Chapter XVI Auctions

As soon as Mu Wenliu came, he followed the waiter's instructions and asked him to go to the auction stewardship to report, and drew a sign back. Later, we will draw lots in the order on the label. This order is important and important, if there are more people who draw red signs in front, then there is no chance in the back, if there are fewer in front, then there is a high probability in the back, but most people want to draw in front.

There are about 50 people who signed up today, and Mu Wenliu drew the 20th, and he can't go up or down.

At this time, the first auction item had already been put on the brocade shed.

After seeing the things on the table, there was an exclamation from below:

"Wow, oh!"

"A huge emerald!" Mu Wenliu shouted out of his voice.

No wonder even the twelve princes came, the first sale was so valuable, so wouldn't it be even more powerful later?

"This... Do we have enough money to bring today? Mu Wenliu dug into his pocket, worried.

Mu Wenqing also wiped his sweat, very surprised.

Ye Yun smiled quietly, but he also felt that the emerald was very beautiful.

The steward above raised his hand to signal everyone to be quiet, and then said: "Ladies and gentlemen, this emerald is not small, it is obtained from the palace of the Fusu Kingdom in the Western Regions, and then please come and touch the cards!" ”

At this time, an old man with gray hair came out, and saw the old man come out with a deck of leaf cards, and he first showed the cards to everyone, according to the total number of cards, which were set at fifty-two cards, in which there were six red cards, and the rest were black cards.

"The person who draws the red card can come up and place a bid!" The steward introduced,

Immediately, everyone watched the old man play a trick and put the cards on the long case in front of him.

At this time, Ye Yun's eyes narrowed, and he looked at his technique carefully, and the corners of his lips slightly hooked a sneer.

Interesting!

This game she loves to play.

"Alright, everyone come forward and draw lots!" As soon as the steward's voice fell, there was a lot of chatter below, and soon many people went up to draw lots. Six places, not many opportunities.

Here, Ye Yun asked Mu Wenqing: "Cousin Qing, do you want this emerald?" ”

Before Mu Wenqing could answer, Mu Wenliu hurriedly said: "Of course, but doesn't this also depend on chance, six places, it's difficult!" ”

"Since I want to, I'll help my cousin pass this first level!" Ye Yun's eyes flashed with a sly light.

As she whispered a word in her ear, she immediately understood, happily squeezed forward, and then lined up to draw lots.

There are several rows of cards on the long case, and each person who goes up ponders which card to take, and has just passed seventeen or eighteen one after another, and only two people have drawn red cards.

When the screen was up, she neatly lifted a red card and took it down.

Everyone cast an envious look.

Mu Wenliu and Mu Wenqing were overjoyed.

At this time, a loud voice came from the pavilion.

"I like this emerald, Mr. Chao, you help His Royal Highness draw a red sign back!"

Mr. Chao is the chief of the palace, Mr. Chao wiped the sweat on his forehead, a little embarrassed, this is by luck. He whispered an order, and a small servant stepped forward to draw lots. It's just that when he came down, the little guy knelt on the ground, "Your Highness, the slave has bad luck and didn't draw a red lot!" ”

There was a bang, and there was a sound of slapping the table.

Needless to say, His Royal Highness the Twelfth is angry, but angry is angry, and he can't help it.

The emperor pays attention to creating a fair and honest image of loving the people like a son in the eyes of the people of the world, and does not allow the emperor's relatives to act as tigers, so the twelve princes cannot coerce Roge with the respect of the prince.

What's more, Rogge has been holding this auction for many years, and in addition to the things he himself shipped, there are also many other wealthy businessmen who run together, and every year they select the best treasures to auction, which is well known in the capital, and is also very famous, and generally no one will come to trouble them.

Listening to the twelve princes smashing the cup inside, Mu Wenqing glanced at Mu Wenliu.

Mu Wenliu understood what he meant, and was a little sullen, he handed him the red sign that the painting screen had just given him, "Take it!" ”

Mu Wenqing smiled, although he was not good at dancing with long sleeves, he was more sophisticated than Mu Wenliu.

He came to the pavilion with a red stick, and said to Mr. Chao: "My lord, my cousin has won the red lottery, we are not going to buy this emerald, and we will borrow flowers to offer this sign to His Royal Highness!" ”

Mr. Chao was overjoyed, and hurriedly looked at the twelve princes inside, and the twelve princes' eyes immediately lit up when they heard this, and they stood up and came to the pavilion, "Really, that's great!" ”

The voice exudes the joy and pleasure of a teenager.

Ye Yun quietly looked back and saw a man in a brocade shirt standing in the middle of the pavilion, it was her cousin Xun Chong, she remembered that Xun Chong was very lively and active, and he was white, tender and cute.

There are many emperors' sons, roughly a dozen, but in addition to Ye Yun's deep impression of the crown prince, the only thing he can remember is this twelve princes, because the twelve princes were born to Concubine Min in the palace and are the most favored princes. It is said that he is the only prince who has been taught by the emperor to learn how to write in the imperial study.

Therefore, Xun Chong has also developed a character that is not afraid of heaven and earth.

Then the winning lottery went to the quantity, and then wrote down the quotation and put it in the box. When the quotation was over, the steward announced everyone's quotation on the spot, and the twelve princes got the emerald for eight hundred taels of silver.

A second lot was then put on the table.

The waiter held a wide, red box with an item covered in a red silk cloth.

When the waiter lifted the red silk, there was an exclamation from below.

"Oh my God, it's gorgeous!"

Some of the girls couldn't help but speak out.

"What's this called?"

"Golden Peacock Feather!" The steward replied loudly.

There are discussions in the ears one after another, it seems that everyone is very interested in this item, Ye Yun took a look at it with his feet, and saw that it was a head shaped like a peacock opening the screen, the head was all made of gold wire, and the gold wire crown was embedded with rubies like eyes, and the gems were ruddy and dazzling, from the bottom one to the top, the rubies were getting smaller and smaller, a total of seven seven and forty-nine rubies, and the whole head was like a golden peacock opening the screen, and when looking at the rubies, it seemed that it was also looking at itself.

Such a luxurious face, but anyone who looks at it wants to have it.

It's so beautiful!

"This... With such a luxurious atmosphere, I'm afraid it won't be our turn! Mu Wenqing said regretfully. He just glanced at it, and there were quite a lot of royal relatives present today. I am afraid that this kind of golden crown can only be matched by characters such as the lady in the palace and the princess and the princess.

"What, you have to fight anyway!" Mu Wenliu retorted angrily, his eyes still glanced at Ye Yun, secretly thinking that Ye Yun would definitely win the lottery later.

Unaware that this look was captured by the painting screen, she recalled the last time Mu Wenliu responded to Ye Yun because of blue and white porcelain, and couldn't help but deliberately pretend to say: "Oh, our young lady is young and inexperienced, don't delay the matter of the second young master!" ”

“.…..” Mu Wenliu blushed, gritted her teeth in anger, and secretly said that this little girl was sharp-toothed.

Mu Wenqing heard the sound of the painting screen, and couldn't help but sneer, and now Mu Wenliu's face blushed even more.

Ye Yun glanced at the painting screen, pursed his lips lightly and smiled, not caring much.

At this time, the white-haired old man began a new round of signing.

Mu Wenliu looked at Ye Yun with some embarrassment, blinked his eyes and said, "Second cousin, which lottery do you want to draw?" He said as he looked from the stand.

Ye Yun squinted for a while, lowered his voice and said a direction in Mu Wenliu's ear.

Mu Wenliu was overjoyed, scratched his head very embarrassed, and then grinned again, and ran up with great interest.

With Ye Yun's help, he naturally quickly pulled out a red sign, and now he was full of strength to win one.

The Mu family was overjoyed, and the Mu brothers were once again impressed by Ye Yun, feeling that she was not lucky but smart.

But when a few of them were rejoicing, they heard the sound of smashing cups again from the pavilion.

"This peacock feather is worthy of my mother's concubine, next month is my mother's birthday, I want to buy it for her as a birthday gift!"

The Twelve Princes roared.

It seems that the Twelve Princes are here to prepare a birthday gift for Concubine Min.

Almost all the people outside the pavilion heard the words of the arrogant prince, and knew that they were angry, so they couldn't help but talk softer.

At this moment, a cold voice came from the middle seat with the best view:

"His Royal Highness Twelfth said this, it reminds me of the queen's birthday last month, the mother is not very satisfied with the gift I gave, and today the son of the world also wants to buy this crown, just to please the mother!"

Ye Xi didn't look before, and he didn't know who was coming, but when he heard this voice at this moment, he knew that Yin Yi was also here.

The queen and Concubine Min have been fighting openly and secretly in the harem, and almost all the courtiers know about it. And the crown prince is the queen's concubine, and the twelve princes are the sons of Min Guifei, the twelve princes have been very favored over the years, and the limelight has completely overshadowed the prince. Although the crown prince is in the state of a brother and friend on the surface, anyone with a discerning eye knows that the prince and the twelve princes are on the same page.

Yin Yi is precisely the nephew of the queen, naturally the prince's party, the prince is not obvious on weekdays, and it is Yin Yi who really competes with the twelve princes and has no mercy.

After listening to these gunpowder-filled words, everyone couldn't help but secretly wipe their sweat, and I am afraid that there will be another lively scene today.

When the twelve princes heard this, they were furious, and when they landed, they stood up from the chair and glared at Yin Yi in the crowd,

He was about to open his mouth to scold Yin Yi as usual, but when he saw Yin Yi holding up a red card, he didn't even look at him, and told him to shut up.

He turned his head and kicked the chair out of the pavilion, where the guards were commonplace, and changed him with another chair.

Mu Wenqing and Mu Wenliu both heard the movement, this time Mu Wenliu held the sign in his arms and didn't look at Mu Wenqing, the intention was obvious, he didn't want to give it to the twelve princes anymore.

Mu Wenqing smiled and did not persuade him.

It just so happened that the Twelve Princes and Mr. Chao were also glancing over there by the pavilion, and they were looking at the red sticks held by Mu Wenliu, and they were so angry that their teeth itched.

The last one was given to him, and this time he always had no cheekiness to take the initiative to ask for it. The Twelve Princes couldn't afford to lose this person, but they just became more and more angry in their hearts.

Mu Wenliu whispered to Mu Wenqing across Ye Yun: "Big brother, I think that since the death of the second lady of the Su family who can cure Yin Shizi, Yin Shizi's temper seems to have been restrained a lot, but this usually hearty twelve princes are often angry with Yin Shizi!" ”

Ye Yun's face stiffened when he heard this, and his eyelashes lowered slightly.

At this time, the six places were set again.

Mu Wenliu discussed with Mu Wenqing and went to the stage to make an offer.

This gold peacock feather is many times more precious than the emerald gemstone, and there are so many rubies, I am afraid that the gold alone will cost a few catties, Mu Wenliu totaled about it, and reported two thousand taels to come down.

No matter how expensive it is, he can't afford it.

When the stewards announced the prices one by one, Mu Wenliu was still a little nervous, and when the sixth place was announced, Yin Yi won the head of the gold wire inlaid ruby for 4,000 taels. Mu Wenliu was still a little lost.

Compared to his loss, the Twelve Princes can be said to be furious. The thing he fancied for his mother's birthday was snatched away by Yin Yi, can he be happy?

After everyone congratulated Yin Yi for a while, the steward had already made people put out the third thing.

I saw two people carrying up an object, which was also covered by a large red silk cloth, about the height of a person and a half, which aroused everyone's curiosity for a while.

When the steward lifted the red silk cloth himself, there was a sound of gasping air from below.

A red coral tree!

Rare in the world!

What a rarity!
