Wang Chengen and Chen Zhifu entered the house, and when they saw that the room was already full, they had to find an inconspicuous place to sit down.

In front of the room, there was a small wooden table with a table on it. Four soldiers armed with bayonet guns lined up on either side of the front desk, and the whole venue looked solemn and solemn. Several beautiful girls in white stood side by side, and even Xue Shao, who had been in the wind and moon field for a long time, was eye-catching.

When everyone was talking and whispering, a girl came to the front desk, this woman came out, and the beautiful girls behind her were eclipsed, only to see her wearing a blue robe, pink ribbon bandeau, highlighting her delicate and seductive figure, looking mature, elegant, steady, with a confident smile on her face, a strong charm and charm all over her body, and a mallet in her hand.

Her appearance made Wang Chengen, who was in the palace and read the beauty of the world, praise again and again. Xue Shao was even more wide-eyed, and his mouth was wide open. As the saying goes, "the seven officials in front of the prime minister's door", these people are not for the dignitaries and nobles, they are for the dignitaries to take care of the family affairs, they are trusted by the masters, and they are all nobles.

Before they came to this small town, they didn't see this town at all, but now they see such a stunning beauty in the town, everyone thinks that as long as they are willing to say hello, this beauty will have to chase after him, and they can't wait to go to the capital with him to enjoy happiness, yes, many people have moved to bring this woman back to the capital.

Governor Chen has another idea, this woman is Miss Xu San, her daughter's rival, seeing Miss Xu San facing such a big scene today, she is not impatient or impatient, calm and moderate, and Governor Chen praised it again and again in his heart.

Miss Xu San came to the table and struck the mallet, and the room fell silent. She announced the official start of the auction.

A girl is holding a delicate porcelain tea pot and showing it to everyone.

Miss Xu San introduced the first auction item: a mention of tea, a total of four cans, the starting price is forty taels of silver, each time the card is raised by ten taels, if you jump to increase the price, you can stand up and shout directly.

As soon as Miss Xu San's words fell, all the number plates at the scene were raised in unison.

"Fifty taels!" Miss Xu San increased the price.

"Sixty taels!"

"Eighty taels!"

All the number plates at the scene are still held high.

Yang Shao's housekeeper Zhou Deli was impatient, stood up and said, "One hundred and fifty cars!" After speaking, he glanced at the scene and was triumphant.

Miss Xu San said: "The fifth auctioneer bid one hundred and fifty taels, one hundred and fifty taels once..."

"Two hundred and fifty taels!" Cao Qi stood up and raised the price.

Everyone exclaimed, Xue Shao's heart was happy, he had not suffered from Yang Shao's anger over the years, even if Yang Shao was not there, suppressing the arrogance of his subordinates, his heart was also comfortable. Zhou Deli's face was pale, he didn't know what to do, he didn't dare to make his own decisions, increase the price, if the purchase price was too high, it would be difficult to go back.

Miss Xu San said: "The No. 2 auctioneer bid two hundred and fifty taels. ”

Li Shao's housekeeper Zhao Dahai held up the number plate.

Miss Xu San wasted no time in saying, "The seventh auctioneer bid two hundred and sixty taels!" ”

"Three hundred taels!" Wang Chengen wanted to be lively, stood up and raised the price, and his screaming and piercing voice attracted everyone's attention. Wang Chengen was triumphant, he thought it was very interesting, he thought that the people who participated in this auction were some local money, with his prominent status, participating in the auction is to taste fresh, to have fun, and he also felt that no one could exceed this price.

"The thirteenth auctioneer bids three hundred taels, three hundred taels once!"

"Three hundred and twenty-two!"

Miss Xu San was about to raise the gavel, and she also felt that three hundred taels was enough, more than ten times its own value.

"Five hundred taels!" Cao Qi stood up and raised the price.

"Wow-" The audience was in an uproar, in this world, five hundred taels is a lot of money, now, the streets are full of children and daughters, fifteen or sixteen-year-old yellow flower girls are only thirty taels of silver, five hundred taels to buy more than ten girls.

A eunuch of such a big status was surpassed by people in a small place, and he felt very uncomfortable, five hundred taels of silver was not a lot of money for the prince, but he was measured, if he took this pot of tea with five or six hundred taels of silver and passed it to the ears of Chongzhen, who has always been thrifty, I was afraid that it would cause trouble, so he had to give up, he sat there in a voice and stopped making a sound.

Miss Xu San said: "The No. 2 auctioneer bid five hundred taels. ”

"Five hundred taels once!"

"Five hundred and two two!"

"Five hundred, two, three!"

"Deal!" The mallet fell, Xue Shao took a shot of the ordinary tea industry for five hundred taels of silver, glanced at the dejected housekeepers present, he snapped, shook off the folding fan, and felt comfortable! Finally, I used silver to buy a dignitary in front of people, and I raised my eyebrows!

In the face of Xue Shao's aggressiveness, Zhou Deli bowed his head and whispered to several other big housekeepers sitting next to him to discuss countermeasures. But here, silver is strength, that is, their master may not be able to defeat Xue Shao in the presence of them, not to mention that they are just subordinates, and everyone feels helpless.

At this time, a beautiful girl appeared with a sandalwood box in her hand, and the eyes of the whole venue were enchanted, and she was attracted by this beautiful girl and the sandalwood box. This girl is so beautiful that there is no flaw, she is well-dressed, beautiful as a fairy, graceful and luxurious, and it brings out the gold of the sandalwood box in her hand.

This girl is none other than Chen Siyi, Governor Chen almost stood up, and the housekeepers present couldn't help but exclaim again and again. Xue Shao's eyes widened, it was incredible that in such a remote and small place, so many girls who had fallen into the country and the city appeared one after another.

Chen Siyi put the wooden box on the desk, and saw that the wooden box was black and saffron, rich and compelling, exuding bursts of sandalwood fragrance, and the whole venue could smell it. She opened the wooden box with her slender jade hand, took out a piece of white Suzhou embroidery from it, on which the flowers were clustered, colorful butterflies were flying, and finally took out the cloisonné enamel porcelain jar, the shape was chic, exquisite and generous, Chen Siyi held it with her hand, walked elegantly on the auction table, and showed the porcelain jar to everyone. The porcelain jar is tightly sealed with wax, giving people unlimited imagination.

The people in the audience are all well-informed, and this porcelain jar alone is a beautiful work of art, and now it is held in the hands of Chen Siyi, which is even more valuable. Everyone thinks that the packaging is so luxurious and expensive, and the tea inside is no longer tea, but a divine leaf from the sky. Everyone in the audience rubbed their fists and sharpened their hands, determined to win.

With the precedent of bidding for ordinary tea just now, those big housekeepers already have self-knowledge.

Zhou Deli and Zhao Dahai quickly formed a joint bidding body, and Zhang Shao, who was slightly weaker in financial resources, and several other companies formed a joint bidding body, and they wanted to use this joint way to fight against Xue Shao.

The great eunuch Wang Chengen is also going to make a move this time, and he decided to compete with these local tycoons, crack down on their arrogance, and get out of the evil spirit that was squeezed just now.

As a result, there were four major bidders on the auction floor.

The first major bidder is undoubtedly Xue Shao, who wins with more money.

The second largest bidder is the joint bidder of Yang Shao and Li Shao, which wins by power.

The third largest bidder is Zhang Shao, who has weak financial resources, and some other small bidders, who win because there are many people.

The fourth largest bidder is Wang Chengen, who is going to make a desperate bet this time.

An invisible smoke filled the auction floor. Xue Shao shook the folding fan freely, with a posture of giving up on me. The other butlers hated it.

Miss Xu San said: This is the best tea in Xincun so far, and it is the only box of sandalwood box tea left in Xincun, and its starting price is 300 taels of silver. The price will be increased by fifty taels each time.

Miss Xu San's voice just fell!

Zhang Fa stood up: "Five hundred taels!" After speaking, he didn't sit down, and he looked like he was going to stand to the end.

I haven't waited for Miss Xu San to set the price.

Zhao Dahai stood up: "Six hundred taels!" "I don't sit down, it seems like I'm going to fight.

Zhang Fa: "Seven hundred taels!" ”

Zhao Dahai: "Eight hundred taels!" ”

"Nine hundred taels!"

"One Thousand Taels"

The two of them raised the price to two thousand taels, and Miss Xu San didn't have a chance to interject.

Wang Chengen was impatient and whispered a few words to Governor Chen, who stood up and said loudly: "Three thousand taels!" ”

Chen Siyi heard this voice and looked at it, it was his father in disguise. The surprise overflowed on her face, and Governor Chen nodded to her slightly to say hello, and at this time, Miss Xu San also recognized Governor Chen and smiled.

Miss Xu San said: "The thirteenth auctioneer will give three thousand taels of silver."

Before Miss Xu San finished speaking, Zhang sent a bid: "Three thousand one hundred taels!" ”

Zhao Dahai: "Three thousand two hundred taels!" ”

"Three thousand three hundred miles!"

Governor Chen stood there awkwardly, not knowing whether to sit down or continue to bid, looking at Wang Chengen with a pleading eye.

Wang Chengen was secretly glad that he didn't stand up in person, otherwise, if it spread out, it would be big. He thought about it in his heart, then gritted his teeth and stretched out four fingers to Governor Chen.

As if he had received a holy decree, Governor Chen was busy bidding: "Three thousand four hundred taels!" ”

"Three thousand five hundred taels!"

"Three thousand six hundred taels!"

His bid was drowned out again, and Wang Chengen shook his head and held out four more fingers to him.

Governor Chen understood, and immediately shouted: "Four thousand taels!" ”

Wang Chengen nodded with satisfaction.

The price of four thousand taels seemed to make Zhang Fa and Zhao Dahai hesitate a little, and they were silent for the time being. They are all communicating with their teammates with their eyes.

Miss Xu San shouted: "The thirteenth auctioneer bid four thousand taels, four thousand taels once!" ”

Without waiting for Miss Xu San to continue, Zhao Dahai bid again: "Four thousand one hundred taels!" ”

Zhang Fa: "Four thousand two hundred taels!" ”

"Four thousand three hundred taels!"

Neither of these two groups seems to let anyone. Governor Chen stood there awkwardly, looking at Wang Chengen, Wang Chengen's face couldn't hold back, and motioned for Governor Chen to sit down. He stood up and bid directly: "Six thousand taels!" ”

Six thousand taels of silver, in this era, it is definitely a rich man, Wang Chengen is going to take out all his belongings, play a heartbeat, he believes, out of this price, I am afraid that no one will compete with him anymore.

Sure enough, as soon as this price came out, Zhang Fa stopped making a sound, and as soon as he communicated with his companions, they all shook their heads. Zhang Fa sat down dejectedly. I can only be a bystander.

Zhao Dahai and Zhou Deli looked at each other, and Zhou Deli nodded.

Without waiting for Miss Xu San to set the price, Zhou Deli increased the price again: "Six thousand one hundred taels!" ”

Wang Chengen looked at Zhao Dahai's posture, it was bound to win, if he continued to increase the price, Zhao Dahai would never give up, six thousand taels of silver, for Wang Chengen was already the limit of his heart, so he had to sit down dejectedly.

Miss Xu San was about to determine the price, but Xue Shao snorted, put away the folding umbrella, stood up, and bid directly: "Eight thousand taels!" ”

There was a burst of exclamations on the field, this price also exceeded Miss Xu San's expectations, and the consternation was beyond words, and she didn't make a sound for a long time.

Xue Shao finished quoting the price, snorted, opened the folding fan again, and threw a flying eye at Miss Xu San on the stage, Miss Xu San was looking at him, of course, seeing his frivolous behavior, the originally smiling face was suddenly covered with a layer of frost.

But she pretended to be casual and continued to quote: "The second auctioneer bid eight thousand taels. Eight thousand taels once. ”

Zhou Deli's forehead sweated intensively, but he received a death order to come, he must buy back green tea, not only did he not buy ordinary green tea, but now it seems that even the best sandalwood box is about to be lost.

Xu Sanxiao continued to quote: "Eight thousand two two!" ”

Zhou Deli couldn't sit still, stood up, gritted his teeth and said, "Eight thousand one hundred taels!" There was a tremor in his words. After quoting the price, he was sweating profusely, and it was obvious that the price was beyond his limit.

Xue Shao snorted, put away the folding fan again, and said, "Ten thousand taels!" After quoting the price, he threw a frivolous kiss to Miss Xu San.

Miss Xu San's face was covered with a layer of murderous aura this time, Xue Shao saw Miss Xu San like this, and actually aroused his possession even more, usually there is no woman to him, Miss Xu San faced him so heroically and magnanimously, and actually threw his face to him, he secretly swore that he must conquer this woman, this time when he returned to Beijing, he not only wanted to hold the tea leaves, but also to hold the beauty, the scenery is infinite, show off well.

Zhou Deli heard Xue Shao's offer and sat down on the stool, and Zhao Dahai sat on the chair.

A group of housekeepers present, like a defeated rooster, couldn't keep their spirits up, Wang Chengen, who was still angry just now, listened to this offer, and was not angry, and had a strong curiosity, 10,000 taels of silver in this era is equivalent to tens of millions of yuan today, how can ordinary people afford it.

With Miss Xu San's three offers, no one in the audience bid anymore, and the final word was finalized, and Xue Shao won the sandalwood box.

The auction was over, Wang Chengen came out of the house, pointed to the arrogant Xue Shao and whispered to Zhao Jiacheng: "Go and investigate, what is his origin." ”

Zhao Jiacheng immediately whispered a few words in Wang Chengen's ear, Zhao Jiacheng showed a surprised expression on his face, and now he knew that this person was not a local tyrant, but a group of yamen from the capital, the big housekeeper, through this auction, Wang Chengen re-acquainted himself with the court ministers who were usually dressed in patches, these people, all of them took out thousands of taels of silver eyes without blinking, but in front of the emperor, crying poor every day, and the court was worried about external troubles, which did not affect these people to make a windfall. When he goes back, he must tell Chongzhen about it, thinking about it, his mood is much better.

The auction has a far-reaching impact on the new village, since then, the new village Maojian has become synonymous with luxury, not only in the capital, but also in the rich land in the south, are proud to have a can of Xincun Maojian, this auction, let Yu Xiang delay the opening of the Nanyang trade, Yu Xiang used the limited Maojian green tea in the new village, to the south in exchange for a large amount of food, countless people.

Not only that, since then, the series of products produced by Xincun will be sold well in the market, and the brand of Xincun is considered to be synonymous with high quality and high enjoyment.

These housekeepers did not buy Xincun tea, but had to bring some other Xincun specialties back to pay the errand, Xincun small steel knife, became their first choice, the market has long been out of stock, they will look around, buy at a high price.

In response to this situation, Xincun specially hurried to produce a batch of exquisite steel knives, Yu Xiang borrowed from the appearance of the legendary games of later generations, and the blade was covered with various patterns, like flowing water, wonderful and abnormal. These steel knives, representing the top steelmaking technology and manufacturing technology level of Xincun, were robbed as soon as they came out, and the price was rising, and each knife was worth 100 taels of silver, which was still in short supply. However, Yu Xiang did not let it flood because of the hot sales, but controlled the total amount. Those housekeepers showed their talents, and finally everyone bought a knife, and everyone was happy, and they could finally go back to pay the errand, and they didn't come in vain.
