The crown prince brought dozens of boiled eggs back to the palace to honor his father and queen mother.

Xia Hongdi was lying on the floor, teasing the little prince of two months, and from time to time he stuffed a braised egg into his mouth.

Hearing that someone asked for the Zhongqin Bofu and rushed to donate food to compete for the quota for the imperial examination, he was proud and happily agreed.

The prince said, "Father, I heard that the house in Dongcheng is almost completed, can you go and have a look? Just listen to what they say."

Queen Gao was also interested, looking at Xia Hongdi, Xia Hongdi was speechless.

This queen really likes to run out of the palace, it must be Mrs. Zhongqinbo, a jealous woman, who is bad!

For the sake of the queen giving birth to a good son for me, I will take her out for a walk, hey, the palace is really boring.

In mid-autumn, a cloudy day was chosen, and all the eastern city was under martial law.

Xia Hongdi took Empress Gao, the crown prince, Princess Jingyao, and Zhongqinbo's family to accept the mansion in Dongcheng.

The shops across the river bank from the concrete road have glazed windows in front and back, and linen cloth, which is said to be curtains, hangs from the front and back.

A group of people, chose a shop to be a restaurant and went up to the second floor, on the side of the Yangliu River, sitting by the window, looking down to see the flowers and trees in the small courtyard downstairs, and overlooking the green willows and clear river water on the Yangliu River embankment.

For the bread room, outside the window is a row of golden laurel trees, and the aroma is intoxicating.

"It smells so good!"

"Your Majesty, the minister has transplanted more than 500 osmanthus trees, and this fragrance may fill the entire Dongcheng."

"In the winter, this tree will freeze to death, right?"

"It shouldn't be a problem to tie straw to the trunk of the tree and prepare it to keep warm."

"There is such a large area of osmanthus trees, and this realm is not worried about selling!"

"Hehe, then this will be handed over to Your Majesty, and the minister is only responsible for supervising the completion of this project!"

"The street shop is good, come to this restaurant to eat, just with this view, I am willing to come! Let's go into the house and have a look!"

Cuihua was also one step behind Queen Gao, chatting with her as she walked.

"Niangniang, the cloakroom made by Uncle Zhong Qinbo is interesting, you can take a look!"

"Okay, cloakroom? Clothes and hats are for them?"

"Well, clothes and jewelry are fine, for the hostess, so that she can store her clothes."

entered the courtyard and divided into two groups, Heiwa took Xia Hongdi and the prince and others to the study in the front yard, and Cuihua took the queen and Princess Jingyao to the hostess's bedroom in the backyard.

The first time she entered a stranger's bedroom, Queen Gao felt weird.

Cuihua smiled and said, "You just think this is a sample, buy something and put it on the countertop to make a look."

Thinking about it this way, this is indeed the truth.

"Wow, Queen Mother, this ground is so clean! Is this a tile? There's a peony flower on it!"

"This tile floor does look clean, good! The colors are not bad!"

Cuihua's focus was to take a look at this ancient cloakroom, and after looking for a while, she finally saw a single door next to the master room.

Push it in, and your eyes are full of amazement.

This small room with about 20 square meters uses a U-shaped layout, dividing the storage area and dressing area, and the wall by the door is a retro nine-square grid shape.

Outside the nine-square grid are several glass doors that can be opened, and the jewelry box can be put into the lattice, which is convenient to take and place at any time.

On the left and right walls are wardrobes made of rosewood, and inside the wardrobe, there are both crossbars to hang dresses and large drawers to stack clothes.

In the center of the cloakroom, an elevated candlestick is placed to break the bland atmosphere and play an embellishment role.

The dressing area was placed in front of a large glazed window opposite the door, with a bronze mirror and a dressing table, as well as two chairs covered with cushions and backrests.

On the dressing table, there is also a blue and white porcelain plum vase, which can be filled with flowers at any time.

Imagine, if the hostess of this room gets up late, when the sky is bright, she opens the curtains of the large glazed window, and the sunlight spills into the cloakroom, and sits on the chairs, the maids

Help him slowly groom up, what a beautiful word.

Queen Gao and Cuihua quietly admired it for a while, and the first cloakroom in this summer all said: I want to!

In the front yard, Xia Hongdi looked at the big window of the study and said hatefully, "My study is not so luxurious!"

Heiwa was speechless: "Your Majesty, the wool comes from the sheep, and the mansion configuration can't be too cheap."

"Hmph, this big mansion, if you don't sell it for 50,000 taels of silver, I can't spare Old Man Wei!"

"Actually, these four mansions, Your Majesty, you can auction them, the one with the highest price will get it, a few days before the auction, take a mansion as a sample, and let people visit it before auctioning!"

"There is also this shop, you can rent it, you can sell it, the location here is so good, it won't be cheap!"

"What about the other two hundred? This house is not bad either! Smelling the fragrance of osmanthus flowers, you can go to the restaurant and buy things not far away, how convenient it is!"

"Or, you can also pick some good locations and take a picture, anyway, this is a commercial house, commodities, just for buying and selling, just to make money."

"You should call Wei Shangshu to listen, all day long, there will be things that will not be sold!"

I felt that I had spent a lot of money in the past few months, and I was able to get it in, so Xia Hongdi's mood improved.

"Brother Jin, have you heard? What kind of auction is going to be held in Duobao Pavilion!"

"What is an auction? How to shoot? What are you selling?"

"I know, I know, auction is bidding, whoever has more silver will sell it to!"

"This auction, it is said to be the mansion in Dongcheng, no, it is finally completed."

"This house, I don't know how much silver it has to take, the boss has a piece of land, and only 300 households have been built!"

"Anyway, it's not for us ordinary people!"

"This yard is a bit of a family, you can ponder it, it is estimated that the people who buy that piece are rich and noble, and they are neighbors with rich and noble people, do you think this is beautiful?"

"Let's go to the Duobao Pavilion and join in the fun."

The Maitreya Buddha shopkeeper of the Duobao Pavilion explained to the guests who went in that before the auction, they organized a house viewing, but the house viewing required tickets, five taels of silver per person, for three days.

"This Duobao Pavilion is too good at doing business, and it costs a ticket to see a house!"

"Hey, aren't people guarding against us just joining in the fun and spending no money? The rest are the rich ones!"

"High, this technique is not ordinary high!"

Just signing up to see the house, there are nearly 1,000 people in one day, it seems that Dongcheng has attracted the attention of many people for more than half a year.

After the second day began to look at the house, the legend about how domineering the house in Dongcheng was flew to all corners of the capital.

"It's worth it, it's worth it, this house, this decoration, it's too luxurious, the tiles and glass are all on the ground, ouch, that one is neat and bright!"

"These three mansions, I'm afraid they will be sold for a sky-high price, the palace may not be so well repaired, it's really, too extravagant!"

The real big family, quietly, after looking at the house, also wandered around, and walked around the environment of the East City.

I have to say that this osmanthus has added a lot of points to this environment, and this sweet and greasy fragrance is very good.

As soon as the three days passed, the auction of Duobao Pavilion began.

On the first day, the shops were sold, except for Queen Gao, who left one to open a hot pot restaurant, and Xia Hongdi left five for other purposes, and there were fifty two-story shops and thirty single-story shops left.

Single-layer, the reserve price is 1,000 taels of silver, and the price is increased by 50 taels at a time.

On the second floor, the reserve price is 2,000 taels of silver, and the price is increased by 100 taels at a time.

The fat shopkeeper, presiding over the overall situation, held a wooden hammer, stood in front of a table, bowed his hand to the guests who came to participate in the auction, and said with a smile: "Thank you for coming to participate in the first commercial housing and auction conference of Duobao Pavilion!

We have a total of 80 shops to auction today, and if you pay the auction amount within one day after the auction, you can handle the transfer of the deed.

With the sound of a wooden hammer from the fat shopkeeper, the first set of second-floor shops was put on the shelves.

"This shop, located in the best central area of Yangliuhe Street in Dongcheng, is divided into two floors, with eight private rooms upstairs and a hall downstairs, which can be used as a restaurant, with an excellent view from the window!

2,000 taels, you can't buy a loss, you can't be fooled, don't hesitate, fancy it, hurry up and raise the number plate in your hand!"

"Two thousand, one and two hundred!"

"Two thousand two hundred taels!"

"Three thousand taels!"

"Three thousand five hundred taels!"

"Five thousand taels!"

It may be that the people of Daxia are not very familiar with this form of auction, and they do not wait for the price to rise slowly, and automatically bring up the house prices one by one.

In the end, the first set of shops was sold for 20,000 taels of silver, and now the shops in the good area of the capital are expensive 70,000 or 80,000, and 20,000 taels is not high, and it is still within the acceptable range.

After the opening, the business immediately became lively, the two-story shop, the largest one, actually sold for 50,000 taels, and the smallest one-story shop also sold for 8,000 taels of silver.

After the auction ended, a total of 1.6 million taels of silver were sold!

And the entire Dongcheng, counting the cleaning of the Yangliu River and the reconstruction of the river embankment, all the project costs only three million taels of silver.

However, the house has not yet begun to sell!

On the second day, it was the main event, the courtyard that entered the courtyard, picked the lot and the largest area of the fifty, and the four ace three courtyards, auctioned together.

Many nobles and nobles sent people, and there were many merchants and officials, and when I looked at them, there were as many as four or five hundred people.

The fat shopkeeper smiled so much that his eyes couldn't see, and the first thing he took was when he entered the hospital.

"I believe that people who have seen the house have an impression of this No. 1 courtyard, this is the gateway to the east city, the green road is outside, and it is a quarter of an hour away from the children's paradise.

"Let's not talk nonsense, once we enter the courtyard, the reserve price is five thousand taels of silver, and the price is increased by five hundred taels at a time, start!"

"Five thousand five hundred taels!"

"Six thousand taels!"

"Seven thousand taels!"

"Eight thousand!"

"Ten thousand!"

In the end, the No. 1 quadrangle was sold for 23,000 taels.

In less than an hour, fifty sets of courtyard houses were sold out, with a minimum of no more than 20,000 taels of silver.

When it was the turn of the four three-entry mansions, the atmosphere suddenly became tense, and among them, there was one of the closest three-entry mansions to the academy that was particularly fiercely scrambled.

"One hundred thousand taels, if you don't add it, one hundred thousand taels at a time!"

"110,000!"

"110,000 once, 110,000 twice!"

"130,000!"

"The price increase on the fifth is 130,000 times!"

"One hundred and fifty thousand!"

In the end, the mansion was sold at a high price of 150,000 yuan, and the remaining three were not left out in the cold, and were sold at the prices of 120,000, 130,000, and 140,000.

The auction is over!

Total income: 1.7 million taels of silver.

Once you enter the courtyard, there are still 246 left, if you dare to release it, it is estimated that it will take less than three days, and it will be sold out!

Zhong Qinbo said to Wei Shangshu, "My lord, don't worry, wait until the surrounding houses are auctioned out, and the market price has risen, and then sell them slowly!" Anyway, the money is back."

Wei Shangshu nodded like pounding garlic, not in a hurry, not in a hurry, not only did the capital be recovered, but there was also a slight surplus.

The capital has its own public toilets and garbage cans, as well as cleaners who sweep the floor, but really, it is getting cleaner day by day, and he is willing to go out for a stroll from time to time.

What a win!
