Walking into the courtyard of the Liang Mansion, the autumn colors are considerable.

The cyan courtyard with grinding bricks and joints, the heavy gate courtyard, the red pillars and tiles, and the autumn mood is strong. A few large pots of hostas on the verandah, the green leaves are draped away, and the snow-white flower hairpins are even more dusty.

Walking into the open courtyard, an old acacia tree is covered with a layer of dark green gray by the autumn color, and the clusters of chrysanthemums under the tree bloom vigorously and vigorously.

A stage was set up in the courtyard, and the archway was tied with plain flowers, dotted with one or two bright nine flowers, simple and elegant.

Luo Shi sighed, this craft is also a good hand in the wedding scene cloth in modern times.

Chrysanthemum feast, naturally indispensable to hold crabs to chrysanthemums, drink chrysanthemum wine, tie chrysanthemum mountains, eat chrysanthemum pots, elegant and appreciate chrysanthemums, make nine flower poems, chrysanthemum wine orders and so on.

After walking around, Luo Shi found that most of the ladies of the boudoir were self-conscious, and they knew very well the value of each other's families.

The ladies of the official eunuchs are also divided into three, six, nine and so on - the retired gentlemen are always not as loud as the official eunuchs in power; The daughter of the county official can't do the lady from the capital.

In short, the difference between the superior and the inferior, the difference between the noble, they exchanged a few words, and after reporting to their home, they probably had a score in their hearts.

Therefore, there is no need for Uncle Liang to arrange the seats at night, they will solve it by themselves, and they will sit at the front, and they will always be the most powerful famous and noble women.

Luo Shi only watched from the side, if someone came to ask, he only said that he was the daughter of a small merchant family, and he had the opportunity to go to the chrysanthemum banquet with the prefect Yu Youlong.

The person who asked was still polite, but the tone instantly became distant and cold, and they usually couldn't talk for more than three sentences, and they would probably leave under the pretext of going to talk elsewhere.

In the end, no one cared about the astringency, so he was happy to be at ease, found the last place, and ate the hairy crab by himself.

"Don't you even use eight crabs? It's so indecent to eat it with your bare hands."

A timid girl couldn't believe it when she looked at Luo Shi like this.

"Heh, the girl from the poor door has never seen the world, and she doesn't know where she stole the gold leaf, so she was allowed to come in, this autumn fat crab is so rare, she has never seen it, where would she think about using eight crabs? Hurry up and eat, eat until you eat in your stomach to earn! ”

The person who spoke was Yin Baozhu, and she spent five hundred taels to buy the qualifications to enter the venue, because she was a young lady from the Shangjia family, regardless of the gold and silver mountains in the family, she could only sit at the last table.

Coupled with her cheesy taste, no one paid attention to her, she touched her nose, so she had to come to Luo Shi to ridicule and find a sense of superiority.

Luo Shi glanced at her and warned her with a cold gaze.

Yin Baozhu remembered that this woman didn't play cards according to the routine, and she didn't speak with others, if she provoked her, she would be so spicy that she would beat people directly, and she couldn't help but be a little stunned.

Although he continued to slander, he no longer tried his best to ridicule him, and picked a crab, intending to taste the delicacy of autumn crabs:

"Come on, bring me a set of eight crabs!" She waved her hand and beckoned the little servant who was waiting to come over.

"Girl, do you want gold or silver, or a set of glazed jade?" The little guy is very attentive.

Yin Baozhu holds his own identity, so he naturally wants to choose a good one, so he said: "Do you still need to ask, it is naturally the glazed jade that is worthy of my use, go and get it"

"Yes, yes, let's get the small one, a set of eight glass jade crabs, a total of one hundred and twenty taels, do you pay in cash or settle after hanging the account?"

The little guy took out the pen and ink book from his waist with his hands and feet, licked the brush head with his tongue, and wrote down the account.

Yin Baozhu looked confused, how did she know that she had to use eight crabs to make her own flowers...... Money to buy?

She looked left and right, and saw that many people were looking at her with playful eyes, at this time, no one should look down on her, especially this poor girl named Luo, she bit her silver teeth and said ruthlessly:

"Cash!"

Pulling out a stack of silver tickets, she pulled out one and slapped it on the table.

Luo Shi glanced at her in surprise, and couldn't help admiring Uncle Liang's eye for selecting people at night, it seemed that this Yin Baozhu was stunned like a nouveau riche, but it was these people who could slaughter the oil and water the most.

The little guy took the money and walked away.

Luo Shi looked around left and right, and saw that almost everyone spent money to buy eight pieces of crab, and elegantly used tools, knocked the shell and removed the meat little by little, and dipped it in the dipping sauce of ginger vinegar, and then slowly sent it into the mouth.

couldn't help but sigh: For a vulgar person like her, it is more difficult for Uncle Liang to make money at night.

Spread your hands, sorrow.

With a click, she used her good teeth to break the big crab claws, which immediately attracted the surprised disgust of the surroundings.

Slippery, she sucked the fat paste in the crab cap, leaving all the disdainful eyes behind, the food is current, only enjoyment.

After lunch, Sang Bai came out and stood on the stage, and said happily:

"Little one, please say hello to the girls, how does this autumn crab taste? This is the first batch of new crabs that my young master sent someone south to buy back a month ago, the freshest is the freshest, and it is difficult to buy on the market.

The woman is reserved and will not take the stubble, so Sang Bai can only talk back on his own:

"My young master heard that this year's year is not good, Huguang is poor, the price of grain is crazy, the grain is by sea, and it takes October to Tongzhou, so the poor people have no food to eat, so they plan to start and raise some silver to buy righteous grain, all the young ladies are famous families, full of poetry and books, Bodhisattva heart, this righteous act can make a contribution, right?"

"How do you raise money?"

A woman sitting at the first table in front of her raised her voice.

"Simple, my young master will take some of the things he treasures and loves to share with the young ladies, if he can see it, he will bid for it, and the one with the highest price will get ...... Oh! My young master said that if you can guess the favorite thing in his life, there will be a special gift for you~"

Whispers rang out from the audience.

Luo Shi held his cheeks, and in his thoughts, should he bring out a plate of chili peppers?

Everyone in the world knows that he loves spicy and beauty, and it is always correct to guess these two things.

The discussion continued, and the first batch of things had been brought to the stage - all of them were some of the girl's favorite gadgets, such as a 36-sided drum made of sorghum slices, a complete set of flour-faced dolls made of gold and silver mud, and a multi-treasure mackerel lantern with goose yellow ears......

Each of them has a small story, or bought it when traveling in Kyushu, or learned to make it by yourself, the reserve price is not high, five or six taels of base, about a dozen taels, and it is basically auctioned out.

The girls are familiar with the bidding process, and they also have the courage to shout the price, and they are no longer as reserved as they were at the beginning, for fear of being the first to come out, and they will appear frivolous.

After getting used to it, an inexplicable feeling of refreshment arises spontaneously. I have always heard only men bidding for competing objects, or treasures, or women, they are deep in the boudoir, how can there be such an opportunity?

It's hard to have it, but everyone who likes it is willing to shout a price, sometimes, not only for things, but also for their own worth and face.

The things that come up in the second round are much more valuable.

From the four treasures of the study to the bottle furnace calligraphy and painting, they are all extraordinary, and then it is necessary to consider whether they know the goods. Knowing the goods for the value of the object itself, to call a price, not knowing the goods is also easy to do, listen to the origin of this thing, see if it is Uncle Liang's favorite thing at night, if you feel some stories, then shoot it!

In the third round, Samber only brought two things.

One is a bronze mirror adorned with precious stones, and the other is an inconspicuous-looking jar of black pickles.

The women looked at each other, and they could see the doubts in each other's eyes.

These two things must have a deep meaning when they are taken out at the end, it seems that Liang Shizi's favorite thing must be one of these two things!

The bronze mirror is bright and expensive, presumably it is here to confuse people, I have heard that Liang Shizi is spicy and has tasted all the world's food, this jar of pickles must be his favorite!

With this basic consensus, everyone made bids one after another, risking their lives to take this jar of spicy dishes into their pockets, and gave a special gift promised by Uncle Liang himself.

Half a cup of tea, from the reserve price of fifty wen to one thousand taels!

"Five thousand taels!"

Yin Baozhu was very annoyed! Every time she bids, Sang Bai doesn't see it, she just cares about serving the young lady of the official eunuch in front of her, and she, a businessman, is completely ignored!

Five thousand taels finally bought her the opportunity to be noticed and scrutinized.

Sang Bai asked around and no one raised the price anymore, waved his hand, and his own little guy stepped forward to collect money and keep accounts, and Sang Bai personally moved the spicy vegetable jar to Yin Baozhu.

Luo Shi was at the same table with Yin Baozhu, and when she looked at this jar seriously, she felt very familiar-

After Yin Baozhu trembled her hands and carefully opened the spicy vegetable jar of five thousand taels, she was dumbfounded, there was nothing empty inside!

Luo Shi slapped her forehead, and suddenly remembered!

This spicy vegetable jar is clearly the jar where he ate the mud and sand when she first saw Uncle Liang at night, and I still remember that he broke his back molars at that time......

She couldn't help but applaud him, such a broken thing, he actually sold it for five thousand taels of silver?

Everyone looked at the daughter of the merchant who sat at the end with envy, thinking about what the special gift Liang Shizi said, what was it?

"Isn't there anyone bidding for this bronze mirror?"

Sang Bai asked around, and everyone shook their heads, looking at the luxury of jewelry, which must be worth a lot of money.

Luo Shi felt that it was not good to not give Sang Bai face like this, so she was too lazy to raise her hand and said with a smile:

"I'll add a tael"

Sang Bai gave him a grateful look, and immediately pulled out his voice and said: "The base price of this bronze mirror is ten taels, and this girl will increase the price by one tael, a total of eleven taels, you can take it!" ”

It's so cheap, and the girls in the audience are full of regret.

Luo Xi got up unhurriedly, and took the bronze mirror under the stage, she looked at it in front and back, and found that the jewelry was all fakes, glass beads from the West, not worth a few dollars, she paid eleven taels, and felt a little lost......

Seeing Luo Shi take the bronze mirror, Sang Bai announced with some pride:

"Everything has been auctioned, and my young master's favorite thing is the bronze mirror in this girl's hand!"

As soon as he said this, everyone was in an uproar!

Especially Yin Baozhu, she hugged the spicy vegetable jar in her arms tightly, and had already secretly kissed several bites, and now tell her the bad news, how can she continue to face her future life positively and healthily?

Luo Shi was also full of surprise, she said to herself: What the hell!

This bronze mirror is special? Under the moonlight, the mirror will show the martial arts cheats?

She straightened the mirror and looked around carefully, except for her own delicate and delicate face in the mirror, there was nothing special......

My heart skipped a beat.

She looked at the person in the mirror, her eyes were fluttering, and a chuckle suddenly came from her ears, and she immediately raised her eyes to look—

The person on the stage was dressed in white, his eyes were smiling, and he was full of tenderness and sweetness under the color of play.

Damn Uncle Liang, he dared to tease her......
