Chapter 131: Crazy Elixir
The fifteenth day of the lunar month.
Today is the last auction of the year for Baoyue Building. Unlike in the past, women were the majority of the guests in attendance today.
As soon as Jiang Yuqing and the Lu clan appeared in Baoyue Tower, they immediately attracted everyone's attention. The ladies stared at Lu's young and delicate face, and they were really envious and jealous.
For the beauty pill that is about to start filming, I also have more expectations and determination to win.
Baoyuelou is a veteran in the auction house, so he naturally knows when to put the lot on the auction to get more attention and the greatest benefit.
The auction began, and the first few items were ordinary treasures, such as a famous painting by a master in a previous life, Hetian Meiyu from the Far West, and even a jade pillow soaked in blood.
If you know how to do it, you can tell that it was dug up from a dead man's grave. Unexpectedly, there were many bidders who participated in the auction, and even sold a good price.
Jiang Yuqing's beauty pill was placed on the fourth round of auction, and it is a low-grade beauty pill.
When the master of ceremonies came up with the box in her hand, the glamorous female auctioneer immediately introduced it with the greatest enthusiasm: "Distinguished guests, now I am introducing the fourth lot of this lot, the Beauty Pill.
I believe that all the ladies present have heard and seen its miraculous effects.
The beauty pill came from the hands of the famous lord of the protector of the country. All of them have been refined over the years by rare flowers and plants, and there are five in total.
Two of them have already been taken by the Duchess of Jiang Guo and the Empress Mother. The remaining three, one for the upper grade, one for the middle grade, and one for the lower grade, have been handed over to the building for full auction.
This round of auction is one of the lower grade beauty pills. Efficacy: Beauty and beauty, women aged 30-50 can rejuvenate their appearance within three days after taking it, and can maintain their appearance for three years. ”
As soon as the emcee's voice fell, the scene was suddenly in an uproar.
Women only know that it has excellent beauty and beauty effects, and can quickly become beautiful in just a few days after taking it.
But I didn't expect that there was also the effect of keeping the face unchanged for three years.
At the moment, I was even more excited, and I just hated that I couldn't just pounce on it and grab it.
Seeing this, the master of ceremonies smiled with satisfaction: "Okay, I believe everyone has also understood." The next grade beauty pill is now auctioned, and the starting price is three thousand taels of silver! ”
As soon as the emcee finished speaking, the ladies in the audience raised signs and called for the price. Three thousand taels, five thousand taels, seven thousand taels, ten thousand ...... Soon it soared to thirty-one thousand taels.
Although the women sitting in the public seat also have a small amount of money, but the price has soared to this number, and they can only sigh with hope.
Then the ladies in the boxes on each floor began to bargain.
After several rounds of bidding, this low-grade beauty pill was auctioned off by a wealthy businessman's wife at a high price of 68,000 taels of silver.
As the auctioneer fell, Jiang Yuqing couldn't help smacking her tongue, while secretly sighing that the women in the capital were really too rich, and on the other hand, she reflected deeply, she still underestimated the women's pursuit and persistence in beauty.
After a few more rounds of lots, the second medium-grade beauty pill was listed. The auction started at 5,000 taels of silver, and was finally auctioned away by the third princess for 98,000 taels of silver.
The last top-grade beauty pill appeared in the finale. When the master of ceremonies said: "It can keep the face for ten years", the women present went crazy, and the competition also entered the white heat.
The pill with a starting price of 10,000 taels of silver, after rounds of competition, was finally won by Mrs. An Guo Shizi at an absolutely high price of 158,000 taels of silver.
Mrs. Anguo was born in the Shen family, the richest man in Great Xia, and is the pearl of the Shen family.
I heard that when I got married, the dowry alone filled three streets, and the end was rich in capital and wealth.
Hundreds of thousands of taels of silver are just for a pill, and even Jiang Yuqing, who has lived for two lifetimes, couldn't help but exclaim, "Good guy".
There was a saying in my previous life: "Poverty really limits my imagination!" ”
As soon as the women got the elixir, they couldn't wait to swallow it in their stomachs, lest it would change later.
The biggest winner of this auction is Jiang Yuqing.
The three pills sold for a total of 324,000 taels of silver, so Baoyuelou listed her as the top VIP customer and gave her the biggest discount, and there were 300,000 taels of silver after deducting the commission.
When the Lu family walked out of the Baoyue Tower, the whole person was floating.
Think about what she did?
She actually ate something worth more than 100,000 taels into her stomach, that is, two medium-sized treasure ships.
What a premature life! I don't know if it's too late to pick it out now?
Lu Shi returned home in a daze, and it took a long time to wake up and ask Jiang Yuqing: "Good baby, do you still have any beauty pills?" ”
Jiang Yuqing said: "Also, who does my mother want to give it to?" ”
Lu shook his head and said, "No, my mother just wants to tell you not to give it away again." If you give this old valuable thing out again, you can't feel sorry for me.
In the past, when we were not yet in our hometown, a copper plate could not be broken in half. Your father copied books for half a month, and it was only a little more than one or two pieces of silver.
As long as the mother thinks that she has swallowed more than 100,000 taels of silver in one bite, her heart will be uncomfortable. What a sin! ”
Jiang Yuqing snorted and laughed: "When things are refined, they are used to eat, not only for you, but also for my grandmother, aunt and sister-in-law, grandmother and aunt."
When the brothers marry their sisters-in-law, let's just use it as a dowry, wouldn't it be more face-saving? ”
The boss of Lu's mouth opened: "So many? Good baby, how much have you refined? ”
Jiang Yuqing smiled proudly, and then leaned into her mother's ear and said, "Practice as much as you want." So don't worry, mother.
Besides, it's good to put two or three of this thing out every year, and if you have more, it's worthless. ”
When Lu Shi heard this, he immediately smiled: "It's still my baby daughter who is smart!" In this way, the mother is relieved. ”
Jiang Yuqing earned 300,000 taels of silver for three pills, not to mention that the family in Beijing was red, and even the emperor was red.
I still remember that this girl is my future daughter-in-law, and she didn't do anything embarrassing to fight local tyrants.
His eldest reminded him: "Don't forget, how many things Qingqing has sent to the Northwest Army over the years."
Without her support, your life would be so comfortable! At the very least, it's hard to add a new court dress! ”
"......" Emperor Xia Jing was so angry that he was looking for something everywhere and wanted to kill this unfilial son.
It's easy to grab a paperweight, and when I see that it's still a famous kiln, I'm reluctant to throw it away.
It's smashed, and the inner government has to pay for it, it's not cost-effective! Forget it, bear with it!
Jiang Wenyuan was very calm about his daughter's sudden income of 300,000 taels of silver.
There is no shortage of money in the family, and now there is no need for a daughter to earn money to support the family. All the money she earns belongs to her, and she can do whatever she wants.
It was Doctor Qiu, who came to her as soon as he returned home: "Good baby, do you still have any beauty pills?" ”
Jiang Yuqing said: "Yes, what are you going to do?" Giving away? Her eyes instantly lit up: "Could it be that you finally want to open it and want to find us a wife?" ”
Doctor Qiu slapped her with a gesture: "What kind of nonsense is the stinky girl talking about?" I have the courage to make fun of your master! ”
Jiang Yuqing immediately folded his hands and said to forgive: "Don't dare, don't dare." It's just that the pill used by this woman, you don't have much effect after taking it? ”
Doctor Qiu glared at her and said, "Who said I was going to take it and eat it, I just want to see it, and I can't study it?" ”
Jiang Yuqing said: "Of course you can!" As he spoke, he took out a small jade bottle and gave it to him: "Here is a low-grade beauty pill, for you." ”
Doctor Qiu said: "Are there any raw materials for refining?" Let me see! ”
Jiang Yuqing didn't think much about it, and gave him another spirit grass and said: "These are spirit grass spirit flowers produced in the spirit realm, which contain spiritual power, which is different from ordinary medicinal herbs, just take a look, I'm afraid it can't be planted outside." ”
"Good, good!" Doctor Qiu doesn't care about this. With a perfunctory mouth, he took the spirit grass and the pill and walked away quickly.
Bai Xiaojiu, who was playing on the side, smelled a nice familiar smell and came over to arch her. Jiang Yuqing threw a roe deer to it, and the big guy happily ran away with the roe deer in his mouth.
After coming to the capital, it is not fun at all.
There are no meat sellers in the neighborhood, and there are a lot of bad intentions, always trying to coax it home.
How could it be coaxed away by Bai Xiaojiu with a few pieces of meat? What a joke!
It's annoying to see their slutty appearance, if it weren't for the fear of causing a lawsuit to the master, I really wanted to slap the girl to death.
So it's better to stay at home, have something to eat when you're hungry, and play around when you're full. Anyway, the garden at home is big enough, and it's barely big enough for it to run.
Since the day of the fight, he got the pill given by Jiang Yuqing, and Dr. Qiu didn't go to the hospital for a few days. Nest in your own yard and do research.
Jiang Yuqing knew his temperament, so he didn't bother him, and went to He'an Hospital to substitute for the old man.
Since that day, she gave her second sister-in-law a beauty pill, as long as she works in He'an Hospital, this lovely lady will come to visit the class every day and send her all kinds of nourishing and delicious soups, and she is very attentive.
Her husband, who works in the same place, really has nothing, which makes her second senior brother jealous, and every time she looks at her, she is so resentful.
On this day, her second sister-in-law came to bring her food again, but this time she finally didn't forget her husband again, and let the second senior brother follow suit.
After eating, the second sister-in-law took the food box and left.
Guo Xie remembered something, and suddenly asked her: "Little junior sister, what is Master doing at home these days?" What does he want so many ink stones for? "Ink stone is coal.
People in this world discovered that this thing can be burned more than 100 years ago, but it is not easy to mine, and the transportation is not developed, so it is expensive and has not been popularized.
The people still rely on firewood and grass at their fingertips for cooking.
It is only used in trades that need to smelt metal, such as blacksmithing. The lid is known for its long-lasting burning time and high temperature.
Jiang Yuqing was stunned for a moment, and said in surprise: "You mean that the master asked you for a lot of ink stones?" ”
Guo explained: "It's not a lot, three hundred catties." Why, you don't know? ”
Jiang Yuqing said: "I really don't know. These days, there are Do Not Disturb signs hanging outside Master's courtyard, and I can't go in.
But a few days ago, he asked me for a beauty pill and some herbs for refining beauty pills, and said that he would do research to see it. ”
Speaking of this, something suddenly flashed through her mind, and she suddenly clapped her hands and exclaimed, "Oh no! ”
"What's wrong?" Guo Xie was puzzled.
Thinking of a certain possibility, Jiang Yuqing instantly let out a cold sweat and said, "I probably know what the master is doing, he must be alchemy."
Oh my God, if you can't get it right, something big is going to happen! Let's go, we have to go back and stop him. ”
As he spoke, he turned around and ran. Guo Xie hurriedly followed.
As soon as their carriage turned into Rongning Street, they heard a loud "boom", and then saw black smoke rising from the sky above the Jiang Guogong's mansion.
