Chapter 264: Shangyang Mansion, Looking for Wu Zhao!
According to Lu Heng's instructions, His Majesty Li Er specially set the auction in the evening, which is said to be because it has a more atmosphere.
Night.
A restaurant in the West Market is crowded with people!
Tonight, not only did the dignitaries and dignitaries come like a cow's hair, but the ordinary people who usually only need to abide by the curfew during the New Year's holidays also ran out to see the excitement.
Everyone wants to see what kind of wine they need to sell in order to be so popular!
The second floor of the restaurant.
Li Shimin and Empress Changsun were already seated, and Li Chengqian and Li Tai were still sitting beside them.
That is, the two of them are old enough and favored, so they can come here together.
His Majesty Li Er turned around and asked casually:
"Gao Ming, Qingque, what price do you two think this wine can sell for tonight?"
Both were stunned by the question.
Especially Li Tai!
Li Tai didn't know the inside story of today's incident, except for being able to sit in the so-called VIP seat on the second floor with his father, he knew as much as the onlookers outside.
After hesitating for a moment, Li Tai hesitated:
"One...... One thousand taels? β
He felt like he had guessed boldly.
The wine in this restaurant is already so expensive that it scares people to death. It's not that he can't afford a hundred taels of wine, but the question is, what's so good about it?
Isn't it just a little fragrant, a little mellow, and a little stronger?
Li Tai will never admit that he is souring Lu Heng.
After hearing this number, Li Chengqian on the side laughed.
"Qingque, you are too conservative!"
Li Chengqian pointed to the crowd sitting on the first floor and said:
"There are at least dozens of people from dozens of families here, and there are hundreds of them in total, don't you see that they can't squeeze in?"
"Originally, this wine could be sold for a bottle of one hundred taels of silver."
"Now that so many people are robbing, no matter how bad it is, it has to go up this number!"
He held out his finger and made a two-to-two.
It means two thousand taels of silver.
Li Tai simply scoffed!
He shook his head and said:
"Big brother, a bottle of wine sells for two thousand taels of silver, which is also outrageous."
"Could this wine be made of gold!"
Li Shimin quietly listened to the two of them being weird to each other, didn't say anything, just glanced at Empress Changsun.
The latter smiled slightly, indicating that everything had been arranged and there would be no problems.
His Majesty Li Er's expression relaxed a little at this time.
He coughed and said:
"Okay, okay, it's useless to argue now!"
"When the auction results are out later, it's not too late for you to fight again!"
ζζ.
This is the time that Lu Heng has explained.
Twenty-four hours, that's seven o'clock in the evening.
It's time for the auction!
The hour has come.
On the temporarily erected platform on the first floor, Cheng Chumo slowly walked up.
He saluted his subordinates with a fist before speaking.
"Thank you for your love, long wait, long wait!"
"I guess you've been waiting a little anxious, right?"
"No way, that bottle of wine is so special, even I can't help but hold it and look at it for a while."
As the eldest son of the Duke of Lu's Mansion, the people below are either rich or noble, so of course they recognize him.
So everyone just laughed, thinking that Cheng Chumo was deliberately touting before the auction started, so as to raise the price.
Seeing this, Cheng Chu waved his hand silently:
"Don't think I'm talking nonsense, when the wine is brought up, you're probably not much better than me!"
At this time, there are already sons and buddies who are familiar with him below who are beginning to coax.
"Brother Chu Mo, I'm afraid you didn't secretly drink the wine, and now you're trying to find a way to round the field, right?"
"Yes, Brother Mo! If we don't start again, we will have to report to the restaurant for the official! β
"What kind of official is this, Your Majesty is watching from above!"
ββ¦β¦β
For a while, laughter erupted.
On weekdays, they would never dare to behave like this in front of His Majesty Li Er.
But today is different, His Majesty specially asked people to hang a notice at the door, saying that whether it is the dignitaries inside or the ordinary people outside, there are no rules today, you can say whatever you want, and you will not be held responsible.
Isn't this a hornet's nest!
Most of the people who came were young men with their fathers, and it was the time to escape, how could they let go of such a good opportunity!
Laughing.
Cheng Chumo on the stage raised his hand and pressed it down, signaling everyone to listen to him quietly.
"Alright, everybody!"
"I won't talk too much nonsense with you, today's bottle of wine is the main event!"
"Come on, come on, wait until you're done, I'll see if you're still surprised!"
As he spoke, he looked to the second floor and signaled that the opening was over.
Sitting on the second floor, in addition to Li Shimin's family, there was also a group of Guogong, but they did not sit in the center.
Where he made his eyes, it was Cheng Yanjin who was sitting!
Cheng bit Jin and bowed slightly, indicating that he could start.
Cheng Chumo, who received the signal, looked at His Majesty Li Er again, and the latter also nodded.
He waved his hand and pointed to the side of the stageβ
"Someone, bring the wine from today's auction!"
A group of beautiful women came, and one of them held a beautiful wooden tray in his hand.
As soon as the beauty came on stage, everyone's eyes straightened.
There are countless women of such status and status, except for some romantic ghosts, no one will have a crooked mind about the maidservants on this occasion when His Majesty is here.
made the eyes of this group of dignitaries and nobles and powerful families straight......
It was the handmaid holding in her hand, the bottle of wine!
No, no, no.
This shouldn't be called wine.
It's a work of art!
After a dead silence, whispers gradually rang out.
"It's beautiful...... So nice bottle. β
"Such a perfect and clean glass pot was used to hold wine...... It's a terrible thing! β
"Oh my God, I know why it's so grand today!"
"Will His Majesty want to rob this wine?"
"Even if His Majesty wants to rob it, the old man won't let it!"
ββ¦β¦β
This time, it was not the young men who spoke, but their father, who was sitting precariously.
They are all people with knowledge and city.
They naturally know what the value of this bottle is.
It's in that bottle!
Cheng Chumo smiled and admired their shocked appearances, and waited for a long time.
When the frenzy on everyone's faces became more and more intense.
He spoke slowly.
"Ladies and gentlemen, do you still need to introduce this bottle of wine to you?"
Someone immediately shouted from the ground:
"How much does this wine cost? A thousand taels, two thousand taels, or a few thousand taels? β
"Don't introduce it, sell it quickly!"
"This wine, my Wang family is bound to get!"
