Chapter 406: Implicit Advertising
The offer is neither high nor low, neither bad for Kang Shilin, but he also expressed his respect for Mr. Deadwood for the emperor, and no one can say what he is wrong with. Downstairs, the messenger came to the side of the group of quotation boys, but they didn't pass the word, but stood aside and waited.
He can be sent to serve Grandpa Xie's box, so he is naturally extremely clever.
He knew that after the last offer, the identity of the No. 9 card was revealed, and many people were staring at the movement of the little guy holding the card. If he went to talk to the No. 9 sign-bearer now, everyone might stop and not make an offer. In this way, Xie Gong's task of waiting for him will not be completed.
So he stood still, staring at the offer on the field with his eyes wide and ears pricked up.
Fortunately, the price of Kang Shilin's paintings had never been 10,000 taels of silver before. At this time, the price was 20,000, and there were a lot fewer bidders, and the speed of the quotation slowed down, only three people were bidding back and forth, and one person occasionally interjected, so there was no need for the little guy to be too nervous.
Finally, seeing that the price had risen to 23,800 taels of silver, the little guy hurriedly stepped forward and quoted a price to the little guy holding the card.
The little guy who held up the card immediately raised the number nine card and shouted, "Twenty-five thousand taels of silver." ”
As soon as I saw that it was a number nine card, the audience fell silent.
Everyone's eyes were on Guan Wentao.
Guan Wentao originally wanted to pretend, but now when he saw everyone's eyes blazing and waiting for him to beat the drum, his pressure increased suddenly, and he didn't dare to talk nonsense anymore.
He picked up the small hammer and tapped it, and asked quickly, "Is there anyone bidding for 25,000 taels of silver?" If not, twenty-five thousand taels of silver once, twenty-five thousand taels of silver twice, and twenty-five thousand taels of silver three times. Deal! ”
With a "thud", his little hammer fell to the drum.
Hearing this, Kang Shilin reacted, frowned, and said, "What's the matter with this Gonggong Xie?" I asked him to quote less, how could he quote the same price as Zhiwei? ”
"Master, this is good. It's true. Zhao Ruxi said, "If the price of my painting is higher than yours, I will also be criticized." It couldn't be better. The paintings of our master and apprentice were the highest prices in tonight's auction, which is a good story. ”
"Haha, I think the same price couldn't be better. Grandpa Xie, this is a good thing. Wu Zong laughed.
"yes, that's good." Wu Huaisi said, "Master, you love your disciples, but you also have to consider the emperor's feelings." If Gonggong Xie dares to give you a lower price than the little junior sister, he will definitely be punished by the emperor when he goes back. ”
When Kang Shilin said it just now, he thought of this. But Kang Shilin is like this for the sake of the little junior sister, and the little junior sister is present, so he can't say anything. Anyway, the result was good, and he didn't need to say more.
Grandpa Xie's approach was as he expected.
Kang Shilin also thinks this is good.
He waved his hand: "Okay, it's already like this anyway." Even if it's the wrong move. ”
On the stage, Guan Wentao had stepped down and replaced Xu Zhou.
Xu Zhou said some closing remarks, and said, "Thank you for coming." Tonight's auction was a success. Eighty percent of the profits from tonight's auction will be used to form the Salesian Home, thank you to the guests who bid for our lots, and the Salesian Home will also have your love, thank you. Okay, that's the end of tonight's auction, let's go slowly. When you go out, you will receive a small gift from our auction house. ”
After Xu Zhou said this, the people in the seats downstairs did not leave, but sat in their positions and did not move.
They had to wait for the nobles and adults upstairs to go first.
Although the upstairs box enters and exits through another door, it is courtesy and respect.
Kang Shilin and the others sat in the box and didn't move, and waited until the little maid at the door came in and reminded: "A few adults can go downstairs." Then everyone got up and went downstairs and left the auction house.
When I went out, there was a mother-in-law who gave gifts at the door, but instead of taking the initiative to hand them to the masters, I summoned the next person to receive them.
It was late at this time, and when everyone went out, they took their leave and went home.
Sitting in the carriage, Zhao Ruxi asked Qingfeng, "What gift did they give?" ”
The gift came in a small wooden box. Just in case, when the mother-in-law gave them the box, she first opened the box and showed them the contents before loading it and handing it to them.
Qingfeng said: "It seems to be a piece of silk." ”
Zhao Ruxi looked at the box curiously.
The clothes of the ancients were wide and long, and they used a lot of cloth, so the ancients gave cloth or bought cloth, all of which were counted on "horses".
The box in Qingfeng's hand is not big, and the silk contained in it should only be used as a handkerchief, right?
Xiao Lingyan, should that guy be so stingy?
The carriage was darkly lit, and only the light from the lantern hanging in front of the carriage came in. Even if you want to see it, you can't really see it. Zhao Ruxi didn't ask Qingfeng to take it out.
It wasn't until he returned to the house and sent someone to report the safety of the old lady and the people in the Zhu family's courtyard, and Zhao Ruxi returned to the bamboo cultivation courtyard that he opened the box curiously.
It's really a piece of silk inside.
However, this satin is very thin and soft, so although the size can be made into a skirt, it can be folded and put into a small box.
"Ah, it's pretty." Qingfeng said with emotion.
In ancient times, printing and dyeing technology was not developed, so whether it was cloth or satin, it was basically plain. If you want flowers, you have to embroider them.
But the silk was printed. The flowers on it are brightly colored and very beautiful.
Qingfeng touched the flowers on it and wondered: "This forging imprints the flowers on it, and the color will be muddy after washing?" ”
Zhao Ruxi said: "You come to a basin of water, don't you know if you wash it?" ”
Qingfeng hesitated: "If it fades, this piece of material will be ruined." ”
"Don't worry about it, just do what you are told."
Qingfeng had no choice but to go out and tell Yi Cui to fetch water and soak the silk in the water.
"Rub it." Zhao Ruxi commanded.
Yi Cui rubbed the silk like washing clothes.
"Girl, it doesn't fade." Yi Cui exclaimed in surprise.
Zhao Ruxi and Qingfeng also saw it.
The water in the basin was clear, not half cloudy.
Zhao Ruxi thoughtfully: "Qingfeng, look at the box, is there a small piece of paper?" ”
Qingfeng shook his head: "No." ”
When she took out the silk just now, she saw that there was nothing in the box except this piece of silk.
"It shouldn't be." Zhao Ruxi wondered.
Xiao Lingyan gave something bad, he actually gave everyone a piece of silk. The routine is so familiar, she seems to have returned to the era of giving small gifts in modern shopping malls.
Giving gifts is fake, advertising is real.
But there are no small advertisements that come with silk, which is very unreasonable.
"Ah, there's a word engraved on the box." Qingfeng checked the box again, and finally found that the cover of the box was engraved with words.
Take a closer look under the lamp, there are three big characters written on it: "Jinyunfang".
Yes, the ads are more subtle.
