Chapter Ninety-Three: The Auction's Agar Grease
The days go by quickly.
In addition to daily martial arts practice, Chen Fusheng either studied behind closed doors, or went out with two groups of people to participate in literary meetings, and occasionally went to Jubao Street once or twice, and also found a lot of interesting gadgets.
In this way, autumn goes to winter, and the New Year will soon come.
"Childe, are you going to Vientiane Pavilion today?" He Xiangjun looked at Chen Fusheng, who was dressed neatly, and asked.
"That's good," Chen Fusheng straightened his clothes and said with a sigh, "I don't know if I can meet some good things this time." ”
He Xiangjun lowered his head and didn't say anything, in her opinion, the gold and silver that Chen Fusheng spent on Jubao Street these days were all wasted, and a stone actually cost tens of thousands of taels, and after buying it, Chen Fusheng threw it directly into the well without looking at it.
Everything else is almost the same, no matter who looks like Chen Fusheng is an out-and-out loser.
However, her identity is awkward, and it is inconvenient to say anything.
Chen Fusheng shook his head when he saw this, and didn't explain much to her.
Shen Zui and Ye Xin waited in the hall early, and they got along quite harmoniously these days.
They came for Chen Fusheng's copper coin, and a copper coin can bring two more people, and they all want to go over and see the world.
The carriage was prepared outside early in the morning, and it was the Kunlun slave that the Vientiane Pavilion had obtained from overseas, tall and pitch black.
The carriage with a special sign went all the way unimpeded and quickly reached the bottom of the Vientiane Loft.
Chen Fusheng lifted the curtain of the door and stepped out of the carriage, only to find that dozens of carriages had already stopped in front of the Vientiane Pavilion, most of them were the same as this one, and the few were noble and gorgeous carriages that far exceeded these carriages of the same shape.
"Oh, the bright yellow car is for the royal family, that one is from the family of the Wang scholar, the Wang scholar was born in the Langya Wang family, the family is noble, it is from the Confucian Mansion in Shandong, after the sage, that one is given by His Majesty to the general of Zhenbei. Shen was as drunk as a few guests, and introduced Chen Fusheng one by one, "Other families, no matter how rich and powerful the family is, and the carriage is more luxurious than this, they don't dare to show off in front of these families." ”
As he spoke, a blonde boy came out of it.
In the past few months, Chen Fusheng has come to this Vientiane Pavilion from time to time, and these people who receive him have long remembered him.
"Three sons, please. ”
Vientiane Pavilion did not accept any guests today, the first to fourth floors were empty, and Chen Fusheng and the three of them followed the blonde boy all the way to the fifth floor that they had never stepped into unimpeded.
Enlightened.
The fifth floor is a large hall, plus a back room, but there are no other rooms.
No matter which level of silver, gold, and treasure is sitting in this hall, and Chen Fusheng is in the miscellaneous books of the old-fashioned auctions, everyone is either masked or disguised, or they are hiding in the private room, refusing to show people in front of them.
However, this is also easy to understand, although the capital is not small, but there are few people who can go to this circle, everyone looks up and doesn't look down on weekdays, and there is really no need to cover up.
However, there are still some differences, and the few people of the Zhen level are separated by bead curtains, and the shadows are not real.
And they sat down, and began to communicate with one another.
Chen Fusheng and the three of them were young, and it was the first time they had come to this kind of place, except for being drunk, they were all out-and-out outsiders, so naturally no one took the initiative to talk to them.
Just when Chen Fusheng was bored looking at these most wealthy people in the capital, Yuan Tianxiang and other layers of stewards appeared one after another.
A crisp sound came from under Yuan Tianxiang's small wooden mallet, and the entire fifth floor fell silent at the same time.
Yuan Tianxiang took the lead in saying in an elegant voice: "It's the last auction of the year, and many VIPs are welcome to visit this pavilion, this time the guests are both old customers from previous years, as well as some newcomers who are participating for the first time. But it doesn't matter, the purpose of our Vientiane Pavilion is to treat everyone equally!"
Very satisfied with everyone's reaction, Yuan Tianxiang then spoke: "This time, the rules remain the same, the highest price will win, of course, if everyone has any rare things to sell to this pavilion, we are also very welcome." Definitely will give everyone a reasonable price.
When this auction is over, if you want to have a treasure that can be traded freely, we will never interfere in the slightest, let alone take any water from it, well, that's it, I announce the official start of the auction!"
As soon as the words fell, an interracial girl walked to the front of the stage with a tray.
Inside the tray were more than two dozen crystal clear glass bottles, which contained a translucent paste-like object, and I don't know what it was.
Shen Zui recognized it at a glance, and said in a low voice: "This is Qiongyun Fat, if my mother sees it, no matter how much it costs, I will buy it." ”
"Qiongyun Rouge, is it rouge gouache?" Ye Xin asked.
"That's right," quietly pointed behind the bead curtain, and said in a low voice, "The first thing the housekeeper and eunuch of the Internal Affairs Office do every time they come here is to buy these, it is said that this Qiongyun Fat is refined with the essence of the deep-sea cloud whale, just a small bottle will kill a cloud whale, and it is mixed with strange flowers and plants that we do not have in Middle-earth. ”
As if to verify his words, the housekeeper on the first floor had just stepped onto the stage, and a unique feminine voice sounded: "Mrs. Ma, you also know that the ladies in the palace have ordered our family to bring back all this Qiongyun grease every time, you just hand it over to our Internal Affairs Office directly, and our family guarantees that it will definitely not be lower than the price you sell outside." ”
Covering half of her face with a fan, Mrs. Ma smiled: "Gonggong Xie, the concubine has said many times, you can call Mary in Xia, not a horse character, as for this Qiongyun grease matter, you also know that we are not the boss, we can't be the master, when you have time, how about you discuss it with the two masters?"
"Forget it," Gonggong Xie was obviously disappointed, and waved his hand through the bead curtain, "The last time I talked to them about this, they actually asked to become an imperial businessman, and also asked for a reduction in tariffs, the appetite is too big, we rootless people can't interfere in politics, I don't dare to agree, otherwise the next day someone will knock on the Dengwen drum and ask to cut off my dog's head, so that your boss still has to deal with the people in charge of the household department, I don't dare to wade into this troubled water." ”
Ye Xin couldn't help but be speechless, and whispered to Chen Fusheng and the others: "This Vientiane Pavilion is so ambitious, once they are successful, I am afraid that they will be able to overpower the other two in an instant and dominate this Jubao Street!"
