Chapter 65: The Auction

On the shore of Slender West Lake, the restaurant stands between the red maple and the clear water.

As the largest antique auction house in Yangzhou, the construction of Weirui Tower focused on shaping its quiet and elegant dedication. But the atmosphere. At this time, a noise broke the quiet elegance, but no one in the building was angry about it.

The spices that were hyped up a few days ago are now officially auctioned.

A thin lady casually put on a coat and was kicked out of the yard by her breadwinner.

"Chi Yiyi! You either find your true son today, or go to the Houdrunken Red Mansion to report to the Red Mansion at the end of the day, and have someone hand over the fifty taels of selling money to me! The rude scolding of the adoptive family rang in the ears of the Chi lady.

"Are you really the one who is still the pool lady? Others spend a lot of money just willing to listen to your pipa? Phew! You're innocent now, you're worthless for a long time, you're a woman! Got it? ”

"Not long ago, that little boy of the Xing family was willing to pay a hundred taels to buy you, which is already giving you face. Are you still not satisfied? Kicked people out? I'd like to see, who gave you the courage to make you so ignorant? ”

Chi Niangzi wiped her face, didn't bring the maid, and lowered her head and walked into the Weirui Building. She carried with her two thousand taels of silver, which was all her savings, and if no one paid attention to Yin Le, she would let it go.

Most of the skinny horses that were picked up sank for the rest of their lives, and some even died unexplained because of their owners' quirks. Chi Niangzi suddenly received a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and she subconsciously wanted to cherish it.

She sat in the cubicle and was looking down. Then I saw another girl walk in outside, although she covered her face with a veil, but this veil was not honest at all, but swaggered around.

The Blue Lady is also here.

The blue lady, as she always did, took the maid and did not shy away from men, Shi Shiran sat in the hall, attracting the attention of a group of people.

Chi Niangzi's face was silent, but she looked out frequently, watching the auction house disturb several people coming in. The Du family came in, many men and women came in, and a young boy was supported by a child, and another young man in his twenties came in, occupying a better private room on the second floor.

Everyone had already sat down, and it was time to auction the spices, but the seller had not yet appeared, and everyone on the scene was a little impatient.

Just as the master of ceremonies shouted to everyone please wait, a woman with a hood walked in from outside, she was petite, her face covered by a white veil, and it was not real to see. The woman was followed by a scholar with a plaster on his face, but his expression was serious and solemn.

Chi Niangzi couldn't help but smile slightly, this girl, in front of her was pretending to be a man, and the maid was pretending to be a woman, this time it was reversed.

As soon as the woman entered the door, Xiao Er stepped forward to entertain her. The woman lowered her head and whispered a few words to her, Xiao Er nodded, but the expression on this face was indescribably weird.

Chi Niangzi saw the boy on the other side constantly poking his head, and couldn't help but look at the private room. I saw the young boy sitting in his seat with his eyes closed, and the little boy was whispering something in the child's ear.

Don't you even bother to look at it? Chi Niangzi couldn't help but slander, sure enough, there are so many strange tempers of rich people.

The blue lady on the side was also surprised, it turned out that Yin Le was flirting with the balm given by other women? What a shameless disciple.

The girl in white clothes and white yarn was already seated in the private room, and the master of ceremonies listened to Xiao Er's words, although his face was embarrassed, he still opened the first box.

Inside the box were two wooden boxes containing balsam. The master of ceremonies cleared his throat and said clearly: "Due to the suddenness of the incident, there are still two boxes left of 'Lu', and the rest have not been made. The starting price is 200 taels, please bid. ”

This remark was full of uproar. Two boxes of balsam cost a hundred taels, isn't this bullying? For a while, the people on the field were talking, but no one bid.

Du Qingli is calm, and the Du family is not short of this little money. He was about to open his mouth when a plain hand reached out and covered the back of his hand warmly. Mrs. Du shook her head lightly, signaling her husband not to be impulsive.

Du Qingli opened his mouth suspiciously, and Mrs. Du stretched out her finger and covered his lips. Seeing that there was no one left and right, she reminded in a low voice: "That girl said that there were only two boxes of incense left, but she didn't say that only incense was sold." Besides, even if you buy balsam, it will be useless to our trading firm. ”

In recent days, she has worked hard to study the ingredients of balsam, but found that every time it is in vain, and all the secrets are still in the production method.

Du Qingli's eyes lit up, and he put his hand down. Seeing that the Du family had no intention of bidding, the rest of the people also turned on the theater mode.

Chi Niangzi was in a hurry, and she couldn't help but look at the private room opposite. Yin Le was sitting there, with a veil on his head, silent, as if he was not in a hurry at all.

Chi Niangzi wanted to cry without tears, and said in her heart what if this incense couldn't be sold, she was still waiting for Yin Le to take her away.

Immediately, she gritted her teeth and raised her white arm: "Two hundred taels!" "No matter what, she can't let Yin Le leave empty-handed.

"Three hundred taels!" As soon as she finished speaking, the blue lady also raised her hand. She raised her chin and glanced at Chi Niangzi proudly. Want to steal incense from her? Dream. This "Lu" must be hers, even if there are only two boxes, only she can have them.

There was a flash of light in Chi Niangzi's eyes, and she understood what Yin Le's move meant.

Yin Le's target for selling balsam could not be those rich merchants, and those women were waiting for the Du family to mass-produce it, so that they would not be the culprit. Therefore, the only person who is willing to buy balsam at a high price can be these two skinny horses.

This is really, a proper Qinglou style. Chi Niangzi smiled bitterly and said loudly: "Four hundred taels!" She has to leave a bottom line, "Lu" is followed by "You Zhuang", and "You Zhuang" is where she wants to perform.

"Four hundred and fifty taels!" The Blue Lady clenched her fists and raised her hands. After a sound, Chi Niangzi stopped talking. Seeing that no one was bidding, the master of ceremonies raised the hammer: "Four hundred and fifty two times!" Four hundred and fifty two twice! Four hundred and fifty taels, deal! ”

The Blue Lady raised her head proudly and leisurely waited for the next item. This person, once he tastes the benefits, will want more, bigger, want to monopolize these sweetness, and will never let others touch it.

After the deal, Xiao Er put a wooden box on the ground. When I opened it, I saw that there were two bottles of perfume "Yuzhuang".

"By Zhuang?" Hearing this name, Yuan Huan heard Song Yu speak out. Song Yu smiled at the corner of his mouth, and his fingers lightly clasped the tea bowl: "Could it be that it means 'Xu You and Zhuang Zhou'?" ”

Yuan Huan frowned: "I don't read much, so I don't understand these celebrities." ”

The bidding for "Yuzhuang" was swift and quiet, still between the two women. In the end, it was auctioned by the Blue Lady for 1,830 taels.
