Chapter 207: The Auction I

I saw that the entrance is a zigzag verandah, looking at the red sour wood floor that winds to the end and the carvings on the walls on both sides of the verandah decorated with red sour wood look elegant and simple and solemn and luxurious, the thick red makes many people's eyes slowly begin to redden, although this red sour branch wood is not the best mahogany, but it is also a scarce thing, in this is actually used for floor and wall decoration, how much strength does this have? Wouldn't it be to move all the red sour branches and trees in the entire Ming Dynasty here as decoration? Many guests couldn't help but think. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info hollow carved into the flecks of fine candlelight, take a closer look, the walls on both sides of the verandah are also hung a piece of celebrity calligraphy and painting, although not particularly precious, but also valuable, in addition to these attractions, there is also a scenery that attracts the attention of the guests, that is standing on both sides of the welcome maids, they are dressed in a red strange costume, look like a quiet stubborn wild rose from the corner of the wall, like a fluttering red butterfly, Perfectly integrated with the scene around them, they would salute slightly whenever the guests passed by, and said softly and neatly: "Welcome to the Bandung Comptoir!" ”

"Oops! Oh, my God! This Uncle Tian is amazing! Where did so many beautiful women come from? And this dress! I've never seen it! The young man surnamed Wang exclaimed in surprise, and then said: "This dress has the characteristics of our Han costumes, and the characteristics of those Yi people, all of which are integrated into this clothes, bold and innovative and beautiful!" Not bad! And the slit is just right! Angkor! How did you say Uncle Tian came up with it! The young man surnamed Wang said with a smile.

The young man surnamed Wu naturally admired it for a while, although he felt amazing, but he didn't have the same big reaction as the young man surnamed Wang, and just said lightly: "How do I know, you go and ask Uncle Tian!" Then he continued to walk forward.

"I really don't understand the style!" The young man surnamed Wu muttered, and then shook off this little unhappiness, and while moving forward, he also teased these welcome maids from time to time.

Everyone walked slowly, through the verandah, appeared in front of everyone is a hall, different from the hall of the ordinary room is that this hall is divided into several compartments, each compartment is hung with a brand, there are tea, silk, jewelry, etc., basically all the objects of the Ming Dynasty can be found here, and the wide range of products operated by the business house is to surprise the guests.

"I feel like it's all ordinary wood, the floor, the walls, even the shelves and the table! What a big deal! A guest sighed.

"Not really! I don't know if you will see the floor made of rosewood and rosewood for a while! Some guests pointed to the other side of the upstairs and smiled.

"Ladies and gentlemen! Son! Please come over with an invitation card in hand for a raffle, and someone will take you to the corresponding wing room to participate in the auction! A soft voice rang out.

It was then that the guests noticed that there was a table on the other side of them, on which was a box, and several beautiful maids were standing smiling.

"There's really rosewood!" The sharp-eyed man looked at the box road.

A faint sandalwood filled the air, which couldn't help but make people feel refreshed, and then the guests took the invitation card to participate in the lottery, at this time a maid said: "I hope that the lord, the son will come in order, and if you haven't started to smoke, you can sit aside and rest, we have prepared snacks and tea for everyone!" As he spoke, he pointed to the rest area on the side, and saw a row of Taishi chairs made of iron power wood lined up, although not as noble as the red sour branch wood, but not clumsy, and ancient. There is also a small table between the two Taishi chairs, on which are placed delicate pastries and tea.

Everyone nodded with satisfaction, and then began the orderly lottery, first of course, the first one was Zhang Weixian, after all, the identity of the Duke of Guo was there, everyone was polite, Zhang Weixian was not polite, and directly smiled and put his hand into the lottery box handed over by the maid, and then drew one casually and handed it to another maid, and then the maid looked at it and said with a smile: "Congratulations to Grandpa Guo for winning the reward of three thousand taels of silver!" After speaking, he handed over a voucher of three thousand taels of silver and said: "Grandpa Guo can use this voucher to deduct the items you have auctioned!" The specific rules of use are explained in the voucher! Please also ask Grandpa Guo to take a look! ”

Zhang Weixian nodded with a smile, took the voucher and looked at it, and said with a smile after a while: "Interesting!" Interesting! ”

"Grandpa Guo! This way, please! The slave will take you to the wing! The maid said respectfully.

"It's hard work!" Zhang Weixian does not have the frame of the national prince.

"It is an honor for a slave to serve the grandfather of the country! Grandpa Guo's side is clear! The maid saluted, and then led the way in front, Zhang Weixian said hello to the people behind him and followed upstairs. Zhang Weixian's actions won the favor of the remaining officials who came to participate and those big businessmen, the officials are okay to say, those businessmen are different, you must know that their status is not one and a half levels worse than others, and it is already a blessing that the grandfather of the country can say hello to them for several lifetimes, and the ancestral tomb is smoking.

Subsequently, some officials who came to participate in the lottery were drawn in an orderly manner according to the size of the grade, "Congratulations to Lord Wang for winning two thousand taels!" "Congratulations to Lord Xu for winning two thousand taels!" "Congratulations to Lord Cao for winning 1,500 taels!" The maid's joyful voice sounded from time to time, and the pleasant sound filled everyone's eardrums.

After the officials finished, there were some big businessmen, "Congratulations to Boss Huang for winning two thousand taels!" "Congratulations to Boss Shen for winning two thousand taels!" "Congratulations to Boss Xia for winning 1,500 taels!" The maid's joyful voices rang out incessantly, and then several bosses congratulated each other, and finally followed the maid to their respective chambers.

"Yo ho! Boss! Your surname! Chongzhen smiled and chatted with the businessman sitting next to him.

"Don't give your surname He!" Boss He said with a smile, although he saw that Chongzhen was not dressed very luxuriously, but he had been rolling in the mall for so many years, this point was still in the eyes of people, and there were still a few sweaty people standing behind Chongzhen, although he was wearing the clothes of a family, but the average family did not have a strong murderous aura like them.

"Boss He! At first glance, you are a blessed person, and you must be doing a big deal! Chongzhen said with a smile.

"Haha! Brother Tai laughed! It's a small business! Don't know your brother's surname? Boss He said politely.

"No letter from your surname!" Chongzhen said with a smile, and he felt very awkward after speaking.

"What?" Boss He was stunned.

"The letter that believes!" Chongzhen could only explain.

"Oh! What a rare surname! I want to come to Brother Tai is not a person from Jingshi! Boss He said.

"That's right! Right! Right! The next is from the northwest! Chongzhen said nonsense, and Lu Xiangsheng and the others behind him almost burst out laughing.

Carefully looked at Chongzhen, although it was not white, but it was not very dark, and the healthy complexion made people not feel that they were from the northwest at all, and Boss He naturally would not believe it, thinking that he was not an ordinary person, so he would not tell others his identity information, he thought.

"The texture of this jade on Brother Tai's hand is excellent, could it be that Brother Tai is doing this jade business?" Boss He said suddenly, it turned out that he inadvertently saw the jade ring worn by Chongzhen.

"You say this?" Chongzhen was stunned for a moment and said, "Yes! It's just to buy and sell jade, what's the matter, Brother He is interested in this? Chongzhen has unconsciously begun to call others brothers.

"Yes! I'm from Jiangnan, and this time I'm here to see the auction, and I'm going to go back with something, mainly this jade. Now that the trade in the north is much better, and there are many more goods than before, let's try our luck! Boss He said with a smile.

"Wasn't it bad before?" Chongzhen was stunned.

"Brother Xin is the first time to come to Jingshi! In the past, it was not that it was bad, but there were many restrictions, and there were not many goods, mainly by some large merchants, such as this fur, ginseng, exquisite jade jewelry, etc., which was difficult for us to find! And now this is a lot more stable, and I feel more at ease when I come to do business! Boss He said with a smile.

"I think there are a lot of these things on the market now, especially fur, ginseng and so on!" Chongzhen said with a smile.

"That's because the war is over! There is a mutual market with Mongolia, and even the Tartar can open some mutual markets! Naturally, there are a lot of these things! Boss He said with a smile.

"As for opening a mutual market with the Tartars, I feel that it is not good for the court to do this, and the Tartars should be wiped out!" Chongzhen said viciously.

"Shh Boss He made a silent gesture and said, "Don't talk nonsense, if you don't go out, you'll be arrested!" Then he smiled and said: "But for us, opening a mutual market is more beneficial to us!" Isn't it? ”

Chongzhen thought for a while and nodded, "That's right!" Just made a big deal yesterday! Doing business with the Mongols is easy and easy! ”

"Not really! So, while the situation is still stable, go back with some more shopping! Boss He said with a smile, then looked at the lottery and said, "It's just the two of us, I'll go first!" ”

"Brother He, please!" Chongzhen said with a smile.

Boss He nodded, then took out a piece of jade and said, "Seeing each other is fate, this is for you!" If you go to Suzhou to play, you can go to He's shop to find He, in order to fulfill the friendship of the landlord! ”

Chongzhen smiled and nodded and took it, only to see that the jade was engraved with the words of He's jade shop! Then I only heard Boss He smile and say: "This is the only one in Suzhou!" Brother Faith! Goodbye! With that, he went to the lottery.

"Interesting! Is this a business card? Chongzhen smiled and put the jade in his pocket, Lu Xiangsheng looked at Chongzhen and said, "Master! How do you tell him that? ”

"It's called being close to the people! Do you understand! Chongzhen said with a smile.
