Chapter 831: Tripartite Forces
"Then let's see!" Song Qingyuan nodded.
She is also interested in this ancient auction.
"Girl, come here." Bai Qiusheng immediately led the way.
After walking for a while, I turned two corners and came to the backyard of the pawn shop, which existed as an auction venue.
At this time, at the gate of the backyard, there were many people coming and going, walking in groups of three or five.
When they arrived at Song Qingyuan and a few people, two guys suddenly reached out and stopped them.
"Where did you come from, but I'm from Liaodong Mansion, do I have an invitation to get started?"
"Nope." Song Qingyuan shook his head.
The guy counted, and saw that Song Qingyuan and his party were a total of four people, dressed according to the momentum, obviously Song Qingyuan was the mainstay, so he said, "One or two silver enter the door." ”
"Good!" Song Qingyuan casually put it in his purse, took out a tael of silver, and handed it to the guy.
People come to see that Song Qingyuan is neat and neat, and he is obviously not bad for money.
So he stretched out his hand, "This young lady is invited, but this is the first time for the young lady to come?" ”
"Yes!" Song Qingyuan nodded.
"This is the first time I've come to Liaodong Mansion with my family, and I heard that there is an auction here, so I came over to take a look, I don't know what rules are here."
Song Qingyuan said, took out another piece of silver horn, and put it in the buddy's hand, the guy immediately laughed, and the expression on his face warmed up a little.
"There is no rule in the auction, that is, the one with the highest price wins, but in Liaodong Mansion, there are a few people who are not easy to offend." The guy lowered his voice.
His eyes swept towards the seats in front of him, and he quietly pointed to Song Qingyuan.
"That's the second lady of our Liaodong Mansion General Army, the eldest lady is not here, so ......" The guy gave Song Qingyuan a look that you understand.
Song Qingyuan nodded silently, there are no tigers in the mountains, and the monkey is the overlord, saying that it is the second lady, but in fact it is the second aunt.
However, who let the family be the pillow person of the chief soldier, blow the wind on the pillow.
"And that one." The man continued, reaching out and pointing at a young man in his twenties.
"This is the fourth son of the Ding'an Bo family, Ding Anbo is the leading figure in this Liaodong Mansion, he has a lot of power and a wide range of contacts, and he can't be easily offended."
"And that one." Still the most forward position.
There are a total of three tables in front, two of which are said by the guy, the second lady of the general soldier, the fourth son of Ding'anbo, and this man, one for each of the three parties.
This man, about thirty years old, is a little fat, has a big belly, and wears several big jade wrenches on his hands.
Dressed brightly, he looks like an upstart.
"This is a merchant?" Song Qingyuan guessed.
The man's expression lit up, "Miss has good eyesight, this son is the son of the president of the Haihui Chamber of Commerce, and his sister was sent to the palace three years ago to serve the current saint." ”
After listening to the guy's introduction, Song Qingyuan understood that the current tripartite forces in Liaodong Mansion.
The first is the Liaodong General Soldier who is in charge of military power, the second is Ding'anbo, who was born in a noble family, and the third is that there are people in the palace, a big businessman who takes the route of relatives, and the president of the Haihui Chamber of Commerce.
"I don't know where this young lady comes from, can anyone in the family be an official in the imperial court?"
The guy looked at Song Qingyuan without a trace, and said tentatively, "Miss is new to Liaodong Mansion, if it is not necessary, it is better not to provoke these three people." ”
"Thanks for the reminder." Song Qingyuan nodded.
She understood what this guy meant, he was warning her that when the three of them competed for things, they should not interfere or not, so as not to rush around and offend people.
This piece of silver horn is quite worth it, and Song Qingyuan took out another tael of silver and put it in the hands of the guy.
"Thank you for your hard work, you look at the arrangement of a seat."
Holding the silver tightly, the guy thought for a moment, "Miss, come here." ”
"The seats here are all locals of Liaodong Mansion, they usually have a good reputation, they don't like to cause trouble and don't offend people, Miss can sit with them, and you can also make friends appropriately."
"Hmm!" Song Qingyuan nodded and sat down under the leadership of his partner.
It's easy to get money, but two silver horns can get so much information, which is very worthwhile in Song Qingyuan's opinion.
If there is really something she wants in the auction, because of the scramble to match people, she unknowingly offends people, then it is not good!
When you're out and about, be careful!
More and more people came to the auction house, and soon the auction officially began.
A middle-aged man, standing on the desk set up in front of him, announced loudly, "Dening Pawnshop, thank you for your support over the years." ”
"Now, we have a backlog of low-priced goods, and we will share them with you."
……
"So, the auction has officially begun, and here are our first auction items." The shopkeeper of the pawn shop stretched out his hand.
A guy brought up a mahogany box, and the shopkeeper of the auction house reached out and lifted it, revealing a large box of pearls.
Under the sunlight, the pearl emits a brilliant light, which dazzles the people and surprises everyone below.
The shopkeeper instructed the man to hold the pearl box and walk around the seats below, so that everyone could see clearly and understand.
"Alright, alright, don't bother!"
The second lady of the General Military Mansion said impatiently, "Hurry up and start bidding, this box of pearls, Mrs. Ben is going to decide." ”
A woman's resistance to jewelry is always minimal, and as soon as this box of pearls appeared, the second lady made a decision.
The shopkeeper saw the second lady's inevitable posture, the corners of his mouth twitched, and he originally wanted to talk about the price of three thousand taels, but temporarily changed it to five thousand taels.
"Five thousand taels to start bidding." The shopkeeper announced loudly.
I knew in my heart that in this Liaodong Mansion, apart from the other two giants, how could anyone dare to face the general army of Liaodong Mansion.
The shopkeeper couldn't help but lament, I'm afraid this box of pearls can't be sold for a price!
"Girl, this pearl is so bright, it's a whole box." Tian Ju lowered her voice and whispered in Song Qingyuan's ear.
Song Qingyuan nodded, the quality of this box of pearls is really good, big and bright, even she can't help but be moved.
The business she has run over the years, plus the income of Erlang's business, should add up to thirty or forty thousand.
If she can be ruthless, bid for the pearls in this box, and when the time comes, make the decorations in the embroidery ornaments and sell them to the outside, it will definitely be a high return and high profit.
But it can directly double the silver in her hand, it's a pity, it's not as powerful as others, and she doesn't dare to interfere when she sees her favorite things.
Song Qingyuan's desire to compete gradually faded.
"Bang!" The sound of the box buckle sounded, and the shopkeeper held the pearl box and respectfully sent it to the second lady of the chief soldier.
"Five thousand taels are sold, and this box of pearls belongs to the second lady."
"Giggles! Cluck! The second lady laughed.
"This pearl is good, big and beautiful, and it looks neat."
"Next time, if you have such a good quality, send it directly to my mansion, don't worry, Mrs. Ben will not treat your pawnshop badly......"
