Chapter 236: A Born Pair
In a bidding occasion like Kuixinglou, in addition to the normal bidding and the way for the highest bidder to win, there is another domineering bidding method, which is called "clearing".
That is, no matter how much others ask, as long as there are competing buyers on the field, every time someone makes a bid, the "clearer" will add a fixed amount of money, which will not be lower than the reserve price of the sold goods, until the whole market gives up and no one dares to fight.
Kuixinglou has held countless auctions since the opening of the store for eight years, and the buyers who dare to open their mouths to "clear the market" are counted by a slap, which is not only a kind of courage that must be won, but also requires the buyer to have the right to have wealth and power, and the three are indispensable.
Otherwise, if you open your mouth to "clear the field" once, you will be majestic, but the consequences will most likely be disgrace and bankruptcy.
Li Tai's words were released, and the atmosphere in the hall on the first floor was white-hot again, and the banquet exploded with a "buzz".
The focus is no longer on the King of Wei's competition for the birthday gift that the King of Han and Miss Changsun prepared to present to Yu Shinan, but on the rare high-roller behavior of this hundred questions.
"Wei, Lord Wei will clear the venue tonight, add ten thousand taels, do you guests still have a high price?"
It was the first time for the seller at the booth to experience such a thing, and he was so excited that he couldn't even speak, his eyes scanned the audience like a searchlight, and he couldn't wait to find a few to compete with Li Tai
"Tut-tut, do you see it, I just said that this thing must fall into the hands of King Wei tonight."
"This is a 10,000-tael-one clearance, just hearing about it, my hands can't help but tremble, quickly, quickly pour a glass of wine and suppress my shock."
"You just heard Miss Changsun say no, this book treasure was bought for Princess Wei to see, and they all said that Prince Wei loves this late-married princess very much, it seems that it is not false at all, in order to please the beauty to smile, he threw a thousand dollars, and he didn't even give Mr. Yu's face, sigh"
"Alas, do you think the King of Han will increase the price again?"
"It's hard to say, if this is added, it is obvious that it will not give face to King Wei, but if it is not added, it will definitely lose face in front of Miss Changsun, both sides are famous and famous beauties in Chang'an City, the two princes are afraid that they will not be able to lose this face, this uncle and nephew may be carried tonight..."
The seller shouted, and the guests present were still paying attention to the two screens in the southeast, Li Yuanchang, Miss Changsun, and Wei Wang and his wife, these two pairs seemed to have become the focus of tonight, and what people looked at and talked about in their mouths was inseparable from the four of them.
Compared with the excitement of outsiders, Yi Yu was stunned now, she wanted Zhong Xuan's handwriting, and wanted to be able to spend a lot of money to buy that article, which was already the most bold thing she had done in such a big life, but she didn't expect Li Tai to be more ruthless than her
This is said to be adding 10,000 every time, but as long as someone increases the price, Li Tai will call 70,000, and if someone adds it, Li Tai will call 90,000
Touching the fluttering heart, Yi Yu twisted her neck stiffly, met Li Tai's face that made her love and hate, held her breath, and squeezed out a sentence:
"What do you want to do now?"
Li Tai's left index finger curled, and his thumb lightly rubbed the surface of the gemstone ring that was dark blue in the light, and said:
"Huh? Do what. β
Yi Yu grinded his teeth, sat up on his knees, grabbed his shoulder, leaned to his ear, lowered his voice, and snorted coldly:
"I want to burn a handful of ** incense to stun the people in this building now, and then take you and "Recommended Season Straight Table" home."
Hearing the chagrin that could not be hidden in her words, the little face that approached was full of awkwardness that she was distressed about money and reluctant to give up things, and when she thought that her solid bold man really dared to do such a thing, her heart moved, and she suddenly smiled, lowered her head and gently pressed her forehead against her, and teased softly:
"Even if you don't use incense, I'll get something to take you home."
It's rare for her to ask for it, don't say it's a calligraphy and painting, as long as he can afford it, there will always be a status that all women in the world want, and he will give it to her.
Next door, after Changsun Xi called out "clear the field" from Li Tai, he was too stunned, stood outside for a while, and when he heard Li Yuanchang's call, he stiffened his hands and feet and retreated to his seat.
"Xi'er," Li Yuanchang saw that her face was not as good-looking as Fang Cai, so he called her hesitantly and discussed:
"You see, the fourth child has cleared the scene, and this king is embarrassed to compete with his junior, so it's better to let him go."
As soon as he finished speaking, looking at Changsun Xi's suddenly blackened face, he knew that it was something bad, and hurriedly remedied:
"This king is saying, I will find a better one for you in the future, not bad this one, you also know that I love to collect calligraphy and paintings, and the authentic works of famous artists really contain a lot, if you like itββ"
"Hehe," Changsun Xi burst out laughing, interrupting his persuasion, tugging at his sleeve and pulling away his paws covering the back of her hand, and raised his eyebrows:
"Seventh Uncle Mo has not forgotten, Xi'er is not one of those women from humble backgrounds who can't be put on the table, the daughter of my eldest grandson's family, what kind of world has she never seen? I just happened to meet tonight, I really want this "Recommended Season Straight Table", but I didn't say that I must let Uncle Seventh break your bank, right? β
Hearing this, Li Yuanchang was embarrassed, and said: "What you said is serious, since this king has said it, he will definitely buy it and send it to you, but, it's just that the money I brought when I went out tonight is not enough, I'm afraid it won't be enough to ask for the price." β
Speaking of which, he was still reluctant to break the bank, Changsun Xi sneered in his heart, but his face softened, poured a cup of tea, handed it to him, sighed lightly, and said in a deep voice:
"Originally, I didn't plan to let go of this book treasure, but if I asked for it, it would inevitably make Uncle Seven difficult to do... Let's just give it to them. β
Hearing that she took the initiative to give up, Li Yuanchang secretly breathed a sigh of relief, the matter he begged Li Tai had not been completed, and it was really not good to argue with him on this matter, not to mention, 50,000 taels was not a small amount.
But before meeting, the beauty frowned and smiled reluctantly, he couldn't help but feel ashamed, and took advantage of the situation to hold the pair of Rouyi who she handed over the tea, and said apologetically:
"This time you have been wronged, don't worry, this king promised you, there will be a next time, no matter who this king is, he will not give in."
Unexpectedly, as expected, a handwritten script inherited by Zhong Xuan, a great calligrapher in the Cao Wei period, finally fell into the hands of Li Tai.
After the seller repeatedly asked the guests to bid to no avail, he finally sold the deal at a price of 50,000 taels in a disappointed voice.
Seeing that the steward of Kui Xinglou came to collect the box of expensive tickets, Yu Yu's flesh ached, and he was soon attracted by the brocade box in his hand.
She carefully held the brocade box containing Zhong Xuan's authentic work, and couldn't help grinning, and she didn't care how stupid she was in Li Tai's eyes at the moment, so she first identified the thing, although this thing Kui Xinglou didn't dare to cheat, but this sky-high treasure was still better to be careful.
After confirming that it was correct, she closed the lid before she turned her head to look at Li Tai, staring at him so tightly and not speaking.
"What's wrong again?" Li Tai asked.
One, well, that," Yu rubbed his earlobe, wanting to say a decent word or two to thank him, but whatever came to his lips felt clichΓ©.
"Thank you for not needing, your sixteenth birthday will be in a month, and it will be regarded as a gift, didn't you give it to me too?"
Li Tai pointed to the fine wood hairpin on the top of his hair, he carried it with him for a month, this small piece of wood is really a treasure, not to mention other benefits, just his internal strength that has not been refined for many years has suddenly risen a layer, and it is enough to make people unbelievable when he says it.
Thinking about it, she doesn't know the true use of this fine wood, but he has the bottom in his heart, this hairpipe, but no one recognizes it, if he knows the benefits, put it on the rivers and lakes, it can be used as an immortal treasure to be fought for, causing a bloody storm is not necessarily.
Yi Yu was happy in her heart, but she pouted, "Then you mean that you won't give me any more on my birthday?" That's not good, how can anyone give a birthday gift in advance? β
Women are greedy, although this "Recommended Season Straight Table" is good, but it is a temporary idea, how can I want him to prepare a gift for her.
Li Tai likes to see her coquettish, pointed his index finger on the tip of her nose, and said, "Then put this thing for me first, and I'll give it to you on your birthday." β
As he spoke, he was going to get the brocade box she put on his lap, but how could he be willing, he hurriedly hugged it in his arms, and let him take it down with him, and refused to let go, only when he scratched the itch, he laughed out loud, and was afraid that people outside would hear it, so he frolicked with him silently for a while, and then he was born.
Ah Sheng pretended to be deaf and dumb and stood outside the veil, listening to the movement inside, because this childish time when the two of them played with the moon too much, it was not unusual.
After buying the thing that he cared for, the one behind him was already out of interest, and it was not surprising that when they were about to leave the scene early, they would meet Changsun Xi and Li Yuanchang head-on in front of the gate.
"The fourth brother walks slowly, I still have something to tell you, borrow a step to speak." Li Yuanchang pulled Li Tai away, leaving the two of them with the eldest grandson, standing in front of the courtyard of Kuixinglou, where no one came and went.
"I really want to congratulate Princess Wei on getting the treasure." The eldest grandson Xi was dressed in a Guerlain robe, holding an octagonal silver stove, looking sideways at the jade, his apricot eyes were raised, and his tone was slight.
Yi Yu was in a mood more than a hundred times better than when she was talking to Chang Sun Xi in front of the public in the building before, and she didn't hide that she was full of spring breeze, and she sorted out the green fur on her body with one hand, bent her eyes at her, and said:
"I'm really sorry, I took what you wanted."
A pun, how could the eldest grandson Xi not hear what she said, no matter how angry she was, she refused to lose the battle on her face, her eyes turned, a pair of sweet nests rose up on her cheeks, and she said softly:
"I heard the rough man in the courtyard say before, thick-skinned, eat enough, it seems that this is true, Princess Wei's cheekiness, I really understand, I have made it clear that this gift is to be given to Master Yu, but you still have to instigate him to fight, I didn't think that it would cause him chaos like this, I really don't know what it means, who has the face to say that others are selfish, and they don't follow what they are."
"Haha," Yi Yu suddenly shook his head and smiled, didn't even look at her, turned his head to chase after Li Tai's figure under the wall over there, his eyes were lit up by love, and he was proud in his words:
"Neither of my husband and wife are afraid of things, it is precisely because of this that I am worthy of him, he is worthy of me, what do you know as an outsider?"
One is bold, the other is daring, isn't this a natural pair?γ.γ
