CHAPTER XXXVI
Li Xiao didn't expect that Yuan Ang would also appear on such an occasion. As the No. 1 junior in Liaoyang, Yuan An's actions can be described as high-profile. As soon as he appeared, he received everyone's attention.
Yuan Ang sat down in the chief very gracefully, accompanied by the two reddest girls in the Qinglou. The table was filled with seasonal fruits and vegetables, as well as drinks, almost instantly. Aunt Hong, who had just dragged it like twenty-five or eighty-thousand, circled around Yuan Ang like a butterfly.
Apples are peeled, oranges are peeled. I don't know where I got the grapes, and I also peeled them and sent them to Yuan An's mouth. That look, it's almost stuffing ** into the mouth to feed.
The power of the second generation of officials is really terrifying!
"That is the son of Lord Jinglue?"
"That's right, that's the son of Lord Jinglue. A few days ago, Miss Cui'er, a red man, was taken the lead by him. ”
There are two guys next to him, who seem to be the same as Li Xiao, waiting here to auction things. This bargain house arranges for the auction of things, once the transaction is sold. The seller also has to sign the paperwork, and the price hall is no longer responsible after the silver and goods are paid.
So, these buyers are waiting in the background. As long as their stuff is sold, they have to go on stage and sign in front of everyone. It means that no matter how cheap or expensive it is, it will not go back.
Li Xiao didn't expect that Yuan Dagongzi was okay. But a normal man, who is not good at this?
"That's the son of Lord Futai! That's the son of the county magistrate, and that one is amazing. The son of General Zhu of the Protector Yamen, the ...... That is the son of Master Xing of Liaoyang Mansion. That is Zheng Daguan, who is in the jade business, and that is Liu Fuzi in the Fuxue. Yo! Qi officials, who were in the coal business, also came. It looks like I'm going to get rich today! ”
Hearing that Master Xing's son was also here, Li Xiao suddenly became interested. Looking in the direction of their fingers, they saw a young man in a brocade robe, about twenty-seven or eighteen years old. This guy was born very tall, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, no matter how he looks, he doesn't look like Master Xing's species. The demeanor seems to be more similar to Ao Canghai. Could it be that Ao Ye made a cameo appearance as the old king next door?
"Here we go! Here we go! ”
"Don't speak, you can't afford to surprise the nobles!"
"Got it, shut up!"
These two people seem to come here to sell things often, and they know the rules of this place and the people below them. Li Xiao learned a lot of news from their mouths.
"This first product for sale is the white jade Guanyin! Ladies and gentlemen, take your eyes! After Aunt Hong gave Yuan Ang a fragrant kiss, she went on the stage flutteringly. Start your buying journey today!
Those who came were all well-known figures in Liaoyang Mansion, and the people in the officialdom did not come in person. They all sent their own sons, but there are not so many taboos in business, and they are all shirtless.
Judging from the asking price, Li Xiao knows the class of this year. Whatever the gentlemen fancied, the merchants generally did not ask for a price. Only what the gentlemen don't want, the merchants will start to compete in price.
Of course, there were also merchants who came with the gentlemen. At a glance, you can see that it is the best combination of power and money. If this happens, the tearing will be extremely tragic. Prices will also soar very high!
However, if Yuan Ang asks for a price, the scene will immediately fall silent. If anyone has something in their hands that Yuan Ang fancies, it will be too unlucky.
Don't look at it as just an auction in Liaoyang Mansion, but the grade is very high.
In addition to the white jade Guanyin, there are also jade carved pendants. The two Shu brocades shone brightly under the candlelight, and they knew at a glance that they were good things. Even inside a tea tube, the big red robe from Wuyi Mountain was sealed. Li Xiao doesn't know if it's true or not, but it's quite evil to listen to what Aunt Hong said. In front of these gentlemen, you shouldn't dare to sell fakes.
The transaction price is as little as a few hundred taels. The jade golden Buddha is said to be the treasure of Liu Yu's town house in the Eastern Jin Dynasty. It was auctioned for a high price of 1,000 taels of silver!
Master Xing's son Xing Wenzhao rubbed his hands and fidgeted a little, and even the girl next to him only knew how to stare at the stage, and she was less enthusiastic about the pseudo-son next to her.
From the beginning of the auction, Xing Wenzhao was a spectator. He didn't even offer a price once!
Dad said that he was going to resign recently. The family has moved back to their hometown and is currently selling their farmland. But with so much money, it's still too eye-catching to get it back after all. The ground in Liaodong is chaotic, and good things often don't have a good price. Master Xing thought about buying some valuable things in Liaodong and going back. When you get to your hometown, you may be able to make a lot of money by selling it like this.
Therefore, Xing Wenzhao came to the price fight.
But when I came, I realized that I kicked the two hundred taels of silver. It doesn't seem like there's anything to do here, what is auctioned today. The cheapest starting price was also 130 taels, but after a few rounds it rose to more than 200 taels.
Seeing the jade golden Buddha of Liu Yu in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, he actually auctioned off a thousand taels of silver, and Xing Wenzhao's eyes were about to fall to the ground. These people are really fucking rich.
However, Xing Wenzhao was not depressed for long, and soon he found his prey. A glass that is said to come from the Goryeo royal palace starts at only 90 taels of silver. Touch your pocket, maybe you can take it off.
Although Master Xing is not a big official, he can also be regarded as the head snake of Liaoyang Mansion. As Master Xing's eldest son, Xing Wenzhao has also seen some good things. He knew that the glass was not very valuable. But there are still many dignitaries and nobles in the capital who like it, and the price is just what they can eat.
"One hundred taels!" A lazy voice rang out. Li Xiao saw that it was the son of the county magistrate.
"One hundred and ten taels!" Another voice rang out. This time, it was the official Zheng who sold coal.
"One hundred and twenty taels."
"One hundred and twenty-five taels!"
"One hundred and thirty taels ......!"
Compared to the lots just now, the value of the glass is not high. Therefore, the asking price is also three taels or five taels, and ten taels and eight taels are added upwards.
"Damn, this thing wasn't taken from Lao Tzu by Ao Canghai's dog." A man next to him screamed!
Li Xiao glanced at this unlucky guy with sympathy, and it seemed that this was the smuggler. The glass, which was worth more than 100 taels, was stolen by Ao Canghai for 50 taels of silver. Now seeing the price rising, I am naturally unhappy. It is estimated that at this time, I have already greeted all the women in Ao Canghai's family in my heart.
After all, the glass is not a very valuable thing, and when the price reaches one hundred and thirty-five taels, it will stand still. The final bidder is Liu Fuzi, a teacher in the school of the house!
"Ladies and gentlemen, one hundred and thirty-five taels. If there is no higher one, if there is no better one, this thing will belong to Master Liu! Aunt Hong looked at the audience with a smile, and didn't forget to give Yuan Angfei a look at this time.
"One hundred and forty taels!" Just as Liu Fuzi was about to take the stage, suddenly a voice sounded in the corner, and everyone was looking for prestige, who is this!
