Chapter 65: Recreating the Auction
Sixteen and Seventeen glanced at each other, their hands clenched quietly under the table.
"Brothers, it's all my fault, I'm always playing tricks on you, I swear if you wake up, I'll let you come back."
"Really?"
"Of course it's true!" Fifteen, who was in tears and sad, heard a familiar voice, looked up with two lines of tears, and found that in the dark night, Sixteen and Seventeen were looking at him through gritted teeth.
"You, you're not dead, are you?" Fifteen wept with joy, hugging the dark night and they were excited.
Sixteen and Seventeen moved their arms, twisted their necks, took off their masks, and said to Fifteen, "We're not dead, but we're ...... Whether you will die or not is not certain. ”
After saying that, the three of them pounced on Fifteen together, but Fifteen was sensitively dodged.
"Brothers, you, listen to me, things are not what you think!" Fifteen pairs of fists could not be matched by six hands, and they were quickly caught by them in the dark night.
"Ladies and gentlemen, you adults have a lot, spare me, little brother!" Fifteen sent them to kneel, but the other three people were not easy to mess with, and they applied the fat powder and mask that Mo Qingrou had just made to Fifteen, and finally Seventeen put a lipstick on him before they spared him.
"Brothers, aren't you angry?" In the dark night, when they saw Fifteen like this, they couldn't help but laugh.
"If we don't wipe off the things on our faces for three days, we won't be angry." Seventeen smirked.
It's only been three days, and it's a piece of cake for him, there is no mirror in the inner room, so Fifteen doesn't know what he has become at this time, and when he sees them, he doesn't get angry, and he laughs heartlessly with them.
After laughing, it was time for Fifteen to report down on business, "That's right, Miss Mo!" ”
"She's in the backyard!"
Fifteen 'oh' said that they were going to the backyard to find Mo Qingrou, and in the dark they were afraid that he would scare Mo Qingrou, so they had to go out and call Mo Qingrou in.
When Mo came in gently, he was also taken aback by Fifteen.
"Fifteen, what's wrong with you?" Mo Qingrou couldn't help laughing.
Fifteen touched his hair and didn't speak, but explained to Mo gently for him in the dark night.
"Oh, I see, by the way, how did I do what I asked you to do?"
"The subordinates have already conveyed the girl's orders to the ladies of the provinces, including the Lady Mu of Jungar, of course."
Mo nodded softly and praised Fifteen: "Yes, very good." ”
Fifteen took out two packets of things from his arms and handed them to Mo Qingrou, and asked suspiciously, "Miss Mo, what are you asking me to do with sulfur?" ”
"Then you will know, in the dark night you go to find some fireworks, sixteen you go to find some grass and wood ashes, seventeen you go to find charcoal, fifteen you go to find a place with few people."
The four of them went their separate ways, but Mo Qingrou mixed two bales of sulfur together, put the ashes and charcoal found by Sixteen and Seventeen into a container, and found a cotton thread as a lead.
Mo gently asked them to take this container and fireworks to the open space that Fifteen was looking for.
Mo Qingrou looked around and found that there was a big pit not far away, and she asked Qinggong to set the container on fire in the dark night above them, while they waited in the big pit.
"Dark night, you must be careful when you light it! After seeing that the cotton thread is burning, you must quickly jump into this big pit, you know? ”
She didn't want anything to happen to anyone around her, she didn't know if the power of this gunpowder was powerful, and if it was, it would be very helpful to this war, so she put all her hopes on this gunpowder.
Dark Night lit the cotton thread according to Mo's gentle instructions, and then quickly jumped into the big pit with light skills.
"Cover your ears and get down." Mo ordered them softly and loudly, although the four of them didn't understand what Mo Qingrou meant, but what the general had told Mo Qingrou was an order, and they must obey it.
The five men covered their ears and fell down before the gunpowder exploded.
All they heard was a 'bang', and the ground shook a little, and even more sand rolled down from it.
After a while, Mo Qingrou took the lead in jumping up from the bottom of the pit, and they also followed in the dark night.
But they were soon frightened by the sight in front of them, only to see that the place where the container had been placed was now blown out of a large crater.
Mo Qingrou couldn't help but admire her wisdom, she had only seen how fireworks were made in modern times, and she never thought that she would actually learn and use them now that she was here.
The officials of the town, the troops of Zhungar and the team of An Shuangchi were all startled by the loud noise.
The leader of Dzungar was afraid that Anshuang would deceive them, so he hurriedly ordered someone to check what was going on with this voice.
The leader of Zhungar and An Shuangchi thought of going together, and he was afraid that the enemy army would come to make trouble again, so he ordered the dark three to go out to inquire about the news.
Mo Qingrou had already thought that it would attract attention, so she hurriedly ordered the secret guards to light the fireworks.
Then the five of them quickly left the place and returned to the fat powder fast.
When they returned, Fifteen finally couldn't help but ask Mo Qingrou what she had made.
Who knew that Mo Qingrou did not answer his question directly, but smiled mysteriously: "Secret." ”
An Shuangchi waited for the news of Dark San in the camp tent, and it didn't take long for Dark San to come back, and he said to An Shuangchi that it was Mo Qingrou and they were setting off fireworks in the dark night.
Fireworks? An Shuangchi knocked on the table suspiciously, as far as he knew, the power of fireworks was not like something that could shake the earth, it seemed that this matter could only be known by asking the secret guards beside Mo Qingrou.
At this time, the Jungger spies here also replied to the leader in this way, but the leader is a rough man, thinking that as long as it is not An Shuangchi's trouble, who would think about other things while holding the warm fragrant nephrite in his arms.
The leader smelled the smell of the lady in his arms, and narrowed his eyes greedily: "Madam, it's so fragrant lately!" ”
Mrs. Mu smiled shyly: "The king has won the award, and the slave family just rubbed some fat powder." ”
What these noble ladies don't know is that Mo Qingrou has mixed a lot of aphrodisiac powder with this fat powder.
Mo gently told them not to tell An Shuangchi about this matter, because she felt that with An Shuangchi's sensitivity, she would definitely find that this matter was not so simple.
So now An Shuangchi is facing such a problem, he called Dark Night and Sixteen to ask Mo Qingrou where he went and what he did today.
Night and Sixteen, you look at me, I look at you, and no one is silent.
"Bold, didn't General Ben tell you about it?" An Shuang waited for a long time, but the two of them didn't speak.
Dark Night and Sixteen knelt down on one knee and said respectfully: "The master is angry, it's not that his subordinates don't report to you, but that Miss Mo doesn't let his subordinates tell you!" ”
An Shuangchi played with the wrench in his hand, and smiled evilly: "This little wild cat's courage is getting bigger and bigger." ”
Dark Night and Sixteen didn't hear what An Shuangchi said, so they looked up at him suspiciously.
"Okay, as long as it doesn't hurt her, she can do whatever she wants!"
"No." Dark Night and Sixteen secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
The next day, Mo gently asked them to set up the fat powder tables on both sides of the dark night, and vacated the middle of the shop for tables and chairs, and in order to attract more noble ladies, she was going to hold an auction here.
Yesterday on the 15th of the day, I informed you of the auction to be held.
When Madame Mu came, she brought with her the wives of several Junggar officials, and showed them that she had bought her fat powder here, and that the noble lady had a radiant look at Madame Mu, so they decided to buy fat powder after the auction was over.
"Ladies, please be quiet, listen to me tell me about the rules of the auction, there will be four pieces of fat powder on display, and each piece of fat powder will be auctioned at a price of one hundred taels." Mo gently gave the disguised dark night a look, and the dark night came up with the first piece of fat powder.
"This is the first fat powder in today's auction - facial cleanser, this facial cleanser can whiten the skin, make you ten years younger, start bidding at 500 taels, and now start bidding."
"Six hundred taels." Mrs. County Ling made a start, and then Mrs. Mu and the wives of several other officials in Zhungeer all bid, and finally this facial cleanser was auctioned for Mrs. Mu for 1,000 taels of silver.
"Congratulations to Mrs. Mu for winning this facial cleanser."
The next second piece and the third piece of fat powder were auctioned at a high price, and when the fourth piece of fat powder was taken out, everyone looked at Mo Qingrou for some reason.
"What do you mean, Miss Rou?" The ladies didn't understand what Mo Qingrou meant.
"Ladies, don't be impatient, please listen to me in detail, we have to use the 'blind guess' method to get this fat powder, that is, cover the fat powder with a black cloth, and the ladies who like it can take a picture, and the one with the highest price will get it, starting at 10,000 taels, and increasing the price by 1,000 taels."
When everyone heard Mo softly say 10,000 taels to shoot, they hesitated, after all, money is not spent like this.
Mo Qingrou saw that they hesitated, so she smiled and said to them: "Ladies, please rest assured, you are satisfied with this fat powder packet, if you are not satisfied, I will simply close this shop." ”
Hearing that Mo Qingrou had promised like this, all the ladies in Zhungeer dared to increase the price little by little.
On the contrary, the wives of the officials of the Lingwu Dynasty here shrank their heads one by one, and they did not dare to raise the price loudly.
"Mrs. Wang, don't you like this fat powder?" Mrs. Mu asked the lady of the county magistrate next to her.
Mrs. County Ling shook her head, "We are shy in our pockets, so it's not good to take pictures." ”
Before Mrs. Mu could speak, a lady of the Jungger official said contemptuously: "I thought that this Lingwu Dynasty official had a lot of ability!" I didn't expect that I couldn't even take this tens of thousands of taels. ”
The lady next to her also responded: "Yes, I used to hear that the Lingwu Dynasty is a big country, because there is a god of war general, so it has won a lot of battles and subdued many small countries, and now as soon as we Jungar came out, their god of war general suffered three defeats." ”
After speaking, he covered his mouth and laughed secretly, and Mo gently and quietly recorded the appearance of this lady.
