readx; "Foreign woman!"

As soon as the two interracial beauties appeared, they caused a commotion in the Star Picking Building. www.biquge.info In this era of seclusion and seclusion, even foreigners are very rare, not to mention the big beauties among foreigners? One of them is blonde with blue eyes, a high nose bridge, and deep eye sockets, while the other has flaxen-colored curly hair, big eyes, and thick lips.

The bidders are all rich gentry, and of course there are many lustful people. As soon as they saw the two interracial beauties appear, these people's eyes immediately straightened, their mouths grew big, and their greedy expressions were as obscene as they were.

The flaxen-haired interracial beauty was like no one else, and she seemed to have long been accustomed to being the focus of everyone's attention, so she walked up to the high stage generously and muttered a lot of foreign languages to the host Sun Delong.

Of course, Sun Delong was confused, and at this time, the blonde and blue-eyed beauty also walked up and smiled in fluent and rounded Chinese: "Miss Anna also wants to auction her precious collection, I hope you can help." ”

Sun Delong said embarrassedly: "Two, I'm really embarrassed. The collections in this auction are all registered in advance. The two of them didn't register, so they had to wait for the next time. ”

The flaxen-haired beauty listened to the blonde beauty's translation and immediately showed a look of disappointment. There were some ill-intentioned men in the audience who shouted loudly: "Shopkeeper Sun, why are you so unkind?" If the foreign woman has good things, she will take them out for everyone to see! ”

Zhu Youzhen saw clearly in the private room on the third floor, and said with a smile: "Isn't this Qiu Lina and Princess Anna?" Why did the two of them get here? ”

Zhu Cunqi also smiled and said: "This Princess Anna is very spicy, I heard that recently in order to prepare for the establishment of the Portuguese Embassy, she has turned around the inner and outer cities of Beijing, and even the imperial city wants to enter!" Qiulina and her were the same age and spoke the same language, and soon the two became inseparable friends. I just don't know what Anna is going to auction today, she is a princess, is there still a shortage of silver? ”

Zhu Youzhen was also a little puzzled, so he sent someone to quietly inform Sun Delong. After listening to the man's whisper, Sun Delong smiled at Anna and Qiulina: "It is very happy to have friends from afar, and we Chinese are the most hospitable." Since the two girls insist on participating in the auction and everyone has no objection, please show your collection! ”

Listening to Tyulina's translation, Anna was overjoyed, took out a few things from the bag she was carrying, held them high above her head one by one, and proudly showed them to everyone.

No one else had ever seen these things, so I was very curious. Zhu Youzhen also saw it clearly upstairs, it turned out to be a set of gold tableware, a monocular and a small glass round mirror.

"These are the latest European productions, and you see, how beautifully made!" Anna introduced in broken Chinese, "Gold is a symbol of nobility and purity, and it is hygienic and decent to use gold for tableware; This telescope can be magnified forty times, and it is easy to spot very distant islands on the surface of the sea; How smooth this glass mirror is, it is much brighter than the bronze mirror you use..."

But Anna talked endlessly, but everyone didn't have much interest in her "collection". In their opinion, in addition to the gold tableware that is still a bit collectible, the telescope and glass mirror are "miraculous and silvery", not antiques in the traditional sense.

Anna offered a common starting price of 1,000 taels of silver for these three things, but there were very few applicants. Two or three merchants called two rounds of price for the gold tableware, and when it rose to 1,200 taels, no one added it; As for telescopes and glass mirrors, no one cares at all. Anna came full of hope, and when she saw that her collection was not welcome, she couldn't help but be disappointed, and pursed her sexy lips and said, "You don't know the goods!" ”

Zhu Youzhen was moved. The gold cutlery was indeed beautifully made, but it was nothing unusual; But the telescope and the round glass mirror immediately aroused his interest.

You must know that in this era, China will not make glass, let alone delicately polished lenses. Telescopes that can see into the distance, with their important military value, have been widely used in the armies of Western countries as soon as they appeared. The Portuguese in Macao also gave binoculars as gifts to the imperial court. At that time, the emperor Tianqi only loved carpentry and was not interested in this thing, so he gave it to Wei Zhongxian, who in turn handed it over to Dongchang Fanzi. After the East Factory was dismantled, these telescopes finally fell into Zhu Youzhen's hands, but they were broken and could not be used, and Zhu Youzhen couldn't help but sigh.

Therefore, in the negotiations with King Joao of Portugal, Zhu Youzhen also mentioned that he wanted to import a batch of telescopes. But Joao is extremely treacherous, the lion opened his mouth, and opened his mouth for 100,000 taels of silver, and Zhu Youzhen is no matter how much silver he has, he can't be the boss of this wrong, so this transaction was shelved.

Now Anna's telescope sells for only 1,000 taels of silver, which is still expensive, but much cheaper than 100,000 taels of silver.

As for the glass mirror, of course, it is much better than the bronze mirror that women use for makeup. But Zhu Youzhen doesn't care about this, what he really cares about is whether Europe can produce relatively large and transparent glass now.

As a person who travels through, Zhu Youzhen certainly understands the importance of glass. In addition to being used as a door and window, it can also play the role of plastic to some extent in the case that it is impossible to make plastic at the current level of technology, such as building a glass greenhouse. With greenhouses, crops can grow out of season, and in this "Xiaoice" period, its significance is self-evident.

So Zhu Youzhen pondered for a while, and then whispered a few words to Zhu Cunqi. Zhu Cunqi stared at Zhu Youzhen meaningfully, and said with a smile: "Long live, are you talking and thinking the same thing?" Could it be that he is pretending to be a public servant, and wants to take this opportunity to be with Princess Anna..."

"Where do you think of it?" Zhu Youzhen's old face blushed slightly and said, "These two things are really very important, so if you save chess, you can help your husband..."

"Look scares you!" Zhu Cunqi smiled and said, "Okay, the concubine obeys the order!" ”

With that, she turned and walked out of the private room. Zhu Youzhen looked downstairs, and after a while, he saw that Zhu Cunqi, who was covered with green yarn, had already floated into the auction hall, raised his hand and said loudly: "I will give five thousand taels, and I want all three collections." ”

When everyone was surprised, Xu Yousan, the leader of the Huizhou Business Gang, glanced at Zhu Cunqi up and down with electric eyes, and said slowly: "The old man will give 10,000 taels!" ”
