The auction went relatively smoothly, the first few auction items were designed by Liu Ci about the imperial court policy, two of which were auctioned off by the governor of Guangyu Prefecture, and the remaining some were pocketed by local officials of all sizes, presumably to show their loyalty to the imperial court.

However, the previous auctions made the guests familiar with the rules and procedures of the auction.

The auction items in the middle were the treasures that Liu Ci asked the money shopkeeper of Wanbao Pavilion to find, and they were also auctioned off by some young ladies and sons of the family at a price higher than the market price.

In this way, the auction proceeded in an orderly manner to the last item.

"Today's finale of our last auction is the purple hairpin designed by Ci Huai Gongzi, speaking of Ci Huai Gongzi everyone may not be familiar with it, but most of the peripherals produced by the Silk Club before are from his handwriting, I think everyone should have heard of it."

Liu Ci paused at this point, looked at the reaction of the audience, the scene that was still silent, and began to discuss lively after hearing her words, these people really don't know what to say, but they have all heard of the peripherals produced a few days ago, and I heard that they have made a lot of money because of those peripherals.

Nodding with satisfaction, Liu Ci continued with a smile: "According to him, the design inspiration of this hairpin is mainly derived from the purple grass that Prince Zhongxian loves, and the two hairpin styles complement each other, both of which are made of the best white fat warm jade, and they are carved by Master Wang, who has the best technology in the carving world, with a knife in his own hands, and there are only two in the world!" ”

The works of the master of the carving world are hard to find, and it seems that these two hostas are worth a lot of money both in terms of design and production process, and I don't know what the starting price will be this time.

Just when everyone in the audience was disagreeing, Liu Ci finally spoke, and said with a light smile: "Let's start bidding, the starting price is fifty taels!" The price increase for each auction must not be less than ten taels! ”

After hearing this starting price, everyone in the audience was surprised, according to their conjecture, the starting price of this white hosta, even if there is no five hundred taels, there should be three hundred taels, I didn't expect the final price to be set at fifty taels, such a cheap price is definitely not a loss, with such an idea, everyone in the audience almost did not hesitate to join the bidding.

"One hundred taels! I'll give a hundred taels! ”

"One hundred and forty taels!"

"One hundred and eighty taels!"

"Two hundred taels!"

These two hairpins are a pair, but the styles are not the same, if you don't give it to others as a gift after taking it, you can keep one for yourself, and the other can also be given to your friends or partners, which is very suitable.

The money shopkeeper watched such a scene from the sidelines, and couldn't help but sigh at Liu Ci's methods.

If these two hairpins were originally set at a very high starting price, there would have been many people discouraged by this starting price, and the atmosphere of the auction would definitely not be as fierce as it is now.

But looking at the atmosphere in the auction hall now, it has been hyped up, if he guessed correctly, the final transaction price of these two hairpins will definitely not be less than one thousand taels!

At the beginning, all the bidding bids were shouted in the lobby on the first floor, and the people in the private room on the second floor did not move in the slightest, and just when the guests on the first floor were almost about to settle down, the people in the private room on the second floor also began to shout.

"Box No. 3 bids two thousand taels!"

As soon as this voice came out, it immediately quieted down many people on the first floor who were still lucky, this price was a whole thousand taels more than the price shouted at the end just now, and I don't know which family made such a bold move.

Liu Ci looked at the box over there, box three, isn't that the box where Qu Qiushuang is? The corners of her mouth couldn't help but evoke a triumphant smile, she knew that it was really right to invite the eldest lady of the richest man on this occasion today, and ordinary people did not have the courage to increase the price by 1,000 taels as soon as they came up, it seemed that she was bound to develop this pair.

Box No. 3, from the moment this pair of hairpins was served, Qu Qiushuang's gaze never looked away, it turned out that Brother Huai's favorite was Purple Youcao? Since this is the case, then he must take these two hairpins today, one can be kept for himself and the other can be given to Brother Huai, if he receives this hairpin, he will be very happy.

Thinking of Xiao Yuhuai happily calling her name, Qu Qiushuang couldn't hold back her mood of wanting to take pictures of these two hairpins.

"Two thousand taels once, two thousand taels and two thousand, two thousand taels and three......" Just when Liu Ci was about to knock down the small hammer in her hand excitedly, a voice suddenly interrupted her.

"Box No. 1 is two thousand five hundred taels."

Box One? Xiao Yuhuai? What the hell is he going to do? After Liu Ci realized that it was Xiao Yuhuai who was raising the price, the whole person was not good, wouldn't it be good for her to make a deal with Qu Qiushuang?

"Three thousand taels out of box three!"

Hearing that Qu Qiushuang followed the price increase, Liu Ci was a lot more relieved, but before she could relax in one breath, she heard another voice coming.

"Box No. 1 is three thousand five hundred taels."

Big brother, don't you make trouble anymore, okay?

"Four thousand taels out of box three!"

Yes, yes, Miss Qu is rich, so it's not bad to increase the price, I beg you, prince, don't add it.

It's a pity that Xiao Yuhuai doesn't seem to be able to hear Liu Ci's prayer in his heart at all.

"Six thousand taels from box one."

Obediently, this guy's family also directly added 1,500 taels, do you think you have no place to spend more money?

Qu Qiushuang's face in the No. 3 box had completely darkened, five thousand taels was already her bottom line, but she didn't expect the other party to not give an inch, and she would directly cross five thousand taels, increase the price by one thousand five hundred taels, and directly reach six thousand taels.

But in order to conceive her brother in vain, she fought hard! His eyes motioned to the people around her and asked her to continue to increase the price.

"Six thousand and ten taels from box three."

Hearing that the price was only increased by ten taels here, Liu Ci knew that he had reached Qu Qiushuang's bottom line, and immediately began to plead bitterly with Xiao Yuhuai in his heart, Lord Wang, I beg you, you must not want it! Don't add it anymore!

Originally, it should be her job as a host to raise prices, but now that she encounters this situation, she doesn't want the two of them to continue to raise prices, so wouldn't it be good for her to make a deal with Qu Qiushuang?

There was silence on the field, and just when Liu Ci thought that Xiao Yuhuai had finally heard her heart and stopped raising the price, a sentence was poured down like a basin of cold water.

"Box No. 1 bids 10,000 taels!"
