Chapter 265: Auction
Because she stayed here for too long, by the time she left the palace and returned home, it was almost dark. Xue Doudou couldn't go there today, so Yuanquanquan went back first, and only went to find Xue Doudou the next day.
Boss Xue was very moved by the fact that she wanted to bring her a gift when she went out to play in the Yuan Circle, she was just a small steamed bun shop proprietor, where was it worth being so good to Princess Ming. There was nothing to get hold of, so he used a basket of buns to give back to the Yuan Quanhuan.
For this return gift, Yuan Quanquan was very satisfied, and happily returned to the palace with a basket of buns.
As a result, on the way back to the palace, because of greed, Xiao Zhi was asked to buy shortbread on the side of the road, and when the carriage stopped on the side of the road and waited, Yuan Quanquan sat in the car and waited for Xiao Zhi to come back.
I listened with my ears pricked up for a while, and I probably understood what it seemed to be an auction.
Auctions?
Putting the buns aside, Yuan Quanquan got out of the carriage and asked the chatters about the auction.
Those people probably knew the carriage of the Ming Palace, and when they saw Yuan Quanquan guessing the identity of her princess according to her dress, they immediately wanted to kneel down and salute. After being stopped halfway by the Yuan Circle, how dare they slack off when they heard Princess Ming asking them about the auction?
1510 told everything he knew, and Yuan Quanquan's eyes glowed golden after listening to it.
Sounds like a lot of fun!
I don't know how this ancient auction is different from the modern one, the Yuan Circle is very curious about it, and there is a desire to see it in my heart, and at the same time, I want to see some of the rare treasures that have been auctioned.
After returning to the palace, Yuan Quanquan mentioned this matter to Shen Xiu, and Shen Xiu frowned slightly, "Tomorrow? The king of Ming Japan wants to discuss the military aircraft with the emperor, and he may not be free......"
Before he finished speaking, he saw Yuan Quanquan waving his hand, and said indifferently: "You are busy with yours, I will go by myself." ”
She is not a child, and she needs him to accompany her wherever she goes.
She just asked Xiao Zhi and Xiang'er to accompany her, and no matter how bad it was, let Yan Jiu follow.
Only then did the meditation nod: "Have fun." ”
"Uh-huh." At the end, he quietly asked, "If I have something I like, but it's expensive, can I buy it back?" ”
Ming Xiu showed a domineering smile: "It doesn't matter if the small circle buys all the things in the entire auction house, as long as the small circle likes it." ”
God, the Yuan circle found that men are so handsome when they say this kind of thing, especially a handsome man who is against the sky in his own appearance When he says this, it's too Su, okay!
Although Yuanquanquan has been married into the palace for more than a year, every time like this, she will sigh incomparably, the feeling of marrying into a wealthy family is so cool!
The meditation cultivator had completely figured out the temper of his princess. In many matters involving spending money, as long as he shows something like "you can spend the king's money" or "you can buy as much as you like", she will be very happy and enthusiastic.
I don't know if it's only his princess like this, or if all women are like this. For the Oni King, he liked this about her very much.
One sentence made a mo-da, the ghost king was very happy, and then he also responded with his enthusiasm.
In fact, the difference between the ancient auction and the modern auction is not very big, but there are some differences in details.
Early the next morning, the Yuan Circle took Xiao Zhi and Xiang'er, followed by Yan Jiu, who was conscientious as a messenger to protect flowers, and a group of four people came to Tianxiang Pavilion, where the auction was held.
Tianxiang Pavilion is a treasure pavilion, which specializes in selling some valuable antique utensils, and an auction is held regularly, with varying scales. Many princes, nobles, businessmen, and predators in the capital and even in several surrounding cities will attend the meeting.
Whether in modern or ancient times, the Yuan Circle is the first time to participate in the auction, and the novelty is dead.
walked to the door of Tianxiang Pavilion and was about to go in, but was stopped by the little guy at the door.
"This young lady, please stay, please show the invitation sticker."
Yuan Quan was stunned, "Huh? Invitation stickers? ”
Still want this thing?
Turning her head to look at Xiao Zhi, the little girl was also at a loss, and shook her head at her.
The little guy saw that they were dressed luxuriously, and he didn't know which lady it was, and his attitude was quite kind, "You can't go in without an invitation sticker." ”
Yuan Quanquan really didn't think of this problem, and was stunned for a while, not knowing what to do, but saw a hand stretched out from behind, "You dare to stop the princess of the Ming Palace?" ”
A bronzing token in Yan Jiu's hand was displayed in front of the little guy in a big thorn, and the word "Ming" on the token was a seal.
The little guy took a closer look, and was so frightened that his face turned white, and he quickly knelt down to admit his mistake, and said in a trembling voice: "The villain should die, I don't know that Princess Ming is coming, and I ask the princess to forgive me!" ”
Yuan Quanquan glanced at the token quietly, quickly retracted it, waved his hand and said, "Forget it, those who don't know are not guilty, get up." ”
"The villain will lead you in." The little guy hurriedly got up, led the way in front, and led them inside in the Yuan Circle.
Tianxiang Pavilion is also quite famous in the capital, the house is not big, but the interior decoration is low-key and luxurious, all kinds of jade ornaments, gold and silver utensils, ancient paintings and calligraphy placed on each shelf, dazzling, too many to mention.
As the princess of Ming, there are naturally many rare objects in the palace of the king of Ming, and the things in the treasury of the mansion have also been seen in the Yuan circle, so when I saw these at this time, my expression was very calm.
I followed the little guy through the lobby, and after a while, he came out of an archway, and suddenly his eyes suddenly opened up.
I saw a hollow patio-style hall in front of me, which was larger than the lobby outside, with a square platform in the middle in a circle. There was a sunken wooden table several feet wide on the table, which was empty at this time, and there was nothing.
The Yuan Circle understands that it is for the display of auction items for a while.
The servant led the man to a private room on the second floor, facing the arch.
The little guy is also very good at things, the room arranged is in the middle of the second floor, facing the arch on the first floor, anyone who comes in can see at a glance, and the scene on the auction table downstairs is also unobstructed, and the line of sight is excellent.
Yuan Huanhuan walked to the window, pushed open the window and looked down, nodded, quite satisfied.
"Princess, the auction starts at the end of the day, you wait a moment. If you have any orders, just say it, and the villain will order someone to bring you some snacks. ”
"Well, go ahead." With a casual wave of his hand, Yuan Quanquan looked around the room, sat down at the table by the window, and turned his head to look out.
Because this house is circular, looking out from the angle of the Yuan Circle, you can just see the three rooms on the right. Turning her head, except for the adjacent room to her left, the other two were also within sight.
At this time, she looked over, and the windows of two of the three rooms on the right were open, and the people sitting in them were fat, with a fat head, big ears and a fat brain, and a goosebump with snowy sideburns. Yuan Quanquan was not interested in them, so after looking at them twice, he turned his gaze and twisted his neck to look to the left.
Of the two rooms on the left, only one was occupied.
Are they two women, or two women who know each other in the metaverse.
One is Mrs. Ding'an Hou, who I saw at the flower-viewing banquet in the Guogong Mansion. The other, the metaverse circle is all too familiar.
It was actually Lu Qingkite.
I really didn't expect to see her in such a place.
Lu Qingyuan has a big belly and actually comes to an auction like a place like a mixed fish, she can jump.
However, what surprised Yuan Quanquan even more was that she actually came with the one from Ding'an Houfu.
Do they have a good relationship?
It seems that she has been away from the capital for more than half a year, and many things have happened that she doesn't know!
At this time, Mrs. Ding'an Hou and Lu Qingyuan were sitting in the room two rooms away from the Yuan Circle, and the position where Lu Qingyuan was sitting happened to be facing away from her, and the Yuan Circle could only see half of her side face.
The distance is a little far, even though the Yuan Quanquan's ear power is much better than before, but only a faint voice can be heard.
It's not that she deliberately eavesdropped, Yuan Quanquan just wanted to know what Lu Qingyuan was doing here, could it be that there was something she fancied at this auction, so she came to bid? Or just accompany Mrs. Ding'an to watch the excitement?
Stretching his neck slightly, pricking up his ears, Yuan Quanquan vaguely heard a few words.
…… Hundred Pictures ...... Ivory seated Buddha ...... Haidong green peck goose jade ornament......
Yuan Quanquan pondered these terms carefully, wondering if these would be the goals of Lu Qingyuan and Mrs. Ding'an Hou who came to the auction this time.
When they were speculating in the Yuan circle, there was a knock on the door, and a little servant came to bring them refreshments.
Yuan Quanquan looked at Lu Qingyuan's side thoughtfully, his eyes touched the little guy in front of him, and when he was about to leave, he suddenly stopped him: "Hey, you come back." ”
The little guy was not very old, and he looked like he was fifteen or sixteen years old, and after being stopped by the Yuan Circle, he turned around and stood aside in an orderly manner, "What do you want from the princess?" ”
Yuan Quanquan pointed to the room where Lu Qingyuan was and asked him, "Who are there over there...... Is this the first time they've come to your auction? ”
The little maid glanced in the direction of the Yuanquanquan's finger, and after looking back, he replied respectfully: "Back to the princess's mother, the crown princess and Mrs. Ding'an Hou are here for the second time, three months ago, the official sale in our pavilion, she and the two of them came once." ”
The official sale is also a type of auction. It's just that this kind of auction is hosted by the government, and the auctioned items are generally part of the family property of some officials confiscated by the imperial court, such as real estate that cannot be taken away, some of the implicated family members, and slaves and maids who have been bought.
Yuanquanquan didn't understand, so Xiang'er whispered to her in her ear to popularize science.
The Yuan Circle is quite novel, and after listening to it, he asked, "Then what did Lu Qingyuan buy?" ”
As soon as the little girl heard Yuan Quanquan call the princess by her name, she looked up at her in a slightly surprised way, and immediately lowered her head, thinking that these two were sisters born to the same father, and the current princess Ming was a generation higher than the princess according to her generation, and it was nothing to call her by her name, so she calmed down again.
"Back to the princess, the crown princess didn't buy anything, but Ding'an waited for Mrs. and bought a slave to go back."
