Chapter 411: Losing Doesn't Lose Battle
Li Junxian whispered a few words in the middle of the court, Xiao Rui went upstairs with the shopkeeper, and after a while, the door of Tianzi No. 1 opened, and Li Junxian led two people dressed as Confucian scholars in.
Xiao Rui had already made tea, got up and greeted him with a smile.
"I knew you were coming."
Li Er swaggered to the tea table and sat down on the main seat, "You kid has eyes." ”
The waiters Lao Wang and Li Junxian sat down on the small stool at the door, not daring to disturb the two Weng and his son-in-law drinking tea.
"Don't look at me like that, wait until I get my hands, I just need to take a look, and you can send the manuscript to the palace when you turn around." I'm not greedy for your boy's stuff. ”
Xiao Rui couldn't help but smile and said, "Father-in-law, how can you be sure that I will definitely be able to bid for it?" ”
Li Er scolded with a smile: "Quan Chang'an, who has you kid and rich?" ”
I? Rich?
Aren't you sorry to say that?
"People in Chang'an say that I have money, but I really have money or not, you know best. All my chambers of commerce and industry, eighty percent of the proceeds are secretly given to the treasury......" Xiao Rui exclaimed.
Li Er raised his eyebrows, "What?" Listen to this, you kid is reluctant? ”
Xiao Rui hurriedly changed the topic, "Or, when I bid today, I don't have enough money, can you help support me?" ”
Li Er picked up the teacup and stopped talking, but turned his head to look at the center of the auction hall.
This auction hall is an octagonal shape, with a high platform in the middle, surrounded by four-story buildings, each floor has many rooms, and the room is facing the auction platform is a large floor-to-ceiling window, next to the window is a number plate, there are small drums, maids are responsible for bidding.
However, in Xiao Rui's room, the maid had already been invited out, and there was no need for anyone to serve her. Li Er came, and Xiao Rui personally served.
And letting the maid beat the drum and raise a sign to bid is for confidentiality, but does Xiao Rui need to keep it secret? He has always been a high-profile person, just shout it yourself, tell you, I Xiao Rui wants it, which of you dares to retaliate?
"Childe, Wang Jishan's kid is here." Li Junxian reminded.
Wang Jishan?
Li Er was puzzled: "Then you are very concerned about this kid?" ”
Xiao Rui smiled: "This kid has been making a lot of bad tricks on me recently, and I am here today, it is impossible for him not to come." ”
Li Er couldn't help but laugh and said, "You kid can't slip your hands, who can still pit you?" ”
Xiao Rui said disdainfully: "It's just that I'm too lazy to bully him, otherwise he wouldn't have survived the original case." ”
"Childe, the Kong sacrifice wine has also arrived. I heard that they formed a five-family alliance and combined their financial resources to take down the "Shangshu". Li Junxian reminded again.
Xiao Rui shrugged his shoulders and said, "The five alliances should be very rich." Don't let Wang Jishan's kid pit again. ”
As he was talking, the No. 1 room of Tianzi was pushed open and broke in, and the auction shopkeeper followed anxiously behind.
"Lord Wang, Lord Wang, Lord Hou is already inside, you can't break in......"
"Why can he Xiao Rui sit on the number one in the sky, and this king is not worthy of it...... Well? Are you ......" Li Daozong's face was full of indignation, but he turned his head and looked, good guy, who is the person sitting opposite Xiao Rui?
Seeing that he was about to break the emperor's name, Xiao Rui hurriedly stood up, greeted him and said with a smile: "Yo, it's Uncle Daozong, come on, come on, sit down." ”
"Shopkeeper, this is our own family, just sit in a room, you can go and get busy."
The shopkeeper stepped back and closed the door.
Li Daozong hurriedly saluted, "Your Majesty ......"
Li Er put down the teacup and said dissatisfiedly: "Chengfan, menacing, do you still want to find trouble with Zang Feng?" ”
Li Daozong waved his hand awkwardly and said, "Misunderstanding, it's all a misunderstanding." ”
Xiao Ruixin said, misunderstanding? But there are not so many misunderstandings. I wanted to tell you where my son was, but now......
"Uncle Huang, are you also here to bid for "Shangshu"? If you take a fancy to it, Xiao Rui will not fight. ”
Li Daozong hurriedly said: "No, I just stopped by and came here to join in the fun, and I am not interested in the auction." ”
Whether it was true or not, Xiao Rui didn't care, so the two of them drank tea and the three of them drank tea.
After a while, a gong sounded, and everyone's eyes were drawn to the central auction table.
A middle-aged elegant man walked up to the auction table with a smile, saluted to the four directions, and shouted loudly: "Everyone, in Xia Xu Zhongtian, today I will preside over the auction, thank you for coming to our Chang'an auction house in your busy schedule......"
The waiter Lao Wang introduced: "This Xu Zhongtian is a character, and half of the fact that the Chang'an Auction House has been able to prosper for many years is due to this person." This person is exquisite, not only is he skilled, but also has a very good grasp of the timing of the auction. ”
Oh?
Li Er and Xiao Rui looked at Xu Zhongtian at the same time.
Li Er nodded and praised: "It does have a demeanor." ”
Xiao Rui commented: "If a person can refuse even a high-ranking official, it can only mean one thing, there is a greater temptation around him." ”
"Hehe, everyone has their own ambitions, maybe he can give full play to his talents in the auction house." Li Er doesn't care too much, there is no shortage of talents around him now.
A gong sounded, and Xu Zhongtian shouted: "Today's first lot is a luminous cup from the Western Regions, which glows at night, and pours grape wine, which shines like a burgundy candlelight, which is moving." ”
Wow......
Many people at the scene let out exclamations.
Of course, there are also people who are very disdainful, just a utensil, a plaything, what's the use?
Xu Zhongtian continued: "Of course, although this item is priceless, since it appears in the auction house, it naturally has a specific estimate, the starting price is three hundred taels of silver, and the price increase is not less than one hundred taels each time!" Wine lovers should not miss out. ”
Gee...... A wine glass costs three hundred taels? Ten taels of silver is enough for a family of three for a year's expenses, and this auction house is really a gold cave.
Xiao Rui involuntarily groaned: "Grape wine glow-in-the-dark cup, if you want to drink the pipa, urge immediately, drunk and lying on the battlefield, don't smile, a few people will come back to fight in ancient times!" ”
Li Er stroked his palms and praised: "Good poetry!" Jun Xian, beat the drum and offer, three hundred taels I wanted. With this poem, this luminous cup is also worth three hundred taels. ”
Li Junxian walked to the window and struck the gong.
"Your Majesty, I'm afraid I won't be able to get three hundred taels."
"It's okay, whoever dares to compete can increase the price, I am a person who loves wine, and it is bound to win."
Xiao Rui laughed and said, "It seems that I am going to make more grape wine for you." ”
Wang Jishan's side, when he heard that Xiao Rui was going to shoot the luminous cup, he smiled and motioned to the maid to beat the drum and raise the card, "Increase the price, five hundred taels!" ”
Yes? Five hundred taels? A price increase of two hundred taels? The maid didn't dare to confirm it, so she asked again before beating the drum and quoting.
Li Er waved his hand, "Plus, one thousand taels!" ”
Xu Zhongtian hurriedly set off the atmosphere, "The guest in the No. 1 room of Tianzi bid a thousand taels, it seems that he is a wine lover, a thousand taels, is there a higher bid?" ”
Xiao Rui said: "Fifth brother, tell him that the number one of the Son of Heaven is my Xiao Rui, and see who else dares to rob me." Don't let your father-in-law spend more money to be the wrongdoer, it's just a glow-in-the-dark cup, and I'll let the Western Regions Chamber of Commerce buy a batch back. ”
Li Junxian shouted with a smile: "This luminous cup, the champion Hou has taken a fancy to it, everyone give face!" ”
Well? Champion Hou? As soon as this remark came out, many people were instantly stunned, Xu Zhongtian smiled bitterly in his heart, there is no such unruly, openly revealing his identity, it is clear that he is suppressing people with power, if so, then today's auction will not have too high a price.
Alas, that's it, people are champions, we can't afford to mess with them!
"One thousand one hundred taels, I'm sorry Hou Ye, I am also a lover of wine." Wang Jishan's entourage beat the drum and shouted.
Well? Who, this audacity to compete with the champion Hou?
Li Daozong put the teacup in his hand to the table, "One thousand five hundred taels." Jun Xian, beat the drum, lose people and don't lose the battle, I will pay this money for Your Majesty. ”
