Chapter 36
Li Xiao did not expect that Yuan An would appear on such an occasion. As the number one young man in Liaoyang, Yuan An's actions attracted much attention. As soon as he appeared on the scene, he attracted everyone's attention.
Yuan Ang sat at the head table very gracefully, and was accompanied by two of the most popular girls in the brothel. The table was filled with seasonal fruits, vegetables, and wine almost instantly. Aunt Hong, who had just been dragged to the height of 258,000 yuan,
, wandering around Yuan Ang like flowers and butterflies.
The apples were peeled, the oranges were peeled. I don’t know where I got the grapes, but I also peeled them and put them in Yuan Ang’s mouth. It looked like he was just about to put milk in his mouth to feed himself.
The power of the second generation official is indeed terrifying!
"Is that Mr. Manager's young master?"
"Yes, that is Mr. Jinglue's young master. A few days ago, he won the top spot for Miss Cui'er, a popular shopkeeper."
There are two guys next to them, they look like Li Xiao, waiting here for the auction. This price-fighting hall arranges the auction of things. Once the transaction is completed, the seller has to sign the document and post the money. After the money is paid, the price-fighting hall
No longer responsible.
Therefore, these buyers are all waiting in the background. As long as their items are sold, they have to go on stage to sign and pledge in front of everyone. No matter how cheap or expensive they are, they will not regret it.
Li Xiao didn't expect that Mr. Yuan was okay with this. But who among normal men wouldn't be okay with this?
"That is the son of Mr. Futai! That is the son of the county magistrate. That one is very powerful. The son of General Zhu of the Guardian Yamen, that...that is the son of Mr. Xing of Liaoyang Prefecture. That one is doing
Official Zheng, who is in the jade business, is Mr. Liu from the government school. Hey! Official Qi, who is in the coal business, is here too. It looks like I am going to make a fortune today!"
Hearing that Master Xing's son had also arrived, Li Xiao suddenly became interested. Looking in the direction of their fingers, he saw a young man wearing a brocade robe, about 27 or 27 years old. This guy was very tall.
, thick eyebrows and big eyes, no matter how you look at it, you don’t look like Mr. Xing. His demeanor seems to be more similar to Ao Canghai. Could it be that Mr. Ao guest-starred as Lao Wang next door?
"It's begun! It's begun!"
"Stop talking, you can't bear to shock the noble man!"
"I know, shut up!"
These two people seemed to come here often to sell things, and they knew the rules and people below very well. Li Xiao learned a lot of information from their mouths.
"The first item for sale is the White Jade Guanyin! All gentlemen, please take your fancy!" Aunt Hong gave Yuan An a sweet kiss and walked up to the stage to start today's buying and bidding trip!
Those who came were all prominent figures in Liaoyang Mansion, and no one from the officialdom came in person. They all sent their own sons, but business people didn't have so many taboos, and they all came shirtless.
Judging from the bidding price, Li Xiao knew the class of people in this era. Businessmen generally did not bid for anything that the dandy wanted. Only things that the dandy did not want would start a price competition.
Of course, there are also businessmen and dandies who come together. You can tell at a glance that they are the best combination of power and money. If this happens, the killing will be extremely brutal and the price will soar very high!
However, if Yuan Ang bids the price, the scene will immediately become silent. If the item in someone's hand is taken a fancy by Yuan Ang, it will be very unlucky.
Although it is just an auction in Liaoyang Mansion, the quality is very high.
In addition to the white jade Guanyin, there is also an emerald carved pendant. The two Shu brocades shine brightly under the candlelight, and you can tell at a glance that they are good things. There is even a tea tube containing a Dahongpao produced in Wuyi Mountain. The real and fake plum blossoms are sealed.
Xiao Xiao doesn’t know, but what Aunt Hong said is quite evil. He shouldn’t dare to sell fake goods in front of these dudes.
The transaction price ranged from a few hundred taels to a few hundred taels. The Golden Buddha on the Jade Seat was said to be the treasure of Liu Yu's house in the Eastern Jin Dynasty. It was auctioned for a high price of one thousand taels of silver!
Master Xing's son, Xing Wenzhao, was rubbing his hands and feeling restless. Even the girl next to him could only stare at the table and lacked enthusiasm for the hypocrite beside him.
From the beginning of the auction, Xing Wenzhao was just a spectator. He never even bid once!
Dad said that he will resign soon. The whole family has moved back to his hometown and is selling off the property and houses. However, it is still too eye-catching to take back so much money. The land in Liaodong is chaotic, and good things often don’t come at a good price.
Mr. Xing thought that he would buy some valuable things in Liaodong and go back. When he got to his hometown, he might make a lot of money by selling them.
Therefore, Xing Wenzhao came to the price fighting arena.
But when I came here, I realized that the 200 taels of silver I had spent didn't seem to be able to do anything here. The cheapest starting price for the items being auctioned today was 130 taels, but after a few rounds, it rose to more than 200 taels.
.
Xing Wenzhao's eyes almost fell to the ground when he saw that the golden Buddha on the throne of Liu Yu of the Eastern Jin Dynasty was auctioned for a thousand taels of silver. These people are really damn rich.
However, Xing Wenzhao was not depressed for long, and soon he found his prey. A glass that was said to come from the Goryeo Palace, and the starting price was only ninety taels of silver. He felt in his pocket, maybe he could get it.
Although Master Xing is not a high-ranking official, he can still be regarded as a local leader in Liaoyang Mansion. As the eldest son of Master Xing, Xing Wenzhao has also seen some good things. He knows that although this kind of glass is not very valuable, but in the capital
There are still many dignitaries who like it, and the price is just right enough for me to eat.
"One hundred taels!" A lazy voice rang. Li Xiao took a look and found out that he was the county magistrate's son.
"One hundred and ten taels!" Another voice rang. This time, it was from the coal seller Zheng Daguan.
"One hundred and twenty taels."
"One hundred and twenty-five taels!"
"One hundred and thirty taels...!"
Compared with the previous auctions, the value of the glass is not high. Therefore, the asking price is also three to two or five taels, and the price goes up to 12 to 80 taels.
"Damn it, this thing wasn't taken away from me by Ao Canghai's idiot." A person next to him screamed!
Li Xiao took a sympathetic look at this unlucky guy. It seemed that this was the smuggler. Ao Canghai's fifty taels of silver worth more than a hundred taels of glass were stolen. Now seeing the price rising, naturally
I felt unhappy. I guess at this time, I had already greeted all the women in Ao Canghai's family.
After all, the glass is not a very valuable item, so the price stopped when it reached one hundred and thirty-five taels. The last bidder was Master Liu, a teacher in the Fu Xue School!
"Masters, one hundred and thirty-five taels. Is there any higher one? If there is no better one, this thing will belong to Mr. Liu!" Aunt Hong looked at the audience with a smile. At this time, she did not forget to give Yuan Angfei
An eye.
