After anxiously waiting, the time finally slowly came to noon.

"Open door and welcome!"

With Chai Jin's high voice, the first auction house in the Northern Song Dynasty finally unraveled his mystery and opened it to the world.

Wang Lun personally welcomed Cai Jing, Tong Guan, Gao Yu and other powerful people in the court outside, and arranged them into a private room on the second floor.

In this auction room, due to the tight schedule, the so-called private rooms are just independent spaces separated by two wooden boards.

But it was much better in the hall below.

The hall is set up in the shape of a funnel.

In the center is a high platform for auctioning goods, surrounded by terraced rice fields, with a long row of simple tables and a row of benches on each step for visitors to sit and rest.

Slowly, there was a commotion in the hall.

As time went on, the benches in the hall were full, and those who came in behind had no place to sit, so they had to stand there.

After a while, Zhao Ji was dressed in civilian clothes and walked into the auction hall accompanied by the emperor's eldest son, Zhao Heng.

The lively scene in front of him made Zhao Ji stunned for a while.

Once upon a time, he had seen such a lively scene?

Wang Lun hurriedly welcomed Zhao Ji to the private room in the center of the second floor.

"Your Majesty, the auction is about to start now, and the first auction item is your thousand-character text." Wang Lun said in a voice on the side.

"Well, let's get started!" Zhao Ji said.

"Then the emperor, I'll be busy." Wang Lun said hello to Zhao Ji and withdrew.

Went into the head against the firewood.

Chai Jin understood, hurriedly walked to the high platform in the center, and said to everyone: "Everyone be quiet, now I announce that this auction has begun!" First of all, we invite our auctioneer Wang Lun to the scene! ”

Wang Lun stepped onto the high platform and first said to everyone: "Ladies and gentlemen, hello everyone, I will preside over this auction today. First of all, I will explain to you the rules of our auction, I hope you can listen carefully. ”

Then Wang Lun briefly explained some precautions for the auction.

After finishing, Wang Lun looked at the crowd: "Today's auction is the Mobao "Thousand Character Text" by Dang Jinzi, which was personally handed over to this auction by Dang Jinzi, and it is definitely genuine. ”

This is Master Li and a beautiful woman, two people carrying the masterpiece of Zhao Ji, walking up and showing it to everyone around.

There was a sound of surprise at the scene.

I don't know if I was surprised that Zhao Ji would take out his ink treasure for auction. I was still surprised by Master Li's beauty.

None of that matters, though.

"Okay, let's start bidding now, the low price is 1,000 taels of silver, and each time you pay more than 100 taels!" Wang Lun shouted.

After shouting, Wang Lun watched quietly.

One minute, two minutes......

Time passed slowly, but no one was bidding.

Wang Lunhe frowned, his eyes swept towards the private rooms on the second floor, these guys, don't they know that Zhao Ji is sitting upstairs, why don't they just pat on the back?

Helpless, Wang Lun could only vaguely look at a dark corner.

"Fifteen hundred taels!"

Finally someone started bidding.

Wang Lun breathed a sigh of relief, pointed to the man in black in a corner and said, "One thousand five hundred taels, one thousand five hundred taels!" ”

"One thousand six hundred taels!"

Someone else made a bid, but Wang Lun knew that it was all the childcare he arranged.

"One thousand six hundred taels! Is there anything higher? Wang Lun shouted excitedly to the audience.

"Two thousand taels!" At this time, there was finally movement in the private room on the stage.

"Two thousand five hundred taels!" Another voice in the hall said.

"Three thousand taels!" Another voice said.

Wang Lun was relieved to see that someone had finally started to bargain, so he stood aside and watched the play.

In the end, the thousand-character text was bought by a wealthy merchant at a high price of 8,000 taels.

Immediately after that, there was an auction of several items that were scavenged from the harem, and basically all of them were sold for a good price, and they were all sold by some wealthy merchants.

"Hehe, this piece on auction now is the latest invention of our Celestial Empire, he has accurate the time to the unit of minutes, that is, the quarter of an hour we talked about before, here it becomes fifteen minutes, and the original hour has become two hours here. This will change our human beings on a unit of measurement of time, with epoch-making significance, this mechanical clock is currently only three, one in the palace, one in the Taishifu, and the remaining one is the one we are now auctioning, I believe everyone, there is a mechanical clock like this at home, it will definitely be a face-saving thing! Well, now it's a bid, and the low price is still a thousand taels! ”

After Wang Lun finished the introduction, he looked at everyone.

After the previous rounds of auctions, now everyone is familiar with this way of trading, as soon as they saw the appearance of this mechanical clock, countless eyes suddenly turned red, especially those dignitaries on the second floor, one by one competing to bid!

Soon the price had climbed to 200,000 taels of silver, but the price was still rising.

But at this moment, a voice suddenly came from inside the hall.

"Three hundred thousand taels," a middle-aged man dressed in Liao service stood up and shouted.

"Four hundred thousand taels!" At this moment, a merchant in the hall stood up and said.

"Humph! This bell is going to be set in our Daliao, 500,000! Jerodine stood up and said loudly.

Jerodin made such a fuss, and no one dared to ask for a price in the future.

Those powerful ministers of the Great Song Dynasty were certainly afraid, and the merchants below also came to compete with Yeluding because they didn't have so much money.

In the end, Wang Lun sold the mechanical clock in his hand to Ye Luding for 500,000 silver.

When Cai Jing saw this scene again, his heart twitched, it turned out that the gift given to him by Wang Lun was so valuable.

500,000 taels of silver, that's 500,000 yuan!

Thinking about his son-in-law, who only gave himself 100,000 yuan a year, Cai Jing really wanted to recruit Wang Lun as his son-in-law immediately.

Immediately afterwards, Wang Lun also auctioned some things.

"Okay, everyone, this is the end of our auction, of course, you can also come to us if you need to auction in the future, we will hold an auction for you at any time." Wang Lun faced a group of unfinished humanitarians.

…………

Wu Dalang went out to sell baked cakes again.

Pan Jinlian was drinking sullen wine at home alone.

Wu Song was sent to the capital by the county order, and she was really afraid that Wu Song would never return.

These days, Pan Jinlian is looking forward to it every day, hoping that Wu Song can come back as soon as possible.

Although Wu Song had already told her clearly that it was impossible for them.

However, she felt that as long as Wu Song was by her side, what did it matter if it was an uncle-sister-in-law relationship or a husband and wife relationship?

As long as you can see the body of the tyrant every day, you can do it.

That's her greatest wish.

Now, he has also accepted the reality and wholeheartedly made Wuda his husband.

Suddenly, he heard someone talking outside, could it be that his uncle had returned?

Pan Jinlian hurriedly ran to the window, pushed it open, and looked out...... (To be continued.) )
