Chapter 32: The Race (I)
It is said that the male guests present are the most valuable as King Qing, and King Xiaoxian is just a title that everyone is accustomed to, and King Lao Xian is still there, and he can't inherit the throne yet. However, during the serious illness of King Laoqing, his family wealth was scattered, and King Xiaoqing was a sick man, and no one cared about his identity. He is also the general existence of Xiaoxian Wang's pendant, and it is good to have a place.
When everyone entered the table, they didn't feel it, but now they find that this banquet looks lively and peaceful, but it reflects dignity and humility everywhere.
Xiao Qian didn't care about himself, but King Xiaoxian was a little indignant. But now that someone else is a guest in the house, what can they do?
"One thousand taels of silver."
Mrs. Hou of Dongyang's voice was neither high nor low, and she stretched out an index finger to Xu's mother, then put it down, and set her eyes on her little grandson Jing Can.
"Wow!"
knew that Mrs. Hou of Dongyang offered the pinnacle, but a thousand taels of silver still shocked everyone.
Mother Xu asked three times if there was anyone bidding, and then dropped the wooden hammer with a smile. Haitang took the jade bracelet to Mrs. Hou of Dongyang, and held the tray above her head on her half-kneeling.
Mrs. Hou of Dongyang quietly picked up the bracelet and put it on her hand.
The crowd applauded.
With such a warm start, the next auction went very smoothly, although the bidding price did not exceed 1,000 taels of silver, and there were not many things, and a little total could be calculated to raise nearly 5,000 taels of silver.
"This is the county lord's golden hairpin."
Mother Xu knows what it means to live in a strange car, and she knows the significance of selling the county lord's lotus branch gold hairpin at a high price.
That's the face of the county lord!
The golden hairpin was donated from Yan Shiyi's hand, although Xu's mother reported the name of the county lord, Zhao Changye was not easy to bid. She turned her head sideways to remind Yan Shiyi to bid.
Yan Shiyi stood up and bowed deeply, and thanked the county lord for his favor with a slight smile.
At this moment, the county lord rewarded her with respect.
She knew that the golden hairpin was not pure gold, although she didn't know the specific price, but how could the county lord's things not be valuable. If the price is low, it is equivalent to sweeping the face of the county lord. But when it was time to quote high, no one bid, so it was smashed in her hands.
Now I can only bet on the position of the county lord in everyone's hearts......
"Ten taels of silver."
The little maid inadvertently mentioned that the nobles in the capital had ten taels of silver per month, which they couldn't save for several years as handmaids.
"No need to stand."
Zhao Changye waved his hand. I know in my heart that her golden hairpin is only worth one or two silver, and I don't know if Yan Shiyi's offer will be self-defeating. If no one bids, you have to quietly ask Peony to give Yan Shiyi silver money and auction the golden hairpin back.
A hundred dense and sparse, and there are branches. Thinking of being so troublesome, her dissatisfaction with Begonia was a little more.
"Fifteen taels of silver."
The county lord's face is to be given, and the scholar's wife quoted, and nodded deliberately at Zhao Changye. A smile spread out on Zhao Changye's lips, and his tense body was obviously softer.
The auction is not about the value of the object, but about the status and face.
"Twenty taels of silver."
King Jiangxia's sister Xue Chengjun stretched out two fingers to Mother Xu, revealing two pear vortices on her round face.
"Thirty taels of silver."
Just now, I was hesitant to snap a photo with the lady of the scholar, so I don't have to worry about offending the elders.
Jing Can stretched out three fingers and smiled faintly at Mother Xu.
Mother Xu thought she had made a mistake, and turned her face to look at Mrs. Hou of Dongyang. Mrs. Tai was also strange, her little grandson just threw a piece of broken gold directly into the tray of peonies, which meant to donate money directly and not participate in the auction. How did you fight with a woman for a golden hairpin?
"Fifty taels of silver!"
Xiao Xianwang stretched out his white palm, and his five fingers were divided into a puff fan. Xiao Qian reacted suddenly, and it was too late to reach out and pull him.
