Chapter 348 Auction
Daddy loves her, and gives her all the most valuable and best antique calligraphy and paintings and other good goods as a dowry, she doesn't want to go, and plans to buy some, this opportunity is rare, so she came up with this idea.
The Qu family is the family of military generals, and it used to be among the first-class families, you must know that the war gathers wealth, his family owes a lot of silver, and if the silver is not enough, he can only use antiques to offset the account, but fortunately, there is still a little background at home, so he can barely pay it back.
The things will be valued first, and the meaning of more refunds and less compensation will be recorded, and finally they will be drawn together and returned to you.
Zilan has already explained to the steward, and when she encounters good goods, she doesn't need to report it to report it first, is it a rare opportunity.
According to the things of the Qu family, after reading them, my father said that they were not bad, so he specially gave a list and asked her to pick up what she liked and buy it.
Zilan took the carriage early and took her two sisters to Xianglou to participate in the auction, Shishi and Hexiang didn't go out for a few days, so they took them out to relax.
When I arrived at the Xianglou, the steward greeted him and reported while leading the way.
"The things have been delivered, and I have specially sent guards and archers to guard them, so I don't dare to miss the slightest. It's really all good things, but this time the Qu family is bleeding heavily. ”
"It's more lively, this is also a personal popularity, if the Qu family's things can be sold at a good price, he can naturally make a note of us.
The handover procedures should be done according to what I said, if someone is lame and deceived and makes the building suffer losses, this is not a matter of money, it is the people who lost the Song family in the capital, don't blame me for ignoring the past. ”
The steward immediately bent down and bowed his head, his attitude was very respectful, "Don't worry, eldest lady, I will personally watch this matter and ensure that there will be no problems." ”
"Well, I asked the clan to send good hands to guard, you remember to send someone to pick up things, send some bows and arrows and weapons over, just in case, four shifts take turns guarding the warehouse, you have to check carefully when handing over, your eyes are bright, this thing is well done, I have a lot of rewards, and everyone's good is indispensable."
Zilan arranged it calmly and methodically.
"Yes. Upstairs please, you're all ready. ”
"Well, serve the distinguished guests, don't annoy anyone."
"Don't worry, I've already explained, and all six guys are helping in the building."
Along the way, I went to the exclusive private room on the second floor, "Go make some good tea." ”
"Yes."
The guy went to serve tea and snacks.
"You're getting hotter and hotter the more you go, and you're full of friends in broad daylight."
Shishi doesn't come often, but he came twice to the Gonggong, and he came to play with his family when he first opened.
"It's going to be lively every three or five days, otherwise it will be cold, my thing is expensive, it's not fun if it's not lively, otherwise why would I do this thankless thing, it's just for fame."
"Yes, you really put a lot of effort into this incense building."
Kazuka also sighed.
The Song family all knew that the Xianglou was built by two families together, and after it was built, Zilan took care of it alone, and it was prosperous bit by bit.
The amount was set from the build, 100,000 taels were handed over to the emperor every year, and she didn't make money in the first two years and lost money, she desperately made money from other places and then filled in this hole, except for her own family, she never talked to anyone, and she never shouted a word of bitterness.
It is precisely because of this that she took the order of the head of the family and enjoyed some benefits, and no one in the clan and sisters and brothers said a word, that is, the benefits of a few shops.
The benefits of the big head are all won by the uncles and brothers, and what everyone knows in their hearts is that the Song family has changed the emperor to take a look at it and the opportunity to be in the court.
"I don't care, it's not good, I'm going to come back, this matter is done, the emperor has to remember our family's merits, uncles and brothers can be smoother in the court, and it's good to have more opportunities."
"Yes, it's not in vain that you have wasted so much effort."
Shishi also sighed faintly.
There was silence outside, the auctioneer came out, and everyone was silent.
The auction began, and the antique porcelain placed on the table was shown to everyone, detailing the item from all aspects, including the age and other items.
Let the big customers who have paid the deposit take a look at it with gloves on and confirm that it is true before starting the auction.
The guests are very interested, there are many people auctioning, and there is a reserve price for the things, which is set by the officials of the household department after joint consultation, and it cannot be less than this number.
The first piece of porcelain was for the sake of hot field, and it was a good thing to take out, but there were even better, the first piece Zilan didn't shoot and didn't grab it with other guests.
After a few rounds of bidding, it was bought by a merchant, and there must be someone behind it, so it's hard to say who it is.
The next things are pretty good.,The poems and incense I read are all excited.。
"You two have taken a fancy to something, let the guy take a picture and buy it back, I'll give it to you."
"What's the point, we have silver tickets when we come out, I don't need you to send them."
Neither of them is short of money, and they are rich.
The auction went very smoothly, I bought several things, Zilan is waiting for a calligraphy and painting, a collection of famous artists.
It was the last lot.
While talking, I pricked up my ears and waited, and explained to my buddy, if I missed it, I should shoot it quickly.
Cui Hao came, he came late, left someone to scatter below to facilitate the auction, and followed the guy up.
"You're coming to see the fun, I thought you didn't have time."
Zilan greeted him with a smile.
"I heard that I came here on purpose, am I late?"
"Otherwise, it's just the beginning, his family has taken a lot of things out to sell, and there is still one later, if he doesn't close his business tonight, he will do it overnight, and I'm afraid of losing things or damaging them."
"Oh, that's good, I heard that things are good, I came here on purpose, and if there is a good one, I will take it, what do you like?"
"A painting."
"Hey, then I know, you don't care, I'll take a picture."
Cui Hao took a sip of tea and remembered which painting was on the list.
"If you want it too, then I'll give it to you, just let me enjoy it for a few days."
"No, I'll take a picture and give it to you."
"I'm sorry, I bought it for the family to keep, my father and mother gave me all the good ones as a dowry, I want to buy some for the family to keep."
"It doesn't matter, what are you polite to me, don't hinder me, I have my own money, my mother doesn't know how to manage the house, my father left my mother's dowry to me very early in order to worry less."
Cui Hao explained with a smile.
"Okay, I'll take advantage of that."
Zilan blushed embarrassedly and didn't continue to excuse herself.
At the time of the auction, it was a city that never sleeps, so the guests were also very active, and after a while, the seventh prince and the tenth prince also arrived, and Cui Hao pulled Zilan over to say hello.
The two princes booked a private room, which was chartered all the year round, and they often came to play, and they also loved to drink her wine, but they didn't spend a lot of money.
"You two are here to buy something, too."
"Yes, I heard that the Qu family's things are good, and I was worried that they would be damaged or lost, so I thought that it would be best to sell them immediately, and there would be good things in the future.
I'll ask the guy to wait at your door, there is a special person downstairs to manage the auction of the box, and the guy can just run errands and send messages. ”
Zilan was very thoughtful.
"Done."
