Chapter 109: West Market Encounter
For this auction, Zhao Yu is still very confident.
Sure enough, the silence lasted only a few moments, and then the first person raised the number plate in his hand.
"Okay, the 356th guest bid 110,000 yuan! Are there any higher bids? ”
Zou Wanqing's voice echoed throughout the Chu Yu Tower.
"For the first time, was there a higher bid? The concubine once again reminded you that if you don't make a higher bid even after asking three times, then this guest No. 356 will auction the title deed of the Taihe Royal Mansion at a price of 110,000 yuan and become the new owner of this huge palace covering an area of 255 acres. ”
"The second time I asked, did you have any bids...... Ah, the No. 246 guest raised his card, and the No. 26 guest quoted 120,000 yuan this time, is there anything higher? ”
"120,000 for the first time...... Ah, the first, fifth and sixth guests quoted 130,000! ”
"Three hundred and fifty thousand!"
As soon as Zou Wanqing's voice fell, in the box on the second floor, someone suddenly raised a sign and shouted.
"Which eldest brother is on the second floor, he is so arrogant, the concubine is really admired!"
Hearing that someone suddenly quoted a high price, whether it was Zou Wanqing or Liu Xuewei, they were surprised and happy in their hearts.
According to the promise of the Lord of the Hobalt Pavilion, even if the Taihe Royal Mansion is auctioned off at this price, even if the two of them share the commission of one hundredth, there will be at least two thousand taels of silver in their hands.
According to the estimation of several pawn shops in Shenjing City before the auction, this Taihe palace is about 500,000 taels.
However, the hot scene of the next auction completely surprised the second daughter.
"Four hundred thousand!" Someone on the third floor shouted at the top of his voice.
"Five hundred thousand!"
The one who spoke up on the second floor decisively raised the price.
"Seven hundred thousand!" Again there was a shout.
"Eight hundred thousand!"
"Eight hundred and fifty thousand!"
There are people shouting prices one after another, and some people are raising prices one after another.
It was only a few breaths of effort, and this Taihe Royal Mansion was in this almost fanatical atmosphere, and the price was increased to one hundred and fifty thousand, and people gradually calmed down.
"One hundred and fifty thousand for the first time, is there any price increase? This is the prince's mansion, even if an auction is held in this Shenjing City in the future, it will be difficult for such a lot to appear, and it is not an exaggeration to say that this is the only set. Okay, No. 463 family raises a card, one hundred and sixty thousand! ”
When she said this number, Zou Wanqing only felt that her heart was "thumping".
Although only a small amount of this money fell into his hands in the end, this money came too quickly......
It made her feel unreal.
"One hundred and sixty thousand for the first time, is there anyone else who wants to offer?"
"One hundred and sixty thousand for the second time, everyone, if you don't quote again, it's too late to regret it!"
"One hundred and sixty thousand for the third time!"
At the same time as Zou Wanqing's voice fell, Liu Xuewei also struck the copper chime in her hand with a wooden mallet almost at the same time.
"Congratulations to the No. 463 guests for successfully auctioning the first lot of this auction, Taihe Wangfu! After the auction, please come to the backstage with the staff to hand over the relevant procedures. ”
In the box.
Zhao Yu, who was watching this scene, nodded silently.
Almost at a premium of 100% to auction this Taihe Palace, it seems that the number of rich people in this Dachu is still beyond their expectations, if there is a chance in the future, this auction can be held from time to time, it will be regarded as cutting leeks.
"Tsk, more than a million taels, just to buy this palace. The slave family still looks down on the rich people in this world. ”
Yin Wanwan looked at the auction that had not diminished in the slightest, and stuck out her tongue in surprise.
It's not that she has little knowledge, but it's that this million taels of silver is spent so unhesitatingly, just for such a palace, is it worth it?
Yin Wanwan didn't understand it.
"Wan'er, do you know what is the most painful thing in the world?"
Facing Zhao Yu's question, Yin Wanwan blinked, and her big watery eyes were full of question marks.
Zhao Yu laughed and said, "It's the person who died, and this money hasn't been spent yet." ”
After the two girls reacted, they immediately leaned back and laughed.
At this moment, the second lot, a set of six jade tea cups, was served.
"Ladies and gentlemen, what is in this tray is the second lot of today, a set of six jade tea cups, which is a thing of the former Han Dynasty and has a history of more than 300 years. The starting price is 5,000 yuan, and the price increase is not less than 1,000 yuan each time. ”
Liu Xuewei said loudly.
As soon as Liu Xuewei's words fell, the entire Chu Yulou resounded one after another with the sound of price increases.
"Six thousand kans!"
"Eight thousand!"
"Nine thousand!"
At the same time that everyone was raising the price, in the box here, the two pairs of beautiful eyes of Yin Wanwan and Bai Qing'er looked at Zhao Yu.
"If you two want to get involved, you can. However, this son's side will give you sisters a maximum of 50,000 taels of silver per person, and if it exceeds 50,000 taels, you can only make up for it yourself. Also, Ben Gongzi reminded again that if the bid is auctioned but there is not enough money, then the pavilion master can only come here to redeem her two precious apprentices. ”
"The slave family knows that the son is the best."
Hearing that Zhao Yu allowed them to participate in it, Yin Wanwan and Bai Qing'er hurriedly gave Zhao Yu a sweet smile.
"One in one!"
Bai Qing'er happily raised the number plate in her hand and called out a price.
However, her offer was soon overtaken by others.
"Ten thousand twelve!"
"Twelve thousand three hundred!"
"Ten thousand!"
Soon, the price of this set of jade tea cups climbed to 20,000 yuan, and there were still three or four people in the box who were constantly shouting and competing.
In the box where Zhao Yu was, the two girls still kept their senses, and when the price reached 12,000, they wisely chose to give up the price.
In the end, this set of jade tea cups was sold at a price of 25,400 yuan, which can be said to be almost three times the premium.
The auction continued, and one by one the lots were brought up and sold at astonishing prices, and none of them went unauctioned.
Yin Wanwan and Bai Qing'er also took a small trinket, and they were very happy.
It can't be helped, it's a wonderful feeling to snatch something from someone else's hands.
"Alright, it's time for us to go."
Seeing that today's auction was gradually coming to an end, Zhao Yu spoke up.
Although the two girls were reluctant, they knew that Zhao Yu didn't want to be recognized by others after the auction, so they left the venue in advance and nodded obediently.
After handing over the money backstage at the auction and getting the lot, the three of them walked out of Chu Yulou.
Looking at the pedestrians on the street who were much sparser than when they came, Bai Qing'er thought to herself that she and her senior sister had finally begged His Majesty to take them out of the palace once, but they couldn't just go back like this.
After thinking about it, she said coquettishly: "Childe, when you came to this Shenjing City, you must not have been to the West Market." Otherwise, our sisters will accompany their son to visit the night view of the West Market, and then go back to the house, do you think it's okay? ”
Hearing Bai Qing'er say this, Zhao Yu laughed secretly in his heart.
Obviously, she didn't want to return to the palace so early, but she moved out of her own name and under the banner of her own good......
Anyway, since they entered the palace wall, it was difficult for them to come out to play, and I fulfilled their wishes.
Thinking of this, Zhao Yu nodded and agreed.
Soon, the three of them came to Shenjing West City.
Shenjing West City holds a temple fair on the first and fifteenth days of each month, and the liveliness is the highest in the south of the Yangtze River.
The West Market is one of the largest trade markets in Shenjing, and the temple fairs of four days twice a month attract countless people.
No matter which line of the three hundred and sixty lines you are, which faction of the three sects and nine streams you are, no matter what your status, you can freely enter and exit the West Market.
This kind of measure not only attracted the patronage of the common people of Shenjing City, but also attracted countless merchants from all over the south, east and west, which can be described as extremely lively.
"It's so lively!"
Looking at the West Market, which was late at night, but was still crowded and bustling, whether it was Yin Wanwan or Bai Qing'er, they couldn't help but let out an exclamation.
The entire West Market is divided into several areas, and the trading venues and types are also divided.
There are those who sell exotic beasts and pets, those who sell antiques, calligraphy and paintings, those who sell candy and food, and those who sell silk and satin.
Yin Wanwan and Bai Qing'er were affected by this lively atmosphere, took off their usual disguises, revealed the coquettishness and innocence of a girl of their age, and pulled Zhao Yudong to walk around.
Zhao Yu also let the two girls pull like this with a smile on his face.
When the two women saw a fun or beautiful trinket, they had to stop and watch for a while, and then they began to bargain with the stall owner, and if they met something they wanted, they would not hesitate to buy it.
Zhao Yu didn't have much interest in these gadgets, but looking at the bustling crowd in this bazaar, he was still sincerely happy in his heart.
"Childe, do you want to buy some Miao Jiang trinkets for your female companion? This silver crown is very compatible with them~"
The silver bell was crisp and pleasant, but with a hint of playful words interrupted Zhao Yu's thoughts, Zhao Yu followed the sound and looked, only to see a girl in Miao costume looking at him with a light smile on the stall not far away.
At this moment, Yingying's light fell on the girl, which brought out her delicate and lovely even more.
A unique Miao dress, a black hair and cicada sideburns decorated with silver ornaments, bright eyes and bright teeth, which is unforgettable at first sight.
Zhao Yu's heart moved, walked to the stall, and took a closer look.
"Want to see this silver bracelet? This is made by the slave family itself, and the son can give it to his sweetheart. ”
Seeing someone approaching, the girl smiled brightly, carefully picked up the silver jewelry with her hand, and introduced it to Zhao Yu.
"Miss, it's a skillful craft."
Zhao Yu nodded and shouted to the two girls not far away:
"Qing'er, Wan'er, come and have a look."
When the two girls heard Zhao Yu's call, they hurriedly walked over, and when they saw the Miao girl in the stall, they couldn't help but be surprised.
"Ah, what a beautiful little girl!"
The girl smiled shyly and said:
"The two sisters laughed, compared with Yun Ying and the two sisters, the two sisters are the wild geese flying in the sky, and the little sister is just a duckling swimming in the water."
"My sister said this too politely."
As soon as these words came out, the two girls had a good impression of this slightly delicate Miao girl who called herself "Yunying".
"A person like my sister is one of the few in the entire Shenjing City. Childe, don't you say? ”
Seeing that Bai Qing'er intentionally or unintentionally led the war to herself, Zhao Yu glared at her helplessly and said:
"I think this Miao Jiang's silver jewelry is quite good, and I thought that I would buy a few for the two of you to take home."
"Uh-huh."
Yun Ying nodded again and again on the side, and added: "The slave family said to this son, our Miao Jiang's silver jewelry is usually given to his sweetheart. Childe not only did not object, but called the two sisters here. ”
When Yin Wanwan and Bai Qing'er heard Yun Ying's words, they were ashamed and happy in their hearts, and after glancing at Zhao Yu, they happily picked up their favorite silver jewelry in Yun Ying's stall.
This girl can speak, and even these two demon girls were coaxed into laughing.
Looking at the three daughters' chattering, Zhao Yu was quite amused in his heart.
Not long after, Yin Wanwan and Bai Qing'er selected dozens of ornaments in this Yun Ying's stall, and finally left a hundred taels of silver, so that Yun Ying didn't have to make change, saying that it was a meeting gift for the newly met little sister.
After Yun Ying thanked the three of them again and again, she hesitated for a moment and said:
"Brother Childe, two sisters, the three of you are from a rich family in Shenjing at first glance. I wonder if I can do Yunying a small favor? Well, it's just a small help! ”
As he spoke, he was afraid that the three of them would not believe it, so he stretched out his right thumb and index finger and made a gesture.
"Childe!"
When Yin Wanwan and Bai Qing'er heard this, they looked at Zhao Yu at the same time.
You two can really make trouble for me!
Zhao Yu quietly glared at the second daughter, coughed lightly, and said, "Girl, but please come on, Guan doesn't look at the face of the monk and looks at the face of the Buddha, just do his best." ”
At this moment, there was a sudden commotion in the West Market, it turned out that the last performance of the juggling team was about to start tonight, and everyone rushed to the location of the performance.
"Oops, it's so noisy here!"
Yun Ying frowned and couldn't help but complain.
Yin Wanwan proposed, "Sister Yunying, why don't we find a secluded place and talk slowly?" ”
Faced with this proposal, Yun Ying showed hesitation.
"Thank you sister for your kindness, but this is the silver jewelry that Yun Ying and the little sisters have been making for a few months, and they are thinking about selling a few more pieces at this time......
She thought about it, Fang bit her lip and said:
"Well, if you don't bother Yun Ying, Guan Gongzi might as well leave an address, and when Yun Ying sells these jewelry, he will write to you and explain the truth of the matter to you and your two sisters."
Zhao Yu hesitated for a moment, nodded and said:
"Well, there are so many people nowadays, it's really not the time to speak."
After that, Zhao Yu borrowed a pen and paper from the stall next door, wrote down his address, and handed it to Yun Ying.
"Then our sisters are waiting for Sister Yunying's letter. To tell you the truth, my son-in-law has a very strict family education, and he can't come out on weekdays, but today our sisters begged their son-in-law for a long time, so they agreed to take us out secretly. ”
After Yin Wanwan finished speaking, Bai Qing'er on the side added:
"However, my son-in-law is a warm-hearted and good person, my lord is in this Shenjing City, and the three sects and nine streams can still say something, Yunying's sister is really in trouble, tell me in the letter that my son-in-law is, if it can be solved, it will definitely help my sister solve it." Childe, is what the slave said right? ”
Zhao Yu rolled his eyes speechlessly.
The good things are all said for the two of you, what else do you want this son to say?
When Dangdang, the first plot concubine of Dicheng 2 is ready to appear ^_^
