Chapter 449: The Auction (Part II)

As soon as the high price of 8,000 taels came out, the originally noisy field was quiet.

Many people are secretly shocked in their hearts, thinking that it is just an ancient soldier's book, and the female dependents of the Pingguo Mansion can do this, but it seems that the background of the Pingguo Mansion is extraordinary.

Even Tuoba Yan was shocked by Grandma Qiu'er's unblinking momentum.

She looked at the seat of the Pingguo Mansion quietly, but saw that the ladies of the Pingguo Mansion didn't seem to have much reaction to this price.

As the mother-in-law of Qiu Er's grandmother, Mrs. Mo San not only said half a "no" to her daughter-in-law's behavior, but looked carefully, there was a faint smile on the corner of her mouth.

Looking at Fang Hanniang, who was the most unhappy in Tuoba Yan, Fang Hanniang was calm and calm, and she didn't seem to be surprised by the offer of "eight thousand taels".

Oh, pretend to be calm, who in this room doesn't know that you are from a low background! It's as if he has entered the Pingguo Mansion, and he doesn't even pay attention to eight thousand taels!

Tuoba Yan said disdainfully.

She twitched the corners of her mouth slightly, and glanced at the crown princess on the side without a trace.

"Ten thousand taels!"

Tuoba Yan didn't compete with Grandma Qiu Er in terms of price increase, but she also directly shouted 10,000 taels.

This 10,000 taels came out, it can be said that the audience was quiet, and the needle drop could be heard.

Tuoba Yan looked at the slight astonishment on Grandma Qiu's face, and only felt a burst of joy in her heart.

She knew that Grandma Qiu Er would increase the price again.

After all, this is not a simple auction.

This is to save face for the crown princess! To make face for the crown princess, isn't that just to make face for the prince?

Tuoba Yan had a sweet smile on the corner of her mouth as always, and her voice was crisp and hearty: "It stands to reason that seeing that Grandma Qiu Er likes this ancient soldier book so much, I shouldn't have competed with Grandma Qiu Er like this." But Grandma Qiu Er is really sorry, I like to collect these when I was a child...... It's really offended. ”

Tuoba Yan said as she cautiously peeked at Grandma Qiu'er's expression.

She knew that Grandma Qiu Er would increase the price.

After all, the Pingguo Mansion started as a soldier, and his dedication to military books is greater than anyone else's.

Besides, at this point, it is no longer just a battle between military books, but also related to the dignity of the Pingguo Mansion.

Tuoba Yan had some expectations in her heart, waiting for Grandma Qiu's second offer again.

Unexpectedly, Grandma Qiu's slightly frowning eyebrows suddenly smoothed out, and even showed a little smile, and shook her head with a look of regret: "I don't know, it turns out that Miss Tuoba likes this military book so much." We have an old saying in Darong, which is called 'a gentleman does not take the favor of others'. Since Miss Tuoba likes this book of war so much, and does not hesitate to buy it for 10,000 taels of silver, then I naturally have the beauty of an adult. ”

After speaking, Grandma Qiu Er nodded slightly to the crown princess in front of her.

The smile on the corner of the crown princess's mouth could hardly be hidden.

For a while, there was silence on the field.

It didn't take long for someone to reflect, or sincerely or falsely, to congratulate Tuoba Yan on her favorite.

"I can't imagine that Miss Tuoba loves this military book so much, and speaking of which, I also have a lost fragment of a military book there......"

The more intelligent ones have already started to sell to Tuoba Yan by congratulating them.

The smile on Tuoba Yan's face was about to break.

She looked at Grandma Qiu Er, her eyes wanting to breathe fire.

This woman, why didn't she increase the price!

Wasn't the momentum very fierce before, she only lifted two thousand taels, and she added another three thousand taels to come back! Why don't you increase the price now?!

10,000 taels of silver!

Tuoba Yan's heart was about to die.

She can't afford this 10,000 taels, and she can still take out 10,000 taels after exhausting all the cash in the house. Even if she is uninhibited by these foreign objects, she has to see what she can buy for 10,000 taels of silver!

Buy a broken book......

Tuoba Yan was about to vomit blood.

Here, Fang Hanniang also looked at Grandma Qiu Er with some surprise.

She thought that with the temperament of Qiu Er's grandmother, she would have to add the price again.

Originally, Fang Hanniang planned that if Grandma Qiu Er didn't have enough money, she would take it on her behalf.

Anyway, Fang Hanniang is not without money.

She touched her sleeve pocket, where in addition to the few silver tickets she put in, Ji Jinxing also stuffed a lot of them for her.

Fang Hanniang couldn't help but think of Yu Qi secretly giving herself a silver ticket before going out in the morning, she didn't accept it, Yu Qi made a bitter face: "Miss Fang is good, pity and pity these silver, our master said, if you don't accept it, let me tear it up directly." ”

Fang Hanniang was speechless and accepted the stack of silver tickets.

She has the confidence to accept these silver tickets because she knows that she has the confidence to create much more wealth for Ji Jinxing than these silver tickets.

……

It's just that Fang Hanniang didn't expect that Grandma Qiuer, who has always been hot, would be able to stop in time in the face of Tuoba Yan's almost provocative price hikes.

Grandma Qiu Er seemed to feel Fang Hanniang's eyes, and she whispered a little embarrassedly: "Before going out, didn't Han Niang tell us what malicious price hike is." I'm not stupid, then Tuoba Yan is there to clearly want me to bleed heavily, so I won't be fooled. ”

While talking, Grandma Qiu Er was still a little proud.

In the past few days, because of Ruan Zhilan's matter, Grandma Qiu Er has not shown her face like this for a long time.

Mrs. Mo San listened to Grandma Qiu's words and nodded without a trace.

……

As soon as the "Book of Ancient Soldiers" came out from this 10,000 taels of silver, the next few auctions were never as crazy as this.

First, everyone is a big family with a head and a face in Beijing, and there are usually a lot of intertwined relationships, so there is no need to tear your face because of some silver; Second, the goals of these wealthy nobles are obvious, as long as there is one pat, just let their family register with the crown princess.

Therefore, the auction at the end of the auction was very harmonious, and the top families in Beijing almost auctioned one or two lots.

In the end, the Pingguo Mansion spent 60,000 taels of silver to shoot the ancient sword known as the ancient sword.

It is said that this sword kills a lot of people, has its own evil spirit, and is not close to all evils, especially suitable for families like them.

In the end, it was almost a happy ending.

Except for Tuoba Yan.

Because after the auction was over, it was the steward who went to the account office of the crown princess and took the things they had auctioned, and when the time came, they either paid it on the spot, or sent someone to send the silver later.

Tuoba Yan didn't go to get the book of soldiers for a long time.

Lu Huaiqing was a little apprehensive, and pulled Tuoba Yan's sleeve.

Tuoba Yan came back to his senses at this time.

The crown princess had already sent a grandmother over, standing in front of Tuoba Yan with a smile on her face, holding a brocade box in her hand.

"The crown princess is afraid that Miss Tuoba will forget about this, so she specially ordered the old slave to send it to Miss Tuoba."

This is no different from a slap in the face.

Who will forget such a big event, except for those who don't want to get it? - Tuoba Yan really didn't want to get it.

The expression on Tuoba Yan's face almost cracked.

She took a deep breath.

Mama didn't ask Tuoba Yan when she would hand over the silver, because she knew that in the whole world, probably no one dared to owe the East Palace silver, this thing was sent to you, and the silver was not delivered?

It doesn't matter, the East Palace is not short of your 10,000 taels of silver. Even when the time comes, you, don't want to mix in the upper circles of the capital anymore.

I can't afford to lose that man!

Therefore, although Mama didn't mention it, Tuoba Yan still stiffened her face and smiled: "Mama forgive me, because I don't have enough silver tickets on my body, I am about to send my slave back to the house to get the silver." ”

Mama smiled meaningfully: "It's okay, when it's convenient for Miss Tuoba, just send the silver over." The old slave still had something to do, so he retired first. ”

After speaking, he saluted in a proper manner, turned around and walked away in a chic manner.

Tuoba Yan almost crushed the thin brocade box.

……

The charity auction held by the crown princess immediately became famous in Beijing.

Because of this auction, the crown princess raised 430,000 taels of silver for the victims, and finally the princess took out 70,000 taels from her private room, made up a whole amount of 500,000 taels, and handed it over to the household department.

Not only did the people below praise each other, but even the emperor was shocked.

It is said that the emperor greatly appreciated this matter, praised the crown princess and concubine, and even said to the prince, "It is your blessing to have a woman like this."

When the prince returned to the East Palace, his footsteps were floating.

The East Palace swept up and down the low depression when it was plagued by rumors before.

Some people rejoiced here, and some people over there secretly gritted their teeth and were resentful.

The charity auction of the crown princess reached its peak after the silver taels donated by various provinces were posted on the list.

At this time, the lord of Fu'an, who had been confined to the mansion, couldn't sit still.

She specially begged Princess Zhongyong, and Princess Zhongyong begged His Majesty to give them a chance to hold such a charity auction.

First, it is to contribute to the people, and secondly, it is also because the lord of Fu'an is extremely remorseful for the mistakes he has made and wants a chance to make up for it.

In order not to skip the banquet held by the crown princess, the charity auction proposed by Princess Zhongyong changed the model.

Lots are provided by attendees, and half of the money raised will be counted as donations from the providers.

The emperor was still a little hesitant, but Princess Zhongyong cried in front of the emperor with tears in her eyes, and the emperor couldn't help but think of the hard work that King Zhongyong had made on the battlefield.

In this way, it can be regarded as a signal to the people below:

The loyal and brave palace has not fallen out of favor in front of the emperor.

Many people who missed the charity auction of the crown princess even rushed to grab the invitation to the Zhongyong Palace.

Ji Jinxing glanced at the invitation sent to the house, there was no expression on his face, and he didn't even explain half a sentence, so he went straight over the invitation to the study to deal with the matter.

Qing Xia understood a little from Ji Jinxing's attitude, and ordered to lower his head: "Let's put it away first." ”

As one of the most wealthy families in Beijing, the Pingguo Mansion did not dare to directly face the Pingguo Mansion despite the previous disagreements with the Zhongyong Palace, but the Zhongyong Mansion did not dare to directly face the Pingguo Mansion, so it naturally received an invitation.
