The same rice raises a hundred kinds of people, the forest is big, and there are all kinds of birds, just like Chen Hao in Xinchang County is one of the outliers.

Xinchang Chen family ancestors have a Jinshi, although the official position can not be inherited, but the huge family wealth is still inherited, but also carried forward, the Chen family is a famous landowner in Xinchang, there are many industries, the family wealth is not more than millions, some people are born to suffer, and Chen Young Master is destined to be born with fine clothes and food.

What made Chen Hao famous was not his talent, but his strange habits.

Hearing that the phoenix does not fall into the land without treasures, Young Master Chen felt that he should be different from others, in order to be a little more extravagant, he asked people to get a big box of red sandalwood inlaid with gold, which contained gold and silver jewelry, antiques, treasures and other things, and carried them with him, and took them wherever he went, and sat directly on the box when he was tired, in his words, nobles could not sit in ordinary places.

Because there were many treasures in that big box, everyone called him Duobao Chen.

In Xinchang County, it is estimated that most of the people do not know who the surname of the county official is.

This Young Master Chen, I guess he wants to add one more treasure to his big box.

I didn't expect that in the Ming Dynasty, I met such a person with personality, and Yu Jin couldn't help but feel a little Yuaner.

"Dangdangdang", at this time, a guy took out a gong and struck it three times, and then said loudly: "Ladies and gentlemen, now start the auction of the third Taisheng mirror." ”

As soon as the gong sounded, everyone quieted down, and after the scene calmed down, the host of the auction, that is, Cui Sanniang, the shopkeeper of Taisheng Treasure Shop, walked out with a smile.

The face is delicate, the figure is graceful, a pair of single phoenix eyes, two-leaf willow eyebrows, and the red lips smile before the face is opened, especially the figure, the two meat peaks on the chest are bumpy when walking, many men don't blink when they see their eyes, and some saliva is flowing.

The women were jealous and scolded shamelessly.

Cui Sanniang smiled, saluted and said: "The slave family once again thanks you for your support, don't say much politely, go straight to the topic, everyone, please see, this is the Taisheng mirror we want to auction, and it is also the last side, this Taisheng mirror has the characteristics of large size, fine workmanship, and beautiful shape." ”

"First of all, this shelf is made of precious rosewood, with the theme of the fish leaping over the dragon gate, with the lithium fish jumping in the air as the frame, the lithium fish is lifelike, the blue waves below are also extremely ingenious, and then with precious rubies, you can complement each other, the fish eye is also made of precious opal, of course, the most important thing is the Taisheng mirror, beautiful, clear, the little woman has seen a lot of good mirrors, for the time being did not find better than it, it is no exaggeration to say, this is the best mirror of the Ming Dynasty."

Someone below shouted anxiously: "Shopkeeper Cui, everyone you said has seen it, let's start the auction." ”

"It's just that I came all the way to hear you do propaganda here."

"This mirror has been placed for three days, everyone is clear, let's shoot."

"I'm in a hurry, when will the auction start?"

Everyone is urging the auction, and some ordinary people who are watching the excitement are also coaxing.

Yu Yu gently pulled the corner of Yu Jin's clothes, and whispered: "Brother, such a big ruby, why don't I remember such a mirror?" ”

Before it was sold, Yu Yu didn't enjoy it less, and there was no such mirror in his memory.

"Yes no" Yu Jin said with certainty: "This should be added by Taisheng Zhen Toy Shop himself, I heard that Taisheng Trading House has many top craftsmen, and it is easy to add a gem." ”

After that, he nodded and said: "That's fine, those turquoise, turquoise, crystal, etc. are not of high grade, and replacing it with precious gemstones can improve its grade, and others will bid a lot more boldly. ”

What he made, Yu Jin could feel it even if he closed his eyes, and he could see at a glance that Taisheng Zhen Shop had been modified.

is really shrewd, sparing no effort in publicity, and regardless of the cost in packaging, this Cui Sanniang is simply a business wizard.

Yu Yu was a little entangled, the reason for the entanglement was that he didn't know how to divide the silver after the auction, because during the auction process, Taisheng Commercial Bank increased the cost, how to calculate these?

Compared with Yu Yu's entanglement, Yu Jin seemed very calm, and set his eyes on the auction table.

Cui Sanniang heard the protest from the audience, and said without hesitation: "Okay, since you are all in a hurry, then good, the auction has officially started, and the reserve price is one tael of silver, and each increase cannot be less than ten taels." ”

"Three hundred taels." As soon as Cui Sanniang's voice fell, someone immediately shouted loudly.

The first bid was three hundred taels, everyone was in an uproar, Yu Jin felt that this voice was a little familiar, turned his head and looked, happy, it was Ma Ning who made the offer, only to see him roll up his sleeves, looking determined to win.

Brother Yuanbao, Yu Jin was happy in his heart, and when he saw this chubby guy, he felt an inexplicable sense of joy in his heart.

Cui Sanniang, who presided over the auction, immediately said: "No. 3, No. 3 Young Master Ma bid three hundred taels, Young Master Ma is really bold, three hundred taels, is anyone higher than three hundred taels?" ”

"Three hundred and fifty taels." A pot-bellied merchant shouted.

"Okay, No. 7 bid three hundred and fifty taels, is there anything higher than three hundred and fifty taels?"

A man who was as thin as a bamboo pole and wore a lot of gold artifacts all over his body raised his hand: "Five hundred taels." ”

Cui Sanniang's face was overjoyed, and she immediately updated the latest offer: "No. 12 Master Sun bid five hundred taels, is there anything higher than five hundred taels?" ”

If you know it, you will point out your identity, and if you don't know it, you will directly say the seat number, so that it is fast and will not be mistaken.

There are also two pen-obsessed people next to them, and there are constantly people recording them to prevent chaos.

"Five hundred and twenty taels."

"Six hundred taels."

"Six hundred and fifty taels"

The popularity of this mirror was beyond Yu Jin's expectations, and the reserve price of one tael soared to six hundred and fifty taels in a blink of an eye, more than six hundred taels, which is equivalent to more than ten years of a county order.

Sitting in front of Ma Ning was a little anxious, he didn't bring much silver, or the family didn't give so much money, it was a big family, what to spend, what to buy is also a moderation, so many people are waiting for dinner, you can't go bankrupt and buy a mirror.

Carried down like this, once the real fire is lifted, the only cheap one in the end is Taisheng Zhen Play Shop, Ma Ning hesitated for a moment, and shouted loudly: "One thousand taels." ”

Everyone was in an uproar again, many people looked at Ma Ning's eyes strangely, and some outsiders also asked people about this bold young master.

The first bid price was directly out to three hundred taels, and the second bid price was directly soared to one thousand taels, this price was too domineering, not only the people who were watching on the side were surprised, but there were a few people who wanted to follow, seeing Ma Ning so resolute, quietly withdrew from the ranks of the competition.

It's just a dead thing, there's no need to fight him.

Sure enough, as soon as Ma Ning opened his mouth for one thousand taels, many people who were ready to bid retreated.

"One thousand and fifty taels." The one who spoke was a middle-aged wealthy businessman, who said while knocking melon seeds.

Ma Ning hesitated and said, "One thousand two hundred taels." ”

This is Ma Ning's entire net worth, and it was not until this moment that he understood how big the gift Yu Jin gave him, if he couldn't get this thousand two hundred, he could only go home empty-handed.

No one to quote?

After a short while, no one made an offer, and when Ma Ning was overjoyed and waited for the announcement of the auction, a lazy voice suddenly shattered Ma Ning's dream: "One thousand five hundred taels." ”

Ma Ning's face turned red all of a sudden, and when he turned his head, he saw that it was the man who was as thin as a bamboo pole and wore gold utensils all over his body, this person's name was Sun Qiang, a famous rice merchant in Shaoxing, who was also in the tea business, and was a well-known wealthy businessman.

Sun Qiang is very good at eating in Shaoxing, where is he afraid of a small county prince, seeing Ma Ning staring at him with red eyes, he didn't care, and raised the cup in his hand to Ma Ning, and then took a sip.

"Vulgar! Tacky. Ma Ning shouted in his mouth and sat down a little angrily.

Money is not more than people, and the power is not stronger than people, so you can only admit defeat.

"Okay, on the twelfth, Master Sun bid 1,500 taels, and Master Sun is really generous" Cui Sanniang looked around at a bidder in the auction area, and said softly: "1,500 taels, is there anything higher?" ”

An ordinary mirror was also sold for 1,000 taels, and the craftsmen of Taisheng Trading House replaced and added gems of 1,000 taels on it, not to mention anything else, the ruby and the two opals of lithium fisheye alone cost at least 800 taels.

It's only 1,500 taels, Cui Sanniang is definitely not satisfied.

Half a ring, no one spoke, Cui Sanniang said with a smile: "Money is easy to get, treasures are hard to find, you don't miss it." ”

After waiting for a while, no one spoke, and Cui Sanniang didn't want to delay it for too long, so she had to open her mouth and announce: "Since no one bids again, then this Fish Leaping Dragon Gate Taisheng Mirror will be"

"Wait a minute" A voice interrupted Cui Sanniang's words, lazily: "I'm sorry, I almost fell asleep, I'll give two hundred taels." ”

Everyone laughed all of a sudden, isn't this guy sleepy, everyone else has paid 1,500 taels, and he has 200 taels, is this a scene or a joke for everyone? ”

If it was someone else, Cui Sanniang would have kicked him out, but it was Chen Hao who spoke, Young Master Chen, and explained with a smile when he heard the words: "Young Master Chen, Master Sun on the twelfth has already reached 1,500 taels, so"

Sun Qiang also smiled and said, "Haha, Young Master Chen is really joking, two hundred taels, take it home and." ”

Chen Hao raised his eyebrows, and said with an unhappy face: "What, joke that your uncle doesn't know how to count?" When I say two hundred taels, it's two hundred taels of gold, but what, yours won't be one thousand fifteen hundred taels of gold, right? ”

Two hundred taels of gold, that is, two thousand taels of silver, is naturally more than one thousand five hundred taels, and everyone was in an uproar.

Cui Sanniang was overjoyed when she heard this, the customer was first, and immediately threw a wink at Chen Hao, and took the initiative to admit her mistake: "It's because the slave family didn't ask clearly, please ask Chen Gongzi to be angry." ”

After that, he announced loudly: "Now the highest is No. 8 Chen Gongzi 2,000 taels, is there any higher than 2,000 taels?" ”

Sun Qiang was robbed of white by Chen Hao, his face immediately became ugly, he gritted his teeth, and shouted: "Two thousand two hundred taels." ”

"Three thousand taels, silver." Without waiting for Cui Sanniang to speak, Chen Hao did not hesitate to add three thousand taels.

Suddenly raised by eight hundred taels, and the scene suddenly gasped for air.
