Chapter 448

Looking at the appearance of Mrs. Dongdu Hou and Lu Huaiqing talking happily, Tuoba Yan stood aside with a smile, and a light of unknown meaning flashed in her eyes.

She doesn't like Fang Hanniang.

But anything that can be done to Fang Hanniang, she thinks it is very interesting.

Separated by many tables and crowds, Tuoba Yan glanced at Fang Hanniang's table from a distance, but could only see a slender back.

After the table was almost full, the charity auction initiated by the crown princess began.

Since it was many ladies and families who came to cheer on the scene, the princess naturally wanted to come up and talk about the scene first.

She first sighed about the wisdom and martial arts of today's saints, sympathized with the people, and then reflected on her own shortcomings as the housewife of the East Palace, hating herself for not being able to contribute more to the people affected by the disaster.

The crown princess was dressed very gracefully and elegantly, she looked at the many ladies under the stage kindly, and smiled kindly: "Since we are in the name of 'charity' today, we naturally want to contribute our own strength to the common people in the world." After all, the ladies of our back house can't just be limited to the matter of the one acre and three points of land in their back house, since they are in a high position, they naturally have to be sympathetic...... "The princess's expression became a little sad, "Now that the snowstorm has been raging for many days, there are hundreds of people's houses in Darong who have been blown down, and they can't eat or eat, and they don't have enough clothes. Let's not say much else, the objects taken out by the palace today are treasured by the palace for many years, some are the dowry of the palace, and some are the birthday gifts given by His Royal Highness to the palace. After today's auction, the money you use to auction your items will be donated to the people affected by the disaster. At that time, the palace will also post a list on the city wall, so that the people will know that it is a good deed that you have done. ”

After the crown princess finished speaking, after a while, some of the female dependents below showed excitement, some fell into contemplation, and some frowned without a trace, but no matter what, everyone was praising the princess's benevolence and compassion on the surface.

After some genuine or false touting, today's auction begins.

Because this is the first time that the ladies of the high-ranking families in Beijing have encountered this kind of thing, they seem to be a little out of proportion.

When it came up for auction, it was all small objects such as hairpins and arm rings, but they were unexpectedly sold at high prices.

These high-priced people are all small families with a little wealth without exception.

The crown princess had to get up from the seat in front of her again, and persuaded politely: "The silver taels that everyone took are far higher than the value of these small objects themselves......

However, the wives of those small families felt that their faces were very bright, and they all said, "Princess, this is also a small heart for the people affected by the disaster, regardless of the value of objects." ”

Since all the words were said here, the crown princess also sat down.

In the middle, there are gradually some cultural relics and treasures, such as the calligraphy and painting left by a calligrapher in the previous dynasty, the handiwork of a certain master, etc., but it has set off a small *.

This time, not only the daughters of some small households, but also many top gate valves have also begun to shout.

These noble ladies sat there gracefully, but the price was ruthless and accurate.

They had already watched several auctions, and they had a rough idea of this auction in their hearts.

This is a good thing to give the family prestige.

First, actively responding to the charity auction held by the crown princess is to sell the face of the East Palace. Second, when the time comes, the crown princess will also announce the list of those who donate money, think about it, how famous this is!

Grandma Qiuer's heart is a little itchy.

In fact, the top is auctioning a fragment of an ancient soldier book of the previous dynasty, and that ancient soldier book has been read by Second Young Master Ruan several times, and he has never had the opportunity to see it. Grandma Qiu Er once wanted to use this ancient soldier book to make a birthday gift for Second Young Master Ruan, but who knew that it had been wasted and spent a lot of manpower, but no trace of this book could be found. Who knew that this book was actually here in the East Palace, and it was also put up for auction as an auction item.

Grandma Qiu Er was about to move, and her heart was itching, and she wanted to take a picture of this ancient soldier book for Second Young Master Ruan.

Especially the second young master Ruan was a lot haggard for something wonderful a few days ago, and Grandma Qiu Er wanted to treat her husband even more.

Grandma Qiu Er couldn't help but glance at her daughter Ruan Zhilan, who was sitting by her side honestly.

Since the incident of King Rui's son, Ruan Zhilan has always seemed to have changed, her temperament has been much quieter, and she has become more calm. If it was put aside, Grandma Qiu Er didn't know how happy she would be that her daughter had opened her mind and changed her sex, but now, this kind of situation that made her daughter's personality change greatly after external stimulation made Qiu Er's grandmother feel very sorry for her daughter Ruan Zhilan.

There are also some reasons why she filmed this ancient soldier book for her daughter Ruan Zhilan.

Because of the incident that Ruan Zhilan made trouble, Second Young Master Ruan didn't give Ruan Zhilan a good face for a few days.

Second Grandma Qiu wanted her daughter to take this book and coax Second Young Master Ruan when the time came.

However, Grandma Qiu Er couldn't help but think of the words that Han Niang told them before leaving, saying that the small objects in front were all testing the waters, and the back was the main thing.

Grandma Qiu Er glanced at Fang Hanniang with a little hesitation.

Fang Hanniang seemed to feel something, and nodded slightly towards Grandma Qiuer.

Grandma Qiu's second grandmother exuded a look of surprise with a pair of wonderful eyes.

As soon as the mother-in-law who introduced the origin of the ancient soldier's book fell, and the maid on the side began to preside over the bidding, Grandma Qiu Er immediately quoted five hundred taels.

This shouting price has made some people look sideways.

You know, it's just an ancient soldier's book, it's still a remnant, and the five hundred taels are considered a high price.

And this is the first time that the Pingguo Mansion has bid in this auction.

As the mother-in-law of Qiu Er's grandmother, Mrs. Mo San naturally understood that her daughter-in-law was filming this military book for her son, and a slight smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.

As a mother-in-law, she naturally hopes that her daughter-in-law will always keep her son in her heart.

Grandma Qiu Er shouted five hundred taels at once, originally planning to scare away the rest of the people who had increased the price, which was also a point she realized after observing this auction for a long time.

It's just that she did a lot of calculations, but she didn't expect that there was another person behind her who quoted a price.

"One thousand taels."

When Grandma Qiu Er heard this, her eyebrows furrowed slightly.

She glanced at the sound without a trace, and found that there was a girl sitting on the other side of the table, with an alien style in her eyebrows.

Grandma Qiu Er is also from Beijing, so she naturally knows that this girl is Tuoba Yan, a noble daughter of the Hu people who was sent to Darong when she was a child.

Tuoba Yan sat with Mrs. Dongdu Hou, Mrs. Dongdu Hou smiled, as if she was a little blind to everyone's eyes, and chatted with Tuoba Yan: "I didn't expect Miss Tuoba to be interested in military books." ”

Tuoba Yan smiled and said: "I have lived in Darong since I was a child, and I am quite curious about Darong's art of war. She didn't shy away from meeting the eyes of Grandma Qiuer, her eyebrows were like the moon, and she smiled, "Grandma Qiuer, I'm offended." ”

The smile on Grandma Qiu's face faded a little.

"Fifteen hundred taels."

Grandma Qiu Er's expression was faint.

Although they are only three rooms, they also have a lot of their own industries, Qiu Er's grandmother has a spicy personality, and she is also a good hand at taking care of the industry, and she naturally has a lot of spare money on hand.

If you have money, your waist will be hard.

Tuoba Yan's smile remained unchanged, and Sakuraguchi opened slightly: "Two thousand taels." ”

Now everyone is a little sideways.

You must know that many of the people here are in the circle of high-ranking families in Beijing, and they don't look up and see each other when they come and go on weekdays, and they will leave a point or two of affection for each other when shouting prices.

After all, it's not an enemy, so there's no need to raise the price layer by layer.

However, this Hu noblewoman Tuoba Yan did just that.

These noble ladies inevitably want to muttered a few words in their hearts, they are really people from a wild land, although they have lived in Beijing for a long time, they still don't know much about their Darong's sophistication.

However, no one said anything, just looked back and forth at Grandma Qiu Er and Tuoba Yan with the eyes of a good show.

Mrs. Mo San was also a little annoyed.

This Tuoba Yan is clearly against his own family.

Mrs. Mo San looked down from the table without a trace, grabbed Grandma Qiu's hand, and handed a silver ticket from her sleeve.

Grandma Qiu's eyes suddenly lit up.

Although she didn't know what the denomination of the silver ticket handed over by her mother-in-law was, what she knew was that her mother-in-law was expressing her attitude and asking for the price with confidence.

Besides, for the sake of insurance, Grandma Qiu Er has a lot of silver tickets in her arms today, and she is not afraid of Tuoba Yan at all.

"Three thousand taels."

Grandma Qiu's voice was faint.

The crowd was in an uproar!

The crown princess has a lot of connections with the Pingguo Mansion, and she couldn't help frowning slightly when she saw this.

I knew that Grandma Qiu Er liked this military book so much, so she didn't take it out for auction and directly forwarded it to her.

Tuoba Yan had a hint of surprise on her face, but there was a smile in her big graceful eyes: "I don't know, it turns out that Grandma Qiu Er is so bound to get this ancient soldier book...... It's a pity ......"

Tuoba Yan shook his head slightly, "I also want to see this ancient soldier book." ”

She smiled and shouted again: "Five thousand taels." ”

As soon as this price came out, the field fell silent.

It's not that you can't get five thousand taels of silver, but it's the highest price that will come up in this auction.

No matter how much the price was raised, it would not stop at 4,000 taels of silver in the end.

Although 5,000 taels of silver is really not a small amount, most of the people present are wealthy families with money in their arms.

But take 5,000 taels to buy an ancient soldier book, it is still a fragment, and I believe that the people present are unwilling.

Grandma Qiu Er's eyelids were not raised: "Eight thousand taels." ”

directly raised three thousand taels!

It was a small repayment, and Tuoba Yan suddenly raised the hatred of two thousand taels.
