Chapter 237: A Woman Who Can Only Spend Money
Twenty taels of silver, it may not sound like much, but it's actually quite a lot. These two pieces of silver are equal to consistent money, and the income of ordinary people in Jinguo is about 3-5 yuan, if you want to buy a war horse, you have to be a retired war horse, and you must save for about four years without eating or drinking.
This is equivalent to the extent that we modern people have to save up for a few years to buy a compact car. Compact is a car of 10-150,000 yuan. In ancient times, a good horse was a good car now.
Under the backdrop of the atmosphere, the horse rose from twenty taels of silver to thirty taels in an instant. The old man Tang Bohu, the owner of the horse watching in the background, almost fainted. At the beginning, the reserve price of twenty taels of silver scared the old man, thinking, with so much money, who will buy this horse. So I have been begging Guanyin Bodhisattva for the blessing of Guanyin Bodhisattva in the background, and I must sell it, but this has just begun, and the price has risen by one or two, and the old man has not reacted yet, and it has risen to thirty taels.
Even if the eldest lady is clearly saying that the price has reached thirty taels. The old man Tang Bohu was still uncertain and asked Tang Jian who was accompanying him: "Is it really thirty taels?" ”
Tang Jian was also quite surprised, but he was a member of the Shenyu team, and he believed in his bones that Ma Chao could create miracles. Even so, Tang Jian was quite clear about the rules of the auction, so he said to the old man Tang Bohu: "You have to drop the hammer to be considered a deal." ”
When the old man heard this, he became anxious, and said to Tang Jian: "You...... You...... Hurry up and bother Madame, and get this hammer down. ”
Tang Jian laughed when he heard this, and said, "Uncle, don't worry! When the old man heard this, he shouted: "Can I not be in a hurry?" That's thirty taels of silver. ”
The eldest lady felt that although this horse was good, it did not meet the standard of a thousand miles, and it had been delayed for two years, and the price of the thirty taels had already met expectations. The eldest lady raised her hammer and shouted, "Thirty-two and one times." ”
Then I heard someone in a corner, "Forty taels!" "The voice is a little delicate, and it sounds a little euphemistic. Most of the squires recognized that this was a concubine that Wang Zhen won last year, named Lin Ying. This woman is as beautiful as a fairy, and she often shows her head, and others don't see what Lin Ying is capable of, but she is willing to spend money.
The relationship between Wang Zhen and the squires and celebrities is particularly good, and at first glance, it is Lin Ying'er, and those who are ready for silver do not buy it. The eldest lady raised her hammer again, and everyone thought that the horse should be sold for forty taels of silver.
Later, the old man Tang Bohu was even more excited and his legs were weak and he couldn't stand, so Tang Jian found a chair for the old man to sit down. Only Ma Chao frowned, he smelled the smell of gunpowder in the auction room.
Sure enough, after the eldest lady shouted twice, Xin Qi slowly raised the sign and said with a smile: "Forty-one taels!" ”
As soon as Xin Qiji's words fell, Lin Ying in the corner said angrily: "One hundred taels!" ”
The squires and celebrities present shook their heads secretly, thinking that even Lord Wang Zhen was not fighting with Lord Xin Qiji. Lord Wang Zhen is so wise, how can he marry such a brainless woman.
Master Xin Qiji picked up the sign again, and everyone looked at it nervously, but Xin Qiji finally smiled and put the sign down.
In the end, the old man Tang Bohu's horse was sold for one hundred taels of silver. The old man fainted happily directly in the background, which startled Tang Jian. According to the regulations, Ma Chao charges 5% of the transaction fee for the buyer and 10% of the fee for the seller, and this fee is decreasing according to the transaction price, and the threshold is 5 times minus 1%, that is to say, Ma Chao earned a total of 14 taels of silver in the process of this auction.
This is a good start, but Ma Chao pays more attention to the woman named Lin Ying, after the transaction, Ma Chao saw this woman, this woman is indeed as beautiful as a fairy, but what Ma Chao feels is that her heart is like a snake and scorpion. (To be continued.) )
