Considering that the situation in ancient times was different from that of modern times, men and women could not sit at the same table, and worried that the people on the scene would be affected by power, and there would be high-ranking officials, top tycoons, and others would not dare to offer, Xiao Lingyan asked people to inspect all the teahouses in the capital, and directly bought one of them at a high price.

The teahouse he bought was originally used for listening to books.

In order to make it easier for everyone to see the storyteller's expression and hear the storyteller's voice, a high platform was built in the middle, and in order to amplify the sound, four empty cylinders were buried in front of the stage. The amplification effect is good.

Rows of seats were placed under the stage, around which a semicircular two-story building was built, and the upper floors were all semi-open boxes. Only a fence was built in the place facing the storytelling platform.

After Xiao Lingyan bought this teahouse, he asked the craftsmen to quickly repair it, adjusted the tables and chairs, and installed a translucent curtain for the semi-open box, which became the venue for the auction.

During this time, not only Zhao Ruxi cultivated his subordinates, but Xiao Lingyan also cultivated a group of people. He retrained a group of dead soldiers, and also took in some disciples and servants who wanted to follow him.

However, the ancients had never seen such a thing as an auction after all. Just listening to him, there are some places that still can't be understood; In addition, the time is tight, and Xiao Lingyan is also free, and he is mainly responsible for this first auction.

Just now, he was discussing with Xiao Lingpu about the allocation of the upstairs box.

There are too many dignitaries and nobles in the capital, and there are too few boxes, so how to distribute them is a problem. If it is not well distributed, it is very easy to offend people.

Fortunately, the ancients had a good habit of replying to posts after receiving them. Therefore, Xiao Lingyan knows who will come and who will not.

Because this business clearly played the banner of Xiao Lingyan, even if the crown prince and the third and fourth princes were not in harmony with Xiao Lingyan, they had to pretend to be a brother and a humble and harmonious appearance on the surface. So they all said they were coming.

The emperor and the prince all gave face, and the princes, nobles and ministers below naturally did not dare not come. I don't have time, and the wife at home can also come to see the excitement. Therefore, none of the invitations sent out by Xiao Lingyan refused, and they all said they wanted to come.

After receiving the reply, he discussed with Xiao Lingpu, sorted the powerful from high to low, and then arranged the seats.

The box in the middle of the upstairs must be for the emperor's chamberlain. On both sides are the boxes of the crown prince and the prince.

On both sides of the prince's box, Xiao Lingyan arranged for the prince and the prince of Zhennan and other princes and county kings. On both sides are the heads of the country's grandfather and the three secretaries and six departments.

Fortunately, the title of Dajin has been recovered over the years, and it is rarely knighted again, so the number of princes and grandfathers is not much, and the heads of the three secretaries and six departments just fill the box upstairs.

The extra one was given to Kang Shilin.

Zhao Ruxi, as Kang Shilin's apprentice, sat with the master.

The seats downstairs, Xiao Lingyan simply asked people to divide them into two rows, leaving a corridor in the middle. The aristocratic family and the official eunuch sit on both sides, and the distinction is clear. The big official sits in the front, the small official sits in the back, and so on.

This also avoids the debate between the Marquis of Pingnan and the Ministry of Officials, who should sit in the front and who should sit in the back. Otherwise, it will have to lead to a big war.

Even if everyone has the self-cultivation and doesn't make trouble on the spot, they will definitely be unhappy in their hearts. This account will have to be deducted from Xiao Lingpu's head at that time. Who called him one with Xiao Lingyan? The younger brother is not sensible, and the elder brother can't think of this?

Xiao Lingyan downstairs was busy, and upstairs Xiao Lingpu had already finished introducing the auction, and asked about the situation at the border gate, and said, "You have been back and forth, and it has been a few months." You can't afford to delay any longer. What the hell do you think? ”

Fu Yunkai did not speak.

He was a military general in the war, and he returned to Beijing for vacation in order to solve family problems, and he did not need to go to such an errand as transporting grain and grass.

But staying in the capital, he was annoyed by Xiao Lingpu and his mother, he himself knew that his family affairs could not be delayed any longer, and he couldn't find a suitable person for a while, and he was unwilling to make do, so he simply begged for an errand and avoided this annoying problem by transporting grain and grass to the border pass.

Now that I have just returned to Beijing, my ass is not yet hot, and my friend has brought up the old thing again. Fu Yunkai felt a wave of irritability in his heart.

But he also knew that his friends were for his good.

After all, he can't stay in the capital for a few years for the sake of getting married.

My father is alone at the border, and it is difficult to support him alone, and there is always something he can't take care of.

Those lieutenant generals are all from various factions, and they are eyeing their father's position, and none of them are worry-free. If my father was accidentally calculated, he might lose his life.

And himself, as the prince of Pingnan, must marry and leave a queen for the Fu family.

Otherwise, if something happens to him and his father at the border, Fu Yunlang will be plotted again, and the entire family business will become someone else's. In the second half of my mother's life, life will be difficult.

Moreover, he also had to find someone to take care of the back house for him, and he couldn't let his mother take charge of the Pingnanhou Mansion anymore and drag him and his father back behind.

He sighed heavily and rubbed his brow.

"Or, I'll arrange for Miss Cen to take Miss Mu out and let you see it? Don't always look at people with colored eyes. Not all of the girls in the family are what you think. What if this Miss Mu is a very good person? Xiao Lingpu persuaded.

"Okay." Fu Yunkai said helplessly.

……

The weather was getting colder and colder, and there were fewer classes in the training class, so Zhao Ruxi returned to the Hou Mansion early that day.

As soon as the porter saw her, he greeted her and smiled earnestly: "Girl, are you back?" The eldest young master and the sixth girl in the second room are talking to the old lady at this moment. ”

People diligently handed news to themselves, even if Zhao Ruxi was not interested in this, it was not easy to show it.

She raised an eyebrow and smiled, "Really? The six girls are also here? ”

She turned her head and instructed Qingfeng: "It's almost the New Year, and Uncle Liu is also working hard." You Ming'er will take ten catties of dry vermicelli from the Zhuangzi and give it to Uncle Liu. ”

"Ouch, thank you girl." Uncle Liu hurriedly saluted.

The group walked inside, and Qingfeng wondered, "Isn't the sixth girl going to school?" Why is she so free today? ”

The training course is also closed. Today, the training class continues to be held, and naturally it is not a day off. The Beijing Women's Academy also has classes.

Thinking about the auction that will be held tomorrow, Zhao Ruxi thought profoundly: "Maybe there is something to find me." ”

With Fu Yunlang's personality, if he makes such a big thing, he will inevitably brag in front of his sweetheart.

But the auction venue is limited, Zhao Ruyu has no power, no power and no money, no matter how much Fu Yunlang wants to sell it in front of his sweetheart, he can't arrange a box for her. If Zhao Ruyu wants to join in the fun, why don't you hit her with the idea?
