two armies, and it is not an exaggeration to say that they are rare and rare." After answering vaguely, Mu Qianxue frowned and said, "This Wanbao Pavilion can accept raises?" β
"It's okay, but it's ......" Bai Fu said embarrassedly: "For a while, where to find tens of thousands of taels of silver, the fifteen thousand taels just now are all that the prince can mobilize, if you want to raise more, it will take a few days, but Wanbao Pavilion will not wait." β
Mu Qianxue gritted her teeth tightly, the art of war map is very important to Dongfang Su, you must get it, it's just ...... A penny is still forcing heroes to death, let alone tens of thousands of taels of silver.
The pink peach blossoms are quietly blooming in the white glaze flower arrangement, and in the early days of February, although the spring is gradually rising, it is not yet the time when the peach blossoms are in full bloom, and I don't know what method this Wanbao Pavilion used, so that the peach blossoms bloom more than a month in advance.
After a short silence, Mu Qianxue said: "Nineteen, you go to King Rui's mansion, ask King Rui to find a way, calculate the time, this time should have been the next dynasty." β
Xia Yue's eyelids jumped, and she said hesitantly: "Princess, the prince is still angry with you, this is busy...... Will he help? β
"The priority of the matter, I believe that the prince will definitely help with this." As she spoke, she said to Nineteen: "There is not much time, go quickly, you can raise as much as you can, here...... I dragged it as much as I could. β
"I see." Nineteen knew that the matter was urgent, so he quickly left Wanbao Pavilion, untied the horse on the carriage, and galloped all the way to the Rui Wang's Mansion.
The gray-haired porter saw that she was the only one, and said in surprise, "Why are you here, princess?" β
"I have an urgent matter to find the prince, is he back?"
"I just came back, I should be in Nanxuan at this time." Before the porter's words fell, Nineteen was already dressed and rushed in, much to the concierge's surprise, it was the first time he saw Nineteen so anxious, and he didn't know what was wrong.
When I arrived at Nanxuan, I saw that Dongfang was inside, but another person was also there.
Zhao Pingqing looked at Nineteen who had trespassed in surprise without passing the word, "Are you ...... Nineteen girls beside the princess? β
