Tang Xi didn't ask a word, and immediately opened a dark compartment and took out a plate of black wooden beads from it. Some have numbers written on them, others written in millions.

Tang Xi took out a wooden ball of five or a thousand from the lacquer plate. Open a copy of the floor and throw the ball directly into the small hole that is exposed at the back of the board.

Soon, the sound of rumbling wooden balls could be heard throughout the Mancui Building, and it was estimated that the bids of each room were all converging along the slide of the small hole.

After a while, they received the results of the first round of bidding.

Qin Zhongzhi faced the copper pipe: "The highest bid in the first round is 50,000 taels. ”

After saying that, there was no sound in the brass pipe. Obviously, there is no intention to say who will make the highest bid.

Tang Xi followed up and asked, "Dare to ask Da Langjun what to bid for the second round?" If you want to, you can not bid. ”

The four people on Liu Song's side didn't expect that someone would bid 50,000 taels in the first round. Logically speaking, shouldn't we all test each other first?

Tan Zhi said coldly: "It seems that someone wants to suppress the momentum of several other parties in one fell swoop." ”

The four of them were still sneering at each other, and the people who were eager to fight had a good time now had to be twisted into a rope.

Xie Hui said: "Why don't we bid first?" Wait until the end to add it, so that the price will not be raised all the way. ”

Wang Wulang also nodded, "If you keep bidding each other, it is easy to arouse each other's aggressiveness." On the contrary, when the battle is safe, it is easier for people to give up when they are stabbed horizontally and forced by others. ”

Tan Cang was silent and did not speak. My sister just wants to make the price high, so she can take the opportunity to pit the emperor. But as an envoy of Song, it is difficult for him to ignore his duties, which is really contradictory.

Tan Zhi thought for a while and asked Tang Xidao, "What will happen if we don't bid in the next round?" ”

Tang Xi said bluntly: "If someone bids higher than 50,000 taels, it doesn't matter if Lang Jun doesn't bid. It's just that I'm afraid, everyone wants to bargain in the end, but no one bids higher than 50,000 taels in the second round. If this is the case, the jade seal will go to the party who bid 50,000 taels in the first round. ”

All four young men frowned. This kind of betting is different from a brothel in Qinglou, you have no way of knowing whether someone else will bid or how much. This forces people like them who want to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight first, and then make a move last, have to follow the bid.

As long as everyone bids, there is no doubt that the price of this jade seal will rise.

"Why don't we bid fifty-one thousand taels?" Tan Cang said tentatively, "In this way, the price has not been raised too much, but it will not be robbed of the jade seal for 50,000 taels." ”

After Tan Cang finished speaking, he went to see Tan Zhi, and Tan Zhi thought about it and nodded. Tang Xi immediately took out the corresponding black wood beads from the lacquered wooden plate. When Qin Zhongzhi's voice came from the copper pipe again, asking all parties to make a second round of bidding, Tang Xi threw the black wooden ball into the small hole in the ground.

At the same time, wooden balls from other rooms also rolled out one after another. Tan Cang lay on the ground and listened for a while, unable to distinguish which direction the ball came out and which direction did not come out.

Wang Wulang was also curious, but the identity of the clan's sister-in-law made him unable to lie on the ground and listen anyway, so he could only stretch his neck to look at Tan Cang.

Tang Xi couldn't help but smile and said, "Erlangjun, you don't even know who is in which room, even if you hear the direction of the ball, you can't guess why." ”

Hearing this, Tan Cang stood up awkwardly, and just wanted to defend himself, when he heard Qin Zhongzhi's voice coming from the brass pipe, "The highest bid in the second round is fifty-one thousand taels." All six are the same. ”

……

All four of them had deflated expressions. I thought I was smart and my little abacus was fine, but I didn't expect everyone to think the same.

And what's even more embarrassing is that the next three rounds all ended with a growth of 1,000 taels. The price of the heirloom jade seal is slowly rising like a turtle.

At the end of the fifth round, the price of the jade seal became fifty-four thousand taels.

Wang Wulang and Xie Huilian, the two unaware, had begun to be a little anxious. But Tanzhi thinks it's good to go on like this, just to delay time.

There was a clatter of gears on the walls of the room. Tang Xi walked to a dark grid, pushed open the flap, and took out a plate of tea and snacks from it.

"A few Lang Jun must also be thirsty, let's drink a cup of tea first and moisten your throat."

Tangxi poured tea for the four of them and spread snacks. The teacup is very small, really only the amount of a sip of tea. The refreshments were also very small, which made the Tan brothers who had not attended the night banquet very depressed. Such a big snack is not enough to stuff your teeth, how can you fill your stomach?

Tan Cang muttered and threw the dim sum into his mouth, complaining about the eldest brother: "It must be my sister who heard that you doubted her, so she deliberately only gave us such a little thing to eat!" ”

Tan-sik didn't bother to pay attention to him, thinking about how to bid next. Yu'er is afraid that she deliberately used refreshments to pause the auction, and in the sixth round for a while, the price of the jade seal is afraid that it will change.

Sure enough, in the sixth round, although Tan Zhi still insisted on only increasing the price by 1,000 taels, the highest bid had reached 60,000 taels. For countries like Northern Yan and Western Qin, 60,000 taels is almost their tax income for a year.

This price jump is like a stone stirring up a thousand waves. After only two rounds, the price of the jade seal became 100,000 taels.

Although Tan-sik still doesn't know who the bidder is. Looking at the rise in this price, it is estimated that it is not a joint bid. Otherwise, what about pressing yourself and having fun?

Qin Zhongzhi and Tan Yingyu always listened to the movements in each room. Qin Zhongzhi was a little worried, "Girl, this price has risen so fast, I'm afraid that the jade seal won't be able to be repaired." ”

Tan Yuyu was listening carefully to the whispering sound coming from the brass pipe, she lowered her voice, and said almost in a breath: "Do you believe that old man of the Ying family? Even if he repairs the jade seal, we will also fall into the hands of Yingfeng. Rather than this, it is better to make the price higher and attract them to grab it. As long as the jade seal is lost outside the Qiu Chi, it has nothing to do with us. ”

Qin Zhongzhi was puzzled: "Without the jade seal, how will the two Lang Jun return to the Southern Song Dynasty?" ”

Tan Zhaoyu raised his eyebrows and smiled mysteriously, "Second brother secretly told me just now that Liu Yilong only prepared 500,000 taels, and if this amount is exceeded, let them give up the jade seal." ”

Qin Zhongzhi was surprised, "Could it be that the girl didn't plan to let Liu Songying?" ”

Tan Yuyu nodded, "If you lose the auction, you will eat at most and hang up, which will not endanger my father's position in the court." If you take a fake one back, Yingfeng is Liu Yilong's cronies, and it is difficult to distinguish friend from foe, then he will hang a sword above his head! ”

Qin Zhongzhi pursed his lips, just looking at Tan Cang's posture, but it was inevitable, he thought that the girl would definitely help him......
