Chapter 156: Traces of the Record Sale
Ye Dan changed into an ivory-colored black bamboo robe, the whole person was tall and long, looking elegant and gentle, he had no other accessories on his body, only a copper bell as big as a baby's fist was tied to his belt.
He walked over with a smile on his face, passed through the crowd of people who were talking and whispered, greeted people he knew well, and slowly stepped onto the circular platform.
ββ¦β¦ Ye Dan would like to thank all of you for coming and supporting Luo Meixuan's second fair. In addition, in order to thank the bidders for their support, Luo Meixuan specially invited the doll's embroiderer this time, and she will embroider another doll-related embroidery according to the bidder's request. Ye Dan spoke at length about the opening remarks, focusing on the final interaction. He said this, not only to warm up the audience, but also to give those young ladies a time to stop talking and turn to the singing and selling party.
"Now without further ado. Please be the protagonist of today. Ye Dan saw that the scene was silent, and he said to the backcourt with great satisfaction.
Pink smiled and came up with a wooden box. She was tall, wearing a festive smoky skirt, with a thin powder on her face, but she looked like a different person. Du Mei almost looked stupid, it turned out that makeup was comparable to disguise.
"That'...... Then Du Xing must be hiding among these people! Du Mei looked at the audience.
"Everyone, please see, this is the product of this singing sale." Ye Dan opened the box and revealed the six fire civets in the box. He slowly rotated in circles on the high platform so that everyone could see it.
"Wow, last time there were only two auctioned for a high price of 100 taels of silver, and now these six have to be multiplied several times." Du Mei approached and listened to a young man's little servant whisper.
"You little guy haven't seen it, can you still grow in quantity from the things at this record sale?" A boy in a smoky blue robe next to him sneered.
"If you have the ability, let's compete in the auction!" The so-called dog beating still depends on the owner, the owner of the small house is wearing a pine-colored gown, he can't get over his face, and his hand holding the camellia flower stick is tight.
"Yo, I'm still scared of you? Come on! The boy in the smoky blue robe is also a hot temper, just a little bit, directly on the bar, he snatched the orchid flower stick in the hand of the little guy, and held it himself.
"Don't think these are six identical dolls." Ye Dan smiled and put the six small ones directly in the tray. Pink walked slowly around the crowd.
The eyes of those who have seen it are straight, and these six smiling, beautiful, stupid, obedient, skinny, and greedy little fiery foxes are embroidered vividly, and the expressions on their faces are no different from the seven emotions and six desires of people.
Peach returned to the high platform, and Ye Danlang said: "There are six small beavers, the reserve price is sixty taels of silver, and the price increase must not be less than ten taels each time, and there is no limit to the number of more!" β
"Seventy taels!" As soon as Ye Dan's voice fell, the boy in the pine flower robe couldn't wait to raise the flower stick.
"Camellia out of seventy taels!" Ye Dan stretched out his hand and pointed.
"Eighty taels!" The boy in the smoky blue robe answered, hurriedly raised the flower stick, and did not forget to glare at the person who sang against him.
"Ninety taels!"
"One hundred taels!"
These two people didn't wait for others to interject at all, one was more anxious than the other, you said a word, and in the blink of an eye, they raised the price without waiting for breath.
"Two hundred taels!" Next to the high platform, a girl who looked like a maid held up a peony flower stick.
"Huh?" The two were completely interrupted by the latecomers, and they didn't know how to pick them up for a while. This has obviously increased the price of ten taels once,
Shengsheng became a hundred taels plus a price.
Ye Dan saw that the two young men looked at each other, and did not dare to increase the price, seeing that the scene was going to be cold, he hurriedly pushed a fire: "Two hundred taels of peony!" β
"The peony is two hundred taels, is there any price increase?" Ye Dan shook the copper bell tied to his belt vigorously, and the bell rang quickly and sonorously, as if the drums of war were rushing.
"Two hundred and sixty taels!" A small guy held up a hibiscus flower stick.
"Two hundred and sixty taels, now it's two hundred and sixty taels!" Ye Dan shouted.
"Three hundred taels!" The peony flower stick was raised again.
"Three hundred and fifty taels!" Not to be outdone, Hibiscus Flower Pick followed closely.
"Five hundred taels!" The owner of the peony flower pick seems to be bound to win, and the price increase is getting bigger and bigger.
"Six hundred and sixty taels!" The owner of the hibiscus flower sign has no intention of giving up at all.
The two of them added and increased the price, soaring all the way to eleven times the reserve price, the whole audience held their breath nervously, Du Mei also unconsciously clenched her fists, she didn't expect that the six small ones would sell at such a high price, and the price was still being refreshed.
"One thousand taels, but my young lady said that she wanted to see the doll alone." The peony flower stick was raised again, and the maid made a regular and normal request.
"Okay, that's no problem, if the owner of the hibiscus flower sign gives up the bidding, he can naturally give you priority." Ye Dan said with a relaxed face, and turned his head to look at the owner of the hibiscus flower stick, a young man in Chinese clothes.
"I'll give you one thousand and one hundred taels, and ask this young lady to appreciate it." The young man in Chinese clothes had a pair of seductive eyes, and he stared at the owner of the peony flower stick.
The owner of the peony flower pick looked like a girl, wearing a green onion soft smoke pleated skirt, with black hair coiled into a snake bun, and an apricot blossom hollow flat gold hairpin obliquely inserted. She sat there quietly with her head bowed with her silk handkerchief in her hand, leaving only a piece of snow neck to evoke reverie.
For everyone who wants to take a closer look at the embroidery without actually paying for it, it is the object of Du Mei's suspicion. The owner of the peony flower pick only gave a thousand taels verbally, and he was anxious to see the embroidery, so Du Mei paid special attention to her.
RosΓ© handed over the tray containing the six small ones, and the girl lowered her head and looked at them one by one, she looked very slowly, and it took a cup of tea to finish the six small ones.
The girl pushed the tray to the maid, and Du Mei finally saw her face the moment she looked up. Willow eyebrows and apricot eyes, pink face and peach cheeks, Du Mei almost didn't dare to recognize it, but they have been living together and noisy for more than ten years, makeup covers the flaws on the face, but they can't change the bones and eyes, Du Mei recognized her as Du Xing at a glance!
Du Xing said something in the maid's ear, and the maid nodded, and raised the peony flower stick expressionlessly: "One thousand two hundred taels!" β
At this time, the price was as high as two hundred taels per doll. The other people holding the flower sticks were all frightened, and they didn't dare to shout the price, so they could only give up.
"Haha, it's a little interesting, the master will continue to play with you, one thousand three hundred taels!" The young man in Chinese costume stood up from his seat.
"We give up." The maid hung down the flower stick and whispered.
"Huh, can't afford to play?" The young man in Chinese costume was annoyed. This is a bit of an interest, and no one dares to play this kind of money-burning thing with him.
"Congratulations, Fleur bid 1,300 taels, is there any price increase?" Ye Dan was also shocked by this price, but his face was relaxed and cheerful.
After a pause, Ye Dan looked around the audience
Shake the brass bell on your waist: "One thousand three hundred taels, once." β
"One thousand three hundred taels, twice."
After the singer shouts three times, if no one answers the higher price, the item goes to the last bidder.
"A thousand ......" Ye Dan dragged out his voice and began to report it for the third time.
"Wait! Wait! Liu Lu led the mother-in-law of a large family down from the second floor, and the mother-in-law said in a loud voice.
Ye Dan saw that someone was coming, so he swallowed the second half of this sentence and waited for his mother-in-law to step forward.
"My master will give 1,800 taels!" The mother-in-law raised the gardenia stick in her hand high, and her voice trembled slightly because of excitement.
One stone stirred up a thousand waves, and the scene was in an uproar, such a price is already three hundred and two! The young man in Huafu was a little hesitant, he didn't really want to add more, even though he spent a lot of money, but he was not such a loser.
"One thousand eight hundred taels, one time." Ye Dan began to count down.
"One thousand eight hundred taels, twice."
"One thousand eight hundred taels, three times. Deal! β
After Ye Dan finished quoting the price, the onlookers instantly boiled, some were envious, and many were jealous. Everyone flocked to the high platform like a tide, vying to see how beautiful the doll that dared to sell nearly two thousand taels of silver was embroidered.
Du Mei couldn't care about how others made a fuss, her eyes stared at Du Xing for a moment, seeing that she wanted to leave while she was in chaos, Du Mei didn't care to tell Ye Dan on the high platform, she lifted the hem of her skirt by herself and tiptoed up.
The praying mantis catches the cicada and the yellow finch is behind, Du Mei follows Du Xing, and the young man upstairs is curiously chasing Du Mei, but he does not take the usual path, but on the roof like a nimble big cat, quietly through the wall over the top and follow far away.
"You've been with me all the way, haven't you come out yet?" Du Xing suddenly stopped, turned around and said.
Du Mei, who was hidden in the corner, was shocked, and just hesitated to go out, but heard a man's joking voice coming: "Girl, it's so daring!" Under the surname Xue, dare to ask the girl's name? β
"Xue Gongzi, the little woman is as ordinary as a mustard, and it is not worth naming your name in front of you, for fear of polluting your hearing." Du Xing's voice was cold, although it was the hottest June at the moment, after listening to her words, she also felt the chill spread from the soles of her feet all over her body.
"Your little wild cat's temperament makes me itch unbearably, my son likes it!" Xue Gongzi took a step forward, intending to hold Du Xing's hand.
"Do you know who I am?" Du Xing shook his hand and shouted.
"After tonight, it's not mine!" Xue Gongzi only said that Du Xing was the daughter of a small family, and he couldn't help but tease it recklessly.
"What nonsense are you talking about, don't leave quickly, don't get entangled. Otherwise, I'm afraid my life will not be guaranteed! Du Xing gave a fierce look to the maid beside her, and the maid nodded in understanding.
"You ......"
"Poof." Before Xue Gongzi's words were finished, the maid suddenly raised her hand, and a white light flew out of her sleeve, straight to his throat.
"Plop." Xue Gongzi didn't say anything more, and fell straight to the ground. The fishy smell of fresh blood instantly spreads.
Du Mei was stirred by this blood, her heart churned, she hid in the shadows, and endured it alive.
"Cousin, how long are you going to hide?" Du Xing asked lazily towards the corner. 2k reading web
