The imperial merchants of the Southern Jin Dynasty in the west pavilion on the third floor, who did not hesitate to offend the big men of the Chaoyang Kingdom, also participated in the bidding of the book sticker, which could only be the meaning of the prince behind the imperial merchants.

As the future emperor of the Southern Jin Dynasty who was the most hostile to Chaoyang, he did not hesitate to spend a lot of money to buy book stickers to make a name for Xu Chen, a Chaoyang person, except that he was crazy and could not explain it, Xu Chen was puzzled, so in the end his thinking deviated from the right track and entered the realm of crooked and evil ways.
Pan An didn't know that Xu Chen's question hid a lot of corners, and replied: "The prince of the Southern Jin Dynasty is famous for being lustful, where can he be a good man, I really haven't heard that he likes calligraphy." ”
When the two were talking, the bidding for the book sticker became more and more intense, and there were only two parties who officially opened the bid, the chief steward of the bachelor's mansion and the imperial merchant from the Southern Jin Dynasty, but only two people bid, and the field was already full of sparks and turmoil.
Listening to the shouting of the price one after another, and listening to the amount of silver coins that were higher than one time at a time, Xu Chen had already forgotten why the prince of the Southern Jin Dynasty wanted to buy chicken soup stickers, and was very satisfied.
In a short time, the price of the stickers climbed to 18,000 taels of silver.
I only heard the sound of a snapping curtain on the third floor, and the chief steward of the Wang University Scholar's Mansion walked out with a calm face, stood by the railing and looked at the direction of the West Pavilion, and said with a sneer: "I have always been convincing people with reason and virtue, this is the capital city, I naturally will not bully you Southern Jin Dynasty people, so let's speak with silver." ”
The bamboo bone curtain of the West Pavilion was lifted, and a middle-aged businessman with a slightly chubby figure and a ruddy face slowly walked out, dressed in a brocade robe, with a jade pendant tied around his waist, and his bearing was extraordinary, he looked at the chief steward and said: "Tan is burdened with a heavy responsibility, and he doesn't dare to give up lightly, and I ask the chief steward to forgive me." ”
The price has been shouted, the face has been photographed, and the cruel words have been released, so the next thing is naturally to repeat the previous bidding process, although no party has suddenly increased the price too much, but with the passage of time, the price of the book sticker in the stage has been gradually raised to a jaw-dropping point.
"Thirty-one thousand taels. ”
"Thirty-two thousand taels. ”
"Thirty-three thousand taels. ”
The chief steward of the Bachelor's Mansion had a gloomy face, looked at the Southern Jin Dynasty merchants in the West Pavilion, and quoted a price of thirty-three thousand taels.
With the qualifications of the scholars and veterans of the three dynasties, no matter how strict Tang Law is, it can't stop the mansion from hiding the wealth of the sky, 30,000 taels of silver is indeed a lot, but it will not make the chief steward feel how terrifying, but everyone knows that behind him is a scholar Wang, a courtier who spends thousands of dollars to buy a book, will always cause some discussions, because he really wants to see the Southern Jin Dynasty merchant retreat.
However, who would have thought that the Southern Jin Dynasty emperor merchant would not hesitate to add another 1,000 taels of silver, looking at his calm and calm expression, it seems that he would not care if he added tens of thousands of taels.
The face of the Grand Steward of the Bachelor's Mansion became more and more gloomy.
There were some foreign envoys and businessmen in the Yishiju Pavilion, most of them were Chaoyang people, or the richest kind of Chaoyang people, and they couldn't help but be annoyed when they looked at the style of the Southern Jin Dynasty imperial merchant at this time.
It's not that they don't have silver, but no matter how much people like calligraphy, they will feel that the current price is a bit outrageous, and the Southern Jin Dynasty imperial merchant doesn't feel like he came to buy calligraphy, but like he deliberately came to fight with Chaoyang people for calligraphy or even to slap his face.
The discussion between the pavilions gradually started, and two Chaoyang imperial merchants who lived in the southern part of the capital began to prepare to bid, and the atmosphere became more and more enthusiastic or tense.
The only person who can keep calm is probably the seller on the stage, Zhongli, because he knew that this Southern Jin Dynasty imperial merchant was in the capital city for a long time, so he had long expected such a scene, and it can even be said that the scene of the Chaoyang people fighting with the Southern Jin Dynasty people was caused by him.
Zhongli is the partial brother of the Zhong clan in Yangguan, Yangguan is the most prosperous city in southern Xinjiang of Chaoyang, very close to the Southern Jin Dynasty, in fact, it was the northern capital of the Southern Jin Dynasty three hundred years ago, so the people living here know the Southern Jin Dynasty very well, although he was expelled from the Zhong family very early, but he knows everything that happened in the Southern Jin Dynasty, and he knows very well the sensitive and even somewhat deformed self-esteem of the Southern Jin Dynasty people when facing the Chaoyang people.
Because of something, he concluded that the Southern Jin Dynasty emperor would not give up the book sticker no matter what, so he dared to say in front of everyone that day that this book sticker would be sold for at least 30,000 taels!
Now that the line of 30,000 taels of silver has passed, Zhongli can't help but feel proud, as a seller, the greatest honor is to stay in the history books with the goods sold, right?
As a seller, Zhongli can be calm, happy, proud, and proud, but as the owner of Yishiju, the boss finds that the atmosphere in the venue is too hot and almost uncontrollable, but he can't be happy anyway, it's good to earn more commissions, but if he offends the big people on both sides, how should he deal with himself?
The boss stood behind the pillars on the first floor, looking at Zhongli with a gloomy face, and signaling with his eyes.
Zhongli realized and began to try to lower the atmosphere in the room, but as a Chaoyang Imperial merchant brazenly joined the battle, his attempt to end the auction suddenly came to naught.
Listening to the more terrifying amount of silver coins every time, even Zhongli, who had seen more extravagant auctions and larger scenes, began to feel nervous and even panicked.
This bid has evolved into a contest between Chaoyang and the Southern Jin Dynasty, although this contest has nothing to do with the strong, nothing to do with iron horses, only about money, but it is no longer something he can control.
Zhongli raised his sleeves and wiped his sweat repeatedly, realizing that he had underestimated the determination of the people of the capital to protect his pride, and also underestimated the influence of the prince of the Southern Jin Dynasty on the imperial merchant of the Southern Jin Dynasty.
The imperial merchant of the Southern Jin Dynasty quoted another extremely incredible price, and then he looked at the dignitaries and nobles of the Tang Kingdom in the pavilion and said with a smile: "My Southern Jin Dynasty is naturally not as rich as the Tang Kingdom, and I, a small businessman, must not be able to enter the eyes of the big men in the field, but after all, my Southern Jin Dynasty is a large country, and there is still some silver in the treasury." ”
Hearing this, there was an uproar in the pavilion, although the Chaoyang people in the field were all generous, but if this Southern Jin Emperor came out to bid for the silver from the Southern Jin Dynasty treasury, who could be his opponent? Unless at this time, His Majesty the Chaoyang Emperor came out with the silver in the inner treasury to shout.
As the merchant said, although the Southern Jin Dynasty was inferior to Chaoyang, the amount of silver in the treasury could not be compared to that of an imperial merchant or a scholar?
Could it be that today is really going to slap this Southern Jin Dynasty emperor in the face?
Although you can shout the price as much as you want, what if this Southern Jin Dynasty imperial businessman suddenly stops?
It's impossible to cheat again when the time comes, Tang Lu is not a decoration in the capital.
"The money in the treasury can be taken out to fight with others?"
Xu Chen looked at the Southern Jin Dynasty Imperial Merchant and didn't understand what was happening now.
Pan An said mockingly: "In such a backward and humble country, where do you know what laws and regulations, do you think that I am like the rising sun? The treasury in the eyes of the emperor and the crown prince of the Southern Jin Dynasty is their own tent, and they can naturally use it casually." ”
At this moment, a subordinate of the Bachelor's Mansion hurriedly walked to the steward and whispered a few words, and the chief steward, who had been silent for a while, turned his head to look at the Southern Jin Dynasty Imperial Merchant in the West Pavilion, and said with a sneer: "I thought that why His Royal Highness the Southern Jin Dynasty Prince was so interested in the book sticker, it turned out that it was because of the mountain lord of the Great River Country. ”
The Southern Jin Dynasty emperor did not deny it, and said with a smile: "Yes, my Royal Highness knows that the mountain lord loves this book sticker, so he decided to buy it and give it to the mountain owner." ”
The chief steward looked at this Southern Jin Dynasty imperial businessman, suddenly laughed, and said with all his sarcasm: "As the world knows, the mountain lord is infatuated with me, Mr. Xu Chen, Chaoyang, so he loves book stickers, does His Royal Highness the Crown Prince of your country have the luxury of replacing Mr. Xu Chen's position in the heart of the mountain lord with a book sticker?"
The face of the emperor of the Southern Jin Dynasty changed suddenly.
Without waiting for him to speak, the chief steward continued to mock and said: "Trying to use the things of a woman's beloved person to make this woman empathize and not fall in love, I really don't know what His Royal Highness the Prince of your country is thinking in his head! I didn't expect that your Southern Jin Dynasty people are waste on the battlefield, and a sword master in the Sword Pavilion is a waste, and even on the way to love, you are so incompetent!"
Humiliated by this, the face of the Southern Jin Dynasty Emperor Shang was difficult to see, the sleeves trembled, and it was conceivable that the fists in the sleeves were clenched very tightly, but there was no problem with what the chief steward said, on the battlefield, the Southern Jin Dynasty army was never the opponent of the Chaoyang Iron Cavalry, and Liu Qingshan of the Sword Pavilion was indeed cut down by Xu Chen at the side gate of the Doushan Sect, and the story between the bookworm Mo Shanshan and Xu Chen has been circulating in the world for many days.
This imperial businessman forcibly suppressed the anger in his heart, and scolded in a cold voice: "Bidding for books is only based on strength, if you have money to speak, if you don't have money, you don't need to talk, is it that Chaoyang people will only talk about it now!"
As soon as these words came out, they immediately attracted the anger and scolding of the Chaoyang people in the pavilion, but he ignored it anymore, just looked at the seller on the stage with a gloomy face, and it seemed that he had made up his mind to suppress people with money.
Xu Chen didn't expect that the prince of the Southern Jin Dynasty bought book stickers with a lot of money, because he wanted to please Shanshan.
