Inside the Xuanyuan Palace.

The queen handed a cup of tea to the worried Emperor Xuanyuan: "Your Majesty, the concubines want to gather all the ladies in the harem to raise money and donate it to the victims. ”

"Hmm."

"But this time it's not an ordinary fundraiser, it's an auction to buy jewelry and other items, and the highest price wins." The queen looked closely at the emperor to see how he would react.

"Oh, good!" Xuanyuan Xuanling still didn't look up.

"Brother-in-law of the emperor, donate a few squares of your old treasured inkstone, and my sister will take it to auction, and guarantee that the auction will come out at a sky-high price, and the victims will be saved." Dongfang assists on the side.

"Okay, ah! You repeat. Xuanyuan Xuanling finally raised his head.

Dongfang put Yulian's plan in front of him: "The emperor's brother-in-law has seen it, and it is feasible. ”

Xuanyuan Xuanling read the plan carefully, and he was such a smart person, of course, he could understand it completely after reading it once.

"I've given my sister all my favorite red fan pendants, please see the emperor's brother-in-law." Dongfang raised his bare fan.

Xuanyuan Xuanling couldn't hold back now, after all, it was for the livelihood of his thousands of people, and he should be an example.

"Take both sides." Xuanyuan Xuanling gritted his teeth and said.

"Your Majesty, do you want to donate two fans in your collection?" The queen asked, looking at the fan in the east.

"What? And a fan! "Emperor Xuanyuan, who has always been calm, is not calm.

Xuanyuan Xuanling thought about it carefully, no!

How can you calculate your own inkstone, not to mention, but also calculate your own baby fan.

Because of his collection of folding fans, all the paintings on the surface of the fan are made by the master.

In addition to Master Qin's Kunlun Snow Chrysanthemum, Yushan Ink and Bamboo Map; Forget the worries of the gentleman's orchid, spring snow and red plum pictures, etc., as well as Master Mei's four seasons flower blooming pictures.

Isn't it said that these fans are extremely difficult to find, and the two masters have already passed away, and they are already unique products, and if they are donated, they will never be again.

It's really terrible to donate it yourself!

"Who wrote the proposal?" Xuanyuan Xuanling suddenly remembered the most important question.

"Why don't you say it's good or not?" Dongfang asked rhetorically.

This is beyond doubt, but Xuanyuan Xuanling deliberately shook his head: "Not necessarily feasible." ”

Therefore, Xuanyuan Xuanling thought about it again before saying to the queen: "Queen, first take the end inkstone of the moonlight of the lotus pond, and the Chengni inkstone on the willow tip of the moon, if one of them can auction five hundred taels of gold, it will not be too late for me to take another one of the Gentleman's Orchid Fan." ”

Xuanyuan Xuanling is really scheming, and if he can bid this sky-high price, ask me again!

Also, he already understood in his heart that the person who made this plan could be other than the one in Gu Fangyuan.

Hmph, you dare to calculate it on me again, and you haven't settled the account with you about the gentle incense last time?

Dare to calculate again! You wait! Although Xuanyuan Xuanling counted the "Qinglian" princess in his heart, the corners of his mouth rose faintly.

Dongfang and the queen saw that the emperor said this, and they could only nod.

The queen arrived at Gufangyuan and told Yulian what the emperor meant.

Yulian said in her heart: "I underestimate this girl, right?" Don't say five hundred taels of gold, I'll shoot you a thousand taels of gold, hum! ”

After several days of intensive preparations, the auction of Gufangyuan was officially held.

On the April day of Gufang Garden, the flowers and plants are fragrant, the Zhilan is slightly smoky, and the square is full of noble ladies.

It was not the first time that they had been invited to the palace to participate in a fundraising banquet.

Therefore, I have already prepared in my heart, just take a few simple pieces of jewelry, or a few dozen taels of silver.

However, this time, there was no banquet at the fundraising banquet, and they were all gathered in a chic garden and sat in rows.

And before each person enters the venue, they also need to receive a post and a bamboo card, and the bamboo card is engraved with numbers.

On the square, a platform was erected that was not tall or low, on which a table was placed, and a gong was hung on the delicate wooden frame on the side.

The ladies were all curious, and when they opened the post, they saw that the rules of the auction were noted in detail, and the ladies were dumbfounded.

I've never seen it before!

Slow, don't want to play some new tricks, you can take the money out of the old lady's pocket, no way!

They all made up their minds, even if you can play with a flower, we won't be moved.

The auction meeting officially began, and Yulian has been silently reviewing these nights, preparing to go into battle in person and act as a buyer.

Anyway, it's good to go through the basic process of auction and buying, and people here don't know that they are not professional auction buyers, and eloquence and strategy are just as important.

Yulian tapped the gong and said loudly: "Everyone, be quiet, today's auction will start normally." The No. 1 treasure in today's auction, the No. 1 treasure is ......"

Yulian looked around the audience and deliberately sold Guanzi: "The No. 1 treasure is the precious inkstone commonly used by His Majesty the Emperor, listen well, it is the inkstone commonly used by His Majesty the Emperor, there is a moonlight map of the lotus pond carved by the master, which is extremely precious and rare in the world." ”

Before Yulian's words fell, she lifted the red silk that covered the inkstone, and when the ladies in the audience saw it, they immediately began to make noise:

Duan Yan is already of extraordinary value, plus the carving of famous teachers, or the heroic and extraordinary Emperor His Majesty Zhu pen lightly, this meaning is self-evident!

Yulian saw the reactions of the ladies in her eyes: "Only this side, only this side, and when this inkstone is in the imperial study, Mr. Dongfang often personally studies ink for the emperor." ”

Yulian casually pulled Dongfang in, but she didn't expect it to be even more boiling underneath.

"Oh my God! Mr. Dongfang, the handsome son of Yushu Linfeng, is handsome and exquisite, and His Majesty the Emperor of Yushu is handsome and handsome, and his majesty the emperor points the ink with a red pen, and the review is ......! ”

This scene, all the ladies can't suppress their excitement when they think about it!

The audience is boiling!

"Quiet, start bidding now, everyone seize the opportunity, fancy the card, only this side, only this side."

"The starting price, two hundred taels of gold, add one hundred taels for each move."

"Okay, No. 3 bids two hundred taels; No. 6 bids three hundred taels; 400 taels on the 8th, 500 taels on the 9th, 500 taels, is there anyone else who wants to increase the price? Five hundred taels once, twice! Oh, the number one is out to six hundred taels, six hundred taels once, six hundred two two, six hundred two three! Deal! ”

Yulian shouted the word "deal" with a bang, and struck the gong.

The ladies below began to heckle:

"Ah, that's the end of it, I haven't even raised my card yet?"

"Me too, how much am I trying to figure out? That's it! ”

"I'll give seven hundred taels of gold, and I'm going to shoot the emperor's inkstone." Mrs. Fang, a well-known wealthy man, stood up and shouted.

Yulian didn't blame her, because they had never participated in the auction and didn't know the truth of being outdated.

However, this lively atmosphere of competition is exactly what Yulian needs.

"Mrs. Fang, don't be impatient! You know that it is so difficult for the queen to ask for a duanyan from the emperor, only one party! If you don't take a look, we still have a lot of treasures. ”

"No, I want the emperor's inkstone, and I will give a thousand taels of gold." Mrs. Fang supported her waist with both hands, and she had a rhythm that would not stop if she couldn't shoot.

Yulian's heart blossomed, a thousand taels of gold!

Calm, calm, there is money left!

"But Mrs. Fang, our auction rules are based on the holding of cards, and if it is outdated, we really can't give it to you."

"However, seeing that Mrs. Fang is so sincere in begging the emperor's inkstone, we will beg the queen to beg His Majesty the emperor again to see if we can ask for another party's inkstone." Yulian used several words in a row, and after finishing speaking, she looked in the direction where the queen was sitting.

Before this, the queen had been muttering in her heart, didn't there be two inkstones? Why does the princess always say that it is one side?

Now that Mrs. Fang is making a fuss, she understands that it is a good means, and things are scarce and expensive, and besides, things can only be raised by scrambling.

The queen immediately stood up, nodded slightly, and cooperated with the princess and said, "I'll go and beg the emperor again!" You go ahead first. ”

Mrs. Fang hurriedly sat back, staring at the Yulian on the stage with bright eyes.

"Okay, let's bid for the No. 2 treasure, the No. 2 treasure is Mr. Dongfang's red fan pendant, the starting price is fifty taels of gold, does anyone want to bid?"

Obediently boom! Mr. Dongfang often wears a red fan pendant!

"Fifty taels for No. 1, one hundred taels for No. 2, one hundred and fifty taels for No. 9......"

The queen took the car and quickly came to the Xuanyuan Palace.

"Sister, what's going on, did the emperor's brother-in-law's inkstone sell for five hundred taels of gold?" As soon as Dongfang saw the queen, he greeted him.

"I'm here to get the emperor's Forget Your Worries Gentleman Lan Fan." The queen did not answer Dongfang's question, but walked up to Xuanyuan Xuanling with a slight smile.

"Haha, I knew the princess could do it." Dongfang shouted with a slap of his palm.

"How much gold was auctioned?" Dongfang looked at Xuanyuan Xuanling's unchanged face and continued to ask defiantly.

"The auction price of the moonlight inkstone in the lotus pond is 600 taels of gold, and the price of the willow tip head Cheng mud inkstone on the moon is estimated to be more than 1,000 taels of gold."

As soon as the queen said this, Dongfang was stunned and turned her face to look at Xuanyuan Xuanling.

At this moment, the corners of Xuanyuan Xuanling's mouth were slightly, and a slight smile was revealed, as if he was extremely reluctant to pick up the box in front of him and hand it over to the queen.

Dongfang originally wanted to see Xuanyuan Xuanling's uncomfortable expression, but what he saw was his peculiar expression that seemed to be smiling rather than smiling, and resembling anger rather than anger.

Dongfang suddenly remembered his red fan pendant again: "Sister, where is my pendant?" ”

"When I first came out, I had already called for two hundred taels of gold."

"The ladies have a really good eye! Know how to appreciate! The East was beaming again.

"By the way, do you often study ink for the emperor when you are in the study?" The queen suddenly asked Dongfang Dao.

"Ahh

Dongfang didn't know why the queen suddenly asked this, and after a sigh: "Yanmo, there is no matter!" Says who? ”

"The ink you've studied will fetch a higher price." Xuanyuan Xuanling said in a deep voice.

"Are you praising me? Or are you stepping on me? "The East was also blindsided for a while.

"Think for yourself."

The queen ignored them and hurried back to Gufangyuan.

The auction was in full swing, and when Yulian saw the queen coming back, she asked everyone to take a break for a while.

The queen walked up to the stage and handed the box to Yulian with a smile, and whispered in her ear: "The emperor's face is not very good-looking!" ”

Can it look good? I was forced to donate two inkstones, and I had to take out the baby fan, and my face would be even more ugly if I changed it.

Yulian smiled and opened the box, but when she saw the contents of the box, she was stunned, and immediately "snapped" and covered it again.
