Chapter Seventy-Five: Bureau
Fan Bufan pursed his lips and turned his head stupidly, and someone in the hall had already begun to bid for the price.
"I'll pay sixteen taels and five dollars!!"
"I'll give seventeen taels !!"
"Eighteen taels!"
"I'll give twenty taels!"
Fan Bufan was watched day and night for several days, and his mood was quite depressed. And just after he made him look fresh, his mood eased slightly, and then he made the cold faces of those black-robed people worse, and he was really indignant in his heart.
remembered that Yang Yaoyao left a word on the day of his death, and said, 'All the expenses can be counted on my head surnamed Yang'.
Fan Bufan is worried that there is no place to get angry. Didn't you send someone to keep an eye on Mr. Ben? Didn't you prevent Mr. Ben from leaving the city? Now it's okay, Mr. Ben won't leave! I'm afraid that your family is not thick enough!
At present, the Dingyan Dan has been called to a price of twenty-two taels, and looking at the previous auction market, it only sold at a high price of twenty-five taels in the Mid-Autumn Festival last year.
On the west side of Fan Bufan, there are four or five desk chairs separated from it, and there is a white-faced boy, dressed very brightly, embroidered with five patterns of "cloud", "bat", "butterfly", "longevity" and "branch", which is extremely luxurious. This person has a pale face, bloodless lips, and no eyes, presumably because he indulges too much on weekdays, and he is fundamentally inflated.
Behind the man stood a middle-aged man in the housekeeper's uniform, with a very shrewd appearance, with a three-inch beard under his chin, and the twenty-two taels he shouted for his master.
The old man on the stage saw that no one made a higher bid, so he said: "According to the rules of the industry, the one with the highest price wins, and there is no one with a higher bid, so this Dingyan Pill will belong to the son at the eleventh table." ”
The woman holding the wooden box next to the old man gently closed the lid of the box and bent down to the white-faced boy below to give a blessing. Although she covered her face with a light veil and couldn't see her face, she must have smiled when she saw her eyebrows and eyes crooked at the moment.
The white-faced man sitting at the bottom unconsciously hooked the corners of his lips, half praising and half jokingly: "What a stunner." ”
The middle-aged man who looked like a housekeeper behind him also laughed, raised his eyebrows, and looked a little obscene, "Childe, is this a look?"
The white-faced man smiled playfully, noncommittal.
Just when everyone on the spot thought that the dust had settled, Fan Bufan shook the folding fan and shouted without hurrying: "I'll give out thirty taels." ”
Although his voice was not loud, it made the rankings in the field staggering.
The white-faced boy leaned over and looked at him, his expression was quite incredible, and he said in his heart, where did this fool come from? These thirty taels of Qishan red copper can already buy the elixir that can be purchased, and it can save his life in times of crisis. What's the use of Dingyan Dan? Is it just to please the girl?
Even if it is to please a woman, it should not be so cost-free.
Just like him, he spent twenty-two taels to shoot this Dingyan Pill today, and he didn't need to give it away seriously. As long as it is past tonight, the major weathered lands will definitely get news tomorrow. At that time, he was still worried that the girls didn't want to do everything they could to please themselves, and he only needed to take this Dingyan Pill to the girls and take a look, and then he could sell it at a low price of twenty taels when he turned around.
This buy and sell, although it is a loss of two taels, but in exchange for the girls scrambling to throw them into their arms, it is a big profit.
And he, Fan Bufan, actually bought this Dingyan Pill at a high price of thirty taels, even if he sold it for twenty taels in the future, he would lose ten taels of it, and he would lose blood.
Fan Bufan saw the white-faced boy looking at him, with mockery on the corners of his eyebrows and lips, and couldn't help but feel angry in his heart, shouting, "Forty taels!"
This...... A group of people looked at each other, but today they saw a freshness, not to mention how much it was a loss to grandma's house to buy a Dingyan Pill with thirty taels of Qishan red copper. It's the ability to bid with yourself, who has ever seen it?
Fan Bufan looked at the white-faced man, and when he saw the disdainful look on the man's face, he said angrily: "Little white-faced, aren't you convinced?" ”
The white-faced boy pursed his lips and snorted coldly, don't look around, and dusted his placket in disgust, as if he was four or five apart, still afraid that the rude person would defile the brocade clothes.
Fan Bufan also snorted coldly, stretched out his hand and dusted off his robe, but when he was dressed in coarse cloth, he was a little shabby in comparison, and he was unhappy for a while, and opened his mouth to shout: "One hundred taels." ”
When the old man on the high platform saw him shouting like this, he couldn't hold his breath and said with a smile: "I said Childe, how can there be a reason to bid with yourself in this world? That is, Childe is willing to give, and I will never dare to accept the old man." It's still based on the thirty taels offer given by Childe before, how about it?"
Fan Bufan was full of unhappiness, what he originally wanted was to throw a lot of money and make trouble for the Yang family, but he asked the little white face to block him, and said hatefully: "Your Danfang is open to do business, and you are afraid that Mr. Ben will not be able to give money?"
"How dare you!" The old man on the stage smiled and said: "Just with the few black-robed people behind Gongzi, this Dingyan Pill was given to Gongzi, so what's the matter? If Gongzi intends to take care of the business of this store, we will have the next pill to be imported, and I guess we will not disappoint Gongzi!"
Fan Bufan nodded, "Thirty taels is thirty taels, and if there are anything valuable, take them." ”
The old man on the stage glanced at the woman beside him, and the woman nodded and turned to retreat. In a moment, five young girls with light veils covering their faces came in turn.
The five people were in a row, and the old man began to introduce from one side in turn: "Rank, what is contained in this first wooden box are two 'strong qi pills'. People who practice martial arts value the most that dantian long qi, and the old man only wishes to use this strong qi pill to help the world's martial arts, and everyone can keep a dantian qi and not fall the backbone of the martial arts. The starting price is one hundred taels of Qishan red copper. ”
There are a lot of martial artists sitting underneath, all of them with wide shoulders and broad bodies, tangled muscles, although they are dressed a little rougher, but the clothes are very high-quality, and they are all children of big clans. If they were all like the one who could only afford to drink a pot of wine for three cents, I am afraid that they would not dare to sit down.
A voice shouted, "I'll give you a hundred and ten taels." ”
"One hundred and twenty taels. ”
"I'll give you a hundred and fifty taels. ”
Although these people shouted loudly, it was not difficult to hear that there was some gritted teeth and bitter distress in their words.
Fan Bufan held a folding fan in his hand and shouted, "Three hundred taels!"
The ranks present cast strange glances one after another, and said in their hearts, this person shouldn't be a fool, right? Spend three hundred taels of Qishan red copper just to buy two strong qi pills? I'm afraid it's not a person who doesn't have a long heart?
Fan Bufan looked around, but saw many strange eyes looking at him, some people were puzzled, some people were envious, but no one had an angry face. It was like a certain girl's house, and she saw a woman of her age and similar appearance, and she said, If I put on her embroidered clothes, I will be prettier than her. But once the woman you meet is unparalleled in the world, you can no longer have such thoughts, but you have to sigh secretly, "What a beautiful person." ”
There was silence on the field for a while, and the old man smiled at Fan Bufan: "Since there is no one with a higher bid, then these two strong qi pills will belong to the prince of the ninth table." ”
The girl left with the box, and the old man continued to explain: "The next thing can be described as amazing, called 'Mysterious and Void'. It is recorded in the book "Lao Tzu", "Xuanzhi and Xuan, the door of all wonders". "Zhuangzi Zhibei Tour" separately notes, "It's not Kunlun, it's not too empty." There is a strange medicine in this mysterious Taixu Dan, produced in the uninhabited wilderness, called 'Grass', this grass leaves overlap, yellow flowers, take it can make people sink into the illusion, just like the fugue is too empty. If this medicine is taken by those who practice mental power, it is very likely that they will see all illusions, open the door to all wonders, and realize the path of enlightenment, as described in the book. It's a pity that there are very few people who practice mental power, so this elixir is not very popular, and the starting price is three hundred taels. ”
After the old man finished speaking, he was no longer in a hurry to quote in the field, so they all looked at Fan Bufan.
Fan Bufan was also cool and unpretentious, and opened his mouth to shout: "Five hundred taels." ”
When those people heard this, they all looked strange, this 'mysterious too empty' is just a trick, I don't know how many times it has been lost, this time it was lucky, I met a fool, and I was willing to pay five hundred taels to buy this broken thing, not stupid but what?
The old man on the stage said with a smile: "Since no one is bidding a high price, then this mysterious Taixu Pill is ......."
"I'll give five hundred and fifty taels. ”
Before the old man finished speaking, he heard a woman's voice in the corner, like the wind chimes swaying under the eaves of the ancient water town when the grass grows and the warbler flies, which is very ethereal and pleasant.
Fan Bufan looked back and saw that it was the woman in the yellow dress he met on the way when he went out today.
Fan Bufan pouted and smiled, raised the folding fan and shook it gently, "Five hundred and sixty taels." ”
The woman in the yellow group then shouted, "Six hundred taels!"
"Six hundred and ten taels!"
"Seven hundred taels!"
"Seven hundred and ten taels!"
Fan Bufan seemed to have intentional, no matter how much the woman in the yellow dress bid, he was only ten taels higher than her.
"Childe has always spent a lot of money, but now why is his momentum short? Isn't there no money?" the woman in the yellow dress in the corner said sarcastically.
