The five colored pearls were finally auctioned by the two groups at a high price of 160,000 taels of silver.

Even Bai Ling couldn't help but smack his tongue, he didn't expect that in the Western Han Kingdom, the price of pearls would be so high.

"Husband, those pearls I sold in the Eastern Han Dynasty have lost a lot." Bai Ling stroked his chest and said distressedly.

"Scarcity is expensive, and if you supply it for a long time, you will definitely not be able to reach this price." Shangguan Yu soothed.

Bai Ling nodded, she naturally understands this truth, but she will still feel distressed.

Even if it is a long-term supply of colored pearls from the Western Han Dynasty, the price will definitely be 30% higher than that in the Eastern Han Dynasty.

However, in the Eastern Han Dynasty, it is retail, and in the Western Han Dynasty, it can only be a volume, and there is no difference in price.

"I understand, I just think that the price of the same thing is very different, and I am a little incompetent to accept." Playing with Shangguan Yu's well-defined fingers, Bai Ling smiled and said: "But it doesn't matter, there are a lot of treasures in the Western Han Kingdom, and some of us make money, you just have to be responsible for being beautiful like a flower." ”

Laughing and laughing at Bai Ling's changeable expression, Shangguan Yu raised his hand on her forehead and flicked it lightly.

Knock knock.

There was a knock on the door, Shangguan Yu and Bai Ling glanced at each other, and sat down.

"Son, Mrs., there is a guest who wants to see the two, I don't know if it is convenient?" The steward came in person, and his attitude was very friendly, completely looking at the eyes of the God of Wealth, looking at the husband and wife.

However, it can make the steward break the rules and come to inquire in person, which also means that the other party's identity is unusual.

"Since it's the steward who speaks, I'm someone to give this face." Shangguan Yu used Duan Yulang's identity, and he didn't feel awkward at all.

"Please prepare the silver ticket for the steward, we husband and wife still have something to do, and we can't delay." As a fan of wealth, Bai Ling naturally wants to urge.

160,000 taels of silver, according to the rules, the seller has to pay a commission of 20%, since it is 32,000 taels, you can take 128,000 taels, which is not a small amount.

In addition to the bag of pearls, the whispering auction price was sold to the steward for 30%, which was an even larger amount.

The steward hurriedly replied: "Madame, just rest assured, I will go to prepare the silver ticket and exchange it at HSBC Yinzhuang." ”

"Hmm." Bai Ling replied lightly, thinking about going back and buying jade with all the silver, and it could be multiplied several times when it changed hands, and he couldn't help but be secretly proud in his heart.

The formal business has not been done, so I made a lot of money first, and this time I came to the Western Han Kingdom to really not lose money.

Shangguan Yu noticed Bai Ling's look of being a fan of wealth, and couldn't help but shake his head funny, waving his hand to signal that the steward could go down and make arrangements.

"Do you want me to avoid it?" After the door was closed, Bai Ling looked at Shangguan Yu and asked.

"You and I are husband and wife, why should we avoid it?" Knowing Bai Ling's concerns, Shangguan Yu said indifferently: "Madame is the real master in charge of the family's money, and her husband doesn't know the other party's intentions, so he doesn't dare to make decisions without permission." ”

"The children can be taught." Bai Ling couldn't help laughing, got up and came to Shangguan Yu's side, and touched the top of his head.

When a guest arrives, Bai Ling, as a woman, can only sit beside Shangguan Yu, which is the way of hospitality.

Unless the other party is a junior, or the status is lower than herself, a woman cannot sit in the second seat.

Although Bai Ling sneered at the breaking rules of this era, he was unwilling to fight with others for a trivial matter, so he simply complied with it.

After all, Bai Ling usually treats guests and is the absolute host, and there is no male superiority or inferiority.

But in front of outsiders, giving Shangguan Yu face, this is what he should cooperate with as a wife.

Privately......

Bai Ling thought about it, and couldn't help laughing, provoking Shangguan Yu's curious gaze.

However, this time Shangguan Yu didn't have time to ask, and there was another knock on the door.

Seeing Bai Ling with his hands on his knees, his eyes slightly constricted, looking like a virtuous little daughter-in-law, Shangguan Yu almost laughed.

The big hand held Bai Ling's small hand and gently squeezed it twice, Shangguan Yu withdrew it and said, "Please come in." ”

This time it was still the way led by the steward, and he respectfully sent a man with extraordinary instruments and luxurious clothes into the door.

"A few people chatted slowly, and there were people waiting outside the door, just ask for something." The steward nodded, stepped back and closed the door.

"The two of you are from the Eastern Han Dynasty?" The man sat down and asked.

"Exactly." Shangguan Yu replied briefly, and did not greet him, but asked vigilantly: "Our husband and wife, the first time we came to the Western Han Kingdom to do business, we don't know Your Excellency, I don't know what Your Excellency wants to see our husband and wife, what is the matter?" ”

The man lifted the placket of his shirt and looked at Bai Ling without a trace, meaning that he hoped that the woman would avoid it.

"There are never any secrets between me and my wife. If you need my wife to recuse me, I'm sorry, and I can only take my leave. Shangguan Yu said displeasedly.

"Duan Gongzi and his wife are in deep love, so the king said it bluntly." The man identified himself and said: "This king is the ninth prince of the Western Han Dynasty, and he is the same mother as His Majesty today. The queen mother had a strange disease, and the imperial doctor said that she needed more than 100 black pearls to make medicine. ”

"So today, the reason why the pearl is auctioned at this price is also because someone wants to seek wealth from it?" Bai Ling was a little reluctant to accept it.

"Yes, not all." The Ninth Prince didn't like to talk to women, but for Shangguan Yu's sake, he still replied with a few sentences.

"Please also ask the Ninth Prince to speak bluntly, if we can take out more than 100 black pearls, what kind of convenience can the Nine Princes provide for our Duan family?" Shangguan Yu has the posture of a businessman, seeking benefits for 'himself'.

"As long as this king can do things that do not harm the interests of the Western Han Kingdom and the dignity of the royal family, this king will do his best. As long as the king is there for a day, he will protect the Duan family in the Western Han Dynasty to do business smoothly. The Nine Princes promised.

"It's a deal." Shangguan Yu did not propose to write down the paperwork, but when the Ninth Prince was about to speak, he turned his head and said to Bai Ling: "Madame, do you have any requirements?" With the reputation of the nine princes of the Western Han Kingdom, he will not break his promise. ”

"Including the so-and-so county lord, if you want to embarrass us, will the Nine Princes also support us as a couple?" After thinking for a while, Bai Ling asked.

It is really the ninth prince who has spoken first, and it cannot damage the dignity of the royal family of the Western Han Dynasty.

And that county lord, although he himself is an existence that is detrimental to the dignity of the royal family, will indeed bring trouble to Bai Ling and his wife.

"Including." The Nine Princes did not hesitate, and also understood who Bai Ling was referring to.

In the Western Han Dynasty, there is only one county lord who dares to run rampant.

"I don't have any other conditions, but when we go out, it is impossible for us to carry so many precious pearls on our bodies, after all, black pearls are also very valuable in the Eastern Han Dynasty. If the Nine Princes can wait, can we allow someone to go back and pick it up, it is estimated that it will be delivered within a month. Bai Ling deliberately delayed.

The pearls in the space are all packed in boxes.

Not to mention more than 100 pieces, it is more than 1,000 pieces, and Bai Ling can also take them out.

But Shangguan Yu is interested in the Nine Princes, which means that it will be of great use, and the contact must not be cut off at one time.

"How many more do you have?" The Nine Princes frowned, but they didn't mean to be embarrassed.

Bai Ling handed the purse to Shangguan Yu and asked him to find out what he was carrying first.

The purse opened, and hundreds of colorful pearls rolled out roundly.

Each pearl, impeccable, is perfect, glowing softly in the light.

Although the pearl taken out by Bai Ling is in good condition, it is the smallest in the space in terms of size, so it is naturally not the best.

"Eight." Shangguan Yu put the eight black pearls together and put all the other pearls away.
