After preparing for the auction, Liang Wenzhen and Xu Fan and Jiang Zhao sat in the Wang Po Tea Shop and sipped tea, and Xu Jin was busy because he had business.

Liang Wenzhen always felt uncomfortable no matter how he sits, and Jiang Zhao was also uncomfortable. Only that Xu Fan, with a look of "a young man who doesn't know the taste of sorrow".

"Brother Liang's auction last time," Xu Fan said, "I think it's quite strange, but this auction, everyone is rushing to pay, it's amazing, and the rich people are really willing to spend money." ”

Liang Wenzhen snorted, laughed, and said, "No wonder you are so relaxed, you still think about last time." This time is different from last time, last time it was a temporary cramming, taking advantage of the situation, and it doesn't matter what the result is. It has taken a lot of effort to-day, and if I don't get a lot of money one day, my fragile little heart will be hurt. ”

Xu Fan looked puzzled, frowned and said, "How can it be unsatisfactory?" This is already a beautiful talk spread all over the streets and alleys, and even the magistrates are willing to patronize it. ”

Jiang Zhao saw that Xu Fan was so optimistic, he wanted to pour cold water on him, but he was afraid that Liang Wenzhen would be displeased when he heard it, so he just laughed.

"Brother Fan is quite optimistic," Liang Wenzhen said, "but with you as an optimistic boy in one place, I'm a little more relaxed." ”

Despite the gossip and Xu Fan's naïve optimism, this afternoon was still like a year, and time was difficult. Seeing the sunset, Liang Wenzhen couldn't sit still, so he settled the tea money and went to the Qinghe Hall with Xu Fan and Jiang Zhao.

Liang Wenzhen arrived at the hall, turned around and around inside, wiped and wiped 30 pieces of Jing glass instruments, and looked at them. Finally, when the moon was on the branches, the red lanterns lit up in the hall, and the dusk moon reflected the red and bright lanterns, and the sound of frogs sounded one after another, adding to the quiet atmosphere.

The rich people who came one after another greeted Liang Wenzhen one by one, and they all went around socializing - on such occasions, in addition to showing off their family assets, they were flattering each other and boasting to each other.

There were more and more people, and suddenly I heard a "Lord Zhixian has arrived", and everyone greeted them. It is strange to say that on such occasions, everyone doesn't care much about the noise and shouting, who comes and goes, but the word "adult" so easily captured everyone's ears.

Liang Wenzhen squeezed through the crowd, stepped forward and said: "Lord Zhixian appreciates the light, infinite glory." ”

The Yanggu County Commander was full of smiles, and surrounded by everyone, swaggered, and while walking inside, he responded to Liang Wenzhen and others: "I haven't seen such a grand event for a long time, and I don't have some means, but I can't afford to make a decision." Liang Gongzi is really a capable. ”

"Your Excellency, you are smiling," Liang Wenzhen said, "Thanks to your love, take the time to come, just the auction conference, everyone appreciates the light to give me face." ”

When the county magistrate heard this, he was overjoyed, laughed, and said, "Liang Gongzi, you are too modest." ”

Although there is still some distance from the established time, the people are already seventy-seven, eighty-eight, and the county order has come, and if the glass instrument is not taken out, it seems that it is a little neglectful of the distinguished guests who are gathered together.

Liang Wenzhen immediately shouted: "Brother Fan, Brother Jiang will quickly put the treasures out." ”

Xu Fan and Jiang Zhao were already on standby behind, and after listening to Liang Wenzhen's orders, they shouted, "I want it." ”

So, everyone sat around, and the stars surrounded a row of pear blossom wood square tables. Xu Fan took out the first batch of glass instruments, which were held on a large log plate, cushioned with silver sè brocade, and covered with red cloth. In the expectant eyes of everyone, Xu Fan walked up to zhongyāng and said, "The first batch of glass treasures, dishes, cups and plates, three sets, a total of twelve pieces. ”

Xu Fan lifted the red cloth, and everyone couldn't help but stand up, leaned forward, and stared. I saw the red cloth floating, and the crystal clear dishes and cups appeared in front of people's eyes. The lights are reflected, bright, shining, jeweled, dazzling.

"Wow~~" Everyone was amazed.

Then, Jiang Zhao took out the second batch, which was also supported by a large log, covered with emerald green brocade, and covered with a big red step. Jiang Zhao walked up to everyone and said, "Guess what." What kind of artifact is this? ”

"Vase?" "Dishes?" "Cups?" Accounts differ and opinions vary.

"Everyone, please be quiet, now the magistrate will reveal it for us." Jiang Zhaodao, "Lord Zhixian, please!" ”

On such occasions, the county order was given such an opportunity to be in the limelight, and he was naturally willing to accept it, striding forward, and said, "Everyone, pay attention!"

As soon as the red cloth was opened, it was three groups of four groups of twelve lotus leaf shaped fruit bowls stacked together. The fruit plate was lined with the bright green of the brocade, and borrowed the light to flicker and flicker, looming, like a heavenly object.

"Wow~~ It's amazing." The crowd erupted into more enthusiastic shouts, and Liang Wenzhen applauded, and then the applause was thunderous.

Jiang Zhao put down the fruit plate and thanked the magistrate, but Liang Wenzhen came up and said, "The last eight, I wonder if the magistrate is willing to take it out with everyone in person?" ”

The county magistrate said: "I am willing to have fun with you." "My heart has already blossomed.

The county magistrate held the large round wooden plate, which was padded with colorful brocade and covered with a big red cloth. "This one is a little heavy," the county commander said, "Isn't it some ornament?" ”

"The county magistrate is really smart, and the villain admires him!" Liang Wenzhen hurriedly uncovered the red cloth, but it was an ornament of the nine sons of the Dragon King. This jade carving and stone carving, the ancients have seen a lot, but when they saw this glass ornament, it was transparent and clear, bright and shining, and it was very strange and beautiful.

"What a good thing!" The exclamations swept like a heat wave, and the applause galloped out like a loose horse.

"At this point, all the treasures of the present have been displayed!" Liang Wenzhen said, "Let's start auctioning the first treasure, a glass bowl, with a starting price of 10 taels." ”

The people below were full of voices, so it was not lively, and it didn't take long to shout 270 taels.

Liang Wenzhen said: "This is the first one, and it is of great significance. Is there still a high price? 270 taels for the first time, 270 taels for the second time, 270 taels for the third time! Good deal! ”

Almost at the same time as Liang Wenzhen announced the "deal", the voices of "Ximen officials have arrived" and "and slowly" rushed over together.

Everyone turned their eyes away, but they saw a graceful and suave man, surrounded by the left and right families. This big man has a burly figure, handsome eyebrows, and a lofty instrument. Swaggered over, holding his head high, his eyes not squinting, quite a bit of posture.

Liang Wenzhen looked at the big man, and heard "Ximen Daguan", and thought that it must be the thief Ximen Qing. I didn't expect to see the legendary character on such an occasion, and I was very shocked. Although he didn't like Ximen Qing Na very much, he was already in the list of invitations sent out before the auction, and he couldn't exclude someone because of his own preferences, which was a big taboo in the business field.

"In Xiaximen Celebration, such a lively event, how can there be no Sprinkle family." The man said. Liang Wenzhen's head tightened, both surprised and delighted. Sure enough, it was Ximen Qing, as if he felt that Pan Jinlian was also out of the call. When he came back to his senses, he saw that the man had put up a stool, leaned forward, raised his eyebrows and said, "I'll give 300 taels." In the fluttering words, the price was raised by 30 taels, and the conductor's detached demeanor attracted the attention of the audience.

"320 taels!" Li Yuanwai, a buyer who had already won the baby, was so arrogant that he couldn't stand off the stage by Ximenqing's arrogance, and he competed with Ximenqing with a hot brain.

"350 taels." Ximen Qing said indifferently and defiantly.

Li Yuanwai was indignant in his chest, and was making a bid, but he heard the butler nagging in his ear: "If you have anything to do with him, he can't rob it all." If we take it, we will waste the silver, and there are still many things that have not been photographed, so the lord can rest assured. ”

The housekeeper's words woke up the dreamer, Li Yuanwai took a breath, a stiff smile on his face, and said: "Since the Ximen officials love it so much, I will not fight with you for the beauty of chéngrén." ”

Li Yuanwai thought that this would be the end of his face, but unexpectedly, Ximenqing raised his chin and said, "You are fighting with me, I see what kind of capital you have to fight with me." "The face was full of disdain.

A burst of laughter broke out in the crowd, and Li Yuanwai was so stupid that he couldn't speak, but he regretted that he shouldn't have been so reckless, provoked such a scoundrel, and lost his face in vain.

The auction is in full swing. A piece of beautiful glass objects, not only for enjoyment, but also for the use of household goods, rich families are eager to grab a few more, placed at home to show the weather. In less than two hours, 31 high-quality glass objects have been famous, and they are naturally happy to get satisfactory objects, while those who miss out on their favorite treasures will inevitably be full of prison and depressed.

Ximen Qingnai is the richest man in Yanggu, his momentum is like a rainbow, he can't lose face, and he has the most auctions in the whole scene, with a total of 6 pieces, and the cost is more than 2,000 taels.

At night, Liang Wenzhen, Xu Jin, Xu Fan and others counted that this auction also sold more than 10,000 taels of silver, deducting the rent of the Qinghe Hall and rewarding the helpers, which was enough for 10,000 taels of silver.

How to ensure that the business is long-term, the profits are rolling in, how to plan production and transportation, and listen to the next decomposition.
