Volume 2 Chang'an Flame Chapter 38 Auction
"I heard that the accents of the two sons are from out of town, right? What kind of girl are you looking for today? An old mother with a plump body and a big mole on the corner of her mouth stepped forward to greet with a smirk.
Yan Yunting said: "We are here to participate in the auction, do you understand? ”
The old mother immediately understood, and said in a low voice: "Our Baihualou has a total of three floors, this first floor, the main wine and food, your second floor is a guest room, and the third floor is a private room." It costs fifty taels of silver to open a table on the first floor, a hundred taels of silver to open a guest room on the second floor, and a private room on the third floor does not cost money, but it is necessary to inspect the property of the guest officers, so, hehehe......"
I just want to see if people are qualified?
Yan Yunting took off his burden and quietly opened a crack, revealing a golden ingot. The old mother's eyes widened, "Yo, distinguished guest, distinguished guest!" ”
"Lead the way." Yan Yunting said with a smile.
"It's just...... There is no elevator in the shop, and this boy is in a wheelchair. The old mother looked at Yuwen Changqing, who was unable to move, and was a little embarrassed.
Yuwen Changqing said: "It's okay, my wheelchair can climb the stairs by myself." With that, he pressed down the mechanism next to the armrest, and the wheelchair automatically got up without being pushed, and the two wheels were sharper than a person's legs and feet.
"Sure enough, it's a rich man, and I'm afraid it will cost a lot of money for such an organ." The old mother smiled and led the two to the third floor.
To put it bluntly, this floor is just a place to drink flower wine and listen to music, once the diners have drunk and are interested, they will take the girl to the second floor to spend the night. This private room on the third floor is dedicated to providing guests with "flower work".
The private room on the third floor is less noisy, more elegant and clean, and those who can sit in the private room are either rich or expensive eight or nine times out of ten.
The old mother led the two to a private room at the end of the third floor, pushed the door in, and found that it was a hall ten zhang long and ten zhang wide, and the hall was divided into eight or nine huts by a screen, and the room was covered by gauze bead curtains; In the center of the hall was a desk with a lantern on it, and there was no other lighting device;
There was only a small lamp in the divided hut, and through the reflection of the screen and the light, it was possible to see the number of people in the hut, and seven of the eight huts were occupied.
The old mother took Yan Yunting and Yuwen Changqing into the last cabin, and said: "Please wait, the private room is full, and the auction will start soon.
If the bid is made for the girl, the girl will come into the house, and you will have a chance to inspect the goods, and if you think the girl is okay, she will belong to you;
After the auction is over, there will be a special steward to bring someone to collect the silver, and after you have paid the money, you can take the girl away, or go downstairs to open a room, hehehe......"
After the old mother finished speaking, she came to the hut.
The cottage has a floppy, a small table with refreshments, wine, fruit, a number plate, and a small telescope.
"You say this human nature, why is it so evil? It's the same people, we sit on the soft slump and drink and have fun, but those women can only be put up for sale. Yan Yunting poured two glasses of wine, took one and handed it to Yuwen Changqing.
"A money society, it has always been like this." Yuwen Changqing drank it all.
"Knock knock!" At this moment, three gongs rang out from the center of the hall.
A tall and thin man in a brown robe walked out of the darkness with two burly men, and at a glance in Chad, wasn't he Wu Tianliang, who was arresting people at the dock this evening?
Wu Tianliang hung the gong on the shelf next to the desk, "cough cough...... he cleared his throat, raised his voice and said: "Ladies and gentlemen, this round of bidding is about to begin, and there are a total of eight competing products tonight, all of which are good goods from fourteen to eighteen years old...... Below, the auction begins, and above, the first competing item. ”
"Squeak squeak......" The two big men pushed out an iron cage from the darkness, and a girl about fifteen or sixteen years old was locked in the cage, with a beautiful nose, moon eyebrows, apricot eyes, cherry mouth, and a little red, and only a thin gauze coat on her body, and the girl's delicate posture loomed. She shivered against the cage, half from the cold, the other from panic.
"The starting price is fifty taels, and the price is the one who has it, and the guest officials you like are holding up their cards, right?" Wu Tianliang shouted.
"Sixty taels!"
"Eighty taels!"
"One hundred taels!"
The crowd fell silent and briefly stopped bidding.
"The guest officer in the third room asked for a hundred taels, is there any guest officer who is higher than him?" Wu Tianliang asked loudly.
How can a living girl be worth a hundred taels? Yan Yunting raised his sign and shouted, "Two hundred taels." ”
"Yo! The guest officer in the eighth room asked for two hundred taels! Is there anything higher? Wu Tianliang smiled on his face.
The girl who bought it for five taels of silver was sold for two hundred taels, which was a full forty times, no wonder they dared to do this kind of thing, it was simply a huge profit in a huge profit.
Xu was the first lot, and no one asked for the price anymore.
"Smack!" Wu Tianliang slapped the table, "This first lot was obtained by the guest officer in Room 8. ”
Then, the two big men opened the cage and escorted the girl to room eight, "Go in and serve your master well!" The big man pushed the girl into the room.
The girl stumbled and happened to fall into Yan Yunting's arms, she hurriedly stood up, containing tears, and apologized again and again: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry......"
Yan Yunting showed a gentle and kind smile, "Call us brother, and we will take you out of the sea of suffering." ”
The girl was frightened, frightened and happy, and shouted tremblingly: "Brother......"
"It's good, it's comfortable." Yan Yunting pointed at the soft collapse and said, "Little sister, you sit down, and you can eat the refreshments on the table." ”
"Really...... It's true? The girl swallowed.
Yuwen Changqing shook the feather fan and said with a smile: "Lying to you is a puppy." ”
Xu is the gentleness of the two "elder brothers", so that the girl put down the mustard, she grabbed a piece of mung bean cake and stuffed it into her mouth, and swallowed it in her stomach without chewing twice.
"Eat slowly, if it's not enough, let him go again." Yuwen Changqing poured a cup of tea for the girl, his eyes were full of tenderness and pity.
Yan Yunting scolded: "These beasts, they don't even give their children a full meal, it's really damned!" ”
"Boom!" The gong sounded again.
Dahan pushed the iron cage out again, this time the girl was younger, I am afraid that she was only thirteen or fourteen years old, but the second round of bidding was more fierce than the first, and the first one called for one hundred taels.
"One hundred and fifty taels!"
"Two hundred taels!"
"Three hundred taels!"
It can be seen how disgusting these guys are, and the younger the girl, the greater the interest.
"Five hundred taels!" Yan Yunting raised his card again, directly two hundred taels higher than the former.
"It seems that the guest officer in the eighth room is very romantic! Five hundred taels, is there any guest official bidding? Wu Tianliang asked loudly.
"Eight hundred taels!" Room 3 shouted.
"One thousand taels!" Yan Yunting shouted.
The audience was in an uproar, and there was no sound in Room 3.
"Smack!" Wu Tianliang's face was about to laugh, "The second lot, the guest officer in the eighth room won it again!" ”
Yan Yunting shouted through the screen: "He. . . Mother. Yes, you didn't give these girls anything to eat! Everyone is weak and powerless, where is there still the strength to serve Lao Tzu! Fast! Call Lao Tzu a table of wine and food! Chicken, duck and fish, all served! ”
After all, the big customer who paid the money, Wu Tianliang of course licked his smiling face and responded: "Okay, guest officer, you later, I will order someone to add food for you!" ”
